[00:00] Austin`1: nevermind [00:00] http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [00:00] * eseven73 does a dance [00:00] <%mzz> yay .deb === xavier13 is now known as TriBeCa99 [00:00] kole: Menu > Accessories > Terminal [00:00] Barridus: eh, sorry [00:00] right click the panel [00:00] est28, envy off the web or envyng from our repos.. there is a difference [00:00] kole: also, alt+f2, gnome-terminal and system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts has an option to open a termianl [00:00] raylu, no prob. i gather from the link there is no "shortcut" for a path? [00:00] *terminal [00:00] I ran a "cp -rf" that failed towards the end, how do I restart it so it continues on from the last file? [00:00] Barridus: er, like i said, ~ [00:00] kole: ctrl-alt-f1 but it's more useful to run it under the Terminal as rww says [00:00] that failed too [00:00] Jack_Sparrow: : from web [00:00] Barridus: you mean in the gui, don't you? [00:01] yeah [00:01] Barridus: heh. [00:01] est28, Not good.. and sorry cant help fix it [00:01] maybe i should have specified [00:01] can anyone help? "mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1" is adding the devices as spare, rather than replacing the two missing drives. what do i need to do to get them to replace those drives? [00:01] Barridus: there should be a way to bind a key to "nautilus ~" [00:01] !hotkey [00:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about hotkey [00:01] !shortcut [00:01] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [00:01] nickrud: himm, looking at debmirror source, it looks like it does just fetch these with rsync, so that dir shouldn't be involved... I'll give it a go, though [00:01] !acpi [00:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi [00:01] raylu: well I umount'd the fs and I still froze when touching ~/Desktop/sadfsadf. I suppose that I should reboot and then retry? [00:01] Jack_Sparrow: yes, but the is no way to turn off desktop effects ? maybe I can uninstal compiz ? [00:01] !search acpi [00:01] Found: hdbug [00:01] hmmm ok cool, i didn't realize i could do that. thanks raylu [00:02] I'm using rsync.mirrorservice.org, BTW [00:02] jjlee, ah, I thought you were having issues with simple filling of the apt list, not debmirror [00:02] est28, if this is a new install and nothing to lose, why not re-install ? [00:02] Austin`1: no. i'm thinking this is a hard drive issue [00:02] demilord_78 ok, that one worked. Thank you. now even the network thing is back!! Thank you very much. Am a beginner and a noob. Sorry for stupid questions. Now I know for next time. [00:02] Austin`1: what you could try is editing your /etc/fstab and replacing "relatime" with "noatime" [00:02] est28, you can try sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager [00:02] nickrud: plus, apt-get falls over if I move that dir out of the way [00:02] :-/ [00:02] y.w AndreasMadrid :-) [00:02] Austin`1: also, perhaps "sudo dmesg | tail" or "tail /var/log/messages" has something to offer [00:03] I was a n00b 2 [00:03] :-) [00:03] Jack_Sparrow: : thank you ,will try [00:03] * TriBeCa99 kills himself [00:03] Anacranom: : thanks, will see [00:03] jjlee, just the contents, not the dir (I did say the contents of ;) [00:03] est28, there is also /join #nvidia but they are a bit slow to answer [00:03] how do i get konsole to open links in firefox? [00:03] est28, i would do a full re-install of 8.10 and if you have to have envy, then do it from the repos, would be cleaner, envy from the web leaves clutter everywhere [00:03] i don't have kubuntu, just konsole in regular ubuntu [00:04] Jack_Sparrow: : but what is wronk with envy from web ? [00:04] ozzloy: right click them? [00:04] raylu: that's mostly wlan0 issues. and ppdev0 [00:04] all .. i need some help with a wireless connection .. i have a iwlagn card but the max i can connect to my router at is 54, however in windows i can connect at the full 300mb ... any ideas ? [00:04] est28, envy even from our repos should be considered a last resort [00:04] !envy [00:04] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [00:04] raylu: I have to 'relatime' in /etc/fstab. want me to pastebin it? [00:04] n2diy: that opens a new konsole with some text browser [00:04] Jack_Sparrow: : ok, got it [00:05] Austin`1: sure [00:05] * Anacranom agrees with Jack_Sparrow , and refuses to use envy, ever again [00:05] n2diy: how do i configure where that menu option points? [00:05] raylu: http://pastebin.com/m21b9c454 [00:05] ozzloy: I don't know, it was just a guess, GL. [00:05] envy is awesome if it works .. if it doesnt its a quick way to a brick :-p [00:05] Austin`1: hm... [00:05] Austin`1: perhaps i have my distros confused === VoX is now known as vox [00:05] n2diy: thx anyways ^_^ [00:06] * est28 thanks Anacranom and Jack_Sparrow for clarification [00:06] np [00:06] raylu: I'm not good with fstab but 'errors=remount-ro' seems important [00:06] Austin`1: that just means to remount the fs readonly if it encounters errors [00:06] Austin`1: so you get a recovery shell that's usable. anyway, i'd try http://pastebin.com/d49296835 [00:07] before i completely lose my mind here, can someone please give me a hand with mdadm? [00:07] sooo... whats synaptic? [00:07] Austin`1: i doubt it'd make a difference. also, maybe "sudo dmesg | grep sda3" and "grep sda3 /var/log/messages" [00:07] !synaptic | kole [00:07] kole: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [00:07] kole, Package manager [00:08] kole, synaptic is the package manager [00:08] kole: see for yourself, from the menu System > Administration > Synaptic, similar to Applications > Add/Remove... [00:08] yup [00:08] ozzloy: I just typed http://www.yahoo.com into my terminal, and right clicking it gave me the option to "open link". [00:08] raylu: ok. doing mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab2 and then nano /etc/fstab break anything? [00:08] hmmm it can't seem to find libdvdread3 in there... [00:08] raylu: http://pastebin.com/m54495e66 [00:09] Austin`1: no, it won't [00:09] !dvd > kole [00:09] kole, please see my private message [00:09] n2diy: yeah, i know. when i click that it opens up a new konsole with lynx or something [00:09] Austin`1: :( [00:09] n2diy: does it open in firefox for you? [00:09] bye folks! [00:10] anyone skilled with networking ubuntu and windows on home netwok? got an issue... [00:10] well it looks like i am now locked at 60mb ... but that is still way too slow for a N connection .. can anyone help ? [00:10] raylu: reboot now? [00:10] is a kernel panic the same as a BSOD? [00:10] Austin`1: yes [00:10] ozzloy: I"m testing it now. [00:11] gtkhash is in my update list, but it won't install. says it's a size mismatch === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [00:12] its not letting me type my password in my terminal [00:12] kole, incorrect password then? [00:12] kole: it doesnt show what you type [00:12] kole, It never shows, just type blind and enter [00:12] kole: yes it is. it doesn't show anything while you type [00:12] ohhh ok [00:12] Any way to get a quick and dirty text readout of what updates I can do after a fresh install of Ubuntu? [00:12] wow, late on that one [00:12] if i install software using sudo, does that mean that it will run under the root account? [00:12] ahh, I thought he knew that...... my apologies kole [00:12] kole: when's the last time you ever saw your password when you typed it into a field? [00:13] Sanketsu: sudo apt-get upgrade i think [00:13] im used to asterixessss [00:13] Sanketsu, yes, it should create an icon on your taskbar, looks like an orange gear [00:13] click it for a list of updates === bitFish is now known as Bitfish [00:13] for example if i install apache using sudo, will its threads be owned by root? [00:13] phpbb3: i think he wants a text list [00:13] Skippy1981: apache runs as the www-data user [00:14] !dvd is For DVD playback, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Encrypted%20DVDs [00:14] KenBW22, that list should be sufficient unless he wants copy/pastes. [00:14] ok thanks jrib [00:14] hmm, switching to archive.ubuntu.com cures the problem. I wonder what's wrong at mirrorservice.org? [00:14] Well, like something I can copy and paste and have y'all look at to see what might break my internet capability on my laptop. [00:14] How do I set up DVD playing in Ubuntu? [00:14] !dvd | AnneShirley [00:14] AnneShirley: 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 [00:14] Yes KenBW22, that's what I'm wanting. [00:14] AnneShirley: also, see 5 lines above you [00:14] i was hoping someone could help with a wireless N issue using the iwlagn driver... seems i cant make it over 60Mb inside linux, but in windows i can get almost 300 ... any idea ? [00:15] AnneShirley, use a DVD player on the O/S. open it through the start menu and tell it to read the disc drive [00:15] Sanketsu: "sudo apt-get upgrade" then [00:15] Hello channel. I have some problems getting my Ubuntu Intrepid laptop working on my in-laws' router. Their windows machine has no probloem, but it seems Autoeth0 doesn't do it. No hole through to the world. Any good suggestions? Writing from their windows machine now. [00:15] raylu: no change, it still froze [00:15] Hello, I am having some serious sound problems. About a day ago it all started. Not sure what I did but I was trying to get my headphones to work so I could talk on Skype. It is currently making a static noise that starts as soon as the kernel loads. I can hear sounds under the static slightly and I can change the volume of the static by adjusting the in-gain control under the SigmaTel... [00:15] Quick question: I have a desktop-turned-server. If I uninstall X and GDM, will it still start Apache at boot? [00:15] ...STAC9205 menu in volume control applet. In alsamixer if I turn the capture device off, I lose all sound. I can't change the master volume there. Although, if I hold the master volume slider in the vol control app at its max volume, I can hear music from banshee for a split second. [00:15] Ok, and it won't do any of the upgrades at that time then KenBW22? [00:15] chalcedony, Are you running it under ndiswrapper or does it have true linux driver/support [00:15] Sanketsu: not till you ok it [00:15] hello [00:15] ozzloy: Yes, it opened with Firefox, which was already running. [00:15] lusepuster: ifconfig. do they use a static ip? [00:15] !hi [00:15] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:16] Austin`1: i figured [00:16] AnneShirley, you wouldn't happen to be shirley_mcdermott would you? [00:16] Ok, thanks, I should be back in a few minutes with that list. [00:16] Austin`1: all that's left is to blame it on your hard drive [00:16] canthus14, yes [00:16] I am on 8.10 which I just upgraded to from Hardy about 3 days ago. [00:16] raylu: ill just bear with it, it seems to only be when editing files on the desktop [00:16] Jack_Sparrow, were you talking to me .. if so its true support .. not ndiswrapper [00:16] Austin`1: did you run "df -hx tmpfs" yet? [00:16] raylu: on my other partition (8.04) its fine [00:16] raylu: it seems they use dhcp [00:16] nickrud: THanks. [00:16] Austin`1: you should also consider fsck, actually [00:16] lusepuster: then an "ifconfig" output will help. also, "host google.com" [00:17] chadeldridge, ty.. let people know what card/chipset [00:17] yeah! I fixed my own stinking problem :D [00:17] raylu: well.. a couple times when it was booting and it wanted to do fsck, I hit skip. I hate to admit it [00:17] NewUbuntuDude, Congrats [00:17] NewUbuntuDude, good :) [00:17] Austin`1: hehe, i've been there [00:17] a good tech. finds there mistakes. [00:17] Jack_Sparrow, Sure .. the card is an intel N draft 2 card that is supported by iwlagn driver [00:17] raylu: ill just run fsck again. eventually [00:17] their [00:18] Austin`1: so, df -hx tmpfs [00:18] n2diy: his P [00:18] raylu, I do have an ifconfig output but I can't paste it, since there's no hole through. Amy7 specific parts you want me to write off by hand, or it all? [00:18] raylu: http://pastebin.com/m20368251 [00:18] n2diy: :P. my colon key is broken [00:18] n2diy: well damn. [00:18] lusepuster: for now, the ip would be nice. do you have a usb drive or something? [00:18] is there a keystroke to get the compiz cube to appear ? [00:18] gtkhash is in my update list, but it won't install. says it's a size mismatch, might anyone know how to fix this? [00:19] raylu: Roger that, my mouse button was sticky, talk about a headache! [00:19] raylu: I also did a traceroute6 google.com, and a ping google.com, and both said "unknown host" [00:19] NewUbuntuDude: ctrl+alt+click and drag, ctrl+alt+ [00:19] lusepuster: well, if host says no, then nothing else is going to work [00:19] NewUbuntuDude, Noe sec.. you need a bit of config [00:19] My ubuntu 8.10 just crashed, I guess it was a kernel panic (keyboard led blinking). And hints on where to find information what caused it? [00:19] Austin`1: your hard drive is almost full [00:20] NewUbuntuDude, o to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse [00:20] dD0T yep in the logs [00:20] phpbb3: pastebin of the install process, please [00:20] dD0T: you know the keyboard Led blinking is giving you an error code in morse code ? [00:20] dD0T: check your log files in /var/log [00:20] All i have an Intel 4965agn wireless card and am having issues getting full speed from it inside 8.10. It is using the iwlagn driver and gets up to 60mb but no higher, i can reach almost 300mb in windows. [00:20] linxeh: Didn't know that. Damn [00:20] n2diy: Well, I know that much ;-) But which of these ;-) [00:21] !reisub | dD0T [00:21] dD0T: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [00:21] raylu [00:21] sup guys...I got a problem. Just installed 8.10 from the liveCD (had to install the video card drivers to see all of the install screen because of the resoloution) and I did the automated install and made a 20gb partition for my install [00:21] raylu, my ifconfig output doesn't contain an IP... [00:21] everything went good, no errors, I made sure that the bootloader (grub) was checked during the install [00:21] ubottu: I already hardresetted the machine and rebooted. [00:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:21] dD0T: Well, your guess is as good as mine!? :) [00:21] W: Failed to fetch http://repoubuntusoftware.info/./gtkhash_0.2.0-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb [00:21] Size mismatch [00:21] lusepuster: ok. is the wired device eth0? [00:21] goat123 and [00:21] hey guys, anyone happen to be familiar with andlinux and know if it will upgrade to 8.04 or 8.10 cleanly? [00:21] raylu, ^^^^^ [00:21] install finished, rebooted, no bootloader? [00:21] chadeldridge, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=724990 [00:21] ok one last problem [00:21] phpbb3: repoubuntusoftware.info? wtf? [00:21] went right back to XP [00:22] So apparently the MUX channel is controlling the static. [00:22] raylu: I would think so. What other options are there? [00:22] !ohmy > raylu [00:22] raylu, please see my private message [00:22] raylu: could it being full be a problem? [00:22] raylu, no idea, it's a copy/paste from the error [00:22] goat123 thers a few ways to do that [00:22] im playing a dvd but the audio is super low... any way to fix that? (I have system volumn in mixer cranked) [00:22] !ohmy [00:22] Please watch your language, attitude and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [00:22] how do i query what version a package is with apt or aptitude? [00:22] Austin`1: it's hard to find nodes to allocate to a file, i believe [00:22] Austin`1: resizing ext3 is pretty easy, though... if you have the space [00:22] whats the best way? :) [00:22] goat123 you can install grub from the live cd or using supergrub [00:22] kids in a linux irc room. god help them! [00:23] Austin`1: why is it so full, anyway? i'd consider sharing /home between your two installs [00:23] !version [00:23] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [00:23] I already peeked at the logfiles in /var/log/ but kern.log, debug and dmesg contain nothing I find suspicious [00:23] goat123: do you have multiple drives? [00:23] Jack_Sparrow, well thats a big ol crock of poo ... thanks for finding that. ubuntu is still so far behind with the wireless .. /sad [00:23] yeah raylu [00:23] Wicked: aptitude show [00:23] raylu: probably because of a few virtual machines I never use. and link me to sharing /home/? [00:23] goat123: all internal? [00:23] the ubuntu install went on on primary master which the xp install is on as well [00:23] yup [00:23] raylu, ah awesome. thanks =) [00:23] 2 IDE and 3 SATA [00:24] Austin`1: not sure of any links. basically, it involves having a separate partition for /home [00:24] goat123strange it didnt install grub [00:24] Austin`1: and mounting /home in fstab. and not formatting /home during install [00:24] goat123 i would use the super grub cd [00:24] where is the china suport [00:24] goat123, there are issues that can come up when you mix ide and sata [00:24] phpbb3: /etc/apt/sources.list [00:24] ! ch [00:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about ch [00:24] ! cn [00:24] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [00:24] lusepuster: sudo dhclient eth0 [00:24] lusepuster: (sorry for taking so long) [00:24] Alright. I guess I'll wait for the next crash then and look at the errcode. Thanks! [00:25] Supergrub? I'll check that out. Will the installation have to be re-done or is there a way to patch the bootloader? [00:25] raylu: ok, I don't think that that is necessary. deleted all of my stupid Windows machines [00:25] tratata [00:25] still can't get the compiz cube to show up :( when I press super ctrl I see water marks so compiz should be happy, ??? help ! ? [00:25] how to arrive there [00:25] raylu: /dev/sda3 45G 21G 23G 49% / [00:25] Austin`1: yay. [00:25] goat123 supergrub installs the boot laoder [00:25] whoa. it seems the package gallery2 is very out of date......not something i see as good. [00:25] NewUbuntuDude, Did you follow my guide [00:25] raylu: Anyway, I would assume the wired device is eth0-. There is no other devices showing up in my ifconfig output than eth0 , lo, wmaster0 and and wlan0 [00:25] goat123 or even fixes a bad one [00:25] sweet [00:25] goat123 its a live cd [00:25] missed it jack [00:25] lusepuster: ok. so try that command [00:25] NewUbuntuDude, o to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse [00:25] I'm lookin at the website right now [00:26] goat123: also, gparted exists on your ubuntu livecd [00:26] raylu: that command = host google.com? [00:26] goat123: *grub-install exists on your ubuntu livecd [00:26] yeah thats the partition program right? [00:26] I've ran it before while messing around witht he LiveCD [00:26] lusepuster: no, "sudo dhclient eth0" [00:26] raylu, is there a way to just remove it from my update list? [00:26] goat123 yea but if itsfailing using ubuntus script probly are not gonna help [00:26] phpbb3: yes... /etc/apt/sources.list [00:26] raylu: Oh sorry, didn't see that [00:26] phpbb3, Why is that repo in there anyhow? [00:27] ahhh good point gotcha [00:27] raylu: it still freezes though [00:27] Austin`1: :(. fsck, then [00:27] Jack_Sparrow, it's UUE, does that make a diference? [00:27] UUE = ? [00:27] phpbb3, what is uue [00:27] !uue [00:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about uue [00:27] !search uue [00:27] Found: [00:27] Jack_Sparrow: IT WORKED!

[00:27] NewUbuntuDude, np [00:27] !mint [00:27] phpbb3: not supported. also, sounds lame [00:27] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [00:28] goat123 i have a usb hd so i had to use sper grub to put grub on it ubuntu wouldent do it [00:28] raylu, actually, 'tis really good :P [00:28] phpbb3, we dont support the OS you are using... [00:28] phpbb3: how so? [00:28] can I create a user for mysql server in phpmyadmin ? [00:28] goat123 being i didnt whant it on my primary [00:28] raylu: yep [00:28] phpbb3, Please find the right channel / support for the OS you want to use [00:28] same O/S, just a nicer skin and a couple extra apps [00:28] techsupport: yes [00:28] phpbb3: and different repositories... [00:28] raylu, how ? [00:28] seemed weird to me that the bootloader didn't work. I've messed with linux a little bit before and my previous experience was it just overwrote the windows loader [00:28] techsupport: login as root, go to permissions [00:29] goat123 i use wingrub [00:29] goat123 to start my usb drive [00:29] . [00:29] raylu, it's always used archives.ubuntu before. [00:29] phpbb3: like i've said, /etc/apt/sources.list [00:29] phpbb3, Your release is not supported here... [00:30] alright, thank you Jack_Sparrow and raylu === Colrol is now known as Rolcol === j is now known as Guest78515 [00:31] Im running ubuntu from a laptop but would be pleased to be able to use my tft aswell. What application do I need to install for this to work? [00:31] alright now [00:31] goat123: i still suggest trying the ubuntu live cd's grub-install first [00:31] mas2: tft = ? [00:32] how would I run that raylu? thats different then the automated script I guess, or what?

[00:34] raylu: I am concerned with the sound issue right now. The KDE thing was just so I didn't have so many packages that wanted to be updated all of the time since I am on a tight budget with bandwidth.

And that might help even if dhclient does not yied anything?

I'm asking about what will be the safest way to do it...

[01:22] mas2: sounds good .. so you are using the ati's prop fglx drivers [01:22] bazhang, yes... did you read the link that you pasted me? [01:22] tbrock ubuntu restricted extras [01:22] rxs: yes. [01:22] tbrock that comes with flash and java [01:22] bazhang, floppy installtion: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies it says sarge there... [01:22] amas2: and they are working fine , can you take a look at this now http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Configuring [01:22] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 i386 on my new Dell Studio desktop, but after I install it, my keyboard and mouse don't work. I can do ctrl+alt+f1 on the gui login screen, but nothing else works. I also did what was suggested on the releasenotes page to no avail. [01:22] gogereaver, sorry i'm not understanding [01:22] P4C0, this is ubuntu support only #debian for their support [01:22] Hey has the Icons content changed directory in Ubuntu 8.10? [01:22] I installed flash-nonfree, and you are saying that i should not have because it is a restricted extra [01:22] ? [01:22] All: Is there a WebMaster channel where you can discuss java, javascript, PHP and others, with how they all work together, without someone trying to tell you "Against the rules" for this discussion? [01:23] jrib in dont see that anywhere..."unmae -m" [01:23] dougemd: only this domain name presents problem in resolution? [01:23] TBotNik, gee.. thats a 'broad' range of topics. :) [01:23] TBotNik, there are java php etc channels yes [01:23] bazhang, ... do you have anything good to say or are you just trolling around? [01:23] tbrock it comes in the extra package set installing it alone is a bit dated [01:23] mas2: did you do anything similar ever ? [01:23] * usser hehe [01:23] Bonjour Tout Le Monde !!! :) [01:23] allymarie: just go to a terminal, type 'uname -m' without the quotes, and hit enter [01:24] gogereaver, ah, so i should uninstall and then install ubuntu-extras [01:24] what is the exact package name? [01:24] tbrock ubuntu-restricted-extras yep [01:24] jrib i686 [01:24] ubuntu-restricted-extras tbrock [01:24] allymarie: ok, you want the i386 deb then. Get that one [01:24] rxs: no I didn't use any commands. I only thought it was weird that it didn't was detected in screen resolution but I was able to use it (wrong resolution but still). Have only used Ubuntu for 2 days now. [01:24] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 i386 on my new Dell Studio desktop, but after I install it, my keyboard and mouse don't work.

[01:24] tbrock that will also install java [01:25] rxs: Should I be able to fix my problem with the link you sent to me? [01:25] jrib....and how would i go about that one? [01:25] jrib...geez, i am a headache [01:25] allymarie: it's a link, you click it... [01:25] ok, i don't seem to see how this is any different than just installing it on its own, why is that dated? [01:25] mas2: yes... I have a lappie with a ati x300 card. I was suffering with FGLRX for long and then decided to use the opensource drivers and life is easy now ... [01:26] jrib I followed those directions, so now using evdev, but still no luck (xev and xbindkeys do not register those buttons/wheel) [01:26] Kunin: you restarted X? [01:26] jrib..but where is this magical link? [01:26] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 i386 on my new Dell Studio desktop, but after I install it, my keyboard and mouse don't work. I can do ctrl+alt+f1 on the gui login screen, but nothing else works. I also did what was suggested on the release notes page to no avail. [01:26] allymarie: in the bug report in the WORKAROUNDS section [01:26] jrib yes, ctrl+alt+bksp [01:26] rxs: so I can use aticonfig commands and they edit the xorg.conf for me? And this works because I got an ATI card and using FGLRX ? [01:26] jrib....sorry but this has been going on for months just trying to get my gnutella to work [01:26] gogereaver, i'm cool with java, but i just wanted to know why the other way, with just one package is outdated, it should be the same [01:26] mas2: the opensource drivers are pretty stable and everything works great for me ... unless ur a avid gamer and need very great 3d accel .. I would recommen them [01:27] Guys, where's the "start" icon in Ubuntu 8.10 I checked .icons and there's nothing in it [01:27] mas2: yes... [01:27] allymarie: do you understand what you need to do now? [01:27] jrib...that link says its not found when i click on it [01:27] Kunin: did you verify it is using evdev by reading /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:27] rxs: FGLRX is not an open source? what should I use insteed? [01:27] mas2: the aticonfig has to be done on a terminal as root as it edits the xorg and puts in appropriate sections ... [01:28] bazhang: Yeah, of no help at all, have industrial strength IE problem and no one know how to fix, but all thumping their chest pretending. [01:28] rxs: I see, do I have to run it as a root or can I use sudo ? [01:28] allymarie: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gtk-gnutella/gtk-gnutella_0.96.5-1build1_i386.deb [01:28] mas2: yes u can use sudo [01:28] jrib ah, missed an error... can't open /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-mouse [01:28] TBotNik, for testing?

