What do you need the sftp for? Use ftp, it would probably work :) You could also get used to the command line and commands such as scp and sftp :) [00:27] Dr_willis_, I know that, but I mean how do I launch the program to start on the remote display. As in I connect to machine B from machine A. I can get windows from B to show on A with -X, but I want to start programs on B by the ssh connection in A [00:27] savvas: it's my website. i don't host it, so the host gave me shell access through sftp.

[00:30] 900 that is [00:30] keres: you can use ftp in nautilus with the same way you use sftp: nautilus ftp://user@yourhost.com [00:30] Dr_willis_, I can only see "Samba Shares" inside of a "Open Location" box in KTorrent, but I can't figure how to access them any other way. [00:30] savvas: could not display, host not found [00:31] keres: sorry, was away. I would not advise that you use ftp instead, for obvious security reasons. [00:31] I've got a pavillion dv6000 here and an extern hdd, with a partition I use for ubuntu. I installed ubuntu but forgot to set the grub on that too so the grub is now on the main hdd from the laptop. After that I reinstalled ubuntu with a decent seperate boot partition on the right disk : but its an external one and it won't start but neither does the main intern hdd since it has a grub on it that is linked to an unexisting partition now. What can I do to f [00:31] keres: er.. did you change the "yourhost.com" and "username" to your host/domain and username? [00:31] and I don't have gnome file manager. I have thunar file manager, but can't seem to figure out how to access samba shares in that either. [00:31] savvas: yeah... [00:32] keres: Well, I believe there's no harm done in asking for an ftp account - it will help you stay on 8.04 :) [00:32] Brawling, kde and gnome both can browse for samba shares.. You coudl always enter the path directly //fileserver/sharename or mount them manually, or from fstab. depending on what youa re doing with them. Its often best to just Mount them to a local directory [00:32] Brawling, ive had nasty problems with gnome browsing shares. [00:32] Dr_willis_: Any gst experience? [00:32] Dr_willis_, So do you know how to do that? I remember it was Display=0.0; mplayer /path/to/file or something, just not sure. I want mplayer displaying on the remote screen. [00:33] anyone have experience with single board pc and ubuntu? [00:33] bobbob1016, you want the thing to run ON the remote screen then you may need to export the DISPLAY and use the 'xhost +' command [00:33] yogi192: single board pc? [00:33] Ok, this is a noobish question, but how would I go about mounting them to a local directory (and, as a recovering windows user, that would be analogous to "mapping a network drive" to a local file on a windows machine?) [00:34] anyone know what controls the association between the application that discovers when you plug a camera into the system and opening Fspot? my desktop opens the appelate window asking what application to use for the photos but there is nothing available in the dropdown box.

[00:34] aleksN^: yes.. virtual box [00:34] aleksN^: virtual machine [00:34] Brawling, the 'samba-doc' package has several books on that topic. and more samba goodness. :) you would either mount them from fstab, or use.. err.. i forget.. smbmnt command I think. :) [00:34] yogi192: yeah just websearched. I'd see what chips are on them and check the hcl [00:34] anyone can help here? [00:35] please [00:35] Dr_willis_, I want mplayer to run on the remote machine, just have my local machine control it. Basically, I want to have my ssh terminal act like it is one on the remote machine. [00:35] is there an app similar to iMovie for ubuntu?

I installed ubuntu but forgot to set the grub on that too so the grub is now on the main hdd from the laptop. After that I reinstalled ubuntu with a decent seperate boot partition on the right disk : but its an external one and it won't start but neither does the main intern hdd since it has a grub on it that is linked to an unexisting partition now. What can I do to fi [00:39] my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? [00:39] there is my situation [00:39] aleksN^: you can dual-boot, or run one in a virtual machine, but that's about it [00:39] ActionParsnip: I have tried ipconfig eth0 MTU 1500 but after reboot it goes back [00:39] ActionParsnip, if i have the drivers for this board, which was labeled for fedora linux, can it be used for ubuntu? [00:39] norcim122: http://www.debianadmin.com/change-mtu-maximum-transmission-unit-of-network-interface.html [00:39] but I wanna save what I did in this session [00:39] changes I made , installs I did [00:39] hi === zerwas_ is now known as peter4241 [00:39] Dr_willis_, I've been using Linux for a few years, I know case is important...... I know it is DISPLAY, just easier to type Display here, but I don't know the rest of the syntax [00:39] cheers. :-) [00:39] yogi192: should be fine as far as i can tell [00:39] how to upgrading ubuntu using .iso file [00:40] ? [00:40] I am looking for users with Dell notebook Vostro 1510 [00:40] Dr_willis_, As in "DISPLAY=0.0;" or what? [00:40] do anyone used the usb-creator tool to make a live-usb system ? [00:40] the "too hot" notebook. [00:40] norcim122: keep it lower case, linux is CasE SEnsITivE [00:40] ActionParsnip: I will try to help ziggy then try your link [00:40] bobbob1016, i think its DISPLAY=0:0 or was it 0.0 (try it and see?) [00:40] vostro1510: how 'bout vostro 1401 [00:40] norcim122: or you can put mtu xxx in the interfaces file [00:40] well. [00:40] Dr_willis_, I've tried both, no luck [00:40] ActionParsnip, thanks bro, im encourage to tackle this project, thanx [00:40] I am trying to solve problem with heating [00:40] any developer on-line? i really like to use ubuntu, but i have not enough time to search and fix troubles of this kind. i sincerely thanks some help. [00:40] 1401 is the same? [00:40] bobbob1016, X security maybe blocking it ', thats why i mentined the 'xhost + localhost' command earlier. [00:40] vostro1510: i have an hp dv8327 that gets a tad bit warm [00:41] i d like to know whether it is possible to install an ubuntu system from the live USB key created with usb-creator [00:41] and had an older dell inspiron 5100 that would burn your leg hairs off [00:41] hollywoodb; is it possible to run a program or something that updates the files that need to be updatet for my ubuntu 7.04, or is it a completely new os? [00:41] I am thinking about sending it back to Dell. [00:41] vostro1510: close.. but I don't seem to have a heating issue unless it's on my lap and I've plugged the bottom intake vents. [00:41] nocrim122: pm if you please [00:41] To hot [00:41] csc_: Yes [00:41] Mine is to hot. [00:42] vostro1510: if it sits in your lap, try arranging it so the intake vent on the bottom isn't plugged [00:42] hd is at 53 C [00:42] no [00:42] ziggy1: is this a new install? [00:42] it is on a table. [00:42] vostro1510: have you checked dells support site? or ubuntuforms.org [00:42] metal table. [00:42] yes [00:42] I read a lot [00:42] vostro 1510: i think that temp is normal [00:42] Tried with badvista too. [00:42] but my hands are really felling the heat [00:42] vostro1510: 53c for the hard disk isn't too bad in a laptop... that's about what mine runs at [00:43] Uau... [00:43] Anyone here no anything about hotplugging network cards -- udev? [00:43] mine when running ubuntu a little bit warm than vista [00:43] but your hand feels the heating? [00:43] Ubuntu runs great [00:43] vostro1510: not really [00:43] aleksN^: I'm not sure exactly what you mean. You can dist-upgrade, but it does require a reboot [00:43] update to 8.1 from 8.04 [00:43] using nvidia drivers. [00:43] works nice [00:43] Dr_willis_, What's the syntax of that? [00:43] vostro1510: what do you use to check the temp? [00:43] well, mine is heat [00:43] vostro1510: mine doesn't really feel the heat... hp got the shielding right on mine [00:43] udev? [00:44] well. [00:44] vostro1510: dell has a bad habit of using the keyboard shielding as a heatsink [00:44] yes [00:44] my touchpad is warm [00:44] hot is better. [00:44] see my trackpad's a bit warm but the keyboard's not [00:44] I wish there were a way to get this stuff to actually work the same way twice in a row. [00:45] the hard disk in mine's mounted directly underneath the trackpad [00:45] yes, mine too. [00:45] Hi, is there a program that allows installation of virtual systems (like windows?) I've seen a similar program on windows and mac tha allow using another operating system while logged in to windows or mac, can this be done in ubuntu and have a windows installation be accessed from a single window? [00:45] vostro1510: tell me this. put your hand on the upper left corner of the machine, where the screen meets the body. how warm is it? [00:45] Whennever I try to do something viaa the terminal, it tells me that I'm not root, but this is the account I made during the Ubuntu install [00:46] issa : VMware or virtualbox willl the trick :D [00:46] issa_: www.virtualbox.org [00:46] Whats up with that? [00:46] Letter_Z: use sudo [00:46] I did [00:46] aremay2: savvas are these programs free? [00:46] Letter_Z: sudo [00:46] Tidus [00:46] just like my touchpad [00:46] issa_: no games though, no directx fully supported yet :) [00:46] But I'm trying to open port 51412 and sudo wont do it [00:46] as warm as [00:46] dropboxd appears to be running, but nautilus isn't noticing it. Do I have to do something to Nautilus to get it to notice? [00:46] yes issa_ [00:46] issa: yes it is [00:46] vostro1510: so the whole body of the machine's warm? [00:46] Does anyone know how to use at? [00:47] no [00:47] right side is no hot [00:47] hollywoodb; If that is the best and easiest solution I'll do that. Will it delete som data? Will it update my ubuntu to the newest ubuntu? do you got an guide or howto for dist-upgrade? [00:47] savvas: aremay2 can they actually run sound and everything? [00:47] savvas: aremay2 and internet as well? [00:47] my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? xubuntu 8.10 [00:47] I don't about "and everything", but yes to internet and sound issa_ [00:47] aleksN^: in a terminal, run 'sudo update-manager -d' [00:47] *don't know [00:48] issa: Positive [00:48] aleksN^: if you're on 7.04 you're in for a LONG upgrade... 7.04 -> .10 -> 8.04 -> .10 [00:48] aleksN^: which version are you running? 7.04? [00:48] Anyone used VLC to open a stream from a site? [00:48] savvas: aremay2 : thanks [00:48] 7.04, yes [00:48] yes [00:48] you're welcome issa [00:48] vlc using a stream from url [00:48] aleksN^: you would want to upgrade to 7.10, then 8.04. You would want to keep 8.04 on your server since that is a LTS release, and will receive updates for a much longer time than a regular release [00:48] Anyone used VLC to open a stream from a site? [00:49] any way to get eeepc hotkeys working? [00:49] vostro1510: so it's just the trackpad and the back-left corner of the machine that gets warm to the touch? [00:49] So I just type sudo update-manager -d, and it will update itself to 8.04? [00:49] Is there a channel to discuss about notebooks? [00:49] yes [00:49] left side [00:49] near touchpad [00:49] aleksN^: it'll update to 7.10 first [00:50] ZellSF, have you tried looking at ubuntu-eee [00:50] aleksN^: then 8.04 [00:50] up keyboard too [00:50] tyranos: uh? [00:50] without removing my data on the disc? [00:50] I mean, left side in the keyboard area is hot too [00:50] aleksN^: i'd have backups, but it's generally safe [00:50] No I have ubuntu installed atm [00:50] aleksN^: it's called upgrade, not format :) [00:50] hey there. Anybody knows why commercial DVDs can't be mounted anymore on my system since I upgraded to intrepid? I'm getting "you're not authorized to mount [whatever]". manually mounting using sudo works, but the cdrom entry has just a very high number as owner and group, and I can't play anything :/ [00:50] Thanks a lot hollywoodb and Tidus =) [00:50] vostro1510: it just sounds like dell decided to use the internal shielding as a heatsink [00:50] I just need to get the volume control working [00:51] Uau [00:51] it is bad... [00:51] savvas: aremay2: So installing windows can also be directly from virtualbox? And do I have to create a seperate partition? [00:51] ZellSF, i have ubuntu-eee running on my eee it is the same as the nomal version but with only hardware drivers forr eeepc and everything works out of the box [00:51] too hot to use [00:51] I will talk to them tomorrow (Brasil) [00:51] Bought by phone. [00:51] vostro1510: what i normally do with my laptop is i have a couple of rubber pegs mounted to the backside, in the same fashion that a keyboard uses to tilt [00:51] installing another distrobution isn't an option atm [00:51] issa_: no, generally virtual machines create a file which they use as a virtual disk space [00:52] Transmission wont download torrents, I checked and port 51412 is closed, I did sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 --dport 51412 -j ACCEPT and it didn't work [00:52] Never thought it would be so hot [00:52] hummm. [00:52] back side is upper. [00:52] vostro1510: it lifts the back end off the table by a couple cm and allows more heat to escape out the back [00:52] ZellSF, well u dont have to , just check www.array.org [00:52] savvas; had to be sure ;p [00:52] but is it normal? [00:52] Is there any way I can fix that? [00:52] tyfoo2: that page tells me nothing [00:52] when copying to a mounted nfs share through nautilus on ubuntu 8.04.1 the complete file copies, but the dialog hangs at the end for a long time and it gives an error message saying that it failed to close the file, any ideas how to fix? [00:52] Man, I feel it hot. [00:52] My hands are hot too. [00:52] aleksN^: backup backup backup - better safe than sorry! [00:52] vostro1510: a lot of notebook computers have a small degree of tilt to them [00:53] <__MAV> How do I install g++ in ubuntu 8.10 ? [00:53] vostro1510: try my suggestion of putting a couple rubber pegs under the backside just like you would see on a keyboard to tilt it [00:53] Hey I'm trying to get bluetooth audio working with 32-bit wine apps and 64-bit alsa. It seems that most of the alsa modules exist compiled for 32-bits except the bluetooth module: http://paste.ubuntu.com/97945/ [00:53] sure [00:53] I will try it. [00:53] about 2 cms [00:53] ok? [00:53] Is there a package somewhere I can install to get a 32-bit version of that module, or am I going to have to compile it myself [00:53] <__MAV> How do I install g++ in ubuntu 8.10 ? [00:53] yeah [00:53] vostro1510: do you have the same problem while using other operating systems, say windows? [00:53] ZellSF, read carefully before doing anything , all u have to do is to add that repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then u get another kernel so u wont lose anything [00:54] Trying to figure out how to start a nautilus extension, since it didn't appear to have started automatically. [00:54] yes [00:54] savvas: so it does not matter what type of partition it is or wether it's used by other files or not, all that is needed are memory and space, correct? [00:54] __MAV, install the build essentials. It should be in there [00:54] Tried ubuntu, slackware and bad vista [00:54] bad vista is original. [00:54] came with machine. [00:54] well I'd rather just get the package that's supposed to allow the keys to work [00:54] vostro1510: and even with what came with the computer it just gets too hot to use? [00:54] nvidia gpu is at 55 C [00:54] hey there. Anybody knows why commercial DVDs can't be mounted anymore on my system since I upgraded to intrepid? I'm getting "you're not authorized to mount [whatever]". manually mounting using sudo works, but the cdrom entry has just a very high number as owner and group, and I can't play anything :/ It worked in Hardy :/ [00:54] yes [00:54] vostro1510: this is OK [00:54] <__MAV> thank you [00:54] noob Q... from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Virtual%20Hosts I am trying to set the mysql root pw "mysql -u root" and I've tried "sudo mysql -u root" too but I get error 1045 (access denied). what do I need to try [00:55] It is my first notebook. [00:55] Is it normal to work with hands em wrists hot? [00:55] vostro1510: i would have bought an HP or a lenovo [00:55] mine doesn't get nearly as hot as you are describing [00:55] vostro1510, 55C is actually pretty good, considering you're in brasil and probably not in an AC 'd room [00:55] ZellSF, well each approach should work the other kernel is just optimized for the eee [00:55] yes. [00:55] Brasil. [00:55] NO AC [00:56] 29C environment temperature. [00:56] <__MAV> sudo apt-get install build-essentials [00:56] <__MAV> Reading package lists...

[00:56] __MAV: it's build-essential, not build-essentials [00:56] if i put charge in Nvdia, it goes to 70-80C [00:56] <__MAV> Tidus thank you [00:56] well each approach *should* work, but installing eeepc-acpi-scripts just gives an error [00:56] vostro1510, West Indies here. When my comp was in a non AC'd room, 55C was "idle" tem [00:56] temp [00:56] <__MAV> yeeeeeeeee [00:56] issa_: well.. correct, and to install the virtualbox additions :) which is easy if you use windows as guest operating system (the o/s you are going to virtualise) [00:57] sammyF: 55C is full load temp on my lappy, lol [00:57] <__MAV> It's working [00:57] 55C in what Tidus? [00:57] GPU? [00:57] Is there a place I can get help with Sugar? [00:57] vostro1510: CPU and gpu [00:57] Tidus, yeah ... I was thinking about overclocking the CPU and GPU, and gave up when I saw the idle temperatures ;) [00:57] ZellSF, just read carefully you ll find out y [00:57] My CPU joes goes to 55 if I really put a lot of job. [00:57] normally it is at 35-45 [00:58] vostro1510: a suggestion: take it back and complain to the support about the hardware being too hot? :) [00:58] tyranos: I read carefully searched for it and ended up on the ubuntu bug tracker [00:58] sammyF: mine's a core 2 duo T5500, 34W power dissipation. HP decided to mount the cpu and gpu under the same heatsink on mine [00:58] Tidus, niiiiiiice ;) [00:58] vostro1510: those temps aren't too bad... just sounds like the hard disk is transmitting too much heat through the keyboard [00:58] vostro 1510 use just one heat sink too [00:58] yes [00:58] I think it too. [00:58] hey there. Anybody knows why commercial DVDs can't be mounted anymore on my system since I upgraded to intrepid? I'm getting "you're not authorized to mount [whatever]". manually mounting using sudo works, but the cdrom entry has just a very high number as owner and group, and I can't play anything :/ It worked in Hardy :/ [00:58] oh wait it's the ubuntu-eee bugtracker [00:59] sammyF: pulled it off and put arctic silver 5 on the cpu and gpu... haven't looked back [00:59] I will complain to Dell (try at least. Law here is not to effective like it should) [00:59] I will say that I need a notebook, not an oven [00:59] anyone know how to get amarok to recognize an ipod? The ipod is listed in 'lshal', and I can see the ipod in 'gtkpod'.. but amarok won't autodetect it.. and when I manually add it to amarok, it can't connect to it [01:00] vostro1510: if you have guarantee, then use it. it goes for hardware parts I think [01:00] Yes [01:00] Tidus, got a noctua cooler and paste on my Q6600 ... but I can still get it to 75C in no time if I start some stresstest ;) [01:00] I have. [01:00] http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/eeepc-acpi-scripts [01:00] And I will use it. [01:00] Or try. :-) [01:00] my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? [01:00] how am I supposed to install then when acpi-support-base isn't available? [01:00] If nothing helps, I buy a keyboard and everything will be cool :-) === zelda_afk is now known as zelda [01:00] I suppose nobody got any idea about my DVD mounting problem ten? [01:00] vostro1510: one thing you might end up having to do is getting one of those cooling pads for your notebook, the kind with a fan on the bottom to force cold air over the bottom of the notebook [01:00] any ideas why an nfs share would be hanging forever on a file move? [01:00] Just like you said, temperatures appears to be ok. [01:01] ZellSF, you have to add the repository to your sources.list [01:01] mv moves the first file then just sits there [01:01] tyranos: WHAT repository? [01:01] sammyF: could be libdvdcss went out of date [01:01] yes [01:01] sammyF: you'll need to update your medibuntu repo if it's enabled to point to intrepid instead of hardy [01:01] I thought about the coolers to [01:02] Man, Ubuntu community is friendly than Slackware one. :-( [01:02] I am a newbie to ubuntu. [01:02] :-) [01:02] vostro1510: everybody starts somewhere :) [01:02] vostro1510: welcome [01:02] But it is running quiet well in this Vostro. :-) [01:02] Tidus, so use libdvdcss from hardy instead? [01:02] So, [01:02] sammyF: no, the medibuntu repository for intrepid has it too [01:03] can I say notebook are really hot? [01:03] sammyF: check your sources.list and see if it's pointing the right direction [01:03] WIll I have to be acostumated with this hot in my hands? [01:03] I update today. [01:03] ZellSF, http://array.org/ubuntu/setup-hardy.html [01:03] vostro1510: mine doesn't get that warm, and if you get one of those cooling pads, it should reduce the amount of heat you're feeling [01:03] nocrim122: I"m back [01:03] the gentoo community are probably the meanest lol [01:03] I am surprised, because the process worked great. From 8.04 to 8.01 [01:03] Tidus, k. thanks. (next problem is that I just moved and I don't have any internet access on my main comp at the moment ... but I'm afraid nobody but my ISP can help with that ;) [01:04] Tidus, thanks :) [01:04] br0ken1: not when i'm in there :) [01:04] i went to a gentoo help channel about 2 weeks ago and they were flat out rude [01:04] tyranos: told you I would rather not do that. [01:04] I just discoreved that GRUB killed the Dell diagnostics ... :-) [01:05] i mean i'd take the blame if i did something that could have been taken the wrong way, but this time i didn;t [01:05] br0ken1, come on ... "RTFM n00b!" is a pretty friendly advice in some channels ;) [01:05] called me dumb for buying a USB dvd burner (which isn't smart, but it was just a temp fix) [01:05] OK, confirmed that the right files are in /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0 . It seems just to be ignoring them. [01:05] lol [01:05] I would appreciate help setting up file sharing - it used to work one way but not the other . Now it won't work at all. [01:05] sammyF: i've only seen that spouted off in #debian [01:05] Tidus, I was trying to avoid actually naming people ;) [01:06] gentoo has like an extra built-in n00b filter... installation [01:06] it's not as hard as some think, but it's definately harder than ubuntu [01:06] br0ken1: nothing wrong with a usb dvd burner... i have one attached to my notebook to enable direct disc-to-disc copies [01:06] br0ken1, well .. Ubuntu is linux for lazy people. On the other hand, personally I don't see any problem with being lazy [01:06] well the internal died on a comp i had, and i was in the process of buying a new one so i bought a $75 USB one for the meantime [01:06] plus it's faster than the built-in one [01:07] lol me either [01:07] i'm the laziest person ever [01:07] (Testing... is anyone seeing my messages here?) [01:07] ZellSF, sry didnt try normal ubuntu on my eee [01:07] jzitt, no? [01:07] so sammyF and Tidus, do u guys work in IT? [01:08] I am using Slackwar for a long time. [01:08] I am using Ubuntu too.

