[00:00] ximo: huh? I asked you several questions, so your single response is confusing [00:00] lard|arse: the diff :) [00:00] calwig: I mean your shell expands foo{1,3} to foo1 foo2 foo3 [00:00] If I switch off pulse. DMIX will start instead, won't it? [00:00] jrib: sorry, i checked the cap locks, this happens every time....I can log corrctly in tty [00:01] jrib: oh, well the files will be there although some files will not all be sequential 1,2,3,5,7,8,9,10 could this create that expansion? [00:01] jrib, it expands to foo1 foo3 [00:01] savvas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117888/ [00:01] I'm having an odd problem where flash objects load on web pages, and then randomly within 30 seconds to 3 minutes, all instances of flash die and turn into gray boxes. [00:01] jrib, foo[1-3] would expand to foo1 foo2 foo3 [00:01] damnit I'm supposed to be sleeping [00:01] jrub: is very strange, could this have something to do with my fingerprint reader soft? [00:02] fow: ha, sorry. I meant {1..3} [00:02] jrib: i configured my laptop so as to log with my finger, and this cworks just fine [00:02] calwig: ha, sorry. I meant {1..3} [00:03] jrib: so i don`t think that `s it [00:03] jrib: ok perhaps i need to have it explained a bit more detailed [00:03] ximo: it just seems really odd sorry not sure [00:03] calwig: foo{1..3} epands to foo1 foo2 foo3 [00:03] i increased download speed in ubuntu. [00:03] pepperjack: ok, thank`s anyway [00:04] jrib: so that doesnt move the files? [00:04] calwig: right. You use mv to move files [00:04] jrib: correct, thats what i want to use [00:05] calwig: so use mv foo{1..3} TARGET right? [00:05] jrib: is there a simple shell to move files, like file commander or something [00:05] right [00:05] calwig: mc [00:05] how u remote to somebody computer [00:05] !ssh | dee25 [00:05] dee25: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [00:06] jrib: Any ideas? I read googling around that someone had the same problem but he didn`t get an aswer [00:06] and the beauty of putty is you can run it off a USB ! [00:06] jrib: can i move files with mc? [00:06] ximo: don't know. finger print reader is a good guess. Have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com [00:06] lard|arse: I'm searching for something, hold a sec [00:07] can i use anything besides my freind has a virus in his pc [00:07] not yet, I`ll check it rigth the way..tks!

[00:08] calwig: I assume so, I don't use it. For what you are doing I imagine using mv would be easier [00:09] Hi all... I've managed to bork my Hardy install... I've booted CrunchBang's Live CD but I cannot get my home folder to back up. [00:09] Having installed the linux-server kernel, how do I revert back to the generic one? [00:10] gizmo_the_great: boot into it from GRUB [00:10] pepperjack, I looked through the guide posted and I looked (and installed) firestarter. That's a NICE setup [00:10] gizmo_the_great: install -generic (or don't, if its still installed), choose generic at GRUB, and then once you've booted to it, you can remove -server through package management [00:10] a LOT easier than on FreeBSD fore sure. [00:10] Flannel: cheers :-) [00:10] <^hashbang^> firestarter? [00:11] where can i ask a question about screenlets [00:11] !firestarter | ^hashbang^ [00:11] ^hashbang^: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:11] which is the fastest downloader for ubuntu [00:11] HA! I got to do it to you, hashbang. :) [00:11] <^hashbang^> nice!

[00:13] Is there someone who is good with sound, because now I have two problems, one with a mic and one with my speakers buzzing... [00:13] Okashi: it could be that your computer is sending mic input to the speakers, causing feedback [00:13] and i'm not sure how to fix that [00:14] darn... [00:14] Okashi, could also be the speakers (if they're external) are not plugged in all the way. [00:14] lard|arse: did you file a bug about it? [00:14] how to know if this is the case is that turning off or unplugging the mic stops the buzzing [00:14] Some of the contacts might be shorted on the speaker connection [00:14] Okashi, is it coming from the speakers . or headphones? [00:14] (Huufarted): I checked that first [00:14] savvas: not yet... should it? [00:14] (linkinx64_): the speakers === drew_ is now known as GuruDrew [00:14] hey everyone , i need to know what program to use on ubuntu 8.10 to burn audio cds for my car, i dont know which one to use because when i try to burn them they show up error when i try to play them === Foolean is now known as F_o_ea_ [00:14] Okashi, i had a problem like that... but it was my headphones [00:15] happy epoch?

[00:15] Okashi, lol i replacethe headphones [00:15] lard|arse: yes, please do :) http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug and file it against the package linux [00:16] oh hey about sound. my brother has 8.10 installed and his sound is really low, i'm not asking for a troubleshoot just if there is something that is known about 8.10 and realtecl audio cards [00:16] (linkinx64_): >_< these are new speakers... [00:16] GeffIsLegend: get k3b and then search for the mp3 plugin for it. it uses qt but its still the best gui burning app [00:16] Glassworks, check the volume in alsamixer [00:16] no he has [00:16] errr, ive never used anything but xp/vista before. [00:16] Okashi, :( sorry i dont know [00:16] darn... [00:16] Are there any Open Source games with GOOD graphics and gameplay?

[00:17] ddoom: i think you need to install the hfs tools [00:17] (linkinx64_): did that before I came here, came up with nothing that really helped, that's how I ended up with two problems instead of one. [00:18] o wow sorry to read that === KeithGS is now known as Keith [00:18] Okashi, 8.10? [00:18] (linkinx64_): yeah [00:18] i have a program that expects keycode 0x1B but my keyboard is actually producing 0x10001B. is there somewhere i can go to verify that chopping off the top bits is a legit workaround? [00:18] Okashi, never happened with 8.04? [00:18] (linkinx64_): I have never used 8.04 [00:18] If a DNS name in sources.list resolves to a round robin IP list, and one of those IP addresses does not respond, would apt-get try a different IP address? [00:19] any resource on understanding keyboard input is greatly appreciated. [00:19] pepperjack: oh okay so where would i find the mp3 plugin for it though? [00:19] Okashi, not sure.....i am running 9.04 and it's perfect [00:19] but it's alpha [00:19] (linkinx64_): *sigh* it was working fine till I tried to get the headset to work....

And ideas? I suspect it's trying to write user data somewhere and failing but I can't understand the crash log) [00:33] maybe this is an easy question, but how can I tell what type of cpu a system has from the command-line? Is there a way to tell from /proc/cpuinfo if I'm running a Xeon E5310 for example? [00:33] VolVE: cat /proc/cpuinfo [00:33] VolVE: lol sorry [00:33] pepperjack: ha, thanks :) [00:33] pepperjack: what is the groups command? and where is the cd stored?? lol [00:34] VolVE: im on a xeon atm it shows the model name as intel(R) xeon(TM) cpu 1.80GHz in cpuinfo [00:34] zcat[1]: try #winehq [00:34] pepperjack: ah, thanks.

[00:36] Oh.. one-up. [00:36] zcat[1]: also have you disabled compiz? sometimes that causes random crashes of wine programs [00:36] I don't even have 3d drivers [00:36] zcat[1]: (that also means desktop effects set to none) [00:37] zcat[1]: also do you have a link to what daywatch.exe is === dbrinegar is now known as dbr-slavingaway [00:37] zcat[1]: correction daybeach [00:37] had this working on my laptop before, sis chipset, no 3d support at all.

I'm not aware of a way to do it in nautilus though [00:42] jrgp, ok thanks.. ill just look into that.. [00:42] Howdy. with two bridges br0 and br1 configured for eth0 and eth1 in my /etc/network/interfaces, my system goes through a nutty period at startup before launching any gettys or sshd, but after bringing up the interfaces, whereby it restarts ntpd a number of times. any idea what's up? [00:42] I accidentally xkill'd my panels... how can I reload them?

[00:47] pepperjack: >_< killall gnome-panel killed off a stalled panel and reloaded =) [00:47] what's up [00:47] Oli``: eh. it normally respawns i just xkilled mine and it came right back [00:47] ? [00:48] fallore, whever you want.. 'sudo mkdir /media/MyStuff' 'sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/MyStuff' [00:48] pepperjack: yeah I think it crashed half-way through being killed... system is being kind of glitchy today [00:48] hi how can i scan for metadata in banshee? [00:49] Dr_Willis, wouldnt it make more sense to mount somthing at /mnt instead ? [00:49] since /media is a sorta like /dev [00:50] kriss3d, NO.. youi dont understand what /media/ is . :) [00:50] kriss3d: erm, how so? [00:50] kriss3d, things get mounted UNDER /media/ in their own dirs.. like i showed. [00:50] !mc [00:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about mc [00:50] well yeah.. it might just be me but i always mount things in /mnt [00:50] !info mc | calwig [00:50] mc (source: mc): midnight commander - a powerful file manager.

[00:51] kriss3d, what if you mount 5 different things. :) [00:51] things mounted in /media will show up on the desktop. that would make it easier to find. [00:52] Dr_Willis, i just like my things mounted in same folder /mnt.. i suppose its all a matter of habbit [00:52] kriss3d, ubuntu is following the fhs, /mnt is intended for transient mounting; http://osdir.com/ml/linux.lsb.specification/2003-11/msg00032.html has a good exposition [00:53] kriss3d, i got /mnt/ linked to /media/ :P [00:53] hehe [00:53] ah ok [00:53] oh, that's evil. What I I walk you through a fix and want to use /mnt as intended Dr_Willis ? :) [00:54] hi folks [00:54] hi [00:55] Why is this so quiet? [00:55] Everyone has mastered Ubuntu :P [00:55] tsrk: No real answer to that, no one is experiencing issues [00:55] just startin [00:55] bemuse: I can assure you thats not the case :) [00:55] ah ok [00:55] haha, i know [00:55] except me :P [00:55] I'm running a shared server, what's the best way to disable shell access for someone (but still let them access their files via ftp)? [00:55] I'm one of the big newbies [00:55] tsrk: assign a shell like /bin/false [00:55] bemuse: We all are, to a certain extent [00:56] figured out the dual monitor thing. [00:56] bitmonk, what's the best way to do that? [00:56] or, you can use something like ldap/krb or another auth db for ftp, many ftpd support non-system users.. [00:56] edit /etc/passwd? [00:56] tsrk: that's the most straightforward [00:56] well I want them to have a user on the system [00:56] where can i get alien [00:56] for apache and stuff [00:56] tsrk: avoid alien [00:56] !alien | tim [00:56] tim: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [00:56] tim: avoid alien [00:56] tim, and why do you need that? [00:57] tim, think the movie, it's pretty close if you're not absolutely sure what scripts are in the rpm/tar [00:57] will changing their shell in /etc/passwd change what's used for the php exec() function? [00:57] want to install vmware and need to convert an rpm so ubunto will install it [00:57] tim, get the tar.gz instead, it installs fine [00:57] tsrk: good question. [00:57] ok [00:57] tim, last i looked - there were deb packages of vmware. i have also used that tar.gz befor [00:57] but i use virtualbox now a days [00:57] if they can php exec(), who cares if they can just ssh? [00:57] debs? I'd use debs too [00:58] !vmware [00:58] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [00:58] can anyone tell what's the best program in ubuntu for video conference at this moment? [00:58] bitmonk, i was hoping it would disable exec() [00:58] frank_b for one to one Skype most likely [00:59] tsrk: ah, it may, i'd suggest testing and reading docs for php exec() [00:59] bitmonk, i'm reading the docs right now but it doesn't say anything about the shell it uses [00:59] you should be able to control that in php config, unless run as a cgi, i don't think php runs as the user who owns the file. [00:59] anyone know if i can do internet connection sharing in ubuntu? [00:59] shaggy123, OK, that's what I suspected, thank you very much for your tip! :) [00:59] php exec() probably has the permissions of the apache user. [01:00] you should just be able to disable it with an apache config or php.ini paramater [01:00] frank_b welcome :) [01:00] has anyone managed to get a ATI x850 working with 3d accel? === Korfox is now known as Sleepyfox === Sleepyfox is now known as Korfox [01:01] bitfish, i use mpm-itk to change the user so it does run as the correct user [01:01] Anyone have an idea why my slabtop shows everything over 95% usage :\ kinda worrying [01:02] hi [01:02] fearful: anything useful in top?

[01:03] ardchoille: I have like 130+ process but only like 5 are running rest are sleeping, and my id% is over 80% always [01:03] fearful; id% would be idle% [01:04] bastid_razor: yea I don't understand why so many process are running, is it normal? [01:04] could it be that somehow broken hardware is running smoothly in windows but causes weird errors in ubuntu? [01:04] like crashing programs [01:04] total slabs = 100% [01:04] poo slabs?? [01:05] I'm just wondering if this should be worrying or not [01:05] RAM usage is always below 30% so thats good [01:06] Raylz, i have found bad memory can often cause that sort of issue.. windows crashes so much.. you dont notice the problem.. but under linux.. it sees the problem and gives an error befor it crashes. :) but ya never notice the error. [01:06] fearful; get htop. it has a slightly nicer UI === wahnfrieden is now known as psufan [01:06] Dr_Willis: i did a memtest for 4 hours [01:06] no errors [01:06] bastid_razor ok, but that still doesn't answer my question, is it normal that the usage of slab should be that high? [01:07] Raylz, Just 4? :) On my system it showed the bad mem in 4 sec... [01:07] bastid_razor, not really cuasing problems just caught my attention [01:07] Dr_Willis: dunno, i know that something is terrible broken in this pc, windows acts weird too, but a lot less [01:07] fearful; slabs? [01:08] bastid_razor, yup press slabtop on your system it shows the output of like the cache and stuff.. which i'm not really familiar with I found this command today [01:08] type* [01:08] Raylz, that can be hard to track down.. I had a flakey pc.. eventually found a ide cable with one thin cut on the wire on one side...

[01:11] Raylz, i find that windows crashes so much normally.. you dont notice the extra crashes. [01:11] bastid_razor not really thats why I'm asking :p [01:11] Dr_Willis: it doesnt crash for me, but it doesnt work well, maybe because of the broken hardware [01:11] fearful; type man slabtop [01:11] i just dont know what to replace [01:12] would be better to buy a new one for 300 bucks [01:12] any tools to trace down hardware errors? [01:12] like some special knoppix version [01:12] bastid_razor, I did... [01:12] bastid_razor I even showed you the output...

[01:53] <__mikem> jrib, rebooting did not work [01:53] Weehawky: ok, well you need to prefix it with "sudo " and "virtualbox" is not the group in the error message, so you probably want to change that [01:54] __mikem: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:54] <__mikem> hold on [01:54] jrib, I am not understanding how I would add myself to the "group" [01:54] I'm trying to compile an intel 945G graphics chipset and I got this when I typed make: http://pastebin.com/m16241da7 [01:54] what is a .deb file ?

[02:11] WebcamWonder: i know about that, but i thought there was also a way to simply double click on someone's name and have it copied to the chatbox [02:11] hi in this video the user has a compiz fusion plugin that kind of bumps windows one in front the next when they click on them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4fTh0x3xLE&feature=PlayList&p=FE8D0432C129C592&playnext=1&index=1 does anyone know wha that is?

[02:12] ubuntu doesn't recognize new sound card. help please [02:12] hey people! A quick modprobe.d question please.. in the alsa-base file, can I have two nearly the same options? say, "options snd-hda-intel model=hippo" and "options snd-hda-intel model=vaio position_fix=0"?? [02:12] I'm having trouble with glx on intrepd with the ati proprietary driver [02:12] @job is it a x-fi? [02:13] sorry don't understand x-fi [02:13] the card [02:13] a creative x-fi [02:13] ? [02:13] Dynex card [02:13] huh...there goes my idea [02:13] WebcamWonder: i logged in and out and i still dont see anything for dropbox, i should add that im using Xubuntu as guest in virtuabox [02:14] works with vista [02:14] spaceBARbarian: Oh Xubuntu. Then you won't see any graphics attached to dropbox. The dropbox plugin is for nautilus (gnome) [02:14] i was thinking something along the lines of a script to run "sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" but not needing the sudo because the user is in the same group as update-manager (which is currently gid root) [02:14] SO! One guy told me he set up GEM and phoronix, and now he can play games with his intel graphics chipset.... [02:14] how to know which bash i am runing [02:14] is there any way to mount multiple partitions automatically on startup? [02:14] how would I go about doing that? [02:15] spaceBARbarian: However, the daemon would be working in the background (hopefully), see if you have a ~/Dropbox/ and try putting some files in there [02:15] but if there are security flaws.... or hell, if that's even the right program... [02:15] mai-five; you could switch out aptitude for apt-get and have a script that runs the program..

[02:17] WebcamWonder: i need fast performance so should i install an older version maybe "(running Vbox) [02:17] aptitude could work too.... but i was hoping it'd be non-interactive... just a yes-to-all as it were.... the user is not terribly savvy you see [02:17] Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc.

[02:21] WebcamWonder: lemme try reinstalling the package [02:21] Ashok_ my radeon card is only supported by radeon so i use the mesa opengl [02:22] is there a site to look at? [02:22] but i suppose that for the fglrx driver there is something different [02:22] lol thanks bastid i think i'll use aptitude instead of apt-get from now on.... but barring a change to sudoers, i still need administrative privs.... is that not something that's dicated by gid? [02:22] mib_v07zdy: DVD: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release/ [02:23] WebcamWonder: reinstalled the package, still no .dropbox stuff [02:23] umm.... will the cd version work? [02:23] how can I make persistent changes/configuration to the Guest account (running intrepid, fully updated) [02:24] spaceBARbarian: Perhaps it is b/c dropbox plugin itself doesn't start to download the dropbox daemon. Goto their forums, and grab their forum builds, and extract it using the command they give. That should bring in the daemon for you [02:24] mai-five; editing the /etc/sudoers with that info i gave you will only affect aptitude. that will let aptitude run without having to type a passwd [02:24] hi, the sound on my laptop doesnt work, I'm using 8.10 and I've tried all the fixes in the forum, can someone help me?

[02:42] mib_v07zdy: no, you'll need to get the packages for what you want though. It may be easier to install the server version and then use the alternate cd to install ubuntu-desktop as well. I don't know if the alternate cd contains apache, php, etc [02:42] anyone use winetricks? i get this when trying to install stuff using winetricks: err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out [02:42] Got compiz, not set there as far as I can see (general options->key bindings) [02:42] tritium, ya here?

And it's also the torrent ubottu linked you to [02:47] when i first installed wubi 804 back in november it was very fast, but now it's grinding to a halt [02:48] robertc1985: Wubi is not meant to be for long term use, b/c of the way it handles partitions [02:48] robertc1985: doesn't wubi run ubuntu under windows? or does it reboot? [02:48] histo: It runs Ubuntu natively off a large file inside the NTFS drive loopback mounted as an ext3 file partition [02:48] !sound [02:48] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[02:51] how do i do that? [02:51] well since i've actually had luck in windows occasionally running defrag, i wonder if that would help any? [02:52] robertc1985: Since you have a 30 gig file, it should help given that it is very unlikely that 30 gig is written as a linear file on your NTFS [02:52] green_: aplay -D , I think that is the format [02:52] what i find odd is that only small programs tend to freeze, while when i watch movies in totem or play games like second life everything seems fine [02:52] :-/ xbind-keys doesn't seem to work (as in, the shortcuts it make don't do anything) [02:53] No one seems to be able to answer my question. :'( [02:54] secvuln: We would have answered it, if we knew the answer.

[02:55] WebcamWonder: isn't wubi using ext3 [02:55] wubi is similar to virtualization i think [02:56] histo: Please read my prior description as to how wubi works. It is not similar to virtualization [02:56] It runs Ubuntu natively off a large file inside the NTFS drive loopback mounted as an ext3 file partition [02:56] wubi actually uses ntfs or fat 32 [02:56] WebcamWonder: if it loopbacks and mounts it as ext3 t5hen its ext3 [02:56] WebcamWonder: and that file would not need to be defragged nor could it. [02:57] histo: Yes, but since it is actually inside an NTFS partition, it is very unliekly that it would be stored linearly, and if NTFS is defragged, performance can be improved [02:57] ubottu [02:57] help [02:57] ok [02:57] whats prob [02:57] I want to add some options to my xorg.conf to improve the perforance of my Intel 945GME graphics, however my xorg.conf is -blank- in /etc/X11 ... where does Ubuntu keep it's Xorg configs these days?

[02:59] ok ubuntu is in a file that appears to ubuntu as en ext3 partition when in reality it is a file named root.disk on my c:\ drive [02:59] inflex: Yeah, it has had its good moments with some people, and its bad with others [02:59] Whats better UBUNTU or WIn XP [02:59] trolls.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:00] daniel, i only use xp when wine simply won't work [03:00] use VirtualBox if you must [03:00] green_: Home should be fine, since that is the default directory a new terminal default to. Are you sure that is the same name of the device you see from aplay -l? [03:01] robertc1985; then why are you messing with wubi? do a real install [03:01] well i'm going to see if i have any luck running defrag in windows [03:01] well i'm not good at partitioning [03:01] wubi makes it easier [03:01] I am trying to access some flash content, which one should I pick, to be sure my cam will work?

[03:02] happy valentine's day!! :) [03:02] which command to use to check if certain kernel module is enabled? [03:02] i tried aplay -D with both "STAC92xx" and "STAC92xx Analog" [03:03] green_: get the cardname from, asoundconf list [03:03] chetnick: lsmod === kop_ is now known as kop [03:04] Where do all my programs install (using synaptic), and if I was to create a separate partition for it, would that mean the same programs were installed across any OS that used that partition? Or is it slightly more complicated? :) [03:04] lmao: Not possible without PA. Skype uses Alsa by default. And you need your soundcard to support hardware mixing, or dmix for software mixing === ___mikem is now known as __mikem [03:04] WebcamWonder, how do you do that [03:04] asounfconf list returned $ Names of available sound cards : Intel [03:04] WebcamWonder, what is PA? [03:05] oh pulse? [03:05] chu_: Slightly more complicated. Most installs bring in files to /lib, /bin, etc. I think what you are more thinking about is a separate home [03:05] !home | chu_ [03:05] chu_: 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 === giaco_auaii is now known as giaco [03:05] lmao: Yeah, pulseaudio. There is a wiki out there that instructs on how to properly configure skype for PA, if you use it that is [03:05] chu_, are you trying to keep your applications on one partition separate from you os partition? (I know some people using windoze do that sometimes) [03:06] where is it WebcamWonder [03:06] lmao: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [03:06] I have my /home in a separate directory, but I'm wondering, if I was to upgrade to 9.04 would I still have (for instance) Celestia installed? [03:06] 8.10 [03:06] chu_: If you upgrade, yes [03:06] yes [03:06] lmao: And, do you use PA? Or not? [03:06] no i dont use it currently [03:06] s/directory/partition [03:06] hello [03:07] hello [03:07] my webcam was working on the previous ubuntu release, but it's not after the update to the least version [03:07] lmao: Then you need dmix to enable software mixing (which I have no clue with). I would recommend to ask more people here, and google around [03:07] !webcam | giaco [03:07] giaco: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [03:07] if anyone has problems ask me [03:07] thank you WebcamWonder [03:07] you think with a name like WebcamWonder you could get more help out of him :P [03:08] lol, it's funny [03:08] yes [03:08] where's HardDiskWonder? [03:08] WebcamWonder, no i dont use it currently [03:08] :-D [03:08] exodus_ms: I was waiting for that comment :P... Everytime :) [03:08] It's HDW's night off. [03:08] But if I was to install, say xubuntu on a separate partition, would it be able to find the same Celestia install (I would be using the same /home) [03:08] WebcamWonder, cool, good to see you are a good sport :) [03:09] chu_: /home contains all your personal files. So, it won't find the program installed, but if you were to install it, it would pick up your saved config [03:09] Alterax: I hear, he had quite a trash [03:09] hi everybody! [03:09] exodus_ms: :) [03:09] hy# [03:10] WebcamWonder [03:10] lmao: Oh, sorry. Missed your reply in the comments, hold up [03:10] webcamwonder, asoundconf gives me a help page, and asoundconf list just returns "Intel" [03:10] ok [03:10] green_: Then try only "intel" in the aplay [03:11] I come bearing gifts and seeking assistance... [03:11] WebcamWonder, ok [03:11] lmao: I can't take guarentee for this, but here is what a search turned up, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32063 [03:11] Hi, can anyone tell me how to trigger this script [03:11] http://pastebin.com/f5dce2eb0 [03:11] warfie43: You can keep your gifts, and still take out assistance (if we can help you that is) [03:11] i have same error [03:11] I have questions regarding this (http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html) especially the FAQ. Can someone tell me wether I should use the properetary driver I automatically received via apt-get with Xubuntu or wether to choos the one from the ATI website? [03:11] Warfie43 -- What's the trouble? [03:11] To get involved in 9.04 testing, I need to create a Launchpad account, anything else? [03:12] chu_: Just start testing, and see if it breaks, and then report it [03:12] @Webcamwonder&Alterax :D [03:12] Alright [03:12] Aquina, I'd stick with the standard ones from the repo, if only because updating them will be smoother in the future.

[03:13] thanks, Alterax! But what about ATI Cat. Control Center? [03:13] I need Ragel 6.2 which is not available via synaptic for Hardy. Compiling requires g++ which I didn't have but which I installed via synaptic and also GNU Make, which gives me a lot of synaptic choices but no clear indication which is the correct package. Any thoughts? [03:13] Never really used it, Aquina. [03:13] Sorry I can't be of help there. [03:13] anteaya: install build-essential, it should bring in everything [03:13] anteaya, try build-essential [03:13] I see. :-) [03:13] anteaya, install build-essential ; it will get you the right packages [03:14] Like WCW said. ;-) [03:14] Xenos; http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/configure-custom-keyboard-shortcuts-on-ubuntu-256955.php [03:14] * nickrud is wols [03:14] WebcamWonder: thanks I will do, I looked at build-essential earlier but the description said i didn't need the package, i will return there, thanks all [03:14] Alterax, nickrud thanks [03:14] Umm, how do I create a backup of my current /home?

