[00:00] WoW is a drug... [00:00] presshere: sorry :P newbie [00:00] md22: You should ask that in #winehq - but from what I understand-- there are some tweaks... a little wine... turn off compiz ... and use the -opengl fix to render more frames. [00:01] ok [00:01] my question: having an issue with volume control, when I turn up the volume using the keyboard shortcut volume wheel the volume control graphic/"widget" doesn't stop either turning up or down the volume (depending what direction I go). After this occurs, the keyboard no longer types... [00:01] Wine is developed enough to play WoW without transgaming? [00:01] WoW is boring [00:01] Try EVE [00:01] ok [00:02] trying to run a poker program via wine, it starts but cant really use it [00:02] http://pastebin.com/m12d62cd [00:02] meditatingfrog, what's your keyboard? [00:02] mereo: - Wow can run in opengl mode so no need to use the wine directx layer-- you just add that to the .exe -opengl in the wine menu [00:02] Hello everyone! [00:02] I'm on a laptop, Toshiba u305-s7448 [00:03] redvamp128, good to know [00:03] doc``: perhaps someone in #winehq can help you... [00:03] mereo: I'm on a laptop, toshiba u305-s7448 [00:03] Now .. regarding that pppoe issue, does anyone have that slitest idea on what may be causing it ? [00:03] mereo: if mikeshollen were here he could tell you what he did to get it to run with good frame rates (other than the -opengl ) [00:04] ok ty rakudave ill try there [00:04] afternet@3464:~/nefarious-1.2/tools$ gcc -o mkpasswd mkpasswd.c -lcrpyt [00:04] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [00:04] would anyone like to help a girl out getting past this little hump in the installation of Ubuntu? [00:04] redvamp128, interesting... because I have a fresh XP partition only for games... but I would like to play certain games in Linux. So if there isn't a big a performnace hit, then I guess it's worth it [00:04] Laci: gotta tell us what the problem is first [00:04] !pastebin | Laci [00:04] Laci: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:05] how do I ignore enters and exits in pidgin? [00:05] !pastebin pppoe [00:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin pppoe [00:05] anyone know how do i use skim in Konversation? [00:05] Cpudan80, I was installing on a laptop when I was dumped to the command prompt, I fixed the xorg.conf file to recognize the display adapter and was able to startx [00:05] mereo: if you have xp then I would run it native (much less troublesome) there are about 3 or 4 registry changes - plus some other changes to get it to run and install === aaditya is now known as dragon_ [00:06] but once I got the GUI up, I receive the error "User Switcher" has quit enexpectedly and I can't run the Install icon on the desktop [00:06] because I'm not in as admin I guess [00:06] due to the user switcher problem [00:07] So... one of my idea is to include a feature where one can hibernate and restart the computer. Do you think I can add this idea in Ubuntu's launchpad website? [00:07] laci why not login as root [00:08] mereo: then on a side note-- if wine gets updated it could possibly break wow [00:08] abc2xyz right now I'm essentially running live [00:08] redvamp128, Yeah, I think its' best if I run the games in XP [00:08] laci its not installed yet? [00:08] mereo: are you joking? [00:08] abc2xyz no, that's what I'm trying to do [00:08] mereo: there is already something like that -- in the pannel == THe inhibit appelet [00:09] meditatingfrog, no, because XP is my gaming os. And I would like to leave Ubuntu's as it is to return to it after I finish playing [00:09] laci which distro? [00:09] abc2xyz ubuntu Ibex [00:09] redvamp128, the inhibit applet? [00:09] mereo: I wouldn't know, I don't use XP on my system [00:10] For some reason I can't change my resolution, I changed it once, and after that it won't change to anything else === josspyker__ is now known as josspyker [00:10] How do I fix that? [00:10] mereo, It's also incorperated into the "switch user" applet :P [00:10] lets see how long the mouse lasts with a xfixed xorg.conf [00:10] mereo: right click on an empty space on your task bar choose add to panel-- then look for the inhibit [00:10] i have two hard disks.. is it possible for me to make one installation of ubuntu [00:10] Lulkat: what steps have you taken so far? [00:10] System>Screen Resolution [00:10] That's all I've tried [00:11] Hi all. [00:11] redvamp128, ok... I have it but no preferences [00:11] Lulkat: I think you'll have to modify your xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 [00:11] Anybody know of a good app to act as a network bandwidth monitor? Text and/or graphical please? [00:11] Care to tell me how? [00:11] Lulkat: did you try clicking "detect displays" in "monitor resolution settings"? [00:11] Lulkat: try that first [00:12] Yup, that didn't do anything [00:12] Lulkat: Do you have ati or nvidia? because if you have those drivers installed then you have to use a different way to change resolutions. [00:12] Huufarted: do you want realtime stats or more like averages/day [00:12] Nvidia [00:12] Pandah, I know I can hibernate, but I don't want the system to shutdown [00:12] Lulkat: try this -- sudo nvidia-settings [00:12] i would like to know how to get ubuntu applications sources . For example i want the exact source package for the Epiphany source code found on my distro [00:12] how can I find out whic program is using the most bandwidth? [00:12] it dosent it just goes into powersave move.. [00:13] laci are u suing the beta image? [00:13] Will do, thank you [00:13] MelindaCali: apt-get source and apt-get build-dep [00:14] !stopspy ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [00:15] forgot about nvidia-settings...I have an Ubuntu system with an Nvidia card...it was tough getting the video card working [00:15] mike, realtime. The normal system monitor draws a LOT of resources [00:15] abc2xyz not sure, is there a command to check the version? [00:15] ok zsquareplusc I did apt-get source file-roller [00:15] meditatingfrog: I figured that one out when the person said -- I changed it there and nothing changed. [00:15] now where is the source package at [00:15] laci i don't know sorry [00:15] Yeah, I wonder why system monitor is so system intensive [00:15] redvamp128: I remember modifying the xorg.conf to add the capabilities of the monitor in there [00:16] mikewu, a real-time monitor. The normal System Monitor watches all aspects of the system and thats a fairly large system draw [00:16] redvamp128: I think that's what nvidia-settings does === kira\ is now known as stealth_tty1 [00:16] redvamp128: are you running Intrepid? [00:16] MelindaCali: in the directory you did it. it downl oaded the 3 filese there and probably unpacked the tar.gz and diff to a subdirectory [00:16] Huufarted: have you tried "top"? [00:17] abc2xyz no problem, basically I'm here: Put in Live CD, selected INSTALL, was dumped to command prompt because xorg could not find the display, EDITED xorg.conf to recognize display, ran STARTX and now I'm at the GUI but unable to run the INSTALL icon on the desktop [00:17] meditatingfrog: I am currently on Hardy -- but I do have a hard drive with that istalled just not in a system currently -- for me it broke more than it was worth [00:17] meditatingfrog, I'm looking for a realtime network monitor, not process monitor [00:17] redvamp128: I would agree with you...in a way, I think I upgraded more for the challenge...the one thing that it "fixed" was the wifi driver for me...I don't have to use ndiswrapper anymore [00:17] meditatingfrog: I was actually going to wait to put it back in when Jaunty hits heta [00:18] how do you set the colours that ESC]R resets to? [00:18] Laci: sounds like you're a candidate for the alternate install cd. that one installs in text mode and you can fix X.org once it is installed on the disk. === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [00:19] Laci press F4 and select the Install a command-line system option [00:20] laci or burn another copy of ISO [00:21] Laci: if you choose to install the alternate cd-- just make sure it is connected to the internet and when prompted type = "cli" to start the install [00:21] Laci, you cant find drivers for your video chipset can you? === poseidon is now known as cs_student [00:21] boxee froze on me. How can I kill the process. The task manager doesn't kill it. [00:22] redvamp128: I should probably install Intrepid on my desktop, I used it to netboot this laptop which was pretty cool [00:22] Is bluetooth broken on 8.10? [00:22] i have two hard disks.. is it possible for me to make one installation of ubuntu [00:22] Well the resolution problem is fixed, but the text looks weird [00:22] DarkKnight: Yes it is. [00:22] nm [00:22] cs_student: ps aux to find the process id then kill processid [00:22] cs_student: sorry [00:22] cs_student: killall -v name [00:23] But the same resolution on vista looks just fine [00:23] DarkKnight, Yes it gives you the option to install on a single drive or partition your existing system one [00:23] meditatingfrog: I found intrepid broke for me the following= webcam= nvidia drivers (scrambled text) wine, and also flash [00:23] meditatingfrog i run both myth and xbmc [00:23] thanks [00:23] !bluetooth [00:23] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [00:23] Rauf, Pandah; so that means one installation covers both the disks? [00:23] hmm ... I don't suppose anyone can help me with using wine's regedit, could they? [00:23] DarkKnight, [00:23] NOpe [00:23] redvamp128: best not then [00:23] only one of them [00:24] DarkKnight: No. [00:24] islan: try room - #winehq [00:24] thanks [00:24] Just make sure it is installed on the hardrive you want it on and Not Your existing system one [00:24] Rauf, Pandah; why so? [00:24] What he says ^ [00:24] redvamp128: I think 8.10 is faster with Flash movies and scripts...but that's probably just the new ver of flash from adobe [00:25] DarkKnight, Because it only requires the one drive to boot from.. [00:25] has anyone compiled their own kernel? [00:25] how do I delete an entry from the applications menu? [00:25] i need help getting my graphics drivers working [00:25] meditatingfrog: you may want to ask someone in the #ubuntu-developer room about that one [00:25] again [00:26] Pandah; then what's the solution...can i make installation on one drive and create directories in the other [00:26] hello all [00:26] I issued the following commands and got insufficent free extends any ideas http://www.pastebin.ca/1344017 [00:26] DarkKnight: Do you have vista installed now? [00:26] an nvidia 8800 gts [00:26] Rauf;no [00:26] i installed Bittorrent using synaptic but i cant find it in Applications any help ? [00:26] XP? [00:26] imachine: you still around? [00:26] Rauf, Pandah; i have a 8GB disk and a 160GB disk [00:26] meditatingfrog: Done that a lot in the past. Just not recently. What is the problem? [00:27] Rauf, Pandah; i have XP on 80GB and ubuntu on 160GB [00:27] Armag3ddon: under internet? [00:27] DarkKnight, You can but that would be a pain in the ass meaning you'd have to make a partition on your existing drive and format it to something it like ext3 and then format the other drive so you can read your files inlinux from it [00:27] abc2xyz, ? i dont understand [00:27] abc2xyz, yea through synaptic :/ [00:27] Any one here got bluetooth working in 8.10? [00:27] Plugh: not really a problem...thought it might be a worthwhile project [00:27] Armag3ddon: IIRC, that is just the command line tool. Check for a bittorrent-gui package [00:27] Armag3ddon: try restarting [00:28] DarkKnight: So what is your problem exactly if you already have ubuntu and xp? [00:28] abc2xyz, i did [00:28] Rauf, Pandah; wanted to cover both the disks with ubuntu and then use VirtualBox to install XP, Open Solaris [00:28] ifroog: what are you using bluetooth for? [00:28] Rauf, Pandah; and maybe even fedora [00:28] Plugh, it is installed [00:28] Send files to my pda. [00:28] then do it it wont hurt [00:28] meditatingfrog, [00:28] After changing my resolution, everything looks fine except the text. It looks like everything is bunched in too closely, how would I fix that? [00:28] Ahah, well, that is not my thing. I never did that [00:29] DarkKnight: are you talking about RAID? [00:29] meditatingfrog; nope; I suppose thats only for a back up [00:29] Whenever i sudo nautilus it changes my background to the default and gets rid of compiz's. But even when I close it, its still there. How can I get it to reset or to stop this from happening? [00:29] Anyone? [00:29] ifroog: Have you synced your pda with a Linux distro before? [00:29] Lulkat: try going to system- prefereces- appearence - then fonts - I have mine set for Subpixel Smoothing-- I think default is set for Monochrome [00:29] DarkKnight: Raid 0 is for speed [00:30] I think [00:30] ScottG489, why are you #sudo nautilus? [00:30] ScottG489, gksudo nautilus; don't use sudo for graphical apps [00:30] meditatingfrog; and the others? [00:30] meditatingfrog, I Used to send filed for kde using kbluetoothd in gutsy, now i moved to gnome and it just wont send files. [00:31] DarkKnight, If you want to install ubuntu on both drives then do so.. format the other hardrive you Don't want ubuntu to be installed on and then partition it when linux is installed on the other that way you can use it no problem [00:31] DarkKnight: redundancy...I think raid 5 is supposed to offer both...Striping with Parity [00:31] McShane: Tabasco: Ill keep that in mind from now on. However, the results are the same either way. I have tried it both ways. [00:31] DarkKnight: Raid 0 for speed, and do daily backups of your critical data, like word documents etc. [00:31] DarkKnight: I shouldn't say daily...perhaps nightly [00:32] shit [00:32] i just used the shortcut "ctrl + alt + ++" to change my resolution and now everything on my monitor is huge. my resolution is listed as 1280 x 1024 but its actually not. how do i revert? [00:32] word...what am I saying?! [00:32] !language | meditatingfrog [00:32] meditatingfrog: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:32] hehe, I was about to say that too. lol [00:32] pardon my french [00:33] i need help getting my nvidia graphics drivers working [00:33] oh god my wireless on ubuntu is horrible :/ [00:33] hey. I need to set to native two .dll files on wine. I added them to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and the hit winecfg > libraries, but they are not there. Did I do something wrong? [00:33] meditatingfrog, Pandah,meditatingfrog; i am only aiming to use multiple distros... i thought on making seperate installation but then i was worried of disk performance.so i thought using VirtualBox was better [00:34] nclife: ask in #winehq (but to answer your question you need to put those files inside the program folder (or the where) the program is that you want to fix) [00:35] McShane: Tabasco: What should I do to fix this problem or prevent it frm happening in the future? [00:35] DarkKnight: are you saying you're going to emulate an OS in Ubuntu instead of having separate installs? [00:35] nclife: just make sure you don't overwrite the native ones inside the /.wine/drive_c/windows folder [00:35] I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box? [00:35] meditatingfrog; whats emulate... [00:36] ScottG489, dunno, haven't heard of that one [00:36] DarkKnight: like WINE, WINdows Emulator [00:36] meditatingfrog; not exactly, but on VirtualBox... [00:36] redvamp128, mh. The howto I read said I should add the to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, is that the same than ~/.wine/windows/system32? [00:37] them* [00:37] nclife: NO that will Break Wine [00:37] DarkKnight: is VirtualBox an emulator? generally speaking emulation is less efficient [00:37] heh, I'll erase them then :p === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [00:37] redvamp128, how can I acces C: ... from the cl then? [00:37] DarkKnight: and if you think Raid 0 (striping) will offset the performance, I would bet that isn't true [00:38] nclife: I just hope you didn't overwrite them or else you will have to reinstall wine [00:38] meditatingfrog; yes kind of...when i have virtualBox.. i can access a Widows desktop on the Ubuntu itself [00:38] meditatingfrog; yes kind of emulator...when i have virtualBox.. i can access a Windows desktop on the Ubuntu itself [00:38] DarkKnight: what do you need the windows desktop for? [00:38] redvamp128, hehe, i did overwrite one... :s [00:39] hey all [00:39] meditatingfrog; there are some functons which a windows can perform and ubuntu can't === ilioscio_ is now known as ilioscio [00:39] nclife: basically simple easy-- lets say you want to use fix dcom38.dll (just a fake example)- and you choose use native dcom38.dll you just put it in folder of the program you are trying to fix in the program folder or the folder where you are trying to run it. [00:39] Are a lot of people experiencing a huge performance hit with X.org in Jaunty lately? [00:40] nilson: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty, please [00:40] can i get some help getting my nvidia graphics drivers working [00:40] nclife: and then you use the wine configure to point to the .exe of the file and choose the use native dcom38.dll (then if it is in that folder where the .exe) it will then use it [00:40] DarkKnight: I would think in terms of performance having separate installs would be best...BUT it might be worth it, if you can get virtualbox running, but I would think that striping would not offset the performance decrease, have you got VirtualBox running on your Ubuntu install now? [00:40] nclife: you may want to reinstall wine [00:40] redvamp128, yep. What's the command for that agian? [00:40] crdlb, thanks [00:41] nclife: what version of wine did you have? [00:41] meditatingfrog; no. i have made seperate installs [00:41] Hi guys, have problem -- using 8.10 and have audio sync problems with mplayer. Maybe somebody can advise me how can I investigate that? [00:41] DarkKnight: I don't even use WINE...there is nothing that I need that windows offers...just speed and...I realize this is sad for me to say since I'm not a hacker, reliability [00:41] DarkKnight: do you have VirtualBox installed on your Ubuntu install? [00:41] does anyone have a minute to help me make a chart in open office... no one is active in the oo.org channel [00:41] redvamp128, 1.0.1 I believe [00:41] DarkKnight: are you in Ubuntu now? [00:42] 1.0 [00:42] nclife: you could try sudo apte-get install wine [00:42] someone could tell me how could I listen mms radio stream in amarok? amd64 [00:42] meditatingfrog; ya in hardy..but no virtualbox [00:42] nclife: sudo apt-get install wine [00:42] anyone want to help me write my novel in openoffice? :) [00:42] lol [00:43] hi, how can I set mplayer to not start with pulse audio? it errors everytime I open a video stream [00:43] redvamp128, says wine is already the newest version [00:43] nclife: though you should probably -- go into synaptic package manger and uninstall wine there then reinstall it. [00:43] yes, that's what I'll do [00:43] how do you create a nfs share folder? [00:43] !nfs [00:43] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [00:43] DarkKnight: what I'm recommending is set up virtualbox in Hardy, now, then see how it performs...if you install Ubuntu across two hard drives (RAID = Redundant Array of Independent Disks), it is my judgement that the performance benefits won't be considerable enough [00:43] nclife: do you understand now-- how the use native works? [00:43] can anyone recommend me a sfv checker. :-) [00:43] redvamp128, to be totally honest, not quiet. :p [00:44] !virtualbox [00:44] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:44] nclife: pm? [00:44] yes [00:44] kristian2: cksfv [00:44] I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box? [00:44] meditatingfrog; ok and is RAID really necessary? [00:44] musikgoat|main : thanks! :-) will check it out. long time, no see. [00:44] yes [00:45] DarkKnight: You talked about installing Ubuntu ACROSS two physical hard disks, right? [00:45] kristian2: :-) sure thing === edgex-_ is now known as EdgeX-[A] [00:46] bless me [00:46] hi guys [00:46] hey all [00:46] pytheman: what are you trying to do? [00:46] i'm new user for ubuntu system [00:46] !hi | kito and jtrag [00:46] kito and jtrag: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:46] anyone have an idea why my sound isn't working with ubuntu 8.10 on a nforce 680i motherboard with onboard sound? === c is now known as Charitwo [00:47] jtrag: is it all sounds? [00:47] yeah, nothing works [00:47] I went into the hardware config and tried to detect it and it wont [00:47] jtrag: did you do system pref sounds? then do test? [00:47] I even manually selected the drivers [00:48] yes, the test fails [00:48] jtrag: error message? [00:48] i just got a new atheros wireless card. how do i enable it for use in Ubuntu? it doesn't show up in iwconfig [00:48] no errors [00:48] musikgoat|main : E: Couldn't find package cksfv - know of any on the repo? or maybe i should just install manually. [00:48] it just don't work [00:48] zoltron: is it a 5xxx card? [00:48] jtrag: what happens when you hit test? nothing? [00:48] nothing at all [00:49] meditatingfrog; ya..but its only for increasing disk space [00:49] are all the volume controls turned up? [00:49] im tyring to open up a port but cant, could someone tell me how i guess im doing it wrong [00:49] it's odd... with opensuse, it detects my nvidia raid and my soundcard automatically [00:49] Z0E, what are you trying to do? [00:49] yeah, volume controls are all turned up but most aren't available [00:50] just the master volume even though it's a 5.1 surround system [00:50] I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box? [00:50] DarkKnight: hmmm, well it would increase disk space, but you would have to get your windows software working in Virtualbox [00:50] Z0E, are you trying to open a port for someone to access something on the internet... if thats the case, are you behind a router? [00:50] in hardware, it's not even showing a card at all [00:50] if I manually try to add it, it gives an error [00:50] kristian2: wierd, it was available in fiesty and before... I'm checking if its in some other package [00:50] no im on backtrack trying to set up a database to use with metasploit [00:51] DarkKnight: it's an interesting project...if you have the time...and if you're only expecting an increase in diskspace out of it... [00:51] DarkKnight: and how critical are your windows apps? [00:51] kristian2: looks like it was deleted from hardy :-( [00:51] how does one fix resolution? [00:52] musikgoat|main : alright. how come? know of any other sfv checkers that are good and in repo? [00:52] can i get some help getting my nvidia graphics drivers working [00:52] how does one fix wrongly detected screen resolution? [00:52] jtrag, try this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [00:53] could someone tell me how to open up a port for tcp connections [00:53] please help me i am so frustrated with ubuntu, settings are always changing somehow [00:53] quiksilver: why are you frustrated? are you unable to get your work don? [00:53] everytime i open firefox to browse, the minimise/maximize tab is gone and the window takes up the full screen [00:54] i cant access applications, places, or systems at the top [00:54] meditatingfrog, AR5007G [00:54] this magically happened when i restarted [00:54] quiksilver: do you have compiz running?

