Usually you're better off with Google than any customer service department, lol [00:19] I migrated from kubuntu to ubuntu to use boxee and with a fresh install of boxee it fails without error (i blame the move from kubuntu > ubuntu, is that reasonable?).

Scroll and movement works, left and right click don't work [00:21] ic3fr0g, via wine? [00:21] any ideas? [00:21] bazhang, what did you mean by "that would be limited to the total allowable..." ? my problem is that with a monitor connected my displays are both 1024x768, without it I can get a max of 800x600 on the internal display. It should easily get 1920x1200, which it uses in Windows.

[00:25] hi all. what's the name for gnome-mag application? And generally how can I find out program names from installed packages? [00:25] EtFb, valid. I ran across a few comparisons of netbooks a while back that seemed pretty informative. I think the put the Eee in first place, but then I think it was listed like 4 times for the various versions. The netbook business is still too new to have any really good options though. [00:25] Brack10, just a quick fyi, its common to put mounted devices in /media/filename [00:26] gleaken: does the mouse click create an event in xev [00:26] edenroz there maybe a fix i dont know but i have a acer and cant use the same buttons but no great loss to me i prefer linux [00:26] rencx use this link it tells you http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [00:26] Brack10, yes -- although i think pmount will make it on the fly for you [00:26] i am trying to boot a linux live cd 8.10 x_64 and am getting comreset errror.... is there a way to get around this?

[00:45] hi, I installed ubuntu 8.10 using netinstall on my /dev/sdb2. When it asked me for loading grub, I told it to install it on /dev/sdb2 instead of changing my mbr. I usually do this.. and then go and update my grub file manually. I did that for Ubuntu, but its not booting.. telling ..Bad File descriptor... , I can mount the /dev/sdb2 to a /tmp/x and contents looks good.. any ideas .. [00:45] quiksilver: Try to find out what sound card you have, then we can find a driver for it. [00:45] j_nwb: re-install grub === broly_ is now known as broly [00:45] I'm trying to mount my extra hdd but it says "must specify filesystem type" so then when I do -t ext3 it says "CANNOT FIND EXT3 PARTITION" I'm going "mount /dev/hda /extrahdd" [00:46] quiksilver: If you have to, reboot into Windows and find out that way. [00:46] actually quiksilver i remember seeing Ubuntu Linux For Dummies online in the walmart catalog. i am sure you could find it somewhere online [00:46] the_squircle: re-install grub where ? /dev/sdb2?

[00:46] tsunami, shouldnt be [00:47] also why am I banned from #Debian? [00:47] j_nwb: Also, is "Bad File descriptor" really the error you are getting? [00:47] is it because I ask noob questions all the time? [00:47] is there anyway to run a linux script in fullscreen automatically? [00:47] Brack10: you'd need to ask them. We don't control #debian. [00:47] yes.. I do not do that for other oses... my MBR boots in to fedora.. I have other operating systems.. like suse...etc...

[00:49] has anyone actually been able to remove the popping etc from pulse audio in hardy? [00:49] Brack10: /dev/hda is not likely to actually have a filesystem on it. It should be /dev/hda1 or something like that. [00:49] DasEi: done [00:49] hey, is there a way to take a driver (nvidia) off of a Mandriva install cd, for use with ubuntu or will it not work cause of the different distro?

[01:02] daedalusx64 beta 2 released soon [01:02] hello all. I am having an issue with pulseaudio hanging hard when I try to get it to point to bluetooth. is there a room more focused on that sort of issue? [01:02] hi. ubuntu 8.10 + nvidia (propr drivers). the nvidia config tool does not list my monitor's 1680x1050 mode, but only 1600x1024 and 1600x1200. i found 2 threads on ubuntu forums, but non of the suggestions there helped. any idea how to enable 1680x1050 mode? [01:02] Rencx: then try sudo apt-get install cinelerra [01:02] hi [01:02] I also have strace output if anyone is interested. [01:02] hi [01:03] gmm46 dont work the same [01:03] hmm [01:03] whoDat: Try /proc/devices and ls -l to see the major and minor of the one you're interested in. [01:03] hey... Is ext4 supposed to be slower or faster than ntfs (under windows). I am copying the same files from my home partition to an ext4 parition in an external drive, and from windows to another ntfs parition on the same external drive. Windows seems to copy files at 14mb/s while ext4 in lnux goes between 5-9 [01:03] gmm46 maybe i have add wrong stuff in synaptic [01:03] runder: thanks man [01:03] runderwo: When I try file completion.. it is trying to get to my fedora partition ... as root is set to (hd0,0) [01:04] j_nwb: :-) Something's wrong there. [01:04] hi, how do i update from the command line ? [01:04] runderwo: The ubuntu is using uuid to set root [01:04] how good is the JFS filing system? [01:04] afroken: sudo apt-get update [01:04] runder: it looks like lshw gave me what i needed too [01:04] Hi, I'm trying to help a friend install ubuntu, but for some reason GRUB won't install, and when it does, it won't allow her to boot. It just says that there's no operating system (or something along those lines) [01:04] afroken: sudo apt-get upgrade [01:05] Any idea on what to do? I tried installing grub manually, but it won't find the OS. [01:05] runderwo: And there is no root directive... so it is not finding it. [01:05] j_nwb: That is okay when it comes to the kernel. When it comes to grub, it needs to know the BIOS disk and partition number. [01:05] Hi all. [01:05] j_nwb: that's why grub uses the (hdX,Y) stuff. [01:05] runderwo: I added root (hd1,1) [01:05] Knysliux001, upgrade -will download the latest versions of the software i'm running plus security updates? [01:05] afroken: exactly [01:06] Knysliux001, thanks [01:06] afroken: and not only download, it will install them [01:06] Do anyone can help me install cinelerra?? [01:06] afroken: Unless the newer version of the software requires a new package that it didn't require before. In that case, you'd have to use dist-upgrade. [01:06] aptoncd refuses to find more than 3 packages?? Where iare the packages please I will have to save them manually. thank you [01:06] hi [01:06] How do I mount a Kodak Easyshare C340 as a USB mass storage device (as opposed to camera)? Vista supports both. PM please. [01:06] what package should i install to get the nvidia driver? === moldy_ is now known as moldy [01:06] runderwo, will apt tell me i need to use that? [01:06] Jorophose: What kind of computer is it? [01:07] how can i install this file??? cinelerra-4-ubuntu-i686.tar.bz2 [01:07] moldy, depends on your card [01:07] afroken: If you see packages "held back", then that tells you that dist-upgrade is required to be fully up-to-date. [01:07] So, what's the next step? I have a pretty good feel of Ubuntu now but feel stupid having a swiss army knife of OSes and only using the tweezers [01:07] runderwo: And it gives Bad File or directory type [01:07] runderwo, thanks [01:07] pretty good metaphor, right? [01:07] grayson: i cannot check which card right now... what is the general recommendation? [01:08] I have 18 gigs of music, thousands of files to copy, is it faster to tar, copy and extract, or just copy the files? [01:08] Do anyone can help me install cinelerra?? I need step by step because of erors.. [01:08] Brack10: Just copy them, unless it's over a slow link. [01:08] grayson: i ran aptitude search nvidia, but i am confused now. what is the correct version to install? [01:08] I tried file completion with (hd0,0)/ ... it works .. with (hd1,1), it does not!! But if I boot in fedora, I can mount /dev/sd2 and see the contents.!!! [01:08] Rencx: What is your problem? [01:08] rimderwo: No, it's 2 IDE hdds [01:08] gnubuntu cant instal video editing soft [01:09] j_nwb: Is it possibly switching the two disks on you? [01:09] gnubuntu: for some reason cinelerra is not in repositories anymore [01:09] Knysliux001: ah really? i had install it in hardy and had no problems [01:09] gnubuntu is drops eror mesage E: Broken packages [01:09] runderwo: Intel Core 2 Duo, built by HP [01:10] Jorophose: Laptop?

(though I do not personally think..) [01:10] Jorophose: What error does grub give you? [01:10] grayson: i don't have a gui [01:10] I want to reinstall as much as possible in ubuntu without reformatting, what should i do [01:10] grayson: i need to setup a chroot environment for an ltsp client to which i currently have no access [01:11] hi [01:11] can anyone tell me what the actual command is for the gnome terminal server client? [01:11] moldy, sorry I am only good with gui :( [01:11] grayson: ok. thanks anyway :) [01:11] j_nwb: Well, check the BIOS and see which drive is which according to it. Sometimes grub is set up to monkey with that (usually to deal with windows) which would mislead you into thinking /dev/sdb is the second disk, in that case. [01:11] Rencx: Sorry. i cant help you with that. === binarymutt_ is now known as binarymutt [01:12] gnubuntu can you help me with input sound? [01:12] runderwo: it just says it failed to find (but I believe this is the BIOS) or load the OS [01:12] Rencx just extract file to folder and run it i just did and it works fine [01:12] Damn. Ubuntu is already releasing 9.04? [01:12] Jorophose: What error does grub give you when you try to install it? [01:12] How do I see what driver xorg is using? [01:12] TheFunkbomb: not until April... [01:12] runderwo: I just checked I have an old fedora installation on (hd1,4) and grub is correctly finding it..!!! [01:13] Knysliux001, it's probably in a respository you haven't added [01:13] linuxman410 but there are not any setup file [01:13] rww, I just installed 8.10! [01:13] She installed grub when I wasn't there, it seems grub installed fine when it was done manually. [01:13] TheFunkbomb: Ubuntu releases every six months. 8.10 will be supported until April 2010. [01:13] badfish69: yes, I see in their site that i have to add one. Thank's [01:13] np [01:13] rww, well, I'll have to upgrade [01:14] gone digging, chow [01:14] j_nwb: Makes no sense to me. grub could swap the drives but it can't mix up partitions. [01:14] hi, I'm using the live cd right now and I'm trying to install it onto a partition I made earlier [01:14] i gtg [01:14] bye [01:14] Rencx: i have this link for you: http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [01:14] runderwo: May be I will try once more .. (tried it few times).. and not install grub this time. [01:14] I'm at step 4 where it says 'prepare partitions', and there's nothing there [01:14] yes [01:14] http://i40.tinypic.com/27zvt6t.png [01:15] Jorophose: How did you partition the drive? [01:15] how do i see what django is pointing to? [01:15] on my system [01:15] just execute cinelerra that file got into folder double click it and program will run [01:15] the "entire disk" option [01:15] Rencx [01:15] gnubuntu when i put stuff in snapic it ask for some key [01:15] Jorophose: I have no idea what the problem is. [01:15] Rencx: just accepted the keys. should ok [01:16] any idea? [01:16] Rencx: or get the keys from the site [01:16] Where could we pick a failure point at? Is it during grub's installation, or is it because we might be missing swap? Could the BIOS itself cause the problem? [01:16] how do i install google earth? [01:16] am i able too? [01:17] I'm trying to learn how to output the contents of a directory to a file (text file - name, size, date). [01:17] !googleearth [01:17] gnubuntu i will se now [01:17] 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 [01:17] Jorophose: The only thing I can see interfering is some lame BIOS antivirus. [01:17] DVA5912, Add medibuntu. it is in there [01:17] DVA5912: add the medibuntu repository and install it from there [01:17] !medibuntu | DVA5912 [01:17] DVA5912: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:17] Rencx: good luck.

[01:17] misteralexander, what's this for? [01:17] where is the grub.conf file located in ubuntu? [01:17] misteralexander: If you need to pick fields out of it, use awk. [01:18] hey [01:18] Lots of great ideas, is there a web resource I can look up to learn more about this? [01:18] !rute [01:18] documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [01:18] afton: there is no grub.conf in my system [01:18] runderwo: It's a phoenix bios... and although it might have been sensationalism, I heard about them having problems with linux... do you think it could be that? [01:18] misteralexander: Anything on log processing with awk should help. [01:19] afton: /boot/grub [01:19] Hey, if I wanted to write "Ubuntu" in binary code on my forehead, how would I do it?

[01:21] Rencx: just ask your real question. i will see [01:21] TheFunkbomb: what do you mean a good guide.. what i've done in the past, is i get a list of things i'd like to use, then use Google and the part name and "Ubuntu", and see if i get hits on problems w/ that devie... Its never let me down [01:21] i have a problem with ubuntu sound shortcuts and Fn keys on my laptop. the keys are recognised as XF86AudioLowerVolume and simillar and simillar, the icon is appearing on the desktop, but the sound is not getting louder/quiet/muted. alsa 1.0.18, snd-hda-intel [01:21] Jorophose: Have you looked for any kind of antivirus or MBR protection in the BIOS?

[01:22] gnubuntu I need fix sound for skype and also when i record on Audacity it is very low.. [01:22] TheFunkbomb: like a build how-to? [01:22] IndyGunFreak, yeah something like that [01:22] IndyGunFreak, like recommended hardware [01:22] does anyone know what the command for the gnome terminal server client is? [01:23] I just installed ubuntu 8.10, should I install all of the available updates? [01:23] TheFunkbomb: well, i don't know about recommended hardware for a linux machine, you might find one.. but usually MaximumPC, builds a computer each issue... if you're wondering about the build process [01:23] Rencx: ah ok. i had this problems too with hardy. i had fix it now. do you have ubuntu 8.10? [01:23] yes [01:23] Comet, tsclient perhaps? [01:24] gerob, yes you should [01:24] IndyGunFreak, I can build a Windows based computer. I guess I should just do that and do your thing of googling each part. I'm wondering if Ubuntu would support Intel's new i7 processor and stuff like that [01:24] TheFunkbomb: just remember.. motherboards- Asus/MSI, Harddrives- WD/Seagate, Optical Drives- Lite ON, GPU- Nvidia.. and you'll probably be OK [01:24] gnubuntu: can we talk in private chat? [01:24] unop: thanks :D [01:24] comet, have you tried tsclient? [01:24] Does anyone run Ubuntu on a quadcore? [01:24] TheFunkbomb: well, yeah, you're not gonna find a guide to building a pc specifically for linux(at least i don't think so) [01:24] gerob, it would do you well to install all of the updates [01:25] Rencx: sorry. but i have to go sleep now. just search your problems in ubuntuforums.com [01:25] IndyGunFreak, I might do it and document my results. It could be an untapped area where a new guy could help the process [01:25] DaveW: yea, no luck.. but i noticed it is an actual program [01:26] TheFunkbomb: eh, ubuntu's hardware recognition is pretty solid, so really you're probably not gonna have many hardware issues, unless you buy really odd, or really new hardware [01:26] I need fix sound for skype and also when i record on Audacity it is very low.. [01:26] Okay [01:26] i'm asking in the wrong place, but i'm using freebsd.. i know ubuntu comes with the terminal server by default, so i figured someone would have a quick answer.. i compiled gnome and wasnt sure if it comes with it by default [01:27] Rencx, double click on the speaker and go to preferences [01:27] TheFunkbomb ty :) [01:27] I am also wondering how I get my video card working?

[01:27] comet, it sounds like youre not sure if its installed then? if so, try installing/reinstalling [01:27] Rencx, no problem. There are a lot of playback and recording features in there [01:28] DaveW: well if i knew the command, then i could search the HD to see if its installed..

[02:02] gerob: if you have the card installed, go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers [02:02] when you want to use a CF card as a hard drive for an appliance what are some consideration i should consider when looking for CF Cards [02:03] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [02:03] disappearedng_:you could mount it ?

[02:04] dano_: The drivers included with Ubuntu should enable compiz on intel chips. [02:04] gerob: 177 should work wonderfully for you [02:04] josephnexus: then try setting it back to one monitor while connected to two monitors, that works for me most of the time [02:04] runderwo, whenevever I try to enable it, it's says it failed to set desktop options [02:05] ok... i guess I'll have to try that [02:05] jospehnexus: how do i get back in if it crashes my X server?

Regards Gobby [02:05] dano_: What version of ubuntu? [02:05] gerob: since you are on a newer version of ubuntu, if it fails, it should offer to revert to failsafes [02:05] runderwo, intrepid ibex [02:06] dano_: I'm using intrepid with an intel chip and didn't need to do anything special to enable compiz.

[02:07] DasEi I guess, I followed the guide http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_mount_FFS_partition_under_Linux completely [02:07] Where do i do this dano_, im farily new to ubuntu linux [02:07] gobby right click on the pannel and select add to pannel [02:08] how do i get ubuntu if i have dialup and live in victoria melbourne australia [02:08] I am pretty sure it was working earlier, i must of accidentally switched something because it showed up before [02:08] daniel24, By mail for free [02:08] i always forget; is it better to use - in filenames, databases, directories, or _ [02:08] <__jaschon__> distinctblur - i got that in update manager too [02:08] daniel24: does shipit reach you? [02:08] i dont know [02:08] shipit.ubuntu.com is the site I believe [02:08] !shipit [02:08] shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Intrepid (8.10) CDs [02:08] jaschon - tough part is it won't actually install [02:08] Gobby: add window list to taskbar; right click -> add -> window list [02:09] distinctblur: dpkg -l linux-image-generic [02:09] disappearedng_:ufs is supported by mount (default) [02:09] runderwo: what'll that do?

[02:11] it is just called AMD64 cause they were the first (i believe) but intel uses it too now [02:11] How do you switch from the GUI to CLI? I'm full of questions, sorry :) [02:11] other than the mobo limit [02:11] Like in the terminal?

[02:13] has anyone ever used dropbox for ubuntu [02:13] Thank, you MK131, and also DasEI. [02:13] runderwo: that command returns 2.6.27.9.13 [02:14] distinctblur: Doesn't help. Hmm. [02:14] Gobby: also the menu has an option > console === albech^ is now known as albech [02:14] In the terminal, what is the command so i can just look at everything text based?.. Unless this is the same thing as my CLI question [02:14] So i can like browse the internet etc from there [02:15] I believe ubuntu has shortened the life of my laptop. I wish to sue. Who shall I sue? [02:15] tyoons: what makes you say that? [02:15] you can sue me [02:15] i got about $8 [02:15] when you want to use a CF card as a hard drive for an appliance what are some consideration i should consider when looking for CF Cards [02:15] by suing i mean you will have to fight me for it [02:15] its only fair [02:15] Gobby: elinks is a terminal based web browser. [02:15] runderwo, fix your tab complete [02:15] does shipit ship to aus [02:16] !ot [02:16] runderwo, make it go in order of who spoke, not alphabetical [02:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

[02:16] Yes, yes that is exactly what im talking about runderwo, can you also like for example run xchat through the terminal, for the oldschool look? [02:16] tyoons: iirc, that is licensed in such a way that you cannot sue for damages [02:16] sudo grub-install hd0 returns "Could not find device for /boot: not found or not a block device" [02:16] daniel24 yes [02:17] tyoons, This is support, please try a different place to express your opinion. [02:17] Could someone please help me to get my sound card's remote control working? I have lirc and gnome-lirc-properties installed and have the right remote selected in gnome-lirc-properties, but I don't know what to set the receiver to, mine isn't listed? [02:17] daniel24 takes about 4 weeks [02:17] how many can i order [02:17] Gobby: Use irssi for irc, imcom for IM, etc. [02:17] Is that supposed to happen? Was I supposed to change it for sdc1 or something? [02:17] Jack_Sparrow this is not an opinion. I was looking for support. I understand that nobody associated with ubuntu wants to answer this question [02:17] Jack_Sparrow are you aware of who I can bring a class-action suit against? [02:17] tyoons, You are not asking a support question.. this is support [02:18] tyoons: Don't be an idiot. It's the BIOS manufacturer's fault. [02:18] this irc is community [02:18] runderwo no windows install had the same effect. It only occurred with ubuntu. [02:18] tyoons, Feel free to ask somewhere else [02:18] tyoons: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77672.html [02:18] can someone please help me... my x-window shut down automatically ~10-20mins.

[02:18] HOW MANY CDS CAN I ORDER WITH SHIPIT TO AUS [02:19] danlose the caps and go look at the link [02:19] hello? [02:19] tyoons: Mainly because BIOS manufacturers refuse to talk to Linux programmers. [02:19] daniel24, the caps and go look at the link [02:19] I would just warn everyone here about ubuntu then. It shortened the life of many of my companies laptops. There is no way to seek compensation for that. I would be very careful about installing ubuntu on any machine as a result [02:19] what link [02:19] !ot [02:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:31] runderwo: actually, the shutdown box automatically prompts for like lightening second then it will shutdown [02:31] linux_newbie: But this is as soon as X starts up without you touching anything? [02:31] runderwo: nope it will shut down my computer ... [02:32] BigMike, that happened when I tested out Mandriva (i know...) try restarting, or set up window decorations in CCSM [02:32] Jorophose: It said: Fatal Server error: no screens found, giving up. xinit:Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to Xserver ... xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error [02:32] linux_newbie: Did it ever work correctly, and what changed since it did?

[02:36] nightrid3r: sing a wired connection, the router works as a hub. [02:36] Gerob, what graphics card do you have, and what resolution are you aiming for? [02:36] Gerob: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace 'nvidia' with 'nv' [02:36] runderwo: what could trigger the shutdown box to pop up automatically ? [02:37] uh so like this? laptop-(router)~(wireless)~(ppoe modem)--internet? [02:37] linux_newbie: The only thing I can think of is ACPI thinks your battery is dead, but it's not a laptop.

[02:38] ghone:im a noob and also i dont really get what your saying,try 192.168.1.2 [02:39] marine: use gparted to expand the partiton [02:39] !gparted | marine [02:39] marine: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:39] runderwo: it returns nothing [02:39] csna: also a no-go [02:39] linux_newbie: Right, because you don't have a battery. [02:39] uhh...are you connected to it? [02:39] csna: yes, using a cable [02:39] that's how i got the unallocated partition from gparted [02:39] ghone: for a full reset you need to press the butten for 20 sec [02:39] linux_newbie: Try sudo dpkg --purge gdm; sudo apt-get install gdm [02:40] as in does ubuntu say you are?btw its written csana [02:40] dean, i used gparted to free up the remaining hardrive space from the windows side and got an unallocated partition [02:41] nightridr: tried for about 40 seconds or so. is it possible that th192.168.a.b (where a and b are between 0 and 5) is incorrect? [02:41] runderwo, i used gparted to free up the remaining hardrive space from the windows side and got an unallocated partition [02:41] marine; click on the linux partition, hit resize and then make it take up the free space [02:42] runderwo: gdm is the lastest ... diffstat quilt libfribidi-dev is no longer needed... apt-get autoremove... to remove it [02:42] dean let me try that [02:42] ghone: it should be 192.168.1.1 unless they changed it in your model all other linksys use that adress [02:42] runderwo: shut I do as instructed ? [02:42] ghone:right click on the little computer connection icon and click on connection information [02:42] dean i don't think it gave me that choice the first time. [02:42] linksys tech support also said the same address [02:42] runderwo: should I do as insturcted ? [02:42] ghone: try 10.0.0.1 if that doesn't work [02:42] ghone:right click on the little computer connection icon and click on connection information [02:43] maybe I just got a broken one [02:43] ghone:right click on the little computer connection icon and click on connection information [02:43] linux_newbie: I was just suggesting to reinstall it in case it's gotten screwed up somehow, but I don't think it'll make a difference. [02:43] how can i downgrade my flash plugin from 10.x to 9.x???

[03:03] Any photoshop users? [03:03] Rencx: when you can run your own skype like service which uses open standards [03:03] Gobby: I used to use it [03:03] Rencx: asterisk for the win [03:03] Tyrath, did you use it with Ubuntu studio? [03:03] Using wine [03:03] photoshop user here :) [03:03] phix i need all my skype contacts [03:03] Rencx, you can run Skype at start up by going to System -> Preferences -> Session [03:04] Rencx: fail :) [03:04] Gobby: nope. never. have you tried gimp? gimp's good! [03:04] anyone know if verizon fios supports ubuntu linux and if they'll give tech support for it? [03:04] Then adding a new item under the 'Startup programs' tab. [03:04] Gobby: I have photoshop on my mum's mac tho CS3 I think it is [03:04] lucasito [03:04] All photoshop users, i am using photoshop cs2 with wine.. but its very buggy.. and wondering if there is a much more stable way of using it? [03:04] Gobby: and it's mac os x so uses the unix kernel [03:04] I wonder if there is a SIP -> Skype / Skype -> SIP gatewaye module for asterisk [03:04] Gobby, running it in windows in virtualbox [03:05] phix, I doubt it. Skype's protocol is secret and encrypted. [03:05] Hmm, im going to try GIMPShop, so i get the feel of photoshop, i've been using photoshop cs2 for a year, its wonderful [03:05] DivineOmega yes but what comad i need write there? [03:05] i use Photoshop CS4 on windows... but GIMP is a very close rival [03:05] Providing you have the Linux version of skype installed, just Skype. [03:05] runderwo: ok thanks I will try that when I come back [03:05] Nickrud, i have no idea how to setup virtualbox... my dad used it , (we are both ubuntu users) and he coul'nt setup right, rather not [03:05] Sorry 'skype' - lowercase [03:06] phix: you need to get past what is knows as the skype obfuscion layer - or something like that. should be on wiki... [03:06] runderwo: thanks alot cya [03:06] Rencx, that worked for you? [03:06] DivineOmega is there on linux beter program than skype? [03:06] linux_newbie: y/w [03:07] how do I get my windows buttons back they disappeard [03:07] anyone got any idea of how to get hibernate (the linux app) to work? [03:07] DivineOmega: i add it.. [03:07] hi [03:07] im back] [03:07] many of my apps, after making the jump from kubuntu to ubuntu quit before they have a chance to start up. is there a way to fix this? [03:08] because I read the ubuntu tutorial on it and modified all the settings and it still doesn't do anything other than kill my network connection temporarily [03:08] Rencx, cool. I usually only use Skype for my voice communicates. [03:08] hibernate worked for me until I resized and moved swap -- now it doesn't [03:08] I'm running 7.04, and I can't update anytime soon, so it's what I have to work with right now. I found that when I switch to a different wifi network, /etc/hosts reverts back to the default, so anything I set in there disappears. Is there a different place I'm expected to set a hostname for a remote IP? [03:08] zacktu: hibernate as in the script for linux? or the gnome hibernate thing? [03:08] DivineOmega i had problem with sound i uninstalled pulseaudio thet was write? === distinctblur_ is now known as distinctblur [03:09] hi folks, i just installed ubuntu-desktop from a kubuntu installation. however, there's no sound once the gnome desktop loads. any ideas? there's sound in gdm as well as in kde. [03:09] zacktu: allocation of memory problem ? [03:09] Rencx, you shouldn't have needed to uninstall Pulseaudio. What was the nature of the sound problem? Was it specific to Skype? [03:09] tyrath -- i tried both -- can see that the commands to hibernate are all executed, but not the ones to wake up [03:09] GBGames: have you tried configuring the details in /etc/network/interfaces ? [03:10] DivineOmega yes i hear only with left side [03:10] Tyrath: Nope. I'll take a look. [03:10] GBGames: that's probably not the solution you want [03:10] So guys, any chance one of you would know how grub could fail, even though it's been installed properly and appears to know about all the hard drives?... maybe the BIOS is ignoring grub? [03:10] DivineOmega now i fix it and i can hear both sides i installed esound [03:10] robert - don't think so there's plenty of swap -- the forums show how to make certain the uuid is correct, etc, but none of that works [03:10] I am trying to get my WinXP vmware image working but it keeps saying operating system not found. This vmware image worked just fine on my vista box. ideas or does somebody have a .vmx file I could try? [03:10] GBGames: but you can set your wifi settings to auto connect on boot [03:11] I am using vmware btw... just dl'd it. [03:11] zacktu: you have a log something error messages ? [03:11] - - [03:11] Well, they already autoconnect. The problem is when I take my laptop to a different wifi connection, it seems to remove my customizations. [03:11] Rencx, you've fixed it? Great stuff. [03:11] does anyone know how to engage the autorun software [03:12] DivineOmega do you now how to startup 2 skype accounts on one pc? [03:12] GBGames: unless you see something like auto wlan0 in that file it may not be auto connecting to the wireless network [03:12] robert - i read the man pages and found out where the logs are kept - this was before christmas, so i don't remember where the log is [03:12] marine: in nautilus: Edit > Preferences > Media tab ? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:12] using gnome, when i open firefox it seems to be located in a different position on my screen. is there a way to make it remember the last location i placed it and have it open there? [03:13] Tyrath: When I am able to use the network connection, it is clear that it is working. My concern isn't the wireless connection. My concern is that I named an IP address in /etc/hosts so it is easy to ssh to it, but when I switch wifi networks, it seems that /etc/hosts is getting overwritten. [03:13] Can anyone explain how to run Windows program on Ubuntu.. I have Wine instaled.. [03:13] Can you get a windows virus, from installing a windows program with wine? [03:13] Rencx, you can start two instances of Skype in Linux. [03:13] pyro2927: Been looking for that for months, haven't found anything for it [03:13] GBGames: you should also allocate instructions such as wireless-mode managed wireless-channel wireless-essid [03:13] Gobby: It's possible [03:13] ardchoille, i don't see nautilus [03:13] zacktu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend [03:13] yes but they will launch in the same account [03:13] runderwo: what are the chances? [03:14] ardchoille: :( [03:14] Gobby: 42.6971% [03:14] Gobby, Highly unlike;y, but dont use root access and dont map /root as drive Z [03:14] zacktu: the most common problem is your fstab, but you cleared the UUID you siad right ? [03:14] marine: Places > Home [03:14] or one of them i need write by hand [03:14] ardchoille, i'm trying to boot up form livecd and it won't run automatically [03:14] GBGames: sudo ifup -a will make it reread the interfaces file [03:14] Can anyone explain how to run Windows program on Ubuntu.. I have Wine instaled.. [03:14] does anyone know how to change the startup screen on ubuntu? [03:14] Gobby: Seriously, the worst that can usually happen is that it deletes all your user's files and starts some network service. [03:14] Rencx, you can sign out of one and sign into another account manually, but you can not make it auto login to two different accounts. [03:14] Gobby: Which is pretty bad. [03:14] please pm me [03:14] marine: check your bios, set it to boot from cdrom [03:15] i see, is there a built in ubuntu scanner? [03:15] Rencx: type wine /.exe in terminal [03:15] !wine | Rencx [03:15] Rencx: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [03:15] Tyrath: Ok, but what does that have to do with /etc/hosts getting overwritten?

[03:15] treats: no [03:15] marine: my bad, what I recommended isn't what you want, sorry about that [03:15] treats: Try creating a new user account and seeing if it has the same problems. [03:15] GBGames: well I think it reads the interfaces file first. so any settings in there prob override the others. i'm not 100% sure tho [03:16] how do i uninstall grub2? [03:16] how can i download clamav runderwo? and thanks for all the help [03:16] does anyone know how to change the startup screen on ubuntu? please pm me. [03:16] usplash? [03:16] just want to be safe always :) [03:16] ardchoille, i found it and it looks like it says ask what to do and it di nothing when i poped the cd in [03:16] treats: sometimes you can delete most of the stuff in your home dir (all the .directories) and it will be ok, other times you need to reinstall unless you know what you are doing [03:16] Gobby: sudo apt-get install clamav. But remember it's not a resident scanner, so you'll have to invoke it manually to scan a windows file. [03:16] I guess it is the usplash [03:16] nightrid3r, check bios from the desktop how is that done [03:17] it is the one with the progress bar when booting ubuntu [03:17] hi. i need a driver for my ZET modem to run under ubuntu. model: MF622 HSDPA USB MODEM. Can anyone help me? [03:17] zacktu: you mind if we check again ? [03:17] robert: okay [03:17] Alright runderwo... thanks very much hope theres not a limit on questions because im going to ask alot :) [03:17] marine: when booting pc press "del" or "f1" or something like that [03:17] Gobby: If I'm around :) [03:17] marine: i think it is f8 [03:18] when booting [03:18] how do i install ubuntu from a usb flash drive? [03:18] guys .. i feel like going straight console mode .. is this good or bad ?