[01:28] jrib...thanks you [01:28] allymarie: double click on it [01:29] mas2: this aticonfig thing works only with fglrx driver .. okay before you do anything .. let me give you a link, so that you can understand the setting perfectly .. please hang on [01:29] jrib...open with archive manager?/ [01:29] allymarie: no, install gdebi [01:29] tbrock acully the set downloads it from flash directly and configurs it for ubuntu [01:29] I can't login anymore. gdm segfaults when I put in the right password, the CLI login segfaults as well [01:29] gogereaver, ok, cool [01:29] tbroc non-free is a older deb package [01:30] rxs: thanks! if it's to any help for you to help me :) I want 1440x1050 for my laptop and 1680x1050 for my external. [01:30] bazhang: Main script wouldn't work for test, so created sample. #javascript guy says have to loose the [] in the $var[] PHP arrays, but nothing works at all then. At least with those in FF and Safari run it fine, but IE is clueless. [01:30] gogereaver, bummer that it isn't maintained [01:30] gogereaver, ok right when i installed it it took away my battery icon on my laptop [01:30] there are other people talking about this in the forums [01:30] jrib dependancy is not staisfiable [01:30] I am having a problem during installation if anyone can help [01:30] gnome power manager got borked [01:31] *sigh* [01:31] jrib...is that because of the other work i did in the terminal [01:31] allymarie: k, guess you can't use that then. No, it's not your fault [01:31] jrib: amusing... I had a slightly different named file in that directory, so I changed xorg.conf to match... now my mouse doesn't go left and right, only up and down (as is normal movement) [01:31] jrib...well that makes me feel better that it's not ME LMAO [01:31] can anyone help me with games here? [01:32] Kunin: you mean just dragging the mouse? weird indeed [01:32] mas2: I get that .. can you please look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver , I can tell you quickly how to do it with a few commands / give you a modified xorg file that you can replace .. but that wont help in the long run ... [01:32] my system seems to reboot seemingly for no reason when I reach 22 percent of software install during installation any ideas [01:32] allymarie: let's go back to the README.Debian. What step are you on?

Now my video drivers won't install properly to allow for 3d - anyone?

[01:55] i just installed fedora 10 and i don't have any sound... can anyone help? [01:55] Area52: i would suggest setting up an ssh tunnel to your server, and forward your web traffic through there, but i cant say how to do it exactly, there are tutorials for that [01:55] i have access to my ssh telnet and webmin to my server behind the router i want to access but to access the router i need to make that router think that the server is sending the info [01:56] Area52: if you already have a ssh forward setup in the router and can ssh into the machine on the other side of the router using ur homes global ip, I would suggest using ssh with X forwarding, start firefox on the remote machine and edit ur router config as if you are at home behind it :) [01:56] <_dennister> dman: from my very limited knowledge of compiz, yes [01:56] ksierks, #fedora for that [01:56] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 i386 on my new Dell Studio desktop, but after I install it, my keyboard and mouse don't work. I can do ctrl+alt+f1 on the gui login screen, but nothing else works. I also did what was suggested on the release notes page to no avail. [01:56] thanks _den [01:56] <_dennister> or at least it used to, way back when i did take a stab at it [01:57] thats the problam its server ... does firefox run on a server with no gui [01:57] kk....lost my x.org data so I'm wondering if I just need to do a fresh install [01:57] Is there a file that lists all the packages installed on a system?

[02:00] what a useless question [02:00] well I got xchat completely purge from system and reinstalled. Its working great now, but ...when I ran a locate command it brought back the .xchat2 folder, but I can nt see it in nautilus?

Try clicking the one in your menu [02:03] on the mini.iso image how can I change the repository that packages are downloaded from? I tried 'tab' and 'enter' as well as just typing the url that I wanted. [02:03] i'm actually thinking of just leaving Ubuntu for something better, like, i dunno, Vista or something.. ;) but if anyone has any cute ideas about why Intrepid is so craptastic for suspend on my X41, i'll lend an ear... [02:03] hi, is there any software that allows real time effects under ubuntu? maybe ardour? thanks [02:03] <_dennister> Dr_willis: yeah, i generally don't have a problem either... [02:03] how can i take space off w/out using synaptic or add/remove programs, and theyre all linux prgrams from synaptic [02:03] I noticed there's no 'scanner' kernel module. I plug in my scanner (which has worked in previous kernels) and the system just sees it as a regular full-speed USB device (and not as a scanner which xsane can detect). What gives?? [02:03] I'm on 8.10.

[02:04] Is the current version of Ubuntu stable or should I go for the second latest release? [02:04] whats tht [02:04] <_dennister> dman: of course, if you really want to reinstall the whole thing, go ahead...i'm just suggesting there are probably backups of the xorg.conf file in your system so you don't have to reinstall the whole bloody thing [02:05] kayt, I'm using 8.10 at the moment and it's been bug-free so far [02:05] kayt: releases are always stable. 8.10 is the latest release [02:05] rxs: sure, http://paste.ubuntu.com/101977/ [02:05] Baz_ : do you wnat to see just the restricted drivers or all hardware [02:05] karlp: yeah, it installs a bunch of extra cr- er, stuff... :) i'm usually a Debian luser.

So you've never updated then have all this stuff that randomly doesn't work? [02:06] kayt: I haven't had any problems with it. I'd recommend 8.10 over 8.04 because a lot of sound issues are fixed. [02:06] josh_: run 'jockey-gtk' in a shell [02:06] Reading package lists... Error!

[02:06] exodus_ms, Baz_: i think hal-device-manager is installed by default on ubuntu [02:06] kayt ubuntu really only has bugs with special devices like some wifi ( which can be made to work many times), Ipods, TVtuners, and stuff like that [02:06] haha [02:06] whats the linux version of explorer [02:06] jerrod: I told you already. Your hard drive is full [02:06] jrib...maybe...how do i check that?

[02:08] Uhm, I mount an sftp server to my computer and transfer many large files to my pc. Is there any way to have it resume downloads instead of only two options: OVERWRITE and SKIP. It's annoying having to browse through MANY MANY files and check filesizes v_v [02:08] How can I check whether my wireless etc will work properly in a lappy before I buy?

Neither Audacity nor ardour do that; ReZound I dont know, it'd crash on me everytime. . Any ideas? thanks a lot. [02:20] rxs: looking at your link [02:20] allymarie: 'mv ~/.gtk-gnutella/ ~/.gtk-gnutella.old' should do it. It's just a directory that starts with a dot. Those are hidden by default, so you can't see them in nautilus without going to View -> Show hidden files [02:20] Audacity can import mp3's .. no idea on the real-time stuff. :) [02:20] 110 degrees for 9 days [02:20] jrib: While I research this... you happen to have the MX5500 keyboard as well?

[02:21] rxs: hehe i tried but i'm not fast enough [02:22] lorenzo, worth a try at least; thought ardour would do though [02:22] allymarie: okay, but the command I gave you may just resolve the issue so you don't need to do that [02:22] pinkster: can you try anther wire ? [02:22] jrib...okay...what was that command again and it goes in the terminal? [02:22] bazhang, ardour is ok, but it wont let me import mp3 which is a problem for me because i do that a lot when working with audio. [02:22] how do i add a hardrive to virtualbox?

I would assume removing the card is not an option , after that login as usual ( u have to go to the login screen by typing cntr-alf f7) and then used the restricted drivers thingie to uninstall the driver for the card [02:24] jrib.....thanks again...have a happy new year and a good night [02:24] rxs: is pseudo terminal through 'recovery' mode in the grub menu? [02:25] Kunin: i tried the ubuntu live cd but like i said it just says 'clean' but yet when i boot into it normally it gives file system errors and refuses to do anything till i press ctrl D [02:25] no .. when you come to the login screen type cntr+alt+f1 [02:25] Hey...

[02:28] dman, do yo have a separate home partition or not [02:28] rxs: that worked! I am in! [02:28] yes [02:28] pinkster: can you try if that wire works with anyother machine ? if so , try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" and again the "sudo dhclient eth0", if it doesnt work, restart ur system if possible [02:28] 0inkness : i don't have desktop icons and menu in gnome :( [02:28] dman, yes? [02:28] Baz_: good for you [02:28] Kunin: that's probably the easiest solution then [02:28] Kunin: i think you meant that for jigpe :) [02:28] if I don't have a separate home part, then it won't eh? [02:28] Kunin : so I will download 8.10?and install it? [02:29] dman, correct though you can backup /msg ubottu backup for more info [02:29] eseven73: Nope, jrib he was helping me with an issue [02:29] I can get the live cd to run, but when I go to install it reboots at 22-26% with no explenation, any ideas, thanks in advance [02:29] ah [02:29] 8.10 [02:29] woot, thanks! [02:29] jrib: yeah... as long as my other stuff works [02:29] dman, what is the issue btw [02:29] Kunin I don't have problem in 8.04 except for the desktop icons and the menu they're gone [02:29] f [02:29] hi, in ubuntu .10, where is the X config file? [02:29] wfire: gui isntall or text install ? [02:29] flaco: same place it usually is (yes, mostly empty is correct) [02:29] 8.10 is more stable than 8.04? [02:29] tried both, niether worked [02:30] how do i mount a cd extra? nothing comes up in dmesg when i insert the CD [02:30] even tried 6.06 and kubuntu [02:30] Kunin: the only really annoying bug I've found on 8.10 is that GNOME won't remember your session, check the release notes for more (see !notes) [02:30] jigpe: No, older releases are as a guideline, more stable [02:30] so this is a bug that's why I have no icons and menu in gnome 8.04? [02:30] Flannel, /etc/X11/xorg.org ? [02:30] and the net install of debian, all reboot in the same spot [02:30] really confused [02:30] jrib: BAH... testing to see what special buttons on the MX5500 keyboard works... apparently the power button does [02:30] checked the ram and the harddrives, both good [02:30] wfire: system specs ? or what it was doing while it rebooted ? do you remember the last reported operation on screen ? [02:30] flaco: yep [02:30] wfire, alternate cd as well? did you md5 the iso [02:31] Flannel, I'm asking because this is my xorg.conf: http://dpaste.com/106607/ [02:31] Flannel : this happens when I switch to kde environment.desktop icons and menu are gone if I switch to gnome [02:31] didn't do the md5, will do that, but I also tried the alternate and burned at slowest speed [02:31] jrib: Know if intrepid fixed the issue (I think it was a kernel one though) where massive numbers of connections (like having a ton of torrents going) causes a hard lock? [02:31] Kunin: no idea [02:31] flaco: Correct. Its all done automagically now. [02:31] my spam filter went crazy! how can I clear the db in bogofilter? [02:31] will go do the md5 real quick to double check [02:31] rxs: excuse my retardation but how do i get to the restricted drivers thinggy [02:32] Hello, I have a strange problem with graphics card drivers: I made ubuntu use a restricted driver for my graphics card, and it messed up the whole gui--completely white after I login to ubuntu. So I started up in recovery mode, and choose to try and restore the X system. Now I have my gui back, but it's very very slow, and buggy, any ideas how to get the previous settings back ?\ [02:32] Flannel, :S and there is no way to get the "old style" ? [02:32] Baz_: nothing retarted , but whats ur desktop gnome or kde ? [02:32] system spec - pentium 4 2.4 Ghz with 1 gig ram and 80 gig and 40 gig hd [02:32] white screen in remote desktop viewer ... any ideas? ubuntu 8.10 .. works from the other direction fine [02:32] wfire, also do the disk integrity check; alternate works sometimes when live cd with boot parameters specified fails [02:32] flaco: I believe whatever you stick in there (presumably the old stuff) is honored. [02:32] rxs: gnome [02:32] flaco: But, I haven't really kept up on the new X, someone else likely knows more. [02:33] dick integrity check, I didn't see that option [02:33] Guest64230: what graphics card do you have ? [02:33] jrib: there a fix for the need to remove teh usb key on reboot for this mouse to work? [02:33] wfire, sounds like a bad burn or corrupt iso [02:33] !notes [02:33] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [02:33] Baz_: system-->Admin-->Hardware Drivers [02:33] bazhang I thought that too but it does it on 4 didn't releases [02:33] rxs: oh i tried that and only got nvidia wanting to upgrade to 177 === Guest64230 is now known as Blu2 [02:34] Flannel: that's correct from my experience. I have a bunch of stuff in xorg.conf, and it all seems to override the autodetection properly [02:34] Kunin: don't know, doesn't happen here [02:34] will do the text only and hope to see what it is doing when it reboots [02:34] Guest64230: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri [02:34] how to configure the desktop icons and menu in gnome?icons and menu are gone.. [02:34] wfire, failing that, could be poor quality media; the alternate would be worth a try imo === Blu2 is now known as Guest81512 [02:34] Baz_: can you tell me how you instal the card in the first place ? [02:34] rxs: and that "no propriety drivers are in use on this sytem" [02:34] jigpe: do you still have a panel? [02:34] be back in a bit with hopefully more info [02:34] oh and thanks [02:34] is there an equivalent linux kernel flag to darwin's idlehalt? [02:34] rxs: like i do all my other hardware, stuck it in the computer and let ubuntu take care of the rest! :) [02:35] rww : I see nothing but desktop picture.no icons and no menus [02:35] my system doesn't boot up unless i'm either moving the mouse around or holding a key during bootup === kerm|t is now known as moses___ [02:35] jigpe: hrm. Does Alt-F2 work (it should pop up a "Run Application" window)? [02:35] Baz_: did ubuntu say anything in specific about the wireless card / ask to install any new software / drivers ? [02:35] rww but If I switch to kde, I can click the icons and the menus. [02:35] rww nope no alt f2 [02:35] Do I need to say a special command to submit a question? [02:36] rww no reply if I press that keys [02:36] rxs : I have an asus 600pro (I'm the former Guestxxxx) [02:36] Oinkness: nope, just go ahead and ask it, preferably all on one line, with as much info as you think is required [02:36] Oinkness: no just ask [02:36] hello, do you know how I can install compiz or compiz-fusion (not sure what the difference is) on xubuntu intrepid? My synaptic or apt-get install doesn't have all the libs and I don't know where to get them from. [02:36] rxs: nothing, it went really smooth - i was happy. Stuck in the card, booted up and there was the network manager with all the wireless networks listed [02:36] Guest81512: can you try this and reboot your system ? sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri [02:36] jigpe: sounds like your GNOME configuration is majorly messed up and it isn't starting properly. Would you like instructions on resetting it back to defaults? === Guest81512 is now known as [1]blue [02:37] Baz_ did you do any kernel updates after that ? [02:37] Ok... Well I'm trying to use KompoZer for HTML editing but the program closes itself out whenever I try to open a "sub menu"... Like View > Show/Hide > from the menu bar makes it close out, for example... Any way to fix this so I can use the program without fear of it closing? [02:38] Guest81512: what is the graphics card ..if you have no clue .. does ur machine say nvidia or ati anywhere on the top .. like lables etc ? [02:38] <[1]blue> rxs : ok, I'll try that.

I have been to just about every place I can imagine and have been unable to resolve my display problem. It defaults to 800x600 when it's capable of 1280x1024. a little xorg.conf help (if that's correct) would be much appreciated. [02:39] [1]blue: then please follow these steps : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [02:39] I could come back when it's not so busy. ;D [02:39] jigpe: yeah, all your files and firefox settings will be there.

[02:40] Baz_: awesome ! so you just have a wireless card and no wired card ? [02:40] gordtz: New install?

[02:57] How do I connect to the internet with NetGear wg111 and ndiswrapper [02:57] rxs: it would be very laborious and difficult as i would have to move the machine to another room along with a monitor etc. [02:57] Kunin, Make one like that and one of just /home [02:58] rxs: are u suggesting i need updates?

[03:29] <[1]Blue> Just to make sure : when I type lspci I get "05:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600]" as my graphics card.

[03:45] rxs: yep, just a sec.. thanks for your help, btw! [03:45] nazraf: so the camera does work, just in ekiga? [03:45] I've learned that Ubuntu 8.10 hates nVidia cards. Good thing I have a Windows XP disk on hand. [03:45] rxs: wireless working fast and flawlessly out of the box!! hahahaha! Man i feel bad having wasted your time but without all the thorough stuff you checked that I wouldn't have known i would have never suspected the router [03:45] Dr_willis, yeah...even the most minimal ones have GNOME....fills up the drive :P [03:45] yes so far jut in ekiga [03:46] Wingard, Using Envy drivers of OSS drivers?

[03:46] rxs: http://pastebin.com/m76acbfed [03:46] LurkersA: Using proprietary drivers, the problem is that X11 doesn't want to read xorg.conf. [03:46] +j #kubuntu [03:46] LurkersA: conky would be good for just on a desktop, but i want something fullscreen, and a slideshow of pics is possible [03:46] nazraf: well, its got a module loaded i assume, it just doesnt work in other programs, you on intrepid? [03:47] could anyone solve this cryptic error?:http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/ [03:47] LurkersA: it wont have a keyboard/mouse attached, so you wont need to be able to see the desktop [03:47] could anyone solve this cryptic error?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/ [03:47] LtL pardon me im a nube what is intrepid? [03:47] Wingard, Odd, have you tried 'sudo nvidia-settings' and writing the xorg.conf through there? [03:47] nazraf: 8.10 ubuntu, the latest version [03:48] LtL yes [03:48] LurkersA: Tried that twice, then tried using dpkg-reconfigure, which didn't give me any monitor/display config, just language and keyboard. [03:48] Soopa : have added the lines to your xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/m2183d5dd [03:48] un_dave, Not sure then. Conky would have been the first choice, mad it fullscreen, but there is bound to be a piece of software for what you want [03:48] Wingard, GFX card model? [03:48] LurkersA: GeForce 6200. [03:48] LurkersA: yeah, it seems like something common, but i cant find it! [03:48] nazraf: my cam worked fine until the upgrade, hopefully they'll fix it. you are in the same boat without a workaround.

[03:51] LurkersA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102005/ This is my xorg.conf, notice anything blatantly wrong? I also tried adding a modeline, but that just horribly broke things. [03:51] LurkersA, thx [03:52] did you add those virtuallines ? if so .. restart x and then type those xrandr commands and you should be good to go [03:52] LtL so should i gram a logitech camera and find the latest driver for it on the logitech website? and see if that works?

Reboot? [03:52] LtL i ment grab [03:52] Soopa: Press CTRL + ALT + Backspace [03:53] yeah i looked at that, i was hoping there was a more clear cut article, but i'll look at that again [03:53] Soopa, alt-ctrl-backspace, or restart the gdm service === Folken_ is now known as |Folken| [03:53] Meshezabeel, That never works for me either, try clicking 'Search' and using that [03:53] if I want to connect my ipod to my machine (hardy) is there an app that will support playing the files on it? [03:53] nazraf: the best way is use a camera the kernel recognizes and has a module for, otherwise an update will come along and break a self-installed driver. but you can try. [03:53] Soopa : logout and login again [03:53] :) [03:53] Anybody wanna help a poor fool get through a Ubuntu 8.10 installation gone bad? [03:53] LurkersA: the quick search always used to work properly in the previous versions of ubuntu. === |Folken| is now known as Dysanders [03:53] it seems broken in 8.10 [03:53] thanks Wingard, Dr_willis, and rxs.. brb [03:53] Toad what went wrong?

