[00:22] So i should be editing "000-default" with as my external IP? [00:22] sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop && apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove [00:22] that will install al xubuntu packages, remove ubuntu, and then remove all ubuntu packages not part of xubuntu [00:22] how can i install windows live account on thunderbird 2 ?!!!!!!!!!!!

[00:44] * the_squircle praises novell (and then slaps himself) [00:45] usr13: thanks [00:45] bonhoffer: but I would think too that OO 3 is able to open them as the_squircle said [00:45] what is the best way to tranfer files that are sitting right next to each other, but are connected wirelessly to a router? I'm thinkin some kinda cable [00:45] sorry [00:46] Question: Im trying to install a mount ISO script, i have the actual script loaded however i need to ass an ISO folder inside mnt and it says i cant because im not the owner, how do i get access? (/mnt/ISO does not exists, please create it and run the script again) [00:46] What is the best way to transfer files betweet computers that are sitting right next to each other [00:46] jp_sf and bonhoffer: the people at OOo say 3.0 beta can. [00:46] !permissions > justrelaxzin [00:46] justrelaxzin, please see my private message [00:46] phixxor, ftp [00:46] phixxor; scp [00:46] the_squircle: ah they are wonderfull those people at OO [00:46] justrelaxzin: you need to apply proper permissions to the mounted partition (ie you use chmod/chown appropriately on the mount point with the partition mounted). See ubottu [00:46] phixxor: ftp/scp/NFS/afp/smb/tftp... anything network based [00:46] bastid_raZor, whats scp? [00:46] Laderius: secure copy [00:47] protocol... [00:47] phixxor: I would use the wireless network... [00:47] Laderius, bastid_raZor, alright, but is network really the best? The transfer speed doesn't seem that fast [00:47] jp_sf: they sure are. [00:47] jrib:thanks [00:47] phixxor, enable full duplex :) [00:47] can someone help me [00:47] Question: Im trying to install a mount ISO script, i have the actual script loaded however i need to ass an ISO folder inside mnt and it says i cant because im not the owner, how do i get access? (/mnt/ISO does not exists, please create it and run the script again) [00:47] phixxor: if you have FireWire (iLink or IEEE 1394) it's pretty fast. [00:47] Laderius: never heard of it [00:47] !anybody > Laderius [00:47] Laderius, please see my private message [00:47] phixxor; if you don't want to open the box and add the drive to your box then scp would probably be fast and easy [00:47] jrib: i got imwheel, but im stupid and cant find the config [00:48] about mine??? [00:48] Dexi: you create it: ~/.imwheelrc [00:48] Laderius; sudo mkdir /mnt/ISO [00:48] bastid_raZor, alright. sounds good. I just thought since they both have ethernet there might be a way to connect an ehternet cable to each [00:49] phixxor crossover cable [00:49] phixxor i think anyways :) [00:49] phixxor; scp will use ethernet .. scp file file username@ip:location [00:49] phixxor: you don't need a crossover cable if one of the cards is auto-sensing [00:49] phixxor: just a regular cable [00:50] jrib: can you guide me on how to make it? im not really familiar with creating things :p [00:50] Dexi: gedit ~/.imwheelrc [00:50] how do i login as admin/root to edit a folders permissiosn? [00:50] travis_: did you sort it out? [00:50] Laderius: what folder? [00:50] ok, well one is a macbook. is that autosensing? if so, great! I can connect them and scp [00:50] i need to send a mass mailing with personalised messages - what tool can i use in ubuntu? (its for good!) [00:50] ok thanks [00:50] alex-82: THe synaptic package manager has "History" in the dropdown menu. File -> History [00:50] Laderius: sudo chmod [00:50] ill go find syntax and all that online. :p [00:51] phixxor: yes, macs are auto-sensing [00:51] alex-82: Just found that. It will more than likely show removed packages as well as installed ones. [00:51] phixxor: but if you have a firewire cable, the MB is a lot faster at that [00:51] I am trying to change Gnome from using the Home directory instead of the ~/Desktop directory, the gconf desktop_is_home_dir is false... but it is still displaying the wrong directory :( help [00:51] where can I see a list of graphic cards supported by ubuntu intrepid ibez? [00:51] the_squircle and to fix this error /mnt/ISO does not exists, please create it and run the script again [00:51] ibex* [00:51] looking for how to install OO on 8.10 -- google has some conflicting answers [00:51] neil_d: check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [00:51] bonhoffer, you mean the latest OOo? [00:52] the_squircle: Ok, I have a firewire cable, but I think the other computer doesn't have a fw port. that's odd though, I always thought Ethernet was faster than firewire [00:52] OOo 3.0 [00:52] Laderius: what? [00:52] that can open xlsx [00:52] Hello, I'm having a sound poblem. My onboard soundcard plays on the internal speakers aswell as on the headset I plugged in [00:52] bonhoffer: don't know what the status is, but check the bugs about it on bugs.ubuntu.com [00:53] the_squircle: when i try and add an ISO folder to mnt folder i get that error, [00:53] usr13: thanks, I was looking for that. Actually I found the files which are in /root/.synaptic/log/ . [00:53] phixxor: 100 base TX is 10MBps, FireWire 400 is 40MBps... but Gigabit is 100MBps [00:53] jrib: the XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/" I presume this is wrong ? [00:53] neil_d: yep [00:53] Laderius; use sudo [00:53] alex-82: Ok, very good... [00:53] Laderius: sudo [00:53] the_squircle: got it. thanks [00:54] the_squircle, bastid_raZor: the command would be sudo /mnt/iso/ ? [00:54] the_squircle: and wireless networks (g) are 5mb/s about, right? [00:54] Laderius; sudo mkdir /mnt/ISO *(be sure to note case sensitive) [00:54] bastid_raZor thanks much [00:54] alex-82: sudo ls -ltr /root/.synaptic/log/ [00:54] Hello, does anyone know of a good count-up timer for Compiz/widgets layer [00:54] jrib: thanks [00:55] Laderius: I know absolutely nothing about mounting ISOs... i didn't even know you could do it! [00:55] shut, I just removed my well configured gnome panel, is there a way I can recover it? [00:55] neil_d: no problem [00:55] is the nvidia geforce 8600M GT supported in 8.10 ?? [00:55] !iso [00:55] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:55] I installed a 32-bit-pakage of a programm (this was necessary). Now a 64-bit-pakage (the one for wich I needed this 32-bit pakage) is reporting a dependency error. How can I mark the pakage as installed to avoid dependecy-errors? [00:55] Laderius; if it is looking for /mnt/iso then you need to make sure it is lowercase if it wants /mnt/ISO make sure you make it uppercase [00:55] Laderius: just follow bastid_raZor's instructions :P [00:55] woli: yes [00:55] the_squircle i found a natulis script to do it :D. want the link? [00:55] woli: i'm using one and I love it [00:55] Laderius: I'd love it :) [00:56] Laderius: the_squircle mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /home/somebody/foobar.iso /mnt/cdrom [00:56] the_squircle, bastid_raZor: Thanks it works now: the link is (http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/File%20System%20Management/Mount_Image) [00:56] Laderius; i actually use a script to do the same thing too.. it can also be used to unmount the iso afterwards. [00:56] Guest88728: you could force install the package using dpkg -i --force-all package.deb [00:57] bastid_raZor: Which script? [00:57] thanks usr13 and Laderius [00:57] bastid_raZor: Maybe the same one im using [00:57] Laderius: the_squircle where /mnt/cdrom is a valid mount point, you pick. i.e. mkdir /mnt/iso and then use /mnt/iso [00:57] Laderius; a friend of mine wrote it. [00:57] usr13: I know that much :P [00:57] Laderius; i will give it to you if you want.. but the script you have does the same.. almost [00:57] how can I extract the first character from a variable in bash? [00:58] bastid_raZor: not sure if mine unmounts tho [00:58] the_squircle: I did this and it worked. But now the 64-bit-program complains about a missing 64-bit-pakage (the one wich I installed as 32-bit) [00:58] Laderius; one sec and i'll pastebin it [00:58] omarco, i would say - check that 'advanced bash scripting guide' it has chapters/sections/examples of that. [00:58] !abs [00:58] Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [00:58] bastid_raZor: thanks, will it come as PM? [00:58] Guest88728: install the 64-bit version of the package it's complaining about. [00:58] bastid_raZor: if you're PMing it, I'd love it too :D [00:59] the_squircle: But isn't the 32-bit version deleted then? [00:59] Guest88728: Depends. What package is it [00:59] echo 132 [00:59] is there a quick way to turn gnome on and off? not just flip to CLI but completely turn it off [00:59] Guest88728: if it's a library, you can have both [01:00] how can I tell netstat to return result for a specific port/range? [01:00] I'm trying to run a .tcl script from my /home/user/ folder, using the command "sudo ./xx.tcl" command. Why is it saying "command not found" ? [01:00] the_squircle: its "php-zero-ice" [01:00] ikyn_, you have the first line of the script being the proper #!/bin/whate4ver/tcl line ? [01:00] All Florida Ubuntu users, there is a meeting going on in #ubuntu-us-fl [01:00] the_squircle, do you happen to have the dell xps m1530? [01:01] hii [01:01] ikyn_, and you have it chmod'ed to be executable? [01:01] woli: MacBook Pro. but i've worked with the XPS. [01:01] dr_willis: I don't know about the chmod - what would be the command for that? [01:01] Laderius; the_squircle first in cli do .. touch isomount then copy past the contents and chmod 700 isomount then sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin http://pastebin.com/f7345d68d [01:01] hmm [01:01] cool, ok so it looks like I uninstalled gnome-panel. Now I'm looking at some of the alternative panels out there. Need something light with a task list. [01:01] ikyn_, chmod +x whatever [01:01] dr_willis: Thanks! [01:01] Thanks bastid_raZor [01:01] Is anyone in toronto? [01:02] sandeep: I'm in Toronto [01:02] can anyone comment on beagle vs tracker? [01:02] the_squircle; the script has a little bit of error handling in it so if you do something wrong it will tell you what you're doing wrong.. basically it needs to be run sudo isomount file.iso and it mounts it [01:02] is there a quick way to turn gnome on and off? not just flip to CLI but completely turn it off [01:02] How do you like ubuntu? [01:02] bastid_raZor: sounds easy enough... but scripts are always nice. [01:03] :-* [01:03] bastid_raZor: excuse the noob question but what is cli? [01:03] sandeep: I used to use OpenSUSE, and I have to say that I like Ubuntu a lot more in many aspects. [01:03] cli is command line interface, like a dos window. [01:03] Laderius; do those commands in a terminal ;) cli is command line input meaning to do those things in a terminal [01:03] ahh ok [01:03] rebel_kid, check out 'runlevels' [01:03] Guest88728: I can't find anything about php-zero-ice [01:04] I see, I have just recetly acuired an interest in ubuntu, I must say I am quite impressed. [01:04] sandeep: As well you should be! :) [01:04] dr_willis: if the name of the script is xx.tcl, and it's in my /home/ikyn folder, what would the first line be if I'm running Kubuntu 18.10? [01:04] fuxxy, is it in man? [01:04] the_squircle; Laderius if you notice this script uses /media/iso so that it will appear on the desktop when thinks are mounted. it makes it much easier to find if you prefer using the mouse over a keyboard. [01:04] sandeep: Welcome to the community! [01:04] 18.10? ;) [01:05] haha [01:05] s/thinks/things [01:05] *8.10 [01:05] Hi [01:05] hi people, anyone has some information about bluetooth on ubuntu intrepid? my mobile doesn't sync with de notebook to transfer files. I have read that the bluez protocol stack have been modifyed and has a bug. [01:05] !hello | Wintre [01:05] Wintre: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:05] Correct, ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE YOU USE? [01:05] Is there some graphical tool for editing UXTerm*charClass in Ubuntu 8.10? [01:05] ikyn_, scripting basics.. the first like is the path to the executable that runs the script.. ie: a bash script is #!/bin/bash perl would be #!/bin/perl and so on [01:05] bastid_raZor: yesh, when i type in terminal 'touch mount' nothing happends is that right? [01:05] Man23BRsT: I am using bluetooth fine [01:05] the_squircle: It just a .so file (php-extension) in the php-folder. I will copy the 32-bit version, install the 64-bit pakage and backup the 32-bit file ;) Thank you anyway [01:05] sandeep: Lots [01:05] !caps | sandeep [01:05] sandeep: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:05] bastid_raZor: or is it sudo touch mount [01:05] dr_willis: I'm a scripting newbie - thanks again! [01:05] Guest88728: If it's just a .so, you can install both [01:05] ikyn_, you may want to go read some tcl tutorials then. [01:06] bastid_raZor: sorry i meant isomount [01:06] iI'm so sorry. [01:06] I just updated .Xresources, but I wonder if there's an easier way to do that [01:06] sandeep: just network security tools and Java IDEs. (Why someone in Toronto?) [01:06] Laderius; you are correct touch isomount works. in cli if you do something correctly you get no output if you mess up you then get errors. [01:06] network secrrity is fascinating for me too. What;s your email? [01:06] Laderius; now open isomount with a text editor and c/p the script [01:07] bastid_raZor: good to know, its my first week with linux and im trying to learn everything i can [01:07] sandeep: Sorry... I don't give that out. [01:07] Anyone know anything about Dell notebooks and sound problems in 8.10? [01:07] how hard is it to install a home server stuff...using CLI... [01:07] Wintre, hi there there :) [01:07] Wintre, no idea, sorry [01:07] how hard is it to install a home server stuff...using CLI... [01:07] rito: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:07] Wintre, I am a worker here,....please dont cause trouble ok : ) [01:07] may I give you mine? [01:07] wtf [01:07] Laderius; it takes a bit to learn, just stay positive and you'll be fine [01:07] rito: stop [01:07] "please dont cause trouble ok"? [01:07] ikyn_: I'll bet you'll find this site interesting: http://www.intuitive.com/wicked/wicked-cool-shell-script-library.shtml [01:07] bastid_raZor: after i sudo touch isomount where will i find the file to open? [01:08] rito: sudo apt-get update&& sudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo tasksel ...select LAMP install [01:08] sandeep: If you want a good way to get in touch with me, i'm usually on Freenode in one channel or another. [01:08] bastid_raZor: or do i gedit touch isomount [01:08] OK. so installed OOo 3 -- but xlsx still has the filter selection window -- any thoughts? [01:08] I will try it out , thanks. [01:08] :) [01:08] Laderius; you don't need to use sudo but that is okay.. you'll need to edit it with root permissions. which did you use sudo or just touch isomount? [01:09] bonhoffer: did you install the extra package? [01:09] dr_willis: it was the chmod +x problem, nothing in the script. Thanks again :) [01:09] How do I find which program is hogging up alsa? [01:09] bastid_raZor: i used both expecting an output [01:09] hello, is it necessary reboot after doing a modprobe ? [01:09] bonhoffer: odf-converter [01:09] Laderius; type ls -al isomount and tell me what it says. [01:09] rendero: nope [01:09] how can I tell netstat to return result for a specific port/range? [01:09] thx [01:10] hi folks. [01:10] sinbox, you have checked the netstat man pages? [01:10] bastid_raZor: -rwx------ 1 k4rm4 k4rm4 0 2009-01-06 18:07 isomount [01:10] !hello | tiyowan [01:10] tiyowan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:10] bastid_raZor: isomount is green [01:10] dr_willis, nope only netstat --help [01:10] Laderius; okay, you can edit it with gedit isomount .. you don't need to worry about chmod'ing the file after you c/p the script just move it with sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin [01:11] bastid_raZor: Just a general question not related to this... does a folder have to have any specific permissions to be mounted to? [01:11] jrib? [01:11] the_squircle, round two -- i thought OOo could do it [01:11] i m selling a hp e-pc do you went to by it sinbox? [01:12] Wintre: yes? [01:12] Who is this rito individual? [01:12] *rito*> What do you mean "don't cause trouble"? [01:12] *rito* intresting. [01:12] *rito* You came here to cause trouble. This is a support room. [01:12] bonhoffer: OOo can do it.. with that extra package ;) [01:12] the_squircle; it needs to be executable and readable [01:12] Wintre: I don't know. I assumed bot, but he stopped [01:12] bastid_raZor: 555? [01:12] the_squircle; 777 for just a folder for mounting things [01:13] urchin, wot? short answer = no, I don't buy computing equipment ;-) [01:13] Imagine. Yet another moron on IRC. [01:13] bastid_raZor: What will mount do if there are files in the folder you're trying to mount to? (I'm assuming fail) [01:13] bastid_raZor: okay, did that now how do i confirm it works [01:13] Wintre: :O morons on IRC? WHAT? [01:13] the_squircle; you really shouldn't mount it that way. use an empty folder [01:13] anyone here set up the buttons of a bluetooth headset to execute commands on ubuntu 8.10? I have the audio part working, just not sure what I should be looking at as far as setting up the buttons [01:14] Laderius; have you moved the file? [01:14] bastid_raZor: don't worry... I wasn't planning to. Thanks a bunch! [01:14] bastid_raZor: sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin [01:14] bastid_raZor: yep [01:14] is it possible to have windows and ubuntu in one partition? [01:15] kuyaba-tok: wubi [01:15] bastid_raZor: will isomount only mount isos, or will it do bin/cue/nrg too? [01:15] Laderius; okay, now sudo isomount /path/to/file.iso and it will mount or give errors [01:15] kuyaba-tok: or virtualization I guess [01:15] can anyone tell me a good Windows Emulator for Ubuntu? [01:15] wine? [01:15] SherlawkDragon: virtualbox [01:15] i use Sun XVM virtual box [01:15] rndmtngnt> Wine kinda... doesn't work [01:16] (and yes, that's the best explaination I can give...) [01:16] the_squircle; i've never attempted to use it to mount anything other than an iso.. feel free to let me know if it works [01:16] SherlawkDragon: what do you want to use it for? [01:16] overridex> will look [01:16] will do. [01:16] SherlawkDragon: virtualbox is cool, as long as you're not trying to game in it [01:16] bastid_raZor: bah got errors, one sec [01:17] I want to run VB apps and stuff [01:17] bastid_raZor: You must be root or an admin to use /usr/local/bin/isomount. and a string of notfounds [01:17] I'm looking for someone who has a very basic (if not fresh) installation of Ubuntu with all repositories enabled to help me test a script. Does anyone meet the criteria? [01:17] PrivateRolf i have a fresh install [01:17] Laderius; use sudo ;) [01:17] jrib: which one do you recommend? [01:17] I have windows programs on my computer that I want to run (the Windows was Vista, and I downloaded that update that was corrupting Vista systems) [01:17] Alright, I will Private Message you in a minute, Laderius. [01:18] I'm having this issue where the netwrok manager on my Ubuntu 8.10 shows only the wireless network i'm connected to and does not display all the other available wireless connections [01:18] kuyaba-tok: why do you want to have both on the same partition? [01:18] bastid_raZor: HA! amazing [01:18] mostly I just need something that will run windows apps (that works better than Wine, which doesn't really work) [01:18] jrib: i do not want to repartition my disk [01:18] Laderius; to mount you need sudo to unmount simply type isomount and it unmounts. [01:18] bastid_raZor: nice thanks alot [01:18] anyone have any suggestions as to how I could fix it? [01:18] SherlawkDragon: virtualbox will work for you, though you do need a windows cd to install into it [01:18] PrivateRolf: I've got a month old install; what kind of script is it? [01:18] crap [01:18] sherlawkdragon well thers not mutch etter then wine other then using something like vmware or dule booting [01:19] Laderius; glad i could help. it shows the mounted iso on your desktop too.. that should help in locating it if you like gui apps beter. [01:19] jrib: ill try wubi then, thx.. [01:19] see, I HAVE Windows Vista, it came on here, but the OS corrupted itself [01:19] kuyaba-tok: personally, I don't trust wubi. I would install ubuntu and virtualize windows. That should work fine as long as you don't need to play games on windows [01:19] SherlawkDragon sounds right [01:19] (personally, I wouldn't have taken Vista) [01:19] SherlawkDragon: which windows program you need to get to work? [01:19] hmmm, i can't enable desktop effects suddenly (don't know the cause [01:20] A VB app [01:20] how can i get an error code or message? [01:20] bastid_raZor: yeah its awesome thx [01:20] Tiyowan: It's a sort of idea I have going. What this script will do will resolve dependencies for Transmission 1.42 source, build it with the options I've specified, then remove the source package and its extracted directory, and the development dependencies. [01:20] sun xvm virtualbox runs every windows app i try and i use it to compile c++ code using dev c++ [01:20] I have my home directory on another partition and that's great for when I reinstall ubuntu or I want to try a different flavor of linux... but I don't like having to reinstall my favorite programs. Is there a way I can make it so that specific programs get installed when I reinstall ubuntu? [01:20] SherlawkDragon vb is one thing linux doesent play well with even with wine [01:20] SherlawkDragon: .net? [01:20] maybe I just need the VB DLL for Wine.. [01:20] i'm just getting a graphical "desktop effects could not be loaded" [01:20] I'm having this issue where the netwrok manager on my Ubuntu 8.10 shows only the wireless network i'm connected to and does not display all the other available wireless connections [01:20] no, just VB I think, let me see...

[01:42] try lsusb as well, to see what you find [01:42] sinbox: Kill the application that is accepting the connection is the preferred method. But if you want to block the port, you can do that as well, but would need to use iptables command to do that. The simplier method is to just stop the application. [01:42] www.dyndns.com has virtual servers that run ubuntu [01:42] overridex, like a virtual server yeah , to pay for an entire box [01:42] need help.. just installed ubuntu 8.10 did all my updates and installed compiz-fusion, when I apply compiz i do not get any window borders i tried emerald --replace nothing happens.. can anybody please help out [01:42] overridex, virtual box that is [01:43] techsupport: yeah, depends what you need i guess - the virtuals are dyndns.com are on pretty high end hardware on really fast connections [01:43] I want to rescan by USB bus.

[01:47] anyone please ? [01:47] gogereaver - On the Eee you had to unmute the capture to get OUTPUT to work! [01:47] anteaya, what info? [01:47] sp0wn yep [01:47] dr_willis, system information for bug reporting, my os [01:47] anteaya, not sure ther eis 1 command for that [01:47] sp0wn ho wait [01:48] sp0wn oh [01:48] sp0wn that means recording from it might not work [01:48] dr_willis, I'm pretty sure there is, I've just forgotten it, thanks anyway [01:48] I'd like to launch Xine via command line over ssh but it seems that Xine is looking at my session and cannot open the display, is there a way to load scripts or applications over ssh as if they were being run from the client machine itself?

[01:50] AnneShirley: in System>Preferences>Sessions theres a "Gnome Login Sound" checkbox, thats what i meant [01:50] AnneShirley: 8.10. It is WAY better... [01:50] yes it is a lot better :) [01:50] nbeebo - you're looking at the Volume Manager or what not... for the hard drive... try the speaker icon [01:50] AnneShirley: LTS means you only need to upgrade every 3 years instead of every 18 months. If that's not an issue for you, then go with 8.10 [01:51] * overridex wonders why his "PC Speaker" shows up under /proc/bus/input/devices [01:51] sp0wn thast the manager he whants [01:51] Ok. I'll shoot for 8.10 [01:51] sp0wn you can enabkle sound capture from there [01:51] any one to help? [01:51] gogereaver oh yeah? that's weird, then [01:51] jrib, i cant link? ???

[01:52] Ok. I'm with everyone else. I'm going to install 8.10. [01:52] AnneShirley: Go with 8.10, it is more reliable. [01:52] sp0wn, when u click on the speaker icon that is what shows [01:53] nbeebo: just don't create a url like that next time. There's no need to spam the channel with a hundred '-' [01:53] nbeebo in device manager on that windows [01:53] nbeebo switch the device to capture [01:53] nbeebo it should say like hda capture [01:53] hey guys [01:53] jrib, i didnt make that, filename was maybe 15 signs [01:53] Hello [01:54] nbeebo: you're missing the point [01:54] gogereaver, ok ill try [01:54] mavsman4456 - if you have an nvidia card, try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig" from a shell (command prompt) [01:54] josher4: Hello.