[03:28] jrib: I don't understand. it doesn't involve programming anything [03:28] Tyrath: use 'dict' if you just want a command to use in the terminal (not in the python shell) [03:28] your welcome [03:28] jrib: i do use dict, i was just curious [03:29] jrib: the thing is dict is a little bit annoying because it just dumps an output, the program doesn't enter any interactive mode or anything [03:29] can someone tell me what is the latest stable kernel version available in repos for Ubuntu 8.04? [03:29] Tyrath: dict WORD | less [03:30] jrib: that would merely enable me to scroll, it wouldn't enable me to input additional searches [03:30] cold somone explain how wor vbox? [03:30] Robert_Surcouf: done -- swap doesn't normally get used - one time i was running a memory-hungry app and kept opening others until I finally saw some of swap get used [03:30] jrib: piping isn't what i mean [03:30] What is better VirtualBox or Wine? [03:30] Trying to boot the alternate installer I get this: ACPI: Invalid PBLK length [0] [03:30] Tyrath: if that's what you want, ask that [03:30] Rencx: they are completely different things [03:30] rencx they do different things [03:30] If i deleted a file.. that was not a like uninstallable program.. its not installed just downloaded and used it no setup what so ever.. if i just delete this will it permanently go away? sorry i cant think of any better way to put it [03:31] marine: did you check the md5sum before burning [03:31] linuxman410, Thank you [03:31] cold you explain me difference? [03:31] nightrid3r, yes i did and everything was fine the sytem works soild [03:31] jrib: in which case would you know of a low resource dictionary program that has a running mode and doesn't simply quit upon execution? [03:31] Gobby: if you delete a file, it goes away, yes... [03:31] Rencx: wine allows for running windows applications. Virtual box allows you to run multiple instances of virtual machines for whichever OS you have images [03:31] Flips a coin: TAILS [03:31] Tyrath: not for a shell, no [03:31] weltpopeltag: please don't do that [03:31] zacktu: hum what I would like to try is to do a to do a hibernation is it possible ? or not, in order to test the hibernation process you have to issue two commands $ echo reboot > /sys/power/disk and $ echo disk > /sys/power/state [03:32] jrib: ahh k. thanks anyhow [03:32] can someone help me get the title bars back on my windows [03:32] no matter what? its not like windows where it stays in the registry etc? im farily new.. the program was used in wine.. and i think it had a virus... so i deleted it [03:32] VirtualBox will instal xp and only then i can run program? [03:32] marine: try to burn another disk and use that one, write it at a lower speed [03:32] Gobby: well the program could have done whatever it wanted to when you ran it... [03:32] Gobby: yes, it should go away if it was standalone. It may have made files outside of its directory but it is not common for standalone programs to do that [03:32] how do i get gfxboot working? [03:32] grub-gfxboot* [03:32] Robert_Surcouf: have you tried /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh ? [03:32] rencx virtualbox will allow you to install xp in a virtual environment which you define, as long as you have an image for XP, or an install disk. [03:33] rencx: wine will allow you to run individual windows programs [03:33] i used it for about 3 mins and found out about the virus, it would not have enough time right? [03:33] Gobby: it only takes the time to run it :( [03:33] nightrid3r, basically i want to import the remaining hardrive space that i made with gparted that is unallocated right now [03:33] Gobby: once stated that is it [03:33] nightrid3r, any suggestions [03:33] Gobby: if it's a windows virus than it probably would not do much more than affect your ~/.wine/drive_c/ [03:34] Hmm, well i deleted it , have'nt found any other instances of it [03:34] was it in wine? [03:34] Gobby 180 seconds is a lot of time for ANY application to run and complete several times over. [03:34] ok ty for your help :) [03:34] marine: gparted [03:34] How would i know? [03:34] what was the file? [03:34] Should i go in there and check?... im so paranoid.. i love ubuntu and dont wont to reinstall lol. [03:34] Robert_Surcouf: what are these commands going to do? [03:34] naughty_chloe [03:34] nightrid3r, yes that's how i got the unallocated part [03:34] dmsuperman are u using asus board [03:34] you can use linux command to evade the necessity to use gparted btw folks [03:34] zacktu: create the image reboot resume [03:35] linuxman410: Not sure, it's an Acer Aspire laptop [03:35] nightrid3r, can't unlock the drive when i'm using it [03:35] like partition stuff is doable with simple linux commands [03:35] what model dmsuperman [03:35] marine: there is a gparted iso on sourceforge [03:35] Robert_Surcouf: but also shutdown & reboot? [03:35] can i ask more ? [03:35] linuxman410: 4530 [03:35] no [03:35] is there a way to get the lambda symbol using the compose key? (without messing with my ~/.Xmodmap if possible, if it's necessary, that's fine) [03:35] zacktu: no [03:35] my computer is slow how can i make it faster [03:35] Tyrath: well you'd hope so considering that GUIs are just interactive frontends for the progras [03:36] go to that page an make one [03:36] echo reboot > /sys/power/disk [03:36] nightrid3r, andd/l and urn that one [03:36] zacktu: it will resume to where you are [03:36] marine: yes [03:37] oholiab: are you suggesting that someone could simply bypass linux commands and code something in C++ which the compiler simply converts to machine language and interfaces directly with partition related matters ? [03:37] oholiab: there was supposed to be a not between you and suggesting [03:37] what is the command for the terminal so you can browse the internet through it ? i forgot sorry :) [03:37] I have a friend who I've recently switched to Ubuntu, who is trying to play a music CD (codecs installed), but it is not working. Thing is, I've never tried to play a CD. Anyone know how to make this work? [03:38] how do i get gfxboot working? [03:38] Gobby: links, lynx [03:38] did u try it with no acp dmsuperman [03:38] crashsystems: Does it pretend to play but no sound comes out, or does it not even start to play or give an error? [03:38] can someone help me figure out why my usb mouse or my usb keyboard will freeze sporadically?? I have tried setting the defoptions in /boot/grub/menu.lst to add acpi-force and irqpoll as I found on google but that did not help. [03:38] linuxman410: Yeah, same deal, however I let it sit there and the installer started -_- [03:38] I want here peoples opinon.. Whic OS ar better Ubuntu, Elive..... etc..? [03:38] my computer is slow how can i make it faster [03:38] oholiab: that wasn't really clear. but what i'm saying suggesting is that GUI progs may not necessarily have to use linux commands to handle system things [03:38] linuxman410: The issue now is, after booting from the CD-ROM, it can't detect teh CD-ROM -_- [03:38] how do i run programs through the terminal so i get the CLI ? [03:38] Robert_Surcouf: even sudo doesn't allow echo reboot -- the files are 644 [03:39] @runderwo with the autorun I choose to open rhythmbox. the cd spins up, but nothing happens. [03:39] hellhound_: Check /proc/interrupts and see if there is a card sharing IRQ with it. Otherwise, try 'noacpi noapic' on the kernel arguments. [03:39] oholiab: you could produce a more resource intensive program that bypassed the commands [03:39] nightrid3r, you there [03:39] marine: yes [03:39] Rencx: depends on what you want out of the OS. [03:39] oholiab: at least so I would believe [03:39] im trying to uninstall grub2, but for some reason, it always boots, no matter what [03:39] !offtopic | Rencx [03:39] Rencx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:40] gerinych: What are you replacing it with? [03:40] did u try regular version instead of alternative one dmsuperman [03:40] nightrid3r, which one [03:40] ubuntu is only asking me for a WEP 40/128-bit key but i only have a 40/64-bit. what should i do? [03:40] blueeagle: grub-gfxboot [03:40] lockd: yeah but google does so much more than unit conversions though === fernando is now known as Guest35265 [03:40] linuxman410: No, typically the alternative works better than the livecd for me but I don't even have a livecd [03:40] marine: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/partedmagic/pmagic-3.4.iso.zip?modtime=1229785457&big_mirror=0 [03:40] there's a yahoo widget that does that [03:40] Tyrath: but that wouldn't be particularly sensible when you consider resource usage and also the development of the software... The only reason I picked up on it btw was because I thought you were just announcing random facts to the channel because I wasn't reading what was being said properly... sorry === Guest35265 is now known as FernandoF [03:40] gerinych: And did you reinstall grub to the boot record of the booting device? [03:41] Hello! Is there a specific channel firefox? [03:41] oholiab: ah k. no worries. [03:41] nightrid3r, ok it's finishing d/l [03:41] blueeagle: you mean setup (hd#) in grub? yes [03:41] ferdostar: #firefox [03:41] fernandof: did you try #firefox ? [03:41] runderwo, should i take out my acpi-force and irqpoll arguements? [03:41] oholiab: but i did state that it would be more resource intensive above aswell ;) [03:41] #firefox [03:41] gerinych: Do you have a separate /boot partition? [03:41] nightrid3r, extract it [03:42] Tyrath: yeah, I was typing it at the same time as you I think :P [03:42] marine: yes [03:42] hellhound_: probably doesn't matter. [03:42] fernandof: That would be /join #firefox [03:42] my computer is running slow what can i do to make faster [03:42] Thx all [03:42] oholiab: haha [03:42] nightrid3r, done now burn to disk [03:42] marine: yes [03:42] blueeagle: i have a linux-swap partition if that's what you mean [03:42] nightrid3r, dvd or cd [03:43] dang it's hard to get a question ansered in here with this many people [03:43] Tyrath: I should probably stop nitpicking at what people are saying and start trying to be useful instead *facepalm* [03:43] gustavo: add RAM [03:43] gerinych: No, a partition mounted on the folder /boot. Did you create one spesifically for that purpous and is it mounted when you attempt to re-install grub? [03:43] actually, there's a thought... how would you burn to disk through shell? [03:43] @runderwo When rhythmbox opens the music does not play. [03:43] homeskillet: It's possible no one knows the answer to your question. [03:43] i have 2GB [03:43] crashsystems: Does it pretend to play? Does the counter advance? [03:43] blueeagle: no [03:43] anyone up for a game of http://storage.casualcollective.com/games/minions.v3.swf ? [03:44] marine: cd [03:44] @runderwo it does not advance [03:44] gustavo: check the running processes [03:44] gerinych: Have you confirmed that /boot/grub/menu.lst contains what you expect it to contain? [03:44] ok writing now [03:44] oholiab: hehe. it's good to ensure people stay on topic though. generally i prefer to pick the ones that leave off names, etc to pick at. and I let ubottu handle the talk [03:44] nightrid3r, writing now [03:44] Using FIREFOX I can not type text in my windows under hotmail to send messages ... I can type addreses and all other stuff, but not into the tex window ... Anyone knows what could i do? [03:44] crashsystems: Try using something like amarok or grip to "rip" the cd. Since that uses the same mechanism, that may tell you if amarok is the problem.

[03:45] homeskillet: Did you attempt to supply your 40/64-bit key when asked for the 40/128-bit key? [03:45] linuxman410: Alrighty, I'll try that then [03:45] linuxman410: Thankies for your help :d [03:45] blueeagle: other than that, nothing suspicious === aa is now known as Guest4930 [03:46] nightrid3r, done ro [03:46] Tyrath: It's very basic. You need some frontend like k3b to make it easier to use. [03:46] @runderwo When I open sound juicer, the audio preview works [03:46] your welcome [03:46] gerinych: Then I am afraid that I don't know. :/ [03:46] marine: boot from the cd [03:46] Tyrath: I used to use cdrecord I think [03:46] runderwo: and from a I'm trying to conserve resources perspective?

[03:47] marine: yes [03:47] Tyrath: shell [03:47] Jazzy_J: only one program running and the other ones sleeping [03:47] Tyrath: If you're trying to conserve resources, the best thing to do is use wodim at a command line.

The Show desktop hotkey i set isn't working [03:47] what drive format i shold chose when install ubuntu? [03:47] oholiab: ah cool. [03:47] nightrid3r, a file ox just poped up [03:47] @runderwo I can tell playback works (because of the soundjuicer test), but I want it to play in rhythmbox [03:47] Is there any reason why an arbitrary program could not bind to a TCP port (10010) when run as a normal user, but can do so when run as root? (ubuntu 8.04.1) [03:47] homeskillet: If I understand it correctly you are attempting to use WPA, right?

[03:48] yep [03:48] what drive format i shold chose when install ubuntu? [03:48] @runderwo thanks for your help [03:48] runderwo: i'm aiming for something really low resource. prefereably no gui [03:48] marine: reboot the pc and start from the pmagic cd [03:49] BlueEagle wep [03:49] hello. I'm trying to set up an email server using Webmin. I tried ebox but it killed my server. [03:49] runderwo: i hate the speed difference between GUI progs and shell progs [03:49] Tyrath: cdrecord appears to be part of my install [03:49] i guess i wont use wep then [03:49] Tyrath: xcdroast is pretty fast. [03:49] nightrid3r, then i could use gparted or parrted magic [03:49] Tyrath: But the fastest is to use mkisofs and wodim/cdrecord yourself, obviously. :-) [03:49] marine: yes [03:49] oholiab: mine too. just tried man. thanks! [03:50] hello. I'm trying to set up an email server using Webmin. I tried ebox but it killed my server. Could someone walk me through configuring the necessary pieces? [03:50] dsevigny: webmin isn't supported [03:50] !webmin | dsevigny [03:50] dsevigny: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [03:50] where do i Install ndiswrapper from source? [03:50] rencx: ext3 is the most popular file system. It is quite robust and backwards compatible with ext2. Since you're asking this question you would most likely not benifit much from choosing a different filesystem as the benifits of each are very uasge related. Ie. some perform much better on large but few files while others excell at handling many small ones. [03:50] well ebox killed my server. so I'd rather stick with it [03:50] nightrid3r, all right thanks foe the help is there anything i should know???? [03:50] runderwo: I'm more worried about the ROM than RAM. ie, the space it takes up on the disk [03:50] Does anyone have any suggestions (besides gparted) on partitioning applications? [03:50] homeskillet: You are aware of the inherent security flaw that using wep entails, right? [03:50] marine: no [03:50] Can anyone help me determine why my display takes anywhere from 30 secs to 5 min to wake up? [03:51] where do i Install ndiswrapper from source? [03:51] anyone can help me about my wireless?i dont remember how to pastebin [03:51] iit says Install ndiswrapper from source. but i'm not sure how [03:51] !pastebin | clarks [03:51] clarks: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:51] nightrid3r, no as in everything is straight forard [03:51] my automounting just stopped working [03:51] !wireless | clarks [03:51] actually there's a thought [03:51] clarks: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:51] I don't know why [03:51] I didn't change anything [03:51] Hello - trying to use xchat (IRC) - it's not connecting to any servers [03:51] Tyrath: xcdroast only depends on GTK and xlibs, in case you already have those. [03:51] would anyone know how to set up sendmail [03:51] someone help me dang it... [03:51] ha [03:51] BlueEagle how much harder is it to set up wpa in linux than wep? [03:52] marine: yes [03:52] iit says Install ndiswrapper from source. but i'm not sure how! [03:52] JoshPilcer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ [03:52] homeskillet, It's just as easy [03:52] homeskillet: Well it entails installing wpa-supplicant and adding one line to /etc/network/interfaces [03:52] !wpa [03:52] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:52] nightrid3r, allright bro i owe you [03:52] runderwo: i like the challenge of remembering the shell commands for programs. also if i use the commands a lot i tend to things a lot faster than on the gnome apps [03:53] homeskillet: It should be described in the wifidocs iirc. [03:53] marine: np [03:53] Can anyone help me determine why my display takes anywhere from 30 secs to 5 min to wake up? [03:53] should i do wpa or wpa2? [03:53] Tyrath: gives you a better understanding of how the system works too [03:53] runderwo: i think i have the GTK libs, not too sure about the xlibs [03:53] homeskillet: Anything that's not wep and unsecured will do. [03:53] Tyrath: GTK depends on xlibs :-) [03:54] oholiab: well. yeah I'm borrowing a book on C++ for that sort of stuff ;) [03:54] homeskillet: It may boil down to what your wireless access point supports but I would imagine that wpa2 would be better than wpa [03:54] I have a question. What does Grub's "Error 2" refer to, normally? [03:54] blueeagle: is it of any difference that when i uninstalled grub2 from synaptic, i did a removal, not a complete removal? [03:54] runderwo: which i guess means i have both then ;) [03:54] homeskillet, either wpa or wpa2 will work, but be sure to use a long random key. [03:54] gerinych: I do not know. [03:54] runderwo: how do you know this stuff btw? [03:54] blueeagle: okay then, thanks [03:55] Tyrath: Like a pair of pants accumulates lint. [03:55] runderwo: so how long have you been using unix/linux ? [03:55] evowill: I may be wrong but isn't the key hashed in any case? [03:55] Can anyone help me determine why my display takes anywhere from 30 secs to 5 min to wake up? [03:55] Tyrath: offtopic, but I first installed slack in 96. [03:56] Does anyone have any suggestions (besides gparted) on partitioning applications? [03:56] lostchild: It would be helpfull to know how well it sleeps. [03:56] I was always told Gparted [03:56] runderwo: I started with slack as well :) I found dependencies to be a problem that made me want to shoot myself though [03:56] And to burn it to a live Cd and not run it in a OS [03:56] BlueEagle, wpa can still be brute forced, offline even, so it has to be long enough and random enough to make sure that it wouldn't happen in the time that you keep the key [03:56] runderwo: ahh cool. sorry to go offtopic :/ [03:56] pentaside: Are you running any form of raid? [03:57] BlueEagle, thanks just trying to get a response. It doesn't sleep. Only the monitor is put to sleep. I can't seem to get suspend or hibernate to work properly. [03:57] Can someone PLEASE help me set up an email server [03:57] Is anybody successfully using Jack without PulseAudio?

[03:58] pentaside: Then GParted is the most robust partition manager in my experience. There is a QT-frontend but I've found it to be less stable. [03:58] pentraside , no idea sorry. Im still a novice. [03:58] is there a command I can run which is roughly equivalent to "shutdown -h 30" but which will suspend instead of halt?

Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [03:59] BlueEagle, That would be my guess, but I can't seem to find any obvious errors in the logs. [03:59] Tyrath, can that be used for suspend-to-RAM and can I introduce the same delay that is possible with shutdown? [03:59] Tyrath: what in particular are you having prolems with? [03:59] is there a way to set the size of a preview icon on the desktop -- they seem to be larger than actual icons... [03:59] I saw someone said PartedMagic though, I'll give that a try. [03:59] oholiab: I can't log into su [04:00] I can't seem to get this configured and these danged tutorials are confusing me.... I keep getting told by evolution that the connection was refused when i try to check the pop3 for mail. [04:00] Tyrath: are you doing su or sudo su? [04:00] oholiab: as in, my pass fails [04:00] dsevigny: There is ALOT of reading you need to do before attempting to set up a mail server. One of the most important things you should read up on before even installing the software is how to secure it so you do not set up an open relay. [04:00] oh [04:00] oholiab: su [04:00] Tyrath: do sudo su [04:00] do NOT use 'sudo su' use 'sudo -s' [04:00] :) [04:00] oholiab: ahh cool thanks [04:00] dsevigny , no sorry. [04:00] su why was that? [04:01] !mail [04:01] mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com [04:01] !postfix [04:01] postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu.

The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA [04:01] Is there a way to su into root in ubuntu? [04:01] :D [04:01] Tyrath: that confused the hell out of me when I first used ubuntu... I think it's just because the distro is supposed to be aimed at desktop users so generally speaking they won't actually create a root account but should be able to perform things with root permissions [04:01] !su | poseidon [04:01] poseidon: 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) [04:02] Tyrath, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [04:02] poseidon, sudo su [04:02] poseidon, use 'sudo -s' not 'sudo su' [04:02] dsevigny: did you install a pop3 server or only an mta [04:02] rconan: i just checked the code on hibernate.sh. it doesn't appear to accept any command line input from shell. but i'm no expert on shell script code... [04:02] poseidon, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [04:02] .most every program does "Starting Program" then nothing happens [04:02] anyone have any ideas? [04:02] After burning an ISO to a CD using an ISO BURNER and to install it from startup you change the boot sequence to CDROM. Thats all rite. And it should start? [04:03] Question: How can I enable / add repositories so I can access software like xchat? === travis is now known as Guest2661 [04:03] Tyrath, I got a way now I think [04:03] xxCody: yes [04:03] Dr_willis: should use -i [04:03] Thanks. [04:03] poseidon: By default the root account is disabled in Ubuntu. This is argued as being a security measure. The effectiveness of this is debatable but my view is that not having a root account gives any potential attackers one less known target to attempt to exploit. [04:03] Cpudan80, depends. :) at least dont use sudo su :) [04:03] just gonna do a command-line wait then the command here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410570 [04:03] Currently REREADING documents. I have all the modules installed. It's the configuration that's loopin me [04:03] rconan: just curious. why do you want to put a delay on suspend? [04:03] Dr_willis: I guess it does depened yeah [04:04] Dr_willis: but right - anything but sudo su! Anything but that! === pentaside is now known as Sudo [04:04] BlueEagle: On the other hand, user account passwords tend to be much weaker than root passwords. [04:04] My problem is my wireless is detech..some time not detech..im using intell chipset...anyoen know how to configure it? [04:04] nightrid3r , when the ISO is burnt should it include a checksum on the UBUNTU ISO but after burning it , the cd had a second file on it call checksum.md.5 [04:04] lol [04:04] Cpudan80, i got my root user with their own customiuzed .bashrc and stuff.. so i often dont want them to be usign the users settings.. but it depends. :) [04:04] Tyrath, so I can watch a video, get in bed and the computer will sleep when it finishes [04:04] Quick, someone tell me to do something... [04:04] sudo get me a beer [04:04] sudo apt-get install humour [04:04] xxCody: you burnt a data cd, not an iso image [04:04] hi, is there something like 'nettop' for ubuntu? im looking for a small prog that shows open network connections and their bandwidth usage [04:04] rconan: you know i never thought about it but that is an awesome idea! might try it one of these days [04:05] Dr_willis: so sudo su doesn't change to root environment variables?

[04:05] I have a question. What does Grub's "Error 2" refer to, normally? [04:05] I need to determine where my problem with acpi lies. Can anyone give me a place to start. I need to find out if my restricted Nvidia drivers are the source of my suspend woes.

[04:06] Question: How can I change permissions on an internal partition so that it is automatically mounted with write permissions? [04:07] codingnew, totally depends on the filesystem of the partition - for one thing [04:07] i got the file ndiswrapper. how do i install it? [04:07] xxCody: try mount -o -loop -t iso9660 .iso [04:07] xxCody, and there are links there for verifying that the burn was successful, and also on booting from the CD [04:07] runderwo: Think of the sudo-enabled users as salt in an encryption string. The salt itself does not provide any cryptographic advantage, but instead of just having the password you also need to have the salt. In this case a correct user name. [04:07] JoshPilcer: did you install ndiswrapper with apt-get? [04:07] codingnew: put the rw option in the fstab entry for that mount point.

[04:09] lol [04:09] Dr_willis: so I just need to change the permission on the files? I don't need to worry about making changes in fstab? [04:09] pandaking, you have checked the program homepages and docs? [04:09] clarks: That depends on which module you attempt to load.

[04:21] nightrid3r, but if i have commands after it they will still run? [04:21] evowill: ah it's too bad they dont just add it to the install GUI like Fedora does [04:21] speedy: the cd itself doesn't come with games, but you can download games fairly easy [04:21] tsrk: yes [04:22] is there a command to tell what other users are on my network? [04:22] how do i run things through the terminal for example.. if i wanted to run xchat [04:22] nightrid3r, ok, thank you very much!

[04:23] cj: heh really? I just did firefox and it worked :P [04:23] shd I update? [04:23] cj: no just firefox, firefox-bin should not be run directly [04:23] hi [04:23] * cj hides [04:24] FernandoF: did you install it recently or download any updates? [04:24] looking for a graphical diff view, any suggestion? (Beyond Compare like) [04:24] speedy, 3d games, not by default, but you can install === binarymutt_ is now known as binarymutt [04:24] WHAT [04:24] nbeebo: you need the libx11-dev package [04:24] evowill :S but its not to install ubuntu I want , just live cd [04:24] user_3: diff -u? :) [04:25] how do i install a .deb file from my home documents with terminal?? [04:25] hi, every people [04:25] i am on an acer aspire one netbook and just installed kde4.1 on an ubuntu 8.10 installation but my resolution is wrong, how can i change that? [04:25] FernandoF: what I usually do in a situation like that is uninstall the package and then re-install it, but I can't guarantee that will solve your problem [04:25] I had a version ok some 6 months ago, and it occured after updates and it only happens under hotmail and not other email providers [04:25] nightrid3r, hey bro did exactly as you said found it in the advance mode set to noot up in cd pressed enter f10 to save and it still didn;t boot up in cd [04:25] Yes, but you can still install software on the live system, granted it will only be for that session, and you are limited by swap space if you have it and RAM [04:25] sheep, thank you very much [04:25] JoshPilcer: would that be the dpkg command? however i'm not sure it's always a good idea; what are you trying to accomplish? [04:26] oholiab, I can try that [04:26] nightrid3r, iam missing something [04:26] marine, take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD [04:26] cj: Looking for Graphical, Beond Compare highlights colors, recognizes important and unimportant changes [04:26] oholiab, what could be console sequence to make that? [04:26] how can I downgrade flash player ? I have the file but I do not know where it goes? [04:26] FernandoF: other than that I'm out of ideas, because it could be any number of conflicts... I had one with Java a while ago, and it killed my firefox back button [04:26] evowill: Hmmm when I had full disk encryption I had no problems with anything and I'm a noob. :) [04:27] phixxor it said i needed to install build-essential. and i found a .deb file from ubuntu. and i have to install it that way since sudo apt-get doesn't work [04:27] FernandoF: sudo apt-get remove firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox [04:27] should do it [04:27] I read somewhere it could be a fight against software free ... to avoid the use of Firefox [04:27] how do i get applications through the terminal [04:27] But I think it is not [04:27] eseven73, ah yes, but you are only 1 of billions of people on this planet :-) [04:27] is it sudo get-apt program goes here? [04:27] ya [04:27] FernandoF: and god will smite thee for touching a windows machine, too. [04:28] sudo apt-get program [04:28] Gobby: 'sudo apt-get install program' [04:28] Gobby: sudo apt-get install [04:28] whoops forgot the install [04:28] JoshPilcer: build-essential.deb deppends on other debs, use apt-get install build-essentials [04:28] and also it keeps droping my signal so if u told me the solution i didnt get it cause my conntion drop [04:28] could someone help [04:28] what's the command to see what's using the sound card? For some reason my sound doesn't work [04:28] everyone forgets the 'install' part of 'sudo apt-get install program' haha [04:28] hum ...unable to resolve host [04:28] eseven73: more often than you'd believe ;) [04:29] thank you all very much for your support, i'm really trying to learn anything, its a night and day difference from linux to windows [04:29] anyone knows any nice multi player game for ubuntu ?????? [04:29] nightrid3r it always says E: couldn't find the package build-essentials [04:29] gobby: clamscan -ri /path/to/scan [04:29] FernandoF: what, when you do apt-get? [04:29] gobby: that should do it. [04:29] JoshPilcer: no 's' at the end of that [04:29] alright first i have to get the program [04:29] JoshPilcer: lemme check [04:29] FernandoF: you should probably ask the rest of the channel now because I need to go to bed [04:29] you can hotswap a monitor without frying the graphics card or the monitor right? [04:29] fyi: meld [04:29] JoshPilcer: tab completion FTW [04:30] i know it doesn't work with a 's' or without [04:30] any multiplayer game for linux ?

[04:30] ah, thanks BlueEagle [04:30] nephlim: I do not recomend doing it as it _may_ lead to damage. [04:30] Question: Where can I find a firefox 3.1 package? [04:30] JoshPilcer: sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:30] whats the exact name of the program? [04:30] yeah i don't think i will, new monitor and all [04:30] thanks for the help [04:30] ok ...I go to bed as well and will solve it another day ...It is not the first time I come for help about this ...

[04:31] how can I downgrade flash player ? I have the file but I do not know where it goes? [04:31] jrattner1: Until then you can compile from source or see if there is one on the firefox home page. [04:32] Hi, I accidentally removed my icons (Network, bluetooth, battery, etc.) how do I add them back? [04:32] to the top toolbar [04:32] BlueEagle, how about an SSL enabled version of Thunderbird? [04:32] jrattner1: I do not recomend compiling from source unless you know how to recover a broken system. However you'll never learn how to recover a broken system if you never break one. So it all comes down to one question: Do you feel lucky? [04:32] hey how do I install the php spl? [04:32] Berzerker, right click, add to panel [04:32] nightrid3r i keep getting E: couldn't find package build-essential [04:32] 100gb HDD, 55gb set up for Ubuntu 8.10, 45gb for windows ....It's been almost 3 weeks since it was partitioned this way..

[05:07] HunterRequiem: sounds like you have a bad resolution in your xorg.conf (or whatever it's called) [05:07] Rolls 15 6-sided dice: 4 4 5 4 3 5 4 3 5 3 4 3 2 4 2 [05:07] HunterRequiem: can you run xf86config? [05:07] cj: I'd have to reboot, but sure, I can write that down. [05:08] Jack i could not find that room for wine...its not in my list [05:08] weltpopeltag, wrong channel I think [05:08] HunterRequiem: not that... let me find the correct command [05:08] cj: All right. [05:08] Gautam: try #winehq === Semidios_ is now known as Semidios [05:08] where can i find a list of printable commands for the terminal?

[05:09] ack totally missed that [05:09] HunterRequiem: I don't know what the auto-config tool is called these days, but look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and ... yeah, what nightrid3r said [05:10] nightrid3r: all right then.

I connected my digital camera to my Ubuntu PC, and I can open and import photos using F-Spot, but nowhere in F-Spot do I see the tools for, e.g., cropping the image or changing brightness, etc. (as show, e.g., here: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/02/21/flipping-the-linux-switch-quick-and-easy-photo-management-with/print). I've tried looking through the menus, but there's nowhere obvious to enable these additional tools (I [05:10] do have View->Components->Toolbar checked). What do I have to do to get the tools to appear? [05:10] jkoltner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:13] sdlwof: luckily, you have ln -s :) [05:14] cj, i don't get it? [05:14] good. I think its kinda stupid that the help sections ferer to the codename if its not visible in the OS as cleasr as the version number. Iven the software download does not mention that codename [05:14] so um hows windows 7 compared to ubuntu?

Under the Edit menu I only have Rotate Left/Right, but nothing for cropping/brightness adjustment/etc. [05:15] wastrel: the page you told me is about a package that does not seem to exist (localeconf) [05:15] Hello [05:15] How can I see the avrage upload download of a system?

[05:16] cj: Or kB/s, K/s [05:16] i have already asked in #vbox, but everything is a bit quiet there atm :) [05:16] cj: 10 minutes? [05:16] www.speakeasy.net/speedtest to test your connection speed [05:16] confusedbylinux: what do you want to know? [05:17] wastrel it says there that the package did not exist in gutsy, so seems to be quite old [05:17] www.speedtest.net have servers all over the world for test your speed. results are real. [05:17] confusedbylinux: I need to know how much it average actually consumes at bittorrent. [05:17] energY: try iptraf [05:17] I can pretty much fumble around the GUI but wanna know some begginer command line stuff to take full advantage of linux [05:18] found it :) (clonevdi) [05:18] see you guys later :) [05:18] confusedbylinux , thats a nice name i should of thought of that ;) [05:18] ies4linux ...what it is .. [05:18] confusedbylinux: it's taken me 15 years and I still learn something new every day. choose a project and learn what you need to know to complete it. why did you decide to try linux?

[05:19] Scubidus: what's your kernel log say about the crash? [05:19] jkoltner: double click image to enter edit mode [05:19] Scubidus: /var/log/kern.log, IIRC [05:19] i still think vmware is better then wine.... [05:19] (Running Ubuntu as a guest VM, under Windows Vista) If I can get to a website by IP only, but not by name (ie. www.google.com wont come up) Does that mean I have a DNS problem? How do I configure my DNS to work by name also? [05:19] mashtdi, "the flash 10 sound issue" never heard of it [05:19] Scubidus: use less - sudo less /var/log/kern.log [05:19] Scubidus: then you can look for the time of your last crash and look for messages related to it [05:19] Scubidus: /var/log/syslog is also useful [05:19] love computers, started on TRS80 color computer, and I am learning macs for job and wanna know linux, knowledge is power [05:19] k let me get back to you [05:20] confusedbylinux: okay. routing? development? graphic design? [05:20] Paddy_Eire, I have found a lot of threads on ubutnu forums about Flash 10 not piping through audio [05:20] I am also having this proble, [05:20] Can anyone help me my computer seems to be stuck at GRUB (typing this on alternate machine). [05:21] marabout: perhaps. what does GRUB tell you? [05:21] atom^x: Thanks, I did that but it doesn't display the tool icons. :-( (The "edit image" button at the top of the window is shown as depressed.) [05:21] marabout: are you at a '>' prompt or a text console with a line selected?

Want to help me write a 3d modeler? [05:24] OK, different problem... if I leave my PC on for a few days, starting Firefox will completely lock up the GUI (Gnome). I can still telnet in from another machine and access shared drives, etc., but Gnome (and X11, I guess) seem completely dead... Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is ignored, Ctrl+Alt+F2 does nothing, etc. [05:24] cj: is it normally to be in Bash immediately after installing Ubuntu (hardy alt disc)? [05:24] cj: *normal [05:24] I've tried selectively killing off various processes from a telnet session, but I can't get X11 to re-start (the closest I've come is getting the display to just turn to garbage after killing X11). [05:24] marabout: depends :) [05:24] Any idea what the problem might be? [05:25] marabout: probably not, though. Did you have to log in? [05:25] hello, I'm back.

[05:27] wastrel: hey i need to write a program for creating a new workspace.. not using right click stuff [05:27] atom^x: As far as I can tell, yes... although probably at least 90% of the time when I sit back down at the PC, FireFox is the first thing I run. I did leave FireFox running for awhile indefinitely (rather than starting it new) once and then the desktop locked up after I clicked a link.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [05:31] cj: yes [05:31] !minimal | Roland- [05:31] Roland-: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:31] Still, in general Firefox is great... I switched to it on the Windows machines I use as well.

