[00:00] idea4good - sudo iwconfig what is the presently used essid?

It keeps getting access denied when it tries to access the windows shares. When I checked the log file, it keeps trying to login anonymously, even when i provide it with a password. what should i do? [00:00] ttyl [00:00] idea4good - sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid then sudo iwconfig and see if the AP lists a MAC address or it says unassociated... [00:00] simpleos: the log files? y'now? [00:00] mindrape: its listing a network that is open [00:00] Ok. Just to view, or the filename?

[00:20] iShock: no, but cheese and camE probably can [00:20] roca: You should try asking in #winehq [00:20] Gnea, huuuh. I don't remember the xorg cross-pollination resulting in a libc6 version upgrade but that's the same version I've got installed on 8.04.1 [00:20] Flannel, thanks [00:20] caimlas: if intrepid's dist-upgrade is upgrading libc6, then i'd let it upgrade it [00:21] !appdb > roca [00:21] roca, please see my private message [00:21] does anyone has news about "GDM face browser / Login Experience" ?

You'll have packages "held back" [00:28] uffo, marginally supported hardware... [00:28] caimlas: while much of the debian package management system is used in Ubuntu, many other procedures are different and need to be followed to the letter in order to avoid problems [00:28] Gnea, from the looks of it. [00:28] Flannel, I'm aware of that. [00:29] my primary nic doesn't work and isn't connected. I have a second one that works, but does not show up in "network connections" [00:29] how can I get it in there? [00:29] Gnea: That's not really true, but using update-manager for version upgrades certainly is a best practice [00:29] What's up with the flood throttling going on? [00:29] if I'm having iptable problems, where should I go? [00:29] Jack_Sparrow: someone told me that this should fix if i switch only to b or g mode but how??? [00:30] uffo, what release of ubuntu and what chipset/network card [00:30] Arenlor: Floodbot is weird like that. If you're on IRSSI, issue /ignore -channel #ubuntu * MODE (I think that's it, anyway.) [00:30] Flannel: well, one thing that ubuntu does that debian does not is the whole do_release_upgrade thing, which, yeah, is what the update-manager covers [00:30] uffo: i always recommend alfa 036h to folks...its around 50 bucks and AWESOME.......that is if your marginally supported h/w must be changed [00:31] Gnea: You can still upgrade successfully doing it manually. Certainly not catastrophic as you made it seem [00:31] Flannel: and that's one of the primary reasons why I prefer to use ubuntu instead of debian, particularly in a production environment :) [00:31] PokerFacePenguin, Do you have a link to those.. just for a reference [00:31] uffo: http://rokland.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=294&osCsid=136ce825b5da5f99cf02e921ee8fdfda [00:31] ty [00:31] Anyone can help me install ubuntu on a EeePC ?

[01:01] hey, is there any way to debug a computer (get a getty/console) via it's USB port? [01:01] Arenlor, niether is recomended [01:01] onetinsoldier: ill try to figure it out. thanks for the help [01:01] lfaraone: you need special USB cables for it, then it's just a NIC [01:02] Jack_Sparrow: Alrighty.

(Radeon x1650 ) drivers were a bit tricky on 8.04 but ubuntu basically told me I need to run update to use the ati drivers ... I said ok and that was it no muss no fuss [01:35] ok no answer [01:35] Uplink: Hold on [01:35] ardchoille: not sure then... that's what it was in links [01:35] kk [01:36] onetinsoldier: ok. thogh i've never seen any wan ip's listed in a host file before. from my understanding i thought a host file was for something that you wanted to address locally [01:36] rivitingone: even my wifi card worked just by plugging it in ... no ndiswrapper to mess with [01:36] well....im gonna go since im lagging tremendously [01:36] i could use a hand myself, if anyone knows how to install grub on a software raid0 by chance. i have ubuntu installed on it, just can't get grub to load it [01:36] Uplink: Do you have the version from Medibuntu installed, or the ones normally available? [01:36] i cut then nautilus freezes or something for some times from time to time and the files disappear... omg please help me important files [01:36] gam3r111, what have you done to help yourself, have you tried to research installing msi files? [01:37] WebcamWonder: how do i check [01:37] Donavan: When I do the new install will it set up partitions for me automatically or should I do some research ahead of time to find out what to do? [01:37] !ot [01:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:37] noone knows anything about this? [01:37] mordof: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97275/ ...this might help you understand the hosts file a little better, although, i don't fully understand it myself, lol. --> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/hostname-fqdn-etchosts-setup-302189/ [01:38] nbeebo - you could put in the live cd, mount your filesystem, and move them to a usb device or some such [01:38] omnydevi: It's been a while, but I think you have to have a boot partition outside of the raid [01:38] Uplink: Can you please see whether liblame0 is installed or not [01:38] DCC SEND 12345678901234567890 [01:38] If anyone has expierence with HP photosmart printers and scanning in ubuntu, any help would be ausome. I'm trying to set it up so its pretty automated and i'm having trouble. [01:38] omnydevi, thanks alot but i dont really understand.. [01:38] Uplink: Oh, in order to encode to MP3 you need the one from Medibuntu [01:38] WebcamWonder: bro i have converted files to .mp3 before... :S [01:38] lame encoder [01:39] outside of the raid...doh! do you know if admdm...something like that, or dmraid? i was using dmraid. and i have my raid set in nvidia. just dmraid made my stand alone drive a broken mirror [01:39] heh [01:39] onetinsoldier: i believe that'd be a loopback for your internet address in your host file [01:39] oh shi................ [01:39] Uplink: Well, that is what my description of the package says, "This package is built with the risky option to support mp3..., there it is in Medibuntu" [01:39] nbeebo - right now I am on the live CD, if you have the Ubuntu CD, you can put it in, select "try ubuntu without changes to your computer" and get back on pidgin and i can walk you through the rest [01:40] mordof: sure, the first one and the last one are... but the middle one? [01:40] onetinsoldier: that's what the middle one is [01:40] Rivitingone: Well the depends ... I normally just tell it to use the whole drive and let the installer do what it wants to ... if you need to mess with the partitions, because your using a duel boot or something then I would look into it before you start but if its just the whole drive thing just go with what is says [01:40] so I can't get rythumbox to play cd's [01:40] Has anyone tried using the Creative drivers for X-Fi cards? I'm trying to compile them now but it's hanging on make install... [01:40] omnydev: I think that applies to pretty much any SW raid in linux. [01:40] WebcamWonder: so what do i do dude? [01:40] mordof: the middle one is not a loopback address [01:40] omnydevi, i dont think you know what my problem is sorry.. i ctrl+x a file, nautilus freezes for about 30 sec or generally slow then i cant paste it anymore--- [01:41] omnydevi: I think grub2 might be addressing that, but I'm not sure [01:41] @Jair - know if I disable raid in BIOS and just let Ubuntu handle it, or does it need to be up? [01:41] donavan: ok sounds like a plan. Thanks for the info. [01:41] onetinsoldier: rather. sorry, if you type maroon-bells it points to that ip address. instead of anything a dns server would try to resolve [01:41] Rivintingone: no problem ... happy installing [01:41] Uplink: Are you sure you have encoded to MP3s before? [01:41] WebcamWonder: yes sir [01:41] @nbeebo - I understand, is this a new install or this just start happening? [01:41] why does everyone call me rivitingone when the name I see when I type is Xavier? [01:41] anyone know why I can't get rythum box to play? [01:41] Uplink: Can you pastebin ffmpeg -formats | grep mp3 [01:41] omnydevi: if you're not useing dmraid, then yeah, you won't need the bios stuff, it'll all be in the kernel. Honestly I've never noticed a speed difference between either one. [01:42] WebcamWonder: uplink@HP-Pavilion:/media/hd1/Users/Uplink/Downloads/National Product/Luna$ ffmpeg -i 09\ Quay.m4a -acodec mp3 -ab 128k quay.mp3 [01:42] omnydevi, yes, first time i use tabs [01:42] "Update module dependency relationships..." is the last thing it says and then it goes quiet. [01:42] How do I remove gnome-panel from my session in Intrepid? [01:42] cause your coming up in here as rivitingone [01:42] mordof: normally, on the desktop version, there's just the first and third line i have in there. but i had to add that middle line to get 'sendmail' to quit complaining ;-) [01:42] Hi. I am trying to fix my friend's windows box. His hard drives both will not mount in Ubuntu live; they give a long error message about an unclean shutdown and NTFS being in use. I can pastebin the entire message if needbe. [01:42] @JairunCaloth - roger, I need the raid for Virtual Machine performance :) [01:42] omnydevi: since Nvidia's raid isn't a true hardware raid. It performs about the same as a software raid [01:42] onetinsoldier: host file just overrides dns results [01:42] mordof: ok, roger that [01:42] donavan: odd... oh well, not for long! [01:42] FLeiXiuS, i think its under "services" in > sysem > administration [01:43] onetinsoldier: so my guess is, your sendmail complaints are because dns isn't resolving to what it should [01:43] change your nick [01:43] i use a lot of vm's with xp for work, I suppose I could just say screw the raid and use each drive for a vm... [01:43] rythum box users here? [01:43] omnydevi, that would be a good choice [01:43] Uplink: Hold on, that is weird, doesn't work on my PC as well.. give me a minute [01:43] mordof: i beleive, sendmail uses the hosts file directly [01:43] nbeebo: I didnt see anything in there [01:43] Uplink: Oops, works... That was a typo [01:43] onetinsoldier: as does ssh, which is why i have client and server in mine [01:44] FLeiXiuS, hmm lemme check im no pro but i recall it ther.e.. [01:44] WebcamWonder: where is the typo? lol :D [01:44] Uplink: I wrote ffmpeg twice on my terminal :) [01:44] onetinsoldier: well.. ssh uses dns results by default.. either way [01:44] !coc > gam3r111 [01:44] gam3r111, please see my private message [01:44] FLeiXiuS, ok cant find it sorry [01:44] nbeebo: Ive been loooking around for it [01:44] omnydevi: i've got mine setup as a two disk raid 0. Back when I had an Nvidia chipset I used dmraid and just had the disks with exactly the same partition layout. Then I made the first partition on one of the disks a /boot. then raided what was left. I also copyed the data in /boot to the matching partition on the other drive, for a little added protection [01:44] onetinsoldier: i guess my only option at this point is to reinstall my server x.x; [01:44] I'm trying to compile the drivers for my X-Fi soundcard and make install is hanging for some reason... no errors or anything, it just sits there. "Update module dependency relationships..." is the last thing it says and then it goes quiet. [01:44] Uplink: Can you pastebin that output of ffmpeg -formats | grep mp3? [01:45] hello [01:45] i cut then nautilus freezes or something for some times from time to time and the files disappear... omg please help me important files [01:45] bah, people should be out sending up rockets, getting drunk and torching stuff now, not sitting in here :) [01:45] hello [01:45] i really need an expert .

You could use the kernel upgrade anyway. [01:46] csc__: state the nature of your technical emergency and someone might be bothered to help you [01:46] i am trying to remaster the ubuntu iso. the cdrom boots but In process of loading OS from ISO I receive BusyBox shell. ... mount: Mounting /dev /loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument ...

I will try the /boot. I think I have it now, just keeps saying something or another is busy. If it doesn't work, I will just install Ubuntu on a 250gb hdd then use my other drives as just seperate storage [01:46] Flannel: probably. [01:46] i am on the busybox shell now and i cant mount the squasfs in anyway [01:46] csc__, That is not within the scope of ubuntu support.. [01:46] csc__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization that might be helpful [01:46] sorry all, i found the files... cant see them in nautilus for some reason though [01:47] WebcamWonder: yay! its encoding:D [01:47] mordof: no.. you don't need to reinstall you server from scratch, someone can fix this. you will need patience tho [01:47] @nbeebo woot! you try moving them in terminal? [01:47] terminal is a good fallback in about any situation :) [01:47] mordof: you could try the #networking channel [01:48] Uplink: Haha. Apparently, libmp3lame is the only library providing mp3 encoding support. I guess it depends on how the packages were built [01:48] raylu: help!! [01:48] WebcamWonder: lol ok thanx a lot dude, sweet :D [01:48] omnydevi, actually, installed and opened in pcmanfm then opened up another window of nautilus and i found them there :D [01:48] Uplink: No problems. Glad to help :) [01:48] omnydevi, ihmmm no moving in terminal [01:49] WebcamWonder: im just curious, are u good with webcams? [01:49] can anyone help get rythum box to play? [01:49] Uplink: Haha. A question I get asked a lot. Reply: I don't even own a webcam :) [01:49] @nbeebo - your terminal isn't doing anything?

I am trying to recover some data from my friend's old broken Windows box. In live, I can see both his hard drives, but they will not mount. They give a long error message about an unclean shutdown and NTFS already being in use. It gives 2 options: one for windows and linux. The linux one says "You can use the 'force option for your own responsibility" , but I don't want to break his data. Any ideas? [01:50] brb, going to give this a whirl, glad i found this room, take care all :) [01:50] omnydevi, i meant everything is fine now thanks! :D happy new year! [01:50] @nbeebo - you too! :D [01:50] Joeseph: what does "sudo fdisk -l" say? [01:51] mordof: still here? where do you set your static ip? in /etc/networking/interfaces? [01:51] onetinsoldier: no, i'm not sure exactly where i set it. hold on [01:51] raylu: help, help,help us! [01:51] raylu: :-) [01:52] rythum box proplems. can anyone help? [01:52] biouser, give more info [01:52] Could I get some help mapping my mouse and keyboard buttons (Please dont send !keys or !mouse, cause I've tried those and so far I've gotten nowhere because I dont know what the current keymap is) [01:52] Uplink: Do you want me to pastebin it? [01:52] Joeseph: yea [01:52] onetinsoldier: that file is empty for me... though i pulled up the guide. i'm wondering if it erased my network interface thing completely and that's why it's not working? [01:52] biouser, its not clear what your problems are with rhythmbox [01:53] onetinsoldier: nevermind, it's /etc/network/interfaces and yeah, it's set in there [01:53] well i'm trying to play a cd and rythum box pops up but won't play [01:53] any networking guru's here? mordof can't reach the internet on his server after trying to implement internet connection sharing on his 8.10 server version [01:53] I'd just like to state that my wireless ACTUALLY WORKS on intrepid. And that is astonishing. Happy new years everyone. =) [01:53] Hello I have a question about an external drive I connected it to my laptop but I am not being allowed to use or pull off any data on it because of permissions [01:53] biouser, is it a cd with special copy protection; check the case [01:54] mordof: i have an idea.. you can try it only if you want, hang on a minute [01:54] onetinsoldier: i'll try anything at this point [01:54] it is store bought but i dont have the case [01:54] mordof: ok, but anyway, you don't need to reinstall, believe me [01:54] davit, You can change the permission or if this is a one time thing gksudo filemanager it [01:54] onetinsoldier: i've have my server running solid for almost a year, it'll take weeks to get it back in that condition if i attempt a reinstall [01:54] onetinsoldier: kk [01:54] Could I get some help mapping my mouse and keyboard buttons (Please dont send !keys or !mouse, cause I've tried those and so far I've gotten nowhere because I dont know what the current keymap is), and it is telling me that I have 32 buttons for the mouse so I could really really use some help mapping them [01:55] Uplink: It'll be just a second, I have to use a flash drive to transfer the info... no internet on the other pc. [01:55] GodfatherofEire: no one responding means no one knows. try google, or just wait a bit before trying again plz. [01:55] biouser, is it every cd you own or just that one; what about ripping it to mp3 does that work, and if not what are the exact errors you get ---> paste.ubuntu.com with them [01:55] Joeseph: oh man... ok just tell me if you see NTFS on the list [01:55] ssmy, sorry, perception of time is a little off, thought I sent it longer ago than I did [01:55] Jack_sparow When I goto Permissions tab It says the permissions could not be determined [01:56] hi [01:56] davit, what is the format on the drive/partition [01:56] does anyone know if you can set rotation easily? [01:56] mordof: change this line --> 127.0.1.1 ubuntu.no-domain-set.bellcanada ubuntu -to- --> ubuntu.no-domain-set.bellcanada ubuntu ...then do invoke-rc.d networking restart [01:56] GodfatherofEire: np. honest mistake. [01:56] Jack: Under volume it shows ext3 [01:56] mordof: make a backup of the hosts file first [01:57] Uplink: I'm working on getting internet up now, but I see no NTFS [01:57] davit, Where did the partition come from, which os etc, or was it just data [01:57] mordof: even tho i think it's vroken [01:57] broken* [01:57] Jack: Its an external drive just data [01:57] Joeseph: hmm then the drive is unreadable... try putting it on a ziplog bag and put it on a freezer for a night [01:57] onetinsoldier: k give me a sec [01:58] mordof: ok, no hurries here, no worries [01:58] davit, I would fsck it first.. the fact that it cant see permissions gives me cause for concern [01:58] mordof: you should almost pastebin your problem so you can tell people what it is and what yu have tried easy. I would try to help. have succeeded in 8.04, so maybe... need more details. [01:58] bazhang, there are no error messages everthing pops up correctly it just doesn't play the songs and i'm not quite sure about mp3 I don't have one [01:58] Uplink: what? [01:58] raylu: help help help! please! :-) [01:58] ssmy: ok, give me a min k? [01:58] during a video card install, my principal drive was trashed. Cannot mount, cannot reinstall GRUB from Live CD. testing with partition editor yields errors. is it recoverable??? [01:58] Jack: How do i fsck it I never heard of that one :-p [01:58] mordof: ok, no problem, no hurreis [01:58] !fsck [01:58] 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 [01:58] mordof: ok, no problem, no hurries [01:59] Jack: in the terminal? [01:59] biouser, no need to have a player, what happens when you try to rip the cd songs to mp3 format paste.ubuntu.com with the errors from that [01:59] davit: yeah [01:59] davit, yes, you can man fsck for more info as needed [01:59] Uplink: I take that back, I see two NTFS, but they are both in the 'boot' label part of the device. [01:59] Jack: [01:59] davit@davit:~$ !fcsk [01:59] Joeseph: lol thats good [01:59] bash: !fcsk: event not found [02:00] davit: In terminal type "man fsck" exactly like that. [02:00] onetinsoldier: no change [02:00] Uplink: what else could be wrong?