[02:24] myk_robinson: can't do that atm, but i can tell you what i see [02:24] usr13: yes [02:24] Circs: nevermind about the lshw, you already provided the chipset. Have you run all updates? [02:24] myk_robinson: yes [02:25] that chipset should pull a driver through the restricted driver manager.. Hang on a sec. [02:25] nbeebo acully that would mean you need brodcastong softwhere that supports mp3 playback [02:25] core2troll: See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174 [02:25] Circs: its quite a read, but here is a 24 page thread on the topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963978&highlight=broadcom+4310 [02:25] I will browse it and see what I can scope out [02:25] hey [02:25] Does anyone know how to get GPGs for Launchpad?

I had that same chipset on a laptop running 8.04 too, had to jump through some hoops, but documented it [02:26] gogereaver, hmm yeah.. but ill take that later on [02:26] Searacht: No, but if you buy Crossover, some of the profit goes to developing WINE, as it is a WINE port. [02:26] nbeebo never did it in linux but i bet icecash can do it [02:26] Circs: i wil look for the doc i made, i got to where I could get it working in three minutes from a clean install.. be right back [02:26] icecast [02:26] And Office 2007 has official, commercial support by Codeweavers. [02:27] phrostbite: seems so, your choice what program to use, is very possible though, let me look around at the MANs here.

[03:08] actionparsnip: man chmod 777? [03:08] Okay. Odd question. I'm installing Ubuntu on Vista, and resizing the Vista partition. I've messed up , haven't I? [03:08] davit: man chmod only [03:09] davit: i wouldnt use 777 unless necessary [03:09] Does anyone know how well CPU autoclocking is supported in Ubuntu? I have autoclocking turn on in my BIOS, but I have to wonder if it's actually working when running Ubuntu. [03:09] Redcard: Installing on vista, using wubi [03:09] davit: its not very secure [03:09] Redcard, Actually, that is a much better choice that wubi.. from inside windows [03:09] Redcard: first mistake... vista.... second, resizing the partition... don't think it will like that 2 much [03:09] than [03:09] tyler_d: The computer came with it, didn't have a real choice. So how long does the resize typically take? [03:09] actionparsnip: I need to use it to access a external drive im not being let to use or move any of them [03:09] Que tiPO De GeNte aiNDa eNtRa aQui¿?

[03:10] hello, i just got a second ip address from my provider. now i want to setup a webpage on my ubuntu ststem how do i do this? [03:10] davit: how are you mounting it? try using UIDs etc to set permissions [03:10] Redcard: my concern would be what utility are you using to resize the partition? [03:10] oi amigos [03:10] tyler_d: Guided install. [03:10] Redcard: as windows vista is pretty picky about how big it thinks it is.... [03:10] davit: http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users [03:11] actionparsnip: It automounts when I connect it, and when i right click on drive to change permissions says they cannot be found [03:11] It seemed to recognize it was vista, and left the loader. I'd assume (and probabbly incorrectly) that it would have popped a warning if it thought it shouldn't be done [03:11] I have a Ubuntu install but the GRUB bootblock is erased. What's the best plan of attack to reinstall grub for it? [03:11] Redcard: with guided it should take maybe maybe 5 minutes [03:11] davit: i'd check the options its mounting with [03:11] tyler_d: It's a guided resize. It's had the "Please wait" message up for about 30 minutes [03:11] I LOVE LAMP [03:11] con-man: I LOVE CARPET [03:12] Hmm, I've changed video cards from an nvidia card (it died) an ati card, and I'm trying to figure out how to set it up so I have the right resolution on my monitors, anybody have a sample xorg.conf or 2 that I might find useful? [03:12] Redcard: thats scary, hopefully someone will confirm my course of action... restart, and ensure that vista is still in tact before trying again [03:12] actionparsnip: How can i check it [03:12] Dam0: pop open a terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal) and type sudo apt-get install apache2 then just put your website files in /var/www [03:12] I cannot get DNS to resolve on a box on my internal LAN. Internet is shared from this computer, acting as a gateway, to the Internet. how can I start troubleshooting? [03:12] hi guys... is it a good idea to install a higher version of wine than the default? It seems very old (1.0.1) as opposed to the current (1.1.12) [03:12] davit: run mount on its own [03:13] Anyone want to confirm tyler_d's suggestion? [03:13] Don't worry, won't blame ya. :) [03:13] :d [03:13] actionparsnip: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [03:14] davit: are you logged in as yourself? [03:14] Oh well, live and let die :) [03:14] actionparsnip: yes [03:14] hello guys how do i install this theme heres the link: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Silver?content=96370 [03:14] davit: good, then you should be ok [03:14] <_dennister> hey channel, finally got my xorg.conf using my video card properly, now totem doesn't crash when starting a commercial dvd, but vlc does crash with a dvd with these settings...lol...vlc doesn't crash while playing a flash video, so it's dvd-specific [03:15] <_dennister> anyone know why this might happen? [03:15] anyway to force the v4l2 to use xine instead of gstreamer?? really not a big fan of gstreamer at all! [03:15] davit: thats your / partition, not the mounted drive [03:15] it just somehow messed up all my stuff after my last update [03:16] davit: you usb drive wil be /media/ [03:16] Can I make my shell script do an specific action when it receives a "ctrl+c"? === vickinha_nit is now known as barbie_cullen [03:17] hi there === x_ is now known as mr_sukor [03:17] omarco: it'll stop, ctrl+c == break [03:17] actionparsnip: the folder is /media/disk [03:17] test [03:17] davit: so what does mount say about that mounting? [03:17] <\kira> leonut: Your test worked [03:17] I am running wine and use a program that primarily uses the clipboard to grab copied data from a webpage. Is there some fix for wine and the clipboard ? [03:18] actionparsnip: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [03:18] titefuzz, /join #winehq [03:18] davit: thats cool, ext3 is nice and friendly [03:18] can anyone help me get DNS resolving on my internal network? I am not sure how to diagnose the problem at this point. I simply cannot reach the world wide web [03:18] ty Jack_Sparrow [03:18] np [03:18] ActionParsnip: Only more elaborate programs can control what to do if the user presses "ctrl+c" (e.g. removing lock files)? [03:18] <\kira> If I set up a tunnel, can I send more than one application through that tunnel? So rather than setting up a tunnel for xchat, then one for firefox, could I just put them both through the same tunnel? [03:18] erisco: what does traceroute show you as your gateway? [03:19] \kira: yes [03:19] erisco: alternately from term what does `route` show ? [03:19] omarco: sure they can. [03:19] <\kira> kitche: cool, thanks [03:19] You need to trap SIGINT [03:19] actionparsnip: Its not allowing me to change or edit any files on the drive [03:19] tyler_d, execute these on the gateway? [03:19] which I have no idea how to do in shell scriptish [03:19] davit: i'd try sudo chmod -R 755 /media.disk [03:19] <_dennister> lol...spoke too soon...totem did play the dvd, but now is crashing just like vlc [03:19] werdnum: but lowly shell scripts can't do that, can they? [03:19] tyler_d, the internal network uses HDCP [03:19] davit: i'd also chown to files to your username if it intends to be a permanent fixture [03:19] tyler_d, HDCP* [03:19] ... [03:20] tyler_d, DHCP** :P [03:20] :-O [03:20] tyler_d, IP addresses get assigned correctly. however, DNS does not resolve. [03:20] actionparsnip: Cool the chmod fixed it [03:20] tyler_d, I have been following this: http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/how-to-share-your-internet-connection-on-ubuntu/ [03:20] erisco: can you ping IPs? [03:20] erisco: so you can visit 64.233.167.99? [03:21] actionparsnip: How do I use chown [03:21] erisco: in a terminal paste `route` and tell me the output please, if its over 2 lines please use pastebin [03:21] davit: sudo chown -R /media/disk [03:21] <_dennister> i'll be back in a few minutes folks...

[03:22] actionparsnip: Thanks youve been only one that bee able to help I been looking for a week [03:23] tyler_d, it just sits there [03:23] its a common command dude, im suprised [03:23] tyler_d, do you want these executed on the gateway or a computer in the internal network? [03:23] anyone can help me with my v4l2 issue? [03:23] actionparsnip: Everyone else has been telling me to repartionin and stuff [03:23] erisco: what do you mean by "on the gateway"? [03:23] v4l2? [03:23] what thats [03:24] tyler_d, my computer is acting as the gateway to the internal network [03:24] <\kira> how could I trace the route a tunnel takes? [03:24] that's the video 4 linux lib [03:24] tyler_d, as I posted the link, I am trying to share an internet connection coming over wifi with a wired network [03:24] actionparsnip: I remembered chmod from servers i had but couldn't remember he command [03:24] \kira: install trace route [03:24] erisco: by chance did you set the dhcpcd server to pass the dns servers along as well or no? [03:24] davit: no need, just take ownership [03:24] <\kira> tyler_d: I have it installed.... [03:24] First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the permissi [03:24] ons are set [03:24] mr_sukor: it allow programs like amsn to use webcam. [03:24] davit: should have read the man pages [03:24] erisco: you need to set the gateway back to your router, judging from your post it should be 192.168.1.0 [03:24] ic [03:24] i'm using pidgin [03:25] <\kira> tyler_d: Im wondering how I could trace the route a tunnel on a port takes, rather than the traditional way it does it (not sure how) [03:25] and still wait for the webcam option [03:25] kitche, well, in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf there is a configuration option to specify the DNS server, and it is correct [03:25] tyler_d: why ubuntu by default install traceroute6 and not the usual traceroute? [03:25] mr_sukor, don't hold your breath on it. [03:25] mr_sukor: i dont tyhink pidgin likes webcams, amsn does if you are using msn protocol [03:25] mr_sukor, not a big fan of the whole situation with that. [03:25] tyler_d, that command was run on my computer though, not from a computer on the internal network [03:25] ActionParsnip, That factoid covers it correctly right [03:26] tyler_d, should the gateway not be 192.168.0.1 which is the address of this computer? [03:26] ari_stress: it installs both [03:26] actionparsnip: thanks again [03:26] mr_sukor, the lead developers of pidgin pretty much say they don't care.. we'll do it whenever we feel like it.. [03:26] ic [03:26] thanks spencer [03:27] tyler_d, am I making sense? [03:27] kitche: no, i don't have ordinary traceroute by default, only traceroute6, strange [03:27] do u know how to install amsn by using command prompt? [03:27] Good evening! Do I need to perform extra tasks for installing Ubuntu on a Vista system? (there are enough partitions for Ubuntu). This is the first time I dual boot vista with anything. XP has always been all right. Thanks [03:27] Is it possible to control what a shell script would do if it receives a "CTRL+C" (e.g. removing a pseudo lock file)? Or is that only possible with more refined programs? [03:27] mr_sukor, sudo apt-get install amsn [03:27] ok [03:27] thanks === jewel is now known as minus18_pundit [03:28] spencer: as is the case with any project [03:28] what command do I use to list all hard drives currently connected to my system? [03:28] anyway, can someone help me with my v4l2 issue? [03:28] snowveil: sudo fdisk -l [03:28] is ubuntu have software like virtual drive? [03:28] snowveil, sodu fdisk -l [03:28] thanks :) [03:28] <\kira> K_Dallas: yes, there is extra steps to take to avoid not being able to boot into windows, or not being able to boot into ubuntu, or deleting windows by accedint. I personnally, have never done dual boot and wouldnt know, but i do know there is alot of well written tutorials online (google) [03:28] mr_sukor: you can mount isos in a stock system [03:29] k, dev/sdc [03:29] how would I format it? [03:29] do u mean extract it? [03:29] !iso [03:29] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [03:29] ActionParsnip, well, yeah, but there's enuf demand, and gaim-vv does have a startup framework.. it's a good start on getting it done. [03:29] Wow. I'm amazed that worked. [03:29] snowveil, gparted [03:29] \kira> well, I only meant extra steps due to vista being vista otherwise have done dual boot with xp, linux, ... [03:30] mr_sukor: you can mount it just like you mount cd drives [03:30] how can install the packages i have downloaded through Add/Remove. i coudn't install the packages last time due to a power outage. i've downloaded almost 140 packges. [03:30] ActionParsnip, and don't get me started with their decision on moving to monotone as the version control.. it just make it that much less friendly to start hacking the project... [03:30] <\kira> K_Dallas: oh, I see. I wouldnt think there would be any extra steps, but im not the person to ask, I tried vista on a friends computer and will never go near it again. [03:30] hi, how do i get mozilla's firefox "All Downloads Are finished" dialog from covering up my gnome panel [03:30] spencer: i just use stuff, i dont care for any politics [03:30] minus18_pundit, are they all from our repos.. [03:30] !clone [03:30] 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 [03:30] some of windows game cant play well in ubuntu? [03:30] mr_sukor: the system will see the iso or the physical cd as the same [03:30] minus18_pundit: you go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and execute: sudo apt-get -f install [03:30] any ideas? [03:30] !appdb | mr_sukor [03:30] mr_sukor: 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 [03:31] \kira> ok, thanks. I continue googling ;) [03:31] !appdb > mr_sukor [03:31] mr_sukor, goto winehq and take a look. [03:31] mr_sukor, please see my private message [03:31] Found what I did :P Sillyness. [03:31] !lan | jessid [03:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about lan [03:31] mr_sukor: theres also cedega which is paidfor software as well as crossover office (also nonfree) [03:31] mr_sukor, search for the app, they will tell you if it's playable.. i play WoW everynight with my Ubuntu 8.10... [03:31] <\kira> K_Dallas: well, someone else on here might know, the only reason I pointed you to google in the first place is because I thought you were asking alot of a more basic question [03:32] !intranet > jessid [03:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about intranet [03:32] So how many partitions should I create since I get to do this manually? [03:32] mr_sukor, sometimes you may have to copy some files from your XP c:\windows\system32 to your .wine folder tho.. just check winehq from more info on what you wanna do [03:32] Redcard, at least 3 [03:32] \kira> that is all right. I am really googling and there is no shame in it :):) Thanks again [03:33] Redcard, / = root /home and a swap at minimum [03:33] Redcard: you'll need a / and /swap at least, i'd suggest a sepearate one for /home too [03:33] <\kira> K_Dallas: no problem, good luck :) [03:33] Jack_Sparrow: Okay.. none of these will be at beginning of the disk. [03:33] if I want this drive to be readable to both windows machines and linux, will ext2 work fine, or should I stick with fat32? [03:33] savvas: it installed something bbut those were not what i have downloaded last night [03:33] hi [03:33] any idea why Banshee would be failing to play everything in my music directory? It's all .mp3's without any form of DRM [03:33] Redcard, You will probably need to create an extended partition to hold logicals if you go over 4 partitions [03:33] daw: have you instaled mp3 codecs? [03:34] oh ... well .. that would be a good reason ..... what package would I look in for those? [03:34] <\kira> snowveil: you cant read ex2 file systems in windows without additional software, and I would recommend fat32 if it needs to be used constantly by both operating systems. I guess it depends on how much each OS will be using it [03:34] !codecs | daw [03:34] minus18_pundit: if the packages were downloaded or not completed, the add/remove downloader will continue from where it left. So you go back to Applications > Add/Remove and check again what you wanted :) [03:34] Hmm. [03:34] daw: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:34] snowveil, Just to clarify... you cant install ubuntu on fat or ntfs [03:34] test [03:34] <\kira> snowveil: also (in case I miss-understood your question, you cant install linux on fat or ntfs [03:34] thanks \kira , it's mostly for occasional transfers from my system to a friend's [03:34] Jack_Sparrow: not even w/ wubi? [03:35] daw: install the package named ubuntu-restricted-extras :) [03:35] <\kira> snowveil: No problem :) [03:35] correct, this is a portable drive :) [03:35] kc8pxy, No [03:35] Hello Jack_Sparrow ...I have a no new laptop that is all but 100% compatible with Ubuntu, but on to my question. I'm just not happy unless I'm trying to do something with a little challenge involved. I have executable text file that I brought over from my windows pc and I want to open it. [03:35] kc8pxy, Wubi does not install to an ntfs it creates a lvm [03:35] kc8pxy: since wubi installs inside of a image which has the ext* filesystem inside of it [03:35] is there any way to get a TrendNet TEW-444UB to work with ubuntu? [03:35] Quagmire, setup vbox [03:36] yoyit2: what is it? [03:36] jack : why my ubuntu font rendering keep changing? [03:36] Jack_Sparrow, Hmmm just look for the software and install? [03:36] ActionParsnip: its a usb wifi stick [03:36] <\kira> in the terminal, the command 'ls', what does the color of a directory with a blue backgroun and white text mean? [03:36] !vbox [03:36] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [03:36] kitche: Quagmire just run it via wine :) [03:36] Quagmire, Use synaptic and look up virtualbox [03:36] yoyit2: ok then run lsusb, it will give you an identifier you can websearch for [03:37] thanks! [03:37] Quagmire, Depending on what type of exe.. even dosbox might work [03:37] ActionParsnip: in terminal?? [03:37] Quagmire: do you want to run windows inside your linux, (virtualbox) or run it "natively" (wine) ?? [03:37] yoyit2: always in terminal [03:38] ActionParsnip, i'm always having issue with gstreamer on the color being negative.. do you have any lights to shed??? [03:38] ActionParsnip: so just type in "lsusb" or "sudo lsusb"?? [03:38] Jack_Sparrow: Wubi doesn't create an lvm. It creates a loopback file system inside a file in the ntfs partition. I think you got your L-jargon mixed up ;) [03:38] yoyit2: lsusb [03:38] yoyit2: you dont need sudo for every terminal command [03:38] rww, thanks' [03:38] ActionParsnip: ok so it says "now firmware"? [03:38] rww, I wont use or recommend it since it was part of a crash that wiped out my ntfs and windows [03:39] ActionParsnip: **no [03:39] ActionParsnip: any other ideas? [03:39] yoyit2: can you give a pastebin of lsusb [03:39] !paste | yoyit2 [03:39] yoyit2: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:39] i want to back all my downloaded package through aptoncd. but aptoncd only shows 350 mb sized packages. i have downloaded 10 times more then that. how can have all my packages llisted in aptoncd? [03:39] rrw: it makes a file to be a loopback ext3 fs, and simply loads the fs loopback from within the ntfs it can ntfs-3g??? :) [03:39] Jack_Sparrow, there are a bunch of them to choose from (virtualbox) which one is likely the better one for me? 8.10 32 bit version installed [03:39] ActionParsnip: can you send me a link [03:39] yoyit2: ubottu just gave you it [03:40] kc8pxy: that sounds like an accurate description, yes [03:40] Hi. I've got a thinkpad R61. One day, my computer lost the ability to suspend when I close the lid. Instead, it ... freezes? How do I go about restoring this or at least debugging it? I shut the computer, and the "sleep light" never starts blinking, and the fan never turns off. When I open it back up, I've got a blank screen and the only thing I can do is forcibly shut off the computer. [03:40] kc8pxy: I don't recommend it either, I just know quite a lot from when I used to use it. [03:40] Hi all, Help please, hooked pc to 42 inch plasma changed resolution mistake . now i cannot change screen res back too big for my screen. what is command in terminal to change resolution back to 1154x864? [03:40] <\kira> !fuse [03:40] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs.