[03:54] Wingard: Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 , can you remove the tab between Screen and 0 ? [03:54] LurkersA, its fine... just sorta drives me nuts, google has such nice setup docs compared to apples [03:54] LurkersA: yes [03:54] The guided Partition Manager crashed, so I hit reset and did it manually [03:55] After the installation completed, I logged in and I can move the mouse around, [03:55] nazraf: in a perfect world, no proprietory drivers are needed, but its no perfect world. if the hardware is ubuntu supported, it just works [03:55] !x | rxs [03:55] rxs: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[04:02] raylu: so it's takes 3x the force to get a space on the right hand side as it does the left [04:02] Soopa: did you try this Soopa: in a terminal : xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 ; xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 --right-of VGA-0 [04:02] !.local [04:02] TC1, since exit 0 exits the script.. :) thats a YES... [04:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about local [04:02] ! ping [04:02] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [04:02] marabout, it works thanks [04:02] CTRL-ALT-BS won't work for me.... [04:02] Pooky: oh. fun [04:02] chrisaw: too large for the... hard drive? [04:03] rxs: Yes, I changed line 6. It caused a parsing error when I restarted X and my xorg.conf is now gone. [04:03] raylu, yes :( [04:03] Dracie_: so I assume MobileMe is using an Imap server? [04:03] !sysrq [04:03] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [04:03] chrisaw: that site doens't mention anything about that... how big is your hard drive? [04:03] Dr_willis, tks. [04:03] marabout, it can use pop3 but you have to contact mobileme support to enable it - i like imap more anyways === Blu2 is now known as [2]Blue [04:03] raylu, 2 GB [04:03] Dracie_: yeah me too [04:04] marabout, you use .mac too? [04:04] marabout, Dracie_: so does the rest of the sane world [04:04] Wingard: no nothing is gone , please do cntr-alt-f1 , go to pseudo terminal , then use nano to give the space again and then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:04] rxs: okay, maybe I had a typo.. that sort of worked [04:04] raylu, well said lol [04:04] rxs: but now all the TV does is flicker [04:04] Can anyone help me manually install grub? Someone suggested I "sudo grub" on the command line, but then what? [04:04] rxs: to save a second: invoke-rcd = /etc/init.d/ [04:04] chrisaw: i have an eee and xubuntu runs very nicely on it - u need to get into usb drives and sd sticks to give yourself another 40gb - it will be a painfull road trying to squeeze mb's out of your 2gb [04:04] rxs: *invoke-rc.d [04:04] Logomachist, you need to do sudo grub-install /dev/(device) [04:04] !grub [04:04] 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 [04:05] hmm [04:05] Dracie_: No but I am a Mac user. I traded a friend an old iMac (G3) for an everex Laptop so I decided to check out Ubuntu with it... [04:05] chrisaw: um... i don't think there's really any way to install ubuntu in that with a gui [04:05] chrisaw: i'm sure you could, but you're going to run into issues later [04:05] chrisaw: the sd card is especially nice cuz u pop it in and leave it there for ever - make it your /home folder - bam instant 8gb [04:05] Anybody know what the best way would be to install a driver on an unstable Ubuntu installtion? Recovery Console? [04:05] Soopa: so all that the tv does is flicker ? and no stabe image ? can you move your mouse to the screen ? [04:05] marabout, cool, get debian on there... better mac support i think === nosbig_ is now known as nosbig [04:06] could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/ [04:06] raylu: so I do mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdc2 /media/drobo -o gid=1001 ... and it mounts fine, but the filesystem is still read only [04:06] Thanks Dracie. Now it says "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." [04:06] Baz_: at 2gb, i'd be putting most of my system on that card too [04:06] rxs: oh! I can move my mouse to the right and it shows up, but yeah, it just flickers.. no stable image [04:06] qqx: yeah go in and edit it :) that is what I did [04:06] raylu, well eeebuntu already installed, but I only have 135 MB free...I wanted something without a DE, but I know it will be able to fit on 2 GB confortably, if a full DE like GNOME fit. [04:06] Pooky: hfsplus ...? [04:06] Soopa: I think there s some sync / refresh rate issue .. I cannot help more .. I am sorry .. [04:07] Pooky: isn't that a mac thing? [04:07] chrisaw, read about compressing some of your fielsystem [04:07] Dracie_: still trying to get a handle on Ubuntu not sure if I want to add another dimension to this learning experience I've been having... [04:07] qqx: change it to: fd = open (filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 00644); [04:07] marabout, debian isn't that much harder [04:07] any news? [04:07] raylu: it's the filesystem typically used on a mac, yes [04:07] chrisaw: um, that sentence made no sense, sorry [04:07] Pooky: why...? [04:07] rxs: okay, no problem.. thanks for everything :) [04:07] Dracie_, yeah, I've done that with windows, what's the ubuntu way? [04:07] raylu: hrm? [04:07] Soopa: np [04:07] whats a DE? esktop Edition? [04:07] rsx, might you be able to help me as a consolation? :) [04:07] raylu, eeebuntu (with gnome) installed fine [04:08] Pooky: why do you have a usb drive formated as HFS+? [04:08] Toadlips: go ahead [04:08] Baz_, desktop environment...gnome or kde [04:08] My installation went OK, but the screen freezes after a few seconds with some random garbage on the screen [04:08] Dracie_: Probably not it just took way too much time to get Ubuntu isntalled on this machine due to the video card (driver) issues. Dont think I want to relive that again. For example: [04:08] raylu: because I primarily have macs, with a small handful of linux boxes, for things like file sharing and such [04:08] I'm running SLI, so I assume that's part of it...I just don't know how to download drivers when the install won't give me enough time! [04:09] Unless you think it might be something else! [04:09] Toadlips: okay .. so you have installed the os and you are start the machine as usual .. yes ? and what is the os u have installed ? [04:09] "anyone on the forum have anything good to say about via chrome9 hc igp driver and Ubuntu?" [04:09] chrisaw: ah... so whats not a DE and not command line? [04:09] Yep, Ubuntu 8.10, and I can always log in just fine. [04:09] marabout, oh... the worst video driver issue i had was gentoo live 2008.1 set my X with radeon drivers which doesn't work with my card [04:09] I can also move the mouse, but CTRL-ALT-BS no workie... [04:09] how many of you do support on the forums too? [04:09] so X wouldn't start unelss i changed it to vesa [04:10] cowbud: edit what? [04:10] Pooky: according to http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-hfsplus, this project has been dead since 2003 [04:10] Baz_, generally known as a "window manager"...fluxbox, wmii, dwm, ratpoison. [04:10] Pooky: and i believe it's a read-only deal [04:10] Pooky: http://www.ardistech.com/hfsplus/ is beta but supports non-journaled writes [04:10] i think you can read write to hfs [04:10] oh [04:10] Toadlips: so you can logon and things work, okay .. are using Nvidia drivers ? [04:10] 2x 7800GTs...some others seemed to have some driver issues with the same setup, but I can't even download the drivers to try my luck... [04:11] No, I'm using whatever the OS originally came with.... [04:11] qqx write-catalog.c at the line that is reported in the error [04:11] raylu: oooooh, I bet someone turnedon journaling [04:11] Pooky: wait, ew. they both named their drivers "hfsplus." that's annoying [04:11] Baz_: xfce is good too [04:11] Well, this is great. [04:11] Pooky: no, you should be able to mount a journaled filesystem without journaling support [04:11] Wingard, whats great [04:11] cowbud i have no idea what you're talking about :( [04:11] Now I'm stuck on 800x600, xrandr won't read xorg.conf's Modes line, and my Windows XP disk doesn't want to work. [04:11] Toadlips: can you see if the system suggests any closed source NVIDIA drivers as part of the restricted manager ? [04:11] Dracie_: no such luck here with vesa or openchrome. Had to do a text based install with Hardy alternate CD then do update via terminal/console all the while my by hands were being held these great chaps on the forum... [04:11] Ubuntu has to be the worst distro yet. [04:12] rxs: xfce is considered a DE or WM [04:12] <[2]Blue> Back with the drivers issue : upon logging out, I got a "low graphics" interface that wanted me to choose my screen from a list, as well as a driver for the graphics card (did I mess up the xorg.conf, or is that normal?) I then logged in again, this time it was not slow and buggy as it was before (great!) but the resolution was at 800x600 and I couldn't get it higher. After a full reboot, the resolution is normal again, direct renderi [04:12] chrisaw: still waiting on you to finish explaining [04:12] *by these great chaps [04:12] It did recommend that on my initial boot, but since then I cannot download anything -- the system freezes first :( [04:12] Wingard: please wait .. dont bad mouth [04:12] Wingard: eh, imho, it's not the best for pretty much anything, but it's up there. certainly not on the low end of the list anyway [04:12] rxs, I was just going to add him to my ignore list :p [04:12] qqx: then you probably shouldn't be doing what you are doing there [04:12] Wingard: it has a package manager that works at least. [04:12] I never actually had the chance to download the drivers before it all crapped out on me... [04:13] hmm well with debian etch i installed gnome on my imac g3 just fine [04:13] so i dunno [04:13] Baz_ xfce - DE , xfwm - wm [04:13] cowbud i want to configure BlueZ and this is a prerequisite [04:13] karlp: For me, it's the lowest, considering in it, xrandr can't manage to read xorg.conf. And most distros have a package manager that works. [04:13] cwillu: go ahead... :) [04:13] Pooky: try mounting it as "hfs" instead of "hfsplus" [04:13] the thing with debian is its actually supporting officially Powerpc so you can except better a better install [04:13] raylu, sorry. basically I know I can get a comfortable install going on just 2 GB, but I need to do a minimal install, and from there add fluxbox or LXDE...and I'm thinking about 1, 1.5 GB used then. [04:14] Wingard, xorg doesn't use modelines anymore, if you have an old xorg.conf file (pre xrandr1.2) you'll need to rework it. Far simpler than it used to be though [04:14] qqx: it seems more like you want to install it from source which is a bit different [04:14] Rsx, do you think I need the official NVIDIA drivers? If so, how can I patch them in when I can't use the gui? [04:14] chrisaw, do a compressed /usr filesystem [04:14] cowbud just pm me [04:14] you'll save so much space [04:14] cwillu,[2]Blue: if [2]Blue had correctly followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver , he shouldnt have issues [04:14] Dracie_: Linux is still a new world for me so I want to tread slowly. My intention is to get my children used to using Ubuntu/Edubuntu as well the Mac & PC so I'm concentrating on Ubuntu for now. [04:14] raylu: it tells me it's the wrong fs type [04:15] cwillu: I tried both adding Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" to the end of the Display subsection in the Screen section and using a modeline. Neither worked. [04:15] Dracie_, yeah, but how to do so? [04:15] meh, this has been working for 3 months, and suddenly now it's borked :/ [04:15] marabout, good idea, is there a big difference with edubuntu than ubuntu? [04:15] chrisaw: i _think_ the alternate cd lets you install desktop edition without a DE [04:15] Wingard, pastebin your xorg.conf, tell us which card you're using, and what resolution you want [04:15] chrisaw, check out www.eeeuser.com - all the documentation you'll need [04:15] chrisaw: no idea if there's an eeebuntu alternate, though [04:15] where can i download the default GNOME theme? [04:16] Dracie_: do you know of any resources for mac users entering into the Linux/Ubuntu environment. It may be easier to get some work down by mimicing the OS X environment in the beginning [04:16] cwillu: This is the current broken xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102014/ I have an nVidia GeForce 6200 and I (rather obviously) want to run 1600x1200. [04:16] raylu, yeah, I figured I'd pop in the alternate CD now and do the array.org custom kernel later...but I'm not seeing any customization options, even on the expert install. Maybe I should try the netinstall? [04:16] cwillu; can you help with my xorg.conf config? [04:16] Wingard, running nvidia's 177 driver? [04:17] Cwillu: Yes. [04:17] Anyone? [04:17] could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/ [04:17] could anyone help me solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/ [04:17] ask again I don't think we saw it [04:17] Dracie_: not to sure as I erased it off the computer when I first got it but it seems like a wonderful resource for learning and my children are all doing on line school (k12.com) [04:17] There are a lot of "buffer io" errors on bootup, but they flash by so fast I can't really tell what they are during the text mode bootup [04:17] or solved it for that matter [04:17] chrisaw: maybe... no experience with eeebuntu here, though [04:18] Wingard, http://pastebin.com/f11d379af is my xorg.conf with an nvidia, although you can drop the twinview line obviously [04:18] raylu, ok, thanks for the help anyway :) [04:18] marabout, there is a project to make a linux machine look like a mac graphically [04:18] oh man, I finally got ubunut all loaded and then I ran the updates and when I rebooted all it comes up with is GRUB, can someone tell me what that is? [04:18] Wingard, stick that one in, and then run nvidia-settings [04:18] raylu, I',m in the standard alternate install now, not the eeebuntu one [04:18] chrisaw: oh [04:18] wfire: do you see any lines in grup ? i mean kernels as boot options ? [04:18] marabout, i would do a dual boot ubuntu and mac os x system [04:19] if i just install programs is there a reason to include the (Source Code) repos? [04:19] no it just says GRUB [04:19] Dracie_: I hate running ubuntu on a mac [04:19] and repeats it if I let it sit [04:19] should I just reinstall [04:19] Baz_, not really, it won't break anything [04:19] wfire: try a cntr-c then ... [04:19] ok [04:19] Dracie_: meaning install OS X (10.5) onto this laptop (everex stepnote NC1502)? [04:19] Pooky: Why is that? What happens? [04:20] Wingard, once you have nvidia-settings open, go to "X Server Display Configuration", and tweak it from there [04:20] Pooky: woah. http://linux.die.net/man/1/hfs [04:20] Wingard, nvidia's driver doesn't support xrandr 1.2 extensions, but uses its own lines that are similar. nvidia-settings will get you started (in fact, running it as part of your session will restore the settings even without an xorg.conf file, as long as the nvidia driver itself is being used) [04:21] Amazing how everyone else recieves support. :( [04:21] weird I shut it off to take out cd, now it works fine [04:21] <[2]Blue> I followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver, it seems to work fairly well (and the direct rendering works) but it doesn't seem like it's the same driver as before since "fancier" things ask me to update the driver to xorg-driver-fglrx where as before it didn't. [04:21] cwillu: nvidia-settings doesn't like to work for me, all it allows me to change is Panning, which doesn't really do much other than make things not work. [04:21] DaveDixonll: whats up ? [04:21] marabout: for me, it's just support for all the weird mac hardware. smc controls and such were bonked the last time I tried it, so I could either be carrying a jet engine or a lap cooker. [04:21] DaveDixonII: try the gnome irc channel [04:21] The channel is? [04:22] raylu: interesting, I'll check it out [04:22] how dangerous is it to enable intrepid-backports updates [04:22] [2]Blue: okay .. can you pastebin glxinfo | grep render ? [04:22] rxs, is there any way that I can force the official nvidia drivers on an initial installation? === osxdude|laptop is now known as osxdude|l [04:22] rxs: on boot up should one see the command or go immediately to a desktop (gui)? as I get a command line interface on mine (hardy) [04:22] cwillu: Aaand...What do you know, it doesn't work. I click Detect Displays and it doesn't do anything, and due to the whole 800x600 things I can't get at any buttons. [04:23] <[2]Blue> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d481e02aa [04:23] Toadlips: give me a sec ... can you tell me where you are now ? do you have a gui to work with ? [04:23] marabout, look at the private chat i initiated [04:23] <[2]Blue> Now it says "yes" for direct rendering === onats1 is now known as onats [04:23] Pooky: I see [04:23] No gui -- freezes before I can do anything after logging in [04:23] Dracie_: will do [04:23] marabout: okat .. so ur struck on a commandline ? [04:23] DaveDixonII, if you have gnome-themes installed you have the official gnome themes [04:24] nickrud: sudo apt-get install gnome-themes [04:24] ? [04:24] Wingard, oh, okay. You're running under vesa right now [04:24] [2]Blue:please write my id and a : before you type text to me .. I will miss it else [04:24] DaveDixonII, yes. That gives you clearlooks, glider, crux, mist & industrial [04:24] winferno_, pastebin /var/log/xorg.0.log [04:24] rxs: No gui - recovery console OK [04:24] <[2]Blue> Oops, ok ! :) [04:24] cwillu: Vesa? [04:25] Wingard, pastebin /var/log/xorg.0.log (winferno_, sorry) [04:25] Wingard, yes, failsafe mode [04:25] rxs: no i boots up to command line then I think "quick splash" its called? asks for my password (encrypted HD) then give me the (gui) log in screen. I'm new so I am not sure what to expect exactly [04:25] [2]Blue: okay ..it seems fine .. u shld be able to run even compiz or compositing in xfce this way [04:25] **it [04:26] nickrud: gnome-themes is already the newest version. :( [04:26] cwillu: cat: /var/log/xorg.0.log: No such file or directory [04:26] Wingard, Xorg.0.log [04:26] Toadlips: nvidia support right ? [04:26] what is the command to delete my ip table? [04:27] DaveDixonII: http://www.gnome.org/support/ [04:27] rxs: nvidia 7800GTs, yep. Get garbage on screen. Can't do anything because the screen freezes. Mouse still moves though! [04:27] Welcome b0xxy! You have achieved a new peak of 1283 users for #ubuntu!

You have achieved a new peak of 1284 users for #ubuntu! [04:28] Welcome ce_ucul! You have achieved a new peak of 1285 users for #ubuntu! [04:28] woohoo go me! [04:28] ahem [04:28] could anyone solve this error please?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102004/ [04:28] rxs, 177, although I'm actually using 180 out of a ppa to get around a window decoration distortion bug [04:29] rxs: I think my main problem is that when I'm in recovery mode, Eth0 doesn't work... [04:29] tyta_linux: iptables -F [04:29] Wingard, one sec, people bugging me [04:29] hi [04:29] thanks raylu [04:29] sudo? [04:29] when i do dpkg -l mysql it does not list [04:29] tyta_linux: of course. also, "man iptables" should help [04:29] !hello | kaushal [04:29] kaushal: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:29] is there a way i can find out [04:29] rxs: Is there a command to initialize eth0? I tried ifconfig up [04:29] kaushal, try dpkg -l '*mysql*' [04:29] Wingard, are you around in a couple hours? [04:29] question: i have a graphics card that I want to shutdown whenever it gets over a critical temperature. problem is, it's whenever I'm playing a game that prevents gksudo from taking over. is there a way to force shutdown I don't know about that doesn't require su or sudo? [04:29] my iptables keep me from accessing gmail [04:30] ok [04:30] qqx: why are you compiling gettext? [04:30] cwillu: Probably not, by then I'll probably have thrown this computer out of the window. [04:30] the command i was trying was gksudo "shutdown -h now" [04:30] This is the theme i want: http://live.gnome.org/Nibbles?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=nibbles.png [04:30] aprilhare: sudo should be sufficient for shutdown [04:30] <[2]Blue> rxs : well, yes, it runs fast, but I think it's still missing something since if I choose "Normal" from the "visual effects" tab of the "Appearance Preferences" it won't do it, but instead says I need to update the driver to an accelerated ATI one (more precisely "xorg-driver-fglrx"), the exact driver that caused all the trouble. Where as before I installed that driver (and messed everything up) I could choose the "Normal" or even [04:30] the blue border, thats it [04:30] jrib because thats what the stupid instructions tell me to do [04:30] raylu, problem is i can't enter the password :) [04:30] Welcome kronen!

[04:31] qqx: what stupid instructions? gettext is in the repositories [04:31] kaushal, are you running a bot? [04:31] Dexi: unrar [04:31] i'll try that raylu thanks [04:31] that easy? [04:31] nickrud, what does un means [04:31] wow i feel dumb [04:31] jrib why didnt you tell me that [04:31] un mysql-server-4.1 (no description available) [04:32] rxs: I can't get into the Gnome failsafe mode... [04:32] kaushal, no action pending, not installed [04:32] Could someone scroll up and find the last error I pasted> [04:32] Toadlips: yes ; sudo dhclient eth0 [04:32] kaushal, the text above provides the key [04:32] Booted into Windows and now I forget what went wrong. [04:32] rxs: Thanks!!! I'll try it!!! [04:32] [2]Blue : brb [04:33] kaushal, the rest means there's no installation candidate; [04:33] Wingard, okay, nvidia's driver is doing something stupid (presuming it worked before). nvidia-settings, under resolution, (probably set to auto), if you click that, does it list a couple hundred different resoltuions? [04:33] nickrud, thanks [04:33] nickrud: how can I confirm that my machine is visible on my home network? [04:33] kaushal, was that your bot [04:33] nickrud, is there a documentation on this [04:33] <[2]Blue> rxs : ok, thanks !! :) [04:33] Logomachist: 10:06:03 Logomachist> Thanks Dracie. Now it says "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." [04:33] kaushal, the text just above the un (the lines pointing to each letter) is the documentation [04:34] Logomachist: sounds like you provided totally wrong arguments to grub-install [04:34] ca parle français ici.?

[04:34] rxs, Toadlips that's nvidia-glx-177 [04:35] rxs: I'm gonna try that! [04:35] Wingard, I was wrong on that, it is running on nvidia (not vesa), but nvidia's driver isn't detecting things. I'm currently reading documentation [04:35] Hello. What would be the most popular application available in the Ubuntu repositories for editing AVI (XVID) video? I want to extract a few clips from some AVIs. [04:35] hello everyone. can anyone point me towards a resource to get a PCI-E ATi Radeon HD2600XT working? [04:35] nickrud: Thanks, I'll make that change! [04:35] Wingard, it didn't list anything higher than 1024x768 though? [04:35] Cwillu: Nope. [04:35] Toadtips: yes try sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-177 [04:35] nickrud: oh well I'mnot having probs with it I just thought you might now a command to do it so I could check it status [04:35] FrozenFire: video editing isn't exactly a popular or painless activity. google showed me a few [04:36] marabout: ping it from other machines? [04:36] !wireless > adam7 [04:36] adam7, please see my private message [04:37] adam7: you can just /msg the bot [04:37] raylu: tried that and only got its network address "192......" my other machines are not seeing it though... [04:37] [2]Blue: paste here cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep composite [04:37] what is a transitional package? [04:38] when i do "ls -l" I know that "d" means directory but what is "b"???? [04:38] peepsalot: When a package changes names between releases, the next release will have a package (transitional package) with the old name [04:38] !nvidia [04:38] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:38] peepsalot: so people with the old package name (gaim) upgrade to the new gaim (transitional) which depends on pidgin, so they now have pidgin [04:39] peepsalot, that transitional package will depend upon the new package, making sure the new one gets installed when upgrading to the new release [04:39] rxs: I'm downloading that driver even as we speak! [04:39] Toadlips: you will have to restart your machine once the installation completes [04:39] Wingard, Option "ConnectedMonitor" "string" [04:39] cwillu: What should the string be? [04:39] Wingard, thinking out loud [04:40] cwillu: What [04:40] how do I swtich from compiz to metacity in 8.10? [04:40] Option "UseEdidFreqs" "No" [04:40] epictetus, alt-f2 metacity --replace should do it [04:40] Wingard, use that, otherwise edid overrides what you put in the xorg.conf file [04:40] Hi, I am trying to set up a ppp dialer in 8.10 - does the user need to be added to any groups to allow access to the modem? Right now, the gnome-ppp (wvdial) just hangs. [04:40] cwillu: What section should I add it into? [04:40] Wingard, device section I think [04:40] Man I always have trouble setting up SCIM on Ubuntu [04:41] nickrud: is that permanent? [04:41] are there any monitors that are *not* compatible with linux/ubuntu? [04:41] shogbin: you can find out by running it as root [04:41] Wingard, there's also Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes" [04:41] raylu: I have not set up access or unlocking of root account yet [04:41] cwillu: Restarting X and seeing what happens. [04:41] epictetus, yes, until you do alt-f2 compiz --replace [04:41] shogbin: i think its dialout [04:41] BeepII, just about any VGA monitor should be... [04:42] nickrud: i think compiz starts up for him because he turned on desktop effects... [04:42] BeepII, you may have issues with monitors that has special interfaces [04:42] shogbin: so gksu... [04:42] IMO compiz =< metacity [04:42] http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4349460&csid=ITD&body=REVIEWS#tabs [04:42] metacity has its own compositor [04:42] Does that qualify as special interfaces? [04:42] raylu, yes. This is just another method of switching to none; faster [04:42] just need to know how to start it [04:42] nickrud: ? [04:42] raylu, you're wrong poweroff requires root [04:42] aprilhare: oh :( [04:43] <[2]Blue> rxs : "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep composite" displays nothing [04:43] raylu, system->prefs->appearances effects tab. [04:43] Beepll: shld work [04:43] hey, we use ubuntu for all the machines in our office, and we are about to get a server. Should i just setup the server the same way i setup the office machines? [04:43] thanks dude [04:43] sweet. thanks [04:43] cwillu: Still in 1024x768 and unable to go higher. [04:43] [2]Blue : can you pastebin cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:44] Wingard, go into a terminal and do xrandr and tell me if it has any higher rez's listed [04:44] Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "boolean" [04:44] Forces the initialization of the X server with the exact timings specified [04:44] in the ModeLine. Default: false (for DVI devices, the X server initializes [04:44] with the closest mode in the EDID list).

[04:45] Wingard, Wingard, zless /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-177/README.txt.gz might give you some clues [04:45] cwillu, probably your good twin :) [04:45] aprilhare: /etc/shutdown.allow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=134968 [04:45] anyone can offer some assistance with an ATi Radeon HD2600XT?

I am unable to get the ati drivers working. any guides that you know of online that will get me hardware acceleration and DVI output?

I can help [04:53] raylu: im registered though [04:53] rxs: The weirdest thing is that in the gnome bluetooth properties, under services: audio, there is no Add button; only remove. Both buttons exist under the input service though. [04:53] eseven73: then you're not identified === gustavo is now known as pelao91 [04:53] rxs: X never seemed to start at all.

[04:56] Meshezabeel, all Linux binaries are elf. [04:56] rxs: also, knowing how to get AVRCP set up would be nice. [04:56] Wingard, #nvidia might be able to help more, there'll be something in that file I pointed you at, but I don't know the exact options you need.

[04:57] Logomachist: calling your drive "C" is a mistake :P [04:57] rxs: 'k, and then? [04:57] Toadtips: can you just for kicks type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:58] Meshezabeel, what file are you trying to run? Where did you get it? [04:58] Touche [04:58] tonyyarusso: do you see ur BT headset listed ? [04:58] i wonder, are there french and italian moderators too in those channels [04:58] Logomachist: how many hard drives do you have? not partitions. "sudo fdisk -l" [04:58] rxs: yeah, for this one. (some other devices don't work there, but we'll deal with thsi for now) [04:59] 2 drives. One for data the other for programs. [04:59] Meshezabeel, you tried running it from the command line? Were you in the same directory as the file? [04:59] Logomachist: ok, what are their device names? fdisk will still help you here [04:59] justin_ yes [04:59] rxs: It just says "Starting GNOME Display Manager..." [04:59] raylu: after the first time it happened I haven't gone back to try it. I have the via chrome9 hc igp driver so i am hesitant about doing anything that will alter the screen/display settings if you know what I mean... [04:59] how can i change the sounds in ubuntu hardy [04:59] tonyyarusso: fair enuf.. now .. can you copy the 6 byte mac address and type sudo hidd -c macaddress [05:00] justin_ it is opensong from: http://opensong.org/d/downloads [05:00] Toadlips: type control-c and kill that if it continues to hang [05:00] I'd have to boot up into Linux to run fdisk, but by memory the ext3 partition is "sdc4" [05:00] anyone? [05:00] pg_ques: how did you install pgsql? [05:00] apt-get [05:00] what's the equivalent for alt+ctl+del in ubuntu and kill a program [05:00] rxs: It actually didn't hang...it went back to the command prompt! [05:00] pg_ques: which package? i'd consider reinstalling it [05:01] packages postgresql postgresql-8.3 [05:01] hello, I was using gparted to move a partition and lost power. Now the drive shows errors under GParted, and I don't know what to do to recover my data [05:01] I tried [05:01] idea4gud: ctrl+esc, top, ps -e, pgrep, kill, killall [05:01] raylu: That pastebinit is pretty cool.

I'm gonna troubleshoot nvidia drivers now! ;) [05:02] Toadlips: np ...best wishes [05:02] how do you reinstall pacages? [05:02] Raylu- do you want me to switch to Linux? [05:02] pacages* [05:02] pg_ques: oh, no idea then. haven't used pgsql much [05:02] packages** [05:03] Meshezabeel, maybe it should still work. what does: "ls -la opensong" return [05:03] Logomachist: oh... [05:03] raylu: how do I replace gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver and how will i know if i should? [05:03] raylu, I'd like to copy the output of a program and paste it somewhere, but it's too unwieldy to copy the output from the terminal. [05:03] Saiki: I used apt-get purge and then apt-get install [05:03] Logomachist: you can't install grub from windows anyway... [05:03] tonyyarusso: how are you doing ? any progress.. i want to go offline shortly [05:03] the issue was it was a usb drive, so it lost power yet the computer (laptop) did not. [05:03] I don't want to purge them [05:03] k [05:03] raylu: same thing happened with mysql [05:03] brb [05:03] Logomachist: and sdc4 implies you have an sda and sdb. perhaps you're forgetting about a usb drive or something? [05:03] justin_ -rwxr-xr-x [05:03] rxs: yeah - just keep giving steps and I'll let you know if they don't work [05:03] raylu: for mysql I installed mysql-server and mysql-client [05:03] OmnipotentEntity: you can redirect the output of a program to many places. again, can you be more specific about where you're pasting it?

[05:04] marabout: you'd have to poke the screensaver changer again. and you can just install xscreensaver [05:04] OmnipotentEntity: probably. one sec === Ward1983 is now known as Ward1983sNewNick [05:05] tonyyarusso: I need feedback ... thats when I can help you ... anyway .. after that ... your gnome bt applet has to ask for password ... and u need to follow steps here after that http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices, the initial two steps are to password pair the headset with ur system .. the passcode is normally 1234 or 0000 for Jabra === Ward1983sNewNick is now known as Ward1983 [05:05] <[2]Blue> rxs : yes, thanks a lot for the help ! [05:05] OmnipotentEntity: i think you can use "program | xsel --clipboard" [05:05] justin_ it simply says: "no such file or directory" [05:06] raylu: as in "apt-get install xscreensaver" ? [05:06] marabout: yes. apt-cache search xscreensaver first, because there are a few other packages with extra tasty screensavers [05:06] [2]Blue: good luck ... [05:06] Meshezabeel, it it says that then it's not finding the file [05:06] marabout: er, make that tasty extra screensavers [05:06] justin_, I just installed ia32-libs to see if that would help, it seems to now detect the program, but I get errors saying: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 [05:06] raylu, thanks a million. :) [05:07] tonyyarusso: signing off for the day .. goodluck [05:07] OmnipotentEntity: learned something new myself :D [05:07] rxs: 'k, thanks [05:07] raylu: extra tasty sounded better :) [05:07] marabout: heh [05:09] hi, I've just intalled realplayer and wanted to listen to the bbc.co.uk radio, program (even though I had all restricted codecs it didn't play) but still I got a message saying I need to instal realplayer (which's already installed) Any ideas or suggestions¿ [05:09] raylu: hmm typed in "apt-cache search xscreensaver" but not response from terminal... [05:09] justin_ it can now find the file, but these are the errors I now get: http://pastebin.ca/1303256 [05:09] jesus_: could i get a link to the program? [05:09] real player¿ [05:09] yeah [05:10] marabout: o.0. try "aptitude search xscreensaver" [05:10] jesus_: er, the radio program [05:10] http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ [05:10] there you are [05:10] jesus_: ewwwwww [05:10] jesus_: here i was expecting an internet radio stream [05:11] raylu: "o.0" ? [05:11] Meshezabeel, it seam like the file was linked to 32bit libraries and you ave a 64 bit system [05:11] i dont have access, if I had I would've copied and pasted to the real player gui [05:11] marabout: it's a face :P [05:11] how do you reinstall packages, without purging? [05:11] jesus_: try http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ram/r3g2.ram in your media player [05:12] justin_ so does that mean I'm hooped? [05:12] Saiki: remove, install? [05:12] Saiki: sudo apt-get install --reinstall [05:12] how do I restart sound? [05:12] yeah, it works.. [05:12] tritium: I don't know the package names though [05:12] Saiki: what is it you want to reinstall? [05:12] what I dont understand it's how it doesnt work directly from the browser.... [05:12] Does anyone here know how to get sound to work under Enemy Territory? [05:12] Saiki: shouldn't that have been your first question, then? [05:13] tritium: spanish language support in Xubuntu hardy [05:13] * EDinNY just wants to reststart sound without rebooting [05:13] jesus_: what would you expect from a site that requires real player? [05:13] what is sound daemon called? [05:13] EDinNY: pulse-audio [05:13] raylu... yeah that's right... [05:13] raylu: am I bit of a newbie. anyway got some info spit at me regarding (gl mesa) screen hacks for xscreensaver...? [05:13] a pity the bbc got the best classical music ever [05:13] Meshezabeel, it might be difficult. I haven't had much experiece with 64bit systems. you'll some how need to install the 32bit lib files [05:14] marabout: video card? [05:14] aight mates, how can I get hibernate working on this bloody machine [05:14] tnx "sudo ./pulseaudio restart" [05:14] All right, I was able to use wvdial to start a ppp connection to a dial-up provider. I needed to tell wvdial to use the local conf file and not read the /etc/wvdial.conf file.