[05:33] then that ltsp is the way to go [05:33] cj: yes [05:34] keithclark: another way would be a whole mess of NFS === izibi_ is now known as izibi [05:34] (Network file shares) [05:34] but that would get slow and complicated I think [05:34] Dr_willis, that by no stretch of the imagination approaches best :) [05:34] nickrud, depends on the tasks :) [05:34] guys my firefox is messed up because of an add-on, how can I start it without loading the addon? [05:34] this Linux stuff is fun, everything I read about it is so confusing (grub, pidgin, tgz, blah blah blah) everything is so cryptic,,, and like speaking a foreign language [05:34] Cpudan80: I just want the clients to boot from the server automatically upon power up [05:35] HunterRequiem: Looks like this is the bug for you. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/274234 [05:35] confusedbylinux, if you had never seen a windows machine and had to learn what C: D: and mouse ment.. the same would apply [05:35] tokyoahead: firefox -safe-mode [05:35] jkoltner: i like ff as well. thereis a series of keystrokes to trcover control of pc when X is locked up [05:35] cj: That helps, but now what? Tells me nothing about fonts -- I want to change the system,window,etc fonts via a script rather than going through the GUI. [05:35] keithclark: then ltsp is the way to go [05:35] Agreed confusedbylinux.. i just downloaded and printed a refference sheet [05:35] would you like it? [05:35] oh i know, like i said its fun,,,.like learning new stuff [05:35] cj: I did the (hardy text-based) install got message saying remove disc reboot. Did that. Was given option of which OS at startup chose Ubuntu and landed here. Seems odd to me... [05:35] runderwo: thank you, I'll take a look at this [05:35] it shows commands/ and reference [05:36] cody what os you want to dual boot with [05:36] atom^x: There is a post by PMDemogada (I think that is how you spell it) -- it was a Tutorial of the Week that explained the keystrokes you need to enter to do this [05:36] Do anyone can help me Keyrings they started show up after restart. [05:36] atom^x: Id search the forums for this post [05:37] confusedbylinux here http://fosswire.com/2007/08/02/unixlinux-command-cheat-sheet/ click on the sheet to download it.. its very nice for reference [05:37] confusedbylinux: Sobell's "A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux" is a good book, if you're looking... it's quite thick, but if you go through it slowly but surely, within 3-6 months you'll be quite experienced. "Ubuntu Kung Fu" by Keir Thomas is also quite good if you're just looking for tricks to "get things done" rather than becoming a Linux expert. [05:37] 2 [05:38] Dont waste money buying a book -- Just begin playing with the system [05:38] kevdog: why can't you use the standard tools to change font?

[05:38] Use the forums and the IRS [05:38] Books at least provide a guided starting point kevdog [05:38] books are for people who can read : [05:38] marabout: did you go through the tasksel prompts? [05:38] You can't write a novel without knowing the alphabet. [05:38] I learned Linux almost entirely from tings found on Google lol [05:38] kevdog: Nothing wrong with playing, but I think it can be a slowly way to really understand a system than to use a more methodical approach than a book provides. Certainly different methods of learning work best for different people, of course. [05:38] what about us illiterates [05:38] wastrel, ++1 [05:39] if you go through a book you'll have a better overall view [05:39] cj: entering those commands only produces the "command not found" message [05:39] thanks jkoltner and gobby [05:39] if you self-teach you can miss huge chunks of useful stuff [05:39] ;3B [05:39] cj: Im using enlightenment now -- however prior to that metacity,gnome. I found that all gnome apps on my very old machine (it worked with the Feisty kernel) the fonts become corrupted to the point of non-readability about every 10 minutes. if I change the fonts, they suddenly become readable [05:40] Theres plenty of guides and even many free Linux books on the internet. [05:40] kevdog: I do agree that forums and IRC are some of the best resources out there for getting help... that's the downside of a book and, e.g., the "man" pages... you can't ask them questions and have them give you a response. :-) [05:40] marabout: uhrm... what happens when you 'sudo apt-get install tasksel'? [05:40] kevdog: try control-panel from the command prompt?

It now says Users, instead of my username, and when I click on it, instead of getting Shut Down, Reboot etc., I get nothing. Can someone please tell me the name of it, so I can apt-get install it? [05:42] Dr_willis: thanks! I'm helping someone else, and don't want to give miskaken instructions [05:43] confusedbylinux: you might also check out http://www.scribd.com where you can download pdf's of some ubuntu books.. just search for ubuntu [05:43] Rencx: if you want to disable that when you log in you can remove it from your session [05:43] In the Terminal, how do you for example run mozilla firefox straight through the terminal so it has the CLI and not the GUI i want to look at the oldschool side of things [05:43] cool thx [05:43] Rencx: System > Preferences > Sessions find the keyring item and uncheck [05:43] Gobby, you mean use a text browser? [05:43] wastrel, that would not be a very good idea [05:43] Gobby, firefox & [05:43] yes nick [05:44] Paddy_EIRE: what will it break? [05:44] Gobby, thats lynx [05:44] What programs evaluate the /etc/default/acpi-support file's content? [05:44] Gobby, links elinks links2 lynx are all text browsers you can install [05:44] whats the command? [05:44] oh. [05:44] Gobby, sudo apt-get install lynx [05:44] I see, thanks guys :), love this community [05:44] lynx is really hard to use [05:45] wastrel, I typically stick with recommended defaults.. especially when its security related.. removing it from start up just because it "shows up" is like shooting a fly with a rocket [05:45] kevdog: what do you recommend instead? [05:45] If there were no flash or jpegs it would be a lot easier [05:45] the problem is thet it asks my ld password [05:45] Rencx, how is that a problem [05:45] links -g -> can show images in the framebuffer :) [05:45] Wait another question isnt possible to run like xchat through the terminal?. [05:45] where it also has the CLI [05:45] wastrel: I wish I knew -- what do you want to do? wget is good for downloading links directly [05:45] Gobby, irssi -> text based irc client [05:45] Gobby, that would be irssi , the most comon one [05:46] Okey, thanks again! [05:46] hello? [05:46] Gobby, and if you really wanna get old school, get mutt and read your mail there. [05:46] lynx, links, w3m 3 text browsers. [05:46] does this chat room talk about ubuntu? [05:46] fuck you [05:46] How about pine? [05:46] helo, this is the support channel [05:46] i log in ubuntu and then show up keyring asking for older password and for wireles wpa [05:46] pine is email oui? mutt is better <3 [05:46] !id | jonri [05:46] jonri: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [05:46] Rencx, everytime? [05:46] i need to monitor my CPU temps and I can't figure out how to install any programs. maybe i'm trying the wrong ones [05:47] jonri: please keep it family-friendly here [05:47] almoust [05:47] Where is like ¨general discussion for ubuntu¨ ? [05:47] The website for ubuntu dual boot does not explain what i need it to. [05:47] !ot | Gobby [05:47] Gobby: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:47] pine is kickin' it old school! [05:47] every time after restart [05:47] Im installing ubuntu on another machine. [05:47] CLI xchat... hmmm that is a good idea actually *me emails xchat's dev(team)* [05:47] Rencx, hmm.. and when you enter the details normally does it connect without issue? [05:47] fuck you [05:47] xxCody, install ubuntu, let the installer install grub.. it makes a menu you use to boot... [05:47] any Virtualbox users? Is there an 'addon' pack, so the mouse controls, etc... are more manageable ? [05:47] kevdog: alpine is a fancier version apparently. i haven't tried it since i switched to mutt and all my pine-fu is forgotten [05:47] anyone know how i can check my CPU temps? please! [05:48] before it was ok [05:48] Im at the prepare partitions screen in manual. And im trying to see what partitions are what [05:48] pr0fXavier, you did install the virtualbox guest additions ? [05:48] but it only says sda1-3 [05:48] pr0fXavier: you have to install the vboxadditions to get better mouse control [05:48] Dr_Willis_ZNC wont install [05:48] !tasksel [05:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about tasksel [05:48] i just restarted log in and i can work [05:48] Rencx, can you tell me what you have perhaps done in between it working an not working? [05:48] never heard of alpine -- might have to look at it -- face it I use gmail period [05:48] i changed password [05:48] ah [05:48] Rencx, that would be it [05:48] Rencx, on moment please [05:48] CAPITAL LETTERS!!! I NEED A CPU TEMPERATURE MONITOR PLEASE! [05:48] Dr_Willis_ZNC seems the 'CD' has only OS2/Windows installation files on it [05:49] kevdog: alpine supports imap, so you can use it with your gmail box :] [05:49] helo, dont shout.. have patience also [05:49] pr0fXavier: what is the guest that you need to install the additions on? [05:49] pr0fXavier, its installed here fine for me with Ubuntu running in virtualbox under windows...

Can anybody help me? [05:49] I just need to setup an outgoing smtp server to relay outgoing mail so I can use Mixmaster [05:49] helo: have you tried lmsensors?? [05:49] i tried that [05:49] does anyone know of a safe repository for kismet? [05:49] using x sensors [05:49] cody what os you using [05:49] What is easiest - postfix? [05:49] pr0fXavier, i would update yoru version of virtualbox if you are not using the latest. the cd DOES have a linux.run file on it. [05:49] I'd rather talk in a Private Message.. Too much traffic. [05:49] hmmm, I wonder, Ill let the updates finish first, then I will try it again [05:50] Windows now. [05:50] On that other ocmputer Vista [05:50] which version [05:50] k [05:50] I don't know how to reply to people specifically in red. [05:50] helo , red [05:50] type their name. [05:50] helo, you just put the nick at the front [05:50] * Dr_Willis_ZNC says this is an action however helo :) not the same [05:51] Can anyone help me get from bash shell into ubuntu desktop? [05:51] marabout: startx [05:51] kevdog: postfix is pretty easy but i moved my domain to google apps so i don't have to mess with that sort of thing anymore. mail nowadays is really best done by professionals. [05:51] nightrid3r i tried lm sensrs but its hard to figure out this install process [05:51] Rencx, could you please try this first http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/ [05:51] IMHO, of course [05:51] marabout: ctrl+alt+F7 if gdm is running [05:51] kevdog: "startx" not found [05:51] distinctblur red [05:52] helo: try sudo apt-get install lmsensors [05:52] wastrel: I need to send mixmaster messages from my computer and relay them through google's smtp server. I just need a relay [05:52] Paddy_EIRE it also make my wireles not work [05:52] thanks again Dr_Willis_ZNC [05:52] marabout, you did install ubuntu? or just the server edition? [05:52] Rencx, it would not be wise to remove the keyring for something so trivial.. yet it is annoying [05:52] nightrid3r i have done that already [05:52] Rencx, try that first [05:52] scunizi_: not sure if gdm is running as I just install (hardy text-based) and after reboot I landed at Bash [05:52] kevdog: postfix is pretty simple yeah, and easy to configure smarthost [05:52] Dr_Willis_ZNC: I just had to su and install from the media [05:52] Dr_Willis_ZNC: Ubuntu (hardy alt CD text-based) [05:53] wastrel: You'd recommend postfix or something else? [05:53] helo: i have never used lmsensors so thats as far as my help goes [05:53] confusedbylinux [05:53] Rencx, you see by default the keyring associates your user password along with the keyring password.. as far as I know that has been depreciated but it seems to be what you are suffering with [05:53] pr0fXavier, yes. the install script needs tobe ran with root privilages. :) I always copy the installer files to the virtualmachine. so i dont need the cd later.. if i have to reinsatll the addons [05:53] it says "E: Couldn't find package lmsensors" [05:53] kevdog: postfix is what i use by default normally, unless sendmail is required (mostly at work this happens) [05:53] You know that book, that guy was talking to you about? heres the pdf . :) http://www.scribd.com/doc/10137096/A-Practical-Guide-to-Ubuntu-Linux [05:53] nightrid3r "E: Couldn't find package lmsensors" is the error i get [05:54] Rencx, if that method fails we will try something else [05:54] Now Gobby, pirating that would be dishonest. *hides a copy in his jacket* [05:54] i need method with diferent passwords [05:54] Oh, i geuss it would be illegal, sorry hehe [05:54] Tekumel, that sites a legal way to publish books i think. :) [05:55] Oh, I'm not familiar with it. [05:55] Some guy suggested it, thought i would check it out [05:55] Tekumel: it is legal.. no piriates there. [05:55] Can anyone help me please? I set an encrypted password for Ubuntu that requires it to be typed in right at the very start. The only problem is I cannot for the life of me remember what it was. Is there anyway to get around that password or to reset it? [05:55] Rencx, you are not making much sense.. also look here http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/06/clearing-or-resetting-the-gnome-keyring/ [05:55] scunizi_: gdm must not be running as " ctrl+alt+F7" did not produce anything [05:55] anyone good with MPD and pulseaudio fixes? all the ones I found with google don't work! [05:55] BLKDVL, was that a grub password? [05:55] BLKDVL, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/06/clearing-or-resetting-the-gnome-keyring/ [05:55] does anyone have lots of experience with checking cpu temps in Ubuntu? [05:56] marabout: that typically means that your vid card isn't set up properly. Sorry can't diagnose that one. [05:56] Paddy_EIRE: Thank you. [05:56] :) [05:56] wastrel: Ive setup exim before ; Have you used this? [05:56] marabout: dpkg -l | grep ubuntu-desktop [05:56] kevdog: a long time ago - it was debian's default when i was using debian. [05:56] helo: yes, with lm-sensors [05:56] can anyone help me with kismet? [05:56] iirc.... exim is perfectly good but i seem to recall having trouble getting rewrites working from when i was handling my own domain mail. [05:56] Can anybody help me to resize or creat ( i dont know) a partition so i can dual boot ubuntu and vista rite now im at the ubuntu installation under prepare partitions in manual. [05:57] wastrel: Just wondering where to waste my time: postfix or exim [05:57] for something as simple as a smarthost relay it should be fine.

[05:58] good morning all [05:58] helo: you've already got it installed, then. type "sensors" at the command line [05:58] good... morning [05:58] kevdog: i would learn postfix if i were you i see it more often than exim and not just on my own machines [05:58] helo, now run "sensors-detect" [05:58] helo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780 [05:58] Paddy_EIRE: I can't even get to the GUI. I need a password for even that, which I forgot. I tried what it says for the Command Line Version but it said there was no such file for directory. [05:58] Myll, not morning at your place? :o [05:59] well technically it is, lol [05:59] go system: admin: partition tools, resize existing partition and leave ~ 20 gig free, then make the same size as your ram and call it 'swap' then make the rest 'ext3' . Then call that '/' (root) in the manual option in Ubuntu installer, call windows something like '/media/windows' (DO NOT FORMAT IT)... you're set to go [05:59] wastrel: entered that ( as all 1 command?) no messages error or otherwise [05:59] what is proper syntax to login to a remote machine through openssh?

[05:59] maybe the downturn in the economy will make more ppl think about linux for money reasons [05:59] wastrel: Cool!! Just got to get the mixmaster component setup after that!! Guess I should go one step at a time!! [05:59] helo, you where suggested many ways before [05:59] kameron: ssh -X @ [05:59] (i think) [05:59] marabout: that means you don't have it installed. you have a base system but no GUI installed currently. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and wait while it downloads a bunch of stuff [05:59] helo, scroll back and read the responses [05:59] Did anyone get what i said. I got disconnected.

[06:01] how do I list all the freespaces in my computer [06:01] kameron: you got the right ip address? [06:01] like all the partitions [06:01] ahah [06:01] i wanna find out how much space is left in /boot [06:01] Paddy_EIRE: what is a cli app? [06:01] confusedbylinux: Probably not your average home user -- they buy their PCs with the OS pre-installed, in the vast majority of cases -- but for some businesses it might [06:01] chronographer, i'm pretty sure. i emailed myself the ip just an hour ago from that machine. [06:01] du -h [06:01] chronographer, ugh, maybe ssh daemon isn't up. [06:01] cli app = command line application [06:01] disappearedng_: try : baobab [06:01] BLKDVL, ah.. have you seen this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3609.html === mitch_ is now known as Guest21975 [06:01] helo, command-line interface [06:02] oh i see so its not graphical any how [06:02] confusedbylinux: The real problem is that even at ~$50-$150, the cost of something like Windows is nothing compared to the cost of hiring an employee in the first place. You have to look at "total cost of ownership" for Linux vs. everything else, and there's endless arguments there over what's really cheaper to support. [06:02] kameron: if you install openssh server it should be always up [06:02] thanks guys!!!!! [06:02] dont forget port forwarding etc... [06:02] helo, one moment there are many graphical [06:02] confusedbylinux: It generally boils down to, "the lowest TCO is achieved by using the OS that your employees are already trained on" :-) [06:02] helo, and no problem :) [06:02] Paddy_EIRE: i'm still here [06:02] oh and try firestarter to open ports on the system you are getting on to. [06:02] * Dr_Willis_ZNC adds 'knows linux' to his resume. [06:03] does default WinFF installation apply align on sector boundaries, replay gain, or normalization?