[03:41] spencer: what do you mean? [03:41] I'm not trying to run windows ...I just have a executable text file that I'm trying to get open [03:41] Quagmire, I installed virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-source vboxgtk and virtualbox-ose-guest-utils [03:41] rww: doesn't that mean that if a user screws the windows, with an unclean shutdown, you will have a read-only ubuntu fs(AT BEST)?? [03:41] Quagmire: text files open with Applications > Accessories > Text editor [03:41] yoyit2: http://paste.ubuntu.com [03:41] the hue is stuck with a value of 0, and cannot be changed so the movies are at best looking like a negative image [03:41] I drag and drop an item onto AWN but it doesnt add the launcher/shortcut. Any tips? [03:42] does anybody own an xps m1530 laptop with intrepid ibex? [03:42] ActionParsnip: it should be there [03:42] yoyit2: paste text in there, hit paste, give us the page yu go to [03:42] ActionParsnip: just pasted it [03:42] kc8pxy: I think that might be the case, yes. Not sure, though. [03:42] I want to know if it is a 64-bit or 32-bit system.. [03:42] yoyit2: we need the new address you go to [03:42] Quagmire, vbox will have you install windows inside vbox.. Is the file something that I can test for you [03:42] ActionParsnip: haha, my bad... http://paste.ubuntu.com/101447/ [03:42] how can a back up all my downloaded packges using aptoncd. aptoncd isn't showing all the packages. it just shows a total of 350 mb. but i have download 10 times more then that [03:42] spencer: have you tried with some other players except totem (Movie Player)? Like mplayer ? [03:42] yoyit2: thanks [03:42] woli: what CPU/processor does it have? [03:43] * kc8pxy puts another undeline under "DO NOT DO THIS" next to wubi on his personal checklist. [03:43] :) [03:43] My performance is really off and I think that is due to graphics issues. While memory use is low (I have several GB of free RAM) and the CPU isn't very busy either the interface is slow and often hangs for a few seconds before an action is performed (like opening a new tab in firefox). Also, video playback is rusty. I have an nvidia 8800 GT with the nvidia-glx-177 driver (I've tried downgrading to 173 but didn't help). I've tried several [03:43] things so far, including browsing the logs, but no luck yet. Does anyone have any pointers as to where I could look for a solution? [03:43] rww, is Core 2 Duo enough? [03:43] yoyit2: looks like it uses ndiswrapper [03:43] savvas, anything that uses gstreamer as the video lib will have the same issue.. but if i switch to totem-xine and it works perfect.. [03:43] woli: Yeah. All Intel Core 2 processors can run either 32-bit or 64-bit; your choice. [03:43] yoyit2: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-684611.html [03:43] savvas, did some google search, some people have the issue the other way around. [03:43] rww, which do you recommend me? [03:43] How can I stop ubuntu from doing a disk check at bootup? [03:43] jack sparrow : why my font rendering keep changing itself? [03:43] xavieran, Not a good idea [03:44] minus18_pundit: Whatever aptoncd shows, that's what you've downloaded (unless you've used the apt-get autoclean or apt-get clean command, which would remove all downloaded cached packages). Unfortunately with the power outage it means some data was lost. [03:44] Jack_Sparrow: I disk check when I want to... not when my computer wants to... [03:44] spencer: no idea, sorry :\ [03:44] woli: 1) How much memory/RAM does the computer have? 2) Do you use it for specialized stuff like scientific computation, high-end video editing, etc? [03:44] Jack_Sparrow, you sure can test it out ...its a tiny file [03:44] xavieran, It is ill advised to turn it off [03:44] I think it might not be the driver but the window manager that isn't working properly, but I'm not sure how to prove or disprove that. [03:45] rww, it has 4gb ram, and the toughest things I use are 3D games. [03:45] !ndiswrapper | yoyit2 [03:45] Quagmire, Find a place where I can grab it online [03:45] yoyit2: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:45] xavieran: it's not recommended, but you can turn it off by opening /etc/fstab and changing the last option on each line from 1 to 0. [03:45] savvas, i'll try other gstreamer codec and see if that helps :( [03:45] jack sparrow : why my font rendering keep changing? [03:45] xavieran: tune2fs -c 0 /dev/of/root, but i second Jack_Sparrow. it's not wise for most users. [03:45] Thanks rww [03:45] rww, is 64-bit faster? [03:45] woli, of course [03:45] kc8pxy: I know what I'm doing, don't worry :) [03:45] To add items to AWN, create a launcher somewhere other than the desktop, then drag and drop it onto AWN [03:45] What are the cons of using 64-bit? [03:46] CaptainMorgan: only in certain cases, not always faster [03:46] espcially woli if you're using 3d [03:46] woli: You probably won't notice much difference. The only thing is that most 32-bit Operating Systems (including Ubuntu by default) can't address more than 3.something GB of memory. [03:46] woli: encoding music etc is much faster [03:46] I have a Ubuntu 8.04 box locking up on my a lot lately. It locks and the keyboard lights flash. I have looked in all logs, but there is -nothing- logged that shows failure. any ideas on what I should look at? [03:46] kc8pxy, Famous last words [03:46] ActionParsnip, of course, why did you feel the need to educate me? [03:46] :D [03:46] rww, how much ram can 64bit systems address? [03:46] woli: you're stuck at blazing speeds, fast programs and very good performance - other than that, maybe your java won't work properly [03:47] CaptainMorgan: its not automatically faster in all cases === lacita_ is now known as quilr [03:47] woli: way, way more than you'll ever have. [03:47] can someone point me to the 64 bit ubuntu room? [03:47] ActionParsnip, did I say it was? === quilr is now known as lacita__ [03:47] Greencoat1982: there isn't a separate 64-bit room. Do you have a support question? [03:47] rww, lol.. that sounds pretty evil [03:47] 2^64 bytes :) [03:47] woli: it's several thousand GB, I think [03:47] woli: last time i checked, my amd64 kernel compiles showed 64GB adressable as an option. [03:47] ActionParsnip, he brought up 3D, hence my response [03:47] CaptainMorgan: (03:45:42) woli: rww, is 64-bit faster? [03:47] (03:45:55) CaptainMorgan: woli, of course [03:47] ActionParsnip, and what is the problem? [03:47] CaptainMorgan: oic, my bad [03:47] CaptainMorgan: apologies [03:48] ActionParsnip, cheers [03:48] Ok this is my problem, i keep forgetting on how to add my ssh keys to the authorized_keys file. I have my keys in username/.ssh/mykey.pub i want to put it in authorized_keys to use when i log in on from remote client. How do I add it to log in as username@host? [03:48] youtube redirects to the french version of the site on this computer running ubuntu and no others on my network. why is it doing this terribly annoying thing and how can i fix it (I am in the US..) [03:48] hi [03:48] CaptainMorgan: are you from teh UK [03:48] savvas: amarok, audacity, etc are installed. llike these, many installed software are not being listed in aptoncd [03:48] what, besides java malfunction, is bad about 64bit ubuntu? [03:48] yes I just upgraded my mother board and cpu toa amd64 athlon 5600 and I want to upgrade my os to 64 bit too, however it won;'t recognize any boot cd's [03:48] ActionParsnip, that kind of convo will be in ubuntu-offtopic ;) [03:48] woli: in my experience, thats it [03:48] Hey, I just installed Ubuntu on my brothers laptop but WiFi doesn't work. What's the deal? [03:48] Hi all, is there a command in terminal to restore my screen resolution to 1152x864 [03:48] woli: Flash, Java, Wine, and everything else work fine for me on 64-bit Ubuntu. Some people have problems with them though. [03:48] CaptainMorgan: on my way [03:48] I've already made sure my bios is in the right boot order [03:49] rww, which is your processor? [03:49] s [03:49] CaptainMorgan: its a qq [03:49] ok.. finally taking the leap to linux... now I want to install it on a laptop... will I have any driver issues (my wifi, graphics card etc)? [03:49] for wifi update your ubuntu [03:49] huh? [03:49] woli: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 [03:49] Greencoat1982: what does it say when you try a 64-bit installer cd? [03:49] It's the latest one! [03:49] Kole: depends on your hardware the laptop has [03:49] It's 8.10 [03:49] !hcl | Kole [03:49] Kole: 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 [03:49] rww, that sounds like some sort of satanic apocalyptic thing [03:49] rww, how many ghz? [03:50] once u update ur ubuntu it will give u options for non gnu drivers just instal them ur wifi will work [03:50] nothing the cursorjust blinks and then goes to grub [03:50] woli: 2.4Hz per core [03:50] Oh! [03:50] thanks rww - so it SHOULD detect automaticly though? [03:50] Bad ass! [03:50] Kole, time will tell... but how will you know if you don't take the plunge? But before doing so, review the HCL [03:50] Thanks [03:50] I'll try that [03:50] Kole: depends on your hardware [03:50] NEWK2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:50] ok [03:50] NEWK2: probably the wifi is not supported fully if at all [03:50] !HCL | Kole [03:50] Kole: 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 [03:50] rww, is that anything like an optigigadualcorepro? [03:50] minus18_pundit: as said, with the power outage some data was probably lost. It's not my nor your fault. If you want to downlaod them again, just purge the installed packages and reinstall [03:50] Greencoat1982: can you force it int eh bootorder to NOT boot, unless from cd? [03:50] na all wifi are supported [03:50] I just know very little about linux... other then what ive done on my eeepc [03:50] ur must be a broadcom wifi harware [03:50] CaptainMorgan: no need to give him that twice now :) [03:50] do you mean with bios? [03:51] its definately supported i'm currently using it [03:51] im kind of excited and frighteend at the same time :P [03:51] kitche, ? that was a courtesy [03:51] I have the boot order set to the dvd rom [03:51] Kole: I'd recommend grabbing an Ubuntu LiveCD and booting from it. If it works on there, it should work after you install it. [03:51] !training > Quagmire [03:51] Quagmire, please see my private message [03:51] Kole, thats just about normal. [03:51] Id rather take the full plunge [03:51] CaptainMorgan: just that was given a few minutes before you did it just don't want to scare people away [03:51] its what i do [03:51] ah I see what you mean I';ll go try and be back in a few mniutes [03:51] Kole, you might wanna learn right about partitioning [03:51] kitche, didn't see that.. oops [03:52] i know partitioning [03:52] Isusb is for 8.10 right?? so what is it for 8.04????????????????????/ [03:52] Ok this is my problem, i keep forgetting on how to add my ssh keys to the authorized_keys file. I have my keys in username/.ssh/mykey.pub i want to put it in authorized_keys to use when i log in on from remote client. How do I add it to log in as username@host? [03:52] thats not a problem [03:52] Kole: if its not natively supported you can use ndiswrapper + xp driver [03:52] Kole, I can give you council, if you need. [03:52] kitche, given to him? [03:52] kole just wait till you decide to go to #ubuntu+1 ... [03:52] !who | Kole [03:52] kitche, oops :) [03:52] Kole: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:52] ndiswrapper is complicated [03:52] have to partition to use windows ;) [03:52] yoyit2: same thing, its the same in all *nix's [03:52] I am having issues with my HD display "filling the entire screen", there are black bars around my desktop on my display [03:52] !tab [03:52] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:53] ActionParsnip: cuz it says "comand not found" [03:53] kole I just had to battle with a homebuilt nvidia-glx-177 that uninstalled xorg and wouldnt let me apt-get remove it [03:53] captain : before this i'm using samsung printer after that i'm using hp laserjet [03:53] but the hp wont work as samsung [03:53] any idea? [03:53] yoyit2: lsusb (ell ess you ess bee) [03:53] minor irritation -- my ubuntu splash screen disappears and I get a string of information about what services are being started up. Is this normal or did I break something? [03:53] so how much of a partition should i give ubuntu? [03:53] sorry.. mr_sukor are you talking to me? I don't see a captain listed... [03:53] norml [03:54] yes captain [03:54] !tab | mr_sukor [03:54] mr_sukor: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:54] im asking anyone in general :) [03:54] CaptainMorgan: yes [03:54] mr_sukor, please use tab complete if your client allows it... and secondly I missed your original question, please repeat(with tab completion :)) [03:54] kole give it what you are comfortable with. [03:54] mr_sukor, thanks [03:54] whats the min it needs? [03:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessBroadcastSystem ActionParsnip [03:54] daw: can be normal if you press a button during bootup but yes that information it shows you is what linux really looks like when booting [03:54] kole but if you're not using vista to partition it, I would suggest defragging in windows [03:54] before [03:54] ActionParsnip: but some of it i dont get [03:54] CaptainMorgan: so can i solve that? [03:55] ActionParsnip: [03:55] savvas: is there anyother way to back up installed software? i want to include the codecs, the drivers. [03:55] ActionParsnip: sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "my network" mode Master enc off [03:55] Im gonna partition as I format [03:55] ActionParsnip: ath0 doesnt wotk [03:55] yoyit2: if you run the first command you will reduce security on your system [03:55] Kole: 4GB, including swap space. I'd recommend at least 8GB, plus space for any other stuff you know you'll need space for (music, etc.) [03:55] kole aah. i gave mine 20 [03:55] mr_sukor, please re-ask or rephrase the original question - with as much detail in one line as is permissible [03:55] Kole: 8GB at least, you'll be more than fine with 15GB root ("/"), 2GB swap and the rest to your /home [03:55] yoyit2: if you havent configured the wifi you won't have an ath0 [03:55] what if I just give it everything? [03:56] full 160 gig? [03:56] CaptainMorgan: my printer didnt work after i change to the new printer [03:56] kole why not?? [03:56] ActionParsnip: k.... REALLY new to ubuntu, but how do i get this to work?? i really need a walk through [03:56] kole if you dont care about windows [03:56] yoyit2: for your usb adapter you need to use ndiswrapper + the xp32 or XP64 driver [03:56] nope [03:56] Kole: that would work too. Mine has 237GB right now and is using about 4% of it [03:56] Kole:you can but what if you want to reinstall the os? you will lose all your home stuff [03:56] perfect [03:56] more space for music and movies [03:56] hmm. [03:56] yoyit2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [03:57] kole you may wish to look in to seperating / and /home [03:57] Ive been using this as a work/home computer... but screw it, im gonna make it an only home computer and use the comp they give me at work [03:57] mr_sukor, we're going to need a little more detail than that.. but being vague in the answering, maybe check to see if it's set to default.. and by "didn't work" what didn't actually work? did it not print? did it not power on? etc [03:57] !detail [03:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about detail [03:57] ugh [03:57] egad, my brand new lenovo has a stuck pixel... [03:57] CaptainMorgan: try this: non-standard mode setting for a framebuffer console (1024x600) on a 945gm - I have run gtf and cvt but I don't know where that information is useful. need guidance! [03:58] * unavailable wonders if anyone can point out the goods of seperating / and /home [03:58] for kole [03:58] CaptainMorgan: before this i'm using samsung, and its work perfectly [03:58] Kole:if you have the whole hard drive this is what i did (/boot, /, /home, swap [03:58] * CaptainMorgan is getting strange interference in here... [03:58] CaptainMorgan: then i buy a new one, HP laser jet [03:58] unavailable: create and format a partition, add its line to /etc/fstab to mount it as /home [03:58] akio, huh? [03:58] akio, why do I need to try that/ [03:59] CaptainMorgan: but this laser jet wont print anything [03:59] unavailable: then copy the data over to the partition for the existing users [03:59] having /home on a separate partition is good if you re-install...it keeps your settings and everything [03:59] CaptainMorgan: you said to put as much info into one line as possible, i tried [03:59] which laser jet do u have [03:59] mr_sukor, so go back to samsung if that's your fancy... does the HP get recognized at least? [03:59] oh i forgot to ask [03:59] CaptainMorgan: i've set it to defaut and insert the correct driver.. do u have any idea? [03:59] mr_sukor: HP model and number? [03:59] how much script work is involved with ubuntu... or is it totally graphical? [03:59] CaptainMorgan: I am trying to get textmode to work on a 1024x600 screen [03:59] is there anyother way other then aptoncd to back up installed software? i want to include the codecs, the drivers. [04:00] akio, but I don't recall talking with you, kindly.. so I'm not sure as to your problem [04:00] CaptainMorgan: yes it recognize as well [04:00] kole depends on what you use it for. [04:00] akio, that's an area I'm not familiar with, but I'm sure someone else will help you ;) [04:00] savvas: hp laser jet 1020 [04:00] well im a writer ( commercials etc) I do web design and want to use it for music and videos [04:00] kole mostly graphical but can get into the CLI [04:00] kole and plus the CLI is fun [04:00] mr_sukor, so it's recognized.. did you check the cabling?

[04:28] joseph: of course [04:28] kc8pxy are u a ham radio opperator [04:28] albech: just create the file.

[04:28] how do i delete a user in terminal [04:29] you might want to get something like Iron monkey where the flash drive itself is encrypted [04:29] ham radio [04:29] techsupport userdel [04:29] Joeseph: not really. A compromised computer could just copy the private key off the USB flash drive and keylog your password [04:30] rww: Would they have to be in possesion of my flash drive, or the computer I used it on?

But in that case, couldn't I just reset my private key? [04:34] pyrak: open terminal then type echo $path [04:34] <[TiZ]> I need to make it so that the sansa mounts with write access. Can anyone help? [04:34] pyrak: so you need to edit .bashrc in your home directory [04:34] Cpudan80, well, i'm not sure if this value only is used by the install script, or if its used by the program itself later [04:34] techsupport if not then user useradd to add the users and then to give the user root permissions then you would add them to the /etc/sudoers file [04:34] I'm going to guess I know the answer to this, but: is there a silverlight v2 plug-in for mozilla on linux? I would guess "No," but want confirmation [04:34] pyrak: oh let me look [04:34] Hi. I cannot get my printer working with 8.10. I had been running 7.10 and had it working. A bare-metal install of 8.10 and ubuntu cannot find my HP laserjet 5MP. A google cast no light. Little help?

[04:35] thanks niriven [04:35] vanden: go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and execute: sudo hp-setup [04:35] pyrak: i didnt..... [04:35] pyrak: nah it looks like you only need it for the install [04:35] it's very possible that i don't need to actually do anything for step 1, i guess [04:35] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [04:35] pyrak: so you would just do ... [04:35] mauricio_: no, just the community docs and googling ubuntu + printer model. Will try [04:35] unavailable, ^^that was my output [04:35] vanden: it will ask for your password, you type it in and press enter, and follow the intructions [04:36] export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/GHC [04:36] daw, acutally it look slike theres a moonlight 2.0 [04:36] when i do useradd someuser , it snot even prompting to specify password for new user [04:36] Do NOT forget $PATH in there!!! [04:36] That is very important!!! [04:36] some mpd user?

Didn't use hp-setup on the last install, but I'll give it a go. [04:37] why does rhythmbox music player, play my albums from last to first? Can I fix this? [04:37] and to have it prompt for a password you would type password [04:37] wow [04:37] Cpudan80, i believe the path i want to add is /usr/lib64/ghc-6.8.2, does that look right to you? [04:37] thats weird [04:37] niriven, i'm astounded, but happy :) [04:37] vanden: a lot of things changed since 7.10 :) [04:37] kc8pxy: it was over 4 months ago that I had it working... my memory is shot because i also finished a sem at college. [04:37] pyrak: ummm /usr/lib/ is already in your path I think [04:38] pyrak: if you just install ghc from the repos, it should be in your path [04:38] vanden: also, when you're done execute this command (one line): sudo adduser $USER lp; sudo adduser $USER lpadmin [04:38] pyrak: Its in the repositories [04:38] pyrak: sudo apt-get install ghc [04:38] Cpudan80, yes, that's what i did [04:38] vanden: then power off your printer, power off your computer and then power them on again. it should work now [04:38] daw, Wait, no, haha, 1.0 only. Sorry about that, heres the link. http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/ [04:38] pyrak: then its in your path already [04:38] Cpudan80, ok, so it looks like i don't need to do anything for step one? [04:38] savvas: No doubt. :-) hp-setup is failing to detect the printer. It was like that with system-config-printer and the cups web interface, too. [04:38] daw, 2.0 is in progress (to support silverlight 2.0). === awesome is now known as Guest65382 [04:39] pyrak: yes [04:39] pyrak: you should be good [04:39] niriven my heart is crushed . . . but thanks for the link and info! :) [04:39] vanden: 5L you said right? is it connected through USB or LPT (whatever is called that serial port)? [04:39] hey i need help with my drivers. I have a webcam that i have no idea how to get the drivers for.... its an "in-sight webcam ic455c" [04:40] daw, only a matter of time, 2.0 is alpha stages.

(It is probably older than USB printers ;-) [04:40] konzept: plug it in - it'll prob work [04:40] may someone guide me with DHCP issue [04:40] Cpudan80, hm, actually it looks like some problem has been miraculously solved. perhaps the opengl package that i had installed needed a hibernate to kick in or something [04:40] woohoo DHCP! [04:40] thanks for all the help, Cpudan80 [04:40] np pyrak [04:40] i'll ping you again if i hit another wall :) [04:40] what package is wlanconfig a part of?

[04:41] kc8pxy: have you tried http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=madwifi-ng [04:41] during install there was a dhcp issue that i just bypassed [04:42] savvas: Yeah, I figured it would be. I managed to get it going back with one of th 6.n releases. Worked fine with 7.04 and 7.10. :-( [04:42] what's the way to restrict user UIDs being exposed to others? 'top' and 'ps' can be restricted on BSD systems by passing '0' to 'security.bsd.see_other_uids' in src/etc/sysctl.conf. what can be done for linux? [04:42] i dont know for sure it is dhcp [04:42] Cpudan80, pm [04:42] pyrak: go ahead [04:42] Guest65382: open a terminal, type dhclient [04:43] vanden: two suggestions: 1) Check your bios for serial port settings, it should be bi-directional 2) check your cables, one by one, maybe you missed something, or a pin is broken.. stuff like that happen :) [04:43] unavailable: that doesn't seem to be an issue yet it's missing a command, it seems. [04:43] unknown hard ware address type 801 [04:43] how can i archive a directory in terminal ? [04:44] cant create /var/lib/dhcp3.......................

I don't know that I know how to check for bidirectional serial port settings. But, since it is the same box with the same bios as worked with 7.10, that rules that out, no?

[04:53] K, here's the deal, my installation froze halfway, so I had to restart, now I have this dead 20gb partition with a failed ubuntu installation on it, but I cant get my installer to simply re-install onto there, how do I do that [04:54] "it works!" [04:54] anyone knowledgeable willing to chat with me in PM to help work out my problem? [04:54] i think there's a few ways to solve it, i just keep running into a wall no matter which route i try [04:54] oh you know what? i think i need to give phpmyadmin the root password for mysql [04:54] how do i do that? [04:54] supernoob: no you dont [04:54] all i'm try to do is get ubuntu up and running on a software RAID10 partition [04:54] sabot: why not reformat that partition? [04:54] supernoob: err maybe you do.... anyway - fix the 404 first [04:54] the DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 [then there were different intervals such as 20,13,1....after which the send packet said network is down [04:54] supernoob: hold on [04:55] alex-82, reformat to what? [04:55] ugh. i hate when im helping someone and they dont use !who and i never know they said anything, and they leave because they think theyre being ignored [04:55] sometimes i cant hear mp3s through any program or audio from an mp4 file. i restart and its fixed but it happens really often [04:55] cpudan80: "Not Found. The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server." [04:55] !who [04:55] As you can see, this is a large channel.

[04:56] what's a good gui app for converting an avi to a dvd iso so I can burn it [04:56] sabot: if you're installing from the CD then you have the option to specify the partitions. If you do so then you will wipe the disk, or part of the disk. So you would lose your partial installation and start from scratch [04:56] I have a windows installation partition that I cannot lose [04:56] is there anyone for whom the 177 nvidia driver didn't fix the suspend issue? [04:56] I'm having difficulty getting a fully functioning gwibber going on a hardy system, anyone here successfully running it?

Its about KDE 4.1 On Ubuntu 8.10 [04:56] supernoob: Open a terminal and type the following: cd /var/www; ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin [04:56] sometimes i cant hear mp3s through any program or audio from an mp4 file. i restart and its fixed but it happens really often [04:56] upon plugging my internet cable in it tries to acquire network address to no avail then says disconnected from network [04:57] supernoob: sorry ehh [04:57] is anyone using a SATA I HD? [04:57] supernoob: Open a terminal and type the following: cd /var/www; sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin [04:57] CheesyWeasel : sometimes the browser may mess up your sound.. try closing the browser and see if that fixes it [04:57] speaking of !Tab I updated it last night can an op please look into that when/if they get a chance? :) [04:57] alex-82: If I simply delete the partition and have it as free space, can I install onto that? [04:57] FiReSTaRT: browsers not open [04:58] CheesyWeasel: worth a shot.. fixed the problem for me.. also close every app that plays sound [04:58] sabot: yes because the ubuntu install will reformat it anyway. There are a number of possible formats but ext3 is the most common. [04:58] can I get assistance with booting a live session from a usb? [04:58] How can I configure my eth0 port properly? [04:58] FiReSTaRT: thats not it. [04:58] alex-82: Okay, Im going to delete it, then go through the installation and make sure I have the correct settings, I need to select manual partition Im guessing [04:59] what packages should i have from synaptic to ensure proper mp3 playback?

(granted its 1.5 meg file but still) this is just painfully slow [04:59] People I cant shut down my comp or open terminal or anything it all just goes white, I cant shut down by clicking power nothing comes up, I tried ctrl + alt + delete no luck [05:00] TaiNTeD_RaGE: CTRL+ALT+BCKSPC [05:00] ok my sound completely disappeared for no apparent reason. Was listening to music on audacious, tried to play a youtube video, and nothing. No sound anywhere. No system sounds, mp3, anything. Ideas? [05:00] Guest65382: type cat /etc/network/interfaces in the terminal, then take a look at what it tells you [05:00] Should fix it [05:00] savvas: thanks. installing now. [05:00] cpudan80: ok, i'm at /var/www$ [05:00] now what [05:00] savvas: hopefully this will do it [05:00] Guest65382: the main settings are in that file, the dns settings are in /etc/resolv.conf [05:00] supernoob: you typed that command? [05:00] and it asked for your password? [05:00] yup [05:00] yup [05:00] so now you should be able to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin [05:01] CheesyWeasel: usually it does :) if not, install also: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 [05:01] I installed Tor and its suggested packages, anon-proxy and mixmailer.

[05:01] yay, I got in a quit message :p [05:02] alex-82, im at the partition portion of the installation, using guided (automatic) just frees some of my windows partition and still has 17gbs of unused space, I want to use the unused space, do I need to format the freespace onto its own ext3 partition (Im being detailed because I cannot screw this up) [05:02] cpudan80: i don't know if this is normal or not...when i reload the webpage it pprompts me to dl a file called "default" [05:02] How do I reconfigure xorg to display 1024*1280 resolution, I installed ubuntu using wubi [05:02] oh yeah [05:02] that reminds me [05:03] supernoob: this is why the lamp package needs to be taken offline [05:03] supernoob: hang on [05:03] how do i change into another opened channel in irssi [05:03] sabot: I can't tell you exactly what to do because I can't see exactly what you are looking at. But yes, if you can reformat the free space that would be the right thing [05:03] sabot: your windows install is isolated from the free space [05:03] yeah [05:03] secondary question: anyone think Xubuntu 8.10 alt will run better on 2002 gateway box 1.8ghz 377RAM vs. Ubuntu 5.10 (which is where i am coming to you from :-) [05:03] cpudan80: thanks for the help. mind if we move to PM? my connection kicks in and out, and i'm worried your messages will get buried [05:03] ra21vi, the irssi homepage has a quick start guide.. I belive ya can use alt-1 through alt-# [05:03] i mean how to move better opened room in irssi [05:04] any tools for ext3 file recovery on a disk img whose partition table has been lost and the disk partially overwritten? [05:04] no sound from flash sites like pandora either. is there a way to restart the sound system or something? [05:04] dr_willis: uh,i tried that before, it switches between gnome-terminal's tabs [05:04] Guest65382: probably yes, xubuntu will use much less resources [05:04] means i will have to be in single tab to irrsi get that event [05:04] supernoob: sure - fire away [05:05] alex-82: I think this is the last thing, when creating the partition, what do I select as "mount-point"? [05:05] 2002 BOX is my only connectable comp until i get this DHCP fixed on my HP DV6000 laptop [05:05] ra21vi, try running irssi in a normal xterm perhaps.. or rxvt . or disable the shortcuts in gnome-terminal. [05:05] sabot: / [05:06] sabot: '/' signifies the root directory [05:06] okay [05:06] I dont know how to troubleshoot the porting of my DHCP [05:06] the network card [05:06] partitioning now then, hope this works, thank you :) [05:06] dr_willis: yes [05:06] np [05:06] I have wifi card issue [05:07] can anybody help me setup a live usb with ubuntu intrepid ibex?

[05:11] Eatdrums, what kind of network card do you really have? Tell us what's on the label [05:12] man [05:12] hey does anyone know how to downgrade a particular update pushed through automatic updates?