[06:05] justin_, thanks ... i am trying with it [06:05] raylu: ok will try it [06:05] rxs - I assume pulse audio works. I mean, I never did anything to change my sound settings. [06:05] qqx: again, it's in the repositories. aptitude search bluez [06:06] Roasted: a very bad assumption [06:06] raylu, again the BlueZ firmware is not in the repositories [06:06] rxs - the only thing I did was I have to select my PCI sound card to be used in Ubuntu, because I leave my onboard card activated since Vista lovlingly doesnt support my PCI sound card. So I essentially use onboard for Vista, PCI sound card for Ubuntu. Only trick is I need to select it when I boot up. [06:06] Soorlag: unfortunately i cant be really helpful. i've played around with linux sound, sound daemons, also, oss a lot but never discovered a path to travel [06:06] Roasted: PA has been a bit odd in 8.10 [06:06] qqx: yes it is [06:06] raylu - then how do I figure out if pulse audio works? I mean, why is that a bad assumption? My sound worked. It was fine. I had no problems. SOMETHING obviously worked. [06:06] I just don't understand why I had to change my output engine in Amarok just now. [06:06] Roasted: oh. it used to work :P [06:07] Soorlag: it worked out for me but still is a ridicule. imho sound support for linux is an inside job [06:07] Roasted: i said it's a bad assumption because it doesn't work out of the box for some people [06:07] Roasted: paste output for terminal: asoundconf list [06:07] Hello friends. [06:07] raylu - all of my sound settings (except capture) are auto detect, soooo... [06:07] raylu: Looking at the webpage, I think I should be typing: "cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /media/sdc4/boot/grub ". Is that correct? [06:07] I have a quick question about installing Ubuntu. [06:07] tenX but defining standard input shouldn be that difficult (i hope) [06:07] hi [06:07] Logomachist: i think so. never done it myself :P [06:07] raylu what is it in medibuntu or something? [06:07] CMI8768 and Intel [06:07] Intel is onboard, CMI8768 is my PCI Sound card [06:07] !info bluez [06:07] bluez (source: bluez): Bluetooth tools and daemons. In component main, is optional. Version 4.12-0ubuntu5 (intrepid), package size 362 kB, installed size 1232 kB [06:07] Is it possible to install it over the top of an existing Linux installation while it's running? [06:08] no [06:08] qqx: so... no. it's in main [06:08] Gotta boot up the LiveCD? [06:08] yes [06:08] Yes to me? [06:08] you can upgrade it while its running, but not do a fresh install [06:08] bc - yes [06:08] Soorlag: sorry - i had a shitty soundcard and that might have been the matter - but i always ran into trouble exactly with input [06:08] ah, ok. [06:08] bc_: ubuntu requires a format of / [06:08] bc_: i suppose it may be possibly possible with gentoo... [06:08] I'm trying to get off RHEL 5 because I'm sick of rpms and dependency hell. [06:08] tenX: is there some obvious things i can look for in the logs? [06:08] How do I see what my internal IP address is in ubuntu? [06:08] raylu: That gives me " cannot create regular file `/media/sdc4/boot/grub/xfs_stage1_5': Permission denied" [06:09] Soorlag: i dont understand a lot about sound devices and standards [06:09] I don't mind formatting / [06:09] Baz_: ifconfig? [06:09] I mean, I'm going to hose the whole box. [06:09] bc_: you might be more comfortable with fedora, then [06:09] Logomachist: of course. sudo [06:09] I try to format as much as possible... keep things clean [06:09] No no, I'm going to be putting my RHEL stuff in a VM. [06:09] bc_: why..? [06:09] Baz_: internal meaning? [06:09] raylu what packages are it [06:09] When I select my sound inputs to be pulseaudio sound server and hit test, I hear sound. but amarok set to pulseaudio does not play sound. [06:09] Ok that seems to have worked. [06:09] qqx: it = ?

[06:10] anyone? i need to have my microphone as standard input Device.. how do i define this? cant find anything on the net. [06:10] the firmware [06:10] It's a headless system is why. [06:10] And hooking up a monitor would be a pain. [06:10] Baz_: sry i read the wrong line! [06:10] bc_: installing on a headless system is generally not recommended for any distro [06:11] I've got NoMachine NX setup on the redhat box already, and I'm just wanting to install over top of that. [06:11] I have about 8 Window selectors on my lower panel (Ubuntu with Gnome desktop). Anyone know How to remove them please? [06:11] I know with Gentoo you can do that. [06:11] raylu what packages are the FIRMWARE [06:11] ScottG489: ifconfig if its not yet answered [06:11] Soooo is it normal I have to use Alsa output engine on Amarok?? ... [06:11] tenX: heh [06:12] I have a problem in communication, but wired to void [06:12] Baz_: you on an apache issue or do i mix up things? [06:12] bc_: Why are you interested in doing it while its running? [06:12] Because I don't want to have to hook up a monitor to the thing. [06:12] tenX: i'm the guy whose computer randomly freezes after a random amount of use :) [06:12] Baz_: sorry :) [06:12] Flannel: in other words, convenience.

O.o that cant be! ;) [06:14] I'm thinking I could probably do something similar to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix [06:14] Hey, I have a really newbie question, what exactly is a nameserver? I know what it's function is, but is it like BIND9 or just a dns server? [06:14] The next command to grub results in error "Error 22: No such partition" [06:15] raylu: The next command to grub results in error "Error 22: No such partition" [06:15] And if that's the case, when setting up domains on my webserver, would I be pointing the nameserver to localhost? [06:15] Voziv: dns server resolves ips to dns [06:15] Voziv: and the other way round [06:15] Logomachist: er, what would that be? [06:15] هل يوجد احد ؟ [06:15] after installing some Intrepid updates and rebooting, I'm getting a boatload of errors while booting that say "unable to enumerate usb device"... can anyone tell me what gives...? [06:15] raylu: "grub> root (hd0,0) " [06:15] tenX::: What would be the other way around? [06:15] !english | ksa-24 [06:15] ksa-24: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [06:15] ksa-24: is #ubuntu-arabic not helping? [06:16] Soooo is it normal I have to use Alsa output engine on Amarok?? ... [06:16] Voziv: dns being a domain like example.com - human readable [06:16] No one [06:16] Roasted: yes its normal to have alsa ... I use alsa and works fine and use asoundconf / asountconf-gtk to switch between my USB based card and onboard card [06:16] Voziv: dns to ip... [06:16] Voziv: the other way, not as common, to tell what dns name a certain ip stands for [06:16] rxs - I just dont see why I was autodetect before and it worked and now I NEED alsa to work... [06:17] saler: so .. u still have issues [06:17] Logomachist: in your case, it'd be root (hd2,3) [06:17] raylu: Ah ok [06:17] rxs.same [06:17] saler: can you please paste bin your error ? [06:17] rxs,k [06:17] tenX::: Sorry I think I typed that wrong, seting up the domain, I'm using ISPConfig, a variation of cpanel, and to add a dns entry, it's asking for a nameserver for the domain. It's requesting for the Domain name, ip address, and then NS1 and NS2, and an email, so I'm trying to figure out what to put for NS1 and NS2 since this is my own server, I don't have dedicated nameservers [06:18] Roasted: pulse audio keeps me wondering at times [06:18] Voziv: i'd think you should use nameservers given by your provider? [06:18] rxs - I don't really understand the point of it. Everybody told me it's so you can run youtube/amarok (or whatever) at the same time. Yet, I never had ANY problems with Alsa at all. [06:19] then you have other people who swear by OSS which it sounds like theyre starting to go proprietary anyway... [06:19] tenX: his provider is himself...? [06:19] what is the lua equivalent of parseInt? such that parseInt("a 5") => 5? [06:19] raylu: I assume I need su privileges, right? Because when I don't have them it doesn't work. [06:19] Voziv: administering your domain/host, changes should appear there [06:19] proqesi: how does "a 5" -> 5? [06:19] proqesi: Try #lua [06:19] raylu: ? [06:19] Logomachist: to run grub? yes [06:19] oops [06:20] Hi everyone [06:20] Great. Now I'll reboot and see if it worked. [06:20] tenX: i get the feeling he's hosting himself on a second level domain [06:20] Wish me luck ^_^ [06:20] tenX::: I am my provider, which is why I'm wondering if the BIND9 server would be the appropriate choice, I don't have my own dedicated nameserver [06:20] raylu: sounded like a hosting issue to me [06:20] the local BIND9* [06:20] how can i commit my changes to the repository in svn ? i [06:20] huwenfeng: svn co [06:20] huwenfeng: svn commit -m "message" [06:20] Roasted: the pulse audio confusion is one reason why I have stayed away from latest greates ubuntu on my primary machine + also add the xorg issues... [06:20] I'm sorry. my client seems to have autojoined #ubuntu :( [06:20] OK, good [06:20] proqesi: No problem [06:21] Roasted: pulse audio in theory is a very interesting method with amoving buffer window kind if you will [06:21] what went wrong here anyone? http://paste.ubuntu.com/102043/ [06:21] rxs,new message after rebooting not in the sudoers file >> sudo apt-get install gnome , i will try to added to sudoers , [06:21] rxs - it sounds like pulse audio is for more top end stuff, but can also be used for everyday stuff for the typical user. Regardless, it's based on alsa from what I understand, and alsa is still easily usable and whatnot. [06:21] raylu: parseInt("a 5") => 5, because it knows the difference between a number and a char [06:21] Whenever I try to install or remove an app from the CL I get: Reading package lists . . . Done and then Segmentation faulty tree . . . 0% and that's it [06:22] saler: type 'groups' is admin listed?

I'm just not understanding the full mentality behind the "requirement" some people have for pulse audio. [06:22] proqesi: to mean, that's insane. that should throw an error [06:22] why? and how do i fix it? [06:23] mib_5860bsoq: why are you using budgetdedicated.com as a repository? [06:23] Voziv: in that case you'll have to define an * dns server. damn i am missing the word. [06:23] umm .. i dunno [06:23] Roasted: to me pulse audio was a drastic inclusion in unbuntu .. they should have waited .... [06:23] mib_5860bsoq: You don't have the GPG key for the wine repository. It's not the end of the world (except the packages that come from there won't be verified, and could potentially be tampered with). You need to addthe wine package key to your keyring. The winehq site should have instructions. [06:23] mib_5860bsoq: could you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list? [06:23] for the latest wine. [06:23] raylu: That's not necessary.

[06:24] * raylu sees [06:24] hmm [06:24] anyone know a good channel for audio/video support? [06:24] How do I run a ".x86" file? It's ./fubar.x86 in the command line, right? [06:24] so like configuring the nameservers on the server itself, so it can query an external NS? [06:24] rxs - but like I said, I just dont get how I was autodetect and BAM, now I need alsa. Unless I WAS alsa and it somehow reset itself to autodetect, which I cant see happening. Ah well. [06:24] saler: right, but do you see 'admin'? [06:24] Voziv: exactly [06:24] http://mibbit.com/pb/SwtumE [06:24] mib_5860bsoq: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb the second part (trusting the repository) will solve that issue [06:25] tenX::: Alright, I'll get right on it, thanks for putting up with me :) [06:25] FLannel,i found adm [06:25] im wireless to void [06:25] saler: are you able to gain admin preveliges ? [06:25] Voziv: no problem, wonder if that nonsense could be any help [06:25] saler: That's not the same. Is this the same user that you created during the install? [06:25] ok thx Flannel lemme give it ashot [06:26] tenX::: I'll let you know how I make out [06:26] Flannel , icreate "ad" [06:26] saler: Right, so this is a new user? [06:26] Flannel,ys [06:26] Voziv: as for my small setups with bind - i succeeded setting up bind for the systems to be defined but still defined a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf === leonut is now known as leonut2 [06:26] how do i check available wireless networks === leonut2 is now known as leonut [06:27] saler: Right, you'll need to log out, go to your old user, and do sudo adduser ad admin (where 'ad' is the username of your new user) [06:27] any ideas anyone? [06:27] FLannel,k [06:28] idea4gud, are you using gnome? [06:28] Voziv: through distribution given root domain servers, bind probably works its way [06:28] mrh apt-get or aptitude? [06:28] raylu: It worked! I have my first Linux distro up and running. [06:28] raylu: apt-get [06:28] dracie : yeah i am using network manager [06:28] Muchas gracias. You're amazing. [06:28] !yay | Logomachist [06:28] Logomachist: Glad you made it! :-) [06:28] if that what you refer to [06:28] mrh: why apt-get? [06:29] mrh: have you tried aptitude, then? [06:29] tenX::: alright, I'll keep that in mind, is it in resolv.conf or net? [06:29] Flannel: ok tt worked .. I got the key for budgetdedicated and installed it [06:29] Logomachist: what he said. [06:29] Flannel: thanks [06:29] tenX: all I know right now [06:29] what is the advantage of aptitude over apt-get? [06:29] raylu: no, I haven't [06:29] peepsalot: there is none [06:29] peepsalot: aptitude will give you a TUI if you run it with no arguments. So if you prefer a GUI and only have ssh, you can have one [06:29] anyone know a good vid converter for ubuntu? [06:29] Flannel: i thought aptitude kept track of automatically installed dependencies? [06:30] peepsalot, Flannel: also, don't forget about the super cow powers [06:30] :D [06:30] mrh: okay. back in the days i used apt-get. at one point one was told to use aptitude. presently apt-get seems to be more encouraged. for whatever reasons [06:30] raylu: apt does too now. [06:30] Flannel: oh. but apt-get lies about its super cow powers [06:30] Flannel: clearly a bug. [06:30] raylu: Clearly offtopic ;) [06:31] it's related :( [06:31] tenX: I see. Also, when I try to open synaptic through the GUI it opens up and crashes (shuts down) a second later [06:31] in between aptitude was said to resolve dependencies better [06:31] peepsalot:http://pthree.org/2007/08/12/aptitude-vs-apt-get/ [06:31] mrh: I dono but, From: http://www.deanlee.cn/linux/apt-get-segmentation-faulty-tree/ "rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin" [06:31] mrh: as for me i'd never use a GUI for that [06:31] asus [06:32] usr13: thanks, I am looking at that, I had tried google already but had not come across that [06:32] Flannel,fatal open /etc/postfix/main.cf no such file or directory [06:32] saler: Er...

[06:42] Eber, you need libcurl3-gnutls-dev [06:43] rxs hm.. thatb does not quite solve the problem [06:43] tenX: Sabayon is a gentoo derivative as u already know, and the pod is a thin version of sabayon which normally comes loaded with all the apps and about 12 gigs when expanded .. [06:43] nickrud: uhmm, right! i'll try that! [06:43] rxs its just less loud, but still not recording when muted [06:44] rxs: thx for that info, i didnt know. dont care too much about distro variations.

[06:44] nickrud: can i get libcurl4 ? i seems that it is the only one available...

I have libcurl3-gnutls installed (very vanilla installation) [06:44] everytime i end X11, it starts back up, how do i prevent it from doing so? [06:45] Flannel,!!!! [06:45] tenX: I like my distro thin ~ 3- 3.5 G max.. hence always go from the thinnest and build over ... so the pod when installed is about 2 G [06:45] ryanakca, thats kdm/gdm restarting X.. stop the kdm/gdm service [06:45] saler: what's with all of the blank lines? [06:45] Soorlag : so its not MM on any of them ... [06:45] Dr_willis: with the "ps" command?

[06:47] can anyone hepl me out installing adobe flash ? [06:47] saler: Er, ok. You created it during the install? What have you done since then? usermod? played with users and groups? what? [06:47] raylu: I installed that xscreensaver and now when I log in their is a dialog box asking me to enter a password for the "default keyring to unlock" what is that all about? [06:47] Eber, good :) [06:47] nickrud: now i'll try to compile php once more :D [06:47] rxs [06:47] Eber, why not just install php5 from the repos? [06:47] Soorlag: can you raise the volumes on the mic... one of them should feed the mic sound back to speakers and there is one that chooses between external and internal mic [06:48] nickrud: trying to set it up to lighttpd...

[06:48] rxs: hmm i cant tell. when i install a distro its mostly a server version without X and additional software. dunno how much it takes but for sure not a lot [06:48] saler: Did something go wrong during the install? did it finish without errors? [06:48] Eber, and why not use the lighttpd from the repos ? [06:48] ksa-24: what card do you have .. do you have any idea ? [06:48] rxs: (Admitted to the private) [06:49] Eber, ah, learning. never mind me then [06:49] FLannel ,installation complete without error [06:49] can anyone help me install adobe flash ?

[06:53] saler: Alright. You're going to have to reboot, and at the GRUB menu (right after the POST screen, you may have to hit escape to see it) choose a "recovery console" option. Once you've got that, you'll get a root prompt. Type 'adduser ad admin' and then type 'init 2' (both without quotes) and then log in again and try to sudo.

[06:54] nickrud, his comp just had ubuntu 8.10 installed on it hrs ago so we havent messed with much yet [06:55] edwardchuajh, compare the outputs of sudo apt-get update on both machines. [06:55] nickrud: however, the programs do turn up in the Add/Remove Software option instead [06:55] help recovering from xscreensaver install anyone? [06:55] viktorkAZ: the difference is that your schlaeng will grow more and more [06:55] viktorkAZ: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810overview that's a list of noteworthy changes. If you don't see anything you can't live without on there, you may consider sticking with Hardy due to the fact that it's an LTS. [06:55] tenX: Please stay on topic and family friendly.

[06:55] default keyring dialog box and connect to internet after xscreensaver install [06:56] hmm, openssl was just upgraded and now this thing wants to reboot, why? [06:56] LTS is long term service? [06:56] Flannel: i tried so hard [06:56] viktorkAZ: Long Term Support, yeah. Three years on the desktop instead of 18 months. And you can upgrade straight to the next LTS release [06:56] edwardchuajh, brb [06:56] Hey. I'm running dual monitors with two different screens on one video card. Is it possible to composite?

If admin doesn't exist, once again, are you *sure* that your install finished withut any errors? You installed from a CD that was verified to have no defects, etc?

[07:02] rxs: BUT when i type it in Quick Search, weird entries show up instead, as in differently from the results on my Ubuntu [07:02] saler: Is this an Ubuntu (or one of the officially supported derivatives) install?

If you want to try htop type in a terminal 'sudo apt-get install htop" [07:03] anom01y: in a terminal type lspci [07:03] edwardchuajh: np [07:03] ok im going nuts here..i have a logitec webcam. im following the dir's off of a page that is prety straightforward on how to do this.

Well, I can set you up with an admin group, and add you to it, and we can verify that your sudoers is correct. However, this seems to be a botched install, and there's no telling what other problems you may run into. [07:05] daredevilthere: excuse my bad puntuation that would be "sudo apt-get install htop" without quotes [07:05] Flannel,k [07:05] *punctuation [07:05] bingungaja: do u want to change just the password or both username and password ? [07:05] Paddy_EIRE: No problem [07:06] greetings, i want to uninstall Ubuntu's file-system but also to keep the home directory witch is on a separate partition , what should i do? [07:06] edwardchuajh: i am sorry ... I dont have a 8.10 right now to help u with that .... in 8.04 it acts differently is what I gather [07:06] bingungaja: you can change password, but not username. [07:06] christoz: is that home being shared with some other linux distro ? [07:06] bingungaja: use command usermod [07:06] christoz: dd if=/dev/zero the partitions to be deleted? [07:06] that would help [07:07] rxs: thanks alot anyway =) [07:07] yes it is shared with other distro [07:08] edwardchuajh: np [07:08] daredevilthere: thanks, bingungaja, i was wrong sorry. [07:08] christoz, what do you plan on doing with the ubuntu partition? [07:09] edwardchuajh, I read back, and see you weren't talking about the package lists per se. I ended up turning off tracker (the indexer) completely in 8.10 [07:09] can anyone help me figure where my HD space has gone. I'm missing about 15gb [07:09] LtL: No problem i m still learning all the commands i use [07:09] Hi Ubuntu. How can I change my mouse cursor? The options are not where they're supposed to be in the mouse menu. [07:09] marabout, is that about 5% of the total space? [07:09] marabout: man du [07:09] daredevilthere: i totally forgot usermod, doh [07:09] LtL: Oh [07:09] christoz: you can .. just install ubuntu / in a separate partition and .. mount the home as home while installing .. but do not mark as format the drive [07:10] nickrud, so will that help? [07:10] marabout: have you tried looking with gparted ? [07:10] nickrud: no more than that. Contents is using 3gb free space is 64gb HD total is 80 [07:10] edwardchuajh, by turning off the tracker, I meant disabling that quick search completely [07:10] what version of Xorg does 8.10 use? [07:10] How can I change my mouse cursor style? [07:11] rxs: both username and password [07:11] nickrud, i was womndering if it is possible to extend the home's partitions adding to it space from the unistalled partiotion where the ubuntu's filesystem is now exists [07:11] rxs: no I have not I need to check if it is installed on my system unless it is installed by default (in Hardy)...

[07:12] daredevilthere: let me try it first [07:12] christoz, sure, you can use gparted to delete the ubuntu partition, move the home partition, then extend the home to the rest of the space [07:12] nickrud, i tried reinstalling synaptic but the "quick search" is still broken [07:12] actually the weird things is that contents size keeps growing. It was 3gb now its at 4.1gb and I have no files whatsoever except the (hardy) install [07:12] LtL: what does that mean? [07:12] slim__: sorry wrong nick [07:13] daredevilthere: do i need to restart with this ? and this change both login and password ? [07:13] bingungaja: if u do not understand c its help usermod --help [07:13] edwardchuajh, two different things [07:13] Kunin: 8.10 uses X.Org X Server 1.5.2 [07:13] nickrud, oh? [07:13] bingungaja: no this changes just the login name than use passwd command to change the password [07:13] slim__: i answered you instead of someone else. [07:14] edwardchuajh, yes. The quick search bar is run by tracker, which is a disk indexing program. synaptic is a package manager [07:14] daredevilthere: ok i try it first, thx [07:14] edwardchuajh, anyway, system->prefs->sessions , untick tracker and tracker applet [07:14] Hey guys how to mount by invoking fstab so it mounts all partations again [07:15] daredevilthere, sudo mount -a ?

Just to be sure you know [07:18] ksa-24, arabic? [07:18] No one [07:18] marabout: gparted will let u see how ur disk is being used... the clean stuff was for cleaning extra archives as u said ur disk space increased with no additional software [07:18] Hey guys whn i mount my partations my hd click sounds how do i check whts wrong. i means in system logs [07:18] nickrud, how can i search for apps in synaptic then?

[07:34] tigercatjir: system-->prefercences-->network configuration [07:34] Kunin: intrepid provides four versions which combined support all nvidia cards [07:34] nickrud: yes its old i think :) [07:34] crdlb: All four of them repeatedly crashed xserver [07:34] _anu:whats with that ? [07:35] <_anu> rxs : gedit report locale warning [07:35] grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is there a way to force module-assistant to look in a different location for source code?

There used to be a 'Restricted something' in one of the System menues but its not there anymore [07:37] nickrud, Eber: ah. That'll teach me to ask annoying questions right after I join the channel. Good luck :) [07:37] _anu:okay .. after the warning , does it function properly ? [07:37] Eber: libmysqlclient15-dev ? [07:37] Eber: you might need libmysqlclient-dev [07:37] Eber, that technique will give you about 90% of any headers you need [07:37] rww: tks man :) [07:37] click170: glxinfo| grep render [07:37] <_anu> rxs : yes , but i want it don't warn that :) [07:38] <[Spooky]> Anyone knows how i can acess my block list in Emesene?