[01:09] dexi: you don't, you run it with java [01:09] dexi, java blabla.jar [01:09] im watching firefly right now [01:09] sammyF: thanks [01:10] tried installing ubuntu, hung up around 83% , sat like that for hours, now i'm tryign to do the rescue broken system, and now kernel hangs with checking hlt operation...

[01:23] dexi: Being as you're using KDE, you would find kdm more fitting for your needs. There isn't a substancial difference, apart from the number and sorts of packages you require; with GDM you need gnome/gtk libraries, with kdm you need k/qt libraries, which you probably already possess. [01:24] dexi: With kubuntu-desktop, you already have kdm. [01:24] If you've just run a program in linux and you want to know the exit status what can you type?

[01:28] it should not be a problem in default user.

[01:32] norcim122: thx, but i had to force mount it, but it workes, thx a lot [01:32] yoyit2: lowercase though, not capital G. the terminal is case-sensitive [01:32] nak: there's a difference between just a few words and an entire sentence being capitalised.

[02:01] Gnea, thanks [02:01] Jack_Sparrow yes, he was playing game...and I dont know what he did...but the screen went black....I think it is a resolution thing...because all is fine in recover mode....BUT that means nvidia driver not running.....

[02:39] Dante123, let me know what erros you get [02:39] i think you guys missunderstand me [02:39] hissing_sunhat, yep [02:39] when i do apt-get install freenx it has a ton of suggested packages it wants to install with everything else [02:40] aleksN^: okay, apparently there's something that has to do with old-releases that we need to figure out [02:40] how do i tell apt not to install all that other stuff [02:40] The_Rebel, rephrase your question, the answers you have received are right for your question [02:40] hi all [02:40] The_Rebel: but it doesn't install 'suggested' packages [02:40] ...that's why they're suggested. :) [02:40] The_Rebel, You mean the dependencies.. if you dont install them, your program wont run [02:40] oh i thought it did [02:40] thanks Gnea [02:40] Hi ziggyH. Welcome. =) [02:41] Gnea, you need the link for old-releases? [02:41] !ask | ziggyH [02:41] ziggyH: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:41] Jack_Sparrow: please [02:41] one sec [02:41] Gnea, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [02:42] ok? [02:42] Dinner is here bbl [02:42] so yes, trying the "Two Separate X Sessions" option was an epic fail [02:44] !GTK [02:44] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [02:44] so the cube works fine when I only have one screen [02:44] when I enable the second screen (twinview) the cube becomes an octagon and each octagon (one on each screen) has every desktop [02:44] aleksN^: check this out: http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-user/111092-upgrading-old-releases.html [02:45] I was on a website, blogtv, where you can watch webcams, and when I closed the window it made this skipping sound that wouldn't go away, so I closed firefox, then I logged out and it kept doing that, then I did /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop, and when I shut down alsa of course it stopped, but when I turned it back on it was back again, so I just restarted. Now I don't have any sound. [02:45] how do i install a GTK theme that I downloaded from gnomelook.org [02:45] hi everybody! [02:45] how do I stop this weird cube behaviour? [02:45] Hello everyone [02:45] !howdy | progre55 [02:45] progre55: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:45] Sorcererbob: what weird cube behavior? [02:45] !howdy | bbechdol [02:45] bbechdol: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:46] <|ntegra|> aaroncampbell: [02:46] my dmesg has been showing some exceptions as "[16664.696695] __ratelimit: 107 callbacks suppressed" and "[16664.696710] not enough headroom [12] for radiotap head [25]". what would that mean? [02:46] <|ntegra|> I KNOW an aaroncampbell [02:46] I was curious [02:46] |ntegra|: and? [02:46] I Love Ubuntu and I want to do something to give back to everyone that has helped me [02:47] Gnea: it works fine when I have a single screen; it has 4 sides and is wonderful. When I enable my second screen (using twinview via Nvidia drivers) each screen shows a "cube", which is fine, the problem is that the "cube" is actually an octagon. The octagon has all 4 of the desktops from each screen. [02:47] I am not sure whicih way to go [02:47] bbechdol, you could help me :) [02:47] bbechdol: you can idle in here and help other newbies out :) [02:47] * eseven73 accepts paypal bbechdol :P [02:47] !contribute [02:47] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [02:48] @ubottu thanks ill check it out [02:48] I was almost thinking about offering help in ubuntu-motu or ubuntu-devel [02:48] Sorcererbob: right, you've got 4 virtual desktops on both screens, thus giving you 8 altogether, and thus, an octogon. [02:48] but I have never programmed befor :) [02:48] hi [02:48] bbechdol, HElp in any area is always appreciated by all [02:48] on packages.ubuntu.com, it would be nice if it was possible to download a package and all of its dependencies as a single .tar.gz file [02:49] Gnea: no. I have 4 virtual desktops total [02:49] johnflux, That isnt going to happen [02:49] Gnea: each virtual desktop spans both screens [02:49] Jack_Sparrow: why not? I was thinking that it could use the LSB to know what to include === ShockUBT is now known as Staticshock [02:49] Sorcererbob: but you have 8 - the cube interprets each 'real' screen as 1 [02:49] Jack_Sparrow: e.g. so it doesnt include glibc packages etc [02:49] bjb [02:50] !cube | Sorcererbob [02:50] Sorcererbob: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

[02:52] I'm not able to find the original sources.list for ubuntu 7.04 [02:53] crf: I tried cancelling out of it and restarting it, but it got to the same spot again and locked up. [02:53] Well, I dunno if locked up is accurate.. the orange bar keeps moving back and forth, but nothing else is happening. CPU, network, and disk look pretty idle [02:53] Help me, I'm hurt, injured, possibly beyond repair. === inx-live is now known as mdg === sjr is now known as SJr [02:53] aleksN^, you edit your sources to point to that page === SJr is now known as SJrX [02:54] cheers Gnea. I'll let you know how I go [02:55] aleksN^, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [02:56] Hello. [02:56] Tidus [02:56] Jack_Sparrow; I'm not sure what you mean. I edited the sources.list ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades ) as said here, and Gneu sendt me a link from a forum where a guy says that after updating my sources.list, I should edit it back to my old souces.list [02:56] Uh, flash is making my computer run at 95 percent cpu again, joy [02:57] I was on a website, blogtv, where you can watch webcams, and when I closed the window it made this skipping sound that wouldn't go away, so I closed firefox, then I logged out and it kept doing that, then I did /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop, and when I shut down alsa of course it stopped, but when I turned it back on it was back again, so I just restarted. Now I don't have any sound. [02:57] just putting the back of notebook up didnt solve the problem. [02:57] I put a ventilador (rack ventilator) to flow air to notebook. [02:57] It helped a lot [02:57] But still hot. :FD [02:57] Gnea, You here [02:57] Im doing a complete recompile of my system (i was bored) using apt-build and am wondering. If I were to CtrlC it would it harm my system [02:58] I did the Dell test. Fans are wotking [02:58] Any ideas on my lock up on upgrade? I've been unsuccessful so far in my Google searches. [02:58] someone ping me? [02:58] Now, I am trying to correct my Ubuntu installation. It was crazy :D [02:58] 8.10 [02:58] Tidus did you have to have a show on Fox? [02:58] Lymies, make sure firefox/npviewer.bin aren't running. [02:58] 1.17 seconds Tidus [02:58] Just to say thanks em to inform results. [02:58] Tks [02:58] SJrX: huh? [02:58] Any Gnome/compiz users here? How can I add a desktop to compiz? When I enable desktop cube, only two workspaces are shown, instead of the 4 I have now? [02:58] Nothing [02:58] vostro1510: not a problem [02:59] anyone? [02:59] sorry, a feature. :-) [02:59] guys anyone have any ideas why in ubuntu 8.10 i get only static as audio with my hdmi cable?? [02:59] my nm-applet is not in the panel any ideas? [02:59] MikeH: The way I do it is to add the "workspace switcher" thingy to my GNOME panel, then right click > preferences, and set the workspaces to 4. [02:59] does anybody know how to install JDK update 11 on ubuntu? [02:59] Stormx2, still not working [02:59] I update my Ubuntu from 8.04, using 8.10 cdrom and cdromupgrade. [02:59] churl: right click on he menu and add it back [03:00] Lymies, killall pulseaudio? [03:00] MikeH, Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mous [03:00] I mean the menu bar [03:00] but it didnt worked (I think). Im 8.10, software updates didnt work, saying that was a problem with some packages... [03:00] Now, installing 8.10 from zero. [03:00] Newbie sucks. :D [03:01] I was using pulseaudio before, maybe if I switch back to just plain alsa it'll be fine [03:01] How do you switch back? [03:01] Jack_Sparrow: It won't let me change the value from 1. === fenris_ is now known as ejat [03:01] MikeH, Time for me to run.. but if it wont let you change that is a different issue.. [03:02] Lymies, personally I just have a script which kills pulseaudio on boot. pulseaudio is just a complete bastard generally. skype won't work with it. flash won't work with it. it blocks alsa, etc etc. if you can live without per-application volume controls (i can), just kill it as a startup prog. [03:02] mdg: i dont think i can do that, i believe this is part of a bug [03:02] Off to bed. ciao [03:02] happy new year everybody. i can't print, export pdf/postscript or other formats from many applications any more since i installed a bunch of musical notation progs. what can i do about this? [03:03] i cant run msn in wine [03:03] A friend of mine just installed Ubuntu on their computer. Their keyboard used in X as well as at terminal/console is strange. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. they have a standard QWERTY keyboard but the following keys result: Pushing "q" shows 5, "w" shows 6, "e" shows q, "r" shows ., "t" shows o and "y" shows r. I'm not sure what layout is being used or if it's a standard layout. How can I find out how to change the keyboard [03:03] cheers [03:03] regards [03:03] tks [03:03] mizery: num lock is on [03:03] perhaps? [03:04] gaelfx: nope [03:04] Err, my sound just stopped work. I can't kill pulseaudio either, not with 'pulseaudio -k' or 'killall pulseaudio.' I keep getting a 'startup daemon failed' error. Anyone know how to fix this? :( [03:04] I rebooted to make sure as well, and it is configured into the system somehow. It has been like this since installation from an 8.10 disk I gave him === obama is now known as Guest76110 [03:04] guys... in ubuntu my sound card is not sending sound to my computer.... im assuming its a problem with ubuntu 8.10... any delt with it? anyone have any ideas at all? or were else to look? [03:05] mdg: something about another session using nm-applet, ive read that it's a known bug in 8.10 but it seems like it should have been fixed by now... [03:05] mizery: Are you sure it isn't turning numlock on during boot? [03:05] does anyone know how to make virtualbox see my new wifi card ... I have a vm installed but it wont see the network now [03:05] LaBlua: let me check [03:05] I'm trying to upgrade this laptop from feisty to gutsy, using the update manager gui, and it appears to be hanging at the "Installing the upgrades" step. Nothing is displaying in the terminal, and none of the logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ have been updated in over 26 minutes. I tried cancelling and restarting, with the same results. [03:05] 1 [03:05] any ideas? [03:06] hrm, odd [03:06] I'm having a problem with SCIM, it appears that I have alternate input methods installed and enabled, but when I click the SCIM icon, nothing shows up, how can I get my alternate input methods working again? [03:06] what is the command for normal time [03:06] Whislt I have 4 workspaces, cube only shows 2 [03:06] how do I turn the wireless card OFF on my eeepc in ubuntu? [03:06] I tried disabling it in the bios and ubuntu just turns it back on [03:06] currently mine is set at [%H:%M] [03:06] would someone please take a look at this memory allcation error that I'm getting? you can see it here http://pastebin.com/m2027e7ba [03:07] Im not sure what I need to do in order to fix it.. I think its most likely a simple fix [03:07] ZellSF: Trying to just disable networking through it, or actually power it down? [03:07] actually power it down [03:07] LaBlua / gaelfx: I turned off NumLock before booting Ubuntu and it didn't turn back on throughout the boot. Reaching the GUI login screen the keyboard is still producing same strange results. [03:07] ZellSF: Hmm, sorry, I dunno how to do that. [03:08] churl, can you start nm-applet from the command line? [03:08] I have broken grub on my machine and can't boot. I had messed with the partitions, but basically the long short of it is, that Windows 2003 overwrote the bootsector, and even after fixing it, now all my linux installs can't seem to be able to find root [03:08] I was hoping disabling it in the bios would work === gustavo is now known as pelao91 [03:08] can someone please help me with the sound on Ubuntu 8.10 [03:08] mdg: i get an error [03:09] mdg: ** (nm-applet:21869): WARNING **: applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken.

It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [03:10] using weechat, ignores for join,quit are working but leave isnt. did the syntax change? [03:10] does disabling a wireless network card reduce power usage notably? [03:11] zellsf: no [03:11] hmm... I was using it till like a week ago and it just stopped [03:11] skeet0r yeah, there is an option in PHP for maximum memory usage, you passed it. However it also looks like a bug in the code, if it's trying to use 30 megs per connection, that'll be pretty bad. [03:11] how do i add songs to ipod using rythmbox [03:11] Gnea, I fixed it by changing an option in the compiz manager (under Desktop Cube). Multiple Output Mode (set it to multiple cubes) [03:11] !ipod [03:11] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [03:11] gah, I need the battery on this thing to last tomorrow [03:11] !ebox [03:11] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server.

[03:12] Would anybody know how to install a USB driver for a modem on Ubuntu? [03:12] SJrX: can someone please help me with the sound on Ubuntu 8.10 [03:12] i just think its crazy how I can see my Shared Ubuntu files over the network from a windows machine but I cant see the Shared windows files from Ubuntu. But I see the windows shared files on the network when im on another windows machine. Ubuntu just wont let me see the shared windows drives on the network [03:12] it shows me the machine name but when i click on it nothing is there. but if i go to my Xp machine and go to the shared files on vista they are there so i know they are shared [03:12] SJrX: you think that it is definitely a code error an there is no way to fix it by editing a configuration file or something? [03:12] ZellSF: as in, a full 8 hours? good luck on any laptop [03:12] mdg: nope [03:12] ConstantineXVI: no as in a full two hours [03:12] hey, can someone please help me out? my dmesg has been showing some exceptions as "[16664.696695] __ratelimit: 107 callbacks suppressed" and "[16664.696710] not enough headroom [12] for radiotap head [25]". what would that mean? [03:12] I hear the drum in the beginning , then when i log in I hear no sound [03:12] kerri that's not a question, what about sound, can you not mute, can you not get any volume? What kind of audio do you have. [03:13] skeet0r, well it depends on exactly what happens. [03:13] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [03:13] i wouldn't be here [03:13] cyberjuice: Are you using the same account name on the XP and Vista machines? [03:13] I can't get SCIM to switch to any different input methods even though they are installed and enabled, can someone help me figure out what's going wrong? I suspect something is screwed up in the preferences file, but I'm not sure where it is or how to correct it once I get there [03:13] how can I determine what exactly is going on? [03:13] skeet0r, sometimes it's legitimate for a script to use that much memory, like if you are importing a bunch of data. However if that happens when you are trying to setup like phpBB then it's probably bad. [03:13] lablua - yes [03:13] But I need to know exactly what you are doing to produce that error, it could be a bug in the script, or malformed XML, or a bunch of things. === nosa is now known as nosa-jj [03:14] Hi.

[03:15] theUg: 1 kernel prior to the current one, no need to keep them past that [03:15] skeet0r, hmmmm you'd have to know PHP and the code to know how to fix it. You might try asking on the projects IRC channel, forums or mailing list. I would guess it's a bug, unless your query is ridiciolously long.

[03:40] Doonz: firestarter could do that for you. [03:40] Help please! My computer detects my network card, but I cant connect to the internet. [03:40] whyameye very similar but the point is that THIS PC did at one time detect the new monitor the same as the other pc...but after my kid screwed up resolution and I had to use recoevery mode to reconfigure x....well now it thinks this monitor is crt [03:40] Doonz, im sorry ipchains is old, new one is called iptables [03:40] ok what would be the easiest way to do it [03:41] * Doonz is very new with linux [03:41] How might I test my built-in microphone on an iMac? [03:41] doonz: go to google. howto iptables [03:41] werLd-: why not firestarter? It's super easy. [03:41] Dante123: have you restarted X yet? That always fixes the problem for me [03:41] werLd-: or firestarter? [03:41] Hmm [03:41] werLd- should't it autodetect the correct monitor if it did before (I even uninstalled nvidia driver then reinstalled it- same problem) Is there not a way to force autodetection again [03:41] Dante 123 [03:42] just ctr-alt-backspace npope ??? [03:42] neer just connect to him using him as the getaway and for him network properties advanced : allow user to connect... [03:42] Dante123: yes [03:42] ubuntu rocks!! [03:43] How might I test my built-in microphone on an iMac? I've not found any software that'd use it. [03:43] npope, I will try that...but rebooted a couple of times and that didnt help....would't ctrl-alt-bkspace do the same thing??? [03:43] Dante: guis and auto stuff will most likely just modify xorg.conf anyway, your probably better off pulling it out of the working config, but do what u want [03:43] Roums: I want to connect in wireless mode [03:43] Dante: cntl alt backspace just restarts the X server [03:43] the X server reads off the xorg.conf file [03:43] Dante123: if the reboot does not help then restarting X wont have an effect. [03:43] so unless you change that file, its not going to do much [03:43] werLd it's not so much do what I want...but do what I can.....editing x config files gives me the heebie jeebies [03:43] neer you won't be able to do it i guess, unless you made an ad hoc connection between your 2 computers, and he should not be connecter to adsl with wireless [03:44] Dante123: make a backup, cp -p xorg.conf xorg.bak [03:44] then you can modify xorg.conf at will [03:44] Dante123: I was going to suggest before that if the machines are practically identical you could try copying the xorg.conf file from the working one and try it on the broken one. [03:44] npope exactly, so what other options are there [03:44] venger http://pastebin.com/d737394cd [03:44] whyameye might try that....

[03:53] boy im a newbie [03:53] compiz doesnt add anything very useful tho, aside from looking cool [03:53] just type man bash in terminal [03:53] the coolness wears off fast [03:53] skooz: bash is the command line interpretor [03:54] eseven73 i don't really it too but I wanted to try some "cool features" to make my own opinion of it, and it screwed up all my config i guess :) [03:54] Can some recomend me a pci wireless card that works with ubuntu with little to no hassle?

[03:55] Turns out I understood it backward. I thought that if I set the sink on one machine to the network device, then played stuff on the network device machine, the other machine would play it too. I see now that the opposite is true - if I play stuff on the first machine set to use the network sink, it comes out of the network sink. How can I use the network sink and local sound card simultaneously? [03:55] mhmm i saw some nice themes using compiz and 3D [03:55] omny_devi: me, it works just fine. [03:55] omny_devi: how do you use conpiz to manage vm's.. doesn't make sense to me. [03:55] skooz: what are you looking for? [03:55] Mr_Bunny...I am on the wiki. What is the wine tree?