[05:18] all shells are free [05:18] aaa: update, its your grub (boot) menu list === Moddington2_ is now known as Moddington2 [05:18] as in dont have to pay [05:18] aaa: Did you make any manual changes to it? [05:18] yes [05:19] aaa: What'd you change? [05:19] a telnet public free shell === fghf is now known as k0tar3l [05:19] woli: here are some good guides for reference: http://www.ryancloke.com/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-live-usb-how-to/ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [05:19] becuase i have to change (1.0) to (0,0) to boot ubuntu [05:19] Kuwago: telnet is a program... [05:19] aaa: Ah, ok. Well, go ahead and let it install a new one, and then afterwards go bcak and re-change that [05:19] Kuwago: sudo apt-get install telnet [05:20] ok thanks [05:20] exit [05:20] I would hope any free 'shell' providers would be using ssh to allow access to their shell service.. [05:20] what is telnet [05:20] cpudan80 why u telling him to install telnet? [05:20] the system didn't show I have a wifi adapter [05:20] Then again - i cant imagine why anyone would want to off free 'shells' on their servers to anyone... [05:20] pdtpatri3k: well he wanted it! [05:20] eross: check wikipedia for that :) [05:20] dr_willis, they're out there, just not as common as they once were [05:21] Cpudan80, hes wanting a shell provider.. for running bots and things i imagine [05:21] oh [05:21] nickrud, yea. :) i imagine they are just as handy as they always were.. :P [05:21] well that wasnt clear [05:21] either way, he did point him to the right direction :P [05:21] anyone here use "netbook-launcher"? [05:21] yeah I know telnet is a program but I'm looking for a shell to login into that's free [05:21] oh I see what you mean [05:21] you want free computing [05:21] :-) [05:21] Anyone know how to fix the font size of the x login screen? I seem to have a font way too big to do anything. [05:22] Hard to come by [05:22] anyway [05:22] night all [05:22] Cpudan80: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:22] Kuwago, google i guess is our friend. I would check for 'free shell ssh service' [05:22] Speak for yourself floodBot :-P [05:22] ah it's pc remote without security [05:22] Kuwago, and avoid telnet, learn to use ssh [05:24] hello everyone is there a specific channel for eee ubuntu i am having problem with sd card wanting to mount only with sudo same with ipod 4th gen nano all i want is the devices to mount for all users without sudo privelages [05:24] Isn't that a /etc/fstab thingie? Mounting devices automagically? [05:24] ramblingturtle, you could make specific fstab entries for the devices with the proper options. if they are vfat/fat/ntfs filesystem. you may need to install/run the ntfs-config tool [05:25] phyrfox, hal handles the 'auto mounting' of decvices not listed in fstab. :) so the 2 are 'similer' but different aspects of the same job. [05:25] is there a mac desktop environment? [05:25] ok thanks dr_willis I'll look into ssh [05:25] joejc, theres 'make my gnome look like a mac' sites/tweaks [05:25] Well, I was close. I'm fairly new to Linux more or less. [05:26] is there a program where i can mount a physical windows drive? [05:26] dr willis could you perhaps point me in the direction of a howto [05:26] Which is why I'm rather annoyed that I fubar'ed my login screen so quickly. [05:26] instead of creating a virtual [05:26] ramblingturtle, install/run the ntfs-config tool for starters.. then theres the ntfs-3g tool/docs that exist [05:26] !windoes [05:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about windoes [05:26] !windows [05:26] 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 [05:26] ramblingturtle, assuming the deices are using a windows filesystem [05:26] i just did a reinstall on my debian server and i cant ping it by hostname from a ubuntu machine. by ip, it pings fine tho [05:27] i found xpde that looks and kinda works like xp is ther anything like tha, that looks like mac instead? [05:27] !ntfs [05:27] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [05:27] I'm having difficulty getting a fully functioning gwibber going on a hardy system, anyone here successfully running it? [05:27] dr_willis they are both fat32 file systems. [05:27] joejc, theres 'make my gnome look like a mac' sites/tweaks thats about it [05:28] ramblingturtle, most of the tips to get ntfs going also apply to fat32. They just need to get mounted with the proper options. either via the fstab. or the proper hal tweaks. (which i think that ntfs-config tool also handles) [05:28] um. why does an Ubunutu upgrade always "successfully finish".. only to render the systems full of surprises on the next reboot? Seems to be a reoccurring theme with my girlfriends install as well as MANY clients.' [05:29] Well... I guess i'll be back. Maybe a reboot will clear my problem up, I guess. [05:29] Hola [05:29] does anyone know how to remove a daemon from running at startup? [05:29] yes [05:29] I want to remove mysql from runnig at startup because I don't always use it [05:29] hello everyone [05:29] sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf && sudo sysv-rc-conf [05:29] devdavad, theres several 'sysv' config tools in the repos that let you configure that in a semi-gui way. ;) [05:30] dr_willis, thanks I'll look for some [05:30] devdavad, such as the one Tekno mentio0ned [05:30] does everyone know what to do with hal-mtab, it cannot be read when i insert my flash drive [05:30] I rember why i normally still just mount all my removeable media - manually :) [05:30] i tried googling it but i found no clear answer [05:31] hello [05:31] anyone know why there are inconsistencies when using gparted and fdisk for creating two FAT16 partitions on a USB flash device [05:31] cannot read from ./hal-mtab [05:32] cannot read from ./hal-mtab anyone out there with an idea how to rsolve [05:33] I just installed Ubuntu on my brothers laptop, but the wifi doesn't work. someone told me to update it, but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else I can do? === Kuwago is now known as kuwago [05:33] does GCC have line numbering? [05:34] cannot read from ./hal-mtab anyone out there with an idea how to rsolve [05:35] can anyone explain what virtualbox or virtualization is? I do not understand what it is for but I keep reading about [05:35] hellhound, it lets you run a machine.. inside a machine. :) and do all sorts of neat tricks [05:35] hey [05:35] hellhound, or run several machines inside a real machine. [05:35] what does ubuntu use for full disk encyrption? [05:36] hellhound, like running xp, fedora inside ubuntu [05:36] dr_willis: thank you but what are the advantages of doing this instead of using wine [05:36] cannot read from ./hal-mtab anyone out there with an idea how to rsolve [05:36] hellhound you can run another distribution or Ms windows on top of ubuntu [05:36] hellhound, wine runs windows apps.. not the windows OS.. [05:36] Set_: try truecrypt its really nice [05:37] question: I've decided to take a peak at opengeu...from what i understand the installation is that similar to ubuntu(which i know, opengeu is ubuntu), how do you start the installer from livecd with ubuntu [05:37] I've been using Virtualbox for over a year, it's great [05:37] is that what ubuntu uses in the alternate install cd? [05:37] samrocksc, theres an icon on the desktop normally. [05:37] How can I get Xubuntu to recognize my DHCP network card [05:37] hellhound: http://www.ubuntu.com/servervirtualization [05:37] if you answered this I missed it [05:37] Set_: dm-crypt/lvm [05:37] cannot read from ./hal-mtab anyone out there with an idea how to rsolve [05:37] k [05:38] dr_willis: I have windows on one harddrive on my computer and ubuntu on another and dualboot between the two in order to play games. so with virtualbox will it allow me to open this windows installation without having to dualboot? [05:38] my terminal send packets: network is down [05:38] Hellhound Virtualbox is great for tryinh out other distro flavor of Unix or Linux and other OS's [05:38] dr_willis, i'm using the 8.04 and they don't have any icons on the desktop with this one [05:38] HOW may I configure my network? [05:38] hellhound, thats one not very good way to use it... since windows will basicially think its been moved to a totally new machine.. and vbox/vmware will NOT make full use of your 3d video cards for games.. (but that isbeing worked on) [05:39] samrocksc, check the menus then I guess. [05:39] Hellhound you don't have to dual boot with Virtualbox [05:39] rcguzon: what is the problem ? you have a problem with a flash drive ? [05:39] jp_sf, yupz [05:39] did amd invent the 64bit system? [05:39] rcguzon: you cannot unmount it ? [05:40] i cant mount it [05:40] dr_willis, i'm gonna try to just do the install like a standard ubuntu installation, do you know if theres a command you can use at boot to start it? [05:40] jp_sf, i cant mount it [05:40] kuwago: with some exceptions. For example, the free version doesn't support USB. He may need a USB device only supported on Windows. (Logitech Harmony comes to mind.)( === [_ZaN_] is now known as WeSkErSaMa [05:40] hellhound, it won't open *that* windows installation, you have to install it in virtualbox itself. and I'm not sure you'll be able to play games just like that in it. probably performance loss [05:40] I dunno. Did amd beat intel to the x86_64 punch or sometihing, woli? I can't remember. [05:40] samrocksc, for opengeu? not really. I found that ubuntu variant. a bit useless. [05:40] hola [05:40] buenas noches [05:41] !es | minisuper [05:41] minisuper: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:41] dr_willis Virtualbox 2.10 now has 3D accelration for playing 3D game [05:41] kuwago, for some games in some cases.. from what ive read... [05:41] ok muchas gracias [05:41] jp_sf, do you have any idea how to do this [05:41] dr_willis, i've never used ubuntu, always used gentoo with e17 heh, what do people normally do for ubuntu :/ [05:41] can anyone explain me what i dont have alsaconf, eventhough i got alsa-utils installed? [05:41] samrocksc, you could always install e17 in ubuntu if you like it. [05:42] s/what/why [05:42] rcguzon: it is usually a problem with fstab [05:42] dr_willis, :P i am way to lazy to download it haha [05:42] mker: dr_willis hummm i am ignorant sorry but I still do not understand why someone would not just use wine. why would someone want a full windows system in their buntubox [05:42] Regel, the specific architecture was created by amd and that's why it's called amd64 [05:43] hey hey ubuntu world!! [05:43] samrocksc, i found most of these E17-ubuntu-merger/spinoffs to be.. lacking in any real reasons for me to use them vs a 'normal' ubuntu install. :) [05:43] hellhound, wine runs WINDOWS apps. it will not run a linux disrto, or BeOS, or CPM or DOS. or any other OS.. it runs APPS. not the whole OS. [05:43] dr_willis, yeah this is rather aggravating [05:43] hellhound, wine isn't perfect, sometimes you need the real thing [05:44] how do i change the color font of my panel clock? or is there another panel clock applet i could replace it with? huh? [05:44] jp_sf, im a noob at ubuntu, do you know how to fix it? [05:44] hellhound, I use vurtialbox to run Linux in virtualbiox.. under Vista. :) You dont have to run windows in it. [05:44] hellhound not just windows but with Virtualbox you can operated two distro's at the same time if you have dual monitors, it's great [05:44] anyone able to help me with openSSH? [05:44] hi, I have a problem with a video, when a watch it on VLC, Totem or MPlayer I get a green strip, but when I watch it on Kaffeine everything is normal [05:45] lanoxx_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52941 [05:45] its a codec problemo dude [05:45] dr_willis: speaking of spin-offs. I really like rox-filer and I was wondering how to replace nautilus with it. I think I understand how to deal with the desktop, but I'm wondering about situations where nautilus is the default file-manager. Like for instance, if I right click on a downloaded file in firefox and say 'show in folder', it will open nautilus. Any ideas? [05:45] I have even just installed Window 7 Beta for testing on Virtualbox [05:45] dr_willis, i found the icon! It's because they turned off efm :P [05:45] alex-82, just install rox-filer and on the proerties of a folder. I think you set what the default app is. But not all the gnome menus will lauinch that by default even if you do it. [05:45] kuwago, where did you get a copy of windows 7 [05:46] rcguzon: I'm not so sure I think I would delete the dbus/pid and reconfigure hal [05:46] Hi a;; [05:46] all* [05:46] mker: dr_willis: kuwago: ok i can see now that if you want two OS's or have to keep windows for something.. virtualization is better than rebooting... LOL now you have me wishing they could get games to work on the virtual os :) [05:46] dr_willis: is nautilus a dependency of gnome? [05:47] found it as a torrent using Deluge [05:47] how do you change clock font color? [05:47] rcguzon: it is a USB flash drive you are trying to access ? [05:47] hellhound, games are the least common use for the thing. :) [05:47] are there any clock applets for panels? [05:47] hi.. hw do u install zippys webcam [05:47] jp_sf, it is a flah drive im trying to access [05:47] Hi all [05:47] i have an erection [05:47] Hello, I need some help with a framebuffer. [05:48] hey is there face recognition for linux login? [05:48] dr_willis: true [05:48] hellhound you have also cooperation instead of virtualization see andLinux [05:48] o snap [05:48] wrong chan [05:48] dani_: that would be cool :D [05:48] im arriving [05:48] jp_sf, "I'm not so sure I think I would delete the dbus/pid and reconfigure hal" i think im not good enough with this one [05:48] rcguzon: do you have a lot of USB connection to the box that is having a problem ? [05:48] totally! [05:48] anyone want to help me with my openssh problem? [05:48] akio, what help ? [05:48] dr_willis: thank you i will search through the wiki for a refresher on mount commands... it has been awhile [05:49] omnikill, state the problem to the channel and see who answers. [05:49] OMG its taken me 3 days to configure Apache2, ddclient on Ubunto 8.10 [05:49] sumit: I need to set the framebuffer to a non-standard video mode, 1024x600-60@32 [05:49] la la la la means i love linux [05:49] jp_sf, only the mouse i guess, this is a laptop im using, so there are a few maybe inside [05:49] rcguzon: well you have a few kewords in what I said, but I don't really know your configuration [05:49] dr_willis: next time use webfs [05:49] sshd can't find the keys which i made sure are in /etc/ssh but it still gives the following errors [05:49] Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key [05:49] Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key [05:50] anyone know enough about openssh to help? [05:50] jp_sf, ok thank you [05:50] rcguzon: what I would do is I would do a sudo dbus-demon --system [05:50] kernel updates isnt critical are they? can i disable update manager stuff if it isnt? [05:50] I get "Reading package lists... Done" then "Segmentation faulty tree... 0%" whenever I try to install an app from the CL [05:50] i mean, if u cant* [05:50] omnikill, check the ssh logs. If the keys exist. the permissions on the keys may be incorrect. [05:50] omnikill,you must create one [05:51] rcguzon: (don't do it) I would delete the /var/run/dbus/pid [05:51] what directory are my private keys stored in? [05:51] Would Bind clash with ddcleint? [05:51] rcguzon: then I would sudo dpkg-reconfigure hal [05:51] Who is the monster Linux guru in here? [05:51] wesouler, the keys are already there [05:51] jp_sf, ok ill give it a try [05:51] I have a question: i want to install a ubuntu system on a usb key, but i don't know witch image .iso i must recover? It is a Desktop CD image or Low-Power Intel Architecture MID USB image? [05:51] rcguzon: then I would reboot [05:52] rcguzon: and hopefully you should not have any problem [05:52] anyone know of a reason why a blue tooth mouse would work, then after a restart lose pairing and not pair up again? [05:52] omnikill,it's must have +r [05:52] tritium, thank you, i read it, so how do i get sound running then, i guess my installer for the sound drivers is not much use without alsaconf [05:52] rcguzon try this if your flash drive don't mpunt. Type in terminal: [05:52] sudo gedit /etc/fstab [05:52] Add an # to the line below: [05:52] /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 [05:52] ....or it may look like this [05:52] /dev/sdc1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 [05:52] echo "Mmmkayy" | festval --tts [05:52] kuwago: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:53] rcguzon: and first I would try the solution of kuwago [05:53] is it possible to get a virtual machine on a network? [05:53] ok will do [05:53] joejc, they can do most anything a real machine can.. and some things they cant. :) [05:53] ok how do i get my virtual xp on my network? [05:53] Ouch, I have been dropping by to ask this question since yesterday [05:54] kuwago, what do i do next? [05:55] wesouler, according to the file manager, they already have read and write permissions on them [05:55] Hi all, i must install a ubuntu system on a usb key, but i don't know witch image .iso to diwnload? It is a Desktop CD image or Low-Power Intel Architecture MID USB image? http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ [05:55] Hi, for some reason sftp throught the gvfs module copies files across at ~1.8kbs compared to scp which can do it at ~450, any ideas? [05:57] Hi can someone tell me if this site is working, I.ve spent the last 3 days configuring apache2, ddclient on Ubuntu 8 [05:57] Im not spamming just going blind trying to see if ive done the config right [05:57] joejc, follow the virtualbox docs.. and it should basicially see the virtual nic and auto-dhcp and get on. [05:58] joejc, i do NOT suggest using virtualbox or vmware to run a 'preinstalled on a diffreent hard drive' (ie real) windows install. [05:58] hi... i need help with compiling...

I've been programming in c++ for 6 years and python for 3... :-p [06:01] i use grub-install from a live cd but it doesnt work [06:02] hi there [06:02] even when i do it from inside a chroot inside of the target disk with dev and proc mounted [06:02] i installed kde ... and the kde desktop works fine....what is this kdm ?

WHat is the proper command for this? [06:02] silv3r_m00n, kdm is kde's replacement for gdm [06:02] silv3r_m00n: it's the kde display manager, it serves the same purpose as gdm [06:03] you dont need both it doesnt really matter which one you use [06:03] what is gdm ? [06:03] its the thing that logs you in [06:03] gnome display manager [06:03] silv3r_m00n: when you type in your username and password, that's gdm [06:03] oh [06:03] manages your graphical X sessions [06:03] !gdm [06:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [06:03] unless you're at a terminal... lol [06:03] !help gdm [06:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about help gdm [06:03] !info wdm [06:03] :) [06:03] wdm (source: wdm): WINGs Display Manager - an xdm replacement with a WindowMaker look.

[06:06] really? [06:07] that seems like unneccirally breaking stuff without rewason [06:07] but yeah dpkg-reconfigure sounds better [06:07] but probably does exactally what i said [06:07] scientes2, its not breaking stuff without reason.. both kdm and gdm can be started and only the one thats set to be default will actually run, as a sanity check. [06:08] no the sanity check is if the other is *started* [06:08] Hello, I have one of them-there fancy netbooks, need to know how I can get a 1024x600 framebuffer console. Any ideas?

Google and #conky turned up no results [06:11] what e-mail client do you recommmend for GNOME? [06:11] anyone got a link to a good guide to performance tweaking ubuntu 8.10? [06:11] jwaldo, Have you checked man conky? [06:12] jwaldo, you would proberly have to do some work for that. find an irc client that can print text/channel messages to a file.. and have conky tail the file. [06:12] is there a way to atleast get my old sound driver back to work again? [06:12] jwaldo, the conky homepage also has a lot of neat scripts but i doubt if what you are asking is a 'trivial' thing. well its sort of trivial.. but not super-trivial :) [06:12] dose anyone on here buy anything from the online store [06:12] brain187: the ubuntu one ? yes I did [06:13] you could just turn on logging in the IRC client :) [06:14] That's what I figured.

It's possible the same physical device is being exposed through two device nodes, and when you access it as /dev/scd0, it treats it as a cd (ie, read-only). Do dmesg | grep usb, and see if you see a device name there [06:52] jp_sf: thanks [06:52] mezquitale, Never had a problem with it and I've been using it for years [06:52] jp_sf: also I just found it... it's right under the tabs menu... heh, sorry [06:52] I only say it's possible because I don't know otherwise ;) [06:53] phixxor_irssi: true [06:54] the real problem I wanted to ask about, is what does this ping error mean?

YOu have to resolve the conflict [07:02] lurkera, so as my printer..all are fine...but today i got an printer error, now i can;t print anything... [07:03] terryx, so you have used them before in ubuntu? [07:03] histo: how would i do that exactly? [07:03] If vasyok shows up again, perhaps someone would be so kind as to direct him to #ubuntu-ru or #linux-russian [07:03] lurkera, yes...and print many file..the error comes today.. [07:03] I installed Ubuntu but Grub isn't kicking in like it is supposed to.

[07:04] Help? I'm trying to duel-boot WinXP and Linux. [07:04] no [07:04] syahril, VirtualBox only addresses 2 USB devices [07:04] only updates [07:04] terryx, Can you post the error? [07:05] Logomachist, Does GRUB show up at all? [07:05] hi all, i'd like to install ubuntu in another partition , in the same harddrive , could this be done? i.e 2 roots in the same drive but different partitions? each time i could use a different 1 ? [07:05] syahril, That is generally your mouse and keyboard [07:05] macvr, sure [07:05] So, How to share my folder from real machine in virtual machine [07:06] lurkera, well no big error, i tried to print empty page, and its says...print error...there was a problem processing document.. [07:06] Logomachist: is ubuntu the only os on the drive? [07:06] I don't know if VirtualBox can do that [07:06] macvr: you can [07:06] syahril, I don't know if VirtualBox can do that [07:06] unop: how would the setup respond then? would i have an option in grub? [07:06] No, I also have WinXP [07:06] thank LurkersA [07:06] terryx, Does it do the same for a document with something on it? [07:06] macvr, grub should detect the already installed OSes and add entries automatically [07:07] lurkera, yes [07:07] syahril, No problem, you can always try VMWare Player :D [07:07] VMWare is free or Commercial? [07:07] terryx, Odd.... Have you tried restarting the printer? [07:07] macvr, but why would you want to install ubuntu twice? [07:07] unop: ok... the thing is i'm having problems with 8.10 , so i want to install 8.10 in another partition and check if that works? would i have any conflicts? [07:07] Grub wasn't showing up, but I found a seperate Windows installer for Grub and now it does show up, but don't start Linux, only generates errors. [07:08] * BruceChang bows [07:08] syahril, It's possible to share a folder with Virtualbox [07:08] In other words, there's a Grub entry on the WinXP boot menu. [07:08] Logomachist: i tried a dual boot with vista/ubuntu. could never get networking capabilites but grub sure took control. Hmm thats quite a pickle [07:08] syahril, Player and server are free and are good products, Workstation is ~$500 but is well worth the cost in my opinion [07:08] syahril, In your VM's window, go to Devices => Shared Folders [07:08] macvr, the only conflicts would happen if both installs shared the same partitions/filesystems - just make sure that isn't the case [07:08] what are you problem with810? [07:08] Logomachist: grub should be what shows up and you pick from it [07:09] macvr, it's just like dual-booting two different operating systems [07:09] brain187: hello. Do you know how to use generic IDE driver to install Ubuntu? [07:09] Yeah I looked online and that's what the tutorials say should happen. [07:09] lurkera, now see, i have delete the printer..and turn off then on it, then when i on it its showing printer added [07:09] Logomachist, Try booting with a live cd and running the command "install-grub" [07:09] unop: ok ... could u check this out if u have any ideas? how to resolve this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6448335&postcount=1 <<< if this is solved i wouldnt have to reinstall! [07:09] lurkera, now i try to print... [07:09] Logomachist: i hate to suggest this, but you may want to delete the partition and start from scratch again. might have been an error in the installation [07:10] So I start a terminal and select type "install-grub"? Do I have to be in a certain directory? [07:10] terryx, It fix it? [07:10] hey if I have two computers on a network, and one has already downloaded updates, would I have to download them twice? (cause computer #2 would have to download 209 updates otherwise) [07:11] Hello. May I know how to use generic IDE driver to install Ubuntu 8.10? [07:11] lurkera, no....before i have done that...but don't know what happens this time? [07:11] Logomachist, That should be the command, It worked for me last time, other option is 'Super Grub Disk' which can fix it for you. [07:11] bruse see pm [07:11] Thorsten11- I already did that. This was my second time installing Ubuntu, no different from the first. [07:11] What's Super Grub Disk? [07:11] it is a grub rescue cd [07:11] Logomachist: did you create the partition from xp? [07:12] bruce you there [07:12] Logomachist, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [07:12] it is a small live cd [07:12] I did, it's using a ext3 filesystem. [07:13] terryx, What sort of printer is it? [07:13] macvr, what does cat /proc/swaps #give you? [07:13] thanks [07:13] hp..all in one 5610 [07:13] hello [07:13] hello [07:13] it is my first irc [07:13] me too [07:13] terryx, Is the correct driver selected in the 'Printer' config under System? [07:13] unop: /dev/ramzswap0 partition 517844 5640 100 /dev/sda6 partition 3550324 0 -1 [07:13] Logomachist: try what LurkersA suggested, seems to have worked there. I have never had a problem like that lol, if anything, grub seems to have taken control of my hardware :) [07:14] opera_: it is ok to look [07:14] What information is stored in /sys? 'man 7 hier' does not mention /sys. 'man 7 hier' is dated 2001-09-07. /sys probably has been created later. [07:14] how can I reconfigure locale ? I am gettings all kind of errors all over http://pastebin.com/me0a4027 [07:14] lurkera, how to check? [07:14] hey ppeople. Are there xen disk images of Ubuntu hardy server available for download somewhere? [07:14] i don'T know [07:14] I seem to remember seeing them somewhere [07:14] Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. ^_^ [07:15] terryx, System -> Administration -> Printing [07:15] lurkera, now? [07:15] terryx, yeah [07:15] I can of course create an empty disk image and install ubuntu on it, but It would save time if the images already existed [07:15] what is the topic here [07:15] lurkera, i mean done...now? [07:16] jtier: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales [07:16] terryx, By 'Make and Model' is the correct name shown?