[03:31] lmao: gedit makes an automatic backup of all edited files. Just goto the directory you edited the file from, and you should see a file name, originalfilename~, that is your backup [03:32] n\median: you don't need to do that. All ports are allowed to be used by default [03:32] hmm [03:32] n\median: all you need to do is start something that uses that port [03:32] lmao: Move the original file to somehting like, filename.doesntwork, and move the backup to the real filename [03:32] anyone help with configraton of samba share [03:32] i did start teamspeak [03:32] I love my laptop since putting Ubuntu (Intrepid) on it, but it does not play streaming video properly. If I visit a site like msnbc.com the deo starts and plays most of the way through, but then the stream stops and once the player catches up to the download it stops and plays no more. This is a consistent and persistent error that does not occur in my Windows Virtual Machine on the same computer. Can anyone point me to a solu [03:32] and the port still missing in that report [03:32] n\median: did you tell it to use that port? [03:32] yes [03:32] its that port by default [03:32] Could anyone recommend a high quality remote support application that would allow me to to connect to windows systems (I used teamviewer when on windows, but wine doesnt work well with file transfer if needed) [03:32] n\median: you might need to manually scan it with nmap -p 8767 [03:33] WebcamWonder, k thansk [03:33] thanks [03:33] n\median: er, nmap -p 8767 localhost [03:33] illumin8: vnc?

[03:37] n\median: ps aux [03:37] steelcityjim: I don't really know. I haven't worked much with samba. BUt the smb.conf does have an option of globally disabling anony. writes [03:37] hope someone can help... in synaptic or aptitude/apt-get from the command line, my system seems to be confused about which is the newer version of any app... for example, when i tried to install sun-java6-jdk, it had dependency issues because it tried to install from the hardy repo, but i have the jre from hardy-updates installed. by forcing the version to the one from hardy-updates, everything worked fine... Why would it not select th [03:37] e newer version? [03:38] stryd_one: It is expected, since the jre was installed from a higher version, it might be that the dependency for sun-java6-jdk was actually lower than the current installed package [03:39] lstarnes: this is weird! i started the teamspeak with one user. then i switched to admin, and did that cmd.. but the process isnt there [03:39] n\median: it likely died [03:39] i cant find a file in the trash i just deleted [03:40] WebcamWonder, thank for helping... that's the thing though... the latest version of the jdk, installed fine - but i had to force it to the latest version.... when i let the system select it without forcing, it chose the older version [03:40] lmao: how did you delete it? [03:40] rm [03:40] lmao: rm completely skips trash [03:40] erg. Tribal Trouble has borked my audio. I'm getting the ol' rapid noise loop. I can stop the Alsa service to stop all sound, but it's still there when I restart the service. Anything I can do without restarting my session?

I am not sure though [03:40] teamspeak2-server_startscript status [03:40] the server seems to be running [03:41] tnnc, try entering "sudo network-admin" [03:41] how do i get a new /etc/esound/esd.conf file anyone? [03:41] tritium, ya here? [03:41] aha, that would explain it, i'll look into that thanks WebcamWonder :) [03:41] lmao: try reinstalling esd [03:41] asu [03:41] ady [03:41] stryd_one have you checked the synaptic options? [03:41] i removed pulseaudio, and now aplay says set_params:954: Sample format non available [03:42] off topic, whats a good site for "rainbow tables"? [03:42] lstarnes, how do you do that?

[03:45] Aquina, no i'm running 8.04, and it installs 8.04 packages, but it doesn't select the newest version available, i have to force it [03:46] i made a boo boo and changed the ownership of the mount point of a directory (its called /store on /dev/hdb2) who is supposed to own the mount point?

[03:46] ok thanks [03:47] seriouslycgi: user root, group root to be exact [03:47] yup thank you. ill change both [03:48] force is normally only required if there are several versions available and you want to choose a different one. I'd recommend you to use apt-get and reinstall that thing. Also try to cleanup config. [03:49] There must be somethin' messed up severely [03:49] Aquina, was this addressed to me?

[03:53] warfie43, that isn't exactly true. I have installed flash 9 and it is persistant despite reboots. [03:53] Aquina, i did use apt-get, same results :( I agree, something ain't right, but i've no idea where to look to try and fix it. I haven't done any kind of weird config to aptitude/apt-get/synaptic aside from adding new repos [03:53] http://www.metroflog.com/ci0livera [03:53] * warfie43 pulls his head in.... [03:53] im pretty sure, i have all the audio settings enabled [03:53] GeffIsLegend, it's: winecfg on the cmd line [03:53] GeffIsLegend, you have to make sure the sound test works there *first* [03:54] GeffIsLegend, b/c if wine can't output sound, WoW never will ;) [03:54] rdw200169: yeah i just tested sound it worked, should i enable sound emulation? [03:54] hi [03:54] bye [03:55] GeffIsLegend, no, i just have Full/44100/16 for the option [03:55] lstarnes, i changed ownership and group do i need to reboot for changes cos its not letting me in anymore :s [03:55] oh i need to change mode as well dont i? [03:55] seriouslycgi: you shouldn't need to reboot [03:55] GeffIsLegend, are you using the alsa driver? [03:55] seriouslycgi: what is the mode set to? [03:56] rdw200169: thats what i got , and i got everything in the check boxes checked in also [03:56] lstarnes, drwxr-xr-x [03:56] rdw200169: pretty sure all of them are enabled, is this bad? lol [03:56] seriouslycgi: that looks correct [03:56] liboobs [03:56] GeffIsLegend, just use alsa [03:57] im using thunar but it wont let me in the mount point/directory [03:57] do i need to re-mount it [03:57] seriouslycgi: you might need to [03:57] GeffIsLegend, wine is a bastard about alsa, it will only use the 'default' [03:58] oo , hah, should i reset WoW and try it? [03:58] GeffIsLegend, sure, wouldn't hurt [03:58] rdw200169: kk1min [03:59] hi i'm having problems with a canon printer ip1600. iget an error which says child process aborted [03:59] just use alsa-oss if your having issues with sound in wine [03:59] what could be the problem [04:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/117914/ [04:00] rdw200169: didnt work :-/ [04:00] whats a good way to restart *conky* to see my config changes? [04:02] baz: well how do you normally start conky? [04:02] y'all got a new user coming your way, just sold a computer and she was excited about the os [04:03] As I see it, there are generally 2 ways I open a file, to either view it or to edit it. Its there any program I can use to streamline being able to do this to a file? Say I hold down shift when I double click on a file, it will open the editor i choose instead of a program to view it with. Anyone know of a program like this or have a comment on the idea? [04:03] ziroday, by typing 'conky' in terminal [04:03] baz: okay. try kill it with killall conky [04:04] GeffIsLegend, i don't know then... have you check the config.wtf file to make sure it's alright (for WoW)? [04:04] good morning everyone, can anyone tell me why I have to create two profiles in my vnc4server? and upon rebooting, I have to always start the second account, or it says connection dropped, I am on LAN === endeavormac|afk is now known as endeavormac [04:04] ScottG489: AFAIK there is no utility to do this, can you give an example on one of these files? [04:04] ziroday, thats good, thanks [04:04] does anyone here speaks german? [04:04] mcstinky: I have heard of people adding it to a startup script [04:04] ill have to double check, where does the Config.WTF go exactly? which directory [04:04] #de | jony_kalavera [04:04] baz: and then restart it with conky :). Also if conky is running in the terminal you can use ctrl+c to kill it [04:05] #du | jony_kalavera [04:05] !de | jony_kalavera [04:05] jony_kalavera: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [04:05] jarco, ich jony_kalavera [04:05] redvamp128, thanks! to the google-macine! =D [04:05] ziroday, what about making it independent of the terminal [04:05] Anyone who is searching for this later might like to know: I found the culprit: /etc/apt/preferences has some pinnings set. I removed them and it's fixed [04:05] baz: do conky & disown [04:06] jony_kalavera brauchst Du Hilfe? [04:06] i dont speak german but i think this forum could be simmilar to my problem. http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/canon-ip2500/?highlight=open#post-1189645 [04:06] For an older computer that will not boot from USB; is there a boot disk that will let you boot from USB? [04:06] thanks all, 'til next time! :) [04:06] rdw200169: ill have to double check, where does the Config.WTF go exactly? which directory [04:06] GeffIsLegend, it should be in the WTF directory of where WoW is installed [04:06] ziroday: I can think of a ton of examples. Say you have an image file, you could open gimp to edit it or image viewer to edit it. Thats probably my most common problem but I know I have run into other occasions where i have frequently wanted to edit a file or view it almost an equal ammount [04:06] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER axor1337 aavifeqeufxh [04:06] You know how an old Windows 98 boots from floppy, then you point it at the cd drive. Is there a boot cd that you can then use to boot from USB? [04:07] ScottG489: sure, well I don't know any way to do that, you might want to put your idea up on brainstorm.ubuntu.com [04:07] In future it would be better to do those type of things in the status window axor1337 [04:07] axor1337: you will want to change your password [04:07] sorry wrong one http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/canon-ip-1500-unter-ubuntu-8.10-32-bit/ [04:07] jony_kalavera existiert das Verzeichnis und hast Du die Rechte dafür? [04:07] axor1337: not that smartest thing to do [04:07] ziroday: Or for a lot of programming files. The IDE I use takes a while to open, say I just want to look at it with a smaller program that formatted it correctly (not just a text viewer) [04:07] isaac_: you should be able to configure that through the bios [04:08] ziroday some old computers' BIOS won't boot from USB. [04:08] ScottG489: yep, it makes sense to me. When you're done submitting your idea ping me and I'll approve it for you [04:08] ziroday: Thats something i seriously would like to program myself if i knew how to right now [04:08] Aquina: i dont speak german i was just asking for anyone who could explain this http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/canon-ip-1500-unter-ubuntu-8.10-32-bit/ [04:08] ziroday: What does approving it do? [04:09] hi people [04:09] ScottG489: well when you submit an idea it has to be approved by moderators, to make sure it makes sense etc before people can vote on it [04:09] i've a trouble with my intrepid [04:10] oh ok [04:10] isaac_: depending on what the os is on the computer I have heard of the following-- installing linux on a usb stick-- then adding wingrub to point to the usb (which would still use the mbr) if windows is installed. [04:10] darthanubis: whats not working? [04:10] darthanubis: whoops, sorry [04:10] habemus... [04:10] ufw or firestarter leave open the icmp and i cannot stay stealth [04:11] redvamp128 Ouch......... sounds like it could seriously mess up the resident OS. Do you know anyone who could make a boot cd like that? [04:11] i cannot pass the security test of shieldsup [04:12] isaac_: it is not a big mess let me give you the page to the wingrub-- it is a line added to the boot.ini to point to the wingrub then to boot the linux without major changes. [04:12] DarthSomething: you are fine, don't worry about it. [04:12] Appologies if this is not the right question for this area, but i have checked other channels and noone seems to know. I downloaded Savage XR and tried to install it from the terminal but get a error that i am lacking permissions, how can i give myself permissions on it (i have tried right clicking to change them) [04:12] and i've not found an ultimate guide to set up my firewall [04:12] isaac_: WinGrub and Ubuntu [04:12] th ziroday [04:12] hi [04:12] tx [04:12] illumin8: do chmod ugo+r /path/to/executable [04:12] ziroday, Thank you [04:13] Sorry jony_kalavera but I think I cannot help you with that. You'd specify your problem a bit more. Generally installing all packets is necessary. [04:13] but i've not undestood if to use ufw is the cause to not be stealth [04:13] who knows a good and easy wfi captif portal [04:13] DarthSomething: that test was designed for windows computers, not linux futhermore its somewhat outdated [04:14] fred__, coovachilli, coova.org or coova.com [04:14] maybe also my router that replies to icmp, but using firestarter i get some alarms [04:14] this things means that i'm not stealth [04:14] if someone ping my pc [04:15] where is mysql_config file ? at apt-get install mysql [04:15] fred__, it's an amazing upgrade to the now ancient chillispot captive portal. complete with DHCP redirection/relay, etc... [04:15] DarthSomething: do not worry. You are fine. [04:15] thanks [04:15] ziroday, bash: ./xr_setup-1.0b3-cl_lin_prod.bin: Permission denied after the command given [04:15] I'm using sshfs to mount a drive from another computer on my home network, question is how can I write to the drive? Whenever I use sshfs to mount a drive it's read only and I don't know how to make it writable. [04:15] mplayer starts caching in firefox for videos, then stops and status in player window says 'Stopped' video never plays. Any Idea? [04:16] illumin8: what does ls -l ./xr* output? [04:16] i'm a little paranoid, i know... but my real problem is to not understand how my firewall works [04:17] DarthSomething, if you really want to learn about how linux does firewalling, start reading about ipTables [04:17] DarthSomething, smoothwall, ufw, firestarter (etc... etc...) all use iptables [04:17] illumin8: according to that you didn't do chmod ugo+x ./xr* [04:17] ufw overwrite iptables rules? [04:17] illumin8: try sudo chmod ugo+x ./xr* [04:18] if i use ufw and firestarter i make something of bad? [04:18] illumin8: it depends on who owns the file, run it as sudo for now [04:18] DarthSomething, no, it's not like that; iptables is always in charge... ufw, in the backround, runs iptables to input the firewall information [04:18] DarthSomething, as does firestarter, etc... [04:18] DarthSomething, i don't understand your question [04:18] hey all, anyone tell me why when i make a change to file sharing settings (and the sharing is working) the settings aren't being reflected in /etc/samba/smb.conf [04:19] ok, they are likes gui for iptables [04:19] illumin8: and then when doing ls -l ./xr* it should read rwxrwxrwx [04:19] ziroday, ok thanks ill try that, be right back [04:19] step: I believe gnome puts the settings elsewhere, but don't know where sorry :( [04:19] frontend [04:19] in this way, i yet can use iptables rules [04:19] DarthSomething, yes [04:20] ziroday, that's my theory. but google isn't helping me out :( [04:20] and i must write/copy a "not icmp" iptables rule [04:20] DarthSomething, if you want more rules for firestarter, for example, you have to add stuff to /etc/firestarter/user-pre or user-post [04:20] hello? [04:20] step: what are you trying to do? [04:20] DarthSomething, and if you want to take some away, you have to edit /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh [04:20] memphis_: Hi! How can we help you? [04:20] ziroday, after trying the sudo mehtod i do get -rwxrwxrwx 1 now. thank you [04:20] tx rdw200169 [04:20] just checking out the digs, I am in Utah [04:21] ziro: mostly wanted to kill the "printers" share, but i'd like to tweak the browseable setting too. [04:21] illumin8: awesome! The file executes now? [04:21] DarthSomething, keep in mind that iptables is passive, as far as config loading is concerned [04:21] what about the linux file system :P [04:21] step: can you pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf? I'm not very good with samba but two brains are better then one [04:21] ziroday: what the topic tonight? [04:21] ziroday, that it does, quite fast actually :) [04:21] DarthSomething, the last firewall frontend to run is the one who owns the firewall; most firewall apps will flush the old firewall out, and add theirs [04:21] ziroday, thank you again, i should post this on thier forums? [04:22] hello [04:22] memphis_: This is support, something not working you can ask us. To chat you can do so in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [04:22] illumin8: you could, but the reason its not like that automatically is a security setting [04:22] ziro: i'm ok tinkering with the file, i just can't find where gnome's making the changes. it just isn't using the ones in /etc/ [04:22] illumin8: I believe, I could be wrong [04:22] well I wanted to ask I have a site www.videogamefixer.com and I wanted to know about getting a Ubuntu distro on a xbox 360 [04:22] step: you could ask in #gnome on irc.gimp.net [04:23] hi, how can i pair a device with bluez 4.x ??? anyone? [04:23] irc://irc.gimp.org/#gimp [04:23] finally if i use something likes "sudo iptables -something" i bypass ufw and firestarter? [04:23] ziro: thanks, i will. [04:23] memphis_: Not going to be easy. The Xbox 360 uses a version of the PowerPC architechture far more advanced than that ever supported by Ubuntu. [04:23] woops sorry [04:23] ziroday, to combine the two commands you sent me they would appear as "sudo chmod ugo+rx /path/to/file" correct? [04:23] or firestarter can overwrite my new rule? [04:24] how do we whisper (sorry a little new to linux and IRC) [04:24] illumin8: err sudo chmod ugo+x /path/to/file should do. [04:24] DarthSomething, well, unless you flush the firewall, it just adds the new rule to the end of the chain, if you use the -A rule for example [04:24] memphis_: If there IS such a distro, it's going to be oriented towards people wanting to use 360s for distributed computing (such as a render farm), not for, say, media playback. [04:24] memphis_: you mean message people? [04:24] DarthSomething, you can use -I to insert, but that's tricky to use [04:24] yeah [04:24] memphis_ /msg user [04:24] DarthSomething, its easier to just modify the user-pre/user-post files [04:25] DarthSomething, or edit firewall.sh [04:25] Or /query in some clients [04:25] lstarnes: thanks [04:25] i managed to put it working [04:25] I made a dvd, and the colors are fine on my windows computer, but under vlc and xine the colors are wrong. background are purple, people are greyed out, its just weird. [04:25] Does anyone here know how to get Ubuntu to do something with my M-Audio Audiophile? I did the firmware fix as described on the forums, which allowed ALSA to recognize it as existing, but I can't get anything to play through it. [04:25] rdw200169, what's the simplest way? edit user-pre? [04:26] Kolie_: I have a similar problem, except for me the color depth has been reduced entirely to nil, the contrast is gone, and the sound is muted. :) [04:26] I can hear fine, I had to switch to totem-xine [04:26] hey is it possible to "embed" a terminal on the desktop? [04:26] or use vlc [04:26] But color is wrong in both [04:27] chu_: I believe so with xwinwrap [04:27] DarthSomething, firestarter is pretty smart about *where* it adds the pre and post rules. consult firestarter.sh on where exactly it does this [04:27] DarthSomething, it's a relatively simple script to read ;) [04:27] Aquina: nevermind i found the solution sudo apt-get install libcnbj-2.6 bjfilter-2.6 pstocanonbj [04:27] ok, thanks [04:27] Aquina: thanx any way [04:28] you're very kind rdw200169 [04:29] DarthSomething, I try to help, i'm sorry if i sounded rude [04:29] noth, it sounds good ;-) [04:29] tx [04:31] my FF beeps when i scoll with ctrl+down and hit the bottom. can I silent it? [04:31] chu_: I did find one guide but it makes a terminal the desktop background- HOWTO: Terminal for desktop background. - Page 10 - Ubuntu Forums [04:31] owen1: you can remove the beep all together from all apps with sudo rmmod pcspkr [04:32] ziroday, that is one classy fix! (why didn't i do that? i just removed the speaker!) [04:32] ziroday: interesting, but i would like only from FF. [04:32] rdw200169: haha, you can add it do /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to have it not loaded at startup [04:33] ] [04:33] Anyone knows why the nvidia driver install isn't persistant after reboots on usb-flash-disks running the live image? Flash 9 is staying, despite reboots. Nvidia's drivers aren't :/ [04:33] ziroday: why not just goto system- preferences -- sound -- then system beep -- uncheck? [04:33] owen1: hmm for me doing ctrl+down changes tab [04:33] raz_-: why do you say that? [04:33] ziroday: i meant page-down..sorry [04:33] <_Thorn_> Is ubuntu 7.04 too old to "upgrade" ? [04:33] Does anyone know why sound isn't playing through my USB soundcard? [04:34] see you later! [04:34] owen1: page down doesn't do it either [04:34] tritium, because it is what I am currently experiencing? [04:34] raz_-: it's not true in general. Which driver package did you intsall? [04:34] ziroday: it doen't beep or doesn't scroll? [04:34] install, even [04:34] owen1: doesn't scroll [04:34] ziroday: weird. nothing happend? [04:35] owen1: ctrl+pg down changes tabs [04:35] tritium, the last one, using the ubuntu hardware driver for proprietary drivers menu.. version 180, if I remember correctly. [04:35] ziroday: i know. i am talking about scrolling. [04:35] owen1: don't know sorry [04:35] ziroday: np [04:37] raz_-: probably nvidia-glx-177, in that case. -180 doesn't show up in the menu. What does /etc/X11/xorg.conf list as the driver when you believe the driver doesn't persist? [04:38] I notice sometimes when I close programs, the power-manager crashes (8.10), do I report this as a bug? [04:38] It could be resetting I guess. [04:39] tritium, hold on, booting. [04:39] hai [04:39] !bugs | chu_ [04:39] chu_: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [04:45] :3 [04:47] any idea why I get -bash: cd: lighttpd: Permission denied [04:47] when I try to cd /var/log/lighttpd/ [04:48] -,d [04:48] evilGUI: because its a file not a folder? [04:48] nano try [04:48] I tried nano it says it's a folder. [04:49] same goes for the mysql log directory [04:49] evilGUI: can you pastebin ls -la /var/log/ [04:49] how u install 915 resolution i have it in my home folder [04:49] Is there a way to take a screenshot without shooting the pointer ? [04:49] dee25: that's typically not needed any more [04:49] Stargazer: I believe ksnapshot can do that [04:49] tritium, I perfermed an update earlier, as such, I have access to versions 173/177/180 in the "hardware drivers" menu. [04:49] hmm [04:50] evilGUI: most likely it's because you need root powers to access those directories so use sudo to access them [04:50] is not? [04:50] im trying to change my resolution [04:50] Stargazer, are you using the 'take screenshot' tool? I believe that has an option to not show mouse on picture [04:50] Ziroday, is there a native way ? (without using another probram) [04:50] http://pastebin.com/m2c3410b2 [04:50] raz_-: its inclusion in the menu evidently depends on what hardware is auto-detected. For many, 180 doesn't show up. [04:50] kitche: How would I do that sudo cd? [04:50] Mcstinky: just the PrtScrn button. :) [04:50] Stargazer: I always use ksnapshot as I find it more powerful, sorry [04:50] tritium, 180 is the "recommended" one.. once I click on "activate", it tells me I need to restart the computer to activate the driver. I do so. It doesn't. [04:50] evilGUI: yes but I would use sudo -i really [04:51] <_2> what is dir anyway ? Direct Rendering Infrastructure ? [04:51] eç [04:51] raz_-: what does "apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-180" reveal? Is it installed? Does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf list "nvidia" as the driver? [04:51] bad comand [04:51] dir = directory? [04:51] tritium, checking.. [04:51] evilGUI: right, you don't have read permission on that directory [04:51] <_2> bemuse typo dri [04:52] oh i see :P [04:52] ziroday: Is it meant to be that way? [04:52] evilGUI: well its how you set it up. You can change it. [04:53] <_2> so if i'm not using 3d nor wanting 3d is there any reason to work on getting dri working ? [04:53] tritium, "...nvidia-glx-180" indicates: installed (same as candidate): 180.11-0ubuntu1-intrepid1 ... opening xorg.conf. [04:53] raz_-: good [04:53] ziroday: How so? [04:53] evilGUI: sudo chmod ugo+r /var/log/lighttpd [04:54] <_2> 755 [04:54] ziroday: You see my problem was this VPS had root enabled by default for some odd reason and I installed a few things as root =( [04:54] ziroday: Should I do a reinstall? [04:55] tritium, yes.. under 'Section "Device"', there is 'Driver "nvidia"'. [04:55] evilGUI: thats fine, then just ssh in as root [04:55] raz_-: Sounds like it's installed and being used. [04:55] tritium, keep in mind that I just re-did the 'activate' thing. [04:55] r [04:56] ziroday: But that fact that I setup lighthttpd, mysql and PHP as root is that going to come back to kill me? [04:56] <_2> evilGUI yes absolutely, reinstalls three or four times a weak until you get good at it, then never reinstall again. [04:56] tritium, if I open the nvidia util, it tells me: "You do not appear to be using the NVidia X driver. Please edit your X configuration fiile (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server". [04:57] raz_-: please check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log for some clues [04:57] <_2> so about dri ? [04:58] <_2> advice welcome, is there any reason to try to get dri working if i'm not the least interested in 3d ? [04:58] tritium, I just did a "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and then ctrl+alt+backspace to restart X.. Seems that it is now working. As a side effect, the mouse pointer disappeared. I'll try restarting the whole thing to see how persistant it is. [04:58] list [04:59] raz_-: usb mouse? or standard one? [04:59] redvamp128, laptop touchpad. [05:00] <_2> ps2 probably raz_- [05:00] _2: nah, grab a beer. dealing with that sounds like potential torture. [05:00] raz_-: I found something the other night while I googled something else about restarting usb from prompt but I would not know where to begin with the touchpad [05:01] redvamp128: controlled by X [05:01] <_2> prince_jammys can i skip the beer too. that sounds like torture too [05:01] redvamp128: synaptics drivers. You could check lsmod but [05:01] _2: ok, a glass of milk [05:01] who knows with those things. [05:01] <_2> lactose yuch [05:01] * _2 looks for beer [05:02] how about sugar water?! [05:02] * histo doesn't have browser right now to look. Installing 8.10 on my main box. [05:02] hi, somebody suggested to add this to grub "title= Puppy Linux 4 root =(hd0,1) kernel=/pup4/vmlinuz ro quiet initrd= /pup4/initrd.gz [05:02] so i can choose puppy at start up, beside ubuntu and Xp [05:02] <_2> seriously would there be any real use for dri other than 3d effects [05:02] <_2> ? [05:03] but i wan,t to be sure before making changes to grub [05:04] qcjn: let me check mine-- I have puppy installed [05:04] redvamp128: thanks [05:05] qcjn: this is what I have for mine-- you may want to add it to the end as an added cushion [05:05] qcjn: title Puppy Linux 412 full install [05:05] root (hd1,0) [05:05] kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 pmedia=atahd nosmp [05:06] i can see the puppy files in my root, pup_410qcjn.sfs, pup_save-qcjn.2fs [05:06] allow [05:06] so it should be ok [05:06] ahh [05:06] allow [05:07] I am using a custom theme, but it says "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine '' is not installed" - Can I find out what theme engine this requires? [05:07] qcjn: yes that looks right -- Mine is a full install though [05:07] hum, how you did that, took a partition just for puppy ? [05:08] qcjn: yes -- but I forgot that on my other system puppy runs in a directory-- [05:09] redvamp128: how come you've got 2 times root [05:09] can someone confirm this is a bug in 8.10 when mounting NFS shares ?? I get the following mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'rpcbind' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered [05:09] chu_, in the gtkrc file for the theme, look for the engine declaration [05:10] qcjn: let me pastebin it so you can see how it looks without the multiple lines [05:10] ok [05:10] <_2> qcjn grub accepts a root path "(hd0,0)" and the kernel accepts a root path "root=/dev/root" [05:10] qcjn: general pastebin - puppy - post number 1336822 [05:10] I keep losing consoles any way tot recover them?