Im trying to help a friend of mine who is.... resistant to use the command line, despite my frustration [07:38] click170: ubuntu version ? [07:39] Kunin: in that case, you'll need to talk to nvidia about their buggy driver or continue using hardy :/ 169.12 is probably not compatible with intrepid's kernel and/or xorg [07:39] click170: its called Hardware Drivers in newer versions [07:39] I have an old Ubuntu 7.04 box. It seems the sources.list is out of date or bad: apt-get update gives 404s. Is there any way to fix this without needing a fresh reinstall? [07:39] hello. what are the permissions of /root/ in a typical installation? [07:39] intr80_, change everything to intrepid. [07:39] <_anu> rsx : how can i solve this error , i am perfectit :) [07:39] intr80_: 7.04 reached end of life a few months ago. the repos have been dismantled. please upgrade to a supported release. [07:39] <_anu> perfectionist :) [07:39] intr80_: Yeah, move the repos to http://old-archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and you'll be able to get feisty stuff. ONce you're up to date, you can follow the upgrade instructions at the link Ubottu gives [07:40] does AppArmor still come installed by default in Intrepid? [07:40] !upgrade | intr80_ [07:40] intr80_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:40] intr80_: dont do what MindVirus said though. you cant skip that far ahead. [07:40] MindVirus: That's a bad idea. [07:40] Why's that? [07:40] _anu: UTF8 ? [07:40] <_anu> rxs : yes it was [07:40] awesome [07:40] MindVirus: no skipping releases on upgrade *except* for jumping from one LTS release to another LTS release [07:40] thanks all [07:40] That's what I did last upgrade I didn't have the auto-upgrader. [07:40] I should be able to handle that [07:40] MindVirus: Because upgrades are only tested (and transitional/etc packages provided) one release at a time. [07:40] MindVirus, release -> release is supported, not release -> 3 releases later [07:40] Ahh, right. [07:40] Apologies. [07:40] _anu:http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16440/ , good info to start from [07:41] MindVirus, ah, good on you. Manual fixes are you :) [07:41] <_anu> rsx : i want to install Chinese input on English.UTF8 , it cause that problem [07:41] rxs: booted up. now it wont let me in... says password is incorrect. Funny as sometimes it will show the password i typed in in plain text. Weird! [07:42] _anu: do you have this installed language-support-input-zh [07:43] marabout: cn you login in through the pseudo terminal ? [07:43] <_anu> rxs : i asked Ubuntu-cn , but problem still remains [07:43] wow there's a lot of people in this room I've not been here before. I'm interested in getting some help [07:43] Here's the problem. I find files to be not visible in Nautilus, but visible from the terminal. Also quite a few of my files are have permissions screwed up. With '?' in permissions, users and groups. If you try and do anything with them you get a Stale file handler error. Also these are in my home folder, so I don't know how to umount that, because it seems there must always be a file open from that folder. Any ideas?

[07:45] rxs: this box started showing up after the xscreensaver install [07:45] marabout: pseudo terminal is a terminal that u can invoke by pressing cntr+alt+f[1-6] [07:46] I just want to understand the basics of it, can't get it to work when trying a simple example [07:46] <_anu> rxs : i am using 8.10 [07:46] _anu: then look for the same in intrepid [07:46] <_anu> rxs : let me try [07:47] oh, i got a problem. my system is using python2.4, you know that. the Debian etch, and my project on django is all done in python2.5. now i want to deploy it with apache, and mod_python. but the mod_python is only work with python2.4, so , how can i figure this out? [07:48] hi [07:48] 1. What tool allows me to create diagrams from scratch for mysql databases? [07:48] 2. One that converts the diagram relationships to mysql code. [07:48] 3. One that converts the code (tables and their relationships) to a visual diagram [07:48] rxs: have you ever seen a dialog box which states: "enter password for default keyring to unlock" 'the application 'nm-applet' (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked' ? [07:48] yes [07:48] where can I get help on firestarter firewall settings? [07:48] 혹시 한국분이 계실까? [07:48] ksbalaji, Alt-f2 firestarter [07:48] marabout:its common .. it is the gnome keyring that stores all the password for ur wireless n/w etc [07:48] king, thanks. [07:49] king: look into Umbrello [07:49] guess not :o [07:49] huwenfeng: python 2.5 is in the intrepid repository : sudo apt-get install python2.5 [07:49] Flannel, Alright, Have you used / recommend it / others? [07:49] king: I've used it, but not for SQL [07:49] Hello [07:49] rxs: it wont go away. i have entered my password numerous times and it wont go away. Unless it is asking for the password (WPA-phrase) to my home network...? [07:50] king: Its a pretty standard UML editor thing. [07:50] 아무래도 한국분이 없겠군 [07:50] Do you know any way of changing the default icon size in Ubuntu? [07:50] Lukasz, I bet there is a setting in gconf-editor for that! [07:51] marabout, Try using a old user password that you had set. [07:51] i keep having trouble with libmidi.a when compiling stuff, im on 64bit 8.10, what am i missing? :s [07:51] king, Just as I guessed, thanks :) [07:51] Lukasz, :) [07:51] marabout: its not your password but a differnt password that you would have given gnome key ring .. do you remember any such ? [07:52] rxs: dont remember giving gnome key ring any password but I did change my password earlier today via the terminal. Bit strange since the new psswrd works for log in... [07:53] marabout: have u hence unlocked the keyring ? [07:53] rxs, marabout: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Automatic%20Keyring, use the second ('how to reset the password') to set it to something known (presumably your login password) [07:53] rxs, Why does the gnome-keyring password not update when the user changes the log-in password. Is that a bug? [07:54] Flannel, Is that a bug? [07:54] king: Nope [07:54] rxs: yes I put in the old one. [07:54] king, A whole bunch of settings I can find here. [07:54] <_anu> rxs : thank you it worked :) [07:54] Flannel, Shouldn't it update when the user changes the log-in password? [07:54] king: my thoughts exactly... [07:54] _anu: np [07:54] King: no .. [07:54] hi all [07:54] king: Not necessarily. There's no guarantee they'll be the same. There's plenty of reasons to have your keyring password be different than your login password. [07:55] ant [07:55] Flannel king marabout: yes .. i have them both different .. helps ... [07:55] I have firestarter installed. I wish to know how many other firewalls are running in my system. Also, can someone suggest the best firewall for Ubuntu Hardy? - In terms of easy usage, configurability, effectiveness..... [07:55] Flannel, But the use case is this. The user is asked just one password when he installs the system. Then later, when he changes his log in password, the keyring password (which he doesn't remember setting differently) still remains the old one. [07:55] <_anu> rxs : but the chinese i type was messed up :) [07:56] _anu: was or is ? [07:56] Lukasz, You could take help of find and look for 'icon' 'size'. Probably somewhere in 'nautilus' sections. [07:56] Does the gnome-bluetooth applet work to configure bluetooth headsets? [07:56] <_anu> rxs : is now :) [07:56] _anu: what do you mean by messed up ? tell us more [07:56] i`ve problem: i`ve got ubuntu 8.10 as windows aplication installed (wubi) and the space on the disk is over. can i remove something what is not necessary? [07:56] <_anu> rxs : was cannot type :) [07:56] anyone/anybody know Unmet dependencies [07:57] is super ubuntu any easier to use [07:57] pairish: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices [07:57] <_anu> rxs : it shows in unknown fonts when i type Chinese in gedit :) [07:57] irc.freequest.net #popmm [07:58] I looked their but after following the directions the device still is not usable by alsa [07:58] Flannel: "E: Package libpam-keyring has no installation candidate"....? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:58] pairish: did the device get paired with ur system ? [07:58] marabout: You likely don't need to install it, just reset the password. [07:58] yeah but I can't send any audio to it [07:58] can i remove previous kernel versions? [07:58] sidney__, thanks you asked. I was also about to ask about this. Any users? [07:59] how i can grep all files inside one directory and put the output in a file ?

[08:00] Flannel: sorry got turned around. Was I supposed to do the "echo...: command as well? Also you are referring to 'resetting' the keyring passwrd yes? I do not know how to accomplish that... [08:01] _anu: dunno .. I m lost [08:02] <_anu> rxs : i just install lang-zh-support , the input tool is ok , but the result it typed out is a mess. [08:02] it doesn't even work on vista 64-bit?? Is that even possible that dlink didnt make 64bit drivers for windows? Anyways, can anyone recommend an awesome wireless network adapter that works flawlessly on 64-bit ubuntu?

[08:02] <_anu> maybe [08:02] A[D]minS: you mean you want to put a bunch of files in one file? [08:02] With super ubuntu, someone mentioned that regular updates is messy. We have to install and do a bit of tinkering to enable updates. [08:02] adam7 yes [08:03] A[D]minS: that's not grepping :) cat * > fileename [08:03] ksbalaji maybe i'll just download and play around for awhile [08:03] adam7: no, i want to change hendri to admin (login name) [08:03] haha, the 96 series one is working...

[08:03] <_anu> rxs : i can't copy them in mIRC [08:03] Trenter: look for compiz configuration manager [08:03] Trenter: system -> prefs -> appearance -> visual effects [08:03] _anu: i get what your sayin .. brb [08:04] @Newbie you should try ubuntu studio [08:04] <_anu> rxs : thank you :) [08:04] now, I have 4 workspaces with a switcher on my task bar, for some reason intrepid only had two so I increased it to four... how do I make it smaller (it's now twice the size it was in hardy, on the task bar) [08:04] rxs: now that I am back in the machine I guess I should install ssh for future problems? would that be "apt-get install ssh" ? [08:04] for better appearence [08:04] ubuntu studio? [08:04] sidney__, yeah! your opinion then will be of much use here! [08:04] adam7: thx, what should i do if i want to change the password too ?

It will be faster than from a single site. [08:05] rxs: okay will do. Didnt fully get the keyring psswrd thing but it sounds like for security purposes it might be a good idea to have different psswrd for log in and for keyring. Is that about right? [08:06] Lukaz: don t know exactly what you mean but you can hit : ALT + F2 and type the name of a program to launch it [08:06] ksbalaji_. just hope it's worth the trouble of removing a hard drive to install a dvd [08:06] Baz: There ain't compiz configuraton manager in synaptic package manager [08:06] marabout: yes, but you will then have to enter both the login password and the keyring password on login IIRC [08:06] Trenter: there is [08:06] Trenter: compizconfig-settings-manager [08:07] hi [08:07] hi [08:07] !hi [08:07] Hi!

[08:12] but that command doesnt work [08:12] well it does but it doesnt [08:12] ross`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:12] it only works with /boot/grub and not /media/disk/boot/grub [08:12] i try to change my login name using - sudo usermod -l admin hendri, then i change the password - sudo usermod passwd admin, when i restart, i used my new login (admin) and password, why it stated, "failed to entry as admin (something like that), anyone can help me please ? [08:12] ross` wouldn't the lack of a router make it easier? [08:12] Paddy_EIRE: understand? [08:13] trip_: it's actaully a normal computer with two nics [08:13] Is there a Wine equivalent for mac?

[08:14] ross`: what do you mean by booting your router..? [08:14] sidney__, if you do not have a DVD drive, you may have to install one. [08:14] Paddy_EIRE: turning it on [08:14] ross`: how is your router giving you grub errors :/ [08:14] Paddy_EIRE: because its a computer with 2 nics [08:14] O_o [08:14] Paddy_EIRE: it's actually a computer with two nics :) [08:14] running ubuntu [08:14] rxs: if I recall before my crash i was supposed to be d/l gprep to check my hard drive usage. That was the name of the app right? [08:15] ross`: detail please not vague things.. like my car wont work I think its the metal thing :) [08:15] marabout: gparted [08:15] ross`: I think it would help if you just call it a computer as routers don't normally have cd drives or run Ubuntu ;) [08:15] _anu::) [08:15] Paddy_EIRE: im trying to fix the grub on my harddrive [08:15] right now im booted from a cd [08:15] !ross [08:15] ubuntu live cd [08:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ross [08:15] woops [08:15] !grub [08:15] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[08:19] ross`: just remember we don't *have* to help you :) this is why people go to windows, at least they get paid to care [08:19] ross`: you need to use hte grub command prompt, ie, sudo grub [08:19] adam7: ok [08:19] Beepll: check vmware.com [08:19] saler: can you pastebin your apt-get -f install ? [08:19] It should give you an option on the alternative disk [08:19] jaapvisser: ok.

[08:20] ross`: sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/disk or wherever you have the thing mounted [08:21] ross`: if you are trying to update-grub from a grub shell, of course it won't work, the kernel is not even loaded yet.

[08:33] adam7: almost positive [08:33] adam7: i did loe power earlier today tho [08:33] adam7: but my harddrive obviously isnt broken [08:33] ross`: oh. what filesystem are you using? [08:33] ic an mount it [08:33] adam7: ext3 [08:34] seriously... does anyone know how to stop it from thinking the windows/super key is pressed? Using 8.10 [08:34] ross`: um... try booting with the live cd and running fsck on that partition [08:34] adam7: would that fix grub tho :P [08:34] Yep, use xmodmap to remap windows key to one you don't use [08:34] ross`: maybe [08:34] adam7: really? [08:34] adam7: i dont see who that would effect it [08:34] isnt it better to boot from live cd and chroot to the broken system? [08:34] ross`: if your filesystem is corrupted grub won't be able to read it === raylu_ is now known as raylu [08:35] ok anyway im booting live cd [08:35] or at least see if its mountabel. [08:35] Josh I use the super key, but right now it thinks it's pressed so I can't do anything [08:35] Kunin: make sure you are using the correct keyboard layout [08:35] aftertaf: i did mount it tho [08:35] aftertaf: it mounted fine [08:35] rxs: so it is telling me that the size is 71.22gb used is 2.93gb and unused is 68.29gb So it appears that all is well as it should be. Wondering though why contents would say it is using 4.1gb earlier..... [08:35] and i was able to cd into my stuff [08:35] Kunin: does it unpress if you press it? [08:35] ok. I'd try the chroot method [08:35] aftertaf: chroot and then update-grub?? [08:35] so it's looking at it as permanently pressed when pressed or not? [08:35] actionparsnip: No, doesn't unpress and there isn't a correct layout (MX5500 keyboard) but under 8.04 the generic 105 key worked fine [08:36] chroot then, update grub, also apt-get update . . . [08:36] hwo do i chroot :p === sean is now known as Guest88324 [08:36] marabout: that was coz of all the downloaded archives etc .. did u do a upgrade ? [08:36] its been forever since i installed gentoo [08:36] =/ [08:36] ross`: try running fsck first and then chrooting [08:36] ross`: it can't hurt to run fsck [08:36] and also, like adam7 said, check the disk ;) [08:36] aftertaf: ok [08:36] adam7: ok [08:36] cant hurt, can help a lot ! ! ! [08:36] Kunin: there is, its the layout for your country. It has nothing to do with the make or model of the keyboard itself [08:36] ross`: I don't think that's hte problem but it can't hurt [08:36] and if it is, well, then you don't have to chroot :) [08:36] rxs: oh snap now my cursor/screen is frozen again. I wonder if gparted is causing this as it happened the last time when I apt-get installed it - this stinks! [08:36] Kunin: like, UK, US, DE etc [08:37] This doesn't help but do you have the same issue with a standard 104 keyboard? [08:37] Kunin: make sure all that is set correct [08:37] marabout: use parted directly [08:37] actionparsnip right, that's why there's is a huge list of layouts based off keyboard model? [08:37] aftertaf: ?? [08:37] marabout ... I dont think thats the issue .. do u have special effect son ? [08:38] rxs: special effects? as in...? [08:38] parted is the cmd line of [g|qt]parted [08:38] hi,any1 know an easiest way to install gtk2.0+ on ubuntu ?/ to install theme ...

[08:39] unmount it ;) [08:39] im using ext3 [08:39] adam7 no, desktop I just upgraded to 8.10, everything worked fine under 8.04 [08:39] Kunin: I also believe xmodmap can be used to set keys to 'depressed' or 'off'. That could then be run as a startup script if the key itself is sending the correct keycode but is simply in the wrong on/off state [08:39] Hey, guys. I installed Ubuntu 7.10 a while back and really liked it, but flash videos (YouTube) would only play choppy video (audio was fine). Have they fixed this?

I am accessing this irc from my Mac this whole time so I can stay connected in the event something happens ( as they have been...) [08:41] Eber open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:41] Eber it will say if it is installed or not [08:41] adam7 I do, where I tried 8.10 before installing and it worked fine, worked fine for a while after the upgrade as well, then all of the sudden this happened (doesn't happen at the login screen, just a few minutes after logging in) [08:41] Kunin: stick the cd in, boot, and if you have the same problem it's probably the keyboard [08:41] marabout: if you have installed ssh , then we can use that to safely restart the system [08:41] Hi, is there a dev chan ? [08:41] roccity_: getting it... it will get the autoconfig for me, is that it? [08:42] adam7 as I said, it worked fine with the cd, and worked fine right after the upgrade, it just started happening [08:42] Eber is it installing build-essential? [08:42] roccity_: yep, done! [08:42] marabout: the system that u are chatting from now , is that linux too ? [08:42] Eber if it is Im pretty sure autoconf is in there [08:42] adam7: fsck finished [08:42] adam7: now what [08:42] ross`: any problems? [08:42] Kunin: does it do it in recovery root console for the same kernel? [08:42] adam7: it didnt report any errors [08:42] Eber now try that and see if it picks it up [08:42] anyone can help me please, i try to change username and password in my ubuntu, now it won't login anymore, please help me, urgent [08:43] rsx: will reboot in a minute.

[09:39] unop: in console now, [09:39] bingungaja, what does this give you? grep $USER /etc/passwd [09:39] gordonjcp: well it is, its just gonna take some work [09:39] ActionParsnip: uh-huh [09:39] ActionParsnip: and that's what I'm asking about [09:39] ActionParsnip: I've followed the instructions and so far it's no-go [09:40] gordonjcp: It is supported by HPLIP (requires HPLIP version 2.8.5 or late [09:40] why cant i find free NX in the repos, can it really be that ubuntu is the "only" distro without freeNX packages?? [09:40] mukiex: with screen, yes.... [09:40] unop: gnats:x:42:41:Gnats Bug-Reporting system (admin):/var/lib/gnats:/bin/sh [09:40] ActionParsnip: ah right, so when the HPLIP page says it's supported in Ubuntu 8.04 it's actually lying?