[00:54] is it possible to restart WINE [00:55] kristian2: well, to be honest, thats what i used in the past, i haven't had any reason to check them as of late... give me a sec to keep looking [00:55] zoltron: there is a package that might help you in synaptic package manager, I wrote a blog about it [00:55] I will pm you the blog [00:55] mikewu: tnx [00:56] meditatingfrog: you're a god, thank you so much [00:56] meditatingfrog, ok. the driver shows up in the Hardware Driver control panel and says it's active... i'm just unsure how to use it... [00:56] ok so i type cp /boot /media/fd and i get cp: omitting directory `boot/' any reason why this isnt working? [00:56] musikgoat|main : i can't find anything, how do you search the repo for specific tools, like a sfv checker like now? [00:56] i am root via sudo bash [00:56] Zeneth: add the -r flag to make it recursive [00:56] quiksilver: it was a shot in the dark [00:56] I am having trouble with my wireless on resume... I have modified the ifup script in /etc/acpi/resume.d to include the fix that I have found but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be running it on resume.. any ideas? [00:56] I used to be able to forward X by doing ssh -X host, and now it has stopped working, I get Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keycannot open display: [00:56] does that go before or after the /boot or /media... [00:56] Zeneth: use « sudo -i » instead of « sudo bash » if you need a root shell [00:56] kristian2: aptitude search stringname [00:57] zoltron: the driver you are trying to use probably isn't the right one...I have atheros 5406 on my laptop...I used to have to use the ndiswrapper to get it working [00:57] kristian2: there is aparently cfv [00:57] I'm back! Got knocked offline *blah* [00:57] Zeneth: cp -r /boot /media/fd === alen_ is now known as sixkiller [00:57] ^-^ still can't this thing installed [00:57] I guess boxee doesn't have too good of support for linux? It looks like abc.com streaming,a and a few other streams don't work on linux with boxee. [00:57] is there a good room to get help with wireless? [00:58] zoltron: be patient, have to look it up, taking time to recall what package you need that adds functionality to atheros 5xxx drivers [00:58] meditatingfrog, so if it were the right driver, it would show up properly in iwconfig? [00:58] a friend of mine just downloaded linux mint 6 (based on ubuntu 8.10) and her linksys wireless card isn't working [00:58] zoltron: with the right driver you can use the network settings in the system tray [00:58] any idea how to fix it or who to ask? [00:59] OK, when Installing Ubuntu where xorg.conf needs to be manually configured to display the GUI, what do I do next to complete the install?? [00:59] !linuxmint | MrWizeGuy1983 [00:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about linuxmint [00:59] !mint | MrWizeGuy1983 === webby is now known as webby__ [00:59] MrWizeGuy1983: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [00:59] !mintsupport [00:59] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [00:59] musikgoat|main : thanks. will have a look. :-) [01:00] what does it mean if i'm the only user coming up under 'who' but in netstat i can see another ip ssh'ing established?? [01:00] Hello. I have a USB drive mounting to a persistent mount point (for music library, etc) using an ID in fstab ... but I get weird behaviour. Mount point keeps changing. Some dirs' disappears and files are unreadable. I've run fsck with no errors. [01:00] it means a socket is open Har [01:00] Harold_pa_: [01:00] zoltron: try installing linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic package [01:01] a socket is established before a login session is established [01:01] joe-mac: so it could be they're trying to login atm? [01:02] meditatingfrog, ok. anything i have to do next? [01:02] Harold_pa_, or sitting at a login prompt [01:02] ahh awesome, thanks so much for the response :) [01:02] ok how do i make a copy of the entire filesystem and copy it over to a share mounted at /media/exhd? [01:02] so for now i'm safe? [01:02] what in the [01:02] but if they appear in the user list then there's trouble? [01:02] Harold_pa_; kill the connection and see what happens ;) [01:02] can anyone explain why my sound randomly started working [01:03] nice, thanks steve :) [01:03] zoltron: administration -> hardware drivers, disable the old driver, and enable the new one for atheros 5xxx [01:04] can i get some help getting my nvidia graphics drivers working [01:04] yowshi: system -> administration -> hardware drivers [01:04] kristian2: did you figure out how to use cfv? [01:04] meditatingfrog, ok, done. it has a little reboot icon next to the disabled driver. reboot now? [01:05] zoltron: go for it [01:05] meditatingfrog, alright, brb. [01:05] jrib: tried that didnt work [01:05] alright, zoltron [01:05] yowshi: then you might want to be more specific [01:05] is there anyone in here that has work they need to get done, but can't because Ubuntu isn't functioning? [01:06] meditatingfrog: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussion please [01:06] what's that command to see what programs have a drive in use? [01:06] squarebracket: lsof? fuser? [01:06] lsof! [01:06] jrib: I was trying to categorize who I should try to help first [01:06] musikgoat|main : i need to unzip a file to come to the .sfv. [01:06] jrib: he asked a very astute meta-question [01:06] thanks jrib :) [01:06] I have some experience with Nvidia drivers, whoever asked [01:06] jrib: i have tried the hardware driver option. i tried going into synaptic and reinstalling all the drivers but for some reason i can get opengl to work which is needed for some games i play on wine. this probably isnt a ine problem though sincxe they worked before i started altering my xorg.conf file as per ecomendations to get my usb mouse working [01:06] thank you adaptr [01:07] musikgoat|main : tried to unrar-free but it didn't work. [01:07] kristian2: you want "unrar", not "unrar-free" [01:07] musikgoat|main : it's zipped because its a small app, if you know what i mean. [01:08] kristian2: pm me [01:09] wow there's alot of time_waits from them too on ssh [01:09] jrib : xxxxxxxxx.zip is not RAR archive - this is what unrar gave me. [01:09] i'd say they're trying to brute their way in [01:09] still, i guess it'd be boring if noone tried to get in [01:09] hehe [01:09] musikgoat|main : ok [01:09] kristian2: what does the « file » command tell you about it? [01:09] meditatingfrog, connected via the wireless card now :) thanks for your help! [01:09] zoltron: you are a god and you are welcome [01:10] jrib : no files to extract [01:10] kristian2: run « file PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE » [01:13] jrib : ah! :-P xxxxxxxxxxx.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract [01:13] kristian2: so did you try "unzip"? (or just double clicking)? [01:14] will do it now. [01:14] works. using cli, didn't know unzip worked. :-P thanks. [01:15] Dose anyone know were i can find a good page on how to set up wow on wine or crossover? [01:15] can i take a distro that is built on ubuntu..and ..like opengeu...take out there main repo..and put ubuntu's main repo...and upgrade it to ubuntu [01:16] sometimes when i restart my media server via ssh it drops to a root shell instead of restarting... help? [01:16] unclemike: which distro are you talking about-- because you can for example make a xubuntu into an ubuntu -- also a kubuntu to ubuntu === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [01:18] well as long as they are all gnubuntus I guess that'll be ok [01:18] Hello all, I'm trying to set up my wireless connection for the first time. I ve alread installed the proper kernel and drivers for my card and from iwconfig it seems to be working well, but dhclient always exit with an annoying no dhcp offers; am I missing something? the connectio is not encrypted and no authentication is required; I ve also tried tomanually set the ssid I got from both the router and iwconfig. Any clue? [01:18] redvamp128, its OpenGEU, previously known as Geubuntu [01:18] nijan, have you restarted the machine yet? sometimes that is helpful [01:19] yes, something like a thousand times [01:19] nijan, I guess this means it wasnt automatically recognized and configured? [01:19] nijan, are you using gnome? [01:19] is beyond linux from scratch a good manual to read? [01:19] unclemike: then you should be able to add the ubuntu the ubuntu desktop [01:19] yowshi: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:19] newt-home: iwscan reveal it and ifconfig is showing the connection [01:20] nijan, so you arent using networkmanager? [01:20] unclemike: then just log off then choose the options- window manger -- gnome [01:20] jrib: http://pastebin.com/f16f421fa [01:20] newt-home: no, no networkmanager, Im Xless :) [01:20] how do i set ubuntu to not lock the screen when i come out of hibernation? [01:20] yowshi: you aren't using the nvidia driver [01:20] nijan: could there not be a dhcp server on the network you are connecting to? [01:20] redvamp128, ok thanks...all opengeu is is taking the power of gnome and adding the icandy of E17 [01:21] ahhh [01:21] unclemike: I think the command line to it is - sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [01:21] jrib: yeah that might be the problem the question is why isnt it being used when i have tried both methods to reinstall it [01:21] yowshi: it's not setup to be used in xorg.conf. Hardware Drivers does this when you enable the driver [01:21] musikgoat|main, that would be very unusual but possible [01:22] musikgoat|main: no, it works fine via eth and with windows, I have also tried with a static ip, but nothing [01:22] how do I keep screen unlocked when I come out of hibernation? [01:22] nijan: just had to ask :-) [01:22] what is frustrating is that I cant get any log error [01:22] jrib: but i tried the deactive driver reactivate driver thing first [01:22] nijan, what does ifconfig show ? [01:22] nijan: what wireless driver? [01:22] or at least I dont know where to look for [01:22] yowshi: you did that now? before pastebinning your xorg.conf? [01:23] it's 5100 intel, but I have the driver and .28 installed [01:23] redvamp128, i think your right.... for some reason i have trouble installing ubuntu and ubuntu based distro's...always geting a error message saying something read or write..maybe drive bad....when i know drives are good [01:23] njan: dmesg | tail shows messages [01:23] jrib: yeah before pastebining it like an hour ago maybe a little less [01:23] nijan, thats the new abn mini pci card .... hmmm [01:23] yowshi: so Hardware Drivers says the driver is enabled? [01:23] jrib: when that failed i went to synaptic and marked it for reinstallation [01:23] hi all [01:23] njan: then you can see, if all is going ok, may be hardware or module problem# [01:23] there have been issues with that one in other distros [01:23] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [01:24] not familiar enough with ubuntu to say [01:24] jrib: yes itg says it is active and currently in use [01:24] yowshi: what package are you using for the driver? [01:24] unclemike: you may have to enable the multiverse (or add the apt lines for the same distro) [01:24] jrib: ??? [01:24] yowshi: what version of ubuntu are you using? [01:24] the hardware is fine, it actually works well on win [01:24] jrib: 8.10 [01:25] you shouldn't have to add any drivers though iirc nijan as the intel pro wireless cards are usually included in the installation driver set [01:25] yowshi: aptitude search '~i~nnvidia-glx' [01:25] Hey guys I am having some trouble getting dual monitors working with one big desktop setup. I have enabled the restricted fglrx driver, and then performed the following: aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left then aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-type=Xv and then restart X and it goes into X with my desktop wallpaper but nothing else happens just two monitors with the wallpaper on cant click etc.. can anyone help me [01:25] with this?

[01:26] and are you in the right bandwidth such as a,b,g ,or n? [01:26] njan: one can establish connection with iwconfig, you must then write channel, on which youtr router is sending signal, essid and interface name [01:26] jrib: a number of entires [01:27] !anyone | dusty [01:27] anyone? [01:27] dusty: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[01:40] Dracie, ??? [01:41] danes_, get ubuntu server and build a system to your needs around it [01:41] danes_: I think Damn Small Linux might be what you are looking for [01:41] Dracie, ohhh I see [01:41] DSL is not good for everyday use [01:41] danes_, have you looked at fluxbuntu --> http://fluxbuntu.org/ [01:41] repo's are limited... [01:41] yeah, I tried it, but its very limited [01:41] anyone know how to get ubuntu to appear on windows network to share folder? I love Linux and the community...understand open...don't feel "entitled" to get the answer...but 20 + hours now of reading, research, forums, to get a simple thing like files sharing with windows is getting to be nuts. [01:41] is there anyone here that's a member of a loco team, or a starter of a loco? [01:43] RockmanFL: what version are you running? [01:43] exodus_ms, do you think fluxbuntu will run ok with such a limited ram memory? [01:43] danes_: no [01:44] danes_, you really should think about upgrading that ram to 128 if possible [01:44] danes_: well, last I heard, fluxbuntu could run off 92mb of ram [01:44] besides dsl, do you have any other suggestion? [01:44] RockmanFL: i heard samba makes somrthing like communication with windows [01:45] danes_, at least 128, DSL will probably work but it will be nothing like what you are used to with ubuntu/gnome kubuntu/kde === _shoot^ is now known as shoot^ [01:45] danbhive I was running ubuntu 8.10 during all of the time trying to get the network to work....I just installed Linux Mint 5 hours ago (based on ubuntu 8.10) due to reviews saying it worked out of the box...still dead in the water [01:45] Can anyone tell me how to upgrade from 5.04 to 8.10 from the console (while X isn't working)? [01:46] sanvarin: you can't just do that [01:46] muxmomor: I have samba installed and configured to share [01:46] savvas: you can't go from 5.04 straight to 8.10 [01:46] I meant 8.04... [01:46] sanvarin, you will need to do a fresh install or upgrade from 5.04>5.10>6.04>6.10.7.04>7.10>8.04>8.10 [01:46] RockmanFL: so you have now problems with configuring it?