[05:11] ok [05:11] After I log out they won't reset they jsut go to blinking cursor [05:11] qcjn: though I think when 4.1.3 comes out will install that one inside a folder on that partiion. [05:12] Its not showing anyone on the tty if I use the who command [05:12] hi everyone, how can I dim my screen? (sony laptop vgn-fj270) [05:12] nickrud - where do I find this file? ~/.themes//{gtk : gtk-2.0 : metacity-1} ? [05:12] <_2> histo init is supposed to respawn them, but if they respown too quickly they will be disabled for x=minutes >>> init 3 # should reset them [05:12] fengshaun: should be a function key then another key (should be controlled by laptop bios) and not really ubuntu. [05:12] chu_, it would be gkt-2.0/gtkrc [05:13] redvamp128: the func key doesn't work! [05:13] chu_, erm, gtk-2.0/gtkrc obviously [05:13] <_2> histo or should i say changing runlevels should reset them. [05:13] thanks nickrud [05:13] (it's software controlled I think) [05:13] Yep, found it :) [05:13] fengshaun: hold it down then look for a key that looks like a sun then beside that one should be the dim (you have to hold both down at the same time) [05:13] engine "pixmap"? [05:14] chu_, that's an engine,yes. the most commonly used one [05:14] redvamp128: hahaha that was noob language, but it doesn't work [05:14] chu_, why your custom theme isn't finding it is another question [05:14] <_2> histo i think the default is five respawns in 30 seconds. but not sure. anyway, check the /var/log/messages for what might be causing it. [05:14] fengshaun: what is the video card generally they have a setting for gamma which would do the same there [05:14] there's two [05:14] whoops [05:15] there's two #module_paths [05:15] redvamp128: it's intel [05:15] what is in server vs desktop? what is the criteria for choosing ? [05:15] _2: if I init a different run level how do I get back just sudo init 2 the init 5 or something? [05:15] thanks, but i don't understand enough.. to play right now in grub..the line root, tells where is the root, Right ? [05:15] and what is "studio"? [05:16] <_2> histo by default runlevels 2 through 5 are exactly alike [05:16] _2: well how do I switch to get this fixed? [05:16] <_2> sudo init [2,3,4,5] [05:16] _2: nothing in /var/log/messages that seems relevant by the way [05:16] _2: is there a command to see the current runlevel [05:17] <_2> histo if it's active syslog might also be relevant [05:17] Hey! I use netatalk for AppleShare volumes *every day* and I just ran the updater for Ubuntu and now it *broke*!! this is bad.. I have done everything called for, including setting some magic line somewhere telling the updater not to mess with it.. Where can I go to find out how to remedy this.. :-( [05:17] <_2> histo runlevel [05:17] <_2> :) [05:17] * _2 watches histo slap his forehead [05:18] read an article stating desktop was easier to set up as a noob [05:18] * histo ouch [05:18] _2: ty that seems to have done the trick [05:18] fengshaun: I am still looking be patient-- but I think Gamma is the settings generally that you can do it with software by moving the slider. [05:18] <_2> you are selcome [05:18] <_2> welcome maybe [05:19] redvamp128: where can I find that setting? [05:19] tritium, it seems that after a reboot, I need to run "nvidia-xconfig" and then restart X.. I think it might have to do something with "configured video device" vs "device" section under xorg.conf -- What do you think? [05:19] <_2> never tryst commandw fron soneome that cant' tpye [05:19] I couldn't find it in the menues. [05:19] and then restart X, for the driver to work again*. [05:19] ffuuuu about http://pastebin.com/m52b0f7e8 [05:19] bad concert [05:20] raz_-: I've never seen such a thing happen. No, that shouldn't be the problem. [05:20] <_2> histo you still need to find and fix that issue. just changing runlevels wont keep it from reoccuring [05:20] hi, i have errors on one of my ntfs drives, how can i scan it for errors?! === [pErry] is now known as [perry] [05:22] <_2> vbrun40000000.dll [05:22] #mpc [05:22] fengshaun: I have my onboard disabled-- but I did find gamma in the xorg file but I would back that one up before modifying - The default appears to be 1.0 but more than likely to get it dim would be 0.9 or 0.8 [05:22] if i change grub, with what i,ve posted, is there a risk that i can't get back to ubuntu, if it's wrong ?? [05:22] can anyone help perhaps? [05:22] redvamp128: ok, I will see what I can do. Thanks for your help =) [05:22] fengshaun: that file is located /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:22] qcjn: you can always get back with a rescue cd [05:22] shoooot [05:23] fengshaun: make a backup copy of it first before messing with it [05:23] <_2> qcjn if you know anything about editing grub or using the grub prompt. then "NO" if you don't then yes. [05:23] anyone? [05:23] redvamp128: yup, definitely! [05:23] redvamp128: thanks! [05:23] fengshaun: that and it needs to be edited with sudo [05:23] fengshaun: default gamma is 1.0 so go down no more than .5 [05:23] _2: I think it had to do with updates that have been installed the system probably needs rebooted [05:24] <_2> qcjn what i'm saying is, if you know how to edit grub you can always change things at boot time as needed, and if you know how to use the grub prompt then you don't even need a menu.lst to boo. [05:24] <_2> boot [05:24] redvamp128: ok! =) [05:24] hi how do I restart x [05:24] <_2> histo needing rebooted, "unless your libc6 has changed" should never cause that. [05:25] yo yo yos Im in the terminal right now how do I restart x [05:25] :/ [05:25] <_2> paradigm|shift sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart [05:25] YEA! === _G-Blunted is now known as G-Bleezy [05:26] _2 no don't really know anything about grub. I've played a bit in in to diminish the list of upgrade, and to stop it so i choose instead of startinf default after 10 second, but thats all [05:26] uurrrgh [05:27] hi [05:27] <_2> qcjn you can play with the grub shell while in the safty of the linux system to learn about it. in a terminal type "grub" and then enter help [05:27] ok [05:28] I cant trust minor updates ??! I thought linux was past this [05:29] darkblue_B: probably need to be a bit more specific [05:29] darkblue_B: what are you talking about? [05:29] Hey! I use netatalk for AppleShare volumes *every day* and I just ran the updater for Ubuntu and now it *broke*!! this is bad.. I have done everything called for, including setting some magic line somewhere telling the updater not to mess with it.. Where can I go to find out how to remedy this.. :-( [05:29] * cowbud nods to histo [05:29] does anyone know of a program that will backup an exact copy of my current system in the package manager [05:29] <_2> qcjn by learning how to manually enter the root (hd0,1) ; kernel /boot/vmlinuz[tab] root=/dev/sda2 ; initrd /boot/init[tab] <<<< stuff you can make sure that if you get to the grub prompt you can always get linux up and running. [05:29] http://pastebin.com/m7f2f85c6 i dont know what to do with the 2 highlighted lines [05:29] szrhawaii: youc an export a package list [05:30] histo what about files and settings as well [05:30] omper source ok [05:30] szrhawaii: dpkg --get-selections > installed-software [05:30] szrhawaii: well files and settings are saved in your users ~ [05:30] lemery open source [05:30] <_2> while it's not top priority, i do feel that everyone should learn at least the basics of their boot loader. [05:30] _2: grub help, doesn't really help me, :( [05:31] szrhawaii: your best bet is to go with a seperate /home thats what I do. That way if yous witch distros or reinstall what have you. You still have your docs etc... [05:31] anyway i ll look for in google [05:31] !seperatehome | szrhawaii [05:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about seperatehome [05:31] <_2> qcjn add to it. help root help kernel [05:31] ok [05:31] !home | szrhawaii [05:31] szrhawaii: 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 [05:31] ok [05:31] I know how to make seperate homes [05:31] szrhawaii: well youc an use dd and back up the home [05:31] hi [05:32] dd [05:32] <_2> qcjn and i gave a short tutorial already. root (hd0,1) \n kernel /boot/vmlinuz[tab] root=/dev/sda2 \n initrd /boot/init[tab] <<< where [tab] means hit the tab key... [05:33] cowbud: I had the naive intention of working tonight [05:33] <_2> basicly that's about all you need to boot linux. [05:33] i keep hearing about that but im looking for a specific program that actually makes a cd of a snapshot or image of my current systems state onto a cd so if I ever crash it will go right to where i left it like nothing ever changed almost like ghosting [05:33] nite :) [05:33] you ever hear of a application or program like that for linux [05:33] darkblue_B: if you are trying to interact between mac and linux just use samba both support it well [05:33] szrhawaii: ahh gotcha hold up I know I had one I was looking at before. [05:33] groooaannnn [05:34] szrhawaii: I did find this Howto: Backup and restore your system! - Ubuntu Forums [05:34] ill check it out === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:35] darkblue_B: multiple options are sad aren't they btw what release are you running? [05:35] szrhawaii: partiion image on the install cd would work [05:35] szrhawaii: here this cd has it as well. http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [05:36] quick question: does anyone know how to keep gnome from combining apps into one button on the panel (taskbar) at the bottom of the screen? [05:36] szrhawaii: or you can install partimage froma add/remove [05:36] ok [05:36] _2: excuse me, but i don't understand !! [05:36] cowbud: I can supply any info you or nayone might find useful [05:37] darkblue_B: the question was pretty direct.. [05:37] _2: you're saying, that these lines are all i need [05:37] _2: or about ! [05:37] <_2> qcjn in the grub prompt. yes. [05:37] i have a dual core processor... should i be using the 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu [05:37] _2: what's a grub prompt ? [05:37] <_2> qcjn oh. of course the last line is always "boot" [05:37] would it be a conflict if i found 3 different versions of linux-restricted-modules installed on my system? [05:38] krister: multiple windows from one app being combined, you mean? right-click the grab bar on the left side, click Preferences, click Never Group Windows. [05:38] c0rrupt0r: shouldn't be. you can have more than one kernel, or the respective modules, installed at once [05:38] Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 cowbud.. if I could tell you which pkgs were just updates I would but I dont know hwo to get that list [05:38] when i start my computer i don't see a grub prompt [05:39] rww: ty [05:39] <_2> qcjn that's where terminal command "grub" takes you. it's also where escape c at the boot menu will take you. === _G-Bleezy is now known as G-Bleezy [05:39] rww: thank you! that is what i was looking for...ive tried right clicking all over the place but didnt realize that little portion of panel was an option [05:39] darkblue_B: cd /var/cache/apt/archives; ls -lart [05:39] <_2> it is c isn't it ??? [05:39] TruthTaco: depends on which exact processor you have, since only some support 64-bit. Generally, though, if you don't know which to use, use 32-bit (since 64-bit processors can run it too) [05:39] I get a much better framerate for Compiz in KDE than I do in Gnome. Anyone know how I can increase my performance? [05:39] hi there [05:40] Can the telnet program do tn3270? Is that what the -S option is for? [05:40] using apt-get command how can I check whether a certain package is installed or not ? [05:40] <_2> silv3r_m001 no. [05:40] _2: what ? [05:40] silv3r_m001: apt-cache search will do it. Or do you specifically need to use apt-get? [05:40] <_2> silv3r_m001 use dpkg [05:40] darkblue_B: and you always have /var/log/dpkg.log [05:40] rww, well lets assume that my processor does support 64 bit... will things run faster in 64bit? [05:41] _2: how to use dpkg ? [05:41] ( i dont know if i does but i suppose i can check) [05:41] _2: i didn't know that..i just tried grub in terminal and it work, and what you say is when my computer start, if i make escape + c , it will bring me there [05:41] <_2> silv3r_m001 dpkg -L package-name [05:41] rww: I cant find this package called glib in synaptic package manager [05:41] !info glib [05:41] <_2> silv3r_m001 or lower case -l [05:41] Package glib does not exist in intrepid [05:41] silv3r_m001: glib isn't a package name [05:41] _2: how can I use a wildcard ? [05:42] silv3r_m001: look for libglib* [05:42] _2: in the terminal, grub [05:42] http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2233878.ece [05:42] rww: then ... I am trying to installed epiphany browser from source and it needs a higher version of glib than the one on my system [05:42] <_2> silv3r_m001 dpkg -l libc* [05:42] TruthTaco: depends on what sort of things you do on your computer. some forms of math and scientific computing work faster; video editing might too. Other than that, probably not. 64-bit also (allegedly) has compatibility problems sometime (with flash, java, or hardware), but I haven't had that problem [05:42] cowbud: http://dpaste.com/120428/ [05:42] lstarnes: hmm let me check [05:42] the last remove/install of netatalk I just did now.. [05:42] this is my first time come here [05:42] ah thanks, thats what i needed to know [05:43] <_2> qcjn yes. and at boot time. [esc] c for grub prompt which you have been looking at in the terminal. [05:43] I probably blew away those special flags I set but I was going to try because it seems really broken.. :-( [05:43] silv3r_m001: specifically which version? [05:43] <_2> qcjn i'll stop before i confuse you even more. [05:43] _2: btw whats the difference between apt-get and dpkg ? [05:43] time to having lunch [05:43] _2: ok [05:43] how to disable compiz [05:43] rww: it needs 2.16.0 [05:43] and my system has 2.0 [05:43] AppleShare services make me happy to use Linux.. not having them makes me un-happy [05:44] silv3r_m001: apt can use online package databases and download packages from the internet but dpkg only works with packages that have already been downloaded or are in the local database [05:44] Samba -> land of Mordor [05:44] <_2> silv3r_m001 apt-get fetches from the web and gets dependancise too dpkg installs/removes/lists local package-name apt is a frontend to dpkg [05:44] wierd every since i updated my firefox when i open it it goes somewhat fullscreen any thoughts? [05:45] rww: how to disable compiz? [05:45] silv3r_m001: what is the output of aptitude shjow libglib2.0-0 | grep Version? [05:45] rww: in synaptic the installed version of libglib is 2.16 but the epiphany ./configure says that its 2.0 which is less than 2.16 [05:45] ociugi: In GNOME? System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects > None [05:46] <_2> preston my thought would be, "use a real browser" but you don't want to hear that... [05:46] _2: thanks [05:46] silv3r_m001: make sure you also have libglib2.0-dev installed [05:46] <_2> qcjn welcome [05:46] lstarnes: hmm let me install that [05:46] is there a way to find out what the last updates where made on a system? [05:46] tnx [05:46] lstarnes: its already installed [05:46] one more question.... should i install the latest or 8.04.2 [05:46] (ubuntu) [05:47] is there that big a difference between them? [05:47] <_2> TruthTaco depends on your needs [05:47] <_2> TruthTaco yes. one is "LTS" the other is "latest" [05:47] TruthTaco: 8.04.2 is LTS, 8.10 will be obsolete in 2 months [05:47] TruthTaco: 8.10 is supported for 18 months. 8.04 is supported for 3 years (it's a long term release). [05:47] _2, What is a real browser? [05:47] anyone able to help-how can i scan an NTFS drive for errors?? [05:47] !LTS [05:47] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [05:48] ah [05:48] also if you want to use KDE, be aware that 8.10 will install kde 4.1.x and you cant use KDE 3.5 (which is the nice stable version) [05:48] thanks [05:48] <_2> excalibas konqueror [05:48] personally id go for 8.04, fewer problems in general [05:48] yea i think i will go with 8.04 [05:48] is there a way to find out what the last updates where made on a system? [05:49] carpii: except with netatlk and minor updates :-( [05:49] anyway to install suse11.1 from an ubuntu install w/o a cd? [05:49] lstarnes: the epiphany ./configure says No package 'libgnome-2.0' found but libgnome is installed as I can see it in synaptic [05:49] c0rrupt0r: you could try looking in /var/log/, especially /var/log/apt/term.log [05:49] <_2> c0rrupt0r look in the dpkg.log [05:49] rdvonz: Ask in #suse [05:50] ever since it had updated it has been using resources like crazy [05:50] markk^: with the ntfsprogs package (ntfsfix), but it may not get all 100% errors fixed [05:50] rww: i'm using ubuntu atm. The linux version I'm going to install is irrelevant. [05:50] markk^: you may yield better results if you use the ntfs-3g driver [05:50] <_2> rdvonz quite the contrarry [05:50] rdvonz: on the same system or a different one? [05:50] rww: the epiphany ./configure says No package 'libgnome-2.0' found but libgnome is installed as I can see it in synaptic [05:51] rdvonz: You're trying to install SuSE. You need to ask the SuSE people how to do that. We don't provide support for SuSE installation. [05:51] Gnea: same system [05:51] <_2> rdvonz the target install is the only really relavent [05:51] rdvonz: then you should ask in #suse [05:51] You. Don't. Understand. [05:51] .. just tar'd up all my work and copying it my Mac, so I can get something done [05:51] rdvonz: please explain then [05:51] thanks Gnea , i appreciate it [05:51] Under Kubuntu, is it possible to make Firefox run with GTK widgets instead of Qt widgets? [05:51] <_2> rdvonz no. you don't understand. [05:51] _2: let's hear him out... [05:52] how can I install a new linux dist without using a cd or any other physical media. [05:52] Say, ubuntu >.> [05:52] err [05:52] put it in a virtual machine [05:52] yeah [05:52] rdvonz: virtualbox or vmware would work, you could run both concurrently [05:52] rdvonz: For Ubuntu, you'd either VM it or use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [05:52] you can do it with windows. making a new grub profile or something. [05:52] i already installed the w32codecs but the problem is still exist it play the video with sounds but no images. [05:52] I do a lot of netboot installs [05:52] or perhaps wubi (if you can install from iso)? [05:52] hey guys...i have just installed ubuntu on my laptop after vista..but sound is very bad...what i do? [05:53] <_2> rdvonz that question can only be answered by the people that suppor the install methoods of the target. not by the people that support the platform you start from. [05:53] rdvonz: or as rww suggests - forgot about that one [05:53] hello [05:53] rww: i already installed the w32codecs but the problem is still exist it play the video with sounds but no images. [05:53] how can I disable the compiz fps limiter? sync to VBlank and increasing the refresh rate does not work. However when I do the benchmark tool and disable frame limiter, my performance increases literally 10 fold. Anyone? [05:53] ociugi: what type of video? [05:53] thanks [05:53] any type [05:53] rdvonz: good luck [05:53] histo: any type [05:53] ociugi: Please direct your questions to the channel unless you're replying to someone who's helping you with your problem. [05:53] Can someone point me to a guide for making a ubuntu liveUSB? I can't find it in the FAQ [05:53] !codecs | ociugi [05:53] ociugi: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:53] !usb | Newbuntu2 [05:53] Newbuntu2: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:54] !usb | Newbuntu2 [05:54] thanks! [05:54] hey guys...i have just installed ubuntu on my laptop after vista..but sound is very bad...what i do?..any codec for sound [05:54] hi there [05:54] oops [05:54] <_2> rdvonz i personally don't mind supporting any distro. (and should probably be in ##linux) but what you are askind is a suse question, not at all a ubuntu question. [05:54] SBBG: what doyou mean by sound is very bad? [05:54] _2: we've already settled it [05:54] SBBG: whoever's going to help you will need specific details [05:54] Brack10: You may want to ask in #compiz-fusion if you don't get an answer here. [05:54] CRAP [05:54] rww: thanks [05:55] rww: i understand [05:55] a package was already installed from synaptic and I upgraded it compiling the source downloaded from the site.. now what happens to the one installed from synaptic ..is it overwritten ? [05:55] gparted still show an exclamation mark next to /dev/sda2:((( [05:55] <_2> Gnea is that a "shut up" or what ? [05:55] markk^: what did you do? [05:55] _2: pretty much :) [05:55] silv3r_m001: probably, yeah. Do you need instructions for reinstalling the Ubuntu package? [05:55] <_2> Gnea ok. [05:55] well originally went to resize sda2, but it failed saying that i had not shutdown windows properly (xp / ubuntu dial boot) [05:55] ... [05:55] but i cant get back into XP BOOT_MGR NOT FOUND [05:56] so i wanted to fix the ntfs partition and install ubuntu to the hdd, and worry about xp later [05:56] markk^: were you trying to make sda2 bigger or smaller? [05:56] histo: when i start playing video..video quality is fine but for sound first 5-6 seconds is fine but after that its like disturbance [05:56] smaller [05:56] rww: but will synaptic now be able to track the new version files ... since it still shows the old version [05:56] ok i found out it there was a ppa repository added, and then it updated to linux-restricted-modules-common_2.6.27-12.17..now i go to synaptic's to remove that and its asking to remove all of them at once..what shall i do to get back to the older version i had? [05:57] silv3r_m001: If you install or compile stuff manually, Synaptic and apt-get can't track it, no [05:57] isn't there a specific date? [05:57] Is it possible to make firefox use gnome widgets under KDE? [05:57] markk^: resizing ntfs can be tricky - anytime that it gets errors like that, it should really be fixed using real windows tools before doing the actual resize.. [05:57] rww: hmm....can it create any kind of issue or problem later ? [05:57] SBBG: what like static? [05:58] !sound > SBBG [05:58] SBBG, please see my private message [05:58] Gnea, i cant get into windows buddy [05:58] it's a netbook, so no cd/dvd drive [05:58] ive got a dvd enclosure coming so i can chuck an old dvdr in it, to make things like installing an os easier;) [05:58] but i cant get to windows to fix the problems atm [05:59] markk: is there actually a problem with that partition, or did you just not do a clean shutdown from windows? [05:59] markk^: hmmm.. do you have a second system? [05:59] did not do a clean shutdown sir [05:59] yea [05:59] rww: and if I need to revert back to the ubuntu installed how do I do that ? [05:59] ubuntu machine im on atm [05:59] silv3r_m001: Sometimes, yes. If Ubuntu issues an updated version of the package, Synaptic/APT will try to update your computer with it, and you might end up with detritus from the compile-from-source. With libraries, though, you probably won't have an issue. [05:59] and a laptop running ubuntu/gentoo [05:59] :| [05:59] markk^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:59] histo, yes alsa mixer selected..but sound is choppy [05:59] markk^: What are you trying to do fix a ntfs drive? [05:59] silv3r_m001: sudo apt-get remove --purge && sudo apt-get install [05:59] histo, yea:) [06:00] SBBG: check the message from ubottu with some tips for your sound issue [06:00] there was a ppa repository added, and then it updated to linux-restricted-modules-common_2.6.27-12.17..now i go to synaptic's to remove that and its asking to remove all of them at once..what shall i do to get back to the older version i had? [06:00] rww: also how can I uninstall a software which was installed using the ./configure make and make installed process ? === _luis_lopez_ is now known as luis_lopez [06:00] markk^: you need the fixmbr program of a windows cd. or you can use grub boot loader to boot the windows partition for the time being. [06:00] could someone help me recover my package manager please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/117925/ [06:00] silv3r_m001: You'd need to ask the software's maintainers about that. The process tends to be different for different software. [06:00] markk^: do you have thumb drive? [06:00] rww: means no standard uninstall technique ? [06:00] histo, yea im booted up into ubuntu on it atm - that's how i was booting ubuntu (as nc10 has no dvd drive) [06:01] silv3r_m001: look at the install log, try to figure out what files were installed and remove each. should take an hour or two [06:01] silv3r_m001: correct. It's one of the reasons we don't recommend installing programs manually [06:01] then i planned to install to the hdd, but in the meantime, the xp went wrong! [06:01] rww: and thats why synaptic is used..... [06:01] nsadmin: removing all files is enough ... [06:01] markk^: what went wrong with the xp boot loader error or seomthing? [06:01] silv3r_m001: correct, because the package system makes it easy to uninstall stuff. [06:02] or maybe you're lucky and the makefile has an uninstall target... read the makefile and see [06:02] histo, after i attempted to resize the drive and it failed, rebooted and it just says BOOT MGR NOT FOUND, when I boot off the first drive :( [06:02] markk^: As far as I know, Linux's NTFS tools don't have a filesystem checker. The consensus is that if you're using NTFS, which is a closed, proprietary system owned by Microsoft, you should be using Microsoft's tools to make sure it's working. [06:02] !backup [06:02] 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 [06:02] !factoid [06:02] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:03] markk^: on a windows cd there is a utility called fixmbr that will rewrite the mbr of the drive so that it will hit the boot.ini [06:03] !botabuse > WebcamWonder [06:03] WebcamWonder, please see my private message [06:03] org [06:03] histo: Yeah, I know. I forgot :) [06:03] <_shadow_> best way I heard of backing up ur system is to just tar most of whats in / and then untar them on a fresh install [06:03] markk^: the other option is that you install grub ont he drive and point it at the windowspartition [06:04] still, that message (about making backups) could be public service [06:04] markk^: to see if that will help. Then you can boot windows defrag shutdown and resize. [06:04] i think the second grub option would be better, as i have no cd drive atm [06:04] rww: now what is this... I have gnome desktop and in synaptic the gnome-desktop-environment package is not installed ? [06:04] im thinking i could do that, im in ubuntu atm, I can setup grub from the terminal iirc? [06:04] my FF beeps when i scoll with page+down and hit the bottom. can I silent it? [06:04] Does anyone remember what is the way to generate the list of currently installed softwares, so that I can install them later if I choose so? [06:04] I've bricked apt [06:05] silv3r_m001: the gnome-desktop-enviroment is a metapackage that depends on gnome's various desktop package. Ubuntu generally installs the ubuntu-desktop package instead, which leaves out some GNOME tools (like Liferea, I think) and installs Ubuntu customizations. [06:05] Routing for multiple uplinks / providers.... My question is here.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/routing-for-multiple-uplinks-providers-703789/ [06:05] I tried to install a brother printer but there was an error during the install. Now I can't install or uninstall anything. could somebody please help me get rid of this brother printer driver [06:05] i can't install/remove apps because i have unmet dependencies that i can't fix without removing or install apps that [06:05] WebcamWonder: I think the factoid for it was !clone, but if I remember correctly, the commands in it don't work right. [06:05] data on the disk in ubuntu? [06:05] how would i go back from a newer linux-restricted-modules-common to my last one i had? [06:05] histo, can i do the grub option from the current session (live session off the usb boot disk) [06:05] thechris: perhaps you have a mixed system? [06:05] markk^: can you see data on the disk in ubuntu? [06:06] <_shadow_> use sudo apt-get update [06:06] on the boot disk? besides the startup disks, nothing [06:06] oh the ntfs, yes [06:06] WebcamWonder: I guess you could try them and see. If they don't give you an error, you should be okay. [06:06] nsadmin: explain more [06:06] I downloaded a theme engine, but I can't seem to install it? [06:06] markk^: k well the data is safe yeah you should be able to install grub from the live session. [06:06] !grub | markk^ [06:06] markk^: 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 [06:06] multiple versions of ubuntu won't work together well [06:06] rww: Yeah, found them. Lets see if they work or not. Thans [06:06] nsadmin: no, thats actually the only solution i've found to installing kde4.2 [06:06] markk^: ahh you have no grub boot disk. [06:06] i have a question, probably obvious, /dev/sda2 has windows, is that where i install grub to then? [06:07] so you do have a mixed system [06:07] rww: Yup, doesn't work anymore. Invalid regex [06:07] nsadmin: no. but if i did, it wouldn't have this specific issue [06:07] is kde 4.2 available in the version of ubuntu you have installed? [06:07] WebcamWonder: on which command? The first or the second? [06:08] nsadmin: basically, i installed kde4.2 from ubuntu 8.10. which is horrible on the menus. so i tried 4.2 from kubuntu. which fails and bricks kde [06:08] i stucked with the installation of network simulator at the last stage can anyone help [06:08] is there a better channel for asking package manager specific question? [06:08] rww: The first command, but I found a native solution. dpkg --get-selections, achieves exactly the same thing, without parsing [06:08] bpcomp: not really, no [06:08] nsadmin: I've follow, as best I can, the instructions on kubuntu.com. but the details are sketchy [06:08] how would i go back from a newer linux-restricted-modules to an older version? [06:08] nsadmin: eg, I have no idea what plasmoids, if any, are installed by default [06:08] probably you're going to have to uninstall all the kde things and try to install stuff again [06:09] rww: could you take a loo at this then please http://paste.ubuntu.com/117925/ [06:09] nsadmin: i cant uninstall anything [06:09] Hello I' wana know to my x-chat can read .wav sound, and sorry for my bad English ? [06:09] nsadmin: actually, what command would you suggest for uninstall? [06:09] thechris: yes you can... get familiar with dpkg: dpkg --help to start with [06:10] bpcomp: It's complaining that /etc/init.d/lpd doesn't exist. You could try issuing the following command: sudo touch /etc/init.d/lpd [06:10] markk^: you could also make a super grub boot disk on the usb drive [06:10] WebcamWonder: Awesome :) [06:10] rww: If you have the admin priv., you might want to update it :) [06:10] rww: I manually checked the folder and lpd doesn't exist [06:10] 00:05.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2600 802.11 MIMO having terrible time getting this2work any help??? [06:10] il have to read up on it, not sure how to do that histo , as the usb drive is also a startup disk? [06:10] bpcomp: I know, hence it complaining. The touch command creates a new, empty file with the name specified. [06:10] markk^: ahh well try following the directions from ubottu [06:11] Are there alternate language irc channels? I've got a french speaker asking for help in the kubuntu channel [06:11] !fr | matt2154 [06:11] matt2154: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [06:11] i stucked with the installation of network simulator at the last stage can anyone help [06:11] hello [06:11] matt2154: direct them to #ubuntu-fr or issue the !fr factoid [06:11] ubottu: merci [06:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about merci [06:11] rww: ah, I did not know that, thanks. [06:11] WebcamWonder: I don't. There are factoid submission instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots#Using%20Ubottu [06:12] the day dpkg can't be used to uninstall packages (and to install them) is the day ubuntu breaks its status as "based on debian" [06:12] www styleleathergarmenets.com [06:12] nsadmin: hmm, that might help. any suggestions on how to manually resolve such dependency issus [06:12] markk^: your problem is that linux isn't installed thought at least from what I understand. [06:12] yea [06:12] that's correct [06:12] thechris: first step: find out what they are [06:12] how would i go back from a newer linux-restricted-modules-common to an older version? [06:12] ali2: don't do that here [06:12] How do I install a gtk+ theme? I have the file downloaded.... [06:12] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117926/ [06:12] rww: Ahh, cool. I will see if I can do that once I am finished getting Intrepid installed :) [06:13] nsadmin: so, it seems ksysguard relies on libplasma3, which cannot be installed with kde4.2 [06:13] rww: what permissions should I give it? [06:13] nsadmin: but i'm not sure I'm parsing the errors correctly [06:14] 00:05.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2600 802.11 MIMO Help please [06:14] nsadmin: eg, it says ksysgaurd has unmet dependencies -- depends libplasma3 but it's not going to be installed [06:14] hmmm guess no answer lol [06:14] try dpkg --purge ksysgaurd [06:14] markk^: the only way I see of fixing this then is adding some utilities to your thumb drive. [06:14] markk^: this is also why ntfs sucks [06:15] hey guys my sound is very choppy..kindly help [06:15] histo: when i start playing video..video quality is fine but for sound first 5-6 seconds is fine but after that its like disturbance [06:15] bpcomp: huh, that's odd. Try chmod 777 /etc/init.d/lpd, then remember to delete the file when the uninstall is done: rm /etc/init.d/lpd [06:15] i could perhaps install ubuntu to a usb drive and edit menu.lst once i have ubuntu on [06:15] nsadmin: so, it says kubuntu-desktop depends on ksysguard, and it won't remove it [06:15] markk^: there is another way, although it's going to require some work on your part... have you ever setup a netboot? [06:15] !ubuntu-desktop | thechris [06:15] nope, i had been trying to get tftp boot working, but i kept getting E11 ARP TIMEOUT ! [06:15] thechris: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [06:16] thechris: add kubuntu-desktop to the command [06:16] network simulator help [06:16] and keep adding as it tells you more deps [06:16] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117928/ [06:16] hey guys...i have just installed ubuntu on my laptop after vista..but sound is very bad...what i do?..any codec for sound [06:16] nsadmin: hmm, that helped.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:16] During the installation, the installer would let me shrink my NTFS, so I can specify what size I want right?