[03:56] anthony: use links -g [03:56] right now i just want wine to work so i can play my copy of cod4 [03:56] fosco_: thanks [03:56] Anyone know any good apps that'll put system information on your desktop in plain text?

[03:57] eseven73: maybe because he has the fire plugin and can "burn" the win vm when closing.. :) [03:57] < my name is Anthony btw. [03:57] @Mr_Bunny, on the wiki it says "You can make these links in a temporary folder within the wine tree. " [03:57] Does anybody know how to figure out whats wrong with a Ethernet card? [03:57] followed by about 40 links that need to be made, i just dont know what the wine tree is, heh [03:57] omny_devi: you're compiling from source? why bother? [03:58] what problems are you having with the card Chris_Chase? [03:58] krazed: conky [03:58] @Mr_Bunny - I want call of duty 4 to work on it [03:58] omny_devi: that means within the wine source code directory you decompressed [03:58] Hmm [03:58] omny_devi: you're compiling git or something? [03:58] isn't there a way to fetch a webpage from the CLI? [03:58] The_Rebel, my computer detects it but I am unable to connect to the internet [03:58] I just did a sudo apt-get build-dep wine [03:58] hmm, are there any actual pro's to using ubuntu64 [03:58] so far [03:59] omni_devi: in terminal cd to the wine source directory [03:59] m00t: ty [03:59] anthony: you want to display it like FF? use w3m or elinks.. there's lots more too.

[03:59] & I can't install it [03:59] anthony: sudo apt-get install lynx or elinks or whatever cli browser there is. [03:59] ataq: you can recompile the kernel with SMP support or perhaps load a module for SMP [04:00] felipe_: yes they have DVD ISO's [04:00] Dante123: did you try system -> admin -> nvidia X server settings? There's an auto for resolution and refresh there. [04:00] I'll try again, but any install I atttempt errors out on me [04:00] is /usr/local/bin deprecated on ubuntu ? [04:00] anthony: sudo apt-get install links2 [04:00] anthony: use all lower case [04:00] @Mr_Bunny - Negative. Just did that build-dep and that is it so far. Before I can compile I need to make a lot of links so the compile doesn't fail. But it said to make the links in the wine tree, which I have no idea what that is [04:00] anthony>> wget http://filez/file.zip if you just want to pull files off a website [04:00] hey all [04:00] I [04:00] let me try that eseven73 [04:00] I'm trying to use Brasero to make a dvd [04:00] werld: but can I record a CD iso to a DVD and make it work?

[04:01] anthony, you will still need a browser to view them in [04:01] omni_devi: Right. In terminal, cd to the root of the wine source that you extracted. run pwd, and replace the 'pwd' in the block of link commands with the output. run it.

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 [04:01] read that [04:01] :) [04:01] using a wget I receive a "network unreachable" [04:01] like my gw is not installed [04:01] anthony: then how are you chatting with us? [04:01] mylisto: its that key you keep pressing [04:01] when I do a route [04:02] @Mr-Bunny - Thanks! On it :D [04:02] ah ok... [04:02] I'm on a different computer rlogin to my newly installed server [04:02] hehe [04:02] how do I create a virtual pulseaudio device to output to a network sink and the local sound card simultaneously? [04:02] I'm trying my best to learn [04:02] Just wondering if anyone knows how to burn a video dvd using the video_ts folder in Brasero? [04:02] mylisto: try to keep as much as possible on one line, it helps the folks in the channel better track the questions you are asking [04:03] anthony, most of us are learning right along with you. [04:03] but, you can only bang your head against the wall so much [04:03] mylisto: install k3b .. it's much easier and more reliable. [04:03] thanks mdg....that makes me feel better [04:03] I just downloaded a command line Ubuntu distro called INX - all command line with tutorials for the basics [04:03] anthony: is your server using dhcp? static ip? [04:03] k3b? [04:03] ewww...I like that [04:03] anthony: what is the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces ? [04:03] let me check [04:03] ok..thanks [04:03] mylisto: sudo apt-get install k3b [04:04] venger - see http://pastebin.com/d518380c7 [04:04] Mr_Bunny_, ask in #pulseaudio [04:04] venger: I am [04:04] installing... [04:04] is there a way to paste that info here? [04:04] can k3b do video dvds? [04:04] Nautilus won't let me double click to open a folder. I have to right click and select to open it. How do I fix this? [04:04] mylisto: yes.. [04:04] venger: the only one who has joined/left that channel is you, so I hadn't re-asked. [04:04] !pastebin [04:04] 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) [04:04] !pastebinit | anthony this might be easier [04:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebinit [04:04] what's a good GUI browser with few deps? [04:04] thanks scunizi_: [04:04] O.o [04:05] mylisto: it's actually a kde app but it's the defacto standard [04:05] got it...hang on [04:05] im learning C++, but i need a compiler to use with ubuntu i just installed ubuntu, any suggestion?

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 :) [04:07] installing it no stovicek [04:07] ok ... I admit it ... I don't like change ... but it's time to upgrade ... I've been on FC5 for a year now and I need to upgrade ... FC changes too fast and at times is too unstable ... is it possible to upgrade to (k/g/x/?)ubuntu as painlessly? [04:07] mnthatnkx for the help [04:07] bye [04:08] looks like it doesn't support CSS [04:08] which means it's worthless. [04:08] mr-rich: you might be able to do it pretty painlessly if your /home is on a separate partition.. just do a fresh install and don't format /home [04:08] for viewing anything but pure HTML anyways.. [04:08] anthony: INX [04:08] thanks mdg...I need to look at that === exodus is now known as exodus_ms [04:09] !tab [04:09] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:09] @Mr_Bunny - Thanks, you are a scholar and a gentleman, the links worked flawlessly. Thank you :) [04:09] anthony, its a live cd [04:09] been trying to get this for about 3 days now [04:09] mdg thanks... [04:09] tab complete is for more then just IRC [04:09] mdg, I'll try that [04:09] anthony, your welcome :) [04:09] it works with any program compiled with tab complete support as well [04:10] jensor, you think you had ran something that mucked up that secret's file? i' haven't ran into a user related access on that file and it don't have to exist to use smbclient [04:10] scunizi_: /home is a seprate partition ... the main reason I want to upgrade is the latest OO won't upgrade from 2.3 on FC5 ... I may want to add some memory to my box before I upgrade, though ... [04:10] what is the /set command to underline registered nicks? [04:10] Is there a goo way to not make ubuntu intrepid kill applications uncleanly? [04:10] to* [04:11] Mr_Bunny_, was that link good? === walt_ is now known as walt [04:11] mr-rich: you might want to wait until this next april when Jaunty comes out. That will have Oo 3.x installed from the get-go I think. [04:11] anthony: yup, you're dhcp. what about sudo ifconfig ? [04:11] Mr_Bunny_, let me get that [04:11] scunizi_: Jaunty == 9.0? [04:12] Mr_Bunny_, wait, sudo ifconfig? that just changes my IP, no? [04:12] venger, Not that I know of. I can do a paste of the smb.conf to pastebin if that would help. [04:12] mr-rich: Jaunty = 9.04.. first number is the year the next is the month [04:12] anthony: no, it prints out connection information, I think [04:12] Mr_Bunny_, aahhh...ok.... [04:13] mr-rich: 6 months between releases and 3 years between LTS releases [04:13] jensor, why dont you temporaily rename the smb.conf and possibly secrets.tdb since we are troubleshooting access from this server to another for the time being [04:13] Scunizi: aha ... interesting version scheme ... will 9.04 be an LTS release? [04:13] 3 years? i heard 2 [04:13] jensor, and stop the smb daemon temporarily [04:13] mr-rich: no 8.04 was LTS.. [04:14] Mr_Bunny_, pasted again.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/98034/ [04:14] mr-rich: most releases are timed to come out after the latest gnome release.. doesn't always work out that way but the attempt is there. [04:15] Venger, Okay, I'll let you know when tahts done [04:15] scunizi_: will OO 3.x be available for older releases? [04:15] jensor, if you git things fixed then we can paste the smb.conf and what not to see if some setting is affecting expected functionality [04:16] scunizi_: and does the Ubuntu team prefer Gnome over KDE? [04:16] Amd or Intel [04:16] !best | Tekno [04:16] Tekno: 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. [04:16] mr-rich: occationally they will backport some of the newer packages of the most used programs but you can never bet on it. They are gnome oriented but there is a kde branch [04:16] :P [04:17] LaBlua / gaelfx: I found in /etc/default/console-setup that XKBVARIANT="dvorak-r" What is yours set to? qwerty? [04:17] voting is a no no here Tekno :) [04:17] hi every body [04:17] exodus_ms, that tut taught me a couple commands and what they do but it did nothing to help me resolve me problem :( [04:17] Id like to find all sockets on my Ubuntu computer. But '~$ find / -type s "*" 2>/dev/null' does not produce any output. What did I wrong? [04:17] Chris_Chase: cool, what is the problem? [04:18] hello [04:18] well my computer detects the modem but i cant connect to the interenet. exodus_ms [04:18] i mean it detects the network card [04:18] Chris_Chase: what have you tried so far? [04:18] guys, do u know what irc command can i use to get a list of all the channels? [04:18] anthony: okay... you have an ip... can you ping your router or something else on LAN? [04:19] scunizi_: is the KDE branch well supported? I used to prefer Gnome, but it became harder to configure w/o editing config files, so I switched over to KDE ... [04:19] I'm attempting to write to a file on my Windows partition, which I think is NTFS. I can write to certain files but not others, but there appears to be no difference in the permissions of the files; "ls -l" shows both a writeable and unwriteable file as "-rwxrwxrwx 2 root root". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Does this error make sense? [04:19] Mr_Bunny_, yes, I can ping everything inside my network [04:19] I have prob. with blue video screen . the pic. running but the color blue . ny help blz [04:19] Hi, mp3 playback gone in past month, totem stops only on mp3, VLC visualisations play but no sound un and reinstalled ubu restricted but no joy [04:19] Chris_Chase: is this wired or wifi? [04:19] fabio: /list [04:19] well ive been all over forums and such, and i wouldnt really know what ive tried cuz this is actually my first day with Ubuntu, and its wired exodus_ms [04:19] Mr_Bunny_, it makes me think it has something to do with DNS [04:19] thanks werLD [04:19] anthony: any chance that your router is restricting outside access for that machine? have you tried pinging IPs on the internet? [04:19] Mr_Bunny_, am I chatting to you correctly? [04:20] anthony, yes [04:20] Chris_Chase: which version of buntu [04:20] the latest desktop version [04:20] ethereality: yes, you need to install a ntfs tool [04:20] I have prob. with blue video screen . the pic. running but the color blue . any help blz [04:20] Mr_Bunny_, yes, I have tried to ping from my server...should I put it on my DMZ? [04:20] I have prob. with blue video screen . the pic. running but the color blue . ny help plz [04:20] mr-rich: it is.. it's called kubuntu. but there is a transition from kde 3.5.x to 4.x.x which is pretty huge.. typically kubuntu and ubuntu have their LTS release at the same time. Because of the kde transititon this last time they didn't. [04:20] mr-rich>> at the end of the day any window manager is gonna need some sort of editing of config files, even the fancy pretty ones like KDE [04:20] Chris_Chase: you were asking before how to know if a nic aas gone bad? This card worked before you installed ubuntu? [04:21] Where can I find a reference to acceptable or standard values for XKBVARIANT in /etc/default/console-setup? [04:21] ethereality: try installing ntfs-config [04:21] exodus_ms: yes it worked before, and im using 8.04 LTS [04:21] I have prob. with blue video screen . the pic. running but the color blue . any help plz [04:21] is there a website that has wireless card drivers in .deb format? [04:21] scunizi_: I got an error when trying to burn a dvd [04:21] anthony: that shouldn't be necessary [04:22] I see many posts in forums referring to "mac" but the system is not a mac [04:22] anthony: no reason to [04:22] der [04:22] got a write error [04:22] Chris_Chase: ok, so it is not 8.10, cool [04:22] bullgard4: if you drop the stderr redirection you'll see you're getting an error from find [04:22] anthony: might as well try it though [04:22] how do you handle a lockup? Samba still works, sshd works, only thing locked up is the GUI. [04:22] Mr_Bunny_, will do [04:22] bullgard4: try 'find / -types' [04:22] mylisto: use the slowest speed you can. [04:22] Anybody here have an HP Pavillion DV9000? I am *PRETTY* sure that bluetooth is supposed to work "out of the box", but hcitool dev is not displaying any devices. [04:22] bullgard4: sorry... 'find / -type s' [04:22] will that prevent it? [04:22] also should I do a 'test run' first? [04:22] Tapout: ctrl+alt+backspace restarts the gui [04:22] Tapout, kill X and restart it [04:23] I have prob. with blue video screen . the pic. running but the color blue . any help plz [04:23] Tapout, easiest is to ssh in and run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:23] any cli cmd to check mp3 playback? [04:23] hello [04:23] mylisto: don't know if that will prevent it or not.. doing a test run first might keep you from ruining dvd's [04:23] cntl+alt+backspace is ignored, trying to gdm restart [04:23] ukubuntu: vlc plays mp3s, try that [04:23] Chris_Chase: did you Go to Sytem > Adminstration > Network, choose your connection, then click on Properties, and change the configuration to Automatic?

Also see !patience [04:24] vlc shows visu but no sound Mr_Bunny_ [04:25] I feel sad with ur reply [04:25] nickrud, funny thing is... I ran that, it restarted.. yet the screen is still frozen [04:25] I'm using openbox ubuntu.. how do I make ctrl+alt+del to shutdown system? [04:25] Tekno>> i think openbox has some sort of .keys file...... [04:25] hey scunizi_: and scunizi: I'm pasting the output [04:25] exodus_ms: still nothing [04:25] Can I not hibernate ubuntu without a dedicated swap partition= [04:25] ? [04:25] Tekno: ctrl+alt+del doesn't shutdown the system.. ctrl+alt+backspace restarts the gui or you can ctrl+alt+F2 and log in and type sudo shutdown now or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:25] Fahad, had the screen been all right before? [04:25] Tapout, heh. try sudo killall X [04:25] walt: correct [04:25] Chris_Chase: do you have a router? [04:26] yes [04:26] Tekno>> most likely you're gonna have to edit .keys manually, go to openbox's website im sure theres a HOWTO for that [04:26] exodus_ms: yes [04:26] okay [04:26] walt: and it must be > size of your ram [04:26] hi there. ok got ubunto 8.10 booting offa usb fine with unetbootin. struggled dong this with opensuse. [04:26] Chris_Chase: DHCP enabled? [04:26] Tapout, change that, sudo killall Xorg [04:26] mdg = yes [04:26] Fahad, had you made any changes to the system? [04:26] yes [04:26] exodus_ms: well i have a modem i dotn know if thats the same thing, and how would i check if DHCP is enabled [04:26] how do i determine if the installation contains 'Mono ' ? [04:26] Fahad, what kind of changes? [04:26] i install 32 bit [04:26] Chris_Chase: the modem is what you recieved [04:27] bachage [04:27] Chris_Chase: sorry, the modem is what you recieved from your ISP [04:27] jtaji: I know that. But is it not possible to define a swap file on my primary ubuntu partition? [04:27] scunizi_: KDE needs far less editing ... [04:27] exodus_ms: my computers connected directly to the modem via Ethernet [04:27] walt: it must be a partition, not a swap file [04:27] venger i stopped the daemons and renamed smb.conf and secrets.tdb [04:28] Chris_Chase: okay, how are you connected to the Internet right now? [04:28] Fahad, what package did you have before 32 bit? [04:28] hey scunizi_: and scunizi: here is the debugging output... [04:28] mr-rich: well.. not really..they're about the same.. just depends on what you are doing. [04:28] http://pastebin.com/m23df8e1b [04:28] jtaji: thanks, that's what I was asking. Not I know [04:28] Now* [04:28] Chris_Chase: ISP do MAC filtering, so if that was plugged into another comp and working, then u plugged it into another comp [04:28] Mr_Bunny_, even putting that ip on the DMZ of my router I still get a network unreachable [04:28] jtaji: Thank you very much for your help. -- I wish you a happy new year 2009. [04:28] Mr_Bunny_, no matter what I do [04:28] i installed 32 bit package and me sys. 64 bit [04:28] Tekno>> yeah most light weight window managers like openbox , fluxbox, icewm, etc use .keys .menu and a few other files like that , theres a few GUI apps that can do that too, but you have to install them. [04:28] exodus_ms: i am on a seperate computer running windows vista [04:28] you may have to spoof the MAC address in order to pull a IP address from DHCP [04:28] me =my [04:28] Chris_Chase: so you have a router as well? [04:28] anthony, had you updated the server install? [04:29] exodus_ms: no its a laptop with wireless [04:29] mdg, thats where I got stuck at [04:29] anthony: wow, that's confusing [04:29] jensor, check if you get visibilitiy of the xp share [04:29] mdg, it was that step that led me to this room [04:29] Chris_Chase: understood, but where is the signal coming from, do you have a wireless router? [04:29] Chris_Chase: does your ISP do MAC address filtering? [04:29] ukubuntu: try installing the pulseaudio plugin for vlc [04:29] Mr_Bunny_, :( [04:30] Is there any window manager/script I can write/anything that would let me control my startup sequence in detail? As in controling exactly what application starts in what desktop etc. [04:30] sounds like you have an apt-sources.list problem or something [04:30] exodus_ms: my internet comes from my modem, and yes they have mac address filtering [04:30] mylisto: sorry no idea what any of that means.. someone else will have to help with this one. [04:30] or perhaps a GPG key [04:30] anthony: I take it you've tried rebooting and sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ? [04:30] I was wondering if anyone could help me with a wireless problem? [04:30] mdg, should I redownload 8.10 ubuntu server and do a fresh install that way? [04:30] mdg u left me :) [04:30] Fahad, how come you want to use 32 bit on a 64 bit system? [04:30] Chris_Chase: I wasn't the one asking about MAC filtering, but you may need to "add" your ubuntu computer's MAC address so that your ISP will allow a connection for that computer [04:30] Mr_Bunny_, let me try that [04:30] by wrong [04:31] scunizi: also...I only get one writing speed [04:31] which is auto [04:31] exodus_ms:how do i do that [04:31] Fahad: by wrong? [04:31] Chris_Chase: are you using ADSL [04:31] Chris_Chase: plug the cable modem into the working computer, then from cmd line, type: ipconfig /all 2. write down the MAC address 3.) log into your router and manually put the MAC address to be the one you just wrote down 4.) plug the cable modem into the router, it should be able to pull IP from DHCP [04:32] exodus_ms: im not sure if im using ADSL [04:32] right now I wanna unistall 32 bit and install 42 package . how ? [04:32] werLd-: he say he doesnt have a router... [04:32] I was wondering if anyone could help me with a wireless problem? [04:32] wo de zui ai [04:32] Chris_Chase: type 192.168.2.1 into your browser [04:33] I can use system encryption with Ubuntu with dual-boot? [04:33] Chris_Chase: does the modem plug into a telephone jack or does a round tv type cable screw into the back. [04:33] Fahad, you mean you want to install 64 bit Ubuntu version? [04:33] exodus_ms: then he cannot spoof easily, so he will need to call isp and have new MAC address added so second computer can pull IP [04:33] !english | whlcer [04:33] whlcer: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only.

Typically, on a windows machine, there is something that is installed that does that dial in connection for you when you access a browser. If you have a router, then most routers have the ability to do the dialing in right from the firmware of the router. [04:51] exodus_ms: would you know how to get the driver onto the computer without a connection to have it work via USB? [04:51] ok, I did that and ran the update, came up with the same error telling me to manually run it [04:51] werLd: yes i hav eanother connected to it [04:51] anybody know how can i enable qt ssl support? [04:51] Arenlor, because when you ran grep, it became a process that is listed with ps, so it grep'd itself [04:51] heh, looks hectic in here [04:51] command to copy one thing from one place to another? [04:52] Arenlor>> im not for sure, but i think its 'aux' not 'ux' or maybe there is no difference, try it anyways :) [04:52] DiiPhantom: cp -p file [04:52] cp -R [04:52] Chris_Chase: if you are using a wired connection I don't think a driver would be necessary [04:52] werLd: modems connected thourhg a phone line, and the computers connect directly to the modem [04:52] Arenlor, because 'test' is on that line and its what your grepping for [04:53] ty [04:53] werLd: this is his modem --> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13415363 [04:53] Is there any way to not have the grep `word` line not show up?