For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [09:41] Hello. My TV has VGA so when I want to watch a movie on it I connect and extend the desktop. the problem is that it require a restart of x-windows and doesnt seem so fluent in its workings. Is it a better way to somehow extend to the external screen when needed? [09:41] I'm using jauny, and there seems to be a serious regression in gnome-media, the mixer is *gone* [09:41] unop: admin:x:1000:1000:Hendri,,,:/path/to/new/home:/bin/bash [09:41] so much for ubottu.. [09:41] gordonjcp: they are exclusive, if ubuntu hasnt got it right then thats not HPs fault [09:41] Paddy_EIRE: yeah great, thanks man:) [09:41] bingungaja, how about ls -ld /path/to/new/home [09:42] gordonjcp: i think you may need to compile hp's software using the latest source [09:42] ActionParsnip: yeah, the most recent on the site is 2.8.12 === sleepy_cat is now known as dragon_flam [09:42] ActionParsnip: so presumably 2.8.2 is thoroughly obsolete [09:42] let me just interrupt to say how much i love using linux instead of a certain other OS... [09:42] * aftertaf feels better for that [09:42] aftertaf: Mac OS? [09:42] nah, its a unix too ;) [09:42] gordonjcp: i wouldnt know, i'd try getting the .12, it may make it work [09:42] unop: no such file or directory [09:43] hi there, my 8.10 ubuntu cannot wake up from hibernation. any idea? [09:43] no [09:43] so what is is gtk? [09:43] gordonjcp: i dont use printers but I can websearch [09:43] !gtk | bonhoffer [09:43] bonhoffer: GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [09:43] ActionParsnip: I only want to use the scanner [09:43] bingungaja, sudo mkdir -p /path/to/new/home && chown $USER.$USER /path/to/new/home [09:43] ActionParsnip, specific to metacity? [09:43] ActionParsnip: tbh I could have retyped the five pages and redrawn the two pages of circuit diagrams in the time I've wasted on this already this morning [09:43] bonhoffer: no, thats a window manager === _anu is now known as anu [09:44] or specific to gnome -- (all that uses gnome mostly uses gtk for interfaces) [09:44] bingungaja, actually, what was your previous username? [09:44] gordonjcp: its a long haul thing [09:44] unop: hendri [09:44] o.k. so gnome is not a window manager? [09:44] bingungaja, does /home/hendri exist? [09:44] unop: i type exactly what u gave me ? [09:45] unop: yes it exist [09:45] where can i learn/review all this (where a kernel starts/stops, window manager and whatever gnome is . . .) (not really new to linux, but new to getting under the hood) [09:45] bingungaja, then use this command. sudo mv /home/hendri /home/new_username [09:45] bonhoffer: just websearch, wikipedia wil have some tasty treats [09:45] hi there, my 8.10 ubuntu cannot wake up from hibernation. any idea? [09:46] unop: done, then ? reboot ? [09:46] kennyyu: hibernation is a PITA to get nice [09:46] bonhoffer: www.unixgarden.com [09:46] ActionParsnip, agreed, but what is gnome? (if not window-manager) [09:46] bingungaja, not necessary - you can try logging in now [09:46] lol: http://xkcd.com/149/ [09:46] bonhoffer: gnome is a desktop environment [09:46] bonhoffer: oops its in french, sorry ;) [09:46] unop: how to do that in terminal, sorry :P [09:47] !info acer-hk [09:47] Package acer-hk does not exist in intrepid [09:47] JMLLMJT12 [09:47] bingungaja, get back to the login screen CTRL+ALT+F7 [09:47] bonhoffer: kde is a desktop environment too, it uses kwin as the default window manager [09:47] ActionParsnip: hmm... so, no well-defined solutions currently? :-o [09:47] bonhoffer: if you use compiz and use compiz --replace, you are replaceing metacity with compiz [09:47] ActionParsnip, so what does a window-manager do? [09:48] unop: there's just desktop screen with nothing icon or else [09:48] sirs, this is a rather lengthy question: i installed xampp on my laptop and access it via LAN using it's ip address ie http://192.168.1.6/website. I had to edit the website to recognize http://192.168.1.6/website as it's 'home'. Now obviously, i will not be able to access same website using 'localhost' if i access it via the laptop itself. I'm sure this has to do with hosts. Help please? [09:48] bingungaja, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE [09:48] please don't say manage windows . . . :) [09:48] Heyall...I upgraded to ibex today. I'm noticing a variety of minor UI tweaks that are kindof annoying, like the right-click menu in terminal no longer has hot keys,so I can'tjust "right-click p" to paste, I have to right-click and then arrow down to paste and hit enter. What's up with that? [09:48] bonhoffer, well, it does exactly that [09:48] aftertaf: so far so good. :) [09:48] bonhoffer: it draws the windows you drag round the place [09:48] Marquis-Boy: nice one ;) [09:48] on what repo are this package available https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/nvidia-glx-180/180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 ? [09:49] ActionParsnip, expected, does it do anything more than draw windows? [09:49] unop: still, failed to add entry for user admin ... then no home directory is listed, jus as previous issues [09:49] bonhoffer: not as far as i know [09:49] ActionParsnip, anything with the panels and management apps . . . [09:49] bingungaja, try rebooting [09:49] ghm33: I'm not sure exactly what you're asking there [09:49] bonhoffer: Generally speaking, X windows provides the underlying technology for doing GUI windows, but the specific window manager you run provides the various specific details of user interface, like dragging and dropping, resizing windows,etc. [09:49] with what command do i find out what version of linux i have installed? [09:50] bonhoffer: Oh, and of course things like where the various 'standard' desktop menu elements are,etc. [09:50] puff, interesting -- so what about the look and feel of a given window [09:50] bonhoffer: yeah that too, the menus and all that stuff [09:50] Why is k3b update being kept back? [09:50] i know i really need to experiment a bit [09:50] remoteCTR1: lsb_release -a to see what version of Ubuntu you have. uname -r to find out what Linux kernel version you have. [09:50] guys i have installed amerycas army and i want to delete it [09:50] how to? [09:50] rww: nice, thanks [09:50] bonhoffer: To give examples from the microsoft world, the "start" button, the menu bar in general, alt-tab behavior, the UI aspect of the system tray, all of these elements would be defined by the window manager in X windows. [09:51] it was .run file when i was installing it [09:51] bonhoffer: its a good thing to know [09:51] unop: nah ... nothing change [09:51] ActionParsnip, when you say the menus -- are you talking about the panels in gnome [09:51] bonhoffer: yeah the top and bottom panels are metacitys responsibilty [09:51] o.k. so the window manager picks and chooses from gnome apps and how getting to them is presented to the user [09:52] bonhoffer: And the window frame, resize actions, window-dragging actions, any standard menu elements on the window itself (typical example would be the minimize/maximize/close actions, very commonly located in the window titlebar, in the top-right corner of the window). [09:52] guys, is it possible to generate a php.ini file for my current php installation automatically?!? [09:52] puff, great -- o.k. [09:52] I'm going to install Ubuntu on my Dell XPS 1530, it has an Intel Core Duo Processor T5800, can I use the amd64 images to have 64bit Ubuntu? [09:52] hi guys: can anyone help me get the murrina crystal them to work? I have a new fresh installation of ubuntu 8.10, 32-bit. Tried to install the engine and then the theme but it wont work. the theme is located here ang gnome-look.org: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murrina+Crystal?content=96065 [09:52] somebody give me a help [09:53] on what repo are this package available https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/nvidia-glx-180/180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 ? [09:53] unop: then ? :( [09:53] Carroarmato0: there are no AMD64 images - they are 64-bit images [09:53] a what level does gnome (or the desktop-environment stop) basic file operations -- done by the desktop-environment or kernel? [09:53] gordon: ok ill rephrase. How do I assign an ip address to my laptop? In such a way that it'll do so only on a particular network, but on others, will resort to dhcp [09:53] say moving files from one directory to another? [09:53] adam7, well in the list it states ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso [09:53] bingungaja, might just be easier creating a new user all together - with adduser [09:54] adam7, but will it work also on my Intel Core Duo? [09:54] Anyone know why sudo apt-get upgrade tells me that k3b is "kept back"? I can't seem to select it even though it shows up in my system update options. I'm running gnome but use a few KDE apps like AMAROK ok [09:54] i am sure the mv executable is used . . . but what libraries does that executable reference? [09:54] Marquis-Boy: try dist-upgrade instead of upgrade [09:54] tanx Flannel [09:55] can someone help me bring up gui for lpr? [09:55] unop: then teach me will u, I need to back up my file [09:55] Flannel - same error: The following packages have been kept back: k3b [09:56] hopefully i haven't asked too technical a question [09:56] Marquis-Boy: Just k3b? Alright, pastebin the output of this: apt-cache policy k3b && sudo apt-get install k3b [09:56] folks, is 'shutdown -h now' considered a hard reboot? [09:56] bingungaja, sudo adduser new_username admin; sudo passwd new_username [09:56] im sorry : is 'shutdown - h now' a hard shutdown rather? [09:56] Can anyone say if using the ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso image will work on my Intel Core Duo with 64bit? [09:56] Carroarmato0: yes it will [09:56] Paddy_EIRE, thank you :) [09:56] Carroarmato0: it will. AMD64 is a platform, it's not vendor specific [09:57] Flannel, It's like.... AMD based? [09:57] Flannel - cheers. looks like it is reinstalling k3b. [09:57] Wait, Intel Core is 64-bit? I thought only Intel Core 2 was... [09:57] super random question, anyone remember reading about a project regarding the range of a bluetooth enabled device, and a usb-BT dongle, and when said device enters range, executes a pre-determined script, i.e: turning lights on, opening a web browser etc, etc, anyone provide any info regarding this topic? (sorry for randomness btw) [09:57] Carroarmato0: No more than i386 (intel 386) is intel only [09:57] Flannel, can u see this error it not work with ubunut past so i put it here http://i39.tinypic.com/25hptug.jpg [09:57] Flannel, ok thanks [09:58] gh0st: Never heard of it. [09:58] unop: sudo adduser blink admin --- the user blink does not exist [09:58] it was a couple of years ago, and my google foo has turned no results [09:58] gh0st: I was looking into bluetooth stuff last year. It's probably fairly doable. [09:58] gh0st: like, walking into a room and the light turns on? :D [09:58] nice idea [09:58] gh0st: you are /dev/random personified :) [09:58] correct [09:58] im logged onto a machine as a user, which is of type administrator. Ive got a file config.cfg which i created in opt/firefox i open with text editor and try and save it and it says: could not save the file.. ... necessary permissions and so on?? [09:58] Flannel, Paddy_EIRE: I'm looking on Wikipedia's page on Intel Core, and it says it's 32-bit =/ [09:58] saler: Did you do something off to your sources.list? [09:58] I can do it by doing sudo vim opt/firefox/config.. [09:59] Flannel - problem solved [09:59] its easy enough to implement, but i think i could use some help/other minds with thisa [09:59] this* [09:59] Flannel,i u mean change ,no [09:59] Flannel - thansk heaps [09:59] gh0st: The main gotcha is that one of the devices would have to be polling fairly constantly. [09:59] lol aftertaf* [09:59] Flannel,if u mean change ,no [09:59] Hallo all, could you help me with such a problem: i had an nvidia card, installed for it proprietary driver. Then i unplugged it, and put an ati card, modified xorg.conf for using ati open-source driver (Card Radeon 9200 SE, RV280 based). Now i dont' have 3d, glxinfo says "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual". extract of Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/102102 . It says something about missing nvidia driver, for x server, but i specified [09:59] "ati" in xorg.conf. DO you have any thoughts? [09:59] Marquis-Boy: so all working now? :) [10:00] saler: What are you doing when this happens anyway? [10:00] hi guys. When I right-click a folder in Nautilus and share it, in which smb.conf file is that set up? I cannot find it in /etc/smb.conf [10:00] puff: what if it was a home grown app on the phone? [10:00] aftertaf - yeah, sorting through all my issues one by one! :) [10:00] bingungaja, sudo adduser new_username; sudo adduser new_username admin; sudo passwd new_username; [10:00] Flannel, i am trying to install ,just gnome [10:00] saler: What do you currently have installed? [10:01] Flannel,sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop-environment , also not work it keep asking fr this package [10:02] gh0st: Then the phone would have tobepolling constantly. [10:02] saler: Right. Ok, this is a fresh install? First thing you should do on a fresh install is `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` [10:02] saler: Then once that's done, do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [10:02] hmmmm [10:02] gh0st: In general, bluetooth devices do not spontaneously transmit. [10:02] unop: it ask full name, then room number, what is room number ? [10:02] bingungaja, you can leave that blank [10:02] Flannel ,k i will try that [10:03] Next problem: I have an NAS hard disk which shares all my media. It's SMB shared as Media1. How do I set it up so that whenever I am on my home network I can access it as a disk from my system? Kind of liek Winblows "automatically reconnect at startup" on a mapped drive. Without these feature I can use library functions in Amarok. [10:03] unop: ok, done, than ? back to login page ? [10:03] gh0st: Unlike, say, cell phones, which poll frequently (at *least* every few minutes) to tell the local cell phone where they are. [10:03] Hi! I'm using 8.10 with a CL Audigy soundcard. I used 8.04 with both line outs independently, one had the volume set by "pcm front", the other by "surround". I can't get the second line to out work again. [10:03] edit: CAN'T use library in Amarok, sorry [10:03] puff, gh0st: mind taking itto #ubuntu-offtopic? Thanks [10:03] bingungaja, yea [10:03] gh0st: Er, tell the local cell _tower_ where they are. [10:03] Flannel: Sure. [10:04] Flannel: Meanwhile, can you answer my question about ibex / gnometerminal? [10:04] sorry flannel, ill take 'er else were [10:04] Flannel: I upgraded to ibex today. I'm noticing a variety of minor UI tweaks that are kindof annoying, like the right-click menu in terminal no longer has hot keys,so I can'tjust "right-click p" to paste, I have to right-click and then arrow down to paste and hit enter. What's up with that? [10:05] puff: I have no idea. I just upgraded to Hardy from Dapper the other day. [10:05] hi, do someone has an account for the ubuntuforums? [10:05] Flannel, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , this command will upgrade my Os from server to desktop [10:05] gh0st: I've gotta crash anyway, but I'll pm you my emailif you want to ask about it. [10:05] saler: It'll install gnome, yes. [10:05] I didn´t get an approval and need a patch posted there [10:05] AndreU: Try #ubuntuforums [10:05] thanks!!! [10:05] unop: why is it my data all gone in this username ? [10:05] w3m => light-weight browser for CLI, so I can use "Tab" to jump from link to another, but how do i jump backward to previous link (I have tried to use Shift+Tab but it won't work) please advise, thanks [10:06] hi guys. When I right-click a folder in Nautilus and share it, in which smb.conf file is that set up? I cannot find it in /etc/smb.conf [10:06] bingungaja, because it's a brand-new user -- the other user's data is in its own home directory [10:06] stix - no idea, sorry [10:07] unop: then what should i do if i want grab the old Data ? [10:07] I am looking for a chat that helps me specifically with questions about encryption and security [10:07] Hm, good question, how hard/easy is it to get file sharing set up in ubuntu? I've never needed it before, I just use ssh and/or set up apache on whatever box I want to make files public from. But now I'm in a network with several mac and window sguys and they're making their drives "visible" on the network. I assume that's samba, or something? [10:07] stix: i think u need the necessary right to read/edit the smb.conf file or Samba is not installed in your PC [10:08] bingungaja, navigate to that home directory - probably /home/old_username [10:08] nomingzi, samba is installed and I can edit the file just fine [10:09] !samba > puff [10:09] puff, please see my private message [10:09] stix: I have /usr/share/samba/smb.conf [10:09] can anyone explain why ubuntu needs to be rebooted after updating openssl? [10:09] stic: and I use samba a bit. sort of [10:09] Marquis-Boy, yes I have that too. But my shares are not listed there [10:10] seems update-manager wants to reboot more often than is needed, this starts to resemble windows.. [10:10] stix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [10:10] puff it is supposed to be very easy, but samba is full of bugs, no matter what you do, windows or macs sometimes just cant find you and vice versa [10:10] vega, services have to be restarted to take into account the new openssl libraries [10:10] stix: /home/mark/.smb/smb.conf [10:11] unop: well a normal desktop doesn't have many openssl-dependant services, besides they can be restarted without a reboot [10:11] or /etc/samba/smb.conf [10:11] b_tard: Thanks. [10:11] i am a noob btw [10:11] unop: i think why i met the first problem, u see the folder /home/hendri (the first one) - then it doesn't change to /home/admin, instead it change to /home/admin/hendri -- is it the issue we're looking for ? [10:11] Marquis-Boy, I have no dir called .smb in users home [10:11] Hi , Is there anyway to reset my repositiory i keep getting cant fully update [10:12] stix : /etc/samba/smb.conf is what you are after, I'm pretty sure [10:12] vega, well there's obviously some service that depends on openssl - and you're right, you don't have to reboot - you can just restart services - and a reboot is an easy way to do that [10:13] bingungaja, that's probably it, yea [10:13] stix - if you don;t have that one then follow the link posted by nomingzi' [10:13] oki thanks [10:13] Stic: np [10:13] Is there a good program or script that will convert a bunch of 7z files to zip? [10:14] unop: i don't think it would be hard to restart those automatically or tell the user which ones to restart [10:14] So... can anyone help me "map" a NAS shared folder so I can use library fucntions in Amarok? Or watch vids using xbmc? [10:14] vega: Feel free to post that idea on Ubuntu Brainstorm. [10:14] !brainstorm | vega [10:14] vega: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [10:15] vega, it's not - debconf prompts me for services to restart and can do that automatically - maybe you need to reconfigure debconf too? i'm not sure [10:16] Hi! I have a small "default browser" problem. If i click on links on pidgin, firefox doesnt start, if i use googlizer the no browser is started. what can be the problem?

[11:08] thanks Flannel [11:08] ramon - sounds old skool [11:08] hi all [11:09] anybody knows how to add dictionary in dict application in gnome [11:09] adaptr: i know, and i have, that's why i was wondering if there was some kind of automatic profile based system for it. for example, having sshd visible only from a certain wlan network (i know i could just use keys and accept certain hosts but the service itself would still be open) [11:09] marquis-boy...lol...the thing is the camera doesnt have any name or so...i may try ov51x to see what happen [11:09] how do i disable desktop effects [11:09] ramon: Instead of descriping whatever that particular brand of camera looks like how about telling us the model? [11:09] ? [11:10] piksi: ah, I see... sorry, I don't work with wlans in Linux [11:10] ramon: The second type of connector is called a DIN connector. And, I haven't the feintest idea. Try.... plugging it in, then booting, then firing up ekiga to see if you get anything. [11:10] adaptr: np, just asking :-) [11:11] Flannel: no ,he means USB [11:11] made in china...thats all it says [11:11] adaptr: No, I think he means DB-25, PS2, and DIN [11:11] ah, yes, I was wondering about the "same, but bigger" conundrum [11:12] it doesn't exactly sound like a web cam [11:12] me pleazzz [11:15] Is there a way to make a cell phone work as cam in ubuntu ? === web5 is now known as Guest90179 [11:15] just like motwik? [11:16] hi, i just installed a new set of icons, which i love. Yet, some of the icons are in the folder but are not applied. Namely all those in the "devices" folder and a few in the "places" folder; also, all the small folder icons in the resources menus. Default Gnome icons are used instead. This happens with most of the icon sets that I have tried. This one in particular is here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=78259&forumpage= [11:16] 1 Can anyone please help? Thank you very much [11:17] Hey guys. I have a problem with the resolution. I ran sudo nvidia-settings and I did save the settings then in the nvidia gui dialog to the xorg.conf file by clicking on "save to X configuration file". This is how my xorg.conf does look like: http://pastie.org/355542 . Unfortunately after logging out and logging in again the resolution 1280x1024 appears instead of the resolution 1680x1050. Any ideas how to fix that? [11:17] Permissions should be u=rwx (0700) how do i apply this to a folder and its subfolders?

[11:20] unop: subfolders , not subfiles ... [11:20] that's actually less efficient... it says: do the chmod -R to each dir recursively down [11:20] iNutshell, sure, but you're using chmod -R too [11:20] unop: oh .. [11:21] iNutshell, and find will find the present directory and apply chmod to it .. and to every directory underneath - that's horrible [11:21] hey everyone I have a feeling it is realated to Compiz and the compiz settings but everytime I roll my finger upwards on the side of my touchpad it switches to another workspace and I was just wondering how to disable that feature [11:21] if you take the -R off, the find would probably do what you want [11:21] Hi, I was wondring if there is a way to get the timestamp reportet by dmesg (eg: [1731671.504389]) "translated" to human-readable form. [11:21] unop: my mistake .. [11:22] WhiteDwarf_, not really - that time is the time since the kernel began execution - so unless you know exactly when that was, it's hard [11:22] How can I restart pulseaudio? it is running but has crashed and it continually sending the same sound to ALSA over and over and over again. I can't connect to it via the manager. It's unresponsive to SIGTERMs too. /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart did nothing either [11:22] I want to use sshfs but the /media/mountpoint does not have the appropriate permissions so all users can use it. How should I set this up? [11:23] hello, i have a problem, my second disk doesnt mount, it doesnt appaer in /dev and when boot display "revalidation failed (errno=-19), some clue?)" [11:23] unop: can I, somehow, display the current time? I did not find any parameters for uptime or anything. [11:24] hi [11:24] unop: dmesg is reporting in seconds right? [11:24] WhiteDwarf_, uptime tells you how long the system has been up - you could use that to extrapolate. [11:24] WhiteDwarf_, right [11:24] unop: ok thanks... not a nice system but one can work with that I gues. thx again === [dmay] is now known as dmay [11:25] WhiteDwarf_: date [11:25] if ive connected to a router through ssh, how do i transfer the log file to my pc to read it? [11:25] what do I install to get ssh server [11:26] mooperd: use "sshfs user@host mountmount -o allow_other" or create a group for all the users you want to access it and use "sshfs user@host mountmount -o gid=(id of the group)" [11:26] do u guys know of any other docks besides rocket dock? [11:26] !sshfs [11:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about sshfs [11:26] i'm just not getting good luck with that [11:27] Appl3`: yap i think its awant [11:27] !awn | Appl3` [11:27] Appl3`: Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen.

[11:34] nomingzi: is there a robots.txt files? [11:34] I'm not sure if that's related, or the problem itself, but it is the following error. [11:35] shoeunited: use $() instead [11:35] jaapvisser: yes [11:35] Ah. Alright, I'll give that a shot. :) [11:35] shoeunited, is there a reason they have to be .zip files? it's easier with .tar.gz files - they're zip compatible === DRNK-E is now known as drunky [11:35] shoeunited, adaptr $() for what? [11:36] The program I'm giving to them is too stupid to take anything but .zip for some reason, though comparable forms allow 7z or other formats. [11:36] Morning folks, I was wondering if someone could help me with a non Ubuntu related question. On the company network packets are being periodically dropped. I was wondering if anyone knew of a program like tracert that I could run over a period of time that will show me where the packets are being dropped. Any advice or help would be much appreciated [11:36] jaapvisser: the robots.txt --> content shows User agent Disallowed [11:36] mick02: mtr, maybe? [11:36] rww mtr??? [11:36] is it possible to install intrepid with disk encryption? [11:36] i can't find any option for it in the 32 nor 64 bit versions [11:36] And unfortunately in linux, there are no alternative programs. [11:36] hello, i have a problem, my second disk doesnt mount, it doesnt appaer in /dev and when boot display "revalidation failed (errno=-19), some clue?)" [11:36] shoeunited, i noticed i didn't quote the last $j .. rm "$j" # that's causing rm to complain [11:37] the installation docs talk about encrypted disks and encrypted LVM, but there are no options related to that in the installer [11:37] nomingzi: disallowed what？ [11:37] pebkac or docs snafu? [11:37] mick02: yup. Command line utility, run it with "mtr destinationAddress". [11:37] the docs say this about the manual partitioning: "The main setting is Use as:, which determines if the partition will have a file system on it, or be used for swap, software RAID, LVM, an encrypted file system, or not be used at all" [11:37] i have no options there apart from the basic filesystems like ext3, xfs, swap [11:37] rww, can i run that indefinitely until the packets start to drop from the network? [11:37] i'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/i386/module-details.html [11:37] mick02: yup [11:37] shoeunited, correct that and try again - let's see what happens [11:37] or the id-ten-t problem [11:38] Alright. :) [11:38] closely related to pebkac [11:38] iNutshell: / --> i think it is refer to as root ???

(it works on all but 8 archives :D ) [12:21] Waleed, what does System->Administration->Hardware Drivers suggest you? [12:21] anyone how do i check which scripts run at startup using update-rc.d? [12:21] It's not perfect, but since 99% of the files all extract files of the same extension, I did some more reading on man zip and made this: for i in *; do p7zip -d "$i"; j="${i%%.7z}"; zip -r "$j" . -i "*.z64"; rm *.z64; done [12:22] Well not made, more like modified your code. hehe [12:22] hlo [12:23] Hey, ubuntu 8.04 all my menus are gone [12:23] anyone got a goo url on how to repair grub [12:23] anyone have a clue how to get them back [12:23] For some reason, the zip command refused to remember what you told it "j" represented. [12:23] no applications, system, etc [12:23] Waleed, and what does lspci tells you about your video card? [12:23] BigMike: Do u want to repalir grub [12:23] ? [12:23] BigMike: Run the live cd [12:23] And when the files included spaces and unusual characters, I figured that maybe messing with a wildcard could work. [12:23] yes it stopped workn i go right into windows vista now] [12:24] Swian: do you still have a panel? [12:24] nope [12:24] ok then use grub install commads? [12:24] Swian: desktop icons? [12:24] No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. [12:24] yeah [12:24] that's how I got Xchat running [12:24] BigMike: yap [12:24] Swian: does Alt-F2 bring up a "Run Application" window? [12:24] I'm thinking it got tripped up somewhere around i%%.7z but I have no idea what that means. lol [12:24] BigMike: type sudo grub [12:25] nope [12:25] ok sounds good it will install the grub loader and i will get my old menu,lst working again? [12:25] Swian: hrm. Okay, use your desktop icons to open /usr/bin/gnome-panel and see if that gets you a panel. [12:25] How to change the default media player using update-alternatives command [12:26] wtf [12:26] they all just came back [12:26] palomer, have you tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [12:26] menus and such [12:26] my hd sounds like its spinning a lot [12:26] lemme see what disk activity is like [12:26] icqnumber, what is lspci? [12:26] daredevilthere: System > Preferences > Preferred Applications > Multimedia. As far as I know, you don't do it with update-alternatives. [12:27] shoeunited, ${i%%.7z} just removes the .7z extension from $i [12:27] Ohhh. [12:27] shoeunited, so, do you have a working solution now? [12:27] Waleed, type "man lspci" without " in terminal [12:27] rww: becouse i use terminal much [12:28] unop: Yes I do thank you. Though now I'm spurned to figure out an ultimate solution so I can make a nautilus app. :) Thank you so very much. fixing 8 archives is way better than 400. lol [12:28] Can i view pictures in terminal .cacaview shows ascii image [12:29] shoeunited, well, if you can take the 8 problematic archives out into a seperate folder and run that after set -x and put the output on a pastebin for me to see, i might be able to see exactly what is happening. [12:30] icqnumber, a lot of info !! what exactly should i get there ? [12:31] unop: the problem lays in the fact that the line that adds the files to the zip archive doesn't remember what 7z uncompresses. When I get done with these files, I'll do that though. :) [12:31] ok, I can hear my hd activity and I cannot open Xsensors or htop [12:31] any other way to see disk activity? [12:32] Swian: System > Administration > System Monitor ? [12:32] Waleed, type "lspci | grep VGA" what card you are using [12:32] yeah, but that doesn't show disk [12:32] memory, cpu, network [12:32] open the drive? [12:32] Swian: yeah, I just realized that. Hmm.

[12:44] Kunin: I see. Create a new user and see if it still happens [12:44] kapipi, load the certificate with ssh-add [12:45] zenmaster: no I don't sorry. Can you just pastebin what you have currently? [12:45] icqnumber, how do i know which model to install ?? [12:45] kapipi, or specificy it with ssh -i ~/.ssh/privatekey user@host [12:45] i found many models in that page [12:45] kapipi: check permissions [12:45] CLE266 UniChrome integrated graphics [12:45] CN700 UniChrome Pro integrated graphics [12:45] CN800 UniChrome Pro™ integrated graphics [12:45] CN896 VIA Chrome9™ integrated graphics [12:45] CX700 UniChrome Pro integrated graphics [12:45] CX700M/M2 UniChome Pro integrated graphics [12:45] Waleed: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:45] mchelen: so i need to specifi the identity file? shouldnt it be possible to just do ssh host and have it ask for key passphrase? [12:46] yanz: try install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic [12:46] kapipi, you could also use the -v option to ssh to make it verbose - it might expose the problem [12:46] kapipi, you can either specify the path or use ssh-add [12:46] Ok on moment [12:46] http://www.pastebin.ca/1303440 <- can I remove any of these ? [12:46] kapipi, there is also a gui if you prefer [12:46] kapipi: it should look at ~/.ssh/id_rsa by default, but what mchelen has suggested is a good starting point to troubleshoot your issue [12:46] jrib: was next on my things to try... it works fine with a new user... [12:47] jrib: so the question is... what does the new user have that I have fscked up? [12:47] Waleed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome maybe this will be interesting for you too, and try to ask other people here how to set up your chrome pro card, or google for detailed instruction for ubuntu, because i do not know and have never used it [12:47] mchelen: no i prefer cli.. but I have had it working previously, never used ssh-add or -i, wonder why I need it now === geo is now known as geo_ [12:47] kapipi, use "ssh-add -l" to see what certs are loaded [12:47] Kunin: just some gconf settings then. I'd guess ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/ [12:48] unop: That's the perfect solution. :D [12:48] shoeunited, :) [12:48] unop: I'm sorry I was so much trouble there. Hehe.

[12:49] shoeunited, not a problem - it keeps me sharp :) [12:50] Kunin: nothing, you are just resetting everything in gconf there. You can either delete it and logout and log back in or use gconftool-2 to do it properly [12:50] I have trouble accessing the boxee repositories [12:50] jrib: Ok, so log back in as my main account, then do gconftool-2? [12:51] silv3r_m00n: try asking in #openoffice.org if you don't get an answer here. [12:51] ziroday: finished [12:51] rww: thanks [12:51] unop: Well, it works even faster than my hack and slash attempt @ your coding. hehe So, 100x thank you. :) *makes some cookies for unop* I bake better than I OS.

[12:58] ackbahr, errm, i wouldn't do that - why would you? [12:58] kapipi, sure thing good luck, found certs sometimes get loaded automatically sometimes not [12:58] unop: Because it's better than giving someone my password [12:58] jrib: I've been screaming at this thing for 4 hours now... now it all seems to work again! And thanks (earlier) for helping me get the MX Revo working too [12:58] doen anybody else alos feel that battery runs out fast on ubuntu? [12:58] Kunin: no problem [12:59] shavin: You bet! [12:59] ackbahr, doesn't gnome-power-manager work for you? [12:59] unop: Console mode [12:59] i am compaq 6710b [12:59] ziroday:not directly, but in a subdirectory of the parent [12:59] shavin: you can use powertop to see how to lower your batter usage [12:59] unop: I'm stopping gdm [12:59] ackbahr, setup sudo to not ask for a password for this then [12:59] ziroday:i dont know why its telling me to do that. its right on the W3C's website [12:59] jrib: Since you have this mouse too... is there anyway to program the buttons to act differently based off the active program? [12:59] I have ubuntu on my pen drive and vista on hard disk. vista uses battery very opyimaly. [13:00] optimaly [13:00] ziroday: It just said Ethernet eth0 [13:00] unop: Ah, that's a good solution... How do I do this? [13:00] zenmaster: well bash disagrees. Can you pastebin the output of ls -l in that directory [13:00] ziroday:http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/Autoconf.html [13:00] yanz: okay, it didn't work then. [13:00] ziroday: i can find it in synaptic? [13:00] shavin: yes [13:00] ackbahr, man 5 sudoers [13:00] ziroday: thanks [13:00] ackbahr, search for NOPASSWD [13:00] unop: Nice, thanks!