So things are working now? Or do you still have problems?

[11:51] burkmat, wrong name... sry [11:51] Ryzzan, the exact setting would be root (hd0,4) in your case i beleive [11:51] is like variant 1...100 fisrt subject....then varinat 1....100 second subject.....variant 1...100 third subject [11:51] tavi: what is the number of the last variant? [11:51] gnomey, Ah, you need to partition it then first. :) `fdisk /dev/sdb` then press the keys `n p 1 ` - That should just make the entire stick a single partition.

Just information about the transfer. [12:32] Imaginativeone, Is the Ubuntu box running Samba? [12:32] Dear All, yesterday I ran the updates on my Ubuntu 8.1 and upon restart, the grub only had the memtest option by default.. After some effort, i decided to reinstall ubuntu 8.1. The reinstall went all fine, but then after updating the system, every thins is very slow. Even opening the terminal takes time. Do you think that it can be because of the new kernel that was installed, and is not... [12:32] ...compatible with my hardware? Please suggest.. Thanks. [12:33] burkmat, i just had a look at the statistics and it seems i have downloaded at least 800MB which is nothing near what it's showing what i've actually downloaded...but i cant seem to see any erros in the logs [12:33] danbhfive, still the same [12:33] marko_, Hmm... Are you sure you're the one who's been downloading? Running a WiFi network or maybe someone "borrowed" the computer? [12:33] burkmat: the ubuntu machine is running Samba version 3.2.3 [12:34] nabilmalik: I missed it [12:34] gnome won't accept the ogg file for system sound? [12:34] Imaginativeone: in nautilus right click a folder, if the correct packages installed there should be an option 'share', quick samba setup [12:34] rottenkid: I dunno, sorry [12:34] nabilmalik: what did u choose to install/update? [12:34] Imaginativeone, Well, I'm not too familiar with Samba, but did you try just Start -> Run -> \\IP_of_sambabox\ ? [12:35] danbhfive, thanks anyway [12:35] whooperdoo: thanks!! [12:35] BM8270: the normal update manager in ubuntu [12:35] Imaginativeone: what did you miss? [12:36] nabilmalik: i didn't know that ubuntu doesn't ask what to update..

[12:40] hello guys [12:40] hello [12:41] Ryzzan, I see what you mean, i actually have questions about it myself, was windows installed after ubuntu? [12:41] illumin8, yes... it was [12:41] whooperdoo: no luck [12:41] Ryzzan, windows installs to the mbr and if it cannot due to being on the back end partitions it could create boot.ini issues, basicly it would need to be installed on the first partiion. [12:42] nabilmalik: intruiging to know that a full update can mess up things... [12:42] I don't even get an authentication box [12:42] illumin8, and theres something about grub shell... when i use it, it simply doesn't recognize any disk === OSte is now known as OSte_pala [12:42] ok [12:42] hi, is it normal for ubuntu to assume that current BIOS clock time is in GMT? When i select GMT+5, ubuntu advances my clock by five hours... why?! [12:42] Imaginativeone: restart samba [12:42] Ryzzan, my recommendation would be to resintall windows to the first partion, then go about ubuntu afterwards, this allows grub to read the local files and create the proper menu for them automagicly [12:43] kickass [12:43] sorry [12:43] Ryzzan, in my experience with windows it tends to not play nice with linux unless it gets first pick. [12:43] can i roll back the updates? [12:43] illumin8, try it yourself... in terminal... try /grub... then... /root (hdaN,N) [12:43] jrib: [12:43] ? [12:43] can u help me? [12:44] whooperdoo: smbd restart? [12:44] tavi: I already said, I don't know how to do what you want to do.

I just so happen to have been looking into that stuff, but I find all the graphics annoying [13:07] arvind_khadri, could u try something for me? [13:07] arvind_khadri, the ideals i tried with him were to change rootnoverify to root, also tried to remove makeactive, and adjusted the chainloader +1 to chainloader (hd0,4)+1 none of them seemed to work [13:07] Ryzzan, sure... re-install grub... [13:07] illumin8, did you make him re-install grub? [13:07] arvind_khadri, thats when you stepped in :) [13:08] arvind_khadri, so no not yet.

[13:16] ryzzan_, ask :) [13:16] arvind_khadri, y when in grub shell, if i try /root (hd0,4), it doesnt recognizes it?

[13:54] hey there. I just installed xubuntu8.10 on my Acer Aspire One. Network (eth0) worked fine out of the box before I did all the updates. since I updated and rebooted I can connect to the network by using a fix IP address, but I can't even ping other computers on the network (let alone the router). /etc/network/interfaces is okay, ifconfig tells me eth0 is there and configured (with lots of dropped packets though). any idea? [13:54] letalis, when I have a wav file and I need to see all the rummbers in the wav, can I do that with amarok? [13:54] xukun: rummbers? [13:55] sammyF: sounds like no route. Test. Ping your router, ping another pc on the router, then ping your routers gateway. [13:55] sammyF, Why not use dhcp? [13:55] Jeruvy: only thing I can ping is myself. [13:55] * |amadeus| pokes less [13:55] sammyF, sorry I mean numbers or songs [13:55] sammyF: then you have no route, check your settings in /etc/network/interfaces and the router [13:56] im running recovery shell but everytime i try mounting /dev/hda2/ it gives it is not in fstab blah blah blah ok how do i force it to mount through recovery? [13:56] burkmat: nm tries to get a dynamic IP but gives up after some time [13:56] letalis, when I have a wav file and I need to see all the numbers or songs in the wav, can I do that with amarok?

[13:56] <[nrx]> love a good old netsplit [13:56] xukun: you mean the content of the file? use audacity for that [13:56] Pirate_Hunter: there's no need to force mount it; your mount command is just incomplete [13:57] Chousuke, hmmm what is missing? [13:57] Pirate_Hunter: just "mount /dev/hda2" is not enough [13:57] sammyF, Hmm... Are you sure everything is working properly on the router end then? Can you connect to anything? [13:57] Pirate_Hunter: (note that it's not /dev/hda2/ ) [13:57] burkmat, Jeruvy: router is fine (using it from another computer right now), [13:58] Pirate_Hunter: first you need to create a target directory to mount to, for example, /mnt/mydisk [13:58] burkmat: Jeruvy, and if I reboot the AA1 from the usb stick install, the network actually WORKS [13:58] Chousuke, huh if not what would it be sorry im lost i just want to move data from the partition so i can reformat the disk [13:58] burkmat: Jeruvy, it jsut went borked after I updated xubuntu tonight :/ [13:58] sammyF, yes I think that is what I mean, so I need to use audacity first and then amarok to import files? [13:58] Pirate_Hunter: then mount -t filesystemtype /dev/hda2 /mnt/mydisk [13:58] Pirate_Hunter: where filesystemtype is the type of the filesystem on the partition [13:58] xukun: depends on what you want to do with the file. If you want to edit it, yes [13:59] Pirate_Hunter: for example, ext3 or vfat [13:59] Chousuke, hmmm is it necessary to mention the filesystem on mount? will try still [13:59] Pirate_Hunter: sometimes it can be automounted [13:59] er [13:59] autodetected* [13:59] How can I avoid being asked for (user) password at each reboot for connecting to WPA WiFi? [14:00] sammyF: then the simple thing is to remove the borked update :) If not, you're going to need to troubleshoot it from scratch. your call. [14:00] Pirate_Hunter: the crucial thing though is to mention the device file and the target directory to mount to [14:00] <[nrx]> anyone running ubuntu on a mac? [14:00] hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 x64 on a dell studio desktop 540, but the installer will not recognize the cd-rom drive (SATA) so the install doesn't proceed (it asks me to load drivers from a floppy, which is kinda hard as 1) I don't have a floppy drive, and 2) I don't know where to get the drivers). Any help? [14:01] d_: try usb? [14:01] Jeruvy: seriously, I wonder if I shouldn't just reinstall it but with ~gnome~ ubuntu, and then just install xfce on top of it ;) [14:01] sammyF, I hard to explain but what I need is that say I have album which is wav file format so its one big file without the names of numbers but I need so to all the names of the songs in say amarok [14:01] !usb | d_ [14:01] d_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:01] d_: what chipset does it have? [14:01] How do I rerun the dpkg configuration script for ldap? or better yet, where can I find the script? [14:01] sammyF: sure, I've done that.

I have two AA1 here (sis in law said I should do hers too). Both have the problem.

I use Hardy. [14:43] Elive_user77_en: You'd need to provide a little more accurate description of what you're doing and what reports (if any) you see, "just sitting there" isn't very helpful technically :) [14:43] Elive_user77_en: I understand that. [14:43] im on elive rite now but ubuntu goes to the bar wile you wait then sits at middle [14:43] i added a network card to my pc and one my dvb-cards dissappeared from the lspci listing [14:43] nagyv: Sure, I should be able to help [14:43] Elive_user77_en: You start Ubuntu from the initial GRUB menu?

Well, that might be the only way that you can actually get the mic working.. [14:44] Flare183: then, be so kind please! :) For the moment, I have wine set for ALSA with winecfg, and the Test Sound works well. As well I can record my voice with the Gnome sound recorder.

[14:45] no probs [14:45] Elive_user77_en: If you boot to the recovery console you'll also see all the kernel boot messages that the usual Ubuntu splash screen hides from you.

[14:48] nagyv: You can upload it with this website: http://imagebin.ca [14:49] Jeruvy: The other option is to manually edit the regular Ubuntu boot option in the GRUB menu, changing the 'kernel' options to remove "quiet splash" and replacing with "debug" [14:49] jonasfa: here's the official link just in case http://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [14:49] Flare183: http://imagebin.ca/view/DRnieEcx.html [14:49] Sylphid: yup, irq conflict was what i thought of too ,and no dmesg has nothing sensible [14:49] its just plain gone [14:50] hm, that would need more shuffling, and shuffling to their old position [14:50] btQuark: Does it re-appear if you remove the network adapter?

However if I log out, my internal monitor (on laptop) is on while external is on. I would like to completely disable laptop monitor form running. [14:50] nagyv: Have you tried using the OSS driver? [14:50] IntuitiveNipple: I could try. but that would involve major working on a rack [14:50] btQuark: I once spent 2 days shuffling 5 cards around to find the permutation that worked without the sound-card stuttering :) [14:51] *shudder* [14:51] btQuark: Indeed, but after that, the machine lasted 4 years or more :) [14:51] Flare183: not yet. I've read that for that I have to kill pulseaudio. Is this true? [14:52] nagyv: hmmm I don't think so. But I'm not 100% sure either. [14:52] umm. how do i switch to LILO instead of GRUB. [14:52] i am unable to use XFS because of this [14:53] nagyv: I came in late, but I think your issue was no sound input on wine with pulseaudio?

[14:55] post at MyQsl.Org :) [14:55] phnom: That would be a good idea [14:55] xrandr [14:56] I just gave names [14:56] to identify monitors [14:56] with what I got from output of xrandr [14:56] !enter | pmilos [14:56] pmilos: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:56] IntuitiveNipple: Flare183: and does either of you know about an application where I could test my mic under wine? Something simple, like a basic sound recording program? [14:57] nagyv: I'm biased but I'd suggest the shareware version of GoldWave :) [14:57] hey that's ann good idea how i can compile [14:57] i need help installing a patch., I dont know how to do it :( [14:57] !compile | Like [14:57] Like: Compiling software from source?

[14:58] ubottu: I got the output from xrandr and then I just gave names to it so that monitors are recognized. There is an option in there where I disable the internal monitor which is "bar: [14:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:58] command not found [14:58] como conectar chat de terra en Xchat [14:58] Is there any way to do cd or equivalent in a launcher command? [14:59] ubottu: however internal monitor turns on at certain moments (like boot) or if I log out - then both monitors are on [14:59] Pilot_51: typically you just enter the path [14:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:59] xaxo, /join #ubuntu-es [14:59] !es | xaxo [14:59] xaxo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[15:02] hello to all [15:02] Elive_user77_en: OK, the 'busybox' is a limited shell that is launched when the kernel can't find the root device, usually because something has been changed on the disk.

[15:02] nsadmin: noticed that.. sorry Flare183 [15:02] anybody any luck with wol on ubuntu 8.10? [15:02] Hi. My WiFi adapter (rt2500) starts at 1Mb/sec after waking up from sleep or reboot. I run "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M" to speed it up. Tried adding that to rc.local, but it's still 1Mb when I start up. Where should I add that command in order for it to happen automatically on wake? [15:02] hi flasre183 [15:03] so what do i do to get on my ubuntu? [15:03] hi ubotto [15:03] scunizi: No problem [15:03] Elive_user77_en: Try reinstalling GRUB [15:03] fergal32: it's better if you talk about your luck with it, specific informative concise complete [15:03] If I'm outside the directory of the exe when I try launching it with full path, I get this: "Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/', starting in the Windows directory." [15:03] Elive_user77_en: It is possible the Elive installation has changed/over-written part of the Ubuntu installation [15:04] nsadmin: what specific information? like lan etc.? [15:04] ok um how do i straighten it out im not a pro like you guys lol [15:05] Elive_user77_en: The possibilities are almost endless - it's not something I'd want to try to sort out remotely. [15:05] Where should I add a command in order for it to happen automatically on wake? Should /etc/rc.local work? [15:05] great [15:05] Or, does that only run after a reboot? [15:05] fergal32: so far there was no information at all... adding some would be a good start [15:06] brb [15:06] information about... what you're trying to do, how you're doing it, what you're expecting, what's happening instead... [15:07] codazoda: try adding ethtool -s eth0 wol g to your rc.local === toga30 is now known as ToGa [15:07] but that didn't work 4 me :D [15:07] I have problem with totem in Hardy, and I think it's related to alsa(?). While playing music with totem, mouse clicks cause noise and buzz in the sound. Sound Card is C-Media CMI8738. [15:07] hello, ubuntu detects an unknown display besides my laptops , how do I remove the unknown display ? [15:08] in kubuntu kdm or gdm? [15:08] kdm [15:08] Elive_user77_en: ? [15:08] nsadmin: i'm running ubuntu 8.10 64bit, my network card is a RTL8111/8168B [15:09] tried adding ethtool -s eth0 wol g to my rc.local and enabled wol in my bios [15:09] huh [15:10] fergal32: I'm using wlan0, instead of eth0. Not sure if ethtool will work with wireless devices. I could certainly try that. [15:10] and i did /etc/init.d/hal changing NETDOWN=yes to no [15:10] but no scuccess so far [15:10] But, I know the command that works already. I just can't get it to work from /etc/rc.local for some reason. [15:10] IntuitiveNipple, ? [15:10] codazoda: hm, not sure since i don't use wireless ;-) [15:10] Elive_user77_en: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118059/ [15:11] I have problem with totem in Hardy, and I think it's related to alsa(?). While playing music with totem, mouse clicks cause noise and buzz in the sound. Sound Card is C-Media CMI8738. Anybody can help? [15:11] whats that? [15:11] mib_8i0ql8: not the best answer but install vlc or mplayer [15:11] I'm going to try adding "sleep 15" before my "iwconfig" line, see if it has to be connected first... [15:12] anyone has any idea why ubuntu 8.10 detects an extra "unknown" display ? [15:12] mib: or try using totem-xine which sometimes helps [15:13] mib_8i0ql8: Thanks, but I want to solve the problem. I thinks it's not related directly to Totem, but it's about configurations that Totem is using, and I want to make it work. === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [15:13] codazoda: and try this /etc/default/acpi-support in line STOP_SERVICES add networking to it [15:13] This is madness :). I've done it all, nothing seems to connect my bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard. I manange to connect it once using bluez-compat hidd tool, but after reboot even that didn't work no more. What to do? :) [15:14] mib_8i0ql8: Do you hear the same interference using other media players? [15:15] IntuitiveNipple: I tried audacious and it's OK, but I couldn't find anything usefull from it's configurations that I can use in totem. [15:16] mib_8i0ql8: Hmmm, is the C-Media chipset built onto the motherboard? [15:16] mib_8i0ql8: I've known several on-board sound chipsets that suffer various degrees of interference due to lack of adequate shielding. [15:16] does amaroK work on ubuntu? [15:16] Jufis: yes [15:16] without KDE? [15:17] yes [15:17] mib_8i0ql8: Although, your description sounds more like an issue with interrupts or PCI latency [15:17] IntuitiveNipple: I'm not sure, it's listed on lspci's output. [15:17] thank you scunizi :) [15:17] hi guys. how do i put my icons back on the top panel? [15:18] like wi fi signal,bluetooth,im,etc [15:18] hi [15:19] IntuitiveNipple: I think it's not related to shielding, cause it's ok in audacious, but if your second guess is right, then it's who's fault? Alsa? [15:19] commander: right klick on panel and choose add to panel [15:19] commander_: add "notification area" applet [15:19] mib_8i0ql8: No, that'd be a hardware issue, sometimes resolved by shuffling the PCI cards in the slots to change their order. [15:19] I have a problem with a TechnoTrend C1500 dvb card remote. The problem is that when I use the remote, it interacts with Gnome. If I push power button, it shows power menu, and I can navigate in the menu with it, however I don't want this !!! Anyone knows how I could disable that ? === karate is now known as andie [15:20] How do I launch something on wake from sleep? Will /etc/rc.local work? [15:20] thru terminal? [15:21] IntuitiveNipple: make sense when audacious has not this problem? [15:21] codazoda, no rc.local just gets ran at boot up. [15:21] commander_: You should be able to just right-click up there and go through "Add to Panel" [15:22] Dr_willis: Perfect, that's what I suspected. Is there another place I should put a command that needs to run on wake? [15:22] codazoda, proberly. but i dont know of it off hand. I recall some similer things with hdparm in some docs/wiki pages i read ages ago. [15:22] hi [15:23] att [15:23] mib_8i0ql8: No, it doesn't... the other possibility is the media player is using up all the CPU time (or memory) and is causing swap-file use or delays for other processes [15:23] is there a command to run the whole setup of language, locale, timezone etc. after the setup of a ubuntu machine again (preferably on the console) [15:23] problem with wine [15:24] scunizi, what packet should I install if I want to install amaroK? [15:24] wine closed inesperate bug about this graphic card how i can solve the program and close the daemon ? [15:24] IntuitiveNipple: Hmmm, let me see. [15:24] Jufis: are you using synaptic or add/remove? or terminal? [15:24] Jufis: just select amarok from synaptic, it will add the packets you need [15:24] SammyF thanks [15:25] any one can tell me the comand too close wine [15:25] ? [15:25] SammyF, but that way it installs some kde libraries, right? I dont want to install KDE [15:25] what abbout bluetooth [15:25] Is there a command line utility that checks how much RAM is available and how much is used? [15:25] Jufis: likek SammyF said.. it will pull in a lot of deps. [15:25] Like: you just close the program that wine is running [15:25] IntuitiveNipple: it's not :( [15:25] philipp_: man dpkg-reconfigure [15:25] icon.it's not on the list?! [15:26] hi i wanna know where or how can i download all apt packages at once to burn on dvd for later installation? [15:26] Nickyy2: top shows it [15:26] is a recurrent bug kitche [15:26] scunizi, but it won't install KDE, right? [15:26] Nickyy2, try free [15:26] Jufis: no. just the dependancies needed for amorak [15:26] thanks philipp_, nivalis [15:26] Like: so kill wine-server next time ask how to kill wine not how to close it [15:26] scunizi, okay, thanks [15:27] zacken_: thanks, but i need the package names too :-( i already found "locale" and "tzdata".... [15:27] everyonce in a while my mouse cursor will jump to random places on the screen in a split second [15:27] how do you fix that? [15:27] it's a USB mouse [15:27] hey carpii, are you there? [15:28] Uhg. I cannot figure out how to execute commands automatically on wakeup from sleep. Any ideas?