[04:57] Chris_Chase: troubleshooting network issues can be confusing (for lack of a better term) in a chat environment. If you are unable to find a resolution here I would suggest searching ubuntu forums and then posting your own 'detailed' thread. Sometimes that works a lot better if you have the time to wait :) [04:58] venger, what do you mean jj-nu resolve correctly? I don't know what you mean by "redo the share" [04:58] darkblue_B: yes it is libgio-fam [04:58] grep for a digit space then test instead of test maybe? [04:59] exodus_ms: lazily, I'll point you toward a blog, http://www.iheartlinux.com/?s=speedstream, far as i can figure it is an ethernet router "modem" that just forwards the port [04:59] jensor, 1) does ping jj-nu return the correct IP address 2) properties on folder, click sharing, click do not share apply, then share apply ...

[05:39] how to play nexuiz yaar..........???????? [05:39] riz0n, show me your procmail on http://paste.ubuntu.com if you will [05:39] I think I fiugred it out.

[05:40] nickrud: is it theoretically possible to hack me, without my knowledge? [05:40] FaithWallis: happy with it now or need/want any more help? [05:40] I have displays drivers installed, but when moving and resizing windows, they move very jerkily and slow, not at all fluid. Why would this be? [05:40] arlenor: ai am sorry sorry for bugging you [05:40] ac3_0f_spad3s, it is, _if_ you run services facing the net, or run a program that installs a rootkit. If you only install from the ubuntu repos, your chances of getting hacked approach zero [05:41] I am having trouble getting *bluetooth* working on 8.10. I have a dv9000 HP Laptop. I found people having similar issues here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284982 So I posted at the bottom. Does anybody here have this laptop or any suggestions for me? [05:41] Bud93: why would it matter? if you are behind a nat router you're pretty much OK [05:41] nickrud: I basically took the "example" file and modified it. Here is the pastebin. http://paste.ubuntu.com/98075/ [05:41] how to kill running process from shell? [05:41] FaithWallis: please excuse the misunderstanding, I'm not saying you're bugging me [05:41] mayank use ps to find out what process it's using and then use kill XXXX where XXXX is the process number [05:41] nickrud: by the way the comments in the file says "Mails with a score of 15 or higher" however I changed it to 5 in the procmail file. [05:41] arenlor: I just feel completely stupid for not trying it before coming in here [05:42] FaithWallis: I've often come in here to ask a question and right before asking it thought of something to try [05:42] nickrud, i dont think anyone really installs EVERYTHING from the ubuntu repos. so if i install something from an outside source does that mean i can get hacked? [05:42] Arenlor: thank you. :) [05:42] earthmelon, how to play nexuiz...?, its always hangs..i have to logout my ubuntu.. [05:42] riz0n, is dovecot using using maildirs or mboxes? If you're not sure, you should be able to see in /etc/dovcot/ conf file [05:42] mayank I have no idea what that is [05:42] nickrud, do the ubuntu repos include medibuntu? [05:42] its a game [05:43] Arenlor: this is SO cool. first time I've used it. [05:43] FaithWallis: do you know how to open a terminal? [05:43] its start fine but when i click start game its hangs,, i have to logout(ctrl+alt+f2) [05:43] nickrud: I am pretty sure I'm using maildirs. [05:43] ac3_0f_spad3s, if you stick with reputable sources, like medibuntu, getdeb, or are referred to a ppa by an ubuntu dev. [05:43] arenlor: not yet, but I'm working on getting thru the tutorial at the ubuntu site. [05:43] anybody see my problem please??? [05:44] hey guys is there anything like xbmc for linux, that isn't xbmc? [05:44] myth has too much TV-related overhead and elisa is too buggy [05:44] insta: boxee [05:44] Cros13: i am behind router... well, main issue is ips can be traced and i want to obsure location and have plausible deniability [05:44] FaithWallis: Alright, after that if you have any questions let me know, I was going to show you how to customize what is known as Compiz, which contains for example the "Desktop Cube" [05:44] Bud93: don't we all. :) [05:44] Bud93: then use tor === Daisuke-Ido is now known as Daisuke_Ido [05:45] riz0n, then you need to use the maildir addressing in your procmailrc . A sec [05:45] nickrud: please tell me what happens if i download something from a unreputible site [05:45] anybody see my problem please??? [05:45] insta: need a boxee invite? [05:45] tor slows everything down too much to be useful for everyday things... and i don't think i can use tor for irc easily [05:45] cros13: maybe, i just want a program to be a shiny frontend for my fileserver's videos directory [05:45] Bud93: find a neighbor with unsecure wifi? :\ [05:45] ac3_0f_spad3s, it's possible to get a rootkit. Not very likely though. [05:46] Arenlor: I will probably definitely want to know hwo to do that....my main reason for doing this is I got a box at my parents' house that they didn't want...it was complete trashed but I figured I could see if I coulkd get Linux to run on it ...I also want to see if I can get my Windows-based PE-Design software (for a Brother sewing machine) to run on it to dedicate this box in my sewing room [05:46] rizon. haha have one.... probably a honeypot setup [05:46] lol... call me paranoid but i have done it myself [05:46] Bud93: use a proper list of nodes. look for the exit nodes marked fast. restrict your exit to those nodes. [05:46] Bud93: hehe I have a nice little collection built up here too. Living in town is always nice [05:46] anybody see my problem please??? [05:47] I am having trouble getting *bluetooth* working on 8.10. I have a dv9000 HP Laptop.

Does anybody here have this laptop or any suggestions for me? === root is now known as Guest83754 [05:47] cros13, didn't even know i could do that, actually... i haven't even tried tor under linux yet. i guess i should. mayve there's options i didn't know were there [05:47] insta: boxee is pretty cool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxee [05:47] I have never used Tor either [05:48] boxee is dope [05:48] riz0n: surprisingly most people here have secured networks but there is one unsecured... i was experimenting with backtrack 3 live last night [05:48] Could someone confirm for me that in 6.06 (LTS version) the mime-database is in /usr/local/mime?

[05:48] hey guys any torrent downloader for linux which has schedulin in it....... like utorrent..?? === eightyei1ht is now known as eightyeight [05:48] didn't get too far but i suppose there could be some bits and bytes to catch with a sniffer [05:48] FaithWallis: to get a Windows (in here you'll here it called M$, Doze, WinDoze, or the like btw) program to run you should try Wine. To get the Compiz stuff you can go to Application > Accessories > Terminal (the command line) and type in "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" then enter your password. After that go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig [05:49] Bud93: The wireless DSL modems that Verizon ships to its customers only support WEP as security. Guess its a good thing I live in an area that is Verizon served ;) [05:49] FaithWallis or you could try Virtualbox ^_^ [05:49] I'm trying to setup Butler. I installed it with ruby gems, but when I run 'sudo botcontrol setup' like the guide says, I get a 'sudo: botcontrol: command not found' And $PATH isn't showing my gem-bin. Any ideas how to fix this? [05:49] Bud93: i use tor for high bandwidth stuff all the time over tor. Tor is not perfectly secure remember, if enough of the nodes are owned you can be tracked so remember to use secure protocols through tor when you can. [05:49] Question. i have gedit open..when i click on another file, another instance of gedit opens, instead of a new tab on the instance i have open. why? [05:49] riz0n: lol... lucky for Veriozn customers. hahah.... as if they weren't already getting screwed. :p [05:49] FaithWallis http://lifehacker.com/367714/run-windows-apps-seamlessly-inside-linux [05:50] riz0n, do you have a dir Maildir in your home dir?

[05:54] good Q, robert__ [05:54] riz0n, no. I've set up the proper path, in the $MAILDIR variable: giving procmail a full path works best [05:54] where is weasel browser now? [05:54] gerber: download it from limewire.com.. i think they have .deb files there.. [05:54] might not be good for printing though, robert__ [05:54] lstarnes: I'm trying to compile a plasmoid, which give me an error with ssl... those are the packages that i should reconfigure?

[06:33] SJr|Nbook: I have wonderered if squid might be just as good. I hear the squid defaults aren't good for proxying .debs, like you need to increase the time till files expire, and increase the maximum file size it will cache [06:33] Arenlor: hah [06:34] hi, i'm using the PCSX emulator in intrepid, how come the movements are so fast? how do i slowed it down?

Current question is sound related for me. I have glitchy sound. When I play music through rhythmbox it starts nice and gets jittery in a few seconds - and gets progressively worse. Different applications react differently, but they all eventually go jittery. System sounds are jittery too. CPU idling around 8% usage.

I'll set it to alsa now [07:09] Sorcererbob: ive noticed this prob with Pulse; just remove it [07:09] Sorcererbob: Well, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [07:09] Then sudo apt-get install esound [07:10] and you should be good to go, might require a quick reboot //not sure on the latter. :p [07:10] outbackwifi: right now i have the dns on my windows box pointing directly to the isp's dns servers [07:10] using XChat-GNOME; Can I not add another server that is not on the list already? [07:10] well the thing is that it was working earlier... then I started mucking around with ndiswrapper (this is a fresh install) and made a bunch of other changes which I can't remember. rebooted... and it doesn't work [07:10] I doubt that's related Sorcererbob. [07:11] fair enough. I'll remove pulseaudio. One moment [07:11] Try it, I've had the pulseaudio issue on 3 of 3 ubuntu systems. [07:11] Doonz: if youve enabled direct dns queries to go through the iptables that would work; otherwise just use the ubuntu box as a forwarder [07:11] hi all! i m facing speed problem while surfing on firefox on ubuntu 8.10 [07:11] gregor, I know that the gnome version is rather dumbed down, so i haven't used it in years...

[07:17] SeveredCross: sorry didnt get u [07:18] ...Is your disk activity light blinking a lot?

[07:18] Doonz: easiest way is to install dnsmasq [07:19] or will that just allow me to us the ubuntu ip as the dns server ip [07:19] Doonz: how are your boxes behind the ubuntu getting their IPs? [07:19] indian_munnda: Hmm. [07:19] SeveredCross: it blinking @ very low rate [07:19] Doonz: outbackwifi took the words out of my mouth [07:19] I have no idea, I'm not a Firefox expert.

[08:26] darkrubicator can you private chat with me [08:27] Come Dual Core is by far better even better than a 3.6ghz P4 [08:27] mayank if the p42.4 is just a 2.4 chip, it depends on what the dual core is, if it's a 2.0Ghz dual core, then the 2.0ghz dual core is better. [08:27] mayank, ig u can buy 2.4 dual core ahead if not 2.0 [08:27] haha duke_ ok, one sec. [08:27] mayank, if u can buy 2.4 dual core go ahead if not 2.0 [08:27] mayank: P4's are pathetic - even the Atom is probably beter... [08:27] P4 Prescott died on me lasweek [08:27] what is the problem with flash in ubuntu? [08:28] no...i have p4 2.4 and planning to buy dual core 2.0, thats why i am asking, saler..

[08:28] k0d31: there is no problem i know of [08:28] mayank , 2.0 [08:28] mayank: Just go for the Dual Core Bro...Its better then the fastest p4 aka 3.6ghz [08:28] miranda_psi: i downloaded free and non-free plugins it didnt work [08:28] mayank: any processor you can buy these days is better than any P4 [08:28] ok duke_ [08:28] darkrubricant: here is the website I used --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tilp/+bug/49251/comments/9 [08:28] go back into synaptic, type in your password. [08:28] Alright [08:28] and search for TiLP in the search [08:29] then [08:29] people this is not a processor channel please go offtopic [08:29] !offtopic [08:29] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[08:29] hey ppl [08:29] Alright, I searched for TiLP [08:29] click on the box next to tilp or tilp2 you could even do them both, mark them for installation then click apply. [08:29] miranda_psi: on firefox? [08:29] hey who is a windows genius here [08:29] outbackwifi, could you assist me with a graphics driver problem? [08:29] but i already i already have ubuntu installed, if i transfer my hdd(80gb) to new pc, my ubuntu will run or not, that is the main question [08:30] TiLP 2 is greyed out, it's already installed [08:30] darkrubicant: i could try [08:30] !windows | rshakin [08:30] rshakin: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [08:30] i know but they are not very helpfull [08:30] k0d31: yeah - is the problem you are having on all flash or just some? [08:30] and dual core has no agp slot, i also have to sell my 256mb nvidia...:( [08:30] rshakin: nevertheless, if your question is a Windows support question, it doesn't belong here. #ubuntu is only for Ubuntu support. [08:31] ok outbackwifi, I posted a pastebin earlier could you find it please. [08:31] mayank,use backup software it is make image for ur system [08:31] I need to resolve that problem. with glxgears and glxinfo [08:31] which one? [08:31] miranda_psi: i downloaded the "suggestions" made by ubuntu society all but non-free (adobe) and it worked but always hangs during play [08:31] My computer cannot find the appropriate driver for my monitor nor my video card. I also installed the nvidia graphics driver however I don't think it installed correctly [08:31] !backup | mayank [08:31] mayank: There are many ways to back your system up.

[08:33] k0d31: the open alternatives do have problems - some things work, but others don't. So I use the proprietary one from adobe (which is now finally 64bit) and don't experience any problems [08:33] I'm having trouble booting from an ubuntu dvd. my computer will boot from cds, but no dvds work. I tried the ubuntu dvd on another computer and it works fine. any suggestions? [08:33] ValentineXX: once you install it just type iftraf in a terminal because you probably wont have it in the menu. [08:33] tsmith: do you have a dvd drive at all ? [08:33] bo,port forward [08:34] tsmith: Firmware upgrade? [08:34] outbackwifi: web server port [08:34] eseven73: yes thanks for telling that i am new at ubuntu [08:34] outbackwifi, here is the pastebin I posted earlier, thank you for your patience and your willingness to try and tackle this problem. [08:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/98135/ [08:34] yw [08:34] outbackwifi: yes, i have used dvds with this drive before. [08:34] bo: do you mean you want to change document root to /home/user? [08:35] outbackwifi: i mounted dvds in gentoo all the time, but i cant seem to boot off of one [08:35] can someone tell me... what exactly is WPA-None? is it the only way of using WPA with ad-hoc? [08:35] darkrubicant: TiLP 2 is greyed out, it's already installed. Should I uninstall it and then reinstall it? [08:35] miranda_psi: the usual installation step by step like install instructions from adobe site? [08:35] outbackwifi: yes [08:35] duke_ remove the usb connector from your computer, restart the computer boot into ubuntu then plug in the usb cable again and tell me what happens please. [08:35] Alright [08:36] By usb connector, you just mean the cord, right? [08:36] yes [08:36] alright [08:36] k0d31: I just did it from firefox, but downloading it from adobe and following the instructions will work as well [08:36] hey im running the latest version of ubuntu [08:36] so... anyone have any recommendations for a bittorrent client? I'm having problems with transmission and my last foray into azureus dragged all sorts of problems concerning vuze along with it [08:36] and i cant get my [08:36] wireless to work [08:36] gbear try ktorrent [08:36] gbear14275, deluge [08:37] looking for something with a gui, ktorrent have one?

[08:37] gbear14275, yes ktorrent has a gui [08:37] so does the default bittorrent client that comes with ubuntu. [08:37] gbear14275: azureus [08:37] Transmition [08:37] darkrubicant: that's Transmission, which gbear14275 is having problems with ;) [08:38] miranda_psi: maybe it sounds stupid but it doesnt work to me i tried both ways of installing adobe system tells it is installed but it simply doesnt work and firefox is still asking for him and when i try to install it system tells it is installed [08:38] is my computer cursed? [08:38] gbear14275: rapidshare or megaupload are faster than torrent shit [08:38] for it* [08:38] kelvin911: azureus now has vuze attached to it, and i've tried it twice, without vuze worked great! with vuze was a mess the standalone updater went horribly [08:38] how do i check? [08:38] k0d31, are you talking about flash through adobe? [08:39] kelvin911: I would love to know where you got that assumption [08:39] gbear14275: i have azureus without that vuze thing [08:39] ethan you don't know what type of wireless card?

[08:45] darkrubicant: yes that means you dont have hardware acceleration [08:46] darkrubicant: so what is your card and what driver are you using for it? [08:46] could be the unmounting issue [08:46] seems this thumbdrive stops responding when i select "unmount" [08:46] outbackwifi, My card is a 7950 GX2 and I'm using the latest driver from nvidia's site.

[08:47] hey bazhang, hows it goin? [08:47] is there any particular reason my pc keeps telling me i have insufficient privileges to mount a usb drive? [08:47] darkrubicant: It's USB, that's pretty much all I know. When I was using it on Vista, it came up down the bottom right, some stuff about found new USB device, and then TI-Connect would run, but I don't know what the interface is really [08:47] where is the pok gai bazhang [08:48] ok Duke_ there's a possibility it might be there, but you don't know where it is?

[08:50] alex__: Reinstall [08:50] !cloning | alex__ [08:50] alex__: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [08:50] how can I determine what is using /dev/audio? [08:51] duke_ most things don't come up automatically in ubuntu, you have to look for them. [08:51] anyone with experience on ~/.gvfs/ mount points? [08:51] it's possible it could be waiting for you to work with it. [08:51] Duke_, you should check in places and under computer and see if a new device has shown up. [08:51] miranda_psi: there is no plugin directory here [08:51] Flannel: cool, i was hoping i could do something like sed s/x86/amd64/ -i /etc/apt/sources.list; apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade [08:52] could anyone tell me the reason my pc keeps telling me i have insufficient privileges to mount a usb drive? [08:52] alex__: Nope, unfortunately its not that simple [08:52] darkrubicant: nope, just CDROM and Filesystem [08:52] Flannel: but thanks for the very helpful answer.. later!

[09:02] I'm not sure how it happened, but the last thing I did was moved the XP boot (dual boot) so that it was the first item in the list, and I installed NVidia drivers. I rebooted and XP is now hiding under everything :O [09:02] Hummm, No audio, But i did hear the startup sound ubuntu plays, Any ideas? System/Prefenances/Sound/-Test sound doesnt play anything.

[09:06] lol LeeJunFan. [09:06] k0d31, well or any deb for that mather [09:06] Here's my xorg.conf http://paste2.org/p/123512 -- I have a radeon 3850 & two vx922 viewsonic monitors. I'll paypal someone $25 for helping get these work :) [09:06] from deb [09:06] and from sources [09:06] k0d31, you can check for the installed files for the package in synaptic then [09:07] k0d31, (or aptitude if you use CLi only) [09:07] Ward1983: it says its installed but it doesnt work it installed wrong [09:07] k0d31, yes check the installed files, it will tell you every single file it installed, so you can find the dir it intslled too that way [09:07] :s duno how i can be more clear [09:08] Ward1983: ok [09:08] k0d31, from deb AND from sources? [09:08] Ward1983: yes [09:08] k0d31, from deb AND from sources?