[06:03] hmm, no WinFF tribesmen here [06:03] helo: i use conky and lmsensors for a graphical view of many things [06:04] marabout: ah! so what do you see when you do dpkg -l | grep ubuntu-desktop as one command? [06:04] chronographer, openssh-server is already the newest version. [06:04] openssh-server set to manually installed. [06:04] confusedbylinux, Also, even with more PC makers building Linux systems, they're NOT pushing those systems, so the average joe looking to buy a new computer won't see nonWindows PCs unless he is specifically looking for them. [06:04] wastrel: Yeah, tell me about it. I think it's a real shame that schools don't standardize on OO... while MSO certainly it nice and does have some advanced features that OO doesn't, I'm quite convinced that >90% of all work down in Word/Excel would just as readily be done in Write/Calc. [06:04] chronographer, soo it's downloaded but not installed i guess. [06:04] areyou on that machine? you can try connecting to yourself: ssh @localhost [06:04] much less abiword and gnumeric [06:04] Paddy_EIRE: will there be any time soon where installing in linux will be as easy as windows? a lot of this stuff is way complicated for me [06:04] if it is a local network, use ifconfig to find ip [06:05] !lnw | helo [06:05] helo: Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [06:05] What programs evaluate the /etc/default/acpi-support file's content? [06:05] helo, stick with what you know [06:05] Installing ubuntu IMO is easier than a WinXP install [06:05] yeah it is [06:05] kevdog: also takes 1/5 of the time [06:05] helo: that sheriff's already in town, and his name's Wine [06:05] got to thinking about trying linux again after reading on slashdot, how some lady got a dell computer with linux on it, instead of getting windows ,she cancelled 2 semesters of school :) [06:05] Maybe b/c Ive done it a lot [06:05] wastrel: nothing just a blinking cursor... [06:05] Samizdat, wrong answer :P [06:05] confusedbylinux: I loved that article [06:06] confusedbylinux: linux is easy, once you understand synaptic and can do google searches [06:06] Eh. [06:06] Paddy_EIRE: well i have to have ubuntu on this computer since i don't have another copy of windows. plus Linux runs SMP F@H better then Windows [06:06] marabout: that's a proper result if you don't have ubuntu-desktop installed. which means that you haven't got the GUI packages. [06:06] Right for me, my friend, right for me. [06:06] helo: Probably not. There is "one Linux," so while package managers tend to make it as easy to install applications as Windows does, if the software you're after hasn't been packaged yet, there's no trivial way for the programmers to hand you a "setup.exe" file. [06:06] chronographer: Google is hard... :) [06:06] helo, read that link I gave [06:06] chronographer, no i dont have physical access to the machine, it's across town [06:06] helo: Oops, that should say there is NO "one linux" [06:06] Its not just a winxp install that takes time --- then you have to download all the service pack updates, register or get around the registration, antivirus, firewall crap with windows [06:06] helo: E.g., general software is re-compiled on each distribution [06:06] helo, we certainly dont want linux to become as dumbed down as windows.. that would be a nightmare and I would quickly abandon ship [06:07] hi everyone [06:07] wastrel: man how is that possible when I did the install off the (alt) CD and at boot up it gave me a choice of which OS to chose, Ubuntu being one of them...? [06:07] What turns off Winfolk about Linfolk is the priesthood pretense. [06:07] best part about that article was that it was a TECHNICAL school she was attending [06:07] kameron: I'm no expert... there are a few variables, like I said to getting ssh access: ip of its router (isp connection to internet) then port forwardingto the machine from router, then the machine letting you in, then your username password. [06:07] Wine is the great bridge. [06:07] Paddy_EIRE: will read. i think i'll need both [06:07] marabout, thats the grub boot loader/menu. [06:07] because Linux is free [06:07] Samizdat, naa.. that is normally just people who cant do things for themselves [06:08] marabout: the gui is an extra component to the linux system it's not necessary for a fully functioning system [06:08] Wine sux IMO [06:08] hello folks [06:08] marabout: so you can boot the computer and run the command line programs [06:08] Paddy_EIRE: it won't ever become dumbed down.. Maybe made easier for those that need it simpler but for the pwr user, access will always be there.. to many hackers to let a locked system stay that way :) [06:08] is there a package for kernel 2.6.28 out yet? [06:08] Samizdat: That's becoming less of a problem/challenge over time... there are plenty of Linux people who don't feel that knowing which command-line options aren't used by 'ls' is requisite before you're given a login name on a Linux box. :-) [06:08] Samizdat, like dealing with their own inadequacies.. I read and learn just like everyone else [06:08] speaking of wine, what is the best version of ms office to use in wine? (I need to open a spreadsheet and OO.o doesn't display it right...) [06:08] Aye, Father Paddy McEire, aye [06:08] chronographer, yeah i know what you're saying. i didn't really check out the deal before i left. might be behind a router and need port forwarding. [06:08] marabout: but sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should get all the normal GUI stuff installed for you. [06:08] Scunizi, :) [06:08] thanks again too all [06:09] Samizdat, careful [06:09] i'm out for now [06:09] :) [06:09] chronographer: get a windows machine :) [06:09] wastrel: chalk up a big DUH for marabout. ok let me try that [06:09] chronographer: Running Windows under a virtual machine might be your best bet. VMware is good, although not free. [06:10] if you install new drivers and they mess up, how do you go back to the default config and get the gui again/ [06:10] yeah. I have a XP VM in virtualbox its fine [06:10] there is a free Vmware server [06:10] i need to test oulook for work so i've been meaning to set up an xp vm [06:10] new *video drivers [06:10] I highly recommend Virtualbox [06:10] I'd go with SUNS VirtualBox myself [06:10] I thought VMware and Virtualbox were free [06:11] its a 20mbdownload, open source and free (most of it is open source) [06:11] Some vmware is free, some versions are not [06:11] kevdog: The VMware "player" is free, but to create a *new* virtual machine requires the non-free version [06:11] hi [06:11] By mistake I removed via apt-get remove the top right section of the screen's functionality. It now says Users, instead of my username, and when I click on it, instead of getting Shut Down, Reboot etc., I get nothing. Can someone please tell me the name of it, so I can apt-get install it? [06:11] wastrel: after typing : "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-deskttop" command is repeated and then just a blinking cursor [06:11] jkoltner: Oh did not know that! [06:11] what? VMWare is free. [06:11] just get virtualbox! I have win7 in one now, it has coo lthings like seamless mode (run app in window like its native )etc. [06:11] Vmware server 2.0 [06:11] and now VMWare ESXi [06:12] big question, i just installed linux yesterday, read that a standard ubuntu install does not need a firewall, but when i look at available updates, there is 220 of them...do i install all of them or pick and choose.? will installing all make my system less stable/secure? ..... and if i do pick and choose, do i really have to look over 220 items with cryptic names, to choose ones I might need? [06:12] mib_xuaqs7: You can look in /var/log/dpkg.log to see what you recently removed [06:12] i just installed the 64-bit version of intrepid ibex on my new machine, that has 4 gb of ram. but still, i still only see 3707 mb when i run `free -m` (also in the system monitor). what else do i have to do before i can see the whole 4 gb? [06:12] you just sing up on the site for a license [06:12] sign [06:12] marabout: that's weird. what does your prompt look like? [06:12] VirtualBox's seamless mode is priceless [06:12] (the part before the cursor) [06:12] confusedbylinux: install them all [06:12] confusedbylinux: You should just do all of them [06:12] kevdog: Granted, finding a VMware image of any popular OS that you can use with the free player is probably not at all difficult. [06:12] confusedblinux: Install all [06:12] yep [06:12] mlalkaka: does your motherboard have an onboard video card? [06:13] Flannel: I've been going through my whole distribution (sorted the packages by size) deleting everything I don't need [06:13] wastrel: before now it was "~$ " now it is just " _ " blinking [06:13] Flannel: So the log wouldn't be helpful [06:13] doublewulf: yes it does, but i'm using a separate pci express graphics card [06:13] noob./ [06:13] wastel: You have an internet connection? [06:13] confusedbylinux: install all -- most are small in size and all make your system better [06:13] oh thank GOD, having to look over 220 items with no idea what there names imply would be a *itch [06:13] mlalkaka: did you turn the onboard video off? [06:13] I'm getting terrible flash performance, both 32bit and 64bit [06:13] lockups, 60% CPU, etc. [06:13] marabout: hit control-c a couple of times until you get back to ~$ [06:13] how to play devil may cry 4 bro.. [06:14] can anyone can doit [06:14] F4RREL: try wine's appdb [06:14] if anyone can do it, it'll be there [06:14] doublewulf: from the bios? i don't think so. doesn't that happen automatically when i use a separate graphics card? [06:14] confusedbylinux: also if you haven't already... look up medibuntu and add the repository to install all codecs (dvd, mp3 etc.) [06:14] wastrel: thanks reverted back [06:14] win7 anygood on first glance [06:14] mlalkaka: no, generally it does not. [06:14] !flash [06:14] 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 [06:14] win7 looks nice, seems to run nice, uses 1/2 the ram of vista... haven't used it much tho [06:15] win7 native or vm [06:15] vm [06:15] kevdog: insofar as i can connect to the internet yes :] [06:15] By mistake I removed via 'apt-get remove' the top right section of my Ubuntu (GNOME) screen's functionality. It now says Users, instead of my username, and when I click on it, instead of getting Shut Down, Reboot etc., I get only a tiny bit of the window, with no text or icons. Can someone please tell me the name of it, so I can 'apt-get install' the package I accidentally removed? [06:15] what else might you mean by that? [06:15] so I didn't get all the eye candy! [06:15] dmsuperman: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [06:15] hi. There seems to be a problem with my system tray. the applications that normally have an icon there aren't visible anymore... can anyone help please... [06:15] doublewulf: that's what I currently have [06:15] wastrel: and that command is failing? Weird [06:15] chronographer, it looks like team barney and friends created the UI [06:15] doublewulf: It's not working [06:15] this channel makes me laugh really hard [06:15] doublewulf: ok i'll try that and see how it goes [06:15] wastrel: so should i just insert the disc again and start over or is their an "easier" way? [06:16] =) or they copied kde 4.2 ??? [06:16] kde looks better [06:16] IMO [06:16] marabout: from the $ prompt, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:16] dmsuperman: did you uninstall nspluginwrapper and your earlier libflashplayer? === mib_xuaqs7 is now known as elipsis [06:16] kevdog: ?? [06:16] Paddy_EIRE: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3609.html is not working for me at all. [06:16] marabout: you have an internet connection active? [06:16] dmsuperman: as well as any other flash players you might have installed? [06:16] kde and compiz don't work well together though right? [06:16] ah [06:16] doublewulf: I never installed any [06:16] chronographer, they work fine [06:16] wastrel: seriously I confused [06:16] compiz is poo, as a rule [06:16] [01:16] marabout: you have an internet connection active? <---- quote of the day [06:16] chronographer, although no point when you have kwin :) [06:16] doublewulf: This is a vanilla Intrepid install, all I've done is update my repos, download package upgrades, then install flas [06:17] Hey he could be using a different machine? [06:17] :) [06:17] oh! I did install kde to take a look, but I have some scripts which run at startup and they made kde unhappy... haven't been back... I like gnomepersonally [06:17] BLKDVL, which part exactly? [06:17] Ive got like 3 computers all running next to me right now! [06:17] dmsuperman: intrepid has the nspluginwrapper in it by default I believe [06:17] kevdog: can't tell for sure as I'm using a netopia wireless usb card and not sure if the driver(s) were installed. [06:17] well teh way you asked... [06:17] anyone help me get mpd using pulseaudio please? [06:17] dmsuperman: purge your system of flash, then get the installer and run it again. [06:17] it sounded like an internet connection altogether [06:18] marabout: ifconfig -- [06:18] like... he didnt get it shut off ;) [06:18] kevdog: build yourself a data center, then call back, next caller [06:18] dmsuperman: http://kemal.bioeng-network.org/2008/11/18/how-to-install-64bit-flash-player-on-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex-finally/ [06:18] Im open for business [06:18] Paddy_EIRE, I can get into the GRUB and I did all the edits how it said and then booted, but it still says "Enter password to unlock the disk (sda5_crypt):" when it boots [06:18] kevdog: yes I am using a different machine to access this channel (G4Tower) [06:18] hey if i have a ddr2 5300 1 gig stick samsung can i use another stick same specs but kingston maker? [06:18] AHHHHHH I knew it!!!!!! See I wasn't so stupid!!! :) [06:19] cinco29: of course [06:19] BLKDVL, I would keep trying here if I where you.. I am not so sure as to where to go from here [06:19] does anyone here fold in ubuntu and know of any good folding monitors? [06:19] marabout: What does ifconfig show -- a local ip address! [06:19] fold? like protein folding? [06:19] Paddy_EIRE, OK, thank you for your help. [06:19] chronographer: yes [06:19] thanku [06:20] doublewulf: It had no nspluginwrapper installed, checking ou the link [06:20] kevdog: not to hip on networking lingo but the response was: inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 [06:20] now what if one is 5300 and the other is 6400... will my system run the 6400 at 5300? [06:20] how do i check how much drive space i have left on my software raid5 /home partition [06:20] Inkscape on Windows can import EPS, how come I can't on Ubuntu? [06:21] what's the thing to install a .tar file? [06:21] kevdog: bit different than all the other machines addresses on my home network as they are all a variation of 192.x.x.x ... [06:21] like the code [06:21] marabout: You have no internet conection on that machine that is only the loopback address? All you have is a wireless device for internet access and no wired or pci based card? [06:21] doublewulf: Those instructions don't apply, I don't have those files or that package installed :( [06:21] !compile | JoshPilcer [06:21] JoshPilcer: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [06:21] Brack10, perhaps because ubuntu is not windows [06:21] Can someone help me please? I set a password for my GRUB but forgot what it was. It still displays "Enter password to unlock the disk (sda5_crypt):" and I even followed all the instructions on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3609.html but to no avail. [06:21] Paddy_EIRE, but inkscape is still inkscape [06:21] JoshPilcer: I recommend compiling but that is my own opinion! [06:21] kevdog: yes that is correct no wired or pci based card [06:21] helo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome/Install [06:22] Brack10, still irrelevant [06:22] kevdog: i assume he can install ubuntu-desktop from the CD [06:22] marabout: did you try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop again? [06:22] what's that command that tells you if you have a 64bit capable processor? [06:22] Paddy_EIRE: ok..sorry? [06:22] marabout: I could help you get that set up, but as wastrel recommended you have the ubuntu-desktop CD burned and ready to go? [06:22] Brack10, just a moment [06:22] doublewulf: Any other ideas? [06:23] doublewulf: System is entirely purged of flash [06:23] wastrel: just a sec will do, but last time resulted in blinking cursor... [06:23] marabout: you need to add the cdrom to your repository list: sudo apt-cdrom add [06:23] marabout: make sure you're starting at a $ prompt. [06:23] dmsuperman: kill all instances of firefox, and get the alpha flashplayer installer again [06:23] Brack10, manually doing so seems to be the most plausible method http://gimparoo.wordpress.com/2007/10/23/manually-convert-eps-to-svg/ [06:23] Paddy_EIRE: I figured it out sudo apt-get install imagemagick pstoedit [06:23] ah [06:23] wastrel: check your /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure the cdrom is listed as one of the repository choices [06:24] well [06:24] Paddy_EIRE: if you do that, inkscape opens PDF and EPS natively [06:24] hey cj [06:24] kevdog: yes have the hardy (alt) CD right here, as it is an OLDER machine (compaq presario 5000us... [06:24] yeah that was also recommended Brack10 although I am not sure.. try and see [06:24] it works [06:24] Brack10, oh cool [06:24] kevdog: i have my cdrom lines commented out ;] [06:24] How are the drivers for the GeForce 9800 cards in ubuntu 8.10? [06:24] doublewulf: That's what I did initially [06:24] Brack10, I must take note of that [06:24] Paddy_EIRE: put that in your pipe and smoke it :P [06:24] Brack10, hehe [06:24] marabout: You have the desktop or server CD available? [06:25] dmsuperman: if it doesn't work this time, then I do not know. that plugin works great on mys ystem [06:25] dmsuperman: im using 64bit flash, it works fine, but crashes randomly cuz i have an older proc === Aryan is now known as Guest80167 [06:25] Hey cj are you there? [06:25] wastrel: so do I, however if he is going to install ubuntu-desktop from cdrom shouldn't these lines be active only for now? [06:25] I accidentaly clicked "Ignore Conflict" when I selected the Compiz Magnify plugin, and now X repeatedly crashes. Is there a qay to disable th eplugin before I log in, without using a window manageR? [06:25] wastrel: "couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop" [06:25] kevdog: desktop [06:25] marabout: good -- your have the cdrom mentioned in your /etc/apt/sources.list? [06:26] can any help me with a small problem? [06:26] I'm getting _terrible_ performance with flash, both 32bit and 64bit (now running 64bit OS). The video gets very laggy, and firefox locks up during play back [06:26] dmsuperman: which flash are you using? The legit adobe one? [06:26] how can i know that which ubuntu is installed on my machine [06:26] Gautam: cat /etc/issue [06:26] atm0sph: Yeah [06:27] dmsuperman hmm I'm not sure then.. sorry :( [06:27] Gautam - uname -r will give you the kernel verison [06:27] marabout: You disappeared? [06:27] ok now anyone know if you can display .svgz thumbnails in nautilus? Mine just shows the MIME icon and not a preview [06:28] kevdog: i imagine so as it is the same CD that I used a hour or two ago. I typed in sudo apt-cdrom add got " insert disc" [06:28] Can someone help me please? I set a password for my GRUB but forgot what it was. It still displays "Enter password to unlock the disk (sda5_crypt):" and I even followed all the instructions on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3609.html but to no avail. [06:28] marabout: insert the disc then!! [06:28] kevdog: i'm a slow typist plus moving from machine to machine [06:28] Hey can anyone help me out if they aren't to busy [06:29] I accidentally clicked "Ignore conflict" when enabled a compiz plugin called magnify, which caused X to imemdiately crash and boot me out to the login screen (it restarted). Now whenever I login it repeatedly just crashes then boots me out to the login again. Does anyone know how I can either disable / delete the magnify plugin so I can get back into the gui? [06:29] BLKDVL: You may be hosed: I don't know! [06:29] !ask | Scubidus [06:29] Scubidus: 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. :-) [06:29] BLKDVL: can't you just reinstall grub? [06:29] !ask [06:29] okay, wait how do i compile something. I want to install wifi-radar-1.9.8.tar.tar [06:29] Scubidus: what he means is, just ask your question - you don't need permission [06:29] kevdog: will do it is the ALT desktop CD (8.0.4.1) same as before should be fine right? [06:29] atm0sph, this may no longer be valid but give it a go http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-259831.html [06:29] JoshPilcer: wifi-radar is in the repositories. Just install the "wifi-radar" package [06:30] how [06:30] i don't have internet [06:30] marabout: I think so!! [06:30] chronographer: I would if I had a blank CD with me and were not flying out of town tomorrow to go back to college. =\ [06:30] like Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) ..what is Dapper Drake and how can i find which is mine ? [06:30] What programs evaluate the /etc/default/acpi-support file's content? [06:30] Gautam: lsb_release -a [06:30] i downloaded it (.tar) and i have it in my home directory. What do i have to type in terminal to install it [06:30] JoshPilcer: why you want wifi-radar -- Isn't Network Manager or WICD preferrable? [06:30] Whenever I play warzone 2100 for like 20 minutes, then my OS kills the game and any other processes and logs me out [06:30] JoshPilcer: You don't want the tar, use the one in the repos. [06:31] can anyone tell me what resolution the timer has in the ubuntu kernel. I'm not referring to multi-tasking resolution (as in pre-emptive switching between applications). I'm actually referring to the system timer which is used by games to do all their computation in real-time. [06:31] [00:23] i seem to have trouble finding any information that is not about the multi-tasking management. [06:31] Gautam: lsb_release -a will give you info about what version you are running. [06:31] as an example, the windows system timer has has a resolution of 1 millisecond [06:31] omg, how can i get wifi on ubuntu on my hp pavilion dv6000. I don't have any internet. but i can download from my other computer and transfer. can someone pm me and help [06:32] lsb_release -- yet another command I've never heard of!! Very Nice!! [06:32] Gautam: "dapper" is the code name for the 6.06 release the current 8.10 release code name is intrepid [06:32] What's a LSB Module? [06:32] lsb -> linux softeare base. :) i think.. o forget where/who they are [06:32] linux standard base [06:32] JoshPilcer, can't you just plug this computer into the net long enough to get wireless set up? [06:32] no i can't [06:32] No LSB Modules are available? Seems wierd!! [06:32] pha3z: in the -server kernel, the timer is 100Hz, in the generic kernel its 250Hz [06:32] http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/LSB [06:32] i just have my neighbors wifi [06:33] and dial-up [06:33] JoshPilcer, that is theft [06:33] kevdog: fyi /etc/lsb-release [06:33] we can not support that JoshPilcer [06:33] it's not theft. or else they should've put a password on it [06:33] kevdog: i believe it is complete as It has returned me to ~& prompt. What is next? [06:33] and they said i can use it... [06:33] JoshPilcer: You'll need to download the deb, from packages.ubuntu.com [06:33] JoshPilcer, its still the same no matter which way you cut it [06:33] unless you get permission of course [06:33] JoshPilcer: If you think it's not theft, go ask them if you can use it. Come back if they say, "yes." [06:34] marabout: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [06:34] i have their permission to use it.... [06:34] nickrud, you take it at face value [06:34] that's why they bought it [06:34] ;) [06:34] Flannel: I read that, and its 1000Hz in the rt kernel. But it looked like that was specific to task-switching. Is that also the resolution of the timer that an application would use for tracking system time and doing calculations ?? Honestly, maybe I need to learn more about programming games on Linux to ask this better. [06:34] Paddy_EIRE, what reason do I have not to? [06:34] but i don't have time to go over there [06:34] JoshPilcer: I just did the sudo dpkg --purge compiz and it seems to have worked. thanks [06:34] JoshPilcer: Just connect using a manual connection : You don't need special software [06:34] kevdog: all one command Yes? [06:34] YES!! [06:34] nickrud, I dont know.. I guess the CoC and the like would say otherwise though :) [06:35] JoshPilcer: Is the wireless encrypted? WEP or WPA? [06:35] i am thirsty [06:35] how can i tell? [06:35] JoshPilcer, ask your neighbour for the information [06:35] JoshPilcer: Have you used it before? [06:35] kevdog: Yes I am a neewb... brb [06:35] JoshPilcer: iwlist scan [06:35] JoshPilcer: download the deb package t o machine on internet, thendl to machine w/o inet [06:35] doublewulf: hey thanks for the help. you were right; in my bios, i had 'hybrid sli' enabled, which was causing my onboard graphics chip to still reserve memory for graphics [06:35] JoshPilcer, you're caught in that place where you need net to get net. I had the same problem with a vanilla windows install, until l got the right driver. That's probably your problem. What wifi chip do you have? [06:35] atom^x can you pm me? [06:35] mlalkaka: glad to hear it [06:36] why won't apt-get download food work? I'm hungryy [06:36] hi guys. I'm trying to figure out how to turn off tor as a service so I can run it using another management program, vidalia. [06:36] Hmm [06:36] Paddy_EIRE, I don't see anywhere in the coc where I have to assume someone is a liar until proven otherwise [06:36] Nice [06:36] hello guyz ! I'm looking for Christopher James Halse Rogers. [06:36] i have internet on my other computer, so i was thinking if i could download what i need and transfer to ubuntu [06:36] nickrud, I guess so.. but its a bit dodgy all the same [06:36] i ran lsb_release -a and it gives [06:36] No LSB modules are available. [06:36] Paddy_EIRE, I have leeches where I live [06:36] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [06:36] Description: Ubuntu 8.04 [06:36] Release: 8.04 [06:36] Codename: hardy [06:36] Gautam: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:37] JoshPilcer: go for it [06:37] JoshPilcer: Ok lets back up -- what kind of wireless device do you have? [06:37] nickrud, that sounds wonderful [06:37] what's my wireless card name? [06:37] bob [06:37] Paddy_EIRE, yep, an extra $10/month :) But, we're off topic here [06:38] nickrud, hehe [06:38] JoshPilcer: Ok lets back up -- Is your wireless device internal, an external card or USB device? [06:38] Broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI... on my HP Pavilion dv6000 [06:38] it's internal [06:38] What programs evaluate the /etc/default/acpi-support file's content? [06:38] JoshPilcer, why not use the internet from your other comp? [06:38] it's on that wifi network [06:38] JoshPilcer: Have you installed any drivers for it? [06:39] ya i installed the driver [06:39] JoshPilcer: Does typing iwlist scan show you anything? [06:39] any free point of sales up there ? [06:39] Test [06:39] it says interface doesn't support scanning for eth0 and lo [06:40] JoshPilcer: Does lshw -C network show you unclaimed? And as far as a driver -- I don't get it -- What did you install -- Are you using the STA or b43 module? [06:40] ynoj: that's RAOF, but he doesn't appear to be on irc at the moment [06:40] kevdog: if you wouldn't mind while I am waiting on the install. Can you tell me where I might have gone wrong on the install? Perhaps I did not specify I wanted the GUI or the text-based ALT CD leaves it off by default? [06:40] i have run lsb_release -a and it says No LSB modules are available [06:40] gerber: there are. Try lemonpos [06:41] thank you [06:41] Gautam, it says more [06:41] Gautam: Yes, but then it gives you your version info. You're on Hardy, Ubuntu 8.04 [06:41] Gautam: how about cat /etc/issue [06:41] ah [06:41] marabout: Its been a while since I've installed from the Alt-Cd but most likely you just chose the wrong option. Don't worry about it too much!!! [06:41] well when i typed lshw -C network it said my wifi card details [06:41] yes it gives hardy [06:41] this lemon work with ubuntu ? [06:41] JoshPilcer: What driver? [06:42] JoshPilcer, that does not mean it is installed though [06:42] cat etc/issues gives ubuntu 8.04 \n\l [06:42] JoshPilcer: driver is listed with lshw -C network [06:42] marabout: The default alternate CD will install a GUI. Perhaps you have the server CD instead? [06:42] crdlb: oh .. thanks .. wanted to consult him on one of his patches for evolution-sharp .. any idea when he usually comes online ? [06:42] hello [06:43] kevdog: sounds good. Also since I have a wireless card do you think the drivers will be installed or will I need to do something 'extra'? [06:43] Styx993: hi [06:43] how do i use multiple monitors with ubuntu? [06:43] If i am hardy then what is it...is ubunutu is categorized more ? [06:43] ynoj: not sure, but he's in AU [06:43] [00:43] how do i use multiple monitors with ubuntu? <== That's the question on my plate too!! [06:43] umm says product, vendor, physical id: 0, bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0, version: 02, width 64 bits, clock: 33MHz, capabilities: bus_master cap_list, configuration: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=0 module=ssb [06:43] crdlb: thanks again . [06:44] marabout: USB devices are the bane of the linux existance. It really depends on the chipset. If its a Ra chipset it will work out of the box. If not like an atheros or broadcom, you will have to download and install drivers -- it depends [06:44] Gautam: That's it, you're either on hardy, or intrepid, or whatever [06:44] Gautam: You could use the specific release, 8.04.1, but that doesn't really matter [06:44] Flannel: I am 99.9% sure I have the desktop. It is installing right now so I'll double check it when its done by putting it in another computer and looking at it [06:44] Gautam: ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. every release has a version number and a code name. your version number is 8.04 (the year and month of release) and code name for that version is "hardy" [06:44] what version is "hardy" ? [06:44] pha3z: 8.04 [06:44] lol until recently i was on 6.10 [06:44] ok [06:45] JoshPilcer: Ok b43 is the driver you are using -- did you install the separate firmware of the driver (which is the closed source binary code)! [06:45] kevdog: it is a netopia 3D Reach. I tried researching prior to the install but didnt get too much. I 'll throw my net out again and see what I get... [06:45] ya i installed it through gksudo ndisgtk. and installed the inf file for the driver [06:45] thanks Wastrel for this version info [06:46] Can anyone tell me if Codeweavers Crossover software should work just as well on Ubuntu as it does on other Linux distros ( I'm pretty new to Linux) [06:46] oh you used the windows driver JoshPilcer [06:46] pha3z, yes it does [06:46] JoshPilcer: Didn't install it right!!! If you did, the driver would be saying ndiswrapper and not b43-xxxxxxx [06:46] thanks, paddy [06:46] well how would i install it right? [06:47] JoshPilcer: I dont mean to be a smartass - but did you search the forums? This cover is topic in detail about 1 million times -- personally I've covered it well over 500 times [06:47] Does GNOME dodge the term 'file type association' and uses anther term instead? [06:47] looks like xinerama might do the trick [06:47] Where can I find information on which Nvidia cards are supported with ubuntu 8.10? [06:48] kevdog: Please ditch the attitude. [06:48] he is right, im a linux newb and ive heard of that problem a million times [06:48] well i was talking to evowill and he told me to do it that way [06:48] Flannel: The truth hurts!! And its not rude to ask if a search was performed!! [06:48] so i was just following his directions [06:49] JoshPilcer: Who's directions? [06:49] evowill === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away [06:50] i have another question [06:50] bullgard4, i cant recall it ever mentiongint hat term.. it uses ' open with' from what i can tell :) [06:50] JoshPilcer: Type the following on separate line: sudo rmmod ssb sudo rmmod b43 sudo modprobe ndiswrapper Then tell me if lshw -C network gives you a driver [06:50] Dr_Willis_ZNC: I see. [06:50] does x control the ttys (the alt+f1 through f9)? [06:50] bullgard4, it also is a bit odd how you set the default 'open with' stuff.. compared to other desktops/OS's :) [06:51] Styx993, No. it does not.. it normally takes the frst free one . which is F7 normally [06:51] k, thanks [06:51] i just want to have a backup in case x goes asplode [06:51] it changed the configuration to: latency=0 [06:52] JoshPilcer: Not following -- is a driver listed? [06:52] ya [06:52] Dr_Willis_ZNC: GNOME has made a start with System > Preferences > Preferred Applications. But this program is limited yet in its scope. [06:52] JoshPilcer: WHAT driver? Its like pulling teeth!! [06:53] * Big_blue go [06:54] Description: Network controller, product: BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI, vendor: Broadcom Corporation, physical id: 0, bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0, version: 2, width: 64 bits, clock: 33mhz, capabilities: cap_list, config: latency=0 [06:54] is that enough? [06:54] and it also said *-network UNCLAIMED [06:55] JoshPilcer: No driver is mentioned. What does ndiswrapper -l show? [06:56] JoshPilcer: UNCLAIMED is a bad sign [06:57] crap [06:57] my xorg.conf is liek empty === JamesMowery|away is now known as JamesMowery [06:58] it says: -i inffile insteall driver described by 'inffile' -a devid driver use installed 'driver' for 'devid' (dangerous) -r driver remove 'driver' -l list installed drivers -m write configuration for modprobe -ma write module alias configuration for all deviced -mi write module install configuration for all deviced -v report version information. where 'devid' is either PCIID or USBID of the form XXXX:XX [06:59] o and it said install/manage windows drivers for ndiswrapper. usage: ndiswrapper OPTION [07:00] JoshPilcer: No driver is mentioned. What does ndiswrapper -l show? [07:00] that's what ndiswrapper -l shoed [07:00] JoshPilcer: No driver is mentioned. What does ndiswrapper -l <--- this is the letter l [07:00] showed* [07:00] that's why i typed lower case L [07:00] JoshPilcer: So did you wrap the window's driver inside ndiswrapper? [07:00] o [07:01] Something like [07:01] ndiswrapper -i XXXXXX.inf [07:01] sudo ndiswrapper -i XXXXXX.inf [07:01] bcmwl5 : driver installed device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43XX) [07:01] is that right? [07:01] bullgard4, - whats wrong with the listing in 'pick a file' -rigth click -> properties -> open with Tab. :) [07:01] Yes [07:01] Also do this sudo rmmod bcm43xxx [07:02] Then do a sudo modprobe ndiswrapper === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:02] Then check lshw -C network [07:02] kevdog: probably also has to blacklist bcm43xx module to prevent conflicts [07:03] something about blacklist [07:03] for rmmod bcm43xxx i got : ERROR: Module bcm43xxx does not exist in /proc/modules. and sudo modprobe ndiswrapper didn't do anything. [07:03] so lshw -C network was the same. [07:03] i have static ip where is property protocol ? [07:04] kevdog: it does appear that the netopia w/less card "is based on the Ralink 2500 chipset" so there is a chance it may work 'automatically' I'll keep you posted. ( machine is at "rebuilding the database" of the install right now...) [07:04] You only need to blacklist modules once everything is up and running. The blacklist file is read at boot and with particular modprobe invocations -- however not with bcm43xx by default -- all the blacklist stuff is window dressing [07:04] kev was that towards me? [07:04] anyone here? [07:04] marabout: you might be lucky [07:05] i have static ip where is property protocol ? [07:05] JoshPilcer: Yes, but its still unclaimed right? [07:05] yes [07:05] *-network UNCLAIMED [07:06] can I ask an inkscape question here since #inkscape is so dead? [07:06] local area connetion [07:06] Brack10: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [07:06] srx2002: just ask your questions and if someone can help then they will [07:06] JoshPilcer: Take a look at this page: http://linuxfans.betaserver.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:broadcom-guide-for-ubuntu-hardy-and-newer&catid=34:guides&Itemid=61 [07:07] what a good program ( gui interface ) for hard disk management: I'm bought some western digital 320's and an external enclosure ( usb 2. 0) I would like to format them using various formats ( fat32, fat...etc..... ) [07:07] need help setup my ip address [07:07] srx2002: try qparted [07:07] *gparted [07:07] ok [07:07] synaptic? [07:07] srx2002: yes [07:07] can anyone help me [07:07] JoshPilcer: You have a 4311. What does lspci -nnm show in regards to the chipset revision number? [07:08] k, thanks [07:08] !ask [07:08] 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. :-) [07:08] hi [07:09] kevdog where does it say anything? [07:09] nothing comin up [07:09] JoshPilcer: You have a 4311 rev 02 card [07:09] how can i put my static ip address [07:09] You want the b43 driver and firmware. [07:09] no package [07:10] gerber, please form a complete question [07:10] JoshPilcer: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper [07:10] qtparted? [07:10] JoshPilcer: Intrepid or Hardy? [07:10] hardy [07:10] On the top GNOME panel, to the far right, where it says the name of the user that's logged in, with a shutdown icon next to it, that when clicked gives you a list of things (such as Shutdown, Reboot & Logoff), what is it called? As I seem to of [mistakenly] 'apt-get remove' it. Because it now says Users instead of my username, and when I click it, I don't get the list of Shutdown, Reboot, Logoff etc. [07:11] Is there a way to get it back? Such as sudo apt-get install *.* [07:11] it's qtparted [07:11] srx2002: there is also a gparted [07:11] elipsis it is the fast user switch applet [07:11] elipsis, its the user switch applet.. you should find it when you go to a panel right click and choose add to panel [07:12] how can i put my static IP in my computer ? [07:12] ah [07:12] JoshPilcer: See this thread with option #2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779754 When you get done; re-edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to remove your cd-rom from the repository list (just put a # sign at the front of the line) [07:12] fast-user-switch - is that the name of the applet? [07:12] ooops [07:12] kev this is what i got for -nnm [07:12] right click, add to panel, user switcher [07:12] http://pastebin.com/m1c5e021b [07:13] srx2002: qtparted is a similar product - they are both based on parted, but from my experience gparted has worked better and has supported more filesystems (though both should be fine for most tasks) [07:13] fast-user-switch-applet - I think that's the name, I'll try removing it then adding it again [07:13] hi,i have installed mysql,But can not find the way to run it [07:14] elipsis: if you want to make sure you have everything installed from the default install, just make sure you have ubuntu-desktop [07:14] Gautam: try running "mysql -u root -p" from the shell [07:14] JoshPilcer: Yes its a 4311 revision 02 as you told me with this line: BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [4311]" -r02 [07:15] elipsis, yes that is the name of the applet [07:15] yay [07:15] kevdog: i'm doing the things on the link. [07:15] well rebooting now [07:17] JoshPilcer: Ayuthia in the ubuntu forums is the main resource for Broadcom cards (he is the man) -- don't be afraid to post in the forums asking for his help. He is very knowledgeable about broadcom stuff!! [07:18] I installed gparted from the synaptic...can't find it my menus [07:18] srx2002: it should be under System -> administration [07:18] srx2002, try running it from command line. 'gparted' :) [07:18] Yippie: It works now [07:18] JoshPilcer: What does uname -r show [07:19] requires root [07:19] nevermind..found it [07:19] did you reboot your system? sometimes installed program appear in menu after reboot [07:19] srx2002: it does because you are accessing the computer hardware - wouldn't be a good idea to let anyone format the drives... [07:20] chet: restarting X should be enough [07:20] ctrl-alt-bksp [07:20] will gparted find a usb Hd? [07:20] srx2002: it will [07:20] srx2002, yes [07:21] srx2002: in my case it found it but took some time. I usually give a device name [07:21] help compiz on my gnome desktop wont save settings and there are window button to max or min [07:21] What's a good dns server besides mydns that has a sql backend, I'd prefer mysql and sqlite... my problem with mydns is it doesn't do rdns [07:22] srx2002: gparted does usually take a long time to scan for drives, so if you know the device name that will be faster [07:22] is there a different channel for xubuntu desktop? [07:22] trollboy, i dunno about mysql side of it but opendns is good [07:22] chet, #xubuntu [07:22] thanks. [07:22] np :) [07:23] trollboy: looked at bind? i know its meant to be a good dns server, but i dont know whats its backend is... [07:23] Bodsda, is it OSS? [07:23] miranda_psi, I know bind inside and out, but want the sql backend [07:23] trollboy, no idea [07:23] trollboy:powerdns ? maybe, it used to be active...

[07:52] JoshPilcer: mv broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.tar broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 [07:52] it shouldn't matter what the filename is [07:52] do file see what that says [07:52] why isn't it working then? === talia is now known as Talia [07:53] iono, try file broadcom-wl-blah-blah-lots-of-numbers.tar.tar [07:53] file command = teh aw3s0m3n355 [07:53] JoshPilcer: windows bug [07:53] is it? [07:53] JoshPilcer: rename the file in ubuntu [07:53] i downloaded from windows to flashdrive. then uploaded on ubuntu [07:53] rename it to what? [07:53] JoshPilcer: mv broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.tar broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 [07:53] o [07:53] Cut and paste that command [07:54] ? [07:54] Flannel: you the admin? [07:54] kevdog: Theres a good number of us. [07:55] still does not want to work [07:55] they're horrible horrible people [07:55] Flannel: Cool -- Kind of like the CIA lurking about or KGB! [07:55] !kr | useruseruseruser [07:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about kr [07:55] Redownload the file then [07:55] !ch | useruseruseruser [07:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ch [07:55] !fishing | useruseruseruser [07:55] useruseruseruser: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [07:56] Flannel: I guess you didn't find that funny! sorry! [07:57] * kevdog is wrapping it up in 5 [07:57] kevdog: they're kinda like those english guards, you cannot make them smile for nothing ;) [07:57] kevdog: something like that, sure. [07:57] it still doesn't want to work. are you able to try it? [07:57] o,wrong door === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:58] kevdog can you try it for me? [07:58] JoshPilcer: I using cygwin on windows machine and was able to grab the source and decompress it like nothing [07:58] lol why isn't it working for me... [07:59] what was the command you typed? [07:59] kevdog: install finally finished back to ~$ What now? [08:00] JoshPilcer: You probably dont have cygwin installated but it was: wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 [08:00] marabout: Either reboot or startx [08:00] how can i fix that? [08:00] oh dear me. [08:01] JoshPilcer: run the file command file where is the ungodly long name of that .tar.tar file [08:01] JoshPilcer: what does it say? [08:01] JoshPilcer: Download the archive on windows - extract the archive in windows using 7zip and then just copy the directory structure over to ubuntu -- might be the easiest [08:02] 7zip? [08:02] does winrar work? [08:02] Flannel: tough crowd in here tonight! [08:02] YES [08:02] but 7zip is better (off topic) [08:02] + [08:03] 7zip confuses users because they want to use 7zip format [08:03] 7zip as far as compressibility is a superior format to gz and bz2. However you don't have to use the 7z format if you dont want to! [08:04] I believe its also a more efficient algorithm also in terms of speed [08:04] kevdog: okay had to fix screen res but so far so good. Thanks so much! any tips on getting the wireless card running as I believe it is the RA that you mentioned [08:04] Is it running now? [08:05] ralink ftw :) === mike is now known as Guest55264 [08:05] ftw? [08:05] there we go [08:05] haha [08:05] lol [08:05] ftw = for the win :P [08:06] yea I just googled that -- I'm new to the IRC thing in the last week -- give me a break Im an old man [08:06] meh it's no problem :) [08:06] welcome to irc [08:06] I loved mirc on windows [08:06] is there a package in apt to install python 2.6 or do i need to download it from the python site [08:07] me too. i was an expert at the scripting part [08:07] can't print anything. Printer config does not show up ? [08:07] what's wrong with this command? sudo chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/b43legacy it just doesn't do anything [08:07] Hi, I need Help with .dmrc file. System said it is being ignored because of some 664 error/only current user should have access to $HOME [08:08] ? [08:08] "Jan 19 09:07:49 ubuntu gsgcmd[5066]: Listening the network on port 11201... " is this a virus ? [08:09] there was a mirc download program for music -- cant remember the name -- it was awesome [08:09] kevdog: That belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support only (not general chit-chat); thanks. [08:09] kevdog now it says sudo chmod o+rx /lib/firmware/b43 /lib/firmware/b43legacy it doesn't do anything. and the next command: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up it says wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [08:10] Im having issues with $HOME/.dmrc file [08:10] JoshPilcer: "doesn't do anything" doesn't output anything? or there's no change to those files? [08:10] it just goes to a new command line [08:10] sudo modprobe b43 [08:11] kevdog: can I install these drivers: "rt2x00 driver or the rt2570 drivers" using the package manager. (for wireless card) [08:11] JoshPilcer: Then that's good. In Linux, no news is good news. [08:11] Then check lshw -C network [08:11] lars_bauer: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/gsgsmtpd.8.html [08:11] marabout: I suppose -- are you getting prompted to do this? [08:12] kevdog it's the same, but for configuration it says: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=0 module=ssb [08:12] and it says *-network [08:12] nothing after that so that's good? [08:12] kevdog: no, no prompts those are just the names of drivers that came up when I searched for my wireless card drivers. is there a app to set up the usb card built into hardy? [08:13] JoshPilcer: Is it assigned a logical name of wlan0? [08:13] Upon system startup i get $HOME//dmrc error [08:13] i changed to wpa2, using an ascii pre-shared key. but i cant get my laptop running ubuntu livecd to connect to it. and it converts my password from ascii to a long hex string. any ideas? [08:14] kevdog, having fun :) [08:14] Using mplayer, is there a way to play a video file to the network, so that another instance of mplayer could receive it (like VLC does when it streams) ? [08:14] marabout: not an expert with ra cards [08:14] ardchoille: is it my mail system cheking for incoming mail ? [08:14] Paddy_EIRE: Mod doesn't lke me! [08:14] GObby [08:14] kevdog, :( [08:15] who stole my name [08:15] kevdog: OK [08:15] holla [08:15] Can anyone help me set up a wireless USB card?

[08:16] marabout, What is the wireless chipset you are using? [08:16] just get the rt73 drivers... [08:16] iwlist scan? [08:17] lo & eth0 interface doesn't support scanning. [08:17] reboot for a minute [08:17] oaky [08:17] okay* [08:18] is there a bittorrent client that can prioritize specific chunks of a file? [08:18] * Aurax is away: Gone away for now [08:18] Paddy_EIRE: it is supposed to be the rt2x00 or rt2570 drivers (Ra) for a Netopia 3D Reach [TER/GUSB2-N] [08:19] kevdog still the same [08:19] JoshPilcer: I'm signing off for tonight -- post a link in the networking section on the ubuntu forums.

[08:37] bullgard4: it probably does not have a filename [08:38] sparr: A window does not have a filename? How come? [08:38] bullgard4: uhm, why would a window have a filename? [08:38] marabout, be right back.. I need to run to the shop :) wont be longer than 5 mins [08:38] useruseruseruser: I think the problem is not with the AP, because the behaviour of the problem differs depending on the place I am trying to connect from, {office,library ...}. How can I monitor the scanning results and the association process [08:38] sparr: Never heard that everything in Unix and Ubuntu is a file? [08:39] Paddy_EIRE: yes I am here np [08:39] aboSamoor: i don't know [08:39] Got a question for somebody, I'm having issues with accessing certain websites (MIT's PGP server, my schools Peoplesoft system), I checked the kernel logs and its informing me that its blocking that particular connection attempt, I'm assuming there's some iptables issue, how do I completely disable the kernel firewall? (I have a pretty powerful network firewall so I'm not too concerned) [08:39] bullgard4: yes, but one program can make a thousand windows [08:40] aboSamoor: try iwlist scanning [08:40] Your statement does not answer my question: "What is the filename of this window?" [08:40] Night world. [08:40] windows do not have filenames [08:40] at all [08:40] ever [08:40] sparr: Your statement does not answer my question: "What is the filename of this window?"