It boots, but only into console. Since the packages were trashed I want to just upgrade from the LiveCD, but it would be nice not to have to fic X first or lose data.... [01:52] Helpneeded911: follow general guideline for creating passwords. mix numbers, small letters, capitals, also all possible symbol [01:52] Helpneeded911: change your password and secret question and answer [01:52] is there a way to know the mount point of my dvd? it isn't /media/cdrom0 or cdrom1.. instead when it mounts itself, it is /media/050524_2026. Now, if I want to mount an .ISO image, what should I type for the mount point? === alkalineX is now known as ianw [01:53] does ubuntu x64 have a 32b gcc package ? [01:53] Helpneeded911: if your account is set to send password reminder to another mail address, check password of that mail address too. Also, make sure you don't make an easy to guess password reminder question [01:53] nclife: I use /mnt/iso for .ISO files [01:53] RockmanFL: in iorder to have some help it would be fine, if you can provide errors, which appear in process - from terminal, for example [01:53] afaik you need to cross compile null__ [01:53] sanvarin, you can backup what you need in console with 'tar' then continue on with the upgrade, is that what you are saying? Your afraid to dist-upgrade because you judge you might lose some data? [01:53] like you do when you compile sparc shit on othetr arcs [01:53] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, hey, how do i start up gparted ? [01:53] nclife: you can select any empty directory for mount point [01:53] Hello, I have a relatively small but annoying problem. I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, and when I installed jEdit, I noticed that there is annoying extra line space in-between each line. I don't know what's causing it or where there might be an option to fix it (I've looked all through the options). Also, there doesn't appear to be any threads on it from googling about it. Anyone have any idea where this setting might be (if it's a === horstle is now known as [horstle] [01:54] ^Cheeky: do you have it installed? if so, gksuo gparted, or from that admin menu [01:54] nclife: if your dvd is auto mounted, use df to list mounted partitions/media [01:54] joe-mac: ok, thanks [01:54] Hello. I am on command-line Ubuntu. Is it possible to set my compose key in the command line? [01:54] RockmanFL: then you can investigate it, or may be some1 would know, what this or that error mean,m because common "it doesnt work" just doesn't provide any useful information [01:55] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, i don't see it under administration, ill apt-get it [01:55] syockit, like for example I can mount the iso on /media/cdrom0 as well as in /home/sinclair/NewDirectory? [01:55] All the tutorials that I have found refer to using GNOME [01:55] exodus_ms: not quite. I know that something went awry with my drive and now libstdcc is gone (!) That's why I can't run X or the package manager or anything like that. But it seems that I ought to be able to do something like apt-get --upgrade all [01:55] jftsang: isn't there a dot file in ~ for that? [01:55] jftsang: ~/.compse or something? [01:56] Thanks. I'll take a look at that. [01:56] nclife: if it is already mounted, you cannot mount it to somewhere else (unless using mount --bind or symbolic links). Check with df to see if it's mounted or not [01:56] sanvarin, have you tried sudo dpkg -reconfigure --all or sudo apt-get -f install [01:56] exodus_ms: or boot from the livecd and just reinstall all that packages without backing up,reformatting etc.... [01:56] muxomor: That site I have not been to but I have followed the steps....it is for version 7 but I assume it relates to 8.10 as well...Question: My windows network is named Rockswork not MSHOME or WORKGROUP that Samba defauts to...I added a network connection and it does say it is connected to Rockswork but did not change aything else as far as Sambaconfig etc...could this be the reason? [01:56] oi [01:56] exodus_ms: I'll try that. That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out, but apparently man also needs libstdc... [01:56] syockit, I haven't mounted the .ISO file. I checked with df, it says it is on /dev/scd0 [01:57] syockit, that last mounted thing is my dvd [01:57] muxomor: BRB in 10 min gotta get the kiddies in bed [01:57] the only thing i can get to boot on my laptop is damn small linux in safemode. i just replaced the hard drive. is there any way to figure out what's wrong? [01:57] syockit, so to mount my .ISO file, I should mount it in /dev/scd0? [01:57] Is it possible to install ubuntu to a raid aray? [01:57] nclife: the iso is mounted? maybe some application might have automounted it [01:57] Hi to everyone... [01:57] nclife: you don't need a dvd drive actually to do iso mounting [01:58] nclife: You use loopback device for mounting iso [01:58] No, I can't find anything on ~/.compse [01:58] yo use this chat I have to use LANG=C xchat-gnome from console, because from menu doesn't work [01:59] syockit, so I'll just mount my .ISO like this: sudo mount -o loop <.iso file> /home//NewDirectory. is that okay to do? [01:59] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, oh nice, i formatted it using fat 32 .. but i have this error : DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found [01:59] im having trouble stopping my mic from coming from my speakers, any suggestions? using creative x-fi card [01:59] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, should i have to restart X for it mount now ? [01:59] ^Cheeky: I think you can ignore dbus errors if they are ignorable [02:00] sanvarin, is this what you are looking for, I'm not sure what you said was missing --> http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/libstdc++5 [02:00] nclife: yes. you can unmount later when it's not in use by sudo umount [02:00] do you hear about public virtual pc machines ? [02:01] how do I keep the screen unlocked when I come out of hibernation? [02:01] nclife: also, files in iso is usually owned by root, so if you are doing some copying, make sure to check ownership afterwards (refer man chown) [02:02] I installed xfce4 to run in ubuntu. I ran into a bug and uninstalled via sudo apt-get purge then used synaptic but it did not get rid of all the xfce files as when i reinstalled xfce the gdm wasn't the original how can i be sure that I've removed allt the files? [02:02] exodus_ms: I believe that is what I'm looking for. The problem is that apt-get needs that library to install that library (i think..) I was hoping there would be some way to fix it from the liveCD or just upgrade all my packages and not touch /home [02:02] cbilljones: you could try either muting it-- or turning down the gain on the mic -- that would be the volume control for the microphone (otherwise known as sesitivity.) [02:02] Aeosynth: I think there's a gconf for that, but I haven't tried [02:02] ok. thank you syockit [02:02] RockmanFL: being honest, i don't have any experience with samba :) What i am trying to help: localise an error, from terminal output(if started from a terminal) and then search how to make it work. In what i am concerned: both windows and linux comp must be in the same workgroup, it can be specified in samba.conf. Couple of links: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html http://samba.netfirms.com/sambconf.htm [02:03] exodus_ms: are you sure these packages are not more suited to what you posted above-- they are for ubuntu - Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- libstdc [02:03] syockit: where would you expect the setting to be? login? power management? just give me some keywords to scour gconf with [02:03] redvamp128, all i see in alsa settings is capture feedback, if i mute it it mutes it all together, dont see a sensivity setting [02:03] hey guys. i had 1 hdd with windows and later installed ubuntu . now i have 2 hdds and i want to install ubuntu at the second hdd. if i'll format disk where currently ubuntu installed, will i reset my boot record ? i mean will i able to load windows then? [02:03] Aeosynth: check /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/hibernate in gconf-editor [02:03] sanvarin: why don't you create a separate /home, move over your files, and then just reinstall? [02:03] cbilljones: that would be the volume control for the microhone [02:04] Aeosynth: see gconf entry for /app/gnome-power-manager/lock . But frankly I tried enable locking for suspend but didn't work. you can try removing lock from hibernate and see if it works [02:04] redvamp128, is libstdc++5 not the same for both debian and ubuntu? [02:05] exodus_ms: these are actually built for ubuntu -- the other is a debian and may or may not work [02:05] redvamp128, thats all there is in playback though, in recording it is called microphone and just fully mutes it as well [02:05] <^Cheeky> danbhfive, okay thats weird i mounted it, and umm .. it was detected .. showed the stupid error again .. but the icon is very weird .. [02:05] danbhfive: I don't have a spare drive to make /home and copy to, and was to dumb to partition things that way in the first place. Will the installer let me do that in the repartitioning phase? [02:05] redvamp128, cool, [02:06] cbilljones: you could click on the volume control then the recording tab-- then move the slider down [02:06] sanvarin: I start up the livecd, and see if gparted can do it. I like gparted much better than the currect POS [02:06] sanvarin: probably no, you have to resize the partition, make a new one and copy them manually. [02:06] heeelp meee( [02:07] i had 1 hdd with windows and later installed ubuntu . now i have 2 hdds and i want to install ubuntu at the second hdd. if i'll format disk where currently ubuntu installed, will i reset my boot record ? i mean will i able to load windows then? [02:07] redvamp128, it mutes it all together when i do that [02:07] exodus_ms: I linked you to that page so you can also click on the correct version you want to download and the correct distribution [02:07] casuals: hmm that depends on where the bootloader is installed... [02:07] cbilljones: for me the slider moves up and down. [02:07] RockmanFL: logs are in /var/log/samba/* [02:08] sanvarin, ^^ [02:08] redvamp128, hmmm im stumped then lol [02:08] casuals: ... which i think is on your second disk if you installed using default. so you'll have no bootloader :( [02:08] how can i check it ? i had only windows..and then i cut some space from windows disk and installed ubuntu there [02:08] redvamp128, what sound card are you using? [02:08] ok does any one else have an issue with VLC reading .mkv files? and if so how do you fix it [02:08] casuals: I think you should be ok [02:08] cbilljones: audigy ls+2 [02:08] casuals: oh, now I see the situation [02:09] sanvarin, from redvamp128 --> Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- libstdc [02:09] casuals: disk 2 is new disk right? if you install ubuntu to that disk, it should be ok [02:10] cbilljones: when I click on it this is what I get http://imagebin.ca/view/aXbg3rcx.html [02:10] syockit..well on the second hdd there are few windows disks already too..and there is some unformatted space where i want to install new ubuntu..and to kill one from old hdd [02:11] redvamp128, thats what i see too, but mine fully mutes it - from speakers and recording [02:11] ;9 [02:11] is anyone in her good with VLC or Codecs in general? [02:11] casuals: the important thing is to determine where /boot (the default folder for bootloader) will be put, as the boot record will point to that upon installation [02:12] cbilljones: then I am stumped too (I had to tick mine down) because when I have it all the way up It picks up distortion from the speakers- You may have your mic in the line in instead of the mic [02:12] What exactly does debfoster ask you if you want to keep? I thought it just asked for packages that weren't relied on by anything? But its asking me for huge things on my server like apache-common, openssh-server, phpmyadmin, etc... Hell it even asks if i want to remove debfoster [02:12] i'll determine it while new install? [02:12] cbilljones: if that is the case when switch them (or visa versa) [02:12] revamp128, kk sec ill try [02:12] just wondering what programs people use to "open" rar's with, just unrar or other alternatives? and is unrar freeware or shareware? [02:13] casuals: so if you install ubuntu on a new partition, and let it use default folder settings, and then install grub to mbr (this is by default), your new bootloader will be at the new partition. then you can delete the old ubuntu partition without bad consequences [02:13] syockit: wtf? NO! [02:14] arghh2d2: wrong? [02:14] mbr isnt realy a partition [02:14] soo u recommend install new ubuntu first and then format disk with old ubuntu ? [02:14] it's a tiny little partition at the beginning of the entire harddrive [02:14] arghh2d2: no, mbr is still mbr. will be written during installation [02:14] kristian2 > There is an obsolete open-source version of UnRar, and an up-to-date restricted (closed-source) freeware version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrar [02:15] casuals: yeah, you should install the new ubuntu first [02:15] casuals: you're going to format the disk? then mbr will be gone to.... [02:15] (would it?) [02:15] i want to kill old ubuntu and stick thet space back to windows ) [02:16] so i need to format it ) [02:16] casuals: sorry bout yer BAD luck [02:16] what do u mean?) [02:16] casuals: then you can just delete the partition and resize windows partition [02:16] without formatting ? [02:16] casuals: without formatting [02:17] hmm but firt install new ubuntu ? [02:17] partition magic would do it [02:17] resezise need defrag? [02:17] casuals: yes, first install the new ubuntu [02:17] casuals: yes. 1. install ubuntu -> 2. delete old ubuntu -> 3. resize windows [02:18] emm how to delete old ubuntu this way? just change file system or so ? without formatting [02:18] zacken: my experience says yes, but maybe the newer ntfs-3g thing does this for you [02:18] Sylphid, ah ok [02:18] zacken: I had to use many defrag tools to resize my vista partition back then [02:18] redvamp128, mine just has a shared linein/mic, so its the only input that works, still no luck :( [02:18] sry syockit === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:19] Bridger987 : alright. thanks. :-) i guess ill just stick with unrar then. it's not to bad since it's freeware, the strange thing is that if you go to rarlab.com and look at the download page, it says that unrar is trial only for linux as well. but i guess the unrar i downloaded with apt-get is not trial, just closed source? [02:20] kristian2: i think the closed-source one is rar, and open-source unrar. and yes, I never saw the program saying its trial or anything, so maybe it's as you've guessed [02:20] cbilljones: the thought behind the last one is that sometimes the line in will accept mic input but output through speakers -- but the mic will only take input-- That was my though [02:20] <^paradox^> what command can i use at a terminal to get full system specs for my computer? [02:20] eee dont forget me) [02:21] emm how to delete old ubuntu this way? just change file system or so ? without formatting [02:21] syockit: and unrar-free? [02:21] redvamp69, could be that since this card uses a shared input perhaps im screwed lol [02:21] muxomor, kristian2: hmm I was wrong [02:21] ^paradox^: lshw is one command, but I think you might be looking for something else [02:22] why is ubuntu showing 2g ram when I have 3gb installed? === EdgeX-[A] is now known as EdgeX-[ [02:22] <^paradox^> i was looking to get all the specs for my hardware [02:22] kristian2: The one that you downloaded with apt-get should be the freeware/closed-source version. There's also a mirror buried on the rarlab.com website (http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm) that is rather hard to find. The free trial being offered on the site was for the commercial product "RAR". The free product is "UnRAR". [02:22] arod: does it work in windows? [02:22] ^paradox^: you could try lspci or dmesg [02:22] syockit : yeah! seems like the download on rarlab.com for linux is only rar, not unrar. so i guess rar is trial, while unrar is free, as you said. :-) [02:22] muxomor: thx for pointing out. unrar-free is the open version [02:23] syockit: aha, and it can be integrated in archiver-programms (for example ark) [02:23] kristian2: apparently I was wrong. unrar-free is the open source version. I don't know what purpose unrar has, as rar also can extract archives [02:24] danbhfive: if works on debian with amd64 kernel. any 86 kernel kernel shows 2gb only [02:24] but Can't handle some archives in the RAR 3.0 format, only the non-free "unrar" package can do that. [02:24] no windows sorry [02:24] <^paradox^> ok thanks both of u [02:24] <^paradox^> ill give those a try [02:24] test [02:24] hello. I'm installing aoeIII on my comp, but I get this error which is supposedly due to not enough space on my temp directory. How can I move it to a drive with more space? [02:24] test [02:25] nclife > Under wine? [02:25] Bridger987, yes [02:25] if anyone sees this please /msg me [02:25] Bridger987 : a-ha! your right. so unrar is the same as rar except free, and i guess it can only unrar and not create rar's. correct me if im wrong. thanks for your help. :-) [02:25] nclife > I was getting a similar problem in trying to install something else, I can't remember what lol [02:26] kristian2: That was my impression. :-) [02:26] Bridger987, heh. How did you solve that? my error specifically is this "Error:- 1603 Fatal error during installation" [02:27] nclife > I didn't. I was just being redundant (or maybe helpful in showing that there is really a problem) in saying that I had the same thing happen. [02:27] ^_^ [02:27] heh, oks :) [02:27] nclife: you could ask in #winehq [02:27] oh, hey again red [02:27] yes, I'll do that [02:28] syockit : yes. apparently you have rar, for creating and extracting rar's, but it is trial and closed source. then you have unrar which is free, but still closed source, which can only extract rar's, not create them. so i prefer this one since it is not trial and i dont often create rar's. and then there is the opensource version free-unrar, but it is outdated, since rarlab made a new version of rar, v3. this is what i've understood so far [02:28] * muxomor checking new word redundant [02:29] Bridger987 : yeah. :-) thanks! ill just stick with unrar then. :-) [02:29] kristian2: !!! I didn't see that (checks aptitude show rar) aaaa, it's 40 days shareware!!! [02:30] syockit : yeah. :-/ oh well, im ok with just being able to unrar, dont need to make rars. :-P [02:30] anyone know a good place i can ask about cars? [02:30] free -m shows 2gb but I have 3gb of ram installed. any hint? [02:30] bios show 3gb [02:30] kristian2 > That was my decision when I looked into all of this. If you get into the habit of needing to create .rar archives, then you may do well to support them and pay the fee (or, if you're a cheapskate, I believe there's a large collection of pirated linux software over at The Pirate Bay... but you didn't hear that from me) [02:30] arod, sudo lshw -C memory [02:31] Bridger987 : this conversation never took place!

