[00:00] also could be useful if you're trying to save energy. No sense in running a system at full power if it's in idle [00:00] When I elect to eject my iPod from the panel applet, it tells me I don't have permission. [00:00] How do I give myself permission? [00:00] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/103327/ for the idjc [00:00] kevinw_, right click the channel and check "hide join/part messages" [00:00] It's very educational to customize your kernel. With the latest kernel, you could really see a benefit with ext4. [00:00] ah! YES THANKS [00:00] Anyone know? [00:00] DigitalFiz: file a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com if one does not already exist [00:00] oops sorry hit the caps lovk [00:01] When I installed, I chose reiserFS for / and /home. was that wise? [00:01] Well, it's a killer filesytem ;-) [00:02] If it doesn't kill your files, it will kill your wife :3 [00:02] hey [00:02] are there any downsides I should know about? :-@ [00:02] please don't make those "jokes" here [00:02] look2thestars, well guess what? grubs must be autheticated error 32 when i try to get into recover mode. does this mean i set a pw? one i obviously forgot. [00:02] how do I remvoe frostwire from my desktop [00:02] JHook101: uninstall it using Synaptic [00:03] hi all [00:03] reiser is okay, there's quite a few filesystems... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems [00:03] Is there any way to get a Mac to stream audio to a pulseaudio sound server? I've got a Linux machine connected to my speakers, but it would be very convenient if I could also use the speakers with my Mac. [00:03] mogi22: try adding " init=/bin/bash" to the end of the normal kernel line instead then. (pressing 'e' in the grub menu lets you edit it) [00:03] Or, is there some alternative solution that might get me closer? [00:04] I've found "jack", but it seems immature, and an alternative to all of pulseaudio's niceness. Is this incorrect? [00:04] help me please (( [00:04] mogi22, yeah, it's got a a password apparently. You've booted up from a linux floppy and try resetting ? [00:04] jeffwheeler: not sure about pulse audio but VLC is multi-platform and will stream media across a network [00:05] Zloy what do you need help with? [00:05] look2thestars i can boot from a linux floppy and reset the grub pw? using hal91 or some other linux floppy? [00:05] Titan8990: that's something to look at; thanks. [00:05] I keep getting this cryptic error when I go to apt-get install something... it reads as follows: E: system-tools-backends: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Anyone know what's up with that? [00:05] When I elect to eject my iPod from the panel applet, it tells me I don't have permission. [00:05] How do I give myself permission? [00:05] Hey, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 64-bit, whenever I play games with 3d acceleration like Tremulous or GridWars, the graphics look fine but the screen keeps blinking. Anyone know why this might be happening? [00:05] Mindvirus: you might not own the ipod [00:05] look2thestars> with ubuntu that i install yesterday (( [00:05] I own the iPod. [00:06] I can unmount it as root through the console. [00:06] You can boot from a linux floppy and work on the other system. If nothing else, you could see about checking the permissions. [00:06] Zloy, what's the prob ? [00:06] jrib, pushing e does nothing, by grub menu do you mean the menu where i can choose amongst kernels and recover modes? [00:06] MindVirus: well if you use root you might not own it [00:06] look2thestars> may be in private? [00:06] MindVirus: have you tried chown? [00:06] BLZ, and what should I chown? [00:06] mogi22: yes [00:06] http://www.toms.net/rb/ for a great linux floppy [00:07] jrib, ok so e did nothing, it does say press p to get into more features ... w/ pw of course [00:07] mogi22: press e after using the arrow keys to select a kernel and before pressing enter [00:07] the ipod... i'm a bit rusty on the syntax but i'd try sudo chown [device name] 700 [00:07] Zloy, why not tell me here? Maybe it'll resolve your issue faster if more eyes are looking at it. [00:07] look2thestars, actually i have tom's floppy too! [00:07] mogi22: there isn't a grub password set by default, did you set one? [00:07] MindVirus: or maybe it's sudo chown 700 [device name] ... yeah i think it's that [00:07] mogi22, that's the grub menu, where you see the kernels [00:07] look2thestars> here i can mix your frases with others. ne hichu meshat drugim [00:07] is there a way to configure multiple keyboard and mice for one comp ? === jgoguen is now known as LinuxFredBot [00:08] BLZ, that wouldn't work. [00:08] mogi22, great minds think alike ! [00:08] jrib, i did that and e does nothing. and yeah i'm guessing i did set one on original install/config. b/c its asking for it now [00:08] BLZ, chown changes the owner. [00:08] tom_eats_lives just plug them in and they will work? [00:08] chmod changes the permissions. [00:08] 700 is permissions. === LinuxFredBot is now known as jgoguen [00:08] mogi22: so put in the password [00:08] look2thestars, so what do i do once i boot from tom or hal91 to rm grub pw [00:08] MindVirus: oh yeah, duh. Try chmod then [00:08] And 700 means only the owner can read, write, and execute. [00:08] hmmm [00:08] Zloy, what language is that ?> [00:08] BLZ, I have tried chmodding the /media/ipod directory. [00:08] MindVirus: you want everybody else to be able to rwx? [00:08] jrib, oh if life were so fortuitous [00:08] To 777. [00:08] look2thestars> Russian [00:08] It doesn't help. [00:09] jrib, i dont even recall setting a pw, so no way i'm going to recall the pw [00:09] MindVirus: but try it with /dev/sda1 or whatever [00:09] Anyone know why my screen might blink during games with 3d-acceleration? [00:09] Good call. [00:09] mogi22, might look at editing grub menu ? I'd see about removing the line with the passwd [00:09] jrib, if you can vanquish the pw w/ a boot floppy (as i hope you can) then seems like grub pw is futile [00:09] mogi22: try your common ones... try your account's password... in the future try not to set passwords you will forget :) [00:09] MindVirus: yeah sorry... i wasn't clear about that [00:09] jrib, yeah i'm trying several now [00:09] BLZ, nice! [00:09] Thanks. [00:09] mogi22: sure except you weren't able to mount the partition with the floppy [00:10] Should have thought of that. :( [00:10] ZLoy, cool. Welcome. Post at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and then post the link here. It might be easier for you. [00:10] MindVirus; haha it's always something silly, isn't it? Glad I could help [00:10] I have Ubuntu acting as my gateway/router but now my internet is extremely slow [00:10] look2thestars, what do you mean edit the grub menu? ... yeah what jrib said [00:10] look2thestars> Can you help me? [00:10] I thought adding user to the boot line in fstab would take care of that. [00:10] jrib, so am i correct that my only hope is to recall this pw? [00:10] Somethief, yes , however i mean each one acts individually , so two people can type at same time [00:10] Zloy, I don't know until you post some information. [00:10] mogi22: no, you can boot a live cd [00:10] Doonz: there are specific linux distros just for use as a router/firewall [00:10] I keep getting this error when i apt-get install: E: system-tools-backends: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [00:10] look2thestars> i cann't write in forum any thing - code page is to bad ((( [00:10] what gives? [00:11] jrib, well ok other than that [00:11] Titan8990: want to use the ubuntu box . i dont have other pc's kicking around [00:11] Any way to "upgrade" to ext4? [00:11] look2thestars> may you know who russian and can help me? [00:11] tom_eats_lives uhm you are trying to get inputs hooked in two different applications or whats your goal? [00:11] Does anyone know how to version control a website with subversion? [00:11] Zloy just look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ , and if it doesn't work for you , let me know. [00:11] anyone know the sudo command to install Sun Java Runtime Environment [00:11] MindVirus: ext4 is not stable [00:11] MindVirus: lol you play a dangerous game... don't you have to patch the kernel for that? [00:11] Not stable, eh? [00:12] BLZ, no, it's already in the kernel, I thought. [00:12] Zloy, I don't know Russian, but you're doing pretty good with English. I speak a few other languages. [00:12] JHook101: use apt-cache search java jre [00:12] JHook101: you can install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' and JRE is one of the many things installed... i dunno if that helps [00:12] mogi22: figuring out hal91 I guess [00:12] MindVirus: i thought not, but maybe you're right... i dunno [00:12] mogi22: I assume you have no working operating system anywhere in your house? [00:12] Aye, since it's not stable, I won't take my chances. [00:13] look2thestars> My English too bad for posting my problem, I am russian, [00:13] mogi22, I'd see about booting up with the linux boot floppy, then mounting the hard drive, then doing some magic to enable you to bypass PAM authentication. [00:13] if I'm hosting my own website with apache2, is there any way to know how many people have visited it? Or do I have to get one of those counter scripts? [00:13] jrib, do you mean figuring out hal91 to mount the disk? well i have this one i'm on on the laptop but it has no rj45 [00:13] Somethief, yes sort of , i have one workstation , with 2 screens , i want to have separate mouse / keyboard input [00:13] koolkat: is the website static pages? if so then you could set up a cron job to add it to subversion. [00:13] Zloy, give it a try. please. [00:13] !RU|Zloy_Moder [00:13] Zloy_Moder: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [00:13] MindVirus: MindVirus: actually, it looks like wikipedia has it marked as stable as of 10/2008 [00:13] mogi22: if you have an enclosure for the hard disk, you could use that [00:13] Zloy-Moder: hope that helps =) [00:14] ubbutu - Thx [00:14] MindVirus: I still wouldn't take me chances personally [00:14] look2thestars, i'd love that method/option but how do i mount the hd from floppy boot? it says doesnt recognize device and that i need to load driver for it. [00:14] jrib, not even sure what an enclosure is [00:14] tom_eats_lives sorry dont think i can help you but guess that should be possible but might not be very easy process, tried google? [00:14] Is the hard drive SATA ? [00:14] Morchuboo: No, they are PHP files, I im trying to make it so that other people can edit the website [00:14] MindVirus: If you are looking for something better, you can try XFS but i can be picky about the controller [00:15] look2thestars, nope ata [00:15] look2thestars, old school here baby [00:15] koolkat: easiest would be to use a crm. silverstripe or concrete5 are both very good [00:15] Somethief, no , not at all , thought i would ask here see if there was any tips first .. will start googling now [00:15] Mogi22, I use ATA on my older computers, you shouldn't have a prob using Tom's Root boot [00:15] look2thestars, toms has same prob which is why i went to hal91 [00:15] koolkat: most sorry - cms, not crm [00:16] look2thestars, cant i install the driver from a 2nd floppy? [00:16] look2thestars, i just dont know how to find the driver? [00:16] mogi22, I'm trying to see if Tom's has installable modules... but it should be able to see an ATA drive natively. [00:16] There are other linux floppy distros. [00:17] mogi22, can you post me some of the information, like error messages to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? [00:17] look2thestars, what others? i only found those 2 [00:17] Ahh... there's a security distro from someone named Franz a long time ago. [00:17] koolkat: cms systems tend to have some sort of versioning in them. You could do it yourself but would be a lot of work to add history to the data in the db. [00:17] look2thestars, well ubuntu might be on v9.10 by the time that loads for me [00:18] mogi22, sorry, sorry. Hmm. so when you try to mount the hard drive, what error do you get ? [00:18] look2thestars, but the error msg is simple "kernel doesnt not recognize /dev/sda1 as block device. try insmod driver" [00:18] mogi22, thanks, just a sec. [00:18] Morchuboo: I kinda cant use a cms, this is the website for my school district and is already written, but me and some of my friends was going to make it better and we needed to set up a subverion system so that some students can edit the code and upload it [00:19] mogi22: that is a common error when /etc/fstab is configured wrong [00:19] look2thestars, someone on hal91 had same issue and the replies were load the driver already! but how [00:19] Titan8990, sda is not in fstab [00:19] Hello I am getting Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] when I update. [00:19] try dmesg | egrep '^hd[a-z]' [00:19] okay so, i need help [00:19] mogi22: boot partition? [00:20] i log into ubuntu and just my background shows up [00:20] no taskbars or menus load at all [00:20] all i can do is move my cursor [00:20] mog22, i'm looking for hal91 info [00:20] any ideas? [00:20] gurph: what graphics card? [00:20] Hello I am getting Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] when I update. Can someone please help? [00:21] Titan8990, not sure what you mean by boot partittion [00:21] nvidia something or other... lemme check [00:21] Titan8990, i'm trying to mount my root partition [00:21] mogi22, It hasn't been updated since 1998. [00:21] mogi22: your root partition needs to be in /etc/fstab [00:21] Titan8990, it is, but not when i boot w/ floppy [00:21] NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200 [00:22] look2thestars, toms was last updated in 02 [00:22] look2thestars, they're all old [00:22] gurph: i don't think that should be the problem... is this a new install, or has it worked before, and now it doesnt? [00:22] gurph: log in to recovery mode from grub [00:22] hi guys i could use some help [00:22] i'm kinda up Sh*t street [00:22] gurph: and check /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:22] my encrypted volume no longer mounts [00:22] gurph: and verify that your drivers are listed as "nv" [00:22] can someone tell me the front end to compiz? [00:22] http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Floppy/ [00:22] tried it but i dont know what to do in recovery mode [00:23] i entered the correct password and it tells me that it is incorrect [00:23] the config tool is ccsm caitlin [00:23] i've checked this xorg.conf thing before and the whole thing was blank [00:23] gurph: i don't think this is an issue w/ your graphics card [00:23] koolkat: ahh i see. You could make an upload script that the students use. This script could take a copy of the page by "wget" ing the page before making the changes and put it in the subversion repo. Another alternative would be to use WebHTTrack daily, hourly or whatever to create a complete copy of the whole site. [00:23] gurph: has it ever worked, or is this a new install, and all of a sudden, it didn't work? [00:23] gurph: from recovery mode, you have to do the following command: [00:23] it has been running for a few months now [00:23] caitlin, compizconfig-settings-manager [00:23] gurph: dkpg --reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:24] Hey guys. [00:24] Slight problem. [00:24] gurph: unless you are confortable writing your own xorg.conf [00:24] http://kdenlive.org/forum/new-question-problem-konsole [00:24] gurph: can you right click the desktop and bring up propeties? [00:24] Can someone read it and comment? [00:24] i am totally clueless im trying to find and install ia32-sun-java6-bin [00:24] indygunfreak: nope [00:24] gurph: well, you can try reconfiguring xorg..... strange problem though [00:24] !ask|VideoSmith [00:24] VideoSmith: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:25] Got it :P [00:25] koolkat: Ideally you should convince them to start using a cms. Much better for multi editor sites. Could maybe set up a copy of the site in a cms on your own machine to give them a demonstration. [00:25] VideoSmith: no problem =) It's just that you're more likely to get an answer if you just go ahead and ask [00:25] okay im going to go try this... it's installed on the computer im using now. dualbooted xp and ubuntu [00:25] be right back [00:25] thanks [00:26] anyone know how to get ia32-sun-java6-bin [00:26] Morchuboo: wouldnt i have to port the site to a cms? === ubuntu is now known as netsurf === netsurf is now known as guest223 [00:26] i entered the correct password and it tells me that it is incorrect [00:26] I unfortunatly deleted my /usr/share/icons & now have some default icons missing. Can someone provide me with a way to get the default-contents of /usr/share/icons ? Thank you! [00:26] can someone tell me the front end to compiz? [00:26] JHook101: java is in the repositories [00:26] my encrypted volume no longer mounts [00:26] Jhook101: what is that you are trying to do? [00:27] koolkat: most likely, but would be a great way to learn the cms. big site? [00:27] technopagan1, boot a livecd and copy them to a flash drive [00:27] caitlin: it is ccsm [00:27] caitlin: compizconfig settings manager [00:27] how do i remote connect to a windows xp computer that is on my lan? [00:27] caitlin: in repositories [00:27] Jack_Sparrow: Good idea! [00:28] I'm getting an error message in Konsole when I try to get this repository. I have the error things spelled out in this link: http://kdenlive.org/forum/new-question-problem-konsole [00:28] Morchuboo: sent you the link [00:28] newmansan: depends on the kind of remote connection you need [00:28] newmansan, samba [00:28] how can i test modelines for an hdmi connection? [00:28] hey, does anyone know how to setup bass redirection ie high pass and low pass filters for creatives x-fi driver? [00:28] i am trying to setup my box on a sharp aquous LCD [00:28] Anyone know where and how to install ia32-sun-java6-bin [00:28] How to I remove packages from apt that I no longer need? [00:28] titan: something like remote desktop in windows === sol is now known as Guest39634 [00:28] d0wn_: apt-get remove ? [00:28] VideoSmith, I take it you are talking about something other than our supported repos [00:29] VideoSmith: if you're using KDE you might have more luck on #kubuntu, that said, it sounds like a desktop-environment-independent issue... [00:29] hi im testing out wmii on my main comp so i can use on my lappy afterwards at the moment I luv it (they even included a welcome screen to get the user started) but yeah just wondering why is exiale giving me segmentation fault, tried googling and found no bugs listed, so could anyone help me with this? [00:29] linxeh: I mean packages that aren't being used by anything [00:29] d0wn_: sudo apt-get autoremove [00:29] newmansan: pretty sure ubuntu comes with both a rdp and vnc client by default [00:29] I'm using GNOME. [00:29] newmansan, I have alink that will show you [00:29] xopey: thanks [00:29] d0wn_: apt-get autoremove [00:29] jhook101, try searching for restricted from synaptic, and/or the mediubuntu web site [00:29] VideoSmith: oh my bad. I just saw that you mentioned "konsole" so i assumed [00:29] newmansan: you can just install some kind of vnc server on the windows box or enable remote desktop [00:29] y [00:30] whoops... thought that was my terminal [00:30] titan: remote desktop is enabled on the remote computer [00:30] BLZ: It was just what was under Applications > System Tools, so I dunno. [00:30] Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out. [00:30] titan: i just don't know how to connect to it in ubuntu [00:30] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [00:30] Hi, I get this message while doing the final command to making opendns my permenant dns server: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured. How do i fix/configure this? [00:30] Titan: I'm not on a Ubuntu machine so I can't tell you exactly where the gui is [00:30] is there a way to stop a user from changing the chmod of a specific folder even if he is the owner? [00:31] I keep getting the error "E: system-tools-backends: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" when i got to apt-get upgrade... what gives? [00:31] newmansan: I think I remember it being somewhere under applications [00:31] newmansan, http://www.debianadmin.com/remote-desktop-sharing-in-ubuntu.html [00:31] koolkat: would be quite a good site to learn a cms with. not too small to be boring but not too complex to be unmanagable. I would suggest you install a cms you like the look of and try it. They do make managing the sites much easier. [00:31] Does anyone know why twin isn't in Intrepid? [00:31] Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out. [00:31] My mouse in ubuntu has been acting weird. It keeps creating multiple clicks when I only mean to click once or twice. For example if I open up a folder it will open up 1-4 windows. Any ideas? [00:31] Jack_Sparrow: What about icons from programs that I installed manually? Will a simple reinstall of the program bring the neccessary icons for it back? [00:31] Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out. [00:31] technopagan1, If you installed them manually and lost them you will need to manually do it again [00:32] i need a flash editor [00:32] crazyryan: you have to click the Unlock button first [00:32] okay... error [00:32] It's greyed out [00:32] "bash: dkpg: command not found" or something [00:32] Morchuboo: they have some sort of login page, there is a link to Login that is a grey color, I dont know if that is a cms aleady [00:33] gurph: dpkg [00:33] that i tried too [00:33] ScottG489: That's been happening to me too. I thought maybe my Dell mouse was getting screwed up, but it's only 5 months old [00:33] then i got a huge help-list style thing [00:33] xopey, IndyGunFreak, Titan8990: his error clearly has nothing to do with X [00:33] raylu: i said that from the beginning [00:33] what i tried to do was "dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg" [00:33] raylu: with an empty xorg.conf file? [00:33] raylu: sorry, just responding to the misspelled dpkg [00:34] !flash [00:34] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:34] !flasheditor [00:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about flasheditor [00:34] Titan8990: the new X doesn't need an xorg.conf. and X has already loaded; that's how he logged in [00:34] i need a flash editor please [00:34] gurph: try moving .gnome and .gnome2 [00:34] what is the terminal command to find out what sound card I have? [00:34] Uplink: Do you mean something to develop flash projects with? [00:34] Uplink: i don't know of one [00:34] TheFunkbomb: lspci [00:34] raylu: interesting, what does it use? [00:34] tiyowan: yes, like a macromedia flash pro [00:34] thanks raylu [00:34] Titan8990: lots of guessing :D [00:34] raylu: what? how? kinda new to linux... =/ [00:35] I am still having no luck finding that java run time file i need [00:35] gurph: mv ~/.gnome ~/.gnome-bak [00:35] Uplink: Hmm...have you googled for "flash +ide +linux"? [00:35] tiyowan: yes i have [00:35] tiyowan: i believe there are none... [00:35] well ill give it a shot [00:35] that's the only command, then? [00:35] !java [00:35] hi im testing out wmii on my main comp so i can use on my lappy afterwards at the moment I luv it (they even included a welcome screen to get the user started) but yeah just wondering why is exiale giving me segmentation fault, tried googling and found no bugs listed, so could anyone help indentify the cause? [00:35] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [00:35] Uplink: your best bet is to try it with wine and, when it fails, install windows in a VM [00:36] raylu: there are no flash editors for linux? :| [00:36] Uplink: I believe raylu's right. Flash is closed-sourced. I don't think you'll find something that runs natively on linux. Maybe you could try running Macromedia software under Wine? [00:36] Pirate_Hunter: wmii is a panelling window manager, right? [00:36] rsquare: Yea I have a Dell mouse too. Its a laser mouse and I have had it for a while with absolutly no problems. I dont think it has to do with the mouse. [00:36] tiyowan: yea i heard macromedia runs fine under wine [00:36] i guess i have no other option [00:36] Here's a question guys. This is the reason I've been trying kdenlive. Windows Movie Maker crashes on opening though I'm opening it with Wine. What's the problem? [00:36] Uplink: If you could hang on, I'll dig up the relevant link for Wine. [00:36] !twin [00:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about twin [00:37] tiyowan: i have wine ty [00:37] arright... going to give this thing a shot [00:37] tiyowan: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=23 [00:37] ScottG489: For me it's kind of random, though. Half the time a single click is a single click. The other half it's two or more clicks. I found out that if I click really fast I can avoid it most of the time. [00:38] rsquare: Its weird cuz it doesnt happen consistantly at all. I could go around single clicking on this but then every few seconds it seems to add another click. So sometimes if I eve single click a folder it will open [00:38] ScottG489: But because of the randomness, that's why I figured it was a hardware malfunction. [00:38] raylu: dynamic tilling and panneling yup why? [00:38] Yeah [00:38] Pirate_Hunter: it only segfaults in wmii, not in gnome? [00:38] Uplink: Yep. That's the one. :) [00:39] tiyowan: ty === sol is now known as Guest61132 [00:39] Uplink: No worries, mate. Best of luck. Are you a flash designer? [00:39] tiyowan: little ^^ [00:39] tiyowan: used to make animations for xat.com [00:39] You know, the only thing holding me back from ditching windows completely is the ability to play Yahoo Literati [00:39] lol [00:40] Here's a question guys. This is the reason I've been trying kdenlive. Windows Movie Maker crashes on opening though I'm opening it with Wine. What's the problem? [00:40] I'm serious. I wish I could get it to play [00:40] VideoSmith, the problem with wmm or kdenlive [00:40] raylu: yup i know where this is goig maybe i should ask how do i stop it from happening and while im on this topic can you suggest a good cli player not server i.e. mpd [00:40] VideoSmith: not all wine programs are compatible, check the wine appdb [00:40] hmmm [00:41] Pirate_Hunter: er, it wasn't oging anywhere :P [00:41] *going [00:41] appdb? Sorry for my ignorance, but... [00:41] What is that? [00:41] anyone can help me with a PPC problem... [00:41] !appdb [00:41] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [00:41] thanks :) [00:41] VideoSmith, wine questions should be directed to #Winehq people [00:41] Hi, I get this message while doing the final command to making opendns my permenant dns server: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured. How do i fix/configure this? [00:41] Pirate_Hunter: though you could try compiling from source. [00:42] Lol I've bounced from #kdenlive to #ubuntu to #winehq [00:42] Fun times XD [00:42] can someone help me set up my ati hd3450 with rstricted drivers? [00:42] McFrosty: What's up? [00:42] hey all I've recently upgraded to 2.6.24-23-generic and since then I've been getting this [ 262.004597] APIC error on CPU1: 00(40) [ 262.006488] APIC error on CPU0: 00(40) and its been causing lockups, hangs, and general problems. my /boot is only large enough to hold one kernel at a time (I wasn't thinking when I did that). Could someone help me get this figured out? [00:42] every time starting now i boot my laptop i go to a terminal and i have to startx myself how can i fix this [00:42] stegel: have you tried Envy? it's not officially supported, but I personally swear by it [00:42] raylu: just seemed like it oh well i jumped the gun, well other than compiling exaile from source which would be annoying isnt there a way to get it to work without segmentaion fault funny enough firefox works great without a problem [00:42] !envy|stegel [00:42] stegel: 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 [00:43] that said, i like it [00:43] How Comes my sound doesnt work on my PPC iMac G4? [00:43] Pirate_Hunter: no idea. though you should consider submitting a bug report [00:43] Pirate_Hunter: http://moc.daper.net/ [00:43] McFrosty: dunno... what else can you tell us about it? did you check to see if your sound adapter is supported? [00:43] McFrosty: I had the same problem with 8.04 [00:43] Can anyone figure out a way to play Yahoo Literati with ubuntu? [00:43] I know this is not the openoffice irc but in their channel it is hard to get noticed. The people are very helpful in this irc and because I use ubuntu it was an obvious choice. So, anyone familiar enough with openoffice's navigator? [00:43] yes but im using 8.10 PowerPC [00:44] Hi, I get this message while doing the final command to making opendns my permenant dns server: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured. How do i fix/configure this? It seems like no one has an answer...... [00:44] McFrosty, We dont support the ppc version... they have community support [00:44] !ppc [00:44] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [00:44] McFrosty: I went to a terminal - alsamixer and turned up the sound there [00:44] rsquare: so by hardware you mean its definitelly the mouse? [00:44] okay... new error [00:44] ty mdg [00:44] McFrosty: Let us know if it works [00:44] ScottG489: I don't know if it's definitely the mouse, but I suspect it's the mouse. If it were the software, I expect it to be more consistent in its error [00:44] anybody help me [00:44] anyone know how to increase ubuntu performance and speed [00:45] BLZ: thanks [00:45] this is pretty easy [00:45] stegel:np [00:45] will do [00:45] JHook101: you need to define that a bit better [00:45] McFrosty: Is this the G4 that is white with a round base? [00:45] "cannot stat '/root/.gnome'; no such file or directory [00:45] JHook101: well there's a few ways... some risky some not [00:45] ScottG489: It also only happens when I left click [00:45] That's another indicator [00:45] JHook101: what's slowing you down right now? [00:45] Ok how would I increase the speed at which windows open and close on my desktop How would I increase the speed in performance in which program open and close or operate [00:45] raylu: ahhhh so much trouble i should probably move to a cli music player since thats what im going to use on the lappy but wmii on the main is so good especially the tabing function :D [00:46] ScottG489: Only one way to find out. I'm going to get a new mouse tomorrow. If it's still happening, I'll know it's not the mouse, and I can return it [00:46] Well it seems that things are moving a bit slower then they did with windows xp pro installed [00:46] Anyone know how to get the left pane tree view back in nautilus? [00:46] JHook101: the formar you can do... i'd google something like "menu show delay" and you can switch to a lightweight file manager like thunar [00:46] McFrosty, see also #ubuntu-powerpc [00:46] yes G4 is white round base [00:46] domoso: press F9 [00:46] The instructions say something about choosing it from a drop down list. I don't see no drop down list. [00:46] Well how about increasing FPS when gaming on linux? [00:47] McFrosty: I have one to those too :) [00:47] :O [00:47] hello, does anyone know how to setup bass redirection to a subwoofer for creatives x-fi driver? [00:47] domoso: you can also hit View/and check "Side Pane" [00:47] JHook101: the later is more complicated. You can try to change harddrive parameters to get faster read times, but that has risks that need to be understood [00:47] wonderful since im new to linux do i have to open up alsamixer with the term? [00:47] McFrosty: yes. [00:48] would you mind type me "blahblahblah" what to do since im just getting familiar with it? [00:48] Yeah see, I thought it was that easy too. It's not working. F9 doesn't work. Going to view menu doesn't show a "side pane". [00:48] You use the arrow keys to move left right and the up/down arrows to increase decrease sound. Press escape key when done [00:48] can someone suggest a good cli music player that doesnt only play songs in mp3 (raylu i did check moc) [00:48] !test [00:48] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [00:48] Pirate_Hunter, mplayer [00:49] anyone? any help? ubuntu loads, only background and cursor load. no taskbars or anything. [00:49] i have a MAJOR problem my laptop boots to a terminal and i have to manually start x what can i do to stop this i dont want to reinstall ubuntu [00:49] rsquare: You wanna let me know? Cuz I'll get a new mouse too. i want wireless anyways for my laptop. [00:50] please answer my last post i am desprate [00:50] geeksquad: apt-get --reinstall install gdm [00:50] Where can I request a repos file to be updated (eclipse is out of date by over two years) [00:50] McFrosty, double click the speaker icon [00:50] gurph: have you got visual effect enabled? [00:50] ScottG489: If you're around in the next day or two, I'll let you know [00:50] no need MDG helped me [00:50] k [00:50] Any ideas how to get nautilus to display the side pane? F9 doesn't do anything. View menu doesn't have a Side pane option. [00:50] dro: you can always compile the source if you need a new version [00:50] tyranos: No :p for minimalist system some ncurses players would be nice but they all look good so im asking here to see what ppl think is really good in feature, resources etc [00:50] whats the command to "open" alsamixer with term... [00:50] Pirate_Hunter: mplayer will play them... but that's about all it does [00:50] j-a-k-e: compiz [00:51] Pirate_Hunter: it's ok if you have playlist files [00:51] McFrosty: If alsamixer does not do it, you can right click on the sound icon on the tool bar [00:51] raylu: nope not mplayer [00:51] Pirate_Hunter: why not? [00:51] McFrosty: First click on the ubunto icon on the toolbar [00:51] then go to accessories and choose "terminal" [00:52] then type alasmixer [00:52] Pirate_Hunter: mpg123 or mpg321 ? [00:52] Typical....I never get the "easy" problems. [00:52] says command not found... [00:52] does mp3 and ogg and stuff i believe ... [00:52] will "sudo apt-get remove compiz" get rid of compiz? [00:52] read my post to tyranos on the main comp its kl but not on the lappy [00:52] It's always some obscure thing and noone knows the answer. [00:52] gurph, nope [00:52] urg [00:52] Hey guys! I get Access denied when trying to access to an NFS share! can anyone please help me ? I need this to work [00:52] gurph: I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but try disabling compiz as a quick fix for now. I've had similar problems in the past that went away when I disabled it. [00:53] Ghosty: ty will do a search on that [00:53] gurph, compizconfig-settings-manager [00:53] McFrosty: Did you follow the PPC setup guide at www.ubuntuforums.org for PPC? [00:53] Pirate_Hunter: oh, you want ncruses? [00:53] j-a-k-e : kinda new. how? [00:53] Pirate_Hunter: *ncurses? [00:53] Well, time to open up a conf file for nautilus I guess. [00:53] jack_sparrow: thanks [00:53] Pirate_Hunter: but there is even better, just can't think of the name right now ... :/ [00:53] np [00:53] ...no i just downloaded the 8.10 alternate PowerPC.iso burned to disc and installed... [00:54] there is still a powerpc iso? :o [00:54] so you haven't updated yet? [00:54] updated to what? [00:54] ugh man pages....it's so.....kernel 2.4! [00:54] let ubuntu update itself [00:54] I dowlnload ubuntu is in my system , but i dont know how to get it back, pls help [00:54] how can i figure out what the nobody user's password is? [00:54] rsquare: if its not too much trouble could you email me? and did you drop your mouse recently? [00:54] k [00:55] nihhi: why? [00:55] gerber: you dont make sense [00:55] Hey guys! I get Access denied when trying to access to an NFS share! can anyone please help me ? I need this to work [00:55] jrib: I need to log in as them to run a script (long story) [00:55] McFrosty: There is a "sticky" post at www.ubuntuforums.org in the PPC forum about setting up ubuntu - you have to do extra things for PPC [00:55] gerber: Please clarify your question. [00:55] any ubuntu hackers comming to fosdem? :) [00:55] k ty ill check it out [00:55] gerber: you downloaded ubuntu but you havent burnt it to disk if you got badwidth you can use wubi but its hell slow [00:55] How can i get another copy [00:55] Gh0sty, Offtopic [00:55] re [00:55] McFrosty: Good luck! Catch you later :) [00:56] TY =D [00:56] gerber: if you want anther copy download it again? [00:56] nihhi: you should probably explain it... otherwise, 'man sudo', see -u [00:56] Jack_Sparrow: well not exactly i need some help but i think face to face will work much better :) [00:56] Hey guys! I get Access denied when trying to access to an NFS share! can anyone please help me ? I need this to work [00:57] I download it once ,so i think is somewhere in my computer [00:57] in your /tmp maybe ? [00:57] Gh0sty, any ubuntu hackers comming to fosdem? :) Is clearly offtopic [00:57] jrib: I need to run a perl script that does some things based on who you are executing it as... so i need to execute the perl script as "nobody" [00:57] hey everyone there is a callin linux help show going live in 5 mins on http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/30167 [00:57] hey does anyone here know if it's possible to send bass to the subwoofer channel using the x-fi driver off creative's site? I've got the options of using alsa oss and pulseaudio [00:57] nihhi: why?... [00:57] Jolter: you should check the permission [00:58] threethirty: please don't advertise here [00:58] nihhi: sudo? [00:58] gerber: if you downloaded it just do a search for it xp can do that even mac [00:58] anyone here run yakuake on ubuntu? [00:59] Cation_H`: yes but how? :) [00:59] Gh0sty: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you [00:59] Jolter: you can use ls -al in the terminal [00:59] Cation_H`: Im a newbie when it comes to NFS :/ [00:59] Jolter: you mean NFS or NTFS ?? [01:00] well i run yakuake on ubuntu, when i switch to other workspaces then 1 the lower border is under the bottom taskbar (so i cant see the last rule of my shell anymore and my tab bar in yakuake) [01:00] Cation_H`: NFS [01:00] anybody? [01:00] !nfs [01:00] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [01:00] been looking through bugreports but don't find anything like this ... :/ [01:00] Jack_Sparrow: yes I get it :P [01:00] Jolter: for access deny when you access you computer?? [01:00] hello, does anyone know the name of that app that is like a colour chooser, and shows you the html code etc? [01:01] Cation_H`: Access denied when I try to connect to a NFS share [01:01] removing compiz did not help [01:01] jrib: it converts mbox mailboxes to Maildir formatted email boxes [01:01] ok thank you , i do have one more ? , I put it in windos xp the installation went fine, when i reboot it show windoxp in ubuntu ,but whe i choose ubuntu it goes black [01:01] Jolter: maybe you don't have the permission on these others [01:01] gurph, I didnt see your problem just your request to remove ccsm [01:01] being something of a music nutter good sound is the only thing keeping me from switching to ubuntu [01:01] misc---: gcolor2 ? [01:01] Gh0sty: ahhh that's the one, thanks! [01:01] Jolter: How are you mounting the share? Also does /var/log/messages or /var/log/secure shed any light on what is wrong? [01:01] jrib: looks like the sudo -u command does what I need it to do [01:02] misc---: next time try apt-cache search color picker in a shell ... :p [01:02] gerber, did you add a partition below ubuntu.. uuid's change [01:02] no . i just fallow the wizard [01:02] Morchuboo: yes the syslog shows that an unknown host was denied to mount /home [01:03] Morchuboo: on both computers [01:03] Morchuboo: I have both client and server on both computers [01:03] hello, my boot splash has disappeared, why? how do i get it back? [01:03] Jolter: did you allow that computer to mount the share ? [01:03] my computer is sc400 from dell [01:03] its all ugly text now saying ok ok ok [01:03] mgolisch: in /etc/exports? [01:04] Jolter: yeeah [01:04] join #transmission [01:04] So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? [01:04] do i need reinstall kernel? would that fix it? [01:04] mgolisch: hmm I copied something that was supposed to be full read and write access [01:04] mgolisch: hold on a sec [01:04] Jolter: so you get that error when accessing the mounted share? [01:04] Hey, can anyone reccomend a scheduling (not as in cron/at, but as in day-planner style scheduling) application? Preferably gnome based. [01:04] so what i;m doing wrong? [01:05] Jolter: if yes check the fs permissions on the nfs server host [01:05] maurer: there's evolution [01:05] if anyone said anything i missed it [01:05] mgolisch: when I try do mount the share I get access denied [01:05] Greetings [01:05] jrib: That's likely overkill, doesn't that have mail and contacts management as well? [01:05] mgolisch: (rw,no_root_squash,async) [01:05] maurer: yes [01:05] mgolisch: that is a permission right? [01:05] maurer: thunderbird with lightning plugin? [01:05] I just installed ubuntu 8.10 without a hitch but when I boot into it it just takes me to a command prompt [01:05] Jolter: does that entry list the host that tries to mount it? [01:06] Is there a way to stop apt from updating your kernel? [01:06] Does anyone know if its possible to move mdadm RAID disks to another system? [01:06] Gh0sty: Thanks, I'll look into that (already using thunderbird) [01:06] Mdg I got it!!! [01:06] mgolisch: yes it does [01:06] So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? [01:06] So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? [01:06] CojaBo: Yes it is. [01:06] mgolisch: it shows it in syslog [01:06] poor gerber I don't know what to suggest to you [01:06] maurer: and furthermore i love the google calendar plugin :p [01:06] Astr4y: don't install the metapackage for kernel images. Though you probably want them, since they might have security updates [01:06] CojaBo: Just copy the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf from system to system [01:06] removing compiz via "sudo apt-get remove compiz{something}'' did not solve my problem. [01:06] Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out and so is the unlock button. [01:06] iShock, Repeating is not necessary and wont get you help any sooner [01:06] Hey, how comes when I go into Services I can't edit any of them. They're all greyed out and so is the unlock button. [01:06] crazyryan, Repeating is not necessary and wont get you help any sooner [01:06] lol Jack [01:06] I understand, but it is very busy in here. [01:07] Just wanted to be heard, sorry. [01:07] jrib: I don't want it to update anything, the only time I want apt to touch my kernel is when i tell it to [01:07] BLZ, any experience getting audio over hdmi to work on the HD3450 [01:07] Gh0sty: I used to use google calendar based stuff, but I'm working for a group that's paranoid (I know, unfounded) that google will steal info about what's going on, so everything needs to be local or on the org's servers :/ [01:07] if i reinstall ubuntu over existing installation, does it keep my files and settings? [01:07] raylu:i installed moc but cant seem to run it with command moc yet it is intalled, how do i run moc [01:07] hello, my boot splash has disappeared, why? how do i get it back? [01:07] crazyryan: is your user in the wheel group ? [01:07] maurer: Is there anything special I need to do? On boot-up, the new system immediately began to rebuild the array, destroying all data on them. [01:07] The wheel group? [01:07] ubuntu987: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash" from a terminal [01:07] (First time using Ubuntu) [01:07] Astr4y: that's already what it does. apt doesn't upgrade anything unless you tell it to [01:07] crazyryan: otherwise i dont think you can become root and so you cant change services ... [01:07] Jack_Sparrow: Accident D: Can you help tho? [01:07] CojaBo: Rebuild? It's supposed to do --assemble [01:07] mgolisch: you got any tips? [01:07] Morchuboo, thank you :) [01:07] Any ideas how to get nautilus to display the side pane? F9 doesn't do anything. View menu doesn't have a Side pane option. [01:08] CojaBo: At least, that's what it's done in my experience... [01:08] mgolisch: I ve been trying many hours :S [01:08] Gh0sty, crazyryan ubuntu doesn't use wheel; admin is the name of the group you need to be in [01:08] iShock, Please have patience and wait for an answer, repost the queastion every few minutes or rephrase it if you are not getting an answer [01:08] gconf-editor shows the pane enabled. But I'll be damned if I can see it. [01:08] Jolter: again does the exports entry contain the hostname/ip of the client in question? [01:08] jrib: What i mean is, when i do apt-get upgrade, if it sees an updated kernel it will isntall it without giving me the option to deselect it, i'm not using gnome or kde. [01:08] (I've got an external chassis that I use mdadm for raiding and I switch it between two machines all the time, as long as the mdadm.confs are the same it works the same for me...) [01:08] Jolter: sounds like you try to mount the share from an unauthorized client [01:08] Jack_Sparrow: I'm going crazy with this, Ubuntu has been nothing but a problem thus far .. [01:08] maurer: well the lightning is just a personal calendar for you in thunderbird, if you want it groupwise i'd say try some webdav calendars ... (if its small enough this should work) [01:08] ubuntu987: Is everything saying ok? it switches to showing the text if there is an issue booting. [01:08] main group: admin [01:09] maurer: The data (luckily just test data and some backup files) was already destroyed by the time the system reached the login prompt. [01:09] i installed moc but cant seem to run it with command moc yet it is intalled, how do i run moc [01:09] I've even purged and re-installed nautilus....still not Fing working [01:09] maurer: hold on i was just looking into a package but not really tested it. just need to find back the url [01:09] Pirate_Hunter: mocp [01:09] Astr4y: apt-get upgrade should not pull in new kernels. New kernels get pulled in with linux-image-generic depending on a new package and the new kernel should only get installed if you ask for it explicitly or apt-get dist-upgrade [01:09] crazyryan, in a terminal, type groups . You should see admin in the list you get back [01:09] mgolisch: well I entered the IP of the computer that was going to mount the share in /etc/exports... like /home 192.168.1.64 [01:09] it returns admin [01:10] So, Xubuntu isn't detecting a blank DVD I put in, any idea why? I try to burn it, brasero doesn't find it. [01:10] I am hosting a small website with apache2, is there any way to monitor the traffic? a logfile?

[01:10] maurer: chandlerproject.org looks very promising (did not test it yet ... ) [01:10] ????what is the name of the program that backs up ubuntu to restore so you can run it like it was before??? [01:10] iShock: try Gnomebaker.. iv'e never had much luck w/ brasero [01:10] okay so ive extracted the firmware for bcmxxx to /lib/firmware after this the alternate driver program doesnt recognize anything i think the instructions for fwcutter are incomplete any suggestions are appreciated ! [01:10] Astr4y: anyway, you can choose to ignore my warning about security and remove that package. And speaking of new kernels, I have to go load one now, be back in a bit :) [01:10] hi all [01:10] mgolisch: I have to get this to work :( [01:10] how are you [01:11] IndyGunFreak, are you aware of the Nautilus conf file?

I think everything in linux had a conf file. [01:12] nickrud, i got admin back... is that good or bad? [01:12] Astr4y: ty weird irssi aint notifying me of ppl sending me posts, could never get it to system beep but at least the window number should highlight :/ [01:12] IndyGunFreak: Nothing at all in dmesg.

[01:14] crazyryan, then the sudo subsystem is working. I'm not sure about why the button would be greyed out ....

I try to burn it, brasero doesn't find it. [01:16] Jolter: lol [01:16] :) [01:16] iShock, Are you the only user in your system [01:16] Pirate_Hunter: http://thorstenl.blogspot.com/2007/01/thls-irssi-notification-script.html [01:16] i was trying to install sound drivers from my motherbord cd (which included linux drivers) to play et because i had no sound, anyway, i went agead and installed them as root, then i restarted the pc and when i want to log in a window pops up and says: Start IM tough im [01:16] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, why? [01:17] Pirate_Hunter: you need to also read the comments, there is even a slightly better frontend proposed, i tested it and it works nicely :) [01:17] iShock, Just wanted to make sure your user had burn rights to the cd [01:17] Jack_Sparrow: Should I sudo k3b and see if it can read it? [01:17] crazyryan, that's part of the policykit authorization system, which I'm not familiar with, sorry [01:17] iShock, give it a shot [01:18] Jack_Sparrow: Should the light on my drive stay lit? [01:18] Gh0sty: ty really loving wmii especially default keys, allows straight use from install compared to the other ones i tried :'( [01:18] it may be a bad disc, i find ubuntu doesnt seem to pick up cheap media to well iShock [01:19] iShock, I would not think so [01:19] iShock: no, if it does that it probably means the drive cant read/identify the media [01:19] i was trying to install sound drivers from my motherbord cd (which included linux drivers) to play et because i had no sound, anyway, i went agead and installed them as root, then i restarted the pc and when i want to log in a window pops up and says: Start IM tough /etc/XII/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/XII/xinit/xinput.d/default, /usr/bin/seahorse_agent: error while loading shared...

[01:20] you need to try more then one disc [01:20] heya [01:20] iShock, does your bios see it [01:20] to narrow it down [01:20] Jack_Sparrow: Not a clue, how do I check? [01:20] Cosworth1: I have. [01:20] ah right k [01:20] I'm on like #8 now .. [01:20] :( [01:20] iShock, on boot it should show up, can the drive read a regular cd.. [01:20] Anyone feel like offering some help on a PCI Wireless card resume from suspend issue? [01:20] have you checked for firmware updates for the drive iShock [01:21] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, no problem watching House on it, so it can even read DVDs. [01:21] fprintf: whats the problem= === BLZ is now known as n00b-helper [01:21] iShock: the media is probably incompatible [01:21] mgolisch: thats something i hadn't considered.. [01:21] mgolisch, the wireless PCI card works great when I do a cold boot. However the card is not recognized upon resume from standby. [01:21] mgolisch: Why would it be? It's DVD-R [01:22] iShock: Try installing k3b or another burning program - might have better luck. Saying that, they are all front ends to the same tools. might be worth a go though [01:22] iShock, k3b and brasero .. neither see it as a burner.. so no idea other than try a different brand of disk [01:22] fprintf: if you click left on your network manager, disable wifi [01:22] and then enable wifi again, does that work then ? [01:22] It didn't work ... God , computers suck. [01:22] iShock: you want to burn a dvd image right? [01:22] I have tried shutting down "networking" in my /etc/default/acpi-support folder [01:22] mgolisch: Yeah, I got this shiny Windows 7 ISO sitting here === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [01:23] Gh0sty, no, it doesn't. The only thing that works is unplugging the card and plugging it back in. [01:23] iShock: try sudo cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 /path/to/file.iso [01:23] iShock: then its simple, its the iso that sucks :d [01:23] iShock: Its probably just protesting then ;) [01:23] i need help with my gnomenu [01:23] wow fuoco tools, converting xvid to flv for wii, file is over twice the normal size :S [01:23] iShock: if you have multiple drives try sr1 and so on to find the dvd burner [01:23] Jony: how so? [01:23] bbl [01:24] is there a way to restore the previous driver? [01:24] mgolisch: If I'm getting the ISO from a Windows share, what's the file path? [01:24] smb://windowspc/something ? [01:24] iShock: you have to mount the share or copy it local first [01:25] mgolisch: It's mounted. [01:25] cdrecord doenst wotk with gnome vfs paths [01:25] is luks the preferred way to encrypt a drive? [01:25] k3b does i think? [01:25] iShock: copy it to your home folder first then try again [01:25] helo: it depends on the type of encryption. is it a system volume or a non-system volume? [01:25] helo: by far the best solution up to now [01:25] non-system [01:25] Morchuboo: Takes hours to copy a 2.44GB file. [01:25] how do i reatach moc once i detach with q and can i use commands in terminal to control moc without going back into it? [01:25] mgolisch: It's mounted! [01:26] Every time I open a terminal in intrepid, and I do something where it beeps at it, it keeps dumping my desktop. Can I stop this unfriendly behavior? [01:26] helo: truecrypt [01:26] helo: without a doubt =) [01:26] iShock: if it takes hours to copy local, it still has to do that to burn it. the data needs to go through your machine. [01:26] www.truecrypt.org [01:26] Pirate_Hunter: you reattach by running mocp. and yes you can use commands to control moc without it open. [01:26] Morchuboo: The share is mounted....... [01:26] iShock: did you use the connect to server thing? then its not mounted [01:26] storm-zen, dumping the desktop? what do you mean? [01:27] burning disks should always be done from local. [01:27] Hi. I have a netbook (dell mini) and when I switch users the wireless connection stops working. Looks like the wireless manager of the new user account isn't able to take over the network configuration from the other user. [01:27] mgolisch: Then why is there an unmount option?

[01:28] iShock: i highly recommend putting it localy first, network problems might screw your burn [01:28] mgolisch: No network problems ...

[01:31] patx, install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. it will instll flash and more [01:31] storm-zen, i'm not sure what's causing that - you might want to file a bug report. see !bug [01:31] iShock: ok - cdrecord - the program that is used to do the burning still needs the entire contents of the image so it can burn it to the DVD. It gets this over the mounted network drive so is transfering the entire image anyway. If you do it yourself first then the write performance will be much better [01:31] patx: in firefox about:plugins lists flash? [01:31] patx, you do NOT need to or want to download it from the adobe site [01:31] first two: no [01:31] Gh0sty: what log would you check? xorg?

[01:50] mgolisch: hmm, this is something like my 10th time in linux so i dont get it very well :X [01:50] Toadlips: you can see with lspci [01:50] mgolisch: how do i mount the partition? [01:50] AgeManiac: using the mount command? [01:50] Gh0sty: I can see the 2x cards (7800GT in SLI) from lspci [01:51] mgolisch: just type chroot? [01:51] mgolisch: When I ran nvidia-settings, it told me I should run nvidia-xsettings [01:51] hmmm no experience with such new cards but i recall seeing problems with pretty new cards ... :/ [01:51] hi [01:51] Mgolisch: I just did what I was told! :) [01:51] speak spanish === eli_ is now known as dotblank [01:52] AgeManiac: which disk / partition is your root partition on do you know that? [01:52] hola [01:52] when playing movies in totem it stutters. How do I fix this? It normally happens when it is full screen [01:52] you should be able to see if you can mount it [01:52] Toadlips: id try reverting to the std xorg.conf, it probably made a backup of the file before altering it [01:52] then type mount and it will show [01:52] yes === Mud|afk is now known as Mud|ZzZzZ [01:52] mgolisch: I think it might have...I will try that right now... [01:52] How do I get the Dualshock 3 to work in ubutnu [01:52] AgeManiac: ok if you have that, just do in a console chroot /dev/something [01:52] Gh0sty: well, i see it in the explorer with all the folders [01:52] pieces: maybe disable compiz [01:53] AgeManiac: eh no [01:53] I just installed eclipse 3.4 in Inrepid and ran eclipse -clean (because I added in features / plugin packages manually) and it replies eclipse isn't installed. How else can I run -clean? [01:53] mgolisch, never tried ill give it a shot [01:53] ty [01:53] Btw, hello everyone. :D === butterz is now known as butt3rz [01:53] AgeManiac: it should probably be /media/something [01:53] since it should be mounted before chrooting into it [01:53] then run your commands [01:54] Any ideas? Anyone familiar with Eclipse Ganymede? [01:54] dro_: i use it but thats it [01:54] :) [01:54] :) [01:55] Gh0sty: so mounting is like switching in the terminal to the other hard drive? [01:55] Hrm. Yeah, I'm running short on ideas... [01:55] I am currently using seperate X screens for my dual-monitor setup. Is Xinerama a better option than this? I want to be able to have seperate wallpapers (or stretched across both), 3d rendering on both, and to be able to move windows from one to the other (which i currently cannot do).