[09:11] k0d31, that way you should be able to find the dir, and you can try to make a symlink to the right dir like miranda_psi suggested [09:12] Ward1983: miranda_psi: why should I create sym links cant I just copy the files? [09:12] bashca: it will get updated automatically everytime an update is released [09:12] how do I make my function buttons work again? [09:13] alright downloaded deluge and i can only downloard 1 torrent at a time... this is very odd [09:13] outbackwifi, i have problem on it i need to reinstall it ??? [09:13] suigeneris: it depends on the laptop make/model [09:13] bashca: what kind of problems ? [09:13] outbackwifi, toshiba a200-1m4 [09:14] is there a way to enable guest session from the screen saver in gnome/ubuntu? [09:14] no one [09:14] suigeneris: there should be scripts inside your acpi directory for that laptop [09:14] k0d31: copying the file in just won't work - symlinks redirect to the files location (in this case the plugin will need to interact with the other files and wont be able to if you copy it) [09:14] k0d31, so the files stay in the place apt installed them, and you wont waste diskapce, and you wont have the risk that other stuff depends on the files beign there, etc etc etc [09:14] k0d31, its just the best way [09:14] outbackwifi, /etc/acpi? [09:15] outbackwifi, i can't connect to net using eth1 or eth0 ... [09:15] suigeneris: yes [09:15] in my upper panel bar with the networking icon why there is a red examination sign where my all networking is ok? [09:15] I can't get my murrine theme to work, using hardy. This is the theme I'm trying to install: http://tr.im/2tx0 And this is what it looks like installed: http://tr.im/2twz [09:15] outbackwifi, when using modem and disconnect and plug the cable it will work ?? [09:16] outbackwifi, how do I use these? [09:16] ValentineXX: isnt that the update-notifier? [09:16] bashca: are you using wifi or ethernet? [09:16] both [09:16] suigeneris: there is a script called hotkeys which maps to your fn keys. this script gets called [09:17] bashca: both at the same time? [09:17] hi all. what is the fastest way to install skype? [09:17] for some reason the .deb I grab from the site doesnt work [09:17] hateball: wait [09:17] package keeps saying its corrupted or that i dont have enough perms [09:17] F: go to skype and download the deb and sudo dpkg -i skype-xxx.deb [09:17] even though I chmod 777ed it. [09:17] F: there is ubuntu deb [09:17] outbackwifi, the problem single way to get connect when dial up and reconnect using ethernet [09:17] f: sudo [09:17] or wireless [09:18] hateball: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/308334/Others/Temp/Screenshot.png [09:18] F try chmod 644 on it, then call gdbi, or just click on it from the file manager [09:18] outbackwifi, there is no script there called hotkeys [09:18] bashca: im totally lost. what do you mean by "dialup"? [09:18] when I do that I just get [09:18] dpkg: error processing skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb (--install): short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/share/skype/avatars/Skype Candy.png') [09:18] but dpkg -i should have worked [09:18] outbackwifi, but if try to connect with ethernet or wirelees first .. it will not work [09:18] thats the error i get when I try to run dkpg -i on it. [09:18] F: i installed from deb and installed automatically [09:18] k0d31: in synaptec? [09:19] ValentineXX: hovering over it should tell you why it thinks somethings wrong [09:19] F: no [09:19] k0d31: from where? [09:19] F: i will find site for you wait [09:19] k0d31: i appreciate it, thanks. [09:19] hateball: nothing it tells [09:19] Is there a decent C++ RAD for Ubuntu? Or is it possible to implement Glade with g++? I've never understood how to do that. [09:19] pixelfairy: that doesnt work, I get a corrupted/file perm error... [09:19] blah569: anjuta [09:19] i know its strange. [09:20] ValentineXX: probably just some display bug then :) [09:20] hateball: once there was my networking cable error which was making networking disconnect again and again since that time it is there but my cable problem is fine now [09:20] outbackwifi: Thanks, will try it. [09:20] F: check the md5 after you download [09:20] b9d52200951c4b55c224fd3b1776fd2a skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb [09:20] hateball: i do not like bugs [09:20] is that right or not? [09:20] hello [09:20] outbackwifi, it's difficult to explain .. dialup mean when using mdsl usb zte with gnome-ppp program [09:21] kiosk: still hello hi? [09:21] ValentineXX: Report it on Launchpad [09:21] hateball: ok [09:21] outbackwifi, there is no script there called hotkeys [09:21] F: check that against the md5 on the site where you downloaded [09:22] where do they give an md5 though? [09:22] i have never seen an md5 on skype.com [09:22] suigeneris: in my laptop i have a script for each event. like eeepc-hotkeys.sh [09:22] I can't get my murrine theme to work, using hardy. This is the theme I'm trying to install: http://tr.im/2tx0 And this is what it looks like installed: http://tr.im/2twz [09:22] My Rythembox and 'Movie Player' doesnt play my music, it says its playing, but then the progress doesnt move and i dont hear anything. [09:22] and or eeepc-wifi-toggle.sh [09:22] My Skype and my startup sounds work thou. [09:22] Any ideas? [09:22] suigeneris: make sure that acpi is running [09:23] suigeneris: sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart [09:23] outbackwifi, it's running [09:23] Hi, I want to set up ubuntu on a new machine and am wondering how much swap I should use.. My machine has 4 GB ram and I never use a suspend function, so what's reasonable? [09:23] outbackwifi, but how do i get hold of this hotkeys script? [09:24] hateball: in launchpad there they asking in which package did you find this bug, what is that package? [09:24] douwe_, 2gb afaik [09:24] suigeneris: whenever you press any hotkey, you should get acpi messages in /var/log/acpid [09:25] ValentineXX: nm-applet [09:25] douwe_, 2 GB is enough [09:25] suigeneris: no idea about your laptop; i could help you with the eeepc though :) [09:25] Hello. How could I change the MAC address of the LAN card. [09:25] ? [09:25] 2? seems a lot for a system with 4 gigs of memory.. but I guess I can spare it [09:26] F: i got it here u are : http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Skype-Download-68.html [09:26] douwe_, you don't have to spare any actually, but it's good to play it safe ;) [09:26] ahh:) [09:27] using ftp command can i upload a directory? what is the syntax for uploading a directory? [09:27] kestutis, sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:15:xx:xx:xx [09:27] hello guys [09:27] bony: turn on recursive and use mget [09:27] i need ur opinon [09:27] bony: turn on recursive and use mput [09:27] sorry [09:27] f:( [09:28] between awn and cairo dock, which one is better? [09:28] k0d31: what? [09:28] !best | aremay [09:28] aremay: 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. [09:28] nothing [09:28] douwe_: I would try without swap :) If a program start gobbling memory, swap is generally just painful. And you can use a file for swap if needed later [09:28] outbackwifi, it's difficult to explain .. dialup mean when using mdsl usb zte with gnome-ppp program [09:28] how to i get stuff from my tivo to my computer? [09:28] F: i thought u have gone [09:28] thanks [09:28] outbackwifi, I have a hotkey-setup in /etc/init.d/. is this what I am looking for? [09:29] hateball: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/313157 [09:29] thanks, and how to set the programs or the proccesses which should be started on the Ubuntu-system start-up? [09:29] suigeneris: i guess so [09:29] hateball: in my gnome start up sessions the command for applet is nm-applet --sm-disable [09:29] How do i reinstall sound drivers? [09:29] I think there stuffed. [09:29] for example, i don't want Apache to be started automatically. [09:29] outbackwifi, do you wanna see the contents? [09:30] Every option in prefencez/sound dont work under the 'Music and movies' sound playback. [09:30] kestutis: use sudo update-rc.d remove apache2 [09:30] any ideas? [09:30] ChaoticGood: rpg? [09:30] hello, when i would like to develop for nautilus, is this possible? [09:30] suigeneris: i can send you my acpi scripts and you could tweak them for your laptop [09:30] i can do it by command-line only? [09:31] kestutis, is this a server install or a workstation? [09:31] outbackwifi, that would be great [09:31] kestutis: yes; for the gui you need to go to System-Preferences-Sessions [09:31] it's a laptop with Gnome :) i don't learning Unix line system. [09:31] Unix-like systems* [09:31] yo yo yo [09:32] kestutis: though i dont know if that works for the /etc/init.d scripts [09:32] kestutis, you can try system > administration > services [09:32] kestutis: ah thats it. tx sarmisak [09:32] outbackwifi, n.p. ;) [09:32] * outbackwifi needs to learn to use the GUI [09:32] hey [09:32] ActionParsnip1: welcome [09:32] back again! [09:32] anyone know how to audio working in skype? [09:32] mylisto: wb [09:32] outbackwifi, yours was correct also, though it's per user not systemwide [09:33] mylisto, works great ;) [09:33] miranda_psi: Ward1983: thx for help [09:33] ok... [09:33] when I try callign I get [09:33] mylisto, is this a notebook? [09:33] sarmisak: tx [09:33] problem with audio capture [09:33] mylisto: check skype options\sound devices [09:33] yeah..its a laptop [09:33] using the hda drivers [09:33] oh maybe u know the problem with unblocking user in skype i cant do that [09:34] outbackwifi, ok i tried it but i get an error message saying that i don't have permissions. but when i try to uploading single files they get uploaded [09:34] hey, i have gparted and one HDD which is formated as ext3. how is it possible to part away a part of this ext3 (which fits in the rest of y hdd at the moment) and make it ntfs? i have ntfs tools installed, but the "New" button in gparted is deactivated [09:34] i blocked and cant unblock the option doesnt work [09:34] mylisto, ok, I had the same situation with my samsung, there are two different inputs available, if you are using the microphone installed near the keayboard then you should enable mic front [09:34] is there a bug in linux skype? [09:34] bony: i would use an advanced ftp client like ncftp [09:34] !info ncftp [09:34] ncftp (source: ncftp): A user-friendly and well-featured FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:3.2.1-1 (intrepid), package size 490 kB, installed size 1104 kB [09:34] mylisto, if not and you are plugging in a microphone to the socket next to earphones, you should select mic [09:34] !info filezilla [09:34] filezilla (source: filezilla): Port of the famous Win32 graphical FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.2-0ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 1038 kB, installed size 2652 kB [09:35] is that the default? [09:35] k0d31: unblocking worked fine for me [09:35] I can't find system > administration > services, and System-Preferences-Sessions doesn't should Apache as starting proccess, but it really starts automatically. [09:35] mylisto, it changes, just try changing some settings 'til you get some sound from your mic [09:35] k0d31: got it. thanks! [09:35] mylisto, you can use audacius to record first and see which one is working for you [09:35] F :) [09:35] but now there is a problem. my sound doesnt work! i dunno why. [09:36] I am using a Dell Mini 9. [09:36] heres the deal [09:36] I'm not actually using sound [09:36] any ideas what I can check/do to get my sound working? [09:36] re [09:36] I need to call this lady to see her webcam [09:36] anyone knows how to disable reverse dns for rsync? [09:36] as I am about to hypntoize her [09:36] with text... [09:36] and no sound [09:36] mylisto, what's the problem with that? [09:36] what? [09:37] F: run lspci, it will tell you what sound card you have. you can websearch from there [09:37] I've got a problem with audio playback error message [09:37] outbackwifi, ActionParsnip1 well i want a command like tool not a gui one i use gftp for gui. [09:37] bony: the terminal has ftp features for command line ftp [09:37] bony: ncftp is your friend [09:37] hm, is it possible to change the size of the main partition on which linux is installed? (mountpoint: /) when i try to unmount it with gparted he says that he cnt unmount it and propably soething else is mounted on this partition, but there is nothing anymore [09:37] mylisto, you might try to be more specific on your problem maybe [09:37] I try to call her === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [09:38] and the call doesn't go threw === decay_ is now known as decay [09:38] I get "problem with audio playback" [09:38] mylisto, might it be a router setup problem? maybe your router doesn't like skype [09:38] ActionParsnip1, outbackwifi ok thanks a lot for the help i will check out ncftp and give a try. :-) [09:38] hi, how is called package which handles "command not found"? [09:38] no router [09:38] I had it working like two days ago [09:38] I want to try out Ubuntu on my Mac to see if buying the Mac was indeed a good choice, however i do not want to damage anything on the Mac while i do want to try out Ubuntu to it's full experience. So that means somewhat installed, but also not. [09:38] How? [09:38] Holy crap Compiz is a buggy piece of garbage. [09:39] DragoraN: its the shell [09:39] just found it [09:39] :) [09:39] DragoraN: what command is not being found? [09:39] Doonz: hey got it working. [09:39] command-not-found [09:39] torrent paused: disk read error, slot has no storage [09:39] installed like a breeze [09:39] Elladan: yep, imho its worthless [09:39] mylisto, ok, have you tried changing the settings in system > preferences > sound? [09:39] i have a problem tho, how can i set a static ip address and dns. [09:39] doesnt anybody has a idea ow to change the size of the ain partition (mounted on /)?? [09:39] mayank: how much free space do you have on the partition where you download torrents to? [09:40] nope [09:40] mylisto, try changing some of the settings there, maybe you should specifically select "pulse audio" for output. [09:40] GreenDelta2: boot with the livecd and then use gparted [09:40] GreenDelta2: boot to live cd, you can use gparted to resize [09:40] ok ty, i read that its not possible to use gparted on a live system. [09:40] ActionParsnipl, 57.6gb(enough for download) [09:40] ill try it, thx very much :) [09:41] how you check the status or determine the outcome of a crontab job? [09:41] How do i reinstall with apt-get? apt-get reinstall errors no such option. [09:41] trying to reboot [09:41] seeing if that helps [09:41] :( [09:41] Is there a official tutorial on how to install ubuntu to SSD? [09:41] I mean seriously, here are the complete and utter garbage bugs I've found just trying to use it at all: 1. Change screen resolution -> compiz explodes, whoops, ctrl-alt-bs. 2. Flip viewports around with keyboard shortcuts -> Compiz crashes about 10 times a day doing that with one of my video cards. 3. Mouse handling with zoom -> totally broken in so many ways. 4. If I leave Compiz running for a couple days on my work machine, I c [09:42] kamera, log it maybe? add "2>&1 >> /var/log/some_log_file" to your cron line [09:42] kamera: it comes as a mail to the user who requested the job [09:42] ActionParsnipl, 57.6gb(enough for download) [09:42] Eugene_: any specific laptop? for the eeepc theres a separate distro [09:42] torrent paused: disk read error, slot has no storage [09:42] syntax\: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [09:42] lo, how can i manually configure a static ip and dns? and also what should i do to auto mount ntfs partitions? [09:42] thanks [09:42] outbackwifi can you be more specific i havent added any email in my cron file [09:43] thanks flannel. :) [09:43] How do i reinstall with apt-get? apt-get reinstall errors no such option. [09:43] outbackwifi no im usnig a transcend SSD in my regular computer. [09:43] kamera: generally the result of the cron job is mailed to the root user [09:43] I mean shit, didn't someone actually check whether Compiz works with the "Screen Resolution" config tool (as opposed to, say, exploding in flames) before making it the Ubuntu default? W.T.F. [09:43] mayank: then i'd run an fsck on the partition, make sure you are downloading to the large partition. If you have made a small partition and are accidentally downloading there it will fill the partition nicely [09:43] mayank: you can check disk usage with df -h [09:44] Elladan: this is support channel, not rant channel [09:44] outbackwifi but i havent set up a mail server on my ubuntu box? [09:44] Can Someone help me install Skype on my darter 76? [09:44] Eugene_: ive installed it to an SSD without any special tweaks other than no swap [09:44] Elladan: Please watch your language [09:44] Elladan: if you dont like it, don't use it [09:44] olà [09:44] Elladan: i think its garbage and use fluxbox instead [09:44] outbackwifi i try to run a daily mysql optimization [09:44] kamera: then you can redirect output to a log file like sarmisak says [09:44] outbackwifi no other tweaks at all? sounds nie. [09:44] nice [09:44] Eugene_: yes [09:45] Anyone having luck with MTS-video files in Ubuntu? I'm not able to view those, or convert [09:45] outbackwifi how would that look like? [09:45] i m italian [09:45] How do i reinstall with apt-get? apt-get reinstall errors no such option. [09:45] C'mon guys, im sure its a simple question, can someone pleaSE answer? [09:45] also what packages are needed to use a atheros wifi dongles? [09:45] kamera: like this ---> kamera, log it maybe? add "2>&1 >> /var/log/some_log_file" to your cron line [09:45] ActionParsnip1: It doesn't really even meet the basic "Does this software work?" bar of usability. I really have to question whether people were in their right minds making this thing the default window mgr. [09:46] CoUrPsE|DeAd, sudo apt-get --reinstall install pkg === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [09:46] Eugene_: madwifi for anything with atheros [09:46] Ahhh, thats where i went wrong, thanks enzotib. [09:46] ActionParsnipl, do i have to install fsck first from package manager? [09:46] 0 1 * * * mysqlcheck -u root -p[password] > /var/log/mysqlstatus.log would do? [09:47] I get an i386 error when I try to install skype onto my darter. Can Someone help? [09:47] Elladan: its open source, there are no garuntees of functionality or anything at all [09:48] Elladan: if it breaks, you get both pieces [09:48] Flannel: is this ok? less /etc/network/interfaces shows auto lo, iface lo inet loopback [09:48] ActionParsnip1: That's why we have these things called "distributions" where people collect working software into a functional package. [09:48] Elladan: some people run compiz with great success, I used to but grew to hate it [09:48] did i get it right outbackwifi? [09:48] kamera: i guess so [09:48] Elladan: indeed, but its still open source and has zero SLA [09:49] on the link u gave me, says there auto eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp [09:49] ActionParsnip1: Well, I don't really have anything against the GUI design behind Compiz. The problem is that it's too buggy to really use. [09:49] Elladan kwin produces very nice effects and does not suffer from all the same bugs that compiz does.. but there are probably others luking around =P [09:49] outbackwifi did you see my line above? [09:49] hi [09:49] may i ask [09:49] syntax\ That's for your loopback (localhost) Those are the first two lines in the example on that page. You need to add more stuff (eth0 stuff) for static IP, not the auto stuff though, read further. [09:49] how to get this unaffiliated/ on stats? [09:49] hello. [09:49] Elladan: I think so too, some have great successes with it. If you want help with it, head into #compiz [09:50] Elladan: just install fluxbox and all issues flutter away ;) [09:50] outbackwifi 0 0 * * * mysqlcheck -Aao -u root -p[password] > /var/log/mysqlstatus.log looks good? [09:50] kamera: did you see mine below that? [09:50] kamera: i guess so [09:50] Does anyone know when getdeb .net will be working again? [09:50] ActionParsnip1 i sometimes uses fluxbox+gnome-panel... nice combo. [09:50] outbackwifi thanks man [09:50] i check it out [09:50] is there a way that I can check what a user is downloading via sftp (openssh)? [09:51] Hi. I installed gtk2-engines-qtcurve so that qt and gtk apps can have a unique look. My problem is that in Nautilus it uses kde icons, no matter which icons are set in Appearence. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? [09:51] i try to partition my HD so that i can make it dual boot Vista-Linux but i have one problem: i want to leave only 20 out of 250 GB for the Vista, but when i choose to "shrink" the vista partition on the vista partition manager... it can not make the partition smallen than 100GB. [09:51] Mageiriki-me-bas: defragment it first [09:51] trying to help a friend who has installed ubuntu intrepid and after an update, he's getting "E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/dpkg/status (1), E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.". Any pointers as to what I can try? [09:51] do i have to install fsck first from package manager? [09:52] b0ef: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update [09:52] ActionParsnip1: thanks; I'll try [09:52] mayank: it is generally installed as part of the base system [09:52] Mageiriki-me-bas: have you tried the partitioning program included in ubuntu installer? [09:52] mayank: its a standard command, the disks need to be unmounted so I'd run it from livecd, or theres aswitch you can use on the shutdown command to make it happen next boot [09:52] Flannel: finished changing, also restarted the service but if i do ifconfig, its still the same. [09:52] Mageiriki-me-bas, it can be risky shrinking the partition, hope you know that. Make sure to backup [09:53] ActionParsnipl, if i logout then run this command..so? [09:53] ActionParsnipl, i mean ctrl+alt+f2 [09:53] ActionParsnip1: Also, when I found that the compiz package maintainers "solved" the bug "compiz crashes my computer with XXX video driver" by placing a card blacklist in a shell script, I was forced to wonder whether they should really be allowed near a computer at all. [09:54] mayank: the partitions are still mounted [09:54] ok [09:54] Elladan: take it up with them [09:54] live cd is a better idea [09:54] Can somebody help me install Skype? I get an i386 error when I try to install it [09:55] Elladan: whats the point of all this ranting?

[10:02] maverick340: Tunneling is easy enough with SSH. The confusing bit with a bittorrent client is that SSH (usually) creates point to point tunnels, but bittorrent really wants something more like a VPN.