They recommend it that you boot off it and do a clean shutdown, and then mount in Linux. I have never tried, but it might just be a precaution [02:03] mordof: also, i want to say that i don't know why you haven't ended your full machine name with a . in there [02:03] Thank [02:04] ok I did as the channel suggested on installing, now it just hangs :( [02:04] onetinsoldier: i had someone help me set all that up [02:04] Joeseph: WebcamWonder is right... whenever i hibernate my windows and boot on linux the partition wont mount [02:04] onetinsoldier: i don't know either [02:04] mordof: roger [02:05] WebcamWonder, Uplink: well, I can't boot it into windows anyway--- I'll try to see if google has any suggestions for this sort of thing real quick. [02:06] Joeseph: i forgot the name of a really good data recovery application... [02:07] how do i delete old mountpoints? [02:07] Is there any application on synaptic for merging two libraries? [02:07] Joeseph: Most people report that it doesn't matter at all. Only the journal is directly flushed, which might cause the loss of data from about 3 seconds of the past windows [02:08] Uplink: unmount and remove the directory [02:08] Uplink: You can just remove the directories, rmdir [02:08] ty :D [02:08] WebcamWonder: What do you mean 'the loss of data from about 3 seconds of the past windows"? [02:10] mordof: have you tried #networking ? you might want to look at your /etc/resolv.conf file... /hosts.allow /hosts.deny /hostname ...and type hostname as a command to see what it returns, and there's probably more to do [02:10] wow, large group [02:10] mordof: you probably know, but thos are all in /etc [02:11] what the hell is a floodbot?!

I just find it really hard to follow. i'll post the log on the net if that helps if we fix it. [02:18] is there a reason why I might be getting high iowait? [02:19] I would like to know this best virtual machine software to use? [02:19] mordof: is there any reason you need thes entries? [02:19] !best | williammanda [02:19] !best | williammanda [02:19] williammanda: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:19] williammanda: try virtualbox, its free and in the repos [02:19] :P [02:19] :D [02:19] raylu: php mail testing on my apache server, ssh for faster dns lookups [02:20] RE: hard drive crash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97295/ [02:20] ok...you win...I hate windows but I need it [02:20] mordof: i think it might be a good idea to remove those entries for now. dns lookup times usually aren't that long and they only need to be done once anyway [02:20] hi [02:20] raylu: 20s, and happens every time i log on [02:20] ltgg: bad blocks and block errors are usually a sign of a dying drive [02:20] williammanda>> i know the feeling I'm hooked on OneNote and M$ Office only reason i use a VM [02:21] mordof: woah. sounds like something is misconfigured; might want to look into that first [02:21] I trade future for a living....there is no linux version ...so I'm stuck [02:21] eseven73: onenote...? that one shouldn't be hard to replace [02:22] ltgg: if you click "Ctrl + alt + F1" you will be dumped to a console, if you see messages like "Buffer I/O error" popping up, your looking at a drive failure, Ctrl + alt + F7 will get you back to X [02:22] cocoabean: drive is a new WD, problem arose while trying to install a PCI-X graphics card. [02:22] raylu>> ive tried everything nothing comes close to OneNote.... BasKet is the nearest thing to it that I've come accross [02:22] I have been loading xp for several hours [02:22] ltgg: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/24940-ext3-problem-attempt-read-block-filesystem.html [02:23] eseven73: what features do you use? i'm not entirely clear what it has, actually :P [02:23] Various things i wont get into here cause its offtopic [02:23] williammanda: have you looked into wine? [02:24] raylu yes...isn't that mainly based on windows 98? [02:24] wikipedia will tell you what the onenote contains [02:24] williammanda: um... based on? no [02:25] words cant describe OneNote's goodies ysangkok :) [02:25] raylu: thanks for the link. as a Linux newbie not sure that will help me, but I'll try. [02:25] williammanda: if it were, microsoft would have sued them quita while ago [02:25] ltgg: as a warning, runlevel 1 will take down your gui [02:25] williammanda: *quite a while [02:25] raylu ok I will try that after I load virtual box [02:26] hi, how do i remove the /lib directory? [02:26] williammanda: er, the reason i recommend it is wine is usually much faster and easier to get running than a virtual machine [02:26] but it seemed limited before [02:26] hahahaha pikario: rm -rf /lib [02:26] pikario>> that would be a mistake [02:26] williammanda: it is :P [02:26] k ty [02:26] pikario: DONT! [02:26] cocoabean: I can't access the drive: cannot mount, cannot install GRUB from Live CD. [02:26] omg [02:26] ? [02:26] ltgg have you tried forcing the mount [02:26] pikario, why do you want to? [02:26] pikario: your computer NEEDS that! [02:27] ysangkok>> bad advice man [02:27] it's USING it! [02:27] because i don't like it [02:27] i want to get rid of it and rename it [02:27] pikario, dare we ask why you wish to do such a weird thing? [02:27] eseven73: he asked how! it wasnt advice it was fact [02:27] Pikario: if you want to, rm -r /lib. [02:27] But if you screw up your computer, too bad. [02:27] thats one way to need to reinstall your OS i guess... === kovacs is now known as xp [02:28] pikario: "i don't like it" isn't a reason to remove essential files [02:28] haha [02:28] pikario: learn to live with it. im sure you have bigger problems than some directory in / [02:28] * Dr_willis_ sences a troll. :) [02:28] it just confuses me there's too many libs [02:28] pikario, and why are you even worried about it? [02:28] there's a /usr/lib and a /var/lib and a /lib, i'd rather just get rid of them and name them something more familiar [02:28] Dr_willis_>> i do too [02:28] it's confusing [02:28] pikaro [02:29] its not confusing to your computer [02:29] pikario, and why does it matter? Whats to be confused bout? why are you even messing with those dirs anyway. [02:29] actually there is a distributiion that uses different names for /usr and stuff i think [02:29] there are two different libs for a reason [02:29] raylu I can use the latest wine from the ubunut rep's? [02:29] Ok. ln -s /prettyname /lib [02:29] williammanda: of course [02:29] simpleos: you have that backwards [02:29] whoops! [02:29] you sucks [02:29] ok thx [02:29] pikaro, you know ubuntu is open source [02:30] you coulr take the code and rewrite it [02:30] make a lib-free version [02:30] * Dr_willis_ predicts a reinstall of the OS in the future for some Users in the channel... :) [02:30] i could go through the source and find-replace every instance of /lib and replace it with /star? [02:30] hhah [02:30] How would I stream my webcam in Xubuntu? I can't use VLC, it doesn't detect it. [02:30] pikaro, make a module redirecting all i/o from /lib to /pretty [02:30] yes pikaro. infact [02:31] you can replace anything you like [02:31] iShock: is your webcam v4l 1 or 2? [02:31] in the code [02:31] pikario: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html explains the differences [02:31] i dont garuntee it would work... [02:31] linux for human beings [02:31] ysangkok: I don't know .. :( [02:31] not linux for obscure-named directories [02:31] yes while youre at it, you could rename "usr" to "user" [02:31] iShock: how do you access it? does "cheese" work? mplayer? [02:31] pikario: They're not obscure if you know the history/reasons behind them. [02:31] and all the commands [02:31] pikario, sure whatever.. [02:31] pikario: they're not obscure. \windows\system32 is obscure [02:31] ysangkok: Cheese works. [02:31] rm could actually be remove [02:32] pikario>> look in C:\ plenty of "obscure-named directories' there too [02:32] and cd could be change directory [02:32] does sudo stand for super-user do? [02:32] pikario: you can always write a kernel module that intercepts all filesystem requests and redirects all the lib requests to whereever you want them to go... [02:32] Greetins [02:32] sudo is a kind of judpo [02:32] iShock it is probably v4l2 then. i have a v4l 1 webcam that only works in gqcam and mplayer [02:32] judo* [02:32] pikario: yes. [02:32] normloman, and voodoo :) [02:32] hahahaha [02:32] iShock: what webcam model do you have [02:32] ok now my keyboard and mouse won't work in the VMware image of Ubuntu I created :( [02:32] anybody had issues getting a supreme fx 2 sound card to work? [02:33] !mouse [02:33] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [02:33] Cocoabean: Er.. Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 [02:33] I have a problem that I laid out in #ubuntu-bugs and was directed to come here to ask for help . .. [02:33] iShock: does "mplayer -tv driver=v4l tv://" work? [02:33] the thing don't even show up in lspci [02:33] iShock: Oh, ive been trying to get my webcam working for ages, different one though, thought id see anyways [02:33] len, whats up? [02:34] winkey_: are there unidentified devices? could you pastebin your lspci? [02:34] winkey_: also, lshw may help [02:34] I have a problem that I am hoping to get some direction on [02:34] I loaded 8.10 on my daughters older computer, dual boot with Win98 SP2 [02:34] Booting into Ubuntu is not a problem, but when she uses Pidgen, Pidgen fails [02:34] She can chat a couple of times (Yahoo Messenger), and then the program simply locks up [02:34] Has anyone else experienced the same thing? [02:34] Len_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:34] Oh, wow, ok . . . [02:34] ysangkok: Not really. [02:34] V: 3.5 89/ 89 1% 2% 0.0% 0 0 [02:34] ioctl mcapture failed: Invalid argument [02:34] raylu allright give me a few [02:34] iShock: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:34] ive never tried that, but just as a guess [02:35] what if you uninstalled pidgin, then tried to recomile it from source [02:35] although i realize thats a pain in the but [02:35] Len_: pidgin fails randomly :P. you could try moving the .purple directory and starting over. you could also try running pidgin in a terminal and seeing if it outputs anything [02:35] !who | normloman [02:35] normloman: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:35] Well, I'm not really familiar with nay Linux OS, yet [02:35] Len_: there's a newer version about to enter the jaunty repository [02:35] moving the .purple directory? [02:35] iShock, if you use v4l2 instead of "v4l" in the mplayer command? does it work more or less? [02:35] Len_: mv ~/.purple ~/.purple-backup [02:36] I have a macbook pro. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro3-1/Intrepid says that backlight buttons (f1 and f2) should work. They don't. Does anyone know what is supposed to make them work and how I could fix them? [02:36] ysangkok: Way worse. Doesn't even open. [02:36] crimsun, I should be able to simply update PIdgen when the new version comes out? [02:36] Aji-Daha1a: no, but xev may help. run it in a terminal and press f1/f2 and see if any events are generated [02:36] Thanks raylu. What does the .purple diretory do? [02:36] Aji-Daha1a: if no, the problem is with your X keyboard configuration [02:37] Len_: it's the directory that stores all the users' pidgin configuration data [02:37] Len_: pidgin is really just a frontend to libprple [02:37] Len_: *libpurple [02:37] raylu: yup, sending keycode 232 and 233 [02:37] ysangkok: Ping. [02:37] Aji-Daha1a: ok, then the issue is somewhere...else... [02:37] Ok, thank you raylu. Once I move that, do I just reopen Pidgen? [02:37] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/226894 looks promising. *looks* [02:37] Len_: yes [02:37] raylu, last time I wrote "just a front end" my code was three times larger than my library [02:38] sirstan: did it have a gui? [02:38] raylu, the library no -- the front end was gui :) [02:38] sirstan: then it was more than "Just a front end" [02:38] iShock okay then i think it is v4l then . :P i know its clumsy way of determinating buts that what i did [02:38] sirstan: it was additionally a pain in the...somewhere [02:38] what is the system requirements for the latest version of ubuntu [02:38] Sounds simple enough. I've listened to several Linux podcasts, and when her W98 OS started crashing every 15 seconds, I thought I'd give it a try. I'll give the .purple move a try, and see what happens. Thanks to everyone, have a safe New Year celebration [02:38] ysangkok: Seems to be, but the errors still remain. [02:39] lgb: p2, 256mb ram, 5gb hd? [02:39] ysangkok: ioctl mcapture failed: Invalid argument [02:39] V: 3.2 81/ 81 0% 0% 0.0% 0 0 [02:39] iShock: i got it to work by tweaking the codec (vc). see http://brainwagon.org/2007/01/16/viewing-a-v4l-webcam-with-mplayer/ [02:39] (Now that I know this place is here, I'm sure I'll be here often LOL) [02:39] hey [02:39] ysangkok: Still doesn't work. [02:39] lgb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [02:39] @sirstan: 5gb for system files or 5gb recommended in general? [02:40] lgb, full 8.10 install eats 4.7gb of space. [02:40] ah, I see [02:40] iShock: on the man page you can see some codecs that you can try. i dont have access to webcam now so i dont remember what worked. it was very obscure anyway and i had to try lots of stuff. my webcam only worked well with gqcam. mplayer was suboptimal [02:40] swap space is a bit big [02:40] lgb: realistically .. a p2-400, 256mb ram, 20gb hd. [02:40] !xubuntu | lgb [02:40] lgb: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [02:41] I have just that, as the only personal computer I have to my name is that one [02:41] ysangkok: I can play it in cheese, but I want to stream it to my other box so other people can see it. [02:41] does xubuntu require less of things? [02:41] lgb, yea . it uses xfce instead of gnome for display. [02:41] ysangkok: s/play/view/ === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [02:41] lgb, its ubuntu with less memory sucking bling. [02:42] cool [02:42] iShock: yes your webcam is more compatible than my. mplayer works with most stuff (with the right parameters) so some parameters ought to work [02:42] lgb, are you in the USA? [02:42] ysangkok: So cheese cannot stream it? [02:42] iShock: cheese uses gstreamer so other gstreamer applications ought to work as well [02:42] iShock: i do not think cheese includes a steamer. but cheese uses v4l so other applications ought to access it too [02:43] iShock: *stream [02:43] yay! I found another bug in ubuntu! [02:43] yes [02:43] is there an exact list of system req. for xubuntu? [02:43] http://www.xubuntu.org/get [02:43] lgb: did you see the link i gave you? [02:43] 192mb ram, 1.5gb hd [02:44] probably still a P2 requirement (mmx cpu) [02:44] ysangkok: Got any other way to stream it besides crying over this? [02:44] sure [02:44] want a p2-900? :) [02:44] I did [02:44] kinda [02:44] it would be better if it were a pentium III though [02:44] i think it is. [02:44] installing on an encrypted volume, LVM, on dual boot system, when defining /boot partition grub is setup to boot off hd0,0 instead of hd0,1 and kernel for /boot/$kernel_version instead of /$kernel_version [02:45] maybe I'll just forget about this [02:45] lgb, give me a fedex/ups label as a pdf and ill mail you the mobo/cpu/video card [02:45] for free? [02:45] you think i can sell a p3-900 mobo? [02:45] nah, I think I'm going too far in over my head anyway [02:45] lol. [02:46] raylu http://rafb.net/p/AJtOP338.html [02:46] sirstan your giving aways stuff for free? [02:46] !ot [02:46] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:46] iShock: check dmesg for errors. have you tried googling the cam for commands? is the webcam driver a gspca driver? [02:46] how do i make a new window on GNU Screen? [02:47] it is new years eve just relax jeez [02:47] anyway off to church chao [02:47] ysangkok: I think so. [02:47] What the heck does this mean anyone? ioctl mcapture failed: Invalid argument [02:47] iShock: it means that mplayer is using the wrong parameters for accessing the webcam [02:47] sambagirl: msgd to avoid the ops [02:47] ysangkok: What wrong params? [02:48] winkey_: it's an asus card, right? [02:48] raylu yea [02:48] Uplink: screen [02:48] raylu: and then? [02:48] Uplink: or did you want ctrl+a n [02:48] ohhh ctrl! i thought it was alt [02:48] Uplink: oh, sorry. ctrl+a c [02:48] iShock: its just the arguments (options) that you passed to mplayer on the command line [02:49] iShock: if mplayer works mencoder ought to work too [02:49] iShock: and mencoder can stream [02:49] Uplink: ctrl+a-n and ctrl+a-p are next and previous [02:50] raylu: im a bit confused... im holding ctrl+a and n [02:50] how can i tell if im in screen? and what window im in [02:50] iShock: see the man page http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html i got it to work by trying different values in the "outfmt" field [02:51] Uplink: the - means "and then", not "with" [02:51] Uplink: so press "ctrl+a" first, then "c" [02:51] ysangkok: What commands should I use for mencoder? [02:51] raylu: ok ty ^^ [02:51] iShock: if you use -tv outfmt=help you will get a list of outfmt's [02:51] winkey_: PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation Device 05b1 [02:51] winkey_: er, oops [02:51] winkey_: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh [02:51] winkey_: run that, please [02:51] iShock: the command for mencoder is nearly the same as for mplayer [02:51] winkey_: wait... http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh [02:51] iShock: but only try to stream once you have playback working in mplayer [02:52] Uplink: and as far as whether or not you're in screen, ctrl+a-d will get you out [02:53] ysangkok: What would you suggest? [02:53] iShock: try different values in the outfmt field [02:54] iShock: also try different height and widths, like 640x480 and 320x240 [02:55] btw my xorg problem turned out to be xgl not liking xinerama over 3 monitors in 8.10, temporarily solved by disabling xgl. cheers for the help [02:56] ysangkok: MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: video_read_frame [02:56] raylu http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=2fc9602aa896cd2948d4af5f01a9d7be82699a59 [02:56] - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM. [02:56] winkey_: wow. i have no idea then [02:57] ok... onetinsoldier: atm i`m on my server, i plugged it directly into my modem [02:57] raylu if it don't show up in lspci couldn't we assume the thing is off or disabled somehow? [02:57] iShock: make sure you have the newest mplayer. i had crashes too but i found the parameters to get it working with no crashing. [02:57] Anyone got a fix for this? [02:57] ioctl mcapture failed: Invalid argument [02:58] onetinsoldier: so it`s an issue with routing between my router and modem - only for my server.. which is really odd [02:58] iShock: you can try to build mplayer from source with debug flags. you can make backtrace and see if its a mplayer bug [02:58] anyone use the nokia internet tablet 800 or newer? [02:58] winkey_: have you tried another OS on this machin? [02:58] mordof: oh, roger! [02:58] winkey_: *machine?

[02:59] iShock: if you have the newest kernel theres probably not more you can do about the dmesg's [03:00] raylu not me personally, over at a neighbors, he said it worked on win [03:00] iShock: but as i said, i got it working even though it crashed with some parameters. try changing width and height. [03:00] iShock goodnight [03:00] mordof: thank you for letting me know. :-) [03:01] onetinsoldier: np [03:01] If I have two NIC eth1 one connected to the modem and eth2 connected to the router, do I just need to bridge them to get connectivity or would I need to setup a dhcp server as well?