[08:42] Nevermind, figured it out. sudo iptables -F [08:44] hello how to install these drivers? https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive/ppa [08:44] ardchoille: thanks just need to now what the program did :o) [08:44] ValentineX: Those are experimental drivers, do you have any specific reason for those specifically? [08:44] lars_bauer: ok :) [08:45] snowrei: my intel vga is not installed correctly [08:45] ValentineX I strictly stay away from PPAs [08:45] Samizdat: :-s [08:46] ValentineX: Is it just because they're not functioning or just because they're not installed properly? If they're not loading or something its better to get the stable drivers working [08:46] so how to install my vga? i am unable to play movies, office documents, games correctlt [08:46] color me lazy, but with the .deb package, all you have to do is click-and-play [08:46] (that's for you, ValentineX) [08:46] ardchoille: but i can't get my printer up and running :o( . see paste -> http://bauerdata.bauerhost.dk/Members/bauer/printing-fails/ [08:46] lars_bauer: Can't help with that, I've never owned a printer [08:47] ardchoille: save the forest don't print :oD [08:47] lars_bauer: nah, just never needed one [08:47] marabout ok.. just back.. upon further reading it seems that the rt2500 is very well supported [08:47] Paddy_EIRE: yes... [08:48] ValentineX: There is a project of drivers from Intel but you have to compile them yourself as well as install, I'm not turning up a simple DEB [08:48] snowrei: where is that? [08:49] Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics [08:49] ValentineX: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/index.html [08:49] marabout, have you tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3595458&postcount=6 [08:50] marabout, it is for gutsy but is just as relevant [08:51] Paddy_EIRE: Hadn't found that. By "working network" are they referring to a internet connection? [08:51] marabout, yes [08:51] ValentineX : you'd be surprised how much grief you can avoid by simply clicking "Reinstall" (a particular package) in Synaptic Package Manager [08:51] ValentineX: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html <-- Install Doc [08:51] (or you can go on some fifteen-page wild goose chase that ultimately results in a complete O/S reinstall) [08:51] marabout, specifically to address problems with wpa not working with other methods.. I am just trying to get you the best option possible [08:52] Samizdat: i dont know which document is for my graphics new to linux [08:52] Paddy_EIRE: Well that may kill it for me as I can only connect to internet with that machine if I get the usb card configured... [08:52] moin [08:52] did you have video working, then it broke, or has it not worked at all in Linux? [08:53] marabout, oh.. catch 22 [08:53] marabout, Cant you plug it in via ethernet cable for a moment [08:54] * Samizdat has a date with KGO in about 13 minutes [08:54] * Aurax is away: Gone away for now [08:54] * Aurax is back. [08:55] Paddy_EIRE: no that machine for some reason was not made with Ethernet port (compaq presario 5000us) I can see that the card is there via terminal when I typed in "lsusb" though [08:55] !away | Aurax [08:55] Aurax: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [08:56] Samizdat: they are working but when i maximize them they run with bad quality with pauses [08:57] howdee [08:57] I am new to Ubuntu and just can't figure out how to make flash work in Firefox. I have version 8.04 installed. Did anyone had similar problems? any ideas? [08:57] marabout, hmm.. I dont know mate there seems to be a large need for an active net connection for resolving dependencies properly [08:57] are you using 64bit or 32 bit ubuntu [08:58] 64bit [08:58] marabout, otherwise you are talking about quite the struggle [08:58] spaceshuttle: Might want to be on 32-bit for compatibility reasons, however Adobe launched a 64-bit flash beta not too long ago [08:58] with firefox you can install the non free flashplugin in synaptic or apt-get it to install it [08:58] if however you are trying to install flash for opera, it is a bit more difficult [08:59] Hmm [08:59] I am running 64 bit w/firefox and flash and it works fine [08:59] nope, trying to install it for FF. haven't been able to make it work properly. [08:59] spaceshuttle: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes_64bit.html#install [08:59] which flash packge are you trying to install? [09:00] Paddy_EIRE: I see. Well I could try (tomorrow, later etc.) connected the machine to my Mac via internet sharing using the telephone modem port. Do you have a link or a set of commands that I should input at that point if I can get it to connect that way? [09:00] !ics [09:00] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [09:00] Paddy_EIRE: *connecting [09:00] All i did to get flash going.. was install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' then installed Opera.. and Opera is using the flash. [09:01] ValentineX one of these years we'll come up with a truly smart Linux, one that previews each and every scrap of new code you add to your system, to ensure it works with every other piece. [09:01] I've downloaded adobe version for 64 bit but it still didn't work [09:01] how do i transfer files from an old harddrive to a new one in ubuntu? [09:02] Eventually we'll get tired of "lurching for the future." [09:02] I will admit - i dont think im using the 64bit flash.. but i am watching youtube in opera right now. [09:02] Samizdat: so i have to wait for new? [09:02] william_, what filesystem is the other drive? just mount it and copy files over is what you normally do. [09:02] ValentineX I'm just not convinced there's anything wrong with your Intel VGA. [09:03] It comes with an install cd with a program that is only written for windows. do i need to format it at all? [09:03] Samizdat: can i upgrade to jaunty alpha? [09:03] Samizdat, your back I see [09:03] ive tried running said cd in wine with no success [09:03] install program? what sort of drive has an insstall oprogram? or needs a cd drive? Heh [09:03] Intel has a toll free telephone number with folks just waiting on the end of the line to help you fix this problem ValentineX. [09:03] william_, what Kind of drive is this? [09:03] I would call Intel first. [09:04] http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and chose the .deb version for ubuntu [09:04] seaqgate 500BG [09:04] How to i get an ethernet interface to come UP on boot w/out having an IP Address assigned to the interface AND w/o the interface being set for DHCP? This is a vmwareish question. My WAN connection needs to user eth1. I have vmnet2 bound to eth1 with a static IP. and eth0 is my LAN side interface. [09:04] Samizdat, lets hope you are a little better behaved this time ;) [09:04] william_, you mean to say its just a normal SATA hard drive? [09:04] yep [09:04] Paddy_EIRE: in my case the Mac would be the host... Anyway I think I have a slight understanding of what I need to do if I can get the Ubuntu machine to connect to the Net via the mac. If I see an extra-long telephone cord laying around in the next few minutes I may try it tonight. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the assist :) [09:04] william_, so plug it in.. fdisk it make linux parittion, format it.. mount it via fstab :) [09:04] lets say i get a virus on my windows computer and it crashes and i cant get in. is it always possible to install linux from USB then? because the bootloader of the computer will always work anyway? [09:04] Samizdat: i dont know english :D [09:04] marabout, any time mate :) [09:05] william_, or plug it in and use gparted on it to set it up.. then edit fstab as needed to mount it [09:05] when I reboot the box, everything comes up, but the eth1 interface is no a down/down status. If I do a ifconfig eth1 up, I am in business, but not until then. [09:05] wired internet, ie just plugging a cable, does that always work by default in Linux? [09:05] They have folks who speak your language ValentineX. [09:05] will that work if im trying to get all the contents of my old harddrive onto the new one? [09:05] Samizdat: they shall know linux? [09:05] yes [09:06] Samizdat: my problem is same http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843230 [09:06] sup [09:06] Paddy_EIRE: By the way, is there a setting/app in Ubuntu that will automatically configure the settings for the monitor. My display seems it should be sharper, etc...? [09:06] william_, you mean from an existing hard drive thats in the system? to a new hard drive you got sitting on the table? [09:06] what's the best program for graphing 1 or 2 variable functions [09:06] ive al;ready plugged the new hard drive into the motherboard, but yes [09:07] inertial: gnuplot is very powerful, but has a bit of a learning curve [09:07] marabout, you probably dont have your gfx card installed properly... there is also sub-pixel smoothing for fonts under "System > Preferences > Appearance" [09:07] william_, do you want to use linux filesystem or windows on the new drive? You basicallyjust mount the new one some place and copy files over to it.. UNLESS you are actually wanting to clone the whole System from the old drive to the new one and have a bootable system with the new drive only. [09:08] hello, I did a new install of ubuntu today and for some reason it is not putting the nvidia driver in restricted hardware but the monitor is hooked up to the card? [09:08] marabout, what is your resolution? [09:08] thanks tritium... don't know how i'll do with learning curve.. i've been trying to build linux for a usip board all day... [09:08] the end goal is to give linux free reign of the new harddrive and use the older one for windows only. windows is not currently installed on either [09:09] wired internet, ie just plugging a cable, does that always work by default in Linux? [09:09] william_: if you want the new drive to be a secondary drive, add it to fstab and creat a mount point for it, say /media/newdrive. that way each time you reboot, the drive will be mounted for you [09:09] if you need an example for what you "might" put in fstab, let me know [09:09] Paddy_EIRE: it is set to 1280x960 What is the gfx card? hardware or ubuntu software? [09:10] joma: mine works just like that [09:10] marabout, oh hardware (Graphics Card) [09:10] lets say i get a virus on my windows computer and it crashes and i cant get in. is it always possible to install linux from USB then? because the bootloader of the computer will always work anyway? [09:10] no i want it to be the primary drive with linux only and be able to dual boot windows from the older drive [09:10] marabout, also would be something that would require a net connection [09:10] Samizdat: my intel driver is set to software, how to correct it? [09:11] then you have to fiddle with fstab and grub [09:11] BUT I think if you have it as your slave the installer might set that up for you in the wizard too. [09:11] what is fstab? [09:11] I normallty have windows on the first hard drive.. then linux on the 2nd hard drive... [09:12] !fstab | william_ [09:12] william_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [09:12] I lost the buttons on my windows to max and min what do I do? [09:12] william_, but you have data on the old drive that you want to access NOW? or save for now? [09:12] what does one change when pressing alt+number in a terminal? (arg: 56) appears for example [09:12] BigMike, open a terminal and type "gtk-window-decorator --replace& exit" without the quotes [09:12] access now. I want to be able to run ubuntu as i have it now from the new drive [09:12] BigMike, are you using compiz [09:13] /dev/sdb1 /media/archive ext3 defaults 0 2 [09:13] i took it all out - cause after installing the non support plugins it went all crazy [09:13] Paddy_EIRE: ok I'll let Ubuntu win the battle tonight. I better rest up for tomorrow's encounter. Thanks again... [09:13] /dev/sdc1 /media/storage ext3 defaults 0 3 [09:13] marabout, no problem [09:13] • Ciao [09:13] there are two examples of what you "might" have in fstab [09:13] @c_korn: what a dumb question [09:14] How can I change the keyboard layout that's assumed by gdm? The console keymap is already configured correctly, as is the keymap for X. [09:14] lets say i get a virus on my windows computer and it crashes and i cant get in. is it always possible to install linux from USB then? because the bootloader of the computer will always work anyway? [09:14] but as much as I dislike it when flolks say read the manual, with fstab, It really is a very very good idea to do a bit of reading Before doing anything with it. [09:14] turning off window decorations and back on worked only temporarily [09:15] joma, please dont repeat the same broken question over and over please [09:15] joma: the bootloader can be corrupted by a virus. [09:15] BigMike, did you do what I said [09:15] BigMike, that was going to be my suggestion [09:15] but Ubuntu will rewrite the bootloader when it installs. [09:15] didnt help [09:15] ill look into fstab, thanks for the help [09:16] !who | BigMike [09:16] BigMike: 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 :) === Abracadabr4 is now known as Abracadabra [09:16] hello [09:16] ok [09:17] not a problen [09:17] william_: look at grub too, you will need them both, also as was said above. It is always a good idea to have windows be your primary drive. you really do not have to, But it can make your life allot easier. [09:17] bootproblems nvidia hoho :) [09:17] BigMike, I've had that problem before, I ended up switching to emerald which seemed to work better [09:17] ok [09:17] How can i connect xwindow again [09:18] Gibba I took out compiz and I have the same problem [09:18] anybody knows a good site for help [09:18] How do I install a .deb via command line? [09:18] hello, will it be safe if i install any antivirus ? or ubuntu dont need any...it itself safe enough ? [09:18] you're not on ubuntu and using human theme are you ? [09:18] * [gnubie] waves [09:18] no [09:18] GibbaTheHutt, actually the opposite is true.. gtk window decorator is much more stable than emerald will ever be... also emerald is now in the process of being depreciated [09:18] How do I install a .deb via command line, and how do I make it install the .deb to a certain location? [09:18] why is it better to have windows as primary? [09:19] yep, it may be more stable, but it does fix some issues for me, so I'll switch over when there's no problems [09:19] maybe if I switch back to a gnome theme I might be using something from my kde desktop Gibba [09:19] Is there a way I can configure apt's setting so it only installs to a certain location of my choosing? [09:19] honestly, iduno, I from experience, I have tried it both ways and I have always had more success with it as either the primary driver or partition. [09:19] <[gnubie]> i don't have a gui and i am running ubuntu server 8.04 lts.. is there a detailed documentation about the upstart since sysv initscript is gone? [09:20] hin [09:20] hi all [09:20] BigMike, maybe, I've never used kde so can't really advise with that [09:20] howdee s1ma0 [09:20] k thanks [09:20] ok I have both desktops installed [09:21] but I do have the buttons on the kde desktop but not on gnome [09:21] its a little wierd lol [09:22] but maybe the prob is in themes like you mentioned Gibba [09:22] anyone know how to make a ethernet interface come UP w/o it being assigned a static IP or having it use DHCP? Besides typing ipconfig eth1 up. [09:22] can any body tell me, will it be safe if i install any antivirus ? or ubuntu dont need any...it itself safe enough ? [09:22] I will give it a shot thanks [09:22] mmcji, what are you excpecting it to come up with ? [09:22] How do I install a .deb via command line, and how do I make it install the .deb to a certain location? [09:22] !virus | Gautam [09:22] Gautam: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [09:23] elipsis, dpkg -i [09:23] GibbaTheHutt: Then how do I make it install to a directory of my choosing [09:23] Hello, i realy need help fast! X) i installed Ubuntu on my USB hd, and when i rebooted grub sayd error 21... i have 2 partitions one whit XP and ubuntu, the otherone has no OS... but how to i remove grub whitout my windows cd? [09:23] elipsis, I doubt you can in most debs [09:24] elipsis, why would you want to... [09:24] is there some way to reset the audio device? i get some strange noise in headphones occasionally, especially if screensaver is active, maybe some power saving thing. audio plays normally through the noise even when the problem is active. [09:25] rebooting works but i'm getting tired of that [09:26] GibbaTheHutt: I have eth1 bound to vmnet2 which is eth1 on a vm I am using for a router. When my server comes up, eth0 is my LAN side and is statically assigned. Eth1 is my WAN side and needs to resolve via DHCP. When the server is booted as there is no IP assigned to the interface and it is not using DHCP, the interface goes to a DOWN status. When the VM is up it does not see the interface. If I do a ifconfig eth1 up, the vm can then [09:26] see the interface, successfully resolves my WAN address and the packets start flowing fine. But only after I do ifconfig eth1 up. [09:27] guess I could create a kron job to check that status is up and if not run ifconfig eth1 up, but I was hoping there was a better way to do it. [09:27] or do it on startup in one of the rc files [09:27] 8.04 user here, so i got an iphone and im trying to set up Remotepad, it needs an ip and port, ive tried various ones found in the terminal but the most that happens is 5 second connection then a disconnect. got any info for my prob?? [09:28] hmmm [09:28] DwightShroot, would you like us to guess the phone ;) [09:28] i cant mount a partition, it has not valid NTFS? :S [09:28] ??? [09:29] its an iphone 3g [09:29] !ntfs | Myx0x3 [09:29] Myx0x3: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [09:29] DwightShroot, okay [09:29] which one would I do that in? rc3.d? [09:29] !FUSE [09:29] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [09:29] i'm rusty on my runlevels [09:29] Myx0x3: maybe boot windows, remove all usb devices safely and do a clean shutdown [09:30] mmcji, at least that, later the better, but at least networking should have come up then I think [09:30] depends if anything else is relying on it that starts before or after [09:30] devex, i cant boot windows, grub is wierd... [09:30] thanks, i go a googlin on that :-) [09:30] nite all! [09:30] nn [09:31] Paddy_EIRE: you familiar with it [09:33] hi all [09:33] what window manager does ubuntu use? [09:33] DwightShroot, ah I have seen that actually.. but I am not sure if it runs on anything other than windows and mac at the moment [09:34] ubottu, i does not understand... im realy new whit linux [09:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:34] DwightShroot, oh it is out on linux bsd solaris [09:34] DwightShroot, I would not be so sure.. you would probably be best to go to a more specialised channel or forum [09:34] or continue to try here [09:34] Jimm^, gnome by default, but you can use others [09:34] :) [09:35] GibbaTheHutt: hehe, I found the answer, and it was so simple, I feel like a real dummy for not seeing it. [09:35] yes I know but I missing the window manger configuration tool [09:35] Paddy_EIRE: ok [09:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [09:35] there seems to be more than one [09:35] hi there ... i made some selection on an image in gimp... how can i create a new file with that particular selection ? [09:35] auto eth1 [09:35] i realy need help to mount my ntfs system X) [09:36] Myx0x3, people have already offered you advice [09:36] ok well I will download them all from synaptic [09:36] The first line specifies that the ethernet interface should come up automatically at boot. [09:37] no ip address info is needed [09:37] Paddy_EIRE, i know, but i does not understand :S i am realy tired and very pissed off... i got like 40 hours of work on my system that i cant get... [09:37] does anyone know which package perlcc is in [09:37] so in my case I see allot of packets traversing eth1, but from the host OS i have no IP Address associated with that Interface. Neato! [09:37] Myx0x3, well I would suggest you come back when you have more time to take the advice you have been given [09:37] mmcji what are you trying to do [09:38] mmcji are you trying to pull an address from a dhcp server [09:38] Paddy_EIRE, i have tryd what they said, i checked: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions did not understand, and someone sayd "!ntfs" and how do i use that? [09:39] Myx0x3, you read it [09:39] klsf3: I have a vm on my ubuntu server that is my router. I replaced my dedicated router and virtualized it to save electricity and reduce cooling costs. [09:39] :) [09:39] Myx0x3, what exactly are you trying to do, just mount a drive in ntfs from ubuntu ? [09:39] GibbaTheHutt, yes. it has mount my other partiton but not my "C:" [09:40] sorry but i have a problem.when i give "cd ~/Desktop" nothing happens [09:40] what physical device is it ? [09:40] does anyone know which package perlcc is in [09:40] can anyone tell me y? [09:41] GibbaTheHutt, im running on live cd atm also, becuse i cant get XP to work.. :/ [09:41] siropio you shouldnt get any output from a cd [09:41] !grub [09:41] 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 [09:41] Myx0x3, do you know what physical device it is ? [09:42] is it an IDE/SDA/USB device and what partition on which one? [09:42] sudo fdisk -l may help [09:42] id you do a pwd you should get the path to your home directory followed by Desktop [09:42] So the weekend was fun, but i had a thought, is there an accessible way for someone such as a manager(non technical) to read the django application.log? I had an idea about setting up a desktop application(wxpython based) to run as a desktop app that allowed you to load the latest system logs, user listings by join date, and retrieve the latest webstats from the server in one handy tabbed window? [09:42] GibbaTheHutt, i am realy realy noob at this xD but, do you mean like /dev/sda1? [09:42] klsf3 it gives me "no such directoey" [09:42] Myx0x3, yes, thats the type of thing I mean [09:42] thats odd [09:42] yos [09:42] Is there such an applicaiton out there in the django space? [09:43] so you could try mkdir /media/windows [09:43] yes [09:43] and then mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows [09:43] GibbaTheHutt, the one i cant mount is: /dev/sda1 but it mounts /dev/sda2 :S [09:43] !who | GibbaTheHutt [09:43] GibbaTheHutt: 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 :) [09:43] if you do an ls $HOME do you see desktop in there [09:43] how can i know what version of a software i will get if i use "add/remove"? [09:44] Hello, I am a new Ubuntu user. I have installed wine so i can emulate a 2d game I really like to play. Anyways the game is a java based game and seems to be running really choppy. What can I do to improve the performance? [09:44] it would be 'Desktop' not 'desktop' most likely [09:45] yes i know i am not noodie [09:45] GibbaTheHutt, i typed: "mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows" in the console, but it says: mount: mount point /media/windows does not exist [09:45] Pyru, if its java it may be able to work without wine [09:45] Pyru, some reason the java game cant work with the normal java? thats sort of the point of java [09:45] pyru: is its a java based game then you dont need wine [09:45] :) [09:45] Myx0x3, did you do the mkdir before to create that directory ? [09:45] IF its written right [09:45] Myx0x3, so mkdir /media/windows [09:45] no [09:46] it's written in java but there is a client installer, packed with dll's and crap. [09:46] GibbaTheHutt, okej, now i did that [09:46] Pyru, what game is this anyway? [09:47] Darkquest. It's a runescape classic remake :P (dunno if you ever heard of it) [09:47] Myx0x3, now try mounting it again [09:47] GibbaTheHutt, it says now: you must specify the filesystem type [09:47] I belvie ive gotten runescape working in my browser.. but perhaps that was a diffrent variant. [09:47] Myx0x3, try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows === init is now known as Guest19945 [09:47] does anybody in here know if there is a package that has perlcc in it? [09:48] Dr_Willis_ZNC, yes, it was different. This has an installer, which installs the client. [09:48] question: im running intrepid - can i edit a command trigged from clicking on a desktop shortcut? im running xbmc and when i click on the xbmc icon i also wants the pulse audio prosses to be killed.. [09:48] No clue why it's so choppy [09:48] running java in wine sounds like a good reason to be choppy [09:49] GibbaTheHutt, i got an error, w8 2sec... [09:49] hmm the runescape web site sent working for me now either.. it used to.. months ago [09:49] Dr_Willis_ZNC, http://www.darkq.org/client/Darkquest_installer.exe [09:50] if you are interested [09:50] GibbaTheHutt, it says: the device '/dev/sda1: invalid argument the device '/dev/sda1 dosent have a valid NTFS maybe you selected the wrong device....... [09:50] any perl developers in here? [09:50] Myx0x3, if you type in sudo fdisk -l does it show /dev/sda1 to be hpfs/ntfs ? [09:51] wait a minute -- "exe" implies the evil Wine [09:51] What do you want a perl developer for? [09:51] I find wine too buggy - I am really happy with my VM of XP for exactly those types of things [09:51] GibbaTheHutt, yes [09:51] it is fast and sits on a separate workspace out of the way in full screen mode [09:52] yeah if you don't mind the slow as molasses in January performance of VM [09:52] Myx0x3, is it possible for you somehow to put the output of fdisk -l and the output of that command on a nopaste site somewhere ? [09:52] Samizdat, ain't all that slow. [09:52] Im having a problem picking up a wireless network. I've activated the device driver but still no responce. Is there a package that needs to be updated? === init is now known as Guest64017 [09:52] Samizdat, my VM of XP is no slower than it ever was for me [09:52] Samizdat, i do have a sick system tho :) [09:53] i just want to see if there is a ubuntu package with perlcc in it [09:53] klsf3: I don't see one [09:53] GibbaTheHutt, im sorry its not possible :/ i can take a photo and upload it hehe:P... [09:53] * Samizdat weighs two things in the balance -- let's see, fifteen pages of Linux instructions on one hand... [09:53] id rather install it through ubuntu if i can rather than get it from CPAN [09:53] in the other hand, "double-click the exe and run it in Wine, and watch the blazing fast speed" [09:54] whichever hand will I choose? [09:54] Pyru, i got the web runescape going.. and i rember why i never played it.. :P [09:54] question: im running intrepid - can i edit a command trigged from clicking on a desktop shortcut? im running xbmc and when i click on the xbmc icon i also wants the pulse audio prosses to be killed.. [09:54] Samizdat, you must be the luckiest guy in the world [09:54] Dr_Willis_ZNC, yes I agree hehe. I just have alot of old friends that play, I help them develop graphics for this "re-make" game so to say [09:54] Myx0x3, it may help I guess if you do. I'm wondering if its corrupt or something [09:55] Samizdat, to have hit the small minority of exe's that work properly [09:55] Dr_Willis_ZNC, when I play it's really choppy, but this isn't the web based. This is a client that is installed. [09:55] baz I'm sure there's some bum apps in Wine, but I haven't met any yet [09:55] * Aurax is away: Gone away for now [09:56] There's right ways and wrong ways to run Wine too [09:56] GibbaTheHutt, hmm, is it okej if i upload it on a swedish site? [09:56] Myx0x3, doesn't matter [09:56] a bit of thought applied to a given Wine application goes a long way === init is now known as Guest90675 === Guest90675 is now known as iden [09:57] pyru yes. i see that.. i cant even login because i got no account :) it seems to be using 'jet' some sort of comercial Java-add-on-thinggie.. so good luck [09:57] GibbaTheHutt, http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/DSC06407.JPG [09:57] Staying away from the horror known as Wine-doors is a giant leap forward.

I'm just looking for at least one alternate solution to write up in a proposal [10:02] i take it no one knows about a read error? [10:06] i deleted my ~/.dmrc file, then created a new one with nothing in it, now I can't log in [10:06] GibbaTheHutt, is it possible to remove to HDD from the laptop and connect it to this computer? hehe :P [10:07] Nom, if you don't get an answer here you can try in #Ubuntu_marketing., GL [10:07] Myx0x3, depends on the device, may be possible. Sounds like it needs a repair though (software) [10:07] Hi, i want to do hardy->intrepid upgrade on a server. Can I mount the intrepid ISO and then do a dist-upgrade? Details of server upgrade on the ubuntu website deal with the alternate iso (+gui) or just internet based do-release-upgrade, not quite the same as what I want to do. Any ideas? [10:07] I can't get my pidgin to login. it just says there is a read error. Any thoughts on fixing?? [10:08] what should be in my .dmrc file?

[10:40] mrdudle: ok [10:40] mrdudle, this is not really a solution, but a lot of people like using aMSN for msn, even when they have pidgin - its just a lot more MSNy... if nothing works out install it, i'm sure u'll like it [10:40] oCean_, what do you mean by flags? sorry, im a ubuntu newbie [10:40] Reezan: I'll give it a try.. if you promise me one thing.. [10:40] i just realized using gparted, that I have installed Ubuntu in 3 partitions inside one extended [10:40] yeah what is it? [10:40] Gobby, adjust the volume control on your speakers [10:41] Reezan: never ever use words like any1 or 2 again [10:41] lol. [10:41] baz i have it installed [10:41] sure. I promise. [10:41] valdiks: fdisk shows output for partition (layout), while df shows filesystem layout. In theory it is possible to create a filesystem which is smaller than the actual partition. [10:41] Reezan: good.. what is your problem then? [10:41] you dont charged for each letter you use on here :) [10:41] mrdudle, not a fan? or u just want them all in one?

[10:42] Reezan: ok, what kind of network connection do you use? [10:42] shoroi: well, just make sure that you use the right options to the command. Examples: ("tar xvf file.tar" file extract all of the contents of the file.tar, as wil "unrar file.rar") [10:42] hello, I'm having trouble with my seahorse-agent... a few releases ago, it worked fine and stored my gpg passphrase for the whole session when using the seahorse applet. Now I have to type my passphrase for every single operation with that applet. Any suggestions? I already found out that I had the gnupg-agent running too, but i purged it and rebooted; nothing changed. [10:43] mrdudle, can u connect to anything else like aol, yahoo? [10:43] kl0x: it's not easy to install grub2. i had problems too. but it's working now.

I don't really know the reasons, maybe it's the extended partition containing these Linux partitions, but I tried to install it some months ago, when I had Linux partitions as primary and I couldn't anyway [10:45] my pidgin is working fine., [10:45] slart this has been happening for like nearly 12 hours [10:45] lets see if my msn is working [10:45] half reason i switched to yahoo was msn was always goin down.

In order to do a dual boot ubuntu/XP, do I still need to install XP first like used to be necessary?

[10:49] mrdudle: I don't know of anything else to check.. but since both amsn, pidgin and that other msn module refused to work I would guess it's a server error [10:49] oCean_: thanks! now it's all ok!