[01:58] IndyGunFreak: Do I need an extra tool to be able to have separate wallpapers? [01:58] :) [01:58] Gh0sty, language [01:58] mgolisch, so did I. So, does that mean I don't have to run -clean? [01:58] is all kernel stuff C and asm? what is the rest? C and C++? what exactly is written in python in ubuntu? just highlevel stuff like simple GUI-apps or more heavy stuff too? isnt one packaging-system to some linux-distro written in python? [01:58] well, im right now at the terminal, /home/ubuntu (from the cd live) so i just type in the terminal chroot apt-get --reinstall install libasound [01:58] Wait now what? It is showing me a list of files. [01:58] dro_: what does that -clean do?

[01:58] I try to install Ubuntu 8.10 by an ISO.. and by CD to.. but it starts downloading data from Internet instead of using from CD. [01:58] alguien sabe como puedo modificar la resolucion de mi monitor [01:58] why [01:58] ? [01:58] can anyone help me in this? [01:59] VideoSmith well that depends on what it is and how you install it [01:59] Toadlips: how does that xorg.conf look like? [01:59] Gh0sty, after I install the non-free-codecs from medibuntu still no luck === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [01:59] gerob: try envyng... it's not officially supported, but it works well in my experience [01:59] mgolisch: it makes eclipse review the features / plugin folders to check and apply updated packages [01:59] AgeManiac, what are you trying to do? [01:59] Gh0sty, with the SWF files that is [01:59] I try to install Ubuntu 8.10 by an ISO.. and by CD to.. but it starts downloading data from Internet instead of using from CD. [01:59] Gh0sty: How'd I do that? I was asking about this earlier and was suggested to just get the 3.4 version from apt-get [01:59] I'm always open to new ideas... [02:00] Especially ones that limit / eliminate me having to manually update packages... [02:00] Stormy- do you mean it does that to install software and updates? [02:00] knapr, lot of GNOME is written in python (except perhaps the libraries) same with KDE .. lot of APT is written in perl, python and C [02:00] I recently switched from gentoo -> ubuntu, but keep having wireless problems. It stops working but the Network Manager still shows I have a strong connection. I have to restart each time - what logs should I be looking in to help find the problem? [02:00] mgolisch: It's got stuff in it, but I'm new to the xorg.conf file! Would you like me to pastebinit? [02:00] knapr: the kernel is all C and asm. gnome is mostly C. KDE is mostly c++. Python is used for a lot of gui tools and programs. [02:00] n00b-helper: trying to reinstall the sound driver because it wont let me use the ubuntu installed in the HD, so right now im in the live cd trying to repair the static ubuntu :x [02:00] Toadlips: yeah do that [02:00] just right clicked a window in wmii and put it as fullscreen but i cant get it back to normal again, anyone knows how to get window back to original size? [02:00] Gh0sty, should I just google ubuntu tweak? [02:00] I just put in a new SATA drive in addition to my current partitioned IDE drive, and now a current partition on the IDE drive will not mount [02:00] n00b-helper : Im doing a fresh install through WUBI.. it starts downloading the data and not using the ISO + CD. [02:00] dro_: search for ubuntu tweak with google, install it (its a deb file) open that one, then start that tool, its pretty self explanetory [02:00] hey === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [02:00] Stormy- i thought that was normal... [02:01] symptom: sorry not really sure then [02:01] i installed the vim-full package: sudo apt-get install vim-full, and when I run vim in easy mode: vim -y, gVim opens up in easy mode. I'm wondering how the -y option that's added to vim serves as a link to gVim so I can run vim from the terminal in easy mode with vim -y. Any help is appreciated. === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [02:01] AgeManiac: you're trying to reinstall pulse audio? [02:01] any help regarding it?

Other than that, I don't see anything. I might have to just live with plugging and uplugging the card. [02:01] Stormy- i thought that was normal though for updates and software [02:01] Gh0sty: Thanks, I'll check 'em out. [02:01] What I'm trying to load is kdenlive. It's like Linux's WMM. [02:02] I installed the same in another pc.. it worked fine :o [02:02] PT=? [02:02] Why not on this system, I even downloaded the 64bit version ISO. [02:02] Can anyone help me find my www dir for my server? [02:02] it also gives the same. [02:02] Stormy- does the install complete? [02:02] how can i get ubuntu to repair my harddisk?? [02:02] Trikster: /var/www ? [02:02] it will take days to complete.. my internet is not that fine. [02:02] Toadlips: id try to get back to the original xorg.conf, this one doesnt look like it is [02:02] I have to reset my smb password after every few times I connect. (Ubuntu 8.10). Any one ever have this issue? [02:03] Trikster: default is /var/www/html [02:03] jorvis_, no, it isn't there. [02:03] Nor there. [02:03] Stormy- i see... and you said this was using wubi? [02:03] Yes. [02:03] I want to keep XP for my games, thats why using Wubi. [02:03] Stormy [02:03] I have both the versions, 32bit and 64bit.. tried both of them. [02:03] Toadlips: i think if you boot the recovery entry in grub it has an option to fix the xserver, i think it replaces the xorg.conf with the default allmost empty one [02:03] ISO + Cds. [02:04] gTea, vim -y enables "click and type" which isn't available in the terminal - so i guess, that's why gvim is used [02:04] mdg: I have one SMB share that won't connect at all [02:04] mdg: i think that samba disconnects after a short period of time if not used by default [02:05] Trikster: try looking in the config file for the site. Should be /etc/apache2/sites-available/ the file will have the base directory in it (document root directive). [02:05] Oh, wow, sorry jorvis_ and Morchuboo I am part blind, I didn't see it at the very bottom. [02:05] Thanks! [02:05] I don't use Apache :O [02:05] How do I get the Dualshock 3 to work in ubuntu? [02:05] Bye [02:06] dotblank: tried google? [02:06] unop: i'm pretty certain that click and type mode is available from the terminal [02:06] gem install xdcc-fetch [02:07] butt3rz, I'm ok with a disconnect, but it takes an smbpasswd everytime. I'll look at the smb.conf to see if there is anything about a timeout. [02:07] Hello there. I have not been able to update my wine install for a while now, it seems there is a problem with the dependencies. Any hints? I get this message on the update manager: W: Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/wine_1.1.12~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) [02:07] mgolisch: but to not much luck [02:07] unop, :set mouse=a enables mouse positioning, and the other options set for easy mode should enable vim to act like a click and type editor, even in the terminal, no? [02:08] BobPenguin: looks like a wrong proxy server is set up [02:08] Is there a command to reveal what processor model is being used in Ubuntu? (e.g. Core2Duo E6500) [02:08] Digital8: cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:08] Hey guys, a problem with a .tar.gz file. I extracted from it and it made another folder. I don't know what to do next. [02:08] BobPenguin: it looks like you were using a proxy, on port 4001 but it is no longer running [02:08] mdg: man smbpasswd [02:08] gTea, yea, but it's also mappings like ctrl+c, ctrl+v, etc that are somewhat obtuse in a terminal - i'm not sure about this tho, you might like to ask in #vim [02:09] VideoSmith: look in the folder? follow the instructions there or follow instructions from site/person you got the file drom [02:09] from [02:09] is anyone here familiar with hlstatsx ? [02:09] oh, ok. I played with some prosyx a while ago, but i'm not using any now. Can I fix this on synaptic? [02:09] unop, thanks for your time [02:09] BobPenguin: in the setting in synaptic disable the proxy there [02:10] thanks a lot mgolish [02:10] thanks a lot mgolisch [02:10] mgolisch: I ran dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [02:10] mgolisch: I have a dualshock 3. will it behave the same as a SIXAXIS [02:10] dotblank: plug it in and try? [02:10] BobPenguin: yep - in synaptic select Settings-->Preferences. The proxy should be specified on the network tab [02:10] hi [02:11] mgolisch: it works plugged in but I can't find it in bluetooth [02:11] gTea, apparently you can source evim.vim within a vim session to make it behave in easy mode - as per :help easy [02:11] is there a application to download flickr albums? [02:11] mgolisch: startx still give me the same error "no screens found" :( [02:11] nothing more? [02:12] the whole logfile would be helpful [02:12] I have a noob question: My display is stuck at 800x600 but i know it will go a lot larger, (around 1680x1050). Anyone willing to help me fix this? [02:12] gTea, how do you exit vim when it's like that? :) [02:13] Toadlips: its /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:13] what should i use to calculate crc3 checksums (of files)? [02:13] :q? [02:13] I've been trying to reset my system time (as Ubuntu doesn't allow you to pick central, for some reason...), however, once I restart, the changes are lost. [02:13] mgolisch: Thanks!! Here it is....http://pastebin.com/f30eee57b [02:13] venport: try system/preferences/screen resolution [02:13] mgolisch, yea, though ESC doesn't take you into normal mode anymore [02:13] unop: ok i dont use vim that often [02:13] :) [02:14] Toadlips: nopaste the complete logfile [02:14] vim is your god [02:14] butt3rz Thanks I did that, but it only lists the 800x600 and somthing like 800x640, but my windows computer (connected to the same monitor via kvm) will go to to 1680x1050 [02:14] mgolisch: I ran hidd --server --nocheck -n and it found the dualshock 3 however jstest shows it unresponsive [02:14] venport: sounds like X is failing to DDC probe your monitor properly. Might need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf - what monitor do you have [02:15] moglisch: sorry about that! Here it is: http://pastebin.com/f77631bf9 [02:15] I have an acer AL2216wbd [02:15] venport, what video card? [02:16] venport: that will likely be the issue. ddc probes through kvms often fail. [02:16] venport: what is your video card? did you try to update your video driver? [02:16] Jack_sparrow: just the POS built into the motherboard [02:16] venport: to test, try plugging the monitor directly to the machine and rebooting. [02:16] I've been trying to reset my system time (as Ubuntu doesn't allow you to pick central, for some reason...), however, once I restart, the changes are lost. [02:16] But it went to a larger Resolution before i installed Ubunto [02:16] Toadlips: it try to use the vesa driver, put a driver "nvidia" line somewhere in the device section in xorg.conf and try to run xserver again [02:16] venport, it still has a chipset, and please lose the pox type of comments [02:17] unop, Ctrl-o allows you a one-off in command mode ;) [02:17] raylu, libarchive-zip-perl [02:17] mgolisch: literally just the word "nvidia" in the device section? [02:17] no : driver "nvidia" [02:17] raylu, then you do 'crc32 filename' [02:18] Oh sorry did not know that was an issue, (will not happen again), not sure what the video card is i'll have to take a look. I'll try going around the KVM [02:18] anyone know where logs for wireless are found? [02:18] Thanks,, i'm sure i'll be back [02:18] gTea, that's horrible :) -- anyway. vim -S $(locate evim.vim | tail -1) [02:19] R0b0t1: try system/administration/time and date [02:19] one last thing before i go if thats ok guys, thanks for the last answer. I need to make a bin bash txt file to autostart a program, is there a way to make it wait before it starts like wait 5 first then the rest of the code needed? [02:19] gTea, you could create an alias for that. alias evim='vim -S $(locate evim.vim | tail -1)' [02:20] i have an app that loads first before i want it to [02:20] Cosworth1: sleep number_of_seconds [02:20] Cosworth1: sleep 5 [02:20] mgolisch, many thanks :) [02:20] Hello, I am using intrepid, starting in recovery mode, how ca n I connect to my network. since I thin using network manager is just for gnome, [02:20] Morchuboo thanks as well :) [02:20] unop, it is horrible =(. going for shared screen sessions for collaborative learning though, and i'm trying to get the click and type effect [02:20] test [02:20] fail [02:21] !test [02:21] sigh... again?

[02:22] moglisch: didn't seem to work adding driver "nvidia" to the device section, but I'm rebooting for the heck of it! [02:22] HELP lol i jus bought a game called "SILVER FALL" and need help getting it to run in Ubuntu [02:22] gTea, it seems to work for me - the key maps seems to work too [02:22] SonofC4, A windows game?

[02:25] I have question if some one can please help me out [02:25] mgolisch: Caught you in Windows. [02:25] gTea, maybe you need to specify the right evim.vim - that command i gave you uses the last one found - which might not be the right one [02:25] !ask [02:25] ehats appsdb [02:25] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:25] Umm... I can't type the letter 's' in my terminal anymore. I can type 'S', but not 's'...

[02:29] screen resolution is 1280 X 800 [02:29] gTea, maybe this. vim -S /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/evim.vim [02:29] Does anyone know if its possible to move mdadm RAID disks to another system? [02:29] unop, haha, i do no know. Thanks again for taking the time out. I'm curious about the mechanism used when vim -y and evim calls gvim, though [02:29] venport: is that how you want it? [02:29] oops, didn't mean to post that twice :/ [02:29] Is there a program that allows you to have seperate wallpapers using a twinview setup? Aside from making one large wallpaper in gimp. My monitors have different resolutions so this doesn't work for me. [02:29] unop, if i could find out where that happens, i'm sure i could change the symbolic link [02:29] Morchuboo, now is it going to set its self at the lower resolution every time turn it on now that it's plugged back into the KVM? or is there a way to make it stay [02:29] whats the command to unmount a drive? [02:29] Morchuboo at the moment it is [02:30] CoJaBo, it is supposed to work.. I quit using raid a few years back [02:30] so would could be with my resolution [02:30] unop, no dice [02:30] fwaokda_, umount [02:30] gTea, i'm sure it's not a symlink .. as the help topic for 'easy' says - a GUI environment is used if one is available - sounds like vim deciding that for you. [02:30] flash not working in firfox [02:30] Jack_Sparrow, how do i know what to put after it though... how do i find out what my drives label is? [02:30] Toadlips: add a line : Busid "1:0:0" to the device section and see if that helps [02:30] venport: you will need to add a modeline to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:30] !modeline [02:30] A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl [02:31] Jack_Sparrow: The problem I had was that on boot the new system immediately began rebuilding it and destroyed all data. [02:31] Toadlips: i think the driver is puzzled as it doesnt know which one to use [02:31] fwaokda_, sudo fdisk -l for a start.. man umount for the second but let me see if I have an example for you [02:31] smartguyz: did you install the restricted package? [02:31] Morchuboo, like i said before i'm really new to this (less than 24 hours with linux) how do i change the config file? [02:31] is there a tut out there [02:31] k ty [02:32] ubuntu rocks! [02:32] Jack_Sparrow, would my main drive already be unmounted though if im in on a usb drive? [02:32] Umount: Example assumes the first partition..../eject /dev/sdc1 and umount /dev/sdc1 (with umount you could also use the mountpoint like umount /media/USBDRIVE [02:32] i submitted a bug and it was confirmed and being worked on withen an hour lol [02:32] hmmm, can anyone answer an easy and quick (i assume?) question about where to install the boot loader for a dual boot ubuntu/xp box? [02:32] lol [02:32] yay 64bit flash and java released [02:32] Barridus, mbr [02:33] venport: from a terminal (Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal) type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" this will open the file as admin [02:33] Jack_Sparrow, so what would that be then out of the options i am presented with [02:33] fwaokda_, you can type mount but it spews lots more than you really want [02:33] exmachina1: is that new? theres been java for 64bit for years [02:33] DigitalFiz: I submitted a bug in Firefox 2 years ago and it still isn't fixed :P [02:33] butt3rz: what's the name of the file? [02:33] mgolisch, 64bit java-plugoi [02:33] Hi all, i have a RGB cable that connect my new lcd tv to my laptop ( a fujitso amilo PI), my laptop detects the TV but when i apply the new resolution i still see "no signal" on the tv... ANy tips? (with windows all works fine with FN+f4) [02:33] mgolisch, plugin** [02:33] unop, interesting. Wouldn't that be accomplished with some logic that looks for (gvim) and if it's found, it runs it instead of vim. If so, finding where that logic is and modifying might help, no? [02:34] i can pick sdb, sdb1 through sdb4 [02:34] venport: before you open the file back it up! "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" [02:34] Barridus, single drive or dual.. and it doesnt offer to install grub on mbr.. or are you trying to restore/repair grub [02:34] mgolisch, you basically don't need nspluginwrapper anymore for flash/java [02:34] OK will do morchuboo [02:34] then read the info about modelines and add the one you want [02:34] !modeline [02:34] mgolisch: I cannot believe it!!! Do you know how long I've been trying to get this to work???? :) [02:34] Barridus, Do you have one drive or two? [02:34] Jack_Sparrow, i'm just trying to install an ubuntu partition (or set of them with swap, boot, / [02:34] mgolisch: Thank you so much for your assistance!! I really appreciate it!! [02:34] Hey,I'm getting choppy video playback in full screen (Ubuntu 8.04) and I'm getting the impression that it's due to my ATI card. Does anyone know if that'd be the case? [02:35] Great thanks lots of help [02:35] i did so but it just skips right by and boots into xp [02:35] Any one have a solution for a the display being to big i have nvdia drivers install version 177 currenty display mode is 1280 X 800 but everthing still kind of big in windows it perfect plz help [02:35] so i'm assuming i put the boot loader in the wrong place [02:35] New question. It seems as though I will only need XP for CS2 and Firefox to play Literati. Is there an easy way to resize the partition to give Ubuntu more room? [02:35] gil: could be... what drivers have you installed? or are you using the standard driver? [02:35] venport: no prob [02:35] Jack_Sparrow, well my ubuntu and windows vista both wont boot due to the hdd being messed up I believe. I'm wanting to repair it (thinking its bad sectors or something like that) In windows I'd use chkdsk. What is the equivalent in ubuntu? [02:35] How do I determine the Product ID of a connected bluetooth device [02:35] Toadlips: i had problems like that before, thats why i guessed it needs that busid thing [02:35] :) [02:35] TheFunkbomb, resizing your partition is NOT a trivial tisk [02:35] task* [02:35] !fsck [02:35] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:36] Toadlips: you are welcome [02:36] it's a VERY VERY non-trivial task [02:36] exmachina1, I figured as much :( [02:36] can someone help me installing HlstatsX ? [02:36] ty [02:36] np [02:36] TheFunkbomb, it would be easier to just copy everything you need to a hard drive and just re-inall [02:36] reinstall* [02:36] n00b-helper: I didn't manually download any drivers, I went into Hardware Drivers, and enabled "ATI accelerated graphics driver" and it download them for me [02:36] i wish i had an idea what to pick here [02:36] mgolisch: I think I'll try to find some documentation on how to configure the xorg.conf file so that I can be a little more self-reliant and maybe return the favor to someone else! :) [02:37] n00b-helper: So, I guess that's standard, right? === thebleh is now known as ZakK-- [02:37] exmachina1, ugh. I was hoping that wasn't the case. [02:37] yes it would be standard [02:37] Barridus, I asked a couple times how many drives.. [02:37] oh i must have misunderstood [02:37] there are ... 4 drives on this box [02:37] butt3rz: what's the name of the file? I installed macromedia flash plugin.... [02:37] 2 internal, two usb [02:38] Barridus, windows and ubuntu on internals? [02:38] well only one drive is a system drive [02:38] Barridus, I dont care aboutdata drives just os [02:38] the others are just for data/madia [02:38] as far as i'm aware, i just need to deal with the one [02:38] n00b-helper: Are there other drivers I should be using or is there something else I should be looking at to get video playing smoothly? [02:39] gil: see my private message [02:39] and need to pick which partition or what not to put the boot loader? [02:39] Barridus, agreed are both win and ubu on the same drive and which drive is it [02:39] it appears to be sdb, and i want both on one [02:40] Barridus, is your system set to boot windows on that second drive position.. [02:40] Barridus, assuming windows is sdb1 [02:40] i would assume so as it just does so without my say so [02:40] yes xp is on sdb1 [02:41] smartguyz: i think it is flashpluggin-nonfree [02:41] Barridus, and xp has booted from there so sdb is the mbr you want to write grub into [02:41] Guys I've got a bit of a problem that I tried to have answered before but didn't get too much of an answer. I am working on downloading this program. I got a .tar.gz file and when I extracted, it gave me a folder. Where do I go from here? [02:41] flash not working in firefox, can anyone help me had to reload ubuntu [02:41] Barridus, sda1 is the normal boot drive for windows [02:41] Jack_Sparrow, ok so i pick SDB? the description of such is what appears to be a serial number for the drive hardware [02:42] VideoSmith, read the instructions on the site where you downloaded that program [02:42] Dedicated UBUNTU 8.04 system [02:42] Alright. [02:42] Jack_Sparrow, its size appears to be the full size of the drive, not a partition [02:42] VideoSmith: or look for and install.txt inside the folder [02:42] Barridus, that would be uuid [02:42] !uuid [02:42] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [02:42] had everything working but decided to get rid of XP [02:42] kelbizzle: Ah I've got something there. [02:42] VideoSmith: or a readme.txt [02:42] smartguyz: i think it is flashplugin-nonfree [02:42] Barridus, are you running the ubuntu livecd installer program [02:42] yes [02:43] kelbizzle: it gave me this: cmake . (If you want to install in a different path, use instead: cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/path) make To install, become root: sudo make install (enter root password at prompt) [02:43] Jack_Sparrow, for hardy [02:43] had it working in 7.05 [02:43] Barridus, hardy is fine.. [02:43] 7.04 [02:43] now I upgraded to 8.04 not working.... [02:43] !shell [02:43] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:44] kinda off topic but: does any one know if i buy a domain from godaddy.com and a webserver if they will have php and mysql loaded allready or do i need to install them some how? [02:44] Barridus, but if it is not seeing your windows partition I would back out of the installer [02:44] VideoSmith: ok just type in a terminal window cd /home/kelbizzle/path-to-folder [02:44] Jack_Sparrow, it is [02:44] VideoSmith: then type sudo make then sudo make install [02:44] smartguyz: or try ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:44] Hi, which video driver should i choose when install arch in virtualbox? [02:44] Jack_Sparrow, i can list what it says completely if that makes a difference [02:44] Mr_Integral: it will be preinstalled already [02:45] Barridus, sudo fdisk -l will help me from a terminal session [02:45] Mr_Integral: they set it up [02:45] last letter is L [02:45] kelbizzle: thanks m8 :) [02:45] VideoSmith: your welcome homie! [02:45] Jack_Sparrow, well that'll be hard to do i think, as i'm not on that box and i can't find a way to get into a terminal session [02:46] kelbizzle: lol [02:46] Mr_Integral: asking in #ubuntu-offtopic might be better [02:46] Jack_Sparrow, that box is just sitting at the "advanced options" of the livecd installer [02:46] Barridus, ctrl-alt-F1 or 2 or 3 or 4 etc and F7 to get out [02:46] Mr_Integral: They will. [02:46] scusate se rompo un'altra vola ma mi serve di nuovo il link della chat in italiano [02:46] anyone know a good tutorial make your ubuntu like the matrix lol [02:46] Barridus, if you are booting XP on sdb1 fine then write to the mbr of sdb [02:47] kelbizzle: slight problem [02:47] kelbizzle: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [02:47] It gave me that. [02:47] bluedragon, See gnome-look.org [02:47] VideoSmith: just try sudo make install [02:47] looked there couldn't find a matrix theme [02:47] !theme [02:47] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [02:47] kelbizzle: alright foo (lol) [02:47] VideoSmith: HAHAHA MY NIG! [02:48] Could someone help me troubleshoot a sound issue? I have a Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02). All the clues say it should be working. [02:48] Jack_Sparrow, well i hit ctrl-alt-f1 as you said, it appears to be hung at "loading please wait" [02:48] kelbizzle: cmon m8 lets go hit Microsoft. [02:48] lol jk [02:48] kelbizzle: have you checked to see if it's supported? [02:48] n00b-helper: yes sir alsa said it is. [02:49] kelbizzle: sorry it still says this: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [02:49] Jack_Sparrow, should i just bounce the box and start over, and put boot loader on sdb? [02:50] This thing is getting pretty old. [02:50] Barridus, I would start over create manually two ext3 and a swap and Personally I would move cables and move sdb to sda and go for iut [02:51] kelbizzle: I attempted in another root shell (not that it'd help) and it still gives me that. [02:51] kelbizzle, pastebin lsmod [02:52] Jack_Sparrow, i can't switch the cables, they are two different form factors (system is ide, data is sata) [02:52] kelbizzle, actually , apt-get wgetpastebin [02:52] how do i install a themes gnome-look.com gdm themes seem not work only the gtk.2.x [02:52] er apt-get wgetpaste [02:52] Barridus, Ok.. mixing ide and sata has its own set of issues.. [02:53] Barridus, SDB it is [02:53] kelbizzle, then do "lsmod | grep ath | wgetpaste" and "lspci -vv | wgetpaste" [02:53] This is pretty damn dumb. [02:53] Jack_Sparrow, ok i will try sdb [02:53] How would I make a partition that takes up the entire drive from the CLI [02:54] Jack_Sparrow, it's sort of what my gut told me but i didn't want to bork the os install without asking someone smarter than myself [02:54] VideoSmith, did you do ./configure [02:54] Netham45, mkfs [02:54] hmmm [02:54] I'll try that [02:54] Barridus, asking me was your second mistake.. :) [02:54] root@uTimothy:~# sudo make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [02:54] * Barridus starts sweating [02:54] wrong one [02:54] VideoSmith, did you do ./configure [02:54] Jack_Sparrow, that'll make a filesystem, not a partition [02:54] Yeah. [02:54] bluedragon: drag and drop the archive into the display properties window [02:54] I have an unpartiitoned drive [02:54] It did this: [02:54] -su: /configure: No such file or directory [02:55] no /configure [02:55] ./configure [02:55] oh [02:55] duh [02:55] i want to access my windows directory on my linux box thru samba...do i do this at the command line : smb:///nameofwindowsserver/c$ ? [02:55] VideoSmith, did you ./configure? the dot is very important [02:55] -su: ./configure: No such file or directory [02:55] I can see how it can be but it still don't like me. [02:55] jrgp, thanks for telling me to submit a bug they already put it as confirmed and are working on it i suppose [02:56] ... [02:56] anyone here know how to control the upload speed on a NAT network? i have a user who is uploading too much and slowing down the entire network [02:56] enovativ: you can do it from nautilus - go to places-->home. When the window opens press ctrl-L. you can put it in the address bar then [02:56] Netham45, parted [02:56] Jack_Sparrow, know an easier way? === [maurice] is now known as nitridr [02:56] does anyone know if/when Ubuntu is going to push the kernel 2.6.28 in 8.10? [02:57] Netham45, livecd and gparted [02:57] hello! [02:57] bballr: probably never, since it makes little sense to have a new kernel. Only security upgrades are available. [02:57] Netham45, gparted-livecd [02:57] Jack_Sparrow, install is going. yeah i know this is a "weird" setup but it's something i cobbled together to test to see if ubuntu will work for the purposes a as-of-yet unbuilt new box will need [02:57] enovativ: you can also go to Places-->Connect to server, similar to a windows mapped drive then. You may have problems accessing the admin shares though so may want to share out the folders you want on the windows server. [02:58] Barridus, np good luck [02:58] alright thanks just wondering [02:58] Jack_Sparrow, I'm not local, I'm in through SSH. [02:58] Morchuboo: what i was trying to figure out was the correct syntax in accesing that windows directory [02:58] Netham45, Helps to have all the facts with the question [02:58] Netham45, Sorry cant help you [02:58] Morchuboo: i have been able to do this a few times just forgot what exactly to type in the address bar [02:58] i have a .dat file which seems to be a RIFF audio file [02:59] how can i convert this to make it avi? [02:59] Morchuboo: i want to type: smb:///nameofserver/c$ but that is not working [02:59] Does anybody remember a command such as "displayconfig-gtk", "configdisplay-gtk" or some such? I'm trying to set up my screen resolution, but I don't remember this command. [02:59] hi is anyone able to help me fix my menu.list file? I keep on getting a grub error 13 when I try to boot to windows [02:59] j-a-k-e, what drive is windows on [03:00] ahh - ok. you will need to create a folder and mount the windows share in that folder [03:00] j-a-k-e, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst sudo fdisk -l to find windows [03:00] Someone Help me View Youtube on PPC i have Gnash and Totem Plugins installed the videos just turn gray? and dont play whats up with that? [03:01] Jack_Sparrow, seriously? you're going to tell me to give you all the facts when you gave me a response that's not what I asked for? wow. [03:01] enovativ: mount -t cifs /// -o usrname=,password= [03:01] any one avail for some tech support? [03:01] enovativ: something like that [03:01] Jack_Sparrow: windows is on sdc (160 ide master) [03:01] !attitude [03:01] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:01] j-a-k-e, and it has booted previously from that partition config [03:02] I am trying to disable maximus, but none of the information I have seen on the web seems to work--sessions applet or removing package. How does this process get launched? [03:02] Beaon: what's your question? [03:02] I would like to install UDF 2.5 support on Ubuntu 8.10, Im a typically linux newb FYI. +) [03:02] runningduck: its launched from your session [03:02] Netham45: parted is the correct way. [03:02] j-a-k-e, set menu to boot hd2,0 for your window install [03:03] Flannel, But he didnt like that answer [03:03] Flannel, I asked if there was an easier way, I'm unfamiliar with parted. [03:03] Jack_Sparrow: I cant say for sure, I just installed 8.10 over 8.04 [03:03] mgolisch, thank, but where? I am fairly new to Ubuntu having used WindowMaker for many years. [03:03] I'll try that, thanks === matt is now known as tropicflite [03:03] Netham45: Nope, nothing easier in the CLI [03:03] j-a-k-e, set menu to boot hd2,0 for your window install.. and try it [03:03] all I get parted to respond with is, "Unable to open /dev/sdb - unrecognized disk label' [03:03] runningduck: System-Settings-Session, it should be somewhere there i asume [03:03] Netham45: sudo parted [03:04] runningduck: atleast thats how i made it start on my eeepc [03:04] Flannel, that's what gave me the error [03:04] Could someone help me troubleshoot a sound issue? I have a Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02). All the clues say it should be working. It's recognized in lspci, lshw -c multimedia shows the card and it seems as if the modules are loaded. I have a theory on what might be happening. [03:04] I am trying to use an application, but the bottom part is not showing (my display is only 1024 x 768). any ideas? [03:04] Someone Help me View Youtube on PPC i have Gnash and Totem Plugins installed the videos just turn gray? and dont play whats up with that? [03:05] att0: if you press alt and drag anywhere on the window it will let you drag it around higher [03:05] i haven't been able to install the netbook remix following the launchpad instructions... many of the packages are missing after i add the repos to sources.list [03:05] Morchuboo: Perfect! Thank you [03:05] att0: np [03:05] Is there a command to search apt? I thought it was apt-search, but it seems that command doesn't exist? Did my knowledge of other distros creep in? [03:05] Netham45: try cfdisk [03:05] att0 is there an rc file for the app? [03:05] storm-zen: apt-cache search [stuff] [03:05] how can i make a ubuntu mail list? [03:06] storm-zen: apt-cache search [03:06] Hail all. [03:06] McFrosty: I don't want to discourage you, but I believe PPC is pretty much dead. I don't think developers care anymore for that architecture. [03:06] Flannel: lespea: Thanks. [03:06] storm-zen: apt-cache search [03:06] helo: did you refresh the package cache? like apt-get update ?or click refresh in synaptic? [03:06] yeah... [03:06] storm-zen: apt-cache show also gives you info on a package [03:06] mgolisch: sudo apt-get update [03:06] mgolisch: Oh, sorry [03:06] vocx, we dropped it back at edgy [03:06] helo: what machine are you trying to install it onto. I have had issues with MSI wind (Advent 4211) [03:06] mgolisch, hmmm, I think Canonical did something odd with my system, a Dell Mini 12 running 8.04+. maximus is not listed under Startup Programs, only under Current Session. I have tried many things with the Session applet, but it keeps coming back. Is there a good ol' fashion text file I can edit to get rid of the thing? [03:07] Jack_Sparrow: I know. But I believe some people haven't noticed. [03:07] Jack_Sparrow, if for some reason i have to do this again, is it possible to skip the system file installation? it's already there so i'm just redoing it with the boot loader in a useful place [03:07] Flannel, that's exactly the type of utility I was looking for. [03:07] Thanks. [03:07] apt-cache search (name of package) or category. [03:07] anyone know if a new tab can be created in gnome terminal without the menu bar being present? ( It interferes with jed? ) [03:07] runningduck: no idea i installed that stuff manualy on normal ubuntu, how did you install it? [03:07] mgolisch: yeah, i did an aptitude update [03:07] Barridus, Id let the installer do its' thing [03:07] storm-zen: ctrl+shift t [03:07] helo: what packages are missing? [03:07] Morchuboo: hp 1030nr [03:08] mgolisch: it was preinstalled from Dell. [03:08] Jack_Sparrow, ok, just seemed redundant. XD i'll stop worrying [03:08] kelbizzle: That's great! Thanks. :) [03:08] runningduck: oh i see [03:08] storm-zen: or you can right click on it [03:08] kelbizzle: Ah... [03:08] olá! [03:08] !hi [03:08] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:09] mgolisch: clutter, clutter-gtk, among others [03:09] libclutter is there [03:09] anyone here using screen? Can you share your .screenrc file? [03:10] helo: probably the instructions where for a different version of ubuntu? [03:10] How would I add something to my shell's config file? [03:10] brb [03:10] Guys, it is still doing it. Are there any more options? Again, I'm trying to type "sudo make install" and it gives me this: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

[03:11] guys whats the best emulator known to ubuntu [03:11] mgolisch: ahh... didn't notice the different release labels... heh thanks [03:11] In Ubuntu 8.04 I remember some graphical interface to specify the monitor model and resolution, it was run from the terminal with "displayconfig-gtk" or something. I can't seem to find access to that interface in Ubuntu 8.10, not from the command line or any other GUI. [03:11] bluedragon: emulator of what? [03:11] DIgital8: What do you mean? [03:11] like a super emulator for nintendo [03:11] sony [03:11] Digital8: How do I get to the correct directory? [03:11] videosmith: e.g. "cd /home/someplace" [03:11] gameboy [03:11] hmmm [03:11] videosmith: wherever the files are that you are trying to make [03:12] Digital8: alright thanks :) [03:12] godFather, do you have a .bashrc? [03:12] Can ubuntu use .RPM? [03:12] bluedragon: most of those emulators are at near-perfect fidelity and realtime performance, so "best" isn't particularly meaningful if you regard the consoles as equal [03:12] bluedragon: there are plenty. dont do emulation myself - search in add remove programs or synaptic [03:12] vocx: yes that is the thing [03:12] vocx: gksudo displayconfig-gtk [03:12] krazed: I think if you install alien you can use .rpm's == but I don't know how well it works [03:13] vocx: If you edit the menus (right click applications -- edit) its in the other group [03:13] krazed, yes it can use rpm. do a GIS for 'alien' [03:13] Evening, everyone! [03:13] krazed: ubuntu CAN use rpms through alien but results vary. best to find a deb. what are you trying to install? [03:13] evening! [03:13] hey plastic [03:13] Cpudan80: what group? [03:13] vocx: Other [03:13] vocx: its hidden by default [03:13] Morchuboo: VMware trial comes in .RPM and .bundle, I'm not 100% sure how to even go about using the .bundle file [03:14] Digital8: I gave it a shot and it does not recognize the directory. I'm not quite sure it's being done correctly. [03:14] krazed: what trail? [03:14] VideoSmith: linux is case ssensitive, be sure you're doing the caps right [03:14] usualy they have tgz too [03:14] vocx: the thing from the command line still works though [03:15] mgolisch: The one on vmware.com [03:15] Cpudan80: mmm... well, it didn't run. And it's not in "Other". Are you using 8.10? [03:15] Digital8: Under desktop, the extracted folder from the .tar.gz file is called kdenlive-0.7.1 and that's what I put. [03:15] krazed: what product? [03:15] vocx: Yes --- you need to run it with gksudo [03:15] VideoSmith: did you untar it? [03:15] krazed: and i think they have a tar.gz too [03:15] krazed: the bundle is probably a tar.gz - if so you need to extract it to a folder. [03:15] is there linux spyware? [03:15] vocx: You need to edit the menus to A) Display Other, B) Display Screens and Graphics in Other [03:16] Morchuboo: It just says .bundle which I found odd [03:16] VideoSmith: such as "tar -xvjf kdenlive-0.7.1" [03:16] Digital8: I selected "extract here" and it gave me a folder that is untarred sort of. [03:16] Digital8: Did I do it right? [03:16] VideoSmith: cd to that folder that you made [03:16] krazed: do file on it , it will tell you what it is [03:16] hi eimh [03:16] probably just need to make it executable then. from terminal do chmod +x [03:16] VideoSmith: cd /home/Desktop/kdenlive-0.7.1 [03:16] VideoSmith: for example [03:16] pingyofdoom: hello [03:16] Jack_Sparrow: ok i tried setting the windows drive to hd2,0 under the root setting. Now it just freezes after it shows the "starting up" message [03:16] hmmm [03:16] cd [03:17] VideoSmith: depending on whatever the folder is called, of course -- and be sure D is caps [03:17] eimh: I didn't think I would find you here [03:17] oh caps [03:17] kk [03:17] VideoSmith: cd means current directory [03:17] I wanted to install ubuntu, I downloaded the latest iso and burned it to a cd, but there wasn't a setup.exe in it? [03:17] How can i install ubuntu? [03:17] eimh: did you make a dvd already? [03:17] ubuntu does sound like a fun game... [03:17] yeah Digital8 i told VideoSmith how to extract his files [03:17] eimh: a number of ways, are you trying to dual boot? [03:17] Digital8: yep, still in my dvd-rom [03:17] eimh, reboot your PC with it in the drive. the rest is history =p [03:17] eimh: Boot off the CD [03:17] n00b-helper: what is a dualboot? [03:17] eimh: do you seek to install it on a raw hard drive? or within windows [03:17] VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.i386.bundle.part: a bash script text executable [03:18] Cpudan80: this is what I've got in "Other": Archive Mounter, Autorun prompt, Compiz, Decrypt file, Import key, Menu Editor, Metacity, Open folder, Theme installer, Verify signature. [03:18] Digital8: It still ain't quite working. [03:18] I have Xbox Media Center PPA in my third party software sources list but it doesn't appear in the software list after I reload it. What am I doing wrong? [03:18] VideoSmith: www.pastebin.com so we can see what's happening [03:18] eimh: do you have windows or another operating system installed on your computer, such that you would lke to be albe to chose between that OS or ubuntu when you start the computer? [03:18] Digital8: Will I lose my windows when I install ubuntu? isn't ubuntu a program-like-something? [03:18] vocx: you're missing stuff - [03:18] Jack_Sparrow - success! thank you for all the advice here [03:18] oh boy... eimh: see my private message [03:18] Anyone here use nubuntu? [03:18] Rapscallion: is there anything in that repo? where there any errors refreshing the package cache? [03:18] Cpudan80: that's all I got. This is puzzling, I tell you. [03:19] eimh: it is an entire operating system. it can, however, be installed within windows on the latest versions -- and can be installed side-by-side with windows as normal [03:19] vocx: Unless my stuff is left over from upgrading 7.10 --> 8.04 --> 8.10 [03:19] Looking for some help with Atheros AR242x Wifi and 8.10, i have followed many guides and still getting no where. Wondering if anyone could loan a hand or point me in another direction, i have tried madwifi and that didnt seem to work. =s [03:19] Digital8: hmm which should I prefer? [03:19] vocx: Can you apt-get install the thing? [03:19] Digital8: http://pastebin.com/d65940e9a [03:19] eimh: that depends on how you want to use it [03:19] mgolisch: no errors. I copied and pasted the repository path from the XBMC page [03:19] Digital8: I liked that cube style look, am I able to install just that feature? [03:20] eimh: compiz/beryl? as seen on youtube videos? [03:20] Digital8: yep, I think so [03:20] VideoSmith: type dir and pastebin it [03:20] How would I add something to my shell's config file? [03:20] Cpudan80: I tried running but "command_not_found" said nothing about it. [03:20] Digital8: I don't quite follow. [03:20] GodfatherofEire: add it to your ~/.bashrc [03:20] GodfatherofEire: someone told you before [03:20] VideoSmith: you didnt leave a space after the cd and before the / [03:20] vocx: All that thing does is edit the underlying xorg file ... you could edit it manually [03:21] eimh: i have not used the ubuntu-within-windows method myself, but if you want to play games and all that jazz as seen in some of the videos..i'd go with a full install (assuming you're comfortable doing so) [03:21] oh okay [03:21] VideoSmith: type dir in terminal [03:21] Alright. [03:21] VideoSmith: also typing "pwd" will tell you where you are (pwd = print working directory) [03:21] eimh: doing a full install is as simple as rebooting with the dvd in your drive [03:21] eimh: it will guide you to installing it in a side-by-side form, [03:21] eimh: if you have two computers, i suggest that you use a 2nd one to ask questions during the install [03:21] eimh: Yes you can install beryl, it works best if you have a good gfx card (non ATI) [03:22] I'm at /home/timothy [03:22] Cpudan80: I know, but it's simpler. Besides, I'd had to read on what exactly to edit. I'm not sure if it's in the "Monitor" section or where. [03:22] mgolisch, I didnt notice any name flashing [03:22] VideoSmith: you left the space out on the command you pasted us [03:22] vocx: yeahh.... did you try apt-getting it? [03:22] Digital8: alright [03:22] vocx: sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk [03:22] VideoSmith: just do "cd /home/Desktop" to start , and then do dir -- pastebin it [03:22] Digital8: thanks for your advice [03:22] ati works fine Digital8 [03:22] will consider it some more i guess [03:22] vocx: That is something that is apt-gettable [03:22] thanks for help [03:22] eimh: you're welcome [03:23] Digital8: should do ls - not dir [03:23] Cpudan80: yeah, it's not there, But maybe it's "libdisplaymigration0". [03:23] I have installed ubuntu, and I was wondering how to install openbox and compiz at the same time [03:23] VideoSmith: also "cd /home/Desktop" will not work, you need "cd /home/Timothy/Desktop/kdenlive-0.7.1" [03:23] h! guy$, I'm a fr33bsd hacker, s0 I kn0w my $h!t lolz i herd this Ubuntu is gud for hackr lik me, is it bettr then linus? [03:23] Cpudan80: yes, you're right..my bad -- haha [03:23] hi all [03:23] Cpudan80: I've spent too much time in windows [03:23] ben_m: are you joking? [03:23] Digital8: the command still works ;-) [03:23] pingyofdoom: compiz should be installed allready [03:23] gah ubuntu randomly freezed and i had to ctrl + alt + backspace =( [03:23] n00b-helper: wat [03:24] i'm not sure if i should be laughing [03:24] I think ls work in windows too .. [03:24] VideoSmith: ~ is also a shortcut to your own home directory so "cd ~/Desktop" takes you to your own desktop directory [03:24] ben_m: about the hacking and ubuntu and linus and all that [03:24] dosnt freeze as much as windows tho! [03:24] n00b-helper: other channel sed saim thing [03:24] also Digital8 its compiz [03:24] n00b: i'm laughing too [03:24] bobby: good, good. i'm not alone [03:24] Digital8: It's up.

[03:24] Cosworth1: on that one comment === bobby is now known as odium1 [03:24] VideoSmith: pastebin url? [03:24] pingyofdoom: how is that supposed to work? [03:25] yes i did Digital8 sorry [03:25] VideoSmith: you can then do "ls" and see what the folder is called before going into it with "cd " then try the "./configure" command [03:25] http://pastebin.com/m5a0f116e [03:25] pingyofdoom: there can only be one window manager at a time [03:25] shan3: You enter your password [03:25] shan3: sudo halt ..... === ZakK-- is now known as thebleh [03:25] Well how does Emerald work then? [03:25] VideoSmith: cd desktop [03:25] Cdudan80: I tried that... itdoesnt work... [03:25] VideoSmith: and then do dir again [03:25] ls* [03:25] ;) [03:25] shan3: what does it say? [03:25] VideoSmith: Desktop, sorry [03:25] shan3 That is the shutdown command [03:25] Cosworth1: haha, yes [03:25] hehe [03:26] Digital8: Alright.

[03:26] better yet, i'm trying to find the codecs for xine [03:26] anyone have experience with getting audio over hdmi on a asus EAH3450? [03:26] to play dvd's [03:26] !codecx [03:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about codecx [03:26] !codecs [03:26] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:26] Cpudan80: can you please do something like "dpgk -S displayconfig-gtk" That should give me an idea on where to search this program. [03:27] Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m22da6daf [03:27] I have a question: When i try and change the xorg.conf file using gedit it opens a new window (assuming it;s the xorg.conf file) but it's blank. [03:27] Why is it doing that [03:27] Cdudan80: ti shutdown i should type halt as the user name and root password as the password... if i type my password it simply goes back to entering the username [03:27] VideoSmith: do "ls" and pastebin [03:27] VideoSmith: no quotes, of course [03:27] vocx: executing...

[03:30] Cpudan80: mmm... but it's not in 8.10 repos... mmm... Let me double check.

[03:31] is there a site where there is a crib sheet for all of the terminal commands? [03:31] wine set my video mode and I want to reset it... are there any simple utils.? [03:31] VideoSmith: you're already in the right folder, but yes..thats how you'dg et there from scratch [03:31] It will go back to normal if I log out and log on. but...

That's the first PDF I've opened in Ubuntu [03:34] and oh sweet, sweet Jesus [03:34] what a pleasure [03:34] vocx: I am using 8.10 [03:34] j-a-k-e: please nopaste the menu.lst and the output of sudo fdisk -l [03:35] anyone using ubuntu in virtualbox with a windows host? [03:35] shan3 by entering nopasswd:/usr/bin/shutdown, it should let anyone wanting to shutdown the machine to be able to [03:35] hosified: whats the problem? [03:35] vocx: I had a hell of a time installing it too - the damn new formats and direct HAL configs are a PITA [03:35] Cpudan80: of course they use xorg.conf, but only to override defaults, unless you can prove me otherwise. And yes, probably yours is from the previous release. I just made a 8.10 fresh install. [03:35] Who's the admin here? [03:35] Digital8: How's she lookin? http://pastebin.com/m4531525f [03:35] VideoSmith: ./configure [03:35] vocx: No - xorg.conf file is gone -- it's all comments now [03:35] alright [03:36] vocx: all the lines are commented out [03:36] trying to get the screen to autoresize [03:36] n00b-helper, what do you need. please /join #Ubuntu-ops [03:36] yes [03:36] When itry and edit my xorg.conf I see no text is that a problem? and if not how do i add a modline?

ATI piece of crap [03:37] VideoSmith: just a moment [03:37] vocx: You'rs should be all comments :-P [03:37] Cpudan80, please tone down the colorful language. [03:37] This OS is amazing. How is MS still in business? [03:37] TheFunkbomb: why not? [03:37] Jack_Sparrow: aww but doesnt everybody hate ATI :-P [03:38] Cpudan80: I basically have things like "Section" "Automatically Configured Device" and such. But I was still able to override some option in my "openchrome" driver. That's why I'm telling you it's still used by the server. [03:38] Ive been asking myself that for 10 years, for reasons far greater than Ubuntu. :P [03:38] VideoSmith: before we go any further, may i ask if there is a particular reason you're trying to build this from source? [03:38] just wait a few more years, and the bug #1 will be solved a bit more [03:38] VideoSmith: there's actually a precompiled deb for this program [03:38] vocx: hmmmm [03:38] vocx: Is this 8.10 desktop or 8.10 server? [03:38] mgolisch: fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/m13ad95a9 and menu.lst http://pastebin.com/m2f403090 [03:38] Digital8: hmmm... I have no clue. I just want to download the program for my individual usage. [03:38] Does anyone here use nubuntu as an os? [03:38] VideoSmith: ok, do this [03:38] so Lite On dvd drives have an issue with Ubuntu ? [03:38] i am trying to install kubuntu and the installation seems to go through correctly but when it tries to boot into the system i get "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/77944048-0d30-486d-856f-8da948837dd6 does not exist. dropping to shell" [03:38] mgolisch, I have been using Windows since 3.1 I have never learned things so quickly than I have with Ubuntu. Plus, the people here are much friendlier than you'll find with MS people [03:39] Cpudan80: 8.10 desktop. And I meant the "X Server", or Xorg if you prefer. [03:39] mgolisch: I did try changing root to hd2,0 but can only get as far as "starting ip" before everything freezes [03:39] VideoSmith: go to system, administration, software sources [03:39] vocx: X is still used ... but I still dont think the conf file does anything [03:39] Can someone help me with my Ubuntu? My sound randomly stops working [03:39] vocx: Did you run that reconfig command? [03:39] TheFunkbomb: see bug number 1 ;) [03:39] !bug 1 [03:39] For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

My sound randomly stops working [03:40] VideoSmith: bring a terminal window back up and run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kdenlive dvgrab frei0r swh-plugins [03:40] Am i seeing things or does ubottu have '!bug 1' as swipe at windows? LOL [03:40] put most back, one at a time to make sure everyting was going well [03:40] my ubuntu wont even boot with my lite on dvd writer plugged in ? [03:40] vocx: what are you trying to do anyway?