[02:32] Bridger987 : anyways. :-P yeah, im ok with unrar for now. :-) thanks for your time/help. :-) [02:32] i can't connect to the network since a temp file has to be written [02:32] kristian2: No problem. :-) [02:32] hello everyone [02:32] is anyone avial to give me some help? [02:32] Bridger987 : you should do that, you never know who might be watching. :o [02:32] any way to figure out what is going on here -- "read only filesystem" or something like that? [02:32] !ask | TheDude_ [02:32] TheDude_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

And also is that a wine or linux issue, in other words is it wine that has to be moved or /tmp of linux? [02:44] att0, it should recognize the new hardware and say that the driver is part of restricted software and you can choose to enable it or not [02:44] att0, and there is ways to manually install the drivers as well [02:44] Daft_Punk, excellent thanks [02:44] evening folks [02:45] Daft_Punk, I'm just a newb though, I [02:45] what's the command line to launch an install-sh file again ? ./sh install-sh ??? [02:45] what_if: well, I'm trying to read the procedure for using Barry (which I don't even know if it's user-friendly or not). It's asking to use Evolution, but Evolution seems to be having problems with IMAP right now [02:45] I'm running UbuntuServer 8.10 inside VirtualBox. When I duplicate the virtual machine and boot the OS, eth0 is changed to eth1. [02:45] as opposed to Thunderbird, which is fine [02:45] att0: i might be wrong, but hd on linux is more a matter of cpu than gpu b/c the video drivers dont support gpu decoding of x264 streams (though X has a pipe for mpeg2 now, i think)... and ffmpeg x264 decoders are single threaded anyway, so [02:45] How do I get it to go back to eth0? [02:46] ericstewart -> look into /etc/udev/rules.d/*persistent* rule [02:46] jdsbluedevl: hmmm... never used evolution [02:46] what_if: you use Thunderbird with Blackberry syncing? [02:46] Timing cached reads: 1230 MB in 2.00 seconds = 614.40 MB/sec [02:46] Timing buffered disk reads: 266 MB in 3.01 seconds = 88.39 MB/sec [02:47] seem slow? [02:47] I'm used to 100+ in windows [02:47] jdsbluedevl: I have attempted to use kdepim... emphasis on attempted [02:47] nice, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU never heard about that till now [02:47] oy, ok [02:47] n8tuserf: Okay.

[03:14] If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and assign a swap partition, the installation will continue without swap space.

[03:16] ETie, swap is always a good thing to have even if your computer doesnt use it [03:16] stip: gnome is listed as ubuntu-desktop (will not be listed as gnome because that is ubuntu's default) [03:17] ETie, chu. I think ubuntu adds swap by default in install [03:17] Possibly, because I only added a /home and a / :p [03:17] joot, i doubt that if it actually told me i would be installling without aswap [03:17] redvamp128: hmm...?

[03:42] JohnWittle, i used windows :p [03:42] cyzie: you could try a traceroute to the server(s)... there might be some bottle neck [03:42] Sylphid: i can't remember but heres what i typed when selecting the location: "/mnt/sdb3/Ubuntu" [03:42] doesn't "apt-build world" download the source code for all packages and recompile them? [03:42] Wow. I sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop'd and the ONLY package it removed was ubuntu-desktop [03:42] cyzie: was it you, who complained about slow speed several hours ago, too? [03:43] Phew. [03:43] lol [03:43] tritium, how ot pick the best server? [03:43] JohnWittle: correct. It's a meta-package. [03:43] hmw, Yes! [03:43] hmw, cause i tired of trying many servers, just slow! [03:43] Does ubuntu ever plan on making their disc so I can easily install an encrypted / and swap? When ever I get a laptop I don't want to have to call on the powers of Grey Skull just to encrypt everything but /boot [03:43] anyome know the address of the d/l servers? [03:43] cyzie: System -> Adminisration -> Software Sources, then in the pulldown menu for "Download from" select 'Other' [03:43] mimiloon, was a partition mounted to that location and if so was it the partition you were trying to image? [03:44] cyzie: it'll open a dialog box, and you can hit the button that says "Select Best Server" [03:44] tritium, anyway to do it in cli ? [03:44] Hello [03:44] Sylphid: i had unmounted the partition which i was trying to backup and mounted the partition to which i was trying to save [03:44] cyzie: there may be [03:44] the man page for apt-build says it recompiles "the system" when you enter "apt-build world" [03:44] hey napoleon. [03:44] how to use ekiga, please ? [03:44] save to [03:44] Odd. I searched for GNOME in synaptic and marked all packages for removal, and it did, and my system is still running. [03:44] tritium, what's the command? [03:45] cyzie: you'd have to search for it. I'm not sure. [03:45] JohnWittle, can'r kill what's running? Try ctrl+alt+backspace? [03:45] Will it boot into a terminal? [03:45] how to use ekiga, please ? [03:45] It *should* [03:45] excellent [03:46] So all that stuff I just removed is just running from ram now? [03:46] JohnWittle: ubuntu-desktop is simply a metapackage. Removing it does not remove gnome. [03:46] Yeah, I believe so.. [03:46] napoleon: please don't repeat [03:46] helou ppl [03:46] yes [03:46] tritium, I marked all packages with gnome in the description or title for complete removal in synaptic [03:47] napoleon - http://linux.die.net/man/1/ekiga [03:47] any body help me pls [03:47] JohnWittle: well, that's different from removing ubuntu-desktop [03:47] I know [03:47] tritium, OK, synaptic has that tooo. [03:47] mimiloon, without an error it seems like it should have worked [03:48] hey ciggar - any questions? [03:48] any help me pls to instal in ubuntu 8.10 usb modem novatel mc 990d [03:48] ? [03:48] tritium, ok, am tyring taiwan servers [03:49] bleeding fast nwo [03:49] cyzie: good [03:49] such a nightmares! archive.ubuntu.com should be fast!

[04:01] hi [04:01] it doesn't seem to work when I just plug in a device. [04:02] Suidog, what do you mean auto sensing [04:02] can someone tell me a good C IDE for ubuntu, and please don't point me to gedit, vi or emac [04:02] Suidog, you mean auto negotiating? [04:02] hi folks, i have my bcm43x card working now, i can connect to my wifi network, but once connected, i cant connect to any websites etc. [04:02] well it's autosense if it's a cross-over connection [04:02] konam - lol - i have heard, eclipse would be great [04:02] so I don't need a cross-over cable [04:03] Suidog, if your going from one host to another host directly you will need a crossover [04:03] at least I think it is..

[04:08] hi all, i've just installed 8.10 x86_64 and i'm trying to get my netgear wg311v3 wireless card working like it did in 32bit 8.04. it installs via ndiswrapper but DMESG doesn't ever say "driver loaded" any ideas? [04:08] hmw: haven't tried === ndfsck is now known as ndf [04:08] Hello Ubuntu users -- Is there an easy way to specify a custom block size for ext3 during install? I'm trying to install on an SSD with 4k blocks, and I'm a little stumped [04:09] hi, question about kernel headers if anyone can help. during a hardy update, kernel 2.6.24-23.48 gave me kernel panic with ACPI. since i did not want to disable ACPI on a netbook, i rolled back to .46. i notice my linux headers-generic is still at .48 and force version is grayed out. the netbook seems to be working ok, but the fact they're slightly different versions bugs me. anyone have thoughts/insights? [04:09] hi folks, i have my bcm43x card working now, i can connect to my wifi network, but once connected, i cant connect to any websites etc. [04:09] first thing, i would like to check, is that your "crossover" works. Remove the ath and the bridge and check out. A 'tail -f /var/log/messages' might give more clues about whats going on [04:09] hi, i have a file that's growing in size, how can i watch the size grow? i don't want to keep right-clicking the file and opening properties and closing it repeatedly [04:09] I'm having some issues with fstab [04:09] or even selecting/unselecting to read size in bottom left of nautilus [04:10] trying to mount a seperate drive and i added the following line to fstab [04:10] ndf: doesn't the Properties window update? [04:10] Runesaber, easiest way i can think of is to manually partition the hard drive from a live cd then just install to the partitions without reformatting [04:10] martin_henry: doesn't seem to [04:10] /dev/sdb1 /data ext3 auto,rw,user robert 0 0 [04:10] hwm: ok.. I can't do that right now cuz the wife is using the internet right now on the wireless.. .. and you know I was planning on getting some this weekend.. [04:10] ndf: oh ok, then i don't know. [04:10] Barridus: usually when you get a kernel update you have the previous one and the new one at the same time.. on boot the newest is at the top of the list and used.. if you want you can use synaptic and uninstall the newer kernel or rearrang grub list to show the one that workd on the top. [04:10] k [04:11] is there a way to make the system reread the fstab file or do i have to reboot [04:11] Sylphid: can I do that from the standard install CD just by hitting 'try ubuntu' instead of 'install'? [04:11] Runesaber, sure can [04:11] Mrono: sudo mount -a [04:11] I may be incorrect in the cross over thing. let me check to see if the card supports it in the docs.. brb [04:11] is there anything wrong with this line in fstab "/dev/sdb1 /data ext3 auto,rw,user robert 0 0" [04:11] says it's bad [04:11] Sylphid: mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 /dev/sda2 ? [04:12] Izinucs, that doesn't seem to be the case with this since i upgraded from 2.6.24-23.46 to 2.6.24-23.48 [04:12] k [04:12] Runesaber, assuming sda2 is the correct partition that should do it [04:12] yeah, second partition on my ssd. thanks alot! [04:12] Runesaber, no problem [04:12] Mrono: this is the first line in fstab that I've seen with a users name in the line [04:12] my grub only lists other older kernels that aren't in the "24-23" family [04:12] is there another window manager that is not metacity or compiz ? [04:12] like something in between [04:13] hi all, i've just installed 8.10 x86_64 and i'm trying to get my netgear wg311v3 wireless card working like it did in 32bit 8.04. it installs via ndiswrapper but DMESG doesn't ever say "driver loaded"...any ideas? [04:13] hi, does anybody here use one of those 3 antenna PCI wireless adapters? [04:14] Mrono: I do a mount where I need to set the user. I use "uid=username" in the options portion [04:14] wolter metapiz... :) [04:14] Barridus, sudo update-grub [04:14] Mrono: I think the problem you have is the space between user and robert [04:14] i removed the name now it's saying bad superblod or wronf fs type but i know it's ext3 [04:15] sylphid, what does that do please? [04:15] Suidog - too bad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable claims, that you dont need a crossover cable for gigabit, not below. [04:15] <_VIM_> wolter: you want something lighter than Gnome? there's Xubuntu [04:15] Izinucs, ,,, [04:15] Barridus, rebuilds /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:15] _VIM_, no, I just want a window managwer [04:15] Mrono: hang on and I'll pastebin mine.. you can use it as an example.. [04:15] k thanks [04:15] _VIM_, I can handle compiz, but i want something else when I am not on AC, but not as ugly as metacity [04:15] <_VIM_> wolter: try fluxbox, openbox, icewm [04:16] anyone know how to tell which video driver my computer is running? [04:16] <_VIM_> wolter: maybe LXDE then [04:16] sylphid ok cool. [04:16] _VIM_, ok [04:16] i'm just curious why i can't roll back the headers though. do things get removed from repos? [04:16] finer_recliner, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:16] Mrono: http://pastebin.com/f4ee99eaf [04:17] @Sylphid, i already tried looking at my xorg.conf, but its more or less empty, all it has is an "identifier" line in the "device" section [04:18] Mrono: I'll do another from another machine .. hang on.. that last one was from my server.. [04:18] finer_recliner, you are probably using the vesa driver then [04:18] _VIM_, but LXDE is for gnome right? [04:18] just so i know i'm not going retarded, how do i check the partitions? [04:18] hi. I mounted an iso image of a DVD using Archive Mounter. how do I play this using Totem/VLC? [04:18] Mrono: http://pastebin.com/f5756291b [04:18] is there a command to force my computer to use the intel video driver [04:18] wolter: lxde is a separate desktop environment. I think it also uses gtk for its widget toolkit but it can work without gnome [04:19] <_VIM_> LXDE is it's own Desktop environment wolter [04:19] lstarnes, _VIM_, i want something of the type of compiz and metacity, but like in between: no cool effects, but nice window moving--smooth. [04:19] Mrono: the first harddrive is sda .. the first partition on the first drive is sda1 the second sda2.. the second harddrive is sdb then the first partition sdb1 and the second sdb2 etc.. [04:20] <_VIM_> wolter: LXDE should provide that at least [04:21] yeah [04:21] i know it's sdb1 [04:21] with my power cable connected to my notebook, my ubuntu often claims, i would be running on battery. doesnt happen in win. Is this a know bug or just a crappy notebook? unplugging and replugging "repairs", but the message will come up again some time later. anyone else expiriencing this? [04:21] I have ubuntu without a desktop environment installed. Is there any way to adjust the font size? [04:21] _VIM_, can I do lxde --replace to use it? [04:21] How do I figure out what version of ubuntu I'm running? [04:21] thats what I want. something simple. Something I don't have to boot in. [04:22] godzirra: in a terminal "lsb_release -a" no quotes [04:22] hmw: on a rare occation on my dell vostro 1400 .. mostly I think that it might be a cold solder joint.. but you might have the right idea. [04:22] i've been been messing around with various repo packages trying different things to see what ubuntu can do. i'm sure there's a few things that got installed as dependencies that i no longer need. is there an easy way to locate/clean some of that off? [04:22] Hello All :) [04:22] IndyGunFreak: thakns [04:22] Trying to get virtualbox running on an HP Mini. [04:22] Barridus: sudo apt-get autoclean [04:23] Izinucs - since it never happens with windows, hardware is not under suspicion [04:23] <_VIM_> wolter: you can try, im not totally sure on that one sorry [04:23] Barridus: sudo apt-get autoremove .. something like that [04:23] Hey there guys.....i just installed ubuntu ...but i am having a problem here [04:23] IndyGunFreak: Uh, that gave me some info, but didn't say anything like "Ubuntu Hardy" or anything. [04:23] iguess because its hp and they don't want it to say ubuntu. [04:23] _VIM_, but, metacity and compiz are window managers right? Or am I using the wrong term? [04:23] when i search for anything to install with apt-get install .... i cant find it :( === lstarnes is now known as sheep [04:23] Okay googling found it.. its based on hardy heron 8.0.4 [04:23] godzirra: it shoulda told you what version it was.... [04:23] hmw: like I said.. not sure where it comes from but if you know how to fix it.. good.. you might consider filing a bug but against what package I don't know. [04:24] <_VIM_> wolter: yeah [04:24] godzirra: what type of PC is it? [04:24] Hi all [04:24] wolter: compiz is a composite manager (think of an additional 3d layer for window managers) - but i think, i saw something about using compiz as a window manager, too, but it would have to be configured that way [04:24] But when I try and install a deb, its telling me that "dpkg: error processing virtualbox-i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (lpia)" [04:24] cobra-the-joker: Try going to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [04:24] IndyGunFreak: Its an HP Mini.

[04:24] That. [04:24] Izinucs - lol. well... okay. its not really killing me. thx [04:24] Can anyone help me get finish my server set up on my Ubuntu 8.10? I am 75% there already, just struggling :( [04:24] now i've just got /dev/sdb1 /data ext2 defaults 0 0 but when i try to access it i get permission denied [04:25] bluefox815 ....found only the installed packages on my system [04:25] cobra-the-joker: depends on what you are looking for-- for java , flash and things like that you have to goto software sources and enable multiverse [04:25] <_VIM_> it's still a window manager hmw according to Wikipedia [04:25] hmw, oh ok [04:25] Izinucs, thanks that removed some stuff (although less than i thought) gonna reboot, cross your fingers please :) [04:25] godzirra: i see... [04:25] hmw, so i need a composite manager, not a window manager [04:25] IndyGunFreak: and i'm trying to install virtualbox on it so that I can run GSAK (geocaching software) [04:25] redvamp128 ..ok ...will try === Jobec is now known as Jocbec [04:25] cobra-the-joker: What version of Ubuntu do you have? [04:25] wolter : compviz i think [04:25] hello [04:25] IndyGunFreak: but it seems to think I don't have an i386 system. [04:25] 8.04 [04:25] i got one problem [04:25] didnt had this problem before though [04:26] godzirra: what is the output of uname -a [04:26] <_VIM_> !enter | cobra-the-joker [04:26] cobra-the-joker: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:26] wolter: you could simply turn off all the unneccesary plugins for compiz. you can even make it look like no compiz would be running at all. [04:26] Mrono, nah, I need something not as ugly as metacity, but not as cool as compiz when I am on battery power [04:26] does anyone know how to take a screenshot while the cube is in motion [04:26] i don't find the add-ons to download a movie about censorship in Italy [04:26] hmw, yeah, but when I want to use them? Thats too complicated. [04:26] IndyGunFreak: Linux shawn-umpc 2.6.2419-lpia #1 i686 GNU/Linux [04:26] Apple43, awk should be able to do it... though i dont know the syntax off the top of my head [04:26] Apple43, tail and head ie tail -100 filename | head -2 this will get you two lines 99 and 100 [04:26] <_VIM_> !codecs | Pavlz [04:26] Pavlz: 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 [04:27] godzirra: well, thats 32bit [04:27] does anyone know how to take a screenshot while the cube is in motion [04:27] IndyGunFreak: and that means..? [04:27] wolter: using a composite manager means, that every window gets its own memory area for drawing itself onto, and the composite manager composes those images to one screen, therefore 3d transformations can be done. without a composite manager, every window will get "redraw" commands from the system, once they need to be refreshed. composite means slower. [04:27] cobra-the-joker: That's strange, did you perform any major/minor system changes before this started happening? [04:27] redvamp128 .... should i choose to download from the main server ? [04:27] #compiz [04:27] that the error youre getting, is incorrect [04:27] transporter: hit print-screen [04:27] Izinucs: lemme try it [04:27] i convert in ogg then [04:28] IndyGunFreak: Well crud. [04:28] its in the ubuntu software tab --(software sources) [04:28] i use ffmpeg2theora [04:28] jrib: what would cause a usb mouse to work only with mouse buttons activated but then only as long as none of the mouse buttons were acxtually touched? [04:28] IndyGunFreak: Should I force it and see if it works? [04:28] cobra-the-joker: for me I have the first 4 checkmarked [04:28] jrib: and how do i fix that [04:28] hmw, no problem. I understant that. I just said I want something not as minimalistic as metacity, and not as resource hugging as compiz, to use it either when I am low on battery power or want to run 3d games. [04:28] godzirra: I don't have much vb experience to really give you a good, informed answer [04:28] bluefox815 ....none .... just installed it [04:28] vb? [04:28] Ah. [04:28] okay. [04:28] i need only to download a movie about the censorship in Italy that is on youtube and is a file *.flv [04:29] Izinucs: well to initiate the cube its set to ctrl + alt + button1 so its difficult to press the print screen button [04:29] wolter: you could install "fusion-icon" and simply turn off compiz when needed. it also lets you access compiz config more conviniently [04:29] Well crud.