[15:31] I need to install Diablo 2 LOD. I have instaled the first Diablo 2 and now I need to instal LOD exp, but when I pop the cd in. Ubuntu doesn't see anything on the cd. I tried coping the whole cd to a folder within Windows (I'm at a lan party right now :p) and that doesn't work because it has copy right protection and says I need to input the cd. What should I do? [15:31] IntuitiveNipple: Thanks, but I have seen it, and no help. [15:32] anybody here who was able to create a USB install? [15:32] Hi.

[15:36] i just don't want something scary, like VI that takes 6 months to learn [15:36] notwist: then use emacs [15:36] ok thanks [15:36] notwist, you should be done in 5 :P [15:36] notwist: then stick with nano... Though if you run vimtutor, you should pick it fairly quickly... [15:36] or gedit :) [15:36] jamal: text based linux :P [15:36] I've downloaded and booted an 8.10 ubuntu i386 live cd. I'm on step 4 of the install. I can't work out how to resize (but not delete) the existing ntfs partition (which has been defragmented by the way). The version of gparted that comes with it is 0.3.8, can the 8.10 live cd even resize ntfs partitions?

[15:39] how about geany for a test editor for programming? [15:39] It's odd, some people apparently can resize ntfs partitions on various websites revealed by google, others can't. [15:39] SammyF: Sure you're the only host with that IP? [15:39] SammyF: Probably not set a default route? [15:39] why? [15:39] geany.org [15:39] SammyF, man ifconfig from terminal, and all of the info should be in there for ya. =) [15:39] Sammy why? [15:39] Marfi: it worked prior to installing the updates, stopped working afterward [15:39] RussM: yeah [15:39] IntuitiveNipple: how do I do that?

When I add the line, and run mount -a the drive is mounted for root, but as a non-root I cannot read, but cannot write to it. Any thoughts? [15:42] anyone have experience getting hd-dvd movies to work in ubuntu? i have read the restricted formats community page but still can't even see the files on the hd-dvd [15:42] SammyF: pinging yourself just means that your loopback interface is up. Can you reach remote systems any other way besides ping? [15:42] judgepg: maybe use chmod to change the rights for your user [15:42] judgepg, make a folder on the drive, chmod it so you can write to it [15:42] does eclipse work on ubuntu? [15:42] judgepg, i have to do that with mine [15:42] quizme, yes [15:42] notwist, I cannot chmod a mounted partition [15:42] judgepg: why? sudo?

[15:43] sigjuice: everything else is "host not reachable" (thus the static IP btw. can't reach teh router for DHCP) [15:43] SammyF: then you are not connected to your network at all. [15:43] is there a way to configure a static ip in interpid, using the gnome network manager that comes with the installation, instead of changing /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/network/interfaces , even though I fixed it here, I'd like to be able to do it through GUI in the future [15:44] Marfi, that will not work [15:44] sigjuice: actually I am [15:44] sigjuice: I rebooted from the USB stick, and I had a connection THERE [15:44] judgepg, unmount it, chmod the folder, then remount it [15:44] judgepg, them make a directory inside of it, chmod the directory, and write to that [15:44] Marfi, I did that, but when you mount the partition, it changes it [15:44] Noodels: have you googled the problem? [15:44] how do you install the JVM ? [15:44] how do i totally dismantal mousekeys? it keeps turning on randomly and i loathe having to waste my time to turn it off manually when it shouldnt ever activate in the first place (and NO, im NOT using the key combo, it does this usually when i've used vnc recently) [15:44] Marfi, I think the issue is in the fstab line of the mount [15:45] sigjuice: it looks like soemthing in the xubuntu update (clean install!) screwed up my network settings :/ === squiddy is now known as Guest18203 [15:45] Marfi, so if I was to umount the partition, it's chmodded to 777.

[15:46] sigjuice: and just for the fun of it, I tried putting a "ubuntu" (not xubuntu) usb install to reinstall everything and that crashed [15:46] SammyF: so you are running off your xubuntu install and you can't get on the network? [15:46] SammyF: Sorry, I got pulled away (it IS Valentine's Day, I thought it best to answer the call... :) ) [15:47] mååp [15:47] Marfi, I think I need to reboot, maybe that will help. Either there's an issue with the fstab line, or a reboot is required. If all else fails, I'll try pmount [15:47] sigjuice: no. I'm on my other comp right now. I installed xubuntu on an Acer Aspire ONe yesterday (thus the need for the USB install), worked perfectly, I did the updates tonight, this morning, after reboot, my wired network was gone [15:47] RussM: np :) [15:47] judgepg, sounds good [15:48] I get "Unhandled error, aborting" every time I try to burn a data dvd, regardless of the data or write speed.

[15:51] SammyF: Routes looked good, assuming your interfaces is eth0, and your router is 192.168.1.1. Looks like I have to run, sorry I can't be more help. Good luck! [15:51] SammyF: what does ifconfig say? [15:52] sigjuice: I'll try to copy that to pastebin .. might take a few mn as I have to type it in :/ [15:52] IntuitiveNipple: I tried Mplayer, when it's configured to use alsa in it's preferences, it has the same problem, and when it's using PulseAudio, it works fine. now I want to configure Totem to use PulseAudio. I tried form gstreamer-properties but it gives me error when I select PulseAudio beside Alsa. How can I do that?

[15:55] i'm unable to click on my desktop.. files are not going to be selected and launched.. it is like if the desktop is "freezed" ... what can i do to solve the problem? is there any way to solve the situation for exemple is it possible to "restart" the desktop functionality? :) [15:55] Sorry, it's /etc/pm.d/sleep.d [15:56] type lspci -v | less in a terminal [15:56] SammyF: Now do "ip route show" [15:56] how can i tell if i'm using KDE or GNOME ? I've got the cube thingy installed [15:56] Looking for something like /etc/pm/wake.d [15:56] I need to install Diablo 2 LOD. I have instaled the first Diablo 2 and now I need to instal LOD exp, but when I pop the cd in. Ubuntu doesn't see anything on the cd. I tried coping the whole cd to a folder within Windows (I'm at a lan party right now :p) and that doesn't work because it has copy right protection and says I need to input the cd. What should I do? [15:56] itll show everything on the pci bus, but usually itll say something about it being an audio controller or sound something blah blah blah :) [15:56] letalis it has listings for RAM, ISA, SMBus, and RAM again [15:57] pleeeeeeasee.. i'm unable to click on my desktop.. files are not going to be selected and launched.. it is like if the desktop is "freezed" ... what can i do to solve the problem? is there any way to solve the situation for exemple is it possible to "restart" the desktop functionality? [15:57] is it a laptop or desktop? [15:57] desktop [15:57] why wouldn't my network work on ubuntu when it does on windows (dual boot)? can't even reach LAN... :( [15:58] okay. first question is if the machine had windows on it before do you know whether or not it worked in windows? [15:58] the mic? [15:58] IntuitiveNipple: sigjuice! http://pastebin.com/m71599b55 [15:58] IntuitiveNipple: that was ip route show [15:58] I dual-boot and it works fine in Windows [15:58] letalis, yes it had wind before [15:58] is it an integrated mic? ie. not one you plug into it. === vizpal is now known as NoFace [15:59] it's a headphone/mic combo, plugs into mic and headphone jacks (not usb) [15:59] SammyF: Looks okay so far... now... how is the PC connected physically? a cat-5 cable to a router or switch? [15:59] okay. [15:59] i'm unable to click on my desktop.. files are not going to be selected and launched.. it is like if the desktop is "freezed" ... what can i do to solve the problem? is there any way to solve the situation for exemple is it possible to "restart" the desktop functionality? [15:59] letalis: now, it's an external mic [15:59] are you using gnome as your primary desktop? [15:59] I'm using xfce [16:00] harlemdavvey, yes u need to restart file manager [16:00] duh, ChickenGirl you too having some problem with the mic? [16:00] SammyF: Also, is the router IP address 192.168.1.1 ? [16:00] invisibleninja yes :p [16:00] if so what you will need to do is right click on the speaker icon on near the tray (assuming your desktop is still a default layout) [16:00] ottoshmidt: how can i do? [16:00] we seem to have the same problem [16:00] then click oen volume control [16:00] IntuitiveNipple: the router's address is 192.168.1.1, and the cable goes to a switch first [16:00] open rather [16:01] how do i totally dismantal mousekeys? it keeps turning on randomly and i loathe having to waste my time to turn it off manually when it shouldnt ever activate in the first place (and NO, im NOT using the key combo, it does this usually when i've used vnc recently) [16:01] I have the xfce volume applet thing and I've tried playing around with the settings but it's not working [16:01] hello all [16:01] by default, alsa mutes almost everything but the essentials === vizpal is now known as n0_face [16:01] harlemdavvey, compiz --replace [16:01] or rather the mic IS working, the system can record from it, but I can't figure out what I need to adjust to get it to a sensible/normal/non weird sounding volume level [16:01] yep [16:01] o m g [16:01] need to unmute the recording channels [16:02] if I have the keyring for a repository installed, why does apt-get tell me a package can't be authenticated? [16:02] :) [16:02] where the hell did my files go?????? [16:02] ChickenGirl: some people are suggesting the culprit is PulseAudio. http://www.econowics.com/news-from-the-net/170/skype-problem-with-audio-playback-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/ [16:02] which is what i was getting to [16:02] :) [16:02] is there commercial software for making networks? [16:02] I thought I'd ask some people's opinion before replacing PulseAudio [16:02] SammyF: Humour me... try swapping cables with one know to work, and also, try a different port on the switch [16:02] this free paradigm is for the birds [16:03] how do i mount a ISO file? [16:03] Imaginativeone: You can pay me to create you a network if you insist :D [16:03] name your price [16:03] hey i did a lot of about:config tweaks in firefox 3 in ubuntu on one of my hdd's i was wondering if there was a way that I could migrate those tweaks to another build of firefox on my other hdd? [16:03] IntuitiveNipple: already tried it. doesn't change anything sadly. As I said, booting from a USB install has the network running flawlessly :/ [16:03] once the mixer is open the lower right hand part of the window has a prefernces button. youll need to go in there, and check each one of the empty check boxes, then after that youll have a recording tab along with the playback one [16:03] hi everyone [16:04] hi [16:04] click the recording tab and unmute the mic. [16:04] how do i know my ip? [16:04] !welcome | el_ruso [16:04] el_ruso: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [16:04] it should record after that assuming everything is plugged up correctly. [16:04] SammyF: Then, start digging into the /var/log/kern.log. Start from the end and work backwards. I suspect there'll be some clues as to why the network isn't working... maybe a device issue [16:04] hey how edit /proc/acpi/event [16:04] el_ruso, try System -> Administration -> Network Tools [16:04] el_ruso, www.whatismyip.com [16:04] letalis the xfce sound mixer is different from the gnome one, it has volume bars for master, PCM, front, front mic, front mic boost, etc etc mic, mic boost, capture, capture,1, digital [16:04] sugi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountIso [16:05] I can't make sense of it [16:05] excuse guys my ip under router [16:05] nivalis, I did a lot of about:config tweaks in firefox 3 in ubuntu on one of my hdd's i was wondering if there was a way that I could migrate those tweaks to another build of firefox on my other hdd? [16:05] hmm ive never messed with xfce. wonder if anyone else in here might know [16:06] ChickenGirl, letalis: #xubuntu [16:06] if you have gnome installed typing gnome-volume-control in a terminal should bring up the mixer panel [16:06] moneybags1234, do you want to copy your entire profile to another instance of firefox? [16:06] having a problem with HAL and my mouse cursor--it jumps to random locations on the screen and chooses submenus for me [16:06] ChickenGirl: try alsamixer === n0_face is now known as vizpal [16:06] el_ruso: use this command: ifconfig -a [16:06] hey is there anyway to increase quantum of inodes? [16:06] my /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't haven anything listed for a mouse [16:06] dayo thanks, and thanks to everyone [16:06] ChickenGirl, if you're using pulseaudio there is a mixer program for that in the package pulseaudio-utils [16:06] sammy, sure that would work too but mainly i just want the about:config tweaks [16:07] moneybags, there ought to be a dotfile for it somewhere [16:07] nivalis, what would it be called? [16:07] moneybags1234, prefs.js holds your about:config tweaks [16:07] sammy I don't knowwhat pulseaudio is, so I don't know whether I'm using it or if it's the problem :/ [16:07] sammy, great thanks! [16:07] !pulseaudio | ChickenGirl [16:07] ChickenGirl: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [16:08] ChickenGirl, its a good place to start. pulse audio sits on top of alsa, think of it as the 'master' mixer for your machine, managing at the highest level all the input and output === Sniper is now known as Guest27343 === Silverwing is now known as LoloftheRings [16:08] does it have to be deliberately installed or does it come with Itchy Iguana (Ibex, whatever)? [16:09] sammy: not necessarily true, pulseaudio is just a layer running on top of alsa, if she doesnt unmute the mic from within alsa it wont work in anything else. [16:09] ChickenGirl: xubuntu doesn't come with pulseaudio by default [16:10] the mic doesn't seem to be muted, I've been trying to use ventrilo, when I talk people hear "feedback"-like noises [16:10] i have been doing that [16:10] Any one more then me that have the "Assertion failed" error in firefox? [16:10] ChickenGirl, that sounds like alsa is not only recording from your microphone, but also recording a 'monitor' input [16:11] yeah that happens when the 'wires' get crossed as it were. [16:11] * letalis does a lot of work in ardour [16:11] :) [16:12] ChickenGirl, you need to learn a bit more about what all of the different channels in your mixer do. try finding an audio recording program and slowly test what happens when you record from each channel. you'll find out where the audio is coming from and going to. there's really no easy way to walk someone through it, though maybe someone else has a better idea [16:12] alsamixer has the exact same volume bar setup as the xfce mixer [16:12] sammy can you recommend one? "Sound Recorder" isn't cutting it :p [16:12] anyone, anyone, Bueler...Bueler === cateeko is now known as cathy [16:13] ChickenGirl: what are you attempting to accomplish? just getting vent to work? [16:13] ChickenGirl: have you checked already that your capture input sources are the right way around? [16:13] letalis, trying to talk in vent [16:13] in xfce? I've never used it before. what I would do is look into the recording tab of your mixer program. mute *all* the channels and slowly unmute each one by themselves [16:14] I have dual booted Ubuntu with MacOX86 and am not prompted with the boot menu allowing me to choose which OS to run [16:14] myrtti, how do I do that? [16:15] how do i totally dismantal mousekeys? it keeps turning on randomly and i loathe having to waste my time to turn it off manually when it shouldnt ever activate in the first place (and NO, im NOT using the key combo, it does this usually when i've used vnc recently) [16:15] ChickenGirl: launch a terminal, type in alsamixer, hit tab, move with arrow keys to right, until your on Input Sources. Change the values with arrows up and down. Exit with esc. [16:15] join #ubuntu-nl-meeting [16:16] also, store it with alsactl store as root [16:16] bah no imagerotate() [16:16] ChickenGirl: also, my ~/.asoundrc is http://pastebin.com/f6c4a94a [16:16] Hello! Compiz users, how can I enable window snapping to panel borders? In metacity snaping works much better because of this. [16:16] Seronis, System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies [16:16] sammy: that doesnt make it go away forever [16:17] ChickenGirl: yeah a misconfigured .asoundrc can do some nasty stuff [16:17] that is what i have to do to turn it off when it turns itself on. i want it -gone- so that it cant turn itself on anymore [16:17] let me look [16:17] So I upgraded to jaunty, rebooted, sound was working - but the 2.6.28-7 kernel was mapping my drives differently, had to uninstall, reinstall, change some menu.lst parameters before it would boot. But NOW I don't have sound, and I expect it has to do with the kernel. [16:17] Seronis, in keyboard preferences, under the accessibility tab, I see 'accessibility features can be triggered with keyboard shortcuts' [16:17] !jaunty | azath [16:17] azath: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [16:17] that is deselected [16:17] that is deseected yet mouse keys still activates when you press something on the keyboard? [16:18] hi, I just tried to install "exiftool" but it seems like its not i the repositories? Does anyone know why?

It is .bin file. how do I install?? [16:19] ok, thanks anyway [16:19] george: you can install it enabling medibuntu repository and installing ti from there [16:19] n8tuser: is that a large file or something specific to look for ? (opening now) [16:19] george: Google Earth 5 ? [16:19] george: much safer to do it like that [16:20] IntuitiveNipple: I give up. no errors in dmesg, and it ~used~ to work before installing the updates ... I'll try to rebuild the USB install and then reinstall the AA1 [16:20] george, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [16:20] george: in a terminal type "sh " [16:21] it is google earth linux (3) [16:21] SammyF: OK ... have you tried using tcpdump to monitor eth0 to see if it can received any ethernet broadcast packets [16:21] SammyF: That might help determine if it's a hardware/driver issue, or higher up [16:21] Myrtti, interesting, the fact that google earth is in the medibuntu repository should be added to the community doc page. [16:22] george: Google Earth v4.x are in the medibuntu repository [16:22] IntuitiveNipple: looks like eth0 doesn't receive or send anything. [16:22] george: Usually it's a case of doing "sudo bash " to install it [16:22] IntuitiveNipple: hmm ... might be a powersaving thing [16:23] n8tuser: nothing mentioning mousekeys or accessibility options in xorg.conf [16:23] sammy: I trust that you will do it :) [16:23] SammyF: Check the arp cache see if it has ever seen anything [16:23] xvidcap keeps crashing on me... about 2 seconds after I click the record button... any ideas? I've tried with/without compiz... [16:23] savvas, I'm just logging in with my launchpad openID to do just that :) [16:23] ChickenGirl: I looked at your pastebin, that doesnt look awfully different from a default one. but i doubt having it is necessary. [16:23] sammy: thanks! :) [16:23] Myrtti, I didnt realize that only the package name changed. thanks for the help. [16:23] Seronis -> okay, i dont know where the settings is for that then [16:24] you need to get a mixer control that ives you full access to all of the options in alsa and basically just unmute the recording portion of the mice [16:24] mic rather [16:24] sammy: actually, the list of packages is here: http://packages.medibuntu.org/ [16:24] how to get to medibuntu reps...?? [16:24] savvas, whats something else people commonly install from medibuntu repositories so i can copy the instructions from an already tried and true help doc [16:24] IntuitiveNipple: sigjuice: wtf!!! "arp who-has 192.168.1.1 tell Looney-Tunes.local" ... does that mean that it thinks 192.168.1.1 is itself? [16:24] hey is there anyway to increase quantum of inodes? [16:24] th__: quantum of inodes ? [16:25] n8tuser: im not worried about a setting. i just want the feature sabatoged / dismantled / gone. Any way to intentionally handicap it beyond unselecting "enable assistive technologies" and "features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts" [16:25] also, does anyone have any idea why apt-get complains about a package not being authenticated, when the keyring for its repository is already loaded, and apt-key reports its there? [16:25] ikonia, I think they mean number of inodes [16:25] n8tuser: cause i've had those two DE selected for months and it still turns itself back on randomly after vnc use [16:25] th__, in what filesystem? [16:25] IntuitiveNipple: sigjuice: that's while pinging 192.168.1.1 and running tcpdump btw [16:25] ikonia, i ran out of them. ext3 [16:25] SammyF: no, that means it is asking for the MAC address of the network interface that hosts 192.168.1.1 [16:25] sammy, ext3 [16:25] how can I update BIOS of my motherboard if I am using Ubuntu 8.04? [16:26] IntuitiveNipple: sigh ... [16:26] th__: you can increase the number of inodes with tune2fs [16:26] yes number [16:26] Seronis -> I have not come across that issue before, therefore i dont know what to tell you, other than looking for some hints in I thought where it should have been configured [16:26] IntuitiveNipple: and here I was starting to be happy ...

[16:26] no one has an answer for it though. figure id check here [16:27] th__: tune2fs is a command, you'll need to set the options specific to your file system [16:27] Jack_Sparrow how do i do that [16:27] ikonia, nice, thx [16:30] how can i use nmap can any one help? [16:30] Barnz: use it for what ?

[17:15] boaty: what did you setup in the multimedia panel for video input? [17:15] mohan43u: that's a poor response, but the version of mplayer shipped with ubuntu 8.10 is quite old, so he could be right [17:16] is there any diagnostic program I can run from the cd drive that could tell me for sure? [17:16] only thought is that it is perhaps just too old [17:16] usser: depends on what the damage is [17:16] ikonia: I'm getting this same error in ffmpeg also? is it a libavc problem?

[18:23] hey guys. anyone know of a good benchmark suite? Google offers a few but i don't know which is ok... [18:23] usually you have to specify the devies in advance and let vbox take over control of them while the vm is in use [18:23] well I try :) [18:24] right.. [18:24] vm handles it, but you have to specify what in the usb configuration of vbox as to what it will take over [18:24] photronix has one [18:24] letalis: the filters thing? [18:25] like a printer available to vbox usually becomes inacessible to the host system, (im assuming linux in this case) [18:25] yes [18:25] alright. so I mark the devices that I want to use with vb? [18:25] yes [18:25] hello; i would like to use packages fro, jaunty in intrepid, is that possible? how? thanks. (i'm having huge issues with pulseaudio and people reported the issues to be fixed by using more recent packages) [18:25] when the vm is in use the host will more than likely lose access to them [18:25] Num83rGuy: Yes, i guess i'll just use that suite since phoronix is quite a credible site [18:26] devices dont like to fight with two osses on the usb bus at the same time and they rarely play nice if both have access to it at the same time [18:26] uski: It is possible but not recommended as other packages might depend on an older version, and you might end up with broken packages [18:27] hey, anyone know how to stop SSH hanging when I leave it idle?

[18:41] alucardromero, most of the time if you restart firefox, or kill it, it works [18:41] alucardromero: what flash plugin? flashplugin-nonfree? [18:41] ivo: when I first saw the issue on LWM I thought the solution should be the file must be executable, but it would be nice to have a shebang line there in that case [18:41] No, the one from adobe.com [18:41] Num83rGuy: lspci, to get a list of all PCI based hardware, that should help you nail which cards you are running [18:42] webcamwonder, i have a related question. how do i find the code to launch a program if I want to create a custtom launcher or something. Forexample, the trash can, i want to create a custom launcher for trashcan how do i know what the command is to launch it... [18:42] aren't they the same flash plugin? [18:42] alucardromero: the 'flashplugin-nonfree' in the repos is Adobe's. [18:42] fiftyone: You want one on the desktop? Nautilus has an option (hidden) for that [18:42] alucardromero: Using the one from the repos, is fine on video and sound (for me) [18:42] Yeah, I know that. But would it matter if it was from the adobe site or from the repositories? [18:42] fiftyone: you can add a trash can to your desktop via gconf-editor [18:42] IntuitiveNipple: I think it should be executable only if it's not in /usr/share/applications [18:43] alucardromero: don't know, the one from the repos works for me.

[18:43] ivo: The thing is, the 'x' permission usualyl infers the file is directly executable. In the case of a .desktop, without a shebang line, it won't be. [18:43] DjViper1: you should be using native b43 driver [18:44] erUSUL: doesnt work [18:44] DjViper1: did you installed b43-fwcutter ?

[18:45] erUSUL: Quick question. Do you remember if the Hardware Drivers in Intrepid installs b43-fwcutter? [18:45] erUSUL: which pkg? [18:45] DjViper1: b43-fwcutter [18:45] WebcamWonder: no; i dunno i do not have a broadcom card [18:45] Num83rGuy, start by looking in /var/log/dmesg ; see if some hardware wasn't recognized properly [18:45] ivo: Do you now which executable Gnome would need on the shebang line? I'm not sure... possibly nautilus? [18:47] IntuitiveNipple: I think the code that executes .desktop files is not in nautilus executable, it's in a library. Possibly libnautilus (if there is), but I'm not sure. [18:47] ooo [18:48] erUSUL: okay, installing it now [18:48] ivo: might be worth finding out and posting an example on the brainstorm page showing how it could work [18:48] what I have to install to read the .flv files under Ubuntu ?

[20:06] aitd, ok, I tried deluser and it worked fine [20:06] its cool i just dont like the player that comes with ubuntu 8 [20:06] tsrk good deal [20:06] The installation never seems to occur. [20:06] i figured since i used adduser to add it i should use deluser to delete it [20:07] i just didn't understand why there were 2 separate ones [20:07] HLM11: In the upper right, right click on the volume icon, and click on "Open Volume Control".