[03:43] Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m441e5711 [03:44] vocx: yeah sounds like you have the wrong gfx card driver --- what card you using? [03:44] VideoSmith: are you on ubuntu or kubuntu? [03:44] ok can any1 tell [03:44] ubuntu [03:45] my fault [03:45] I downloaded a file /home//.fr-JtIGrJ/gnome-vm-20060818 from WWW. What does 'gnome-vm' stand for? [03:45] I have inherited a dell bluetooth keyboard, one of these: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/acc/P109356/en/setup.htm [03:45] adreignss: what's the question? [03:45] Good evening all [03:45] Cpudan80: I don't have the wrong driver. I have the S3 Unichrome Pro integrated graphics card, which used the "via" driver, but since 8.04 it uses "openchrome". [03:45] VideoSmith: just a moment [03:45] Digital8: If it means anything, although I'm using Konsole, it's GNOME desktop. [03:45] can any1 tell me how too get my crystal sound card to work with pulseaudio snd-cs4236 [03:45] I do not have the mouse and bluetooth dongle that came with it. My laptop has bluetooth built in. I'd like to get this working. [03:46] adreignss: did you check if it was supported? [03:46] vocx: hmmm [03:46] anyone here familiar with hlstatsx ? [03:46] noo i know in 8.04 it worked when i added it to ect/modules [03:46] vocx: unfortunately, I'd say you've kind of been left in the dust; the actively maintained open source drivers are getting better modesetting and xrandr stuff, so ubuntu has moved away from manual configuration [03:46] mgolisch: im not too sure what im doing really.. The windows drive is sdb (the 160gig ide master) ubuntu is on sdc the 30 gig ide and the sda 320 gig a sata drive [03:47] im using 8.10 now [03:47] adreignss ... and what steps did you take to get it working? [03:47] crdlb: but, are you sure I can't override this from xorg.conf? I just need a few Modelines or such, right? [03:48] pulseaudio is playing when i look at the volume meter but no sound out of speakers [03:48] puff: what have you done so far? [03:48] VideoSmith: sorry, just a moment still -- several things going on at once here [03:48] does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to erase some of the software sources from Ubuntu? [03:48] Digital8: No probs ;) [03:48] vocx: I would guess so, but I don't know anything about modelines [03:48] i had to add sound card to ect/modules but not in 8.10 [03:48] crdlb: But xorg.conf doesnt do anything ... [03:48] !modeline [03:48] A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl [03:48] adreignss: see my private message [03:48] n00b-helper: Well, I was trying to follow this tutorial: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html [03:48] butt3rz: it doesnt work... with the no password option in sudoers... [03:49] puff: how far did you get? [03:49] n00b-helper: The keyboard lights up and the bluetooth symbol glows bright blue on it, so I assume that the batteries are god. [03:49] Cpudan80: eh? [03:49] makes sense [03:49] crdlb: isnt the xorg.conf file totally deprecated ? [03:49] shan3: what window manager are you using? [03:50] Cpudan80, crdlb : In other PC, I had an nVidia card. I used the restricted manager to install the proprietary drivers, and it all went smooth, except the resolution was incorrect. So I used "displayconfig-gtk", selected the correct monitor, and it all worked perfectly. This was in 8.04, though. I'm telling you, this displyaconfig is the greatest thing, how come it lasted only one round? [03:50] xfce [03:50] The keyboard docs at dell say hold down the button on the back to make the keyboard detectable. The tutorial says run hcitool scan. No results (well, hcitool sees my neighbor's mac, two floors away, but). [03:50] butterz ^ [03:50] it seems that the launchpad netbook remix install instructions are incomplete... it doesn't mention anything about adding netbook-launcher to the gnome session, or what to disable so it will run properly... are there some other instructions for NBR in intrepid? [03:50] butt3rz: xfce [03:50] vocx: you could do something unorthodox .... [03:50] The keyboard has the MAC - actually I presume it's the "bluetooth device ID" - on the back. [03:50] Cpudan80: no, how do you think choose nvidia and fglrx? [03:50] and you have the option 'sudo shutdown -h now' in your slim.conf? [03:50] puff, can you see my private message? [03:51] vocx: put the HH repos in and grab that deb [03:51] crdlb: hmmm I was under the impression that it was all HAL files now [03:51] mgolisch: so I'm guessing I need to set the boot device to hd1,0 then? [03:51] crdlb: at any rate - it doesnt work exactly the same as before, some of the mode options dont work anymore [03:51] VideoSmith: just to test out while you're waiting on me, try this [03:52] VideoSmith: i want to see if we can resolve a couple of those first [03:52] VideoSmith: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg inigo [03:52] j-a-k-e: yeah try that [03:52] Cpudan80: yes, the xorg.conf is being slowly killed, but afaik it should still work for this [03:52] mgolisch: alright, I'll let you know how it goes. Either way, be back soon. [03:53] Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m15a507af [03:53] Cpudan80: I tell you, xorg.conf still does stuff. I don't know what you had to mess with, but HAL? That sounds creepy. [03:53] vocx: not hal directly [03:53] vocx: some stupid little files it reads [03:53] vocx: sure it does [03:53] why on earth they deprecated xorg.conf ... [03:54] they did not realy [03:54] you can still set stuff there [03:54] the driver should be able to modeset properly without user intervention [03:54] Cpudan80: I like the way it is now. It's simple. You can override stuff and don't bother about what you don't know. [03:54] that the via driver cannot is a bug which needs to be fixed [03:54] mgolisch: seems like they broke it apart before the ducks were lined up [03:55] works flawless here [03:55] VideoSmith: what all do you have checked under software sources? on the first tab there [03:55] had xorg working with my 260 gtx with just one click in jockey-gtk [03:55] to install and setup the nvidia driver [03:55] crdlb: just for clarification, it's the "openchrome" driver now. [03:55] vocx: ok, but I meant the driver for via hardware :) [03:56] Anyway, according to the tutorial the next step would be to add a device definition for the keyboard to /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf [03:56] worked instantly with 1920x1200 [03:56] :) [03:56] Digital8: I can't copy paste it, but there are two things there. I'll type them out. [03:56] But in my installation /etc/bluetooth doesn't have an hcid.conf. [03:56] VideoSmith: www.isarapix.com [03:56] hey Corpis nice to see ya in #ubuntu :D [03:56] VideoSmith: screenshot will suffice [03:56] also another good channel is #ubuntu-offtopic but this one is more for helpin' [03:57] Has anyone in here got a Dell 1525 that came with ubuntu? [03:57] Cpudan80: and what files are those you talk about? Where are they? [03:57] Digital8 please make links clickable by adding 'http://' to the links :) [03:57] oh ehh [03:57] eseven73: sorry, it's clickable in Pidgin [03:57] ah lol [03:57] Digital8: Too late sorry :P http://pastebin.com/m18177c05 [03:57] VideoSmith: Let me see the first tab. The one with checkboxes (universe, multiverse, etc) [03:58] what is netbook-launcher supposed to replace with netbook remix? [03:58] they are fdi files is /etc/hal/ [03:58] vocx: ^ === thebleh is now known as ZakK-- [03:58] can anyone here help me setup my bluetooth headset so ALL audio streams to it and the microphone works? or at least one or the other? [03:58] vocx: I messed around with the keyboard ones [03:59] butt3rz: i just added the sudo... still not working... how will sudo and the user's password (without mentioning the username) help when we have to do this in the display manager... when no user is logged in... [03:59] Digital8: It's loading on Isara. [04:00] Digital8: http://www.isarapix.com/index2.php [04:00] Anyone have any ideas why my sound would play threw my headset and my speakers on my laptop? Its using the HDA-intel driver of evilness [04:00] VideoSmith: take the image url from the little white field [04:00] VideoSmith: "Direct Link to Full Image" [04:00] Cpudan80: hehe, I only have one /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi and it's basically a template, does nothing. [04:00] Digital8: http://www.isarapix.org/pix60/1231646386.png [04:01] shan3: lookup which command it actualy calls for shuting down the server [04:01] darkdelusions: you can turn of the output of the speakers on your laptop, and leave the headphone on [04:01] shan3: it should be shutdown usualy [04:01] KingOfDos: I tried it.. it kills sound on both it seems [04:01] Lo, does anyone in here have the Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that comes with ubuntu already on it? [04:02] vocx: hmm I wonder what I have [04:02] darkdelusions: try to add other sources in the mixer [04:02] vocx: maybe you could try pulling that displayconfig-gtk thing from HH repos [04:02] on my laptop i've got a headphone and one for my speakers [04:02] mgolisch: '/sbin/shutdown -h now' thats what it was... i changed it to 'sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now' just now in /etc/slim.conf [04:02] and a master channel [04:03] vocx: yeah I dont have anything in there other than what I put in [04:03] VideoSmith: everything looks good there. show me what "cat /proc/version" says [04:03] Cpudan80: okay, thanks for the chat. I'm off. [04:03] shan3: what user does that slim thing run as? [04:03] Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m274574d8 [04:03] if its root you dont need the sudo [04:04] Digital8: Btw gotta love your patience ;) [04:04] can anyone here help me setup my bluetooth headset so ALL audio streams to it and the microphone works? or at least one or the other? [04:05] mgolisch: slim is the display manager... running as root [04:05] VideoSmith: thanks :) [04:06] mgolisch: so slim requires the root password to run the halt command [04:06] VideoSmith: what verison of ubuntu is that supposed to be? it's actually a tad bit newer of a kernel than mine even [04:06] hmm [04:06] VideoSmith: nevermind, this laptop hasn't been fully updated -- that's probably why [04:06] VideoSmith: it's 8.10, right? [04:06] Digital8: Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008. [04:06] shan3: why does it? [04:06] how can i make my vuze the default torrent handler? [04:06] shan3: if it runs as root it doenst need to use sudo [04:08] VideoSmith: go back into software sources [04:09] VideoSmith: and change the entry we added [04:09] Digital8: Remove it? [04:09] VideoSmith: change intrepid to hardy [04:09] Yo, what's happenin peeps! ^_^ [04:09] VideoSmith: actually, wait a second..they don't have any hardy files on this site [04:09] is there any way to speed up the load time on ubuntu? [04:09] mgolisch: yes thats what i was trying to say... but it does require you to give the root password... I just set the root password (enabled root) ad now it works... [04:09] VideoSmith: let me check with the site for that software again [04:09] hmmm [04:09] Does anyone else find when running IE w/ Wine it takes over the entire CPU core and only dies if you kill it? [04:09] Digital8: kk [04:09] anyone here use iptables! [04:10] mgolisch: but it doesn;t solve the problem for me because i am trying to make a redistributable system... [04:10] videosmith: go ahead and remove the one we addded for now [04:10] VideoSmith: and we'll see if that fixes those other errors [04:10] Digital8: Removed. [04:10] VideoSmith: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [04:11] Guess it is just me then. ;) [04:11] quick question - anyone familiar with SFTP files opening as read only in gedit? [04:11] Has anyone in here got a Dell 1525 that came with ubuntu? [04:11] is there any way to speed up the load time? also, what can i get rid of? i need drivers though [04:11] Digital8: The lady's running!!!!!! [04:11] brettley, YOu can lose the splash screen [04:12] VideoSmith: good, we can get all the deps then [04:12] Digital8: It's chugging through the process!!!!!!! [04:12] VideoSmith: i'll grab the names of the other ones and pastebin them for you [04:12] how do i build package from source? i got the sources using apt-get build-dep foo && apt-get source foo -- what now? [04:12] how can i make my vuze the default torrent handler? [04:12] anybody familiar with SFTP opening files as read only? [04:12] Weird question, does anyone know how to run a clustered ubuntu? What I want to do is combine two motherboards with AMD Phenom processors to make a video-grinding beast... Anyone got ideas? [04:12] I just finished install cairo-dock but where is it [04:12] Digital8: This look good? http://pastebin.com/m3d6538c0 [04:13] bluedragon, drop to term and type cairo-dock and after testing make a launcher for it [04:13] GregTheGerg: What video apps do you use that are cluster-aware? [04:13] anyone here ever use Xfce ? [04:13] Well, I don't know if it's cluster aware, but do you know if Handbrake is? [04:13] is xfce not so light anymore or what ? [04:13] batcoder-7: i have [04:13] a few people said it has got more hefty in the past few months ? [04:13] hmmm. Handbrake... might be. [04:14] VideoSmith: sudo apt-get install kdebase-runtime kdelibs5 libmlt++1 libmlt1 libqt4-dbus libqt4-svg libqt4-xml libqtcore4 libqtgui4 inigo [04:14] VideoSmith: those were the other ones it called for [04:14] batcoder-7: yeah also xubuntu uses quite a few gnome apps... i myself have switched to fluxbox [04:14] I would imagine it could, considering is has a max of 8 cores it can handle. ^_^ [04:14] Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m3d6538c0 [04:14] I keep having very buggy desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.10, title bars that become title, the squishy effect on windows never stopping, etc... [04:14] And so I just copy-paste that whole bit in? [04:14] VideoSmith: that first one (ffmpeg) went smooth [04:14] GEDIT not allowing ppl to open files thru SFTP? [04:14] How can I change the number of clicks required to activate an item in the task bar? [04:14] batcoder-7: its' put on a bit of weight from what ive heard too. Could just be a rumor though, its still lighter than KDE and gnome [04:14] any php programmers in here? [04:14] I am, beetlejuice_mast [04:15] what editor u use? [04:15] eseven73: yes definitely lighter [04:15] I use an editor called Kate, that comes with KDE, it has the best syntax highlighting I've ever seen. [04:15] i need to be able to edit remotely thru SFTP and gedit only allows me to open read only [04:15] does it have SFTP support? [04:15] shan3, i still want a DE ;) fluxbox was good in 95 though :P [04:15] Dunno, my guess would be yes, since KDE supports almost anything. [04:16] You may want to consider, if you have SSH access, SSHFS however. [04:16] sshfs? [04:16] VideoSmith: how's the next round coming along? [04:16] Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m2a4e1d1d [04:16] batcoder-7 there are a few good fluxbox distros out there... [04:16] Digital8: Seems smooth :) [04:16] shan3, like ? [04:16] VideoSmith: paste in sudo apt-get install kdebase-runtime kdelibs5 libmlt1 libqt4-dbus libqt4-svg libqt4-xml libqtcore4 libqtgui4 inigo [04:17] VideoSmith: ill see what the deal is with libmlt++1 [04:17] fluxubuntu is not one of them ;) [04:17] batcoder-7: i use linux mint fluxbox [04:17] sshfs allows you to access your files that are on another machine that you have ssh access too, it's really cool. Provided that your user is in the fuse group, then you can simply type "mkdir ~/remote_folder" then "sshfs user@host:/ ~/remote_folder" and you can access it exactly like it was your own [04:17] shan3, yea now that might be good is it debian based? [04:17] batcoder-7: its not the lightest fluxbox distro but it has everything [04:17] Digital8: http://pastebin.com/m4353f3d0 [04:17] nice [04:18] batcoder-7: its based on ubuntu [04:18] i seee [04:18] idk about my user being in the fuse group [04:18] VideoSmith: take the failed one out again [04:18] lightest is not what i care about just light ;) [04:18] But I'd still switch to kate, as I love it's syntax highlighting, it knows almost everything and has a butt that just won't quiet. [04:18] quit [04:18] ubuntu has a big following which keeps packages up to date [04:18] i'm using GNOME is that going to be a problem? [04:18] VideoSmith: libmlt1 that is [04:18] Nope [04:18] I have to suffer with GNOME for the moment now too. [04:18] batcoder-7, But also note we dont support mint users [04:18] shan3, xubuntu i am sure is still much lighter then regualr ubuntu [04:18] cool, well thanks for the help i'm going to go give it a try [04:18] Digital8: ?

[04:25] Uplink: download the torrent file, save it somewhere (like the desktop) and then double click it [04:25] mgolisch, pxe is not the problem, its the kernels lacking drivers for this laptops hardware [04:25] ziroday: then asks me to chose and application to open it with [04:25] j\mmy: ubuntu netbook remix is a set of programs to make ubuntu easier to use (from a UI sense) [04:25] oh [04:25] Digital8: PMs from where? [04:25] hmmm [04:25] j\mmy: it uses the same kernels [04:25] hmm, got hdmi audio working in vlc...but can't seem to get it to play in myth...anyone with experience here?

Its the recommmended method in these cases [04:27] Digital8: Feel free to send stuff to timothymark99@yahoo.com [04:27] Uplink: when double clicking the file on your desktop? [04:27] I am downloading gOS right now. What are your thoughts on it? I am trying to get my USB modem to work off a live CD, the computer does not have internet access.

KDE and Gnome's application button bar thing gets really tiny and unusable quickly [04:29] nope [04:29] er desktop, window manager doesn't matter [04:29] i will give that a look though [04:29] j\mmy: well you should try that, its the best way around it [04:29] i want to know how to detech my wireless using termnal? [04:29] maybe something that minimizes to icons or something [04:30] What is Ubuntu's current filesystem? I just read the new linux Kernel is going to be using EXT3 [04:30] j\mmy: its very easy, burn a live cd. Boot it up on your main computer, select "Make a bootable USB disk", then use the USB disk on the netbook [04:30] Elijah1: ubuntu uses ext3 by default [04:30] how long would a 8gb sandisk cruzer micro last with the limited cycles runing ubuntu?

[04:30] just to get rid of the f'ing boxstores install of winxp [04:30] i just need an estimation [04:30] =) [04:31] Elijah1: not sure, I believe HFS+ but could be wrong [04:31] weeks, months, years [04:31] brettley: it would be measured in years, but beyond that we cannot help you. [04:31] ziroday: Ok, yeah thats it. Which one is better HFS+ or EXT3? [04:31] i just need about a year of constant use [04:32] Elijah1: its hard to say, but you should be aware the linux cannot use HFS as a default file system. If using linux stick with ext3 [04:32] having problems with cairo dock [04:32] bluedragon, what problem [04:32] finished installing it but there is a terminal window open whenever it is open [04:32] if i close termiinal window it closes [04:33] ziroday: Thanks, Ok I was wrong, The new linux Kernel is going to be using EXT4 not EXT3 http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16854/ [04:33] you opening it from the terminal window? [04:33] Elijah1: it still has not been decided whether there will be ext4 support in the next version of ubuntu [04:33] yeah no other way to open it [04:33] bluedragon, Have you restarted since you added it to your sessions programs [04:33] is it normal for every single application that accesses my sound card to stall? except maybe mplayer... [04:33] add an & at the end of the command [04:33] mgolisch: ok I got it sorted, the boot device was hd0,0 and I had to comment out the two lines that map the hd0 to hd1 and vice versa [04:34] that should solve the issue bluedragon [04:34] IE, instead of "opera" it would be "opera &" [04:34] Elijah1, when is the new Linux kernel coming out and when is th new Ubuntu version coming due?

Because I set the kernel options, and I did wrote the correct values to /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/level and /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/autosuspend. uhci_hcd is still on the top of wakeup list in powertop. Can someone help me?

[04:36] i should say this in pm [04:36] qqx: The new Kernel is already out and Ubuntu 9.04 will have the EXT4 "option" and by 9.10 it should be default. [04:36] mib_eywuxr: maybe drivers you need to install in the vm. Just a guess... [04:36] It just says "permission denied". [04:36] KittenKoder: start nautilus with gksudo nautilus and go to your trash folder and delete the file [04:36] hi everybody. I've got this peculiar problem on Ubuntu. Today i've created a partition on another harddrive using gparted and i placed all my user files in there. Music etc, also pics for wallpaper. I've set a wallpaper to something in the menu/appearance. When i reboot the system, the background image doesn't set [04:37] anyone knows what could be the problem? [04:37] you're better off in a shell... but that's not forgiving either [04:37] timeracerr: that is because the drive is not mounted on boot [04:37] mib_eywuxr: check the restricted hardware if you have an ati or nvidia video card.

[04:46] KittenKoder: not sure what you mean [04:46] You mean wildcard/regular expressions? like cat *.txt [04:46] In Windoze is was %1 ... etc. [04:46] research bash regular expressions. :) [04:47] Like "python file.py" where "file.py" is replaced with what you click on through the GUI. [04:47] or bash scripting. It depends on how its being used. $1 i think in most shell scripts is the name of the first argument. $0 is the name of the command..

[05:13] snowveil: select grant and select the user and select no constraint, that should do it... [05:13] macvr: mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /media/seagate [05:13] Hey, is anyone able to play Yahoo's literati (java game) with Ubuntu?

[05:14] dude, just lock it down [05:14] Switch to WPA2 and you'll be good [05:14] linuxdude: you could put up a name for the net like Ilogurpackets [05:14] Or just look up their mac address in your router and block that mac address [05:14] linuxdude, why not slap some security on your AP? [05:15] linuxdude: you can try hacking his box when he connects, or making a proxy that returns every web request as something silly ;_P [05:15] ill just buy a new router the supports wpa === FD`AMD|tekster is now known as tekster [05:15] anyone here able to assist me quickly with getting my x-fi xtreme gamer sound drivers working? :< [05:15] omg how old is your router?

[05:17] yeah man.. [05:17] lol nsadmin [05:18] wait [05:18] somethingtodo, if he doesn't know how to lock down his wireless, think he could do that? [05:18] tekster, if I remember correctly they dont really support Linux [05:18] im going to there [05:18] the add/remove app is 'gnome-app-install' and appears to be a python app. [05:18] ERROR: Issue calling the dbus service:org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.UnmappedError.RbShellPlayerError.Code4: Playback position not available <-- i get this with conky.. how can i fix this? [05:18] LOL [05:18] quite impressive that it 0runs fast as it does. [05:18] i downloaded a driver that they have on their site, but having trouble installing [05:18] Hey, just saying what I would do. [05:18] not sure if it worked or not [05:18] poor dude can't even lock down his router. I bet has a b protocol [05:19] tekster, sorry, dont know then, last I heard they were still unsupported [05:19] is that like a b movie? [05:19] I'm sorry, I know I'm new to linux, but when people give me the answer I dont act like an ass about it [05:19] hm ok [05:19] macvr, I am able to mount, but still unable to write to it [05:19] tekster, but that was a while ago, so idk [05:20] Heh, I feel lucky that I got my resolution to finally stick at 1280x1024 [05:20] snowveil: you need to set apropriate permissions on the filesystem, so your user can write to it [05:20] yeah, im new to this whole ubuntu stuff. but i downloaded the driver, did the 'make' and 'make install' as it says, now when i reboot it should work right? [05:20] snowveil: in fstab u only need to mention the root , home , swap partitons ...... thats wierd , i'm not sure why u r not able to write , try restarting X or reebooting and check if the problem still exists [05:20] tekster: yeah [05:21] tekster do you have to reboot? [05:21] where are programs files stored looking for the cairo dock themes folder any suggestions [05:21] im about to reboot now actually [05:21] probabaly not but thats much easier [05:21] mgolisch, how would I go about doing that? [05:21] snowveil: where is the mount point and/or directory? and who is the owner of that directory? [05:21] let me re boot and hope that ubuntu doesnt freak out and not boot again [05:21] snowveil: using chmod/chown [05:21] mount point is /etc/seagate [05:21] snowveil: you might need to do a chown on it [05:21] Ok, so does anyone have any suggestions on video capture software? [05:22] /etc/seagate? weird spot [05:22] I created it [05:22] why there? [05:22] why not? [05:22] erm [05:22] lol [05:22] I'm sorry :) /media/seagate [05:22] ok ok [05:22] snowveil: goto a terminal and do an ls -al /media/seagate [05:22] snowveil: are you the only using that drive? [05:23] and see who the owner is [05:23] you know, that may be it...I created /seagate as root [05:23] the owner is root [05:23] who else [05:23] duh [05:23] if thats not been changed [05:23] :) [05:23] * tanis143 flops on the couch that just happened to be in the channel [05:23] yup, root root [05:23] Is it possible to reset or change user password by editing /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow [05:23] you probably want to run sudo chown username:username -R /media/seagate/ [05:24] snowveil: chown yourusername:yourusername /media/seagate [05:24] oh..yah -R [05:24] heh [05:24] dont forget sudo mrwes [05:24] nod [05:24] Asad2005: not realy [05:24] well, rebooted and still no sound :/ [05:24] I think I could get back into IRC, been so long since I've been an addict [05:24] Asad2005: unless you can gerate the hashes yourself, but thats a bad idea usualy [05:25] Asad2005: just use passwd [05:25] And now that I've given up gaming, I've got to find something to waste my time with [05:25] rebooting really is a windows concept, usually not needed in Linux [05:25] tekster: once you build the driver you may need to run sudo modprobe [the module name] [05:25] i see [05:25] have to figure out how to do that [05:25] i know the intel one is snd_hda_intel depends on the driver [05:26] hey everyone, I have a little problem, I am trying to access my init.d file, but in terminal it only shows up when I do the 'locate' command [05:26] nano doesnt open it up [05:26] where would i see the module name? [05:26] what up with adobe flash in fire fox it kind of sucks [05:26] flannel, pici: BUG FILED oops sorry [05:26] mgolisch, Is this only because of shadowing ? I mean if a system is with out a shadow then deleting the password field in /etc/passwd will do ? [05:26] ok, ran chown [05:26] any suggestions [05:26] jalonso: sure its there? [05:26] go to [05:26] init.d is a folder not a file [05:26] would it be in the folder that was created after the tar zxvf etc [05:26] watchanimenow.com [05:26] jalonso, make sure you type in the directory properly, linux is case sensitive [05:26] this meso notebok has no capslock light. [05:27] well what sound card is it? may have to google it [05:27] drwxr-xr-x 2 mike mike 4096 2009-01-10 23:58 . [05:27] drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2009-01-11 00:18 ..

[05:27] k let me see if i can find it [05:27] it was the driver that they have for linux on their site [05:27] mgolisch: tanis143: it shows up when I do the 'locate' command, but when I nano it, it shows up as a blank file [05:27] Godfather, its the prtscn key, just have to hit shift [05:27] is Wine usable? I last played with it in 1995. [05:28] mgolisch: tanis143: is it blank by default? [05:28] david, I use it just fine [05:28] jalonso: locate uses an index file, it only holds files/folders of the time the index was created [05:28] tanis143, nope [05:28] I dunno, jalonso, I'm a newbie myself [05:28] sweet [05:28] jalonso: that doesnt mean anything [05:28] Really? [05:28] jalonso: look if ls lists it, if not its not there [05:28] What keyboard do you have Godfather? [05:28] tanis143, yeah [05:28] Logitech S520 [05:28] jalonso: init.d is a folder not a file...thats why it shows up blank [05:28] wine is struggling mightily to fire up internet exploder [05:29] what is the file extension usually for a module? [05:29] iggykoopa: Oh [05:29] you can manually update the 'locate' database 'sudo updatedb' [05:29] tekster: .ko [05:29] k ty [05:29] hi all... i just noticed that when i right click an empty space and choose "create document" i now have an option> 'logFile' ... i didnt have this in ubuntu 8.04 is this a new 8.10 feature or why has this crept into the options? [05:29] iggykoopa: thats what I needed to know, now on to the E17 IRC channel [05:29] well, no .ko files in this [05:29] david, why on earth would you want to use IE?

I just don't understand why I can't read a bunch of files off of the mounted iso [05:34] or hacking the cd to load the usb storage driver during setup [05:35] egaudet, if anyone has done it, probably ##windows will know [05:35] help where is the cairo themes folder located lol [05:35] plz [05:35] egaudet try the windows chanel on irc [05:35] egaudet, and this ain't that place [05:36] ok i'll try that channel, thanks guys [05:36] iggykoopa: still havent found anything on the creative site yet thats useful :/ [05:37] how to install a theme in cairo from gnome-looks [05:37] bluedragon, I've never heard of cairo themes ....

[05:45] haha lulwut that's what I just spent a bunch of time doing [05:45] yes macvr [05:45] bluedragon, then you most likely don't have cairo-dock installed. It's an alternate to the normal gnome panel [05:45] it's installed [05:45] snowveil: did you figure it out and can you help me? [05:45] What's the command line to eject disc? >_> [05:45] Greetings, I have an unrecognized MP3 player, could someone help me to use dmesg ? [05:45] bluedragon, if you do, just create the directories: mkdir -p ~/.cairo-doc/themes [05:45] Anyone have any idea's on a good program for video capture? [05:45] lulwut: what filesystem is on it? [05:45] lulwut, open up terminal and type "ls -al /media/home" [05:45] IT is ext3 [05:45] without the quotes [05:46] display the output [05:46] bluedragon: /home/bluedragon/.cairo-doc should exist , else as ^nickrud said [05:46] also, do the same for another drive you have mounted under media [05:46] ls -al /media/home total 24 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-01-10 01:58 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2009-01-10 02:23 .. drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2009-01-10 01:58 lost+found [05:47] (unrecognized mp3 player) I tried lsusb, and did a diff, comparing the results when the device was not plugged in, they were the same :( [05:47] You have your permissions set wrong lulwut [05:47] ok do these two things [05:47] do both: sudo chown username:username -R /media/home/ and sudo chmod u+rwx -R /media/home/ === tanis143 is now known as Tanis143 [05:47] if i install windows 7 will it mess up GRUB? [05:47] sudo chown -R username:username /media/home [05:47] ups you can leave the x away :) [05:47] and then sudo chmod go= /media/home [05:48] Neondog82 it would overwright it [05:48] pici thx for the ies4linux tip.

[05:49] Neondog82 yep [05:49] are there any microsoft specific channels around ? [05:49] tanis did it work? [05:49] lulwut: if adam is your username, yes [05:49] speaking of MS Money...is there any hope for tax software under linux, or can you run taxcut/turbotax under wine?

If I needed to rebuild my box for a dual boot machine that's booted into ubuntu 90% of the time for programming and multimedia work, and winxp for 10% of the time for some gaming, should i be looking at intel cpus, or amd? and which sort of video hardware should i look for that will give decent cross-platform support? [06:15] davidma, get virtualbox and run xp/vista in there. You can run them in their native environment, no subtle bugs due to wine [06:15] user1_: i just pluged the thumbdrive back in after running that command [06:15] nickrud is this commerial or O/S [06:15] nickrud: thats a good idea [06:16] Is there any obvious reason that "setup (hd0)" would fail in grub? (errror: cannot mount selected partition) [06:16] davidma, open source. You can also use their free as in beer one if you need usb [06:16] mgolisch: oh got ya, is ehci_hcd specific for your needs or should I run that command as well ?

[06:22] smartguyz: it is [06:23] mgolisch: no nothing is returned,, which means it's a usb 1.1 .. right?

I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on my machine and when I try to install it, it says I/O Error Reading Disk and when I try to try ubuntu without installing it on my machine...it gives me pages of errors. What is the problem? I am using the CD they sent me... [06:27] YANP: Sounds like the drive is failing [06:28] So my CD Rom drive is dead? [06:28] or your hd [06:28] YANP: does it work in other OS's? [06:28] yanp i had similar problems, and ended up doing an 'alternate' install using usb flash and network [06:28] but that was complicated. [06:28] i'm startin8g to dislke CDs anyway. slow. [06:28] I haven't tried it on a different machine. My computer is only two years old... [06:29] i usualy do install using debootstrap anyways [06:29] :) [06:29] yanp do you have a flash drive [06:29] * nickrud smacks mgolisch [06:29] Yeah, 1gb [06:29] well age has nothing to do with it, a drive can fail after its first 5 mins [06:29] I am a noob... :-\ [06:29] YANP: does it have a check cd contents option or something similar? [06:30] It has check cd for defects option [06:30] eseven73: it can, but age *does* have something to do with it. Are you familiar with the bathtub curve? Failure rates do increase with product age. [06:30] yeah the install cds should have that [06:30] YANP: instead of claiming you're a noob or whatever, just say you don't want to work all that hard for results... [06:30] tritium: I know but i was jut making a point [06:30] YANP: try that and see what it says [06:30] nsadmin, I am a noob..I have been trying for 3 days now... [06:31] yanp do you have another OS alraedy on the box? see if you can read the CD there [06:31] what's your point in saying so, out of curiousity? [06:31] My computer freezes too..or maybe it is the drive that freezes [06:31] if you get really ambitious copy it to a flash drive. [06:31] buensss.... alguna mujer que me entienda? Je [06:31] and boot off the flash if your bios supports it [06:32] davidma: but if his drive went I don't think it would copy [06:32] YANP: I'd like to suggest you run a memory test program [06:32] probably true [06:32] It is 1gb ram [06:32] I think you should test it [06:32] posted goodnight..... [06:32] Okay. [06:32] smartguyz, now give me the link so I can see it [06:33] if your computer freezes, I'd want to know if it's the computer or somethign running on it [06:33] Has anyone else ever had Ubuntu destroy the bootmgr on a seperate, Vista partition? [06:33] yanp i would try to find another box and put the CD on a flash drive. Look up syslinux too, you'll need to make the flash drive bootable [06:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/103397/ [06:33] I am going to look for that USB Flash drive thing. [06:33] yanp there are some wiki pages on doing a flash install. [06:33] google will turn them up [06:33] I had a drive that gave me I/O errors... the cable was only half way pluged in [06:34] smartguyz, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras , that will install flash 'the ubuntu way' [06:34] hello all [06:34] davidma, I am reading the ubuntu page right now.

[06:40] smartguyz, because if every one pasted here it would be impossible to work here [06:40] mgolisch: I can press +t and open a terminal on the 2nd monitor and run everything fine. It's just when I click things from the panel. [06:40] Cotowar: Which client? [06:40] nvm, im dumb [06:40] my problem is i cannot use 3945 wifi card in ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid kernel version 2.6.27-9-generic when i use network manager 0.7.0 to create a new Ad-hoc connection NM applet icon runs for few sec. and wireless option greys out... iam using restricted common blah blah ...what to do any solution [06:40] ??? [06:40] i just got it [06:40] I know UBUNTU is the future but you are giving me a hard way to go...... [06:40] smartguyz, we're happy to help, but we've been doing this a long time and have learned what works [06:40] Cotowar: It is ok, we love you anyway ;) [06:41] smartguyz: irc is not the best medium for large quantities of info [06:41] my problem is i cannot use 3945 wifi card in ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid kernel version 2.6.27-9-generic when i use network manager 0.7.0 to create a new Ad-hoc connection NM applet icon runs for few sec. and wireless option greys out... iam using restricted common blah blah ...what to do any solution [06:41] any 1 [06:41] ??? [06:42] irc in combination with other ways is more helpful === _sigterm is now known as sigterm [06:42] rokr1, I am using 3945 for a long time now, but have never used it for adhoc. should work ok though. [06:42] hey guys, i am having an issue with my external HDD, i connected it to a friend's pc, which is a Windows OS, and now it will not mount [06:42] rok1: did you already try ndiswrapper? [06:42] wow [06:42] I use video but I am unable to view flash at the moment [06:42] huge number of people [06:42] rok1: or b43, or similar [06:42] use video for training [06:42] is there any one here who knows unix shell scripting and can help me [06:43] it works for me .... [06:43] can i use wicd instead of NM...?? [06:43] rokr1: if you know where to obtain your windows drivers, ndiswrapper could do the job [06:43] <_Cid> good :) [06:43] smartguyz, so, did that command work? [06:43] microchip420, you have to force it through a terminal try this; sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o force [06:43] does anyone else have a problem with random freezes in Ubuntu 8.10? my laptop randomly freezes up and I have to hold the power button [06:43] will it help [06:43] ?? [06:43] rokr1: ndiswrapper allows you to use a windows driver in ubuntu [06:43] sarmisak, do i need to insert the name of the HDD? [06:43] no my ubuntu is working fine, but it doesn't seem to download a driver when i ask it too [06:43] rokr1: there's lots of good guides on the forums on how to use it [06:43] microchip420, you should switch /dev/sdb1 with the correct device name, yes [06:43] joljam: What kinda scripts? [06:43] kk, just a sec [06:44] rokr1: i think i saw that somewhere, i think it had to do with some of the wlan stacks configuration modules not properly detecting the country settings from the device firmware, it had to do that with some country profiles certain wlan channels can not be used or something [06:44] nsadmin: no I already have the latest 1 o files updated.... [06:44] i get this problem both after screwing in my kernel a bit, and from a clean install. I've been keeping tabs on what and when the crash happens though [06:45] ok ndiswrapper i get ndisgtk that one [06:45] ??? [06:45] too [06:45] ????????? [06:45] rokr1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:45] My problem is : i wanna download a nvidia graphics accelerator . [06:45] i've tried the system>admin>hardware driver, but it freezes at 0% [06:45] i've also tried changing my software sources, but same [06:45] rokr1: i'm too unfamiliar with it, i'd only be able to read information from the forums to tell you.. [06:45] How do I send messages between PCs on my home network? other than ytalk [06:45] ok ok my bad [06:46] Can someone please try to play Literati on Yahoo Games? I desperately want to get that to work so I can ditch Windows all together [06:46] rokr1: but i can tell you that it does work at least with some cards, i've tried it myself [06:46] <_Cid> johninlex: echo foo | write johnin :-) [06:46] my card is 3945 [06:46] funk, whats you're probelm?

[06:46] TheFunkbomb, i play on occasion... have no problems with it [06:46] it is Java based [06:46] michaelyao: I had a similar problem when I first installed, mine was because I was already running a package manager at the time but there wasn't an actual error displayed about this being the problem [06:46] oh, heres another couple of random problems I have with 8.10 [06:46] had problem with X3100 but it was solved [06:46] sloopy, well, at least I know it can be done [06:47] rawr too many people asking for help, too little exp people [06:47] but problem with 3945 [06:47] how do i get an external monitor to work in 8.10? [06:47] err, are you using firefox? [06:47] johninle: try "net send * [message]" [06:47] man tats tooo much [06:47] have you downloaded flash etc? [06:47] sloopy, what java do you have installed?

[06:47] sarmisak, you still there? [06:48] michaelyao: I had a similar problem when I first installed, mine was because I was already running a package manager at the time but there wasn't an actual error displayed about this being the problem [06:48] microchip420, yeah [06:48] _cid that did not work [06:48] sarmisak, pm? [06:48] panda, i'm freezing at -% [06:48] I was as well [06:48] downloading graphics card? [06:48] I am running separate X sessions on dual monitors connected to an nvidia 8800gt on Ubuntu 8.10. Any time I click a program from the panel of the second monitor, the panels freeze and sometimes a blank error message pops up. I can open programs on the 2nd monitor from the command line. What could be causing this? [06:48] are you sure you don't have any other package managers running [06:48] <_Cid> johninlex: why not, did it say? you just looking to echo a message to someone else on the same machine? [06:48] i've run hardwar driver by itself, so there no 2 package manger runnign [06:48] and i've also changed my softwar sorce to random places [06:49] michaelyao, that site worked fine [06:49] <_Cid> johninlex: oh, sorry - you said to other PC - you want to look into net send [06:49] let me try yahoo games again [06:49] yeah [06:49] smartguyz, so I'm going for food... if you want to get better results try being: specific, informative, concise, complete... oh, and after the burrito, I'm practicing scales [06:49] I don't think changing to random places will work [06:49] kk, huh [06:49] ok [06:50] <_Cid> johninlex: sorry, never done that before, looking now - guessing there is something as part of samba [06:50] sarmisak, pm? [06:50] i have a thinkpad t61, and in 8.04 I could connect an external monitor, but in 8.10, I cannot. the monitor is the same in both cases, but 8.10 does not even recognize it is there. Can anyome help me solve this? [06:50] it worked! [06:50] Hallelujah [06:50] johninlex: you could set up a jabber server [06:50] <_Cid> johninlex: is you just type in 'net send' it gives pretty good help :) [06:51] no, it just bombed FF out [06:51] yea _cid I was reading on it now [06:51] nsadmin: I pasted all the information here http://paste.ubuntu.com/103397/ this is my problem in detail.... what more do you want....? [06:52] Darksotm What is jabber server [06:52] a chat server [06:52] smartguyz: do you really want to know? [06:52] smartguyz, you never pasted the results of the command I asked you to run [06:52] I want a burrito, a pony, three chicken tacos... and hold the cilantro please! [06:52] johniinlex: It lets you run your own instant messanger server [06:53] it makes me force quit the window [06:53] nsadmin, wrong device, you need a phone [06:53] smartguyz: did you try going to youtube, and adding gnash when the flash vid won't work? that's how I always do it [06:53] I have a phone... wanna burrito :P [06:53] anyone using hyperV [06:53] ok, so I'll be around after awhile [06:53] nickrud: the results is nothing happened did you read th last line....? [06:53] I generally add gnash, swf, and the third option in there just so I know it will work [06:53] johninlex: I used to have on set up in side my network to talk to my brother across the house [06:54] Dark I was just wanting to let other people that uses my network to know if I was going to shut it down [06:54] smartguyz, no, it got cut off. the bots cut off more than 3-5 lines. That's why we use http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:54] rokr1: you can try reloading the cfg80211 module with for forcing a regulatory country profile [06:54] johninlex: then net send is pry your best bet [06:54] smartguyz, used to be people would paste 100+ lines here, no one could work till they all scrolled by [06:54] but see there is two computer that is Windowzzzz [06:54] nickrud: he did, he pasted... now I'm gone... really... [06:54] colowar: yes I did same results nothing no video.... [06:55] nsadmin, no, that was the results of the adobe flashh installer [06:55] that's dumb [06:55] oh ok [06:55] i remember i had a hell of atime with it once...im trying to remember what I had to do [06:55] give him the pastebin pipe script [06:55] !pastebin pipe [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin pipe [06:55] rokr1: like sudo modprobe -r cfg80211 abd sudo modprobe cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=64 [06:56] johninlex: I used to broadcast net send * in the windows computer labs at school [06:56] smartguyz: i noticed you were in no particular directory in your pastebin post [06:56] Cotowar, depends on what's been done already. Sometimes it takes more surgery, sometimes less [06:56] ok installing it now through Synaptic [06:57] smartguyz Download http://pastebin.ca/download/paste2pastebin.pl and install libwww-mechanize-perl. Then pipe your output to perl paste2pastebin.pl. You can also "aptitude install pastebinit" if you are on lenny/sid. Upload a file to http://pastebin.ca/upload.php pipe to "nc paste.dyndns.org 1234". [06:57] Costwar: /usr/lib/firfox not found....? [06:57] nickrud: i couldn't get it from a clean install, only one time though, every other time has been cake [06:58] Cotowar, probably a time when adobe had a new version out, but ubuntu hadn't updated it's installer [06:58] smartguyz: have you gone to www.adobe.com and saved a .deb package to your desktop? [06:58] nickrud: exactly the problem [06:58] yep [06:58] johninlex: I'm not sure but windows *may* have turned this feture off by default [06:58] I can't open my DVB card with VLC or xine. After installing dvb-utils, I noticed this issue with udev: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103400/ [06:59] I'm using Google Earth. Does anyone know what the green and brown blocks all over the map mean? Can't find it in the help docs. [06:59] Colowar: yes I have.... [06:59] well we will find out in a few sec I have my laptop beside me to find out [06:59] the ./flashplayer-installer should be in the package [06:59] i think... [06:59] green=grass brown=dirt? [06:59] im not that awesome with linux, all i really do is programming and facebook [06:59] tritium, that's really old school, pre udev. And I can't get my dvb working either. [06:59] hi guys, was hoping to ask about openvpn. my vpn connection works using the command line, but doesn't work with the plug-in for the network applet [07:00] google earth runs on ubunto? [07:00] nickrud: which is old-school? dvb-utils, or the error? [07:00] but honestly im just trying to think of all the things that i get stuck on myself [07:00] davidma: yes, google has a repository for it [07:00] great! [07:00] davidma: ya I got it on mine, native too [07:01] davidma: as well as a few other apps [07:01] !googleearth [07:01] Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [07:01] Anyone here using RT2860 with WPA? [07:01] nickrud: note that I *could* use my DVB card with xine and VLC on 8.04 [07:01] tritium, the error. that static dir is a holdover from when all devices were created at once , not dynamicallly using udev [07:01] * RyeBrye wonders if ubottu can be set up to respond via PM - because seriously... how many people give a crap about the download URL for google earth? [07:02] well thanks all. [07:02] RyeBrye, /msg ubottu [07:02] apt-get vs. aptitude....everyone's thoughts? [07:02] Hi, I have a Dell Vostro 1500 that I'm installing Ubuntu Ibex on, and I'm trying to set up wireless. ifconfig -a shows wlan0, but it doesn't show in normal ifconfig and it won't connect [07:02] nickrud: I wonder why I'm getting that on 8.10, then [07:03] hi there [07:03] suggest a nes rom emulator [07:03] <_Cid> Cotowar: personal preference :) I like apt-get [07:03] tritium, you should file a bug, maybe. I just looked in there and nearly all the old devices are no longer created [07:03] hi purple [07:03] !!! [07:03] !emerge [07:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about emerge [07:03] tritium, used to be over a thousand entries there [07:03] !portage [07:03] Cid: doesn't apt-get just get the stuff you ask it to get though? [07:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about portage [07:04] nickrud: thanks for checking. I do have a ton of entries listed there. [07:04] <_Cid> Cotowar: what else do you want it to do? [07:04] Cid: dependencies [07:04] tritium, heh. I have less than 50 [07:04] <_Cid> Cotowar: nah, does that too [07:04] Cid: I've heard the difference is that aptitude will remove the dependencies if you used it to install, whereas apt-get will leave them there [07:05] Cid: i fear extraneous files...it reminds me of my windows days... [07:05] Cotowar: no longer an issue, since apt-get autoremove does the same thing [07:05] apt-get will remove if you use apt-get autoremove [07:05] <_Cid> Cotowar: hehe ..apt can clear those..but true..its an extra command [07:05] ooo [07:05] <_Cid> Cotowar: what Dark said :P [07:05] :) [07:05] tritium, well, less than a 100 [07:05] nickrud: 289 items in my /dev/.static/dev/ [07:05] I still like emerge, nothin' beats an ebuild [07:05] <_Cid> Cotowar: I gotta admit, i never even really looked at the alternatives, I came from Debian, and just love apt-get .... habbit I guess [07:06] anyone? [07:06] tritium, what dvb?

Strangely, I have the opposite :) Haven't really troubleshot it much yet [07:07] bazhang: there's no page for 8.10 [07:08] _cid that would work but I am having a little trouble trying to figuare it out [07:08] should I use the Hardy page? [07:08] Berzerker, should work [07:08] nickrud: hmm [07:08] anyone get twin to work in intrepid? [07:09] tritium, got the firmware in place, and it's recognized. myth sees the card, but doesn't play hd. That's as far as I've had the inclination or time to mess with.