[05:13] thank you soooo much [05:13] entro_, shift + super + c [05:13] Izinucs, yeah the UI is a bit wonky; but it seems good enough [05:13] thanks a lot [05:13] hmw: i'm so lost [05:13] meoblast001 - i can imagine [05:13] I have Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 (2 Mo cache/1,83GHz), shouldn't I be better off with 64-bit version? [05:13] my laptop was burning up [05:14] prologic: sorry 'bout that.. sould be that you're suffering the bug that can't figure out the layout of the drive. search launchpad for the bug [05:14] Sylphid , is this command updates the hole system? [05:14] should = could [05:15] Anyone have any ideas why in the "Prepare Partitions" screen of the Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, the options are all grayed out ? This is on a -brand- new PC with a SATA II disk. A previous suggestion of adding lspci=nomsi to the kernel boot options did not work. [05:15] hmw: how would i reinstall my forums and such with backed up sql files? [05:15] Joram, in a nutshell: Not necessarily. 64-bit doesn't make things "faster." It just makes certain, very specific tasks faster, like converting audio and video files. [05:15] Izinucs, would it perhaps have anything to do with buggered up BIOS settings for the drive ? [05:15] cobra-the-joker, no sudo apt-get upgrade gets the system update just refreshes the cashe [05:15] meoblast001 - i think its "du / -s -S -h" (its still running here *g*) [05:15] cache* [05:15] prologic: can u right mouse click on the partition & select unmount .. may be that's the issue [05:15] ok [05:16] meoblast001 - there is some sort of export for databases, would have to ask google on how to. [05:16] Mrono, can you ls /media/ ?? [05:16] Joram: Also, unless you have more than 4GB, it's just not really necessary. Plus, some 64-bit apps in Linux are flaky or non-existent [05:16] prologic: maybe but unlikely.. some motherboards have 2 different types of sata connections where one will work only when something is in the other.. I have that on a xfx board I run. [05:16] hmw: wth permission denied [05:16] meoblast001 - sudo [05:16] raheem, you mean it's possible the live cd mounted the partision(s) ? (being a brand new disk I wouldn't think it would have any!) [05:16] prologic: they're color coded.. [05:17] hmw: i'm too stressed to think of that on my own :P [05:17] arvind_k: i can ls it but i get permission denied spam for every file [05:17] Adobe doesn't make a Flash player for x86-64 [05:17] meoblast001 - hmm... didnt work as expected here... i am still trying to find the correct switches [05:17] hmw: still get permission denied [05:17] Izinucs, I have a single SATA II disk and an IDE DVD/RW. I'm guessing it matter which SATA port I plug the HDD into ? [05:17] bwahaha i got it now [05:17] hmw: how do i get the size of a directory? [05:17] had to do it with naut [05:18] meoblast001, du -s -h [05:18] meoblast001 - thats the big question... i read the man page, you could try google meanthilw [05:18] brb rebooting to make sure it persists [05:18] meanwhile [05:18] wtf [05:18] i'm deleting ~/.gvfs [05:18] grrr i was wrong mouse just stopped working while i was playing a game in wine [05:18] rm * [05:19] meoblast001: du -h dir/ [05:19] Or they do make a flash player and mine doesn't work [05:19] i guess oi will just have to return this usb mouse and get a ps/2 mouse [05:19] wth [05:19] it's 0 [05:19] device or busy resource my ass [05:19] prologic: no.. what I'm saying is that some motherboards have 2 differently colorcoded sata inputs.. if that is your case then look in the manual for the difference.. one will probably work only if the other has something in it..

Anyway, rebooted again, didn't mount. Tried assemble again, and now it says assembled from 3 drives and 1 spare, and that it couldn't start the array. All of the drives [06:00] show up in gparted, what gives?

Right now i have an Ubuntu server v8.10 setup with DHCP3 DNS UFW allowing mail/web/ssh ports and Samba Fileserver [06:04] how do i install notify-osd on intrepid? :D [06:04] Frijolie, if its ntfs/vfat filesystem - i belive you can insdtall/run the ntfs-config tool. and check a few check boxc's and then it will let users fully access the eternal media [06:05] I'm trying to get my USB headset to work with Ubuntu Studio, and when I click "test" next to it in Preference->Sound, it says "Could not open device for playback". How do I "open" it? [06:05] Frijolie, if its ext2/3 - then you must set the permissions/ownership - after its mounted [06:05] dr_Willis, na, it's ext3 [06:05] Frijolie, same as if it was an internal disk [06:05] Frijolie, shareing ext2 Thumbdrives btween systems/disrtos can be annoying due to this [06:05] dr_Willis, Nautilus says "permissions could not be determined" [06:06] Frijolie, use the shell. Mount the thing, then sudo chown Youruser.youruser /media/MOUNTPOINT [06:06] You must chown it AFTER its mounted. :) [06:06] dr_Willis, and the chmod u+x /media/disk runs (no errors) and still get "Permission Denied" [06:07] dr_Willis, alright I'll try the ownership thing instead of permissions [06:07] you may of just chmod'd the mount mouint.. BEFOR it was mounted.. that wont apply after its mounted. [06:07] dr_Willis, yeah its automagically mounted upon insertion [06:08] Frijolie, You may want to cd to the device. and as root chown/chmod the files/dirs on the device not the 'root' of the device [06:08] So..can anyone help me?

[07:21] iCondoulo: press the F5 or F4 key after you enter the language [07:21] acfrazier, didnt the blog help? [07:21] tiger_90__ oh, thats a different problem then. but i dont know about sound, so i cant help really. sorry. maybe someone else here can help you. [07:21] I've done both an mbrfix on the Windows partition, done a fs check from withing the Windows recovery thing, and done fixboot. [07:22] arvind_khadri: It resolved the issue of the sound being too low, but when I go to turn it down about 2/3 of the way down the sound is muted completely when it shouldn't be. Also plugging in a headset generates no sound. [07:22] hmw, thanks for your help though! [07:22] acfrazier, type alsamixer and check the levels for the mic... [07:22] HOw do I check what release of Ubuntu I am running? [07:23] Ascavasaion, lsb_release -a [07:23] arvind_khadri: Master is 82%, PCM 100%, front 100% I see no entry for "Mic" [07:23] arvind_khadri, I am using headphones and I get no sound either. [07:23] arvind_khadri: Thank you... I am running Hardy... is that correct? [07:24] Ascavasaion, you would get to know that from the command i gave [07:24] acfrazier, go to sounds and check whether you have an entry for mic. [07:24] arvind_khadri: I got it from that command you gave. Is it the current version? === doppler_ is now known as doppler|zzzZZZzz [07:25] tiger_90__, first check the levels in alsamixer. and see whether you have plugged the jack correctly or not [07:25] arvind_khadri: No, there is not. Not under any of the 3 things in the dropdown menu either. [07:25] Ascavasaion, its the current LTS release ..the latest stable release is ibex... [07:26] arvind_khadri: And how do I upgrade to ibex? [07:26] acfrazier, change the default mixer to alsa... [07:26] Peddy: you boot from ubuntu or windows hard drive when you trun on pc? [07:26] arvind_khadri: Or is Hardy the latest? [07:26] arvind_khadri, everything is plugged in correctly. it just quit without me even messing with the sound. [07:27] arvind_khadri: Still dead in the water. No sound from headphones, there's no entry for Mic either in Sounds nor Alsamixer.\ [07:27] Ascavasaion: to do a distro upgrade, you can run "sudo do-release-upgrade" in a terminal. intrepid ibex (8.10) is the latest [07:27] how do i make ubuntu avoid broken sections of my ram? [07:27] how do i get a init.d script to auto start [07:28] Does anyone here know why I can not adjust the size of the "Name" column in Nautilus to be smaller? I can make it larger but not smaller [07:28] arvind_khadri: Thank you so much. [07:28] arvind_khadri: I get a "no new release found" message. [07:30] Ascavasaion, you can update to ibex if you like [07:30] arvind_khadri: There isn't an entry in Sounds for Mic [07:31] arvind_khadri: I'm using just headphones, sound is my primary concern [07:32] acfrazier, check the levels of your mic [07:32] acfrazier, using the hardware [07:32] I accidentally deleted a partition table, now a disk shows as unallocated space... Is this reversable/recoverable? [07:33] Peddy, what filesystem? [07:33] Gumby, NTFS [07:34] Hi, every time I start pidgin it uses the same status message ! how can I change that ?

[07:43] mstksg: ctr+c or z [07:43] i figured. but i was afraid it'd damage something [07:43] kurrata, not ctrl z [07:43] would apt-get remove fix it? [07:43] thanks, Dracie. [07:43] mstksg, control c sends the end signal to a process [07:43] control z just suspends it in the background [07:44] thanks [07:44] i made the same mistake a year ago too [07:44] what if he's using synaptic! shit yall are some sorry assed tech support [07:44] rofl [07:44] i'm not using synaptic from command line. [07:44] i don't know about anyone else, but i've had problems cancelling things when they're installing (not when they're downloading, but when it's actually installing the program)... i normally try to cancel before it starts installing [07:44] can i apt-get remove the half-downloaded/half-installed packages and fix everything? or will they just go away by themselves [07:45] apt-get clean [07:45] should do the trick [07:45] thanks [07:45] I'm cloning this box to some newer hardware, so far I've moved my /home directory, but that didn't bring my apps, with it, what else should I copy to the target box? [07:46] mstksg: they should go away, but this is ubuntu after all [07:46] is there a force-quit escape sequence? [07:46] just for future reference [07:47] mstksg: ctrl+c or ctrl+z [07:47] ctrl+c just sends an end signal; ctrl+x suspends it [07:47] *ctrl+z [07:47] n2diy - boot from live cd, mount the drives and cp the whole / structure [07:47] er, i'll just keep on opening a new screen and running htop.

[07:50] cooldduuudde - /root is the home dir of the root user [07:51] cooldduuudde: cant be, because a normal user can not create content on /root/ [07:51] gotta love an operating system with a command as basic as "killall" [07:51] acfrazier, i would say cjheck the forums. and find out your exact sound card chipset. ive seen others in here ask about that. but never seen a definitive answer on it. [07:51] I [07:51] yeah. so can i make some config changes after wich it will make that directory home or sumthing, that can be accessed by a normal user?

Its very very likely that your question has been asked on the forums befor.. and proberly answered..

[07:54] ecoasian, what file? [07:54] cooldduuudde: as long as the directory and permissions are set right on it, you can change it in the /etc/passwd file [07:54] ecoasian - ic. i have no idea what could have happened. maybe you want to look into the way, how it is mounted. fstab maybe? hmm.

[07:55] ubottu, easy man [07:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about easy man [07:55] hmw: pardon? [07:56] Dracie: I could write to USB drive before updates. [07:56] cooldduuudde: although, I'm not sure what purpose it would serve, other than potentially messing up your system [07:57] gnea - his program tries to use /root as home dir. this seems not to be intentionally, cooldude said, he didnt log in as root. well.. maybe he has and didnt notice somehow or there is another reason, why google earth wants to write to /root. so changing permissions would not solve the real problem and probably introduce new ones. [07:57] hmw: probably due to sudo [07:57] gneat cooldduuudde - sudo might be the reason. did you start g-earth with sudo? [07:57] nope [07:58] ecoasian, you need to change the ownership of it probably sudo chown username:username /media/jumpdrive === MadMax is now known as Guest39105 [07:58] cooldduuudde - enter "whoami" in a terminal to determine, as what user you are logged on [07:58] cooldduuudde: then forget my suggestion, the error you recieved was correct.

I just installed and the drive i have is 1tb but it's only partitioned to use 4.6gb - clearly this is not right - qtparted gives me an error - "Error: File system was not cleanly unmounted! You should run e2fsck. Modifying an unclean file system could cause severe corruption." whats the cure? [08:48] Is Opera available in synaptic? If so, what do you search for? [08:49] Fudged_that_up, have you parted with ext3? [08:49] felixsulla, no at opera.com [08:49] Fudged_that_up: run e2fsck? [08:49] it should be, and tried that i had error too, i'll see what it says this time [08:49] felixsulla: http://www.opera.com/download/ [08:49] http://www.opera.com/browser/download/ [08:49] He's on the partition though, how would he unmount it?

[08:52] Well, wait until Jaunty - which comes with ext4, or you can play risqué and try Jaunty alpha 4, updating your kernel etc. [08:52] anything else help for me? [08:52] naranco, do you use firefox? [08:52] Incarus - uhm... maybe i have it due to some extra repositories... [08:52] anything else help for me? [08:52] hmw, yes [08:52] Incarus: I DO [08:52] anything else help for me? [08:52] i installed ubuntu on a laptop, everything seems to be fine, except one weird and annoyng thing: when i switch on and ubuntu "starts" to load it seems to actualy do nothing, but if press and gold some key it loads (the bard that moves left right is stopped if no key is pressed) and after progress bar appears i can release the key and loading continues normaly. Any suggestions how to repair this (ubuntu 8.10) [08:52] !patience | shabgard [08:52] shabgard: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [08:53] chu_ when is it released and if i try it now would i get to go proper without complkete re-instal? [08:53] i need a way to either play a sound every time a key is pressed, or else run a command every time a key is pressed [08:53] ideas? [08:53] naranco, do "ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" [08:53] it was working before Incarus [08:53] let me c [08:53] i know [08:54] I had to give myself permissions to edit my kmenuedit sudo chown -R username .config/ and now that I can make an entry, the entries aren't showing up in my kmenu...how do I fix this [08:54] April it will be stable... Have a look at #ubuntu+1, but pay attention to the title - I'm staying on 8.10 ('cause it works), even though Jaunty offers some fix.

I read your other message.. how can i install 8.10 to the hdd then? [08:55] naranco, try "sudo killall -s KILL firefox" and retry [08:55] i need a way to either play a sound every time a key is pressed, or else run a command every time a key is pressed [08:55] naranco, reinstall flash player [08:56] I can't answer that Fudged_that_up, I don't know.

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 ..." [09:14] thx, hmw [09:15] i tryed the "sudo xinit" like you advised but nothing happened. [09:15] ok the full problem [09:15] badyto - i would like to hear about your hardware [09:15] i start the live cd, the loading screen is ok, but then my monitor shuts off [09:15] people,tell me program in rep. for DESKTOP recording [09:15] badyto - nvidia? [09:16] badyto - i mean nvidia on a notebook? [09:16] im hearing the start sound though... i have 22" monitor and ati hd 3850 pci-e card [09:16] badyto, try these commands: "sudo killall kdm" + "X" and "kdm" and "sudo xinit" [09:16] . . . [09:16] with the "+" ? [09:16] badyto - is your graphics adapter dualhead? [09:16] no [09:17] whats a dual head? its a standard mainstream gpu [09:17] vga... [09:17] aolko: ive used vnc2swf in the past [09:17] badyto - does it have 2 connectors for monitors? [09:17] yes it has... === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [09:17] you thing that... [09:17] noo [09:17] badyto - can you try === Anakin is now known as Guest65639 [09:18] ok i will go ahead and try the other plug [09:18] :-) === Anakin- is now known as Anakin [09:18] but why doesnt this work like on win? [09:18] and how about "fresh" programs? [09:19] thanx though... i will go try this now [09:19] badyto, because linux got his own drivers [09:20] aolko, ? [09:20] Does the directory /tmp have a special role in Linux or Ubuntu? Where can I find a description about that role? [09:21] Incarus - more like gou vendors want to hide the fact, that they often sell drivers, that dont provide full functionality. you shall buy the more expensive "version of the card" which is in fact the same chip with drivers that activate more features. thats why we have problems with opensource gpu drivers - nobody knows how to program them [09:21] i asked about new progs [09:21] for what? [09:21] with graphical UI [09:21] bullgard4, yes [09:22] look like snagit e.t.c. [09:22] aolko, a firewall? [09:22] no [09:22] screen reconrding [09:22] video recording [09:22] i need a way to either play a sound every time a key is pressed, or else run a command every time a key is pressed [09:22] ideas? [09:23] Incarus: I asked " Where can I find a description about that role?" and you are answering: "Yes". [09:23] hello incarus: I typed sudo xinit but I got a series of errors. [09:23] diuneigh, cant help you without the errors [09:24] ok.. just a moment [09:24] diuneigh - you could also pastebin Xorg.1.log [09:24] bullgard4, no, you said "Does the directory /tmp have a special role in Linux or Ubuntu?", and i said yes. i dont know the second [09:24] Incarus: Thank you very much. [09:25] bullgard4, e.g. if you play a video in youtube it will save it in the /tmp directory [09:25] and.... [09:25] how use Darwin? [09:25] bullgard4, a couple of apps use the dir [09:25] (was fudged that up) I have found the cause of my problems! I am running livedisk and GParted. The drive is showing 925gb corrupted filesystem (about the same size as was used before i told it to format all!) then i have 7.8mb swapspace then ext3 of 5.3 followed by another 298mb of swap space, if i have 2 swap spoaces i assume it's safe to remove one of them [09:26] aolko, you mean the darwin kernel? [09:26] im back again... nothing doesnt work, im thinking about giving up on linux, whats the point when i cant even start the freakin liveCD... i cant imagine fixing a real issue... [09:26] bullgard4: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/tmp.html [09:26] badyto, try another distri [09:27] hmm [09:27] badyto: which livecd are you trying, and its possible that you have non standard hardware. the livecd is there to help test compatibility, obviously you have less luck than most with it [09:27] i heard that ubuntu has most support and users [09:27] i also had problems with opensuse (and my sis graca), but all-in-one its a good distri [09:27] im trying 8.10 [09:27] •Incarus• I got the linux prompt and types sudo xinit... then more text flashed at the end Fatal server error: addscreen/screeninit failed for driver 0 giving up.. unable to conect to x server [09:28] badyto i had issues with my other pc -0 nothing worked until yesterday when i removed a usb device and everything works.