I used Wubi to install Ubuntu. I get the Ubuntu login screen and enter my username and password and then it just gives me a blank screen with a cursor. [20:07] dayo> how do u even live with your self .. am sure u dont look at the mirror [20:07] jrib the one that comes with ubutnu 8 works fine, i just hate the playlist editor [20:07] I prefer the adduser as well useradd has an option for passwords but on my system(s) the password ends up in the passwd file as plain text instead of in shadow [20:07] and the plugins suck [20:07] So the program is currently installed? [20:07] compiz fails to autostart at login [20:07] its open, but its not telling me anything about digital.. [20:08] redvamp128 but thx ill try the ctrl+alt backspace thing [20:08] Hmm. [20:08] root__: give it a rest [20:08] tsrk useradd works better for me in other situations though. So I end up using them both from time to time. [20:08] Anyone have any ideas? [20:09] aitd, what situations? what do they do differently? [20:09] does anybody know how to compile/install via CMake? [20:09] i am trying to install the following http://artoolkit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/artoolkit/branches/hartmut-pre-2_8/artoolkit/ [20:10] I am getting no sound.. [20:10] jrib: know anything about installing mplayer for ubuntu [20:10] where is Xorg.conf located??? [20:10] LostChain: same way you installed audacious [20:10] G-Bleezy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:10] k [20:11] tsrk: useradd when I just need to add a user to a server / group for file access. The group has a password for access. adduser when I need to have a home dir and password installed on the system, such as a desktop [20:11] I put Ubuntu on it's own partition also. I get the ubuntu login screen and log in fine, it just gives me a tan screen with a cursor. Nothing else happens. [20:11] apt .... i forgot the rest [20:11] elementz: synaptic [20:11] LostChain: use synaptic [20:11] ok [20:11] * jrib sees a pattern [20:12] does anyone know the solution to ubuntu failling to get files from mirrors on first installintionn it keeps giving the sme message no matr what mirror I choose [20:12] tsrk: also tend to use gpasswd to manage the groups and group passwords [20:12] what should i chmod my home/user/.gnupg/gpg.conf to since it warns about wrong permission [20:12] aitd, oh, ok, i think i understand, i didn't even know groups could have passwords [20:12] bye folks, I'll go play some OpeniLeroXtreme [20:12] *openlieroxtreme [20:12] failers^: mine is 600 [20:13] jrib ok thx [20:13] Kutz: you could try reinstall ubuntu-desktop or install the kubuntu-desktop sign into that go into your package manger and tell it to reinstall ubuntu desktop [20:13] tsrk: yup. Even so, I have set up groups and then added the sticky bit to the dir, then added the users to the group with no password, but let them have full control of the dirs and files they add individually. [20:13] no the laptop has no oratiin os on it at the moment [20:14] aitd, the sticky bit? what's that? [20:14] tsrk: this way they can add files for group access, but cannot delete any of them without owning them first. .. Also set the umask to 0027 before doing this to make the job easier [20:14] i need some help please [20:14] Can anybody point me to a good guide for getting a chroot going under inprepid ibex? [20:15] does anyone know the solution to ubuntu failling to get files from mirrors on first installintionn it keeps giving the same message no matr what mirror I choose [20:15] when i open up update manager i see updates in there but the update button is grayed out and wont let me click it [20:15] jrib: synaptic? for what? [20:15] elementz: the answer to your question [20:15] Owner, what error? [20:15] aitd, ah, ok, i've been wondering if there's a way to do that [20:15] Kutz: you could try alt+f1 to get a prompt up to do the reinstall or install [20:15] Excuse me I'm having a problem where my wireless works but the light is not on [20:15] Strange isn't it? [20:16] Necrogamemaster: if it works, don't worry about it :) [20:16] Necrogamemaster, do you need help with it? [20:16] elementz: install cmake using synaptic, then read the documentation for your software [20:16] something about bad mirrors or no rlease file [20:16] jrib: ah got it [20:16] tsrk: Sticky bit: when assigned to the dir allows users to only delete the files within the dir for which they are owner of the file or the dir itself. [20:16] th [20:16] thx [20:16] Just wondering if it could become a problem later, maybe it just burned out, lol [20:16] aitd, ok, thanks [20:16] I'd leave alone Necrogamemaster [20:16] tsrk: for instance chmod 1770 [20:16] Necrogamemaster: mine doesnt come on either, it is probably an issue of the driver just not turning the light on [20:17] aitd, the 1 in front means the sticky bit? [20:17] hey guys [20:17] hello i have a question, when i type on my laptop my text goes crazy because of my hand is brushing the trackpad, anyone have this problem, if so how do you solve it? [20:17] i googled it and it seems I am not theonly onewho hasseen this [20:17] makes it damn near impossible to type nicely [20:17] tsrk: yes. Then as root chgrp for the group [20:17] ok [20:17] tsrk: add the users to the group and you are done [20:17] anyone have experience being connected to 2 different wireless nets at the same time? [20:18] Hello, how do I protect my server agaings UDP flooding? [20:18] wqhere can i find my Xsession config file? [20:18] something about bad mirrors or no rlease files [20:18] hey guys [20:18] i have a Q concerning virtual machine === maxime_ is now known as otacon85 [20:18] this is kind of a random question, but does anyone have any suggestions on what is a good font combination to set in System / Preferences / Appearances / Fonts? it seems that no matter what font I choose, they are all kind of ugly... I could also use a font suggestion for my Bluefish editor, that was reset when I last updated for some reason [20:18] One more question what desktop enviroment is less demanding KDE, Gnome, or XFCE??? [20:18] I doing a net install [20:18] fiftyone: I did find this about temporarily disable the touchpad- Temporarily Disable Touchpad While Typing : Ubuntu Tutorials : Dapper - Gutsy - Hardy - Intrepid [20:19] So does anyone know how to fix that problem? [20:19] I have a problem. I have an encrypted /home partition, entrypted during installation, now reinstalled my system and don't know how to restore the /home encrypted partition. The installer didn't recognised it. Please help. [20:20] Necrogamemaster: fluxbox [20:20] Kutz: you could try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop or install the xubuntu-desktop- log off and sign into that to gain access to the Synaptic Package Manger to do a reinstall of Ubuntu-desktop. [20:21] redvamp128, All I did was run wubi. [20:21] Did I do something wrong? [20:21] Necro, I am not an expert but I think XFCE is the least demanding of those three [20:21] Is it possible to stop Rhythmbox from indexing? Right now it's working fine but it's indexing my entire hard drive. Very annoying.. I want to cancel/stop it and just select specific folders ???? [20:21] redvamp128, I can log in I just can't do anything. [20:22] i downloaded and unpacked an app whose bianry is only available for Linux within a .tar.gz archive. I unarchived it inside ~/opt/. How do I make the binary executable either by double clicking on it or--better yet--adding it to a desktop panel. Currently, I get a warning, when I double-click the binary from Nautilus, that asks what I want to do with the file. [20:22] Kutz: I think something went odd in the install of the ubuntu-desktop (gnome) but no you didn't do anything wrong. [20:22] I figured it out.. close and reopen the app [20:22] redvamp128, How would I reinstall ubuntu-desktop? [20:22] Kutz: try first alt-f1 should bring up a terminal [20:23] Just a note on my problem I though I was having before about not being able to delete a suspicious user. The user was created by transmission torrent afaict. And not being able to administrate Users and Groups is a bug with the GUI, it works perfectly over the command line. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885096 You guys will have to remember that one. :D [20:23] Kutz, try alt + F2 [20:24] i have a problem with updates, when i open up update manager i see updates in there but the update button is grayed out and wont let me click it [20:24] ubuntu 8.04 === Centaur is now known as Kutz [20:24] Ok [20:24] Kutz: ctrl+alt+backspace then apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [20:24] I am going to restart the pc and run it into ubuntu [20:25] So I want to login right? [20:25] actually [20:25] it IS safe to resize from the beginning of a NTFS partition->back to create free space in the front of the drive, right? [20:25] tangentcollision: thanks I was just getting ready to type that- but got a private message from someone else [20:25] tsrk: further on the useradd. typically I use it in scripts to bulk add users to the system [20:25] sudo apt-get install irssi first, then use ctrl+alt+F2 screen irssi to keep a signal to us during the fray [20:26] does anyone know a floppy install process or files for ubuntu that really works for sure [20:26] Hi, I enabled the jaunty restricted repo under intrepid to install the latest nvidia drivers, and now I have them installed. How do I remove all the other jaunty updates? [20:26] aitd, ok, i usually don't have to do anything like that [20:26] anyone have an idea why my video playback flickers alot [20:26] tsrk: also using a util called chpasswd(?) to force encrypted passwords to shadow and then expire them so that they will have to change the pw on the first login. [20:26] Kutz: you get all that? [20:26] mos of the poceses I am running into are iether brken or buggy [20:26] hello to all,can anyone tell me how can i make swf flash photos slideshow in ubuntu 8.10 [20:26] wolter: it's a very bad idea to mix repos like that [20:26] Yea, logging in right now [20:26] hmm [20:27] i have a problem with updates, when i open up update manager i see updates in there but the update button is grayed out and wont let me click it [20:27] tsrk: np. Useful info for future use maybe [20:27] so you're not on the computer [20:27] aitd, ah, that one could be useful (chpasswd), thanks [20:27] Kutz: don't worry about logging in [20:27] wolter: the latest drivers are in 8.10 are they not (180.29)? [20:27] ardchoille, its even a worse idea to not do it being a consequence of such not being able to suspend one's computer between classes [20:27] i log in, when I hit ctrl+alt+backspace it logs me out [20:27] my 2 gigabyte jump drive gives me an error saying cannot mount [20:27] you're going to be logging in to command line [20:27] durt, no, but 180.11 or 22,, [20:28] hello to all,can anyone tell me how can i make swf flash photos slideshow in ubuntu 8.10 [20:28] tsrk: I had a full example uploaded to my website at one point but pulled it for updating. Otherwise I could show you the script and the differences easier. [20:28] wolter: mixing repos can destroy the system, there is no valid reason for it. [20:28] Owner, I asked because I thought *maybe* I could help. I'm actually kinda busy right now trying to get my girlfriend's computer running. Please STOP hammering me. [20:28] Kutz: you're going to be doing all of this in command line [20:28] Kutz, try ctrl alt F1 and then log in from there [20:28] tsrk: It will end up there again before long.... [20:28] c0rrupt0r: try sudo apt-get update in the terminal and see what if any errors occur [20:28] ok I logged in with session GNOME [20:29] hey :) am a n00b, need some help. how do i update a software? i want to update Transmission torrent client [20:29] Kutz: no, stop right there [20:29] I have a desktop image but can't do anything [20:29] ardchoille, that's why I just installed the nvidia drivers, obviously having previously consulted if that wouldn't harm my system. [20:29] How do I configure my network settings in Ubuntu 8.10, and have them stick around? [20:29] aitd, how soon do you think? [20:29] quibbler: ok thank you will try that [20:29] When I reboot, it says the network is not connected, and when I go to the network settings, they are blank again. [20:29] Kutz: log in via command line, that's why I had you ctrl+alt+bkspc [20:29] tsrk: within the month http://projects.cybereffect.net [20:29] aitd, ok, thanks [20:30] tangentcollision, ctrl+alt+backspace at the login screen? [20:30] ardchoille, anyway, how do i disable the appearance of all those jaunty updates now? I just disabled the software sources jaunty entries.. [20:30] Kutz, ctrl+alt+F1 and then log in from virtual konsoll 1 [20:30] Renfield: at least you can establish a network... [20:30] I just wanted to say thank you to you folks for helping me today. It has to be frustrating for you dealing with a novice user like myself. [20:30] wolter: I don't think there is a way to fix that [20:30] Oh, I mean that the configuration is back to dhcp, but I don't want it to be DHCP, I want to manually configure my network. [20:30] tsrk: np. Got to head out on errands. Good day [20:30] Kutz: ctrl+alt+bkspc to kill xserver-xorg [20:30] I was able to get wwmkr installed and am currently taking it for a test run. [20:30] ardchoille, about when is jaunty going to be released? [20:30] Should there be a "save" button on the dialog? === eric is now known as Guest37782 [20:30] There is only "OK". [20:30] wolter: the jaunty stuff replaced your intrepid stuff, this is why it's a bad idea [20:30] Kutz: then ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a terminal [20:31] stupid question: how do I see all running processes? [20:31] wolter: hmm.. no idea, perhaps ask in #ubuntu+1 [20:31] wolter: April 23rd or thereabouts [20:31] tsrk: ps -A [20:31] ardchoille, well, it didn't replace any packages [20:31] oh ok [20:31] tsrk, top or ps aux [20:31] i can put up with that haha [20:31] eraggo, ok, thanks [20:31] Kutz: then sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [20:31] :) [20:31] I won't update a single package for then. [20:31] Kutz: then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [20:31] wolter: did you run apt-get update or apt-get upgrade? [20:31] also, is it sane to add a script to the /etc/acpi/resume.d ? [20:31] quibbler: ok I found out my problem is im on ubuntu 8.04 and I have ubuntu 8.10 ppa repositories [20:31] ardchoille, update [20:32] hey guys does any one her have link to the md5sums the main ubuntu site seems to like to hide the darn thing [20:32] ardchoille, i didn't update any package but the nvidia drivers [20:32] tangentcollision, waiting for the login screen to appear [20:32] wolter: you may be ok then, just remove the jaunty repos from sources and update again [20:32] c0rrupt0r: i'm glad you found the problem [20:32] Kutz: no, you're not looking for a login screen [20:32] Ok, I am asking. [20:32] coz_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/MD5SUMS [20:32] quibbler: thank you for your help [20:32] Kutz: ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a terminal [20:32] lithixium, thanks guy [20:32] When? [20:32] then sudo killx I think [20:32] now [20:32] When do I push them is what I am asking [20:32] c0rrupt0r: you are welcome [20:32] any time you can [20:33] whenever they do something is good [20:33] Do I need to be root in order to configure the network? [20:33] Kutz, to get back to gnome press Ctr+alt+F7 [20:33] Renfield: i think yes [20:33] Ok, I am at this screen, Kernel 2.6.27-7-generic [20:33] recovery mod [20:33] Renfield: You'll need root privileges (using sudo ....) [20:33] memtest86 [20:33] eraggo: Then why does it let me configure it as a local user, and why doesn't it ask me for a password? [20:34] you made it all the way back to ...

[20:40] quibbler: where is : internet>transmission [20:40] how do i restart samba? [20:40] HLM11: it is how wine handles sound issue...there are things you need to add to the -- wine registry to fix them. [20:40] IntuitiveNipple: do you which package I need to install to get that? [20:41] how can i tell which udp port a usb device is on? [20:41] thechris: /etc/init.d/samba restart [20:41] its not just wine its everything [20:41] Pollywog: htdig [20:41] q issuh???

[20:42] thechris: let me check [20:42] eraggo where is : internet>transmission [20:42] just figured an answered question would be an hour faster? [20:42] hey could someone please help me with updating Transmission [20:43] thechris: I think you do not have the samba server installed [20:43] there is some change in the repository and am a n00b. i am unable to figure it out [20:43] hey guys I formatted reformatted a 4gb usb stick, and now I can't change the permissions on it. [20:43] did you install the package with a deb? [20:43] or tarball? [20:43] fuck you! [20:43] Pollywog: wow, how do i have a smb.conf?!

[20:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound its not working [20:44] maybe he has Tourette's Keyboard Syndrome [20:44] Pollywog: you seem to be correct, i'm just suprised I have samba config files without actually having samba [20:44] oic [20:44] can i install back alsa [20:44] ? [20:45] IntuitiveNipple: whoami reports jlmlocal. This is the user that I was forced to create when I installed Ubuntu 8.10 amd64. [20:45] durt: Just that? I checked their site and it talks about some change in repository etc [20:46] IntuitiveNipple: ty I indeed have htsearch where you said it should be [20:46] Renfield: Okay, then in reference to your earlier question, you should need to use 'sudo...' in order to execute commands to configure the network [20:46] Evilrick, I paste you solution Here >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/118168/ [20:46] IntuitiveNipple: I did sudo su - to root, and change the password, since I don't remember being given the opportunity to set the password. [20:46] titan_ark: you want to install outside of the repos? [20:46] was a good day [20:46] IntuitiveNipple: Ok, so if I select the network configuration from the Ubuntu desktop, how do I get it to "sudo" as necessary? [20:46] Renfield: Hmmm... you set a password for the root user? In Ubuntu, we don't usually do that. [20:46] Oh? [20:46] I was worried in getting a dell 1501 that it would be hard to get linux working on, but I am very glad that it works much better than my Toshiba did xD [20:46] Renfield: sudo/gksudo do anything you need, there's no real reason to set a root password. I haven't had to do it in 4 years with Ubuntu [20:47] Even with an ati card [20:47] Renfield: From the desktop, the network configuration tools will know when to ask for permissions and prompt you [20:47] Oh, I'm just used to root always having a password. [20:47] Ok, so I'll go and unset the root password. [20:47] Renfield: The default root accoount in Ubuntu is locked [20:47] !rootsudo | Renfield [20:47] Renfield: 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) [20:47] durt, I am sorry, I am new to linux, I hardly understand this. Tried updateing using sudo apt get install but it did not help. I just want to update from 1.3 to the latest version because i want to use the scheduler feature etc [20:47] after going through the trouble shooter, my sound should be working, but it is not [20:47] I'm used to much more low-level system configuration. [20:48] Renfield: In Ubuntu the initial user is added to the "admin" group, which is allowed root permissions via sudo. [20:48] ardchoille: I know about sudo. [20:48] Renfield: unset root password instructions are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:48] ardchoille: Thanks. [20:48] yw [20:48] Renfield: I usually just do "sudo su" to become root [20:48] I think I know too much for my own good here.

The next version of transmission will be in Jaunty, out in the end of April. [20:48] IntuitiveNipple: Yea, I know what you mean. [20:49] IntuitiveNipple: :-< [20:49] more about sudo: http://xkcd.com/149/ [20:49] HLM11: okay still no sound with alsa -- What is your sound card -- should do a lspci should tell you what ubuntu says it is. [20:49] * IntuitiveNipple sings ...If sussie loves sudo like I love sudo ... la la la [20:50] durt: but i just checked and 1.4 was released for ubuntu in jan and Feb 14th they have released 1.5 for ubuntu [20:50] Renfield, that means its time to move on to #gentoo :) [20:50] durt: http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5604#p31095 [20:50] typing /etc/profile [20:50] Renfield: if you configure the network manually using ifconfig or /etc/network/interfaces, NetworkManager will stop managing that interface automatically. [20:50] in terminal [20:50] titan_ark: ok give me two secs [20:50] says permission not granted [20:50] wth 6 [20:50] 6 [20:50] ?

[20:50] durt: sure thanks :) === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [20:51] it is not a pci soundcard, it is an external usb soundcard, it is listed as supported [20:51] maxime_, /etc/profile is a text file, you cant execute it.... [20:51] okay HLM11 then lsusb I think is the command [20:51] titan: oh...