Weird, maybe I have some repositories.. type sudo aptitude update, sudo aptitude upgrade and sudo aptitude install winff then.. [11:25] sleepy_cat: I'll check it out [11:25] o [11:25] k [11:25] i think this bug is the relevant one but i cant really understand the fixes, i installed all the packages recomended but still get the same error [11:25] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/233950 [11:26] where do i find a gnupg key in a package anyone PLease [11:26] whoops sorry that was too fast a repeat [11:26] Ohh maybe that's because I installed it from deb package i had stored [11:26] kl0x: i am updating my machine now [11:26] lets see if it works [11:26] ubottu, Slart, thanks, that's an interesting guide [11:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:27] sleepy_cat: Ok, you need to install ffmpeg before, sudo aptitude install ffmpeg and then download .deb package for winff =/ [11:27] can u give me proper .deb cmd [11:27] sleepy_cat: That could be this http://biggmatt.com/files/winff-0.31-i386.deb [11:27] what i should type [11:27] I just noticed, there are much more apps for KDE than for GNOME. How come? [11:27] i guess wget would work [11:28] any help [11:28] bashca: you start gnome-ppp from menu? Maybe try start it from cli and start as "sudo gnome-ppp" [11:28] Why is GNOME standard for ubuntu when KDE has more apps? [11:28] hi, if I am logged in one ubuntu system how can I get my desktop in other ubuntu system [11:28] Heliodor: depends where you look to if there are "more' [11:28] Desktop apps [11:28] oCean_, it's work with sudo but i need to run as simple user ?? [11:28] Heliodor: its standard for ubuntu, kubuntu has kde as standard [11:28] Heliodor: That and Kubuntu is for KDE [11:28] Aight. [11:28] Heliodor: xubuntu uses xfce as standard [11:29] What is the best dist? [11:29] :-) [11:29] Talking about desktops... Has anyone installed Mezzo desktop for Ubuntu? [11:29] Heliodor: fluxbuntu uses fluxbox as standard [11:29] !best | Heliodor [11:29] Heliodor: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:29] kl0x: can u give me the terminal command for winff [11:29] I want it and I couldn't find it [11:29] i already installed mpeg [11:29] ffmpeg [11:29] Heliodor: i'd saymandriva but millions would disagree, its also offtopic [11:30] Dont worry, im not a "poller" [11:30] ActionParsnip: Mandriva? Why? [11:30] Heliodor: its what ive used longest so i'm most comfortable with it [11:30] Oh :) [11:30] Heliodor: there is no single "best distro" [11:30] But the apps are the same? [11:30] could anyone PLEASE tell me how to find a GnuPG key in a package [11:30] Heliodor: its a kde based linux system [11:30] Aah.. :) === init is now known as Guest98834 [11:31] that said it was unanimously decided that vi is better than emacs [11:31] Heliodor: puppy linux is also one of my top distros [11:31] kl0x: page not found [11:31] now how should i get winff [11:31] ActionParsnip: Under what criterias are they better in your opinion? [11:31] Heliodor: when you say kde has more apps be aware that they are not all ported to kde4 yet, but that all kde3/4 apps work in gnome and visa versa [11:32] actually could anyone tell me how to find the cinelerra package period? i just installed the deb but cant find it anywhere [11:32] kl0x: so sorry got dced [11:32] can u im me again [11:32] Rioting_pacifist: Yes, i noticed that they work, but not that good. Flaky graphics and slow, when using them in gnome [11:32] kl0x: also do i have to type in the entire code.. cut..copy..paste [11:32] qqx: tried just launching "cinelerra &" from a terminal [11:33] Heliodor: puppy is small and gives a tonne of functionality, its also mega friendly with setting up graphics and other stuff imho [11:33] doh [11:33] sleepy_cat: each line [11:33] kl0x: can u send me again [11:33] sleepy_cat: adds repositories , key and winff [11:33] Heliodor: try a few different distros, you may like them better than ubuntu [11:33] kl0x: hmm ok.. plz ping me again [11:33] Heliodor: they shouldnt be any slower (unless you have very little ram) perhaps if you need to reprofile your boot so it catches kde libs aswell as gnome, the looks can be fixed by using a similar theme in both [11:33] Heliodor: most people start with ubuntu as it the one making most noise right now but theres thousands of distros [11:33] ActionParsnip: Id rather stick to the most supported distro with the biggest user base:) [11:33] Hi, whats the best video editor for .avi? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:34] Heliodor: [11:34] Heliodor: debain? [11:34] Heliodor: BSD is also hugely awesome [11:34] Heliodor: you'll probably find redhat is more used due to its industrial use [11:34] i cant launch it "command not found" [11:34] ActionParsnip: Ive used freebsd for 5 years on servers, not desktop though, most packages and apps are so old. [11:34] erUSUL [11:34] qqx: "sudo updatedb && locate cinel" ? [11:35] hi all - does anyone know if i add a bookmark within a pdf document and then save it and this is done quite a few times reading through the pdf - does this lower the quality like constant saves to a jpg does? [11:35] Heliodor: gentoo is great if you want to watch your system grow [11:35] Rioting_pacifist: Debian has the biggest user base?? [11:35] qqx: dpkg -L cinelerrapackagename | grep bin <<< paste the output of this on pastebin please [11:35] ActionParsnip: Gentoo is sourcecode based right? [11:35] cn [11:35] I'm trying to copy a .ttf to /user/share/fonts/truetype/freefont but it keeps saying "Permission Denied". I am admin and I tried using sudo copy but apparently there is no such command as "copy" idk. how do I copy truetype to /usr/share/fonts? [11:35] hi chaps. Can anyone tell me how to run a command (grep "string" myfile.log) from the command line every second, so i see a constant update as to the results of the command ? [11:36] qqx: or run dpkg -c to see what is the actual contents of the deb [11:36] hello, well.. my question is.. i stop using ubuntu for about 8 months.. now im using xfce and i remember i delete the gui loging somehow and i dont remember how i do it.. i need it back because i want to log in as gnome.. any idea? [11:36] erUSUL, it just has some packages and a gpg key [11:36] technically speaking yet, because ubuntu, xandros, etc are all debian based, but generally most desktop users are on ubuntu or kubuntu [11:36] Heliodor: you use emerge like you do apt but you download and compile source code instead of prebuilt binary, it can be optomised to get better speed / resource use [11:36] My QQ cannot login ,does someone knows how to solve? [11:36] OllyM: could you use "tail -f /path/to/log" ? [11:36] Heliodor: as i say, there is more than ubuntu and the other are worth a try [11:37] Ah. [11:37] viktorkAZ: youll need to install xdm i think [11:37] anybody able to make prepare on x86_64 systems i cant find a fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/233950 [11:37] ActionParsnip: Hehe, im sure there is. But i think il be fine with Ubuntu, im using an OS to work on it, not mess around with it. [11:38] OllyM: otherwise you'll have to loop (while true; do grep string logfile; sleep 1; done) [11:38] Anyone got Java plugin working on 64 bit system? [11:38] hi, how to start graphical desktop for ubuntu server? [11:38] Heliodor, yes.. and all i did was install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' [11:38] qqx: you installed more than a single deb file ? [11:38] hi, can you please tell me how can i test that mysql and apache are running ? [11:38] Heliodor: ok, just saying you may find something better. You probably used windows before but changd to ubuntu, same kinda step [11:38] no theres one package and one gpg key [11:38] Gautam: test apache: http://localhost [11:38] Dr_Willis_ZNC: What?? [11:38] I cant seem to save sessions. When I logout and re-login all opened programs need to be re-opened again. Is there a way to open those automatically upon re-login/reboot? [11:39] ActionParsnip: Started with windows yes, ive used linux a lot though, but mostly servers. [11:39] Dr_Willis_ZNC: So unrestricted extras have java 64 bit for intrepid? [11:39] Heliodor, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras installs java and flash and some other bits for me.. thats all i did to get java working on my 64bit install [11:39] Heliodor: same kinda deal, just with an x server [11:40] Gautam: or cli: "/etc/init.d/apache2 status" [11:40] does anyone know how to start graphical desktop environment on text-based ubuntu server? [11:40] Heliodor, no idea if it was 64 or 32bit java.. but it works. [11:40] qqx: from what i can see from the manual the executable filename is "cinelerra" so there must have been some error installing it [11:40] new_to_ubunu: u dont want to start a desktop env on a server system :p [11:40] Dr_Willis_ZNC: Thanks for the help! [11:40] Dr_Willis_ZNC: but java plugin for mozilla doesn't work on 64 bit [11:40] RizR: does system->prefs->sessions-> session options help [11:40] i think i just installed the key rings [11:40] new_to_ubunu: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [11:40] lvlefisto, its working here it seems.. dont ask me how. [11:41] i want to, coz i'm new to it [11:41] lvlefisto, i was playing runequest earlier with it [11:41] simplexio: no :-) It seemed an obvious choice but doesnt have any effect. [11:41] ok thanks :) i'm testing it [11:41] new_to_ubunu: if you are new to ubuntu why did you get the server iso/ [11:41] thanks erUSUL [11:41] Ah, itś openJDK that wont work.... [11:41] qqx: no problem [11:41] coz i need samba server and apache [11:41] Dr_Willis_ZNC: maybe you are using icedtea or something else, 'cause sun's java just don't work [11:41] i used to run apache on win32 [11:41] Heliodor, yes.. the non-sun javas can cause problems [11:41] new_to_ubunu: you can install those on the desktop system [11:42] would you please recommend a software which allow me to cut scenes from DVD [11:42] Dr_Willis_ZNC: Indeed. the removedesk software wont work on anything else [11:42] new_to_ubunu: as a new user I'd strongly recommend the desktop system then install the apps you need [11:42] i thought the server will get me more reliable system [11:42] new_to_ubunu: they are both equally reliable [11:42] LoLs [11:43] new_to_ubunu: i think you should have looked at what you were actually downloading and what the real difference really is [11:43] new_to_ubunu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [11:43] i tested : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but i get an error result that the package is not foun [11:43] can you tell me the where is the destination folder of sound converter === new_to_ubunu is now known as new_to_ubuntu [11:44] Any idea what backup software is the best for ubuntu? Imageing that is. === new_to_ubuntu is now known as new_to_ubuntu- [11:44] new_to_ubuntu: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [11:44] Heliodor: you need to lose the "best" mentality dude [11:44] hm, i do both of them? [11:44] Heliodor: there is no best, otherwise no one would use anything else and the other projects ould die [11:44] ActionParsnip: Sorry about that. [11:44] !backup | Heliodor [11:44] Heliodor: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [11:44] lvlefisto, it does seem to be using icedtea for firefox. in about:plugins . but sun java for the other parts of the system [11:45] ActionParsnip: Perhaps that is a good thing? [11:45] Did someone knows how to jump into the Chinese'group [11:45] Hello all [11:45] someone chinese here? [11:45] Heliodor: no its not, different apps provide different capabilities, which will make one app best for one user but worst for another [11:45] !zh | lugia [11:45] !ch | lugia [11:45] lugia: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [11:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about ch [11:45] ActionParsnip: If there was a superior app, then the developers interrested in it could make it even better. Now every developer is scattered around many projects making the users confused. [11:45] thanks [11:46] ActionParsnip: I belive in cooperative superiority, not scattered diversity [11:46] Heliodor: not all users are equal, just like windows is not the best operating system, neither is linux, neither is bsd [11:46] Linux newbie - I'm playing with c compiling and to run my programs I need to put "./" at the start of each execution. This is apparently because it is not part of the "PATH" at the moment, can someone please tell me how I can add it to the "PATH" variable so I don't need to type ./ all the time? Thank you [11:46] 'specilization is for insects' :) [11:47] Peleus: sure [11:47] computers and software and os's are just tools.. I have a variaty of saws in my wood shop..and a varity of hammers. [11:47] Heliodor: its never going to happen. another good example is kde, gnome, xfce, fluxbox etc.... [11:47] Peleus: if you're just playing with the file, adding it to $PATH is overkill. [11:47] Heliodor: all are DEs but not one is best, its only best for the job for the individual user [11:47] Peleus: if your new executables are in /home/yourdir/bin, you can modify the PATH variable by "export PATH=$PATH:/home/yourdir/bin" [11:48] hi, qucik question. how do i turn off suspend entirely in ubuntu? everytime my laptop goes down in suspend-mode it refuses to start back up [11:48] ActionParsnip: Perhaps thats why OS X has much more users even though its not free. [11:48] where i can get public key of mediubuntu ?? [11:48] Heliodor: you'll find more users on windows [11:48] Before I drive myself mad... there's a simple way to make apache2 serve php5 scripts as scripts instead of sending the script back to the browser... i have this trouble every time I install php :( [11:48] Peleus, if you put binaries in your users /home/user/bin dir.. the default .bashrc/scripts WILL see that directroy and add that bin to the default path anyway. [11:48] Heliodor: doesnt make it best though [11:48] "export PATH=$PATH:/home/yourdir/bin" something I simply type into the terminal? Chousuke, any particular downside to doing it? [11:48] ActionParsnip: Yeah, but we all know thats because the common user have never seen any alternative. [11:48] Peleus: see your ~/.profile - edit that file to make the change permanent, otherwise you'll have to re-enter the command every time after login [11:48] Peleus: export PATH=$PATH:./ or something like that.. and and usually its considered bad way to do it [11:48] Peleus, the default .bashrc basicially does that. allready [11:48] Cite "working alternative" [11:49] simplexio: no. [11:49] Heliodor: now many have, but still prefer windows as its best for their needs, but millions disagree [11:49] Heliodor: but they will use whats best for them [11:49] ActionParsnip: Thatś because linux do not have the same application market, there is no money to be made. [11:49] Heliodor: wanna bet? [11:49] simplexio: ah, right, you noted that's no good. :) Sorry, reflex :P [11:49] Peleus: yes, type it in terminal. Use "echo $PATH" to see which directories are currently in your path. Remember, this will not make the executable available to other users on the system.. [11:49] ActionParsnip: Sure :) [11:49] where i can get public key of mediubuntu ?? [11:50] ActionParsnip: If there was money to be made, why is there no pay-for-apps? [11:50] Peleus, or at least it used to..i cant seem to find it now. :) [11:50] ActionParsnip: No accounting, no photoshop even though the users hunger for it. [11:50] So if I want to permanently add it to the path I need to edit the .profile so I don't need to repeat it each time I login. Otherwise alternatives can be to simply run my files in my /home/user/bin folder which is already located there. Seem about correct? [11:50] Heliodor: gnucash and gimp [11:51] Peleus: Indeed === prjktdtnt is now known as projektdotnet [11:51] bashca, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [11:51] ActionParsnip: I think where i am heading is, there is not commercial support and training for the apps. [11:51] Peleus: also, adding stuff to the path is fine (as long as it's not .) but you'll still have to move the things you compile into it. if you compile often that's no better than using ./ [11:51] Peleus, the last 4 lines of the .profile file add the bin dir to the path if it exists wehn you first login. that file gets read/used ONLY on the initial login i think. [11:51] No marketing [11:51] ActionParsnip: If no one sees it, it does not exist. [11:52] Peleus: of course, it's good when you have your program *done* and want to actually use it for stuff later. [11:52] No problem. Thank you very much for your help folks [11:52] Hi there. My system give me this message: You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "Carlos Alex Sander J. Gulo "1024-bit DSA key, ID 00ECFA93, created 2008-10-02 [11:52] ActionParsnip: Look at where Haiku is heading, and youl see a unity in developing that i have never seen before in an open source community. [11:52] Why does suspend and/or hibernate bug in ubuntu?! [11:52] I dont know what is it [11:53] What to do? [11:53] DavidVWallin: make sure swap is enabled [11:53] google hibernate swap [11:53] what does it mean when I get a message saying I have a DCC pending and I have to set the client to accept a file transfer [11:53] I'm fairly sure there is no fix for this, but I'll ask anyway just in case. My bluetooth mouse drops out after each restart / hibernation. I have to delete it from the profile and re-search for it to get it working again. Any ideas? [11:53] ActionParsnip: Though, Wine might "save" any desktop. I think itś the most important app of all time. [11:54] Goku, someone tried to send you a file... i wouldent accept files like that.. unless you knew y the guy sending them [11:54] Heliodor: Mandrakesoft recorded its first quarterly profit since 1999 of €270,000 on €1.42 million of revenue during the period between October 2003 and December 2003. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Mandriva [11:54] i requested it, but it gave me the message [11:54] Heliodor: its just people are so use to PS so they think they have to use it, there are a lot of alterntives [11:54] Goku, dcc file transfers often have issues these days with routers and firewalls.. [11:55] ahhh... that makes sense then, I'm using a router [11:55] ActionParsnip: But mandriva has a corp server software. thats where they make the money, not the desktop [11:55] i just get a blank screen when I log in; when i do /etc/init.d/gdm start it says [Fail] [11:55] thanks, brb [11:55] Heliodor: they can also charge for phone support [11:55] ActionParsnip: I dont care what app i use, ive tried using only GIMP for 2 years, but still prefer Photoshop. [11:56] Heliodor: the OS is free, the phone support isnt [11:56] thanks [11:56] ActionParsnip: Yes, that is one way. [11:56] I cant afford to buy Photoshop. [11:56] It is possible to build a cluster under Ubuntu 8.10 ? [11:56] Does gnome have an application that tracks the market? [11:56] Its looks encripted [11:56] Dr_Willis_ZNC: Ive spent over 5000euro on adobe software alone. I know what you mean :) [11:56] Does Ubuntu have a market tracker application? [11:57] Dylan__: market tracker? [11:57] Some... please... can i build a Cluster under Ubuntu 8.10 ??? [11:57] oh my god, i have to fetch 400MB+ from sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dekstop [11:57] Heliodor: Yea, for example, if I want to track the value of stocks, or the market, gold, etc. [11:57] new_to_ubuntu-: be glad you dont have to build it from source ;) [11:57] new_to_ubuntu-, so? [11:58] Dylan__: Ah, now, there is none. [11:58] new_to_ubuntu-, ivehad printer drivers under windows that were 200+mb downloads. [11:58] Dylan__: http://ubuntuguru.wordpress.com/2007/05/25/ubuntu-stock-market-programs/ [11:58] Cyberi know of clustering linux distros but i dont think you can run ubuntu as the head system [11:58] Heliodor: That is too bad [11:58] so, should i get the desktop iso? instead of doing this? [11:58] new_to_ubuntu-, i would. [11:58] ok [11:58] :(\ [11:58] new_to_ubuntu-: result would be the same :) [11:59] new_to_ubuntu-: just curious. You want to run server, for server purposes, right. Why do you need the desktop? [11:59] ... some other system for clustering ? [11:59] RedHat ??? [11:59] except that i will be able to burn the iso and have a backup CD later [11:59] Cyber_Hades: freebsd with webmin is good for clustering. [11:59] Hey Dr_Willis, Just wanted to let you know that it turned out it was cuz the DCC was set to auto accept file transfers and it wouldn't go through that way [11:59] Cyber_Hades, i recall some disrto-variants focused on clustering... but ive never used them.. [11:59] Weird but iono [12:00] Goku, it stayed there to tell you it was done.. [12:00] My plan is to create cluster betwen 2 pc.... both Ubuntu 8.10 ! It's that possible ? [12:00] new_to_ubuntu-: i'd recommend it as a new ubuntu user [12:00] i'm planning to install wine too, that needs desktop right? [12:00] any reviewer for this please ? http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=plasmoid-network-manager [12:01] thanks in advance :) [12:01] new_to_ubuntu-: it needs X libs so yes [12:01] new_to_ubuntu-: yes [12:01] peace out [12:01] anyone very fdamiliar with tinydns? [12:01] !info tinydns [12:01] Package tinydns does not exist in intrepid [12:01] new_to_ubuntu-: im not sure you can just install the desktop on the server, you would probably neew the x-server and stuff to [12:02] new_to_ubuntu-: you can install all the smaba goodness you like after you install the desktop [12:02] installing the desktop stuiff to the 'server install' can cause some issues. [12:02] kl0x: [12:02] from what ive seen asked in here about it. [12:02] BAAH [12:02] i've got a bind server that is forwarding to a tinydns server but i never get responses back.. can't figure out why. [12:02] There should be a big notice somewhere that Xinerama DOES NOT WORK. [12:02] with compiz. [12:03] What to do? [12:03] Heliodor, Hmm.. it works here.. well actually imusing twinview... that has xinerama features built in [12:03] any Swedish users here? how can I produce a | with a swedish xkblayout? [12:03] ALT-GR + < gives me ½ [12:03] Dr_Willis_ZNC: Not exacly, i have dual screens and when i activate xinerama it disables compositing. [12:03] lol... i look FreBsd... it's just shell. [12:04] Heliodor: copiz sucks anyways [12:04] ActionParsnip: I think itś very good. Fast to. [12:04] Cyber_Hades: install an xserver any you are golden [12:04] Heliodor: i find fluxbox is waaay faster [12:04] ActionParsnip: But compatible? [12:04] Which is the default passphrase of Ubuntu to my user? [12:05] hi [12:05] como va [12:05] Heliodor: its fully compatible, why would it not be? [12:05] how i can enable DMIX on spdif ALC882? [12:05] alguien habla español [12:05] ?? [12:05] yo [12:05] Heliodor: whats it going to be incompatible with exactly? [12:06] ActionParsnip: I remember compiz had problems with apps like wine and video. [12:06] xess, entra a #ubuntu-es [12:06] !sp | xess [12:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about sp [12:06] !es | xess [12:06] xess: 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. [12:06] I never created any passphrase [12:06] Heliodor: thats because its a bit flakey and uses 3d to draw the desktop, fluxbox doesnt have all that sort of stuff [12:06] ok gracias [12:06] Why Ubuntu is asking me this ? [12:06] de nada [12:07] ActionParsnip: Hum... never heard of fluxbox does it have window grouping and tabbing to? [12:07] because he dont know :s [12:07] nop... :)) I tryng to install cluster on Ubuntu 8.10... it's my favorite OS :)) [12:07] xess: lol [12:07] I bought a netbook today and all seemed well with the Ubuntu installation until networkmanager broke after a reboot. Clicking on the natwork-manager notification icon shows "device is unmanaged" but the wifi is working anyway. Any ideas on how to get network-manager working again? [12:07] Heliodor: try it: sudo apt-get install fluxbox [12:07] Heliodor: log off, change session to fluxbox and log on [12:07] ActionParsnip: Um.. wont that mess things up? [12:08] Heliodor: no, you are simply logging on to a different desktop environment, it won't "mess anything up" [12:08] Okay, il try :) [12:08] Heliodor: you can freely switch between desktop environments as you wish [12:08] How was called the app that could show you your gdm without logging out' [12:09] guys, how do i tell which usb device is connected to a usb port? [12:09] ActionParsnip: KDE to?? [12:09] sorry, which block device is associated with which usb port? [12:09] Heliodor: what? [12:09] kl0x: System > Administration > Login window [12:09] ActionParsnip: Can i change to KDE aswell? [12:09] Heliodor: you need to log off and change it to fluxbox [12:09] Heliodor: you could install xfce too and select that at logon [12:10] ActionParsnip: Yes, i know, but can i have gnome, kde, flyxbox etc at the same time? [12:10] savvas: Thx, but I meant an app that could open a new session in a window, so you dont' need to log out to log in with other user [12:10] Heliodor: yes [12:10] Super. :) [12:10] Heliodor: you can only RUN one in the foreground for each X server, you can USE the libs of the other DEs for the other apps [12:10] I read something about Linux clustering over Kerrighed... Latest version is Kerrighed 2.3.0. It is based on Linux 2.6.20. Working on Ubuntu 8.10 yes or no ???? [12:10] ActionParsnip: Yes, that i understand. [12:10] Heliodor: like you can run KDE but run gedit if you have GTK libs installed [12:11] kl0x: ah you mean Fast user switch applet? Right click on your gnome panel ("taskbar") and select "Add to panel" [12:11] ActionParsnip: What will happen to the apps, do i have to install them on each desktop? [12:11] Heliodor: no its the same system so the apps are all available [12:11] guys how can i tell which usb port is assocaited with a particular block device? [12:11] Heliodor: i personally run fluxbox but use kde apps [12:11] Oh... thats perfect :D [12:11] enyone.... [12:12] Cyber_Hades: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EasyUbuntuClustering [12:12] kl0x: sorry, the app is called "User switcher" [12:12] savvas: nope, it's not it, i'll find out thx [12:12] oCean_: nice find bro [12:12] tnx 4 link [12:12] Bah, why do all fluxbox screenshots use nerdy wierd apps and no standard ones. [12:12] kl0x: maybe you want to try out FreeNX [12:13] Heliodor: there are no standard apps [12:13] Heliodor: all users are different [12:13] Indeed. [12:13] I think there's a fluxbuntu floating around somewhere [12:14] standard app = xterm and vi :) [12:14] Heliodor: http://fluxbuntu.org/ [12:14] lvlfisto: It's not it either but thx, didn0't know that app, sounds cool [12:14] Heliodor: here's mine: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/desktop.jpg?t=1232021063 [12:14] crunchbang linux = ubuntu with openbox instead of fluxbox i think also. [12:14] Heliodor: standard enough apps for you? [12:14] hi! how do i remove older kernel versions from my /boot ? [12:15] ActionParsnip: Thats fluxbox? [12:15] should i just type rm *version* ? [12:15] Heliodor: yeah all the apps in the tray are kde apps (amarok, ktorrent etc) [12:15] poncio: you can apt-get remove them, or just comment them out in /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:15] ActionParsnip: No, thats a graveyard ;) [12:15] poncio, i would just leave them alone. just in case [12:15] hey [12:15] anyone can help me ?:p [12:16] Heliodor: its slick and lightweight, my system can run compiz with ease, I just dont like all the clutter [12:16] im new to ubuntu, i changed resolution and now i have 256 colors, instead of 32 bits [12:16] ActionParsnip: Thanks for all the info, il try some out :) [12:16] poncio, thers a setting in menu.lst to only show a set # of them. i always have it at least keep 2 [12:16] and i can't change the refresh rate, its 0 all time [12:16] !ask | Dahiss [12:16] Dahiss: 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. :-) [12:16] i actualy deleted them the other day because i had no space in the boot drive... [12:16] poncio: how many linux kernels do you see? [12:16] okay, ive changed resolution to 1024 x 768, and now i have 256 instead of 32 and 0 refresh rate :P [12:16] ActionParsnip: I thought compiz was module based? Remove the clutter and use the functions that improve the user experience? [12:16] Hey, when I do xrandr it says my rez will only go to 1024*768 - How can I make it higher? [12:17] the other problem is i deleted the last version by mistake.. so i have to boot an older one... [12:17] my gdm won't start. help? [12:17] how do i restore the last version? [12:17] ActionParsnip: Oh... this was a bad idea, compiz benchmark. [12:17] Heliodor: i want my DE so when I hit minimise its gone, not a song and dance. 3d naff just looks tacky [12:17] Got 1785FPS atleast :) [12:18] Hey, when I do xrandr it says my rez will only go to 1024*768 - How can I make it higher? [12:18] why i got 256 colors, instead of 32 bits ?:P, i just changed resolution [12:18] ActionParsnip: Yes, i dont like waiting for animations either, so i speed them up very much [12:18] Heliodor: means nothing unless you say your settings too [12:18] poncio: go to System > Administration > Synaptic package manager. Click on "Status" on the lower left corner. See inside "Installed (local or obsolete)" - Select a package you what you want to remove, right-click on it and press "Mark for Complete Removal". Also in Status, check out "Not Installed (residual config)" [12:19] ActionParsnip: I noticed that, when changing to expose like thingie, i get 1443FPS [12:19] will dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg repair gdm? [12:19] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X windows in the top left corner that wont go away. [12:19] Heliodor: its enough either way, dont sweat it [12:20] can i change someway, my resoultion back to the 1980 x .... (but my old 17, is not good for it), to get normal colors back? [12:20] Heliodor: you cat even see that many frames [12:20] Can anyone tell me how to make my resolution higher than 1024*768? === elpolilla is now known as elsueco === ajp is now known as AngelFace [12:20] Solixa: what video card? [12:20] ActionParsnip: Last time i used ubuntu, i got 65FPS max even without limiting [12:20] ActionParsnip, nVidia 8700M GT [12:20] Heliodor: TV film runs at 24FPS and looks fine [12:20] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X window in the top left corner that wont go away. Help, it's preventing me from logging off! [12:20] savvas, wich packages should i change then? [12:21] ActionParsnip: yes, i know :) [12:21] Heliodor: so anything above is fine [12:21] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X window in the top left corner that wont go away. Help, it's preventing me from logging off! I need to go back to GNOME! [12:21] poncio: the "Not installed (residual config)" are all safe to mark for complete removal. it's packages you removed and have leftover configuration files (removes stuff from root system files/folders, NOT your home directory configuration files) [12:21] ActionParsnip: Yeah. [12:21] Hi, under ubuntu, which file browser is better? thanks [12:21] Solixia: are you using the proprietary drivers? [12:21] Nautilus [12:22] Ghone, no idea. [12:22] toader: i use firefox [12:22] Ghone, new to linux. [12:22] poncio: in "Installed (local or obsolete)" lists packages that YOU installed (with a .deb file) or packages that are NOT supported anymore. All linux-image* packages in there are safe to remove. [12:22] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X window in the top left corner that wont go away. Help, it's preventing me from logging off! I need to go back to GNOME! Please help me! I am new! [12:22] toader: try a few, see which you like, [12:22] Heliodor: he wants a file browser [12:22] I need to know why isn't gdm-2.24 included by default in ubuntu? [12:23] so, its isn't possible to get my old resolution back? [12:23] is it a security issue with gdm 2.24? [12:23] Solixia: for best performance with an nVidia card you'll need the proprietary drivers. [12:23] Haha, lol, sorry about that :) [12:23] toader: konqueror, thunar, rox, nautilus [12:23] toader: dolphin [12:23] Ghone, Where can I get them? [12:23] ActionParsnip: thanks, which is better [12:23] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X window in the top left corner that wont go away. Help, it's preventing me from logging off! I need to go back to GNOME! Please help me! I am new! [12:23] toader: i prefere nautlius, it has tabs [12:23] toader: none is better, try each one for a while, see which you like [12:23] Some one plese help! [12:23] toader: I use dolphin personally [12:24] Solixa: run: lspci | grep -i vga [12:24] ActionParsnip: do dolphin support tabs? [12:24] hello [12:24] Heliodor: yes [12:24] Anyone? [12:24] Heliodor: dunno, I dont use it enough really, I usually use command line [12:24] What is the tool for changing compiz themes? [12:24] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X window in the top left corner that wont go away. Help, it's preventing me from logging off! I need to go back to GNOME! Please help me! I am new! [12:24] Heliodor: head over to the dolphon site and see [12:24] Heliodor: or install it and see [12:25] Heliodor: you can always uninstall [12:25] Solixia: You can use the restricted drivers manager or EnvyNG to get nVidia drivers. [12:25] ActionParsnip, xeon@xeonx:~$ lspci | grep -i vga [12:25] -bash: lspci: command not found [12:25] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X window in the top left corner that wont go away. Help, it's preventing me from logging off! I need to go back to GNOME! Please help me! I am new! Someone or anyone? [12:25] Hi, i have a machine with Ubuntu 8.10 that locks up on startup (At one time it did boot fine). When I do recovery mode, it hangs at EMU10K1_Audigy 0000:02:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ... what do I need to do on this machine to get back into Ubuntu? [12:25] ActionParsnip: About uninstalling, i saw that when i remove apackage, it only removes the main package not the libs and other files! [12:26] Solixa: its ell ess pee see eye [12:26] The X window has the normal red x as it's icon, is black, nd won't close! [12:26] Heliodor: sudo apt-get autoremove [12:26] hi all - does anyone know if i add a bookmark within a pdf document and then save it and this is done quite a few times reading through the pdf - does this lower the quality like constant saves to a jpg does? [12:26] Heliodor: synaptic uses the same attitude you are talking about [12:26] Heliodor: even better is [12:26] ActionParsnip, i did that [12:26] Heliodor: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [12:26] ActionParsnip: autoremove? [12:26] Heliodor: man apt-get [12:26] hi everybody, i would know how do i do to disable or delete the close button in gnome window? [12:27] Heliodor: theres also deborphan [12:27] Lordveda: Obviously not a problem. [12:27] Solixa: its a standard command [12:27] It didn't work [12:27] I'm afraid I may have to reinstall Ubuntu on this machine, which I really don't want to do. [12:27] Solixia: do you have something called "Hardware Drivers" under System > Administration menu? [12:28] Nothing on the compiz themer? [12:28] Solixa: close the terminal and open a new one [12:28] Solixa: lspci [12:28] ActionParsnip, I tried it with Konsole and xterm [12:28] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X window in the top left corner that wont go away. Help, it's preventing me from logging off! I need to go back to GNOME! Please help me! I am new! Someone or anyone? [12:28] The X window has the normal red x as it's icon, is black, nd won't close! [12:29] how do i reinstall packages? I might need to reinstall gdm from the command line [12:29] Solixa: can you try tab completing it. this is most unusual [12:29] aeosynth: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm [12:29] Please help! [12:29] Hi, i have a machine with Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.27-7-generic) that locks up on startup (At one time it did boot fine). When I do recovery mode, it hangs at EMU10K1_Audigy 0000:02:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ... what should I do on this machine to get back into Ubuntu? I am afraid I may have to reinstall the OS, which I really don't want to do if I don't absolutely have to. [12:30] ActionParsnip, is not in the list [12:30] savvas, how do i get my "2.6.24-23" kernel back? i only have "2.6.24-22" now... [12:30] ActionParsnip, any other alternatives? [12:30] poncio: which ubuntu release are you using? [12:31] Solixa: lshw -C display [12:31] Solixa: i think you have a problem if lspci is not a command [12:31] Probably [12:31] neither is lshw [12:31] When I installed IceWM, I installed the thinblack2 theme. Now there is a weird X window in the top left corner that wont go away. Help, it's preventing me from logging off! I need to go back to GNOME! Please help me! I am new! Someone or anyone? [12:31] The X window has the normal red x as it's icon, is black, nd won't close! [12:31] The X window has the normal red x as it's icon, is black, nd won't close! [12:31] poncio: go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and paste the output of this command: uname -a [12:31] Please help! [12:31] mib_gzbeyy9u: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:32] ActionParsnip, What should I do? [12:32] Solixa: gimme a sec, let me see what i can find [12:32] ActionParsnip, kk [12:33] does anyone else have a solution to missing lspci and lshw commands [12:33] savvas, here it is: "Linux multivac 2.6.24-22-generic #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 18:32:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" [12:33] Hi, anyone has working hybernate on Toshiba notebook with Ubuntu 8.10? [12:34] Solixa: are you fully up to date? [12:34] !hibernate | su1tan [12:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate [12:34] poncio: ok now the output of this command: lsb_release -r [12:34] Solixa: I'm very curious to know what the result of: ls /usr/bin/ls* [12:34] ActionParsnip, should be. Slackware 12.2 [12:35] ActionParsnip, thanks for correction [12:35] savvas, 8.04 [12:35] ActionParsnip: lshw can be installed separately, I'm not sure in which package lspci is [12:35] Solixa: this is ubuntu support, not slackware [12:35] ActionParsnip, someone sent me here. Linux is linux, right? [12:36] Solixa: no otherwise there would be one BIG room labeled #linux [12:36] Linux is pronounced as Linux. [12:36] Solixa, thers is a big rool called #linux :) [12:36] room [12:36] and one for #slackware i imagine [12:36] oh, right. /fail. This is a pretty huge room though [12:36] Solixa: those commands are standard in ubuntu, obviously not in slackware, go head to #slackware [12:36] poncio: can you paste at www.pastebin.com (and give me the link) the output of: apt-cache policy linux-generic linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic [12:36] #Slackware is on this server? [12:36] Dr_Willis_ZNC: and all linux users would be in it, inc us [12:36] ok [12:37] Solixa, join it and see? [12:37] Just did [12:37] Solixa: yes theres 250 people in there [12:37] ;P [12:37] Well, thanks guys. [12:38] I'm going, when I find the app I tell ya, I had installed it before formating, but I found it casually.. [12:38] i'm trying to use the packages on intrepid.alternative but apt-get update keeps ignoring it. I used apt-cdrom to add to my source.list. Any ideas what is wrong? [12:38] C ya guys [12:39] Holy shit, there is a jungle of backup apps out there for linux! [12:39] Heliodor: yep and all work slightly different [12:39] OxDeadC0de: linux is pronounced as /ˈlɪnəks/ (IPA), but there are variations: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux/msg/53a76cbbbcb6e1c8?pli=1 [12:39] ActionParsnip: so i noticed. [12:40] savvas, it is like i told you... http://pastebin.com/m50cb9c7f i just deleted the wrong files on my /boot ... [12:40] hi [12:40] ActionParsnip: rsync seem to fit my needs best [12:40] hahahaha savvas [12:40] HI, how to make a file browser as the default browser? [12:40] Heliodor: then install it, it is the best (for you) [12:40] :) [12:40] ActionParsnip: Indeed :) [12:40] ActionParsnip: I see what you are trying to do ;) [12:41] Heliodor: it just makes you look smarter and less ignorant to other apps [12:41] ActionParsnip: It does, maybe diversity is good afterall [12:41] i have this strange problem with ubuntu, i installed it yesterday in a partition after formatting it as ext3 but was not able to install grub, so i manually added the entry to menu.lst but was not able to boot into it [12:41] poncio: execute this (all in one line): sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-generic linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic; sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic [12:42] poncio: if asked something, press "Y" and hit enter :) [12:42] when i checked from pclinux os i see that the partition is fat16 [12:42] ok [12:42] i'll try it now... [12:42] th [12:42] thx [12:42] poncio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:43] savvas, i had already tried the "reinstall linux-generic" part... :) [12:44] savvas, seems to have worked. [12:44] Heliodor: i only show and demonstrate, I cannt change minds, that is for you to decide [12:44] savvas, thx [12:45] how can i tell when a file was *created* [12:45] ActionParsnip: You really try to have an open mind, dont you? :) [12:45] ActionParsnip: Well, i appriciate it, a lot [12:45] Heliodor: just like trying ubuntu, you may have hated it and ran back to windows [12:45] Hi. I accidentally deleted the /dev/hdb device node. Rebooting does not bring it back. Recreating it with mknod leads to mount saying 'mount: /dev/hdb is not a valid block device'. How should I get my cdrom to be usable under this installation of ubuntu again? [12:45] Heliodor: but its good to try [12:46] ActionParsnip: It is. :) [12:46] poncio: ok, glad to hear it :) [12:46] nzz: how did you delete the node? [12:47] * ActionParsnip is a big hippy with dreads [12:47] howlingmadhowie: uhm... rm. I'd made a symlink to it, then was too tired and made a symlink the other way, then removed both since they were circular and unusuable at that point. [12:48] nzz: the way i understood it, the nodes are created when linux boots. is the cd drive recognised when you boot? (cat /var/log/messages | grep -i cd) [12:49] all of the lines matching that are ioport/iomem ranges or usb hcd related [12:50] Anyone able to get bluetooth consistently working at the moment? [12:50] the cdrom drive was working for more than a year, though [12:50] How to discover which is my passphrase?? I never created this passphrase, but the system is asking me this [12:50] nzz: that's strange. is it still recognised in bios? [12:50] any way to check without rebooting? [12:50] My Ubuntu machine is locking up on startup, when doing a recovery mode it was locking up when trying to load my sound blaster live card. I took the card out and ubuntu booted just fine.. however the card seems to be working fine in XP (I dont have any speakers to verify). What could be causing ubuntu to lock up when it tries to load the drivers for the sound blaster live card? [12:51] nzz: i don't think so :( [12:51] nzz: what does command "eject" output?

[13:24] 4 logical maxi [13:24] or 3 + 1 extended [13:24] Cyber_Hades, Logicals are inside extended to increase the limit of 4 primary [13:24] Cyber_Hades: ugly history; you can only have 4 primary partitions, so extended partitions are a hack to let you have more [13:24] and an extended can have many logical disks in it [13:24] nzz: i just want them to see the many folders, but not be able to go in them [13:25] question when im out youtube the video sometimes turns out gray and i cant fix it i can sometimes by refreshing what should i do?