[09:28] diuneigh , driver problem [09:28] aolko, i wouldn't do that [09:29] hi , can u suggest me text editor for linux , i want to request object`s method to be highlighted if it`s possible [09:29] i dont have no system, i cant even start the live cd, i cant see anything, and i cant install anything...

[09:32] russia [09:32] Gumby, they work, and sometimes really good [09:32] somtimes? [09:32] Gumby: flash crashes very occasionally (with an npviewer error), but apart from that, they're fine. [09:33] TecR0c, go to software sources under system > administration [09:33] Gumby: they're functional now, lol I know where you're coming from with that question. [09:33] Daft_Punk thats where i am looking. but i don't know what to do after that ? [09:33] what does swap_cache and cache mean in munin memory-monitor? [09:34] somebee, but you know what the swap is? [09:34] TecR0c, it is on the first tab, it should say "community-maintained open source software (universe)" just make sure the box is CHECKED next to it, then click apply and reload the sources by typing 'sudo apt-get updates' in a terminal [09:35] Daft_Punk thanks heaps ! :) [09:35] Incarus: thats what I'm asking :) [09:35] can anyone else help me? Im trying to start live CD, i see the load screen, but when the window manager should start my screen goes blank and stays that way... i hear the starting sound though. i have standard desktop computer, a mainstream ati radeon hd 3850 vga and a 22" monitor. no fancy HW... my cpu is intel e2160 [09:35] TecR0c, sorry its sudo apt-get update (not updates) [09:35] why gnash is sooooo slowly? [09:35] Incarus: I know what disk-swap is, but it cannot be that (on the graphs) [09:35] somebee, it have to [09:35] yep thanks :) [09:36] badyto, install using command line maybe. sounds to me that X cant detect the card or the monitor. you might need to edit xorg.conf manually or try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:36] Incarus: can I send you link to munin in a pm? The machine uses ~2gb mem, and has 8 total (all of which are detected and supported) [09:37] when you create a USB boot version of ubuntu, you can specify an amount of reserve space to save files/settings [09:37] somebee, sure [09:37] is there any way to change the size of that reserve space? [09:37] after the fact, that is [09:37] badyto - you could try another linux distro for checking, if it also refuses to boot [09:37] Gumby, you cant edit the xorg on a live cd [09:38] badyto, try starting the live cd in low graphics mode, when you are given the live cd boot options menu, there should be an option to start ubuntu in low graphics mode [09:38] I just don't know where to ask this..I have 3 partitions on one drive...one for ubuntu, one for vista, one for win 7..I can't seem to see anything on other partitions in any operating system..only in its own partition..how do I look across partitions? [09:38] Incarus, why not? [09:38] Gumby, because its an cd [09:38] -a [09:38] I want to use the internet to establish my own phone calls and connect me with my friends abroad (in other foreign countries), I was planning to buy a sim card or maybe rent a phone line in the other foreign country where my friends reside and have it connected to the internet all the time. Then on my end I do the same. This way, whenever I call my local phone line number, the call gets forwarded over the internet to my number which I === duni is now known as fire-fox [09:38] Incarus, have you tried? [09:39] Gumby, no [09:39] im not that experienced to wirite down the xorg.conf manualy... i will try the other thing. and than i will try to look for low graphics thingy, and than the old ubuntu cd somewhere deep in my desk... [09:39] dude7064, why dont you just use skype? [09:39] dude7064: people generally use skype for that [09:39] Gumby, cd's are readonly [09:39] Skype is expensive for the country I'm calling [09:39] Incarus, you do know the OS is running in memory right? And that its an image that is loaded when running the livecd [09:39] dude7064: only for skype out [09:39] dude7064, or ekiga [09:39] get your friends to use computers as well [09:39] dude7064, skype is free if you do pc-pc [09:39] Incarus, hell, you can install packages if you like assuming you have enough memory [09:39] dude7064, and computer-computer calls are not available to you? [09:39] I am already using skype,, [09:40] Gumby, he can also start the xserver with vesa drivers, i dont knwo the command [09:40] dude7064, so wht is yoru problem? [09:40] but not all my friends have PCs,, and internet is costly in the foreign country [09:40] Incarus, 1 line needs to be edited in xorg.conf and it is writable. try it [09:40] anyone know how to change the size of the reserve space in a USB installation of Ubuntu after the fact? [09:40] dude7064 - what is your actual question? you might want to look into asterisk [09:40] Incarus, running off of a livecd is not like reading a file from a cd [09:41] Gumby, he cant always do that [09:41] mstksg, use fdisk [09:41] Incarus, and why not? [09:41] dude7064, well unfortunately your question is not 'really' ubuntu related so I am not sure you will get what you are looking for here, I would suggest going ahead with the plan you mentioned earlier or talking to someone from a phone company for the cheapest options available to you [09:41] is there a commandline IRC? [09:41] acfrazier, irssi [09:41] acfrazier, yes irssi [09:41] beaten to the punch! [09:42] acfrazier - irssi or epic [09:42] Any networking channel here ? [09:42] what is 3.4×10^38 in english? [09:42] cyzie -- there seems to be no actual partitions on the usb drive [09:42] dude7064, no I don't believe so [09:42] mstksg, then format it [09:43] mstksg, ext3 === acfrazie1 is now known as acfrazier [09:43] how do I get kde4 back in kdm after upgrading? [09:43] dude7064 - maybe my client didnt show all your text. it ended with: " forwarded over the internet to my number which I" [09:43] ari_stress, what? [09:43] hmw, no, it was his client that didnt post the rest of the text since it was too long [09:43] Does anyone know why it is that the open dialog box in gnome sometimes opens really small like in the following picture: http://members.shaw.ca/halycon/EO/openbox.jpg [09:43] hi guys...I have a notification area setup, but nothing is displaying in it...is this a bug? [09:44] what is dude7064's question then? [09:44] Daft_Punk: it's ipv6 max address. i'm interested in how many in english, trillion, godzillion? 3.4×10^38 [09:44] halycon, bug, just resize it [09:44] Does anyone know how to fix the problem of no sound when I plug in my headset? It mutes the laptop speakers properly but nothing comes out of the headphones. It worked in Vista but I've moved to Linux and miss the headset functionality. [09:44] hmw, i believe he is looking for cheapest option to talk to someone in a foreign country, where they have no internet or PC and he wants to use his internet connection to call them, and he thinks skype is too expensive for the country he is calling [09:44] acfrazier, check setting using alsamixre [09:44] acfrazier, check setting using alsamixer [09:44] Incarus, oh ok thanks [09:45] ari_stress, ask google calculator? [09:45] hii! im on linux finaly!!! the graphics safe mode helped me :) [09:45] Daft_Punk if youre right, then i cant see any way to solve the problem... dont you agree? [09:45] dude7064, if you want to call for free, you can hack it, or use a black box [09:45] hmw, well it's not really an ubuntu support question... [09:45] cyzie: There appears to be no entry for the headset volume, even with Master at 100 nothing comes out [09:45] ok [09:46] thx for help :) [09:46] acfrazier, what kind of headset, USB or RCA jack [09:46] Inarus> black box ? can you please clarify ? [09:46] hmw, he could rent a storage facility with power, buy some hardware and a cell connection, dial into that using the net connection he pays for monthly and then out via an automatic old style dialer modem and voice stuff, but its way OTT and will cost 10x more than skype ;) [09:46] Daft_Punk, he said headset [09:46] dude7064, no, its illegal [09:46] Incarus, i don't believe giving the advice of hacking or stealing is a viable resolution in this support channel [09:47] Daft_Punk: RCA [09:47] Daft_Punk, rightä [09:47] Daft_Punk: Plugs into the front [09:47] acfrazier, ok, it could potentially be an issue with your sound card then, not having proper drivers for that port [09:47] acfrazier, is this a laptop or desktop [09:47] Daft_Punk: laptop [09:47] acfrazier: check the headset works now, it mightv worked before with vista, but you mightv broken the headphones since [09:47] acfrazier, ok yeah it might be the drivers then i would assume [09:48] !topic [09:48] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [09:48] badyto - you can boot into normal mode, then switch to the console (ctrl-alt-f2) and examine /var/log/Xorg.0.log - or even pastebin it [09:48] lcukx41: The headset works with my iPod, just not with the computer [09:48] acfrazier, do you know what your sound card is [09:48] Daft_Punk: Not off hand, but I can go look it up [09:48] ok acfrazier that diagnoses that problem === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [09:48] hi [09:49] acfrazier, what version of ubuntu are you using and what current sound drivers are you using? [09:49] acfrazier - headphones are normal analog ones? sounds like a broken connector to me [09:49] acfrazier, try to turn up the volume with the alsamixer [09:49] hmw, he said that he just installed ubuntu (if im correct) and it was working fine in vista [09:49] i'm using webmin to ease my fixing of a busted system....... i tried copying mysql files over but got this "SQL show index from `mg_adminlog` failed : Can't find file: './mybb/mg_adminlog.frm' (errno: 13)" where should ./mybb be? [09:49] Daft_Punk: 8.10, and I'm using ALSA for sound [09:49] Incarus: Tried that, no dice. [09:49] acfrazier, did you just upgrade to 8.10 or did you do a fresh install [09:50] Daft_Punk: fresh install [09:50] meoblast001, in the current working directory of the app [09:50] acfrazier, have you tried the pulseaudio sound server for your sound? [09:50] Incarus: where is "the app"? [09:50] Daft_Punk acfrazier - oh, i see. thats strange, the system doesnt get notified about a headphone plugged in (assumed its a normal analog one) is it usb or bluetooth? [09:50] meoblast001, try "sudo find / -name mybb [09:50] Incarus: in the working directory of mysql? [09:50] " [09:50] meoblast001, could be [09:51] hmw, he said it is analogue, its a laptop, plugs into the front [09:51] mybb is forums software [09:51] Incarus: do i have to copy my forums over first? [09:51] no [09:51] Daft_Punk: Yes, I switched from that because I was experiencing an extremely low volume problem, even at 100% it was barely audible [09:51] meoblast001, just the missing files [09:51] I cannot adjust the brightness of my screen. Using the function keys, or the brightness applet results in no change of brightness. Any ideas? [09:51] acfrazier, so the pulseaudio server was working for your headset then? it was just low volume? [09:51] Incarus: and would those be in the same location as my forums? [09:51] Daft_Punk: No, it wasn't working for that either. [09:51] is there anything else I can do to lower my cpu utilization? I've installed the xubuntu desktop [09:52] acfrazier, so you did not get the headset working at any point with ubuntu? [09:52] Daft_Punk: Nope. [09:52] acfrazier, ok, can you tell us which sound card you have? [09:52] acfrazier, or at least your computer make/model [09:52] meoblast001, i think so, where is a dot before ("./xyz" [09:52] ) [09:52] Daft_Punk: AlsaMixer reports it as a SigmaTel STAC9205, computer is a Gateway T-1616 [09:52] acfrazier, ok ill check into that [09:53] aniiena, you can install the lxde desktop [09:53] Hey guys, I need help with a problem, I'm not getting any sound out of my speakers.. [09:53] Hey all, is there a way to get a USB disk to synchronize with a certain folder/partition automatically when it connects? [09:53] how do i create a symolic link between folders ? [09:53] DPCP: are your mixer settings correct? [09:53] TecR0c, with link [09:54] Daft_Punk - do you have any idea, what could be causing this? according to my knowledge, the symptom should not be possible. [09:54] TecR0c: also: see "man ln" [09:54] Yea, they are fine, my friend suggested that my speakers weren't set as the default playing device but I'm not quite sure how to set them.. Running: xubuntu [09:54] hmw, i believe it would be an improper sound driver [09:54] acfrazier - open 2 terminals and tail -f /var/log/messages and tail -f /var/log/syslog - do any messages appear upon plugging the headphone? [09:55] hmw, or perhaps the sound driver is not fully supporting the hardware [09:55] Daft_Punk - but the system doesnt do anything with the plug... thats completely mechanical, as far as i thought [09:55] Well there is a "Front" volume, even when that's all the way up no sound plays from the headphones [09:55] hmw, yes [09:56] thijs_ Yea, they are fine, my friend suggested that my speakers weren't set as the default playing device but I'm not quite sure how to set them.. Running: xubuntu [09:56] Incarus: ? [09:56] And I know it's not a port issue because I can plug the headset into the ajacent mic port on the same connector and get static [09:56] hmw, right [09:56] hello [09:56] Incarus - what right... the mechanical thing? [09:56] anyone who knows how to get kde4 into kdm? [09:56] hmw, the system doesnt do anything with my plug either... it just xfers the sound from laptop speakers to my headset [09:56] thanks for tips guys [09:56] hmw, yes, the mechanical thing [09:57] DPCP: Ah, i wouldn't know where in X these settings are, can you configure your sound device through the soundspeaker icon in your tray? [09:57] hmw: I know it's doing something because I can plug the headphones in and the laptop speakers correctly mute [09:57] Incarus this is what i am trying to do . create a directory into a globally accessible location (/usr/local/msf) and then create symnbolic links from the msf* applications to a directory in the system path (/usr/local/bin) [09:57] thijs_ Hang on a second I'll check.

[09:58] TecR0c, "link --help" [09:58] but i am unsure on what i am ment to link between the msf and the /usr/local/bin [09:58] thijs_ Good call, I was able to set it as the default device alright. I'll just test it now, brb. [09:58] Incarus - well. then the problem is really interesting. maybe there is a partly broken cable involved? acfrazier: the mute is also a simple mechanical switch built into the plug, so i am not surprised about the mute. if you wouldnt have said, it works in vista, i would say, its defentively a broken connection somewhere on the board [09:58] DPCP: good luck :) [09:58] i want my all my fonts to have the same rendering settings like the ones i have for my gnome desktop. what do i put on my .fonts.conf to do that?