Any time I click a program from the panel of the second monitor, the panels freeze and sometimes a blank error message pops up. I can open programs on the 2nd monitor from the command line. What could be causing this? [07:09] nickrud: yeah, mythtv works with the card just fine. It's just xine and vlc that can't, and those post-install errors have me puzzled [07:10] Hi, I have been affected by the Advanced Power Management issue (I fixed it now), and my Load_Cycle_Count on my primary drive is very high. Should I be worried about the disk failing catastrophically? [07:10] Cid: I tried starting on Ubuntu 7.10, then moving to Gentoo... I was completely lost. I even have trouble in Fedora 9. Its cool though, I have no fear when it comes to screwing up my computer. I can just pop in the Live CD and reformat it [07:10] bazhang: apt-get install doesn't find b43-fwcutter or b43-firmware [07:10] lee1733: check the X log for an idea whats wrong [07:11] Berzerker, do you have the repo enabled [07:11] tritium, I wouldn't expect anything to actually use those static devices anymore. Back when I was following kernel stuff, roughly during the switch from devfs to udev, the talk was of simply dropping all the static stuff. some complained, so the static ones got moved.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:26] Cotowar, no, but maybe you can and report back to us [07:26] lolwut [07:26] hang on, i forgot to type my response [07:26] lol [07:27] ushimitsudoki: are you familiar with network sharing? when I right click to share a file it then errors back telling me I do not have authority and to contact my network admin [07:27] mattgyver: ctrl+shift+v or right-click and select "paste" [07:27] hy [07:27] Is there somewhere you can tell the system what actions require your pw? [07:27] rodgermud, im trying to paste selected text into the terminal, pretend no mouse [07:27] why would enabling any Nvidia grafix driver through hardware drivers, cause ubuntu to freeze on startup after restart? [07:28] asl plz? [07:28] lolwut: I'm sorry I don't know where one right-clicks to share a file [07:28] then cntrl+shift+v [07:28] you have to add the shift to the normal routine [07:28] lolwut: the way firewire is set up give it direct access to the physical RAM chip in the computer, meaning anyone with access to the firewire port can theoretically steal the data in your RAM, and can also run memory overflows and such without the OS being able to stop it [07:28] holis: 13/f/fl [07:28] ushimitsudoki: I can right click a folder to enable sharing, but it says that I do not have permission [07:29] lolwut: in Nautilus? [07:29] ushimitsudoki: I recall seeing that name [07:29] Grayvon visudo is used to edit your sudoers file - you to define no password for certain actions. [07:29] Hey [07:29] ushimitsudoki: I did dl the windows file sharing thing just now [07:29] Cotowar: I can't find it but basicly it encrypt your file system and keeps the key on a usb drive so you can't boot with out it let alone read anything [07:30] yea, thats what im talking about [07:30] _cid thank you and I will do more studing on these two and get them working and again thank you for your help [07:30] why would enabling any Nvidia grafix driver through hardware drivers, cause ubuntu to freeze on startup after restart? [07:30] try looking up truecrypt [07:30] and you to Darksotm_ [07:30] okies [07:30] im having trouble with xournal, the input is not acting correctly. there seem to be edges for the stylus on the xournal paper that i cant draw over, but the paper extends beyond the edges of the stylus limits. anybody know how to troubleshoot xorg.conf (on Intrepid) still? [07:30] PS, i need to get an ironkey [07:31] Knotts: do you know where in the process it is freezing up? [07:31] Cotowar you pry don't need an ironkey [07:31] <_Cid> Cotowar: thats not a real vurnability :-) [07:31] ushimitsudoki: it freezes before login, right after loading page. thats all i can tell. [07:31] lol. but it fricking explodes if you dont know the pw [07:32] bazhang: i don't think i'm going to get it working [07:32] <_Cid> Cotowar: did you hear about the security leak in the keyboard? ...someone can enter commands and get output back :) Physical access can't be made 'hacker-safe' ...I get the feeling we are drifting off-topic here btw [07:32] if you just encryp the files in the file system and save a few bucks [07:32] i can install a binary, because one hasn't been compiled (and released), and I can't go from source, because then I have to track down all the packages needed to do that [07:32] ushimitusudoki: only way i can get around it, is to use the fix xserver command. [07:32] bazhang: ^^^ [07:32] Grayvon: Administration/Login Window - to setup no password option' === Berzerker is now known as Berzerker|away [07:32] Knotts: Did you try to use grub to boot into single mode? This will give you the command line instead of going right into X. Then, you can use "startx" to try to load X. That way you might be able to see the errors better. Maybe take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:33] help install ubuntu 8.10 [07:33] ushimitsudoki: Nautilus has nothing to do with sharing over a network does it? [07:34] Cid: nah i mean the way its set up. USB for example, does not have direct memory access, thus the OS knows what you are doing, and can prevent memory overflows. granted, there are software workarounds, but im just saying, Ubuntu has no clue what you are sending over firewire. [07:34] lolwut: no. that is why i don't understand what you are talking about right-clicking on. I use NFS to share files myself. Samba is another option. [07:34] lolwut: samba is a popular way of sharing over the network (windows sharing) [07:34] c'e qualcuno italiano? [07:34] ushimitsudoki: how do i boot into single mode with grub? [07:35] hey i know this isnt the perfect place to ask, but could anyone recommend a really quick/fast booting distro that i can run on my desktop primarily for web browsing and music? [07:35] Does anyone here follow ReactOS? its basically an opensourced version of Windows XP [07:35] Knotts: at system boot, you should be able to press "ESC" to see the grub menu ... like after your BIOS loads and devices are checked ... in the menu that comes up then, it should be the second option ... this is from memory but I think it's right [07:35] Cotowar: i do [07:35] aata: ubuntustudio is a good media version, or try Xubuntu, as its really low profile [07:36] hello i was wondering if i could get some assisstance with chmod on a extgernal drive [07:36] Cotowar: been a while since i've looked though [07:36] the latest update has made Image Viewer open very slowly.. [07:36] aata" I think #! (Crunchbang)is a popular choice here along with Arch. [07:36] Terinjokes: I am looking to create file sharing over my local network, but between this ubuntu box and 2 macbooks [07:36] ushimitsudoki: ok thanks. using the root command line. so i should go ahead and try to load a driver again. and use the startx command from root, right? [07:36] Terinjokes: same here, i was just wondering how far they were with it...not that i need it [07:36] cotowar ubuntustudios a bit too hardcore i just need it for basic browsing/flash and listening to music... im trying to set the computer up for my kids [07:36] Ok here i got again lol, I have a Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter in my Hp G50 laptop. I dual installed 8.10 Desktop edition of Ubuntu and everything went well. Then when i got to the desktop right after I install Ubuntu I tryed to turn on my wireless adapter and I had no luck. "Also LAN Line isnt working either" So I enabled the wireless network and no networks showed when I left click on the little computer monitor icon nect to t [07:37] hello,every one. [07:37] Knotts: the driver should already be loaded ... you can see it in the boot process or check /var/log/dmesg ... then you can either "startx" or "init 3" to get X up. For troubleshooting, I would just startx as root, just to see what happens. that's where i would start anyway [07:37] aata: Have you tried Xubuntu? [07:37] hello i was wondering if i could get some assisstance with chmod on a extgernal drive [07:37] lolwut: http://www.lathi.net/pages/afp-rendezvous-on-linux [07:37] thnx [07:37] !chmod [07:37] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [07:38] how can i get nano to show line numbers ? [07:38] aata: oh, maybe go with fedora? its probably the most user-friendly distro after ubuntu when new users are concerned. it does everything you need, and its reasonably fast. [07:38] lolwut: a little out of date, but might help [07:38] there you go davit [07:38] qualche esperto italiano? [07:38] !it [07:38] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [07:38] Does anyone have any ida how I can get my wireless card to work? [07:38] ushimitsudoki: ok thanks. ill give it a shot. tho i dont know exactly what im doing lol. [07:38] !wireless | Saida [07:38] Saida: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:38] hmmm cotowar ill check it out. is the best way to get a really quick boot to compile a custom kernel? [07:38] aata: or maybe run ubuntu 8.04 32-bit with noting but eliza installed on it. [07:38] techsupport: Ctrl^C [07:38] firefox||: i just cd to dictionarty and do tat? [07:39] Ive checked that any nothing seems to work [07:39] aata: Arch can boot in <30 sec using the stock kernel IIRC [07:39] !eliza > aata [07:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about eliza [07:39] nel canale italiano non ce nessuno [07:39] !it > fabius11 [07:39] fabius11, please see my private message [07:39] aata: IDK about that, it might be worth your time to just by more RAM for the comp. its cheap and does wonders for speed. [07:39] adam7 archlinux/ [07:39] ? [07:39] aata: yep [07:39] eliza does movies, music, and photos i believe [07:39] davit this might help you more : http://www.catcode.com/teachmod/ [07:39] its a great program, i absolutely love it [07:40] adam7 ill check that out [07:40] Cotowar: i've never used it for anything good... on my PPC system, almost as slow as XP [07:40] ushimitsudoki: one more question please. how do i look at /var/log/xorg.0.log or /var/log/dmesg ? [07:40] hey does someone know any program to make movies, as simple as Movie maker? [07:40] adam7 cotowar what about debian? [07:40] Knotts: you can use less "filename" [07:41] Knotts: you can look at them without being root [07:41] Terin: I had it set up on an old dell at college. we had quite the system going for file sharing, and used the Dell to play all the vids on the giant TV. [07:41] firefox||: I enter chmod -R 777 and i get chmod: missing operand after `777' [07:41] aata: it's pretty fast too, at least last time I tried it [07:41] aata: I know nothing about Debian [07:41] aata: try going to www.linux.org, and looking around there [07:41] Knotts: if you want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you will need to do so as root, using something like "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [07:41] you will find many things that might work for you [07:41] adam7 cuase i just installed eee-debian on an eee pc and with a custom kernel got it to boot up in < 30 secs [07:41] Knotts: you will not be editing logs in /var/log obviously [07:41] so i was just thinking .... [07:42] get a solid state drive to boot from [07:42] lol obbbvious to you maybe. haha [07:42] davit: is that read and write all? [07:42] actually don't. they are expensive [07:42] aata: Debian might be a good idea if you're used to Ubuntu [07:42] ooooooo!!!! [07:42] Idea time! [07:42] firefox||: yah [07:42] adam7 i was thinking just install a basic text based system (debian) [07:42] okay, so you know those little tiny MicroSD cards that go into phones? [07:43] and then install something like lxde [07:43] on top of it [07:43] I used Window Shade Rollup effect to hide a running app, now I can't get it to drop down again???? Can't lose data! [07:43] Thank you Ubottu I think I found a solution [07:43] aata: or jump over to Gentoo and have fun [07:43] aata: yeah, that would work well [07:43] Knotts: look for errors in /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If you can't figure anything out, then pastebin them so someone in this channel can take a look [07:43] Fezzler: Click on the titlebar? [07:43] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-gSMl2cafQ&NR=1 ROFL @ 2:35 [07:44] adam7 :P and if i install lxlauncher, i can make it look like an oversized eee pc :P [07:44] Check out that website davit there is an easy overview [07:44] http://www.catcode.com/teachmod/ [07:44] aata: you probably could :) [07:44] I was thinking about making an array of MicroSD cards and booting my OS from there via eSATA connection on the front of my laptop [07:44] ushimitsudoki: sorry for the trouble. but what command i use to view the logs? just typing the location in term doesnt show me. [07:44] Knotts: less [07:44] how plausible is this? [07:44] firefox||: ok ill look over it now [07:44] Cotowar: you could do it, but chances are those cards are really slow [07:44] Knotts: like this: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:44] Cotowar, theres secure, theres paranoid. and then theres Tin-Foil-Hat Paranoid. :) [07:44] Cotowar: HDD would be much faster [07:44] no such file/directory [07:45] aata ubuntu (or debian, or gentoo, or slack, or linux kernel + libc + gcc + bash) can be a basic text-based linux [07:45] Please don't let me lose hours of data due to Desktop Effect! [07:45] adam7: not necessarily. they are basically mini solid state drives [07:45] Knotts: no no that can't be right ... at least I hope not. check spelling ... and use TAB-completion to make sure you get the file name right [07:45] Fezzler: how did your roll the window up [07:45] Cotowar: so are SD cards [07:45] Fezzler, metacity --replace to disable the effects perhaps.. I didtnt hink the rollup stuff was a 'effect' a lot of windo wmanagers have that. [07:45] there is a minimal install ubuntu that is text based also [07:45] Cotowar: and SD cards aren't very fast [07:45] the only reason people don't do it already is they have a limited number of write cycles [07:46] ok tyvm that got it open. [07:46] Double click title bar [07:46] Fezzler: ok, back up your storage :) [07:46] aata: you could do an Ubuntu server install [07:46] App is Blender [07:46] I was thinking RAID 0 on like 10 of them [07:46] Knotts: at this point you are looking for lines preceeded with (EE) - errors [07:46] nsadmin> :) [07:46] Cotowar: if they get 5MB/s read, then you're just approaching the speed of a SATA drive [07:46] adam7 hmmm i think im going to go with debian i like the way it works with apt-get :P [07:46] they get 20MB/s [07:47] lol, is there a "Find" feature in term? cuz this list is looong. [07:47] I looked around for a long time, found all the info on them, down to the pinouts and which are the data lines [07:47] Fezzler one pont I'n trying to make is you're responsible for your files... there's no "letting" you lose your data [07:47] also found the microcontroller to route the data, similar to striping on a standard RAID controller [07:47] Knotts: yes, you can use grep ... like this: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:48] Cotowar: so you have a real raid controller for hooking up a lot of cards? [07:48] nsadmin>> Thank mom! [07:48] tyvm ushimitsudoki [07:48] I want to build it [07:48] I think it can be done [07:48] Fezzler: and no one else is your mom too, besides your mom :P [07:48] Cotowar: but what's hte point? (other then it sounds cool) [07:49] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [07:49] wow midnight already [07:49] adam7: its fast, and if you buy enough drives ($16 a pop or less), you can outperform a solid state drive, and can boot in like 5 seconds [07:49] Cotowar: but then you'll be limited by CPU [07:49] adam7: I was also thinking about installing it in my car [07:49] Cotowar: and I'm still not convinced they are that fast [07:49] adam7>> I think Blender didn't like the rollup effect or my graphics card doesn't [07:49] they are [07:49] Hello how can i make ubuntu see an external drive as a flash drive [07:49] Fezzler: now that's possible [07:50] davit: plug it in? [07:50] i didnt believe it myself [07:50] Knotts: alrighty then, how about you check dmesg and see what's up there. You can use something like: dmesg | grep -i nvidia. Don't paste results in this channel, use pastebin and link [07:50] adam7: i wanna make it usb startup disk but it wont show up in menu [07:50] davit: why do you need to make an external drive a flash drive? [07:50] oh [07:50] Knotts: oh also, check if the nvidia driver is loading: lsmod | grep -i nvidia [07:50] ok ushimitsudoki, [07:50] adam7: i dont have a large usb flash drive so i using external one [07:51] uhmmm. how do i use the pastbin and link? [07:51] got it back! saved. will not run blender windowed again! [07:51] !pastebin > Knotts [07:51] Knotts, please see my private message [07:52] Cotowar: I also think that the number of drivers in RAID0 , however very effective and performant wont profit very much from a 9nth driver or 10th extra [07:52] I was mainly thinking embedded systems OS, if you couple with a nano-ITX mobo would work nicely in a car for those car computers [07:52] thanks adam7 [07:52] !pastebin [07:52] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:53] any help? [07:53] !beer [07:53] * herra tosses DarkSotM_ a can of beer. (1 beers have been ordered). [07:53] Beer is always appreciated. [07:53] Also you might be interested in the SD to SSD boards arround [07:53] not very expensive [07:53] FireFox: as long as you dont have more data throughput than the cable can handle, you'll be okay. and the computer can handle it as far as CPU clock cycles, seeing as those are in the billions. you can get a 3.3GHz wolfdale for like $169 [07:54] what are theese SD to SSD boards? [07:54] is this correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103416/ [07:54] they allow you to place let's say 4 SD cards on a board and convert this in to 1 space available as SSD [07:55] yea, thats kind of what im thinking about [07:55] KNotts: also pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf pls [07:55] Cotowar: you can do the same thing easily with a USB hub, a couple of flash drives, and fakeraid [07:56] not as small though, and USB maxes out at 480 MB/s whereas Sata is 3GB/s [07:57] is thre anyway to make an external drive an installer? [07:57] ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggunit [07:57] I did think aobut trying with a 96 GB/s infiniband cable, but I don't have hundreds of $$ to drop on this stuff [07:57] Cotowar: I actually think your cheaper off to buy a real ssd, these things are getting very cheap.:) [07:57] Yea, but its not as goony [07:57] hello everyone [07:57] and I can't save up money like that very well [07:58] ushimitsudoki: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103418/ [07:58] I have to buy little pieces [07:58] Cotowar: I think that if it were as simple as that, we would all be using SSDs now [07:58] the trouble is that SD cards are flash based, and have limited write cycles [07:58] davit: like a usb installer? [07:58] you would wear out an SD card in a couple months if you used it for a normal HD [07:58] DarkSotM_: yah [07:59] however, if you are booting from it, you aren't writing to it as far as I know, so you can use it much longer [07:59] I am getting this error -> AUDIT: Sun Jan 11 01:35:06 2009: 9558 X: client 4 rejected from local host <- in my X log. Could someone have a look at my xorg.conf and make sure everything is correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103417/ [07:59] davit: check out pendrivelinux [07:59] DarkSotM_: will it allow me to istall ubuntu? [07:59] ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggunit [07:59] useruseruseruser, please stop [08:00] nickrud: ok [08:00] Knotts: one more thing pls. i want to check that you aren't loading the nv driver too. check: lsmod | grep -i nv ... is the just plain "nv" module loaded? [08:00] also if you wanted to you could try to set up a RAID 5 on it, so you don't lose your crap when a drive finally fails [08:00] davit: It tells you how to put the cd on a usb drive to test/install whatever and it has it for more then just ubuntu www.pendrivelinux.com [08:01] honestly though, it is cheaper financially to do it with microSD cards, the real cost comes in labor [08:01] IDk, it was jsut an idea [08:01] i might try it with the christmas money I got, but we shall see [08:01] i dont know what im looking at ushimitsudoki http://paste.ubuntu.com/103420/ [08:01] okay, now for one of my many gripes with ubuntu 8.10 [08:02] gripe away [08:02] DarkSotM_: Ok thanks alot [08:02] to much like vista? [08:02] I cannot install my icon set from 8.04, as it says i need the clearlooks engine to run the icons [08:02] oh wait, that's kde [08:02] how do i get clearlooks installed? [08:03] Knotts: poop I don't see anything obvious there [08:03] Cotowar: gtk2-engines [08:03] How do i force a rescan of my hard disk [08:03] Doonz: unmount the drive and run fdisk /dev/sdx [08:04] like say i just plugged it in to an esata slot [08:04] my main gripe sofar with ubuntu is I can't get twin working [08:04] how do i make the system rescan for a new drive? [08:04] adam7: youre saying just do an aptitude install gtk2-engines? [08:04] Doonz: just run fsck /dev/sdx where sdx is the name of the drive [08:04] Cotowar: yep [08:04] ushimitsudoki its a fresh install aswell, it worked fine untill version 8.04 and 8.10, when i upgraded, i cant get my grafix drivers to work :( [08:04] 1 sec [08:04] Cotowar: according to apt it includes clearlooks but it should be installed by default [08:05] oh sir, thank you [08:05] maybe I'll just go back too gentoo (-; [08:05] you have made my whole week :D [08:05] Knotts: I have been having a hell of a time getting my nVidia drivers to work as well [08:05] now to test it out [08:05] gerob: have u made any progress? lol [08:06] Knotts: have you tried nvidia-xconfig? [08:06] no i have crashed my Xerver and not been able to recover it 4 times now [08:06] what does 'Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)' [08:06] mean [08:06] thats just the release name [08:06] ushimitsudoki: yes and i got an error, nvidia driver x not found, something like that. [08:06] michaelyao, which part didn't you get? [08:06] michaelyao: it's the Ubuntu 8.10 (named Interpid Ibex) x86 release [08:07] Knotts: I havent tried it myself but have you tried Envy? [08:07] !envy [08:07] 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 [08:07] gerob: no i havnt, what is envy? [08:07] !envy > Knotts [08:07] Knotts, please see my private message [08:07] Knotts: It manages your grafix drivers and setting from what I understand [08:08] ushimitsudoki: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103422/ [08:08] !envy > gerob [08:08] gerob, please see my private message [08:08] Knotts: no no you have to run that as root: put sudo in front [08:08] hi, is there something wrong with yesterday's updates and the flash-plugin? [08:08] I just really dont want to have to reinstall again [08:08] haha [08:09] adam7: thank you! you have fixed my biggest gripe with 8.10 [08:09] I don't think I've ever seen that many people in one irc channel before o.O [08:09] ah sorry guys [08:09] err, again 'Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)' [08:09] Domo Arigato Mr. Ubottu [08:09] ushimitsudoki: exact same error [08:09] Moguri: there aren't even that many people in here today :P [08:09] o.o [08:09] it says i needa stick into the c.d drive [08:09] hi all [08:09] in order to update my nvidia driver [08:09] michaelyao: what didn't you understand the first time?

[08:11] gerob: first, read the envy information [08:11] no [08:11] !envy | gerob Knotts [08:11] gerob Knotts: 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 [08:11] im using the xchat [08:11] jesspher: have you tried going to youtube and hitting install flash player? [08:11] yes [08:11] i downloaded to flash thing [08:11] Could someone take a look at my xorg.conf and see if everything is correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103417/ [08:11] but i dont know what to do with it [08:11] gerob: as you can see it says not supported and not really recommended [08:11] di you install flash or gnash? [08:11] i don [08:11] t [08:11] think so, [08:11] !enter | jesspher [08:11] jesspher: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:11] My ubuntu 8.10 64bit install is running really slow for some reason. Like laggy slow. And I'm running an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100, 3GBs of RAM and an NVIDIA 8600m GT. Also, my themes like to disappear on occasion and I have to restart gnome-settings-daemon to get them back. Any ideas? [08:12] adam7: haha thats not much help [08:12] Media change: please insert the disc labeled [08:12] 'Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.5)' [08:12] in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter [08:12] any tips on this [08:12] michaelyao: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:12] jess: check your private chat [08:12] michaelyao: system -> admin -> software sources and uncheck hte CD option [08:12] sorry flood bot : P [08:12] gerob: I know :/ what problem are you having? [08:12] ushimitsudoki: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103424/ [08:12] ty adam [08:13] michaelyao: That's your install CD. You can disable that if you'd like. [08:13] Knotts: and if you try to startx now, with the new xorg.conf? same error? [08:13] I think tomorrow I'll install the 32bit version to see if I get better results. [08:13] adam7: when i install the nvidia drivers i lose my Xserver. when I boot normal it goes to tty1 === pablo is now known as pabloguion [08:13] adam7: and I can't restore it with a xorg backup [08:13] ushimitsudoki: i have to reboot to startx again correct? [08:14] Knotts: no [08:14] gerob: use the ubuntu restricted drivers manager, not downloads from nvidia.com [08:14] gerob: try sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old-`date` then reboot [08:14] hello. i need somebody explain me some concepts about DKMS [08:14] tritium: I have tried it both ways [08:14] Knotts: just try >startx === junglist_ is now known as wsts1 [08:14] does anyone know how to enable a mouse touchpad after awaking a laptop from sleep mode? [08:15] i have this error Error! Build of fglrx.ko failed for: 2.6.27-9-generic (i686) [08:15] ushimitsudoki: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103425/ [08:15] adam7: right now I am on a fresh install and havent bothered even trying the graphics drivers yet. I think my xorg.conf would be empty wouldn't it? [08:15] how do i get dual monitors working in 8.10? i have a known good monitor, and it works fine on the same computer in 8.04, but 8.10 doesn't even know its there [08:16] Knotts: just startx ... not sudo [08:16] pabloguion: why are you building it? It's already packaged for you. [08:16] its on that pastbin also ushimitsudoki [08:16] Cotowar: with the screen resolution applet [08:17] Does a constant 30~40% cpu usage on an Intel Core 2 Duo in 8.10 sound normal? It seems quite high to me :s [08:17] gerob: should be -- is it not working? [08:17] Moguri: are you using the System Monitor? [08:17] Knotts: ah i missed that ... hold one [08:17] ushimitsudoki: 10 down is just startx lol [08:17] tritium i'm installing a packet i did myself [08:17] adam7: That and the top command. [08:17] well I dont have visual effects or 3d capability at the moment [08:17] ushimitsudoki: sorry for the confusion [08:17] Moguri: ok -- don't use the system monitor, because it itself takes like 30% of one core on my AMD system [08:18] adam7: But not both at the same time. I realize the system monitor uses a fair amount of cpu. [08:18] adam: well I dont have visual effects or 3d capability at the moment [08:18] 1: delete ~/.Xauthority and try "startx" - no sudo again. 2: if you still get locking errors, reboot. [08:18] Knotts: 1: delete ~/.Xauthority and try "startx" - no sudo again. 2: if you still get locking errors, reboot. [08:18] Moguri: does top say what is using the cpu? [08:18] My mouse keeps right clicking without me asking it to [08:18] Knotts: these are a different class of errors than what we originally started talking about [08:18] Like, sporatically, randomly, every 5 seconds or less [08:18] I am getting this error -> AUDIT: Sun Jan 11 01:35:06 2009: 9558 X: client 4 rejected from local host <- in my X log. Could someone have a look at my xorg.conf and make sure everything is correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103417/ [08:19] adam7: Highest is udev with 11% o.O [08:19] adam7: Than xorg with about 10% [08:19] I'm writing something in Geany and suddenly I'm undoing things [08:19] tritium: the applet doesnt see the external at all. its like its not even plugged in. [08:19] Royall: Is overtype on? [08:19] ushimitsudoki, lol ok. can u tell me how to do that exactly please? [08:19] And things are slow. Like there is lag just from typing. o.O [08:19] Moguri: xorg is fairly normal, although if you aren't doing anything it shouldn't be doing anything [08:19] Knotts: 1: rm ~/.Xauthority [08:19] Not just in Geany [08:19] Everywhere [08:20] Moguri: this computer is using 64 and it is fine, not slow at all [08:20] Just rightclick menus popping up [08:20] Royall: desktop or laptop? [08:20] adam7: I must have messed something up than :s [08:20] laptop [08:20] Royall: you sure you aren't hitting the touchpad with your hands? [08:20] mmm im sorry, my error is Error! Build of fglrx.ko failed for: 2.6.27-9-generic (i686) [08:20] :P [08:20] Tried unpluadafaf [08:21] This is terrible, I'm rebooting [08:21] and then Error! Build of fglrx.ko failed for: 2.6.27-9-generic (i686) [08:21] ushimitsudoki: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103429/ [08:21] then Consult the make.log in the build directory but it is clean [08:21] adam7: I think it may have been a theme I tried to use or something. Cause, gnome-settings-daemon keeps crashing too :s [08:22] pabloguion: why don't you just use the fgrlx shipped with Ubuntu? [08:22] adam7: If I try envyng-qt, is there some way for me do a backup so I dont have to download all the updates again if it crashes? [08:22] adam7: But I can't tell if it was this way before doing things since I just did this install today, and a bunch of other things :s [08:22] compiling from source is ./configure | make | make install right? [08:22] Cotowar: I think so, yes. [08:23] Knotts: alrighty then. re-start again and come back again in single mode. right after logging in, try "init 3". If you are getting locking errors, that is better than the first error where nvidia wasn't even loading. I have to go for a little while, so try that and if it doesn't work, prepare a paste bin with the information we already looked at so someone else can easily pick up [08:23] thought so [08:23] i need to remake it to use propietary drivers [08:23] gerob: in /var/cache/apt/archives there are a bunch of packages. if you copy them to another disk before you reinstall and then put them back in /var/cache/apt/archives before you update, you won't have to download all hte updates [08:23] i have an ati radeon 9250 is very problematic [08:23] Cotowar: Well, one at at time ;) [08:23] Knotts: if you are still around when i get pack i will ping you and see how it went. good luck [08:24] pabloguion: 9250's in Ubuntu is a pain :s [08:24] ushimitsudoki, thanks alot for ur time. enjoy ur day [08:24] Cotowar: you don't want to pipe the output [08:24] i know it [08:24] :D [08:24] Cotowar: do ./configure && make && make install [08:24] i know how to install 3d support in free drivers [08:24] adam7: ok ill stick them on my 8gb usb drive [08:24] but the performance is not optimal [08:24] yea, i was just separating the commands [08:24] gerob: that should work [08:24] so i trying to make running the privative drivers [08:24] Cotowar: ah, got it [08:24] but i need help in this point [08:25] from somebody expert in these things [08:25] pabloguion: The proprietary drivers are for like 9600s and above :s [08:25] no [08:25] there are for 9250 for other distros [08:25] pabloguion: And the open source drivers as you said don't work all that great for them either. Which puts the 9250 in an annoying spot. [08:25] hi guys, [08:26] please help me to make this job. i know it works [08:26] I am getting this error -> AUDIT: Sun Jan 11 01:35:06 2009: 9558 X: client 4 rejected from local host <- in my X log. Could someone have a look at my xorg.conf and make sure everything is correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103417/ [08:27] pabloguion: Are you getting drivers from the AMD site? [08:27] yes [08:27] it will not work? sure? [08:28] lee1733: paste your entire xorg.log [08:28] adam7: ok here goes! thanks if I dont make it back right away [08:28] pabloguion: what's wrong with the ones in the Hardware Manager [08:28] pabloguion: Looks like they might work. [08:28] gerob: good luck :) [08:28] DarkSotM_: One sec. [08:28] jesspher was trying to install a .deb package....shouldn't gdeb installer handle that automatically? [08:28] oh, heres one more problem i have... though this one is very complex im assuming [08:28] pabloguion: I know they work, but there is no reason to use them unless you need a newer version than the one Ubuntu ships with [08:28] im running 8.10 with virtualbox (not the OSE version) and windows xp performance. i have the guest additions and all that jazz, but cannot install games with multiple CD's inside the virtual machine. [08:29] how do i get that to work? [08:29] pabloguion: Have you looked at the ubuntu forums for instructions on ATI drivers? [08:30] DarkSotM_: Here is my xorg log. http://paste.ubuntu.com/103434/ [08:30] I know I had to do some fighting to get my x1300 when I had it. [08:30] adam7:one more question. when I flag the envyng-qt app for installation ithe Synaptic Manager wants to install a bunch of other files that are KDE is that ok? [08:30] yes in the spanish forums [08:30] ubuntu-es [08:30] gerob: Are you using gnome? [08:31] Flannel: yes [08:31] gerob: Why not envyng-gtk then? [08:31] pabloguion: So, you've downloaded the driver, right? [08:31] hi guys [08:31] yes [08:31] Flannel: The description says its just a dummy package [08:31] pabloguion: Okay, did you try to run the installer? [08:32] i did sh ati-driver-installer-8-10-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/intrepid to make the pkg [08:32] Flannel: and that its text only [08:32] anyone know what module is loaded for touchpads? [08:32] gerob: Interesting. Well, you can always use the text version, it should perform the same way. *or* you can just use the qt version yes. And yeah, it'll drag in whatever qt/kde libs it needs to be happy [08:32] pabloguion: Where is the .run saved to? [08:33] is a .deb [08:33] Flannel: Im ok with using the text one .. might have a couple questions on commands though [08:33] hi all again [08:33] no sorry [08:33] hey [08:33] pabloguion: I don't remember using a .deb, but have you tried running it? [08:33] how can i format a flash drive using xubuntu? [08:33] is a .run. it is in /home/pablo (my folder) [08:34] pabloguion: So first you might want to rename the file to something like ati.run and try "sudo ~/ati.run" [08:34] Moguri: pabloguion hold on one second [08:35] ok i hold :) [08:35] Oops, guess I'm doing something stupid again :D [08:35] how do you fofrmat a flash drive in xubuntu? [08:35] Flannel: I installed the -gtk version ... now where do I find it? lol [08:35] jess: it should be like sudo rm -rf dev/sdb1, but don't go doing that until someone confirms it, because that will erase sdb1 i believe [08:35] jesspher: In Ubuntu I use gParted. [08:35] ok === LogicHoleFlaw_ is now known as LogicHoleFlaw [08:35] pabloguion (and Moguri) -- if you really need to use the ATI .run file, use the instructions http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide there [08:35] i will look for gparted [08:36] pabloguion: under the installing the restricted drivers manually part [08:36] gParted is a good one, disregard what i said above [08:36] i misunderstood [08:36] do i need to install that? [08:36] jesspher: Probably. [08:36] thank you adam7 :D [08:36] gParted can be found via System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [08:37] just type it in the box up top, and check the correct one on the list [08:37] Cotowar: The menus are different in Xubuntu. [08:37] i will translate it to spanish [08:37] oh right [08:37] lots of people are looking for this [08:37] Xfce [08:37] my bad [08:37] Cotowar: But similar enough ;) [08:37] Where do I find EnvyNG-gtk? [08:37] pabloguion: better make sure it works first ;) [08:37] pabloguion: I've never had any trouble with it though [08:37] On my system [08:37] my only experience with xfce is with my gentoo live cd, and i can't do anything [08:38] gerob: in the package manager [08:38] its fast though... [08:38] In Ubuntu, is it neccessary to upgrade Apache to 2.2.11? [08:38] riz0n: not unless it comes in as an update [08:38] how do i get john the ripper to test my login password? [08:38] Or is it safe to leave it at the 2.2.8 that is currently loaded in Ubuntu [08:39] adam7: after i already installed it? [08:39] riz0n: apache will get all necessary security updates, so you just need to stay updated and there should be no problems [08:39] adam7: thanks, update manager hasn't alerted me of an update for it... but noticed on Apache.org that an update was available. [08:39] gerob: try running envyng-gtk or something in a temrinal [08:39] the wiki says: (This may fail due to a missing dpmk. If so install this first) [08:39] so i need how to install the pkg with dpmk [08:39] pabloguion: sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms [08:40] is there an application that can rip the DRM off of DVD's so I can save them on my external and play on my media center? [08:40] i read man but i have some questions [08:41] adam7 0 actualizados, 0 se instalarán, 0 para eliminar y 8 no actualizados. (i have all) [08:41] adam7: in root? [08:41] pabloguion: then you should be all set [08:41] gerob: probably [08:41] Hi there [08:41] anyone about [08:41] the wiki says it [08:42] adam7: sorry what would the command be? [08:42] !libdvdcss | Cotowar [08:42] Cotowar: 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 [08:42] I was woundering... everyone has been telling me ubuntu is a great Os.. so i thought i would try it out... is there a non destgructive way i can install it? with out removeing windows vista from my laptop so i can test it? [08:42] Like mabey instaklling it on a bootable DVD or a USB stick? [08:42] Look4Help: It's a live CD [08:42] gerob: gksudo envyng-gtk -- also I think there should be a menu button in System -> Admin [08:43] thanks. gonna go read that...brb [08:43] Look4Help: You can download and burn the ISO to a CD and run it in a LiveCD environment, which actually allows you to run it without installing it to your hard disk. [08:43] adam7: I looked for the menu button but for some reson it idnt install one [08:43] Look4Help: just download the ISO, burn it, and reboot -- you'll be able to test it with no effect on your system [08:43] Thanks guys that is great to hear... [08:44] is there a command line app to see battery info? [08:44] Look4Help: If you choose to install it, however, you will more than likely have to repartition your hard drive and reinstall Vista as well, unless you add a second hard drive to your PC exclusively for Ubuntu. [08:45] sfuentes: acpi(1) [08:45] normal windows apps will not run in it will they? [08:45] adam7: I got an error can i send you the output? [08:45] loo4help: sorry nope [08:46] olegb: thanks man [08:46] Look4Help: You can, however, try to use them with wine [08:46] sfuentes: np =) [08:46] so you can install a DUEL BOOT system, but i would need to install Ubuntu and then on a 2nd partition install vista again? [08:46] look4help: It does have it's own programs that can usally do the same thing [08:47] Ok thanks guys.... so what is Kbuntu and Xbuntu ? [08:48] Look4Help: Kubuntu uses KDE instead of Gnome, and Xubuntu uses Xfce. [08:48] Kubuntu is ubuntu with KDE, Xubuntu ist ubuntu with XFCE, both are Desktop Environments [08:48] look4help: they are the same basic thing just with a diffrent style desktop [08:49] ok guys thansk again you are being very clear. [08:49] should mention xfce is more light on resource usage [08:50] sfuentes: really... the reason i am thinkiong of this is that i have a older laptop and a mate is advising me to install unbuntu as he thinks this will make it seam liek a new computer as it will run so much faster and stuff [08:50] Hello [08:50] so Xunbuntu might be the best options for performence? [08:50] my make is giving me some error [08:50] make TARGET_ARCH=x86 TARGET_PRODUCT=eee_701 DISABLE_DEXPREOPT=TRUE [08:50] make: *** vendor/asus/: Is a directory. Stop. [08:51] good night every one [08:51] thank you all for the help [08:51] good evening [08:51] Look4Help: i had an old laptop and i installed intrepid (ubuntu) and it was sluggish [08:51] Look4Help: Yeah, give Xubuntu a shot. [08:51] i have SiS900 NIC undetected on ubuntu 8.04 [08:51] Look4Help: wiped out ubuntu with xubuntu and it was more responsive for me [08:52] I need some help :P [08:52] cryptic1@shakti:~/bin_x86/mydroid$ TARGET_ARCH=x86 TARGET_PRODUCT=eee_701 DISABLE_DEXPREOPT=TRUE make -j2 installer.img [08:52] make: *** vendor/asus/: Is a directory.

[08:54] eth0 not detected [08:54] i think linux could really use google chrome ... firefox is heavy [08:54] chrome rocks [08:54] hey i guess intrepid uses qt4 :> where does the new cairo-like bar in the middle come from? [08:55] chrome kicks my heart out [08:55] aaaah vlc [08:55] sfuentes, does it have a native linux version? [08:55] i meant sry ^^ [08:55] so fast [08:55] jim_p: nope ... there's a wine version, but it sucks [08:55] is chrome open source lol [08:55] There's Chromium [08:55] sfuentes, then its up to no use. i prefer opera when it comes to lightweight browsers [08:55] Or something like that. [08:56] dillo lol [08:57] chromium will eventually make it to linux ... but who knows how long that will take [08:57] pls suggest a goov svn [08:57] 80% more til ubuntu heaven [08:57] 80%? [08:57] downloading [08:57] linux mint is kind of nice too [08:57] Has anyone here successfully installed a nVidia GeForce 8600 GT on Intrepid 32 bit? [08:58] gerob: I've gotten a 8600m GT working in Intrepid 64 bit. [08:58] And I'm going to try 32 bit, so I'll know in like half an hour or so. [08:59] thanks but I have a feeling the issue is with the 32 bit OS [08:59] even for an chrome-enthusiast like me, chrome gets eaten alive by its lack of addon support. google missed adding that alongside with a mac/linux client. hope it'll come the next months :> [08:59] gerob: what issue? don't ask to ask, just ask [08:59] gerob, how did you install the drivers? [09:00] Tm_T: Xserver crashes after driver install and reboot [09:00] orkun: FYI, there's also #ubuntu-offtopic [09:00] orkun: google is adding grease monkey scripting support to chrome [09:00] gerob: driver version and how it is installed [09:00] Tm_T, jim_p: I have installed it through Hardwarre Manager, Package Manager, manually [09:01] version 177 or 180 I have tried them both [09:01] orkun: and they could have waited another 3 years to release it until they had addons, but i'm glad they didn't [09:02] Tm_T, jim_p: I have had to reinstall Intrepid 4 times now as I couldn't recover my Xserver [09:02] gerob, can you identify what package it installed? [09:03] Tm_T, jim_p: I am pretty new to Linux though... [09:03] gerob: to get a real taste, start learning the command line shell [09:04] gerob: hang in there buddy ... the hazing is worthwhile :) [09:04] sfuentes: unfortunately they could have just replaced the few and depressing options we have to surf the net with that monster. i am afraid any sort of revolution will take years now [09:04] jim_p nvidia-177-kernel-source [09:04] I am very dedicated to learning Linux [09:04] gerob, :| source? it made the module by itself? [09:05] !info nvidia-glx [09:05] Package nvidia-glx does not exist in intrepid [09:05] jim_p the only other one I found to install was the -dev package [09:06] gerob, let me look at nvidias packages [09:06] does not exist ... lol [09:06] does anyone know how i can eliminate a row or a few rows with sql? #sql is sleeping [09:06] thanks jim_p [09:06] gerob, http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/nvidia-glx-177 [09:06] can you please install this? [09:07] gerob, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [09:07] gavi: delete [09:07] gavi: delete from table where id in(1,2,3) [09:07] sfuentes, in a search [09:07] select [09:08] emon.nobita [09:08] gavi: in a search? or with a given condition? [09:08] jim_p: ok im giving it a shot [09:09] sfuentes, im not sure what a given condition is, but sounds right [09:09] jim_p: Anything I can do if it drops to tty1 after reboot? [09:09] hi, have a problem with https configuration on localhost after upgrade to intrepid... [09:09] its not a search... its a select query than im looping my results with php [09:09] gerob, login === Berzerker|away is now known as Berzerker [09:10] despite recreating the certificate and key there is still an expired certificate being used... [09:10] gerob, give me a sec with those commands its X -configure but it needs root priviledges [09:10] jim_p haha [09:10] how can i find this certificate and remove it? [09:11] jim_p: I have root privileges I am running it on my own computer [09:11] I have my ubuntu 8.10 install on my 4gb usb flash drive is it safe to use swap on it? [09:11] gavi: well like johnny mentioned ... something like: DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE COLUMNX=FOOVALUE [09:11] gerob, you cant use sudo witg that command [09:11] gerob, there is no sudo X -something [09:12] sfuentes, thanks.. thats not what i wanted but thanks anyways [09:12] jim_p: I see, so it would be a different command then? [09:13] gerob, its something like sudo -i or similar. just a parameter of sudo that makes all the commands from there on run as if they had sudo in front [09:13] is there a command I can use to disable my swap or a way to disable it with the GUI? [09:13] gavi: if you are looping thru a result set then you could use foreach(x) as y [09:14] thanks johnnymo1218 [09:14] Can somebody help mi with compiz??? http://paste.ubuntu.com/103449/ [09:14] gavi: keep in mind that you should avoid sql queries/updates inside a loop ... typically u build your queries in the loop and execute them outside the loop to avoid net roundtrips and db efficiency [09:14] sfuentes, thanks [09:14] gerob, i cant find it [09:15] gavi: np. not sure if that's what u were asking for, but its a handy tip in general [09:15] gerob, try sudo -i [09:15] jim_p: I installed the driver and did sudo nvidia-xconfig [09:16] nope.. not what i was looking for but ill make a workaround.. thanks anyways [09:16] anyone good at troubleshooting https configuration? [09:16] gerob, and? did it make an xorg.conf? === Tardis is now known as Kilotratt [09:16] jim_p: ill pm you the feedback [09:16] what command do I use to detect my NTFS windows portion of my hard drive?

[09:21] litong: you realize that ubuntu does not configure compiz to use a cube by default? [09:21] anyone know how to stop dropped frames in video? happens in both vlc and mplayer? [09:21] JPSman, sudo umount /dev/sdXY or sudo umount /mnt/mountpoint [09:22] thank you jim_p :OD [09:22] crdlb but why the 3D cube not working? [09:22] litong, do you have proper 3d acceleration? glxinfo | grep direct [09:22] jsfoxton, are you on ati?

[09:23] jsfoxton, and you run compiz too? [09:23] i dunno if its a hardware problem or just howi have ubuntu setup but i keep seeing little line flickers on the screen [09:23] gerob, it seems perfect. can you restart x? [09:23] brb [09:23] jim_p i dont think so. Is that an additional package? [09:23] jim_p: due to changes in mesa, that always says yes now [09:24] does anyone know of a good subversion server setup tutorial? [09:24] jsfoxton, it comes preinstalled with ubuntu 8.04+. what version are you on? [09:24] litong: because compiz does not equal cube; ubuntu's default configuration does not use the cube plugin [09:24] I am getting a $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) [09:24] kizedek, give me a sec [09:24] jim_p 8.10 [09:24] jim_p: I will try ...just Ctrl+Alt+Backspace right? [09:24] jsfoxton, and on a mac? are you sure? [09:24] I can't seem to access my windows partition anymore [09:24] gerob, yea [09:25] jsfoxton, uname -r [09:25] jim_p yes i'm sure i'm on a mac [09:25] jsfoxton, uname -r [09:25] CRDLB som I nedd to download it and that's ti? no erors? [09:25] hi everyone=) [09:25] jim_p is that a terminal command? [09:25] jsfoxton, yea lol [09:25] JPSman, best thing to do is boot up into windows *twice* and let windows do a checkdisk on that volume [09:25] jim_p i said i was a noob :) [09:26] litong: all you need to do is install simple-ccsm and switch to the cube [09:26] unop - so restart into windows, then again, then run a checkdisk on my c drive? [09:26] ok thank you:) [09:26] jim_p it came back with 2.6.27-9-generic [09:26] JPSman, right, if C: is the volume that mount is complaining about, yea [09:26] jsfoxton, does that mac use an intel cpu? [09:27] jim_p yes [09:27] ok we move forward then [09:27] jsfoxton, lspci | grep VGA [09:27] is it ok to just run ubuntu 8.10 off a usb 4GB flash drive? [09:27] unop - no other. I think I may have a virus on it though, and I come to linux to scan it from here, so...ill try, thank you :OD [09:27] jsfoxton, do you have desktop effects enabled? [09:27] are there any reported virus attack on ubuntu [09:27] jim_p, manage to find it? [09:27] protocol1, yes, as soon as you dont use swap in that drive [09:28] jim_p, there a way I can disable swap? [09:28] JPSman, there are ways to clean this error on linux - but they're not foolproof - so if you care about data on this volume, it's best to have windows take care of it - and you could do this in safe mode too [09:28] jim_p 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Tech Inc M56p [Radeon Mobility X1600] [09:28] protocol1, do not install a swap partition in there [09:28] unop - cool, thank you again :OD [09:28] L8Rz [09:28] kizedek, still searching [09:28] jim_p, I did [09:29] Knotts: any luck?/ [09:29] protocol1, then you are fine [09:29] there a way I can disable or remove it? [09:29] !svn [09:29] svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [09:29] jim_p, thanks :) [09:29] protocol1, sudo swapoff -a [09:29] sweet [09:29] thx [09:29] ushimitsudoki: nope :( had to do that Xfix again tho. [09:30] what do i need to be able to run: sudo apache2-ssl-certificate [09:30] i get command not found [09:30] jim_p does that mean i need to be using another video driver? [09:30] Howdy all... I have fubared my video drivers by doing a manuel install of nvidia drivers... and need help fixing it.. [09:30] unop, will that keep it off even after a reboot? [09:31] Can I insert an image into a DIA project ? [09:31] protocol1, no - you'll have to comment out the swap entry in /etc/fstab for that [09:31] kizedek, that command does not exist in any ubuntu package [09:32] hi [09:32] unop, oh i was following an ubuntu svn tutorial [09:32] ushimitsudoki: any other suggestions? lol [09:32] Knotts: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.cong and /var/log/Xorg.0.log one more time? I will look at it once more [09:32] jsfoxton, what driver do you use now? and do you use desktop effects? [09:32] The error I am getting is "API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 169.12, but this NVIDIA driver compnent has version 180.22" How do I fix this. [09:32] Knotts: xorg.conf [09:32] can i somehow get a similar dir like /etc/profile.d for non-login-shells and /etc/bash.bashrc? [09:32] kizedek, what are you trying to do? create an ssl certificate? [09:32] i have the problem that non of the files in /etc/profile.d is sourced when i open a terminal in gnome [09:33] unop, im looking at /etc/fstab with gedit as we speak....there anything I should do to this? [09:33] ushimitsudoki: k 2 seconds [09:33] its working properly thnak you :-D [09:33] unop, i think so, it was for subversion server repo over apache [09:33] protocol1, yea, comment out the swap entry [09:33] jsfoxton, to help you lspci -k and look for your vga card in that mess. it states the driver used underneath [09:33] kizedek, maybe this then? http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#selfcert [09:33] like mine [09:33] jim_p no idea on driver and no desktop effects as far as i know [09:33] ushimitsudoki: /etc/X11/xorg.cong or xorg.conf? [09:33] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV670PRO [Radeon HD 3850] [09:33] Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci [09:33] Kernel modules: fglrx [09:33] unop, thanks, will have a look [09:33] unop, comment it out with // ? [09:34] protocol1, no, a # at the beginning of the line === giuseppe is now known as Guest22155 [09:34] Knotts: xorg.conf - hands are too cold to type good right now :) [09:34] like this #/dev/scd0 ? [09:34] protocol1, but why are you disabling swap like this anyway? any particular reason? [09:34] jsfoxton, dp your windows have shadows underneath or shake when they are moved? [09:34] jim_p it says kernal driver is fglrx_pci [09:35] unop, im running my ubuntu OS off a 4gb usb flash drive [09:35] ushimitsudoki, u want the whole /var/log/Xorg.0.log??? [09:35] jim_p no [09:35] jsfoxton, ??? [09:35] unop, I heard it was'nt good to use swap with this setup [09:35] Knotts: pls [09:35] protocol1, ahh ok, that makes sense - but in my opinion, it's better to keep the swap volume but adjust the kernel swapiness instead (that way you have a swap partition for when it's needed) [09:36] so I should be good the way it is? [09:36] jim_p if i move a window its very smooth [09:36] or just comment it out anyways? [09:36] jsfoxton, does it have shadows underneath? [09:36] jim_p yes [09:37] ushimitsudoki, lol can u gimie that postbin thing again please? [09:37] jsfoxton, then you do use compiz (desktop effects). when viewing a video, temporarly disable compiz [09:37] Knotts: pastebin.com is fine (there are lots of pastebin services) [09:37] okey [09:38] jim_p how do i do that? [09:38] protocol1, i would keep it and adjust the swapiness - see the section on "Reduce Swapiness" here - http://lifehacker.com/software/linux/make-your-linux-system-leaner-with-10-tweaks-333798.php [09:38] jsfoxton, at a terminal metacity --replace [09:38] protocol1, note tho that you should have sufficient RAM inorder for this to work properly or your system could start to be a drag. [09:39] jsfoxton, plus, try some other video output in your player like gl or gl2. its a bit more cpu intense but it does not flicker [09:39] jim_p and that will temp disable? How do I get it back if I want it? [09:39] jsfoxton, compiz --replace [09:39] ushimitsudoki: i feel foolish. but how can i select all on terminal. if i go page by page its gunna take a while to copy/past it [09:39] jim_p are those comands in terminal too? gl gl2? [09:40] Knotts, best to use script - so that all output is sent to a text file [09:40] Knotts: no no you have 2 options to make it easier. 1. you can redirect to a .txt file like : cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > filename.txt [09:40] Knotts: or two, you can install the pastebinit package [09:40] jsfoxton, no, these are video outputs in your player preferences/options. i can only tell you where they are in mplayer :( [09:40] lol, ill try the .txt thing. [09:42] can someone help me i newly installed ubuntu and im getting no sound [09:42] AnCh0vY-, lspci | grep Sound [09:43] ushimitsudoki: http://pastebin.com/d3de5cc85 is the xorg log [09:43] AnCh0vY-, oooops sorry, its lspci | grep Audio [09:44] anyone here?

I know you have to specify "nvidia" as the Driver in xorg.conf, but there are some other things too, IIRC [09:51] coj: killall amarok from the command line [09:51] eweb: your etc/fstab file [09:51] naught: thanks, appreciate it [09:51] you can automount with a startup script. [09:52] coj, one sec [09:52] :| [09:52] ushimitsudoki: ok, thanks for the effort your putting forth. cuz im totally lost on this. [09:52] i need help im getting no sound ? [09:53] :^) active chat today. [09:53] Knotts: first thing to try. make this small change in xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d11feea07 line 23 is the only addition [09:54] ushimitsudoki: ok i open it like normal. and change it to nvidia and close? [09:54] naught101, funny, it still doesn't start. is there anything more...powerful i can try? [09:54] Knotts: use "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [09:55] coj, run it from the commandline, and it'll probably tell you why it's not running... [09:55] naught101, it just goes to the next line and outputs nothing [09:56] as in, it doesn't return me to the terminal prompt [09:56] coj: run "ps -e | grep amarok" to see if it's running [09:56] (i just yped "amarok") [09:56] ushimitsudoki, i thought i was changing the other one, this looks nothing like that other one. [09:56] yeah, it shouldn't, unless it's died [09:56] I need help with sounds, after I am loggin in sounds like -maximizime window, button clicking and warnigs not working. [09:56] amarokapp and amarok are running, i [09:56] i'll try killing both [09:57] AnCh0vY-: Try turning all the dials up: alsamixer for the pulseaudio "card", gnome-volume-manager for master, pcm, etc. then test with System > Preferences > Sound [09:57] Knotts: This should be a one line addition to your existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- all i did was add the line in the one you just put up in the pastebin [09:58] everyone, I want to automount this (/dev/sda1 * 1 10395 83497806 7 HPFS/NTFS [09:58] ) [09:58] ah, after killing amarokapp it works again. thanks naught101! [09:58] ushimitsudoki: ok got it. how do i save the changes? or just close?

[10:08] Knotts: if i still doesn't work after this.

I have vnc running and can connect to my Ubuntu box only from the same subnet, not from the internet. I have NAT set right on my router. There must be a config file somewhere in /etc that tells it only to allow connections from the same subnet, right? [10:09] Knotts: if you do install the new drivers manually, you will have to re-install everytime the kernel is updated. it's not hard, but it's something to keep in mind [10:09] why is neither libapache2-mod-ifier nor libapache2-mod-security in the repos anymore (hardy)?