[14:00] jrib: ah [14:01] alexb2283: confirm that the line actually isn't invalid? [14:01] nzz, there is a x terminal can be cloned? [14:01] nzz: no whitespaces, two lines, all clean [14:01] leon_: I genuinely do not know [14:01] nzz: that came out wrong. whitespaces where appropriate. no blank lines i mean [14:01] maybe xterm [14:02] alexb2283: does it work on another machine/setup? [14:02] dapratsta: what happens if you try the alternate install? [14:02] nzz, i got a critical problem. [14:02] leon_: actually im pretty sure its xterm... i just dont know how [14:02] leon_: unfortunately, I neither understand your problem, nor have a solution [14:02] Ghone: same thing [14:03] nzz, thank you. [14:03] leon_: sorry :( [14:04] nzz: everything worked on this machine until i "accidentally" purged the running kernel and installed another one which wasn't bootable. nothing has changed from the configuration perspective, but i'm forced to reinstall the proper kernel through a livecd (since the installed system won't boot anymore) [14:04] hi [14:04] How do I install nvidia drivers for my 8600 GT for Ubuntu 8.10 (x64)? [14:04] tr3nd: system -> administration -> hardware drivers [14:04] tr3nd: Systrem>Admin>Hardware Drivers [14:04] i got a weitd issue with gstreamer based apps, they stop playback of mp3 streams after each song with a error [14:04] nzz: i'm chrooted in the installed system and have the basics mounted (/proc /sys /dev /boot) -- the apt-get install for the new kernel works, except for cryptsetup [14:05] install system / administrator / driver hardware [14:05] alexb2283 - hm. Odd :/ [14:05] use last release of driver [14:05] gellen [14:05] gellen [14:05] can somebody help me about installing ati graphic card on ubuntu 8.10 [14:05] Those drivers doesn't seem to work. [14:05] !doesn't work | tr3nd [14:05] tr3nd: Doesn't work is a strong statement. 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. [14:06] tr3nd .... get driver www.nvidia.com [14:06] anyone got an idea? [14:06] last driver for linux [14:06] i tried [14:06] nzz: http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8725/119200930530pmdn1.png [14:06] tr3nd which driver version are you trying to use with this card as mine works fine [14:06] Is there a GTK theming channel around anywhere? [14:06] robert85, http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/180.22/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.22-pkg2.run this one [14:07] with either driver and i have the same card but one did give me some issues that the other didn't [14:07] ronny: do you have problems with pulseuadio? [14:07] H0rA: seems to work fine, any way to test to be sure i dont have some weird issue? [14:07] robert85, how do i install that? [14:08] ronny: please run: gstreamer-properties and test if your audio setting is ok. [14:08] alexb2283: hm - can you use boot the server without a livecd after, or not? [14:09] I can't connect to any wireless networks. My Acer Aspire 4530 has an "Atheros AR928X Wireless adapter", and I'm running 64bit. Any ideas? Wired works. [14:09] * oCean_ finally got sound working on gf new laptop :) [14:09] ronny: sometimes pulseaudio hangs. and you dont have sounds. you can switch to alsa to test. [14:09] tr3nd why are you trying to install it this way --> use the already disscussed method System menu, Administration, Hardware Drivers [14:09] H0rA: works fine with both, pulse and alsa === benjamin_ is now known as Pignoufou === chattan1 is now known as chattan [14:10] tr3nd then select the newer driver version 177 [14:10] ronny: with apps do you use? [14:10] tried with rythmbox, totem [14:11] nzz: humm ? the kernel won't boot if i leave it like that [14:11] robert85, i did, but apps are still slow when i open them [14:11] works fine with audacious (wich afair does not use gst) [14:11] nzz: it complains about a missing root device (the rootfs never gets decrypted and therefore never shows up) [14:11] ronny: we need some logs. without it's not easy to help you. [14:12] tr3nd what do you mean apps are slow when starting, which apps etc, [14:12] ronny: usually it should work on a clean ubuntu installation. [14:13] robert85, firefox, terminal, everything... i dont think those drivers are working in hardware drivers. i want to install the one from the nvidia website but have no idea how to run that file [14:13] tr3nd - have you enabled Compiz at all this is mainly only candy though [14:13] Jack_Sparrow: had to rm * my .cache/session [14:13] anyone know why my Ubuntu doesnt finish installing? gets to brown/orange screen; stops, then reboots after a couple hours [14:13] robert85, no i haven't [14:13] H0rA: how can i log that stuff? [14:14] ronny: example. run rhythmbox in the console. and you will see the errors. [14:15] !brokenmsn [14:15] MS upgraded their MSN Messenger servers, causing newest 3rd party clients unable to connect. Workaround for pidgin 2.5.2 users is « sudo apt-get install msn-pecan » Restart pidgin, create an account of type wlm and supply your MSN credentials [14:15] yakuz, Are you having issues with msn [14:16] tr3nd - open term and change directory to the directory where you have saved the downloaded driver [14:16] I just installed ubuntu and before I created an account in pidgin i did "sudo apt-get install msn-pecan" but I don't have type wlm in the list. Why? [14:16] robert85, ok [14:16] tr3nd once there Sudo su and ur admin password [14:16] !hibernate | su1tan [14:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate [14:16] H0rA: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/100366/ <- whats what i get on startup, very weird [14:16] so you will execute the following as root [14:16] robert85, Please dont suggest sudo su [14:17] robert85, ok [14:17] Jack_Sparrow: on another computer I used msn before it broke and then did the msn-pecan thing and It added WLM but not on the fresh install. [14:17] robert85, Sudo SU: Instead of Sudo SU... Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. [14:17] tr3nd, See above please [14:17] whats the difference [14:18] "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.22-pkg2.run" or you can get away with "sh NVIDIA*.run" [14:18] yakuz, WHat version numbers, the newer one will have an issue from what I remember [14:18] tr3nd, Sudo SU: Instead of Sudo SU... Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell. [14:18] Jack_Sparrow: 2.5.2 , not the newest [14:19] #winehq [14:19] tr3nd the difference has to do with security issues and dangers to the rest of your system and jack is correct it is not the suggested method [14:19] ronny: i just google a bit and got some pages with this error message. maybe kernel problem. [14:19] given a text file listing a _slew_ of packages in the form pack1\npack2\n... is there apt-get switch to read the file and install them all? [14:19] robert85, You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. [14:19] i get this error [14:19] tr3nd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:19] His method is a better one all together [14:19] H0rA: twisted is a weird python lib (on my peronal hate list) [14:19] yakuz, were you able to install pecan? [14:19] ronny: i search with this string: Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not open device /dev/radio0 [14:20] robert85, ty [14:20] Jack_Sparrow: maybe I need to make apt-get update first? [14:20] H0rA: i have no tuners, so that looks ok [14:20] yakuz, cant hurt [14:20] robert85, i got error about x server [14:20] ronny: it seems a big problem. i can't help you now. good luck.

[14:24] robin0800: not sure what you're getting at [14:25] ronny: i just read, that some guys had this problem after upgrade to kernel 2.6.27-9.

[14:27] H0rA: hmk, backup nightmare for me ;P [14:27] robin0800: using blender for 2D illustration would be like amputating an arm and eating it for lunch. [14:28] ronny: why? i always backup with partimage before i upgrade my system. it is easy. [14:28] hi when connecting my laptop at work I'm behind a proxy however when I am at home I work without a proxy, is there a way to create a script that connect my laptop at work through the proxy and when working at home without proxy? [14:29] Anyone know how to install Nvidia drivers for Ubuntu 8.10 x64 [14:29] H0rA: dell factory partitoning, ie root + home on the same partition [14:29] !home [14:29] Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [14:29] tr3nd: I told you, use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers... [14:29] hi, is there 64bit ubuntu faster than the 32bit ubuntu? [14:30] jrib, i want to install from the website [14:30] tr3nd: why? It's better to use the repositories [14:30] in system respon(when clicking ...) [14:30] Jack_Sparrow: i grew to a few hundred gigabytes [14:30] etech: not faster, but it can handle more memory. [14:30] ronny: ah. ok. it's a good idea to sepperate your home folder to a new partition. [14:30] Package installer had been rozen for multiple minutes now, and I can't force quit. What now? [14:30] etech, Not by much, easier for you to use 32 unless you need to use more than 4 gigs of ram [14:30] jrib: because its better [14:30] squirt33: what is it installing? [14:30] so the working feeling is the same? [14:30] tr3nd: correct, repositories are better, so use them [14:31] i have 2gb ram [14:31] etech: yes, but things are missing, like java plugin [14:31] jrib: no, i want to run the file on the website [14:31] tr3nd: better and *easier* [14:31] H0rA: i know, i just was in a rush when i got the laptop [14:31] ok [14:31] !nvidia > tr3nd [14:31] tr3nd, please see my private message [14:31] etech, 32 bit [14:31] kick me i is a troll [14:31] and once the mess is done migration is HELL [14:31] tr3nd: read what ubottu sent you then [14:31] kick kick kick kick [14:31] hmm [14:31] ronny: i know this problem :) we are always in rush ;-) [14:32] jrib: A wine package (older - there is a regression) and the system doesn't even see it. This also happened while trying to install gnomenu (they have current complied packages). [14:32] is it possible to create a script that connects me automaticly to the proxy server at work and to my normal internet connection at home (without proxy) and if so how to do it [14:32] squirt33: what do you mean "the system doesn't even see it"? [14:33] will a .deb debian package run fine in ubuntu ? [14:33] paul68, Writing custom scripts for things like that are beyond the scope of this support channel.. perhaps /join #bash [14:33] !debian [14:33] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [14:33] silv3r_m00n: not necessarily. Use the ubuntu repositories [14:33] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [14:33] jrib: Not showing up using ps aux or the system manager (package installer running as a process).

(used sudo aptitude install scribble to get it on) [14:35] squirt33, Is this a fresh install [14:35] Cyl: Try language support in the adminstration menu [14:35] Peleus: sudo aptitude remove scribble === dummy is now known as Handsome35 [14:35] !apt > Peleus [14:35] Peleus, please see my private message [14:35] Jack_Sparrow: Nope, upgraded from 8.04 a couple of days ago.

[14:37] Jack_Sparrow: Just launched software sources to look for more and now it's frozen too. [14:38] silv3r_m00n, I think it is just more of a skin for gim that puts the commands where photoshop people are used to seeing them [14:38] Jack_Sparrow: yes [14:38] silv3r_m00n: It's a hack, personally one that I find doesn't work [14:39] squirt33, That sounds like your problem area.. do it from a term gedit /etc/apt/sources.list === The-Compiler is now known as Marguerida [14:39] HI everyone: anyone using StudioUbuntu [14:39] Jack_Sparrow: It's HUGE!

[16:09] Slart: not anymore, now :) [16:09] oCean_: good [16:09] piolo: diff will do folders.. just do "diff folder1 folder2" and it will reports differences and so on [16:09] piolo: but what are you looking for.. the difference as in sizes? Of the difference as in content of the directories? [16:10] Slart: I stand corrected [16:10] oCean_, I am looking for the difference as in the content. But since two files with the same name should be the same file, I would be happy about something a bit faster [16:10] piolo: see what Slart said. "diff /dir1 /dir2" will work. [16:11] Slart, thanks but that is not very readable. [16:11] hello [16:11] oCean_, I did that.. is there soemthing a bit more readable [16:11] piolo: is not? [16:11] piolo: huh? what kind of output do you want? [16:11] well e.g. just the list of files which differ [16:12] piolo: diff does exactly that [16:12] piolo: ehm... that's what I get when I run that command.. are you getting weird output?

[16:15] stufkan, network manager should respect any entry there; dhcp may alter resolv.conf anyway [16:16] how do i kill dhcp then?

[16:18] javamexico5371: for what purpose? [16:18] piolo: The output I am seeing is "Only in /path1/dir1: filename" if you remove the path and dir there's no way to see what the diff is [16:18] find dir1 file1; find dir2 file2l diff file1 file2? [16:19] DarkKnight: lots of documentation available at the drupal web site... [16:19] javamexico5371: "export PATH=$PATH:/dir/to/bin" [16:19] piolo: how do you know what the "dir" bit is if diff doesn't list it? [16:19] mmmm ... i am developing in JavaFX and i found teh SDK for linux, but i have to modify this variable [16:19] ok thanks [16:19] javamexico5371: and/or edit your ~/.profile to modify PATH variable also for the next time you login [16:20] ardchoille, what do you mean?

Try it a bit, and see what happens. [16:24] stufkan, my line exactly: dns-nameserver 208.67.222.222 208.67.222.222 [16:24] thats instead of using resolvcong? [16:25] stufkan-> it confuses you, kindly man dhclient.conf [16:25] stufkan, no, he's talking about using dhcp rather than a static ip [16:25] ok thanks [16:25] piolo: of course you'll have to change the folders ./etc and /etc to something a bit more suitables.. [16:25] okay n8user, i want to disable dhcp [16:25] Damnit how can I enable something that doesnt pop in under hardware drivers ?

There has to be a way to set it in the program configs [16:37] I've installed the official linux drivers for my Creative X-Fi soundcard. But so far, only OSS works.

[16:38] i have dedined mail_transport=cyrus, but i havent read my email yet, could someone help me [16:38] DarkKnight -> in that case man chmod you'll learn about executable perms [16:39] Slart: do you change things in keyboard properties? what do you change [16:39] kizedek, I think you might be into deeper trouble if you can't see any drives in the bios [16:39] peterzal: there is a button to reset keymaps or something like that.. I just basically change something then change it back... [16:39] KenBW2: can I bring the GUI back? :O [16:40] Kai_Itaho: do you mean you don't see the login screen?

[16:41] kizedek, this is probably going to require removing the chip to have it re-written, I don't see how booting ubuntu over the network will help you there. [16:41] i believe it's hidden in the menus - it might be under Applications > Others [16:41] or n8user? [16:41] that was fun [16:41] arrrgh, my kid pressed the sleep button on a laptop, now i dont know how to awaken it... i dont use windows that much..

Anyone kown where I should submit this patch? [16:44] hi there, i'm kinoff new to ubuntu, but on startup from the lifecd i get a buffer error, anyone knows how to solve that?

[16:44] lieuwe -> reboot the livecd again, [16:44] kizedek, If you have tried to flash the bios, could have been a bad flash/bad chip, or it could be something as simple as a hardware failure. [16:44] and then? [16:44] _alpha: help with what? [16:45] does this look right n8user?prepend 208.67.222.222 208.67.2220.220 127.0.0.1; [16:45] !who [16:45] 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 :) [16:45] OK folks I figured out the problem in case anyone else is having a problem. To change the default mirror of the Google search site through the searchbar you need to edit the :/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/searchplugins/google.xml file. In here change the google.com to google.co.uk or google.ie restart Firefox and then when you search using the searchbar you will be redirected through google.co.uk or google.ie instead of google.com [16:45] _alpha: Fire away. Community will be glad to help ;) [16:45] haven't read the man , so just call me an idiot and i will do it [16:45] any suggestions for finding gimme? [16:45] n8user->rebooting doesn't help, i tried... [16:45] <_alpha> wich distribution? i don't understand differences [16:45] stufkan -> man dhclient.conf please [16:45] yea i will [16:46] what does !tab do? [16:46] mick02: be sure to write that down, for the next time you upgrade firefox ;-) [16:46] lieuwe -> you may have had a bad burn cdrom, verify it first if you get to choose from the menu [16:46] !tab [16:46] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [16:46] guys...does anyone know how to help? [16:46] _alpha: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution [16:46] sipior .... yeah I know, I bet I'll be rooting around looking for that hack again! [16:47] my fire fox in ubuntu 8.04 is not working right can I uninstall it and reinstall it or is it embeded into ubunto? [16:47] <_alpha> ardchoille: tanks! [16:47] get 8.10 [16:47] dom_: it's spelled gimmie, isn't it? perhaps you're simply looking under the wrong name? [16:47] _alpha, Distribution is: ubuntu / kubuntu / xubuntu / edubuntu ... [16:47] n8user->if i do that, i get the same eroor, it can't boot into ubunto, it gives the error right after loading... [16:47] try recovery mode thing [16:47] Lokiase, you may want to search in Synaptic for all of the dutch language files, and install [16:48] that didn't explain very much about the prepend option? [16:48] i have a SVN setup on remote host how do i sync it with ubuntu [16:48] can anyone tell me why an installed program isnt showing up where it should? [16:48] lieuwe -> perhaps you really do have a bad burn, during burning - isnt there like a md5sum check to see if the iso is okay? [16:48] dom_: You mean the menus? [16:49] dom_: where do you expect it to show up? === Mud|afk is now known as Mud|lunch [16:49] Nagar, "svn co " [16:49] n8user->i ordered a free cd from the site, i hope thos don't have errors in them [16:50] Nagar, In the folder where you want to check out [16:50] dom_: by the way, dpkg -L will show the full path of all installed files from the manifest. might be useful for you.

[16:50] !who | stufkan [16:50] anyway i can change this ? [16:50] stufkan: 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 :) [16:50] sipior: thx [16:50] im not sure how to do a whisper thing [16:50] !svn | Nagar [16:50] Nagar: svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [16:50] evan_ -> you have many? or just one? [16:50] yea ubottu i'm trying to remember it [16:51] evan_ route -n [16:51] n8tuser: just one [16:51] * OpaH going home - I'll try again from there [16:51] hi there channel :) [16:51] n8tuser, and what about the ip's? [16:51] could you please tell me how to install postgres server and client in ubuntu [16:51] how do i talk to someone individually? [16:51] stufkan -> try having multiple lines of those? [16:52] n8tuser: shutdownprob of yesterday is solved ;) [16:52] dom_: "/msg " [16:52] stufkan -> btw, if you carefully read the man pages , the sample is there, read them please [16:52] can I remove firefox and not harm ubuntu? [16:52] mohan1, I gues by typing "apt-get install postgresal" in the terminal [16:52] Im trying to #include into one of my projects. but unfortunently the mysql.h isnt found in the system. what do i install to make it? [16:52] Rocking-W, yes [16:52] Lokiase -> what was holding it from completion? [16:52] n8tuser: guide me then, i cant find it. Just give me a headline [16:53] thank you evowill [16:53] dom_: it's generally considered poor etiquette to send blind msgs in this channel though; bear that in mind. [16:53] I've got a *.vob file that I want to convert in .avi file... I've opened with Avidemux can it convert this file into .avi [16:53] n8tuser: the prepend option is described in 3 lines. Can't really use that. No examples [16:53] Rocking-W, you are welcome [16:53] stufkan -> i will help you help yourself, man dhclient.conf and look for the sample near the end [16:53] n8tuser: ahhh ok thanx im setting up a crossed connection but the other computer wont find it :( [16:53] n8tuser: acpi=force was the solution [16:54] dury, I like using handbrake, even has a very nice GUI on Linux now [16:54] Lokiase -> am sure it was a device hanging up, ie the driver for it not unloading, its just difficult to find out which device driver causes the issue [16:54] is there any way i can move the /boot to the / subdir [16:54] dury, They have a .deb file that you can install in Ubuntu, save it to your desktop, double click on it. http://handbrake.fr/?article=download [16:55] by mistake /boot is ont 34gb volume [16:55] evan_ -> cross connection? umm explain the network layout please [16:55] Hello, I have done a df and I see that my first hard disk is full. /dev/hda1 37152364 37145920 0 100% / . I am hoping someone can tell me how to establish what part is full so I can clean it up without manually checking each directory at the command line. [16:55] Im trying to #include into one of my projects. but unfortunently the mysql.h isnt found in the system. what do i install to make it? [16:55] n8tuser: now I have my last prob, my ubuntu is in 2 languages, dutch and englsch and it should be only in dutch [16:55] I'm thinking of getting an external harddrive with a firewire interface.. is firewire support on ubuntu ok? [16:55] evowill: all right [16:56] Hi I'm trying to use mocp as an init.d script to start playing music when my computer starts up. Normally when you launch mocp you can quit out of the GUI and it will run in the background, then start "mocp" to get the GUI back. When I try and run mocp to interact with the process launched by init.d, however it's launching a whole new process alltogether, even if I run it as root. How can i logon to my computer in such a way that I can interac [16:56] Lokiase -> i also have similar issue, my end user wants in espanyol :P including the bios [16:56] Hi ! I want to install ubuntu and are currently on the LiveCD... Im wondering 2 things mainly.. Firstly if its easy to do a manual selection over which hard drives will be doing what and secondly if Envy will work with 8.10 _ [16:56] hey evowill, for handbrake do i need to grab the files for CLI and the gtk gui? [16:57] nm [16:57] eltese: I know you can specify your disks in the partition editor but I don't know about envy [16:57] eltese doing what? install? yes you can select which partition to install, dont know about envy [16:57] eltese, Is it easy? Depends on your experience and on what you want to do [16:57] n8tuser: damn, i know ubuntu offered me the solution the first time it booted, but without network connection at that point it failed and now I dont find back [16:57] eltese, why would envy suddenly not work now [16:57] petllama, Just the one deb, for the GUI. [16:57] what is the mysql C++ development file called? [16:58] yea i got it, thnx tho [16:58] noticed the other was tgz [16:58] n8tuser: a wireless inet connection and a crossed utp cable between the wireless computer and another one [16:58] eltese, has worked fine for many.. a little more info would be handy [16:58] hi [16:58] evowill: I got HandBrake-0.9.3-Ubuntu_GUI_i386.deb package on desktop [16:58] n8tuser: does ubuntu find out that I use dhclient.conf instead of interfaces or what? [16:58] DVA5912: you've searched in synaptic? [16:58] mike [16:58] Lokiase -> not a total loss, if you had your /home in a separate partition maybe you can re-install? [16:58] n8tuser: why are there to different system doing the same thing? [16:58] hey can someone help me my computer wont work cause i updated it [16:58] Slart: yes and installed everything that looked relevent [16:58] dury, then you can double click on it, or open with the package installer. Click install [16:58] and some dk something wont work [16:58] n8tuser: I dont start with reinstallatin:p [16:59] stufkan -> not two different things, it depends on what is set in interfaces file [16:59] rc.ircworld.nl [16:59] !info libmysql++-dev [16:59] libmysql++-dev (source: mysql++): MySQL C++ library bindings (development). In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.0-1 (intrepid), package size 2208 kB, installed size 7596 kB [16:59] eltease: I was waiting for someone else to say that also, I do not know Envy, part2. Yes, the install is rather easy and allows selection of drives, partition and size. [16:59] evowill: right [16:59] Lokiase -> its not been that long since you installed it right? [16:59] Slart: i belive i installed that [16:59] 2 days [16:59] wow, lots of answers =) I dont know why Envy wouldnt work, maybe it hasnt upgraded ? Or maybe it doesnt hold the latest drivers.. And can I just grab the drivers from Nvidias homepage? Obviously Im pretty noobish at linux and I got 2 harddrives... one 160GB and one 320GB... I would like for the 160 GB to work as "OS disk" and the 320GB as indepedent storage disk :) [16:59] dury, when finished there is a menu option for handbrake under sound and video [17:00] n8tuser: currently my eth0 interface is defined in interfaces, but ubuntu doesn't seem to hear what interfaces says, so do I want to empty interfaces and then use dhclient.conf instead? [17:00] hey my computer keeps saying that an eror occured under in update [17:00] Has anyone used bacula in Ubuntu server across a LAN? [17:00] evan_ -> time to learn networking, use the route tools to insert the route [17:00] but it wont let me do anything [17:00] n8tuser: sorry if its a stupid question, I see it as two files doing the same thing [17:00] n8tuser: 2 days [17:00] !details | mike12 [17:00] mike12: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:01] stufkan -> post in pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file and your dhclient.conf file [17:01] Slart: yeah thats been installed [17:01] Is there a wayt to show directories over a certain size from the command line [17:01] Hey, does somebody know where I can find a good tutorial about openvpn on linux 8.04/8.10 [17:01] DVA5912: well.. that would be it, afaik [17:01] afaik? [17:01] mandani: take a look at "du" [17:01] Lokiase -> thats nothing, you may learn more by re-installing, little quirks, and perhaps meet your goal of all dutch locality [17:01] DVA5912: as far as I know [17:01] ok i have a problem with update when i try to fix it it shuts down. i think it staarted after i last updated 5 days ago [17:01] !openvpn | Draiden [17:01] Draiden: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! [17:01] n8tuser: if i understand i have to make the second computer a manual ip, the netmask the gateway and the same address of the gateway for the dns mask? [17:01] n8tuser: really, no install again :p [17:01] eltease: pop it on either disk, I would use a boot partition, you can select which OS at boot, you will be deleting one after a few weeks. [17:02] mandani: also "find" might be able to do it [17:02] evan_ -> okay yeah those are needed [17:02] ok i will try those out === lotia is now known as Guest37020 [17:02] Lokiase -> okay, then struggle a bit more to switch the locality..i dont know it offhand..takes a bit of tweaking [17:02] mick02: Thanks do you also know if things have to be configured specifically for that server? [17:02] hallo [17:03] n8tuser: does the manual need to have the same ip as the to the internet connected computer? [17:03] n8tuser: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m28206555 [17:03] ji [17:03] why dont volume keys give key codes in xev? [17:03] when connected via wireless, i can never scp anything, it always stalls. Happens on any network... [17:03] n8tuser: the alias section was also commented btw [17:04] evan_ -> nope, customize it to your needs, dont let the host get confused in which route to take [17:04] evowill: how do I launch it now [17:04] n8tuser: as you see its almost only commented [17:04] I'm trying to use mocp as an init.d script to start playing music when my computer starts up. Normally when you launch mocp you can quit out of the GUI and it will run in the background, then start "mocp" to get the GUI back. When I try and run mocp to interact with the process launched by init.d, however it's launching a whole new process alltogether, even if I run it as root. How can i logon to my computer in such a way that I can interact [17:04] evowill, thnx for mentioning handbrake, was about to start lookin for a decent mp4 converter for my ipod :) [17:04] dury, look up :-) [17:04] Draiden, Every Server will be different (IP address, nardware etc) so you will have to customise the server for your needs. You should also check out UnTangle, it's based on Ubuntu and installs the same [17:04] i have a problem with update it keeps shutting down after it says it doesnt meet dependencies. also i cant run add remove or synaptic package because of it [17:05] got it [17:05] petllama, np, I have been very happy with it, now that they have the GUI it is so much easier to use. [17:05] evowill, Thanks for your help, was afk [17:05] mikel2 have you added any new repositories? [17:05] how can I install a .inf file for an external monitor [17:05] kizedek, did it just die at random, or was it a bad flash? [17:05] yea, i tried avidemux and it didnt work as well as i hoped [17:05] yea i just updated two days ago [17:05] stufkan -> id change line 7 to dynamic, remove lines 8-10, then comment out lines 32 and insert correct nameserver ip [17:05] Kai_Itaho: install an .inf file? what operating system are you using? [17:06] 8.1 Ibex for ubuntu [17:06] its a driver file that I wanna instal [17:06] wait whats a repository [17:06] Kai_Itaho: a driver file for windows, afaik [17:06] evowill: doesn't launch it [17:06] n8tuser: firstly i need static ip [17:06] Kai_Itaho: I don't think ubuntu can use that [17:06] Opinions needed: GoogleEarth or WW2D, which is supported and which is preferred? [17:06] I've installed it before using a GUI, but in Ibex the GUI is gone :S [17:07] stufkan -> again for the nth time, please read man dhclient.conf there is a sample line there [17:07] What's the full error that you're receiving mikel2? [17:07] Hello :> I have a blackberry storm, is there any way that i can copy files like music, videos etc. onto it using Ubuntu? [17:07] anyone got an ideas as to why it keep stalling only when SCP'ing a file over wifi? [17:07] dury, then something is obviously wrong, try running it from the command line, and see if there are any errors [17:07] displayconfig-gtk is gone in Ibex, is there another path I can use? [17:07] Kai_Itaho: hmm.. what did that gui look like? do you rememeber what it was called? [17:07] I installed the mysql++-dev where is this stored? I need to know for code::blocks [17:07] hello [17:07] displayconfig-gtk [17:07] stufkan -> carefully looked for fixed address [17:07] why cant I get any sound on the livecd ? [17:07] Hi, I can't update packages on my Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) because Sofware Sources says "Could not download all repository indexes". Do I need to change the repository URL or something? [17:07] evowill: what should I type [17:08] evowill, it is a relative's PC. They brought it to me because it would not boot. It turned out the filesystem was messed up. I managed to recover it and install all the software along with bios upgrades. Everything works fine for about 3 weeks. Now all of a sudden this problem came up [17:08] eh [17:08] n8tuser: okay - why do you want to make the eth0 dynamic then? [17:08] vladc: probably because feisty is past its end of life date... [17:08] is there any reason to use png over svg for my icon set? [17:09] also, everytime I open a window it goes full screen [17:09] n8tuser: in the interfaces file [17:09] I have the Compiz manager, and I enabled 3d windows, how do I use it now? [17:09] n8tuser: that doesn't make any sense [17:09] stufkan -> in interfaces it says dynamic but in the dhclient.conf it will say fixed, get the flow? === eric is now known as Guest30636 [17:09] I have to press F11 twice to get it back between the task bars [17:09] What is the utility that the installer uses to resize a partition? I have just formatted my Vista partition and would like to add that size to my Ubuntu partition. [17:09] IndyGunFreak: So I'm out of luck if I want to install packages for it? [17:09] hey [17:09] vladc: i'd say its a good possibility... [17:09] kizedek, you might want to check with the mfg, or it might be cheaper from a company that specializes in that. [17:09] i cannot check my reiserfs partition [17:09] an error occured please run package manager from the right click menu or apt get in a terminal to see what is wrongthe error message was error brfoken count> 0 this ussually means the installed aplications have unmet dependencies [17:09] dury, ghb [17:09] Kai_Itaho: hmm.. not sure if this functionality has been moved somewhere else.. but displayconfig-gtk was last seen in .. 7.04 or something like that [17:09] I installed the mysql++-dev where is this stored? I need to know for code::blocks [17:09] !eol | vladc look here... [17:09] vladc look here...: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [17:10] fsck.reiserfs -fix--fixable /dev/sda1 doesnt work [17:10] Kai_Itaho -> yes I can confirm thats been removed, dont what the replacement is, you may have to manually configure xorg.conf [17:10] n8tuser: that's very contradicting to me [17:10] Slart: it was in 8.04 [17:10] vladc: but a lot of the repositories for those distros close also... in support of the newer ones [17:10] My sound fails on the LiveCD will it also do this once I install ? [17:10] eltese: doubtful [17:10] n8tuser: unfortunately, I have no idea what im doing when configuring xorg.conf [17:10] stufkan -> for you yes, if you understand the flow of things, then it is not [17:10] eltese: does it work, and then fail, or never work at all? [17:10] IndyGunFreak, ubottu: OK, thanks for your help! [17:11] n8tuser: I have to go afk now, i hope you want to help me afterwards [17:11] Kai_Itaho -> then may I suggest installing 8.04 and dish the 8.10 [17:11] DVA5912: lol, if it fails on the live cd, there's a very good chance it will fail on the install. === Mud|lunch is now known as Mud [17:11] stufkan -> if not I, someone else will [17:11] mikel2 it would make it easier for me to see when you post if you put my name at the start of your question. Open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install update [17:11] I just installed 8.1 too lazy to go back [17:11] D: [17:11] I have the Compiz manager, and I enabled 3d windows, how do I use it now? [17:11] IndyGunFreak: It doesnt work at all... I went in to System -> Preferences -> Sound and tried it there, nothing happened [17:11] evowill, yup I think thats what will happen [17:11] man these people are too lazy to work on the solutions...hehe [17:12] IndyGunFreak: thats what i said :D [17:12] mikel2 If that doesn't work type the following in the Terminal ... sudo apt-get install -f [17:12] eltese: open a terminal, and type "lspci" (lower case L) hit enter, and see how it identifies your sound device... [17:12] DVA5912: well it didn't come across that way..lol [17:12] n8tuser: That is what I had to do, 8,10 was goofy on this setup, so I reverted to 8.04,,works great [17:12] IndyGunFreak: Thanks but I got it to work now :P All I had to do was a minor change :) [17:12] deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse [17:12] deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse [17:13] kizedek, Also, if it was paid for with a credit card, you can check with them also, some have protection plans, etc [17:13] eltese: ok [17:13] vigo -> am glad it worked for you, way too many issues on the latest upgrade i noticed from sound to x to networking [17:13] kizedek, Best of luck [17:13] evowill, thanks again for your advice :) [17:13] all of a sudden, firefox opens in a weird way: it covers the whole screen and you can't see the title bar [17:14] Kai_Itaho: hit F11 [17:14] did I do something weird o.O? [17:14] its not that [17:14] its different from F11, I have to hit it twice to see the task bar [17:14] hi all, if i connect my amilo PII 1505 to my new screen with RGB/VGA i can't get any signal but the screen manager seems to detect the new screen... Any tips thx alot [17:14] Kai_Itaho that happened to me on my Netbook, when I hit F11 twice the taskbar appears again [17:14] imeant title bar [17:14] mick02: do you always have to hit f11? [17:15] Kai_Itaho, I've the same problem but haven't gotten around to fixing it yet [17:15] Someone who can help me with partitioning my hdd's? [17:15] eltese -> show some efforts of what you have done so far? [17:15] ok I just fixed it [17:15] Kai_Itaho, what version of Ubuntu are you running? [17:16] :D, its "minimize" is HUGE (larger that maximize) [17:16] Kai_Itaho, what did you do? [17:16] oops [17:16] imean [17:16] Kai_Itaho: here's some info about why it isn't available anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/displayconfig-gtk/+bug/282680 [17:16] kizedek, you are welcome [17:16] the unmaximize window is adjustable, it was just adjusted to bigger than the screen [17:16] after I define an alias I must restart the system?

I got 2 hdd's , 1 160gb , 1 320gb [17:17] ok never mind mick02, it didn't do anything [17:17] -.- [17:17] eltese -> cancel that and select manual instead of guided [17:17] Anyone know of a tool like wget that uses multiple connections? [17:17] petllama You may need to change the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to change the resolution, remember to back up first!

[17:18] Thanks guys [17:18] n8tuser: mk... have done that now.. But I dont recognize this :S Im not that good at partitioning [17:18] eltese -> btw, also tell us how did you boot? where is the iso? [17:18] Let's say I'm storing crypto keys in ~/.ssh/id_rsa. Would `dd if=/dev/urandom of=~/.ssh/id_rsa` actually overwrite the actual keys on the disk or would they still be retrievable through simple disc analysis? [17:19] mikel2 it should be the password that you use to log on to your laptop or if you log in automatically then it's the password that you put in when you set up the PC [17:19] ok thanks [17:19] hello [17:19] n8tuser: I burned the iso on cd === denstark_ is now known as Denstark [17:19] eltese -> and what did you do next?

[17:21] mcko2 thanks [17:21] mikel2 then run sudo dpkg --configure -a in the terminal to fix it! [17:22] eltese -> then maybe it is incompatible with your system, try the older 8.04 livecd [17:22] mikel2, no worries. I'm out. Best of luck with that [17:22] Laughing Out Loud [17:22] eltese -> btw, your bios do detect all your hdd right? [17:22] Be Right Back [17:22] n8tuser: yes it does, and ubuntu can see it 2. [17:22] hu [17:22] n8tuser: only not in the installing software [17:23] Hey there. After an update I am no longer getting any sound with Alsa or OSS. Pulseaudio is working fine though. This means I get no sound when running some games through Wine. Any pointers or ideas as to what is causing this or how it is fixed? [17:23] eltese -> without clicking on the install and opening up the terminal, you see all your hdd partitions when you do sudo fdisk -l [17:23] Ok [17:23] hi [17:23] n8tuser: yes [17:24] anybody know why my Ubuntu is sucking 10% -> 15% CPU usage?

[17:28] anyone have an idea of what size Ubuntu's (latest) size is, after a fresh install + update? [17:28] I am using wpa for encryption and that may be the cause of the ailments as wpa-supplicant might be confused, but I'm not sure that this is the cause of the problem. Has anyone found a way to do this? Do I need to bridge these nics and create a simple round-robin algorithm for it? [17:28] i have an amilo PI 1505 anyone can help me with dual screening with it? Thx alot! (also connect to ext screen is good for me ) [17:28] is there anyway i can play a different region dvd without having to change the drive setting?

[17:29] tr3nd: you're accessing the X server now, aren't you? [17:29] n8tuser: So I would use either. Most likely I need a virtual interface on top of the two nicks.