[03:50] lumpycam, tried all three under "Native" - all the same [03:50] onetinsoldier, yes, it's in full screen [03:51] keanu: ok, now, it looks win98'ish due to what myconid said. so how that menu bar looks will depend on what window manager you are using [03:51] bazhang, actually i have an issue related to squashfs: i have done a customized livecd, but it breaks after initramsfs. basically casper.log says it cannot mount the squashfs file as a loopback device because of an "invalid argument". it's interesting to know that i can mount it manually from the remastered os, but not from within busybox, as i said === bitFish is now known as Bitfish [03:51] i have an avi file that plays on VLC, but no sound. after last time (MP3 issue that was easily solved by converting to a free format), i thought I'd try that first, but now I just have an ogv file with no sound. i'm sure this is an ubuntu issue, as i'm confident this file plays on others' computers. [03:51] Flannel no such luck [03:52] csc_, why would you want squashfs [03:52] keanu: keanu, it uses the window manager UI elements. myconid it looks different under gnome/kde/xfce [03:52] GodfatherofEire: Are you holding left-alt? [03:52] sheena1, does your computer play other sounds? [03:52] getting "problem with audio playback" skype error, and "could not open ... [03:52] sheena1, install w32codecs yet? [03:53] yep. only problem before was playing mp3s. It plays AVIs that i've downloaded off my camera, and youtube, and OGG music, and dvds (both from the dvd and from my computer) [03:53] sheena1, add to your question "I've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras" so people dont ask if you've got the codecs installed [03:53] csc_, are you doing this manually or with one of the tools provided [03:53] sorry earth. thanks for the tip [03:53] bazhang, because the fs is compressed [03:53] bazhang, i am using remastersys [03:54] Np, just trying to keep you from having to answer the same question 100 times sheena1 :P [03:54] csc_, well using the uck I had zero problems, you may wish to repeat every five-ten minutes, and post on ubuntuforums while you wait for an answer [03:54] !ping [03:54] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [03:54] bazhang, it worked at first: i installed 8.10, i customized my desktop, i remsterized it with remastersys. OK. then i installed back to hd, i modified the os again, i tried to remaster it again , but i encountered that problem: it cannot mount the squashfs [03:54] Flannel: Still nothin [03:55] sheena1, you went to medibuntu and installed the package? [03:55] i used add/remove [03:55] i did it some time ago, maybe a few months [03:55] bazhang, but can uck remaster the os on the cd with _all_ the changes? [03:55] sheena1, medibuntu is not in add/remove [03:55] oh [03:55] what is that? .. sorry [03:55] !medibuntu > sheena1 [03:55] sheena1, please see my private message [03:56] hanasaki ohiyo [03:56] does anyone know what to put a bug against when the current dist is not in the meta-release file? [03:56] csc_, best to do it all in one go, sounds like your second round of remastering is catching you out [03:56] I am having troubles installing 8.10. I have gotten to the point where it sets up the partitions. I select use whole HDD and then, after a few seconds it reboots and the CD kicks at the menu again. [03:56] bazhang, basically i want to be able to remaster and install on a device **recursevely** without loosing the changes.. is it possible with uck ? [03:56] Hey guys, in order to access a samba share from my Ubuntu machine in the terminal, do I have to mount it? [03:56] onetinsoldier, I'm using gnome - is it possible i'm missing a library or something? [03:57] okay. i found the site. umm.. what do i need to do? do i need to get each one individually? [03:57] csc_, you basically want a persistent live cd? [03:57] csc_ take your cd out of the drive man :D [03:57] sheena1, whom are you addressing? put their nick in your question [03:57] bazhang, yes, but why the second round is it different from the first one? basically the second time could not mount the squashfs , while the first time it could [03:57] Anyone got a minute for a problem I encountered after using wubi installer? [03:58] keanu: hmmm, now that is interesting. using any custom theme or anything? are you in compiz? or metacity? i doubt your missing a lib [03:58] csc_ after you've installed from the cd, remove it and put it in another room. Then reboot the machine [03:58] bazhang, sorry. there's a guide on the site, i'm working through that now [03:58] onetinsoldier, custom theme, no compiz (or very little) as far as i know [03:59] Is there a way to access samba shares from the terminal? (without mounting them?) [03:59] Hello, I was wondering if someone can help me with my Video Card, When it is installed, Ubuntu wont boot (Clean Unstall) - The card is the EVGA 9400 GT - It hangs on the boot screen [03:59] Am I csc_ ? [03:59] keanu: it's the theme, is my guess. like onetinsoldier mentioned. [03:59] myerkx have you tried using EnvyNG? [03:59] Hi guys, is there a way to sniff hub traffic using netstat? I want find out number of connections all users have open [03:59] lumpycam, k, thanks [03:59] bazhang, not exactly. i do not want a persistent live cd.. i want a livecd that can install itself on an hd (without persistent modifications, as the cd wirtes everything in memory). ok. FURTHERMORE i want to be able to remaster the hd and all its modification back to the a livecd again. remasterys could do that the first "round", but not the second, because of a damn mounting problem with squashfs [04:00] keanu: could be the custom theme... might have changed the window decorator. i'm not sure. and i'm not sure how high of visual settings you'd need for compiz, but i wouldn't think that would matter. yes, the theme is my guess too [04:00] Where can I get telephone software for my Intrepid?

[04:01] sheena1, dont enable the repos. just dl the two packages [04:01] onetinsoldier, i was having issues with AVI file not playing sound. i had the ubuntu-restricted thing already, but when i went to get medibuntu, now it works :) [04:01] lumpycam: thanks, but that shows connection on that box only, I am trying to sniff traffic [04:02] bashang, uhhhh... too late? :D am i totally scr*wed now?

[04:06] lumpycam: i used adobe with windows before switching to foxit. i was very unhappy with it then. also, i'm running Hardy. perhaps adobe runs better on linux. i remember it being pathetically slow on my win2K computer [04:06] good night [04:06] happy new year === Charitwo is now known as o_q [04:07] Does anybody here have any experience with Deluge? [04:07] !mouse [04:07] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [04:07] sheena1: i think i installed it manually, xpdf works ok too === o_q is now known as Charitwo [04:08] Just switched over to it from an emulated uTorrent (it was going wonky), but I can't find a grand total for the amount uploaded and downloaded, and was wondering if anybody knew a way to add it. [04:08] bazhang, when you used uck to remaster your os, were you able to install the new livecd on an hd , as the original ubuntu? [04:08] csc_, well, if by original you mean heavily modified, then yes [04:08] lumpycam: evince came with my distribution, and i really like it. Not super powerful, but fast as can be and allows a "slideshow" mode. === maco_ is now known as maco [04:09] bazhang, have you also tried dru? [04:09] csc_, not yet no [04:09] Does anybody know how to make Nautilus display the file tree thing on the left hand side for every nautilus window that is opened (ie default) [04:10] i've set the wrong refresh rate, and now i can't get my display to show my desktop. how can i change it back from a tty? [04:10] i know displayconfig is no longer preset, which is a shame. anything else? [04:10] eightyeight: what version of ubuntu? [04:10] 8.10 [04:10] off to watch my AVI file now.. happy new year, everyone and thanks so much for all you do! [04:10] sheena1: search for adobereader-enu in synaptic [04:11] lumpycam: wheres' synaptic? [04:11] how do i exec something so someone in msg can see the outputÉ [04:11] eightyeight: 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 5) sudo invoke-rc.d stop (for example --> invoke-rc.d gdm stop <-- this will shut down x-windows completely) [04:11] lumpycam: found it! [04:11] eightyeight: 6) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in your users home directory) 7) make a backup of your old xorg.conf file first if you wish --> sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old [04:11] 8) sudo cp -v /home/your_user_name/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:11] nevermind [04:11] sheena1: system - admin - synaptic package manager, or use aptitude or apt-get [04:11] mordof what client are you using? with irssi you do /exec -o COMMAND [04:12] earthmeLon: irssi :) [04:12] eightyeight: i'm leaving for now. be back in 20 or less... good luck and happy new year! [04:12] mordof: /exec -o command [caution] [04:12] onetinsoldier: there is no xorg.conf in ~ [04:13] mordof: be in that particular window, irssi may be tricky in msgs [04:13] eightyeight: did you run Xorg -configure ? [04:13] onetinsoldier: yeah [04:13] eightyeight: check /root [04:13] eightyeight: you should get a message, a response, when you run Xorg -configure [04:13] onetinsoldier: not there either [04:14] lumpycam: it isnt there. that means i didnt download it accidentally? [04:14] eightyeight: make sure you have shut X down completley [04:14] eightyeight: you should! get a message, a response, when you run Xorg -configure [04:14] onetinsoldier: Xorg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/org/modules/drivers//vga_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86GetPciVideoInfo [04:14] onetinsoldier: X is down [04:14] sheena1: are all the repositories enabled? [04:14] eightyeight: sorry, that's bad news.. i can't help with that right now. [04:15] !ubottu [04:15] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:15] onetinsoldier: k. thx [04:15] eightyeight: ok, sorry [04:15] good luck [04:15] lumpycam: i haven't the slightest idea. i just did what the website told me to do re: sudo commands, and now my movie works :) [04:15] hi guys i just did a sucessful ibex install but now i need internet...however i need interenet...i connect to my wifi through a little usb thing but i think it needs a driver which i have on a cd...how do i install this in ubuntu? [04:15] lumpycam: then it said something about "If you don't want "all this junk", do this", but I'm afraid that the part i need for my movie might be in the "all this junk" stuff.. [04:15] Does anybody know how to make Nautilus display the file tree thing on the left hand side for every nautilus window that is opened (ie default) [04:16] Jimi_Hendrix, what brand and whatnot are you using? [04:16] lumpycam: but my pdfs are still opening with the original software (came with ubuntu), so i guess i'm okay :) [04:16] sheena1: i may have grabbed adobe here, but i do show it as a package in synaptic. http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ get the linux .deb file [04:16] earthmeLon, f9 [04:16] bazhang, last question. by reading on the uck webpage, it is not very clear what uck can do exactly: can it build a livecd which behaves as exact copy of my actual running os: that is, including scripts in /etc/ that i have made by myself, autologin with my actual user on X, my home dir, etc.. [04:17] thanks. i gotta run, but i'll come back if i need anything. thanks to everyone! [04:17] sheena1: use prefered applications maybe [04:17] can anyone help me with a gnome issue? i've set the wrong refresh rate, and now i can't get to my desktop. Xorg is running, as i can login to gdm [04:17] Compiz uses F9 joeb3_ v_v [04:17] Lexda, dynex wireless N [04:17] my monitor is saying "Out Of Range" [04:17] i need to do this from a tty. anyone? [04:18] earthmeLon, view, sidepane. It stays on when I open new windows. [04:18] vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:18] Jimi_Hendrix, give me a min. I just did this on my setup, and need to remember how I did it, heh (unless someone else can comment before I do). [04:18] 88 give me a min and ill help [04:18] hello all [04:18] hello all [04:19] eightyeight: are refresh rates in a section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if so set them to manufacturer specs. [04:19] HAHA, joeb3_ I looked through my "View" menu and they were all checked. Seems that I made it so small i couldnt tell it was there. Thanks bro D: [04:19] Lexda, in windows it said i would need a drive...asked for the CD i poped it in and BAM! it worked [04:19] lumpycam: looking [04:19] Hi [04:20] ok, so i`ve got my server back with internet. attempting to share the internet again. client (win 2k) is set up with correct IP and gateway, along with dns. not sure how to get my server to share the internet (will myserver lose internet if i do this?) === jscinoz_ is now known as jscinoz [04:20] Jimi_Hendrix, try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/ndiswrapper.html [04:20] ubuntu 8.10 for life [04:20] lumpycam can't ubuntu run without xorg.conf in 8.10? if so just rename it and restart x to see what happens [04:20] no [04:20] Anybody know of a program that can grab key/mouse button ids? (Not imwheel, cause that only works for wheel spinning) [04:21] I read ubuntu 8.10 can run without it. [04:21] ghost3: yes it can without it, i've upgraded versions since ubuntu came out and it still uses it. [04:21] yaa [04:21] but as a quick fix he could rename instead of removing it. [04:21] Lexda, i DONT have internet ATM on that computer without the wifi [04:21] ghost3: intrepid commented out stuff but refresh rates remain intact. [04:22] then restart x [04:22] oh...thinking... [04:22] Ah. [04:22] That makes things fun. [04:22] Pretty much the only solution I could find is to use a temporary wired connection. [04:23] I had to lug my tower to an ethernet connection temporarily. [04:23] (6) [04:23] !keys [04:23] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [04:23] is there a way to use apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit? [04:23] ok, uck is not what i need [04:24] Theoretically there would be a way to download that file on your current comp and install it manually through a flash drive or something, but unfortunately, I'm relatively newbish to Ubuntu and don't know how. [04:24] Lexda, do they make .debs for the things it asks me to install [04:24] it only modifies the iso, it starts from an iso [04:24] Aji-Daha1a: i do not think you can do that, but i'll stand corrected. [04:24] i need an application which can build a livecd starting from the installed OS [04:24] lumpycam: kk [04:25] I'm not aware of any. [04:25] Lexda, i can do it...its what they made USB's for! [04:25] It's something called Windows Wireless Drivers. [04:25] GodfatherofEire2: this is probably old news but checkout man xmodmap [04:25] hey guys, does anyone know if rc.local is executed before gdm starts? [04:25] lumpycam: well, here's the thing. i can start X fine, without an xorg.conf. but when getting into my desktop, is when i can display that mode [04:25] can someone help get a texas instruments 5-in-1 card reader working? [04:26] lumpycam: so, i believe this to be a gnome setting, as i changed it in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution, and turned the refresh rate up fram 60 to 75 [04:26] Jimi_Hendrix, try this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008778 [04:26] Lexda, i think i got it...USB's FTW [04:26] eightyeight: just don't set beyond capabilities, but it shouldn't let you. g'luck [04:26] eightyeight hmm... could you log into a diffrant account? refresh rate in hidden folder in your home dir? [04:27] I have a mac running Ubuntu, how do I right click? [04:27] untermensch, buy a mouse with 2 buttons? lol [04:27] ghost3: looking in ~/.gnome2 but not seeing anything. a gconf entry maybe? [04:27] Heh.

[04:28] untermensch: try f12, it uses to work [04:28] untermensch, idk...i hate macs and never owned one [04:29] jimi_hendrix: hehe, it's for someone else actually. I hate them too. [04:29] lol [04:29] lumpycam: it's not f12 [04:29] for example...1 mouse button [04:29] Does it even have a right click button, or is it one of those monobar things? [04:29] Lexda: stupid monobar [04:29] Mighty Mouse ftw! [04:30] Heh. If it's a monobar, well, not sure if it has a right click functionality. [04:30] o wow, tat's stupid [04:30] mighty mouse is supposed to have 2 button emulaton [04:30] Later MMs have 2 button emulation. [04:30] cause it's touch sensative [04:30] I see [04:30] As well as a crapload of other actions that get really bloody annoying until you turn them off. [04:30] I'm not a mac guy btw [04:31] heh [04:31] Lexda: yes i'm noticing. [04:31] untermensch: fn+f2 i dunno [04:31] untermensch, what happens if you hold ctrl and click? [04:32] Lexda: i was just about to try that ;P [04:32] Lexda: she found the game section... This could take a while. [04:33] The Add/Remove thing? Heh. [04:33] I had lotsa fun with that one... [04:33] hoho [04:33] happy new year! [04:33] I'm a fan of Konquest and 20,000 Lightyears into Space, personally. [04:33] eightyeight ok there is a setting in gconf /app/compiz/general/screen0/options/refresh_rate don't ask me where this is on the file system im not sure. [04:33] Both more puzzle games than action or anything, and both can get incredibly annoying... [04:33] 20000 lightyears into space [04:34] Does the printer configuration app only check credentials in local files when it asks for your password when you create a new printer? [04:34] do i have to do anything special when building ndiswrapper from source? [04:34] wait is there a .deb for ndiswrapper? [04:34] jimi_hendrix: probably [04:34] Where can I get telephone software for my Intrepid? I'm not looking for a sip phone, I want a regular telephone where I can dial out from my pc modem please? [04:35] ghost3: i think i found it [04:35] I have the driver, I'd like the telephone software please so that I can use a telephone on my pc. Not a sip phone [04:35] my fingers are crossed [04:35] ghost3: ~/.config/monitors.xml [04:35] untermensch, did it work yet? [04:35] ghost3: 75 [04:35] ghost3: changed to 60, and i'm at my desktop [04:35] ;) [04:36] <\slash> ubuntu rox! [04:36] Lexda: no. :( [04:36] I think I might be onto something, give me a min... [04:37] oii [04:37] Lexda: awesome :) [04:37] hii [04:38] untermensch, try this: http://www.viraj.org/b2evolution/blogs/index.php/2006/08/20/ubuntu_on_my_powerbook (Obstacle #3) [04:39] untermensch: you have a touchpad? tap twice [04:39] Thought tapping twice was just the equivalent of a doubleclick? [04:40] Yes it is :) [04:40] hi my wireless network doesnt help can anyone please help me [04:40] idea4good, please explain more. [04:40] idea4good: it's still broken? [04:41] tapping twice on a touchpad right now would be incredibly difficult [04:41] (For what it's worth, wireless networks can be a real pain in the ass to set up in 8.10 even...I really hope that's something they improve upon in future versions...) [04:41] Lexda: what is hard about it exactly? [04:41] i am using 7.10 intel pro wireless 3945 abg [04:42] Lexda: please do watch your lanuage in here. Believe it or not, we do get younger people in here. [04:42] Gnea, my apologies. Won't happen again. [04:43] ok the problem is my wireless is bein shown by network manager with good signal strenght [04:43] idea4good: why not 8.04 or 8.10? [04:43] 7.10 ? [04:43] maybe that was a typo [04:43] wow [04:43] Gnea : [04:43] anyway - continue [04:43] Cpudan80, just that they aren't plug 'n' play like in Windows. To get mine to work I had to do quite a bit of finegalling, and culminated in me having to hook it up to a wired connection to get the required stuff (Windows Wireless Drivers). [04:43] it was working ine efore [04:43] Lexda: oh your talking about the drivers -- yeah thats a pain [04:43] idea4good: do you have access to the router directly? [04:44] i just added a new wirless network [04:44] and hten it broke [04:44] Lexda: I thought you meant configuring the SSID and stuff [04:44] Oh. No, not at all, that was thankfully automatic. [04:44] new wireless is secured Yes i haave access ot router [04:44] Lexda, ok so i installed the driver [04:44] Anybody know how to grab the IDs of mouse buttons, cause I cant seem to get mine quite working right. [04:44] now do i hit configure network? [04:44] idea4good: have you tried resetting the router? [04:44] yes [04:44] Nope [04:45] That didn't do anything for me. [04:45] ok FYI when i do sudo dhclient wlan0 [04:45] idea4good: which router do you have? linksys? [04:45] Jimi_Hendrix, look at your system tray. [04:45] Lexda, ya [04:45] Your 'net connection thing. Click on it once. Does a Wireless connection appear? [04:46] it says no such device found . Also i have linksys WRT56GS v7 [04:46] Lexda, no [04:46] 1 sec [04:47] idea4good: could you please pastebin the output of the following commands: ip l and iwconfig [04:47] do we have a wireless branch irc channel i can go to get specified help? [04:47] eightyeight: hello, i'm back [04:48] sure [04:48] Ok, Jimi_Hendrix, when you go System > Administration > Windows Wireless Driver, what shows in the window? [04:48] jimi_hendrix: no, we handle that here [04:48] anyone running vmware wkstation 6.5? [04:48] Jindi: what's your problem with it? [04:48] bcmwlhigh6 \n Hardware present: Yes [04:49] I am running a VM from a USB drive and it's dog-slow. I know there is a vmx param which can alleviate this issues but I can't locate it anywhere [04:49] gnea: good news [04:49] Ok, Jimi_Hendrix, select it and hit "Remove Driver." [04:49] i was able to connect to my open network [04:49] Jindi: want to know a well-known secret? [04:49] Essentially, reinstall it. [04:50] For whatever reason I had to install mine twice. [04:50] idea4good: ah ok. :) [04:50] i was dumb in the sense i was looking for wrong interface instead of eth1 [04:50] Just for laughs try it and see if it works. [04:50] pls. don't tell me to run it on local hd [04:50] anyone use the Dvorak keyboard layout? <--- curious [04:50] but now i would like to use 2nd wireless [04:50] Lexda, how do i know if i have x64 [04:50] i think i do but im double checking [04:51] jimi_hendrix: uname -m [04:51] Jindi: but it's true! USB is sloooowww, especially virtualization. 2.0 *might* help, but it won't really be a viable solution until 3.0 is out there [04:51] is usb 3.0 in the works? [04:51] Lexda, still nothing [04:52] ghost3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_3.0 [04:52] you're gonna knock me in the teeth for saying this but I just moved from Ubu Intrepid from XP. While on XP i was able to run the VM from usb just fine. There has to be a way!