[10:16] unop, ok.. i'll try to find some answers in #apache [10:16] rkirk: yes [10:16] ushimitsudoki: thanks for the help. but no luck, it froze on a black screen after cont alt backspace. did hard boot. froze on black screen after loading screenn. [10:16] jimmy_buirer: Boot up a live CD with gparted [10:16] silv3r_m00n: there's a package called kamefu [10:17] Knotts: sorry to hear that. Give envyng or manual install a try. I can't see the problem :( [10:17] rkirk: let me check [10:17] silv3r_m00n: It's rather good. [10:17] kamefu its not there in synaptic [10:17] ok got it [10:17] ushimitsudoki: can u link it to me with the bot again please? [10:18] !envyng | Knotts [10:18] Knotts: 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 [10:18] silv3r_m00n: If you've already got KDE, I don't think you'll have a lot to load (dependencies and such). [10:18] rkirk: yes installing it === icqnumber_ is now known as icqn [10:19] KNotts: you probably want "sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk" [10:19] is openssh secure enough to pass through my firewall so I can access my machine anywhere? I disabled password logins and setup a 16384 bit public/private RSA key. [10:19] ushimitsudoki: already got it downloading with synaptic. should i do it with sudo? [10:20] Knotts: I think it will appear in your menu and prompt for pw if needed [10:20] Hello folks, I have Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit Server - I want to install ebox but i'm getting various kinds of Depends: package but it is not installable errors. Had anybody the same issue and is he/she able to help me? [10:20] Knotts: I don't use it so I can't be sure [10:20] rkirk: its not working [10:20] ushimitsudoki: got it, gadda restart. thanks again for the help. [10:21] Hello [10:21] silv3r_m00n: hmm... I'm running GNOME right now, but I'll download and see... [10:22] rkirk: tell me some other emulator [10:22] i remember using 1 which i installed from synaptic [10:22] it was good [10:22] but cant remember its name [10:23] Illusion, what is ebox? [10:23] <_Cid> simplenewb: yup - openssh is prety darn secure :) [10:23] silv3r_m00n: maybe mednafen? [10:23] jim_p: same thing as webmin is used for [10:23] I burned the 8.10 iso to a disc, and on the menu, I chose 'Help me boot from CD' And then Install CD Booter I clicked next... Now when I start, I get which OS to boot, XP(my current one) or Ubuntu, and I dont want this to happen [10:24] Ubuntu_Confused: what would you like to happen? [10:24] Illusion, does it exist in the repos? [10:24] I dont want the option to boot Ubuntu or XP [10:24] jim_p: ive added it in sources.list [10:24] silv3r_m00n: that, or fceu. But I've never used fceu. [10:24] hmm [10:24] let me try [10:25] jim_p: The errors are here ---> http://pastebin.com/d58e2679f [10:25] Ubuntu_Confused: okay, you need to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file for that [10:25] where is this? [10:25] hi [10:25] silv3r_m00n: zsnes is in the Ubuntu repositories as well. [10:25] can anyone help me with squid gateway problem on linux [10:25] _Cid: Yay! is there anything obvious I need to be aware of? I'm a "newb". I've changed my port number, disabled root login, disabled password based logins, setup RSA key, shortened the login grace period the lowest amount I can still connect in. Anything I missed? The public key goes on the server and the private key on the client right? [10:25] hmm [10:25] silv3r_m00n: I actually didn't know that until now. [10:26] after power failiure its not working [10:26] rkirk: let me check [10:26] Ubuntu_Confused: in /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:26] There should be a website where these emulator-type things are reviewed. [10:26] <_Cid> simplenewb: hehe ..dewd, I run a 'secure' server ...and you already done more than me ;-) [10:26] ushimitsudoki: another failure, envyng did the same thing, black screen when xserv starts. so i give up. [10:26] For that geeky nostalgia. [10:26] but I cant boot Ubuntu correctly [10:26] when I try to do that [10:26] Ubuntu_Confused: erm well what are you changing? [10:26] Illusion, do you have the universe repos enabled? [10:26] Knotts: one more thing to try before giving up...manual installation [10:27] some black screem comes up [10:27] with some initrd [10:27] or such thing [10:27] jim_p: i will have a look again to be sure [10:27] Ubuntu_Confused: you should uncomment the hiddenmenu option [10:27] _Cid: lol ok just making sure. I'm paranoid about security and my data. [10:27] <_Cid> simplenewb: I guess the only thing left to do it keep up to date on security updates .... shouldnt happen ...but there was a bug in ssh (debian, which is what we use in Ubuntu) discovered recently :/ .... [10:27] ushimitsudoki: i dont understand why it would freeze on logout tho, i could understand on bootup if there was an error. but this is a fresh install. [10:27] can anyone help me troublshoot prblm in linux [10:27] my squid is down [10:27] or not working properly [10:27] i think ip tables perhaps [10:28] But what do I do to get to /boot/grub/menu.lst? [10:28] Ubuntu_Confused: and change the timeout to 1 [10:28] jim_p: doesnt look like it [10:28] brasero still seems to be bugged [10:28] Ubuntu_Confused: in a terminal type in gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:28] _Cid: Since I run a personal machine and updates aren't as "dangerous" to me I install them daily if they show up. I check manually all the time. [10:28] Illusion, enable them then [10:28] it can't detect my CD-Rs as empty :((( [10:28] and i just wasted 30mins assembling files for it [10:28] auuughhh [10:28] <_Cid> simplenewb: you should be good then :-) sounds like a nice secure box, can I get an account? ;-) [10:29] let me try [10:29] brb [10:29] can someone recommend a better CD burning software? [10:29] jim_p: i dont have that line to enable it [10:29] coj: you can try K3b [10:29] getting that [10:29] anyone got a USB GPS receiver to work with Ubuntu? [10:29] thanks [10:29] coj: and gnome-baker [10:29] Knotts: I don't know I can't figure it. I think the problem is that X is still using the VESA driver, but I don't see why. The only thing I can think of is: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 . It's frustrating I know [10:30] k3b is kde i understand...any real difference in capabilities? [10:30] k3b [10:30] i cant get the latest version of wine to compile (im doing it to hack on wine a bit, not to install wine) and ./configure keeps giving me "configure: libgnutls development files not found, no schannel support." how do i correct this? [10:30] silv3r_m00n: I found this in the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010788 [10:30] _Cid: Sure, accounts for all! ;) Is there a way to obfuscate the ssh version string so it's not exposed? I don't want to compile from scratch and that's the only way I know to do it. [10:30] coj: k3b is more advanced then brasero and has more features, however it is not as simple to use [10:30] hi, I can't get my Dell laptop microphone to work [10:30] balrog__: have you installed the build-essentials package? [10:30] how about gnome-baker? [10:30] what do I do [10:30] ushimitsudoki: im just glad to have had someone try to help. but honestly this looks like greek to me. :( [10:31] coj: gnome-baker is very similar to brasero [10:31] <_Cid> simplenewb: well...you could only allow ssh to reply to requests coming from a certain IP range ..I guess (I travel, so I hate those servers ;-) ) [10:32] jim_p: --> http://pastebin.com/d6ea10b9 [10:32] ziroday: ok then, k3b it is. thanks :) [10:32] ziroday: can u pls help me with diagnosing my gateway running squid...after power failiure its not loading up any internet...unable to ping [10:32] ziroday: aptitude searches for it but it cant find it...very very weird... [10:32] simplenewb: you do NOT want to mess with the SSH version string [10:32] DonnB: nope sorry, I know nothing about squid and am not very good with iptables [10:32] balrog__: use apt-cache instead [10:32] <_Cid> simplenewb: also, sshd could run in a restricted sandbox - so even if someone DID get in, they woulnd't get to your data [10:32] Knotts: ah it's worth a try. Grab the latest driver from here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1897256 and then follow the instructions. It's worth a shot before giving up maybe. I know back when i first installed nvidia drivers it was hard, but once i got them working it wasn't hard keeping them updated [10:32] hi jim_p I tried that metacity --replace and it messed up linux didnt work properly but did play the video files flawlessly...is there any other work arounds? gl gl2? [10:32] balrog__: try do sudo apt-get install build-essential [10:32] _Cid: Yea I can't really restrict the IP range I travel too [10:32] ziroday: wait, the package is build-essential [10:32] Illusion, dude you are on dapper! [10:32] ziroday: not plural... [10:32] jsfoxton, messed as in? [10:33] sec jim_p [10:33] balrog__: yes build-essential, sorry I put an s on by mistake :) [10:33] ziroday: no worries mate. and yes, i have that package installed. [10:33] balrog__: okay, do you have all of wine's dependencies installed? [10:33] jim_p no tool bar at the top of windows...terminal didnt work properly couldnt write anything in it for a while that kind of thing [10:33] adaptr: Any particular reason? If I still able to connect what does it harm? Just curious, not being argumentative. [10:33] jim_p: ---> http://pastebin.com/d23b8f442 [10:33] ushimitsudoki: ok i will try, ive started it but i gadda reboot again. ill probly stop by after i finish it all and if ur here ill tell u if it worked or not. thanks again man. [10:33] balrog__: by doing something similar to sudo apt-get build-dep wine? [10:34] simplenewb: because the SSH *client* uses that version string to determine how to connect [10:34] Knotts: alright good luck! [10:34] any one that can help with NetworkManager? [10:34] simplenewb: it's mandatory [10:34] ziroday: "E: Build-dependencies for wine could not be satisfied." [10:34] <_Cid> simplenewb: hehe..I guess one could set up a system where one would have to pre-authorize ... somehow ..... like ..get a code from port 80 thats only valid for 2 mins kinda thing :P I woulnd't even know how to start doing that [10:34] _Cid: simple, use port knocking [10:34] ushimitsudoki: thanks. [10:34] jim_p: The following packages have unmet dependencies.ebox: Depends: libapache-authcookie-perl but it is not installable [10:34] ebox-ntp: Depends: ntp-server but it is not installable [10:34] esofttool: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 but it is not installable [10:34] E: Broken packages [10:34] Illusion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:34] jim_p it even stopped me typing in this [10:35] balrog__: can you pastebin the full error please [10:35] jim_p thats why i disappeared [10:35] * _Cid is reading up on port locking [10:35] jsfoxton, ok so? do you want to remove compiz or start gnome with metacity"? [10:35] ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103469/ === _sigterm is now known as sigterm [10:35] why can i not re-install individual packages from the Ubuntu cd again? [10:35] <_Cid> adaptr: yup - that would work [10:35] _Cid: I experimented a bit with Opie PAM module which issues one time passwords based on something you know and have so even a sniffer can't perform a replay attack. [10:36] i blew out NetwWorkmanager, becuase it's non-stop fail [10:36] adaptr: Ok I guess i'll leave that alone then, thanks. [10:36] jim_p how big a deal is it if i remove compiz....will it drastically change the look and feel? [10:36] balrog__: looking [10:36] and now i can't get it back [10:36] whats a list of terminal commands [10:36] <_Cid> simplenewb: this is just a personal box we talking, right? ;-) [10:36] sudo apt-get install wine? [10:36] tell me now [10:36] jsfoxton, no bouncing windows, no 3d effects, no cube [10:36] please tell me now [10:36] i neeeedd to know [10:37] balrog__: hmm it works fine here, do you have all the ubuntu repos enabled and nothing extra? [10:37] also what is the best porn site on linux? [10:37] _Cid: :-D yea....... I know, I know, I told you I'm paranoid. [10:37] <_Cid> simplenewb: I know of enterprise sized companies that have their accountant data on less secure boxes than what we are talking about now ;-) [10:37] shepherd: dont beg, nobody helps you if you become annoying or beg [10:37] jim_p hmmm...not sure [10:37] jim_p what was the gl gl2 options? [10:37] balrog [10:37] sorry [10:37] ziroday: i have the latest...wine...repo...enabled...i bet that thats the problem [10:37] so sorry bbalrog_ [10:37] balrog__: try without that :) [10:37] simplenewb: replay attacks are not possible against SSH [10:38] shepherd: no worries mate [10:38] jsfoxton, some options for video output. in plain words its how the gui system renders videos [10:38] but in all honessty how do i veiw porn in the terminal? [10:38] :P [10:38] jim_p ok...how do i set these options then please? [10:38] shepherd: this is a PG channel, porn is not PG :) [10:38] _Cid: I'm seriously using a 16384 RSA key that took 40 mins to generate and 40 seconds to login with. Oh and it's got a 33 character passphrase. [10:38] jsfoxton, what player do you use? [10:39] but prawns are pg! [10:39] (Pretty Good) [10:39] simplenewb: and yet, still not more secure than a 1024-bit key for practical purposes [10:39] shepherd: i saw a youtube clip once of a flash-to-text converter that played a youtube clip through lynx. you could try that. [10:39] jim_p I have movie player and vlc [10:39] zirodaaay sorry i'm sorry, but is askiii porn pg? because i can make due with that [10:39] adaptr: That's good to hear, I had previously heard otherwise. [10:39] simplenewb: the entire conversation is encrypted, what would you replay ? [10:40] jsfoxton, i have never used any of them. look in their options. it must be under video or something [10:40] there is nothing in plain over SSH, including password challenges [10:40] balrog_ please give me the terminal command to do this because that is exactly what i need to do [10:40] jim_p which player would you suggest? [10:40] hello [10:40] salve a tutti.sono principiante.chiedo aiuto per audio [10:40] <_Cid> adaptr: assuming we not already been compromised [10:40] can any one help [10:40] shepherd: there's no porn in ubuntu, therefore porn is also off topic [10:40] jim_p i like vlc cause it plays everything [10:40] _Cid: in that case, no key strength will save you, and the discussion is pointless [10:40] <_Cid> adaptr: yup, true dat [10:40] is this a help channel?

[10:41] jpds: excellent. Networkmanager is fail. [10:41] mb: it is a help channel, but it is run by volunteer and users. do not expect incredibly in-depth help here. [10:41] jsfoxton, i use mplayer and it plays everything... well it plays dvds but without menus. video playback is not about the player, its about the codecs you have [10:41] jim_p: and thnx [10:41] is there a package for fubar2000? [10:41] jpds: it seems that Ibex wireless leaves alot to be desired [10:41] Illusion, you are welcome [10:41] or must i compile it? [10:41] hi. can anybody recommend a good domain registrar? [10:42] can i get that through the package manager?

[11:25] _LeDiO, ask about this in #freenode [11:25] zinnoc: If you have a question, just ask! For example: "I have a problem with ___; I'm running version ___. when I try to do ___ I get the following output ___. I expected it to do ___." Don't ask if you can ask, or if anyone uses it, or pick one person to ask (ask the whole channel!). We're all volunteers; make it easy for us to help you. If you don't get an answer, ask later or ask on a support mailing list [11:25] zinnoc: can you be more specific please? [11:25] i want learn programming in Python...what i will need ?compiler etc ? [11:25] ok [11:26] unop: and I am using the binary package. [11:26] sky_1: no, python is interpreted [11:26] <_LeDiO> or how i can create a my own server on irc ?? [11:26] neil_d, sudo apt-get build-dep openssh # will install the dependencies needed to complete the build .. you'll have to run ./configure again [11:26] my Linux version is Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Desktop , i use GNOME interface , my video card is mobile (laptop) : VIA CHROME 9 HC FAMILY WDDM === geo_ is now known as geo05 [11:26] nsadmin: can you recommend me some page about python programming ? [11:27] zinnoc: what is the problem you have? [11:27] unop: so it wont do the compile etc. [11:27] *pages [11:27] sky_1: start by getting python installed... btw, why python? [11:27] well the screen is white & black , low resolution , maybe i don't have drivers [11:27] neil_d, apt-get source -b openssh # will - but that defeats the point of you making customizations to the source [11:28] unop: thanks I will try that. [11:28] _LeDiO: do i understand you correctly that you want to install your own irc server? [11:28] zinnoc: have you tried looking at System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution? [11:29] sky_1, /join #python and look at the topic [11:29] yes , it's give me only the lowest with 12colors [11:29] unop: ok thank you [11:29] <_LeDiO> yea user_ [11:29] unop: wow, 62 new packages. [11:29] nsadmin. why not ? you recomend me other language ? I think that python is easier than other languages and useful [11:30] zinnoc: can you change any of the settings to be higher?

[11:33] i have wubi, neil_d [11:33] and if you want to learn python, you -do- need the python env [11:33] but you might already have it [11:34] nsadmin, python is installed by default, without it - most distros would be dysfunctional. [11:34] I doubt that :) [11:34] mayank: oh! I don't know anything about that. but generally the "/etc/network/interfaces" is where the info on how to setup the ethernet cards go.

[11:37] mayank: I'm not sure about wubi either, but you could probably use the System > Preferences > Networkconfiguration option [11:37] are they pure ubuntu commands? [11:37] not by a long shot [11:37] nsadmin, errm no, it's because half the desktop environment is written in python [11:37] half of which desktop env? [11:37] video performance issue: after I upgraded the kernel on my Hardy Heron from 2.6.24-22 to 2.6.24-23, my frame rate (Radeon Xpress 200) has gone from 1720 down to 400 (horrible!!) (measured with glxgears) ... does anyone know a fix? [11:38] allsystemsarego, i suppose it's not using the ATI drivers anymore because there's no version for that kernel. YOu can still boot on the old kernel from grub though. [11:39] nsadmin, GNOME mostly - but i'd say both GNOME and KDE and other pyGTK / pyQt apps that do not necessarily need a desktop environment. [11:39] SiDi, thanks [11:39] allsystemsarego, can you check in peripheral drivers' if your drivers are still in use ? (and give me their name too please) [11:40] so to return to the original context... sky_1: it's -very- likely you already have python :) [11:40] <_LeDiO> user hoe can i do this [11:40] nsadmin: interesting :) [11:40] <_LeDiO> how to go there [11:40] SiDi, sudo lshw -C display | grep driver does not return anything :( [11:41] grep -i vga or grep -i video ?

[11:46] SiDi, let me check that, brb [11:46] allsystemsarego, i don't have any ATi card and i don't want to make you try risky stuff. I would stay on the old kernel and wait for an ati drivers update [11:47] salut [11:47] Tapout, you may have errors in your logs, but as there are many logs it may take time to find them. DO you have the lockups when the update icon pops or just after it's done ? [11:47] Assistance, #ubuntu-fr for french support [11:48] Hey, when I go to Services everything is greyed out, I can't edit anything. Nor can I click unlock. Any ideas?

[11:50] hi all, i've got ubuntu 8.04 on my machine, to get a program called "BiCon" to configure properly so I can install it... all it requires is libfribidi-dev and libfribidi0... i've installed these and got bicon compiled and installed working perfectly. now I have another ubuntu 8.04 but running on a virtual machine (VMWARE ESX) and for some reason the same program won't compile there even though I've installed the 2 requirements. should I try updating [11:50] the all the packages since it's an old install ? [11:50] datta, what if you use only epiphany ? [11:50] is there anything like teracopy available for ubuntu that will queue file copys rather than trying to do them simultaneously? [11:50] Tapout, i'm gonna try to find this out but i really have no clue :/ [11:50] ohh i never thought of that [11:50] crazyryan: you did, sorry [11:50] SiDi, i'm searching the logs [11:50] will try that thaks [11:51] crazyryan: your actual user account needs to be allowed to do admin things [11:51] http://i39.tinypic.com/vowor7.jpg [11:51] That's a screenshot of the Users and Groups bit...

[12:41] jrib : It's come up with a list of drives. Which one will it be?

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [12:42] Jampiter: the one you want it to stop checking. It tells you the mount points [12:42] !details | Riddler2k6 [12:42] Riddler2k6: Please give us full details.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:44] hello how do i add a "ntpdate [server]" command in cron to make it happen once a week or day [12:44] SmokeyD: yeah...but its a bit bloated in my eyes [12:44] adam7: The error happens when I try to run it. It just doesn't run [12:44] where di i go [12:44] And its a built in car on the Abit A-N78HD NVIDIA GeForce 8200 [12:44] MOUD: does the error have text?

[12:45] SmokeyD: and that is a console guy telling to you ;) [12:45] Anyone tried 8.1 on Acer Aspire One (8Gig N0HDD)? [12:45] Riddler2k6, you have a DSL routeur, right ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:49] adam7: hehe, thanks [12:49] !sound [12:49] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:49] SiDi: ok, I will, thanks [12:49] bony: what are your options for Privacy filters -> Sender Filters -> Member filters? [12:49] beli: I like the combination of snort and base [12:50] Does anybody know why I don't have any sound output in my browsers? Seems to be a problem with flash. [12:50] beli: and I wrote a script that alerts me on google talk of snort alerts [12:50] so I won't let go of that combination [12:50] : in fact it seems to be a little more complicated. The chipset of my integrated soundcard seems to not be supported yet by alsa (it is not in the official list) [12:50] how can i get proper suppor tfor dual mointors [12:51] BUT : I succeded to make it working on a copy of ubuntu I installed just for testing [12:51] Sohan, depends on your graphics card, I believe [12:51] SmokeyD: you would like beltane too then [12:51] and I cannot make it orking again on my "official" ubuntu ! === dal3g is now known as Daleg [12:51] even if I made exactly the same things [12:51] !enter | nandayo [12:51] nandayo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! === Daleg is now known as [Daleg] [12:51] SmokeyD: do you run it for a single server or for a server farm? load balancing/clustering? [12:52] beli: single server [12:52] bony: or you might auto-responder doing something [12:52] Riddler2k6 what gcard we got [12:52] beli: does samhain have the support for new rules like the snort VRT Certified rules? [12:52] s/might/might have/ [12:52] jrib, there is no Member filters in Sender Filters. I can see non-member filters [12:52] Lmfao sohan [12:52] Ati 3850HD NUGGGUUUUUH [12:53] Does anybody know how can I go about transferring my music files from my Window partition to my Linux one without the need for removable media? [12:53] aticonfig will be helpful [12:53] worked for me [12:53] Nothing to do with my gfx card lmfao [12:53] Since what had a gfx card stoped anyone from getting on the net XD [12:53] i got an ati 3850hd [12:53] I wow [12:53] What cpu ? [12:53] jrib, i think i need to check with the auto responder settings. were can i find the options? [12:53] I have a phenom [12:53] Mickmeister: mount your windows partition and copy it over [12:54] And 4gb corhair [12:54] Mickmeister : why don't you just copy those files to your ubuntu paritions ? [12:54] Sohan, have a look at the aticonfig command [12:54] /!\ sohan /!\ [12:54] bony: Configuration Categories -> Auto-responder [12:54] !ot | Riddler2k6 [12:54] Riddler2k6: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:54] !ntfs > Mickmeister [12:54] Mickmeister, please see my private message [12:54] SmokeyD: samhain can do signed stuff...like signed db and logs [12:55] jrib, thanks. [12:56] jrib, there is nothing related to my issue in that :-( [12:56] SmokeyD: you can use gnupg for example... [12:56] Mickmeister: INstall ntfs-config, which makes mounting NTFS partitions super simple [12:56] bony: don't know then. Try the mailman mailing list [12:56] hello, i'm connecting a mobile phone via usb, and udev loads cdc_acm module. I don't want this to happen. How can I tell udev or hal to not load any module? [12:57] Mickmeister: If your windows drive is NTFS, which i presume it will be as FAT32 drives are well supported by vanilla ubuntu [12:57] Ubuntu should come with ntfs-config as standard as its only tiny [12:57] im running ubuntu 8.1 on a virtual machine using vmware server. Not able to connect to the net - not sure if ubuntu is configured right... [12:58] ubuntu1, do u use NAT for network [12:59] danboid, it's NTFS yeah. I'm unsure how to mount the drive, I think I made an attempt using ntfs-config and now I'm attempting to access my secondary partition, but it's saying it can't mount it and producing an extremely long error message. [12:59] saler - i havent seen nat as an option in either vmware or ubuntu network [12:59] Well, about my sound problem, some precisions : the chipset of my coundcard is Intel ICH9, whis is not officially on the alsa compatibility page. I installed a "test ubuntu" and I followed lot of recommandations of a forum, and finally, after many many manipulations, the sound worked. I tried to do exactly the same on my ubuntu, and it doesn't work ! The only thing I know is that the "test ubuntu" now uses "Pulseaudio" (but when I [12:59] use it on my ubuntu, no sound...). [12:59] .bundle [13:00] hmm how to run bundle file? [13:00] ubuntu1, this option available wen u create ur disk for ubuntu [13:00] jrib, ok i will do that thanks for help me so far [13:00] Hi all, how can i query the mouse cursor's current image from cli? [13:00] hey all. duz any1 kno of a gud ircd server dats ez 2 install & configure for a local network of about 6 comps? [13:01] ok, will try creating another vm and use the nat if i can find it [13:01] Mickmeister: That sounds very dodgy! Can you read the drive fine under windows? I run chkdsk on it under windows give it a once over then try ntfs-config again. Can you see the ntfs partition OK with (c)fdisk? ie sudo cfdisk ? [13:01] danboid, the partition shows up as '225.5GB Media' in Computer. When I right click and select properties there is no information about the partition, it can't even detect what file system it's using. [13:02] Mickmeister: Are you not dual booting then? [13:02] ubuntu1,first make sure ur internet connection is sharing !!! [13:02] danboid, cfdisk produces ' FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap' - yeah I'm dual booting. [13:03] danboid, and yeah, I can access my windows partition fine by booting into it. [13:03] Mickmeister: Did you resize that partition then? [13:04] danboid, I think so yeah. [13:04] how do I install a tar.gz? [13:04] Thats what fdisk is complaing about and linux doesn't like then [13:04] Anyone tried 8.1 on Acer Aspire One (8Gig N0HDD)? [13:04] saler - i'll check that too [13:05] danboid, I think there was one continuous partition with Windows that I resized to accommodate Linux. [13:05] What would the command and switch be to traverse all directories in /mnt/RAID/Photo/ and copy all JPG files found in subdirectory called 'BestShots' to /home/ted/Photos? [13:05] strangeseraph, have a look here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware [13:05] thank you quibbler [13:05] also, love your name [13:06] strangeseraph, you are welcome [13:06] danboid, have you any idea what's wrong here? Have I done something fatal? === d is now known as Guest24598 [13:07] hi here [13:07] anyoen around ? [13:07] orogor, welcome [13:08] Would I have to use cp? I assume so, but not sure how to ask it to only search directory called 'BestShots'? [13:08] Mickmeister: Only thing I can think of would be to copy stuff out of that partition onto a removable drive under windows then wipe and recreate the partition and copy everything back. [13:08] i do have some problems with lvm , can anyone help me ? [13:08] Mickmeister: What did you resize the partitions with? [13:08] hey, here on pidign the output via esd doesn't work. Isn't pulse compatible with it [13:08] hi! is there an application in linux to have live audio conferencing? [13:09] notyrb: ekiga? [13:09] lvm doesnt get activated at boot time , saw this is suposzed to be done by an udev rule , unfortunatly i find it hard to read udev rules and woudl gladly accept some help [13:09] notyrb: mumble is also good or if proprietary..skype [13:09] danboid, I'm not quite sure, sorry it's all very vague. I'm sure I used the default partitioner that comes with Linux. [13:09] Hi [13:10] Is there a way to order the Ubuntu Alternate install disk, but just ONE of them, rather than a pack of 20? [13:10] I ask my question again about my sound problem : the chipset of my soundcard is Intel ICH9, which is not shown on the official alsa-project compatibility page. I installed a "test ubuntu" with wubi and I followed lot of recommandations of a forum ; finally, after many many manipulations, the sound worked, but I don't know exactly why. I tried to do exactly the same manipulations on my ubuntu, and it doesn't work ! The only thing I [13:10] know is that the "test ubuntu" now uses Pulseaudio for the sound (but when I use it on my ubuntu, I still have no sound...). Have some ideas ? [13:11] bah, it didn't work. I may have to find a .deb of it [13:11] strangeseraph, what are you looking for? [13:11] strangeseraph: you should tell us exactly what you are trying to install [13:11] Mickmeister: pastebin full error messages [13:12] menllyos, does somebody know whether under Ubuntu sound is acting on 5.1 loudspeakers with the Creative X-FI card? [13:12] jrib, I can't copy the error message, it wont let me. [13:12] I am trying to set up a ad-hoc Wireless connection and share my wired internet and assign my cellphone IP via DHCP when it connects to this AD-hoc network. I have a intel wireless chip and do not use any proprietary drivers. The default with ubuntu 8.10 work. I have the latest version of wicd. [13:12] I am clicking on Network>ad hock network and enabling internet connection sharing. I see the ad-hoc connection in wicd but I can't see it from my cell phone. When I press 'connect' on the connection all my other connections break, and the connecting process never stops [13:12] nandayo: Prob you have is like me in that there are a millions variations of the intel ICH sound chips [13:12] Mickmeister: what /dev/XXXX is your partition? [13:12] Afternoon chaps. [13:13] You've got to tell ALSA exactly or the very nearest variant it is [13:13] The one I'm using or the one I'm trying to access, jrib? [13:13] Mickmeister: the one you are trying to access [13:13] hello. How can i limit the traffic that is allowed over a network card? [13:13] jrib, /dev/sda1 [13:13] Anyone? [13:14] Mickmeister: did ntfs-config create an entry in fstab ? [13:14] i need help. this moring i have found the root 100% full. this probably because yestarday i have removed the backup hardisk and "sbackup" now is working in the root. How can i find the file whcih accupies at least 7gb? [13:14] !helpme | Jampiter [13:14] Jampiter: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [13:14] a [13:14] Jampiter, try to find a local distrubitor [13:14] I was hoping I'd bookmarked it but doesn't seem I have but if you search for a script to compile ALSA under ubuntu, read its docs and you will find it has a link to instructions on how to configure ALSA for your specific ICH card [13:14] stevr1it: man find, see the -size switch [13:14] jrib, I'm sorry I don't understand quite what you mean? How do I find out whether an entry was created? [13:14] dunno for sure where to find them but i got one from a local guy once [13:14] zzattack: so the wired pcs would be on the original subnet, you would define a separate subnet for the wireless which the linksys would serve with its dhcp, so you'd have a wireless nat as a client of the original wired nat [13:14] jarco: Thanks :) [13:14] quibbler: I have a tar.gz of a game called Stratagus. There's no deb for it [13:14] Mickmeister: pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab [13:15] jrib thank you , hotw can i do it? [13:15] ok [13:15] stevr1it: you type 'man find' and read. /-s will search and then n and N to go to next and previous hit [13:15] I'm trying to run the command ./autogen.sh but it gives me 'bash, no such file or directory' but the file IS THERE [13:16] stevr1it: sorry, I meant: /-size [13:16] ok sanboid. I'm not familiar with such manipulations, but if it is the only manipulation, I'll try to find how to do that === con_ is now known as cone_ [13:16] jrib, http://pastebin.com/d6591d718 [13:16] strangeseraph: pastebin what you are actually running and the full output [13:16] my computers firewall seems to be disabled [13:16] Mickmeister: ok, it didn't. Did you run 'ntfs-config'? [13:16] huh jrib? whats pastebin? [13:16] puneeth: so? [13:17] !pastebin | strangeseraph [13:17] strangeseraph: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:17] jrib; how to enable it? [13:17] well this is the line its giving me. bash: ./autogen.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [13:17] !firewall | puneeth [13:17] puneeth: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [13:17] too big i got lost into it [13:17] I've just dist-upgraded my wife's computer from 7.10 to 8.04 and now a lot of stuff freezes when I try to use it. It often takes gnome down with it and I have to restart X. I don't know why some applications are doing this and others aren't; for example firefox-3 wouldn't start at all but firefox-2 works fine. [13:17] menllyos, does somebody know whether under Ubuntu sound is acting on 5.1 loudspeakers with the Creative X-FI card? I searched for drivers, of information and nothing concrete I didn't find. [13:18] jrib, I did yeah and a small application opened. It showed me /dev/sda1 and I clicked apply and then okay to enable write support, then the application just closes. [13:18] strangeseraph: the line endings are messed up then. Use dos2unix from the tofrodos on it (and any other files with bogus line endings) [13:18] strangeseraph: are you sure this is intended to be installed in linux? [13:18] strangeseraph, according to this :http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/ the game isn't being developed anymore and they are doing another similar game called Bos Wars which you can find in Synaptic [13:18] this page says so http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/install.shtml [13:18] might just say, forget it. Its too hard [13:19] Mickmeister: have you created a directory to mount the partition to already? [13:19] Odly, this seems to half work, but it is not listing all the files. ls -R mnt/RAID/Photos/*/Best*/*.JPG [13:19] jrib, I haven't done anything other than what I have been instructed by you and danboid. [13:19] There's a few hundred more files than it's showing? [13:20] jrib, so no I haven't. [13:20] I've got an interesting problem. My root harddrive partition is full due to also having Windows on my laptop, I have broken packages I need to fix due to trying to install them without enough space, and I would like to start to remove packages to free up space. Unfortunately, I have to dpkg --configure -a before I can do anything with apt, but it complains that I don't have the diskspace. Any way I can get around it? [13:20] Mickmeister: sudo mkdir /media/windows && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows [13:20] i cannto find it, can you be more precise? [13:20] wait, stratagus is only the game engine and not a game? BLAH [13:20] jrib, that command has been executed. [13:20] cfd90: sudo apt-get clean doesn't work? [13:20] No. [13:20] how can i fid a file bigger than 1gb in the root? [13:21] jrib: It says I need to dpkg --config... first. [13:21] stevr1it: did you read what I told you? It answers your question. [13:21] Mickmeister: ls /media/windows show your files now? [13:21] yes but i did not find it on man find [13:21] strangeseraph, try Bos Wars in Synaptic [13:22] stevr1it: -size is what you want. /-size will get you straight to it [13:22] jrib, no output is produces by that command. [13:22] produced* [13:22] jrib i am sorry but i don't understadn you. where should i do it? can you give an example? [13:23] stevr1it: are you at the top of 'man find' now? [13:23] yes [13:23] Mickmeister: pastebin 'mount' [13:23] jrib, the directory exists though. [13:23] stevr1it: so press the following keys where means press the enter key: /-size [13:24] Yamipod can't find libgstreamer and libxine, both are installed. Help? [13:24] jrib, http://pastebin.com/d86e5dd6 [13:24] HEllo [13:24] Mickmeister: did you get output from 'sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows'? [13:24] aht key? where? [13:24] what [13:25] stevr1it: /-size you type that when you are viewing the man page... [13:25] is there a general problem with audio drivers for nForce MoBo's ? [13:25] ok now i ma there [13:25] stevr1it: great [13:25] Etiquette query: if my problem has gone unanswered, how long should I wait before asking again? [13:25] !who | stevr1it [13:25] stevr1it: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:26] Dr_Foo: 10-15 minutes [13:26] jrib, yeah very interesting output actually. [13:26] right then i'm going for a poo [13:26] Mickmeister: you should pastebin it [13:26] jrib, http://pastebin.com/m7002349c [13:26] Mickmeister: and now you should read it :) [13:27] saler - ics has resolved my probs, thanks dude [13:27] quick question, Is there a program that I can use for watching files that are ISO images of DVD's without actually having to extract them or burn a dvd ....In winblows they have PowerISO and deamon tools...I'm wundering if theres something available for ubuntu [13:27] Yeah, I'm doing exactly that. Thanks jrib! lol [13:27] is there a general problem with audio drivers for nForce MoBo's ? [13:27] srx2002: isomaster i think can.... not too sure though [13:27] jrib, is forcing dangerous? [13:27] i wanted to create a layout or modify one from bengali [13:27] srx2002: I'm pretty sure mplayer can just play them. Or you can just mount it [13:27] jrib, could it damage my Windows partition? [13:27] !mount | srx2002 [13:27] srx2002: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [13:27] ubuntu1, :) [13:27] Mickmeister: I don't know [13:28] but it does not seem to make it work as the guide in ubuntu forum said [13:28] datta: read /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.Debian [13:28] sorry jrib what does it understand !tab [13:28] jrib i did read it but the bengali one is mad a lot differently [13:28] How can we find out if we have a 64bit or 32 bit ubuntu   version? [13:28] stevr1it: I mean just prefix what you write to me with "jrib: " so it triggers my highlight [13:28] fady: uname -m [13:29] jrib huh? [13:29] None of that really helps then, it says I can force if I don't have Windows (I do so that's not an option) and the other option it gives is to disconnect the removable media the partition is mounted on, but it's not mounted on anything removable. [13:29] jrib [13:29] fady: run the command 'uname -m' in a terminal [13:29] "jrib" ok [13:29] it says x86 64 thats 64 bit right? how can we make it 32? [13:29] fady: yes; by reinstalling [13:30] jrib, it worked! [13:30] oo jrib you know wehre i can get the 32bit version i use wubi thats why [13:30] "jrib" helpme to understand how to use thin man find [13:30] Mickmeister: there's also ntfsfix in the ntfsprogs package [13:30] jrib, I forced regardless and now have complete access! It reset $logfile. [13:30] "jrib" i need to find a file bigger than 1 gb [13:30] Which appears to be some kind of variable. [13:30] fady: I don't know anything about wubi. Try their forums [13:30] stevr1it: did you read the -size section of man find yet? [13:30] fady: start wubi with --32bit [13:31] Oh, dang. Too late. [13:31] "jrib" yes but it is not clear at all [13:31] jrib, it's mounted folders but no documents and files. [13:32] stevr1it: find / -size +1G [13:32] Mickmeister: eh? [13:32] jrib, there's a directory structure but nothing inside it. [13:33] !jrib it si searching, [13:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:34] hello all! I have a ubuntu installation in virtual box under windows. someone please tell me how to connect to ubuntu in vurtual box? [13:34] Mickmeister: don't know. Is the same true if you use ls? [13:34] Gentlemen, I've just dist-upgraded my wife's computer from 7.10 to 8.04 and now a lot of stuff freezes when I try to use it. It often takes gnome down with it and I have to restart X. I don't know why some applications are doing this and others aren't; for example firefox-3 wouldn't start at all but firefox-2 works fine. Right now I'm downloading an Ubuntu iso so I can reinstall from scratch, but if anyone has a less drastic [13:35] #gryphon [13:35] Dr_Foo: how did you "dist-upgrade"? [13:36] jrib: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:36] Dr_Foo: that's not the proper way to upgrade between releases [13:36] !upgrade > Dr_Foo [13:36] Dr_Foo, please see my private message [13:36] how can i set the num lock actived at boot? [13:36] My friend borrowed my iPod and screwed up the database. Now it says there are no songs, even though the files are still there. How could I repair it? [13:37] "jrib" no file bigger than 1 gb so what could have filed up my root? [13:37] "jrib" filled [13:37] hey guys i changed my umask to 000 ( http://pastebin.com/d56b051c1 ) but when i login to my shell as root, i get an error now ( http://pastebin.com/d3c1d8fe1 ) anyone know what's wrong? [13:38] Otacon22: numlockx I believe is one way. I think there's an option in GNOME somewhere too, but I can't recall it [13:38] stevr1it: I don't know. 'sudo apt-get clean' should get you some space [13:39] hello all! I have a ubuntu installation in virtual box under windows. someone please tell me how to connect to ubuntu in vurtual box?

[13:40] PriceChild: tried gnome-keyring-manager? [13:41] qwerty121, install whatever service on the ubuntu machine.. and you should be able to access it as if it was a real machine.. virtualbox also has a special 'shared between the host and guest machines' feature where you caould mount a windows directroy on the guest uubntu os. and access it [13:41] user_: hi, this is the bug report that I was asking about, I was busy with something else, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/114471 [13:41] jrib; http://pastebin.com/d6ba63d08 is the whole file :( i really don't know what's up [13:41] user_:I got this from k3b also as expected [13:42] dr_willis: thanks. but where's the shared betn host and guest feature in vb?

[13:43] qwerty121, go to the virtualbox web site.. and read its docs.. the ubuntu virtualbox wiki page also discusses it. You isntall the vbox guest addations in the ubuntu guest os. then use a proper fstab entry, or mount command to mount the thing.

I will try. :) [13:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox Sharing Folders Between Host and Guest [13:44] Hiya folks. I have a basic Ubuntu istallation (Intrepid), and would like to install Amarok 2.0. Is it possible, or would I need Kubuntu? [13:45] Hovefirse, install amarok2 with the package manager and in theory it will dowload whatever needed libs that it needs. :) thats what the package manager does [13:46] Hovefirse, it will dowload/install quite a bit of stuff most likely. [13:46] dr_willis: OK, suspected that, but I just wanted to check ;) [13:48] as funny as it sounds, my cat sat on my keyboard and now my wireless is disabled.. i cannot enable it .. it grayed out and i cannot click it to enable [13:48] that bos wars is boring. Blah [13:48] dr_willis: Oh, well, what else is there to do on a winter Sunday?! [13:49] anyone knows how I can enable my wifi on my laptop?

[14:00] srx2002: "mount" shows all mounted filesystems [14:01] that too [14:01] did that...but the cdrom is not listed thee === elkbuntu is now known as elkeee [14:02] anyone knows how to enable my wireless in my laptop? it is grayed out.. [14:02] srx2002: maybe it's not mounted yet. See what "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/" does [14:03] oCean_: open in filebrowser, doesn't seem to be recognizing it? [14:03] axisys: is your wireless hardware turned on? some laptops have buttons to turn it on explicitly [14:03] cmv583: from the menu 'places' it probably just checks whether there is media or not [14:03] mount: can't find /dev/cdrom/media/cdrom0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [14:04] bvalek2: that was it!!!! [14:04] bvalek2: lol [14:04] srx2002: add space between /dev/cdrom and /media/cdrom0 [14:05] cmv583: so, if there is no media, why open the location? [14:05] oCean_: can't use it in bios, to run livecd, or burn anything? [14:05] hi === elkeee is now known as elkbuntu [14:06] OCean: no medium found....but I think I'm not making myself clear I just wanna see where it's located eg: if it's scd0 or hdc....etc [14:06] cmv583: you say you don't have cdrom.. what to put in the cd-rw tray? [14:07] know what I mean? [14:07] /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [14:08] would that be my cdrom [14:08] ? [14:08] srx2002: yes it would :) [14:08] /dev/scdo? [14:08] srx2002: you can also verify by "ls -al /dev/cdrom" You'll probably find that it's a link to /dev/scd0 [14:09] i typed in gedit ftab in the /dev/etc to find that info...am I using the wrong command [14:09] hi there, is anyone else having problems with system-tools-backends after an update? [14:10] srx2002 type gedit /etc/fstab [14:10] !anyone [14:10] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:10] srx2002: /etc/fstab contains information for the system where to mount a filesystem. So if the systems find a filesystem in /dev/scd0 (e.g. you insert media) it will mount that filesystem at /media/cdrom0 [14:10] ok...got ya [14:10] oCean_: trying to run from livecd to resolve other issues, can't because comp. doesn't read cd-rw drive, so, in turn can't boot from cd. trying to burn back-up files also, need to partition ext.

When I plug an external hard drive into it, I'd like it always to be mapped tu the same /dev/sd*-file. Is this possible? [14:11] jacobw-uk: just ask your question/state your problem. If that was really your question, then search bugs.ubuntu.com. If you are having problems with it and want help, then you need to provide details [14:12] cmv583: you also cannot boot from cd? Then maybe device is disabled in bios? [14:12] I was wondering, is there any way to speed up ubuntu's boot-up? Specifically, the part seemingly just before "reading files needed to boot" - for some reason, this takes forever [14:13] jrib: ok. i've found the solution on the mailings lists anyway [14:13] Hovefirse: by using filesystem labels, you can [14:13] jrib: its faster to try two things at once ;) [14:14] or at the very least, could someone help me identify why "reading files needed to boot" takes so long? [14:14] I'm trying to setup knockd and I can't get it to work. To port I'm trying to keep closed until the right "knock" occurs is still visable to other machines. How do I close it? [14:14] Hovefirse: so, when formatting the drive you can add a label (or use command e2label). Then you can specify that label in the /etc/fstab [14:14] oCean: OK. Would you happen to have any good websites handy, or should I hit google? [14:15] Hovefirse: type e2label and fstab in google and see :) [14:15] oCean_: not that familiar with bios, don't want to mess up. Any pointers [14:15] oCean_: ? [14:15] oCean: Ooooh, that's clever! Thx ;) [14:16] How do I set the four desktops on each face of a Compiz Cube to different wallpapers? [14:16] cmv583: I ment: If your system won't even boot from cd, then that device is probably disabled. And if that is the case, Ubuntu won't be able to see it [14:16] Jampiter: CompizConfig, use the wallpaper-plugin [14:17] Thanks Hovefirse :) [14:18] Where abouts can I get this wallpaper-plugin?

What does "ls -al /dev/cdrom" output? [14:22] DexterF: I'm not sure, been a year or so since I was looking for some docs. [14:22] oCean_: http://pastebin.com/d5fd39dda [14:23] cmv583: okay, it seems to have a link to /dev/scd0, which the system sees as your cd-rw drive.

[14:43] strangeseraph: and one of those 2 connections is your router, right? what wireless nic are you using and what driver? [14:44] Gnea: the default one (whch I cannot seem to modify & dave) and another created by me [14:44] cmv583: you do not have any other cd's to try (e.g. datacd with photo's) ? [14:44] oCean_: i've tried to use cd i installed ubuntu with and it won't recognize still. I had a cd-rom, but my kid accidentally smashed it with a toy, so now i only have this cd-rw. [14:44] Gnea: dave = save.. [14:45] cmv583: ok. The ubuntu install cd should work. [14:45] etronik_away: right, so dave it is. what about your wireless setup on the computer?

And your kid didn't smash this one also.. ;-) [14:51] anyone has troubles with iommu right here, who fixed? [14:51] im just trying to back up my files to reinstall linux :X [14:51] so i created a new partition :) [14:52] AgeManiac, If you are trying to backup files with nautilus etc you will need to use gksudo [14:52] Hi i have a problem with my printer. The ubuntu printer installation help tells me i need to install foo2xqx-wrapper but i don't know where to install it to. I have downlowded the .tar and unpacked it but now i m stuck :( [14:52] cmv583: there might be something wrong w/ the drive, but you used that one for installation I guess, so.. well, I don't know :s [14:52] im using the live sesion because the linux installation on my pc doesnt work :p [14:52] hmm [14:52] ok [14:52] hi, after I click the volume bar to adjust the volume, I have to re-click it to make it back. is there any other way, for example clicking the desktop can make it back?

[14:54] quick question: what is the name of the samba configuration file in /etc?? [14:54] cmv583: well, we *know* we use the right device, since you could eject it. We know you drive is ok. Can you verify the cd on an other computer? [14:55] Gnea: ok, so how should I proceed? I have a correct config in network-manager... maybe the interfaces causing the confusion? [14:55] Redleer: that is for mac's. [14:55] etronik: could be - did you add the interfaces on your own? [14:55] Gnea: no.. [14:55] ah [14:56] thanks [14:56] nah think you missunderstood i have no clue where to install the file to and the file does not know either. so if you could tell me where about in the filesystem the printerdata is installed that would help me. i think [14:56] System sounds not working in ubuntu 8.10, I have pulseaudio, alsa I tried many configuration, nothing working, tried in new user, nothing helped on google, other sounds, video, youtube, skype, waw, mp3 in media....... are ok , just when I login when log out is without sound [14:56] etronik: okay, well let's see... could you please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file?

[14:58] oCean_, i dont have samba installed, i am giving instructions by the phone [14:58] al_capone: ah, then it's up to 'you' to decide where everything is put, thats what the 'make install' will do for you. make sure you're familiar with 'make' procedures [14:58] hi! i got when start pc GRUB loading stage 1.5 GRUB loading, please wait... and nothing happens.hlp plz [14:58] hi [14:58] window grow 5 [14:58] Jeruvy:ok thanks i ll look into that. thanks for the help anyways [14:58] jim_p: okay, me neither.

[14:59] !samba [14:59] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [15:00] oCean_: cd is good! [15:00] I want to backup my files to an MS machine on my network. Got a script I made on Gentoo machine. It mounts the remote FSs. What will be recommended for that purpose on Ubuntu?? [15:00] what do i adminsiter samba4 with? [15:00] swat like? [15:00] I have a broadcom card, and want to use the b43 driver. At first my system was using the wl driver. I blacklisted it, installed the b43 firmware, and loaded the b43 module, But my network intrface is not showing up when running ifconfig. What might be the problem? [15:00] cmv583, IS it all cd's or just this one [15:00] cmv583: well..

[15:02] jcan i setup my shell in my terminal? [15:02] oCean_, thanks [15:02] gizmo: chsh [15:03] gizmo: sorry sudo chsh [15:03] what do i use for samba4...swat like? [15:03] Jack_Sparrow: all === unavailable is now known as space_cadet [15:03] ultratek, swat [15:03] Can mouse cursors be replaced?? [15:03] Jack_Sparrow, why sudo and not su? any difference? [15:03] dean_, is that for setup shell? [15:03] oCean_: all cd's [15:03] gizmo, did you solve that network problem? [15:03] ksbalaji, Yes a difference [15:03] cmv583: thought you had only 1 [15:03] !sudo [15:03] jim_p, yeah.. [15:03] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [15:03] jimp: i removed samba3 and installed samba4 but swat cant seee it [15:04] gizmo, installed network-config? [15:04] oCean_: only one what? [15:04] ultratek: samba4 isn't an official ubuntu package. Have you checked #samba or http://samba.org ? [15:04] jim_p, yeah [15:04] cmv583: only 1 cd, since you kid smashed the only other cd you had [15:04] jeruvy; yes [15:04] gizmo, well done then [15:04] Jack_Sparrow, but why not su please? [15:04] ksbalaji, Please read the link provided [15:04] cmv583: however, it's still weird you cannot mount the install cd. [15:04] jeruvy: should i just stick with samba3? [15:05] Jack_Sparrow, thanks and bye. [15:05] np [15:05] how can i install google desktop in ubuntu 8.10 [15:05] etronik: okay, yeah, that's been manually editted [15:05] Padhu, let me find that repo [15:05] !pm > evil [15:05] evil, please see my private message [15:05] hello [15:05] etronik: it won't work like that, it needs to be a clean interfaces file [15:05] oCean_: lol, no he smashed the front of my cdrom drive and it was stuck closed so I removed it. Now i only have a cd-rw drive that won't mount anything? [15:05] etronik: sec.. [15:05] will you please give me the link? please [15:05] Hi! On ubuntu 8.10 live CD where can i give DNS informations? [15:06] Gnea: I see... [15:06] zzz, put your dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf [15:06] zzz, please add DNS in /etc/resolv.conf [15:06] cmv583: ah, now I understand. He might as well have damaged the entire unit?? [15:06] oCean_: right? d#*n kids! [15:07] etronik: make it look like that and reboot: http://pastebin.ca/1305962 [15:07] Padhu, deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free [15:07] thanks. [15:07] etronik: you'll need, of course, to input your IP information manually through the NetworkManager interface [15:07] cmv583: I'm sorry, but it looks that way... :( [15:07] crap, seems I have misread. bcm4312 is not supported by b43.. [15:07] -_- [15:07] how do i install rpm? [15:08] Gnea: thanks, and how do I configure the Wifi network (instead of the wired one) ? through network manager ? [15:08] how do i restart samba? [15:08] Redleer, bad idea [15:08] !rpm [15:08] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [15:08] Redleer, what package is on rpm and you want to install? [15:08] oCean_: this cd-rw drive is working some, right, but won't mount my install cd or any for that matter. works fine if i boot in windows. weird? [15:08] hi. why is ~/.nano_history owned by user root on ubuntu by default? that makes no sense to me, but it is that way... [15:09] probably you'll find it as a ubuntu package too, and installing that will be safe [15:09] vmware is on .rpm and .bundle files havent found deb :/ [15:09] Gnea: you mean to delete the whole thing (almost) from /etc/interfaces ? [15:09] it (~/.nano_history) is owned by root for all users. [15:09] kai` did you edit a file? [15:09] nsadmin: yes [15:09] Redleer, there is vmware in a deb.. guaranteed [15:09] Redleer, vmware server? [15:09] workstation [15:10] Redleer: ah workstation is $$ [15:10] etronik: well, back yours up first so that you don't forget the info there - but yeah, the whole file is causing you problems - it isn't the older ubuntu or debian anymore, there's a new method at work now and if you try to trump it, it will trump you, as it is currently doing :) [15:10] oCean_: well, that makes the matter weird indeed. [15:10] nsadmin: but it always complains: Error reading /home/kai/.nano_history: Permission denied - Press Enter to continue. [15:10] is it in /etc/skel? [15:10] nsadmin: no matter what user i try [15:10] dear experts, i tried to install epson LQ1150 II 24 pin dot matrix printer driver RPM using alien. After installation it is not working properly. Anybody had it [15:10] Gnea: I see, rebooting now :-) [15:10] is it in /etc/skel? [15:10] :) [15:11] etronik: but yeah, in NetworkManager, make sure you set the 'System Setting' checkbox for both the wired and wireless, otherwise you get no networking unless you're logged in [15:11] !rpm > Padhu [15:11] Padhu, please see my private message [15:11] hi everyone [15:12] nsadmin: no [15:12] hmm, then I wonder how it got there [15:12] i'd like to ask why does this happen : http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/7968/screenshot1pm0.png this happens all the time when i go to another window, then if i click on the top of it, or click on "bad area" it gets normal again. [15:12] hi [15:12] nsadmin: what is the purpose of that directory? files that are created for every usr automatically? [15:12] *user [15:13] Can I use remote disk such as when from menu->Places->Network->Windows Network->workgroup from command line (script)? [15:13] Yes RPM. Alien is RPM to Deb convertor [15:13] kai` yes, see man useradd, -m [15:13] Padhu, and it is unsupported and dangerous and seldom works [15:13] ok [15:14] nsadmin i'd a query about adduser/useradd. [15:14] I know it. But it works for me in some applications [15:14] HELLO if I am going to sell my computer to someone, can i just make them a new user and then delete my old original user? [15:15] kdogg: you could format the hd and let them put what they want on it [15:15] kdogg: I would do a complete format and reinstall [15:15] kdogg: why not wipe the hard disk and reinstall? [15:15] kdogg-> its okay [15:15] time [15:15] thanks :) [15:16] how do i replicate the actions taken by ubuntu while it creates the first user, like determining what groups it adds the user to, how it adds the user to the sudoers file, etc. its just that its ubuntu server 8.10 [15:16] dpreacher: see alternate install CD for more details on this.

I am sort of new at Ubuntu, currently installed version 8.10, I have ATI Graphics card and get flickering video when playing movies, if I disable effects the flickering goes away, question is if there is any workaround for this? [15:17] dpreacher: here's a cup of coffee while you wait :) [15:17] humm, can someone help me with this? :X [15:17] oCean_: u not sure what to do from here? [15:17] ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/disk-1$ cd backup [15:17] bash: cd: backup: Permission denied [15:17] it takes 7 hours. the whole coffee jar will be emptied...the coffee powder one [15:18] its the folder im backing up but i cant access it :( [15:18] Jeruvy is it not possible to re-run the script ubunu used during install [15:18] AgeManiac, Is ther a folder on the cd named backup [15:18] s/ubunu/ubuntu [15:19] Jack_Sparrow: yes, theres a folder there named backup, its being copied [15:19] dpreacher: I'm sure it is, but I haven't explored it (why I'm not a distro builder...) and the alternate cd is designed specifically to [15:19] cmv583: me neither. It seems just to quit trying to mount the device, but we don't know why. I don't know if how to debug *why* it stops. "strace" might be a start, but you have to know what you're looking for... [15:19] dpreacher: do just this. sorry for the line break. [15:19] AgeManiac, sounds like you dont have permission to open that folder [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: yeah i know that, but its there a way to get permition to open it? :/ [15:20] yes, sudo [15:20] cmv583: might have a look at "dmesg" too, immediately after failing to mount. [15:20] sudo cd backup? [15:21] ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/disk-1$ sudo cd backup [15:21] sudo: cd: command not found [15:21] well, not exactly :P [15:21] First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the permissi [15:21] ons are set [15:21] no Jeruvy we've got the ubuntu server all set up with a lot of configuration done on it, but until now it was done thru one user account. but now ssh is setup so more ppl will be workin on it, but each user faces problems like not being added to sudo [15:22] AgeManiac, missing / /backup ? [15:22] AgeManiac, that was a generic howto for setting permissions on a partition [15:22] dpreacher: ah, well thats another issue all together. So are you seeking a rollout solution across many machines or a one-off?

[15:32] okay, here's a really strange issue - if I start Battle of Wesnoth (a game) while logged into Gnome, the sound works just fine (pulseaudio is all turned off, so it's going straight to ALSA), but if I'm logged into something other than Gnome, sound doesn't work at all - why is that? this is 8.10 [15:32] I have a question [15:32] dpreacher, why the alt? [15:32] anyone knows why? [15:32] the funny part is, other sound apps work just fine [15:32] What is this "Widget Factory" I'm seeing all over Gnome Look? [15:32] And where can I get it?

[15:33] Padhu no gui on server install [15:33] jane81: that's weird... by 'properly', you mean from the shutdown menu?

I'll try another burning program. why won't it mount though? same issue with printer, but i can print from file menu or right-click. [15:37] n8tuser: "are you sure you want to continue?"

My only issue is the brightness of my screen (it's too dark,) I have a function key on the keyboard and its runs the the brightness control when the func. key is depressed and you toggle the arrows up and down. The brightness box comes up and the bar will move up and down, but the brightness will not change. I will add that it has worked once, but th [15:46] en quit.