This has only been happening recently, and the problem is that no CD or DVD is ever detected as being inserted, even though the CD drive sounds like it's making several attempts to detect. related (or maybe not) is that USB storage drives only sometimes work, and my webcam only works for about 15 minutes after a fresh boot. any ideas about what's going on here? [18:54] maxxist: analog [18:55] That what happned to me also!

And then "/etc/init.d/mysqld start" outputs the same errors as before...? [18:58] it seems that happened after some update to the system. [18:58] khelll: yeah, that's what i'm thinking too. however, the webcam wouldnt work at all until an update to the linux-image and linux-modules a week or so ago [18:58] ormecuro so there is multiple outputs on your sound card for rear speakers and LFE and such? and they are analog? what kind of source are you using, DVD?

Since I upgraded my home computer to Intrepid Ibex, my mother says she can no longer Shut Down or Restart through the applet at the top-right corner in the panel. Does anyone know a reason for this? [19:04] Picassotamus: i don't know exactly what i am using [19:05] someone knows about linux dist for flash memory that haave built int compiz ? [19:05] svat: Well, what happens if you try? [19:05] Baughn: the Shut Down and Restart options don't exist in the (user-switcher?) menu, only Log Out does [19:05] al-_-Gir: Compiz is just a window manager. It doesn't need to be built-in; you can install it anywhere. [19:05] maxxist: i did it,but there is no option about multichannle settings in alsamixer [19:05] Baughn: could this be because it's not an "administrator" account? [19:05] Svat, what happens when you click it? [19:05] Baughn: well, that kernel is in jaunty. I don't think I can help beyond telling you that. Sorry. Its kinda the curse of Linux: that very new hardware isn't supported right away. [19:06] Hey all.

One more thing: try "/bin/nc localhost 3306" [19:06] Any suggestions on what music app to use? I'm a former Winamp user, thanks [19:06] lasivian: amarok [19:06] svat: Oh, very possible. THough I'm not actually on ubuntu at the moment, shutting down the computer isn't something that arbitrary users should be able to do. [19:06] svat, you should go to system > administration > login window [19:06] lasivian: amarok [19:06] Also, how to program windows-key opens primary menu in panel? [19:06] thanks [19:06] ormecuro: pulseaudio is used by default, so unless you changed something you are [19:07] al-_-Gir: You can make it the default by editing .xsession appropriately [19:07] al-_-Gir: Or a variety of other ways, but I'm a bit old-fashioned.. if you start compiz before running gnome-session, it'll override whatever gnome is set up with. [19:07] can I have Gnome, can I install XFCE via Synaptic without worrying about messing up my system? [19:07] functionofxy: btw, there isn't any firewall started, that might be blocking 3306? [19:07] andresmh: No problem. Install as many WMs/DEs as you like. :P [19:07] I want to install an something but apt-get want to remove stuff because it no longer required and I dont want it to remove that stuff [19:07] svat, under the tab actions menu, the "show actions menu" checkbox MUST be checked [19:08] evilx: Why not?

Can someone recommend to me a tutorial, howto, or just explain briefly how to program the windows key functionality in ubuntu >> gnome to open primary menu in panel, and windows key+E for opening explorer window, etc? [19:08] thanks Baughn [19:08] Baughn maybe there is a linux dist that have compiz as default ? [19:08] svat, sorry I meant the tab local [19:08] al-_-Gir: Maybe, but picking one would be a bit like scrapping your car because you don't like the radio channel. [19:08] Anyone know if theres anything like http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html For Linux? [19:08] anyone familiar with dvdrip? [19:08] al-_-Gir: It's really trivial to switch.

[19:09] I'm OK PUNISHER how about you :P [19:09] Baughn, I'll look, thanks. [19:09] Formode: Perhaps using LyX as a frontend if you're infected with GUIitis [19:10] functionofxy: something *is* either running or blocking 3306 [19:10] oCean_, I agree. Is there some way I can reset my entire networking routine? [19:10] KingWilliam: I'm fine, thanks! =) [19:10] Formode: Oh, wait, I misunderstood how it works. Hmm. No, nothing I know of. [19:11] KingWilliam: how long do you using Ubuntu?

[19:12] how do you install the compiz fuzion manager === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away [19:13] functionofxy: yes, that would do the trick, however if something is blocking 3306 (firewall) than that probably won't work. However, it's worth a shot [19:13] oCean_, if grep for ifw, iptables come up with nothing, any other firewalls I can check for? [19:13] hi, was wondering if there's any setting to modify the sensitivity on how much space is given to resizing a window. for example when i try and click on the side of a window to resize it, the window of "grab" room is very very small. any way to increase that? === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [19:14] oCean_, restarting net. brb [19:14] I'm trying to configure a link for use with mpd.

[20:06] just trying to figure out how i suddenly lost direct rendering [20:06] wolter: ahh, so it's asking you for the password when you connect to your wifi?

[20:51] IRC Hispano [20:51] Hi. My laptopt doesn't start (I get a black screen when the X schould appear) if the power adaptor is not plugged in. Any idea how to fix this? (The battery is OK) [20:51] is the server name [20:51] !es [20:51] 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. [20:51] you need the actually address. [20:51] *actually [20:51] *actual [20:51] FeiRuoWa: Can you boot to any disks at all with that drive? It might be a matter of finding another way to install the operating system. UNetBootIN, for example, will allow you to create a USB boot disk for any distribution of Linux out there. [20:51] jack_sparrow, yeah and thats fine, 30 gigs of it stuff I dont really need [20:51] try irc.hispano.net [20:51] and ill remove it later [20:51] do you know where to get it? [20:51] 0k [20:52] i don't know, kymaera. i've only tried ubuntu [20:52] anyone else that contributes to Ubuntu willing to give me sometime? need to ask a few detailed questions. [20:52] to get to that address use /server -m irc.hispano.net [20:52] if that's right, it should put you through. [20:52] bigfamine, by my calcs you are leaving ony 5 gig free on the ubuntu partition.. and that is not a good thing.. Please dont get impatient and try to stop it/ [20:52] hi [20:52] why is there like 50 console-kit daemons running? [20:53] i have a problem with changing desktopbackground, it freez [20:53] i installed ubuntu two days ago === kaii_ is now known as kaii [20:53] The_Rebel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/148454 [20:53] i have zero access to sound [20:53] my drivers seem to be loaded properly, nothing is muted [20:53] FeiRuoWa: If you have another operating system disk, you might try that and see if it detects anything. If you're able to get your computer to boot from a USB stick, and if you have one about a gig or two in size, (I think the Ubuntu live CD fits on 1GB) UNetBootIn is free to download. [20:53] very frustrating [20:54] ConstantineXVI, screen resolution only seems to config primary screen resolution... do you know if I can start utility with " DISPLAY=":0.1" /usr/bin/command"? [20:55] has anybody had trouble with audio cd's being recognized in 8.10? i want to rip some CDs, but i am getting buffer i/o errors. i have vista on the same machine, and it works fine there, so i do not think it is the hardware [20:55] buffer i/o errors in dmesg [20:55] where is the trash located? [20:55] I see no ~/.trash or anything [20:55] thanks for the link rww [20:55] !trash [20:55] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [20:55] reading it now [20:56] that is really confusing [20:56] why w/ the change? [20:56] hi, i cant change my visual effects to normal, it freeze when unpacking, does anyone have had this problem before?

It will stay there until you press any random buttons, like "a b ba abba bababab ababab abababa" or anything!! the power button will even make the progress bar start moving. If you do it enough times, it will eventually make it to the install dialogue. the next problem occurs during the actu [21:59] al install process, it hangs, just like before, until you hit some buttons again. If you hit buttons every time it hangs it will install successfully. After the install, everything looks good. then you reboot and guess what, to boot to the desktop you have to hit more buttons. everything works, wireless, video, etc..

[22:25] !ubuntu-fr | shyboy [22:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-fr [22:26] how can I list files inside a package? ie.. i installed a package via apt-get .. no idea what files it installed [22:26] !ubuntu_fr | shyboy [22:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu_fr [22:26] !fr [22:26] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [22:26] thanks bazhang [22:26] !playonlinux [22:26] Jimmey: I wonder if you could simply use DD to copy current partition to another. Would have to edit grub's config, as well as fstab, maybe many others. [22:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about playonlinux [22:26] Pmsl [22:26] hi, how can I check what /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 or another is my bluetooth? [22:26] FLUXBOX! [22:26] bazhang: I went brain dead for a sec on how to do that. [22:26] Now i remember :) [22:26] ubuttu: what about a real ubuntu-jamaica channel?? [22:27] Jimmey: I have seen a howto on changing the current OS from one linux distro to another, when all you have is SSH access to the machine. It was kinda scary looking. [22:27] how can i test the frame rate? [22:27] cih997: check the man page for sdptool [22:27] Jimmey: so I'm sure it can be done. [22:27] hello i configured my network with dnsmasq but i can only ping ip's not urls , does anyone know the problem? [22:27] darksmurf, Yeah, I tried something with tar a while ago that did exactly that, maintaining permissions and everything - But it's a completely new install I want. I have tried copying the contents of an installation disk to the HDD and booted that, but the partitioner on the installer didn't work. [22:27] dreamy: run glxgears in a terminal.. won't be accurate at all though.. [22:27] I need some with my VMware [22:27] what [22:27] I have changed an ubuntu into a fedora, with only one reboot for the new kernel [22:27] k [22:27] I need some help with my VMware [22:27] evan_: did you set your DNS servers? [22:27] !ask | drzin [22:27] drzin: 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. :-) [22:28] what's the state of screensaver stuff at the moment? why are we using gnome-screensaver not something fully featured? [22:28] Rudd-O: ok thx [22:28] drzin: what's the problem? can't help if we don't know what the problem is. [22:28] rww: yes i set them, i can ping them and i see them in network info, i can even ping googles ip [22:28] ok [22:28] rww, but when pinnging google url it fails [22:28] Jimmey: Maybe install a VM, install to that, then extract the new install from the VM's virtual HD? [22:28] 3099 frames in 5.0 seconds = 615.541 FPS [22:28] I am following the walk through [22:28] whats the command that shows you the most recent kernel logs? [22:28] darksmurf, it seems possible using this guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux but not for the same disk [22:28] ctlabs: gtkpod worked perfect. I am listening to the music now :) Thanks! [22:29] how do I find out if apache is still running using ps ? [22:29] Hello everyone, for music I use amarok with alsa output. I have two X displays set up (:0.0 & :1.0) the second for progs that don't play nice with compiz; I was wondering if it is possible to keep audio playing when I switch screens? [22:29] rohil: cool! glad to hear it [22:29] and drzin@:~$ gksudo bash ./home/drzin/Downloads/VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.x86_64.bundle [22:29] bash: ./home/drzin/Downloads/VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.x86_64.bundle: No such file or directorydrzin@:~$ === dj801 is now known as Emo === Emo is now known as Em0 [22:29] is there any common way of changing a SPDIF output? i'm just wondering if i need to change a simple setting to fully enable passthru [22:30] is there an easy way to set up hotkeys? loading up gconf-editor and playing with metacity isn't exactly user friendly. [22:30] drzin: what walkthrough? Are you installing, or are you trying to do something else? === Em0 is now known as Emoo === Emoo is now known as Emooo [22:30] please check out this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6580951#post6580951 [22:30] Rudd-O Is it ok for me to put Listen at the bottom of apache.conf? === Emooo is now known as HOWTHEFUCKWASTHA [22:30] hi [22:30] Rudd-O, I can burn a cd. What I would like to avoid is not being able to use an internet browser at the same time, because I have many things to check online. I was just wondering if it is possible to install ubuntu from a mounted iso image, and only reboot to boot in the newly installed os, kind of like what you can do from the livecd [22:30] HOWTHEFUCKWASTHA: inappropriate [22:30] how do I set up a git server in ubuntu? [22:31] so that there is a web interface and such [22:31] Pedrolito, something like this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [22:31] Jimmey: That looks very good. why don't you think it'll work? It looks like you are limited to having a 700mb partition that can't be part of the new system, but you could use it as swap. [22:31] this walk through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation [22:31] Pedrolito: if you have a USB stick you can run a LiveCD from it using unetbootin === burkmat is now known as burkafk [22:32] Pedrolito: don't use unetbootin, use Portable Linux [22:32] what is the difference? [22:32] darksmurf, when I boot the installer that's on the 700mb+ partition, the partitioner in the installer doesn't work :'-( [22:32] anyone? [22:32] help when i ping googles ip i get reactions but when pinnging google url it fails, is anyone fammiliar whith this? [22:32] pedrolito: you can browse the web using the live cd's included browser, while it installs [22:32] Where is the ubuntu discussion channel? Like ubuntu in general discussion? [22:32] Rudd-O: i get Error opening "/dev/ttyS0" tcgetattr(): Input/output error in jm2pc java software on ubuntu 8.04. Bluetooth works fine, how can i open ttyS0 or do something that will make connection jm2pc with my bluetooth? [22:32] evan_: you cannot ping an URL [22:32] When I install the linux-source package, does that include the same .config file that is used to compile the kernel images in the default kernel packages? [22:33] cih997: Uh, no idea man :-( [22:33] Lymies: that is in /boot [22:33] Jimmey: the guide says to run gparted from the host OS, not the installer. "If your new ubuntu install is going to coexist with your old system, you might find it convenient to create space for your new system as well at this point using gparted." [22:33] Gobby, #ubuntu-offtopic [22:33] Tyvm! [22:33] Rudd-O, that's right, good idea, I'm going to try that [22:33] I was trying to change the mount point of a usb drive, and I altered properties>Drive>Settings to do so (rather then editing fstab) However now I get an error when I try to mount it, and I'm not sure how to get rid of the setting sI changed. [22:33] Rudd-O: well i can on this pc i must be a genious! [22:33] GENIOUS [22:34] evan_: sounds like a DNS error (are you 'ping google.com' or 'ping http://www.google.com'?) [22:34] darksmurf, yeah, I copy the live CD to the 750MB partition leaving a blank space ready for me to install it to, but when I run the installer from that partition, the partitioner that I would normally use to format that empty space doesn't see the drive at all - I assume that's because the drive is already in use [22:34] defrex: you can eliminate the line in /etc/fstab that mentions your drive. in general, removable drives are not registered in the fstab. [22:34] Rudd-0, a line didn't get entered into fstab [22:34] cih997: try ttyS1 ? [22:35] Jimmey: you cannot, I repeat, CANNOT repartition a disk and expect it to work if a partition is mounted or used as swap on the disk simultaneously [22:35] defrex: sudo umount /mount/point, then disconnect/reconnect the drive [22:35] darksmurf: ping google.com [22:35] Rudd-O, not looking to re-partition, just install into an empty partition [22:35] ah ok but 700 MB is simply too little [22:35] hi guys, this is kind of strange, my sound was working fine on my GNOME but now I installed KDE and I don't have sound...any ideas on what I can check? In the sound mixer everything is unmuted [22:36] evan_: then it sounds like a DNS problem. are you able to ping any other hostnames? (yahoo, ubuntu, etc). Are you connecting to IRC from the same machine? [22:36] Jimmey: you need way more for a clean installation [22:36] Rudd-O, I have plenty of space, just don't know how to install to it without a CD, USB drive or internet cable [22:36] lokieee: does the sound come back when you run gnome again? [22:36] Rudd, good question i'll try [22:36] Rudd-0, the drive isn't mounted. If I try to mount it I get "mount_point cannor contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPERATOR (usually /) [22:36] darksmurf: no, i think i have put something wrong in dnsmasq [22:37] Jimmey: I get your point now. read my howto linked in the portable linux page that might help shed some light [22:37] Rudd-O, portable Linux page? [22:37] defrex: oh, that is weird, very weird, for some reason the mount point has gotten stored in your GNOME configuration apparently. [22:37] Jimmey, nice link, but I have no primary partitions slots left, so I will go for the usb method [22:37] Pedrolito, cool [22:37] <__MAV> Hello everybody ! [22:37] Jimmey: correct, here is the link: http://rudd-o.com/en/linux-and-free-software/a-better-way-to-create-a-customized-ubuntu-live-usb-drive/ [22:38] Pedrolito, why not logicals on an extended partition [22:38] Rudd-0, well, I tried to use the gui to set the mount poitn rather then then editing fstab (which I have done, I just thought this would be easier) [22:38] Rudd-O, does that mean if I have a big enough MicroSD card in my phone I can run Ubuntu off it? [22:38] defrex: I wish I could help you more but unfortunately i do not have that property sheet because I use KDE [22:38] Rudd-O okay so it seems, my log on and log off sound works fine..i just heard it when I went to log out...but like if i want to say play music via the internet with say www.pandora.com which uses adobe flash I don't hear any sound. [22:39] Jimmey: yes, about 2G and it should run AWESOME. Just put your phone in drive mode and boot from it. [22:39] even 1 G should run [22:39] Rudd-o well, thnks for the help. I'll keep looking and see fi I can figure somethign out... [22:39] but of course NOT on the phone, the phone would be an "usb thumb drive" [22:39] defrex: no problem [22:39] Rudd-O, that's just ridiculously cool. [22:39] hello, does webmin works on in ubuntu? [22:39] !webmin [22:39] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [22:39] !uninstall [22:39] To learn how to uninstall applications in Ubuntu - please visit http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-delete-remove-software-using-apt-get-command/ [22:39] lokieee: are you using pulseaudio? IIRC there was a library libflashsupport that you needed to install if you use pulseaudio [22:40] Jack_Sparrow, yes but the webmin site says it's supported [22:40] <__MAV> Ih my Ubuntu linux I cannot see man pages for send recv, errno C routines. Is there any way I could install them ? [22:40] Jack_Sparrow, because the guide says one needs to use a primary partition [22:40] Jimmey: correct, being able to boot linux from your mobile phone AND ALSO store files on the Windows segment of your SD card is just PRICELESS [22:40] Ruddo-O pulseaudio, do you mean a sound card is named that? I have a sound blaster audigy 2 [22:40] Pedrolito, what are you trying to install [22:41] Jack_Sparrow, jaunty from within ibex [22:41] Pedrolito, +1 may be able to help, but it should still work on logical inside extended [22:42] how i can uninstall skype?? using ubuntu gnome 8.10.. dunno how..

[22:42] Has anyone noticed on firefox, like scrolling through webpages is really slow? [22:42] lokieee: no [22:42] Jack_Sparrow, well, I'm not going to take risks. Plus, a bootable ubuntu usb stick could be useful [22:42] on GNOME it was fine, but KDE's firefox is like lagging [22:42] Rudd-o, fyi, what you said made me thing to try looking in gconf. I found the settings in there and deleted them. Everything work fine now. :) [22:42] lokieee: no [22:43] <__MAV> In my Ubuntu Linux I cannot see man pages for send, recv, errno and other C routines. Is there any way I could install them ? [22:43] DIFH-iceroot: Thanks.

[22:47] lokieee: you should look into tasksel like sudo tasksel install lamp [22:47] <__MAV> lokieee: "sudo apt-get install manpages-dev" solved my issue [22:47] Ciao a tutti!!! [22:47] P4C0: sudo apt-get install apache mysql-server php5 [22:47] P4C0, They may have re-written it to work, but the last testing we did.. It didnt [22:47] P4C0: webmin is not supported in ubuntu [22:47] Jack_Sparrow, I meant installing a ubuntu live cd on the stick. I guess there would not be writes when using a live cd. Would there?

I need to also search word, pdf, excel, etc. [22:51] Jack_Sparrow, really? As the live cd is supposed to run out a non writable cd, why would it write temp files to the media it's installed on?

I just use it sparringly.. I am not sure I would trust it enough to put on alpha jaunty [22:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about addon [22:57] Jack_Sparrow: use portable linux, portable linux will verify that the USB drive is *OK* before installing anything to it [22:57] Hello evryone: i have a dual system boot, Win and Ubuntu, i have 50Gb in my Win and 200G???b 4 Ubuntu. How can i give Win mre space [22:57] (but technically it will repartition the drive first) [22:57] !gparted | lyricaldogg [22:58] lyricaldogg: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[22:59] lifenove: that worked, thanks. [22:59] ghone: No problem :) [23:00] aaronorosen: Are you using the ubuntu installer to resize, or gparted? [23:00] Rudd-O, Package it up into a deb and you might have something [23:00] anyone installed and could connect with jm2pc via bluetooth with ubuntu? [23:00] Jack_Sparrow: I cannot. I don't run ubuntu myself [23:00] lifenova: ubuntu installer. [23:00] Jack_Sparrow: I am actually LOOKING for someone who would do that for me [23:00] and the minute someone does, I will put it up my site [23:00] Rudd-O, Evil evil... :) [23:00] lifenova: the option to resize is not coming up. [23:00] !packaging [23:00] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [23:00] (sorry, hardcore fedoraer here) [23:01] Rudd-O, no problem [23:01] bbl [23:01] thanks for the tip, but it's not like I don't want to package it, I WANT to package it, but I simply don't have the hardware or the time to invest in producing uptodate packages [23:01] aaronorosen: can you provide a screeenshot of what you're seeing? [23:02] lifenova: got it, opened but still trying to find out how it works, any quick fix? === RainCT_ is now known as RainCT [23:03] lifenova: on the installer it only gives me the options to do: guided use hole partition or manually do it. I was able to resize the partition just fine on my laptop but its now giving me the option on my desktop. [23:03] How do i properly uninstall a program that i did not get from the repositories? [23:03] Gobby: How did you install it? [23:03] lyricaldogg: I assume you don't have any unallocated space, meaning that you'll need to be on a liveCD to resize (because you can't shrink the ubuntu partition while you're using it). So go ahead and boot the liveCD if you have one. [23:03] is 1min and 29 seconds good boot time for ubuntu [23:03] Through the setup, it was for the trial of photoshop [23:03] and its not working well with wine. [23:04] Gobby: "through the setup"? Oh, wine? Do you have anything else installed in wine? [23:04] aaronorosen: In my experience, it's easier to partition using gparted System -> Administration -> Partition Editor [23:04] Yes, i have a game. [23:04] lifenova: cool [23:04] Gobby: Alright, the 'proper' way would be to run the uninstaller, in wine. But since you likely don't care about all the registry stuff, you can just navigate to where its installed and delete it [23:04] I got the trial from adobe site, installed it through wine, hopeing everything would be fine, but its acting very strange [23:05] Gobby: `~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files` or whatever === GodFather_ is now known as GodFather [23:05] I very much care about the registry.. [23:05] Is it possible to have a website startup on booting into ubuntu [23:05] !session | SamIam2 [23:05] SamIam2: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [23:05] Is there a way to make ubuntu work with two spelling dictionaries at the same time? [23:06] Thanks! [23:06] ola [23:06] I do not see a uninstaller for the program, Mr. Flannel [23:06] Gobby: There's no uninstaller in the program folder? [23:07] I am very new to Ubuntu linux, and not that i can see, let met check again [23:07] SamIam2: System -> Prefs -> Session. From there, click add. You can give it a name to help you distinguish what it is if you ever want to remove it later.

[23:25] sekyourbox: no, 8.10 is the latest stable release [23:25] sekyourbox: the last development release is 9.04 alpha 3 I believe [23:25] linuxman410: Compared to WinXP, it might be around the same. [23:26] linuxman410: I'm just curious, do you see a splash screen when you boot? (the ubuntu logo + progress bar) [23:26] linuxman410: My netbook uses ubuntu on a wubi partition, and it gets in at around 2 minutes or so. [23:26] yes i see splash screen when i boot [23:26] sekyourbox: and last LTR is 8.04 [23:26] linuxman410: ok, because my splash screen was broken and when I removed it, my boot time went way down [23:27] ctlabs, what is LTR [23:27] sekyourbox: LTS. Long Term Support. [23:27] !lts | sekyourbox [23:27] sekyourbox: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

[23:29] Anonymous, There is no such thing as a Wubi partition. Please read the faq and understand what it is and how it differs from a regular partition install [23:29] Jack_Sparrow: All I understand is that it uses disk space from within a Windows partition, and boots off of that.

[23:31] Jack_Sparrow: Still a partition, in a sense. The only difference is that you can remove it from windows like a program. And its slower, I believe. [23:31] teabag: boot from CD, and select check CD for defects [23:31] be back in min going to reboot [23:31] linuxman410: or better, edit /boot/grub/menu.list and remove the "splash" kernel option. Doesn't require removing usplash.

[23:37] jedi06, i took out the ram that was in it.. and put it on a scanner.. and took the copy to the store.. :) [23:37] do they have to be from the same manufacturer [23:37] jedi06: Sometimes. [23:37] Can I ask how good Ubuntu is with BT Broadband wireless? [23:37] rww, Agreed, but I would think that since we are half way through or release cycle they would have tested it. [23:37] bandyo i have not seen anything nice yet [23:37] jedi06: Laptop manufacturers don't make RAM. [23:37] jedi06, also max ram the thing can use..

[23:37] picassa may be? [23:38] jedi06: Usually not an issue. DDR2-800 (if you use DDR2) would downscale to whatever speed you need. [23:38] ban [23:38] i tired what you said earlier but got stuck [23:38] *tried [23:38] ubuntu does not support ddr2-800? [23:38] jedi06: Not OS Specific. [23:38] f-spot dumps my videos with the photos in the same folders, but does not display them. :( [23:39] that is what dell says it doesn't sell faster ram becuase ubuntu doesn't support it [23:39] bandyo picasa not good for video [23:39] jedi06: Corsair, Kingston, and Crucial all make SODIMMs [23:39] jedi06, hardware supports the ram.. the OS dosent.. [23:39] thanks hatool2. I won't bother with it then. [23:39] jedi06, i find their statement har4d to belive. [23:39] bandyo, one of my daughters uses picasa and she likes it [23:39] Excuse me, but I can't locate the external HD I just plugged in. [23:40] bandyo picasa rocks for photos [23:40] jedi06: if you haven't changed your memory, then the laptop manufacturer should be able to tell you how your memory is configured and what kind it is -- [23:40] i bought a dell studio 15n with ubuntu 8.04 and i paid 100 to upgrade to 4gb from 2gb ram. I think i should of bought and installed the ram for cheaper [23:40] 100 for an extra 2gb is a rip off [23:40] join ##religion [23:40] people [23:40] Nevermind my question :) === maxbaldw1n is now known as maxbaldwin [23:40] habtool2 will Picassa reorganize my photos organized already by f-spot? [23:41] jedi06: It'll always be cheaper to do upgrades yourself, if you don't manage to kill something. [23:41] jedi06, yes.. the hardware makers tend to rip you off on 'upgrades' at times.. [23:41] The light on the external HD is on, but Ubuntu won't recognize it. [23:41] no ones heard of my question? [23:41] so that was a bad deal i found 2gb sticks 667mhz for 25 [23:41] bandyo picasa will start from scratch [23:41] jedi06: Probably. d [23:41] but i was worried about compatibility [23:42] join ##religion [23:42] people [23:42] slew, possibially no one knew the answer.. ask again in a few min. [23:42] jseamus, err.. No. [23:42] it is the place for haters and lovers!!! [23:42] Dr_willis, thanks. [23:42] bandyo, it organizes according to how you have them organized in folders. [23:42] habtool2: I will lose my f-spot tags if I move to picassa, I guess. [23:42] jseamus, stop [23:42] jedi06: Compatibility is rarely an issue. Sometimes though. [23:42] ...wrong channel, Jseamus. [23:42] Hello all. I'm installing ubuntu-lite, and am trying to install some sort of gui. I've apt-getted xorg/kde, and it asks for display settings of which I don't know where or what to change to. I've tried going through the man pages for xorg and couldn't get much other than a configuration file that I've found but don't know what to change or what to change it too. Any links/help? [23:42] bandyo, i tend to keep mine organized by folder, it will make folders that mirror what you have. [23:42] does the ubuntu support 1066 mhz fsb? [23:43] jedi06: Doesn't matter. [23:43] dell said they didn't [23:43] Fephisto, what is ubuntu-lite [23:43] hi everyone [23:43] jedi06, the OS dosent matter - it just uses the OS.. Dell is WRONG. [23:43] jedi06: Find real techsupport. [23:43] Fephisto, What is ubuntu lite? [23:43] Hikeractive, thanks. I now use f-spot which puts them in year/month/date folders. [23:43] its the matter of the Motheboard supporting the ram [23:43] Fephisto, is that ubuntu-based? [23:44] Fephisto, or is it downloaded from www.ubuntu.com [23:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingUbuntuLite [23:44] Anyone know how to tell what exactly is slowing down a boot (and ideally, how to fix it) via bootchart? [23:44] bandyo probably, long time since i tested fspot digikam and picasa for tag compatibilty, very frustrating doing tags [23:44] is a system with athlonx2 and 4GB ram be good enough for software development (with postgresql,mysql,apache php and ruby) and alos virtualise windows 2003 to run visual studio ? [23:44] I'm talking about the processor [23:44] Or, the iso I got it from is here: http://u-lite.org/ [23:44] slew, the link (stmatthewstoledo.org) is dead in firefox [23:44] It's ubuntu-based. [23:44] bandyo, picasa will attempt to scan your home directory at start. it will import everything. you can change settings to disable unwanted folders. so if you have as folder with subfolders consisting of year, month, day, etc., it will be the same. [23:44] Fephisto, We dont provide support for ubuntu based releases... [23:44] ubuntu must be able to use the hardware with the correct drivers right [23:45] !mint [23:45] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [23:45] habtool2 thanks. [23:45] Hikeractive thanks [23:45] bandyo, np [23:45] And #debian told me to go here :-/. [23:45] bandyo np [23:45] hey how do I make it such that when a visitor visits my directory they will be directed to index.php immediately? [23:45] also didn't allow graphics card upgrades becuase ubuntu didn't support their ati card they had [23:45] Fephisto, why not just do the minimal and add to that [23:46] Fephisto: why not just install Xubuntu if you want something "lite"? [23:46] !minimal | Fephisto [23:46] Fephisto: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:46] Is picassa in the standard repositories or should I look for it in google.com? [23:46] are you supposed to try to match your fsb speed with your ram speed? [23:46] Fephisto, Minimal would be a much better option [23:46] !info picassa [23:46] Package picassa does not exist in intrepid [23:46] It has gui? [23:46] bandyo google repos [23:46] Picassa is on the medibuntu repositories [23:46] bandyo, google [23:46] so would you see any benefit from have faster ram on a slower fsb? [23:46] Fephisto, Sorry, didnt see Bazalready said that [23:47] err sorry bandyo medibuntu [23:47] jedi06, no [23:47] jedi06, in theory the ram should slow down. - and later ya could always use it in newer systems.. but no beinfit. [23:47] bandyo, http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html#picasa30 [23:47] ok so you can't go faster than your processer fsb [23:47] thanks everyone. I will give picassa a shot. [23:47] Ummm lts or lastest ver/? [23:48] Dr_willis, I used to think I would use the old ram on a nwer box but by the time I actually upgrade it wont work on the new hardware [23:48] Yeah, this is what I want, thanks. [23:48] Fephisto, crunchbang is a great openbox based distro that is a variant of 8.10. [23:48] Which one should i get lts or lastest ver/??? [23:48] Jack_Sparrow, yep. :) but its always handy to have spare ram. I got a box of the old old old ram ive collected over the years. [23:48] Dr_willis, Me too [23:48] Could someone please help me get my Remote Control working for my Sound Blaster Audigy with the Breakout box? I have installed lirc and have used gnome-lirc-properties to set the remote to Creative Breakout Box, but I don't know how/what to set the receiver too or anything else. [23:48] Jack_Sparrow, they make great keychains. :P [23:48] teabag: how often do you want to upgrade, every year or every three years? [23:49] rww every time if there's a update [23:49] in ubnut [23:49] well my processor is 667 so i can't upgrade to 800 anyway [23:49] teabag: then get the latest version [23:49] teabag, try the live cd's of both and decide for yourself [23:49] every year? you mean every 6 months [23:49] so who would have a chance and time to help me with grub?

I dont want a Drawer because its just icons. I have to Add onto Applications | Places | System [23:50] eseven73: non-LTS releases are supported for longer than 6 months. It's a year or 1.5 years or something.

[23:50] eseven73: Right. I thought that non-LTS went EOL after a year, at which point you'd upgrade to a new version.

[23:57] Looks like Picassa does not support movie files either. :( I will stick with f-spot then. [23:57] lifenova. I want to add onto Applications | Places | System | New Menu | [23:57] about one week ago I've used rsync to back up files with options "rsync -rlpEAXgoDtv"... When using the same options again, will this delta algorithm be applied automatically so that only differences in files will be transfered? [23:57] Now add onto Applications or something. [23:57] xxCody: ah, ok [23:58] You know a way? [23:58] hey if I want to submit some software to ubuntu, is it important that it be compiled using "make"? right now I have a file which compiles the program using a series of "g++" commands... and I dont really know how make works, but I could learn if its really important. [23:58] dreamy_, You did completely remove fglrx right [23:59] Copying files via SSH is 2x slower than FTP in my LAN. Both client and server have free resources, CPU is lower than 50%. Can I speed up ssh file transfer somehow?

[23:59] Jack_Sparrow: no not at all.. i curiously already had mesa installed [23:59] make, for simple compiles, is actually quite simple. A quick tutorial will likely be all that's needed to transform any *.sh file into a valid Makefile. (Not sure if it's preferred or required however, it is fairly standard though)