Samba? [13:03] unop: Ok, I'll try that sometime. Thanks again, have a nice TimeOfDay! [13:03] ziroday: i am 90% sure they are [13:03] wookie_, can nautilus find your NAS device in the network? [13:03] wookie_: okay, well you can see them with through Places > Network [13:04] zenmaster: you need to find the configure file, its not in that directory [13:04] current in fstab im using //server/directory /media/fpt cifs username=xxx,password-xxx 0 0" [13:04] ok.. .Intrepid (upgraded from Hardy) Wine is all jacked up, can't read anything (random black spots over all letters)... fix? [13:04] i always get this when i install something. what does this mean? E: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 17 [13:04] ziroday: i ca see them but i cant see a commmand to mount them at boot [13:04] ziroday:whats a command for searching for a file within directories? [13:04] is it possible to install ubuntu as encrypted and hidden OS? [13:05] zenmaster, find /somewhere -iname "*pattern*" [13:05] ziroday: i installed powertop. how do i use it? is it gui or console? [13:05] unop:thanks [13:05] zenmaster: you can do ls -lR | grep [13:05] shavin: it runs in the console [13:05] wookie_, have you tried the mount command rather than the fstab? [13:05] yup [13:06] hmm, i'm running outa space on my /home partition, but my root partition is 60GB and only using 4 of that.. is there a sensible place to create an auxiliary /home2/ directory or something to add extra storage for a while? I need to take some dvd iso's to an office on the laptop tonight and i'll be stuck for space. [13:06] wookie_, same problem? [13:06] wookie_: tried install smbfs? [13:06] NET||abuse: just create /storage and use it. It doesn't really matter what you call it [13:06] new ubuntu search engine http://www.googlubuntu.com/ [13:07] Wow. Are they looking to get sued? [13:07] funky stuff aarklon [13:08] Isvara: sued for what? [13:08] Isvara, it's just another Google Custom Search Engine - www.google.com/cse [13:08] For their derivative logo, for a start. [13:09] After upgrade to Intrepid: When I go to use any of the wine applications I can't make out what the words are saying in the windows as they are all in jiberish and totally unreadable.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:09] would it be agood idea to set usb to autosuspend when i am running ubuntu installed on the usb pen drive? [13:09] shavin, i'd be surprised if that was allowed to work [13:09] ziroday: thanks, downloaded it. .looks better but i get a permission denied when i try and access the /media/ftp firectory [13:10] wookie_, but was the directory mounted ok tho? [13:10] yup, looks like it [13:10] how to i start ubuntu without knowing wht ubuntu is loading [13:10] wookie_: try doing sudo chmod ugo=rwx /media/ftp [13:10] daredevilthere: please rephrase your question [13:10] ziroday, that shouldn't work [13:11] unop: why? [13:11] ziroday: permission denied, ls -la gives me libuuid as owner [13:11] ziroday, because it would try to affect the remote filesystem [13:11] zenmaster, can you keep it in herre please [13:11] ? [13:12] mchelen: I will get back later to this problem, right now I have spent too much of the day staring at it to the point of getting a headache (or maybe the headache is unrelated), but thanks for helping :-D [13:12] wookie_: try unmounting it then do it again [13:12] it was to long === chuck_ is now known as zul [13:13] wookie_, try adding the uid=$UID,gid=$UID options [13:15] i really want to install ubuntu as hidden OS [13:15] what does that mean [13:15] unop, airoday will do. when unmounted the directory is owned by root, but when mounted it is owned by libuuid [13:15] unop: did you read what i sent you? [13:15] zenmaster, not really - i don't have pms enabled. [13:16] encrypted but so that it does not even show up as encrypted volume [13:16] wookie_, that's not surprising -- which is why you need to use the uid and gid options .. see man mount.cifs for more on them [13:16] unop:dam well i cant figure this thing out and its driving me crazy cause it seems like such a simple task [13:16] zenmaster, what are you trying to do? [13:17] unop:install amaya by source debian/ubuntu repositories arent up to date [13:18] zenmaster, ok - and what are you having trouble with? [13:19] unop:amaya help page says to config mesa for 64bit systems which mine is [13:19] unop:it says to cp a file that doesnt exist to its directory [13:20] my Internet stops working after about 30 min. but I stay "connected". How can I keep my internet working?

I get a segfault 'xrdp[4980]: segfault at 348 rip 404979 rsp 7fffdba84140 error 6' [13:24] _spm_Draget: if people know about a problem it will be in the bug tracking system [13:24] I have this media server hooked up to my TV in my livingroom but I need to keep a keyboard/mouse connected to it now to use it and would like to get rid of those as they clutter up my AV equipment. [13:25] My wireless internet stops working suddenly even though I am still connected to the network. can somebody help? [13:25] fredl: it's called synergy [13:25] OriWB - did you recently upgrade to Ibex? [13:25] adam7 - explain more please? [13:25] im trying to mount a windows share with a space in it, ie "my docs" what escape character do i use? [13:25] fred1: no, I got the laptopith it [13:25] *with it [13:25] fredl: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ -- find the synergy package [13:26] nsadmin: sorry :) I used ajunta for a while and then I installed the source libs to work with GTK... I started a new test project and now, when I try to open ajunta, it freezes and I must kill it... after that I can't even get the splash screen until I reboot... I have a few apps that crash with ubuntu on my computer... never tested on other boxes [13:26] you'll have to do a little configuring, but it's not too bad [13:26] tnx adam7, I'll read through it. I've been googling already but most things google finds are all about how to hook up a standalone bluetooth keyboard. [13:26] fredl: there is a synergy package in the package manager [13:27] fredl: ah, though synergy requires wifi [13:27] or some type of network connection [13:27] fredl you can use some network tools to use it over your medaboxes lan [13:27] adam7: If you remember my screwy keyboard issue from before, jrib figured it out... apparently something was messed up in my gconf settings, clearing it fixed it all! [13:27] Kunin: ok, good to know [13:27] adam7 - well that should be no problem either as I have a wifi connection here in the livingroom. [13:28] fredl: if you've ever used multidisplay configuration, it works similar, you can move the mouse off of one screen and onto the next [13:28] why is the inputbox for remote desktop limited to a 8char string?.. seem's silly.. as anything that small is rather crackable?... [13:28] Kunin: imwheel regarding your question about mouse bindings specific to programs [13:28] jrib sweet, I'll check it out in the morning, thanks again! [13:29] Kunin: try just 'mv ~/.wine/ ~/.wine.old' for your other issue. You'll have to reinstall everything though. Check bugs.ubuntu.com [13:29] adam7 - installing the quicksynergy package as we speak... [13:29] fred1: I got the laptop with it. [13:30] how do i escape a space when connecting to a windows share, the share is "my docs" using mount command? [13:30] where can I chat about truecrypt? [13:30] fredl: I got the laptop with it [13:30] adam7 - I assume I have to install some sort of synergy server as well? [13:30] fredl: sounds good -- I didn't even know about that package :) [13:30] fredl: you'll need it on both computers [13:30] wookie_: you just answered your own question [13:30] I see. Hang on. [13:31] hellow [13:31] wookie_: put quotes around it ;) [13:31] this is first time i use this chat [13:31] hai [13:31] OriWB - do you have an Intel wifi card by any chance?

Does anyone know what this happens? [13:34] OriWB - hmm. Well I have the Intel wifi card and also get network drops since I installed Ibex. Don't know if that's been reported as a bug on ubuntu already but I also read posts about it on the network manager list.... [13:34] adam7: works with mount but not in fstab [13:34] wookienz: right [13:34] how do i use it for fstab, any ideas?

[15:22] aditya, open terminal and type sudo apt-get install firefox ? [15:22] bonjour [15:22] i like soundconverter, isn't bad, but i like more options [15:22] aditya: you should upgrade to 8.04 [15:22] aditya, yes. [15:22] you should [15:22] Gnea: why not 8.10? [15:22] phretor: 8.04 is LTS [15:22] either one i say. [15:22] my comp is has only 760 mb ram [15:22] Gnea: is what? [15:23] !lts | phretor [15:23] phretor: LTS means Long Term Support.

[15:24] Does cifs or AFS suffer from the same problems as NFS where it becomes non responsive if a server goes down? I am running a PHP script you see that accesses through NFS at current but when the server goes down it forever hangs [15:24] im not getting connected to 144.16.192.245...to update [15:24] I really dont know how to combat that [15:24] ok, no-one can help me then.... [15:25] space_cadet, yes [15:25] niice [15:25] Gnea: beside the support, do you see something else wrong in choosing 8.10 instead of 8.04 ? [15:25] darkham: didn't catch your question, try again. [15:25] i would convert wav/flac file to mp3 at 320kbps, but soundconverter let me convert only 256kbps max, hoh can i set soundconverter? where is a conf file if exist? [15:25] i like soundconverter, isn't bad, but i like more options [15:26] darkham: mencode maybe [15:26] phretor: 8.04 is a bit more stable, overall... 8.10 has a lot of silly bugs right now. he could go to 8.10, but he'd have to go to 8.04 first. [15:26] mencode....

It's already at maximum and it's still very soft. [15:46] how can I improve the performance of my wireless connection? [15:47] move it closer! [15:47] adjust position [15:47] avis: just add that line, it's not that complicated :) [15:47] ubuntu: increase the power level :) [15:48] fasta how can I increase the power level? [15:48] ubuntu: but I think you cannot do that in a Western country ;) [15:48] ubuntu: er may not [15:48] fasta: do wht [15:48] fasta how is that? [15:49] ubuntu: if you want to do it, you reverse engineer the device, identify the logic that says how strong the signal should be and change it. [15:49] ubuntu: regulations. Telcos don't want you to compete with them. [15:49] ubuntu: mobile phones have a larger range than your WiFi for example. [15:50] ubuntu: that's not a law of nature, but a man made law. [15:50] hi - im running ubuntu live from the disc before installing it - i need to free some memory first though, otherwise the installer will crash [15:50] ive opened my terminal, but how to i identify and kill some harmless processes? [15:50] can anybody guide me? [15:50] fasta: I'm using linux, I am suppossed to be able to do that [15:50] Grapefrugten: ps aux [15:50] can anybody give me details of how to use reliance data card in ubuntu ? [15:51] ubuntu_: is that a question? [15:51] Grapefrugten: ps -ef [15:51] fasta: not at all, I am a programmer and can get the kernel driver sources [15:51] ubuntu_: the kernel driver sources are not enough [15:51] ubuntu_: there is a blob _even_ in the kernel sources. [15:52] ubuntu_: this blob is platform independent, but it's still there. [15:52] ubuntu_: you really need to reverse engineer it. [15:52] fasta: what do you mean by blob? [15:52] fasta: the bin firmware? [15:52] ubuntu_: I think so, yes. I haven't investigated it. [15:53] I have a shared home dir for 2 computers on a NAS box, but firefox doesn't appreciate being open on two boxxen at once, is there a way to tell firefox to play nice and share teh profile? [15:53] ubuntu_: but please tell me when you find something :) [15:54] might it have something to do with the parent lock file?? (did i get that filename right??) [15:54] fasta: well, I don't even know where to start [15:54] fasta: I need something easier to start with [15:55] ubuntu_: haha, I thought you were a programmer ;) [15:55] can anyone tell me how i could force network manager to use a hex key instead of ascii when connecting to a WEP protected wireless network [15:55] how i want to check my error in terminal ubuntu? [15:56] the ascii is so weird that only windows will display proper characters; linux just own't [15:56] i want to install ftp server in my machine what do i do? [15:56] won't* [15:56] Awsoonn: that sounds like a permissions problem with your NAS, can you explain why you think firefox is the problem? [15:56] well i installed counter strike but doesn´t work [15:56] fasta: can that be re reason why on w****s my wifi card has a better performance? [15:57] sh1: http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd [15:57] can i do apt-get? [15:57] sh1: yes [15:57] sh1: but read the manuals on the link i gave you [15:57] ubuntu_: could be, but the Linux drivers are not that good. The regulations do not help anyway, especially not for Linux. [15:58] Jeruvy: when I have firefox open on system A and then try to open it on sytem B it give me an error about already being open [15:58] Does anyone know what this error means? WARNING **: callbacks.c 529: popen_rw_unbuffered: execv() returned [15:58] <^aDaM> shl: Are you new to Ubuntu? [15:58] fasta: where can I read more about this? [15:58] trying to run Hydra password cracker under ubuntu [15:58] I can rwx on all of the other files just fine however [15:58] is there any SIS 3d drivers for linux? [15:58] ok thx, that gave me a rather understandable list of processes...so i could kill for instance bluetooth and that sort before installing, right? [15:58] how i want to check my error in terminal ubuntu? [15:58] ubuntu_: google for madwifi, read everything on the wiki and you know more than me. [15:59] why is it i need to install everything in ubuntu myself [15:59] does it come with a list of commonly used packages [16:00] In Intrepid, how can I have gnome-system-monitor start with the Resources tab window open? [16:00] Anyone know how to fix this error? WARNING **: callbacks.c 529: popen_rw_unbuffered: execv() returned (in hydra password cracker under ubuntu) [16:00] hi how do i display revision superior to 4 for example in subversion? -r 4: [16:00] Awsoonn: yes, that sounds like your system is only allowing one login per user at a time. Not unusual [16:00] sh1: cause that's the way it works; and use aptitude isntead of apt-get [16:00] instead* [16:01] Jeruvy: Is there a way to allow more? [16:01] sh1: What you need depends upon how you want to use it. There are categories of packages. [16:01] Jack_Sparrow, so docking is totally automatic and I cannot adjust what it does when docked, find it it if thinks it is docked, etc.? [16:01] Awsoonn: I would direct you to your NAS support to ask that question [16:01] MaxProfits: dunno but i use john the ripper [16:01] <^aDaM> ubuntu_: http://www.madwifi.net/ [16:01] how i want to check my error in terminal ubuntu? [16:01] thanks, i will go through it [16:01] sh1: Also, Synaptic Package Manager has a graphical interface. [16:01] ok ok ill give that one a try [16:02] Jeruvy: ok then, I will do that I have a similar question to this as well: [16:02] cdavis_, I am busy in pm with another user but I think that is correct [16:02] gizmo: what is the error? [16:02] trying to test my web servers vulnerability [16:02] what is that? [16:02] synaptic package manager? [16:02] Awsoonn: typically however you probably want each PC to have it's own 'user' to connect. [16:02] sh1: yep [16:02] fasta: how can it be that I get a connection via dhcp very quickly and then I can not ping even the router? [16:02] techouse, when i open the ubuntu it say error in my device.. [16:02] a gui tool for apt-get i guess [16:02] sh1: that on is gnome specific; in kde use kpackage [16:02] hi. I just activated the pty ATI drivers on my laptop, and the screens geometry is all screwed up. Does anyone know how I can fix that? [16:02] why dont you recommend apt-get? [16:02] sh1: not extactly; it ahs its own system [16:03] ubuntu_: ask the channel, not me. [16:03] fasta:sorry [16:03] sh1: cause apt-get can leave you with a b0rked system [16:03] I cant open application menu. Places and system works fine. Whats wrong? [16:03] how can it be that I get a connection via dhcp very quickly and then I can not ping even the router? [16:03] use aptitude cause it checks of conflicts [16:03] oaky. i need to use aptitude. thanks [16:03] ubuntu_: can you ping ubuntu.com? [16:03] techouse, in my terminal? [16:04] I am running nomachine to connect to my home system remotely. NoMachine creates a new X session unlike VNC and when firefox opens I get an error about it already being open (on the other Xsession). Is there a way I can have two firefox session open on separate X sessions for the same system account? [16:04] ubuntu_: maybe your router has ping blacklisted? [16:04] gizmo: but what is the error? [16:04] sorry guys i need to go now [16:04] catch you tommorrow [16:04] i think the device.. [16:04] thanks a ton all [16:04] i cant catch up the words because it fast.. [16:05] i just want to know how to look the eror using terminal [16:05] gizmo: dunno but try to run your application that gives errors and put "| grep error" at the end [16:05] without the " of course [16:06] i cant get ffmpeg to open except in terminal? [16:06] I cant open application menu. Places and system works fine. Whats wrong? [16:06] example [16:06] gizmo: You might try "somecommand 2>&1 | more" or "somecommand 2>&1 | less" [16:06] Hello everyone :D [16:06] device | grep error ? [16:06] siiiimon: what happens when you click applications? [16:06] mattysstars: ffmpeg is terminal only :P use a frontend for gui; but dunno if there are any; use mplayer + smplayer for movies [16:07] gizmo: The "2>&1" shows both errors and normal output. "more" and "less" let you see a page of text at a time, hit space to see next page. [16:07] Does any1 here know how to get an Audigy sound card to work? :S [16:07] morning, everybody. I just saw an openssl update come through on apt, should I regenerate my ssh keys again? [16:07] gizmo: Try to use "less" if you have it because it has more features over "more". [16:07] !wine > tavi [16:07] tavi, please see my private message [16:07] well the reason i want ffmpeg is that vlc wont play audio when given a avi file [16:07] SEWilco2, ironically, "most" atually has the most features of them all :) [16:07] Paddy_EIRE: it change colour, no dropdown as there is on places and system. [16:07] GnomeAfterAll: it works natively [16:07] gizmo: The "|" symbol directs the command output to the other program. [16:08] i dont really understand [16:08] techouse, it didn't work for me :(, ubuntu 8.10 [16:08] GnomeAfterAll: try to see if it's detected by the system using dmesg [16:08] I was under the impression that if I want to backup a large amount of files to an external hard drive then if I use rsync I can be sure that no corruption or anything occurred during the copy, because rsync does some cryptographic checks. Whereas with a normal copy, some files might be messed up in the backup. Is this correct? [16:08] GnomeAfterAll: sudo dmesg | grep audigy [16:08] siiiimon: what do you mean by it changes colour.. does it go a dim grey? [16:09] shannon, normal copy is also ok. Rsync does offer some improvements though, but not related to correctness [16:09] techouse, can't do that right now, i removed the card and am now running on the on-board card :/ [16:09] is there any channel to speak about wireless? [16:09] ubuntu_, try this one [16:09] ubuntu_, ye, here :) [16:09] GnomeAfterAll, a quick google search makes me believe it should be working already, I think the dmesg advice you've seen is good [16:09] Paddy_EIRE: it change colour the same way places change colour when clicked. [16:09] Seveas -- if I just backed up a large amount of data, and now want to delete the data from its original source, is there some way I can check to confirm that the backup copy is correct? [16:10] gizmo: If "device" is the command whose output goes by too fast, try "device 2>&1 | more" to see the output a screenfull at a time. Hit space bar for the next screenfull. [16:10] well, I have spent more than 200€ on usb wifi cards for my laptop [16:10] I all of then work very poorly on my laptop [16:10] shannon, rsync will definitely be able to do that. [16:10] I am desperate [16:10] siiiimon: siiiimon what where you doing before this happened? [16:10] milesd, Ye, but there are so many that've got trouble with it, also, alsamixer don't recognice the card :/ [16:10] current one is an rt73usb [16:10] Does anyone know how I get 256 colors in gnome-terminal? [16:10] I can connect to the router, but can't ping even the router [16:10] shannon, I don't think rsync uses a cryptographically secure hash [16:10] Hi I need help getting an Atheros AR5212/AR5213 wireless card working with 8.04 [16:10] Paddy_EIRE: Nothing speciall, what i know of.. [16:10] http://pastebin.com/d6861fbee what is the error in this script? [16:10] Seveas do you know how I get rsync to do that check? I don't see it in the man [16:11] siiiimon: those work out of the box [16:11] ubuntu_: Maybe you're trying to use WiFi "N" cards with a different flavor of "N" on the wireless router? Just guessing. [16:11] milesd, you're right in that but the hash is good enough to detect transmission errors [16:11] Paddy_EIRE: thats what I thought [16:11] ubuntu_: So, what you're saying is you have a bunch of wifi cards you'll sell cheap? :) [16:11] Paddy_E: but it doesn't [16:11] anybody see the openssl updates come through? Do we all need to regenerate our keys again? [16:11] could someone help me with a sd card i cant seem to mount it properly im only getting read only ! [16:11] hudnix: sure, but I think they are all useless :) [16:12] shannon, rsync -av /path/to/files/ remote:/path/to/files (the trailing slash is important!) [16:12] simoo_, I've recently solved a users atheros wireless problems by following this thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=986072 product: AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter.. Post #10 in that forum [16:12] Seveas, sure, but it depends a lot on why shannon wants to make sure the files aren't corrupted [16:12] Paddy_E: have two wreless cards in and the atheros won't connect [16:12] SeWilco2 How can I test that? [16:12] simoo_: try following the link Jack_Sparrow gave for now [16:12] Seveas, because by extension, tcp transmission checking is enough for that, too... It's just a matter of how strong your hash is [16:12] milesd -- I just copied all the files to an external drive, I now want to format the original drive, hence I want to know the backup is correct first so I don't lose anything [16:13] milesd: strong hash is good [16:13] Jack_Sparrow: thanks i'll take a look [16:13] milesd, tcp transmission checking is good too, but disks are liars :) [16:13] Paddy_EIRE, Something about ath5 module in backports etc [16:13] ubuntu_: Don't know how you can test that something does not work. [16:13] ubuntu_: Does that wireless router successfully talk to anything else? [16:14] oh, and btw, anyone can help me with a nvidia-graphic card thing? i guess it's pretty basic but i'm new to ubuntu [16:14] Paddy_EIRE: Can i do anything to get them to work again? [16:14] Seveas, Nice to see you.. thanks for helping out [16:14] Jack_Sparrow: gah.. I once had an odd problem where my wifi card would switch itelf off altogether.. had to boot a live cd to teh desktop before it would show again.. make *no* changes and reboot to my normal install :/ [16:14] Jack_Sparrow, i'm on a train and bored, what better to do ^_^ [16:14] SEWilco2: yes, I am chatting with another computer, kubuntu 8.10, Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] [16:14] Seveas, Still appreciated === tyfoo2 is now known as tyfoo [16:15] GnomeAfterAll: what's the problem? [16:15] GnomeAfterAll: All I know is that in Intrepid I had the option to install Nvidia proprietary drivers, and they seem to work on my laptop. [16:15] SEWilco2: connected to the same router [16:15] can i suspend my console and resume it later? [16:15] fixed it by manually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. === drunky is now known as DRNK-E [16:16] ubuntu_: I assume that wireless card is PCI and won't work in the machine which you have problems on. [16:16] i need to go home. i tried suspending. and when i tried to resume i could only see a black screen [16:16] sh1: screen can do that [16:16] !info screen [16:16] Gnea, it's about 3D acceleration, i need to be able to access /dev/nvidia0 and /dev/nvidiactl whitout root access [16:16] Seveas, milesd -- so having copied the files over USB with rsync -avz, that's about as sure as I can get? [16:16] screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-11 (intrepid), package size 590 kB, installed size 1008 kB [16:16] something like windows (control+alt+del) [16:16] SEWilco2, it's not the drivers :) [16:16] SEWilco2: yes, it is PCI on a laptop [16:16] GnomeAfterAll: just make sure you're part of the video group [16:16] shannon, yes [16:16] shannon, no, there are ways to be more sure, but at this point the probability of corruption is *amazingly* low... I'd trust it [16:16] Gnea, how? :) [16:17] hello [16:17] sh1: You'll have to do research on your laptop to see if suspend/hibernate works. [16:17] GnomeAfterAll: System->Administration->Users and Groups [16:17] is there anything like (Cntrl+Alt+Del) [16:17] Gnea, ok, thx :D [16:17] i just want to lock my system [16:17] milesd, I'm trusting it enough to handle data worth several million dollar. It should do for simple backups ;) [16:17] before i leave office [16:17] Seveas, milesd -- ok, thanks guys, I'll trust it. So using rsync was no better than just using cp, or even drag-dropping in gnome, from the point of view of correctness? [16:17] Seveas, wow, for that, I'd take md5, sha1 and sha256 hashes of everything [16:18] sh1, In ibex, you can lock the screen where you logout [16:18] GnomeAfterAll: just check the 'user privelages' tab of the properties for a user [16:18] shannon, yes, definitely [16:18] whats ibx. im using ubuntu [16:18] milesd: yes, it was not any better? [16:18] !ibex [16:18] sh1: In Intrepid Ibex there is an icon in upper right of screen which offers menu with suspend/hibernate options. But we don't know if they work on your laptop. [16:18] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [16:18] Gnea, ye, i think i fixed it, i'm going to try and start a game now :) [16:18] sh1, intrepid..ibex.ubuntu [16:18] milesd, she said 'no better', I assuume you missed the 'no' :) [16:19] how do i do that [16:19] I have the dvd "The Dark Knight" and I want to backup it. However, all tools stop after 200MB. And also, only LinDVD can playback the whole DVD. Are there any tools which won't fail backing up that dvd? [16:19] sh1 If you click our user name on the top bar do you have a lock screen option [16:19] your [16:19] shannon, Seveas: quite correct, I missed the "no" rsync is much better [16:19] sorry about that [16:19] GnomeAfterAll: you'll need to logout/login after you make the change in order for it to take place [16:20] jack_sparrow: you are great [16:20] Gnea, ok, thx :) [16:20] milesd: so what exactly does rsync do that makes it better? That it splits the data into chunks and sends a hash of each chunk? [16:20] it worked for me [16:20] sh1 Cool.. wish all answers were that simple.. enjoy [16:20] if there's no "input device" section in xorg file for my mouse, will creating one present errors? [16:20] okay, i will lock now and go home [16:20] thanks again [16:20] shannon, that and it is able to backup incrementally. It preseres timestamps and permissions. Can even copy over xattrs and acls [16:21] np [16:21] I tried before and messed something up somehow [16:21] dman, Is this a logitec mouse [16:21] how do you register a nick on this server? [16:21] g9 yes [16:21] Hi if you move from OEM install to End-User do you lose all your files you had on the OEM install? [16:21] freenode recommends setting up your nick in this fashion: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup (all steps are required for unaffiliated cloaks) smoalne [16:21] !register | smoalne [16:21] smoalne: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode [16:21] shannon, no, it's not quite that sophisticated. It's designed to avoid sending any bits over a wire that are already present on the other side. So it does a simple hash (probably md5, I'm not sure) on each file before sending it [16:21] Does anyone know how I get 256 colors in gnome-terminal? [16:22] !register | smoalne [16:22] smoalne, please see my private message [16:22] is the rt73usb driver working fine? [16:22] rdx,r u there [16:22] milesd: yeah, that's what I read in the man page. But it sounds like that has no effect on correctness [16:22] dman, I dont have any answers, just many people with issues and logitec mice/ moose / meeses' [16:22] In Intrepid, how can I have gnome-system-monitor start with the Resources tab window open? [16:22] shannon, so you can be sure as far as you trust whatever hash rsync is doing (you can probably find that in the man page) that the files you copied are the same in the place you copied them *to* as they were on the pace you copied them from [16:22] shoot [16:22] shannon, ...no, actually you can't [16:22] Gnea, it works, thx :D [16:22] shannon, do rsync a second time [16:22] GnomeAfterAll: cheers :) [16:22] logitech and linux don't work well together eh? [16:22] <_moro_bana_> I have a problem with video play on a fresh install,there is flickering when the video plays.advice? [16:23] shannon, and if you see it go without transferring anything, *then* you can trust it as far as you trust that hash [16:23] dman, Some work fine.. like my logitec trackball [16:23] Bot -> he visto ya 40 joins... xD [16:23] _moro_bana_: does it flicker with mplayer or vlc? [16:23] [3]+ Stopped error 2>&1 | more<---how to check this one? [16:23] milesd -- ok, thanks [16:23] _moro_bana_: system prefrences > appearance > disable desktop effect and see if it works [16:23] Can someone help me make some optimizations to my system? I have 1gb of RAM and a P4 3ghz processor, but my laptop is super slow. It's embarrasing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. With just a few apps open my memory is almost completely used up and everything is really slow [16:23] gizmo, fg 3 [16:23] Bot -> he visto ya 41 joins... xD [16:23] you suck - I wanted the trackball and can't find one here in Vancouver [16:23] :) [16:23] Gnea, by the way, have you tried the game Savage, it's a fun game that's available for linux, and it's free :) [16:23] bas bot xD [16:23] dman: Eh? I'm using one Logitech keyboard and two mice with two Linux machines. [16:23] Bot -> he visto ya 42 joins... xD [16:23] _moro_bana_, Have you tried with cmpiz effects turned off [16:23] shannon, if you see it transfer something in the second pass, that thing was corrupted [16:23] <_moro_bana_> Gnea: all playes [16:23] dman, Sorry I got the last one. [16:24] Seveas, nothin happen [16:24] shannon, so make sure you do it as many times as you need to so it doesn't transfer something on the N'th pass [16:24] GnomeAfterAll: i prefer Battle for Wesnoth :) [16:24] error 2>&1 | more<--only this out.. [16:24] gizmo, then the job is now finished I guess :) [16:24] Gnea, ok :) [16:24] anyone out there using the new g9 [16:24] <_moro_bana_> Ali_ix: it worked [16:24] from Logitech [16:24] Seveas, how to check my ubuntu is in good proces?