[15:46] yep, but without looking at the groups output of my colleague who created his account as the first account and no dialout doesn't really remind of serial ports but COM does...almost. plugdev, what's that for. only usb drives or other devices also? [15:46] Jampiter: use glade to programmatically create the applications [15:46] oops, that was a D620 Latitude [15:47] jane81: interesting, most newbies wouldn't know to put /home on its own partition. ;p okay, do you still have your livecd? [15:47] Gnea: your fix seems to be working wonderfully !! :-) THANKS VERY VERY MUCH !! :) [15:47] etronik: cheers :) [15:47] Gnea: haha, I didnt install the system on my own :) [15:47] cmv583: okay. Went through the strace output, and it is exactly the same as I have when I don't have a cd inserted at all. So the system really discovers 'nothing there' [15:48] I mean, how do I create individual widget themes like those available on Gnome look? [15:48] jane81: ah, okay :) [15:48] dpreacher -> umm can you do a tutorial on linux administration? your questions require some reading on your part, these are basic admin stuff [15:48] Thanks anyway though outbackwifi :) [15:48] Gnea: No, It is long gone...I upgraded the system yesterday [15:48] oCean_: interesting? [15:48] jane81: hrm... do you have a cd burner on the system? [15:48] cmv583: have to go anyway.. hope you find the cause [15:48] Gnea: but I have had this problem before I upgraded [15:48] Gnea: Yes i do [15:48] oCean_: thanx, anyone i should turn to? [15:49] cmv583: well, there a lot of helpful lads and gals in this channel :) Bye [15:49] oCean_: c-ya [15:49] jane81: could be a bad hard disk - but let's make sure before jumping to that conclusion. go to http://ubuntu.com and download the 8.10 desktop cd ISO and burn it to a CD (assuming you have some blanks laying around) [15:49] dpreacher -> the book by craig sobell(sp?) on practical ubuntu sys admin is a good one [15:50] has anyone else followed this conv.? [15:50] Gnea: yes [15:50] Gnea: want me to reinstall? [15:50] jane81: awesome. no. [15:50] will check it n8tuser gtg now thanks so much [15:50] Gnea: ok [15:50] jane81: the idea here is to boot it up into desktop/livecd mode and fsck /dev/sda3 from there, while /home is not mounted - it should cleanly take care of it [15:51] jane81: if you start getting errors, and it doesn't finish, then you'll know for sure if it's a software or hardware problem [15:51] Gnea: aha ok [15:51] Gnea: so if it doesnt finish would that be a hardware problem? [15:51] what is the name of those panels on ubuntu on top and down?? [15:51] RPS: generally that key is supposed to send integers to /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd (on my toshiba) [15:51] jane81: the chance will be greater for it, yes [15:52] Gnea: aha ok [15:52] how to display all process ? [15:52] mossmon: gnome panels [15:52] Gnea: so let me download the iso [15:52] thanks! [15:52] sky_1: top [15:52] jane81: let me know when you're ready :) [15:52] Gnea: what program do i need to use for burning the CD? [15:52] outbackwifi, is there something I can try to wake it up? [15:52] jane81: I suggest k3b [15:53] so if i want to install them on my second coputer i write sudo apt-get install gnome panels? [15:53] Gnea: Ok, need to get that one as well :) [15:53] jane81: also, you might want to save the ISO to /tmp so that it's not on /home [15:53] RPS: try sending echo 'brightness : 5 > /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd [15:53] Gnea: Ok [15:53] thank you [15:53] RPS: replace toshiba with dell in your case (should work) [15:53] Gnea: I started downloading it to home now but will move it to /tmp when it is done [15:53] so if i want to install them on my second coputer i write sudo apt-get install gnome panels? [15:53] jane81: at this point, i would stop the download and just repoint it to save to /tmp [15:54] jane81: if /home is unstable, it could cause problems [15:54] Gnea: ok [15:54] so 'sudo brightness : 5 > /proc/acpi/dell/lcd ...is that right? [15:54] RPS: echo 'brightness : ' 5 > /proc/acpi/dell/lcd [15:54] oops ...no sudo, just echo [15:54] RPS: the second apostrophe also [15:55] jane81: ie. you could burn the CD and it won't boot because some of the bits got corrupted from the filesystem [15:55] Gnea: got it [15:55] jane81: :) [15:55] hi, "Make USB startup Disk" refuses to open "ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso" claiming that "This is not a desktop install CD and thus cannot be used by this application." what am I doing wrong here? is this a bug?

What I did was press ESC in GRUB and loaded one of the older kernels (2.6.24-22) and it ran fine. si there a way i can revert back to 2.6.24-22 being the deafult? [16:17] pauljw: it sounds more like a server issue. But np ;) [16:17] hi folks ! I tried to make a compilation of alsa-drivers because I have no sound, and since I made a reboot, I have two process "alsamixer" that use 100% of CPU ! What can I do ? :-/ [16:17] roxan: Oh okay. How about in the terminal? I'd like to learn. [16:17] strangeseraph, lspci [16:17] rsc-: yes edit /boot/grubb/menu.lst and change the default [16:17] cmv583: do you know the cdrom device? [16:17] nandayo, /join #alsa for the best alsa answers [16:17] strangeseraph, should give you the list of PCI hardware in your system [16:17] now sure where I find this out [16:18] oh, thanks oskude [16:18] Gnea: so what should I do when the burning is complete? Reboot from the cd? [16:18] strangeseraph, lsb_release -a in a term [16:18] roxan: It worked. Thanks. If you know, what's the CLI command? :) [16:18] jinja-sheep: in terminal it would be sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:18] the fsck /dev/sda3? [16:18] strangeseraph, look for "VGA compatible controller:" [16:18] Gnea: then...

[16:19] strangeseraph, hmm, i have no idea about intel cards, so dunno if that has OpenGL support... [16:20] brb, i need to reboot the router [16:20] I know that ubuntu 8.04 wouldn't work with this display, I couldn't put ubuntu on this laptop until version 8.10 [16:20] strangeseraph, if you use the graphics driver VESA, you should have working xorg on "every" machine (but no acceleration what so ever) [16:21] strangeseraph, what kind of laptop? [16:21] user___: vhdl is a special programming language to simulate the hardware [16:21] anyone know a vast ampout about synaptic? [16:21] Acer Extensa 4630z [16:21] hi [16:21] Gnea: r u there?

[16:21] I don't know if I use Vesa. When I run the drivers utility it doesn't show me running any proprietary drivers [16:21] RPS: did anything change for this to happen? [16:21] It used to programming special chipset its name FPGA [16:21] strangeseraph, thats weird, [16:21] jane81 hey x [16:21] I've not changed anything [16:22] everything is working fine other than this one thing [16:22] so maybe I need to see if there's a specific driver for me? [16:22] strangeseraph, thats cause Intel rocks and has open source drivers (at least for some chips) [16:22] strangeseraph, i would first look if that chip even has OpenGL HW acceleration [16:22] Jony: hey, whats going on [16:22] oskude, Acer doesn't. I couldn't install Vista on this laptop properly without having all their proprietary drivers on a CD because they have a special version of vista they install [16:22] strangeseraph, any intel board i have ever loaded into has been perfect graphically [16:23] strangeseraph, ms-windows is a nightmare with drivers anyway... [16:23] the graphics hardware is Intel GMA X4500 [16:23] strangeseraph, cause vista is an abortion [16:23] Gnea: i will boot from the CD now then fsck the sda3 drive. Ok?

[16:48] outbackwifi, now where is the floppy or netbook install image on that link you send ? ;) [16:48] is there any reason that could make "lspci | grep audio" to not return my sound card any longer ? (I made a compilation of new alsa drivers and since, the command do not return my sound card ...? ) [16:48] Need an advice from you: I run a fedora - Windows system. Linux (fedora) is on the second HD, Windows, the first one. I installed "grub" on the first HD (where Windows is installed). I want to format the fedora hd to install Ubuntu. Do you think this could give me pb with grub and the way my system starts ? Thanks [16:49] nandayo: you can blacklist the old drivers, but i think lspci would still show the card [16:49] hi..... i run a server running Ubuntu Desktop..... I'm trying to make it more efficient... i believe i have it set to not load GDM on default but it's hard to be sure.... could someone help me make this server consume as little power as possible? [16:49] persei, if you reinstall grub over top of the existing grub, ubuntu will automatically be in the menu, you'd just have to add grub entries for windows and i think you'd be good to go [16:49] hello everyone ^^ [16:50] just a question, whats the name of the program in linux to manage the partitions? :X [16:50] zlooh : that's what I think to, damn why the command do not return my sound card any longer, I don't understand [16:50] oskude: if you have an atom based netbook -> http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img [16:50] persei, because the ubuntu installer also install grub unless you tell it not to [16:50] aheckler: so I can ask it not to install it ? [16:51] oskude: use the alternate cd for everything else [16:51] nandayo: so you want to get your sound card to show up again? [16:51] yeah, it's one of the last steps, after you've done the partitioning steps, you have to click an "advanced" button or something, and then uncheck an option that says "Install bootloader" [16:51] outbackwifi, that was not the "comment", i said theres no floppy (or usb) or netinst images for ubuntu... [16:51] persei ^^^ [16:51] come on :( [16:51] AgeManiac: Gparted [16:51] AgeManiac: gparted [16:52] jinx!

I really do like ubuntu. [16:52] can i directly install ubuntu without bootind into the os? it takes a lot of time to boot. [16:52] oskude: is there a point youre trying to make on a support channel? [16:52] hey I need help making a live CD [16:52] persei: so do all of us! and we cant be wrong :) [16:52] aheckler: :-) [16:52] papul: use the alternate cd [16:52] !alternate | papul [16:52] papul: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [16:52] outbackwifi, im just saying, please check your sources before you say there is something that is not there...

[16:55] Stalker72, if you just deleted them, and havent done much more, they are probably still on the disk, but how to get them dunno, ask google [16:55] jinja-sheep: they are on two separate sessions; thats not going to happen [16:55] oskude: I deleted them from Amarok "Collection". The names still show up under "Devices" and on my iPod, but the files are empty. [16:56] oskude: And what disk? [16:56] !undelete [16:56] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [16:56] Stalker72, apt-cache search gave me these 2: e2undel - Undelete utility for the ext2 file system | recover - Undelete files on ext2 partitions [16:56] I have tried the aoss in the firefoxrc but that didn't help [16:56] oskude: I use ext3. [16:56] outbackwifi: thanks I couldnt' find that factoid [16:56] ok, why isnt the burn button clickable in brasero? on the disk burning setup after adding the tracks [16:56] Stalker72, ext3 =~ ext2 with journaling [16:56] There are two commands i need to run automatically after bootup and I can't figure it out. I added the commands to the sudoers file using visudo but the commands don't run. The commands need root (sudo) to run from a command line. What have I done wrong? [16:56] oskude: Can they recover data that was on my iPod? [16:57] oskude: Or do you think the files are still somewhere on the disk if I deleted them from Collection? [16:57] simplenewb: what commands? [16:57] Stalker72: it wouldn't do any good off your ipod... [16:57] Stalker72, i have no idea, sorry. whats ipod ? ;P [16:57] simplenewb: add them to /etc/rc/local [16:57] oops [16:57] simplenewb: add them to /etc/rc.local [16:57] oskude: Music player.. from Apple :( [16:57] Stalker72: if the actual files are still there, it should just be a simple procedure to add them to amarok's library again [16:58] simplenewb: you wont need to add sudo there [16:58] aheckler: I don't know where the files went after deleting them from Amarok's Collection tab.... [16:58] Stalker72, i dont know ipod nor Amarok... are they even in the standard ubuntu ? ;) [16:58] every time i start my pc i gotta type in my password so ubuntu will connect to my wireless network, how can i set it up so its automatic? [16:58] Stalker72, amarok is an KDE tool, right ? try #kubuntu [16:58] can some one help with sound problems with flash in firefox, the firefoxrc solution of adding aoss didnt work [16:58] amarok is part of kde, but you can get it on ubuntu [16:59] oskude: Amarok is Kubuntu (KDE)'s music player.. iPod is a music player (MP3) from Apple. [16:59] Stalker72: if all you did was remove them from your library, then they should still be on the ipod. check. [16:59] Ok guys, I have something I'm trying to run a makefile on something in my home folder, it's for Revoco... I get "Permission Denied" when not sudo. Should I Sudo it or? [16:59] jrib: I did check. I can still see my collection, but I can't play the songs. [16:59] Stalker72: did you sync your ipod after you removed them from amarok? [16:59] Stalker72: you're just working on your ipod at this point? [16:59] Formode: sure === sa1981 is now known as jane81 [17:00] jrib: What do you mean? [17:00] Formode: usually only 'make install' requires sudo.. but ya [17:00] outbackwifi: no [17:00] Gnea: i think it worked :) [17:00] Formode, just use sudo for "make install" but actually not even for that!!! if you need it system wide atleast do "sudo checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" [17:00] Gnea: r u there? [17:00] oskude: The 2 recovery apps I installed don't have a GUI. [17:00] Stalker72: I mean, pick up your ipod and see if the songs play there directly [17:00] outbackwifi, jrib: I'm trying to add a line to my iptable rules each boot and start knockd (/sbin/iptables -i INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j REJECT and knockd -i eth0 -d) [17:00] Stalker72: then just unplug your ipod [17:00] jrib: I have. [17:00] Gnea: thanks for your help [17:00] !iptables | simplenewb [17:00] simplenewb: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [17:00] I'm running a fresh intrepid installation and having a weird sound delay in flash games. however flash videos (youtube) run perfectly fine, anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance. [17:00] outbackwifi: Unplug and replug? [17:00] Stalker72: and? [17:00] hi everyone [17:00] simplenewb: thats ok [17:00] Stalker72: dont replug ;) [17:00] I have a problem i cannot solve [17:01] jrib: The progress bar just stays at 0:00. [17:01] jane81: ask away [17:01] outbackwifi: Check while it is unplugged? [17:01] Stalker72, if the files are on an ipod, i doubt those tools will help. but as others said, maybe you just removed the meta "collection" in amarok, and the files are still on ipod, try to regenerate the collection, or something... [17:01] does anyone know how to make sure GDM is not starting on a server without a monitor? [17:01] outbackwifi: Can rc.local handle a command needing sudo and still not prompt for a password? [17:01] outbackwifi: My sound on the webbrowser stopped working since I updated ubuntu yesterday [17:01] simplenewb: yes, it runs the commands as root [17:01] oskude: How do I regenerate it? [17:02] outbackwifi: Ok thanks. [17:02] jane81: is it working elsewhere? [17:02] yes [17:02] meoblast001: sysv-rc-conf [17:02] outbackwifi: yes [17:02] Stalker72, i assume theres a channel for Amakrok, #amarok ? [17:02] Stalker72: are you able to play songs on the ipod? [17:02] jrib: ok i'll do that [17:02] outbackwifi: nope [17:02] simplenewb: read the guide ubottu gave you. It will tell you how you should setup itpables [17:02] Stalker72: there you go; your ipod's nuked [17:03] jane81: what browser are you using [17:03] outbackwifi: I have backups of my whole music collection, but I have to manually edit the data for them, and it takes forever. [17:03] jrib: I still need the other command to run. I'm checking out the link from you/ubotu [17:03] Stalker72, i would really encourage you to find the IRC channel of amarok and ask there [17:03] outbackwifi: Is there a program that fetches the correct data? [17:03] Stalker72: just repopulate amarok and replug the ipod [17:03] oskude: sec [17:03] having problems compiling Revoco... Anyone want a pastebin? [17:03] simplenewb: did you install knockd from the repositories? [17:03] hi, how to application don't close with the terminal when open via the terminal ? [17:03] Formode: go ahead [17:03] Formode, shoot! [17:04] qcjn: ctl+c [17:04] ? [17:04] outbackwifi: I don't want to manually edit all the info for them again. It's like 2000 songs. Is there an app that gathers info from somewhere, automatically? [17:04] outbackwifi: i use firefox [17:04] ok,thanks outbackwifi [17:04] but it is not working on galeon either [17:04] Stalker72: thats called amarok; ask it to scan your disk [17:04] qcjn: either use nohup or screen, or run it as: COMMAND & disown [17:04] outbackwifi: I didn't back up my music after editing tags. [17:05] jrib: yes [17:05] Hello ! [17:05] outbackwifi, oskude: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/103579/ [17:05] Stalker72: ok so you want a program to regenerate your tags? [17:05] Formode, ... you dont do it like that ... [17:05] simplenewb: then you should have /etc/init.d/knockd and it probably already gets started automatically [17:05] outbackwifi: Yeah, basically. [17:05] Formode, Makefile is used by a program called make .. [17:05] oskude: Haha shit. [17:05] Stalker72: there seemed to be an app called id3tag or something [17:06] outbackwifi: Does it work with mp3 files? [17:06] so how do i check my hard disk integrity? i've seen smartmontools which i use, badblocks seems like it *may* be useless now and fsck doesn't seem to do much (unless there's some switch i need to apply...?) [17:06] Formode, are you sure you want to do this ? are there no ubuntu packages for that tool ? [17:06] i wanna know how to install ubuntu [17:06] Formode: just type sudo make [17:06] Stalker72: easytag as well [17:06] on a xt pc [17:06] join #alsa [17:06] jrib: I don't think easytag supports mp3. [17:06] outbackwifi: also, when I press the mute button on the comp it doesnt mute like it used to...I have to go through the volume control in order to mute [17:06] lol [17:06] oskude: No ubuntu packages. :-/ Sorry, U'm way out of tough [17:06] touch* [17:06] jrib: Oh wait, it does! [17:06] hey tpuch me [17:06] jrib: it does have the init.d/knockd file but I still have to start it manually for it to work. I guess I'll look into that issue rather than try to find another way to start it [17:06] jane81: is it a laptop or desktop? [17:06] jrib: Does it gather tags automatically? [17:06] jrib: what should i be looking for in here [17:07] oskude, Thanks! :D [17:07] outbackwifi: laptop [17:07] Stalker72: did you check? It supports many files that use ID2 and ID3 tagging. [17:07] Stalker72: the description says it can from the name and file directory [17:07] jrib: gdm has 2, 3, 4, 5 [17:07] Formode, hmm, i cant think of any howto for building things, but normally its: ./configure && make [17:07] meoblast001: turn it off there [17:07] hey all, I'm having some issues with Madwifi on Ubuntu 8.10, does anyone here know how to setup a wireless AP using madwifi? [17:07] jrib: That's not what I'm looking for. [17:07] oskude: It works. Thanks alot! [17:07] jane81: generally the fn buttons on a laptop are handled by acpi; the update might have screwed it up [17:07] Stalker72: then describe what you are looking for [17:07] !compile [17:07] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [17:07] outbackwifi: Thanks it worked ;) yay! [17:08] outbackwifi: which means? :) [17:08] simplenewb: tx [17:08] jrib: every checkbox? [17:08] Formode, please read at least this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [17:08] meoblast001: yes [17:08] jrib: When you download music, the tags are always wrong. I've sat many hours to manually get the correct tags. I have a collection backup with the old tags, not the correct ones. I don't want to find them once again. :P [17:08] yesterday when i tried getting in ubuntu it gave me an error message saying unsupported video type.....I bought a new video card over 2-3 months ago and the last time I used this it worked....does anybody have any ideas as to why it's not working now? [17:08] anybody got SHM working? trying to turn off touchpad but cannot get SHM to work even after following the instructions. Is it a kernel problem? [17:08] jrib: I want a way to do it automatically. Some apps gather album covers, do some gather tags? [17:08] PrebenR: wfm. Give more details [17:09] PrebenR: whats SHM [17:09] oskude: Thanks! I've been stuck on mac for the last 5 months, really out of touch. :-/ [17:09] jrib: i watched the thing on nbc about inefficient servers damaging the environment [17:09] simplenewb: check what runlevels if any it is supposed to be starting in [17:09] meoblast001: heh [17:10] jane81: do your vol up and down buttons work? [17:10] jrib, I want to disable touchpad on my wifes Asus when I have a usb mouse. [17:10] how do i change the setting so that when i plug in a usb drive or ipod or camera it shows up on the desktop ? [17:10] jrib: i only use gnome on my server for thing i cant remember by heart (chmod codes) [17:10] jrib: ok i will [17:10] Formode, a quick recap: "./configure" checks that you have all needed libraries installed and generates the "Makefile". "make" compiles the program according to the Makefile, and if you really want to install it system wide "sudo make install" does that, but i would recommend "sudo checkinstall" instead, as it does and .deb package from it that you can easily remove with "sudo dpkg -r " [17:10] outbackwifi: yes the buttons work but I cannot control the volume [17:10] PrebenR , isn't there a button on the laptop that turns off the touchpad , mine had that [17:10] jrib: you know any other things i could try to keep it efficient? [17:11] oskude: Thanks! :) [17:11] jrib, I have edited xorg.conf, but if I do xinput list I don't get the section name I put up. and synclient complains [17:11] jane81: ah that probably means that you have the wrong device selected in preferences [17:11] is anyone having a problem with flash on ibex [17:11] xcerca, asus 901?

But there is no connection between the buttons and the actual volume control [17:13] outbackwifi: if you know what I mean [17:13] xcerca, good one, ill try the bug channel though [17:13] CheesyMcPuffs: #ubuntu-bugs is for help triaging bugs. This channel is for help with problems [17:13] hello, could anybody help me with how to write a command that 1. downloads a file to a specific folder 2. mplayer-plays the same file ? [17:13] Ax-Ax: you can use wget for 1 [17:13] jane81: i know; that just means that you have the wrong sound device in the preferences [17:13] well if anyone here has the same issue, or could be any help... [17:13] oh, well, they helped with my cd drive not being reogniyed, but ty anyway jrib [17:13] jane81 , goto sound settings and change the master sound deivce , or just goto keyboard controls and change what the button does [17:14] jrib, hmm I did that with HAL.

[18:06] the driver problem with ati is that vlc anc other video player want run proppebly [18:07] Hi there, I have a slight problem. I can't get internet to work on a Wubi install of Ubuntu 8.10. Can someone help? It detects my network and all other available WiFi signals from the other flats around me but, when I got to connect to mine (even though i have put in the right code and everything), it gets to something about 'requesting address from network' and then asks me for the WEP code again and the whole process starts again. I think it mi [18:07] Dagama, That is a script t help you run ie under wine [18:07] style-instalasjo: OK... never nice to find out you missed something *after* :D [18:07] Jack_Sparrow : thx, nothing from commmand line, but pgreg alsa also does not return sth [18:07] and the scoll button [18:07] IntuitiveNipple: No.. Thanks for the heads up. [18:07] Dagama, what do you mean? [18:07] Hmmm, ok. Got Wine and installed IE6 with IEs 4 linux [18:07] Dagama, FYI.. wine people dont think highly of that script [18:07] gerber, looking at the download page on sourceforge, you'd most likely want the deb. [18:08] Who cares if they do? [18:08] Btw, if my encrypted luks disk just disseapeared from all places (fdisk -l, gparted, disks), what should I do? (I can't even see it in post) [18:08] It works, kinda but can't figure out how to input webadresses [18:08] style-instalasjo: Did you lose the device-mapper driver maybe? [18:08] The_Joe_, If you are using wine and run that script, then you will care as they tend to not provide support [18:09] dagama, so there's no adress bar? [18:09] Yes [18:09] Hi [18:09] Dagama, /join #winehq [18:09] IntuitiveNipple: Like with a kernel update? That is possible. But shouldn't it still show up in POST? [18:09] oh I see, nothing happens when you type something? [18:09] Jack_Sparrow, Well if you run that script the best people to ask for support would be the IEs4 people instead...? [18:09] so i am trying to upgrade wine and adept manager is saying that it would break packages. so it tried it with synaptic and it says "Depends: libasound2 (>1.0.17) but 1.0.15-3ubuntu4 is to be installed" any suggestions? [18:09] do i really need a serial key to use ubuntu [18:09] style-instalasjo: Is it based on a raw partition, or on LVM ? [18:10] i installed ubuntu earlier [18:10] The_Joe_, You can try them.. they are wine support [18:10] and it says i need a seiral key [18:10] dkey: you don't need a serial [18:10] and the seiral key i have doesnt work [18:10] Jack_Sparrow : are u wuth me [18:10] i took a pic of the screen [18:10] maybe u guys can help me out [18:10] http://i44.tinypic.com/2qw04td.jpg [18:10] dkey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:10] a generic question what command can I use for apt to clear out my old configs, [18:10] Jack_Sparrow, Oh. Ok then nevermind [18:10] !enter > dkey [18:10] dkey, please see my private message [18:10] dkey, there is no key needed for ubuntu. period. [18:10] k [18:11] that wasn't funny [18:11] nickrud: That person is messing about [18:11] but i get the msg requiring me to enter a serial key [18:11] omar sudo apt-get autoclean [18:11] IntuitiveNipple: I don't know... But the whole disk is fully encrypted [18:11] IntuitiveNipple, could be. but I never go by first impression [18:11] dkey, It is not a request from ubuntu... what are you doing when you see that request [18:11] Hello, does anyone know of a video metadata/tag editor? [18:11] dkey, if it's asking, you don't have an 'ubuntu' installation disk. Get one, releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 and we'd be glad to help [18:11] ok, I used that, synaptic still shows not installed (residual config) [18:11] Jack_Sparrow: follow his link, he is trolling [18:12] Jack_Sparrow, If you look at the image he sent - it's a drawing on a piece of paper. He's messing with the channel [18:12] i take it that u have not seen the pic i posted [18:12] Jack_Sparrow: dkey is totally trolling [18:12] style-instalasjo: Is it a single disk or RAID ? (I use both RAID5 on LVM and RAID1 on raw, LUKS key-file protected) [18:12] http://i44.tinypic.com/2qw04td.jpg <- this is the serial key pic someone help me [18:12] IntuitiveNipple: Single disk [18:12] omar what are you trying to do again ? [18:12] lidell, that means the libasound in intrepid is too old. you need to get a newer one.. [18:12] does compiz come installed on ubuntu these days ? [18:12] trying to clear out old configs [18:12] babo yes [18:12] how do I create a shortcut with commandline? [18:12] dkey: your problem is your useing version 4.0 try upgrading [18:12] been using ubuntu since v7 and something seems to have messed up my alsa, pulse audio install [18:13] style-instalasjo: If fdisk can no longer 'see' the partition that sounds like something has over-written the partition table and removed an entry? [18:13] thatnk pucko, so use synaptic to upgrade libasound? [18:13] noodlesgc, how do i activate it ? [18:13] omar if that didnt install anything then try man apt-get [18:13] and choose the right config [18:13] IntuitiveNipple: It can't 'see' the entire disk. [18:13] lidell, no, because synaptic couldn't find it. you'll need to find it somewhere else. [18:13] babo System->Preferences->Appearences->Visual Effects [18:13] style-instalasjo: Hmmm... bad cable? non-standard driver missing? [18:13] good evening [18:13] found another game that crashes in Ubuntu. Guess its a buggy app. [18:13] OMG [18:14] THE ALL FAMOUS UBUNTU [18:14] lidell, look in the proposed-packages repository, or if not there try the repository for the next version of ubuntu (whatever it's called) though it may cause more problem than it's worth [18:14] !caps > megajosh2 [18:14] megajosh2, please see my private message [18:14] After a reinstall of my windows my grub is broken and I cannot access my ubuntu anymore. [18:14] IntuitiveNipple: Cable works fine with other disk. [18:14] Jack_Sparrow: you said Wine people didn't like IEs 4 linux, are there any other ways to get IE running in Wine? [18:14] k [18:14] I try to run skype on 64 bit ubuntu, I have problems recording sound, any ideas [18:14] I tried to reinstall my grub, but this is the result: http://pastebin.com/d65a7bb6 any idea's? [18:15] I really wanted to play it. :( Strategy game with Penguins === ubuntu is now known as deus1 [18:15] Dagama, Please ask them, they were quite helpful after I removed and reinstalled wine [18:15] Wow that sucks... [18:15] utabak, Options - Sound Devices - Sound in - Choose pulse [18:15] style-instalasjo: without being in front of that system then, it is hard to diagnose further. [18:15] lidell, or just google for it. [18:15] /msg nickserv info anyone [18:16] on it... [18:16] IntuitiveNipple: So nothing I can do? [18:16] noodlesgc, all i see is settings - none, normal and extra [18:16] Hey guys, I get sound out out of my speakers, but no sound from web pages, and ideas what could be wrong? :| [18:16] babo, yes, normal and extra are compiz presets [18:16] any idea's on how to fix this: http://pastebin.com/d65a7bb6 [18:16] I am trying to to start ICS on my system, which is connected to internet on eth0 and am trying to share on wlan0. is it possible ? [18:17] I tried this on Xp , is it possible on Ubuntu [18:17] style-instalasjo: Well, yes, *you* can continue investigating but there are so many fundamental things that *could* lose a disk unless you can pin it down further there's not alot can be done/suggested remotely. Right now, it sounds like you've got a physical disk drive gone AWOL - check power, cables, etc. and go on from there. [18:17] lidell, there: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libasound2 [18:17] lidell, though it seems it is in intrepid already. [18:18] ireless: you might need to create a bridge between wlan0 and eth0, but i'm not sure though [18:18] oh i am bored [18:18] The_Joe_ thx, but is this path for ubuntu [18:18] utabak, The options on Skype. [18:19] so the ICS using wireless on XP thing cant be achieved on Ubuntu ?? There must be some way [18:19] intrepid wont install properly on my laptop for some reason. is there a way to get libasound on hardy? [18:19] utabak, Your best bet would be to also set "ringing" and "sound out" to Pulse as well [18:19] The_Joe_ I The_Joe_ I can not see pulse, I see my devices listed and hdmi [18:20] liddell: I just scrolled back to read your issue. I had that a couple weeks ago. Turned out I'd previously updated libasound from pyske83's PPA and then disabled that repository. I re-enabled it, and it solved the issue. [18:20] ireless https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [18:20] utabak, Try one of the devices then, just keep going down the list and making test calls until one works [18:20] Can anyone tell me how to fix the Some applications required for full functionality are missing error I am getting in Ubuntu Intrepid while running Quanta? It is warning me that both Kimagemapeditor and Cervisia are missing, but both are installed. I am thinking I am missing the scripts or some configuration to execute them correctly from quanta. thanks. [18:21] IntuitiveNipple, so, i should enable pyskr83's ppa? [18:21] liddell: psyke83 I meant. It provided updated libasound for solving pulseaudio issues. [18:21] Hello. Can anyone tell me the difference between "stripped" and "not stripped" in the file-command? [18:22] liddell: Only enable it if you have used it previously to install that package, and have disabled later. [18:22] The_Joe_ none worked so far any other ideas [18:22] hum, never used it before... [18:22] The_Joe_ I can hear skype lady perfectly but I can not record my voice [18:22] utabak, Not really. Sorry [18:23] ej [18:23] I'm no expert - that just worked for me when I had the same problem [18:23] without networking ubuntu makes no use for me.. [18:24] liddell: You need to identify what version(s) you've previously installed. Try "apt-cache show libasound2" and look closely at the "pool:" line to see if the package name matches the one shown on packages.ubuntu.com, or indicates a PPA build (maybe has ~ppa in the name) [18:24] lib; [18:24] kk [18:24] What's the situation about hda-intel at the moment, the sound driver? [18:24] i've disbled now ipv6 but still don't get any ipv4 ip by dhclient after reboot.. [18:24] stupid question... how the hell do I get a single user prompt for running FSCK. If I add "single" to the end of my kernel line in Grub I am presented with a "Recovery menu"... and my arrow keys don't work! [18:25] The ICS using wireless on XP thing cant be achieved on Ubuntu ??

[18:27] jfry, no, I mean boot as usual, and then type sudo telinit 1 to put the compter in runlevel one (which is usually single user) [18:28] Anyone have a good guide for getting nVidia drivers to work in INtrepid? [18:28] pucko-: That's what I thought you meant [18:28] jrib, fixed it with Adams kernel. Thanks for your help [18:28] liddell: oops, I mean wine version 1.1.12 of course :) [18:28] when i log into gnome, ubuntu connects me to my wireless router. how can i set up the same behavior to happen without logging into gnome? [18:28] jfry, but hm. if you want to fsck the running disk you should probably remount it as r-o or something.. [18:28] Wine 1.1.12, yeah [18:29] PrebenR: great, glad you sorted it out [18:29] anyone know? [18:29] pucko-: Hence the reason I was trying to boot into single user mode... of course that doesn't mount it readonly either does it. [18:30] I have a nVidia geForce 8600 GT and every time, every way I install it, it crashes my GUI and I am left at command prompt not able to get back in [18:31] !nvidia [18:31] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:31] liddell: Ah... hmmm... I hit the issue for build-depends. I've just looked at the installation depends (debian/control) for 1.1.12 and I don't see any version-requirement for libasound2. [18:32] IntuitiveNipple, so, why would it tell me that it would break packages? [18:32] jfry, no I think you're right. but one you get it in single mode you can remount it with the remount option to mount, so I believe either should work.. [18:33] anyone know how to compile games that use the Quake3 engine for PPC? [18:34] liddell: Which versions did apt-get report again? (they've scrolled out of the local buffer here). I've just checked the wine 1.1.12 64-bit deb, and the depend is "lib32asound2 (>> 1.0.14)" [18:34] I see "gtk-qt-engine" which applies Qt themes to GTK apps, but what do I need to apply GTK themes to Qt apps?

[18:39] text-mode window enviornment [18:39] hi all, I just installed Ibex and I'm trying to access the compiz setttings and can 't figure out how. I know it's installed. [18:39] how can i download individual packages from a repository? [18:40] BCMM: use wget and identify the URL from packages.ubuntu.com [18:40] IntuitiveNipple, hmm, that's what i've been trying... [18:40] IntuitiveNipple, well thanks for trying, if i figure it out and your around i'll tell you what did it [18:40] have you ever explored a town you didn't know? you had a starting point and from there had to find things yourself? [18:41] IntuitiveNipple, what package contains the kernel? [18:41] BCMM: look at your sources.list [18:41] I need to run a legacy nvidia driver. Everytime there is an update, it sees my older driver and installs a newer one [18:41] you should see urls there [18:41] BCMM: linux-image--generic [18:42] Fezzler, Just untick the update from Update Manager when you update..? [18:42] I have Hardware Driver feature installed. How do I make it "see" my nvidia driver and skip the updating? [18:42] actually it is linux-image-generic- [18:42] how can i convert a *.wmv to *.mp4 ? [18:42] IntuitiveNipple, any way to get outdated packages?

When Ubuntu loads, the loading bar, usually goes to the login screen, but since I've upgraded to 8.10, it freezes and the screen goes white at the login screen. [18:43] darkham try ffmpeg or mencoder [18:43] outdated packages get removed or overwritten [18:43] [useless message] I can't remember how we send a message to a particular user on IRC (not a private message, but a message for the attention of someone) [18:43] I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed and working on one computer but I'm unable to get past the white screen on another. [18:43] nandayo, /msg user message or in most clients Right click their name and click "Open dialog" [18:43] I tried to install a couple of programs, but all of them comes with the same error message. [18:43] nandayo just include their name and most clients will beep them [18:43] The_Joe_: Thanks. There is a way to identify the restricted older nvidia and have the update skip that automatically, I just don't know how to set up [18:44] nandayo, Oh nevermind - I thought you needed to send a PM [18:44] Ignore me. [18:44] noodlesgc: it's command line? [18:44] no, not PM ;) [18:44] bon, à votre avis, je viens de passer en intrepid la, je retourne en hardy ou pas ? [18:44] darkham yes [18:44] can anyone tell me how to access compiz settings? I seem to recall that on my other install there was some advanced setting under system/administration [18:44] IcyGuy what error message is it?

[18:45] IndyGunFreak, thanks [18:45] well by the way, the question was : should I revert to hardy or stay on intrepid ? [18:45] I want to use umts on my ubuntu 8.10 [18:45] BCMM: Look in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ - you'll see several package versions [18:45] wait a minute, i need to get the error message up again [18:45] i know core devs... but it seems a bit of a redheaded stepchild. [18:45] anybody familiar with umts? [18:45] I was trying to make a webcam work on skype, it was working on kopete & vlc [18:45] noodlesgc: something with gui? [18:45] well well, I see lot of people who use this function, nobody can tell me how to do that ? :D === miguel_ is now known as Guest36256 [18:45] no, it doesnt't work at all and KDE4 is just _slow_ and lots of stuff (like multiple desktops) don't work anymore...

[18:46] I get this error when trying to install programs: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [18:46] that happens to my brain too [18:47] IcyGuy: run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [18:47] IcyGuy: i would suggest following the instructions [18:47] whenever I listen to music for a longer period of time it freezes [18:47] Does know how to get passed a frozen white screen at the login? [18:47] hi! can someone please tell me an iptables command to open port range 0-65525 on both incoming and outgoing on ip range 192.168.0.0-255? i beg you please don't send me link to manuals and i should do it with ranges not by deleting a rule. [18:47] but i was trying to install a plugin [18:47] IcyGuy: ok? [18:47] from a list on my computer [18:47] naxa -> you did do some tutorials on using iptables yes? [18:47] klasikahl: Tim Gardner is gatekeeper for the kernel, but I think Chuck Short does the -virtual stuff as part of -server [18:48] naxa: if you have not changed the default IPTABLES config, all only accept policies, then those ports are open already [18:48] jrib: The same thing happens on every program. [18:48] actually i need it on openwrt, not ubuntu [18:48] IntuitiveNipple: Thanks that's helpful. there are some discrepencies and unacknowledged bugs and i was curious as to the reasons [18:48] that's why i ask [18:48] IcyGuy: did you try what I said? [18:48] ok for using tab, but how to send messages "in red", message at the attention of a particular user, for exemple I want to answer to IndyGunFreak so that he receives my message "in red" (with xchat) [18:48] naxa -> you did do some tutorials on using iptables yes? <-- answer this [18:49] nandayo: when yuou use tab to autocomplete their name, it shows up in red to that person(or whatever color they have configured) [18:49] darkham I don't know of any gui's that can convert to .mp4. soundconverter is a good one, but does not have the mp4 option. [18:49] klasikahl: Subscribe to the kernel developers mailing list, or grab someone in #ubuntu-kernel [18:49] jrib: no [18:49] n8tuser2: well "some" very basic tutorials.. so say no. I can delete a rule, forward a port and open port ranges. I ask becouse I am afraid that i will do something wrong on my router and cannot connect again [18:49] IndyGunFreak, ok, so you receive this message in "red" (or other, doesn't matter) [18:49] IcyGuy: try [18:49] Can someone help me? After I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, the login screen goes white and freezes [18:50] nandayo: yes, as long as you prefix your sentence w/ my name. [18:50] nandayo: it just doesn't show up on your screen as red [18:50] IntuitiveNipple: cool thanks.... the dev contact channels vary so greatly dist to dist. appreciate the help. [18:50] is it possible to go from intrepid to hardy ? (downgrade) [18:50] naxa -> then perhaps you do indeed need to spend some time learning about firewalling and iptables, giving you command can be as dangerous without you understanding the basics [18:50] !downgrade | MsK` [18:50] MsK`: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [18:50] !downgrade [18:50] yeah okay, so I should explicitly reinstall my system... [18:51] MsK`: or tell us why you want to downgrade to see if it can be fixed [18:51] jrib: I need some kind of super user access [18:51] n8tuser2: i was just testing if someone is actually willing to help with a one-liner or not. :) [18:51] naxa -> you must understand as minimum about default policy of iptables rules [18:51] IcyGuy: right. That's why I gave you the command with "sudo" in the beginning [18:51] IndyGunFreak, ok thx ;) [18:51] easy : KDE4 is _SLOW_ I was waiting for 4.2 or 4.3, and when I upgraded, I didn't remember why I didn't did it last time... [18:51] is there a reason why sound works in counter-strike (using wine and the sound is delayed by a half of a sec) but not when viewing flash on youtube? [18:51] nandayo: no prob... === Mez_ is now known as Mez [18:52] n8tuser2: actually it seems people who maintain the information get irritated if i ask a task what reveals i am a complete noob.

[18:54] I have installed adobe flash for fire fox but it sucks cause the when i watch my anime online it like freezes like there is a dely any suggestions [18:54] naxa -> without you elaborating on your network layout of where and which devices are connected, its difficult to give you good advise [18:54] jrib: Do i have to restart? [18:55] IcyGuy: only if it tells you you do [18:55] « Bilgisizler Arasýnda Bilgi Elde Etmeye çalýþan, ölüler Arasýndaki Diriye Benzer » NoFeaR ™ [18:55] noodlesgc: thanx, i'm watching [18:55] n8tuser2: i see. actually I think i will forward the needed port range to one of our computers and connect on lan with the other [18:55] bluedragon: what version of flash are you using? [18:55] trying to watch anime only there is delays in the picture [18:55] not sure [18:55] Im trying to convert my single disk install to a 2disk raid 1 setup folloing instructions here http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch however when i try to reboot into the raid volume it fails to an initramfs prompt and also fails when trying to boot to the original volume... i believe that the update-initramfs -u command screwed it up but im not sure how to repair this [18:55] whatever is available on the add remove programs thing [18:56] Can someone help me? I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, and after the mandatory restart, the login screen goes white and freezes [18:56] Durandal, press CTRL+ALT+F1, maybe theres some text that says what went wrong [18:56] gosh so many issues with upgrading.. people should just be told to do a fresh install [18:57] yeah, that import users function is a joke!

[18:58] there is delays in the picture and the voices in windows it works fine [18:58] is there a reason why sound works in counter-strike (using wine and the sound is delayed by a half of a sec) but not when viewing flash on youtube? [18:58] Hi, what does "libmysqlclient15off" mean? [18:59] Does it mean that it's 15% off from being a full client? [18:59] tekster: there is a reason, but its probably not appicable [18:59] what sort of reason [18:59] tekster, if you compiled your firefox you have to compile it with alsa in order for sound to work [18:59] Can't watch online anime because the picture has delays any suggestions [18:59] how would i do that? [18:59] DrakeDragonwick its just the name of a MySQL client library in the repository. [18:59] firefox came with the install [19:00] tekster, then that is not the case [19:00] bluedragon, well, maybe the makers of the site dont like linux, and throttle the bandwith when you watch with linux ? ;P (conspiracy theory) [19:00] ok [19:00] i thought that to [19:00] when i boot up, i hear a small sound [19:00] What does the "...15off" part mean?

[19:29] MadsRH, how does the cable to your TV look like ? one big hole in the middle = composite, or like 5 (or so) small holes = s-video [19:30] oskude, not from my experience, I have had to use a packet analyzer (wireshark) in the past to find out that it was incompatabilities in authentication mechs [19:30] Titan8990, lol [19:30] oskude -> S-video ;-) [19:30] MadsRH, hmm, then look in nvidia settings that s-video is selected, or something [19:31] MadsRH, i had this black&white problem too, it was cause the composite was sending in RGB and not in PAL (may be NTSC in your land) [19:31] evening [19:31] hi [19:31] Where would one submit a HAL bug?

[19:34] !offtopic | The_Joe_ [19:34] The_Joe_, please see my private message [19:34] Abracadabr4, or the applet does not exist at all? [19:34] oskude -> I'm in Denmark. How do I configure RGB / NTSC [19:34] Fuzzy, Titan8990 and if you still give the right user/pass it asks again ? [19:34] qucik qustion how do you zoom out to see the cube what settings have to be changed in compizconfig manager and what is the keyboard shortcuts [19:34] well, am new to Ubuntu, no icon shows on the top right, related to network/wireless [19:35] bluedragon, Ctrl+Alt+Left mouse button is default [19:35] MadsRH: in europa we use pal [19:35] Fuzzy, Now is when I break out wireshark :) [19:35] MadsRH, you got NTSC in denmark ? i thought all europe was PAL, dunno, check in nvidia_settings, wait i got nvidia too, checking... [19:35] also, another thing. on my laptop when I increase and decrease brightness I notice that it does 2 clicks....how cna I change that [19:35] I have tried to setupthe connection in networking [19:35] bluedragon, Turn on "Rotate cube" and "Desktop cube", disable Desktop wall [19:35] bluedragon, In General Settings set Virtual Desktop size (vertical or something like that) to 4 [19:35] Abracadabr4, does this command give any results: sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning [19:35] Fuzzy, but firefox for ftp not good anyway, try nautilus, it can even write to ftp! [19:36] how can I install IDE to mono? [19:36] pb with grub . I've just installed Ubuntu, but asked the install not to install grub, as ubuntu is on my second HD, and I have Windows on my first HD with grub installed there. Pb is that my previous linux install was fedora not Ubuntu, so now when i boot, I have "grub error 22". is there a rescue mode to allow me to reinstall the grub loader on my windows hd ? [19:36] Titan8990, yes it says no result === tome is now known as Guest90432 [19:36] Titan8990: didn't need to change the default action, all i needed to do in the end was masquerade tun0 [19:36] !grub | persei [19:36] persei: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[19:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:37] like it does on youtube lol [19:37] Titan8990: haha not overly difficult, but a pain :P [19:37] xinel, although I thought masquerading was required for any type of network briding at all [19:37] oskude, Please lose the wtx shorthand.. It is not necessary [19:37] oskude, where is placed that nautilus? [19:37] Jack_Sparrow, so you mean we should not be human here ? ... [19:37] so ikonia and yeryry3, it is merely impossible and putting an index.html file like that in your dir protects it from nosy people!! [19:37] Titan8990: didn't know that, know I will remember it ;) [19:38] oskude, Not up for discussion. Stop ...

I didn't know if I'd like Ubuntu so I set my 60 gig hard drive up as a like a 53/47% split with Windows being higher. Well, I only plan on using windows for a few minor things [19:38] oskude, ook [19:38] I'd like to take that excess space and give it to Ubuntu [19:38] persei: read the link given to you, but yes it can be used [19:38] Abracadabr4, I recommend looking up documentation or forum posts specific to your wireless device type [19:39] Jack_Sparrow, so any emotional expression is not allowed ? WTF! since when ? [19:39] Vinceman: exactly === basileus is now known as Funny-Bunny [19:39] Titan8990, ok, will do [19:39] atlef: ok, I 'm doing it.

[19:42] MadsRH, sorry, im not supposed to help people, im too old. sorry... [19:42] n8tuser2: i've just formatted my hd. I ran before , Fedora, on my second HD, and Windows on my first HD. I've reformated my second HD, and just installed Ubuntu. I asked while installing it, not to install grub as grub was installed on my first HD, the one with Windows. Pb is that I forgot I ran Fedora not Ubuntu before, so my boot loader doesn't work . I need to reinstall my boot loader on my windows hd. [19:42] I am Greek [19:42] Titan8990, it gives me 2 entries with belkin [19:42] persei, run livecd and fix grub [19:42] !grub [19:42] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[19:43] Abracadabr4, one at a time, not sure the ruling here on multiple line copy and paste [19:43] Jack_Sparrow: I run the livecd and just opened a terminal. But now, I'm a little bit lost [19:43] samcroft11: right click on it, select properties.. I think there's a size setting somewhere [19:43] Is ALSA being obsolesced by by PulseAudio in Ubuntu?? [19:44] persei, see the grub tutorial.. [19:44] or are they apples and oranges?

[19:44] bthornton: afaik they are different things [19:44] okay, so when given the option to use OSS, Alsa, or PulseAudio as an audio output source, I should likely choose PulseAudio? [19:45] Gnea: I'm back [19:45] samcroft11: have u tried adding another panel? [19:45] Titan8990: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 050d:0237 Belkin Components [19:45] bthornton, pulseaudio is used to stream audio accross the network or use your own audio by multiple devices [19:45] I've chosen ALSA in the past [19:45] bthornton, pulseaudio is not configured by default [19:45] bthornton: If I understand things correctly pulseaudio works with audio streams, mixing etc.. but it still uses alsa to actually play/record the audio [19:45] <__8472> hi. i have a small problem with my sound in 8.10. to be more precise, e.g. when using rhythmbox, and listening to live radio stream, then the sound without problem. but when i listen to some mp3/ogg music, then the sound is strange on the output, mostly spoiled bass. same thing when listening to radio stream, but not live stream, just i think music from the record, like those streams which are default in the rhythmbox HBR1.com. so, what to hell is wro [19:45] <__8472> ng with my sound?

Anyone got any idea? [19:45] also, i don't see a x64 version of flash on adobe.com [19:45] where should I look for it [19:46] bthornton: I would start with pulseaudio and only use plain alsa if pulseaudio doesn't work for you [19:46] getting this error on mythbuntu, any ideas? http://imagebin.ca/view/Ly3zAe.html what is a soft lockup? [19:46] that sounds about right [19:46] Seracht: if you install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" out of the package manager ubuntu will install and setup flash for you [19:46] Seracht: it's in the adobe labs.. it's still in beta afaik [19:46] <__8472> hi. i have a small problem with my sound in 8.10. to be more precise, e.g. when using rhythmbox, and listening to live radio stream, then the sound without problem. but when i listen to some mp3/ogg music, then the sound is strange on the output, mostly spoiled bass. same thing when listening to radio stream, but not live stream, just i think music from the record, like those streams which are default in the rhythmbox HBR1.com. so, what to hell is wro [19:46] <__8472> ng with my sound?

[19:47] So, I'm somewhat sure my CD Drive can burn DVDs, tis a RW drive and I've written CDs, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to see blank CD .. Anyone got any idea? [19:47] <`Cray> Hello, I have a question for anyone who knows about Ubuntu software....well, a couple of questions really. [19:47] <__8472> Slart_: well, i'm not aware of it, where can i check that? [19:47] iShock: have you tried another CD? another brand of CD's? sometimes cd/dvd burners can be picky like that [19:47] ikonia, do you know hwo to change how much your screen changes brightness with laptops [19:47] `Cray, just ask your question and if someone knows, they will respond [19:47] because the steps are really large on my laptop at the moment [19:47] Seracht: it varies from laptop to laptop [19:48] <`Cray> 1. Is there any p2p software like Warez, or Limewire? [19:48] Slart_: I can burn CDs, but apparently not DVDs, I don't have another brand and can't go out and get one. [19:48] __8472: I'm not really sure.. I just recalled that my sound system sounds weird and weak if I only use for example the back speakers in a 5.1 system [19:48] <`Cray> 2. Is there any software that allows you to create characters for the roleplaying game Vampire the Masquerade. [19:48] `Cray: 1. yes, lots of them: amule, limewire... [19:48] iShock: is it possible it's not a dvd burner ? [19:48] iShock: of course, there might be some other reason for it.. [19:48] `Cray, I believe frostwire is in the repositories [19:48] !frostwire | Cray [19:48] Cray: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [19:48] <`Cray> There is limewire for Ubuntu? [19:49] yes [19:49] !p2p [19:49] * `Cray is completely shocked. [19:49] !info frostwire [19:49] ikonia: I vaguely remember burning one before, how can I check for sure? [19:49] I would avoid limewire personally [19:49] Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [19:49] Package frostwire does not exist in intrepid [19:49] google limewire for linux [19:49] `Cray, they bundled their windows version with malware for a long time [19:49] iShock: look at the model brand [19:49] iShock: look in the bios what it's seen as [19:49] actually ikonia, what is happening is that when I press the brightness up once, it does 2 steps [19:49] <`Cray> What would you people suggest for p2p software then? [19:49] <__8472> Slart_: it could be it, but where to find that kind of setting [19:49] sometimes I can make it do 1 step, but other times it does 2 steps it's really wierd [19:50] ikonia: You're telling me to restart to check something instead of running something in a terminal? [19:50] __8472: as I said, I'm not really sure... don't know how I would configure something like that in linux/ubuntu [19:50] !frostwire > `Cray [19:50] `Cray, please see my private message [19:50] iShock, you can check lspci -vv [19:50] samcroft11 are you still here? [19:51] iShock, it may or may not display the info that you need [19:51] <[TK]D-Fender> back again. I've installed qsynth & fluidsynth, and am having trouble finding where to go to specify my MIDI keyboard (M-Audio USB MIDI controller) [19:51] does anyone know why i get crackly noises for sound with alsa? [19:51] ikonia: Is there something I can type in the terminal? [19:51] <__8472> Slart_: ok, never mind, but thx for directing me to something. it's quite possible that i have 5.1 on 2speaker system [19:51] <`Cray> Ok, as for my second question. Does anyone know if there is software that would let you create a character in the Vampire the Masquerade RPG? [19:52] I just put xubuntu on my laptop and was wonder how to get the resolution at 1024x768 all i see is 800x600 [19:52] can't zoom out on the cube [19:52] __8472: from this article it doesn't sound like it's something you setup by mistake..