[07:17] terryx, Hmmm, odd. Well I'm not sure sorry, printers aren't really my forte, try posting a request in UbuntuForums [07:17] bullgard4, /sys is a vritual file system containing kernel specific information mounted as a filesystem [07:17] Hi every one [07:17] ?

[08:46] Deadboys: that's pretty normal, theres like 20 proccesses of Apache2 as well, dont pay any mind to that [08:46] okay thank you [08:46] firefox never gives me my 'back' button anymore.. anybody know a fix?

[09:05] HenryH: run lspci to get the cards info then websearch from there, you may need packages or to compile drivers for the card [09:05] simard: if you use their name, youor router will resolve names [09:06] anyone an expert with wine? [09:06] fuzeboxsoftware: the people in #winehq, probably [09:06] fuzeboxsoftware: or try in here, we may be able to help [09:06] fuzeboxsoftware: but, if you'd like to ask your question here, we'd be happy to hear details :) [09:06] ActionParsnip, what names ? [09:07] hello room [09:07] well, i have install phpdesigner 2008 in wine, but when i try to edit stuff,text/code, it acts weird [09:07] simard: the names of each system, every system has a netbios name [09:07] is there anything i can install to help with the prob? === ahmed is now known as Guest57203 [09:07] !appdb | fuzeboxsoftware [09:07] fuzeboxsoftware: 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 [09:08] fuzeboxsoftware: is their no opensource equivelant? [09:09] can someone see if /lastlog works in xchat? I thought the problem was that I didn't log, but now I do and I even resterted the client. Still doesn't work. [09:09] hi, how to remove a package and all of its dependencies (that are not used by other packages)? i installed the package with apt-get install [09:09] fuzeboxsoftware: See http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10504 , maybe? Looks like some other people got it to work. [09:09] ActionP I ran lspci and it said "01:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Initio Corporation INI-950 SCSI Adapter (rev 02)" amongst a lot of other stuff. does that mean I have the card working or not? [09:09] p4rse: sudo apt-get --purge remove ; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [09:09] mker: works for me. I get a new channel window named (lastlog) with the search results. For example, I did "/lastlog lastlog" and it gave me your message. [09:10] ActionParsnip: thanks! [09:10] rww, ok good to know that it's *supposed* to work anyway. I'm just getting a blank window. [09:10] p4rse: double-check when you run those commands that they don't try to remove more than you want. Depending on your apt-get setup they can be problematic. [09:10] HenryH: it means its identifid itself, websearch forthat name and see how to config it in ubuntu [09:11] !hcl | HenryH [09:11] HenryH: 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 [09:11] HenryH: there may be a guide in the hcl === five_ is now known as Guest87520 [09:12] mker: if it helps you at all, I'm using Intrepid's version of XChat, 2.6.8, and have logging turned off (so I don't keep scrollback between sessions). [09:12] rww, oh, I solved it, apparently xchat doesn't do number of rows like irssi which could do "/lastlog lastlog 5" to show the last 5 results. [09:12] is it ok to remove libglib2.0? [09:12] whats libglib? [09:12] mker: ah. So it was searching for "lastlog 5" and not finding anything, I guess? [09:12] !info libglib2.0 [09:12] Package libglib2.0 does not exist in intrepid [09:12] ActionP: Thanks I'll do that now. See you!! Thanks also to ubottu, I'll follow them up.

[09:13] rww, yeah, thanks for helping, I saw that you didn't say anything about a number so I tried the same :) [09:13] p4rse: id say so, if its orphaned, autoremove will remove it [09:13] ok [09:13] p4rse: if nothing else requires it, then removing it will be fine.

Only thing I have that needs it is vlc, so none of the important stuff does. [09:15] ok, thanks [09:15] p4rse: you can see if anything depends on a package with "aptitude why packagename", by the way [09:16] why is the opposite of apt-get install, apt-get remove and not apt-get uninstall [09:17] hello [09:17] ActionParsnip: 'cause uninstall is too many letters :p. Besides, there's also apt-get purge, which is also an opposite of install [09:17] Hi szokedemon! [09:17] rww: it just makes sense as the opposite word, plus you can tab complete [09:18] hi rww:) [09:18] ActionParsnip: back when apt-get was first written, I don't think anyone had gotten around to bash-completion :P [09:18] ActionParsnip: but yeah, it'd make sense if it were at least an alias for remove [09:18] Seems that there was support for this card in kernet 2.4 but [09:18] now it's gone [09:18] rww: true, just makes me laugh [09:19] rww: i aliased clear to cls too ;) [09:24] !jaunty [09:24] Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April -Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion [09:25] hi [09:25] !hi | demilord_78 [09:25] demilord_78: Hi!

Have you considered installing a newer version? [09:28] Sythe_ZN: try the minimal ubuntu, or alternative install so you only install what you need [09:28] Sythe_ZN: how big is your HDD? [09:28] try use xfce instead of gnome [09:29] well the issue is i'm working on a port for a himalaya so i need kernel 2.6.12 [09:29] will cp -a overwrite a file?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:30] ty ty :) [09:30] !splashy [09:30] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [09:31] Cheers rww [09:31] i'll have a look in a moment [09:31] Sythe_ZN: hrm.

[09:55] it gives me the same error regardless of which loop device i point it to tho [09:56] Arenlor: that is just preferences, no way to pair a device [09:56] Sythe_ZN: can you pastebin the command and the error please [09:56] i'm guessing the initrd is ext3, correct me?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [09:56] hi there [09:57] bmz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/bluez-gnome [09:58] Hi silv3r_m001! [09:58] hello silv3r_m001 === sleepy_cat is now known as c_webkit [09:58] i am facing this issue with my networking... when booted into windows the internet works fine but in case of ubuntu it sometimes doesnt work and i have to restart 1 or 2 times [09:58] why this difference ? [09:59] silv3r_m001: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [09:59] yah did it 100 times [09:59] silv3r_m001 there are many possibilities, what driver do you use, and what is your chipset? [09:59] its an intel motherboard [10:00] silv3r_m001: i7 core chipset? [10:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/101570/ [10:01] FireFox||: asking confusing, irrelevant questions probably isn't the best way to help ;) [10:01] silv3r_m001: what wireless card do you have? [10:01] silv3r_m001: wireless network or ethernet? also, copy the output of "lspci" and "lsusb" terminal commands to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give us a link to the pastebin page. Those commands will tell us what card you have. [10:02] rww: Sorry, I just was interested in the problem. I realise that the qustion is irrelevant but it might be interesting if that was the chipset [10:02] its ethernet [10:02] lan internet [10:03] FireFox||: where can i see the chipset name [10:03] in kinfocenter in which tab shud it be ? [10:04] its a 1.7ghz p4 may be intel 810 or 815e something like that [10:04] silv3r_m001: open a terminal and type "lspci;lsusb" and copy the output you get to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ , then give us a link to the page it creates. The chipset name is in that output. === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [10:06] its here [10:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/101573/ [10:07] and the thing is i have 2 broadbands... 1 of them works always fine and the other 1 sometimes stops working and i have to restart... but in windows it always works fine [10:08] silv3r_m001: you have an ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL [10:08] thats the graphcis card [10:09] the ethernet cards are intels [10:09] ActionParsnip: the ethernet cards are lines 11 and 12 of that output [10:09] silv3r_m001: so one of your ports always works while the other has intermittent problems in Ubuntu, but is fine in Windows correct? [10:10] rww: oh i thought this was a vga issue [10:10] Arenlor: yah [10:10] whats the command to delete all contents of a folder? [10:10] :) [10:10] Arenlor: the one which makes problem is a local internet , its on a shared ip ... means the isp put my computer on their LAN [10:10] rm -rf *.* [10:11] thanks mate [10:11] Internet Hacking code? [10:11] hey.. does anyone know why my wlan0 interface doesn't stop when I do a /etc/init.d/networking stop? [10:11] hi [10:11] Ethos: rm -rf * [10:11] silv3r_m001: what release of Ubuntu do you have? [10:11] ah [10:11] excellent thanks rww [10:11] 8.04 [10:11] hi [10:11] Arenlor: 8.04 hardy [10:12] i have a problem with grandr. i have a macbook with ubuntu 8.10. when i plug in a monitor and use grandr. i get one of two options. [10:12] anyone know how to install adodb reader in ubuntu [10:12] either i get a mirror of my screens where my monitor has a high resolution. or i get dual monitors with low resolution (which looks awful) [10:12] !pdf | mayail [10:12] mayail: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [10:13] !info acroread [10:13] Package acroread does not exist in intrepid [10:13] mayail, you mean acrobat?

By googling i found that 99.9% of users uses the Firewire port with kino or dvgrab but i didn't found a way to use the USB connection, yet. [10:13] silv3r_m001: do you use DHCP with the LAN? [10:13] Does anyone have an idea if is it possible to capture video from a VCR through USB? === Potjie is now known as uciha-ssk [10:13] no [10:14] i put the ip mask and gateway myself [10:14] mayail, enable the repo for medibuntu, then install acroread. [10:14] rww: it needs the e100 module [10:14] anyone knows how to get different resulotions with dual monitor and grandr?

[10:15] silv3r_m001: What exactly is occurring when it stops working? [10:15] ActionParsnip: I wandered off to do something else. silv3r_m001's the one with the problem :) [10:15] Arenlor: no pings ... host not found [10:15] can resolve server [10:16] silv3r_m001: you need the e100 module [10:16] e100 ? [10:16] whats that [10:16] silv3r_m001: sounds like DNS maybe [10:16] kernel driver module [10:16] silv3r_m001: its a module file you need to download or compile [10:16] sudo modprobe e100 [10:16] he has it [10:16] ActionParsnip: can it be done thru synaptic ? [10:16] whats the easiest way to copy the entire contents of 1 folder to another? [10:17] command wise [10:17] CP something :D [10:17] man mv [10:17] silv3r_m001: try the modprobe as demilord_78 says to see if yuo have it already [10:17] cp -r [10:17] cp is copy [10:17] but i dont understand it works fine 80% of the time... it stops either when the computer is booted and has to be rebooted [10:17] mv move [10:17] ta [10:17] Ethos: man cp [10:17] sorry cp -R [10:17] How does ubuntu go compatibility-wise with TV capture cards? [10:17] ActionParsnip: how to modprobe ? [10:18] silv3r_m001: you have e100 already [10:18] Arenlor: so what next [10:18] is that the default behaviour [10:18] silv3r_m001: like demilord_78 said [10:18] EdgeX-, look up mythbuntu [10:19] which one :D [10:19] EdgeX-, not specifically to install it, but whatever it supports, ubuntu will by definition also support [10:19] silv3r_m001: when it goes down, can you ping an IP address? Or is the problem only with pinging a domain? [10:19] Arenlor: i can ping my ip... but the gateways ip >> destination unreachable and for others host not ofund [10:20] Thanks cwillu [10:20] Ethos: to move something use mv, to copy something use cp [10:20] I need to copy the contents of the folder [10:20] so another folder, not the folder itself === dichtbijzee_ is now known as dichtbijzee [10:20] cd folder && cp * /somewhere/lol [10:20] Ethos: where exactly are you copying from / to [10:21] var\www\html\backup (contents of) to var\www\html :) [10:21] Ethos: cp -R /var/www/html/backup/* /var/www/html/ [10:21] hi there... i use this kate and quanta plus and they create too many backups files with this ~ [10:21] how can i delete them ? [10:22] thanks [10:22] del [10:22] silv3r_m001: have you checked in their preferences? GEdit does the same thing by default and has an option to turn it off (which I have >.>); dunno if those programs are similar. As far as removing them, see http://soft.zoneo.net/Linux/remove_backup_files.php [10:23] rebel_kid: rawr [10:23] Ethos: you could use gksudo nautilus and copy it with gui [10:23] no gui :D [10:23] ActionParsnip: Arenlor : any idea on that lan internet issue [10:23] Ethos: wise man [10:23] silv3r_m001: so you can ping yourself but not any other IP? It definitely sounds like DNS to me [10:23] is it some problem with the isp which windows is able to tackle and ubuntu doesnt [10:24] hi. I set up an old compaq e500 with the alternate cd 8.10, I had no network at the time so i chose to configure it later. now i do have network. but ifconfig shows no eth0 while /etc/network/interfaces does. [10:24] Arenlor: even if its a dns issue then i shud be able to ping the ip of my gateway [10:24] it appears as if on some boots ubuntu is not able to bring up that interafece [10:24] Arenlor: If pinging IP addresses is failing, it has nothing to do with DNS. DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses; it isn't used if the computer already /has/ the IP address. [10:25] Ethos: sudo cp -R /var/www/html/backup/* /var/www/html [10:25] Ethos: i'd make a test folder first [10:25] Ethos: and run a similar command [10:25] Ethos: make sure it does exactly what you need [10:25] im having a bit of trouble with 8.10, it picks up my wireless network and i enter the code, it attempts to connect and then brings me back to the wireless password dialog, when i check show password it gives me something like b30f9e16fe771c1eaeec8b83eab9eec315882dc3dd924b144a61abe7a66c59b1 which is definitely not my password [10:26] silv3r_m001: do you get anything in the system log? [10:26] thanks ActionParsnip :) [10:26] rebel_kid: i had that two , just delete it then put in urs again and it should work === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter [10:26] rebel_kid: actually that IS your password [10:27] chilli0, i did that... i do troubleshoot :) [10:27] arenlor, hashed or something? [10:27] rebel_kid: its ur password [10:27] rebel_kid: what card are you using, a broadcom 43xx? [10:27] rebel_kid: yeah [10:27] arenlor, not sure, its built into an hp laptop [10:27] Arenlor: where can i get the system log [10:27] looks hashed to me, my 4895agn does that as well [10:27] ? [10:27] rebel_kid: hp eww [10:28] hp is ok, acer is :-< [10:28] silv3r_m001: System > Administration > System Log [10:28] My old ATI card is an X850 (or R420 core) - I am currently using a newer nVidia card but was just wondering about the state of ATI drivers now. AIUI there are radeon, radeonhd and fglrx drivers, is that correct? But does radeonhd support my older card? Will it ever? And what state is it in at the moment? [10:28] chilli0, i didnt buy it... trust me i would never buy something with a made for windows vista sticker on it :) [10:28] demilord_78: acer man eee pc [10:28] no tats asus [10:28] Arenlor, any advice? === ndndn is now known as blbla [10:28] acer have the mini one or something [10:28] rebel_kid: i was gonna say, u were having a go at me for getting one with windows on it lol [10:28] ActionParsnip: acer aspire one [10:28] no acer uses empowering technology wich is evil [10:29] oh only lots [10:29] ibm ftw [10:29] chilli0, i had a friend burn the sticker off with a laser... it wouldnt come off [10:29] Arenlor: i am on kdea [10:29] kde* [10:29] lol [10:29] when i start the internet conection and open mozilla, mozilla it is always in off line mode, how do i set it to on line ? [10:29] rebel_kid: let me get u link for a sec [10:29] rebel_kid: can you create a pastebin of the commands "lspci && lsusb" and post the link here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [10:29] VSpike: You missed one: there's a driver called "ati" too. As far as support... I have only a few problems (Radeon HD 3450) and from what I hear, I'm lucky. [10:30] rebel_kid> chilli0, i had a friend burn the sticker off with a laser... it wouldnt come off <--ROFL [10:30] kashanki: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/31925 [10:30] :P [10:30] rww: oh yeah forgot about ati :) [10:30] hi. I set up an old compaq e500 with the alternate cd 8.10, I had no network at the time so i chose to configure it later. now i do have network. but ifconfig shows no eth0 while /etc/network/interfaces does. [10:30] rebel_kid: go here naw http://system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9 [10:30] Arenlor, http://pastebin.com/m4c5ae772 [10:30] rww: I know that one def doesn't support this card though! [10:31] silv3r_m001: I'm not sure if there is a GUI for it in KDE, the logs are /var/logs/syslog amongst others in /var/logs [10:31] EdgeX, windows is crippling and insulting to the world of computers, it would have taken a lot of money to make me keep that sticker [10:31] <|timgws|> How do I do a command as root? [10:31] dichtbijzee: run lspci and you can websearch for the network chip/s you have [10:31] |timgws|, sudo [10:31] |timgws|: sudo commandname [10:31] |timgws|: sudo for cli, gksudo for gui apps [10:32] <|timgws|> thanks, forgot about that :) [10:32] chilli0, cool that could cover the burn marks [10:32] yups [10:32] i'l see iedibuntu then what i do to install adodb reader [10:32] im gonna get one soon [10:32] i'l see medibuntu then what i do to install adodb reader [10:33] VSpike: fglrx claims to support "Radeon X800", which I assume includes X850. The "radeonhd" drivers only supports r5xx and r6xx cores, not r4xx. [10:33] mayail: add the repos, sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search adobe | grep -i pdf [10:34] mayail: and install the package it comes up with, xpdf and gpdf are fine too and open source [10:34] Ãã [10:34] hi all/j #reflab [10:34] rww: right, that's what it looks like. Shame.. it was fglrx that drove me to buy an nvidia card :) I was weighing up the state of ati drivers now to find out if buggy nvidia drivers could drive me to plug the ATi back in :) [10:34] Arenlor: in windows i had to do a setting called half duplex for that particular connection [10:34] VSpike: i only buy nvidia [10:35] how can i do the same in linux ? [10:35] Hello, I need help with my Aetheros wireless (with Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1CG). [10:35] I read few manuals online however none of these worked (either package not found or compilation problem). [10:35] It also looks like it's already installed with "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-22-generic", however I cannot understand how to access list of wireless networks and to connect to them. [10:35] I am a newbie to Ubuntu (installed it as dual-boot with Windows Vista) and may need detailed instruction [10:35] rrykua: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:35] VSpike: yeah, fglrx isn't fun to set up, especially if you dislike closed-source and therefore have a bad taste in your mouth the whole time >.> [10:35] im having a bit of trouble with 8.10, it picks up my wireless network and i enter the code, it attempts to connect and then brings me back to the wireless password dialog, when i check show password it gives me something like b30f9e16fe771c1eaeec8b83eab9eec315882dc3dd924b144a61abe7a66c59b1 which is definitely not my password [10:35] hey guys what time is it? [10:35] Dexi: in which time zone? [10:35] Dexi: where? [10:35] doesnt matter ill translate [10:35] rrykua: install vista and leave space for linux unpartitioned, when you install linux, the dual boot will be handled for you [10:35] rebel_kid: can you connect to any networks? [10:35] Dexi: 10:35am UTC [10:36] rww: not GMT? its 10:35am here too :) [10:36] Arenlow, attempting to connect to stupid windows neighbors unsecured wifi ;) [10:36] ActionParsnip: i installed Ubuntu already... i can connect to wired networks, but not to wireless [10:36] rww: thanks [10:36] Arenlor ^^ [10:36] my phones wrong :( [10:37] rrykua: use the wired to fully update your system [10:37] ActionParsnip: There are ridiculously technical differences between GMT and UTC, but generally, they're the same. [10:37] rww: It just crashed a lot when doing user switces and stuff like that. Also crashed when running vmware. also sucked at video playback etc. was generally a horrible experience. [10:37] Arenlor, negative, no wifi whatsoever [10:37] rww: this was a few year back though! I'm sure it's pure loveliness by now [10:37] ActionParsnip: i did install all updates (similar to Windows Update), however it still doesn't work [10:37] rww: as long as I dont miss my bus I'm a winner [10:37] silv3r_m001: check out http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-change-the-speed-and-duplex-settings-of-an-ethernet-card/ [10:38] rrykua: then run lspci and lsusb, one will show you yuor wifi chip. you can websearch on how to set it up using the wired link [10:38] VSpike: haha. Well, it doesn't actually crash my system so much any more, but it's still a recurrent pain in the backside :( [10:38] ActionParsnip: Is there any way of remote assistance (like VNC or Remote Desktop), so you can check what's wrong here? [10:38] rrykua: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:38] rrykua: do you have a router? [10:38] hi guys, i have fuppes running on an ubuntu machine with both wireless and wired interface. I need to have the listen port for the web server component set to the wired interface. Any possible way i can access the web config page from the wireless side of things? (I have tried port forwarding on the ubuntu machine but that breaks the fuppes functionality on the ethernet side) [10:39] rrykua: if you run lspci and lsusb you will get output about your hardware, websearch for the line that relates to your wifi [10:39] ActionParsnip: Yes I do - I have wifi router. What's lspci, lsusb? [10:39] rww: well I currenly have an nvidia bug with compiz .. and the answer is always "upgrade to the latest beta". But usually on checking the forums you'll find some really nasty sounding problems with it like massive memory leaks or similar. So you always seem to lurch from one bug to the next. But it does work reasonably well most of the time, and doesn't seem to crash at least [10:40] rrykua: they are terminal commands [10:41] ActionParsnip: Okay. Here I've got my wireless card: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Unknown device 002a (rev 01) [10:41] rebel_kid: I had the same problem with my wireless card, try running lshw -C network and post the results to pastebin [10:41] ActionParsnip: Does that means it is installed normally? [10:41] rrykua: lspci LiSt PCI and lsusb is LiSt USB [10:41] rrykua: no, its just the chip telling you what it is [10:42] rrykua: now you know what it is you can research [10:42] How can I enable the virtual consoles? It seems that they are disabled by default? [10:43] I.e., s.t. Cont-Alt-F1 works. [10:43] ActionParsnip: But I did knew name of my card before. How do I install a driver for it? And how do I check it works at all? Where can I check for a list of wireless networks or smth similar? [10:43] hi guys, i have fuppes running on an ubuntu machine with both wireless and wired interface. I need to have the listen port for the web server component set to the wired interface. Any possible way i can access the web config page from the wireless side of things? (I have tried port forwarding on the ubuntu machine but that breaks the fuppes functionality on the ethernet side) [10:43] rrykua: you can check if its already working with: sudo iwlist scan [10:43] Arenlor, http://pastebin.com/m421b0fa9 [10:44] ActionParsnip: no. there are only lo and eth0 [10:44] rrykua: you may know then name of the card but linux may see it different, it also gives you something you can copy / paste to websearches to get precise info [10:44] rrykua: then it needs configuring [10:44] how do I configure it? Is there any manual? [10:44] rrykua: www.ask.com www.google.com [10:45] rrykua: what is the 1 line output for your wireless card [10:45] rrykua: you can copy / paste from terminal [10:45] ActionParsnip: tried to google it, found few manuals, none of them worked unfortunately. That's why I'm here. Which line? [10:46] rrykua: the line in the lspci output that names your wireless chip [10:46] hey, i have just downloaded my ati driver, its run file. how to install it?

I am looking for a name, and was thinking ubuntu users may be able to tell me is "friture" is ok in english ? "friture" is a french word whose first meaning is "frying", but it is also used in popular language to mean "noise" or "cracks" in a sound. Does it feel good for an app name in english ?

[12:25] jrib, ah silly american, always behind the times ;) [12:25] ok then [12:25] hi flexd2 [12:25] I seem to have managed to install ubuntu now, but i also managed to install grub to the wrong drive it seemed. It suggested hd0 but i went with another hdd.. is there a way i can fix this? [12:25] Okay, unfortunately I don't have the time to fix this. Be back here in about 8 hours to try try again. Thanks for the time. [12:26] !grub > flexd2 [12:26] flexd2, please see my private message [12:26] i went with the hdd i installed ubuntu on, figuring that would work [12:26] groundup: ok, good luck [12:26] flexd2: it will work you just have to change the boot order [12:26] how do i run a cmd inthe terminal with from root [12:26] flexd2, grub really should be installed on hd0, even if ubuntu is on another hd [12:26] right [12:26] ultratek: use sudo [12:26] ultratek: what command? [12:26] mount [12:26] Seveas: okay, i`ll just find the way to change it i guess. [12:27] flexd2, ubottu sent you some links. They should tell you what to do (grub-install hd0) [12:27] when your installing inteprid and select to make a drive encrypted, do you need to enter your encryption password everytime the pc reboots? [12:27] nnull, yes. Otherwise the encryption wouldn't be very useful [12:28] Seveas, indeed, was checking for that reason, ta.