[17:07] Gnea: Since the install of Ubuntu [17:07] k9copy can i copy with that tool dvds to pc [17:07] when i try to install an application i get an error that says "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem". what should i do? :-s [17:07] Vimes: try creating a new user and logging in with that, see if the error still occurs. [17:07] abhishek: run sudo dpkg --configure -a [17:07] abhishek, do what it says [17:07] Gnea: tried, failed [17:07] dr_willis: hey, so the webcam works in cheese. but its really dark and i cant seem to find any settings to change that.

[17:09] Vimes: why didn't you upgrade to intrepid ibex? something about LTS support? [17:09] !ibex [17:09] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Features: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [17:09] junk_head: try selecting another kernel in grub menu and see if it works [17:10] thanks Pici. that worked. :-) [17:10] Ali_ix: what is the command for the grub menu? [17:10] Vimes: go for it [17:10] I got an ISO of gParted live that I could burn and boot with. But is there any program that is able to make that iso into an bootable usb? [17:10] junk_head: no command needed, you can see that during bootupo [17:10] Ali_ix upgrade to interpid ibex ..is that the new distro= [17:10] Making a new user and trying now, thank's for the help so far ^^ [17:10] will elisa work for capture devices?

[17:13] it's a key on your keybord, right to the space [17:13] so alt=space? [17:14] no, near the space bar [17:14] Hey people, I am still using an Ubuntu 8.04 , did 'aptitude safe-upgrade' now my system doesn't boot.. something with initrd i believe ... [17:14] alt+space? [17:14] Does anyone know what might be the problem [17:14] ? [17:14] dman: Its not a key thats on US keyboards. [17:14] what you have to do with altgr?

[17:15] Seems to be lots of people today that got broken systems from upgrading, any idea what the culprit is yet? (Sorry I've been doing work stuff have just been peeking back at the channel every now and again) [17:15] How can I check outputs xrandr is able to use? [17:15] composite characters [17:15] creolife left too soon for his answer echo 4 > /sys/module/gspca/parameters/gamma [17:15] use Alt instead and ascii codes [17:15] ASULutzy: I blame nvidia, personally. [17:15] Wingard: type xrandr in a terminal? [17:15] kk, thanks again [17:15] brb [17:16] Wingard: Does xrandr --verbose give you what you need? [17:16] * Gnea notes that I have upgraded, and the reboot button has been showing it's blue-colors [17:16] Scunizi: That shows available modes, I need available outputs.

Be sure to make USB bootable in your BIOS [17:18] Back! Problem with slow log-inn time and Gnome acting weird not solved [17:18] Scunizi: xrandr --addmode requires an output to add the mode, but I can't figure out the output to use. [17:18] good day all... [17:18] Nautilus fails to connect to a certain ftp server. says "Sorry, could not display all the contents of "/ on $server": Could not connect to host" [17:18] Command line ftp and filezilla work fine. Any help, please? [17:19] any chance there are some dhcpd gurus handy? I would like to try and debug the vendor-class-identifier field on incoming dhcp requests, and cant seem to do it. [17:19] Wingard: man xrandr has lots of info on outputs. "Per-output options" --output selects an output to reconfigure. Use either the name of the output or the XID.. [17:20] the dhcpd -d option with the shipped dhcpd server in ubuntu 8.04 doesn't give very detailed output... am I missing another option to get more info? [17:20] Scunizi: I already checked the man page. The problem is that I don't know the name of the output. [17:20] Gnea: Do you recall which packages were in the recent update? [17:21] using intrepid... is there a way to display a list of software updates that have been installed and when? [17:21] I do not see a wireles specifically, in my version 8.04 worked perfect but the 8.10 does not work. only happens in that particular network in the rest of network works well [17:21] hi, I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, my networkmanager applet is showing that my wired connection "is not manageable" [17:22] xjunior: you have a static ip address? [17:22] omnydevi, nop...... [17:22] Wingard: is this nvidia? have you also tried using nvidia-settings? [17:22] xjunior: you may edited /etc/network/interfaces file manually [17:23] Scunizi: Yes, I've tried nvidia-settings. That is an utterly worthless utility. [17:23] Wingard: are you trying for dual monitors? [17:23] Scunizi: No, I'm trying for a resolution above 1024x768. [17:24] Ali_ix, nop, never [17:24] http://goosh.org [17:24] Ali_ix, but I think that something is setting the IP instead of networkmanager [17:24] Pici: linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic and a few others... [17:24] daredevilthere, dont paste random links here [17:25] is this ok? http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/1391/partitionsul9.jpg [17:25] Wingard: is the size you need available in the list displayed with xrandr in a terminal? [17:25] bazhang: k sorry [17:25] Pici: linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic_2.6.27-11.23_i386.deb [17:25] xjunior: please paste content of /etc/network/intefarces file and give us the link [17:25] Pici: hrm, i still have linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic_2.6.27-11.22_i386.deb, will probably revert back to that if it doesn't boot correctly [17:25] i am partitioning my hard drive to install vista and ubuntu, plus several more partitions.. is this ok http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/1391/partitionsul9.jpg ?? [17:25] Scunizi: No, nor is it displayed in nvidia-settings, or System > Preferences > System Resolution. I do know the video card and monitor are capable of the resolution I want, considering it worked fine in Windows. [17:26] Scun - you arent using the nvidia driver [17:26] er [17:26] Wingard: you are not using the driver then [17:27] could somebody check the sanity of my partitioning? http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/1391/partitionsul9.jpg [17:27] Wingard: dumb question but I gotta ask, did you turn on the restricted nvidia driver in System>Admi>Hardware drivers? or install nvidia's driver directly from their site .. or none of the above? [17:27] omnydevi: Xorg.conf has Driver "nvidia", but it seems to be being ignored. [17:27] Wingard: that explains much of the issue. Click System - Administration - Hardware Drivers [17:27] Ali_ix, http://paste.milk-it.net/1019 [17:27] Gnea: well, -11 is from proposed, so theres always a risk there,. [17:27] Pici: of course :) [17:27] Wingard: do you see nvidia as being activated? If so, which version? [17:27] Scunizi: Used System > Administration > Hardware drivers [17:27] wolter: What is the unpartitioned space for? [17:27] ASULutzy: tu extend the partitions when necessary [17:28] omnydevi: One moment. [17:28] roger [17:28] Wingard: xorg shouldn't have anything in it really.. just generic stuff. did you reboot after turning on the Hardware drivers? [17:28] ASULutzy: i want to know if i will be able to extend the win-main partition,... [17:28] hello, when i execute the following command : history, i have only some line, can i change the number of line who appears ? thanks [17:28] Omnydevi: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) [17:28] Pici: here's a list of what was upgraded: http://pastebin.com/m7b289c35 [17:28] Wingard: I can't get 177 to work on mine either...is 173 recommended? [17:29] omnydevi: It isn't, but I could try it. [17:29] Is Flash still slow on linux or is there some kind of update I can do? [17:29] xjunior: well, you didi manually comnfigure them, just comment lines that match you current interface (eth0?) and enter this command: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:29] Wingard: i would give that a whirl mate. For some reason or another 177 gives me utter hell [17:29] Wingard: Vs. 177 has issues with some cards.. what card do you have.? [17:29] subone, explain slow [17:29] Scunizi: GeForce 6200 [17:29] xjunior: then you should be able to manage eth0 through network manager [17:29] hi [17:29] Pici: highly interesting that the -dev package was updated, but the base libc6 package was not. [17:29] does anybody have a germen xorg file? [17:29] Wingard, I use the older driver on my6600 [17:29] i got troubles with 8.10 :S [17:29] Wingard: go with the 173 driver.. it will/should work great with the 6200. That's a good series of cards. [17:29] Wingard: i would deactivate 177, reboot, and activate 173 and reboot again [17:30] ASULutzy: sow how do you see it? [17:30] so* [17:30] Alright, I'll give it a whirl. [17:30] :) [17:30] Back in a litle while. [17:30] Wingard: we'll be here! [17:30] Also, screw rebooting, alt + ctrl + backspace. === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [17:30] wolter: I sort of think leaving that much space unallocated is silly, but it should work [17:30] Ali_ix, it's still not manageable [17:30] Wingard: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to restart [17:30] Anyone has Cedega 7 installed? How big is it? [17:30] Wingard: not sure if that will do it or not, i just switched so i still have rebooting habits :( [17:31] Wingard: damn winblows nasty habits!!! [17:31] heath|work: Flash movies are very choppy depending on the site they are viewed from, for example Youtube is mostly watchable except itr is barely responsive in full screen mode and Metacafe is not even watchable, Flash games are just pointless to even try [17:31] omnydevi: I switched last night. I used hacked Windows XP, so I didn't restart often. <_< [17:31] subone, that is usually a video driver issue [17:31] Wingard: you'll find a lot of adventure and fun here in linux land. [17:31] ASULutzy: but i will be able to resize win-main and every other logical partition to my pleasure? [17:31] xjunior: well, you may need to restart your network manager too, which i dont know how to do that individually, but you can try a logout/login [17:31] heath|work: then why is it that i only have this issue with Flash? [17:31] ASULutzy: ofcourse, without loosing any data [17:32] Scunizi: I've used Linux before, though most recently it was Debian 4.0 before it started sucking. [17:32] hi, I am having trouble connecting with ekiga. [17:32] i can watch videos from files (avi) just fine [17:32] Anyway, be right back.

I went through the updates list last night and deselected 12 packages that seemed relevant to the issue, let the rest upgrade and restarted. Internet worked fine. What from this list http://paste.ubuntu.com/102226/ might cause that issue? [17:43] Ali_ix: thanks [17:43] Gnea: you got something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/102259/ [17:43] wolter, cool [17:43] ASULutzy: but he's now running ubuntu, and i want to help him salvage any work before he tries anything else... i'm wondering if we can rescue the fs with an ubuntu live-cd session?

[17:57] ASULutzy: yes! i see that the only problem is to backup. reformat (with inode 128).. and restore. But i dont remember during the installation being asked for the inode size.. -_- [17:57] Well Jack_Sparrow, I guess you're too busy to answer. I will go ahead and do it anyway. Wish me the best of lucks! [17:57] albacker: afaik you aren't asked, and I'm not really sure how you'd go about changing it in the live-cd [17:57] Ali_ix: I know my internet works now, but it just shuts off randomly. [17:57] salut [17:58] the webcam seems to be connected internall to the usb bus, and uses the uvc driver, which says it supports device 05ca:18a1, but I've got 05ca:18a0, and I'm going to try updating the uvc driver [17:58] Hello all, some one here use Screenlets ? [17:58] ya des français ici ? [17:58] albacker: One of the reasons I don't use Intrepid on my desktop and stuck with Hardy [17:58] OriWB: what is the connection type?

[18:00] albacker: You'll have to format the drive and setup the partitions first and then just tell Ubuntu to install to the partition that already exists [18:00] Ali_ix: laptop, connected wireless, and there is a router in the other room [18:01] any one can help me turn on my wireless adapter [18:01] hello i would like to remount / on another partition /dev/hda2 how to do?

[18:02] salut à toutes [18:02] OriWB: you need to make sure which is failing, your wireless connection to router or the internet connection, once it is disconnected, try to check the connections by other PCs (if available) or using wired connection to router [18:02] chris_, english here; #ubuntu-fr for francais [18:02] oops [18:02] OriWB: then, either you may need to call your ISP support, or just check your wireless drivers/configuration [18:02] albacker: Say "/" is /dev/sda5. You'll want to do mkfs.ext3 -I 128 /dev/sda5 [18:02] Ali_ix: my connection stays. It says my connectionis goodeven after i loose internet [18:03] Ali_ix: how do i check my wireless drivers/ configuration? [18:03] albacker: And then once you've got that formatted correctly, just tell Ubuntu to install to that partition (no need to tell it to format or do anything screwy to the partition after doing that) [18:03] OriWB: it is your connection to your router, and the 'good' is a measure for SIGNAL not the connection to internet [18:03] albacker: Forums seem to be having some problems, but http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:CMFfz1rnG7QJ:ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D979523+setting+inode+size&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us [18:03] Ali_ix: exactly [18:03] ASULutzy: you're telling me to format it manually and not let ubuntu do the job.. right? most of the times i just put a lil tick on the format square.. so that means 'this partition needs formating' :D [18:03] albacker: Yes, you'll have to do it manually afaik [18:03] Ali_ix: so how do i check?

I reformatted and went through the updates list last night one by one and deselected 12 packages that seemed relevant to the issue, let the rest upgrade and restarted. Internet worked fine. What from this list http://paste.ubuntu.com/102226/ might cause that issue?

Thanks for the help. Bye! [18:12] OriWB: well, its not bunch of command or wisard or something to find out what is wrong there, you need to trouble shoudl the networking first and then mess with wifi driver, which i have no idea how!

And to see the parts of the screen you cant actually see, you move the mouse and the screen moves.. to right, top, left, bottom... its like one 50" xterm running on a 14" display [18:12] im having an issue and not sure what to blame it on but heres the problem so maybe I can figure it out: When I restart the appearance setting are reset to all off and my compiz settings are also reset === Chris` is now known as `Chris [18:14] Ali_ix: do you know someone who does?

[18:31] Gnea: Wait wait. [18:31] Wingard: if you want to edit xorg.conf, you need to be able to tell it how to get the card and monitor to sync up. [18:31] Gnea: Radius PrecisionView 21 Color Display. Can this help you at all? [18:31] Jack_Sparrow: do i need to install gspca drivers? [18:31] nic1, maybe gparted might do it [18:31] Wingard: the same goes with any linux distribution. [18:31] creolife, I have it here. not sure why you would not have /sys/modules.. if you are running ubuntu [18:31] Wingard: the question isn't whether it will help me, it's whether it will help YOU. let's see... [18:31] can anybody tell me or point me to a doc as to what to do to add .udeb's to the install tree? [18:32] sarmisak: No, i've tried it already [18:32] Nobody knows how to get surround to work in ubuntu with a soundcard with dynamic jacks? [18:32] Gnea: It's a terrible monitor. The maximum frequency it can take is about 54Hz [18:32] nic1, then try adding it into fstab? [18:32] Jack_Sparrow: well i could always just format the hd and reinstall 8.10 altogether. its not a big deal cause i have all my files on an external hd. and hopefully things will work. [18:32] Wingard: well, google gave me this: http://www.monitorworld.com/Monitors/radius/2103precisionview21.html [18:33] is there a way i can make qt4 fonts like how gtk fonts are? [18:33] Wingard: it even says what the VertRefresh and Horiz rules are [18:33] sarmisak: yes I could do so easily, but I don't know if this disturbs Ubuntu wonderful hardware-managment-system (I'm not familiar with HAL) [18:33] Gnea: Seems to be it. === bobby is now known as odium1 [18:33] Gnea: Though I disagree on the H Freq/V Freq.

The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [18:36] joe-mac: #ubuntu-server does exist [18:37] anyone know how i can get my Lexmark x3350 to work on this system ? [18:37] Gnea: I don't suppose you have something on hand with everything the Monitor section can take? [18:37] thanks Pici and Gnea [18:37] nic1, no it won't hurt it in any way [18:38] ungh. my work machine is an old gigabit ethernet g4. building cmake taxes the system to its limits. [18:38] nic1, just add your disk in fstab [18:39] jrib: You happen to be around? [18:39] why do my gnome panels always jump to the second screen when activating the second screen with xrandr? i use two screens , laptop screen as main, externel right of laptop screen [18:39] sarmisak: Thank you! But in the meanwhile I've found disk-manager; a GUI that does it easily with UUIDs and such a stuff :) [18:39] Hi, how do you make a TEST data iso (test cd) with mkisofs? Maybe make a test image first or something? TIA [18:39] nic1, that might be a better solution :D [18:39] Wingard: like that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=87166&postcount=3 [18:39] I'm trying to set up imwheel with my MX Revolution, anyone have experience with it?

[18:44] byte_slave: easy, set his homedir to /bin/false [18:45] Pici: No, nor does the channel have anything useful to contribute. [18:45] Pici: never does... [18:45] byte_slave: then he cannot log in, but will have a home dir etc. an even better solution would be to set up a sandbox for ftp/scp access only - but as a quick fixme, that should work [18:45] CentHOGG, what do you mean by "test iso"? [18:45] Wingard: well, if the easy way out is the way you wish to go, then by all means. [18:45] Wingard: I'm sorry you feel that way. You can check the forums or elsewhere, but I'm going to have to ask you to keep the other comments to yourself.

At the moment I've got Bookdisposition, Revisions, Comment settings above Title, Menu settings etc, and I want them to be at the bottom as they are rarely changed.

[18:49] Why cant i use more than one sound app at a time. this is rediculous! [18:49] sarmisak: bs=680MB count=1 or just a bunch of files that add up to 680ish?

[18:50] CentHOGG, no no [18:50] Hey all [18:51] CentHOGG, bs=1MB is the memory size, if you increase it you might just crash your pc [18:51] oh [18:51] or print all installed packages and use grep [18:51] How are i send files from bluetooth usfing terminal [18:51] judgen, because they hog the soundcard. You need to make sure both are using the same sound mixer software (ALSA/Pulseaudio) and make sure that software is the only thing using the card. (Not always easy to do I admit, and I'm certainly no expert at it) [18:51] CentHOGG, that command creates only 1 (one) file but creates in 100 steps of 1MB [18:51] sonne, sure I've got a minute. What do you want to know? [18:51] anyone here knows how to get started on a MX Revolution? [18:51] regeya: thanks...let me also check that!

[19:29] hi all. linux noob here. anyone familiar with the cli able to help me with chmod command please? i need to change the permissions of a folder in my home dir (which are currently root i think) to, my user so i can read, write, delete etc. [19:29] i need help with the keyboard shortcut settings of gnome-terminal. I want to disable a shortcut, but I can't figure out how. [19:29] starting samba daemons... [fail] [19:29] manual doesnt work anymore :P [19:29] cheesemonkey, sudo chown -R cheesemonkey:cheesemonkey /home/cheesemonky [19:29] cheesemonkey: sudo chmod /directory 755 [19:30] peeps[work], Check to see if it is a shortcut in compiz as they sometimes conflict [19:30] how can I force all users to log off and kill their processes? I need this to do a backup [19:31] Jack_Sparrow, I click on a shortcut and it prompts me for "New accelerator". But I don't know what to press to tell it to just disable. anything I press it will try to interpret as the new shortcut to use. [19:31] So [19:31] just put in the same one as before [19:31] Jack_Sparrow, i don't use compiz, it's not a conflict, I just don't know how to tell it I don't want to use this shortcut [19:31] peeps[work]: iirc backspace removes the accelerator [19:32] Pici, thanks that worked [19:32] anyone know how to get the MX Revolution's thumb(media?) wheel to function with imwheel? [19:32] Ever since I installed ubuntu (8.10) my sound stops working after roughly 24 hours. I start up my box, sound works fine, I listen to it all day, then I turn off the sound playing application and go home. When I come back the next morning and 'unlock' the machine, sound no longer works. I don't have any really useful error messages from the GUI components and attempting to access the system->sounds configuration option tends to hang when I click "test" [19:32] sudo update-rc.d -f samba remove <--- /etc/init.d/samba start = [fail] [19:33] What do I need to do to reset my ubuntu sound? [19:33] zwobble, [19:33] zwobble, sudo /etc/init.d/samba start :) [19:34] The only useful error I get is: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [19:34] ubuntu is great! [19:34] hmmz, it seems to work :) [19:34] :) [19:34] hope it doesnt start at boot now [19:34] I recall at one point reading some documentation that told me to reset some init.d commands, and then my sound worked again [19:34] viva ubuntu! [19:34] But I can't remember whwat I tried. [19:34] since i dont fancy sharing @ college [19:35] zwobble, everything in /etc/init.d has to be run as root :) [19:35] thanks lieter :) [19:35] does anyone know how to install the iwlwifi driver in 8.10 ? [19:35] I used a sudo lieter ;) [19:35] but it was still running, hence i could not start it again 8) [19:36] zwobble, yup, it happens [19:36] I thought it was quiet an achievement that i got samba working :P [19:36] Is it possible to check if a prosess is running and start it if its not? [19:36] being a windows user who got pissed at vista ^^ [19:36] zwobble, you see your startup sequence by looking at /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc2.d, in that order. Interesting reading :) [19:36] Hey. How do i check i my graphic card i properly installed and working 100% I've have problems running google earth and a danish java app [19:37] nickrud, so thats how you can tweak bootup time as well? [19:37] solexious which process [19:37] since i have this tool running that monitors the bootup time :) [19:37] can I redirect the stdout to a bash variable? [19:37] zwobble, yes, carefully [19:37] could some one pastebin me a typical source.list for 8.10 [19:38] just found that I have two icons for the screensaver in my preferences. How do I delete one of them? [19:38] Not going to mess around there :P [19:38] soren_schantz: ehehehe.... have a tuborg i'm sure that gonna help the danish java app :) [19:38] mobilephreak, a couple, a perl script being one of them [19:38] bootchart its called :) [19:38] zwobble, rcS don't mess with. rc2.d can be useful for identifying things you don't use and don't need [19:38] hi here [19:38] solexious_ ps -aef | grep