[20:52] maxime_, if you are wanting to use values in /etc/profile you need to do: source /etc/profile [20:52] Thanks [20:52] titan: that should bring me to the config right [20:52] has anyone ever used gnome-lirc-properties? [20:52] maxime_, that will update your PATH when the one listed in /etc/profile, but it should be that way by default [20:52] Titan8990: This is my first non-gentoo installation in many years! [20:52] maxime_, no, if you want to edit it: sudo nano -w /etc/profile [20:52] Renfield, hehe [20:53] thanks titan: im there , lol..feel like im going to have fun :P [20:53] hi maxi [20:54] HLM11: I am looking at the alsa main page and most say to plug speakers into the stereo jack -- still reading though [20:54] maxime_, I highly recommend you make a backup of it before making changes: sudo cp /etc/profile /etc/profile.BAK === grenadejumper is now known as GrenadeJumper [20:55] HLM11: This is what I found so far Matrix:Module-usb-audio - AlsaProject [20:55] I have no sterer jack, there is a line in line out and a fron port for a headset [20:55] stereo* [20:55] anyone good with J2ME (mobile applications) here ? [20:56] join #freenode [20:56] IntuitiveNipple: So do you recommend manually setting the network configuration from /etc/network/interfaces? [20:56] miessed / [20:56] if i chroot to another ubuntu installation, the network doesnt work, why is that? [20:56] titan , that way itll be located right besides the profile file ? [20:56] does anyone have a good reference on udev, sysfs, hal, etc? Especially with an eye towards ubuntu? [20:57] Renfield: For normal use, no, I'd leave NetworkManager to it. But be aware that any manual changes will stop NM from managing the interface [20:57] chroot is a jailed environment of another installation right? [20:57] what package do I need for the mysql driver for php? I thought it was php5-mysql [20:57] marcelkoopman: Have you bound /dev/ and /sys/ (as well as /proc/) into the chroot? [20:58] j85wilson -> http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html [20:58] IntuitiveNipple, no I just mount and chroot [20:58] IntuitiveNipple: Well, ok, but I have yet to get NetworkManager to work! I'm trying to do things the Ubuntu way. [20:58] n8tuser: thanks. I will take a look. [20:58] IntuitiveNipple, its an option of chroot i presume? [20:59] IntuitiveNipple: I deleted the auto eth0 config, and tried creating a new one. This new one never gets a network config, and the MAC address area is blank. Do I need to provide a MAC address? [20:59] Er I mean it never "sees" the network. [20:59] Renfield -> post your /etc/network/interfaces file [20:59] How do I upgrade SeaMonkey? I downloaded the 1.1.4 , it is a GTK installer but I do not know what to do after that. [20:59] marcelkoopman: It might help to "sudo mount --bind /proc $CHROOT/proc && sudo mount --bind /dev $CHROOT/dev && sudo mount --bind /sys $CHROOT/sys" [21:00] A stupid gnome question: how can i set a program to open automatically when someone logs into a sessions [21:00] Renfield: No, that is, I think, for if you want to set a specific MAC [21:00] marcelkoopman: Of course, after you exit the chroot you should umount $CHROOT/{proc,dev,sys} too [21:01] n8tuser: It is just two lines: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback [21:01] tuna-fish -> launch it in .bashrc ? [21:01] where is the directory ween Istambul has your files too upload a new configuration video off compiz :) [21:01] tuna-fish: run gnome-session-properties or some such [21:01] HLM11: I have found numerous launchpad bug reports for that card though you could try what is on this page and see if you can make some sense to it -- Matrix:Module-usb-audio - AlsaProject [21:02] Renfield -> you wanted to add eth0? a sample can be had from man interfaces [21:02] n8tuser: Well, I'd like it to just work from the GUI, isn't that what people are supposed to use? [21:02] Renfield -> not necessarily, one can still use good ole cli [21:03] whats a good system *log* file to look at? [21:03] where to download znc for shell [21:03] what package contains the mysql driver for php? [21:03] Renfield: you can use the gui, or you can also edit the /etc/network/interfaces file (which is what i usually do) [21:03] how do i make a D/L'ed binary executable from Nautilus double-click or, better, get it to launch from a panel/menu? It's not in any repositories and I D/L'ed it as a .tar.gz. and unarchived it into ~/opt [21:03] Schuenemann: LAMP, i think [21:03] IntuitiveNipple, thanks [21:03] dayo: The GUI is not working. [21:03] dayo, lamp has a lot of stuff [21:04] lamp has everything you need [21:04] tangentcollision, I already have everything, I just need the driver now [21:04] I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be user friendly, I can't believe this just does not work at all. [21:05] baz: System>Admin>System Log [21:05] Schuenemann: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/php-db [21:05] Renfield: what do you mean by "not working" [21:05] Renfield: give it time, i once was like you, padawan [21:05] Should I check the box that says "system setting"? [21:05] baz: system-administration-system log [21:05] what's the terminal command to call ubuntu text editor? [21:06] no kidding, its worth the work and patience needed [21:06] Schuenemann: u want just the mysql driver? [21:06] So how do i disable the emulate 3 button for my mouse. I checked the xorg.conf file and found nothing about to the mouse [21:06] Renfield: It might be an idea to restart NetworkManager, in case you've just confused it :) [21:06] dayo: I believe I have configured the network settings from the GUI, but I have no connection. [21:06] Renfield: : what are you migrating from ? [21:06] maxime_: Bare metal. [21:06] hey guys [21:06] bare metal !? [21:07] IntuitiveNipple, I'm not sure that's what I need. I'm trying to configure mediawiki: http://rafb.net/p/sJI14n53.html [21:07] maxime_: What do you mean by migrating? [21:07] Renfield: I hated Linux for the first month I used it. And that was in c. 2000. Things have gotten a lot better since. [21:07] Renfield: If you think you've configured it, "ifconfig" and "ip route show" should show the settings [21:07] This is a new install. [21:07] what's the terminal command to call ubuntu's text editor? [21:07] IntuitiveNipple: ifconfig shows up broadcast, not the IP address I added. [21:07] I need to reinstall an OS, what is the best way for me to back up an entire ubuntu-readable partition to another ext3 [21:07] imbecilin, gedit [21:07] Renfield: open a terminal and type: ifconfig -a then pastebin the output [21:07] should I do it as root? [21:07] which commadn should I enter to do so? [21:08] Renfield: : migrated from vista here.. :P thats the worst scenario ever, you'll be just fine [21:08] also, should I do it in knoppix? [21:08] imbecilin: gedit === fabs1 is now known as fabs [21:08] Renfield: hmm, then it isn't doing it's job... maybe worth checking /var/log/daemon.log for clues [21:08] IntuitiveNipple: Ok. === fabs is now known as horstle [21:09] I get the following error when trying to test my sound... [21:09] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [21:09] Renfield -> remove roaming mode in the gui if there is a box checked. [21:09] hey yall, i installed kdevelop on my comp and i cant find it in the applications menu [21:09] Hey when you just type "xgl" at the command line should something happen?? [21:09] HLM11, try: sudo adduser USERNAME audio [21:10] it says command not found when i do that...but maybe that is supposed to happen? [21:10] tlchack5, try: which kdevelop [21:10] Is http://www.itsecurity.com/features/ubuntu-secure-install-resource/ still up to date? Seems to be pointing to software last updated in 2005? [21:11] titan8990, what? [21:11] after adding myself to the audio group the same thing happens during testing [21:11] hey is XGL a command? [21:11] is there ant easy way to backup ubuntu&programs&settings to a dvd/hd or something [21:11] or no? [21:11] IntuitiveNipple: It mentions "Could not acquire the NetworkManager service, as it is already taken", then "Failed to start the dbus manager". [21:11] anyone? I need to backup an entire partition, how do I do so? I've installed /home on a separate partition [21:11] what is OSS, because that plays the sound for me just fine, why wont alsa work? [21:11] i have another hard disk [21:11] how do I do this safely? [21:12] wubrgamer: rsync is my suggestion. [21:12] Renfield: ouch! I suggest trying a) log-out/log-in or b) restart [21:12] rsync? [21:12] G-Bleezy: no [21:12] what switches should I use with rsync? [21:12] HLM11: looks like someone else is helping you-- I read about 6 pages on that issue- I just have one question-- when you setup Ubuntu-- was this usb plugged in? or added after? [21:12] k [21:12] rsync is complicated and the man page makes my simpleton brain hurt [21:12] IntuitiveNipple: Ugh, is the Ubuntu, or Windows? [21:12] lol [21:12] what user does proftpd run as by default? [21:12] wubrgamer: Do you want to save an image of the entire partition, or to back-up the *files and directories* ? [21:12] vigo, quibbler thanks thats what i was looking for [21:13] IntuitiveNipple: just the files [21:13] Renfield: I blame the user :p [21:13] and directories and such [21:13] i don't need to image it [21:13] IntuitiveNipple: haha! [21:13] i don't have the SPACE to image it [21:13] where is kdevelop when you install it? i installed it on xubuntu and i cant find it. idk what version of kdevelop it is, i just typed "sudo aptitude install kdevelop" into terminal [21:13] wubrgamer: Then something like "rsync -a /source/dir/ /dest/dir/" [21:13] -a? [21:13] wubrgamer: -a == archive. === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [21:14] it was plugged in during install.. its almost never removed [21:14] tlchack5, try: which kdevelop [21:14] there are another program to download mp3? === flaco is now known as flacom [21:14] and -a won't drop any direcotries [21:14] and it'll include all hidden files and " [21:14] "dot-files" ? [21:14] wubrgamer: read the man-page: "man rsync" [21:15] IntuitiveNipple, hmm... that did not solve it [21:15] Woa, reboot fixed it! === sue is now known as calamari [21:15] well, thanks guys [21:15] wubrgamer, you have to specifically tell it to exclude hidden files [21:15] IntuitiveNipple, do I have to recompile it? [21:15] what is OSS, and why does that work when alsa mixer does not? [21:15] That's just wrong. I've never had to reboot a Linux system before in order to get networking working. Oh, well. It is a sign of the times. [21:15] im a linux newbie [21:15] Schuenemann: I'm not sure then... the error message in the pastebin indicated the solution was to change the actual build options of the package, but I can't imagine that it's being shipped without that support - lots of people would have complained by now! [21:16] there are another program to download mp3? [21:16] Renfield, in the future, you can restart networking via /etc/init.d/network restart [21:16] Mariano -> wget [21:16] rdw200169: I did that, and that did not help. [21:16] Hi all -- really easy quesiton. If I sudo to another user inside my terminal in Gnome, and try to run something like firefox, it says it can't open display :0.0 . WHat is the correct way to run firefox as another user, or other GUI apps? Thank you in advance! [21:16] Renfield, *networking [21:16] IntuitiveNipple, isn't it what is told here? http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php#faq.databases.mysql.php5 [21:16] !sound [21:16] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [21:16] IntuitiveNipple, sorry, here actually: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php [21:17] where can i found wget? :-D [21:17] Schuenemann, you should look at ubuntu specific documentation [21:17] Schuenemann, ubuntu likes to change things.... [21:17] grr [21:17] Renfield, unless there's a driver/kernel issue, networking can always be restarted, or fixed, via either ifup/ifdown, /etc/init.d/networking, ip, ifconfig, etc... [21:17] this is not working for me, why? [21:17] !oss | HLM11 [21:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about oss [21:18] n8tuser: where can i found wget? :-D [21:18] Marian: wget is already installed on your system. open a terminal and type: man wget [21:18] Mariano, type: which wget [21:18] wget http:ubuntu.com [21:18] HLM11: Oss is 4Front Technologies [21:18] Mariano -> apt-get install wget [21:18] titan8990: in the terminal? [21:19] Does anyone know how I properly run GUI apps as another user ? [21:19] Mariano, always [21:19] is there a way to change default soundplayer from alsamixer to OSS? [21:19] HLM11, its not a soundplayer, its a sounddriver [21:19] thats what I mean... I guess [21:19] HLM11: yes -- system- prefereces-- sound then change them to oss - [21:19] HLM11, you can blacklist the alsa modules or you can unintall them [21:20] HLM11, if I'm not mistaken, OSS is a dead technology [21:20] the dead technology is working for me though -.- [21:20] Oh, I spoke too soon. Although the IP address is configure, the default route is not, and /etc/resolv.conf is not properly populated. [21:20] HLM11, you should always use alsa unless you have legacy equipment not supported by alsa [21:20] HLM11: instead of using the autodetect Titan8990 though if it works for him then he has sound [21:21] Schuenemann: The package is built with "--with-mysql=shared,/usr" amongst many others [21:21] its set to alsamixer for device, the OSS is not there... [21:21] Renfield: see why the command line is preferrable to gui? ;-) [21:21] redvamp128, ah, well I have no idea how to turn off the automagik features of ubuntu, my distro uses alsaconf [21:21] how can i figure out which process is using /dev/video0 ? something seems to block access to it [21:21] HLM11, alsamixer is not a device, it is volume control for alsa devices [21:21] HLM11: If you change them there could be listed as Open Source Sound [21:21] elementz -> lsof -i /dev/video0 [21:22] HLM11, type alsamixer in the terminal or: man alsamixer [21:22] thx [21:22] HLM11, for additional information [21:22] HLM11: or Open SOund System [21:22] dayo: I'm about to write a couple dozen bug reports. [21:22] Schuenemann: That error report in pastebin - was it generated by the mediawiki installer? [21:22] alsamixer is all the way up [21:22] Renfield: really? [21:23] IntuitiveNipple, yes. The configure script, actually. [21:23] HLM11, have you gone through the sound troubleshooting pages? [21:23] is ruby a good place to start learning to program on the linux platform? [21:23] No, I'm joking, but it would make me feel better. [21:23] yes [21:23] HLM11: Does it even list in the drop down the OSS Open sound system (that is what it is listed there for mine) [21:23] tlchack5, you should view the programming focums on the ubuntu forums [21:23] k pasa [21:23] where? [21:23] tlchack5, there is some excellent links [21:23] violento: que pasa [21:23] im a linux newbie [21:23] for some reason I think denyhosts is locking me out of my server how can I remove my IP for the list? [21:23] HLM11: - system- preferences - sound [21:23] OM [21:23] tlchack5: i'd recommend python http://python.org #python [21:24] which area? [21:24] tlchack5, but personally, I recommend python with this MIT book: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkCSpy/html/index.html [21:24] apparently I have several soundports [21:24] IntuitiveNipple, how do I stop apache again? If /etc/init.d/apache2 stop I still see the processes with ps aux | grep apache [21:24] evilGUI: /etc/hosts.deny [21:24] for device? [21:24] alright, thank you =] [21:24] Schuenemann: You mean http://your_machine/wiki/config/ [21:24] tlchack5, don't attempt to use the tutorial on python.org, it is written for people who are already programmers === giuseppe is now known as Guest73885 [21:24] oh [21:24] IntuitiveNipple, yes [21:24] Schuenemann: That is how to stop it, yes [21:24] o.O? [21:25] tlchack5, it doesn't teach concepts and a programming way of thinking [21:25] hey nose ingles [21:25] (sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop) [21:25] HLM11: what I would do is move each down and click test see where one works (though if oss works ) it should work if set there. [21:25] tlchack5, and for programming in python, I recommend EMACs [21:25] hola [21:25] juntate con nosotros en el canal ubuntu-es [21:25] nose ablas ingles [21:25] IntuitiveNipple, sigh... it says it stopped, but the processes are still there [21:25] k pasa [21:25] Titan8990: what should I get if I'm trying to start out with perl, I have two perl books, but they assume I know everything about programming [21:25] ik concepts like assigning variables and etc from when i programmed (limited) in c++ [21:25] that is done, the test works, but sound doesnt [21:25] does anyone know a way to listen to itunes shared libraries on ubuntu? [21:25] violento, ubuntu-es [21:25] !es [21:25] 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. [21:25] burning doesnt work [21:25] tlchack5: what Titan8990 said. u might want to google a book called "Dive into Python" [21:25] whoops changin name to something132 [21:25] Schuenemann: something maybe has locked the server up === kayetanadmin is now known as something132 [21:26] there is no selection for my device with anything other than alsa mixer [21:26] changed [21:26] :P [21:26] martin__, ubottu makes it so much quicker ;) [21:26] what is emacs? [21:26] ok as i said burning isnt working [21:26] fyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [21:26] can i type the sudo command in terminal to download it? [21:26] tangentcollision, I have no experience with perl, but I do know that is syntax is very different from most languages, perl typically isn't recommended for beginners but is a very useful language [21:26] HLM11: can you click the dropdown and take a screenshot and paste it at www.imagebin.ca -- (to do a screenshot hit the print screen key then name it) [21:26] does anyone know a way to listen to itunes shared libraries on ubuntu? [21:26] which dropdown do you want? [21:27] tlchack5, EMACS= electronics, mathematics, and computer science [21:27] oh, is it aprogram? [21:27] nvm, lol ill google it =P [21:27] HLM11: the first one should be the one for the main sound- though I can't understand why the test works but then no sound (do you get sound at sites like youtube?) [21:27] tlchack5, it allows you to have syntax highlighting text editor in compination with a interactive python shell [21:27] oh cool [21:27] tlchack5, it should be available in the repositories [21:27] Hi... during some shutdown attempts there is a popup saying that an application is still running. How can I find out what it is? [21:28] alright, thank you very much =] i appreciate the help [21:28] tlchack5, np [21:28] ok i am not sure whether it helps but the file i am burning is an AVI [21:28] HLM11: find the volume control right click on it choose prefernces -- then set it for OSS (could be the volume is muted) though should be muted in the test- [21:28] zamarax: banshee, rhythmbox, Amarok, aTunes don't work? [21:28] !itunes | zamarax [21:28] zamarax: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [21:28] no, I read that itunes recently blocked a bunch of programs [21:29] zamarax, that is very possible.... [21:29] I got a problem with 8.04 HH, as of a few weeks ago my removable media stopped automounting. MMC cards, USB disks, CD rom drive and SAMBA shares. I can still mount them manually with sudo mount so its not a hardware issue. If I log into Gnome as root then the automounting works. I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool. Any Ideas? here are my... [21:29] zamarax: wow that sucks. [21:29] ...subsystem logs http://paste.ubuntu.com/117863/ [21:29] zamarax: wine [21:29] hi [21:29] yeah, I mean, I know it's not a ubuntu / linux issue, stupid apple blocking other programs [21:29] !welcome | mohan43u [21:29] mohan43u: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.

When I type netstat, I see that I've got many connected ports... Please look at that http://pastebin.com/m5a2050f0 thanks in advance for any tips :) [21:30] I've searched for that as well, and as far as I can tell it doesn't [21:30] zamarax, I have heard of people running windows VMs just for itunes.... [21:30] anyone helping me with my problem? [21:30] zamarax, its unfortunate, ipods are a good product.... [21:30] Evilrick, i have the same problem.... perhaps add the drive to the /etc/mtab? [21:30] burning problem [21:30] how do I add something to the PATH on ubuntu? [21:30] ahh, damn, that is what I don't want to do, but thanks for the insight, I just didn't know if I was missing something [21:31] people???? [21:31] ok i am going to #alsa [21:31] something132: I had some issues with Brasero when I ran 8.10 but I installed gnomebaker and it worked like a charm-- I would start with that first. [21:32] i think it is to do with the AVI files? [21:32] http://imagebin.ca/view/pGg6vNX.html [21:32] that is the dropdown requested [21:32] benc, you have to edit your: ~/.bashrc [21:32] HLM11: it is listed there-- OSS [21:32] redvamp128: gnome breaker? [21:33] Out_Cold: yeah I can do that but its not really a solution [21:33] benc, add something like this: export PATH='$PATH:/new/path/here' [21:33] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. [21:33] Titan8990: will it apply only to the user editing the ./bashrc? [21:33] kronicKoH: Gnomebaker (the cd./dvd burning utility) [21:33] I get that when I attempt to test sound with just OSS [21:33] ahh [21:33] Titan8990: I've read something about /etc/environment [21:33] benc, correct, global path changes take place in /etc/profile [21:33] Out_Cold: the worse thing is it stops me from browsing the network [21:33] Titan8990: /etc/profile is empty [21:33] regular ALSA works though.. [21:33] Titan8990, why doesn't this damn apache stop? :-/ [21:34] benc, odd.... ubuntu changes things up from the classic linux set up [21:34] Evilrick, yea.. i came asking for a solution a few weeks ago. but i just mount in the shell === Dad` is now known as Dad`Film [21:34] Schuenemann, have never had the issue.... does it error when you attempt to stop it? [21:34] HLM11: so it is just when you run wine you get that issue? or does other sounds work? I would also try the plain OSS with a test (without the MP3+) [21:34] Titan8990, no, it says ok [21:34] hello [21:34] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. with just OSS [21:35] Titan8990: sorry it's not empty but it doesn't have something that looks like path [21:35] this is with everything, right now im 'not' listening to a youtube video [21:35] I have a very simple question that i cant seem to get answered.

[21:35] Hello. I've been having a ton of trouble getting Ubuntu to load past a certain point. I just get an rc-default error. [21:35] Titan8990, http://pastebin.com/m3e291fa [21:35] i downloaded it but dont seem to know how to get Oo to use it [21:35] Titan8990: can I just add export at the end of /etc/profile? the reason I'm asking is because I'm not sure if the path should be for root or only the user [21:36] HLM11: I haven't used OSS in a long time-- though Strange how it works in the test but not in the os... [21:36] I have them all set on ALSA right now..

[21:42] Schuenemann: I thought you might, but when I searched the package archive, I got no hits that matched that! [21:42] evilGUI: yes, i think so [21:42] Schuenemann: So I assumed I'd mis-remembered [21:43] . [21:43] evilGUI: you might need to restart denyhosts [21:43] ANY VMWare' ers in here?

[22:08] want a torrent client wich one is available @apt-get [22:08] ? [22:09] azureus [22:09] i'd say.. all of them? [22:09] gump^, transmission is installed by default. There's also delugo [22:09] deluge* [22:09] whats a good website for tv tuner broadcasting? [22:09] transmission not installed by default.. [22:09] Which is similar to utorrent [22:09] Actually, I'm guessing. I can't believe it isn't, though. [22:09] not on my os [22:10] rtorrent is nice too [22:10] gump^: transmission is installed by default in ubuntu [22:10] i will try azureus, thnx Renfield [22:10] azureus is bloated IMO [22:10] is anyone good with wireless network setups? [22:10] porter1: Yea, I think you are right. [22:10] gordonjcp: that i know. i use acer one with kuki dist [22:10] It's written in Java :P [22:11] is there a way to see/manage all installed FONTS [22:11] Oh, Acer One is a hot little netbook. [22:11] I got introduced just yesterday. [22:11] does flashplayer work with the 64 bit version of Ubuntu [22:11] Should raid array appear as /dev/md or is that just for software raids only? [22:11] Vuze (formerly Azureus) is way too much fat for a usable bittorrent client use Transmission. [22:11] HowardNabe, yes, but it can have some instability issues [22:11] Yeah, vuze somehow became completely over...bloated [22:12] HowardNabe, yeah, i have it working, but its a tiny bit buggy in that sometimes after lots of use i have to restart firefox [22:12] I can not get it to work [22:12] gump^: or rtorrent if you like text-based apps [22:12] Didn't expect Azureus to become like that :3 [22:12] HowardNabe: There's a speical 64-bit build of flash at Adobe's lab site that you can use. [22:12] IF you want something that's slightly better than transmisson, though, try deluge! [22:12] Thanks [22:12] only 9" lcd here =) i cant cath up! =) wich torrent is the one i shall use.. not text-based [22:12] ? [22:12] Adobe's lab web site [22:12] gump^: try them all and pick the one you like most :) [22:12] the controller is Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID [22:12] +1 porter1, deluge is actually a pretty darn good client [22:13] It's basically uTorrent [22:13] guys, I have a long text file with doc9c.cn
mzz: guess i could but i am like beta testing for now [22:13] =) [22:13] Is there any utility for making a multi-boot CD? Such as loading Gparted, DBAN, etc. on one CD? [22:13] GodFather, DBAN can be emulated [22:13] anyway thanx [22:14] and a lot of liveCDs have gparted these days [22:14] Im trying to get more dependent on the command line so can anyone say what command I use to list what /dev/xxx mount points are on my system.Know what I mean? [22:14] HowardNabe: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html remember that the 64-bit version is considered Alpha version.