I am getting this strange issue with artifacts or god knows what they are called. sections of any text on my screen - be it firefox or a text doc or even this chat window is all skewed. If I move the window around it temporarily fixes it [04:56] CoUrPsE|DeAd: what application? [04:57] Gnea, Kingpin.exe [04:57] If i change the refresh rate it helps but only for a short while [04:57] gnea: ok thanks but how can i get if from add/remove app [04:57] CoUrPsE|DeAd: where'd you get it from?

(Not imwheel, cause that only works for wheel spinning) [05:05] i hope to solve problem this year i dont plan to enter new year with a bad wireless network [05:05] is there a fix for the January 19, 2038 linux bug? http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_Is_Not_Y2K_38_Compliant [05:05] that would be a bad start [05:05] for new year [05:06] ghost3: yes, x86-64 :) [05:06] ghost3, Cute.. but try in offtopic [05:06] Gnea: my network manager seems to stuck i try to kill sudo kill pid [05:06] ghost3: the core kernel bits were patched long ago. [05:06] it doesnt kills [05:06] cool, I was worried. [05:06] idea4good: why would you try to kill it? [05:06] ghost3, Ubuntu isnt like the Microsoft Zune [05:06] lol [05:07] lol [05:07] ok [05:07] well its stuck so i cant reconfigure [05:08] ok when i do iwlist scan i can see my new network which i want to connect [05:08] idea4good: do you think that killing it might trap invalid information in the database, thus causing it to work even worse next time? [05:08] in cell 01 [05:09] well i have not much info about [05:09] hey!! [05:09] so gyuidance from would be appreciated [05:09] root, Not a good idea to surf the web as root user === root is now known as Guest63949 [05:10] i know.. i just need help quick.. if i can?

[05:11] darkhamm, ciao [05:12] c/SSL common/SSL certificate common [05:12] Guest63949: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:12] Gnea, that does almost nothing in intrepid [05:12] idea4good: i'm not sure what to suggest... is your wireless card builtin? [05:12] yes [05:13] idea4good: can you turn it on/off from a switch or the keyboard? [05:13] yes [05:14] Anybody know of a program that can grab mouse button ids? (Not imwheel, cause that only works for wheel spinning) [05:14] hey guys I have a problem with my bluetooth settings; at the moment i've been trying to connect to my Wii remote but I can't do a hcitool scan [05:14] does anyone know why this may be? [05:14] anyone know why i dont have a wifi button on my taskbar? i dont see anything for wifi? [05:14] Jack_Sparrow: can you put my Xorg -configure instructions into ubottu? are you all-powerful? hehe [05:14] my wifi sign is blinking continously [05:14] onetinsoldier, you dont want me near your xorg tonight [05:15] onetinsoldier, what are you trying to do? [05:15] he's drunk [05:15] is there a MAC OSX type wifi tray icon for gnome?? [05:15] Jack_Sparrow: lol. made me laugh. :-) [05:15] not drunk. just exhausted [05:15] Hi all. I have small problems with my WLAN under Ubuntu Intrepid. Sometimes, maybe once an hour, it fails for about one minute. I cannot send any traffic successfully then. Dmesg is then writing about 10 or 20 entries like this until it works again: [ 1495.716713] TKIP: RX tkey->key_idx=1 frame keyidx=2 priv=f0fbe9c0 [05:15] oh [05:15] Is it a bad idea to set pulse to -20 nice? I get skipping in recordings... [05:15] i dont know who helped me ... caus its text everywhere.. and i donno how to scroll in this, but the dpkg-reconfigure dint gave me anything abt any resolution settings.. just kb and mouse n stuff [05:15] Is someone familiar with this issue ? [05:15] kantxx, cairo-dock osx theme [05:15] does anyone know how to add this package to apt? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/telepathy-sharp/0.13.2~svn20070913-3 [05:15] Jack_Sparrow: i have instructions on how to reconfigure X. although, i think the may be a little long to go into ubottu [05:15] onetinsoldier, pm me the xorg info you want in a factoid [05:16] Jack_Sparrow: i just want a similar wirless manager [05:16] hey guys I have a problem with my bluetooth settings; at the moment i've been trying to connect to my Wii remote but I can't do a hcitool scan [05:16] jimmio, on first though yes, since sound is time critical [05:16] Jack_Sparrow: not a theme [05:16] I have Broadcom STA Wireless driver installed [05:16] Jack_Sparrow: roger, i'll do. it's too long though i think [05:16] Guest63949: Gnea was helping you [05:16] is Hcitool even available in the 8.10 distro? [05:17] how does one even /use/ a source deb? [05:17] kantxx: as I tried to tell you before you left earlier, there is already a wireless manager with ubuntu [05:17] nickrud: Hmm...? It's like missing audio data in the recording... driving me nuts, not to mention pulseaudio just crashed as I was running a game in Blender and exited... [05:17] Gnea: what is it?? [05:18] Gnea: just see the manual config one [05:18] ahhh! can anyone give me a good console irc... so i can scroll text and whatever [05:18] kantxx: are you familiar with the network manager icon on the upper-right on the desktop? [05:18] jimmio, I probably shouldn't even talk about pulseaudio, it makes the veins in my head pulse [05:18] Gnea: yes but it doesnt detect networks [05:18] Gnea: i have to manually enter the info [05:18] kantxx: if your wireless card is configured correctly, then detected networks will show up there when you click on it [05:19] Guest63949: you could try irssi, but i'm sure ircII has a way to scroll. try pageup or ctrl+f/ctrl+b [05:19] kantxx: try enabling the broadcast of your ssid [05:19] How do I create/renew ath0? I've got eeexubuntu and after a reboot, iwconfig shows only eth0 and lo, no ath0 or other wireless capable devices. [05:19] Gnea: its a broadcom bcm4311 and it works if i manually enter info [05:19] raylu didnt work.. lol [05:19] Tom_1223: sudo ifup ath0 [05:19] Guest63949: Kvirc is very good [05:19] Tom_1223: but that's probably not going to help you [05:20] can anyone tell me what this means? "hcid: error while loading shared libraries: libbluetooth.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [05:20] i get the same error for hcitools [05:20] k.. brb.. gonna try irssi [05:20] raylu: why not? [05:20] kantxx: don't know what to suggest then. [05:20] Tom_1223: oh, you already had it set up, nevermind. [05:20] Tom_1223: the issue could be that your modprobe.d isn't configured correctly [05:20] Gnea: .. [05:20] kantxx: i've tried doing it manually as well, and it sort of works, but really, it seems to just work right when the ssid is enabled to broadcast [05:21] this is more like it.. its even in color.. the irssi :P === root is now known as Guest61861 [05:21] Gnea: it is set to broadcast [05:21] kantxx: does it show up with an iwlist scan? [05:21] Gnea: yes [05:21] anyone avail to help with a video issue? [05:21] Gnea: the network manager doesnt even list any networks [05:21] !anyone | Jindi [05:21] Jindi: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:21] can anyone tell me what this means? "hcid: error while loading shared libraries: libbluetooth.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", I get the same error for hcitools. [05:22] raylu: sudo ifup ath0 failed with "Ignoring unknown interface ath0=ath0" [05:22] solid advice. thanks [05:22] mattycoze: try reinstalling libbluetooth [05:22] Tom_1223: when you set it up, did you have to mess with modprobe? [05:22] well.. guess i ask again.. sorry for bothering... but i couldnt scroll in the other irc client.. how can i configure my x server so it forces a resolution.. caus its prob too high.. caus i cant shee shit when i start x... [05:22] raylu what repo is it listed on; my synaptic can't; find it [05:22] Guest61861: pageup works in irssi, that i'm sure of [05:22] Guest61861>> irssi is cool, if you do the /set command you;ll see like a billion settings for it too and the '/lastlog ' is priceless :) [05:22] kantxx: how good is the quality? [05:22] raylu: yeah it did... [05:22] Gnea: fine.. [05:22] raylu, i remember having that once on an earlier distro like 7.10 [05:22] raylu: Nope. It worked out of the box, could scan wireless networks and connect easily enough. Used it a couple days ago, shut it down, started today and it's completely lost ath0. [05:23] kantxx: no, what *is* it? [05:23] so nobody knows how I might find out the ID for the mouse buttons [05:23] Gnea: 86/100 [05:23] hey guys im getting realllly crappy download speeds on linux... any ideas? [05:23] Anyone have experience with quake 3 version 1.16n? [05:23] mattycoze: libbluetooth3 is in the base repositories. http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/libbluetooth3 [05:23] !mouse [05:23] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [05:23] raylu thanks. [05:23] Gnea: the network manager just doesnt show wireless networks at all [05:23] Tom_1223: oh... that's strange [05:23] Gnea: i coulda sworn there was something for that [05:23] I am running an Nvidia Gforce 7900 with 256 MB with Dual display. I am also running the nvdia xserver settings. my problem is that i am getting lots of artifacts on my screen. text is partially unreadable, etc [05:24] kantxx: what about "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" (replace wlan0 with your wireless nic) [05:24] raylu: u know how i can force a res for the x server ? caus it wont show anything for me. its set to a res my screen cant handle [05:24] raylu apparently libbluetooth3 is already installed :? [05:24] raylu: you're telling me! [05:24] maco: the wireless card is fine [05:24] Guest61861: "xrandr -s 1024x768" or whatever resolution you want [05:24] Tom_1223: what card is i? [05:24] kantxx: so you can see the networks in the terminal but not in nm? [05:24] maco: network-manager just isnt SHOWING networks.. i can ADD them myself manually [05:24] Guest61861: you could try "X -configure" [05:25] mattycoze: ...that's why i told you to reinstall it [05:25] abnormally slow speeds? anyone? like 21kb/s slow... [05:25] mattycoze: sudo aptitude reinstall libbluetooth3 [05:25] maco: it doesnt show anything [05:25] raylu: Atheros 5700 wi-fi card. Standard with EEE PC 900 [05:25] How do I get the best quality rip(high bit rate) of a music CD when I use sound juicer? How do I change the bit rate?? [05:25] kantxx: can you see them in the terminal? [05:25] maco: i can add a profile [05:25] maco: yes [05:25] kantxx: do they by any chance have hidden ssids? [05:25] maco: he can do wifi from the commandline but the gui is all broken [05:25] maco: no [05:26] kantxx: which version of ubuntu? [05:26] Gnea: yes.. theres no wireless manager 8.10 [05:26] Gnea: network manager shows the card and lets me add the configs [05:26] kantxx: and, as I told you, it's built into NetworkManager [05:26] raylu: ok.. well it printed alot of text. sorry for being a pain.. but how do i scroll in console? caus the last couple of lines didnt make sense [05:26] raylu oh okay; well i've reinstalled it but the same issue presides. [05:26] kantxx: right click on the NM applet and hit "edit connections..." to get to what Gnea's talking about [05:26] reckon it's a bug?> [05:27] netapplet isnt installed [05:27] kantxx: its not called netapplet [05:27] and maco the xrandr said it couldnt open display [05:27] Tom_1223: lsmod | grep ath [05:27] Jindi: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please? [05:27] yesterday while i had an external HDD connected, and data being transferred without any problems there was a power failure. Since then whenever i connect the HDD the hotplugin(automount) point to the local HDD and when i try to manually mount /dev/sdb1 the prompt shows up I/O error, even though the disk is getting mounted perfectly on a mac machine. [05:27] Guest61861: oh you have to already be in X to do it [05:27] Guest61861: Shift+Page Up and Shift+Page down [05:27] Guest61861: shift+pageup [05:27] mattycoze: yes. the program was compiled against an older libbluetooth-dev that provides an older library. [05:27] Guest61861: it lets you change your running X settings [05:27] this is the error message that shows up when trying to mount using sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 external/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/97365/ [05:27] Does anyone know what could be the cause of really slow downloads? [05:27] allright. [05:27] mattycoze: the program needs to be compiled against the newer libbluetooth-dev. [05:27] when using sound juicer to rip a music CD, should VBR quality be set high or low? 10 or 0, which is better? [05:28] crimsun ahh; [05:28] kantxx: it's the little applet with 2 little computers in the notification area [05:28] is there no way to fix this problem..without going to windows? [05:28] Is the google app engine in the repos? [05:28] mattycoze: no idea. i'd consider purging both the app you're using and libbluetooth and installing again.. otherwise, i have no idea, sounds like a packaging error [05:28] maco: thats the one.. i go to the wireless tab and can add the ssid info manually.. just no listing of scanned networks [05:28] raylu: lsmod | grep ath returns nothing and iwconfig still returns only eth0 and lo [05:28] crimsun: the package should depend on a newer version [05:28] raylu: ok.. somethings wrong lol.. caus it doesnt scroll. lol. i think i got big problems :P [05:28] Tom_1223: sudo modprobe ath_pci [05:28] !networkmanager [05:28] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [05:28] crimsun how do i do that? [05:28] raylu: (correct, it is a packaging error due to when the source package was compiled) [05:28] Guest61861: i get the feeling you're doing it wron [05:28] g [05:29] Guest61861: did you changes tty's? [05:29] pidus: you can force it to mount, but it's possible you'll lose data because you didnt unmount it properly in windows [05:29] Is the google app engine in the repos? [05:29] Jack_Sparrow: you chilling around here? [05:29] raylu: sudo modprobe ath_pci returns: "FATAL: Module ath_pci not found." [05:29] hmmm [05:29] Guest61861: did you change tty's? move between any tty terminals before trying to scroll up and down? [05:29] raylu & crimsun (btw i'm no programmer, so i can't really do much other than pester the authors hehe) [05:29] onetinsoldier: im trying to scroll on the alt-3 page [05:29] so nobody knows how I might find out the ID for the mouse buttons [05:29] raylu: (i.e., libbluetooth2 was used at the time of compile instead of libbluetooth3; more than likely the former was removed due to the apparent abi & api bump) [05:29] maco: i tried doing that...but http://paste.ubuntu.com/97365/ is what it shows [05:29] GodfatherofEire: guess? [05:30] onetinsoldier: im kinda new to linux.. sorry [05:30] and why should i lose data if the same disk shows up perfectly on a mac...with all the folders showing perfectly [05:30] GodfatherofEire, Did you real the link on setting up mouse buttons? [05:30] Jack_Sparrow, yes, I did [05:30] Guest61861: scrolling up and down won't work if you switch, it loses the buffer on the tty. to scroll, you have to stay in the tty that has the pages you need [05:31] !pastebin [05:31] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:31] pidus: you should never ever just unplug a disk without cleanly unmounting it. there is always a chance that doing so will lose or corrupt some or all of the data. [05:31] I am about to do something explicitly forbidden here that will probably get me kicked like last time, or at very least yelled at. I am going to ask a windows-related question here, since the people in #windows seem to think they dont have to help anyone because its new years eve. [05:31] hmm [05:31] pidus: it's not guaranteed to happen, but it's a chance not worth taking [05:31] ill try reinstalling it [05:31] onetinsoldier: ok.. but now i tried the command again... and scroleld right after... still didnt scroll [05:31] Irreducibilis: please, don't be an idiot. [05:31] rather confused why it wont work :| [05:31] maco: i understand that...but it happened inadvertently [05:31] Guest61861: use 'pastebininit'.... sudo apt-get pastebinit [05:31] hi. Is there a simple guide on editing fstab anywhere? [05:32] Gnea: What choice do I have? I am desperate. [05:32] go for it Irreducibilis [05:32] !fstab | DefamedPrawn [05:32] DefamedPrawn: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:32] maco: but then what should i try to do? [05:32] Jack_Sparrow, heres the thing though, mine has the equivalent of 12 buttons under ubuntu standards, but I need the buttonmap so I dont royally screw somethin up under xserver [05:32] Irreducibilis: look, just PM me [05:32] okay. [05:32] onetinsoldier: woahh.-.. thanks [05:32] Guest61861: that will only work for files though, sorry, the pastebinit that is [05:32] Hey, does anyone know how to output Wine's console output straight to a file? [05:32] pidus: and that happens even after you use "-o force" in your mount command? [05:33] onetinsoldier: crap.. could just scroll through the apt-get thingey [05:33] Bladezor: ./notepad++.exe > output? [05:33] Tom_1223: you could try installing linux-backports-modules-intrepid [05:33] Tom_1223: that will give you the ath5k module. actually [05:33] Tom_1223: try "sudo modprobe ath5k" first [05:33] .... Does anyone know why linux would have a slow download (around 20kb/s) compared to windows (around 150kb/s) [05:33] onetinsoldier: isnt there a way i could configure my xorg.conf file to force a resolution? [05:33] GodfatherofEire, run xev in a terminal, then click each button with the pointer in the window. In the mass of scrolling data, you'll see the button numbers [05:33] maco: yup [05:33] Tom_1223: wait, nevermind. that won't do anything [05:34] raylu: ath5k not found. [05:34] Guest61861: er...can you write an xorg.conf by hand? because there is no xorg.conf anymore by default [05:34] raylu: If i recall correct, I should be on the atheros driver for the eeepc wireless card [05:34] nickrud, thanks [05:34] Tom_1223: so yeah, try installing linux-backports-modules [05:34] happy new year people [05:34] Guest61861: you welcome. you can redirect output into a file though... command > log_file_name 2>&1 ..to make output go to file [05:34] happy new year [05:34] Tom_1223: most netbooks require l-b-m [05:34] Tom_1223: if you have the AR242 or whatever its called, you def. do [05:34] maco: ok.. caus i have the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file... had it from install.. [05:34] Guest61861: and it's empty [05:35] WebcamWonder, thanks :) [05:35] Guest61861: what is the output of cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager ....? [05:35] Guest61861: unless this is a year-old install that you've been upgrading [05:35] I am having a small problem, if anyone cares to help [05:35] Bladezor: No problems [05:35] maco: no [05:35] !ask | xd4 [05:35] xd4: 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. :-) [05:35] how do you exit screen? [05:35] @ Crimsun https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/291051/ [05:35] i installed a file about 2 days ago, a script, autostart.sh [05:35] by mistake [05:35] maco: downloaded yesterday. installed today [05:36] how do you exit screen? [05:36] Guest61861: if it's 8.10 it's definitely blank [05:36] its purpose was to delay the startup of autostarted programs for 60 seconds [05:36] guess, i'll need to go by the really sloppy way of....looking for a windows/mac machine...copying the data on disk to that machine...and reformatting the disk..afresh [05:36] i deleted the script [05:36] xd4: where'd you get it? [05:36] Guest61861: what is the output of cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager ....? [05:36] but then, its still delayed [05:36] pidus: doesnt need a format [05:36] Guest61861: /usr/bin/gdm ...? [05:36] well... how bout if i just say hello and see if anyone says anything back [05:36] maco : i was trying to install dropbox [05:36] pidus: just needs checkdisk [05:36] maco : it was intended to delay dropbox startup [05:36] xd4: and that required delaying startup? er... [05:37] maco: umm ok.. [05:37] I've recently solved my wireless problems by following this thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=986072 [05:37] * dexi waits [05:37] dexi: ? [05:37] onetinsoldier: usr/sbin/gdm [05:37] maco : but i fond out that it caused delay of all startups [05:37] WebcamWonder: woah someone said something to me! :) [05:37] daedra: ctrl+a+d to detach screen, exit to exit. [05:37] dexi: How are you connected to the internet? [05:37] laptopuser, What card chipset are you usning [05:37] actuall I just realised I can simply detatch the screen [05:37] pidus: you know when you shut down windows wrong and it does that thing when it checks the whole disk to make sure nothing's lost? you just need to do that. [05:37] see thread #10 [05:37] lumpycam: yeah thanks [05:37] WebcamWonder: ethernet cable to DSL [05:37] Guest61861: ok, just to make sure it's shut down first.. do --> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [05:37] daedra: screen -r to re-attach [05:37] dexi: And are you using the same site to test the download speed? [05:37] raylu: Thanks. I will hook it up to cat5e when I get a chance and try the linux-backports-modules-intrepid. I'm just baffled as to how it could completely destroy it overnight. I updated my packages list etc, but I checked and madwifi is still installed. [05:37] maco: :-) yeah i know [05:38] maco: so how can i make startup return to normal [05:38] xd4: ok where'd you get the script? and what do you mean by installed it? [05:38] lumpycam: i'm being an idiot again [05:38] :p [05:38] Guest61861: that will make sure X is totally shut down, just in case it's not already [05:38] xd4: did you copy it somewhere, or was there an installer script or what? [05:38] WebcamWonder: its all-around slow downloads on linux... [05:38] laptopuser, I was just asking to help link info with the chipset. I dont feel like reading it to find out [05:38] maco: i laced it in the autostart folder in .donfig, then ran it [05:38] maco: but i thought, there's some way in linux as well, to fix it..without going to windows, i.e. linux equivalent of chkdisk or something [05:38] Guest61861: now do --> sudo Xorg -configure ...tell me the response you get from that [05:38] onetinsoldier: stopping gnome display manager... [05:38] pidus: we have fsck but it's for linux filesystems, not for windows ones [05:39] WebcamWonder: I didnt use a test site, i just took notice of low speed here [05:39] atheros [05:39] Is it safe to set pulseaudio's daemon.conf parameter realtime-scheduling to yes?... Realtime means no other programs have a time slice though, right? [05:39] Guest61861: ok, good [05:39] ty [05:39] maco: yes it was an installer script [05:39] xd4: can you give me a link? [05:39] xd4: i want to see what the installer script does [05:39] dexi: Try a test site. B/c there is no reason for it to be slow on Ethernet, unless you are using ndiswrapper [05:39] maco: hold on [05:39] maco: oh ok [05:40] WebcamWonder: im not. im using apt-get to get amarok right now and its running around 20 kb/s and i was downloading thunderbird early at about the same... [05:40] Guest61861: now do --> sudo Xorg -configure ...tell me the response you get from that [05:40] maco: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/77/dropbox-howto/ [05:40] dexi: Ahh.. Those mirrors are bombarded pretty much all day long :) [05:40] dexi are you on wired? [05:40] Jack_Sparrow: yes [05:41] hi all, is there any program that help me to capture the inbound/outbound packet then hold it and let me view it's source, abort, change value or continue it's way ? [05:41] maco: step number 8 [05:41] WebcamWonder: but i noticed a lag in average page viewing too [05:41] onetinsoldier: it tells me alot of things and the lines that are showing isnt understandable for me.. it says Your xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf .new [05:41] dexi: And are you using ndiswrapper? [05:41] Ghostindark: sounds like you want tcpdump/wireshark [05:41] WebcamWonder: as far as i know, no. [05:41] Jack_Sparrow, for the name of the mouse would I use "Logitech USB reciever" or its ID # [05:41] wireshark can't hold packet [05:42] onetinsoldier: and it tells me ... to test it i run X-config /root/xorg.conf.new [05:42] onetinsoldier: should i try test it ? [05:42] Guest61861: ok, sounds like it worked. now --> sudo cp -v /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:42] Guest61861: or test it first if you want [05:42] I want a apps that can temporary hold the packet and let me choose what to do with it [05:43] Ghostindark: roger === Mac__ is now known as CoolBSD [05:43] roger? [05:43] the name ? [05:43] xd4: -_- that script is so wrong. most of those things only need to be done once. only the last line (sleep 60s...) would need to be done each startup. and the trouble is that that script is executed before the other startup scripts you've got. preferable would be for it to start last [05:43] Ghostindark: keep asking every few minutes if you have to. have you looked at tcpdump? [05:43] xd4: if you go to system -> preferences -> sessions -> startup is it anyhere in there? [05:44] dexi: I have no clue... It shouldn't really do that [05:44] is it have GUI version ? [05:44] WebcamWonder: lol thanks [05:44] Guest61861: now it's time to try your new xorg.conf file by starting x-windows back up --> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start [05:44] onetinsoldier: i tested it.. my monitor said "No signal" :'( [05:44] maco: no, i checked there, no mention of it [05:44] xd4: though i have to say, i too have an app that autostarts every login even though i dont have it in my autostart thing either [05:44] Guest61861: darn..... [05:44] maco: i even did a serach for all files named autostart [05:44] maco: none have this line of delay 60s in them [05:45] Guest61861: us the pastebinit to post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file [05:45] xd4: it's "sleep" not "delay" [05:45] onetinsoldier: how i do that ? :S [05:45] xd4: grep -r "sleep" ~/.config [05:45] xd4: anything show up from that? [05:45] Guest61861: the command would be... pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:46] Guest61861: then give the url of the post [05:46] maco: only 2 results whoch are not related [05:46] xd4: grep -r "dropbox" ~/.config [05:46] maco: grep: /home/xd4/.config/xpad/server: No such device or address [05:46] Binary file /home/xd4/.config/deluge/state/4d7f4644e594418acbc235f3266814dcdbd3d53f.torrent matches [05:46] /home/xd4/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg:# Set the initial sleeping time, in second [05:47] onetinsoldier: pastebin.com/fb21f33c [05:48] xd4: ok [05:48] Guest61861: ok, i'll take a look, but you should post that to the channel when asking for help. make a description of the problem and include that url in the problem description [05:48] maco: now it shows me 2 files of the dropbox daemon [05:48] maco: in the .dropboxd folder [05:48] onetinsoldier: ok.. well its thanks to u i learned abt the pastebin :P [05:49] xd4: in ~/.dropboxd or in ~/.config/.dropboxd? [05:49] Guest61861: :-) [05:49] maco: in the /.config [05:49] maco:/home/xd4/.config/autostart/dropboxd.desktop:Name[en_US]=dropbox [05:49] /home/xd4/.config/autostart/dropboxd.desktop:Exec=/home/xd4/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd [05:49] xd4: oh, the .desktop, ok [05:49] hi, if i goto places/computer it shows a usb drive but i have none connected, why would it appear and how do i get rid of it ?? [05:49] Hiya, I'm trying to use a digital keychain (usb) on ubuntu. It mounts, but it seems to think it's a cd-rw. it has an DPFMate.exe program which I can't run, even under wine. [05:50] The brand is kaiserbaas. anyone have any ideas what to do? [05:50] lain_wired: U3? [05:50] xd4: ps -ef | grep dropbox [05:50] xd4: see if dropbox is running [05:50] ssmy, U3 what? [05:51] maco: the output is : 25185 23997 0 13:50 pts/0 00:00:00 grep dropbo [05:51] lain_wired: its a crappy PortableApps knockoff that makes a fake Start Menu on Windows after displaying an annoying splash screen and it requires Windows to get rid of it [05:51] lain_wired: U3 is a kind of flash drive. in windows it has portable apps. works by pretending to be a CD if I recall correctly. worth looking into maybe. g2g [05:51] xd4: ok so that'd be no... [05:52] lain_wired: it tricks windows into doing auto-run by pretending to be a CD. its a wonderful security nightmare. [05:52] Guest61861: do you have more than one monitor hooked up? [05:52] I'm trying to format a hdd, but its an old fedora drive, im not sure which partitions and which drives are it, is there a GUI storage tools? [05:52] lain_wired: getting rid of it is kind of a pain. needs windows. if it is even possible w/ that one. got rid of it on my sandisk okay [05:52] !gparted | CoUrPsE|DeAd [05:52] CoUrPsE|DeAd: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [05:52] Thanks. [05:52] lain_wired: the app to get rid of it can be gotten from u3.com but yeah...windows only. or wine. ive heard it works in wine. [05:52] ssmy, maco: but it's not a storage device, as such, it's a photo frame. [05:53] lain_wired: oh...not a flash drive thing? [05:53] maco: yeah, i stopped dropboxd manually [05:53] onetinsoldier: no. but i switched before.. caus i couldnt see anything... i can see with my non widescreen monitor... the thing is ... this is a tv just that it has a pc input.. and i need to force 1360x768 to see anything it appears. [05:53] lain_wired: even weirder. sounds like the photo frame manufacturer did something screwy to get a cool effect in windows or something. [05:53] I assume DPFMate is some sort of GUI program. [05:54] hi everone [05:54] Why couldn't it just be drag and drop? >:| [05:54] presumably [05:54] xd4: ah ok... i was hoping the -ef would how it was started [05:54] lain_wired: try it. might work [05:54] Does anyone know why AIM file transfers would be failing in Pidgin? [05:54] ssmy: try wine? [05:54] ssmy, i did try. [05:54] i need help [05:54] Varth1: proxy? [05:54] doubt it would work [05:54] maco: anyway to just make a new fresh startup session [05:54] Oh wait, did you mean wine or drag and drop? [05:55] Varth1: firewall? most common cause [05:55] Is there any one here succeeded install .net framework 2 on linux [05:55] varth1: pm sent === repsol_ is now known as adrenaline [05:55] Ghostindark: is that even possible? [05:55] does anyone know how to add a mac bar on the bottom? [05:55] lain_wired: guess eiher VM or windows machine is needed then. unfortunate [05:55] I tried many time [05:56] Chicano: a good dock is AWN [05:56] but there's no result [05:56] ssmy pm? [05:56] Chicano: sure [05:56] isn't there anywhere where I can find a regular telephone for my Intrepid that works off of my pc modem? I don't want a sip phone I want to make calls modem to phone [05:56] i can not see my screen due to resolution how do i change it ....is there a safe mode? [05:56] ssmy, i'm pretty annoyed. >:| [05:56] xd4: can you pastebin "ls ~/.config/autostart"? [05:56] i have windows mobile that i can use as shared internet, if i plug into ubuntu on pc1 it auto connects the auto eth0 but when i plug into another ubuntu laptop i get nothing??? [05:56] Guest61861: i'm not sure what to make of it. i think Xorg doesn't like that it's a tv. you should make problem description, and put in that url you got, and what kind fo monitor you are using... errr, tv, lol [05:57] fo=of [05:57] any one know what i can do to get it to find the phones shared connection, something to do with rndis, it did work the first day i loaded ubuntu [05:57] onetinsoldier: ok. :S is there any way i can easy enable my mouse in console..?