[09:59] Подскажите просмоторщик картинок ... ? [09:59] Incarus would i do link /usr/local/msf /usr/local/bin/msf ? [09:59] Daft_Punk: But I didn't upgrade, it was a clean install. [09:59] TecR0c, try it [09:59] is that what it wants me to do [09:59] !libcrss [09:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about libcrss [09:59] Incarus this is what i am trying to do . create a directory into a globally accessible location (/usr/local/msf) and then create symnbolic links from the msf* applications to a directory in the system path (/usr/local/bin) [09:59] hmw, acfrazier it seems the issue is with gateway t model laptops (doesnt mean you have to have upgraded) [09:59] !ru [09:59] !dvd [09:59] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [09:59] 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 [10:00] hi [10:00] acfrazier, if you read the comments, other users with gateway t model laptops have the same problem, have you tried booting the system with the headphones plugged in? [10:00] I have 3 virtual machines. 2 running Windows XP Pro, 1 running Server 2008 Enterprise. I have a quad core CPU with 4GB of RAM. I have 2 questions: 1. What specs should I give my virtual machines? 2. Which host OS should I use? Windows Vista x64, Ubuntu 8.10 or Mac OS X Leopard? (VMware Fusion vs VMware Workstation) [10:00] Daft_Punk: No, I have not. [10:00] DPCP: Are the settings for all devices you can configure through that interface set correctly? try messing with different setting combinations for the devices, I'm runing gnome, and I've found that only some configurations work correctly (especially when you have multiple sound outputs) [10:01] TecR0c, http://help.hardhathosting.com/question.php/95 [10:01] acfrazier, it could be a bug with 8.10, i would say boot the computer with the headset plugged in, then if it works, try downgrading the system to 8.04 and it would potentially work [10:01] thijs_ I'm a noob to linux, and I'm afraid I didn't quite follow that.. [10:01] Daft_Punk: I was considering trying the development build of 9.04, but as far as I know there's no way to upgrade from what I've got [10:01] thijs_ How do I mess with the settings? [10:01] DPCP: ah, ok, well, are the volume levels for your device set correctly? [10:01] acfrazier, well, 8.10 is "fairly" new release, 8.04 would have less bugs... [10:01] thijs_ I think so. [10:02] TravelByHuman, linux is a good choose [10:02] acfrazier, also 8.04 is long term support until 2011 so we would still support you in this channel [10:02] linux rules [10:02] Daft_Punk: I tried 8.04 when it was initially released, it didn't support my wireless, that's primarily why I didn't switch to Linux back then [10:02] !best [10:02] DPCP: for instance, if you select the proper default device for playback, are all the switches set to full volume? [10:02] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:02] Incarus: Okay... what about the specs (question 1.) [10:02] TravelByHuman, don't know [10:02] acfrazier, well that was since its initial release, it could have been resolved by now [10:02] thijs_ NOpe they aren't all set to full. [10:02] TravelByHuman, i dont use virtual things [10:03] Daft_Punk: But is the actual .iso image updated? [10:03] acfrazier, before jumping to conclusions, try booting your system with the headset plugged in and give that a go [10:03] Incarus when i try to do that command i get, link: cannot create link /usr/local/msf to /usr/local/bin/msf: file exists ? [10:03] DPCP: try setting them to full, on all possible devices, and then go through each device, testing whether the sound works [10:03] acfrazier, no i dont believe so, do you not have access to a direct connection to the internet via ethernet cable? [10:03] :P [10:03] thijs_ oh god lol.. Brb. [10:03] Daft_Punk: Not at the moment, which is why I would refrain from downgrading as I wouldn't be able to update to fix my wireless problem [10:03] TecR0c, is /usr/local/msf empty? [10:04] Daft_Punk: there's one more problem I've been having with sound [10:04] acfrazier, well, boot your system with the headset plugged in, then let me know how that went, we can go from there [10:04] Daft_Punk: I'll try that, then we can work on resolving the problem I've been having with the volume control. [10:04] TecR0c, or do you try to symlink directorys? [10:04] acfrazier, if you had issues with pulseaudio server, i would still assume this is all an issue with the driver [10:04] Daft_Punk: Thankfully this isn't a 5 hour reboot, I'll be right back. [10:04] k [10:05] thijs_ I'll get my friend to come up later and have a look at it :P Thanks for all the help though! :) [10:05] TravelByHuman: it maybe better to try in #ubuntu-virt [10:05] no worries [10:05] Hey all, is there a way to get a USB disk to synchronize with a certain folder/partition automatically when it connects? [10:05] TecR0c, try it with /. : /usr/local/msf/ to /usr/local/bin/msf/ [10:05] is there anything else except for libdvdcss2 that ineed to install in order to be ableto play dvds? [10:06] InDaLivingRoom, no [10:06] InDaLivingRoom, libdvdcss2 is the dvd encryption decoder [10:06] Incarus: why dont i get to see any content then?several different mnedia.... [10:06] quibbler: Just did [10:06] InDaLivingRoom, ? [10:06] am having issues getting screen resolution changed. am used to specifying in xorg.conf but things different with ubuntu. help please... [10:07] Incarus: i know... when i try to mount the rom manually it tells me no media found [10:07] thijs_, you can write a script [10:07] Incarus: and nothing popsup asking me how to open the media... [10:07] InDaLivingRoom, the dvd? it have to work [10:07] guys is it normal that my HOME folder is my Desktop?????? [10:07] no [10:07] incarus dvds nd music cds alike... [10:07] InDaLivingRoom, which command did u use? [10:08] Incarus: I know, i'm using rsync, but how do I invoke it on connection of the device? [10:08] Daft_Punk were you answering to me? [10:08] hralem no, but there is a way to make it so. its strange that you dont know about having it set that way [10:08] sudo mount /media/cdrom /cdrom0 which usually does the job just fine... [10:08] harlemdavvey, yup [10:08] Incarus: is there a trigger I can use? [10:08] thijs_, don't know [10:08] :S [10:08] harlemdavvey no, but there is a way to make it so. its strange that you dont know about having it set that way [10:08] Incarus: that was supposed to mean either cdrtom or cdrom0 === rossi is now known as Blacki [10:09] InDaLivingRoom, dvd's are /dev/dvd, not cdrom [10:09] this seems to resolve the issue [10:09] ?? [10:09] acfrazier, does your headset work [10:09] acfrazier Daft_Punk seems like he rebooted [10:09] screen resolution, how do i set? [10:09] hmw, i told him to, lol [10:09] Incarus: that would bethe block device which is still being mounted to /media/cdrom...? [10:09] hmw i know i had set it someway but i don't know how to revert the things xD [10:10] Daft_Punk yea i saw [10:10] could someone help me? [10:10] Daft_Punk: yes, and leaving it plugged in before booting, I heard the boot sound through the headset [10:10] so yes, it works [10:10] hmw, if his headset does work now, then its the bug that was reported in that link [10:10] InDaLivingRoom, try to mount /dev/dvd and insert the dvd first [10:10] What's the best file-system for holding VMware Images? (for running on Linux, Mac and Windows) - Ext3, HFS+ or NTFS? [10:10] let me get out of the terminal [10:10] acfrazier, ok its the bug in the link i gave you, so it was reported already [10:10] Incarus: anyways mount /dev/dvd also states no media found... [10:10] acfrazier, not much you can REALLY do about that sorry [10:11] InDaLivingRoom, hm [10:11] Incarus: indeed:D [10:11] InDaLivingRoom, did you insert a dvd? [10:11] Incarus: sure did [10:11] Hello, i installed Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid 64 bit , the ubuntu recognize only 3.2 GB out of 8 GB ? [10:11] went into pidgin [10:11] InDaLivingRoom, k [10:11] harlemdavvey: open configuration editor go to apps-nautilus-perferences uncheck desktop is home dir [10:11] acfrazier, ok, so you are a victim of the bug in the link i showed you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/306755 [10:11] Daft_Punk: this seems to be the case [10:11] Incarus: k? [10:11] acfrazier, unfortunately it doesnt seem resolved through any updates yet, and it was reported already [10:11] ahmed5482: it is most likely a limitation of your bios [10:12] InDaLivingRoom, no idea [10:12] harlemdavvey - maybe this post helps you: I accidentally changed the name of the desktop folder from Desktop to desktop. Then next time I logged in, the desktop was my home directory. The fix it to go to edit ~/.config/users.dirs.dirs and change the line XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/" to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop". Log out and back in. Using Ubuntu 7.10. [10:12] Daft_Punk: I also have another sound issue, I have no idea if it's related, but [10:12] acfrazier, options would be to not use the headset, or to make sure you reboot before using them and just keep them plugged in, or downgrade to hardy heron [10:12] Incarus: gawd... thanks for the attempt anyways... [10:12] ahmed5482, it could be broken space, try to part, or free space wipe [10:12] hi all. do i need the virtualbox-ose-modules, if ubuntu is the host system? or is that package required to provide certain host capabilites for ubuntu? [10:13] Incarus: how i can do that ? i am new to Ubuntu [10:13] ahmed5482: you are talking about physical ram right? [10:13] Daft_Punk: The volume control built into GNOME doesn't seem to be entirely accurate, the sound is muted about 2/3 of the way down the slider [10:13] hmw: do you think this will work good in ubuntu 8,10? [10:13] chrisp1: yes] [10:13] Daft_Punk: same applies to AlsaMixer [10:13] ahmed5482, ask somebody else [10:13] rdz - is required. must match kernel version. maybe you will want to keep older kernels, because the modules arent always available for the newest kernel (you can still compile them yourself) [10:13] acfrazier, the jog dial for your volume is part of your sound card, and it would probably be related to the sound driver not working properly for your sound card [10:13] What's the best file-system for holding VMware Images? (for running on Linux, Mac and Windows) - Ext3, HFS+ or NTFS? [10:13] ahmed5482: it has to be your bios... i see this all of the time... what is your MB? [10:13] harlemdavvey - i dont know, but i guess yes. if you find that setting, its very likely, that it will work [10:14] acfrazier, until a patch or upgrade for the driver is released to resolve this issue, it doesnt seem like there is much you can do about it except live with it [10:14] TravelByHuman, they are all good [10:14] ok, i'm trying now;) hmw thnks so much nayway [10:14] which is the better of the 3? [10:14] TravelByHuman, ntfs [10:14] Daft_Punk: Well the slider isn't that big of an issue, I got the problem of the low volume resolved by switching to ALSA [10:14] ok [10:14] Daft_Punk: So I can live with it definately [10:14] chrisp1: Intel DG965WH === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [10:14] I have installed intrepid on my 8gb pen drive. I store all my documents and videos etc on it. how do i find out how much space if left for my use? [10:14] acfrazier, well, the people that posted the bug, they said that it works fine in hardy heron (8.04) so you couuld try that, but potentially be faced with a wireless issue === entro_ is now known as entrooo [10:15] acfrazier, one way to CHECK is to burn 8.04 onto a LIVE cd and boot to it and see if your wireless works out of the box [10:15] TravelByHuman, ntfs is compatible with windows, linux and mac [10:15] * TravelByHuman goes to give his Server image 2GB of RAM, his XP Pro images 512MB of RAM (each) & to format a hard-drive partition (100GB) to NTFS === sean is now known as Guest20373 [10:15] Daft_Punk: The huge turn off for linux was not being able to hear stuff clearly due to the low volume, and yes, I'll give that a try. The one thing I checked off the bat in Intrepid was the wireless [10:15] can i write data from linux to ntfs secure ? [10:15] shavin, just right click [10:16] sky_, secure? [10:16] right click the usb drive? [10:16] sky_, by secure do you mean safely? [10:16] oh yeah [10:16] my en suxx sry :D [10:16] sky_, yes, you can [10:16] hmw: is it normal that my users.dirs.dirs file is blank?? [10:16] !hi [10:16] shavin, right click the usb device folder in /media/ [10:16] acfrazier, well it's not really the fault of linux so much, because the companies that make the hardware for your computer only support windows officially, so whoever makes the hardware, releases a driver for WINDOWS, but not for linux, so one has to be coded... which of course can lead to bugs [10:16] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [10:16] hmw, yeah.. i actually asked because of the fact, that sometimes the newest kernel version is missing.. thanks a lot for the info [10:16] •Incarus• I googled it but not getting anywhere... [10:17] ahmed5482: board supports the total ram... are all of the chips the same or are they mix and match? same speed, inserted as pairs for the DDR? [10:17] diuneigh, what was your problem? i forgot it [10:17] acfrazier, some computers work better with linux than others, luckily i use an old laptop and everything that i need works... probably some stuff that doesnt tho like the card reader but i dont use it [10:17] Daft_Punk: Would it do me any good to post inside that bug report saying I can confirm the issue, or would that not contribute to the final resolution of the problem? [10:17] •Incarus• video driver... basically.. it seems that there is no fix....http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [10:17] Daft_Punk: you are offtopic [10:17] acfrazier, but the pros do tend to outweigh the cons, for instance: no viruses, ever [10:17] !offtopic [10:17] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:18] Incarus: strange. the /media/ is empty! [10:18] rdz: think *g* its user-dirs.dirs [10:18] diuneigh, try another distri [10:18] acfrazier, it wouldnt hurt to say what model you have of computer and what card you have, saying that the bug applies to you as well [10:18] shavin, you have to mount your usb device first [10:18] Daft_Punk: That was one of the main reasons I switched to linux, no viruses unless you're stupid enough to let them install [10:18] Daft_Punk: Do you have the link to the bug report? [10:18] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/306755 [10:18] But i am running ubuntu from it. is it safe to do that? [10:18] •Incarus• so I am out of luck with Ubuntu then? how about debian lenny then? [10:19] diuneigh, no! [10:19] diuneigh, don't use debian [10:19] diuneigh: switching between distros you can solved your problems === Keith_ is now known as Keith [10:19] diuneigh: you cant [10:19] diuneigh, you can try opensuse [10:19] •Incarus• what do you suggest? [10:19] ... [10:19] I have installed Ubuntu with Wubi, so now i have an Dualboot, but can i now install Xubuntu with Wubi to make an tripleboot? [10:20] diuneigh, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make your video card use a vesa driver [10:20] tehKitten, yes, but backup grub file [10:20] Thanks! [10:20] •Incarus• ok... the problem is the nvidia GeForce driver.. [10:20] !virus [10:20] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [10:21] Gumby: I am having a screen resolution issue and that just caused the display not to come up [10:21] I try to mount my boot pen drive but it says cannot mount volume [10:21] hey my computers gotten a bit slow and hangs up it never used to anyone got any tips [10:21] chrisp1, thats nice. what would you like me to do about it?

[10:21] diuneigh, yeah, try another distri [10:21] thanks too incarus [10:21] np [10:21] Can someone please repeat everything after the colon word for word (it's for my log): TravelByHuman: Will go to give his Server image 2GB of RAM, his XP Pro images 512MB of RAM (each) & to format a hard-drive partition (100GB) to NTFS [10:21] Incarus: thats fail :p [10:21] sorry... I have been having similar problems and looking for help [10:21] diuneigh, there is no reason you cant get X running with your setup [10:22] acfrazier, see private msg [10:22] chrisp1, you are going to have to be a bit more specific [10:22] Thisdude - we wont be able to help without more information. what software did you install recently, changes to hardware, configuration changes? [10:22] diuneigh, if ubuntu dont support your graka you wouldn't be happy with the vesa driver [10:22] is it because the OS has been booted from the pen drive? because if i plug in other pen drives they mount fine [10:22] 8-) [10:22] Gumby: i just installed ubuntu on a sony laptop and the display is only centered in the screen and not using all of the real estate [10:22] Thankx for the help ppl! Bye! [10:23] TravelByHuman: Will go to give his Server image 2GB of RAM, his XP Pro images 512MB of [10:23] RAM (each) & to format a hard-drive partition (100GB) to NTFS [10:23] chrisp1, which laptop model? [10:23] Thanks a heap hmw [10:23] chrisp1, you can change it manually in the xorg [10:23] .conf [10:23] join #ubuntu-fr [10:23] / [10:23] vaio pcg-991l [10:23] jerome_, / [10:24] chrisp1, which graca? [10:24] Incarus: i tried that and then my x would not start [10:24] jerome_: tapes /jpoin #ubuntu-fr [10:24] *join [10:24] Incarus: graca? [10:25] chrisp1, post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a pastebin [10:25] !pastebin [10:25] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [10:25] chrisp1, graphic card, do you have got a laptop? [10:25] hi everyone [10:25] Alright, well I have a new question now. I was trying to get my dad to switch to Linux, but I went through the process of installing it, importing all his data, then his computer reboots and we got GRUB error 22. The Ubuntu installation was installed to a secondary internal hard drive, as his Windows installation was intended to be preserved. [10:26] acfrazier: I got that problem too, i have a solution [10:26] acfrazier, i think its a problem with the windows boot loader [10:26] Do you have any flash drives imported? [10:27] pop79: No, but his Zune media player was plugged in at the time [10:27] !pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/121373/ [10:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:27] acfrazier, that is a problem with the boot loader for grub [10:27] Well, anything like a flash drive, like the Zune, should be first plugged out [10:28] Daft_Punk: is there any way to resolve it? [10:28] Hey Daft_Punk, are you really Daft Punk? [10:28] acfrazier - error 22 means that the proper partition wasnt found by grub. it is possible, that you need to change the entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst to make grub use the UUID of the partition instead of the /dev/sdXY thing. This can happen, because the BIOS sometimes swaps drives. [10:28] acfrazier, grub and windows boot loader annoying each other [10:28] acfrazier, yeah you would have to go into the xconf file and change some options around to fix the grub bootloader, since its on a second driver [10:28] pop79, offtopic [10:28] ok [10:28] acfrazier, post your menu.lst [10:28] sorry i didnt mean xconf i meant menu.lst [10:29] Incarus: I don't have access to his computer right now [10:29] acfrazier: plug out your zune, then try to load GRUB again. When ubuntu is on, plug it back in [10:29] acfrazier, dont you have a live cd? [10:29] acfrazier - a quick and dirty solution is to change the entries hd(0,0) to hd(1,0) - but it might switch back later. [10:29] Incarus: Yes, I do [10:30] acfrazier, boot it [10:30] which uses less cpu, midori or Firefox? [10:30] Any recommendations on what IRC is the best in ubuntu [10:31] I'm using xChat gnome right now [10:31] aniiena - i dont know midori, but a big part of Firefox is written in JavaScript, which is interpreded on the fly. This consumes a lot of CPU [10:31] entrooo, xchat [10:31] aniiena: that is an offtopic question #ubuntu-offtopic [10:31] entrooo, im using opera, but chatzilla is also good [10:31] the one that comes with ubuntu or should I go download the one off of xchat.org [10:31] i use chatzilla [10:31] entrooo: use the version of xchat in ubuntu's repositories [10:31] im afk [10:31] hi, a friend would like to install the latest ubuntu on his xp netbook (no cdrom), can he do that directly from windows xp ? or must he use a usb stick? [10:31] pop79 aniiena - it is likely, that you will get flamed when asking technical questions in #ubuntu-offtopic. this channel is ok to ask that [10:31] entrooo: but not xchat-gnome [10:31] Gumby: did you get a chance to look at that conf I pasted? [10:31] ok === Incarus is now known as Incarus|afk [10:31] alright [10:32] I'll take a look [10:32] one second [10:32] hmw: i saw a lot of technical chat going on in there... :* [10:32] when you say repositories you mean the add/remove applications? [10:33] I've changed my desktop env from GNOME->lxde === Incarus|afk is now known as Incarus [10:33] pop79 - well... depends, who is there and why. some guy flamed me, because i *answered* a tech question there. he said, he goes to offtopic, when his head is full after being here supporting people. [10:33] cpu still gets eaten opening some webpages, anything else I can do? [10:34] aniiena - how bad is it really? [10:34] aniiena, make a swap [10:34] 100%, page stutters [10:34] anyone have graphics problems? [10:34] pop79: I am [10:34] aniiena - if you dont have a very fast computer, flash is quite slow [10:34] chrisp: whats up? [10:34] pop79: I have static when i use 3D effects, tolerable, but that's about it [10:34] aniiena - you could try freeing up some ram by disabling unneeded services, even disabling compiz. [10:35] Incarus: I have a swap [10:35] aniiena - FF gets slower, the more plugins you have [10:35] i mean.... chrisp1: whats up? [10:35] it's a base install of FF [10:35] aniiena, or vou can by ram. ram is 30 x faster then swap [10:35] Is it more efficient to install Opera from the site or from the repositories [10:35] pop79: i am trying to change the resolution of my screen, but when i edit the xorg.conf file my x will not restart [10:35] ram utilization never goes past 55% [10:36] chrisp1, which driver? [10:36] hmm... on minute chrisp1 [10:36] aniiena - if you have more than 1.2GB RAM and at least 1.5 GHz, you should be able to surf quite normally. but fullscreen youtube wont really work with such hardware [10:36] *one* minute [10:36] aniiena, is kde installed? [10:36] no [10:36] good [10:37] hmw: it's not that I can't surf normally, it's just the one site this computer needs to use [10:37] that site stutters horrribly. (the site is flash heavy) [10:37] Incarus: that's just it. there is no driver specified in the file. just this line: [10:37] Section "Device" [10:37] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [10:37] aniiena - i have flash plugin under suspicion. in my expirience, the open source flash plugin is very slow. try the proprietary flash plugin, if you dont have it already [10:37] !flash [10:37] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:37] where is the trash folder located?