Version 0.1.0-1 (intrepid), package size 29 kB, installed size 264 kB [10:02] Is there any other music plays like rythmbox ? it keeps freezing on me and i cant use it, :( [10:02] !amarok | CoUrPsE|DeAd [10:02] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [10:02] thnks [10:02] pop79, use that to turn off compiz-fusion when watching movies etc [10:02] ok. thanks bazhang [10:02] When trying to install skype i get a message: Could not open 'skype -debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb' [10:03] does someone know ehat to do? [10:03] pop79: have you installed video drivers for it? [10:03] Thanks gmathews. [10:03] yep [10:03] Elladan, could you give me links where i could read about both ? [10:03] CoUrPsE|DeAd: You might try banshee as well. [10:03] ActionParsnip1: yep [10:03] maverick340: I don't have any handy, sorry. [10:04] pop79: i'd check settings then, like refresh rates etc [10:04] Elladan, Thanks, well see what amarok is like first. [10:04] ok [10:04] amarok is awesome [10:04] it said on x.org that they couldnt get ati cards to work or something [10:04] i like rhythmbox ! [10:04] yeah. amarok is great [10:04] Good to hear, Rhythmbox is really getting on my nervs, crashing on bootup. [10:04] pop79 me too [10:05] pop79: ati cards work fine, a small few just dont like 3d accell [10:05] i like the cursor follows playback in rhytmbox [10:05] !ati | pop79 [10:05] pop79: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:05] !hcl | pop79 [10:05] pop79: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:05] outbackwifi: thanks [10:05] Hi. I installed gtk2-engines-qtcurve so that qt and gtk apps can have a unique look. My problem is that in Nautilus it uses kde icons, no matter which icons are set in Appearence. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? [10:05] amarok fails on me ! I like to have all my media lib infront of me and then jump to tracks [10:06] Oh, amarok doesnt have a libiary? [10:06] maverick340: i like the xul remote control in amarok [10:06] yeah it has a library [10:06] ActionParsnip1: seems we have an offender: http://www.esben-stien.name/errmsg2.txt [10:06] maverick340 Rhythmbox and beep media player is available for such purposes i guess. [10:06] rhythmbox has been skipping badly for me the last few releases. [10:06] I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition, version for old x86 PC's, image name is ubuntu-8.10-server-i386.iso . I installed it on relatively new AMD Athlon 64 PC (and it works there), then unplugged the disk and moved it to old P75. There I receive bug that kernel needs CPU with CMOV and PAE features support. What can I do, I can't install Linux directly on P75, it is unable to read anything from CD/DVD. [10:06] Rythmbox plays one song then crashes on my ubuntu 8.10 [10:06] Eugene_, yep thats why i iuse RhythmBox ! [10:06] CoUrPsE|DeAd: http://blog.koehntopp.de/uploads/amarok-00-totale.png [10:07] I'm having problems with my connection. Under Vista, everything seems to work fine. Under Ubuntu (8.10), normal surfing works fine, but when I try to do interactive stuff (gmail, facebook, banking, posting forum messages) things don't work properly. It takes ages to submit form and then nothing happens, etc. I've talked to my ISP and he said they're not doing anything special and that if it works under Vista it should work on Ubuntu. So what [10:07] can be the problem? [10:07] CoUrPsE|DeAd: sorry its so big [10:07] No problem, [10:07] Accidus, DNS Address ? [10:07] b0ef: i'd backup the file then add the colon to the file yourself, if its bad, restore the old file [10:07] Accidus what web browser are you using, and do you have any extensions that can cause this behaviour? [10:07] Accidus: i am fixing a pc and have the exact same problem as you are [10:07] maybe you specified one in Vista [10:07] Looks alright. [10:08] pop79: Really? Any success? [10:08] no [10:08] Tester_: can you do a network install? [10:08] ActionParsnip1: I'll try to make him do that;) [10:08] this is a screenshot of the problem: http://kepfeltoltes.hu/090102/ikonok_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg [10:08] Tester_: You need to boot with a lighter kernel. [10:08] my friend asked me to put vista on it [10:08] Accidus, try using OpenDNS - worked for me for a similar problem [10:08] Eugene_: Firefox. I have the 0.8 gnome enhancement extension, but disabling it doesn't seem to make any difference [10:09] Welp, apparently xine cant detect any audio drivers. That could be well why Rythmbox kept freezing i guess. [10:09] Accidus: try making a new user and see if it works under the new account [10:09] im having more trouble with my ati card. it dosnt seem to be supported [10:09] Tester_: With a P75, you might try throwing a working kernel on a floppy or something. [10:09] doesnt Rhythmbox use gstreamer ? [10:09] Maverick340: I thought about DNS problems, but I can access the website, it's just the interactive stuff that's problematic [10:09] my ati raedon card is a raedon xpress 200 [10:09] sztomi after selecting the icons you want, you need to restart nautilus.. and since the desktop is also nautilus on gnome.. that too have to be restarted. [10:10] Accidus, maybe try disabling plugins [10:10] Not sure how to install Ubuntu through network, I haven't seen anything about this type of install on ubuntu web. [10:10] How do I give "TextEditor" permission to write to var/www ? [10:10] I'll try that. thanks [10:10] Tester_im doing a net-boot right now. [10:10] Accidus: Go to applications, add/remove and look for epiphanny [10:10] maverick340: I don't think it's plugins. It was happening from the first day I installed ubuntu + firefox. [10:10] blah569: if its a gui app, use gksudo, if its a terminal app, use sudo [10:10] blah569: you dont give permissions to apps, only to users [10:11] umm this might be a stupid question, but when i did a restart of ubuntu desktop 8.10, none of the changes made were persistent [10:11] pop79: It's not installed [10:11] im bootng off a usb stick, and used the unetbootin tool to put it on there. i assumed that the usb was treated as a drive, but am i wrong? [10:11] Accidus: install it [10:11] When I launch reproduction on rythmbox it doesn't work. Probably there's a bug on ubuntu(8.04). This problem generally happens when I see a movie under FF. Can someone tell me how to discover what devs are actually occupying the audio channel... [10:11] Ah, right. [10:12] Just a sec. [10:12] there is plugin installed in Ubuntu Firefox by default , hardly think that could be a problem but try disabling it [10:12] How do i reinstall sound drivers? [10:12] I cant seem t oget sound on anything anymore. Apart from Skype works. [10:12] Nothing else does. [10:12] What would it be? gksudo textedit? Because 'textedit' returns command not found. [10:12] I have 2x 22" Wide Screen Monitors can I "Span" them or do they have to "Mirror" each other only? [10:12] blah569, gedit i think [10:12] Tester_: I think all you need to do is boot a generic kernel instead of the server kernel. [10:12] when i start my [10:12] oopus [10:13] where i find doom for ubuntu? [10:13] err nevermind. [10:13] maverick340: Thanks [10:13] mayank doom as in the old game? [10:13] mayank, http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=48 [10:13] Invisible_Slack, Use 'multi screens' to change where the monitors are, and in prefences/screen resolution uncheck mirror. [10:13] when i start my Acer pc, it sometimes dosent load the GRUB menu [10:13] Eugene_: I restarted X with ctrl-alt-backspace, and now it works. Thank you for your help. [10:13] Invisible_Slack: depends on your videocard how much pixels it can handle [10:13] doom 3 or any good game for ubuntu? [10:14] mayank: doom3 has a native installer from ID software [10:14] I like alien arena :-) [10:14] hspaans: I have a 8800 GTX OC Edition with 768mb of DDR2 Ram, it can handle it [10:14] mayank: it also runs aweomse under wine [10:14] how do i change so the active window is where the mouse is over? [10:14] mayank doom3 can be bought at most computer stores, and quake4 and all the unreal tournament games comes with linux binaries. [10:14] how to use man in ubuntu ? [10:14] i used to have this in 8.04 [10:14] maverick340: Do you think it's a DNS problem? I can lookup the sites alright, it's just that when I do interactive stuff things don't work properly. [10:14] mayank: theres also a doom client which you can put any .wad in and play doom [10:14] um man [10:14] can anybody link me to a site for drivers of ATI raedon xpress 200? [10:15] CoUrPsE|DeAd: I've unchecked Mirror in the Display Properties but they are still "mirroring" and it only shows 1 monitor in Properties, i haven't enabled the Nvidia restricted drivers yet that might be the 1st problem [10:15] umar, man [10:15] albech: System -> Preferences -> Windows [10:15] maverick340, the link u gave me, i go there and just download 25 mb of doom, i download and play....thats it? [10:15] Accidus, did you try any other browser ? [10:15] Accidus: did you install Epiphanny [10:15] Elladan: ahh thanks.. was looking for in under System- --> Preferences --> Mouse [10:15] http://www.liflg.org/?what=dl&catid=6&gameid=48&filename=doom3_1.3.1.1304-multilanguage.run,is this usefull? [10:16] mayank, like ActionParsnip1 said - there is a native Doom3 installer . Try that maybe [10:16] OK, where can I find such kernel, how to "install" it correctly on that Linux HDD and what else I have to do? For example, I guess it will need some modules for things that are not directly in kernel. [10:16] mayank: yeah that will install doom3 as a native linux app [10:16] Invisible_Slack: is the amount X and Y it can produce, not how fast it can spin its fan [10:16] mayank: just pop in your cd and install away [10:16] when my GRUB menu loads, it displays a whole lot of "linux kernals"???? should they be there [10:16] i don;t understand, doom3 of 25mb only, i download then what? [10:17] Tester_: I'm guessing the easiest thing is to pull the disk out again, and install the generic kernel on the machine that works, and then move it back again. [10:17] Tester_: the install cd will take care of that for you, you will need to install packages or compile source for any additional modules you may neeed [10:17] pop79, you can remove the old kernal boot lines [10:17] hiow? [10:17] mayank: yeah, thats the linux installer, you need your game cd to install it [10:17] pop79, maverick340: Okay, other browser works great! [10:17] Tester_: You can just install linux-image-generic with apt-get and such. [10:17] hspaans: I understand that, just changed over from Kubuntu today, installed it after a while being on windows and hate the new plasmiods, on Kubuntu even with Nvidia Restricted Drivers it wouldn't do anything but mirror that is why I ask [10:17] good Accidus [10:17] Accidus, :-) [10:17] pop79, maverick340: At least for the first few things I'm trying [10:17] try reinstalling firefox [10:17] hspaans: and yes I know its not how fast the fans spin, but with this card I can make it sing if the code is right hence why I ask how to do it ;) [10:18] maverick340, i have age of empires 2, i like that game a lot, but when i play it with wine its play too slow...why? [10:18] Accidus: you could rename your ~/.mozilla folder to get a stock folder to test [10:18] mayank, wine isn't good with most games [10:18] mayank: try altering settings for wine for that game [10:18] That's the problem, I forgot to mention it... I thought I will compile my own kernel without these features, but it's only very old and small HDD, there is almost no space left after system install. I can't download kernel source and compiler, there is simply not enough room for that. [10:18] mayank try running it in a window instead of fullscreen. As AOE2 is 16bit colour, this may cause the troubles... same applies for Starcraft and a few other games. [10:18] mayank, try searching here : http://appdb.winehq.org/ [10:18] !appdb | mayank [10:18] mayank: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [10:18] ActionParsnip1: What do you mean by stock folder? (as you guessed, English is not my native language) [10:18] Tester_: It would also be possible to make some sort of boot disk, but you said your cdrom doesn't work in the old computer, so I'm guessing that would be a pain in the butt. [10:18] some games dont run well with Wine [10:19] guys, im on windows. ill be back on ubuntu in a minute [10:19] I have no sound, can someone please help me? [10:19] Accidus: when you first installed ubuntu, you did not have a firefox profile, when you first run it, one is created [10:19] :( [10:19] CoUrPsE|DeAd have you installed ALSA and alsa-oss? [10:19] Accidus: so if you rename your current profile, firefox will think its yur first run and make a stock profile with no settings or plugins [10:19] Actionparsnipl, i don;t have any game cd, i want to download games for ubuntu..thats it [10:19] Tester_: It sounds like you're going to need to build everything on your new computer, and then move it over. [10:19] I'd assume so, sound was working yesturday, but now nothing. [10:20] Actionparsnip1: Ah, thanks. I'll try that before reinstalling then. [10:20] Accidus: you can then test, if that works, you have some setting in your system preventing what you want to do. you can also rename back so you lose nothing [10:20] maverick340, and how can i play aoe2 window screen? [10:20] CoUrPsE|DeAd if you try to use the gnome-volume-control... what does it say? [10:20] Accidus: you can achieve the same a lot safer by creating a new user [10:20] Eugene_, It loads fine. [10:20] mayank, try isntalling windows in a virtualbox and run AOE2 on it ! [10:20] mayank run winecfg and set windowed mode as default in the checkbox. [10:20] hello . i have kubuntu 8.10 ... how can i search for updates for my kubuntu ??? [10:21] how to browse file an folders as root? [10:21] CoUrPsE|DeAd Broken speakers? [10:21] Invisible_Slack: 2560x1600 <-- this appears the max voor the videocard [10:21] Nope, Speakers are fine. [10:21] kestutis in graphical mode try gksudo nautilus. [10:21] hspaans: its on 1650x1050 if I remember correct way under the max setting, my problem is Monitor 1 & 2 are showing the same.. I want it to "Span" across is that possible? [10:22] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Do you have a wild pulseaudio process or something? Or is some app hogging your audio? [10:22] CoUrPsE|DeAd and its not muted or so... [10:22] pop79, maverick340, Actionparsnip1: I renamed the folder and things still don't work properly. I think I'll reinstall. [10:22] hspaans: not trying to do anything that is not capable of doing [10:22] winecfg does not have window screen mode option.. [10:22] mayank it should have... virtual desktop i think its called nowdays. [10:22] CoUrPsE|DeAd: I've had to go on a hunt for pulseaudio and shoot it before. [10:22] Accidus, yep you are better of doing that ! [10:22] Accidus: good move [10:23] what does gksudo do? [10:23] mayank, Virtual Box ->from Add/Remove [10:23] i have already tried in virtualbox but no luck [10:23] Invisible_Slack: that whould mean your card should be able tot 3300x1050 != 2560x1600 [10:23] kestutis: runs graphical apps with sudo access [10:23] mayank: games dont run great in VMs [10:23] yes..true [10:23] hspaans: its able to do what I'm asking to do, I just need help on finding out how to configure it to do what i"m wanting to [10:23] Elladan, Thanks man, killed all pulseaudio and now its working. [10:24] i know ubuntu not good in games...is there any good games for ubuntu only???? [10:24] mayank, its best to keep a small windows partition if you like playing games [10:24] !games [10:24] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:24] ActionParsnip1 I get 17k 3dmarks when running in a Virtual Machine... works mighty fine if i can say so. [10:24] I've been having problems launching a live fedora and ubuntu. I had recently been kicking around with fedora 10 install and this is what happens when i try to boot: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/Michiru889/IMG_0031.jpg ; then http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/Michiru889/IMG_0031.jpg , then a monitor error of http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/Michiru889/IMG_0031.jpg [10:24] yeah i know [10:24] Invisible_Slack: go to the terminal and configure it with xrandr [10:24] Hi all! Somebody knows how can I open RAR archive in ubuntu? [10:24] how do you get commands for the bot [10:24] i got the same monitor error for the Ubuntu Ibex distro [10:24] Katangawise install file-roller and unrar... [10:24] !list | pop79 [10:24] pop79: 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 [10:25] Katangawise, sudo apt-get install rar [10:25] thanks rrw [10:25] Katangawise, then use File Roller [10:25] How would I delete files in a directory that requires admin permissions? Open the file explorer with sudo? [10:25] Eugene_: very bad judge of performance [10:25] blah569, sudo rm [10:25] is it somehow possible to get working sound like back in 2006? [10:25] blah569 you can do that.. or use the terminal. [10:25] my bad, rmdir [10:25] hspaans: The Video is working at the right size, that is not my problem.. I'm wanting DV1 *as main* and DV2 as "Expanded desktop" not "Mirroring DV1" [10:25] my sound never worked decent after 2006... [10:25] i have lots of linux kernals but i dont know how to delete them. what do i do? [10:25] Eugene_: 3d mark and aqua mark will give hugely different scores as they work differently [10:25] Eugene_, maverick340 Thanks a lot!!! :) [10:25] CoUrPsE|DeAd: pulseaudio seems to be a rather bad idea, overall. [10:25] maverick340: A, thanks [10:26] its like uubntu wa better those days === fw1 is now known as incorrect [10:26] and im getting really really really tired of my sound not working [10:26] ActionParsnip1 but running a old 2d game in a Vitual desktop will probably not decrease speeds... [10:26] so how to fix it???? [10:26] Invisible_Slack: for spanning, your card needs to be able to handle the virtual desktop size, and the maths show differently [10:26] Ward1983: what is wrong with your sound? [10:27] Ward1983 remove pulseaudio and install some other sound daemone.. +OSS then it should work fine [10:27] pop79, edit your /boot/grub/menu.st [10:27] hspaans: your telling me I can't span? [10:27] Eugene_: if it runs fine, its all good :) [10:27] ok [10:27] <_UMBRO_> ALguém pra me dar suporte em português? [10:27] Invisible_Slack: if it doesn't fit in 2560x1600, no [10:27] maverick340: how do i do that? [10:28] is therre a better irc for requesting help? [10:28] !pt | _UMBRO_ [10:28] _UMBRO_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [10:28] hehe installing on the ssd sure si slow. [10:28] <_UMBRO_> !pt [10:28] pop79, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:28] ActionParsnip1: right, he had some major corruptions in that file; somehow parts of /var/log/kern.log was in that file along with a massive load of "@" characters. Any idea what it might be?; corrupt HD? [10:28] make sure you backup your boot file first [10:28] thank you maverick340 [10:28] Eugene_, "some other sound deamons" yes maybe i should apt-get some more crap to make it more complicated [10:29] pop79, sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup [10:29] pop79, my sound crackes if i leave the PC for a while [10:29] weird [10:29] b0ef: check hd if you suspect it [10:29] How would I reference to "filesystem?" Similar to C: on Winblows. [10:29] Invisible_Slack: lower your resolutions to say 1280x1024 you should be able to place and left or right of the other with xrandr [10:29] blah569: no such thing [10:29] I'm trying to sudo rm var/www [10:29] however this directory nests inside of filesystem [10:29] blah569: you have a filesystem made of folders, some are folders, some are mount points [10:30] blah569: execute this command in terminal: mount [10:30] blah569: but as you look at it, its a flat file system [10:30] ok...i have installed opera from opera.com for ubuntu, after installation can't find it anywhere... [10:30] maverick340: how should i configure it [10:30] mayank: how did you install it? [10:30] mayank: run it from terminal [10:30] no [10:30] downloaded from www.opera.com [10:31] !opera | mayank [10:31] mayank: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [10:31] blah569: you'll see the /dev/sd* to be linked to folder/mount points. /dev/ files represent your partitions/devices in this case [10:31] mayank: there is a working package in ubuntu [10:31] hello, how do I configure timidity as a midi server? timidity itself seems to work already. [10:31] not opera...i have searched it [10:31] mayank: read the link from ubottu [10:31] mayank, Alt+F2 type opera [10:32] pop79, your boot file ? [10:32] i opened it [10:32] Where do I set Ubuntu to find proxyservers automatically? [10:32] what do i do with it [10:32] blah569: "/" is the "root" - holds everything inside your system. "/home" is the home where everything, including settings when you start applications for each user, e.g. /home/yourusername/. the rest you can find more at: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html [10:32] hello, while doing `apt-get update` the process stops on getting data from repository.akirad.net. is it safe to disable this repository? [10:33] Do i have to install FTP server ir order to transfer files by SSH? [10:33] glyph`: you can disable any you like [10:33] glyph`: why did you add it [10:33] or i just have SSH server? [10:33] kestutis: no, you use scp [10:33] what is SCP? [10:33] !scp [10:33] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [10:33] outbackwifi: I didn't. it was on by default. [10:33] maverick340, i have typed opera in alt+f2, i says Error stating file '/home/mayank/opera': No such file or directory [10:33] kestutis: and ssh server if you want someone to upload files to your machine [10:34] !ssh | kestutis [10:34] kestutis: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol.

[10:35] mayank: download Opera from the Add/Remove place [10:35] glyph`: you wont get dist upgrades for 6 months at least [10:35] pop79, maverick340, Actionparsnip1: Reinstalled firefox, didn't help [10:35] hmm [10:35] kestutis: It's already installed. The scp command is standard. [10:35] kestutis: you don't. you've got all the necessary things already [10:35] pop79, maverick340, Actionparsnip1: I'm keeping the conf file aside so we could work with a fresh clean copy [10:35] Accidus: try a new user, you may want to remove the new .mozilla folder and restore your backed up settings [10:35] outbackwifi: why is that? [10:35] Accidus, hard luck.Try firefox forums [10:35] try firefox 2, accidus [10:36] Okay. I'll try firefox2 first... [10:36] pop79: can;t find it there [10:36] glyph`: cos thats when distributions are updated like from 8.10 to 9.04 etc === ]L[iNu]X[ is now known as alessio4ever [10:36] so, how to connect to external server with SCP?

Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [10:37] kestutis: scp user@servernameorip:srcfiles dstfiles [10:37] outbackwifi: so if I had decided to stay on 8.04, then no updates for a half of the year? isn't it LTS? [10:37] kestutis: u can use filezilla to connect just change the protocol from ftp to scp in it [10:37] glyph`: you will get security updates not dist upgrades [10:38] outbackwifi: ah, ok, fine then. [10:38] kestutis: its called SFTP in filezilla [10:38] !hardy | glyph` [10:38] glyph`: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu.

[10:40] kestutis: Not quite. But they're related. [10:40] SFTP = SSH file transfer protocol [10:40] kestutis: no sftp lets you browse, scp doesnt [10:40] Accidus, get it in add/remove [10:41] Places -> Connect to Server -> Change Service type to SSH [10:41] for SFTP [10:41] outbackwifi: scp lets browse too [10:41] if you did a desktop install [10:42] kestutis: the good thing about SCP is, you don't have to have FTP server installed on the PC you want to be connected to. You only need ssh, which is almost on all Linux distributions by default, no need to configure it. [10:42] in Evolution, how to move email on a specific folder ? I can only do that to a local folder [10:42] ubuntu doesnt have ssh by default :p [10:42] !openssh [10:42] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage.