[20:03] the 64bit version of flash isnt available in the repos i dont think [20:03] Pedrolito, try using sudo pedrolito [20:03] jw144000, I was under the impression that there wasn't 64bit flash for Linux [20:03] Titan8990, same thing [20:03] jw144000, a major reason it isn't as popular as 32bit [20:03] there is now [20:04] I have flash on my 64-bit system [20:04] Pedrolito, that was my only idea Pedrolito [20:04] Titan8990, ok, thanks for the help [20:04] there's an alpha available. also, doesn't the package manager take care of that sort of thing sort of automatically?

[20:07] i cannot find pulsaudio preferences [20:07] I_Am: i do wish look, 904 is alpha [20:07] winston, you just need to add them to /ect/apt/sources.list [20:07] Zaher: or add deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt intrepid main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" to your sources.list [20:07] Titan8990: thank u. i will try it [20:07] winston, follow to format of the existing repositories [20:08] I_AM you can get support with 9.04 in #ubuntu+1 [20:08] winston, its pretty straightforward [20:08] gianfranco: thx, but what if i want to know from which manufacturor it is [20:08] jopa, if you open a terminal and type sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh it will install libdvdcss [20:08] RonPaul: No, I used to be able to grab a window on the desktop with the mouse and if I pulled it to the edge of the screen it would change desk workspaces [20:09] RonPaul: OH!

[20:10] and the wiki Titan8990 [20:10] winston, yes, but that will only work if your university has intrepid repositories [20:10] Peteed, not unless everyone involved in the call is using the alternative. [20:10] failed to grab all of the repositories [20:11] spikeb, ah thank you, Is there a good one that you know of? [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: I read it Jack, but I need help to solve that one ;-( [20:11] winston, but yes, that syntax is correct [20:11] Peteed, ekiga [20:11] Titan8990: Alright, Thanks. They have intrepid repositories I'm pretty sure [20:11] i get this error when trying to update http://fpaste.org/paste/1175 [20:11] persei, Kinda busy elsewhere atm.. install grub to mbr of drive1 [20:12] !jaunty | I_Am [20:12] I_Am: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [20:12] I_Am, yes, like ubottu says this isn't the place for 9.04 support [20:13] I'm getting this message every time I try to compile Wine: configure: WARNING: No OpenGL library found on this system. OpenGL and Direct3D won't be supported. I'm in Ubuntu 8.10 32 bits, how can I solve this warning?? I got installed the libgl1-mesa-dev and the libglu1-mesa-dev packages [20:13] Titan8990: Do I need to add it twice, one for binary and once as source?? [20:13] JaimeRave: add deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt intrepid main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" to your sources.list [20:13] JaimeRave, are you using opengl compatiple graphics drivers? [20:13] JaimeRave: and get the latest version [20:14] Titan8990: I already have it but i'm trying to use the latest GIT version [20:14] winston, yes [20:14] atlef: I already have it but i'm trying to use the latest GIT version [20:15] is it available somehwere an official/unofficial package of kernel 2.6.28 for hardy? [20:15] JaimeRave: ok, then I can not help, sorry [20:15] Titan8990: I have a Nvida Card [20:15] JaimeRave, I doubt there will be much support for developmental releases of software here [20:15] Here, I have two HD. One is /dev/sda, and Ubuntu is on it. The second one is /dev/sdb, Windows is on it. When I used Fedora, my boot loader was installed on the windows system. Now, I need to reinstall it. i booted on live cd, open a terminal, then created a /mnt/root partition. But now, I do not know which partition to mount ? /dev/sda or /dev/sdb ? second question, I read I need to create a /mnt/root/boot partition. [20:15] JaimeRave, you might want to see a wine IRC [20:16] !esound [20:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about esound [20:16] Titan8990: They sent me here, to ask how to set my 3d [20:16] persei: you can use these commands to get more info about about your HDD layout: sudo fdisk -l [20:16] spikeb: just tried and i still get the same error [20:16] persei, mount [20:16] persei, df -h [20:16] Titan8990: Alright, do I need to do anything to make that the primary source? And is there a quick way to test it to make sure I didn't mess up?? [20:16] hmm [20:16] Titan8990: I did fdisk -l [20:17] jopa, that's weird. should have installed libdvdcss for you. wonder if that isnt the problem, then [20:17] JaimeRave, alright, have you installed you nvidia drivers? [20:17] persei, and you were still not able to determine which disk was which? [20:17] spikeb: could i possibly be getting the same error if the regionset it wrong? [20:17] hmm [20:17] Hey all whats up [20:17] jopa, sounds possible [20:17] Getting Application: Plasma Workspace (plasma), signal SIGSEGV [20:17] dragon_: nothing special [20:17] persei -> you do this, as root on livecd, fdisk -l to tell which partition is which [20:17] Titan8990: Yeah, I'm using the NVidia driver 180.11 [20:18] persei -> then you run grub [20:18] how can i make a custom ubuntu server for my embedded systems that will install a customized version automatically? i just tried pxelinux but having to click through everything doesn't really cut it [20:18] winston: comment out the ubuntu repositories and try to install something to test it [20:18] persei -> then in grub find /boot/grub/stage1 and make a note of which partition where stage1 is [20:18] JaimeRave, have you had a kernel upgrade since you last installed your drivers? [20:18] the netboot installer isn't really useful for that purpose [20:19] persei -> then you root (hdx,x) x,x corresponding to where stage 1 is [20:19] n8tuser2: when I got that prob using fedora, I used to do : chroot /mnt/sysimage, then grub-install /dev/sda [20:20] persei -> then you setroot (hd0) assuming its in /dev/hda or /dev/sda [20:20] persei, you don't have to chroot for manaul grub installation, which IMO is more reliable [20:20] persei then quit [20:20] Getting Application: Plasma Workspace (plasma), signal SIGSEGV [20:20] !grub | persei [20:20] persei: 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 [20:20] persei: says it all [20:21] JaimeRave, did I miss a reply from you? [20:21] persei then reboot and you should be back in business, however you may still need to modify the menu.lst so it also points to your ubuntu [20:21] Titan8990: I've found the solution, i have to install nvidia-glx-180-dev. Thanks [20:22] I had dapper on a server, but upgraded to Hardy yesterday. Now my harddrive is working ALL the time. How can I fix this? Is it something new with hardy? [20:22] spikeb: weird, just installed regionset and it's set to region 1. [20:22] Im trying to convert my single disk install to a 2disk raid 1 setup folloing instructions here http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch however when i try to reboot into the raid volume it fails to an initramfs prompt and also fails when trying to boot to the original volume... i believe that the update-initramfs -u command screwed it up but im not sure how to repair this [20:22] n8tuser2: yes, but I want to be sure I'm not doing it wrong, ;-) [20:22] JaimeRave, np, for the future reference, everytime the Ubuntu updater updates your kernel, you need to reinstall that package [20:22] hmm [20:22] quit [20:22] jopa, your guess is as good as mine [20:23] persei -> you just have to take our word for it, or else you will be paralyzed and would not do anything [20:23] How can I tile the open windows on my screen? [20:23] n8tuser2: ;-) [20:23] I had dapper on a server, but upgraded to Hardy yesterday. Now my harddrive is working ALL the time. How can I fix this? Is it something new with hardy? :) [20:23] IE. In Windows I can right-click the start menu and it has cascade/tile options [20:23] saxin -> working all the time? isnt that what you wanted? [20:24] I want to do that in Ubuntu/Gnome/X/whatever this thing is called, heh [20:24] saxin, you shouldn't use the upgrader for servers [20:24] saxin, install the new version fresh [20:24] saxin -> ummm you dont want a partially working hard disk? [20:24] Lasivian, have you already configured compiz? [20:25] KDE is crashing on both my desktop and server with this error Application: Plasma Workspace (plasma), signal SIGSEGV [20:25] Titan8990: hrrm, not sure, [20:25] dragon_, servers should not have desktops..... [20:25] n8tuser2: hehe.. when it actually is some load then yes. but now its NOTHING going on, still the harddrive is making noises. I tried reinstall dapper again, and when I did that, the nois stopped [20:25] Ok what about my desktop same error [20:26] Lasivian, first thing is first, you have to install proprietary graphics drivers [20:26] Lasivian, have you already done that? [20:26] saxin -> well its updating perhaps the index? disable beagle or those indexing apps perhaps? [20:26] dragon_, no idea, was just making a comment [20:26] Titan8990: Compiz is installed, I do not think I am running any proprietary drivers [20:27] Titan8990: I am using an Aspire One [20:27] n8tuser2: Yeah, I think I will try that. But how ? [20:27] cool Lasivian [20:27] Lasivian, compiz is installed by default but it can't be enabled without the use of proprietary grapchics (most of the time) [20:27] Lasivian, what type of GPU does the laptop have? [20:27] saxin -> i dont know the intimate details, google for beagle+indexing+ubuntu [20:28] the aspire one has gma950 [20:28] Titan8990: Searching [20:28] Titan8990: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 [20:28] spikeb, can you confim whether or not the drivers for that support opengl and compiz? [20:28] Titan8990, they do, or should. [20:29] n8tuser2: no beagle package is installed [20:29] Lasivian, alright, install compizconfigsettingsmanager from synaptic [20:29] whoa [20:29] Lasivian, or from aptitude, whichever you prefer [20:29] saxin -> look for something equivalent that does indexing [20:29] yes sir [20:29] Titan8990: What will let it run that's not proprietary? [20:30] Zzeiss, not 100% but I think some of the open source intel drivers support openGL [20:30] n8tuser2: you know how I can list what programs using cpu etc? [20:30] from cli [20:30] saxin -> top [20:30] :) === chack-un is now known as bayar [20:30] intel drivers and cards supported by the radeon open source driver will run compiz without proprietary stuff. nvidia cards and new radeon cards will not. [20:30] htop is nice too saxin , but you have to install it [20:31] What is a good or the suggested internet .tmp cleanup or install leftover cleanup utility that is easy to use? [20:31] spikeb, thanks for the full explination [20:31] Titan8990: Package installed sir [20:31] you bet Titan8990 [20:31] vigo: what do you mean [20:31] vigo: you mean like in windows? [20:32] Lasivian, ccsm (compizconfgi) is now found in System -> Preferences or ccsm from the terminal [20:32] Titan8990: thank you sir [20:32] Lasivian, the feature you are looking for is in there somewhere [20:32] atlef: Is there a utility/program that does Hard Drive maintenance, like cleaning up old or redundant files that are no longer needed? [20:33] Lasivian, I can't recall exactly where [20:33] hi all [20:33] is there a way for network manager connect automatically to my prefered wireless network after login, without asking everytime for my keyring password? [20:33] vigo: apt-get autoremove and autoclean [20:33] atlef: Thank you [20:33] iLogic: don't set a password [20:33] iLogic -> i think we went over this the other day? /etc/network/interfaces entrie eh? [20:34] hello [20:34] Hello fellow Ubuntu'ers. Is it possible to configure gnome-keyring to act as a server? I'd like to make it so that my home desktop computer serves my keyring over a secure connection, which I can connect to from remote locations. This way, I can manage all my keys at home, and load my keyring no matter what Ubuntu computer I'm working at. [20:34] i am able to recieve email on my server using localusername@domain.com. Cant i create virtual users to receive mails? [20:34] FrozenFire -> seems like re-inventing LDAP ? [20:34] FrozenFire: sounds like you are looking for an LDAP server [20:35] iLogic: I don't mean to not set a password on the Network. I mean to not set up a password to access the password. I'm not sure If I'm being clear [20:35] FrozenFire: look in to openLDAP, however I found the documentation to be mediocre at best [20:35] carandraug_: i'll try that.. thanks [20:35] also how can i control the from in sendmail such that it belongs to an existing user only [20:35] hi got a question...I have intrepid, with virtualbox ose installed running winxp...I have installed the guest additions, and also gotten the bridge setup so I have access to network computers....but I cant print to network pirinter...I can see printer, but nothing prints [20:35] carandraug_: sure :) [20:36] Does anyone else have an error with flash in intrepid? [20:36] cweigle, what sort of error? [20:36] I tried fixing based on what it says to do online, but it didn't help [20:36] well,this is not ubuntu but.. i am trying to port forwarding on an openwrt (older ver) kamikaze router (asus wl500gp 1) with the following /etc/firewall.user: http://www.revai.hu/~colombus/firewall_user.txt and iptables -L says this http://www.revai.hu/~colombus/iptables.txt but the forwarding actually doesn't work. required ports are open on destination (192.168.10.195). can you help me...

[20:40] The_Joe_, err links, you will need to reinstall grub [20:40] ugarit: i don'tknow how stable it would be, but i would be worrid about running a production mission critical server over a samba mount on a raid'd nas === ward_ is now known as Wardje [20:40] * cweigle is interested in various space age technologies, and have verified one's we thought unable to work for hundreds of years, plausible in our time.

[20:41] ugarit: i use a fair amount of shared network filesystems at work and i can tell you for sure that if it is an intensive database, you may incur extra processing time due to i/o overhead [20:41] Hello everyone! [20:41] lol @ the bluff [20:41] klasikahl thanks [20:41] you may = you will [20:41] and it's a big hit [20:42] n8tuser2: can you please give me the tutorial address again? my chatzilla actually not logging nor my firefox [20:42] can someone help me figure out how to get going with mac f ilesharing, I am looking at the tutorial but do not know what to do when it says : First, however you will need to add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://interreality.org/software/debian unstable main [20:42] is there any applications that will display video/visuals on on screen and the other screen showing controls?

I'll be back! :) [20:43] lolwut, if you add a debian repository to your sources you will likely lose support on forums and in IRC [20:43] Titan8900: ok, would you please walk me through what to do, it is important I get this done today [20:43] hey folks [20:43] ugarit: you know, i'm not entirely sure about that because i'm fortunate enough to not have to worry about such things (all nix environment), but MSFT may have some magic in server2008 for shared FS [20:43] lolwut, MACs can use smb like linux by default [20:43] anyone know about cryptofs under 8.10? [20:43] lolwut, as well as NFS [20:43] Well I officially am leaving, later. [20:43] ugarit: it's really very similar. [20:43] lolwut just edit sources.list [20:43] for instance, which package provides cryptofs?

[20:45] deany: ok [20:45] lolwut, I don't know much about MAC OS [20:45] I've been trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, but even after following these instructions [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades], I get this error message [http://paste.ubuntu.com/103630/] and then this message [http://paste.ubuntu.com/103631/]. Can anybody help me out? [20:45] ugarit: NAS vs SAN... i mean if you use iscsi, (exporting partitions) you have filesystem problems because you need a clustered, shared locking file system (OCFS2, apple's xSAN, etc).... nfs, samba, they handle locking already and you don't need something like iscsi, but samba is not the best for performance, AFAIK [20:45] lolwut, but I do know it can handle window shares by default [20:45] I'm looking in my router status for wireless connections and its IP address is 0.0.0.0 [20:45] n8tuser2: i mean i really don't have man on router but i can find it on google. [20:46] lolwut: use this guide to setup a SAMBA server, which is the same as windows shares: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [20:46] naxa -> do you want me to give you good advise or half baked one?

[20:46] Jack_Sparrow, Yeah - same question. Problems with GRUB [20:46] which can amount to quite a bit [20:46] n8tuser2: give it a go. a good one for sure. [20:46] lolwut, I have a feeling there is a better way since MAC OS is bsd based it likely include NFS but if you need it now, go with SAMBA [20:46] do you any free point of sale that works with ubuntu / [20:47] lolwut, you trying to share files with a mac? [20:47] also, i have one other question - does anyone have a sure fire way to stop ubuntu from crashes on reboot / shutdown when you have mounted shares using smb or cifs? [20:47] Kruppstahl, you likely need zlib-dev [20:47] and - why have the devs not fixed this bug that's been idenitifed and around for years [20:47] Titan8990: thx, ill try that [20:47] Kruppstahl, when compiling, you always need -dev version of a library [20:47] k [20:47] deany: it ran pretty fast and got some junk out..I am having issues with updates cause some of the stuff is redundant [20:48] gerber -> those php based ones works i believe, not sure how well they work with barcode readers as inputs [20:48] bioshake, the bridge should get an ip address for itself, but it not, you could staticly set one [20:48] hi i use hardy and want to use my saa7134 with vlc, anyone can help? [20:48] SpaceBass: yess, I do not own any winboxes, just this ubuntu desktop and 2 macbooks, I want to use this box so that the macbooks can get pics/music/and video from it [20:48] lolwut, there is a linux implementation of Apple File Sharing called netatalk that rocks [20:48] lolwut, will let you connect to the linux box via afp from the mac [20:49] lolwut, it makes your linux box very useful as a file server for macs [20:49] SpaceBass: is it fairly easy to get going? [20:49] lolwut: you can use mt-daap for music, and itunes on your MAC will see the share [20:49] lolwut, easier than samba :D but requires some file editing [20:49] k - I'm about to reinstall Windows on my second HDD, what problems will I have with GRUB and how can I fix them without losing Ubuntu [20:49] How do I use sdparm?

[20:50] I'm about to throw Ubuntu on my laptop and I have a recovery partition (that I want to keep) so I'll be allowed one less partition. When I create a 'logical' to put two other partitions on how do I specify this? And which should go on there of root, home and swap? [20:50] lolwut, start with installing it, sudo apt-get install netatalk [20:50] Titan8990, I was lagging out [20:50] SpaceBass: I think its a glitch on the dlink router that's showing the IP address as 0.0.0.0 instead of what it really is [20:50] The_Joe_, ah, np [20:50] okay, and if mrwes wants to help too!, that would be awesome! [20:50] Right I'll try the link [20:50] bioshake, when it comes to dlink that doesnt surprise me :D [20:51] The_joe_, the windows bootloader will overwrite grub, it just needs to be reinstalled [20:51] Titan8990, Right ok, the last time I did it I was told to use "fixmbr" - hell. [20:51] Orfeo -> yes, use the manual partitioning and create the extended partitions for /, /home and /swap [20:51] Does anyone know how to optimize my SDA for laptop usage using sdparm?> [20:51] mrwes, titan8990, I have the eudo apt-get netatalk now [20:51] lolwut, and mrwes has a good suggestion, for sharing music, firefly works well... but its better for sharing existing audio files, not as an itunes library replacement === erik_ is now known as Guest43805 [20:51] if I plug a computer into the switch on the bridge and do a tracert, will it be using the bridge as gateway, or will it just use the router? [20:52] lolwut: try here http://www.fireflymediaserver.org/ [20:52] The_Joe_: fixmbr will only fix the windows boot, it wont let you boot in to ubuntu [20:52] bioshake, ti will use the router as the gateway [20:52] lolwut: I run it on my Ubuntu box for mp3 shares over the network [20:52] The_Joe_: for that, you have to reinstall grub [20:52] bioshake -> it will use whatever is in front of it [20:52] dammnit is there any other way I can find its IP? [20:52] Titan8990, Yes. That's why I was checking [20:52] lolwut, follow along with them, they knew more about the mac os specifics [20:52] lolwut, just remember, that with firefly you won't be playing any DRM'ed content from itunes [20:52] Is that SunxVM virtual box any good? [20:52] lolwut, so you installed netatalk? [20:53] vigo -> seems very good to me [20:53] vigo: yes [20:53] vigo: yes, virtualbox is fine [20:53] vigo, i like it [20:53] Thank you, seems to work nice [20:53] lolwut, on a mac, in the finder click GO menu --> connect to server then enter afp:// and click ok [20:53] vigo: unless you need something HIGHLY configurable use vbox, otherwise use qemu/kvm [20:53] SpaceBass: yes, and for the record I have a ton of movies and music and pics that i want to be able to acess with my macbook, so we can use thae macbook hooked to the tv as an htpc [20:53] its free, fast and even supports mounting of isos [20:53] thank you Titan8990, installing the zlib dev did the trick [20:53] lolwut, after we get this working, you have to let me sell you on Boxee too :D [20:53] are seagate barracuda hdds any good? or should i go with samsung spinpoint? [20:54] Kruppstahl, good hear :) [20:54] djungelkraem, 6 in one, 1/2 dozen in the other :d [20:54] Titan8990 why would anyone use qemu/kvm over Vbox ? [20:54] SpaceBass, there is my first lolmoment, I wouldnt have the foggiest how to find out the ip of this desktop, but brb grabbing macbook [20:54] lolwut -> you may want to look into IceCast to do the streaming for you, linux hosting it and you can use any clients [20:54] how can i configure my intrepid to have dual screens?

[20:56] woofsie, you have to use sudo when you open it [20:56] woofsie, example: sudo nano /etc/hosts [20:56] rblst, there may be, but I know that nvidia has a slick gui app for it [20:56] oh okay [20:56] brb [20:56] i wasn't using the terminal, thanks [20:56] woofsie, you have to.... [20:57] is there a way to make the grub menu remember and boot to whatever it was you last picked? [20:57] n8tuser2: tell me more a bout that in a sec please, first lemme get the network working here with SpaceBass [20:57] SpaceBass: I am a BOXEE member, that is in part why I want to get my macbook up as a htpc [20:57] Woofsie, type: gksudo nautilus [20:57] woofsie, you can use a GUI editor like so: gksu gedit /etc/hosts [20:57] Woofsie, and theres a gui app too... something like gsudo that executes gui apps as root... and there's a sudo-enabled gui editor too...not sure what its called [20:57] Woofsie: alt+f2 gksu gedit and open your file [20:57] Ook I hope this work [20:57] s [20:57] woofsie, I have to recommend against opening a file manager as root just to edit a config file [20:57] lolwut, lets find that IP address [20:58] i think you can right click on the connection icon in the upper right corner [20:58] SpaceBass, this means i have to play with xorg.conf? i have an integrated intel 855gm card [20:58] Titan8990 some help [20:58] what font do you guys use? [20:58] gfather1, sorry? [20:58] rblst, I think there are gui ways, but I'm not the one to walk you through that...sorry :( [20:58] Is /tmp purged on reboot? [20:58] Titan8990 im trying to install some packages on ubuntu 7 [20:58] fitztrev, yes [20:59] thank you anyway, SpaceBass [20:59] VioletsPie: a HUGE one,,I am old and going blind [20:59] rblst, if you have nvidia card you can use th nvidia settings manager [20:59] Titan8990 but every time , diffrent packages i get faild to fetch http: ...... [20:59] even with updae same errors [20:59] lolwut, ? [20:59] gnome get IP address by right click on network manager and go to connection information [20:59] SpaceBass I found dns and hosts and such under system admin network [20:59] Titan8990, i have an intel card; but there used to be a gnome app to do this if i remember right [20:59] Kiption: ok thanks [21:00] VioletsPie: trebuchet ms [21:00] lolwut, just need the IP [21:00] One more time, everyone who would like to help troubleshoot my raid setup, please have a look at my configuration files and boot time errors @ http://uhsf.net/software_raid.html#configuration_files . Tell me if there are other pertinent files i should upload. [21:00] rblst, try seaching the repositories for something like: dual screen [21:00] SpaceBass would that be the local host? [21:00] Titan8990, i will, thanks [21:00] the gksu gedit thing worked perfectly, thanks a lot [21:00] lolwut, maybe...whats it say? 192.168....? [21:00] im trying to install some packages and stuff , and i get faild to fetch http://,,,, same with update and stuff [21:00] and gfather1, I am not sure about you apt issue, are you connected to the internet? [21:01] wow [21:01] Titan8990 yes :) [21:01] woofsie, good to hear [21:01] SpaceBass, no, maybe I am looking in the wrong place it is a 127. [21:01] gfather1, are on a school campus or behind a firewall that could be blocking the connection? [21:01] Hello. I have a HOWTO on OpenVPN configuration to access my office. Though it is designed to be the one connection at all. I want to use openvpn to have more than one VPN connection. Is there like any kind of help like some general manual on configuring VPN clients? I'm not using gnome or something. [21:01] SpaceBass, I think a 192.168 is for the router [21:02] Titan8990 no [21:02] lolwut, everything on your network will start with 192.168.1.X and X will be different for each machine [21:02] Titan8990 like when i want to install some packages , like 4 packages , 2 works , and 2 dont [21:02] same with update . [21:03] gfather1, have you manually added reporsitories? [21:03] SpaceBass, when I go to system/admin/network none of them are 192 [21:03] Titan8990 that could be , not sure , im using a vmware one that has some development tools [21:03] hey, can someone help me with installing ubuntu? I'm have a weird video related issue [21:04] BedPost: What's the issue? [21:04] gfather1, you will probably need to remove any additions you have to /etc/apt/sources.list [21:04] Well, I first tried to install ubuntu with the normal 8.10 iso, however, when I hit the "install ubuntu" command, my screen just went white [21:04] Titan8990 ok , ill chek it now to see if there otehr than ubuntu stuff, thanks [21:04] gfather1, likely one of the repositories you have added no longer exists [21:04] gfather1: What's the message you're getting for the two that dont? [21:05] is there a spimle way to configure my intrepid to have dual screens? [21:05] Flannel, in Gnome, where can I find my IP [21:05] gfather, also run: sudo apt-get update [21:05] Flannel one sec [21:05] lolwut: Uh.... which IP? [21:05] gfather1, after you do that [21:05] So I got the alt cd, and that let me install completely, but once I did that and tried to boot into ubuntu, I got the white screen again (I could hear the login drums tho) [21:05] Titan8990 did that , i get same message after some updates :( [21:05] hey I want to add a new keyboard layout to my computer, to appear in the list along with "USA International (with dead keys)", "USA International (with AltGr dead keys)", "USA", "USA Macintosh", …. How do I do this? [21:05] rblst: Probably, depending on your system [21:05] I can even login, but no video [21:05] is there a reason i can not use mkdosfs on my copy of ubuntu ? [21:05] can i do a netinstall over wireless? [21:05] gfather1, post here the specific ones that are failing [21:05] trying to create a bootable usb stick [21:05] timebomb: Yes [21:05] Juppalo: that is? [21:06] hey all; there is a switch for reinstalling a package using apt-get that replaces the conf files in /etc when doing 'apt-get install samba' what is this switch again.. anyone can help me out? [21:06] lolwut, what is wrong with ifconifg? [21:06] timebomb: If your hardware is supported by the installer (which is less likely) [21:06] lolwut, err ifconfig i mean [21:06] rblst: do you have a nvidia card? [21:06] enovativ: ext2 is pretty much bootable. [21:06] i want to use mkdosfs before i use parted [21:06] Hi, I need some help. I installed 8.04 server and upgraded to 8.10 server and ubuntu still doesn't recognize my NIC. If I just boot to 8.10 liveCD the NIC works fine. How do I make ubuntu server to just redetect my network hardware and setup the correct drivers and all ? [21:06] Flannel, I am trying to set up a network between this ubuntu box and 2 macbooks, so I need the ip of this desktop I think (I have a lynksis router too) [21:06] Juppalo: i have an intel card [21:06] Flannel: i think the ethernet driver is broken [21:06] temoto-mobi: i am trying to create a bootable usb stick to install windows xp on a different box [21:06] enovativ: use mkdosfs at your will. parted will use mk*fs too. [21:07] barduck: Are you using the -server kernel or the -generic kernel? [21:07] barduck, why not just install 8.10 server instead of the upgrading? [21:07] rblst: aah integrated into your motherboard? [21:07] mud isnt it purge or something like that? [21:07] Linux can read msdos and ntfs, is there any unix filesystem that windows can read? [21:07] Flannel: so i get to the installer with pexlinux but itll fail during the checking the ubuntu archive mirror part, is there any way to cancel that btw? [21:07] Juppalo: yes, a notebook [21:07] Lasivian: Not natively, no. [21:07] temoto-mobi: i want the usb stick to be bootable, and the stick is only 1 GB...so i read it was advisable to use mkdosfs first to specifiy FAT16, and then use Parted [21:07] !ext3 | Lasivian [21:07] Lasivian: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [21:07] Titan8990: because I need to install into a USB flash key and 8.10 has some strange problem which it will not boot and 8.04 does [21:08] eseven73, I removed via purge, but can't get the orginal conf's back =) [21:08] Flannel: errr...I dont know, whatever comes by default ? [21:08] bummer [21:08] barduck: With the server install CD? [21:08] barduck, alright, next question, 8.04 is the LTS release, does 8.10 offer a feature that your server must have? [21:08] mud i think you have to run the clean switch too, but im not sure. :) [21:08] Flannel: yeah [21:09] barduck: Try switching to the generic kernel (sudo apt-get install linux-generic, reboot, choose generic at grub) [21:09] Titan8990: nope, but 8.04 didn't detect my NIC (and niether the CD ROM) . It is a very new board [21:09] n8tuser2: :- [21:09] barduck, what board is it? [21:09] mud: purge samba-common, then reinstall samba [21:09] is everyone playing stacraft using wine in 8.10? if yes, do you have a sound dropout after 15 minutes? is the a solution? [21:09] Flannel, thanks =) [21:09] enovativ: then use parted for what? [21:09] n8tuser2: I tried what you said but "grub" gives me nothing [21:09] rblst: eh well the setting-manager is diffrent depending on you graphcard, but generally you should find somethn under System --> Preference [21:09] Enthralled: You may get better help on that particular issue in #winehq [21:09] Titan8990: Intel DG45FC . according to the liveCD, it uses the e1000e module for the NIC [21:10] mud: The reason for that is those config files are contained in teh samba-common package, so removing "samba" won't touch them [21:10] is ext3 superior to ntfs? [21:10] http://www.pastie.org/358178 [21:10] barduck, does lsmod | grep e1000e return anything? [21:10] Lasivian, i think so. [21:10] mud: (you can figure out what package something belongs to with dpkg -S /path/to/file) [21:10] Flannel: once again.. thank you =) [21:10] Titan8990 , Flannel chek it out http://www.pastie.org/358178 [21:10] how do I get python 2.6? [21:10] Flannel: that would explain the difference between the behavior between the LiveCD and my current server install ? [21:10] Juppalo: yes, sreen resolution, with no option of dual sreen [21:10] binarymutant: python.org [21:10] what kernel version is the newest 8.10 currently using? [21:11] Titan8990: no, but I can modprobe it and it loads but still no eth0 [21:11] Titan8990: 2.6.27 [21:11] hey guys can someone tell me is there in ubuntu file shredder [21:11] Flannel: I don't think you saw this previously, so I'll retype it. When I installed ubuntu with the normal install .iso, I was given a white screen when I hit "install ubuntu". So I used the alt, text only version, and that allowed me to install it. However, when I booted in, it threw a white screen up again - I can login and hear sounds and all that, but no video display. [21:11] if you have a iso file burned to disc, and the cd is the first thing to spin up, shouldnt it boot to cd? [21:11] or can i buy software? === Enthralled is now known as cynic [21:11] aaat, there are file shredder tools for linux. proberly some in the repos.. Fire Up synaptic and look. [21:11] why isn't python 2.6 in the repos out, of curiousity? [21:11] Flannel: Anyway you can at least point me in the right direction? You seem busy :P [21:11] gfather1: You're still using edgy (ubuntu 6.10), which hasn't been supported for almost a year now. You really should consider upgrading. [21:11] temoto-mobi: from what i read Parted was suggested to use to make a usb stick bootable [21:11] aaat, most likely you dont need to buy anything. [21:11] barduck, even if you do ifconfig -a ? [21:12] binarymutant: they have troubles making it compatible. In every other distro too. Even in gentoo. [21:12] !info shred [21:12] Package shred does not exist in intrepid [21:12] Flannel i see , thats the problem , i thought it was 7 [21:12] dr_wills is it safe to use? from repos? [21:12] !find shred [21:12] thanks temoto-mobi [21:12] File shred found in chuck, coreutils, kde-icons-crystal, kde-icons-crystalproject, kde-icons-gorilla (and 19 others) [21:12] i was on internet reading about it saying it's not good or can do damge [21:12] or something like that [21:12] dd works just as well as shred :) [21:12] BedPost: I saw it, yeah. What sort of graphics card do you have? (I'm horrible at graphics cards). You'll have to go to a tty (ctrl-alt-f1) and... well, fix it ;) Maybe reconfigure xorg after installing a driver package) [21:12] aaat, why would you not think the repos are safe? everything you allerady have installed is from the repos [21:12] gfather1: Actually, what does `lsb_release -a` tell you? [21:12] im looking to automate as much as my torrentdownloads as possible, is there a torrent client that does something like check a folder for .torrent files and add everything new i drop in there? [21:12] is us.archive.ubuntu.com generall slow? (~20KB/s) [21:12] enovativ: cfdisk can make something bootable. mk*fs is generally used after partitioning. [21:13] aaat, i cant comment on what youve read.. other then its wrong. [21:13] if you drop to command line during startup, what is the command to spin up the cd? [21:13] gfather1: You could potentially have edgy sources on some later version. [21:13] Titan8990: yep, eth0 isn't there, if I restart networking I get a bunch of errors with "no such device" [21:13] helo, in my experience, yes. I always switch to another mirror [21:13] so which one is the best dr_willis [21:13] running two HD, 1st one with windows, second with Ubuntu : where's it better to install the boot loader if I want to boot or Ubuntu or Windows. Previously my menu.lst looked like that : http://rafb.net/p/8Eijbk62.html [21:13] temoto-mobi: do i not have to create a partition...one for the boot area...and one for the data that i want to install ? [21:13] aaat, no idea. Most likely it depends. [21:13] enovativ: it never hurts to make partition bootable after creating fs on it though. [21:13] BedPost: The driver packages I'm speaking of would be the proprietary ones. But, I'm not really good with graphics drivers [21:13] enovativ: no, make one big partition. [21:13] So, I'm just downloading Ubuntu now (thought I would give it a try), when I install, will it be clean, and I'll lose my files? [21:13] Flannel: I have a radeon 4870 1gb. I was getting some help from my brother, and he told me to ctrl alt f1 also - that just killed all video. My monitor threw up a no video input signal. Got any idea where I can get some more help? Forums, maybe the x.org channel? (I'm very new to ubuntu) [21:14] barduck, try adding that module to /etc/modules and then rebooting [21:14] !info shred [21:14] Package shred does not exist in intrepid [21:14] temoto-mobi: thanks..so it was called ckfdos ? [21:14] Titan8990: lshw -c network shows the network UNCLAIMED [21:14] TheAdum: you'll have choice to either loose your files or to keep em. [21:14] shred - overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it [21:14] Titan8990: I will try that [21:14] jeez nvm Flannel i just forgot to add the netboot thing to my acl [21:14] enovativ: cfdisk [21:14] dr_willis: Shred is in coreutils, it's already installed. [21:14] thanks anyway [21:14] thanks Temoto [21:14] enovativ: like Clear Format Disk [21:14] temoto-mobi: thanks i will try cfdisk..i will be back to tell you what happens [21:14] Flannel, :) thats what i was trying to check. heh [21:14] BedPost: There are forums (ubuntuforums.org) and this channel can help (once someone who knows about that stuff wakes up). Your issue isn't really an install issue (since you've installed fine) [21:15] is there a program that will customize gnome panel? [21:15] enovativ: but this is not really the description. Just know that cfdisk is safer than fdisk. [21:15] BedPost: Just so you know what sort of problem to describe in the future ;) [21:15] tab1293, customize in what way? === N1ckR_ is now known as N1ckR [21:15] dr_willis: colors === oem is now known as zesss [21:15] tab1293: in the world of gnome, they have customized everything for you. [21:15] Flannel: You know who I should keep an eye out for? Also, thanks for the forum heads up. [21:16] temoto-mobi: ? (not really the desciption ? ) [21:16] temoto-mobi: what do you mean [21:16] enovativ: Clear Format Disk. This doesn't really stand for 'cfdisk' [21:16] temoto-mobi: oh ok thanks.... [21:16] sudo aptitude install hub [21:16] enovativ: maybe it's Clever or something even other. Forget it. [21:17] temoto-mobi: lol...thanks again...about to try it out [21:17] BedPost: Nah, it's best to just construct a decent, descriptive question, and repeat it every 30 minutes or so (while searching elsewhere at the same time)--full question will allow someone to peek in, and (potentially) answer it without any further input from you (since you can sometimes end up playing 'tag' with people), but make sure it all fits on one line. [21:17] Hello. I have a HOWTO on OpenVPN configuration to access my office. Though it is designed to be the one connection at all. I want to use openvpn to have more than one VPN connection. Is there like any kind of help like some general manual on configuring VPN clients? I'm not using gnome or something. [21:17] Flannel: Got it. Big thanks man. Have a good one. [21:18] hi all [21:19] Im having the hardest time, I was curious if someone could lend me their thoughts. I did a fresh install on an HP Pavillion dv6000 [21:19] it doesnt see any audio device [21:19] What I have found from google is http://affy.blogspot.com/2008/02/ubuntu-sound-not-working-on-hp.html [21:19] and the 4th step comes back with errors and I cannot go any further [21:20] Titan8990: That didn't help. I think the module loads fine but eth0 is still missing [21:21] Hi have a question. How do i watch television in Ubuntu, what palyer is the best etc? [21:21] cojo if you mean DVBT you could use mythtv or kaffeine [21:22] which do you prefer? [21:22] they are also useable for other TV formats I guess. [21:22] hm mythtv was quite nice. [21:22] The scanning was better. [21:22] i mean dvbt [21:22] I'm having a freezing problem in ubuntu. When I save a *new* file, or remove a file, in certain directories (most common one is desktop), it freezes for a free seconds. During this freeze time, I can change workspace but the Window List doesn't update. I've ran fsck and it didn't fix it [21:22] Yes... I used it with DVBT [21:22] Ok is it hard to configure? [21:23] guys i have a freakin problem , when i go to places then computer i got this error , Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations. [21:23] no.. if your stick works well... its very simple to get all programs [21:23] temoto mobi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91249 That? or something more? [21:23] Ok thanks alot [21:25] How do I configure Synaptic to only show Gnome and not KDE stuff? [21:26] uys i have a freakin problem , when i go to places then computer i got this error , Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations. [21:27] Abed, see if the problem also affects other users. or make a new user and see if it affects them also. [21:28] dr_willis ok i will be back in few minutes === oem is now known as zesss [21:29] Abed: Try opening the folder via the terminal. So in a terminal type "nautilus /home/Abed" or whatever your user name is. [21:29] Abed: That might give more usful information about what is going wrong. [21:29] hi all. how can i add something to my PATH ? [21:30] apimpl, the .bashrc and or .bash_profile have settings for the users PATH [21:30] aOarthurOo i tried and it worked and i viewed the desktop , documents and etc but when i hit computer i have the same problem [21:30] apimpl, export PATH=$PATH:/new/path/to/add/to/the/end [21:30] Hello, how can I put my xchat timestamp in hh:mm format?

[21:31] PsWii60, check the /set command ies defaulted to stamp_log_format.............: %b %d %H:%M:%S so try %h instead of %H [21:31] Hi [21:31] Is there any news about whether the 9.04 come with a new official theme or not? [21:31] Abed, bash basics.. You really shoudl read some bash beginner guides.. and its $PATH because thats the default path your shell searches === ebrink is now known as Trenter [21:32] thnx dr_willis [21:32] Abed, export sets the variable for all child processes. Otherwise its just the current shell. [21:32] what port do i access webhttrack on? [21:32] Abed, CASE is VERY Imporntatn in Linux. :) [21:32] i am trying to write a script and in the script i need a way to read a specified line out of another file to standard output, the file to be read from is a list of dates. Is there a command or an option on a command that I can do this with? [21:32] Abed: Not sure what you mean by "hit computer". Nautilus is working ok, we established that with the test opening from terminal. [21:33] dr_willis: It now looks like this "Jan:01: [21:33] time stamp format: %h:%m: [21:33] I'm trying to setup a private directory in my ~ using ecryptfs but I'm getting an error that I can't figure out... [21:33] PsWii60, Time to figure out what all those Time Codes Mean. I forget where ive seen them documented. %m may be MIONTH [21:33] Error mounting eCryptfs; rc = [-2]; strerr = [No such file or directory]. Check your system logs; visit . [21:33] oOarthurOo when i goto places -> Computer i have this error Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations. [21:33] Abed: If there is a computer icon on your desktop, right-click on it and check out it's properties. Chances are it is trying to do something stupid. [21:33] Abed: I understand now. [21:34] so oOarthurOo [21:34] ? [21:34] the computer:\\\ location seems messed up eh. [21:34] or is it computer:// [21:34] so how can i fix it? [21:34] need help with grub. I guess I broke everything [21:34] Abed: First thing I'd try is removing that from your gnome toolbar. Then re-adding it. [21:34] dr_willis this is the title Could not display "computer:". [21:34] Abed, if it works for a newly made user. that would imply that its a user setting thats messed up. one over-kill fix - would be to reset all the gnome settings.. IF thats the case [21:35] another question, how can I make it so when I double click a persons nick, a dialog box appears dr_willis ? [21:35] Does anyone know if the current Ubuntu package comes with a program to upload files via ftp? [21:35] PsWii60, no idea. I would suggest using the Xchat HELP menus.. its a very well documented IRC client [21:35] Thanks [21:35] anyone? [21:37] dr_willis before i create a new user wanna ask u how to edit the places menu [21:37] Abed, in the file manager, the panel on the left side.. add/remove stuff to it via drag/drop or right click/delete [21:38] temoto-mobi: i couldn't use cfdisk..not even as root [21:38] where can I get gutsy for an i686 or i386 architecture [21:38] temoto-mobi: cfdisk said i didn't have permissions [21:38] one last dump question . a file manager? [21:38] I can't find gutsy here, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [21:39] how do i access webhttrack via my web browser? [21:40] can someone help me I can't seem to figure out fsck to check and repair my hard disk :( [21:40] hello [21:40] I'm currently on a live cd verison of ubuntu so the hard disk is currently unmounted [21:40] how are you? [21:41] ubuntu you want the drives unmounted if you are going to fsck them [21:41] dr_willis, they are currently unmounted [21:41] ubuntu sudo fsck /dev/devicename is the normal way to fsck a filesystem [21:41] !img [21:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about img [21:41] !fsck [21:41] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:41] dr_willis, how do I know what goes in the "devicename" spot? [21:42] ubuntu look at the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and decide what one needs it... [21:42] what port do i access webhttrack on to use it in firefox? [21:42] انا مستخدم جديد لنظام اوبنتو [21:43] What excellent package have the ability to create *.img ? [21:43] اريد التعرف على النظام اكثر [21:43] هل هناك من يتحدث العربية ليساعدنى؟ [21:43] everytime i try to eject the cd tray it says An application is preventing the volume 'UDF Volume' from being unmounted. although im %100 no applications using it. how can i force it out? [21:43] dr_willis, I got this message-- fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found -- is there something I need to install? [21:43] balrog__, i though it just cloned web sites to a local directory. you then access th files [21:44] ubuntu you really sould of mentioned its ntfs to begin with. :) I would STRONGLY advice using a windows machine to check ntfs filesystems. [21:44] dr_willis, I tried but it wouldn't pick up the hard disk where ubuntu will pick it up [21:44] everytime i try to eject the cd tray it says An application is preventing the volume 'UDF Volume' from being unmounted. although im %100 no applications using it. how can i force it out? [21:44] if a mount is read-only how do i change the permissions on that mount ? i am trying to write to my usb drive (media/disk) using cfdisk, but cfdisk tells me that it is "read-only" [21:44] is there a way to change the permissions on the mount point \media\disk ?

If windows is not even seeing it.. well.. thats a very very bad sign. [21:46] where can I find the binary packages for Gutsy Gibbon for an i686 or i386 architecture? [21:46] dr_willis, hmm ok [21:46] everytime i try to eject the cd tray it says An application is preventing the volume 'UDF Volume' from being unmounted. although im %100 no applications using it. how can i force it out? [21:47] dr_willis, well the windows xp recovery recognizes it but the windows vista disk doesn't (the OS btw is: vista home prem) [21:48] Itaku: sudo fuser -vki /media/cdrom [21:48] jtaji, didnt do anything [21:48] I'll take your advice thanks! ;) have a good day [21:48] ubuntu i woud strongly suggest then tyat you access the files you really value from linux if you can and archive them someplace safe. The data may not be recoveravle in a easy way. It may not be recoverable now.. Ive learned to be very cautious with ntfs filesystems [21:49] anyone run wow under wine? i get a error 134 crash after the game loads to enter game [21:49] hi [21:49] dr_willis i don't find computer icon on the left side on the file managed [21:50] im trying to get a smart card reader to work in unbuntu [21:50] dr_willis, i can see all the files and copy... I'm doing this now - seems the ubuntu filesystem is fine but the windows one is not. I think the hdd is going bad though because it makes clicking sounds every now and then. [21:50] i just loaded vls using the apt-get, but I cant seem to find or run it [21:50] if I can't find Gutsy Gibbon here to update from 7.04, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/, where do I go to get it? [21:50] hello parceltounge you have an acer aspire one ? [21:50] er.. no i don't [21:50] why do you ask [21:50] ubuntu clicking hard drive = VERY bad sign. :) i hope you are backing stuff up to some different hard drive/location. [21:50] yes ;) [21:51] card reader will not work for acer one [21:51] Clicking hard drive is a sign of a hardware failure. Back up your data immediately! [21:51] Bax: gutsy is still supported, it wouldn't be in old-releases [21:51] Abed, ive no idea then.. perhaos it not changeable from there. [21:51] its an RFID card scanner [21:51] LOL good luck.

I have problem with flimmering screen on my TV when using s-video output. I using TwinView inside nvidia-settings and it sends 60Hz to my TV. I believe this is because my laptops lcd is using 60hz? It's using the same refresh rate? Can I make the tv output to be 50Hz in some way? I have a 100hz tv. [21:51] ok dr_willis i made a new user but i yet have the same problem [21:52] dr_willis i know i bothered u [21:52] http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ [21:52] its PCSC lite [21:52] I need to install [21:52] hola a todos [21:53] i just loaded vls using the apt-get, but I cant seem to find or run it. [21:53] Abed, if its affecting EVERY user. even new ones.. then it sounds like some system wide setting/config/service issue. Im not sure where to begin to trouble shoot that. You may want to check the forums [21:53] jrib: yeah that link is great, but it doesn't solve this error message, http://paste.ubuntu.com/103631/ [21:53] have just installed ubuntu 8.1 - would like to get desktop graphic effects working. is it necessary to install the proprietary ATI drivers?

When I tried to install ubuntu of the normal .iso (32-bit), after I hit "install ubuntu" it threw up a white screen (no video, it seems). So, I downloaded the alt .iso, and installed the text only version - that worked fine, I was able to install. However, once I tried to boot into ubuntu, it threw up that white screen again. [21:59] Itaku: If you googlo something like "how to eject cd-rom from command line" you will probably get a result. I can't remember the command off the top of my head [21:59] I could still login (I was going by the sounds), but no matter what, no video. It seems that ubuntu doesn't play nice with my Sapphire Radeon 4870 1GB - anyone got any ideas? Unfortunately, I'm fairly new to ubuntu, so I'll probably need some more in depth answers. Thanks in advance! [21:59] Ryan_Delaney: There is no appearences option. [21:59] i did [21:59] it didnt work [21:59] Itaku: if no one knows the answer, no one can help you [21:59] ok, so no icon, then how do I RUN vls? when i type in vls it just says vls.config not found [22:00] did SpaceBass log out, he was helping me with the apple network [22:00] anyone familiar with preseed files? [22:00] Jams44: Sorry, System -> Preferences -> Appearance [22:00] Itaku: asking every 2 minutes doesn't make us suddenly learn the answer [22:00] ok jrib...I have my hard drive in two partitions, one of 9gig for / and the remaining 240Gig for /home. Today I try to install amule by downloading the source file, and I'm told that there is not enough room on the disk to save the file to /tmp/etcetcetc. My downloads should go direct to the desktop. Any ideas??? [22:00] Corpis, you may reallyr eally want to read the vls docs.. its not a trivial, click a few times and it works.. sort of application. [22:00] Itaku: Need more details. What didn't work? I'm sure there is a way [22:00] help, i add a new alias to ~/.bashrc and it was alias fixfuse='sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libfuse.so.2 /usr/local/lib/libfuse.so.2.old ; sudo ln -s /lib/libfuse.so.2.7.2 /usr/local/lib/libfuse.so.2' but when i run fixfuse it says command not found [22:00] well god damnit couldnt you just say "we dont know" instead of calling me out? [22:00] seriously [22:00] Itaku: Please don't be rude. We are trying to help.

[22:01] please [22:01] ahh. ok [22:01] this is just normal ubuntu [22:01] Itaku, so you want 1419 people to say 'i dont know' ? :) [22:01] yes [22:01] So I should be able to change the prefs of amule [22:01] Itaku: who can speak for all of 'we'? no one person in the channel knows whether or not anyone else knows the answer.

[22:02] can someone help me with apple server connecting, when I go to finder/go/servers and enter the ip and user pword it tells me the username or pword is wrong:( [22:02] Itaku: well that's not how irc works. Just be patient... [22:02] !who | peter_ [22:02] peter_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:02] Hi, Why is it that I cannot open System > Preferences > Main Menu ... any ideas ? [22:02] leejongwook: uncomment the appropriate lines in /etc/bash.bashrc and it will be enabled for all users [22:02] Itaku, umount does have a force option.. but last i used it to force out a cd - the cd drive was not useable untill i rebooted.

There's a hole for it [22:03] can someone help me with apple server connecting, when I go to finder/go/servers and enter the ip and user pword it tells me the username or pword is wrong:( [22:03] :) [22:03] Koordin: Sounds like you want to use cron [22:03] it doesnt work [22:03] How do I load a camera in USB mass storage mode?

[22:03] I finally have my webcam working (a fresh install of ubuntu hardy did it, dunno why it wasn't working from the beginning...), problem is : the image is very bad, is there some software to configure the webcams ?

[22:04] ryanCH: I guess not then :) [22:05] Ryan_Delaney: i did not really understand how to use this to launch a program at a precise date [22:05] Ryan_Delaney: should i use crontab ? [22:05] Itaku: also, a common issue is that people have a terminal cd'ed into a directory on the mounted cd [22:05] Hi, I have an LCD screen and I flipped it 90 degrees so it's "standing" instead of lying down. I went to Screen Resolution and flipped it 90 degrees there too so everything shows up as it should but now things draw on the screen really slow, and the text looks a bit fuzzy. Any idea why or how to fix it? [22:05] Koordin: crontab is used to schedule scripts to run at some repeatable pattern, say, once a week, or every hour [22:05] hi [22:06] jrib, i didnt though [22:06] ryanCH: Usually when one has problems getting settings to 'stick', its due to permission problems [22:06] hi i want to know: is ubuntu meant to be stable with applications it runs? [22:06] Ryan_Delaney: ok but how can i make a single shot for, let's say ... tomorrow morning [22:06] unless something like pidgin or xchat or opera is using it [22:06] markpee: sure [22:06] markpee: yes [22:06] ubuntus screwing up [22:06] markpee: Most applications in the repositories should be stable, but many apps you can download else where are in beta [22:06] Ryan_Delaney, what should i try>? [22:06] Koordin: Like an alarm clock? :) [22:06] Abed: open a new terminal [22:06] Ryan_Delaney: for instance :) [22:07] can someone help me with apple server connecting, when I go to finder/go/servers and enter the ip and user pword it tells me the username or pword is wrong:( [22:07] Im trying to convert my single disk install to a 2disk raid 1 setup folloing instructions here http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch however when i try to reboot into the raid volume it fails to an initramfs prompt and also fails when trying to boot to the original volume... i believe that the update-initramfs -u command screwed it up but im not sure how to repair this [22:07] markpee, it's not made to be unstable. If stability is very important stick to the LTS releases of Ubuntu or Debian Stable. [22:07] How do I load a camera in USB mass storage mode? [22:07] Koordin: You can use the 'sleep' command to execute a command after a certain amount of time from now [22:07] peter_: you definitely need to free up some space on /.