[05:59] maco: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97382/ [05:59] Guest61861: sure. i wouldn't mind knowing [05:59] donavan: joking....only because they dont make individual cards [06:00] ssmy, this sucks. i'm miles and miles away from my Windows XP install CD. (I use ubuntu on all my computers) [06:00] donovan, I'd say nvidia, for the moment, nvidia has more workarounds for common 3d problems, especially for compiz [06:00] maco: I was about to ask [06:00] Guest61861: but i think you're going to end up having to hook up a monitor [06:00] donavan: ati's working on open drivers [06:00] sorry to repeat......

[06:00] any one know what i can do to get it to find the phones shared connection, something to do with rndis, it did work the first day i loaded ubuntu [06:00] the_vigilante: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:00] xd4: if you just "rm ~/.config/autostart/dropboxd.desktop" and log out and back in, what happens?

[06:01] GodfatherofEire: even with their closed drivers, getting dual-head working was cake under hardy... [06:01] does rsync actually copy files over? [06:01] how to open a .chm file in ubuntu? [06:01] maco: didnt try it yet, [06:01] Is the google app engine in the repos?

I lost all of my files on /backup. does this have anything to do with rsync ? [06:04] im getting grub error 17 while booting, any suggestions? [06:05] Ghostindark: hint: daemontools doesn't quite fit in with upstart, so you'll need to find a hackaround for the inittab functionality [06:05] ......... [06:05] no way [06:05] can you tell me how ? [06:05] Ghostindark: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:05] Ghostindark: you could write an upstart job [06:06] i used rsync to make a backup to my /backup drive. my main computer crashed and /backup was not umounted properly. I lost all of my files on /backup. does this have anything to do with rsync ? [06:06] happy new year [06:06] happy new year! [06:06] :D [06:06] happy new year!

[06:07] rebel_kid, did you go in bios and make sure it still sees the HD [06:07] donavan: ooh i had matching screens for ati. yes, i think for different resolutions, nvidia's tool is probably easier [06:07] <3 both arch and ubuntu === maco__ is now known as maco [06:08] venger, so error 17 is a cant find hdd error? [06:08] maco: nothing, its the same , another 60sec of delay [06:08] maco__: good to know [06:08] rebel_kid, i wouldn't limit it to "can't find" [06:08] Hey guys, I removed /etc/postfix/ hmm, accidentally... then I apt-get remove and apt-get install but still getting errors . anyone know how to totally reinstall a package?

[06:24] Luo_ you changed the `passwd` on the remote end? does ssh to the remote box work? [06:26] hey guys, for system mail name during postfix setup, can I just put 'localhost'? is that best?

[06:29] moogly: lol [06:29] =[ [06:29] might just go install debian fuck iiittttttttttt [06:29] lou_ well you need an account on the remote server doesn't necessarily need to be the same name just one you have credentials for. did you install openssh-server on the remote end? [06:29] Moogly: Please watch your language. What is "wont install"? [06:29] alright, well I tried to install Ubuntu [06:29] 64bit, and it comes up with errors. [06:30] some input output errors (I/O) [06:30] they just keep coming, anyways, then I tried the 'normal' 32bit distro installation [06:30] rolle you just want to update specific packages not available on the cdor looking to upgrade to intrepid? [06:31] and it messed up at 27% saying something is wrong with the CD or the Hard drive, that its possibly dirty or mest up? even though, I've installed other things perfectly fine... [06:31] venger, actually I'm copying to a folder on the same computer I'm using. I'm tring to set up fwbuilder firewall. [06:31] Ok, seriously, I need help getting xinput to restore my primary click [06:31] happy new year [06:31] anyone mind helping me? ;P [06:32] Happy New Years...I'm trying to configure the context menu I get upon right clicking the desktop as to include the entire gnome main menu.