[10:43] i have installed SSH. [10:43] Tekno: You can select SSH server during install, at least that's what I was able to do when I was installing it few days ago. [10:43] Yep [10:44] Tester_: you had alternate install ? [10:44] isn't on the desktop install tho ;( [10:44] by the way, where to find (how to open) installed Filezilla? [10:44] Tekno: It's not installed by default however [10:44] Tekno: Yes, I had Server Edition which comes with alternate installer by default. [10:44] yap === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik [10:44] kgodwin: thats because its not considered a server.....its considered a "client" towards other machines [10:44] Server edition isn't the same as the alternate installer, for the record. [10:45] but you can choose it in alternate [10:45] how do i talk to the bot [10:45] Flannel: No it isn't, but it is closer to it then standard desktop edition [10:45] i have open Filezilla for the first time.

I'll go and bug the #firefox guys. [10:50] Accidus, or use Opera [10:50] Opera 10 is really fast IMO [10:50] Try chrome, google chrome. i know how to get it on ubuntu, Accidus [10:50] maverick340: i prefer it, people seem firefox brainwashed [10:50] pop79: We've already tried another web browser. the problem is with firefox... [10:50] We aren't firefoxed brainwashed [10:50] pop79: Or is there some other reason?

Surfing normal sites work just fine, but when I'm submitting data or surfing in more complex sites (gmail, facebook, banking) it starts loading and never finishes. (I don't think it's a dns problem because the sites do load. Problems start afterwards) [10:52] can anyone tell me why i cant download skype on to my dell 9 mini [10:52] !skype | Sara_ [10:53] Sara_: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [10:53] pop79: Do you mean if I have a skype user, or whether I'm using skype atm?

[10:54] ok [10:54] Are you in the UK by any chance? [10:54] kestutis: then use mysql -h to test it [10:54] Accidus: yes, why ? [10:54] mysql -h server.adress ? [10:54] ikonia: nm [10:54] Accidus: ? [10:55] kestutis: -h is the hostname you want to connect to [10:56] HELP When i run ubuntu 8,10 as VM (vmware), HOW to install the VMtools? [10:56] i can't check because i am under NAT anyway. [10:56] Stanlin: your running ubuntu 8.10 as a vmware host or guest ? [10:56] kestutis: it doesn't matter [10:56] kestutis: use -h external-hostname and it will test it just the same [10:57] ikonia: as guest [10:57] I reinstalled alsa, Now reinstalling everythying i had that had gstreamer in the name, thanks ikonia. [10:57] ikonia: it matters a lot. i even can't check websites with http://my_external_ip [10:57] i am having a bit of trouble with GRUB while dual booting with XP. i have a space PC with 2 HDDs... one of them is primary & has XP installed in some portions. In rest empty space of the same HDD i installed Ubuntu, it does recognise XP prior to installation but after rebooting i see the XP entry on GRUB but can't boot into XP, booting into Ubuntu works fine [10:57] Stanlin: then #vmware is the best place to ask, as if it's not in the repos its not an ubuntu product [10:57] so i am ready to reinstall Ubuntu.... now where should i install my GRUB? [10:58] kestutis: but your on the local host so using the external hostname will test it the same as someone external [10:58] debasys: on your boot disks mbr [10:58] is that the default (hd0) or the /dev/sdb [10:58] debasys: on the drive your bios is set to boot from [10:58] debasys: depends on your system [10:58] ActionParsnip1: so u mean the master HDD out of those 2 HDDs i have? [10:58] as i said, i cannot check it. [10:59] Just reinstalled all the gstreamer, do i have to restart for effects to take aplce? [10:59] so technically nobody can use Ubuntu 8.10 as guest in Vmware... that sucks [10:59] kestutis: why ? [10:59] kestutis: I don't understand why you can't use the -h option to check it [10:59] How do I like "sudo" into a directory? [10:59] debasys: whichever drive you bios is booting to, write the boot sector o that drive [10:59] So I can delete files from this directory that I would not have permission otherwise. [10:59] blah569: you dont have to use sudo to cd [10:59] blah569: you can traverse folders freely [10:59] I want to delete files from /var/www/ [11:00] but in the explorer I do not have permission to [11:00] blah569: if you want to delete, use sudo rm [11:00] ActionParsnip1: ok so i know which is the Drive it boots into. how do i know the boot sector of this drive. is there a special name for it? [11:00] Stanlin: its still an issue with vmware, they dont even acknowledge the problem, vmware tools does work in 8.04 tho.. use virtualbox, seriously.. [11:00] !grub | debasys [11:00] debasys: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [11:00] ActionParsnip1: humm....

[12:37] rww, hspaans: It is just about loging in to gnome, for the moment i dont care how long it takes to boot [12:37] apart from vi and emacs [12:37] somethin like kate [12:37] silv3r_m001: try nano [12:37] silv3r_m001: or gedit, editra, mousepad [12:37] !editor [12:37] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [12:37] anyone here used 'liveusb' ? [12:37] Slart: gedit is ascii ? [12:37] silv3r_m001: turns out we can answer question like that :) [12:38] silv3r_m001: what do you mean by ascii? [12:38] silv3r_m001: or do you really want an ASCII editor? not many editors handle only ascii [12:38] can anybody explain me again about root user? [12:38] silv3r_m001: plain text is not the same as ascii [12:38] !root | kestutis [12:38] kestutis: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:38] Flannel: actually i copy pasted some php code in kate which gave strange errors and when opened in vi it showed special chars which kate showed as space [12:39] hmm.. this scrollkeeper thing is curious... [12:39] now I get [12:39] lol, ubottu is funny ;) [12:39] /var/lib/scrollkeeper/es/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml:10136: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document [12:39] ptic-gpl">GNU General Public License [12:39] silv3r_m001, try bluefish [12:39] silv3r_m001: both vim and kate should both be able to handle unicode. [12:42] Trijntje: read the page it will tell you what is happening when you login so you know where to look [12:43] Trijntje: since Linux has no dtrace this can be handy instead of guessing [12:43] How well does Firestarter do its job? [12:43] sartak_: firestarter development is dead since 2005 [12:43] I am trying to setup grub-gfxboot on ubuntu intrepid ibex and i'm having weird errors.. while on hardy i used version 0.97-5, on intrepid only version 0.97-36 works and grant me with a "'invalid file format'" error message when booting and gets me to a text based grub. I've tried several message files and none seem to work, can anyone point me in the right direction? [12:43] please-- i'm at my wits end-- i need more recent vim version on my hardy to avoid major blocking bug-- i found a source for a more recent vim but it requires a more recent dpkg-- but I'm not able to find a source for that-- can anyone please help [12:44] hmmm [12:44] is there a firewall you would suggest to me [12:44] ? [12:44] !ufw | sartak_ [12:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [12:44] sartak_: search for ufw [12:45] I freaking love linux! [12:45] thorny_sun: try sudo apt-get update than try installing it [12:45] >:) [12:45] sartak_, if you have a spare box, Endian is nice [12:45] hi [12:45] hspaans: thnx for the link, it looks like thats what i need [12:46] or snort, Anacranom [12:46] I found Gui-ufw is that right? [12:46] Hmmm Endian? I will look into it I have a couple spare boxes [12:46] !Gui-ufw [12:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about Gui-ufw [12:46] weatherkid: not sure what you mean-- install it from where?

Long story short, now my flash is not working and also sound is missing. Good times [12:49] ActionParsnip, try gufw === Morphous_ is now known as hi [12:49] veltsu: are you on 64bit? [12:50] veltsu, so now you're making your video drivers disappear? :) === hi is now known as SuNDeC [12:50] ActionParsnip, no, I'm on 32 bit [12:50] hi [12:50] Seveas, yeah, that's the logical move now I suppose :) [12:50] veltsu, maybe wifi first, if you use it :) [12:50] veltsu: uninstall all flash thins you have installed, then: sudo apt-gte install flashplayer-nonfree [12:51] veltsu: the processor is a better option [12:51] *apt-get [12:52] Seveas, I struggled to get my wifi working for a few weeks so I'd rather keep it for a while. Besides, if my wifi goes, I can't get any more good suggestions about what to do next. :) hspaans, I could fine tune the processor with a sledgehammer right about now [12:52] my ubuntu box takes around 20 minutes to startup with the error CIFS VFS: No response fro cmd 50 mid 29887 Starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron [12:53] !dpkg [12:53] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [12:53] * Seveas hands veltsu a pickaxe, chainsaw and sledgehammer [12:53] Actionparsnip, I uninstalled the restricted-extras already. I also installed that flashplayer-nonfree as well yesterday but it didn't make my flash work, hence the restricted-extras. I'll uninstall all flash thingies I can find.. [12:53] hi.. I am trying to set up printing... I have download a .ppd and run it's install script.. what do I need to do now to get printing to work to my local postscript printer? [12:53] veltsu, especially, get rid of swfdec and gnash. [12:53] veltsu: stuff like gnash if you have it installed [12:53] * veltsu thanks Seveas [12:54] Seveas, ActionParsnip, gnash sounds very familiar. I do believe I have it installed [12:54] can I use my chainsaw to remove it? [12:54] veltsu, apt-get may cause less collateral damage than the chainsaw, I recommend that [12:55] veltsu: rip it out, if youo have more than 1 flash plugin they will fight [12:55] veltsu, also: apt-get install asr-manpages; man chainsaw [12:55] hullo.. how do I install Ubuntu Studio on Ubuntu 8.10 ? :) [12:55] !studio [12:55] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [12:55] thnx [12:56] Hi.. how can I mount an S/FTP location in 8.10? The "Connect to Server" utility seems to open the root folder of the server (for both SFTP and FTP) - but connecting via gFtp or sftp works... Any ideas? [12:57] veltsu: when you have installed the flashplayer-nonfree use: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins; cd ~/.mozilla/plugins; ln -s :/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so [12:57] veltsu: which should then make you ok [12:57] hello , i have problem with video , video colors don't appear Good [12:57] how do I set up a new local cups printer? [12:58] kebomix: one thing at a time [12:58] Hi everyone, new convert to Ubuntu and Linux in general here. I'm trying to set up a programming environment to learn C++, and to cut a long story short I have to install a .rpm file. the Terminal says that this is for Red Hat, and as a debian user I should use alien -Anyone care to explain? [12:58] !alien | Jianaran [12:58] Jianaran: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [12:59] Jianaran: make a note of those words.. "dangerous" and "unsupported" [12:59] Jianaran, try to find a .deb file instead... [12:59] wow google doesn't even have anything on [12:59] CIFS VFS: No response from cmd Starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron [12:59] what are you installing Jianaran ? [12:59] hello everybody! [12:59] anybody from Brazil? [12:59] !br | cesarazevedo [12:59] cesarazevedo: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [12:59] bonhoffer, that's because that line has 2 different errors in one line. Skip the 'Starting...anacron' bit [13:00] Seveas: The java SDK. It came in a bin file, which unpacked itself into a .rpm. There was another .bin I downloaded along with it with an identical name, but without -rpm.bin at the end; should I use that one instead? [13:00] mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins; cd ~/.mozilla/plugins; ln [13:00] Jianaran, get rid of the rpm file [13:00] Is there a form of "widget" frame work for gnome that works with html/cs/javascript type widgets, instead of gdesklet's xml/python setup? [13:00] my ubuntu box takes around 20 minutes to startup with the error CIFS VFS: No response from cmd 50 mid 29887 [13:00] Hello Scarey [13:00] and apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [13:00] veltsu: you need a bit more to othe ln command [13:01] ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so [13:01] oi [13:02] OK, I'm apt-getting sun-java6-jdk. What should I do with it when it's done? [13:02] !codecs > kebomix [13:02] kebomix, please see my private message [13:02] Afternoon folks. A quick question for anyone out there that can help. I'm running Windows XP through VirtualBox in Ubuntu. Everytime I try to start up VirtualBox after a shutdown of my PC I have to run the a series of commands in the Terminal to get it to work. I was wondering what would be the best way to write a script that will run the commands on after the other waiting for the first command to complete before running the next line. [13:03] mick02: what kind of commands? [13:03] mick02: haven't had those problems with my windows xp vm-install [13:04] recommend a good GUI tool for gphoto2? frontend? [13:04] Also, probably a very silly question, but what's the small circle in the top left corner of every window, just to the right of the icon? (I'm using Xubuntu) [13:04] mick02: you could put them in a simple shell script and have it autorun [13:04] Say I have a user entitled "serveradmin," how would I change it [13:04] the home directory to var/www * [13:04] Slart when I try to run the VM I get a series of errors. I've to run sudo tunctl -t tap1 -u mick02 [13:04] Jianaran, spreading the window to all desktop? [13:05] Then I've to run sudo chown root.vboxusers /dev/net/tun [13:05] Ah, thanks [13:05] Anyway, so I got the sun-java6-jdk; what do I do with it? [13:06] mick02: are you using something special with your vm? what is the /dev/net/tun ? [13:06] mick02: have a script with your list of commands then have the last command as running the virtualbox [13:06] How do I change the home directory of a user account in Terminal? [13:06] mick02: but I'm just curious.. of course you can create a script with those commands and run it when you log in [13:07] mick02: the sudo part might ask you for a password but that's it [13:07] Slart, tun is the network tunnel that allows the XP virtual machine to access the network I think [13:07] blah569, sudo usermod -d foo [13:07] dli: Thanks [13:07] blah569: if you are moving it to a different partition, move the folder to the new location and symlink the new folder [13:07] mick02: oh.. NAT isn't enough? you want incoming connections too? [13:08] !codecs > kebomix [13:08] mick02: because I can browse the net, do updates etc without any of that [13:08] Also, not Ubuntu specific, but what sort of IRC client would you advise for Linux? I use mIRC on windows, and Pidgin seems pretty clumsy compared to a dedicated client [13:08] !irc | Jianaran [13:08] Jianaran: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [13:09] Jianaran: xchat is pretty similar to mIRC [13:09] Yeah I need the tun interface to be up so I can join the VM to the company network etc [13:09] Cheers, I'll try it [13:09] Jianaran: I'm using xchat (xchat-gnome, to be specific) [13:09] Jianaran: xchat is close in clean looks plus you wont have the mirc nag [13:10] Jianaran: you can also get xchat for windows too [13:10] Jianaran: irssi the light-weight console-based irc client [13:10] what to do if ubuntu doesnt get the right resolution for my external monitor? once plugged I only want the external monitor to run in 1680x1050. if the laptop is unplugged the normal screen should run with default 1280x800. I'd be glad for a link :) [13:10] Is someone else affected by the network-manager bug that it won't reconnect after suspend? Any workaround known (my ifconfig fu fails me)? There are numerous launchpad tickets that look related... [13:10] benovic: what graphics card? [13:10] intel GMA 945 [13:11] hello [13:11] maltem: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [13:11] what is terminal command to suspend or hibernate [13:11] anybody known howto install adempiere [13:11] ActionParsnip: tried that, didn't help [13:11] benovic: i think its an xorg.conf thing [13:11] ActionParsnip: I have urandr installed, but that does not do the job [13:12] Anyway, so going back to my original issue: I'm trying to set up a C++ environment, and I've now used apt-get to get sun-java6-jdk. I've agreed to its terms and conditions; what do I do now? [13:12] waooo [13:12] Is it possible to give "serveradmin" full permission? 777 I'm using vsftpd, and it uses local users. [13:12] Jianaran: why are you installing the Java jdk for C [13:12] benovic: http://thegrieve.co.uk/?p=37 [13:12] er, for C++? [13:12] okie UFW is installed [13:12] I was told to use Eclipse [13:12] how can I test it [13:12] ? [13:12] It needs the Java SDK base, apparently [13:13] how do I set up a generic postscript printer? I can't see postscript as an option under "generic" in the print dialog [13:13] maltem: you could rmmod then modprobe it back in [13:13] maltem: suspend is a real pain to get nice [13:13] Jianaran: oh ok, then I'd try and install eclipse, no? [13:13] ActionParsnip: i have found the dualscreen solutions, but I think it doesnt help me with my problem since i only want to run one monitor at at time [13:13] well, ill check it out :) [13:14] ActionParsnip: would I have to rmmod before suspend, or should it work after waking up? [13:14] maltem: Fair enough, and yes it works. I'd just expected a more visible notification tham something had happened. Thanks, everyone :) [13:14] anybody in here, who could get any sound recording on intrepid with an thinkpad t60 ( intel HDA ) and get skype working? [13:14] i have problem installing Adempiere, anybody can help!!! [13:15] maltem: i'd do it all after wakeup. but i dnt use suspend as I have better things to do in the 4 million days it takes to get spot on [13:15] !info adempiere [13:15] Package adempiere does not exist in intrepid [13:15] ActionParsnip, thanks. We're making progress. Now the eg. Youtube videos play for a second or two until freezing. I uninstalled gnash and attempted to install flashplayer-nonfree again. ubuntu prompted that it's already the latest version [13:16] ActionParsnip: heh ok, thanks, I'll see how it'll work out [13:16] veltsu: then remove it, apt-get clean, then reinstall [13:17] bo: looks like you gotta compile it [13:17] Whats a program equivalent to Tortise SVN for windows that I can use with linux, thanks! [13:17] has anyone here gone through LFS ? [13:17] This channel is really special. it has a lot of users in but pends to be the most useless channel on freenode :) [13:17] Openoffice now opens in full screen covering my whole desktop and there is no title bar .. what can I do ? [13:18] banshee_, rapidsvn ? [13:18] ty [13:18] allsystemsarego: Whats the command to instal a .tar.gz again? [13:19] ah, I realize that intrepid chose a different wireless driver for me than what I had under Hardy [13:19] Does (x)ubuntu have xchat-gnome as a package, or do I have to compile it from a tarball? [13:19] banshee_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279315 [13:19] Does anyone know how i could resolve my problem with gnome not starting up (blocked after logon screen), see : http://pastebin.com/m7b9806e8 for some messages [13:19] allsystemsarego: ty [13:19] ActionParsnip: Ty [13:19] Jianaran: sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome [13:19] ok, with wine installed, is gnome-volume-manager supposed to offer to autorun or not? [13:19] Jianaran: xchat is in the repositories [13:19] ActionParsnip: Command to install .tar.gz? [13:20] Jianaran: xubuntu is the same as ubuntu, just a lighter interface, its all the same [13:20] EugenMayer's comment reworded: This channel is really special. It has alot of users in it but no one needs help 'cause everyone use Ubuntu Forums [13:20] cos it does, but fails to find the executable because of inconsistent capitalisation [13:20] banshee_: tar zxvf [13:20] banshee_: then read the readme in the extracted folder for compilation instructions [13:20] banshee_: but you dont install a tar.gz per se [13:21] weatherkid: you mean the forum, which does not clear out, which solution is for what version and if someone has fixed it or not or something for bar foo? [13:21] Roums, disable compiz [13:21] weatherkid: lovely forum, if someone would care about managing it a bit [13:22] EugenMayer: Never mind, but still i do think that everyone uses Ubuntu Forums [13:22] Roums, run: gnome-session-properties to disable it, and enable metacity (gnome wm) [13:23] Roums: or just uninstall compiz, that'll be quicker :) [13:23] hi [13:23] I would like to keep compiz [13:23] EugenMayer: =) yes it would be better if someone made a new years resolution to click prune [13:23] Roums: apparently your GL setup doesn't work [13:23] I get Destination printer does not exist! [13:23] when trying to print to my local printer [13:23] because I followed an ubuntu wiki page to add cube modeler and effects [13:24] any ideas how to deal with this~? [13:24] I see that it is not working :) [13:24] Roums, your video card driver/x are not ready for compiz [13:24] I am using ipp:localhost [13:24] is that wrong? [13:24] hi [13:24] if I change the partition table of my pendrive (mp3 player) as specified in http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/02/05/usb-pclinuxos-minime-2008/, will I be later able to restore its previous state (to play mp3 again) [13:24] I am just using the printing menu in hardy [13:24] felipe__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:24] Roums: then try to disable those things that won't work in gconf-editor [13:24] lesshaste: what printer is it? [13:25] ActionParsnip: lexmark e250dn [13:25] weatherkid: i did not want to offend you. I just was suprised, everytimg i got here with a question, it was useless asking. Comparing to gentoo or debian, this is really _bad_ as ubuntu should also attract casual users. Iam not a casual user, but this really pushes me forward to port back to gentoo or even go on debian. But nevermind, nice day [13:25] lesshaste: you using the IP or hosname?