[12:33] from what i read so far ubuntu releases are exact snapshots of debian unstable at a certain point in time? [12:33] gbear14275, System-Administration-Software Sources [12:33] zxd, no, you read that very very wrong :) [12:34] quibbler: thanks I found it :) [12:34] Seveas, well it says it's based on that [12:34] mker, wasn't really benchmarking tbh, but not that i could notice.. as i was benchmarking the Loads on these machines... [12:35] zxd, ubuntu does import packages from debian unstable and various other sources until a certain point in the release process. These imports often are unchanged, but often have ubuntu-specific packages. Ubuntu also has newer versions of quite some software and some unique packages [12:35] nnull, that's alright I'm interested in what you noticed :) well nice then thanks for the info, I'm about to give it a try as soon as I get the chance. [12:35] mker, ok gl :) [12:35] zxd, but that's just part of the whole 'what is ubuntu' [12:35] so... i have to open a file browser as root to be able to open a file as root using the gui right? Is there a reason there is not an "open as" option under the right click menu (or similar)? Or is there? [12:36] gbear14275: because it's not something you should be doing all that often.

[13:33] Psykus: my question to you would be why you would want to use the ugly horrible win loader instead of grub from the start?

[13:33] alex-82: you are doing [13:33] alex-82: when you view the memory you can see how much is in use [13:34] because I use windows as my primary OS [13:34] something132: run: amixer set Master 100% unmute && amixer set PCM 100% unmute [13:34] alex-82: as I said, dont worry about it, it will free up ram "on demand" [13:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1029413 [13:34] hello [13:34] Psykus: ummm yes....but that has nothing to do with the loader [13:34] ikonia: i only have event.d DIR in there which contains 'ppp' and '20hdparm' [13:34] i'm going by this part here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub#Preserving%20Windows%20Bootloader [13:34] ok, but I was a little worried because I have no swap file [13:35] ikonia: ppp looks to be a config file [13:35] what??? tweak the bios? it worked fine when running under wubi using the same disk, so when you do a clean install, wouldnt it just eb the exact same thing? [13:35] and find /boot/grub/stage1 doesn't work [13:35] how to install this theme ? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ArchDark?content=94030 [13:35] so Im guessing this cache will not continue to expand past the available system memory [13:35] ikonia: actually ppp is a bash script [13:35] !w32codecs [13:35] alex-82, correct [13:35] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:35] nor does any combo of root (hd0, ok what shall i do with the result [13:36] how to install this theme ? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ArchDark?content=94030 [13:36] dr4g: /etc/apci/power [13:36] my ubuntu partition shows up as /dev/sda5 [13:36] hi all; anyone here using voipbuster under Linux (and if so, how?? linphone?)

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:36] sky_1: it's a gdm theme, just drop it into the login manager gui [13:36] alex-82, consider your memory as a huge table. Would you rather have as much on your table as you can, while keeping enough workspace but allow quick access, or would you rather keep your table clean but require a longer time searching for things? [13:37] hischild: effective description [13:37] !anyone [13:37] ikonia, thank you [13:37] would /dev/sda5 still be (hd0,5) to grub, or? [13:37] something132: you've just said that [13:37] Psykus: no, it depends on your partition layout [13:37] norbert_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=161282 [13:37] ikonia: i don't have apci, only apm :( [13:37] does anyone know "Ubuntu UNLEASHED 2008 Edition "?

I was surprised to see the RAM so high (and climbing) when it hasn't gotten this high before. I must have installed a program that caches aggressively [13:38] ikonia: ah. well all I need to do now is install the grub loader to the ubuntu partition but not the MBR [13:38] ActionParsnip: okay, but that's 2006, I wonder whether someone is still able to use voipbuster under Linux today [13:38] Psykus: you really don't want to put it on the patition in my opion === Sancas_ is now known as sancas [13:38] opinion [13:38] norbert_: i just went to the voipbuster nad they have a linux section [13:39] norbert_: you'll find most of it still stands [13:39] ActionParsnip: yes, unfortunately that information appears to be inaccurate and/or outdated [13:39] dr4g: have you got that ? /etc/acpi [13:39] norbert_: http://bluev.wordpress.com/2006/04/11/mini-howto-logitech-webcam-ekiga-amsn-gizmo-voipbuster/ === onats_ is now known as onats [13:39] norbert_: just replace emerge with sudo apt-get install [13:39] ActionParsnip: also from 2006 [13:39] Is Medibuntu also available for jaunty? [13:39] Or how can I use Medibuntu in jaunty? [13:39] fasta: not yet as jaunty is not stable so shouldn't be used for everyday tasks [13:40] norbert_: so what, the man page for cp is from the late 80s but still stands [13:40] my question is really whether anyone here is CURRENTLY/STILL using voipbuster under Linux (and if so, how?? linphone?) [13:40] fasta: jaunty support is in #ubunt+1 [13:40] ikonia: nothing only apm which contains event.d/ which contains two shell scripts. The shell scripts reference to /etc/ppp/apm.conf but that file doesn't exist either [13:40] ActionParsnip, Still remember ekiga case? Well, it seems to be installing, thanks. [13:40] dr4g: just to be %100 you do not have the dir /etc/acpi [13:40] fasta: if you have to ask that question you should not be using Jaunty [13:40] how can I share the BBC streaming over lan [13:40] ? [13:40] norbert_: dont you think its worth a try rather than just shooting it down without giving it at least a go. It may just work [13:40] ikonia: no i don't have acpi or apci [13:40] ActionParsnip: I've tried these things, really [13:40] ActionParsnip: I'm a Linux geek and know how to use Google search :) [13:41] Arenlor: I have used Debian for over 6 years. [13:41] alex-82, i understand. No worries though, the kernel is smart enough not to cache to much. [13:41] fasta: what has that got to do with anything ?

[14:36] tiyowan: you need the gpg key for http://de.archive.ubuntu.com [14:36] silv3r_m00n, sudo gui apps will eventually catch up to you [14:36] well i dont need a router, my dorm just gives internet to registered MAC-adresses ... normally i tunnel inet through ssh for friends, but my girlfried has a windows machine... so i need some better solution for her ;D checking out the bot's hints ... thank you all [14:36] i want to open a folder with root access [14:36] silv3r_m00n: why do you want to run konqueror with sudo? [14:36] ActionParsnip: to get root access and do some modification [14:37] silv3r_m00n, kdesu konq.. is better but still dangerous [14:37] kdesu konqueror not working :( [14:37] silv3r_m00n, kdesu kate [14:37] silv3r_m00n: its a better idea to use terminal to cd to the folder, then run the app to edit the file [14:37] БЛЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯ.................ОТЗОВИТЕСЬ КТО НИБУДЬ [14:37] kdesu kate is failing [14:37] Jack_Sparrow: I've already tried those, but the result is the same. Removing quiet doesn't even give any extra output.

[14:37] 4e takoe? [14:37] ActionParsnip: yeah [14:37] silv3r_m00n, If you have made a habit of running gui apps with sudo.. you can do serious damage to your setup [14:38] Jack_Sparrow: why ? [14:38] !gksudo [14:38] 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) [14:38] silv3r_m00n: sudo apt-get install kate; kdesudo kate [14:38] OK, I'm having trouble mounting a shared file on a remote FreeBSD machine from Ubuntu only. On a near-by RedHat machine, I have no problems mounting. In Windows I have no problems. Only in Nautilus on this Ubuntu machine. Am I missing something? I'm able to mount some files shared out by a Windows machine, just not this FreeBSD machine. [14:38] ActionParsnip: kate is intalled [14:38] Isvara, try ctrl-alt-F2 when you hang running live and see if you get a terminal [14:38] silv3r_m00n: im just covering all bases [14:38] ActionParsnip: There's a cmd to autoget the GPG keys for a repo, right? [14:39] ActionParsnip: actually i do like this mostly sudo su root [14:39] and then the thing i want to run [14:39] tiyowan: not that i know of, trot over to the site and download the file, or websearch [14:39] silv3r_m00n, Please read the link on gksudo for pyschocats informative description [14:39] silv3r_m00n: you could use sudo -i then do what you want [14:39] silv3r_m00n, sudo su is another bad idea [14:39] Jack_Sparrow: whatever ... right now i need to run a few apps with root access [14:39] somebody tell me the server of openarena?! [14:40] ActionParsnip: Thanks, mate. [14:40] kdesu is failing [14:40] i installed kdm in the morning from synaptic and after that this issue is arising [14:40] till yesterday it was running fine [14:40] silv3r_m00n, Failing because of your previous usage of sudo su and sudo guiapp [14:40] why ? [14:40] what happened with that [14:40] Is there a known issue with Ubuntu having troubles mounting a samba share on a remote machine? [14:41] allright [14:41] how can i fix it nw [14:41] now [14:41] ? [14:41] fuzzy-logic try : http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=openarena [14:41] genio, Hot really, samba seems to work for most of us [14:41] tiyowan: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/Release.gpg [14:41] Jack_Sparrow: it didn't work, I also tried Wooby Windows and also didn't work [14:41] *woobly [14:41] MOUD: have you installed video drivers? [14:41] no [14:41] heh [14:41] only the link you gave me [14:42] genio, check launchpad for bugs, otherwise try to explain your problem with more details and maybe someone (who isn't me :) ) can help you. [14:42] MOUD, Did you have any effects before.. if not then you need to configure your video card as you are probably in vesa mode [14:42] i need a online server, to play. [14:42] oh, then I think i'm on vesa mode [14:42] i have the game allready [14:42] Jack_Sparrow: No console on Ctrl-Alt-F2, although repeated pressing causes it to beep, suggesting those keypresses are filling up a buffer (and Caps Lock is togglable). Hmm. [14:43] Isvara, Ok.. YOu may need to go the alternate cd route [14:43] Isvara, HAve you checked supported hardware page for hints.

[14:46] Hmm. If I don't select 'English' quickly enough in the bootloader, it stops responding (usually I can select that and use the menu). [14:46] #ubuntu-tr [14:47] hello [14:47] if I have an app installed already, but I download and install a .deb of a later version, a) would it upgrade the current version?, and b) would it handle the dependencies correctly? [14:47] Isvara, It should work fine [14:47] can anyone tell me? [14:47] I guess it's better to first apt-get remove the old version first? [14:47] Isvara, Gimme another minute or two .. http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/browse/product+compaq-presario-cq60-120-es?id=6600 [14:48] wxl-hc, xchat [14:48] how can I change my video card settings?

[14:52] silv3r_m00n, even if you fix it, with using it you will just end up breaking your system again [14:52] w00b3, don't know but if you don't get any help here you might find something on cdfreaks, I think they're good with that stuff. [14:53] Isvara, Without quiet and splash.. do you see and errors [14:53] Halitech: yeah yeah yeah yeah i wont use sudo again....but for now i want to know whether its broken and if its broken i want to fix it :) [14:53] Jack_Sparrow: No, nothing at all [14:54] Halitech: and my /etc/sudoers file is blank [14:54] how do i change my recording levels :S [14:54] is that wrong [14:54] silv3r_m00n, does kdesu guiapp work? [14:54] Hi, since my upgrade to Intrepid, I've been facing issues with Samba, usually filename issues. Certain files with accents in their filenames are inaccessible from Windows. All was fine with Hardy. [14:54] Halitech: yeah [14:54] !ot [14:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:54] kdesudo is working kdesu is not working [14:54] silv3r_m00n, then use it and don;t worry about fixing sudo guiapp [14:55] is any studens here?

[14:59] /part [14:59] Actually, the 32-bit one is doing something now -- slowly. Looks like some long timeouts on the SATA controller. [15:00] toocold, you can set that from page preview in openoffice.org writer. open page preview, then click on the print options page view button. [15:00] Gnea: i was made to create a file "sudo vim /etc/init.d/ekpd" [15:00] then paste a list of commands inside it [15:00] how do i save it? [15:00] ndlovu: what page? [15:01] arik: :wq [15:01] ndlovu: i dont see a page preview? only preview in browser [15:01] arik: be sure to press ESC first [15:01] :wq? [15:01] :wq [15:01] I'm installing Wubi, and now the installer (after rebooting) is hanging at "Setting up cache/swap" (not wuite sure which, since I'm not installing it in English). Any ideas? [15:01] It's at 0% [15:01] : <-- puts vim in command-mode, w <-- writes/saves the file, q <-- quits [15:01] toocold: from the menu, it's file -> page preview (near the bottom) [15:02] How would I go about making my mic volume a bit higher; Skype and Sound Recorder are hardly picking up my voice [15:02] Jack_Sparrow: I'm at a busybox prompt that says (initramfs). Never seen that before. Nothing running on any other vtys. [15:02] toocold, just below preview in web browser [15:02] Halitech: there ? [15:02] ndlovu: i dont have it - is there another way i can access it? im using OOO3 [15:02] whoa thanks! that was rocket science [15:03] toocold, on the toolbar there's usually a button with a printer and a magnifying glass on it. that opens it as well. [15:04] Hullo, while trying to install Ekiga 3.1.0 on Ubuntu 8.10 I keep getting "configure: error: *** libsasl2 headers not found", anyone any idea on how I can fix this? :) [15:04] What's the name of the application associated with the application that one clicks on when locking the session? [15:04] Caesi: why are you trying to compile it? [15:04] Since the icon disappeared, I assume the application is not installed anymore. [15:04] Caesi: Search for libsasl2 in synaptic, and install the one ending in -dev [15:05] hi guys, how do i configure it so that my "normal ubuntu user" can execute the "mount" and "umount" commands? i dont want to run as root. [15:05] Hey; How would I go about making my mic volume a bit higher; Skype and Sound Recorder are hardly picking up my voice [15:05] i dont want to have to type "sudo mount" [15:05] Gnea: trying to install the newest version; Dvyjones: apparently the newest version is installed [15:06] hobbes006, sidt sudoers ... I do belive is the answer [15:06] edit [15:06] hobbes006: you can change fstab settings for specific devices, but for random devices, you'll need to do it as root initially. it has to be. [15:06] !fstab | hobbes006 [15:06] hobbes006: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [15:06] Jack_Sparrow: hi i want to fix sudo guiapp [15:06] i did this in fstab: [15:06] silv3r_m00n, Sorry, cant help you there [15:06] work /mnt/work user, auto [15:06] is that correct ? [15:07] Any help on this? I'm installing Wubi (8.10), and it's hanging at "Installing system", I think the bottom line is something like "Formatting swapspace at partition 1 at /host/ub..." Any ideas? [15:07] hobbes006: no. read the URLs above, they will tell you how to do it right [15:07] ndlovu: i'm in oodraw - pdf files only open in oodraw [15:07] Dvyjones, Please see the wubi FAQ, I wont use or recommend it...

[15:10] toocold, also, http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/ has some good general tips on using openoffice.org [15:10] Jack_Sparrow: apt-get install package [15:10] ndlovu: i have already installed the pdf import extension [15:11] thanks [15:11] toocold, then you're a step ahead of me :) [15:11] hi. is there anyway to tweak the gnome version of xchat to style the nicklist to a bar that will always show to the right/left of the window? [15:11] marcelo, apt-get remove package ... Hopefully you have not modified your sources.list [15:11] like the channel/server bar is set by default. [15:11] anyone have the link to the tutorial for setting up hardy chroot env handy? [15:12] Halitech: i just opened sudoers file on another computer and it has content like shown on the psyco link u gave .... and my sudoers file is blank [15:12] !chroot [15:12] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [15:12] DuncanGnome, don't you just click and drag it? [15:12] i think changing its content shall fix it [15:12] DuncanGnome, regular xchat can, I dont use xchat-gnome [15:12] ndlovu: in oowriter i see page preview but everytime i open a pdf in oowriter it goes to oodraw [15:12] silv3r_m00n, that info *may* be specific to gnome, I don't use kde as I don't like it so not sure [15:13] damn. but i can only find regular xchat in rpm. and i can't get alien to work :/ [15:13] !info xchat [15:13] xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC.

What do you mean with "Hopefully you have not modified the source list"? [15:13] hi.could anyone help me with installing Postfix, when I get to the config page in the terminal it freezes. [15:13] oh, ok [15:14] thanks. [15:14] DuncanGnome, Alien is a not the best idea either [15:14] what should i use, for rpm conversion, then? [15:14] marcelo, What game [15:14] silv3r_m00n, could be right [15:14] !rpm [15:14] 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) [15:14] DuncanGnome: why do you need to convert xchat from rpm?

I think from 8.04 (hardy) it has an option for multiple pages per sheet. [15:15] marcelo, Use synaptic to purge - remove it then reinstall [15:16] toocold, I've played around with it, but it hasn't worked for me [15:16] when I tried to format my USB stick at my Windows Vista HP mini-note to make an Ubuntu start-up USB-stick it crashed during the formatting and now it seems broken. Does anyone knows how to fix this? I already tried Gparted and fdisk [15:16] Gnea: i can change the bar with the gnome version. anyway, i'll see if i can do something with the one of the ubuntu repositories.