[06:32] I did and like I said it mest up at 27% [06:32] mest [06:32] i'm not looking to upgrade until i get this bad boy working =p [06:32] Moogly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck [06:33] I'm currently on Mepis btw ;[ I deleted everything D; [06:33] Moogly: and please be patient [06:33] I am ;P [06:33] when I checked the 64bit cd it said a lot of I/O errors [06:33] read the manual/try other installation mediums [06:34] but when I checked the 32bit it said something was wrong with one file, but I cleaned the disk, and it didn't say anything was wrong after :S [06:34] how to install virtual software like virtual pc or vmware in ubuntu? [06:34] Oh and excuse me for my language earlier ;P [06:34] Moogly: that means you are probably using media that isn't very good, or the drive if flaky. [06:34] Does ANYBODY in here know what the xinput binding is for the primary click? [06:34] Lou_, i don't understand why you need to use scp on the same box why not cp ? or did i miss something? [06:35] Mayank: you might want to try virtualbox [06:35] mmmh [06:35] where??? package manager? [06:35] thing is I used a 32bit cd that my friend used and it installed ubuntu perfectly (or completely for that matter) [06:35] moogly: you might want to try the network install if possible, using the mini.iso [06:35] system-administration mayank i think [06:35] moogly: I will send you a PM [06:36] mmh I didn't know they had one (didn't check LOL) [06:36] mayank: yes or sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [06:36] and thanks for your help I'll try it to see if it works out [06:36] can i install xp in that evowill? [06:36] mayank: yes [06:37] hopefully I can get Ubuntu working, I'm tired of other issues with other distros ;[ [06:37] can someone help me with a partition mounting question [06:37] mayank: if you require usb though you will want to get the package from the virtualbox site [06:37] i think i got a problem with fonts... google on firefox shows lines instead words [06:37] http://www.virtualbox.org/ [06:37] right now i am installing virtual box-ose from package manager [06:37] help, *.diff.gz wat this format "diff" [06:37] please anybody? [06:37] mmh [06:38] what makes some distro's automagically reconize and mount other partitions that are not required for the distro? [06:38] mayank: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [06:38] great. [06:38] why do distro's like Knoppix, Xandros and Opensuse automagically do this [06:38] but not Ubuntu? [06:38] mayank>> i got xp running in Virtualbox as we speak, xp runs faster in a VM than it does by itself , and with seamless mode i sometimes have to double check to make sure im actually using Ubuntu lol (You'll get seamless mode after you install virtualbox's Guest Additions) [06:39] I believe for the atheros fix, i need to get build-essential package [06:39] can someone explain that to me. [06:39] venger, well I don't even know enough to be able to ask a logical question. I'll read the manual for ssh, and if that doesn't help I'll come back. Thanks for responding! [06:39] so what is virtualbox-ose eseven73? [06:40] open source editions [06:40] ugh [06:40] virtualbox without the good stuff. [06:40] its the opensource version of VirtualBox (Only downside no usb support) [06:40] which version of ubuntu shud I download? [06:40] ;P [06:40] depends [06:40] you may prefer XFCE, KDE or GNOME.. [06:41] Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 :P [06:41] does anyone know how to make an iso image from a .toc file and audio files? [06:41] Ok, for remapping the mouse buttons, to other non-standard, non-mouse functions, how would I go about doing this? [06:41] Lou_, just trying to grasp you exact situation so i can accurately convey what i think you should do. you are welcome to use the pastebin listed in the topic to show commands you are using and the errors that you get so any one of us can get a better idea and be able to help [06:41] (stuff that cdrdao would normally burn, but I want to make an iso image instead) [06:41] can someone answer my question now? [06:41] what makes some distro's automagically reconize and mount other partitions that are not required for the distro? [06:41] XFCE KDE or Gnome [06:41] why do distro's like Knoppix, Xandros and Opensuse automagically do this [06:41] they all seem the same to me tbh [06:41] but not Ubuntu? [06:42] if it's all the same to you.. just get the standard 32bit Ubuntu install ISO. [06:42] The_Rebel: just a shot in the dark but they have that command enterd into the list of commands to run upon user logon [06:43] Moogly>> Moogly they're all pretty much the same under the hood, but Xubuntu is light-weight and Kubuntu is heavy weight and pretty like Vista kinda sorta [06:43] meh I don't fancy looks [06:43] ;P [06:43] ok get Xubuntu then [06:44] but my tower can handle them [06:44] venger, thanks. I need to get better organized. Then I'll come back. [06:44] so meh it doesn't matter to me to be honest :P [06:44] Moogly: what garble are you spewing. [06:44] Xbuntu won't impress you with anything.. at least GNOME offers a more complete package.

[06:45] rolle, is cdrom enabled in your software sources? [06:45] is there a good gmail panel applet for ubuntu ? [06:45] I just want ubuntu to work ;P [06:45] Moogly: Stick with regular Ubuntu to start [06:45] get Ubuntu then. [06:45] no derivitaves [06:45] Moogly>> lightweight environments are not just for people with crappy hardware, some people just like the look and feel of the more stripped down window managers [06:45] derivatives* [06:45] my only question is which version of it should I download? [06:46] Ubuntu 32bit as i said. [06:46] Moogly: 64-bit would get my nod [06:46] fwaokda>> thunderbird? [06:46] your best beat imo.

[06:46] and it should read it from the cd? [06:46] eseven73, trying to get out of using programs like that I just want an applet that rests in my panel and alerts me when new mail arrives. is there one or is there somewhere i can look? [06:47] brEz: have you attempted to start your ipv6 config right after rebooting? [06:47] fwaokda>> Evolution [06:47] yup [06:47] i just rebooted and then tried ;| [06:47] erm what I mean by what version I should get by the way is : Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 8.04 I downloaded 8.10 for 64bit but didn't work for some awkward reason :P [06:47] eseven73, i dont want to use programs. just want something that tells me when new mail has arrived and then i go to the actual gmail site [06:48] fwaokda>> also theres a million Email widgets you can install too that notify you of new emails... === maco_ is now known as maco [06:48] it loks like your memory during regular sessions might be fragmented, do you have the line 'tunnel_mode=v6anyv4' enabled? [06:48] Moogly: 8.10 [06:48] 8.04 will be supported for 3 years moogly, 8.10 is supported for 16 months i believe [06:48] eseven73, do widgets = panel applets? [06:48] fwaokda>> ok right click on the panel fwaokda and you should see options for adding widgets to it, or install Screenlets [06:48] I am running the recovery option in grub and am trying to run the repair package option. It is giving me a list called Configuring console-setup. Anyone familiar with this? === Talonz is now known as Talonz|AFK [06:48] rolle, System > Administration > Software Sources check the cdrom button -- yes it will try [06:48] but why does 8.04 get more support? thats kind of weird :S [06:49] Is there any list for the specific values that can be input in xinput set-button-map? [06:49] k thanks venger =) probably be back in 10 minutes if it doesn't work [06:49] =p [06:49] fwaokda>> also if you don tlike those, look in synaptic for Screenlets, Desklets, Widgets, Applets the list goes on... [06:49] Moogly: It's an LTS release. It gets 3 years of desktop support, 5 years of server support. [06:49] brEz: are you using the ip tunnel add string? [06:49] eseven73, k i'll check there thanks [06:49] what do you issue,, that returns the error? [06:49] yw [06:49] LTS = ? [06:49] Moogly: Long Term Support [06:49] aah lol [06:49] have you attempted to create a GRE tunnel, do you get the same results? [06:49] anyone know if shane is/was the admin for shame repo? [06:49] moogly: thats for long term support, its used for people who don't really plan to update every 6 months [06:49] dotslash: I'm using this as a guideline; http://davecoyle.com/documents/ubuntu-ipv6-he-tunnel.html [06:49] what kernel is this on, what ubuntu version, etc. [06:50] Moogly: Basically, there are two "tracks" of Ubuntu you can be on, LTS (where a new one comes out every two years or so) or regular (where a new one comes out every six months) [06:50] errm [06:50] well, i'm not going to read the paper you read to fix your problem. [06:50] 8.10 [06:50] maybe I shud try to re-install tomorrow, its kinda late + I don't have access to a computer to burn a disc with D: [06:50] haha :P [06:50] i'm asking you if you implemented this using 'ip tunnel add ...' [06:50] Moogly: For example, I just recently upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04, since I was on the LTS cycle. It means I won't *have* to upgrade again until around 2011 [06:50] no. [06:50] how do idisable the second screen? [06:51] So then, anyone here good at configuring menu's within gnome...I'm trying to add the entire main menu to the context menu you get upon right clicking the desktop.

[06:51] Hurricane Electric [06:51] and I can use tspc with freenet6 [06:51] does anyone know how to disable second scrren [06:51] that works fine, just having issues with HE [06:51] he.net, hmm.

[07:00] brEz: have you tried this on another distro/os [07:00] ioctl will return ENOBUFS even if it is register_netdevice() that fails. I guess that could happen if sit0 already exists. Did you check with ifconfig -a? [07:00] sit0 being your he.net stuff. [07:00] how do you mount an ipod? [07:01] er ifup he-ipv6 [07:01] in CLI [07:01] originally, I had to modprobe sit [07:01] otherwise I was getting "device does not exist" [07:01] hmm [07:01] /sbin/modprobe what? [07:01] all I typed was sudo modprobe sit [07:02] then it allowed me to copy/paste the config code. [07:02] empiric, if you want something easy that works well just go with virtualbox, other than that i'll pass on any vs. discussion [07:02] empiric>> I like VirtualBox 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose' (no usb support, if you want that you'll have to download the one on Virtualbox's website) [07:03] !VirtualBox | empiric [07:03] empiric: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [07:03] venger pass on plz [07:04] brEz: what does it return when you try to ping sites, like www.kame.net [07:04] brett@cooldessin:~$ ping6 www.kame.net [07:04] PING www.kame.net(orange.kame.net) 56 data bytes [07:04] brEz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I tossed LMMS (sudo aptitude install lmms) on this box but I can't see it in the menu anywhere (even re-logged in then rebooted) .. does anyone know where this app goes? /usr/bin maybe? (off to look) [07:13] I have an Nvidia FX5200 [07:13] empiric: please ask an intelligent question. [07:13] I am using the proprietary Nvidia Driver, [07:13] NineTeen67Comet: there is a dpkg command to show files owned by a package [07:14] I can use it through tspc - just the HE.net hates me! [07:14] NineTeen67Comet, you can use dpkg -L to see what files it installed [07:14] I am trying to achibve a resolution of 256x240 [07:14] NineTeen67Comet: have you tried /sbin/lmms, or trying to type llms in your terminal? [07:14] might just drop them a post on the forums or something [07:14] hello. [07:14] dotslash eseven73 is talking abt this ma not [07:14] NineTeen67Comet: also which lmms will tell you if it exists in the path already [07:14] so, i installed the very latest Ubuntu, downloaded from the torrent tonight [07:14] empiric: please speak english.

[07:14] I can only get, 320x240 [07:14] venger: raylu dotslash pepperjack found it guys, just have to make a menu .. it was in /usr/bin .. just didn't look deep enough (my term is tinny today) .. [07:15] and when switching workspaces, it froze on me [07:15] creating Pillarboxing. [07:15] thank you much [07:15] forcing me to restart [07:15] Does anyone know how to make the Nvidia driver do that resolution? [07:15] Zombie: this isn't really ubuntu centric, you should ask fce ultra developers. [07:16] i'm sure that they have a help page somewhere. [07:16] to be fair, ubuntu is only half to blame. PC hardware in general is terrible. [07:16] I have, [07:16] steven: sounds like you've come to a conclusion. [07:16] hi i just want to know how to list the modules in the terminal i used the command earlier today and iv gone blank and google isnt helping please some one [07:16] i was really hoping i could just use Ubuntu and have it work [07:16] isnt that what Ubuntu is all about? [07:17] the-vigilante: what? [07:17] steven: ...no? [07:17] steven: well, when you have failing hardware, ubuntu isn't really to blame. [07:17] lsusb is detecting an ipod nano, but it's not mounting automatically, anyone know what's the problem? [07:17] there was a command that listed the modules or some thing like rndis and usbnet etc [07:17] dotslash: well im certainly not installing Ubuntu on my mac. that defeats the purpose of having a second computer [07:17] ;) [07:17] the-vigilante: kernel modules? [07:18] i guess [07:18] weternal: dmesg | tail to find the node then sudo mount -o rw,umask=000 /dev/sdc1 /media/usb <-- or whatever [07:18] the-vigilante: lsmod [07:18] im new to this hahaha [07:18] thank you so much [07:18] the-vigilante: in the future, apropos will help [07:18] there are documents that should help your transition online. [07:18] to be honest, i have a relatively standard HP model. it has basic hardware that i know linux supports [07:18] apropos as well [07:18] its given me a flaming headache [07:18] its been a year since i last took my bath [07:19] raylu, apropos?? [07:19] the-vigilante: yes... apropos [07:19] steven: you haven't exactly stated a problem. [07:19] cakey: you stink. [07:19] nope [07:19] stephen what's the issue? [07:19] :) [07:19] the-vigilante: try typing it into your terminal.

[07:27] its freely available online. [07:27] I need to stream my webcam - However, neither mplayer nor VLC can seem to read it. xawtv can, however. What could cause this? [07:27] iShock: this is not ubuntu centric. [07:27] raylu>> i got gpg but how would i encrypt just a file? [07:28] dotslash: What? [07:28] iShock what's the webcam model [07:28] iShock: this is not an ubuntu problem. [07:28] weternal: Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 according to LSUSB. [07:28] dotslash: Actually it is.

[07:29] iShock: you may want to look at things like camserv, nevertheless. [07:30] but its not really an ubuntu centric problem. [07:30] say, if xawtv does it, its a xawtv problem. [07:31] (and vlc is capable of streaming webcams -- but then it becomes a vlc problem) [07:31] as does mplayer. [07:31] with the use of mencoder.

[08:00] Son_of_Demetrius, No strange drivers should be necessary for connecting with your ethernet cable. You should just be able to plug that in. ;) [08:00] I'm using some guys cable modem on my pc..he won't be there to help me out [08:01] I've never used a cable modem with Linux...I don't know what to xpect [08:02] morning [08:02] Son_of_Demetrius it's just plug and play [08:02] huh [08:02] so you guys remember a few minutes ago when i had alsa questions [08:02] I just installed Ubuntu 8.10...and that's it...I've done nothing else [08:03] and the general consensus was that compiling from source was a pain, and to just follow instructions on ubuntuforums.com? [08:03] so, um, if i ignored everyones suggestions and compiled from source, and now i have no sound cards, how do i dig back out of that? [08:03] insta: you tell us what you did :D [08:04] Should I bring my mb chipset drivers with me?

[08:05] Any chance somebody can tell me what the "vim" command does in terminal? I'm trying to setup a PG2 blocklist that autoupdates, and I need to create a file using the command "vim blocklist_fetch.sh," but I get something wonky in terminal that I have no clue how to edit.

You want to get ardour [08:08] it's a program which I hear measures up to soundtrack pro [08:08] Happy new EAR !!

[08:13] woden: good question; #gnome [08:13] woden: what do you have? [08:13] Decepticon: man usermod [08:13] raylu: Just openbox with fbpanel [08:13] (restricted drivers) although the System->Admin->Hardware Drivers says that the restricted ATI driver is activated [08:13] ah, openbox [08:13] thx mrwizard..I'm just starting out here... [08:14] woden: you should be able to, but i think it might be hardcoded. [08:14] i'll leave that to x.org devs. [08:14] is it normal for glxinfo to display this if using restricted drivers? "server glx vendor string: SGI" [08:14] I've got an mb that's no longer supported by the manufacturer...doesn't that really suk! :( [08:15] Son_of_Demetrius: mb?

You can do ctrl+alt+left/right [08:18] how to check user is disabled for ssh/ftp? without knowing his password [08:18] I spent 800$ on a bunch od scrap :( [08:18] Brack10: and then you need to add that to the autostart if you want it by default [08:18] ziroday: Cool, that worked but it didn't change my menubar.... [08:18] nitey-nite mrwizard :) [08:18] ziroday: ya i know using tht shortcut key [08:19] Brack10: menubar? [08:19] ziroday: i think there's a more elegant way involving .gnomerc [08:19] ok actually it stopped working [08:19] ziroday: But i'm looking for development part how it was done back end [08:19] now I just don't have window decorations at all [08:19] Brack10: why would a window decorator affect your menubar? [08:19] After I add an alias to .bashrc, how do I make it take affect? [08:19] Brack10: you can install fusion-icon to make it easy to switch decorators easily. emerald is really not something i'd recommend though. it's highly unstable and no longer being developed (ie. the bugs that make it crash all the time won't be fixed) [08:19] iShock: "sourch ~/.bashrc" [08:19] I see [08:19] noted [08:19] raylu: hmm? I never explained to him how to add it to the autostart, there is a nicer way with System > Admin > Sessions [08:19] iShock: or start a new terminal === tritium_ is now known as tritium [08:20] ziroday: but putting emerald --replace there just makes it load gtk and then replace it with emerald every time [08:21] raylu: installing another sound card made alsa see all 3 cards again ... [08:21] raylu: ah right I see now what you're getting at, yes he could do that as well. That is if he wants to stay with emerald, I like maco's idea of fusion-icon myself [08:22] I just started using Fedora 10 and this is my first linux experience.

[09:57] I do connect my tvtuner card to my cable box right? not just straight into the wall? [09:57] Neither of those really answers the question I had. Am I free to come and go in teams within LaunchPad, or are there strings attached? [09:57] thenetduck: depends [09:57] thenetduck, mythtv has very extensive documentation; you should look up your card and read some of the faq's and setup guides and then ask questions if you run into a hitch [09:58] thenetduck: where do you live? [09:58] ball utah [09:58] ball usa [09:58] Do you have digital or analogue cable? [09:58] hum... I don't know. How can I find this out? [09:59] ball: you're more or less free to come and go.