[22:08] it goes back in? [22:08] seriously? [22:08] Itaku: I honestly suspect that your CD-ROM is physically failing.

[22:10] persei: have you tried supergrub? [22:10] jrib: it worked once, ever since, it stopped working. I wish it was just a drag-and-drop usb, "camera" devices make everything more complicated. [22:10] there i swipped the cd out [22:10] zErOaCid: run 'alacarte' in a terminal [22:10] I want to install grub as I asked when installing ubuntu not to install it. [22:10] does ubuntu not let the cd out when its installed too? [22:11] thanks jrib [22:11] I cannot connect to APF, every time it tells me wrong username or pword [22:11] BedPost: you'll probably need to boot into safe mode to install whatever drivers are needed for your graphics card, or to change your Xorg configuration [22:11] !grub > persei [22:11] persei, please see my private message [22:11] I have 2 hd, one with Windows, one with ubuntu. I want to boot or widows or ubuntu. when I ran fedora, I had the following menu.lst file : http://rafb.net/p/8Eijbk62.html [22:11] er AFP [22:12] BedPost, boot to a non graphical interface login and type> less /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for a line that says Driver under Section "Device" [22:12] persei: the supergrub live CD automates a lot of that for you [22:12] when I tried uninstalling synaptic via evolution, synaptic, for some reason, removed my gnome panel and a bunch of other stuff. I got the panel back, but the fast-user switch thing in intrepid is missing...any ideas how to get it back? [22:12] sorry, I meant when I tried uninstalling evolution via synaptic [22:13] thanks Ryan_Delaney that's what i was looking for [22:13] Koordin: My pleasure :) [22:13] Koordin: 'at' is probably what you want [22:14] is there a gpu monitoring software available for ati cards? [22:14] lu6cifer: AFAIK evolution is deeply integrated with the ubuntu desktop and it is not recommended to uninstall it. [22:14] ok [22:15] thanks jrib [22:16] jrib, can you help please? [22:16] LetsGo67: what camera model? [22:17] jrib: Kodak EasyShare C340 [22:17] That's one problem solved, thanks to jrib and Ryan-Delaney. Thanks guys. [22:18] I accidentally suspended a job ... [22:18] how do I get it back [22:18] I have an NVIDIA 8600m GT (a laptop card) and I'm using the restricted drivers. Sometimes the fan just revs up and stays there until I restart. However, the card's temps are like ~60*C. Any thoughts? [22:18] or kill it? [22:18] peter_: what happens when you plug it in now? [22:18] oxeimo1: fg, or use kill [22:18] oh nice [22:18] thanks [22:18] Hmmm... Does God grant responses in the kdenlive forum? lol [22:18] Moguri: Your bios usually regulates fan speed. check bios settings [22:18] i need a life [22:18] can i borrow one? [22:19] erflynn: Isn't it called Linux? [22:19] Leenux [22:19] VideoSmith, oh yeah! :P [22:19] Here's another one. 2 sata drives in external usb housings have died within 2 months of each other. They were both used as backups (some backup!) Now its ompossible to get any info from them, or format with gparted or windows. Suspiciously, they both RATTLE!!!! [22:19] Ryan_Delaney: Wouldn't that also mean that Windows would be having similar issues. And it doesn't rev up when I start Ubuntu. [22:20] Ryan_Delaney, i have trouble that common applications like Firefox and Amarok frequently freeze / crash [22:20] is there a gpu monitoring software available for ati cards? [22:20] At least I think it's my graphics card. My hdd and proc are in different spots... [22:20] for temperatures [22:20] How do I check a memo in xchat? [22:20] how can i setup dual screen in ibex with an intel card? [22:20] erica647: /msg memoserv help [22:21] thanks [22:21] guys i installed a glib library so how can i uninstall it? [22:21] Abed: you probably want glib... [22:21] jrib it causes the problem i have just told u about [22:21] Moguri: how did you see the temperature of the video card? [22:21] how can i setup dual screen in intrepid with an intel card? [22:22] tekster: Through some control panel that was installed with the drivers. [22:22] Abed: what package are you talking about exactly? And how did you determine it causes your problem? What problem exactly? [22:22] tekster: But I can't find fan settings there. [22:22] peter_: try making an image of the drive and use a data carving util to grab files? [22:22] oo ok, i have an ati card anyways and trying to figure out how to see the temps [22:22] Running tcpdump on my desktop computer (intrepid) and calling gethostbyname, I see DNS traffic. On my NATed laptop (hardy) , when I do the same thing, I don't see any DNS traffic (in fact, I don't see any traffic at all) [22:22] GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 ? ? [22:22] Why might that be? [22:23] i can't open omputer or automounting, i 've just a thread on launchpad and i recently installed glib and one of the solvers had the same issue but when he removed glib it went away [22:23] <_wendy_> i have an HP dv6258se and using live cd, its not detecting my wireless [22:23] iluminator101: well, you need to add a GPG key from the looks of it. [22:23] How to add new shapes to Dia???? I downloaded a compressed file that contains the shapes but i dunno how to add them to Dia. Please help [22:23] tekster, here is a good post about watching fan speeds and temp control http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 [22:23] <_wendy_> anyway to see which wireless is working [22:23] How do i add public key [22:24] how can i setup dual screen in intrepid with an intel card? [22:24] iluminator101: if yuou manually added a repository, it should have had instructions there to do it. [22:24] _wendy_: do you know what wireless device you have? [22:24] Sylphid: thanks lemme look at it [22:24] tekster, you may want to look into gkrellm for monitoring as well [22:25] Hi. I am wondering if anyone has some ideas of things that I should check out. Ever since one of the CUPS updates about 3 weeks ago (I'm not sure which one unfortunately) I have been having a lot of problems printing. Even printing to a file takes a really long time and uses tons of processor. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CUPS. Someone suggested that I drop evince back to a previous version (I don't know why) but that didn't help. Any known con [22:25] flicts that I should check out? Sorry this is so vague. === Saida is now known as Danny [22:25] <_wendy_> IndyGunFreak: i could find out [22:26] malacosteus: obvious question, but have you tried dropping back to an old CUPS? [22:26] _wendy_: open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter, and see ho it identifies your wireless device. [22:26] Sylphid: ok thanks, the link seems more towards the cpu fan where i need the gfx (ati), ill look into gkrellm as well, ty [22:26] tekster, that link has info on all fans in the system [22:27] oo ok [22:27] tekster, lm-sensors and fancontrol are the tools you would need to control fan speeds manually [22:27] how can i setup dual screen in intrepid with an intel card? [22:27] <_wendy_> IndyGunFreak: i see alot of things in there, what exactly i look for? [22:28] Where could I find the latest NVIDIA drivers? [22:28] !pastebin | _wendy_ pastebin your lspci, then give me the link [22:28] _wendy_ pastebin your lspci, then give me the link: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:28] <_wendy_> the problem is not this pc lol [22:28] My VLC can't show the controller in the full screen mode [22:28] <_wendy_> IndyGunFreak: the problem is not this pc lol [22:28] _wendy_: oh ok. [22:28] Oh wait, I found a spot [22:28] can anybody help me please === five_ is now known as Guest72983 [22:28] _wendy_: look for something that has 802.11g wireless device, or something like that [22:29] does anyone know how can i setup dual screen in intrepid with an intel card? [22:29] superhero: has always done the same to me. I assume it's a feature ;-) [22:29] guys i know i asked too much questions,but i can't find my /usr/local folder [22:29] hey all [22:29] any ideas?? [22:29] superhero: smplayer or kaffeine show it [22:30] _wendy_: it might look soething like this... 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [22:30] jjlee: I search for the solution in the web [22:30] superhero: there is a checkbox in interface settings [22:30] Should I remove my current NVIDIA drivers that I got through the restricted drivers before trying to install new ones from NVIDIA's site? [22:30] superhero: though different media players seem to be buggy in different respects, especially wrt playing DVDs [22:30] jjlee: and I found that I must delete the application data file for VLC [22:31] If anyone can help me: I cancelled the update manager half way through, and now cannot access any synaptic packages. I get multiple errors. including dkpg. Could anyone 'PM' me and help me? Many thanks. [22:31] superhero: and that worked? [22:31] does anyone know how i could set up dual monitor in intrepid with an intel card? [22:31] jjlee: many people in the forum said that its the right solution [22:31] superhero: meaning, it didn't work? [22:31] rblst: Can an Intel card support dual monitor? o.O [22:31] <_wendy_> IndyGunFreak: i got it, broadcom corporationbcm4311 802.etc [22:31] so one here know... where I can find some Usplash for GNOME? (Not gnome-look.org pleases) [22:31] jjlee: but I don't know till now where I can find the application data file ;) [22:31] !broadcom | _wendy_ [22:31] _wendy_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [22:32] malacosteus: have you looked through the CUPS error log? [22:32] jjlee: I didn't try it till now [22:32] Moguri: sure, i had it working some releases back [22:32] jjlee: are you know where I can find the VLC application data file??? [22:33] superhero: what do you mean by "VLC application data file"? [22:33] Who here has had trouble with there wireless card after installing ubuntu? [22:33] jjlee: its a file contain the user configuration [22:33] If anyone can help me: I cancelled the update manager half way through, and now cannot access any synaptic packages. I get multiple errors. including dkpg. Could anyone 'PM' me and help me? Many thanks. [22:33] jjlee: like in windows "c:\documents and settings\user\application data\vlc" [22:34] jjlee: but in ubuntu I was unable to find it [22:34] <_wendy_> IndyGunFreak: uhm this is weird bro, im running livecd how am i supposed to know what to do? [22:34] superhero, try .vlc in the users home directory [22:34] jjlee: I will try to find the link for u [22:34] _wendy_: getting the broadcom wireless to work on a live CD, is probably not going to be successful. [22:34] you'll have to install. [22:34] Who here has an Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter for there internet card [22:35] do i use the amd64 iso for intel64 machines? [22:35] <_wendy_> so maybe i have to install? you think that will detect it? [22:35] meloco, what is the error exactly [22:35] inertial, you can. But you can also use the 32bit release... [22:35] whoa, 180.22 seems to work great. [22:35] superhero: sorry, I don't know. You could always create a throwaway user, run find, run vlc, run find again, then diff the find outputs [22:35] jjlee: I search for a similar one but I can't find it [22:35] Danny: is that the one that gets misdetected as an ar242x? [22:35] just some minor "offscreen" handling problems. [22:35] superhero: or use strace [22:35] other than that, my recommendations so far ;-) [22:35] if a project is free, how can the coders be motivated to write quality code? is that nto the classic problem of incentive/communism/socialism"? [22:35] why dose my programs allways crash ?? [22:35] where is the competitive ness and drive? [22:35] give me a break [22:35] Ya it is I have that problem [22:36] superhero: no, nothing obvious in my home dir either [22:36] MyName, the better code they write, the faster/sooner they will be recognized by people with money. [22:36] Danny: how does lspci identify your wireless device" [22:36] MyName, therefore, they will be given money for doing what they already are doing. [22:36] jjlee: I notice that [22:36] sylphid: it was to fix broken packages [22:36] I found the error. Sun java install [22:36] MyName, hint, IBM, DELL, RedHat, [22:36] well that's nto big enough of an incentive compared to the better code the chance for direct promotiona nd more pay [22:36] jjlee: strace is a search engine software for linux?? [22:36] ispci? Sorry im new to Ubuntu well linux in general [22:36] why go about this circuitous route? [22:36] does anyone know how i could set up dual monitor in intrepid with an intel card? [22:36] superhero, i got .vlc in my users home dir. /home/USERNAME/.vlc but im not sure what your actual prlblem is [22:36] Now I am trying to "repair broken files" [22:36] MyName, come to think about it, that route seems a lot more decent. [22:36] superhero: if you don't know what strace is, you probably don't want to ;-) [22:37] it seems to be downloading and installing [22:37] MyName, it's the usual dangling carrot on a stick, ust the other way [22:37] is that nto the fundamental reason this community is being smashed to bits by intel/microsoft/apple ? [22:37] i had to do "dpkg --configure -a" [22:37] no progress after all these years [22:37] you get the stick first, then the carrot. [22:37] :-) [22:37] losers? [22:37] Danny: opena terminal (application/accessories/terminal) type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and look for the line that describes your wireless device, see if ti says this... 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [22:37] MyName, what community lol ? [22:37] the open source community [22:37] I don't feel smashed. [22:37] I think you're off your knocker. [22:37] ?join #ubuntu-fr [22:37] hi, having trouble syncing my palm [22:37] what is ubuntu's market share on the home desktop space? compared to widows and apples? [22:37] come on [22:38] do you dare to tell me ? [22:38] Hi, how can i replace all specified text strings in all files of a directory and subdirectories ? [22:38] I don't know and I don't really care. [22:38] MyName, Intel is very supportive of the Open Souce. but You are goin in OT direction now. [22:38] jjlee: I am fresh linux user .... :P [22:38] I got what I can use :-) [22:38] and I'm happy :-) [22:38] imachine, of course you care. but u r too proud to admit it. [22:38] i can install files with coldsync, but gpilot-install-file has no effect, although it appears to succeed [22:38] :) [22:38] if it stays that way, I'm glad. [22:38] superhero: this FAQ says it lives in .vlc: http://www.videolan.org/doc/faq/en/videolan-faq-en.html === five_ is now known as Guest60458 [22:38] how do i change default boot back to windows from ubuntu ? [22:38] once things go pear shaped, I'll be searching for something new. [22:38] too pathetic. [22:38] superhero: so I guess sometimes it just chooses not to create it? [22:38] GPL makes the OS/Software like the road your cars run on.. just a given infrastructure that now everyone can use and not worry about. [22:39] How can I block a URL in Firefox Intrepid? [22:39] dr_willis, but no usable programs [22:39] ido--: its in boot/grub/menu.lst somewhere [22:39] IndyGunFreak - Do you half an msn im dual booting and my lan dosent work either so i half to keep switching back and forth [22:39] so, are there any linux or kubuntu centric web radio stations out there? [22:39] but the good thing is, since this is not money driven, market changes and other cash shortages are rather unlikely to cause any changes to the way things are. [22:39] er (k)ubuntu centric, even [22:39] windows, apple, .net, java, photoshop, acrobat, all these programs. whichi s open source? [22:39] none [22:39] so I can sleep tight, with a neat future ahead. [22:39] and can you anme their open source equivalent? [22:39] come on [22:39] admit it. [22:39] MyName, also, what the f* do you care? [22:39] MyName: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:39] do you even use ubuntu? [22:39] Danny: yes, i'm indygunfreak on msn [22:39] imachine, no. [22:39] if you don't, what's your sorry arse doing here :-) [22:39] flame somewhere else. [22:40] i'm trying to connect to my GPS bluetooth device, but when I try to connect to it, i get "failed to connect to bluetooth device"... any ideas/ [22:40] MyName, comptuers are tools - like my woodshop. I have the tools i need Under Linux. And i find more and more Opensorce software being used under windows.. so I would have to say the reverse of your rant is true. [22:40] to express sympathy to your guys. [22:40] PROTIP: Take the banter to #ubuntu-offtopic [22:40] myName: Java is open source [22:40] MyName, that's not sympathy, that's flame. [22:40] dr_willis, that's your self-consolation. [22:40] jjlee: I will try to creat it [22:40] sympathy would be "what can I do, where can I join to help" [22:40] miranda_psi, not really. [22:40] MyName, same as yours.. so both are pointless. have a nice day [22:40] this, this is bs. [22:40] luckily, I have better things to do than join 14year old style flames on irc. [22:40] convince me to use ubunto over windows or apple? [22:40] I'm past that stage :-) [22:40] ok i got to checking the ubuntu archive mirror part but now it hangs [22:40] how can you sell that to me ? [22:41] MyName: how is it not open source? I can go download the source code right now if I wanted to... [22:41] MyName, I'm not a salesman [22:41] lates. [22:41] MyName, i dont want to bother, and you dont want to be convinced. So have a nice day [22:41] it's better :P [22:41] i want to be convinced. [22:41] but i am afraid you cannot can you ? [22:41] therein lies your fundamental problem [22:41] it doesn't even matter [22:41] no [22:41] you know [22:41] lack of convincing argument for others to switch. [22:41] Hola! [22:41] phttttt [22:41] let me tell you the fundamental problem [22:41] the fundamental problem is your brain is malfunctioning and nobody here can fix it [22:41] theres no fundamental need to make others switch. they use what they want.. we dont care. [22:42] no need to insult. === binger is now known as kaimerra [22:42] jjlee: I can't find it to choose [22:42] my Bluetooth GPS device manual says that on my laptop i should enter the passcode "0000", but when I try to connect it never asks for a passcode [22:42] we are having a serious conversation. [22:42] im not insulting [22:42] im serious [22:42] im not even an ubuntu user [22:42] but youre just a dumbass [22:42] dr_willis, then why say it's better? why be a fanboy? [22:42] I recently switched to ubuntu, love it [22:42] MyName, wny say its worse.. wny be a anti-fanboy. [22:42] why not just stay quiet and not have yourself seen? [22:42] now [22:42] When installing drivers off of the NVIDIA site, should I uninstall the ones I got from Ubuntu first? [22:42] jjlee: what about try to reinstall it [22:42] MyName: here are a couple of simple facts for you: 1. The Chinese givernment supports its own versions of linux - Red Flag. 2. The Vietamese government is moving ALL its servers to linux and at least 70% of its main apps to open source [22:42] ceastwood: It sure beats XP. [22:42] this is the wrong channel for this argument. [22:43] miranda_psi, and look what these 2 gov'ts are. oh that's right, communist. [22:43] Moguri, why do you want source-based drivers from nvidia's site? [22:43] anyone heree familiar with VirtualBox? After fooling with VMWare server 2 for hours, I find it 10x easier [22:43] great evidence. [22:43] hah. [22:43] * dr_willis is waiting for Service Pack 1 for Ubuntu [22:43] jjlee: starting with uninstall it paramently [22:43] Moguri, -180 is available on intrepid. [22:43] Moguri, I'm running it right now. [22:43] jjlee: to reset the configuration [22:43] can someone tell me how i can debug the checking the ubuntu archive mirror if i make a netboot with preseed? [22:43] MyName: do you honestly think that free software is communist? [22:43] imachine: Oh, goes and looks [22:43] 180.11 to be precise :) [22:43] is it not? [22:43] * VideoSmith is considering grabbing popcorn to watch the talks. [22:43] definitely is [22:43] Moguri, you can't get it through the driver applet thingy. [22:43] how do i reinstall grub ? [22:43] as a communist a sentence you to death [22:43] I always considered how MS dictated everything - was more communist. [22:43] it is against the princples of free market capitalism [22:43] after changing menu.lst ? [22:44] lol [22:44] MyName: wow. http://techdirt.com/articles/20081121/0323212915.shtml [22:44] * VideoSmith is wondering how something controlled by a nonprofit nongovernment organization of people can be considered communist. [22:44] ok, i am going to dinner. no time to continue thsi conversation. [22:44] Moguri, you need to apt-get install nvidia-180-modaliases [22:44] ido--: you shouldn't have to reinstall grub. [22:44] oh [22:44] Moguri, then it just goes on :-) [22:44] ok, wasn't aware of that [22:44] anyway, reflect it yoruself. [22:44] too bad :( [22:44] stay please [22:44] has anyone successfully mounted Windows Beta 7 in VirtualBox? [22:44] Moguri, it should replace -177 [22:44] Moguri, expect some breakage :-) [22:45] ceastwood no im going to partition and install it seperately to try it [22:45] :P [22:45] does anyone know how i could set up dual monitor in intrepid with an intel card? [22:45] *chuckles* I didn't think anything was against the ideas of free market capitalism. If you want to make a product and give it away for free, if it's a free market, then you can. [22:45] imachine: What kind of breakage? [22:45] Moguri, some say suspend is busted. [22:45] Moguri, works for me. [22:45] So I'm trying to install this theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/willibex?content=86844 and I've never installed a theme in my life. How do I go about doing this? [22:45] Moguri, I had some funny screen issue, where half an inch of my screen wrapped about itself. [22:45] Taladan, i think of it as 'toll roads' (MS) vs 'public roads' (GPL) - [22:45] Taladan: yeah, how is the reversal of government granted monopolies (copyright) socialist? lol... [22:45] Moguri, switching to console and back helped. [22:45] dunno ;) [22:45] Okay, well, I guess I should restart now. [22:46] also, the driver applet thingy doesn't seem to handle 180 well ^^ [22:46] Moguri, did it install fine? [22:46] dkms etc? [22:46] actually being called a communist isnt such a bad thing [22:46] you need the -glx as well [22:46] Moguri, nvidia-180-glx [22:46] imachine: Well, I didn't get an error. [22:46] apt-get install that too ;) [22:46] considering all the dictators [22:46] dmca patent fcc etc. [22:46] timebomb: lol [22:46] seriously [22:47] think about it [22:47] he could use envy for nvidia drivers? [22:47] ceastwood, he could. [22:47] timebomb: Please take offtopic chatter elsewhere, thanks. [22:47] but the way I described it, went okay. [22:47] worked for me at least. [22:47] sans nvy ;) [22:47] imachine: Hmm....It can't find "nvidia-180-glx" [22:47] Well, when you fundamentally get down to it the ideal of 'free software' has nothing to do with a social or governmental outlook. It's an ideal of not charging for the tools, letting people use the tools to their advantage. The support though? If you want to charge for that as a company and people are willing to pay for it, then you're providing a service to the community worth whatever dollar amount you agree on...which is the [22:47] very idea of free market capitalism. [22:47] nvidia-glx-180 [22:47] soz ;] [22:47] Im still learning, so I installed VB so I can just revert to an old image if I break it instead of reinstalling [22:47] Oh [22:48] does anyone know how i could set up dual monitor in intrepid with an intel card? [22:48] * VideoSmith is wondering what communism has to do with a nonprofit nongovernment program for people who think Windows is monopolized expensive junk. [22:48] rblst, should *just work* sorta, shouldn't it ? [22:48] How do I upgrade from hardy to interpid? [22:49] !upgrade | energY_ [22:49] energY_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:49] :] [22:49] imachine: it doesn't seem to [22:49] hehe [22:49] VideoSmith: I was wondering that also [22:49] sorry [22:49] energY_: update-manager will prompt you for it if you go to software sources and tell it you want to upgrade every release (instead of LTS) [22:49] Is there an Intel card that can do dual monitors? [22:49] I got an nvidia card myself. [22:49] Im trying to convert my single disk install to a 2disk raid 1 setup folloing instructions here http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch however when i try to reboot into the raid volume it fails to an initramfs prompt and also fails when trying to boot to the original volume... i believe that the update-initramfs -u command screwed it up but im not sure how to repair this [22:49] Moguri: Yes [22:49] o.O [22:49] Flannel: I don't have a browser. As stupid as that migth sound... [22:49] Moguri, pretty much any intel card on a laptop. [22:49] Is KDE much faster then Gnome? [22:49] energY_: fair enough. Do you have a desktop machine or a server machine then? [22:49] Flannel: I need a command line command. [22:49] how can i fix this error? /.cedegaSISI/.global.delta needs to be readable. [22:49] mas2: slower [22:49] Moguri, and most newer intel cards (dvi/vga dual output) [22:50] Flannel: desktop [22:50] how do I md5sum a folder with subdirectories? md5sum doesnt seem to have -R [22:50] Moguri, actually, X4500 seems a fairly decent card. [22:50] energY_: oh okey. Is there any other desktop that is faster? less cpu and ram usage. [22:50] energY_: Why do you need a command line command then? [22:50] hi guys [22:50] hey guys [22:50] mas Xubuntu [22:50] LD_LIBRARY_PATH [22:50] Flannel: But I only see a bird, thats why I want interpid [22:50] mas2: fluxbox [22:50] My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is wrong [22:50] mas2, jwm + rox-filer = very minimal :) or try xubuntu [22:50] can you help me fix it? [22:50] parceltounge: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:50] Moguri, with intels proper linux support, I think the next card could be more than enough for most people, making nvidia/ati obsolete with their crappy opensource support ;P [22:50] Flannel: I can't get anything else than the bird to show. [22:50] i'm trying to set up the thinkfinger fingerprint reader on my computer, so i downloaded the folder, put it in the directory that the installer wanted me to, but i'm having problems when it comes to configuring, i get this error :travis@travis-laptop:/etc/pam_thinkfinger$ ./configure --with-securedir=/lib/security --with-birdir=/etc/pam_thinkfinger [22:50] bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [22:50] does anyone know, why k3b stops before verifing the burned cd? [22:50] Moguri, check out some youtube videos of gameplay with X4500 HD [22:51] Moguri, it's pretty impressive ;-) [22:51] /join catalyst [22:51] how can i fix this error? /.cedegaSISI/.global.delta needs to be readable. [22:51] Yeah, the x4k cards do look impressive. [22:51] energY_: Er... oh, just the desktop none of the panels, I see. Ok, well, ctrl-alt-f1, then log in, first thing to do is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. This will get you up to date with Hardy, which may actually fix your issues. [22:51] #vbox [22:51] zEr0aCid: can I use compiz effect such as scale, expose etc in fluxbox and use my apps that I run in gnome now? Or do I need to use applications that is built for fluxbox? [22:51] Okay, *now* time to restart :) [22:51] i dont get it [22:51] Flannel: are you familiar with netboot preseeding? [22:51] Grayvon: You should ask the cedega people for cedega support (we don't know about cedega, and also, isn't that what you paid them for?) [22:52] Grayvon: sudo chmod a+r /.cedegaSISI/.global.delta === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [22:52] rblst: have you looked at System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution? [22:52] LD_LIBRARY_PATH anyone know what im on about? [22:52] timebomb: Only marginally. [22:52] !repeat | parceltounge [22:52] parceltounge: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [22:52] balleyne: yes, i have, but how can i enable it there? [22:52] parceltounge: Also, you're not really asking a question. You may want to elaborate. [22:52] mas2, compiz is a window maanger,, fluxbox is a window manager.. its one or the other. :) eyecandy.. or speed.. [22:53] d0wn__, are you wanting a single md5sum of the directory and all of its contents or an md5sum for every file in the the directory [22:53] dr_willis: Ah I see. Then I will be stuck with gnome =) thanks for the clarification [22:53] mas2, if eyecandy meas that muich to you.. then yep.. stuck with gnome [22:54] Flannel: well it won't download the release file even though it does the dhcp. also checked routes and gateway and pinging archive.ubuntu and www.google.com works too, so i dont see why downloading the release file should make it hang [22:54] flannel I didn't pay for cedega. I thought it might just be a problems with file permissions or something [22:54] the eyecandy gets old quickly [22:54] rblst: I've only played around with it in passing, but I think the 'mirror screens' checkbox up top is relevant, and you should able to click and drag to move your two screens around and setup their relative orientation [22:54] rblst: e.g. you could uncheck 'mirror screens', put one beside the other, if you wanted to get a super wider dual setup... [22:55] timebomb: Can you successfully download the release file from another computer on the network? [22:55] anyone recommend a movie maker similar in function to the windows vista movie maker or better? [22:55] dr_willis: what I like about it the way it's now I have hot corners and in each corner I got an plugin such as scale, expose etc and 4 desktops with wall fucntion so I can drag apps to other desktops. [22:55] nevermind guys, i was being stupid, got it [22:55] imachine: Things seem to be working fine with the 180 drivers. [22:55] <_wendy_> if i have windows installed with 40 gigs free, i want to install ubuntu in 20 gigs of that, can i resize that partition? [22:55] imachine: Hopefully that will solve my fan issues :s [22:55] _wendy_: yes. Download gParted Live. [22:55] _wendy_, yes you can [22:55] balleyne: hmm, there is only one screen displayed with the caption Laptop [22:55] urrmmm [22:56] is anyone gonnna help me [22:56] or [22:56] not [22:56] ?????????? [22:56] markpee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:56] <_wendy_> but can i do it with the ¨manual¨ of the partitions? [22:56] Hi [22:56] well [22:56] i guess not [22:56] can anyone in thiis room help me [22:56] lol. [22:56] with this error [22:56] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/98691/ [22:56] How to install TWM in hardy? [22:56] _wendy_: how do you mean? [22:56] _wendy_, you will want to prepare the space before starting your install. [22:56] anyone recommend a movie maker similar in function to the windows vista movie maker or better? [22:57] rblst: ah, and the other doesn't show up when you hit detect displays? You may have to toggle the lcd setting or something... try Fn+F4 (or F7 or whatever the LCD is)... that should autodetect displays? [22:57] _wendy_: I used gParted Live a couple of days. Just burn the iso to an cd and then boot with it. Then you can create a partion from free space easily. [22:57] Flannel: works when i do it manually [22:57] ie not going through autoconfiguration [22:58] i need a package that i can import photos, sound and video editable to create say youtube vids. [22:58] What is the easiest way to include a couple of files (non-executables) into an initramfs image? [22:58] or rather... the "right" way [22:58] <_wendy_> i want to partitions / and /home, how much space is minimum for /? [22:58] timebomb: What are you doing with IE? Use FireFox lol. [22:58] wa? [22:58] _wendy_, 8gb is fine without too many extras [22:59] after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 (server), a cron-job that runs every 20 minutes seems to fail... anyone encountered this before? "/usr/share/sendmail/sendmail: 1248: /usr/sbin/sendmail-msp: not found" [22:59] _wendy_, dont forget about swap space [22:59] Moguri, great news! :-) [22:59] <_wendy_> is later i install more software, would that go in / or /home? [22:59] _wendy_: I have 6.3 GB in use now, and I'm running a web server and MySQL and a whole bunch of other things [22:59] how can I disable the auto play on external media (folders popping up) [22:59] VideoSmith: ie means for example [22:59] imachine: And the control panel seems to be working fine. [22:59] _wendy_: as default / [22:59] _wendy_, both, the actual program files go to / but your configuration goes in /home [22:59] when i do killall stalonetray && stalonetray, almost all of my icons in the tray dissappear even though they are still running, how can i solve this ? [22:59] balleyne: no nothing shows up if i press detect displays, pressing Fn+F5 doesn't make a any difference :( [22:59] kitche: Oh lol, mixing my terms. Long day. [23:00] <_wendy_> so 12gigs and rest i guess, harddrive is like 120gigs === yacc_ is now known as yacc [23:00] Maybe I should pay a little more attention to what has been said :P [23:00] Flannel: i found it nvm. was an error in my preseed :/ [23:00] Nevare_: that error is telling you it can't find the program 'sendmail-msp' in the /usr/sbin/ directory, make sure it's there and google to see if there are any special installation things you need to do to ensure its in there [23:00] what a waste of time [23:00] _wendy_: you want to make a swap partion too, double the size of the ram you have in your computer. [23:00] * GuruDrew seeks Amaranth [23:00] punzada: [23:00] <_wendy_> got it mas [23:00] <_wendy_> mas2: [23:00] punzada: yeah, I already googled for it, can't seem to find any quick solution. [23:00] when i do killall stalonetray && stalonetray, almost all of my icons in the tray dissappear even though they are still running, how can i solve this ? [23:00] i need a movie maker package that i can import photos, sound and video editable to create say youtube vids. can anyone suggest one. [23:01] I've upgraded quite a few servers lately, but this hasn't happened before [23:01] Nevare_: you can always use the find command to make sure that file is on your system at all (maybe in one of the other /bin/ directories) and copy it into the proper place [23:01] parceltounge: Do you have the libpcsclite-dev package installed? "sudo apt-get install libpcsclite-dev". [23:01] tj83: never used it myself but a friend of mine uses Kino. [23:02] when I run sdptool browse on my GPS device, it doesn't display anything... [23:02] rblst: hmm... well, I'm not sure exactly what to do (and I've gotta go), but I have a couple suggestions: (1) I find Ubuntu autodetects monitors well on boot, even if the Fn+LCD key isn't working -- a reboot could test that out, (2) I used to use i810switch to get Fn+LCD functionality working (sudo apt-get install i810switch), but I'm not sure if that's the "right" answer [23:02] tj83: Kino or cinelerra are the two standard movie things [23:02] tj83: I only imports dv files tho but it can easily be converted with Avidemux. Or at least it was before if I rember right. [23:02] when i do killall stalonetray && stalonetray, almost all of my icons in the tray dissappear even though they are still running, how can i solve this ? [23:03] punzada: Well, it aint there. [23:03] <_wendy_> how can i see the how much ram i have? [23:03] tj83: theres another big one [23:03] punzada: I run postfix as my MTA too. [23:03] As opposed to sendmail.

I keep attempting to look up the help for different programs and it says it can't access khelpcenter. Any thoughts? [23:04] _wendy_: as Sylphid said "free -m" in the terminal.

[23:08] <_wendy_> ok so i have a 120 gigs, i will make 3 partitions, /, /home, swap. / and /home will be primary? [23:08] cousteau: No. [23:08] Flannel, for someone a little experienced in linux i think it is an easy problem to solve [23:08] not even with the Alternate C? [23:08] thebloggu: That's all good and well, but that doesn't give you the right to spam the channel. [23:08] _wendy_: you don't have to make partion for /home, / and swap if you don't want to. You can let the Ubuntu setup make it for you. So you just set how much of your hdd you want to use. Could be better in your case. [23:08] CD?

(these are freechiv files i want to changse) [23:08] cousteau: Nope. You need to upgrade one release at a time. Only intrepid upgrades to jaunty (well, thats the only upgrade that's tested/provided for) [23:08] Flannel, sorry but i am here for minutes and no one tries to help [23:09] any people using AFP to share betweein mac and ubuntu? [23:09] ok, thanks [23:09] _wendy_: yeah that is true. [23:09] I guess there is no postgresql 7.4 package for 8.04 ? I guess I have to install it from source? [23:09] <_wendy_> so both primary mas2? [23:09] This is my second attempt, day two of switching to Ubuntu and I still can't get it to install. Progress bar hangs up less than a quarter of the way there.

[23:09] but personally im guessing no [23:10] _wendy_: I'm not 100% sure about that so ask the folks in the channel about this one. sorry [23:10] dentid4hed, have you tried the alternate cd [23:10] does anyone know if it's possible to back up ktorrent? [23:10] baldur do you have the root password? [23:10] Alternate cd? [23:10] I downloaded 8.10 and burned it to a cd. [23:10] baldur: use chmod.... [23:10] baldur: What are you trying to change? [23:10] dentid4hed: maybe the ISO didn't download well; try the Torrent downloads [23:11] !chmod > baldur [23:11] baldur, please see my private message [23:11] it there any way to add a resolution to my xorg.conf without editing in manualy? I use the fgrlx driver. Is it possible with an ati command? [23:11] I used two separate ISO's. Two different cd's from two different computers. Both cd's hang up in the same place. It's my computer. [23:11] malacosteus: zc00gii Flannel i allredy did sudo passwd to make the root password [23:11] baldur: Don't do that. There's absolutely no reason to set a root password. [23:11] baldur: chmod will only work if you have the root or sudo password [23:11] dentid4hed: or its how you're burning them. [23:11] baldur: Also, you likely won't need to chmod either. What are you trying to do to those files? [23:12] In case one, I used CDBurnerXP and the other I used MagicISO [23:12] baldur: unless you own the file [23:12] anyone know anything about the history with Israeal & Plaestine [23:12] dentid4hed, the alt cd is a cli based installer usefull if the regular cd fails [23:12] Flannel: i wanna changse the game config and i cant since i am not the owner of the files [23:12] baldur: like the files in/home/ [23:12] baldur: okay so then you can use chmod 777 filpath [23:12] markpee: Please take offtopic chatter elsewhere. [23:12] dentid4hed, at what point does it fail [23:12] malacosteus: Please don't give wrong advice. [23:12] could someone take a quick look at this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036640 it's about adding resolution for my external monitor. [23:13] baldur: sudo chmod 777 /path/to/game/config [23:13] malacosteus: okei [23:13] later [23:13] baldur: You'll use sudo with the command to edit the files: `gksu gedit /path/to/file` for instance (or sudo nano /path/to/config) [23:13] uh, got through installing the thinkfinger alright, i'm having problems integrating it into PAM now [23:13] zc00gii: Please don't give wrong advice. [23:13] baldur: *dont* chmod [23:13] flannel: what would you suggest [23:13] Flannel: before he said he wanted to change the permissions.... [23:13] travis_: read the README.Debian file, it gives you like three commands that do it automagically. [23:13] the walkthrough said to modify /etc/pam.d/common-auth, which i think is the issue, because i am able to properly verify my user in the thinkfinger utility [23:14] zc00gii, malacosteus: changing the permissions isn't what he wants to do. He merely wants to edit it: start a text editor with sudo. [23:14] Flannel: where is that located [23:15] travis_: /usr/share/doc/libpam-thinkfinger/README.Debian [23:15] flannel: he had said he wanted to change permissions. [23:15] Flannel: thanks [23:15] hello people, could someone please explain to me the following commands in more details and more importantly why i need todo them before i "chroot" a partition???? i have already looked online and run "man mount" but i am still a lil confused "mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc" and "mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev" [23:15] Flannel: do youuse the AFP to share between mac and ubuntu? [23:15] malacosteus: Right, but that's not what he actually wants to do. He wants to change the configuration. [23:15] Flannel: so i should type in "sudo nano /path/to/config/file [23:15] malacosteus: no he didn't [23:15] * zc00gii facepalms [23:16] baldur: Yes. And also, do `sudo passwd -l root` (to re-lock the root account) [23:16] I need to know how to assign folders for sharing with AFP [23:16] baldur: that'll give you a nano window (text editor for the terminal) with the config file. If you want to use a graphical editor, alt-f2 then gksu gedit /path/to/config/file [23:17] Flannel: sudo nano /usr/share/games/freeciv/nations afghani.ruleset [23:17] <--- this is the command i did and i got an eamty file [23:17] baldur: Does the filename actually have a space in it? [23:18] Flannel: it has a . in the middle [23:18] baldur: Right, but what about "nations afghani.ruleset"? [23:18] Flannel: nations is a folder [23:18] baldur: Case matters. And also, you can use tab complete to help out. [23:19] Flannel: ahh worked [23:20] can ANYBODY help me with apple sharing, between ubuntu and apple, I did set up all the apf stuff, I am able to see home from my macbook, but in ubuntu I can only seem to pic which files to share over the windows network [23:20] Flannel: it worked thanks [23:20] anyone good at initramfs stuff? [23:20] whois romgo [23:21] Flannel: i wanna learn more about and how to use the terminal to do my biddings what do you recomend i do for practice and such ? [23:21] !cli | baldur [23:21] baldur: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[23:22] lolwut: I have never done it before, but I would guess that you would need to configure samba on both ubuntu and the mac [23:24] does anyone here know the syntax highlighting for gedit works? [23:25] hello [23:25] outofthemadness: yeah, i think it depends on the files your looking at [23:25] odd: the application demands the flash plugin - but the flash plugin was installed for firefox. [23:26] outofthemadness: what is it that you are having a problem with? It should do it automatically and you can also select the highlighting manually [23:27] Hello [23:27] eeePingJocky: I mean, how might you edit what languages it recognizes? I just started messing around with processing, and whenever I load a processing file in gedit, it comes up with C syntax highlighting [23:27] Hiya, sorry to bore everyone with this but a friend of mine asked me to put her music on her new iPod Nano 4Gb. [23:28] miranda_psi: trying to add another language to the ones recognized by syntax highlighting [23:28] I have had no trouble getting ubuntu to recognize thedevice, but it seems to mount as read only, and I've been unable to copy anything across to it, even with gtkpod--aac [23:28] After a while in ubuntu, my graphics card's fan just revs up and stays at what I think is max. And the only way I've found to get the fan back down is to restart Ubuntu :s [23:28] I'm looking for somebody or some channel about java , I've a problem with javax.sound and I need Help, please ¿Do you know about? [23:28] !ipod | lain_wired [23:28] lain_wired: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:28] It's only at 60C [23:29] Sylphid, ah thanks :p [23:30] Sylphid, uh. That article is mostly telling me I should already be able to do this. [23:30] outofthemadness: sorry but I don't know how to do that [23:31] please, any idea? [23:31] outofthemadness: looks like its going to be more than skin deep, you may have to alter the language highlighting and im not sure where that is at [23:31] lain_wired - was it formatted in Linux? [23:31] well not in gedit anyway [23:31] Has anyone had issues with VLC and Qt recently? All of my other Qt programs seem to work fine, but VLC is giving me QtApplication errors and segfaulting [23:31] yow|laptop, no - and it's not my iPod to format either. [23:32] then it likely won't work from what ive seen [23:32] ah okay thanks anyway guys [23:32] windows and apple are the same with ipods as well, you cant just switch them between os's [23:33] hola [23:33] que tal!! [23:33] yow|laptop, in that case, may i say, I really dislike the iPod. [23:33] !es | kvillaville [23:33] kvillaville: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:33] yow|laptop, you can if the ipod was used on a windows pc first [23:33] (or so i have been told) [23:34] ubottu: ¿do you know about some java channel ? [23:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:34] sloopy - perhaps, ive just noticed that its not something thats easily interchangeable [23:34] AHHH [23:34] ok [23:34] i understand [23:34] so [23:34] hi guys!! [23:35] yow|laptop, from what i understand, when an ipod is first connected it is formatted with the native fs of the OS setting it up [23:35] correct sloopy [23:35] windows doesnt understand osx fs's [23:35] but osx does ntfs fine [23:35] is there a stock watcher program for shell that anyone knows about? [23:35] yow|laptop, can it be formatted fat32 to be cross compatible? [23:36] yes, but then there is the issue of not finding the library too [23:36] !stock [23:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about stock [23:36] !nvidia 180.22 [23:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia 180.22 === five_ is now known as Guest84300 [23:36] I've installed the Kickstart configuration tool and created my kickstart cfg file - but I cannot find out what the next step is... When a computer hits my PXE boot server, how do I tell it to use the ks file? [23:36] !nvidia | gerob [23:36] gerob: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:36] not sure Sylphid - but keep in mind that fat32 has a 4gb filesize limit so that could cause other issues [23:36] i dont use my ipod maybe i should mess with it and write 'another' howto [23:37] picket [23:37] i only use my ipod in osx86 and i dont bother swapping it around [23:37] Tyrath: I have downloaded the latest driver from their site but im having some trouble getting it to run [23:37] yow|laptop, yes but (correct me if im wrong) ipod nanos only have a 4G hard drive [23:37] Tyrath: There's a few. Fire up synaptic and search for stock and start perusing [23:37] sloopy: I don't know what your problem is but have you tried using gtkpod ? [23:37] Sylphid - i have an 8gb nano [23:37] Flannel: thanks [23:38] Flannel: do you use one that you'd recommend? [23:38] Tyrath: I don't, no. [23:39] hi, is ms-sys included on ubuntu 8.10 ? I dont have an internet connection (or working MBR) [23:39] Sylphid - its up to you, if you have it wiped clean, you can certainly try it out and let us know the result [23:39] yow|laptop, sorry wasnt me with the ipod it was lain_wired [23:40] Sylphid: wireless problem? [23:40] i personally dont really like my ipod that much as a device, but its 8gbs and very portable [23:40] Sylphid: did you try the troubleshooting link? [23:40] gerob: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers ? Have you tried activating the latest driver ? [23:40] gerob: sorry to take so long to respond [23:40] user002, huh?? [23:40] oh i thought you had one Sylphid since you were talking about the 4gb limit, my mistake [23:41] Tyrath: the latest there isnt the actual latest one and I have had no luck with those ones ... i am fairly new to this though and could be doing something wrong [23:41] yow|laptop, no sorry was helping lain_wired out [23:41] Sylphid: perhaps you have a similar handle as someone last night with a wireless problem, I just joined the room [23:41] user002, sorry wasnt me [23:41] yow|laptop, as far as mp3 players go, i much prefer my creative zen v. I've never known an electronic device to be so resilient. [23:41] sylphid: my bad [23:42] i've gotten it wet, dropped it, slept on it, etc. It mounts instantly with gnomad2. :D [23:42] hi, is ms-sys included on ubuntu 8.10 ? I dont have an internet connection (or working MBR) [23:42] !info ms-sys [23:42] Package ms-sys does not exist in intrepid [23:42] !find ms-sys [23:42] Package/file ms-sys does not exist in intrepid [23:42] lain_wired - my issue with the ipod is that you cant just easily copy files on and off it using usb mass storage, its software driven, plus the controls drive me nuts while im using it at the gym [23:42] thanks [23:43] yow|laptop, yes, that too. I don't know why they feel the need to make things complicated. [23:43] Anyone know what exactly Firestarter does? And how I can get it to start on boot? [23:43] lain_wired - since you cant wipe it, the only other thing that comes to mind is that the folder where it was mounted might be read only. you could check that [23:43] gerob: the best advise I can give you is to type this in shell: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-settings [23:43] I was considering buying the zen x-fi next, but I'm hearing mixed reviews. :\ [23:43] !firewall [23:43] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [23:44] Ochian, see the above urls [23:44] gerob: if that doesn't work i'm not sure [23:44] Yay, bots. [23:44] lain_wired - my ipod was a gift, otherwise i wouldn't own one :) [23:44] you may need to use the program nvidia-settings to set the driver to nvidia-glx-180 [23:44] gerob: you may need to use the program nvidia-settings to set the driver to nvidia-glx-180 [23:44] yow|laptop, fair enough. I've always been a Creative fan. :p [23:44] Tyrath I have sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.22-pkg1.run but I need to close my X to run it [23:44] yow|laptop, my wife is wanting an mp3 player ... what would you recommend [23:45] Tyrath: The instructions dont tell me how to do that [23:45] gerob: .run? i've never seen tht extension before... not too sure [23:46] lain_wired - i would have probably bought an Archos device myself if i never received my ipod [23:46] gerob: Try booting into a root shell [23:46] gerob, you have tried the drivers in the repositories and via envyng if those failed FIRST? [23:46] gerob: i'd suggest what i told you, otherwise i wouldn't hve a clue, sorry [23:46] * Tyrath hasn't had any graphic driver issues since he first installed 8.10 [23:46] yow|laptop, I've never used Archos, but I will check them out for my next player upgrade. [23:47] gerob, if you really MUST use the nvidia instrallers.. go to console (alt-ctrl-f1) and use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to make X stop. then run the installer 'sudo sh whatever.run' [23:47] Still no success on the ipod front, but the way. [23:47] gerob, good luck getting them to work... :) the repo versions or envy0ng is a better bet. [23:47] Sylphid - id be inclined to agree with lain_wired in that zens are nice. easy controls [23:47] dr_willis: just curious. what's .run? shouldn't it be .sh ? [23:47] dr_willis: I couldnt get envyng to run [23:47] need advice [23:47] gerob, just an idiotic extension they use the means 'run me' [23:47] with selecting an OS [23:48] !ask | gbear14275 [23:48] gbear14275: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:48] speaking of graphic drivers, will Nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (driver 96) work on Jaunty (X.org 1.6)? [23:48] gerob, it could be a binary, not a shell script.. i imagine that file is a bit of both [23:48] yow|laptop, thanks [23:48] yow|laptop, Sylphid If the Zen V Plus series is still out, I recommend them. They're adorable and yet impossible to hurt. [23:48] dr_willis: I believe it a bit of both [23:48] gbear14275: you shouldn't come to ubuntu and ask advice on selecting an OS. the answer they'll give you will probably be ubuntu given this is a ubuntu channel :P [23:48] dr_willis: im willing to try envng if I can get it to run [23:49] !envy [23:49] 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 [23:49] I FINALLY got a minute scratch on mine after I left it uncovered in a bag of coins and wires. Don't even ask why I thought that was a good idea. [23:49] yeah and i try to stick to ones that dont have a lot of extras so that i can just use drag n drop for files. my PSP is great that way but a bit big for taking to the gym [23:49] !beancounter [23:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about beancounter [23:49] dr_willis, so do I use the gtk one then? [23:49] Tyrath: yeah and if someone suggested Fedora or anything *except* Ubuntu, they'd be yelled at for being OT and whatnot [23:49] have done something weird to my video config. how can i get Ubuntu to re-do whatever it did at installation time and put everything back the way it was? [23:50] Tyrath: is there an ubuntu install ISO that will install ubuntu with XFCE and will it run well enough on a p2 machine with 300mb's of RAM and [23:50] gerob, if you want. its for gnome [23:50] eseven73: lol [23:50] and i dont like that i cant delete a file directly from the ipod itself either [23:50] !xubuntu [23:50] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [23:50] !xubuntu | gbear14275 [23:50] gbear14275: please see above [23:50] Tyrath: got it thanks [23:51] Hi, I've just installed 8.10. At first boot network manager listed my wireless card and asked to download restricted drivers. After installing driver (bcm43xx) and reboot I can't see my wireless connection. ifconfig shows it [23:51] * Tyrath hates static electricity! he seems to get zapped by any random power cord these days [23:52] lavanta - did you try giving it an ip and setting /etc/resolv.conf manually with your nameserver to see if that works? [23:52] !libfinance [23:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about libfinance [23:52] meh [23:52] :( [23:52] !girls [23:52] Girls exist on the internet. See http://www.escapistmagazine.com/print/17/27 | http://www.xkcd.com/322/ | For more interesting reading: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ [23:53] me wonders why cups just reloaded randomly [23:53] lol [23:53] haha @ Ochian [23:53] dr_willis: ok .... i got it through the package manager now what? [23:53] yow|laptop, I don't have a wireless modem just now. [23:53] gerob, run it? [23:54] oh ok, lavanta, not much point then ;) [23:54] !topic [23:54] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [23:54] dr_willis: there is no GUI for it and the envyng -t comes up with an error [23:55] CaptainMorgan: try /topic, it's much more friendly to your peers :) [23:55] CaptainMorgan: or /msg ubottu topic [23:55] why would I do that Tyrath ? [23:55] gerob, No idea then. last i ran it from a terminal on my other laptop it ran fine for me - You did run sudo envyng-gtk ? [23:55] CaptainMorgan: well why did you type !topic ? [23:55] Tyrath, my attempt was to keep the topic on support not the above recent [23:56] CaptainMorgan: ahh k [23:56] dr_willis: sudo: envyng-gtk: command not found [23:56] gerob: apt-cache search envyng-gtk and see if anything comes up [23:56] Hey there [23:57] gerob: that should give you a list of installable programs with that contained in the name [23:57] gerob, dr_willis: -gtk is a metapackage for envyng, there's no -gtk version due to some stability issues. -qt exists, as does the CLI [23:58] there ya go gerob install/use envy-qt I guess... [23:58] are there any evoulition guys in here? [23:58] dr_willis: flannel: ok ill try that [23:59] !ask | jeeves_Moss [23:59] jeeves_Moss: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:59] I am about to cry. Sleep deprivation and weak hardware support don't mix. [23:59] Tyrath, yea, thanks. I know how it works. [23:59] gerob, just to clarify - you DID use the 'restricted-drivers manager' tool to try the nvidia drivers in the repositories FIRST? [23:59] Question: Has anyone here encountered a situation in which Gnome will display only a blank white screen within a normal session but display everything fine in a failsafe session (no startup scripts) ? [23:59] lain_wired, lol, welcome to my world most nights @ about 3:30am