[15:26] no, thanks tho jack. im just here to check it out. first time on irc [15:26] amerinese: try killall -9 procesname :) [15:26] toocold, I used to use xpdf and I don't remember it supporting multiple pages per sheet [15:26] well, i do have a question [15:27] in system monitor, the processes are listed as "zombie" and "uninterruptible" [15:27] how do i install a game if its a .bin file [15:27] creolife, Welllcome. this channel is support only, others for chat and discussions [15:27] ndlovu: do you know of any more advanced pdf utilities? [15:27] toocold: xpdf? [15:27] Soloportable: sounds like a hardware issue then... maybe it doesn't like how interrupts are being handled [15:27] creolife: chmod +x binfile && ./binfile [15:27] Jack_Sparrow: It does not work, even though I removed xgalaga with synanptic and installed with apt-get, I still have the version I installed from source code. [15:27] toocold: it work let me print 2 or more slides one page [15:27] will that mount it and install it? [15:28] I'm having a problem with my X Keyboard configuration that's causing errors, and I'm told to report it as a bug... should I do it on launchpad? [15:28] Gnea: I know but it's a lenovo :) so it's working for 3 years with only open drivers. full intel chipset. Did they change someting to the interrupt routine handling in version 9? [15:28] marcelo, That was the first question I asked you.. How was it installed.. [15:28] Soloportable: so tried killall, was using kill before as well as through system monitor (but that should be the same), still doesn't die? [15:28] if you don't mind using the commandline, you could also print it to a .ps file and then use mpage. (cat print.ps | mpage -4 -bA4 -a | lpr) [15:28] creolife: it's a cd? You have to extract the iso image than and mount it in a loop [15:28] toocold, ^ [15:28] marcelo, You said with apt-get.. Now you say from source [15:29] its not a cd, i downloaded it online. its a game called planeshift [15:29] marcelo, Sorry.. dont have time to help you [15:29] amerinese: what program/proces are you talking about? [15:29] marcelo, perhaps you have to manual delete the .xxx folder that the game created in your /home/name/ folder [15:29] Soloportable tvtime [15:29] i know that since its a bin it needs to be mounted. im just unsure how in linux. fairly new [15:30] it could still be reading the information stored there [15:30] again, the status is "uninterruptible" and "zombie" [15:30] Hi [15:30] creolife, BIN NEEDS TO BE MOUNTED ??? [15:30] can somebody help me with a wireless network problem? [15:30] Sorry for the caps [15:30] how do I make the () work for sudo (echo ppa >>/etc/apt/sources.list) [15:30] does it not? isnt a .bin an image file? [15:30] hello. i have a problem. My taskbar is gone, as the bar on the upper side of the screen. [15:30] amerinese: what tv card? did you try to rmmod the driver? [15:30] CarlFK: $() [15:30] my ubuntu system does not recognize my 2GB of RAM. I did a grep HIGHMEM in /boot/* and the kernel option seems to be enabled. anyone have an idea what could be wrong? [15:31] creolife, What game/program.. exactly [15:31] so.. what can i do? Restarting does not help. [15:31] .j #ubuntu-fr [15:31] Jack_Sparrow: Sorry, I installed it first with apt-get then I downloaded the source with apt-get source, changed the source run make and make install. [15:31] erUSUL: cool. thanks [15:31] planeshift, its an mmorpg [15:31] why is it that only some wireless networks connect, but others time out while trying to get an IP address? [15:31] ndlovu: AH! xournal does what i want [15:31] Jack_Sparrow: Did you think of anything? I'm all out of ideas. [15:31] erm... i order 1 32bit desktop CD, 1 64bit desktop, 1 32bit server and 1 64bit serverCD and i got 4 desktop CDs lol, apperantly they do not even read the custom shipping requests :s [15:31] CarlFK: use "" instead [15:31] hi! [15:31] Soloportable: no, i'm not sure what that is but i can try that... it's an avertv hybrid fm+volar [15:31] Soloportable: no idea, but if i was going to see if it had, i'd add this as a boot parameter: pci=routeirq [15:31] i need help about ndiswrapper [15:31] where do i go to to ask for the remaining 3 CDs? [15:31] search but found nothing.. [15:31] toocold, that's great [15:31] Why can't I have the numbers 1-9 in my user password? If I have, Ubuntu (8.10) keeps telling me I type the wrong password. [15:31] CarlFK: but "echo ppa | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list" is prefered style [15:31] since they dont read whatever i type :s [15:31] hi, how do I go about installing touch screen drivers in Ubuntu? [15:31] im looking for a decent mmorpg for linux, im trying to install and play this while regnum is downloading [15:31] Isvara, Some say it worked with no issues or changes, others said it didnt work at all. no idea why the difference [15:32] how do I open up a specific port for UDP on a ubuntu install? [15:32] Gnea: and what does that one do? [15:32] It's not unheard of for companies to change hardware components without changing the model number, sadly. [15:32] hey! i need help here :) [15:32] Isvara, Or 4 versions of the same chipset as in bcm43xx [15:33] misblay: repeat the question :) [15:33] Isvara, All I can offer is a sympathetic ear.. [15:33] i'm using a wireless pci card, with bcm4318 [15:33] Jack_Sparrow: its called planeshift, its an mmorpg [15:33] yesterday i've installed the required drivers [15:33] via ndiswrapper [15:33] Isvara, Speak of the devil [15:33] but today it doesnt work :/ [15:33] creolife: chmod +x file.bin ; sudo ./file.bin [15:34] misblay: did you use the exact files of the cd you got with the card? [15:34] though i can see it in the output of lspci [15:34] Pici: thanks [15:34] yes exact ones [15:34] yesterday everything was fine.. [15:34] creolife: that was the same answer as i had given [15:34] after reboot it doesnt work [15:34] misblay: is ndiswrapper running? and are all the drivers loaded? [15:35] misblay, did you update this morning.. YOu may need to do that again.. [15:35] misblay: lsmod | grep ndis [15:35] anyone know why with some wireless networks i can connect fine with Windows, but Linux times-out while trying to get an IP with both dhcpd and dhclient?? [15:35] Soloportable: thanks, im just a n00b :p [15:35] can someone help me? My task bar and the bar on the upper of the screen are gone. I dont know how to fix it [15:35] Soloportable: hmm, so rmmod the driver doesn't work because it's busy, force didn't work with it either [15:35] Soloportable: i'll try that one [15:35] DennisG, the X O _ close minimize etc.. or another [15:35] no [15:36] the thing above that [15:36] amerinese: so now you know what hangs :) [15:36] With the ubunto logo and the things like system and stuff [15:36] Jack_Sparrow: it didnt work, i've done same thing from first step to last.. [15:36] is it possible to have a usb drive in /etc/fstab mount only when available? [15:36] Soloportable: cannot access `planeshift.bin': No such file or directory [15:36] wait i'll reboot and try lsmod.. [15:36] So I guess I can either try another distribution, or use XP. Neither option appeals. [15:37] Jack_Sparrow: I installed it first with apt-get then I downloaded the source with apt-get source, changed the source run make and make install. [15:37] Isvara, MAy I pm you [15:37] Jack_Sparrow: Sure [15:37] DennisG are you refering to the bar on top that shows what windows is open, the trash can, and log out [15:37] hi. I have problems getting ubuntu desktop 8.10 to start installing when choosing "install ubuntu" from the install menu. The laptop is a thinkpad T23. I tried selecting "acpi=off" using the F6 options, as suggested on the ubuntu forum. I can see HD activity for awhile, and then nothing happens and I can navigate the install menu again [15:37] Soloportable: just what it says it does: routes the irq's [15:37] creolife: did you chmod +x the file succesfully? ./planeshift.bin should work if you are in the right directory? [15:38] md5sum of the CD also checks out ok [15:38] Soloportable: so i need to change to the directory the file is in? [15:38] you know how the gnome-panaes are animated now? can i switch that off? [15:38] Soloportable: so there are processes that can't be killed ever? without a restart? should that be surprising to me? [15:38] is there a place t seach for chat rooms? [15:38] Gnea: i was guessing that :) Sorry i only do assembler on 8 bit µcontrollers so i'm not an expert in hardware layer working [15:38] Soloportable: and how would i change the directory to the desktop? [15:38] jimmi_jo, HAve you run the cd self test [15:38] creolife: would be handy :) [15:38] Jack_Sparrow: yes, and that does nothing as well [15:39] jimmi_jo, than you have a bad disk.. see md5 and or re-download it.. [15:39] !md5 [15:39] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:39] amerinese: it could happen but now you know what to look for. Maybe tv4linux guys have a fix or work around [15:39] is it possible to convert an existing windows partition to a virtual machine? [15:39] I'm trying to start a server on port 8308. I can access it from [15:39] localhost, but not from outside. There are no rules in my iptables, [15:39] what disables access from outside? How do I enable it? [15:39] creolife: cd Desktop or cd Bureablad of whatever language you speak [15:39] Isvara, what is your issue? [15:39] jimmi_jo, If this is a Dell or HP, butn it at the slowest possible speed. [15:39] mmm please help. is it possible that gnome-panel is broken? [15:40] uptime reports '8 users'. How to list these 8? [15:40] Soloportable: that's quite a niche, no problem :) [15:40] DennisG are you refering to the bar on top that shows what windows is open, the trash can, and log out [15:40] bullgard4, users [15:40] yes [15:40] DennisG, You can reset gnome panel to defaults, but you would lose any custom settings launchers [15:40] heath|work: Apparent lockup after choosing Live or Install from the bootloader, seemingly regardless of command line options. [15:40] Jack_Sparrow: md5sum is checked and ok, re-burned the cd, same issue. will try another cd then [15:40] Jack_Sparrow, no problem. as long it will work again [15:40] Jack_Sparrow: the laptop is a thinkpad t23 [15:40] where is /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf located in Ubuntu? [15:41] bullgard4: try 'w' and 'who' [15:41] DennisG: if you didn't do anything it could be broken. But try to move you .gnome folder and relogin [15:41] DennisG, I assume you've tried just restarting X? [15:41] Soloportable: it has started installing, thanks alot. but will it show up in the applications list? [15:41] !resetpanel [15:41] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:41] i did [15:41] let me first reset gnome-panel [15:41] i'm beginning to think that preseeding is broken in hardy... if i pass the options via the append line it works. can anyone confirm this? [15:41] soloportable: alright thanks, i guess i'll leave it be [15:41] well, at least the hardy i have [15:42] creolife: probably not ; just make a new item, chose a pictogram and hard config the command [15:42] what is your hardware? [15:42] Isvara, ^ [15:42] mmm [15:42] it does not work [15:42] Is it possible to create a ntfs partion out of free space on my ext3 partion? If so which is the easisest way? Need xp to run an application that doesn't run good enough for Vbox. [15:42] where is /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf located in Ubuntu? [15:42] Soloportable: haha no idea how to do that. and i dont want to take any more of your time. thanks for the help. ill use google for the shortcut :) [15:42] even not after a reset i think. is it possible to fix this or am i screwed up? [15:42] whats a good torrent client? [15:42] right click bottom panel, new panel, right click new panel, add whatever you need [15:43] heath|work: Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop -- amd64, nvidia [15:43] joejc: Deluge [15:43] heath|work, jtaji: Thank you for your help. [15:43] Isvara, 64bit install? [15:43] I've tried both, with the same result [15:43] joejc,what's wrong with one that's included? [15:44] Isvara, k... give me a sec to look at the specs [15:44] i dont like the one included [15:44] joejc: did you use windows before? If you did and used uTorrent you will be pleased with Deluge. [15:44] ok [15:44] Gnea: i leave it for today. I have a lot of work left to do [15:44] greetings [15:45] back again (: [15:45] Which application can I create a ntfs partion out of free space on my ext3 partion that I use for ubuntu? [15:45] lsmod | grep ndis doesnt output anything [15:45] mas2, gparted, and from the liveCD if that is the hard drive you are booting from. [15:45] mas2: try gparted [15:45] Isvara, on the bottom there should be a longer number CQ60-something [15:45] Hmm, can I have dpkg do something like the reverse of dpkg -L package, to find out to which package a given file belongs [15:46] heath|work: CQ60-107EM [15:46] evowill_, misblay: thanks! Would you happend to know what happends if I have grub installed and ubuntu and create a ntfs partion and install win XP on it. Will grub notice this and add it to the menu? [15:46] anyone here who helped me a few mins ago? [15:47] mmm, looks like gnome-panel is running but not showing. what can i do?? [15:47] mas2: i dont know the default but, if you re-install grup, yes probably it should notice that.. [15:47] i need help with ndiswrapper [15:48] misblay: but which OS do you think will load after I install XP. Ubuntu or the last one, XP ? I want Ubuntu to be my primary OS and XP occasionally for a few apps. [15:48] does anyone know if bitchx has changed names in the repository for synaptic` [15:48] !find bitchx [15:48] I have two (older) computers that I want to donate to a homeless kids shelter... and I wanted some advise regarding what OS to put in them... I was thinking about setting them up with Ubuntu + Sugar (the OLPC shell)... or the other option would be a clean install of Edubuntu, any ideas? [15:48] File bitchx found in epic4-script-hienoa, epic4-script-lice, xemacs21-basesupport [15:48] mas2: it doesnt matter, you can change the GRUB menu order by editing necessary file [15:49] nice [15:49] samrocksc: Bitchx is no longer supported upstream, it has been removed from the repository. [15:49] has anyone used VMware converter? http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/ [15:49] Jack_Sparrow: lsmod | grep ndis doesnt output anytinhg, what should i do? [15:49] pici ircii, any non-xchat stuff it's been a year since i [15:49] doh~, installed anything [15:49] Isvara, from what I see it should be fine. Did you test the cd? [15:49] Hello guys, I have problem with reconfigurin my xorg.conf, dpkg-reconfigure does not reconfigure my graphic card, it does just my Keyboard and then exits, any idea ? [15:49] misblay, I am a bit busy.. please address the question to the channel [15:50] misblay: Okey then I will make an try and use gparted to make an partion partion to install xp on and hopefully grub understands. [15:50] mas2: you can also edit that in Winiconfig or BIOS,,,,,whatever you are comfortable with [15:50] can someone PLEASE help? [15:50] If I start a mongrel on a port on my server, I can not access it from the outside? What blocks it and how can I enable it? [15:50] mas2, If the partition is below ubuntu, grub will complain as well as fstab.. but XP prefers to be #! partition [15:50] Jack_Sparrow: i did, and you said something a few mins ago, thats why i've asked.. anyone to help, excep Jack (: [15:51] :) [15:51] DennisG, The next ugh would be to try and rest all of gnome to defaults [15:51] !alternate [15:51] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [15:51] Jack_Sparrow: so I might get an error on boot after created a ntfs partion out of free space from ext3 partio and install XP on (got ubuntu and grub installed). So neither OS will boot and get error? [15:51] Isvara, ^ [15:52] I need help with NDISWRAPPER, anyone to help? [15:52] Yes, Jack_Sparrow is correct [15:52] heath|work: Ahh... ha, well, that's also one of the options that doesn't work. But I've burned two CDs (one 64-bit, one 32-bit) so it seems unlikely that that's the problem. Also, another symptom. You know the initial language selection in the bootloader? If I don't select that quickly enough, it locks up anyway. [15:52] What software do I need to do some video editing (change the audio, add images to the video and upload it to youtube) [15:52] on Ubuntu 8.10 [15:52] need help with NDISWRAPPER (: [15:53] mas2, If you install XP then XP should boot than ou would need to fix ubuntu [15:53] misblay: I would suggest sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [15:53] misblay: It makes using ndiswrapper a bit easier, it's a graphical frontend for it [15:53] Isvara, I would try the alternate cd then [15:53] ASULutzy: i'll try it, but actually this is a bit different problem [15:53] use the text based installer [15:53] misblay: Ok, then go ahead and explain your problem [15:53] DennisG, The next ugh would be to try and rest all of gnome to defaults as in To Reset All of Gnome: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ In terminal type: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [15:54] Jack_Sparrow: Okey if at least one of the OS boot I can always fix the problem. Could probaly d [15:54] !grub [15:54] ASULutzy: yesterday i could connect to my modem, but after first reboot with my new PCI wireless card, using bcm4318 chipset, i cant connect now [15:54] 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 [15:54] probaly do that even if they didn't but then I would have ascces to irc and google :) [15:54] misblay: Are you using Intrepid? [15:54] nope hardy [15:54] mas2, you installed windows xp after ubuntu and grub is messed up right [15:54] you have a live cd [15:54] Hey. I suddenly can't start open office 3.0, due to an unexpected error. Any help? [15:54] easy to fix [15:54] mas2, See the link on fixing grub after installing windows [15:55] Jack_Sparrow: thanks! [15:55] misblay: you could lsmod | grep -i ndiswrapper [15:55] anyone using ubuntu without the fglrx driver and getting an HD2400 working? [15:55] mas2, Make note of partition numbers before you install xp.. it will halp later [15:55] ASULutzy, ah sorry i'm using 8.10, which is intrepid though i didnt know its name (: [15:55] i'll try now [15:56] mas2 sudo fdisk -l after you create partition for XP and before you reboot [15:56] ASULutzy: it doesnt output anyting.. [15:56] Oh,then real quick, check System -> Administration ->Hardware Drivers, maybe there's an off chance that Ubuntu can use proprietary drivers [15:56] mas2, see also uuid's [15:56] !uuid [15:56] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [15:56] misblay: So ndiswrapper isn't loaded, you could just do modprobe ndiswrapper maybe? [15:56] alex_sleiborg: no more specific error messages? checked in /var/log/syslog? tried starting from a terminal? [15:56] ASULutzy, already checked it, it doesnt work [15:57] boot live cd, open terminal, sudo grub, root (hdx,x)-- x being the partition grub resides, setup (hdx) exit [15:57] i'll try that one, actually i've tried before.. [15:57] how can I mount a *.vdi file? [15:57] misblay, linksys? [15:57] Slart: It's tries to recover an old document, and then something goes wrong. And i teminates the app [15:57] ASULutzy, allright "modprobe ndiswrapper" i've done that [15:57] NicEXE: perhaps convert it to an iso.. what program creates vdi files? [15:58] heath|work, are you asking pci card? [15:58] misblay: Ok, well what does iwconfig say [15:58] Slart: VBox === PV_Work is now known as PrivateVoid [15:58] yeah... are you still on that? [15:58] Slart: vdi stands for virtual disk image I believe [15:58] hi i have processes running that i dont control how to terminatethem ? http://pastebin.com/m1aa39d68 [15:58] ASULutzy, unfortunately nothing, this is my problem actually.. [15:58] heath|work, yes i couldnt solve it yet.. [15:59] saera: Which of those do you want to terminate and why? [15:59] What software do I need to do some video editing (change the audio, add images to the video and upload it to youtube) - Ubuntu 8.10 [15:59] ASULutzy, NicEXE: aahh.. I have a few of those.. didn't even think of it.. hmm.. virtualbox doesn't offer anything that can edit these files? [15:59] misblay, you have to go to linuxwireless.org and download the firmware [15:59] I still have problems remembering the |pm stuff, can I disable it in Pigen [15:59] misblay, heath|work: I thought you said you had it working yesterday? [15:59] RawHeartless, For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [16:00] ASULutzy, yes i did.. [16:00] misblay: after doing modprobe ndiswrapper, what does iwconfig now say [16:00] Slart: VBox can only attach them to a virtual pc [16:00] ASULutzy, heathwork misunderstood i guess.. [16:00] ASULutzy, unfortunately nothing, this is my problem actually.. [16:00] RawHeartless: kino & pitivi for simple stuff but for more serious blender [16:00] misblay: install ndisgtk, then go to system -> administration -> windows wireless drivers, and point that app to your windows wireless driver (the .inf file) I believe [16:00] NicEXE: this looks promising.. if a bit hackish.. http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=52 [16:01] ASULutzy, all non important ones i have 75%ram running [16:01] misblay, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 === PrivateVoid is now known as PV_Work [16:01] saera: Er, I don't really know what you consider unimportant :) what does free -m say [16:01] there is ubuntu instructions [16:01] !away > PV_Work [16:01] PV_Work, please see my private message [16:01] ASULutzy, i'll try it right now [16:01] How do I reset a network interface? [16:02] ASULutzy, all but i want a sytem at the end of it [16:02] misblay, actually ubuntu has it just run sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh [16:02] eax: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart will reset them all.. [16:02] Hi there! I want to start a 2nd X server. this works and I can ctrl+f8 to it. what doesn't work is starting xterm on that display - I always get 'client 1 rejected from local host'. any ideas? [16:02] eax: don't know if you can just reset one [16:02] hey people. I am running ubuntu hardy server in a xen virtual machine. WHen I do the updates with aptitude, apt seg faults when it tries to setup module-init-tools [16:02] any ideas? [16:02] heath|work, the guide i've followed by installing drivers, writer said since i'll use ndiswrapper, b43 can make problem, isnt it true? [16:02] Slart: Thanks :) [16:02] eax: you're welcome [16:03] yeah if you are using ndiswrapper [16:03] saera: None of those look unimportant really... I mean you could kill the ssh server and the antivirus stuff, but what does free -m say? Why are you trying to kill processes [16:03] SmokeyD: you might want to try #ubuntu-server [16:03] !xen [16:03] just modeprobe ndiswrapper if you have already done the rest [16:03] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [16:03] heath|work: I've already had him do that [16:03] Gnea: ok, thanks. Didn't know it existed :) sorry [16:03] heath|work, it doesnt work unfortunately.. [16:03] SmokeyD: no problem :) [16:04] heath|work, the guide i've followed by installing drivers, writer said since i'll use ndiswrapper, b43 can make problem, isnt it true? [16:04] !ufw [16:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [16:04] ASULutzy, freeing up ram [16:04] !firewall [16:04] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [16:04] misblay: Yes, you ought to blacklist them [16:04] =) [16:04] saera: please do free -m in a terminal [16:04] ASULutzy, i've done that too [16:04] UFW is IPtables like stuff, very strong [16:05] ASULutzy, sudo rmmod b43 outputs that it doesnt exist.. [16:05] vigo =) thx [16:05] Slart: It didn't work :/ The problem is that I used the terminal to try to connect to my network (it's wep and for some reason it won't connect) but now I can't even see other networks :S [16:05] How can I list all the things that an ip is listening for? [16:05] http://pastebin.com/m3cd757dc ASULutzy [16:05] Slart: Nevermind, magically now it's working O_o WEP still doesn't work.. [16:05] ASULutzy, sudo rmmod b43 outputs that it doesnt exist.. [16:06] Thxpnp_^Laptop: My pleasure [16:06] ASULutzy, if i try to load b43 and delete ndiswrapper, is it going to conflict? [16:06] Ziber: netstat -ta will show all listening tcp ports I think [16:07] misblay: Yes [16:07] ASULutzy, and what should i do then? [16:07] misblay, apt-get install b43-fwcutter [16:07] thanks!! [16:07] misblay, then just run sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh [16:07] ASULutzy: I want to list it seperately for different ips [16:07] heath|work, ASULutzy just confirmed that it will cause a conflict with ndiswrapper [16:07] hi [16:08] heath|work, are you sure that it wont? cause i've read it somewhere.. [16:08] remove the ndiswrapper driver [16:08] I want list all the ports that an ip is listening on, I mean. [16:08] heath|work, ah wait, somehow ndiswrapper showed up at lsmod :) [16:09] ASULutzy, ndiswrapper showed up at lsmod, what should i do now? [16:09] ASULutzy, actually it doesnt seemed working to me.. [16:09] thanks to the guys who referred me to the fstab document. works great. [16:09] eax: I can't really say anything wise about wireless networks.. it's still voodoo to me [16:09] ASULutzy, "ndiswrapper 196380 0" is output [16:10] misblay: it showed up in lsmod because you loaded it with modprobe, if you don't want to use ndiswrapper and want to try b43, you can rmmod ndiswrapper and then load b43, if it was working before and now it isn't, I would consider basically doing it over, but this time use ndisgtk, it's generally less error prone since you just have to point it to the correct driver [16:10] lsof -i -n -P -l | grep LISTEN | grep <-- that works. [16:11] ASULutzy, i've tried so many times that it should show up till now..

I think it's the xorg.conf (/etc/X11) [16:12] thanks guys [16:12] heath|work, should i? the guide didnt point it.. [16:12] MOUD: basically anything you'll find in the Add/Remove section with a little ubuntu symbols on it is nice [16:12] and gals! hehe [16:12] that's how ndiswrapper will load on reboots, but you should still be able to get it working otherwise [16:12] misblay: Sorry what does iwconfig say?

[16:13] misblay: And heath|work is right, you need to add /etc/modules if you want ndiswrapper to load up on boot [16:13] ASULutzy, ah excuse me, it was ifconfig that has output [16:14] ASULutzy, iwconfig still doesnt output anything :S [16:14] jrib: I'm able to start the 2nd instance, ctrl+f8 to it but I can't start a xterm on it - i always get ' X: client 1 rejected from local host' from X [16:14] toocold: maybe with pdftk.

[16:48] huhu [16:48] Broly, lynx or w3m [16:48] ScottG489: It makes full screen stuff not get directed to compiz, which will stop full screen games/videos/etc from flickering, but I would also try adding that option "VideoOverlay" in your xorg.conf, I'm guessing I added that for a reason ;) [16:48] hier ^ ^ [16:48] Broly: links (install the links-ssl package) [16:48] Broly: another good one is lynx [16:48] Much betterest [16:48] okay [16:48] i am having this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/101738/ when i try using the eclipse help, i also have other problems related to eclipse (if i save any file i get the GC Warning: Out of Memory!

I'd like to share the information (everything from bookmarks to settings and master passwords) between both my Firefox-installations. There is a shared hard drive on which the info could be placed. Is this arrangement possible, and i, how should I proceed [16:50] broly - i believe it is, but how to i have no idea [16:50] ASULutzy: lol its so funny that you said that cuz i was reading over the xorg and VideoOverlay was the one thing that jumped out at me even though i dont get what it means lol [16:51] ill do some research, thanks guys ill be back once i can get in x [16:51] why does google refuse connections only on ubuntu?

But hopefully that works for you! [16:51] ASULutzy: can i find that in the package manager? [16:51] galera alguém ai tem algum conhecimento em snort ?? [16:51] wo finde ich Pulse?

Works fine, except that I can't change the background images on the Cube Caps. My graphics card is a Nvidia, if it matters anyhow. [16:53] ASULutzy: i'll try reinstall though [16:53] cristi: Eclipse is using gcj and not sun's java though... You need to update alternatives... Let me see if I can find something [16:53] ASULutzy: aw thats no fun! [16:54] hi [16:54] heath|work: Trying the alternative CD now. There were some errors on sr0, but it's in the installer now. [16:54] anyone know any good widget applications for ubuntu [16:54] ASULutzy: i also noticed I have a subsection in my "Screen" section called ""SubSection "Display"" [16:54] ASULutzy: bless you for helping :D [16:54] Isvara, word [16:54] ASULutzy: It actually caused me problems with making my login screen go far to the right. im thinking I could just get rid of it. It just has my resolution [16:54] Seracht: gDesklets maybe - http://www.gdesklets.de/ [16:55] cristi: try sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [16:55] heath|work: Would sr0 be the internal SATA CD drive, or the external USB one? [16:55] how do i make the taskbar transperent [16:55] I don't think I've ever actually used SATA in Linux before. [16:55] ASULutzy: do you want the output? [16:55] ASULutzy: your sections are a different order too lol. its so much different, strange [16:56] hey people. should I run my iptables script pre-up or post-up in network/inerfaces (not using network manager) [16:56] toxicvomit; right click it then properties> background select solid color and adjust style slider [16:56] How can I enable PAE on Ubuntu 8.10? [16:56] Isvara, probably the external [16:56] ScottG489: Yea, the only things of real interest are the VideoOverlay section and the loading of the glx module, I added those to fix problems I was having, not sure if they'll work for you or not, but you can always backup xorg.conf and give it a whirl [16:56] cristi: Sure? use a pastebin though [16:57] my laptop freezes if I don't press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse, does any one have any ideas? [16:57] !PAE [16:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about PAE [16:57] ASULutzy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101750/ [16:57] I have a machine w/ 8 GB memory [16:57] but I need 32-bit ubuntu [16:57] cristi: Does eclipse still freak out when you try and run it? [16:57] How do I make a quick backup of a file? [16:58] so, the next best thins is to enable physical address expansion [16:58] ScottG489: cp? [16:58] aka PAE [16:58] ScottG489; cp file newfilename [16:58] but this is a kernel option [16:58] rmrfslash: desktop or server? [16:58] hey.. does the wicd support the b43 driver? [16:58] not sure why this isn't a default [16:58] or, on by default [16:58] bastid_raZor: yea that works [16:58] ASULutzy: seems not! when i was saving a file it was usually running the cpu at 60% and then quit with the out of memory error, not it seems just fine. [16:58] rmrfslash: it's default on the server kernel [16:58] ASULutzy: thank you! :D [16:58] Scott489: get HUBackup from Synaptic [16:58] but I'm not running the server kernel [16:58] any way to enable this on the desktop version [16:58] ? [16:59] cristi: Heh, $WORK pays me to know Java, among other things, so yea, I had to go through the same things. Glad I could help!

[16:59] How do you make a network manager recognize a wireless chip? === jewel is now known as minus18_pundit [17:00] I actually need the java plugin for mozilla which is ridiculously broken on 64-bit linux when you try to run 32-bit mozilla [17:00] so the short trm solution (at the time) was to just use 32 bit ubuntu [17:01] a mistake, in my opinion [17:01] but wasn't my decision [17:01] heath|work: Seems to be going okay now. It detected my NIC, which Debian wouldn't do (even when I told it what it was). So perhaps it was a video thing. [17:01] q2: (q1 was not answered) How to install skype? (downloaded skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb)?? [17:02] So basically, there's no easy way to enable PAE on ubuntu after-the-fact [17:02] Whats a good command line program for comparing files? [17:02] or even during initial installation for that matter [17:02] Isvara, I think so... If you have no video on reboot install envyng and get the newest drivers [17:02] bummer.... [17:02] Scott... diff [17:02] ScottG489: diff or md5sum [17:03] ScottG489: depending on what you mean by comparing [17:03] md5sum won't compare files will it? [17:03] just gives you the hash, yes? [17:03] ASULutzy: Pretty much just straight text. So I don't think I need a checksum [17:03] which I guess you could compare two hashes [17:03] If I run lpci I can see my wireless chip on the motherboard but it does not recognize it in any networking managers I use. I cannot connect with the terminal either [17:04] but that'll only tell you if they're "different" [17:04] not what is different [17:04] Any help? Anyone want to at least like, pretend or something? [17:04] Who asked about Skype? [17:04] rmrfslash: Right, which is why I said depending on what you mean by comparing ;), if you just want to check if they're different, md5sum is the way to go, if you actually want to do line by line comparisons, diff [17:04] heath|work: Corrupted debs, though :-( I think today is conspiring against me. [17:04] right [17:04] q3: (1 and 2: no answer) how to create execution desktop icons? [17:05] Isvara, maybe the cd drive is bad [17:05] or you real pissed somebody off [17:05] real =>really [17:06] I'll burn another one more slowly and try it from the external CD drive.