[10:00] thenetduck: yeah, you'll want to plug your video capture card into your set-top box then [10:00] Use S-Video or Composite though, not RF [10:00] It had something to do with the terminal and some sudo code or something [10:01] ball is RF the cable cord? [10:01] "cable cord" is ambiguous. [10:01] ...do you mean coax? [10:01] anyone can help me how to backup my nokia phonebook to ubuntu ? been googling for hours and can't find the answers [10:01] phrostbite: with imagemagick installed 'convert input.jpg output.png' [10:01] er... ball the kind of cord theat comes out of the wall in a standard house === W_McL_ is now known as W_McL [10:02] thenetduck: yeah, don't use that. [10:02] that's bad. [10:02] where would i go to put that in? because imagemagick does not have a thing that i can like open. [10:02] ok... composite good .... S-vido better [10:02] yes. [10:03] In ascending order of goodness: composite -> S-Video -> RGB -> HDMI [10:04] ball is it possible with the cable cord "RF" i believe [10:04] phrostbite: it is a commandline tool - if you want to do a lot of files at once you can just make a simple script to do that for you (basic command is convert input.jpg output.png) [10:04] Applications>Accessories>Terminal [10:04] hullo [10:04] I guess RGB is some other component thing in the U.S. [10:04] thenetduck: don't use the RF cable, that's just stupid. [10:06] ball ... ok. so my tvtuner card has 1 component cable (not sure why only one but oh well), 1 s-video, and 2 RF cables. I don't think I can use component because there are enough spaces [10:06] thenetduck: you probably have component from your cable box to your tv [10:07] ball yes I can do that [10:07] oh... ok [10:07] thenetduck: so use your s-video (and an audio cable) from your cable box to your video capture card [10:07] I found the command I need to put into the terminal but I do not know hot to use the terminal to get to the folder where the pictures are. [10:07] *UNLESS* [10:07] phrostbite: cd dir_with_pictures/ [10:07] Hello everyone, does anybody know if there is a program for ubuntu/kubuntu to manually add subtitles (by writing text and giving a specific begin/end-time) to an .avi/.mpeg or so file? [10:07] ball and then component from my box to my tv? [10:07] thenetduck: does your TV have an HDMI input? [10:07] ok thanks. [10:07] then mogrify -format png *.jpg [10:07] no... I wish [10:07] that will take care of all of them [10:07] Could be a seperate file too as long as e. g. vlc can read it [10:08] Okay, so do component (five leads) from the cable box to your TV and S-Video (three) from your cable box to your video capture card. [10:08] #cc2 [10:09] ball ok that sounds perfect ... great Thanks for all the really good help [10:09] thenetduck: no problem.

All the files had .JPG and i was doing .jpg lowercase [10:51] happy new year guys! please help. i used to download a torrent. there was no space on disk which i noticed later. i stopped the transfer but this appeared - http://paste.ubuntu.com/97522/ - this is my windows C partition. now i cant sudo rm -rf this directory and it behaves strange - no write access on C. how to delete/fix this? === dmsuperm1n is now known as dmsuperman [10:51] That could be a bad cable [10:52] If you are using the ports on the front of the computer, try using the ones directly on the motherboard(if available) [10:52] AXXXXXXXXXX [10:52] OPS, WRONG CHAN [10:53] RaverWild: what happens when you try sudo rm -rf ?

I can still run from terminal naturally. I have even deleted backup ".sh~" file and searched filesystem and cant find any other files. [10:54] miranda_psi: my crontab is simple 30 04 * * * /bin/radio.sh > /home/user/vlc.log 2>&1 [10:55] miranda_psi, take a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97526/ [10:55] Try another file of about the same size on the device [10:55] evowill_: i have, works fine. funny part is running HD video formats don't cause it, just a rip of a movie. [10:55] Also if you are using the front USB ports, try the ones directly on the motherboard [10:55] evowill_: its going direct [10:56] evowill_: i have another video running on the device right now [10:56] hi, videos i play in totem or vlc or mplayer are really bleached for me.. why do you think tis is..? [10:56] RaverWild: try sudo rm -rfiv (might give more information and should prompt for deletions...) [10:56] then I assume that it is possible, though strange, but if it only happens on that file, and none others, even of the same, greater size. It is probably just that file [10:57] evowill_: yeah, it seems specific to that file. especially if you fast forward, it appears almost as if the file may be broken and causing the HDD to over-seek on it [10:57] evowill_: i have another file of equal size running right now and its yet to mishap, while the file in question causes the reset near imediately [10:58] miranda_psi, tried - says "cannot remove blah... Input/output error" [10:59] outlaw1: so when you remove it - nothing gets run? do you get the same problem when you add it back in? [11:00] miranda_psi: yes. I'm moving script to /usr/local/bin/ and deleted script from location it was in. not sure if it will change anything but worth a try i guess [11:01] outlaw1: if that doesn't work I don't know what to try next, but good luck :) [11:01] miranda_psi: I do appreciate your time. thank you [11:01] miranda_psi, will boot windows and see if i can delete from there [11:02] nix los?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:31] look at the link ;-P [12:31] Does anyone know if there's a way I can copy or move files to a hard drive at a set speed? [12:31] cyphase: sata or ide? [12:31] sunface: just state your problem. If anyone can help you then they will reply :) [12:32] eth01: ide [12:32] jimi_hendrix: how hard to search it in google? [12:32] cyphase: From a different hdd or via a network? [12:32] jimi_hendrix: never heard of this brand dynex b4 [12:32] cafuego: different hdd [12:32] k.. i am not able to connect gprs via bluetooth from mobile.. pairing cant be done.. how to solve this ? [12:32] eth01: and that thread from 2006 is still relevant ? [12:32] jimi_hendrix: i always get linksys for wireless networking [12:32] mrwes: it holds some relevance, yes [12:32] cyphase: why the set speed? whats the point. [12:33] jimi_hendrix: and usb wireless network is a nono [12:33] eth01: that's the problem with some of the online docs -- many, many are out dated [12:33] I'd be concerned following a doc +2 years old [12:33] mrwes: as i'm aware [12:33] moin [12:33] cyphase: You can make writes slower by turning off DMA mode on the target disk, I guess. There's not really any tools for trasferring ata set speed; afaik. [12:33] k [12:33] eth01: the destination drive has been having a problem where if i read from or write to it to fast, the whole computer starts to freeze up [12:34] eth01: i'm pretty sure restarting would fix it, but i don't want to restart right now [12:34] cyphase: That sounds like broken hardware. Not software. [12:34] cyphase: that sounds like dodgey ram [12:34] jimi_hendrix: did u try ndiswrapper ? [12:34] kelvin yes [12:34] cafuego: still, watching a video from the hdd or downloading to it from the net works fine [12:35] cafuego: indicating slower speeds work fine [12:35] kelvin911, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6472150#post6472150 <<< tried all that [12:35] cyphase: can you run top? [12:35] eth01: running [12:35] cyphase: Yes. Sounds like dodgy hardware. Could be as simple as the pata cable. [12:35] cyphase: whats the proc usage? [12:36] cafuego: it would be a big thick ide cable [12:36] eth01: around 30% [12:36] jimi_hendrix: if i am u i will just go refund it and get the pci card one [12:36] how to connect net via bluetooth in ubuntu 8.10 thgriugh mobile ? [12:36] eth01: i'm not copying right now though [12:36] cyphase: There'll probbaly be messages in the kernel log about lost interrupts. [12:36] jimi_hendrix: the pci one are better anyway [12:36] jimi_hendrix: and easiest to install [12:36] cyphase: so when you copy/transfer stuff - it increases almost instantly to something ridiclous? [12:36] ridiclous, even [12:36] cyphase: Step one is to check the SMART log on that drive. 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/hdX' [12:37] eth01: it's so bad i can barely move the mouse [12:37] pci = the one i plug open up my machine and throw it in? [12:37] hello, could someone advise how I could use SOCKS5 (ssh) proxy in shell ? I want to connect to ftp site through socks5 using 'lftp' client [12:37] jimi_hendrix: what do u mean? [12:37] cyphase: it sounds like it's RAM related. the reason you can probably do the most basic of things is because there's a reserve/unflushed amount - which is keeping it going [12:37] cyphase: If the systemd etects a problem it can lower the speed the drives is accessed at. It does that by swithcing from DMA to PIO mode. PIO mode eats a LOT of cpu. [12:38] kelvin911, im asking you...pci is the card that i would put in the machine...correct? [12:38] jimi_hendrix: you on a laptop or desktop? [12:38] i wouldn't be surprised if when you rebooted it - it either 1) works perfectly or 2) doesn't work at all. [12:38] anyone know where the xkblayout-files are? [12:38] mrwes, typing this laptop problem on desktop [12:38] eth01: yea, i'm pretty sure it'll work fine [12:39] jimi_hendrix: yes pci card [12:39] cafuego, eth01: so do you know how to copy/move at a set speed? [12:39] cyphase: you could do a memtest, i think you need to *reboot* it really. [12:39] eth01: i know [12:39] jimi_hendrix: then installing a PCI wifi card is pretty straight forward and easy [12:39] cyphase: not really, there is a way [12:39] jimi_hendrix: laptop or desktop? [12:39] cyphase: You need to check if the machine has done that for you already, which might be *exactly* the problem. blktool should tell you. [12:39] kelvin911, what do you mean [12:39] how to connect net via bluetooth modem in ubuntu 8.10 through mobile ? [12:39] jimi_hendrix: the wireless u trying to setup [12:40] kelvin911, desktop [12:40] jimi_hendrix: i assume it is desktop because laptop nowadays have wireless [12:40] jimi_hendrix: then buy wireless netword card [12:40] jimi_hendrix: refund the usb crap [12:41] <_aer_are> how to update the kernel in ubuntu? [12:41] kelvin911, well while i wait for tomarrow to come so i can refund the usb can we try and get this to work? [12:41] _aer_are: It'll automatically update via the package manager if there are security fixes. [12:42] jimi_hendrix: why do u want wireless for desktop? [12:42] jimi_hendrix: is the router too far away? [12:42] <_aer_are> so they don't recommend to update to the latest kernel at www.kernel.org?

[12:42] kelvin911, desktop = basement router = far away [12:43] jimi_hendrix: ? [12:43] kelvin911, i the desktop is in the basement...the router is upstairs [12:43] _aer_are: Certainly not if you don't know how to, yiou'll likely end up breaking the system. [12:44] I'm having problem installing Compiz Fusion... [12:44] _aer_are: You might want to check fo a kernel HOWTO and see hoiw to configure and build one, just to learn.... but there's no *need* to. [12:45] I mean I got it installed, but the effects are still not applied and saved. I rebooted too === titan_ is now known as ganroe [12:45] jimi_hendrix: is the router very far away? [12:45] hello everyone, i formatted a new HD in gparted as EXT2 but now the drive is not writable because the owner is root how can i change that? [12:45] Eldron: It comes with Ubuntu, there's no separate install. Just click Preferences > Appearance > Effects [12:45] id have to drill through a celling and wall to get it downhere... [12:45] kelvin911, ^^^ [12:45] Eldron; what does lsb_release -a tell you?

[12:46] sudo chown [12:46] jimi_hendrix: they are stronger [12:47] Hi... It says NO LSB Modules Are Available [12:47] accidently click "move to trash" on some usb files and can't get them back. tried dragging them from trash to desktop and i just got empty directories. usb key is still showing the same amount of gigs used so are they just hidden somewhere? how do iget them back? [12:47] Cafuego: I don't know [12:47] * cafuego didn't think the LSB had anything to do with the X composite manager [12:47] Oh [12:48] ganroe: There's a hidden folder on the USB stick. [12:48] kelvin911, any possible way i can use this linksys card thingie that you slide into your laptop that i have looks like http://www.dynexproducts.com/pc-734-4-dynex-wireless-n-laptop-card.aspx but is lynksis [12:48] ganroe: .Trash-username [12:48] What folder?

[12:48] jimi_hendrix: thats a pc card for laptop [12:48] jimi_hendrix: goto a terminal on the desktop and type lsusb and see what chipset is in that usb dongle === laris_jr is now known as laris [12:49] Hm... I'll ask in the forum with more details. [12:49] Thanks all [12:49] jimi_hendrix: mini pci's are for laptops [12:49] and desktops with a mini pci slot ;-) [12:49] realized that but was praying [12:49] Anybody having issues with Firefox Web Developer?

[12:50] desktop with mini pci slot? never seen in real life [12:50] cafuego: see the .Trash-1000 but no filles in files directory. Maybe because I tried dragging from trash to desktop first?

[12:50] ganroe: Hmmm [12:51] mrwes, lsusb lists a lot of stuff from linux foundation...but i dont see much of anything else [12:51] ganroe: 'du -sh' will show folder sizes .. just see which one's big. [12:51] i have to admit setting up wireless in ubuntu is a pain in the ass [12:51] (or bigger than 0 anyway) [12:51] kelvin911: Depends. With decent hardware it just works. [12:52] good [12:52] I seriously can't find the xkblayout files [12:52] jimi_hendrix: try lsusb | grep dynex [12:52] i think ubuntu needs to work harder in that wireless department [12:52] kelvin911: yup with the right hardware it just works. [12:52] kelvin911: The problem is these WinWifi dongles from useless manufacturers [12:52] any guide how to install ubuntu with usbflash and network? [12:52] kelvin911: what in particular? [12:52] mrwes, nothing [12:52] kelvin911: If the manufacturers would sactually publish specs, people could write drivers. Not Linux fault. Manufacturers fault.

[12:53] kelvin911: The fact that they change chipsets without changing model numebrs isn't very helpful eithet, though [12:53] NeoAesScrobis: something like this: sudo chown username /media/disk/ [12:54] cafuego: manufacturers need to start to support linux other than windows [12:54] cafuego: doesn't show any directories with any decent size but properties say 2.9 gigs used [12:54] the system do not mount my dvd automatically.. how can I do it??

[13:02] jacobw-uk: i am not sure, though, how the touch buttons work exactly, never have seen those in reality yet [13:02] hello [13:03] I've got a problem with sound in movies [13:03] does anyone know why ekiga does show my webcam , but easy cam doesnt? [13:03] I have it in Amarok, and sound prefs looks good [13:03] what is the commande for delete all Thumbs.db ? locate Thumbs.db >> rm ?

[13:04] ok, I have 3 Ubuntu boxes, one 8.04, one 8.10, and one I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, the upgraded one I cannot connect to with a windows VNC program, but I can use that program to connect to the other 2 machines [13:04] locate Thumbs.db >> rm ? what is the commande for delete all files with the name Thumbs.db ? [13:04] If I got an external harddrive with usb connection and ntfs as file system. Can I use it in linux and see movies and listen to mp3s? is it easy? because I need to keep my win xp system aswell because of several programs such as visual studio and a few more. [13:04] !anyone | white-sheep [13:04] white-sheep: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:04] ja660k: it might well be that the software who is behind the touch buttons is implented in windows only. this would mean you could use it as storage only in ubuntu. the buttons basically would have no function [13:04] ja660k: sorry [13:05] how delete all Thumbs.db with a commande ? [13:05] DIFH-iceroot, What? You're throwing that at me, not chilli0 ? Tsk tsk. [13:05] locate Thumbs.db >> rm ? [13:05] white-sheep: ? [13:05] I can VNC to the upgraded box from another Ubuntu box, but in windows it says it cannot find a workable encrytion type to use [13:05] white-sheep: correct [13:05] feliz año nuevo [13:05] feliz 2009 [13:05] DIFH-iceroot, You're useless. That was your first message... in long time. [13:06] how delete all Thumbs.db ?

[13:06] does anyone know why ekiga does show my webcam , but easy cam doesnt? [13:06] white-sheep: you have a ubuntu-related question? [13:06] chilli0: what kind of camera? [13:06] what is the commande for delete all Thumbs.db please ! [13:06] Atchoum: find /directory/to/search -name "Thumbs.db" -delete [13:06] its a lenovo easy cam [13:06] hay algun español [13:06] Atchoum: ask your question ONCE [13:06] chilli0: have you tried Cheese?

[13:07] lasivian: i have cheese and it doesnt work [13:07] is there a way to remove all packages except a select few? [13:07] chilli0: hrrm, I ask because i've had the exact same problem with the camera on my Aspire One [13:07] DIFH-iceroot, pretty much. I tried to install Web developer using two possible solutions -- The one I downloaded from Firefox addons and the one I installed using the package. Both didn't work out for me too well. Could be firefox issue, then again, why is there packages for Ubuntu-Firefox. [13:07] level1: have you tried with synaptic? [13:07] how delete all Thumbs.db ? [13:07] what the commande for ? [13:07] kelvin911, should i have used the vista drivers or the xp drivers? [13:07] Atchoum: I've already told you: find /directory/to/search -name "Thumbs.db" -delete [13:08] ok thank you [13:08] chilli0: is yours a "crystalcam" unit? [13:08] lasivian: i just found something odd , i looked at cheese and it says that its using the lenovo easy cam how ever it doesnt show any video [13:08] lasivian: not sure [13:08] white-sheep: the addon is for the newest firefox? [13:09] savvas: there isn't a select all button [13:09] so yeah, could I get a little help with xbindkeys so that it does use an actual alt tab instead of a text-based tab? For the moment, Instead of window switching I get just an ordinary tab, so I could use a bit of a nudge to just help me finish up with my mouse here. I've been tryin to figure it out for the last 2 hours and I've gotten nowhere [13:09] jimi_hendrix: i think xp driver [13:09] DIFH-iceroot, Ya. 3.0.5 version. [13:09] chilli0: dmesg should list the details [13:09] it shows lots of crap [13:09] white-sheep: and "does not work for me" means? error-message?

It didn't show up at all. Possible some kind of interfering in firefox's gui. [13:11] lasivian: i found some stuff on it [13:11] input: Lenovo EasyCamera as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb8/8-5/8-5:1.0/input/input8 [13:11] Atchoum: then use sudo: sudo find / -name "Thumbs.db" -delete [13:11] ok thank you very much [13:12] chilli0: hrrm, beyond me i'm afraid, sorry [13:13] k [13:13] Seriously, does anybody know how to that, cause I got a splitting headache and I've been looking for 2 hours now. Now maybe I missed something obvious so dont flip on me or refuse to respond if its obvious [13:13] i dont understand why windows create such horrible thumbs.db eveywhere [13:14] annoying as hell [13:14] how can i reload a webcam?

[13:49] savvas, I am trying this for now !eeepc > savvas [13:49] Dr_willis_, Yeah I tryed that ... didn't quite work ... so I went manual on it [13:50] birkoff, ive also had unetbootin sucessfully make a install thumbdrive from the alternative isntaller iso files === adante_ is now known as adante [13:50] Sounds like it may be mor eof an EEE issue.

[14:06] tizbac: are you sure you're using the proper drivers? can you post the output of: lspci -nn | grep VGA [14:06] is this odd [14:06] savvas: i tried, the ones from ubuntu repos, the stable from nvidia site and the beta [14:06] ? [14:06] GodfatherofEire, if a filesystem some how triggers an error - the system will 'remount' it as read only to pervent data curruption.. this can happen '10 min ago' or at any time..chedk dmesg logs.. and i would strongly suggest booting a live cd and manyually fscking the filesystem. xorg.conf changes will not affect the filesystem. :) [14:07] tizbac: wait, you tried them after the problem appeared, or did you install beta/nvidia-site ones before the problem appeared? [14:07] How do I change the mirror that apt-get is pulling from?