[13:58] it has to be an internet IP address [13:58] lesshaste: you need to set the ethernet port ou have to some ip address then set the ip of the printer to fall in the same net mask for communication to flow [13:59] lesshaste: i do this all day long for my job [13:59] er internal [13:59] CPrompt^: it works just fine in windows and it's not on a network [13:59] How can I save data on my ftpserver (internet) with ubuntu by terminal-commands?

[14:02] lesshaste, it sounds to me like printer gets IP by DHCP from windows [14:02] CPrompt^: exactly [14:02] lesshaste, that's weird to me:( [14:02] that doesn't sound right [14:03] the printer would have to have the same ip range as your computer [14:03] well I am starting up another computer now [14:03] otherwise it wouldn't know where to go [14:03] with windows on it [14:03] I'll plug in the printer and see how long it takes to set up :) [14:03] lesshaste, plug the printer cable in your local router, or something where you can get DHCP [14:03] plug it in using the ethernet correct? [14:04] using the boring ethernet cable [14:04] no router involved [14:04] lesshaste, since you have wireless, plug the printer eth cable into the wireless router [14:04] why not use the router? it would make things much easier and that printer really should have a static ip [14:04] ok.. windows loading... [14:04] lesshaste, startup the printer, then, it should get IP from router [14:05] i'm with dli on this one. [14:05] the router is in the wrong room.. sorry to be so dull about it [14:05] windows is slooooow :) [14:05] still starting up :) === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [14:05] back in 10.. got to eat [14:06] what is npviewer?

Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [14:48] when i run orca i hear a weird noise... [14:48] brolly81, Oh i see [14:48] Photoguy: heh, I'm doing the same thing, that is want to make my installation in external harddrive works in most computers. [14:49] Yeah, I just want to plug and play :P [14:49] Photoguy: then use a livecd [14:49] amitz: we do the same thing, but it's not trivial and all the machine are the same. Makes hardware conflicts rarer. [14:49] Photoguy: It probably won't work flawlessly though.. [14:50] brolly81, Anyway, keep in mind that you have to be root to be able to install/uninstall/update a soft in ubuntu, it's "by design" that's why many wabsite didn't mention it === berat is now known as helllues === helllues is now known as hellues [14:50] Slart: i was trying to share my folder over the network. the files that i was trying to share were located on my desktop [14:50] Ok, so I use a live cd, and install all over again? [14:51] Jeruvy: I know but I still want to make it work. I only have to make it works for 3 different computers. Now, what I need is info on how to install grub only on live cd. Do you know how? [14:51] Photoguy: just use a livecd, don't install, or install it, it's up to you [14:51] bonjour les mauvais programmeurs ! [14:51] !fr [14:51] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [14:51] bonjour les bots alors [14:51] !fr [14:51] Photoguy: I've just done that [14:51] amitz: I'm not sure I follow you. You want a livecd with just grub? [14:51] Papillon_: english only please [14:51] Photoguy: first you need to use "debootstrap". Try google it. [14:51] brolly81: ah.. so you had to do that as "the root user".. the files can still be on your desktop.. it's just the sharing that has to be done as root.. since you as a user isn't allowed to do that.... (not sure if that helps any) [14:52] ok [14:52] brolly81: anyways.. it works now? [14:52] amitz1: why does he want to debootsstrap ? [14:53] slart: for example if i logged onto ubunto my files of music and pic are there on my desktop. i had to copy and paste those files in root to share. [14:53] Jeruvy: Yeah. Basically the BIOS of all 3 computers can access USB storage. Too bad there is no option to boot from USB storage. So basically I want to boot from CD, run the grub in CD, and make grub boot into USB storage. [14:53] I wan to use MY ubuntu installation, that's the thing! [14:53] i think the partion was done manually [14:53] Photoguy: you can't [14:53] No way too? [14:53] amitz1: ah, why not pxe? [14:53] Photoguy: each PC is unique, so you need to either a.) use a live cd envionment, or b.) install on each system [14:54] That's ridiculous! [14:54] ikonia: ah, what I meant is for him/her to create his new installation for his external storage. [14:54] Ok, thanks for the info. [14:54] amitz1: so he doesn't need to debootstrap - just install as normal [14:54] Jeruvy: Some of those computers can't boot from PXE. [14:54] i bootout of livecd and can see the file system partition and boot partition [14:54] but i think grub is not installed [14:54] how do i [14:54] shri: the livecd uses lilo [14:54] Wait, does it make any diffrernece that I'm using an external hdd? [14:54] slart: yes it works now but the problem is that for 10gigs of music i have to use 20gigs of space one for root and the other for general log on from what i'm understanding between root and just normal log-on [14:54] Photoguy: yes, [14:55] ikonia: You're right. I generalized my case to his/her. I used debootstrap thus I thought (s)he probably needs it. [14:55] Photoguy: you can't move installs around like that - it is not safe. Each PC is different [14:55] Photoguy, yes [14:55] okay, what do i do now [14:55] how do i make dual boot [14:55] amitz: There is floppy bootdisks which bootstrap to PXE if bios does not allow it at http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ [14:55] shri: what do you want to do [14:55] Ok.. [14:55] amitz1: hmm interesting problem. Not sure what to suggest I would not go this way. [14:55] Photoguy: you should try installing off usb. it's a little quicker if your doing a lot of installs [14:55] is there any way to automate the typing in of the "yes" for an ssh host when connecting for the first time? [14:55] just a suggestion [14:55] zombor: disable host checking [14:56] i know ubuntu is installed on my system. i want to boot out of it [14:56] ikonia: can i do that per-domainhost? [14:56] for that i need a grub/lilo [14:56] oh i didnt see that you had an x harddrive [14:56] nevermind [14:56] zombor: it's a server setting, not a client, so disable it on each server [14:56] shri: what do you want to do [14:56] how do i? [14:56] shri: what do you want to do/achieve ? [14:56] Thanks for the help guy. [14:56] ikonia: ah, ok, thanks [14:56] *guys [14:56] shri ubuntu doesnt use lilo [14:56] !info ghc6 [14:56] ghc6 (source: ghc6): GHC - the Glasgow Haskell Compilation system. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.8.2-6ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 27026 kB, installed size 127276 kB [14:56] not by defualt. if you want lilo hit the lilo website [14:56] genii: Thanks. It's interesting but basically I want to have a large collection of files and installation with small physical size I can carry everywhere to those 3 computers. [14:56] brolly81: ok.. I don't really understand what you did... but you do not have to store everything twice in order to be able to share it [14:57] i want to install bootloader that boots linux and windows [14:57] Melio: why does he have to hit the lilo website, lilo is available for ubuntu [14:57] shri, install windows., then install on a clean partition linux [14:57] shri: have you installed linux yet ? [14:57] thats done [14:57] ikonia: so he can learn about lilo [14:57] im begining to hate the udp packets of filesharing on wireshark.. [14:57] filesharing clients [14:57] shri, ubuntu automaticly recognizes your windows partition when grub installs [14:57] grub is exactly like liko [14:57] shri: then the system should be already setup to dual boot, the linux installer sets it up and gets it right %99 of the time [14:57] er lilo [14:57] sorry small keyboard [14:57] i personally like grub better [14:58] lilo is like 80's style [14:58] i think thats not done [14:58] shri, how did you install linux [14:58] slart: when i typed sudo nautlius it came up. but i could not view my the files located under desktop [14:58] !punctuation > Melio [14:58] Melio, please see my private message [14:58] shri, what's happen when you boot your computer ? [14:58] shri, what are you talking about? [14:58] i see only windows [14:58] Jeruvy: i would if i could find the keys for it, this is an aao, and i'm typing in the dark [14:58] not used to this keyboard [14:58] hey. i'm using punctuation. relax [14:58] shri, then Ubuntu is not installed [14:58] Jeruvy: well, for now, I want to install that grub on cd. [14:59] !grub | shri [14:59] shri: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:59] shri: then it's most likley grub do not install to the boot disk [14:59] Stormbreaker: no, it means grub is not on the boot disk [14:59] brolly81: ok.. sudo nautilus means you ran nautilus as the user root.. (you should have used gksudo but that's for another time).. [14:59] brolly81: and then you couldn't see your desktop files? [14:59] when i boot out of liveubuntu cd. i see the linux partitions with ubuntu on one of the partitions [14:59] shri: ok, so grub is not installed on your boot disk [14:59] ikonia, how itcan be ? if you follow the install process? [15:00] so how do i install grub [15:00] Stormbreaker: if you have multiple disks, the installer can put the grub boot loader on the wrong boot disk [15:00] shri, see the link above [15:00] shri: you need to re-apply grub from the livecd to the correct master boot record [15:00] i have multiple disks [15:00] ikonia, Ok, thx for the info :) [15:00] !grub > shri [15:00] shri, please see my private message [15:00] brolly81: ok, I think I understand what you did now.. you clicked on the "Desktop" shortcut in nautilus, right? and there were no files? [15:00] Stormbreaker: it's rare - but it can happen, most normally if your disk priority is different than your bios's order [15:01] slart: dude someone else told me to type sudo nautilus not gksudo [15:01] How do I install the new kernel with ext4 support? [15:01] ikonia, didn't know that, i have multiple disk but no issue so far to install ubuntu [15:01] brolly81: yes, it happens.. it can be dangerous but most of the time it's fine [15:01] amitz1: have you seen this? http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD-ROM.html [15:02] brolly81: generally speaking sudo is used for command line applications, gksudo is used for things that uses the gui [15:02] brolly81, gksudo or sudo nautilus it's 2 different way for the same result [15:02] Stormbreaker: not really.. [15:02] !gksudo | Stormbreaker [15:02] Stormbreaker: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [15:03] Jeruvy: woah, thx. I'm currently reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB [15:03] slart: i just right clicked on my music file, then share file. [15:03] hey can anyone help me i'm trying to mount my external HD but it says "Cannot mount Volume" and in details it says its because of an untidy shutdown [15:03] amitz1: good luck :) [15:03] brolly81: you did find your music files? inside the new nautilus window? [15:03] if i install grub . will i be able to boot windows [15:03] i think i last mounted it on my Windows, but i can't access windows right now because it's got a virus and just freezes when i open it [15:03] will grub overwrite windows bootloader [15:03] <_Aldur> join #xubuntu [15:04] Slart, if you say so, it's open nautilus with root access [15:04] I'm thinking that i can Force it, but is that dangerous? Will i loose my data on it? [15:04] shri: have you read the documentation for grub? [15:04] Stormbreaker: yes, but gksudo does some extra things.. something about enviroment variables.. apparently it can do nasty stuff to your installation if you use sudo with gui things [15:05] i am reading it. i just want to get confirmation [15:05] since my confidence level is bad [15:05] Stormbreaker: read the link ubottu sent you.. I don't remember the specifics of it [15:05] Jeruvy: Thx! I think your link is exactly what I need. [15:06] slart, strombreaker: the point is now i've tried it both ways and i still cant view my folders on my desktop i cant see any files. It's just a blank nautilus screen that has a desktop icon on it and when i click on the desktop icon to open it, that too is just blank [15:06] Slart, i just finish it, anyway, for me the result was the same, no i understand, i will us gksudo then [15:06] brolly81: ok.. that is because you are seeing the user roots desktop.. each user has his own home folder, his own desktop folder, his own bookmarks etc etc [15:07] now* [15:07] hey can anyone help me i'm trying to mount my external HD but it says "Cannot mount Volume" and in details it says its because of an untidy shutdown, Does anyone know how to Force it? Or is that not recommended because it might wipe all my data? [15:07] brolly81: try clicking on "File system" in the left panel [15:07] brolly81: you can press F9 to turn the side panel on and off [15:08] hello i am dualing boot vista and linux and i access internet via wireless newtork vista connects normally to 3com router with 24% stringth in signal but ubuntu dont detect that router in the same position of my laptop [15:08] brolly81: you should see folders like "bin" "boot" "dev" [15:08] slart: yeah ok [15:08] brolly81: ok.. find the folder "home", open it [15:08] i will try that and be back [15:08] please help anyone-- i've wasted 5 hours on this now-- I need a vim version > 7.1.138 (hardy) cuz of bad bugs in this one, and I'm running Hardy-- how do I do it?

Is there a way for a script to get a reference to it's own location? The script should invoke another command in its own directory, but when run from a desktop shortcut the current directory seems to be the desktop, so I guess I need to cd to the script dir, but that can depend on where the user installed the files [15:31] Trijntje: look in the last three paragraphs of that page [15:32] mib_x893htne: have it cd to that directory in the script [15:32] Trijntje: by default, bootchart is set up to do boot logging. You can start it up manually to log other stuff, like GNOME logon, though. [15:32] thanks guys, i have booted into ubuntu [15:32] it is so easy [15:32] lol [15:32] mib_x893htne: assuming you're talking about a BASH script, ask in #bash [15:33] BenHoltz: Can I get the script directory from an environment variable?

[15:45] BobbyInfinity: and you did a ./configure and it didn't work or you ran into dependancy errors? Can you pastebin the output of the ./configure [15:46] there is no ./configure to run [15:46] jim_p: nope, gnome does alt-tab to switch windows regardless of application [15:46] type sudo configure [15:46] I don't see any way to just switch application focus [15:47] hi all, I am having the problem that 8.10 is not detecting my display properly. I want to set it to Acer x193 and I cant in 8.10 because the "screen and displays" gui is not in 8.10 like it was in 8.04. As a result I do not get all the resolution options. Is there no way of setting display in 8.10??? [15:47] Dante123: you can customize your xorg.conf [15:47] So one day I boot my Intrepid installation, and it won't resolve hostnames. I check my connection by pinging a few remote IPs I know by heart, and they respond. I track it down to my /etc/resolv.conf file, which turns out to have been replaced by a Stale NFS file handle, and I get this error when I try to do anything with the file. How can I remove the stale file handle so I can restore my original resolv.conf? [15:48] who have to give me a guide or manual for ubuntu terminal? pls [15:48] hi, I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 but Im getting the grub error, how can I fix it?

[15:49] is there a way for me to make my own ./config? [15:49] BobbyInfinity: seems to be looking for wine :) [15:49] thanx [15:49] Jack_Sparrow I even tried booting into 8.04 livecd and using that xorg.conf after I had set acer as display, but no good. [15:50] when i looked at the make file it seems to be looking for wine in the wrong place. that is if i'm reading it correctly [15:50] So in short, how can I remove a stale NFS file handle? I can't find out how to remove the handle and I can't replace the file unless the stale handle is gone. I've Googled to no avail. :( [15:50] BobbyInfinity: from the makefile: ddiwrapper_exe_LDFLAGS = -mwindows -mno-cygwin [15:50] Jack_Sparrow I may have to do that....but I should think things OUGHT to be able to be done via gui. I mean 8.04 allowed me to and now 8.10 doesn't. Seems like a regression to me. [15:51] is there a command line way of setting display Jack_Sparrow Melio [15:51] !subtitles [15:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about subtitles [15:51] sorry all [15:51] That's okay Jack_sparrow.

[16:53] ethan i meant [16:53] Gun_Smoke: if you do !factoid | username, it shows them in channel. !factoid > username to send them as a PM [16:54] Question about dialup modem and ubuntu 8.04. My brother in law is testing it out on his pc. When setting up the modem, he has the following options serial, pppoe, and something that starts with Gxxx/xxxx. Is serial for an external modem connected to com port?

I just installed 8.10 and i'm trying to get my card configured. my computer is hp pavillion zv 6000 [16:55] how do i view the source of any ubuntu package online (without downloading it first) [16:55] pop79: is that supposed to mean something...useful? [16:56] no [16:56] sorry [16:56] askereth: the 'source'? [16:56] Gnea: yes, the source [16:56] heyy [16:56] sorry ethan, i cant help you. [16:56] wh can help me [16:56] askereth: you don't, because there isn't a web interface to it. You either get it with apt-get, or download it from packages.ubuntu.com. [16:56] ? [16:56] askereth: could you please be a bit more specific? do you mean the source code or where the package is coming from? [16:57] !ask |nicholas [16:57] rww: thank you [16:57] nicholas: 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. :-) [16:57] oki [16:57] nicolas: what do you want to know? [16:57] so why my amsn don t work [16:58] Gnea: the obvious one, "source" as in "source code" :) [16:58] askereth: there's nothing 'obvious' about it, anybody could say 'source' and mean something else. :) === pp is now known as arkos === joey63 is now known as father [16:58] rww, I meant should people be directing them that way [16:59] can someone tell me what time it is in GMT? [16:59] Gun_Smoke: either way is considered fine. I tend to > the long ones so they don't spam the channel, but it doesn't really matter. [16:59] pop79: 4:59pm [16:59] rww, yes, they can add up.. [16:59] nicolas, what do you need? [16:59] thanks rrw [17:00] askereth: someone could mean sources.list when they say 'source', or the source code via deb-src, or the original source code .tgz from the original website, or the source of a patch. [17:00] askereth: assumption is the mother of all troubleshooting tickets that wind up in /dev/null ;) [17:00] Gnea: i thought "without downloading it (the package) first" was disambiguative enough [17:01] askereth: but then you're referring to 'it', which, when you re-read what you wrote, is referring to 'the source' [17:01] Anyone could help me to set ivtv on my Hauppauge WINTV PVR 150 please ? [17:01] has anyone gotten concordance/congruity to work on ubuntu? i installed concordance and the libs are sitting in /usr/local/lib ... yet when I try and import the libconcord module in python it bombs out [17:02] Gnea, sources.list refers to /etc/apt/sources.list which apt looks to. [17:02] askereth: but, that's okay, you got the answer you sought. I'm not trying to be hard on you, just trying to point out that not being specific enough has the capacity to cause problems. :) [17:03] Gun_Smoke: thank you. [17:03] привет.всех с НОВЫМ ГОДОМ!

Every day at night, I open Power Manager and set brightness to 50%. If I dont, I gotta keep pushing Fn+Up, but obviously it reverts back to the set brightness after a minute. How can I automate this Power Brightness thing? [17:03] I've just got the grey "a package manager is running" icon in the status bar along with an information icon telling me that the language settings have been changed and that I should restart my session. But I don't know why. I had just been running aptitude as root which would explain the package manager icon if there is a delay, but what about the language thing? [17:03] RU [17:03] Gnea: got it anyway, thanks :) [17:04] evgeniy: /join #ubuntu-ru [17:05] codeshot: do you have automatic updates turned on?

[17:08] codeshot: and when's the last time you restarted? [17:08] I'm not running sshd, I do have multiple users on the system and I last restarted a day or two ago. The other user has not used the computer in several months. [17:09] is there a way to have ubuntu extend my desktop onto a monitor when I plug it in, and return to single monitor when I unplug it? [17:09] when i open my amsn, it worked, and when it charged, i wait a very long time === yacc__ is now known as yacc [17:09] who can help me for that [17:09] soory, forgot to put the user I was replying to again: it was at Gnea [17:10] nicolas, does amsn "freeze"? Doesn't do anything? [17:10] codeshot: no problem, i was in another desktop [17:10] freeze?

[17:12] that tell you when you need to restart etc? [17:12] There you go :) Do this, nicolas: /join #ubuntu-fr [17:12] Gnea: so I take it that some manual process is supposed to occur to change language-settings? [17:12] thanks [17:12] codeshot: that's usually how it works.. has something visibly changed as a result? [17:13] no, and the settings look normal (English, some germanic translations, and all font options). [17:13] what's a good tool for ripping audio CDs?

[17:15] pteague: grip [17:16] codeshot: well, you could give the reboot and shot and see what happens [17:16] Gun_Smoke: no, it's my own computer, except it's thousands of miles away. I'll see what I can do. [17:16] svat, haha.. have fun.. what broke? why do you need to downgrade? [17:16] Gnea: oh, it only asked me to restart my session (ie, log out and in again). Which sounds like a gconf setting got changed. [17:17] codeshot: that's not unreasonable [17:17] Gun_Smoke: I ran "sudo do-release-upgrade", it did some things (in the midst of which my connection broke down), and now it says the upgrade didn't succeed. [17:18] svat, doesn't sound like the end of the world.. [17:18] yeah, it seems to still work :) [17:19] you should be good.. I'd look at aptitude and see if you have any broken packages.. then edit your sources.list [17:19] Gnea, But is it normal for a language setting to be changed without user interaction?

With either the default 2.6.27-9-generic or 2.6.27-3-rt kernels, I get a bunch of "wifi0: invalid skb->cb magic" errors in the syslog. wifi still works fine w/ the old kernel (2.6.24-22-generic) from hardy. wifi card is "Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)" (ie hostap_pci) in [17:20] a thinkpad x30. I've read online of someone with the same problem, and they found it worked with the livecd, just not with the upgrade. might there be some files interfering with the functionality of the intrepid kernels I'm missing, or might there be a known bug?