Works fine, except that I can't change the background images on the Cube Caps. My graphics card is a Nvidia, if it matters anyhow. Is this a common enough problem? [17:07] ASULutzy: Will I need to restart anything after I edit the xorg.conf file [17:07] Compiz.... yuck. [17:07] Polysics: ffmpeg can do it just fine, what command are you using to convert [17:08] hello, i have rouble with installing 8.10 X86_64: cd stops booting by loading "powernowd". ... [17:08] misha - i cant change the top/bottom images, but background, just change the background [17:08] Scott, yeah.... kwm or gdm [17:08] Hmmm. Do I have to wait still? Curious. [17:08] compiz...yummy [17:08] ScottG489: You shouldn't have to do a full restart, just restart X [17:08] misha; #compiz-fuzsion may be a good place to ask too.

[17:20] rmr, no firewalls [17:20] lvr: open synaptic and search for the package name [17:20] wesley__: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto there's this, but I would say as far as Ubuntu is concerned, ext4 is definitely not offcially supported until Jaunty, so #ubuntu won't be much help === MartinN00b|GIGA is now known as MartinN00b|XP [17:20] installed ipblock last night, but its not even running [17:20] wesley__: There's always #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu+1 [17:21] http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 [17:21] gasto - install envyng, then from terminal run envyng -t, then 0 to uninstall, then when it comes back up, use envyng -t then 1 to install then reboot [17:21] gasto - after the uninstall, reboot the machine [17:21] bastid_raZor: thank you [17:21] omnydevi, OK I will update when that happens [17:21] lvr: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/package-name... [17:21] DaHopi: I can't see a kernel option for it at all, [17:21] wesley__: 2.6.28 is not part of Intrepid yet, so not really supported, again try #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-offtopic [17:21] you sure it's not running? [17:21] i.e. you don't have iptables rules [17:21] wesley__: it's not supported at all [17:22] wesley__: you can try ASULutzy's suggestion, but we don't support ext4 yet, so you'll be on your own - if it breaks, it'll be your problem, not ours. [17:22] I used to use vlc 0.8.6a as my multimedia player on my Ubuntu Hardy Box. Then I decided to update it from the source code. I am a newbie in Linux so thought it will be updated when I would compile it from source code. After I compiled it from source code, whenever I start vlc from Applications>Sound & Video>VLC media player nothing would start but when I try to open any music file or video file in vlc I can only hear the audio but I cannot see where the pl [17:22] ayer is? [17:22] When I type vlc in the terminal I get the following output:"http://paste.ubuntu.com/101758/" .I don't know what to to get the GUI back!! Plz anyone help me [17:22] sudo iptables -L === fysaen is now known as fysaen|away [17:22] gasto - also, if it lists more than 1 driver you can install, install the recommended one. even if it isnt the latest. like mine, i have 173 installed, even though 177 is available [17:22] tyta_linux: Run this please: sudo iptables -L [17:22] !who | rmrfslash [17:22] rmrfslash: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:22] !away > fysaen|away [17:22] fysaen|away, please see my private message [17:22] hello, how do I capture audio from a youtube video on Ubuntu? thanks a lot [17:22] Gnea are you stupid orso? You wont get warranty from ubuntu [17:22] wesley__: drop the attitude, he's expalining the situation to you [17:23] wesley__: i was about to help you out, but it seems that you don't want it. [17:23] ubottu: is this good? [17:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about is this good? [17:23] asul paste in here? [17:23] wesley__: he's providing you with a sound bit of advice/warning [17:23] wesley_ - do not insult people here, they are trying to help [17:23] ASULutzy: still getting that flickering :/ [17:23] Q: anyone has a pointer to the windows based installer that install ubuntu in a file on the windows partition ? [17:23] !paste | tyta_linux [17:23] tyta_linux: 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) [17:23] Lutyz did [17:23] wesley__: what ? [17:24] ubottu: is this how I should address messages [17:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:24] ScottG489: Did you do the unredirect full screen windows thing and the video overlay thing? The other surefire way to fix it is to do metacity --replace & in a terminal, but this will disable desktop effects [17:24] I used to use vlc 0.8.6a as my multimedia player on my Ubuntu Hardy Box. Then I decided to update it from the source code. I am a newbie in Linux so thought it will be updated when I would compile it from source code.

(the key is a file on /home, both partitions are in my crypttab, LUKS) [17:25] ikonia: I get it [17:25] ikonia: and how do you know it's a "he" [17:25] wesley__: #ubuntu is for ubuntu support, as 2.6.28 is not a part of 8.10 or previous, it's not supported here, that's all. I provided you a link that could be helpful, but if you want actual help with it, there are channels for that. #ubuntu+1 and #ubuntu-offtopic will provide more assitance than here [17:25] Only ASUluty helped me Gnea was no help, he was only not believing that ext4 is stable, and if i am correct Ubuntu comes without warranty so if something breaks its my problem even if its supported is it my problem still [17:26] wesley__: this channel is for supported ubuntu solutions/help - ext4 is not supported/stable release yet, so it is not supported(discussed) in here [17:26] wesley__: does that make it a little clearer for you ? [17:26] I used to use vlc 0.8.6a as my multimedia player on my Ubuntu Hardy Box. Then I decided to update it from the source code.

What else should I have done? [17:26] this channel is on fire [17:26] rmrfslash: please don't be silly [17:26] !repeat | Maggie [17:26] Whats a good app to do a resume? [17:26] Maggie: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [17:26] ASULutzy: Oh yea and the compiz thing. I did that too [17:27] ikonia you dont get it? on all ubuntu cds cleary stands ubuntu isnt responisble for data loss and theres no warranty [17:27] Whats a good app to do a resume? [17:27] narothepharoh, docs.google.com [17:27] uh [17:27] wesley_ - welcome to every OS on the planet [17:27] hi my name is mouli [17:27] ikonia: sorry, I'll be more serious... :-\ [17:27] wesley__: I do get it - your not listening. I'm explaining THIS CHANNEL's support requirments [17:27] wesley__: You must have a problem reading. Ext4 is not supported in 8.10 or previous, therefore it is offtopic for this channel. [17:27] why is the rubygems 1.3.1 package installing rubygems 1.2.0 ?+ [17:27] ASULutzy: Even when I put Google Earth in Full Screen it still flickers. Maybe it isnt true full screen though [17:27] i smell a kick [17:27] i have a fresh laptop i dont have a bootable ubutu cd [17:27] tyta_linux: REJECT tcp -- anywhere anywhere reject-with tcp-reset that doesn't look right? [17:28] hello [17:28] thats why i use Kubuntu, we get support for non supported things [17:28] wesley__: no you don't [17:28] i need to create one and update over the net how do i do it [17:28] how do I set up inetd to run ftpd? [17:28] lol [17:28] tyta_linux: sudo iptables -F and don't use ipblock [17:28] I need rubygems version 1.3.1 or up [17:28] wesley__, #kubuntu [17:28] ikonia yes i do, i get support for kde4.2 in kubuntu irc channel [17:28] ohzie that just takes me to gmail [17:28] tyta_linux: that command will erase all your iptables rules [17:28] wesley__: there is a package for it - [17:28] wesley__: it's you who doesn't get it - you don't go around insulting people like that. you just DON'T! if you want to be helped, you need to be respectful, and that includes not lying. [17:28] ASULutzy: Now that I think about it. When my screen saver has been running it hasn't flickered at all. [17:28] tyta_linux: I would just clear out iptables and accept all [17:28] narothepharoh, At the top? Documents. [17:29] ScottG489: Yea, it needs to be full screen fullscreen ;) [17:29] wesley__: look - I'm not arguing this anymore with you, please just accept the situation/advice/warnings given to you and I wish you look with it [17:29] theres no officialy kde4.2 package, === kayetanadmin is now known as something132 [17:29] tyta_linux: I used to use progs like ipblock but its honestly easier to just learn how to use iptables [17:29] ScottG489: But again, fglrx + compiz is always a bit tricky. If something is really bad, you can always do metacity --replace & and then switch back to compiz when done with compiz --replace & [17:29] ASULutzy: Well I can't watch all video in completely full screen. Is there a fix for regular video? [17:29] s/look/uck [17:29] luck [17:29] tyta_linux: and you'll feel cool when you have all that glorious iptables output and you know what it all means ;) [17:29] hi guys i need to create a live dvd from my operating system can you hellp [17:29] wesley__: if you can figure that out and abide by it, the ubuntu mailing list might be a better forum to discuss your successes [17:29] wesley__: If you're interested in help with Ext4, you'll get help by asking in ##linux , not in #*ubuntu . :) [17:29] oops [17:30] ohzie: I paste to browser and it takes me to gmail [17:30] sound problem [17:30] thanks everyone [17:30] that worked [17:30] ASULutzy: I heard this is just a problem with 8.10? I also didn't have this problem before I reinstalled before [17:30] ikonia: I don't really understand why people get indignant when they're told to go to #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-offtopic... Those channels aren't like, second-class channels for has-beens. They're there for a reason. [17:30] so should i lose ipblock [17:30] ? [17:30] Scott - sometimes for games etc, i have to disable compiz. maybe for certain aps you may have to do the same. [17:30] tyta_linux: read my replies [17:30] ASULutzy: concur [17:30] Whats a good app to do a resume? [17:30] ASULutzy: heh [17:31] ScottG489: My desktop is running 8.04, so doubtful. Fglrx and compiz have always not played together nicely, heck they used to not play together at all iirc [17:31] At boot, how can I have my swap be decrypted *after* my home partition? (the key is a file on /home, both partitions are in my crypttab, LUKS) [17:31] narothepharoh: openoffice.org [17:31] rmrfs, sorry [17:31] thanks! [17:31] Gnea: which part ? [17:31] I'm trying to use screen and rtorrent in the crontab to run on my headless server. rtorrent seems installed correctly, when i start it in a terminal it uses my .rtorrent.rc file to watch a director. I have gotten screen to start a rtorrent session on reboot but the rtorrent session isn't watching my directory like it's not using my .rtorrent.rc file. [17:32] narothepharoh: writer [17:32] Ima gonna figure out how to get SeaMonkey [17:32] How do I install adobe Flash player for 64-bit ubuntu? [17:32] tyta_linux: this is where I got started https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [17:32] Hi all... Is ther any way to tell update-rc.d that I want priority S90 or similar? My problem is I need to wait for Asterisk which is S20 to be started in my script. Thanks. [17:32] biggerfisch: install the package flashplugin-nonfree [17:32] biggerfisch: just get that package from the package manager [17:32] Gnea: well I dont have writer how do i install? [17:32] tyta_linux: very informative, very intuitive [17:32] iplaythisgam: if I understand correctly, you want your server to start rtorrent in a screen, under your account when it starts up, and to keep it running? [17:32] ikonia ok [17:32] ASULutzy: I'm gonna try to change my driver to radeon. that fixed some problems other times [17:32] ryanakca correct [17:33] ScottG489: I've never tried the Radeon driver. Back when I was configuring my desktop with ati card it wasn't nearly mature enough, but that was about a year ago, so perhaps radeon is the way to go now [17:33] ryanakca Ive got a screen session runnin on startup now, but its a su session - i figure this is whats causing my problem [17:33] ikonia, apt-get says it is all ready the latest version but it doesnt work [17:34] Do you know any console way to make programs autostart? [17:34] biggerfisch: define doesn't work please. [17:34] narothepharoh: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer [17:34] ASULutzy: ill let you know how it goes [17:34] flash does not run on a web site [17:34] biggerfisch: define doesn't run - what do you see and what is the problem [17:34] iplaythisgam: maybe put something to start / stop it in /etc/init.d/ ... use sudo -u iplaythisgam screen -S rtorrent rtorrent as the command... and then you can add a cron.hourly (or however often you want) that will check that it's running, and if not, start it. [17:34] biggerfisch: I think that was another reason I wanted Ubuntu with PAE rather than 64-bit ubuntu.... no flash plugin for 64-bit [17:34] iplaythisgame - i just edit .profile to start my apps on login. just sudo vi .profile and add the name to the bottom of the list [17:35] rmrfslash: there is - please don't miss-lead people [17:35] anyone know a tool to scan MP3's and update the ID3 tags like itunes does? [17:35] what is PAE? [17:35] biggerfisch: memory extension [17:35] or do what ryan says, sounds like he knows more than i do about this :D [17:35] ok === fysaen|away is now known as fysaen [17:35] !away > fysaen [17:35] fysaen, please see my private message [17:35] i just restarted firefox again and it works this time. thank you [17:35] I used to use vlc 0.8.6a as my multimedia player on my Ubuntu Hardy Box.

[17:36] ikonia: sorry, the last time I looked (which was before November) it was unavailable [17:36] rmrfslash: it's been available for a years as a 32bit wrapper, and it was released just over a month ago native [17:37] brb, going to install ubuntu on our esx server so i can use it on the client server. then i can help more cause i will have a visual. [17:37] ikonia: Is the native release actually released yet? Or is it still like alpha-beta'ish quality? [17:37] ASULutzy: still beta (official stamp is beta I think) [17:37] ikonia whats still in beta? [17:38] ASULutzy: very promising results so far, but not without issue [17:41] In older versions of ubuntu, it used to display which programs started up at the initial loading screen, e.g. writing "OK" for the programs that started. But that can't be seen in the new version, how do you get it back? [17:41] how to know which version of ubuntu in my pc? [17:41] hi, are there anny here who can help me find new "chat" clients?

[17:45] ScottG489: You could try the default driver. [17:45] gfather, You know what partition and drive it's on? [17:45] Hi, I asked a few days ago about how to prevent kernel packages from getting overwritten with automatic updates. I was point in the direction of the pinning how-to but couldn't get it to work and was wondering if someone had any further ideas [17:45] thats what i do nmot know! [17:45] lintunen: thats the right way to do it, you need to get that to work [17:46] http://xa2.is-ishim.ru/ [17:46] scottg489: did you run sudo update-grub after changing the config file? [17:46] MrHankey: I mean, when you execute kopete or pidgin, do the applications come up? At what point do you determine they're not working? [17:46] hmm i think so , its on my sata srive [17:46] drive [17:46] im so tired of not being able of "chating" with my friends! [17:46] ikonia: despite following the instructions (to lock in Synaptic) the packages still get overwritten [17:46] lintunen: Why not just copy vmlinuz_* and initrd-* to your own version in /boot and then specify it in Grub as default? [17:46] thanx rmrfslash , ASULutzy , ohzie [17:46] lintunen: which instructions did you follow (can you show me the url) [17:46] MrHankey: You could also try meebo.com in the mean time while you debug these clients [17:46] hajar: np [17:46] MrHankey: pidgin should work, try starting it from terminal and describing what the errors you get are [17:47] thanx too much it was a problem for me [17:47] ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto <-- section on holding packages [17:47] gfather, The important part is knowing what grub calls it, and then adding it manually with the grub config. You have to add the entry I'll PM you in a second, and then run the grub-update or update-grub command. [17:47] oks [17:48] MrHankey: or mibbit.com [17:48] lintunen; Apt/Dpkg Section in the list is the easiest way to go. i use it for a few packages. [17:48] MrHankey: or gtalk [17:48] beniwtv: I don't understand what that will achieve, ie I don't see how it will stop the updater from wanting to override the kernel packages [17:48] lunch time [17:49] just curious...did someone just kick cybermx4 [17:49] lintunen: which package did you "lock" ? [17:49] lintunen: as in what is the name [17:49] lintunen: It will not, but it will allow you to boot the kernel *you* specify, regardless of what kernel ubuntu installs [17:49] Jimi__Hendrix: there is no user in this channel with that nick [17:50] Hello.

[17:50] ikonia: i'm wanting to lock the linux image and linux header kernel packages [17:50] ikonia, i know...he was complaining about being kicked and i want to know what he did...yes i am that bored [17:50] MrHankey: click applications -> Accessories -> Terminal and type pidgin, you need to explain what doesn't work about it [17:51] ikoni, can u help me with my amsn problems?? [17:51] !ask | MrHankey [17:51] MrHankey: 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. :-) [17:51] Jimi__Hendrix: he's not listed as ever being in this channel, where is he complaining ? [17:51] beniwtv: that part is fine, I am loading the kernel version I want [17:51] * icqn sees that ikonia has a lot to do.... he is my hero! [17:51] lintunen: why would you need to do this with kernel packages? [17:51] #ubuntu-programming...said #ubuntu chat but i think he was in #ubuntu-cy [17:52] Jimi__Hendrix: what is his nick, I'll speak to him [17:52] Jimi__Hendrix: as in his current nick [17:52] How can I clear a disk from all partitions using fdisk? (but automatically, from command line, not with interactive menu) [17:53] Hello. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid the other day and got my surround sound up and running but now ALL audio crackles and skips. Can someone please help me with this, it's really bad and sound is almost unbearable ? Thanks in advance. [17:53] jrib: applied a patch [17:53] ikonia, you dont need to talk to him...i dont think... [17:53] he says #ubuntu-programming are his only friends in irc... [17:53] so hes either very emotional or messing with us... [17:53] Jimi__Hendrix: if he's been kicked/removed please direct him to #ubuntu-ops or #ubuntu-irc rather than taking up space in other channels [17:54] lintunen: if you followed ubottu's instructions, then the resulting package should have a name different than the packages in the repository [17:54] lintunen: Then why do you still want to lock it? (Maybe I didn't understand your question correctly) [17:54] I don't even know if it's possible to lock kernel packages I just don't want to accidentally undo any damage with automatic updates :-) [17:54] anyone have a g9 mouse? [17:54] is nvidia 180 backported to intrepid? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1, are there packages somewhere?

[17:54] g9 looks ugly [17:54] phoenixz: You can't do that non-interactively with fdisk [17:54] phoenixz: You have to use sfdisk [17:54] ya it does, but it's amazing [17:54] ikonia, lol ok [17:55] seeing as it descended from the MX510 mouse, it would have to be amazing [17:55] trying to get it working [17:55] icqn: I don't believe it is... I just installed Ubuntu and I got 173.82 which I believe is still the latest non beta nvidia driver [17:56] lintunen: at least, that's what happened at one point. In any case, more generally, you should always increment the version and append '~jrib1' (or your name :)) using 'dch -i' for example [17:56] erica647, what is this then https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 ?

[17:58] Hello. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid the other day and got my surround sound up and running but now ALL audio crackles and skips. Can someone please help me with this, it's really bad and sound is almost unbearable ? Thanks in advance. [17:58] icqn: I haven't seen that but would recommend you check the nvidia website to see what the latest non-beta driver is. Also I wouldn't worry much about updating unless you're having issues [17:59] lintunen: I remember now that what I said about the naming was if you pulled from git. Anyway, yes I am saying you are looking in the wrong place. A lock isn't necessary. Just increment the version as I explained before building the deb [17:59] hi how do I install digikam with just it's minimum dependencies? Each time I select it synaptic tells me it's gonna install all sorts of unwanted apps (dolphin for instance) [18:00] erica647, yes i am aware of it, that it is beta, but there are problems with title bars on nvidia card geforce 7,6 series (with compiz compositing manager) [18:00] Whats a good app to do a resume? [18:00] lintunen: I think he meant that if you did your own kernel package, you should append something to the version, to not to be the same version as Ubuntu packages. [18:00] narothepharoh: any wordprocessor/text editor [18:00] narothepharoh: openoffice writer couldn't do it? [18:01] Gnea: It says this...openoffice.org-writer set to manually installed. [18:01] I want to log in fedora through ssh, I know what that can done with command ssh but there is a GUI to do that? [18:01] icqn: You'll probably have to do a manual install then per the instructions on the Nvidia site. I do remember seeing them there but haven't tried it myself [18:01] doglino: you mean vnc? [18:01] jrib, beniwtv : I see, I'll look into that. Thanks! [18:01] narothepharoh: oh. and it's not in the Applications->Office menu? [18:01] Gnea: I want templates to make it easy you know [18:02] Gnea: no [18:02] narothepharoh: oh. well, you didn't say that, so no, i'm sorry, i didn't know. [18:02] jrib no [18:02] rothchild: as I understand it, Synaptic installs only the base dependencies, anything else should be listed as recommended. [18:02] erica647, i do not really want to install it with every kernel update [18:02] lintunen: That way, you won't have to worry about updates :) Just specify the kernel as default and there you go. [18:02] jri just to send/receivce files [18:02] Gnea: yes i did you told me how to install [18:03] doglino: you can use Nautilus: File -> connect to server [18:03] icqn: I sure understand that... but I doubt it's going to be included in the released version of Ubuntu as long as it's beta [18:03] beniwtv: thanks :-) [18:03] tristanmike: that's what I thought and when I look at the dependencies I can't see dolphin in amongst them? (hence ending up here!) [18:03] narothepharoh: check this out: open up firefox and search google for the following terms: openoffice resume templates [18:03] lintunen: you increment the version with 'dch -i' and then append '~lintunen1'. Then you'll only be offered the repo version when there is a new version out of the package. At that point you see what the changes are and try to merge them somehow [18:03] v [18:03] Sorry to interrupt... Anyone out there got a Novatel (Verizon) V640 working in Ubuntu? I have a Dell Mini-9 and USB adapter & can't get it to work. Thanks! [18:04] wow this is cool [18:04] jrib: OK, thanks [18:04] jrib yeah [18:04] erica647, i hope it will be included somewhere as packages :-) [18:04] jrib thanks, [18:04] narothepharoh: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=open+office+resume+templates [18:04] icqn: yeah I was looking for it myself the other day just to try it out. I didn't see it though [18:04] rothchild: it's a KDE app ? [18:04] mlwinning: Does it get detected? (You can see the command dmesg in a terminal for that, after plugging it in. [18:05] ASULutzy: there's some pretty cool stuff there, actually [18:05] icqn: I even checked out some other distros and they're all using 173.82 as well [18:05] jrib Nautilus rocks! [18:05] hehe [18:05] 177.82 I mean [18:05] sorry [18:05] No. Tried command line and Gnome. Power turns light green but that is all. [18:05] hello! is there a package that makes the drawing of qt apps with gtk+ ? I know there is a package making gtk apps look like qt, but is there one for the opposite job? [18:05] tristanmike: yes it's a kde app (I don't get on with F-spot) but it only depends on a few libraries (which I have no trouble with) but when I mark it to install synaptic tells me it want's to install most of KDE4 [18:06] mlwinnig: what does dmesg say if you plug it in? (use http://paste.ubuntu.com if the output is large) [18:06] Can I install ubuntu from the alternate ISO using UNetbootiN? [18:06] I'm trying to boot intrepid live cd on a thinkpad R31 with an orinoco based mini-pci wlan card. However, Intrepid hangs on boot with lots of "eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP" error messages. Any thoughts on how I can get Intrepid to boot? === krishna is now known as Tom_ [18:06] anyone know how i can install the classic version of XMMS? [18:07] Found info for Linux but not Ubuntu per se. My Gnome does not have a detect button and it keeps changing USB to PPP IP port. [18:07] malex: I suggest you wait for a reasonable ammount of time, it may be dhcp timing out [18:07] malex: how can you be sure that eth1 is the wlan card? [18:07] rothchild: right, but the problems lies in the fact that those dependencies might need dependencies and those might need certain dependencies, and so on. As far as I know, generally, when you run "Gnome" and want KDE apps installed, you have to basically install KDE which I suspect is why you're getting so many "unrelated" packages to install... I suspect anyway. [18:07] Is there any software to trace a specific ip address in ubuntu 8.10? [18:07] guys anyone can help me with grub settings ? [18:07] Tom_: tracroute and the network tools from system -> administration [18:08] tristanmike: synaptic calculates the dependencies fully, you don't have a problem with that [18:08] whenever I insert a dvd in my super drive i get this error "Unable to mount the volume NEW. mount point /media/cdrom0 doesn't exist". Would you please help me how I fix it. [18:08] rothchild: what do you want to do? wasn't here since the beginning [18:08] i need to know the location of specific ip address?can i get that [18:09] mlwinning: Just to be sure, we are both talking about Verizon cable modems right? [18:09] tristanmike: it's ok I found a synaptic setting that had 'reccomends marked as dependencies' turned it off and now I can install with just the real depends [18:09] ratpoison: right, but he's curious as to why, when running Gnome, and trying to install a KDE app, Synaptic wants to install, what appears, to be unrelated packages. [18:09] erica647, why have you checked that? do you have issues? [18:09] EhsenSiraj: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0 maybe? :X [18:09] need program to mount the DVD =) [18:09]