[14:07] savvas: after the problem appeared [14:07] Dr_Willis, about the flash: I've tried installing flash from adobe's site, like firefox suggested. Then I did some searching and noticed there seemed to be something more to it than just that (as always). Just now I installed the flashplugin savvas suggested (running 32-bit) and at least youtube is working. Oddly enough, one other site still doesn't work so I'm downloading the restricted extras you recommended. We'll see...

The other site just didn't function [14:08] ??? [14:08] veltsu, i think you NEVER NEVER NEVER want to install flash from 'adobes' site.. use the package manager system's version. [14:08] Well, Dr_willis_ I'll brb [14:08] tizbac: perhaps faulty graphics card? or is it working well with other operating systems (windows?)? [14:08] hello [14:08] savvas: with windoze i can play crysis at very high for hours [14:09] veltsu: are you using ubuntu 8.04 hardy or 8.10 intrepid?

Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [15:26] banshee_: use $HOME/hlds - $HOME (capitals, case sensitive) stands for /home/youruser [15:26] Well, actually, at the end of a line there's || { followed by other lines, indented [15:26] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [15:26] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [15:26] I get that error... [15:27] TrentonH: try again once more [15:27] /usr/share/doc/bash/bashref.pdf uses the terms 'history list' and 'command history' side by side. What is the difference between both? [15:27] TrentonH, you probably have adept or synaptic running [15:27] would someone please be able to advise why there's nothing showing up on the "Prepare partitions" stage of the desktop install? [15:27] TrentonH: is another process using it? [15:27] I had the program open for the GUIU via Installing Wine. [15:27] TrentonH: as the error says [15:27] I did Schuennemmena or w/e [15:27] I got it installing. [15:27] Thanks for the advice, Dr_willis_, the guide looks good [15:28] Hey all, just say the backup info rolling past, made me think of a question using the "dd" command is it possible to make your image the actual size of the data rather then the size of the physical disk? [15:28] Thank you all very much! [15:28] i need to extract 5o zip files... what argument or something should I use with the unzip command? [15:28] *50 [15:28] 50 individual files?

[15:30] hi please, is it possible to clone disk using partimage? [15:30] over network [15:30] magnus__: why?

[15:33] or just idle [15:33] I've manager to find the fd of the tcp connections with lsof, so I figured there might be some command to close 'em that way. [15:34] s/manager/managed [15:34] lfaraone: i cannot see status with nc [15:34] DragoraN: Clonezilla has proved useful to my school in the past. [15:35] magnus__: Dunno much about networking, but try ettercap kiling the conn. [15:35] simpleos: Yeah guess I could kill the app, just thought I'd ask around if there were a faster way. :) [15:35] simplexio: Ok will do. Thanks for the tip [15:36] hello [15:37] i used to be simpleos. [15:40] /usr/share/doc/bash/bashref.pdf uses the terms 'history list' and 'command history' side by side.

When I tried the actual Garfield DVD, I got 51 minutes, then it stopped encoding. I'm just worried that the same will happen again (though at one point, I did have a garfield.iso file - that I deleted in fear of the security guards - but the audio was missing?) [16:00] Silvernotex: Did you try Reinstalling Ubuntu on your laptop? [16:00] q. what is the name of the sun java vm package ? [16:00] quick question, is there a specific room for 64 bit unbuntu or sound problems? [16:00] yes, Multiple times [16:00] !64bit [16:00] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [16:00] LetsGo67, perhaps the disc was protected? [16:01] Silvernotex: What version of Architecture of Ubuntu are you using? [16:02] KTHXBAI!!! [16:02] is that like 64 or 32 bit? [16:02] 32 lol [16:02] Silvernotex: yes. [16:02] Silvernotex: try and download the 64 bit architecture, if your laptop is AMD Athalon 64-bit [16:02] Schuenemann, the disc *is* protected. But this happens all the time, during playback even. I had to waste 5 minutes, because Enchanted stopped playing about 3/4 of the way. Is it the "dual-layer transition" that causes VLC to stop playing a DVD after about 3/4? [16:03] Its an Intel I think [16:03] =/ [16:03] Not entirely sure [16:03] hello. how do i make an application i placed in a directory (/opt) run without getting the "Do you want to run "arduino" or display its contents?"? warning [16:03] Right now Garfield is at 1,5GB, for reference. [16:03] its a Dell Inspiron 2600 [16:03] nootrope: I have the same problem playing Rock Band, reminds me of Windows... [16:04] well, I don't know [16:04] Silvernotex: lol, to be honest, i never heard of it [16:04] Silvernotex: Wait,you mean the Laptop model? [16:04] I'm having some problems with ufw, but I was wondering if I could just skip it as I've got a firewall in my router anyway? [16:04] yes [16:04] LetsGo67, hah! yeah, i "love" that about Vista. [16:04] Silvernotex: Oh lol [16:04] the Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 2600 [16:04] !firewall [16:04] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [16:04] lol [16:05] Sure jack, but is it necessary? [16:05] roffe - yes you may skip it [16:05] nootrope, yeah, it's a game, I clicked on it, and it's asking me whether I want to run it? Can anyone fix this problem, please? :) [16:05] Do you guys have a statistics thing for Ubuntu downloads similar to Fedora's page here: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org:6969 [16:05] autopsy: no. [16:05] Thanks free. Why does anyone use it? Doesn't pretty much everyone have a firewall in their routers anyway? [16:05] Hm. Ok. [16:06] Hi, happy new year everyone. [16:06] LetsGo67, it's not a problem. the file has to be given permission to execute somehow, but i don't know how [16:06] Happy new year [16:06] br [16:06] #brb [16:06] back [16:06] Anyone willing to help me out with a sound problem on 64 bit 8.10? [16:06] roffe - to customize to their needs [16:06] It's my birthday, and I just feel like shit getting older :( [16:06] free, allright! good enough answer [16:06] nootrope: you have a slightly different problem, then... isn't /opt a sudo directory? [16:07] I have a problem with my laptop, if I don't move the mouse or type on the keyboard it seems to almost lockup and the wifi quits [16:07] LetsGo67, I made thatdir [16:07] TWO GIGS! [16:07] roffe: Think of getting cool stuff when your older, you get your house, your own pay nd other kewl stuff :P [16:07] roffe routers are pretty easy to crack [16:07] LetsGo67, at least i *think* i made it :) [16:07] Tbic, I find on my 8.04 my laptop does that unless I have a mouse plugged in [16:07] nootrope: sorry, can't really help you... but I know it's annoying. [16:08] Nikola, I'm 24 today, and I was allowed all that since 18, so I rather not get any older :) [16:08] Who here thinks it's legal to put a movie on a MP4 player? [16:08] roffe: think of ufw as an extra layer of customizable, fit-to-your-needs simple firewall [16:08] odinsbane, yeah sure. I'm not afraid over here though, only old people. [16:09] !ot [16:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:09] roffe, you're at the end of your life, it must be awful. ;) [16:09] roffe: those are the BEST years... trust me... [16:09] /usr/share/doc/bash/bashref.pdf uses the terms 'history list' and 'command history' side by side. What is the difference between both? [16:09] Jack_Sparrow but I am trying to rip a DVD *in Ubuntu* for the Nintendo DS! [16:09] I have a question that is not so ubuntu specific, so I hope it's OK to ask. under ubuntu, my home partition (ext3) was full and I deleted two files totaling 36 Gb and then emptied the recycle bin. But the system monitor does not show up a gain of 36 Gb. It was something like 1 Go. what's wrong? [16:09] nootrope, you can't imagine =) I'm unemployed though, so it feels like shit when you're not filling your CV [16:10] LetsGo67, Your question was not on topic [16:10] Could've been... [16:10] anyone have a pointer to docs on how to make something executable without the OS asking you what you want to do? [16:10] mathmoi, look n your trash folder [16:10] Two point five gigs complete! [16:10] Are there any usb wireless adapters that have particularly good ubuntu compatibility? [16:10] Nikola, sure hope so, but it looks like I'll get stuck with a gf pretty soon :/ [16:10] Jack_Sparrow: It's empty. [16:10] Speaking of wireless adapter, can you use one as an access point? [16:11] thomc, I have one.. just a sec [16:11] mathmoi, root has its own trash too. [16:11] Oh, I think I found what was wrong, the files were still used by a rogue process. [16:11] roffe: Lucky you... [16:11] mathmoi - what does df -h or du -h shows? [16:11] For example, I have this crappy old computer, I hook up a USB wireless adapter, so my laptop and stuff can use the Net? [16:11] I killed it and now they're gone. [16:11] TWO POINT EIGHT!

[16:13] Nikola: I guess it's the point with everything, but you'll miss out on a lot of other nice times with the guys [16:13] Yeh, I have a Belkin one up and running with that, but it's temperamental at best. [16:13] Jack_Sparrow, free: Thanks for your help. [16:13] roffe: Well, you can still go out for a couple of beers [16:13] Nikola: You're missing one of them I guess? [16:13] Ya know [16:14] Nikola: I want lots of beers though =) [16:14] thomc, FWIW, my Linksys is also temperamental [16:14] roffe, Read what offtopic manes.. thanks [16:14] means [16:14] so i tried to do alt+Fn+sysrq to then start typing REISUB and I got flooded with tons of instances of gnome-screenshot, am I doing something wrong?

Ive never used poweriso before. [17:16] crdlb: One of two things happens. Scenario 1: I can log in once, but when I log out I get a back screen.

[17:18] aata, Most of the time you can install most build dependencies as in this example: sudo apt-get build-dep xvidcap , that will install all the -dev packages that the xvidcap package says it needs to compile === Hex|xeH_ is now known as Hex|xeH [17:18] nootrope: i turned off java script, and some other ones that i dont think i need atm, i guess all i can do now is wait, and see if that helps [17:18] Does anyone have experience running Ubuntu on a TOSHIBA Satellite laptop? [17:18] is there any way to streched desktop icons according to partition size?? [17:18] aata: I mean take your machine with you and update it from a place where they have internet [17:19] xav_, i doubt you will have much luck. if the live cd doesnt boot then the alt wont either... [17:19] erpo: I have no idea how to debug that, but 173 is relatively new still, so I'd stick with that. You could try a future version (180 probably) if you upgrade ubuntu in April [17:19] hello [17:20] troythetechguy, Yes, and it took a bit of work to get it to install off the livecd [17:20] who can tell me how to make the font bigger in kmplayer? [17:20] i have a smallllllllll font [17:20] I just used Synaptic to install Thunderbird, how do I get it listed in /apps/internet? [17:21] symptom: it booted to the ubuntu selection screen, where you can pic to run live, or install. but if i hit either of those it would go to a blank screen. [17:21] nootrope: Thanks for the help. Im having a bad day, and having firefox screw up on me every 2 secs isnt helping [17:21] huh [17:21] i can't figure out why my pc wouldn't be capable. [17:21] tavi: try holding Shift+T while playing the movie - Shift+R makes it smaller [17:21] xav_: try to boot in safe graphics mode, hit F4 while in the selection screen [17:22] savvas: don´t work [17:22] probably a problem with the burn then.... or graphics [17:22] tavi: did you hold it for 5 seconds while playing the movie? [17:22] maggot: everything seemed to try to load though, then the disk stopped spinning and it quit. [17:22] savvas: the folks in #irssi are cool. [17:22] hi [17:22] savvas: yes [17:22] xav_: maybe a bad burn really [17:23] tavi: then find it somewhere in the preferences/settings :) [17:23] symptom: the disc worked on a different pc, so that isn't the problem. it was an "official" one too, sent to me [17:23] savvas: i searched [17:23] Hi, trying to update something in terminal but I get a "Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?" statement without a chance to continue, so I get "unrecognised input, aborted"....is there an easy way round this? [17:23] i finded i modified [17:23] but nothing happens [17:23] tavi: or right-click on the main window and look for subtitle options, size or whatever [17:23] very odd... yea try the alt, and if that doesnt work try xubuntu [17:23] i can't use sudo su command when i type sudo su this message appear sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666, should be 0440 [17:23] Jack_Sparrow: Which model of TOSHIBA do you have, and which version of Ubuntu did you use/ [17:23] savvas: at right click nothing happens [17:23] tavi: I think you have to press save/apply, close the menu, close kmplayer and restart it. [17:24] troythetechguy, One of the satellites and the last install was hardy.. I think.. [17:24] wilstone: what are you trying to update, and where did you get it from? [17:24] savvas: is so stupid? [17:24] tavi: does it mention a shortcut next to the right-click for subtitle size? [17:24] symptom: yeah if i can't get this i'll try a different linux version for sure. so many people like ubuntu tho so i figured i'd try it out. i have an eee with xandros on it and i love it. [17:24] hello all [17:24] babbsudo su is not the best way to work [17:24] n2diy, i'm trying to update my dell bios, so it's trustworthy [17:24] savvas: like i said at fright click nothing happens [17:25] savvas: nothign is showed [17:25] Flash playback is painfully slow on linux for some reason, does anyone know of a way to increase it or use another flash-player? [17:25] baber, sudo su is not the best way to work [17:25] okay, so i have a server with a SMART failure on one of it's disks. [17:25] xav_: you could try linux mint, it's based on ubuntu, but with extras and it's faster [17:25] i've got a new drive in there with a clean 8.10 install [17:25] maggot, Yuch.. please dont pimp mint in here [17:25] well xubuntu runs a minimal x system [17:25] hello! I have a question.. can anybody tell me, why the open and close animations dont actualy animate, when i turn them on? I turn them on in the compiz settings manager! [17:25] tavi: yes, but do you SEE if it says on the right a shortcut command, like "+" or "Shift+Something" ? [17:25] i figured i could chroot to the new drive and get all the relevant packages installed [17:25] but that isn't happening. :/ [17:25] Jesus, everytime I enable the NVidia driver now, my GNOME stops working :( :( [17:25] savvas: nothing [17:25] sorry [17:25] n2diy: running as root (I know this is normally a bad idea, but dell so...) wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash [17:25] xav_, but xubuntu is still ubuntu [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: i want update and i need enter with sudo what do i have to do? [17:26] apt just throws loads of errors [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for the info. I'm deciding between an Acer Aspire, or a TOSHIBA Satellite. Your comments, along with a blog I found, sound like the TOSHIBA Satellite is a little more difficult to get Ubuntu, or Linux running. [17:26] maggot: i'll look into it. [17:26] just tweeked [17:26] !xubuntu [17:26] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [17:26] tavi: well.. I'm out of ideas :) [17:26] troythetechguy, np [17:26] symptom: alrigjt, o [17:26] !hardware > troythetechguy [17:26] i'll see what i can do with the alt [17:26] troythetechguy, please see my private message [17:26] alternative ideas? can i force rsync to stay on one filesystem [17:26] n2diy: I know :) [17:26] wilstone: Hmmm, that is scary. You might find help in #ubuntu-kernel? [17:26] savvas: what kind of player is this? [17:27] savvas: and what kind of help it is [17:27] ? [17:27] (so i can "rsync -someparams / /new" or something? [17:27] Did anyone know of a way to speed up flash? [17:27] n2diy: ok I'll try, ta [17:27] hello! I have a question.. can anybody tell me, why the open and close animations dont actualy animate, when i turn them on? I turn them on in the compiz settings manager! [17:27] roffe: flash works fine for me, you have somekind of problem [17:28] savvas: i can´t find teh developers on freenode? [17:28] Hello, I would like to have some help getting my Lexmark X75 to work... [17:28] i can't use sudo su command when i type sudo su this message appear sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666, should be 0440 [17:28] is there any svn client for gnome integrated with nautilus? [17:28] maggot: Yes, the playback stutters and is generally slow, but I thought this was common that flash-support on linux was crap [17:28] baber, just sudo the command sudo su is not the best way [17:28] DaveEngland: is compiz running? try compiz --replace [17:28] gubuntu, no; just some extensions to context menu [17:29] Can someone help me getting my ov518 webcam to work? I compiled and installed the latest ov51x-jpeg and the camera is detected but on camorama, xawtv, and camstream the only thing i can view is a flickering green screen [17:29] maggot, yes compiz is running! [17:29] roffe: i had problems with flash before, but the latest version was much faster and better [17:29] exit [17:29] maggot, other efects are working.. like the cube and the fire text and so.. :D [17:29] puremichael: how to add it?? any package?? [17:30] huh, some of my windows (kopete for instance) are not updating properly [17:30] maggot: latest version? You mean flash 10 or a later version of 10? [17:30] I have to click on the window again to get it to update [17:30] roffe: latest in ubuntu repos [17:30] anyone care to help me with par2 files? im trying to use kubuntu's kpar2 application and its finding the pars but failing to repair the file even though it knows the parity is available.... [17:30] maggot: I'm fairly sure I'm up to date now.. I'll check it up now though [17:31] DaveEngland: what is the response from --> glxinfo | grep direct [17:31] Jack_Sparrow: i need this command what do i have to do?

[17:31] baber, What exactly are you trying to do? Ask that as your question not just what command you want to use [17:31] gubuntu, yes, something like nautilus scripts and nautilus script manager... i would recommend to do a google search since i've forgot most [17:32] whileimhere: soundconverter i meant [17:32] maggot: Darn, it's the one I'm using [17:32] Jack_Sparrow: apt-get update [17:32] baber, sudo apt-get update wont work? [17:32] maggot: I have done that but soundconverter does not allow me to select a bitrate for wav [17:33] DaveEngland: ok, good. i think you just need to add the 'Composite' Extenstion to your xorg.conf file. do you know how to edit your xorg.conf file? make a backup of it first prior to editing it! [17:33] maggot: I have an infamous graphics-card though, I guess it has to do with it then..

[17:45] Jack_Sparrow: how else would i use it without a cd? [17:45] kapipi: try netstat -tulp [17:45] done. [17:45] Itaku, Read the wubi fact sheet [17:45] kantxx: just remember to turn updates off then after install [17:45] adil: put it in your home directory and run 'python gstequalizer.py' from terminal [17:45] nibbler_, ubuntu has its own encryption setup [17:45] ok [17:46] !install > Itaku [17:46] Itaku, please see my private message [17:46] lassesandberg: oh? i cant just disable updates for a specific package?

[17:47] bazhang: well, thought its good practice to include alternatives normally, like gnome/kde, 12 dozends of mediaplayers etc, and truecrypt also is the only crypting solution easily available on windows aswell [17:47] adil: now click the test button so you can test the equalizer in real time with an audio file [17:47] bazhang: but if there is no special reason for it to be excluded.... ok with me, too... just interested [17:47] What is a "pipe" in xorg?