[22:14] do i need special software to mount mdf (alcohol120%) files ? [22:14] Thanks again [22:14] GodfatherofEire, , yeah you can use dd to do what DBAN does [22:14] HowardNabe: If you really need Flash for more that YouTube and some simple action script then use a 32-bit browser. [22:14] I think knoppix has the rest [22:15] I.e., if I needed to diagnose a system, I'd be using Hiren's Boot CD, Gparted, and DBAN [22:15] trouble with DBAN is it relies on an older kernel [22:15] whats a good website for tv tuner broadcasting? [22:15] will the 32 bit browser run on 64 bit Linux? [22:15] HowardNabe: yes [22:15] HowardNabe: Yeah [22:15] HowardNabe, 32bit and 64bit are compatible [22:15] OK well Perhaps I will try that first [22:16] HowardNabe: You'll need to add the 32-bit libs. [22:16] ia32-libs will let you use 32-bit apps [22:16] please can someone help me [22:16] Ummmmm hirens is mostly warez, perhaps you should use UBCD instead? [22:16] redline5653, how can we help you? [22:16] redline, just ask [22:17] Geek`N`Proud, I.e., if I needed to diagnose a system, I'd be using Hiren's Boot CD, Gparted, and DBAN, and anythin else I can think of that would be helpful [22:17] HowardNabe: The 63-bit flash player works for YouTube and most sites I've been to but there has been one or two so far that have cause firefox to crash. [22:17] **63-bit [22:17] i need someone to help me connect to my wireless network it wont accept the key at all [22:17] **64-bit Hard to type with cat in lap. [22:17] GodfatherofEire, try using knoppix too [22:17] :] [22:17] knoppix is a full OS on a livecd [22:17] it is great for detecting hardware [22:18] Geek`N`Proud, I know that, but I mean I need BIOS diagnosic utils as well [22:18] Ultimate Boot CD and INSERT are generally what I use [22:18] you boot it and lspci && lsusb shows a lot === rambo3 is now known as joomla_user [22:18] GodFatherofEire, look on the PhoenixBIOS site [22:18] Alright [22:18] there's a lot of pirated stuff on hirens which makes me feel 'dirty' using it [22:18] Is it not possible to run compiz in a linux guest on VM? b/c opengl is still not supported? [22:18] I have no such reservations [22:19] i installed a new .so in my lib folder, what's the ld command to "refresh"? [22:19] Hello. I've reinstalled my Ubuntu system. The installation did not recognise my encrypted /home partition so I leaved it untouched and proceed with the installation. Now the system is installed but I don't know how to configure it to use my encrypted home. Please help. [22:19] fatbrain ldconfig [22:19] hey, I want to launch an application and send the output to a text file, how can i do it? [22:19] nightrid3r: ah, thanks a bunch [22:19] dmulholland: app > text_file [22:20] 1) I've got Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) on 8.10 and no sound. [22:20] (lspci) [22:20] still trying to get xvidcap or istanbul or recordmydesktop to work... could my ATI drivers be causing problems? in xvidcap I always max out the fps and it dies... ONE time it worked at 10fps. I have a dedicated 256MB gfx card... and a sufficient processor (dual core intel). Any ideas? Should I try removing the ATI proprietary drivers? [22:21] naxa, is it a relatively new motherboard... like a home-build? [22:21] I am using compiz, but I've tried these apps without compiz enabled and it's the same prob. [22:21] Well, even then is there any way to have multiple bootables on one CD? Kind of like GRUB, only with CD's instead of HDDs? [22:21] Hey guys, when I try to run or install Ubuntu, my monitor reads 'out of range.' [22:21] How can I fix this? [22:22] can anyone recommend games that work well with a wacom tablet? [22:22] is there a GUI for editing grub in ubuntu? [22:22] rdw200169, no, it is an older dell, gx-260 to be preciese [22:22] rdw200169, no modifications made. maybe some config error but i don't know how to start. [22:23] erUSUL: what if im trying to do - time app > textfile - will that work? [22:23] naxa, hmm... i don't know then... ubuntu usually does *really* well w/AC'97 audio controllers [22:23] Question, I have a PC that crashed, I am used LiveCD to put Linux onto the system so that I can take my family pictures off of the hard drive. I am unable to mount the drive though. Any place to find support on this topic. I found a place on the internet describing it but I cant get it to work. http://www.technixupdate.com/mount-ntfs-fat32-windows-drive-in-ubuntu/ [22:23] naxa, the reason i asked is because many motherboards have both AC'97 and Digital Audio, and you can switch what kind it uses in the BIOS [22:23] dmulholland: you want the output of time or the output of app in the log file [22:23] ? [22:24] erUSUL: the output of time mainly - the app doesnt output anything :) [22:24] rdw200169, i see... dunno if that's the case. full story is that i had this ubuntu as 7.10 on a hp laptop. laptop dead but hdd saved along with ubuntu. I just started from usb and updated to ->8.04->8.10 and now sound is gone. unfortunately i don't know if it worked on the new computer in the first hand... i said to the installer to overwrite everything. [22:24] Is it possible to give the Windows key a function in Ubuntu? [22:25] Royall, absolutley. [22:25] rdw200169, i mean i actually *updated*, not reinstalled, with the alternate cd, and said to overwrite menu.lst blacklist and etc. [22:25] naxa, ahhh, i see! [22:25] itachi: how would I give the Windows key a function in Ubuntu? [22:25] rdw200169, now i think maybe this is somehow a config issue, but i dont know how. [22:25] hi all !! [22:25] naxa, my experience has been that there are some scripts that run at some point during the installation that 'sets' all the config files for hardward [22:25] naxa, hardware** [22:26] do i need special software to mount mdf (alcohol120%) files ? [22:26] naxa, you could try a dpkg-reconfigure on alsa... [22:26] HI aykutcan [22:26] Hello. I've reinstalled my Ubuntu system. The installation did not recognise my encrypted /home partition so I leaved it untouched and proceed with the installation. Now the system is installed but I don't know how to configure it to use my encrypted home. Please help. [22:26] rdw200169, ok thanks, i will do that now. just a minute... [22:26] !welcome | aykutcan [22:26] aykutcan: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [22:26] naxa, and see if you can't get ubuntu to retry setting up the audio, because it thinks, according to the alsa config files, that its audio card is from the laptop [22:26] thanks [22:27] naxa, and, generally, updates won't redetect hardware [22:27] aykutcan: Don't trust them .. they are bots.. === kronicKoH is now known as RussellAlan [22:27] naxa, the config file replacement is only for situations when you *change* config files, and the installer wants to update them for a new version [22:27] :) i know [22:27] naxa: download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh, save it to your Desktop, run it as a bash script in a terminal, and tell me the url the script generates [22:27] dtchen, ok one minute [22:28] rdw200169, i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base and alsa-utils... should i restart x or something? (after i finished alsa info) [22:28] naxa, you can try: /etc/init.d/alsa restart [22:28] haha [22:28] naxa, alsa-utils [22:29] erUSUL: the output of time mainly - the app doesnt output anything :) [22:29] Douglas_Nessmith, Do you have a USB stick that you can use to save those files ? I think the Live CD can do that for you .. but the CD system is not is, iirc, actually mounted [22:29] hello [22:30] rdw200169, dtchen sound problem is solved, thank you for your help!!! :) i've got another problem. :) where can i check if my graphic card supports opengl? now ubuntu says me that no opengl. the card is ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF [22:30] ` [22:30] naxa, wow, that's an old card! [22:31] hey, i have my computer running linux hooked up to the internet via a hub plugged into my laptops wifi card via a crossover cable. is there a way to share the printer my laptop (running vista) has with my computer running linux? [22:31] rdw200169, it was hard to find something that fits in this very compact house [22:31] rdw200169, this actually came with another dell === opr is now known as phenner [22:32] dmulholland: ok time can do it... use "time -o log.txt program" === phenner is now known as opr [22:33] rdw200169, i think this card seems quite lame. :) [22:33] Hey ALL: [22:33] aanyone wanna do some research on kubuntu running on a TC4400 [22:33] erUSUL: thanks, didnt think of looking for that, should have [22:33] Greetings Earthlings... [22:33] naxa, gimme a sec, i'm googling [22:33] rdw200169, ok thank you! :) [22:33] can you change the size of the icons on the desktop? the pdf is HUGE.. [22:33] Can anyone dare to ask some questions? *Like can I ask some auestions about Ubuntu? [22:33] !ask | eeheh [22:33] eeheh: 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. :-) [22:34] Anybody got a clue how to compile the source from a tomtom to make a Ubuntu executable? [22:34] eeheh, yea got a good question? [22:34] flint_: are you using the tomtom source for gps on the pc? [22:35] erUSUL: time -o not working... [22:35] naxa, hmm... i don't thing you're gonna get any luck, that's a very old card!: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3940 [22:35] erUSUL: although man time is telling me it should [22:36] Hi [22:36] Hello :) [22:36] hi [22:36] I want the bar at the bottom like that in MacOS [22:36] dmulholland: i suspect bash has built in time that is getting in the way use /usr/bin/time -o log.txt appname [22:36] gidna, try awn [22:37] I just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. It is running fine but I'd like to tweak some xorg settings. [22:37] naxa, http://www.x.org/wiki/r128 [22:37] strange things are happening here.. yesterday and day before all of sudden gnome restarted itself, and also yesterday and now my theme got replaced by other theme... can anyone help me find cause for this behavior? [22:37] rdw200169, in this forum, troutrou says that his ubuntu managed to enable 3d on this card. well. [22:37] dmulholland: sometimes shells s**k [22:37] erUSUL: that's a good idea, will have a look [22:37] for some reason my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is empty [22:37] naxa, that's the driver that will work, i think [22:37] erUSUL: yeah /usr/bin/time is working, time to add an alias :D [22:37] rdw200169, how can i change my driver? [22:37] gidna, http://awn-project.org/ [22:38] You see, I installed Ubuntu *forgot version* a long time ago, and set it on being dual/boot. However a virus came around for windows, and while I was on windows, apprently fiddled around with ubuntu, because I could not start it anymore. Anyways, I got rid of the virus and the pc went good, until today, the windows just freezed at the login thingy, and the only way to acces it (Like i\m doing now,| Is secure mode. Anyways, so I formatted the ol [22:38] #join ubuntuusers [22:38] naxa, 8.10, right? [22:38] rdw200169, right - that's why i ask [22:38] write stuff, but I got nothing out of that. So I went and restarted my pc and went into safe mode to search for help, and here I am. [22:38] rdw200169, i heard that there is something new with xorg lately in this field... i dunno if it autodetects or what. [22:38] naxa, chances are, there isn't even a Xorg.conf file, but since you've done some upgrades, it may still be around [22:38] eeheh, you should do a dist-upgrade [22:38] Can anyone tell me what the command is to see if my windows hard drive is hd1,0 or something else ? [22:39] ? [22:39] rdw200169, should i delete instance of xorg.conf [22:39] ? [22:39] porter1 have I to be in 3d mode? [22:39] eeheh, ive found the easiest answer to windows virus problems to be making the switch to ubuntu =) [22:39] naxa, but, honestly, i have to stop here, b/c i'm still on 8.04 [22:39] erUSUL: thanks for the help [22:39] sigjuice: xorg auto-configs now, but xorg.conf is still read put your old one there if auto-config doesn't work perfectly [22:39] dmulholland: no problem [22:39] gidna, what do you mean? [22:39] linux_guy, need some malware to make you feel at home? :P [22:39] naxa, you will probably need it! if it's there, it uses it, if it's not, it auto-detects [22:39] [how] can I use an ubuntu CD image on a bootable USB drive? [22:39] Robingraves sudo blkid [22:39] gidna, I don't think it uses opengl, but I,'m not sure [22:40] You'll just have to try and find out [22:40] NFischer: Thankyou [22:40] rdw200169, then i should write the driver name there as usual? [22:40] Geek`N`Proud, i searched for a whole day looking for antivirus, antispyware /malware protection for ubuntu === payko is now known as |_payko_| [22:40] Whoa, the virus itself was pretty obibious, a pink looking squid. Besides i\m not asking for some holy grale to completly rid of windows forever, I\m just wondering how I should do to get ubuntu working. And get rid of the dual boot wich I installed long time ago. [22:40] RussellAlan you got it in one. I am trying to compile the source for Markus Hoffmann's log2itn [22:40] couldnt believe the lack of availability.... then i realized [22:40] eeheh, blow it all away and install ubuntu again [22:40] So I can install it normally *I have ubuntu on a dvd. [22:40] a pink squid virus? [22:41] smss.exe, a creepy bastards. [22:41] eeheh, a pink squid? [22:41] naxa, yes, make sure you have the driver installed: xserver-xorg-video-ati [22:41] could someone tell me how to get my mycomputer icon on the desktop? [22:41] Yhe it had that as a icon. [22:41] *eeheh has been smoking something with spongebob [22:41] TruthTaco, the easiest way to do that is using ubuntu-tweak [22:41] durt: I can't seem to set a resolution larger than 800x600 and glxinfo reports AGP 1x instead of 2x [22:41] ah thanks [22:41] So how I can format the Ubuntu partion, and get rid of the dual boot so I can install it |normally| [22:41] ? [22:41] sigjuice: card? [22:41] linux_guy, antivir is available with dazuko for on-access scanning [22:42] eeheh, you need to work on your mbr right? [22:42] eeheh, explain more of your situation and what you want to do, please [22:42] eeheh, when you instal, it will allow you to [22:42] rdw200169, i thought i need r128 ?? [22:42] Geek`N`Proud, whats the point? [22:42] linux_guy: there IS a McAfee VirusScan for Linux too [22:42] yesterday and day before all of sudden gnome restarted itself, and yesterday and now my theme got replaced by other theme... can anyone help me find cause for this behavior? [22:42] naxa, yeah, that's where the driver is [22:42] dazuko is a bit a bitch when it comes to actually using it. [22:42] Geek`N`Proud, all those scan for windows viruses [22:42] linux_guy, to protect against viruses getting in your Wine? :P [22:42] Always recompile the kernel to ensure it really works. [22:42] rdw200169, i have "xserver-xorg-video-ati" and the same with "-video-r128" [22:43] Oh and btw. conflikting modules an the like all the way. [22:43] lets get eeheh fixed up, im interested in his problem [22:43] naxa, well, that's where it is on 8.04... but just make you have it first ;) [22:43] gotta love 8.04 [22:43] durt: according to lspci, ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x [22:43] eeheh, do you want an all ubuntu machine? all windows? dual boot? vmware? how do you want to do it? [22:43] rdw200169, :) [22:43] First I had windows. And a linux/obbsesive friend got my to install ubuntu. So I tried it. Ran it for a day and then tought. Na I\ll play my games. Now tonight, my windows got it\s head scrambled, like it hada injection of Opium or something. So it freezes at when I try to login, I get to see the icons and all that shit. [22:43] methodmarvel, yeah, but i can't have the gnome-do dock for 0.8 :( [22:44] So I tought, hey let\s start ubuntu again! [22:44] yeah - rwd - I was trying to install that for AGES [22:44] couldn't figure it out [22:44] does ubuntu work? [22:44] nope [22:44] So I tried to start it, but apprently after I had got that smss.exe virus away from windows, my Ubuntu got suckzord, it coulnd\t find files etc when I tried to boot it. So I tought, hell no my ass. So I went and donwloaded ubuntu. [22:44] eekek the problem is either a bootloder specific one or your NTFS/FAT32 drive for Win got messed up. [22:45] I have some problem with sinaptyc..anyone could help me? some dependecies problems [22:45] And formatted my G drive. [22:45] normally Win can fix this on boot up with chkdsk [22:45] Now, the dual boot was still left in there. [22:45] naxa, i have all kinds of crazy stuff in my xorg.conf, and when i upgrade (one day) i'm gonna keep it, b/c i have dual monitors etc... [22:45] rdw200169, does it make sense if i write this line into the otherwise almost empty 'section "Device"': Driver "r128"? [22:45] And I installed ubuntu later on on my G drive again, and restarted the comp. === user___ is now known as zawa [22:45] rdw200169, fortunately this thing makes backups of itself [22:45] eeheh, how many drives you got in this machine? [22:45] at least for me [22:46] Tried to start windows normally, as usual it hang up right at the spot, so I tried to go into ubuntu tru the Dual boot, wich I saw a ubuntu loading screen, you know the orange looking loader. [22:46] I got 2 Hdd. [22:46] eeheh, what do you want to do? how do you want to set it up? do you want to dual boot still? [22:46] naxa, never *ever* trust that, make your own backups of what works well! (that's been my motto, and its saved me several upon several times) [22:46] eeheh I recommend you to use Ubuntu ONLY with seperated ext3 "partitions". Get rid of everything else. A fresh install will help. [22:46] eeheh, did you make a standard workstation boot CD? [22:46] rdw200169, that's a _very_ good motto. [22:46] I got Ubuntu 8.10 burned to a dvd disk. [22:46] eeheh, i agree with aquina [22:47] rdw200169, i was dead a couple of times 'couse i didn't follow that :) [22:47] eeheh, are you pretty new to gnu/linux/ubuntu? [22:47] Yes. [22:47] seems so :-) [22:47] rdw200169, this should make you become practiced in configuring, however... [22:47] rdw200169, this is only in theory :) [22:47] rdw200169, hold on a sec, now I'll try and restart xorg [22:47] Has anyone here installed openGEU? [22:48] I just wanna remove that bitchy dual boot, so I can boot the dvd disk, install ubuntu to that partion, then make it set a new dual boot. [22:48] do yourself a favor if you are serious about it and get this FREE ebook download [22:48] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/free-download-ubuntu-pocket-guide-and-reference.html [22:48] A few days ago I wrote a few lines of code to make my wireless driver and I pasted them into a file, which I believe was rclocal [22:48] I can't remember what directory that was in [22:48] And now my wireless card isn't starting on boot [22:48] eeheh When booting from that DVD you created choose the Live CD option (boot Ubuntu) then klick on the installer icon on the desktop after it has sucessfully loaded. [22:48] rdw200169, in any case, if i never return, thank you for your help - you we're a great friend. see you - later. ;) [22:48] Can someone tell me how to get back there to those startup files [22:48] naxa, ah, good luck! [22:48] eeheh, the ticket here is to do a manual partition. The DVD boots you into Ubuntu? [22:48] mikeshollen, what version? [22:48] 8.04 [22:48] how do I connect my xp machine to an ubuntu share via samba? [22:49] rdw200169, I will be BACK! :) [22:49] naxa, and if its any consolation, x.org now has a very reliable safe start mode-thing [22:49] eeheh you can boot from DVD no matter what's on your HDD's [22:49] naxa, so if xorg.conf fails, it goes to safe mode, which is just the vesa driver [22:49] I uninstalled ubuntu, now. Tru WIndows secure mode, how do I remove Dual boot? [22:49] So it becomes Normal. [22:49] Go into your BIOS and select a CD-ROM for boot. Or try pressing F11 or something like that on system startup [22:49] eeheh: fixmbr from recovery mode of windows [22:49] mbr is what? [22:49] master boot record [22:49] maste boot record [22:50] eeheh, if you want to go back to a total window boot fdisk /fixmbr [22:50] eeheh: ask in ##windows for more info [22:50] GL in that chan [22:50] Is that the one thing that holding the somewhat looking corrupted dual boot? [22:50] rdw200169, oh, i think i've seen that a couple of times. i also saw a few times when even that wasn't enough safe. poor xorg. :) [22:50] eeheh I think though you've got more probs than mbr. [22:50] rdw200169, ok, i'll restart now. bye. [22:50] How can I display the result of a terminal command straight in the Gnome Panel? [22:50] eeheh, get that pdf for reference and dont forget to use the forum [22:51] ccchatzilla, hmm,,, that's an interesting question, you could try something with libnotify + python [22:51] anyone awake? [22:51] nos, eeheh the mbr is a tiny part on your hdd which takes care of operating system boot in some way. Use fasbot or metager or cuil to search for an article discussin' that matter. [22:51] eeheh, Does the windows partition work when you hit and select the windows boot selection? [22:51] * Aquina ,Stelbent! :-) [22:52] ccchatzilla, libnotify has a dbus instance you can use to make popups show up on you display [22:52] Warning: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. [22:52] When I choose to boot Windows, it loads, I get to login screen, I login, la la la, sloooow loading, I get to my detoskop with the icons. And then it just loads nearly to nothing, Only allowing me to click on icons and move my mouse. [22:52] I can't run awn [22:52] what have I to do? [22:52] ccchatzilla, like that annoying 'your system has updates available' popup [22:52] I made som updates yesterday, now I cant get my wifi working. Runing Intrepid Ibex on Acer aspire one [22:52] Sometimes I don\t even get as far as it starts loading from when I login. [22:53] eeheh, can you boot your windows CD? [22:53] eeheh this i probably a M$ Windows spec. problem then. [22:53] Here\s the big big problem. I lost my windows cd. [22:53] He he he. [22:53] *lol* [22:53] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13) [22:53] I can see that being a bit of a problem, yeah. [22:53] anyone? [22:53] Ok I'm a bad girl -- I know" [22:54] What's up Stelbent? [22:54] can anyone recommend a good color picker for web developers? [22:54] eeheh, why keep windows anyway? [22:54] How's the weather in Norway? [22:54] eeheh, what version did you "loose"? [22:54] Aquina, not too good :) [22:54] :-) [22:54] !offtopic | Aquina [22:54] Aquina: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:54] Aquina, -20c and lots of snow =) [22:54] hi guys, I'm looking for a tool to put the live CD image into a USB Drive. cany anybody help me? [22:55] hello, is there a way to list all display drivers installed? [22:55] Uiii... [22:55] Because I wanna play Counter/strike, be able to do my VB homework I get from school. Play alot of steam games, and use windows movie maker. [22:55] kapace_laptop, dpkg --get-selections xserver-xorg-video* [22:55] hi. i want to back up my MBR. which device should i use? [22:55] rdw200169, thanks [22:55] eeheh, again, what windows version did you "loose"? [22:56] durt: according to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, ATI Rage 128 Mobility M3 LF (AGP) (ChipID = 0x4c46) [22:56] hm. Nevertheless it seams like you Windows OS is corrupt. This is not a Ubuntu or bootloader problem as I already mentioned, eeheh. [22:56] what drive is /dev/sg0, usually? [22:56] eeheh, what version of the CD did you have? [22:56] kapace_laptop, that doesn't get the restricted drivers, though, like nvidia and fglrx [22:56] An very old Dell cd with Windows XP Service pack 1. [22:56] 32 bit version. [22:56] rdw200169, but i can change the command for that? [22:56] eeheh, go download a new version and burn it to a cd [22:56] nevermind. [22:57] Is the windows cd required to fix the damned mbr? [22:57] eeheh, no [22:57] you can find the recovery console somewhere from microsoft [22:57] I do not have a cd rom drive [22:57] eeheh: if "fix" means you want to reinstall windows' boot loader [22:57] sigjuice: sorry got caught up helping someone else.

[22:59] rdw200169, i actually has an integrated graphics card. can i found out what's that, with this ati still in operation (eg. right now)? [22:59] icui2i: you can make it the same [22:59] maco: still miss the desktop area [22:59] icui2i: if you right click it you can add that :P [22:59] naxa, yeah, you can actually use both w/different monitors, etc... but that requires a more advance xorg.conf config... not *impossible* ;) [23:00] * linux_guy downloads tuxracer out of curiosity [23:00] rdw200169, i installed ati in the agp slot 'couse i tried to install osx (experimentally) and it said that it needs an ati card. :) [23:00] icui2i: im not in gnome right now, but there are widgets you can add to that panel for Display Desktop, Window Picker, Workspace Switcher, and Trash [23:00] is anyone here using irssi? [23:00] maco: what kind of applets do I choose to do that? [23:00] Right now, I don\t want to format my windows, i\m only intrested in fixing the mbr. I.e removing the Dual boot that ubuntu asked if I wanted to create when I installed ubuntu for the first time. [23:00] zawazawa: me [23:00] rdw200169, I see. :) but where can i see the type of the card? lspci's info doesn't showd me any sense (even if it was actually) [23:00] icui2i: just look through the list. the names should be similar to the names i said [23:00] zawazawa: Yes, why [23:00] eeheh, you're probably going to have to reinstall the OS [23:00] does anyone know how i can show the passwords in the gnome password manager? [23:01] how do I connect my Windows machine to Ubuntu? [23:01] Imaginativeone, install samba, read documentation [23:01] anyone uses apt-build??

[23:01] eeheh: for more details as in ##windows [23:01] erUSUL, he has no cd [23:01] irssi [23:01] ah [23:01] I don\t have any windows cd at all. I lost it. [23:01] eeheh: dont need to get rid of GRUB to get rid of the dual boot... [23:01] can you use /list ? [23:01] it doesn't seem to do anything [23:02] do i need special software to mount mdf (alcohol120%) files ? [23:02] eeheh: bah Brunellus isn't on, but his brother's laptop uses GRUB with Windows, just because the kid likes GRUB but not ubuntu [23:02] Hello. Is anyone familiar with Blender and/or 3ds?

Yay. Let's see what magic we can do here. [23:05] naxa, somewhere in your menu there may be an app that shows you a windows-ish layout of your hardware [23:05] my dad and step mom decided they wanted Ubuntu on this slow machine and when i ran the live CD i had some wireless issues.... could some one assist me in finding the easiest way to set this wireless card up? [23:05] naxa, but i don't know, on 8.04 i installed a kde app for that b/c i couldn't find it [23:05] nightrid3r: I am not sure if a fresh ubuntu installation is able to mount mdf files, but you can convert the mdf file into iso format and then mount the .iso http://ubuntuexperiences.wordpress.com/2006/12/13/mounting-mdf-images/ [23:06] need assistance with removing a non-empty folder on my desktop, please help [23:06] oh cool [23:06] maco: thank you..worked fine =) [23:06] naxa, try this: gnome-device-manager [23:06] I think there are also tools to mount mdf files directly, but I dont how they are called [23:06] strange.. lspci reported it to be a broadcom but Windows reports it to be a Linksys [23:07] i was working with Full visual effects enabled. when i played video. it flickers so i changed to normal. then now i cannot enable the visual effects. pls help [23:07] meoblast, that's b/c linksys cards always use broadcom chipsets [23:07] Is it safe to delete the "Microsoft Windows XP Embedded" option from the GRUB menu.lst? [23:07] vishnu: oh that's easy to fix..... open a terminal and type "compiz --replace" [23:07] erUSUL: thanks I'll have to read up on how to use that [23:07] Hi [23:07] vishnu: sometimes with non-nVidia cards it will false report whether compiz can be started [23:08] whats a "superspace" [23:08] naxa, yeah, i just installed that, its very good [23:08] vishnu: if that doesnt work, X server must be restarted [23:08] I don't like awn so I removed it.. but I don't have anymore the classic bar at the bottom.. [23:08] meoblast: ok wait. i will test [23:08] rdw200169: are there drivers for those or must i use ndiswrapper? [23:08] How can I reput it? [23:08] that one with the show desktop.. [23:08] I copied the recovery tool over to the boot thingy, let\s see if it works. I will return later. Thanks and bye. [23:09] hi [23:09] meoblast, it's iffy, depends on exactly what chipset you have [23:10] rdw200169, ah. sometimes one cannot understand, why aren't some compnents are installed by default. [23:10] meoblast: i tried 'compiz --replace'. still cannot enable effects [23:10] rdw200169: how can i find out.. i'm not good with WIndows and Ubuntu off live CD could take a while to boot on this machien (plus there's no network in ubuntu on here) [23:10] meoblast: when i tried it says 'Desktop effects could not be enabled' [23:11] meoblast, do you have a 'restricted drivers available' icon whatzit in your taskbar? [23:11] vishnu: pastebin me the terminal output [23:11] rdw200169: no [23:11] naxa, yeah, i agree, a hardware profile app is very useful! [23:11] meoblast: ok [23:11] rdw200169: although there are nVidia drivers on this machine [23:11] rdw200169: i mean an nVidia card [23:12] my notebook doesnt have cdrom drive. anybody can tell me how to boot the livecd from a USB pendrive? [23:12] Andry_Afk: one second i'll get you a link [23:12] need help with removing a non-empty folder on my desktop [23:12] rdw200169, yeah. however, i can't see my other vga here... but there is an unknown device on the "host bridge". could it be that...? [23:12] durt: thanks for your help. I tracked this to bug 284309 and fixed my problem. [23:12] Quick question: I have made a 4.7 gb dvd image, and I need to transfer it via internet to one person. What is the fastest most reliable way of doing this? Torrent? === enrique is now known as [EmPeRoR] [23:13] Andry_Afk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [23:13] naxa, it's possible, you may want to google your machine model w/ubuntu to see if its a kernel problem [23:13] yeah === LHC is now known as LH[ [23:13] !files [23:13] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview === endeavormac|afk is now known as endeavormac [23:13] meoblast: http://pastebin.com/mc978ac4 [23:13] naxa, you gotta admit, though: gnome-device-manager is pretty darn useful! [23:14] HLM11: you can not sdo it with the file manager? [23:14] no [23:14] HLM11: error msg? [23:14] !details | HLM11 [23:14] HLM11: 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 ..." [23:14] rdw200169, i admit it. :) it really is. [23:14] only root has access to it and sudo + --ignore doesnt work [23:14] vishnu: you have an Intel chip? [23:14] vishnu: for your GPU? [23:14] HLM11: sudo rm -r folder/ [23:14] I was trying to install vmware server and I got the rpm and tried converting with alien [23:14] rdw200169, still wondering why wasn't enough space for 144 kb in that cd image. [23:15] meoblast: no ATI [23:15] Can compiz get along with video files yet in 8.10? [23:15] rdw200169: how would i find which chipset this this wireless device has in it from windows? [23:15] alien might convert the package but the insides are not guaranteed to work [23:15] ok, its gone thanks [23:15] naxa, meh, who knows? i'm sure there was a heated debate over removing it... but i don't feel like pouring through the launchpad to find out why [23:15] meoblast: i have ATI chipset [23:15] vishnu: well ATI and Intel use similar interfaces for drivers..... sadly... the only way to fix that is restart X as far as i know.... [23:16] meoblast, well, you can use lspci or lsusb depending on how it's plugged in [23:16] vishnu: in other words... save work... close programs..... Control + Alt + Backspace [23:16] rdw200169, linux people sometimes do very strange decisions. or at least very strange for me. [23:16] meoblast: you mean restart the system [23:16] linux_guy: the problem isn't compiz, it's your video driver, so the answer to that question depends on your video driver as it always has [23:16] rdw200169: from windows? [23:16] rdw200169: lshw [23:16] erUSUL, thanks [23:16] rdw200169: it would take a good 15 minutes to get back into the live cd [23:16] rdw200169: and a good 10 to get back into windows [23:16] meoblast, ah, do you know what the model number of the card is? [23:17] Hi [23:17] rdw200169: yes i have it from System Info [23:17] meoblast, like "linksys wrt54g v.10" or something [23:17] rdw200169: Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter (LNE100TXv4) [23:17] rdw200169, i was once 'debating' about why should ubuntu has a better file open/save dialog box... but people didn't beleive me that users need thumbnails in a gtk filechooser. that's very weird for me. [23:17] meoblast, in this situation, the version number is very important, linksys likes to swap chipsets a lot [23:18] linux_guy: fglrx (the proprietary ATI driver) is the only driver that still has consistently broken video unless you use unaccelerated X11 playback [23:18] rdw200169: was that the version number? if not where can i get it? [23:18] naxa, i have a bad habbit of customizing things endlessly, generally my ubuntu never ends up looking like the original :) [23:18] meoblast: i am using Virtual Box. wil it affect the Visual effects [23:18] meoblast, the box it came in, or on a sticker on the actual card [23:18] vishnu: shouldnt... i think that is just a known bug in non-nVidia cards [23:19] meoblast, but i don't think what you showed me is the wireless card, that's an ethernet adapter [23:19] rdw200169: i dont know... and i don't think my dad would like me demolishing everything to get to the back of the machhine [23:19] rdw200169, really? can you give me some hints? i installed awn and some now logon themes but somehow i am allways lacking something in the end... can you give me hints? [23:19] now=new :) [23:19] naxa, what do you want to do? [23:19] meoblast: any patches available.. [23:19] rdw200169, just random cool stuff what you see on screenshots but don't know how to get [23:19] rdw200169, this is plan A [23:20] vishnu: maybe typing "killall metacity" and then "compiz" would work [23:20] is there a way to have both wicd and nm installed? :D [23:20] naxa, well, with compiz you can use a replacement window manager called emerald to make pretty windows [23:20] vishnu: metacity might be locking it out [23:20] vishnu: be aware that your window title bars will go away after killing metacity [23:20] brb gtg... i'll be back soon [23:20] naxa, i was never a fan of awn (it crashed a lot at the time) so i use cairo-dock [23:20] meoblast: ok [23:20] naxa, that, and a lot of people really like conky [23:20] hey guys i just installed frostwire it was installed well. but when i start it it always says starting the connection is there anyone who can help me about that? [23:21] meoblast: will it close any windows ? [23:21] naxa, there's also gscreenlets that puts interesting informational things on your desktop [23:21] just bought an ice genie for my k45 [23:21] it's really starting to turn into a sickness :) [23:21] guys, I have a long text file with doc9c.cn

[23:22] Is there a way to tweak the temperature that the hardware shuts down at? [23:22] alien: does my hint help?

I don't want to open it up in a text editor [23:53] Animator: install and run ntfs-config [23:54] w3rd_: you can choose the language when you log in. and the keyboard in system->prefs [23:54] HOMEMADEJAM: well you could do this in vi. What do you need to do this for? [23:54] zsquareplusc: i did that ... and it still loads english [23:54] HOMEMADEJAM: you can run "less yourtextfile" and then type /homemadejam [23:54] im not sure why [23:55] HOMEMADEJAM: what is your idea of "highlighting" when you dont want to use an editor? do you want to convert the file to HTML for example, in order to use colors? [23:55] the interface changes to an old version of gnome [23:55] I'm just writing a script to view my Twitter feeds, and I am wanting to clearly see what I have posted, or who are sending me a reply [23:55] but the language hanst change [23:55] boa noite [23:56] HOMEMADEJAM: you want your script to color/highlight the output? [23:56] boa noite [23:57] Yeah pretty much. but to only highlight the words that I have chosen [23:58] HOMEMADEJAM: if its just for lokking at in the terminal, then why not less and then type /word [23:58] I need help with my keyboard layout... or something along those lines [23:58] HLM11: just ask the question [23:58] HOMEMADEJAM: well one way would be to just use ansi color codes yourself in your script [23:59] Hi, how to make a screenshot of a fullscreen OpenGL Game? [23:59] I am playing a game and need to use the command 'toggleconsole' which is bound to ~ and I need to press a key after that, is there a way to change that? [23:59] hi can anyone explain the differences between icedtea, cacao and openjdk versions of java? [23:59] benpicco: depends on the game some have their own screenshot method [23:59] rdw200169, i am back [23:59] How would you do something like that? :S