[10:38] sfire: how to turn off media playes? [10:38] hey sheep, are there themes for xchat somewhere? [10:39] HI [10:39] I remember there being themes in the windows version [10:39] !hi |vineeth [10:39] vineeth: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[10:41] chrisp1, google it [10:41] harlemdavvey: right click on a panel choose properties-background [10:41] don't gnash and adobe-flashplugin do the same thing? [10:42] aniiena, no [10:42] aniiena - yes, but gnash is open source [10:42] quibbler: no, i'm interested in having the menus transparent [10:42] Incarus aniiena - gnash is not OS flash?? [10:42] aniiena, gnash couldn't do as much as adobes flash player [10:42] incarus what are you talking about? [10:42] if I have adobe's plugin, I don't need gnash.. right? [10:42] aniiena: gnash doesn't work very well; adobe's flash player isn't open-source. [10:42] aniiena - right. [10:42] aniiena: correct [10:42] entrooo, the trash [10:43] so anyone have suggestions on a browser that might use less cpu than FF? [10:43] aniiena - can i check this specific web site? [10:43] nickjr.com [10:43] harlemdavvey: then no [10:43] aniiena - is that page using flash at all? or java? [10:43] aniiena: you mean a web browser? [10:43] why should I be looking in my trash? [10:43] dont know [10:43] yes, web browser [10:43] quibbler: what about themes, can theme make your menus and panels transparent? [10:43] hmw: it's almost fully flash [10:43] entrooo, sry, it was lianimator [10:44] aniiena - should i see the "slowlyness" on the first page? === slipstenen is now known as slipstenen_eta [10:44] aniiena: then you can go with seamonkey or epiphany [10:44] one second, let me get the exact link [10:44] anyone know the command line to make 7zip use the best compression? [10:44] Where can I get the latest version of Jaunty? [10:44] Incarus: hehe, that was kind of funny [10:44] you can install by terminal: sudo apt-get install ephiphany-web [10:44] 8-) [10:45] aniiena - you should have seamonkey as default browser if you're using ubuntu 8.10 [10:45] harlemdavvey: i told you how to make your panels transparent it also works with drawers on your panels but not menus...as to theme that do that i have no idea\ [10:45] Finnish_: 1) Jaunty discussion and questions belong in #ubuntu+1, not here. 2) http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha4 [10:45] Finnish_, "update-manager -d" [10:45] http://www.nickjr.com/playtime/cats/art/index.jhtml [10:45] quibbler - yes, i know, thanks anyway :) [10:45] mharlemdavvey - isnt seamonkey the same as firefox, but rebranded for some reasons? [10:46] hmw, it is [10:46] hmw: i think yes, but it uses less memory [10:46] memory isn't the issue [10:46] opera uses less memory then both [10:46] aniiena - the first page takes quite a while to load on my linux (fedora). i fear, you will have to live with slow speed, if its just that little slow as it is here (took about 15 seconds, windows was faster) [10:47] aniiena: i told you seamonkey because i better in general [10:47] hmw: no, they're different entities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey [10:47] then guys, why don't give a try to netscape? [10:47] I'm not really concerned with how long they take to load [10:47] iceweasle = firefox [10:47] it's the quality of the games once loaded that is the issue at the moment [10:47] rww thx [10:47] aniiena: look, if you want a great borwser, install epiphany [10:47] it works great [10:48] i'm using it jusst right now;) [10:48] hmw, the page is slow, but aniiena's pc is slow, not just the page [10:48] - [10:48] guys what's the best office suite to work with?

[11:11] hmw, simple... one xorg got pregnant... and gave birth to another xorg [11:11] aniiena perhaps creating a new user account created two seperate files for xorg [11:12] aniiena: how much memory do you have? [11:12] 1.5 gigs [11:12] idioteque aniiena - i dont know X well enough. idi: you think its due to the change anii just mentioned?

[11:15] let me reboot and see if it decides to start two xorg's again [11:15] although im not sure how that would have happenend without user invervention. [11:15] aniiena, good idea!

[12:18] Incarus, havnt checked with them yet. [12:18] illumin8, k [12:18] Incarus: I'm not sure what you are asking there. I'm sure the issue is that I need to copy over more config files to make it work, but I don't know what they are. The new machine is totally different hardware from the old, and I don't want to copy too many config files and possibly break something else. === __chris is now known as chrisred [12:18] Hello..

[12:21] Incarus: sure, I can back them up. But how is that differnet than what I already did when it comes time to restore them to the new machine? [12:21] mollyringwald, have you got a linux live cd? [12:21] live cd being the standard install?

Is this related to Ubuntu or it is BIOS problem? Thank You! I have only remote access to my server. [12:21] Incarus: it's only available for X enviro and I'm working on a server shell [12:22] Incarus: heh I did. and read for 8 hours before trying what I did the first time. Nobody seems to have the info I needed. [12:22] mollyringwald, ? [12:22] perlmonkey: try parted [12:22] not 100MHz but 1000MHz [12:22] mollyringwald, a livecd will give you the option to try ubuntu without making changes to your system.

[12:22] illumin8 it would probably crash again. i want molly to get into single user mode and use pastebinit [12:22] illumin8 alright, i'll give it a shot [12:22] mollyringwald, no thats not the end. hes veryfing you have a way in, hang tight. [12:22] Incarus: i installed the streamer but it does not have a GUI does it? [12:23] alright [12:23] any command I run afterwards it says it cant find the file, so I'm guessing ld.so got screwed up or something [12:23] dio444, you can copy all the documents and and something like this, and then just add new users to the new machine with the same name [12:23] Incarus, mollyringwald has a livecd [12:23] cannot even chroot into my old environment [12:23] mollyringwald, can you start the live cd?

[12:24] Incarus not at all [12:25] mollyringwald, k [12:25] give me a sec, will try the live cd [12:25] tjoener: it might be possible to install the deb for the messed up files on top of the old system without chrooting [12:25] incarus: yeah, that's actually what I'm doing right now, but the problem with that is that there are 78 users who will need to be added, and have their passwords work on first try before I can bring the new system online. [12:25] perlmonkey, quibbler: Actually, I have a Logitech QuickCam Chat. [12:25] can one use apt-get install in single user mode?

I'm on the live CD again [12:25] illumin8, the system doesnt freeze [12:26] tjoener: *exact* error messages are immeasurably more useful for understanding what's wrong than an outline description of the problem [12:26] Incarus, sorry? it sounds like not enough grapic capability to me.

[12:26] amikrop: i bought a cheapo unknown cam and it worked right out of the box in Ubuntu feisty [12:26] tjoener: I don't know what file you are missing or what package it's in, but something like dpkg --root /path/to/mounted/broken/system some_deb.deb ought to do it [12:26] perlmonkey: you mean lsusb [12:26] illumin8, no, it dont recognize the mouse and the keyboard and the graca [12:27] amikrop: sorry yes [12:27] guys need help, my ubuntu cannot read KDE.... i have installed it month ago and now it cannot read it [12:27] Incarus, mollyringwald said the got no picture?

[12:55] ok [12:55] indeed [12:55] tjoener: try this: dpkg -i --root /path/to/messed/up/install libc6 [12:55] ..... I still can't open any files with this [12:55] rdakin: apt-get install sqlite3 If i'm correct [12:55] adam7, he got problems with the x46 files, or? [12:56] tjoener: ty, trying... [12:56] Incarus: I think he just got a bad package [12:56] i've added ~/Music to Quod Libet library. then i select all tracks and right-click and press edit tags. now how do i remove old tags and replace tags with %artist% - %year% - %album% - %track% - %title%, which all the .mp3's are named as. example: a filenamed - "Bruce Springsteen - 2009 - Working On A Dream - 01 - Outlaw Pete.mp3", remove old tags and add tags according to filename? === megreaterjohn` is now known as away_man_ftl [12:56] i installed ubuntu in ext2 type partition. then how can i install xp there. [12:56] int256: you mean virtualized? [12:56] tjoener, try "sudo apt-get -f install" [12:56] tjoener: try downloading the deb from a different mirror [12:56] jrib: no [12:56] I'm gonna try that [12:56] int256, make a new partition with linux [12:56] Mob[ST]er - enter root with "sudo -i" and use nano for editing. but be extremely cautious, a simple typo may mess up your whole sys. always triple check befor hitting enter. [12:56] it's unbelivable how complicated it is to do a very very simple task with linux :S [12:56] I'll be back in a few mins, searching for a mirror [12:57] tjoener, try "sudo apt-get -f install" [12:57] hmw: thanks again . [12:57] what is the difference between apt-get install FOO and aptitude install FOO [12:57] np [12:57] Incarus: using gparted ? [12:57] Mob[ST]er: you should explain exactly what you are doing [12:57] int256, yes [12:57] rdakin, different software [12:57] rdakin, apt get is better [12:57] Incarus: same effect? [12:57] yes [12:57] rdakin: not much nowadays [12:57] Incarus: ty [12:57] Incarus: ok. i which format ? [12:58] int256, ntfs or fat [12:58] jrib: that's the thing , I simply want to open some files and a folder but ubuntu says I don't have the permissions to do it :S [12:58] hi, i have got a intel centrino 1.6 notebook.... which version can i install? i586 or i386 or an other? [12:58] int256, then boot the win cd [12:58] !sudo | Mob[ST]er [12:58] Mob[ST]er: 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) [12:58] !root | Mob[ST]er [12:58] Mob[ST]er: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:58] int256, ntfs is better [12:58] int256, and install win from the cd (on the right partition) [12:58] ok [12:59] thanks a lot guys, I'm gonna read all this. [12:59] cool factoid, adam7 [12:59] cooldduuudde, it doenst matter, because windows will part it in ntfs [12:59] Mob[ST]er: as a regular user, you don't have permissions to edit random system files -- you need to be the root user. this is what makes linux secure [12:59] hi, i have got a intel centrino 1.6 notebook.... which version can i install? i586 or i386 or an other? [12:59] Mob[ST]er: I haven't been following your conversation, but I've seen sudo mentioned a few times. Running « gksudo gedit /path/to/file » or just « gksudo nautilus » and editing from there shouldn't be difficult. The point though is that what you are doing should be an *uncommon* thing. So it shouldn't be a burden to have to type sudo to edit these files [12:59] incarus, XP can install in fat32 as well [12:59] McQueen , i568 [12:59] adam7 Mob[ST]er - and it is the reason, why we dont need antivirus software [12:59] Incarus: thanks [13:00] jrib: earlier he said he is trying to edit httpd.conf, some mysql something-or-other and some other things [13:00] cooldduuudde, k [13:00] cooldduuudde, but he have to choose later, because windows should just recognize the partition [13:01] incarus, agreed [13:01] * int256 will be back in 5 mins [13:01] McQueen: there are only two versions afaik --- you need the x86 one [13:02] does somebody use turboprint, how can i get a key? [13:02] toddoon, not here [13:02] McQueen, x64 and x86, you need x86 [13:02] toddoon: buy it? [13:03] why i hace choosen canon ?!!? [13:03] !print > toddoon [13:03] toddoon, please see my private message [13:03] hmw, there was a google earth problem that i spoke of some time back [13:03] cooldduuudde yea, any news? [13:03] toddoon: my canon printer "just works" after I plug it in and turn on the power. Check ubottu's links [13:03] jrib: ok thanx [13:04] i just installed ubuntu 64bit, i have a few questions what the best option is to install flash and java, someone knows the answer ^^ [13:04] adam7: you are a hero [13:04] hmw,i ran it using sudo. it doesn't show any errors but quits as soon as opens === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [13:04] Atlantes, yes [13:04] tjoener: you get it? [13:04] cooldduuudde as stated before, some apps dont like to be run as root. cant you run it normally?? [13:04] Atlantes: install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package for flash. Install whatever java you want from the repositories (there's sun and free versions) [13:04] !java > Atlantes [13:04] Atlantes, please see my private message [13:04] Atlantes: the best way to do it is to go to a site that needs flash or java and when firefox asks "do you want to install the plugin" click yes [13:04] jep, I extracted the GOOD downloaded package, cp -av the entire thing over the fs root, then did an install to be nice with -i --root ... and now I can chroot [13:05] hmw, the problem was when i ran it normally i am getting errors [13:05] so I think I'm going to edit my mirrors :) [13:05] tjoener: good idea. [13:05] cooldduuudde what ubuntu version do you have? [13:05] adam7: I thank you for your help [13:05] 8.10 interpid [13:06] jrib, adam7: does that work for 64bit version of ubuntu? [13:06] cooldduuudde, paste the errors [13:06] Atlantes: yep, I'm using it now [13:06] hmw Could not create directory: [13:06] /root/.googleearth/Cache [13:06] Atlantes, you can install 64 bit plugins [13:06] hello friends [13:06] incarus Google Earth could not write to the current cache or myplaces file location. The values will be set as follows: My Places Path: "/home/akash/.googleearth" [13:06] Cache Path: "/home/akash/.googleearth/Cache" [13:07] cooldduuudde thats definetively wrong, a user has no business in /root. the german wiki says, that google earth would be broken, and one can get another version... stand by === yofel_ is now known as yofel [13:07] cooldduuudde, "sudo mkdir /root/.googleearth/Cache" [13:07] i have an old dlink de-220pct rev-d2 card and cant work with it on my ubuntu server 8.10 [13:07] ciao [13:07] lemme try it [13:08] incarus it says the file already exists [13:08] BrixSat, search in the net [13:08] Atlantes: yes [13:08] adam7: flash works, thought that didn't worked with 64bit great :D [13:08] Incarus cooldduuudde - german wiki suggests: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.googleearth ~/.config/Google [13:08] Incarus i have done that [13:08] im living in google for 2 houres and nothinhg [13:08] Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH [13:09] Art4k: what are you compiling? [13:09] BrixSat, most of us (everybody) cant help you [13:09] hydra-gtk [13:09] cooldduuudde - maybe this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [13:09] !compile > Art4k [13:09] Art4k, please see my private message [13:09] Incarus i know but maybe some one had that problem also in the past ;) [13:09] BrixSat: if you give us some idea of what an old dlink de-220pct rev-d2 card is even supposed to do, there might be more help [13:09] hmw i am not so familiar wid most commands. i understand it will alter permissions. are you sure it will work? [13:09] ok [13:10] Art4k: you need the corresponding -dev package for gtk+ from the repositories (ie use synaptic or apt-get) [13:10] adam7 dlink de-220ptc is an ethernet card [13:10] cooldduuudde absolutely not. never used google earth and just got it from the german ubuntu wiki. try the link i gave you [13:10] with old bnc conector and rj45 connector [13:10] hmw okay thanks man [13:10] cooldduuudde google is your friend ;-) [13:11] BrixSat: have you ever gotten this thing to work in the past in ubuntu [13:11] ?

[13:12] <BrixSat> but the store is closed on sunday :p and i was wondering if it could do the job why a new one?

[13:36] <KevDog> taylor04: b43 should work if you downloaded the firware independently -- The firware is the actually binary code to power the code. The reason you have to download the firmware independently is b/c its actually closed source [13:37] <taylor04> so if i downloaded the firmware idepentdently how would i get it to work with b43 [13:37] <KevDog> taylor04: Correction: power the card [13:37] <hareldvd> Please, those who helped me regardin installing Google earyh, come again.

[13:49] <dusty> ok [13:49] <KevDog> JoeLow: Are your simply at a terminal right now?

[13:52] <KevDog> JoeLow: Do you have any encryption on your wireless network? [13:52] <JoeLow> it is unsecure, so should iwconfig eth1 essid "Belkin54G" ...work?

[13:53] <JoeLow> or stoping me setting mine myself [13:53] <hareldvd> jrib: Thanks. Much better. [13:53] * KevDog thinks is it me or am I the only one who doesnt know adam7? [13:54] <bazhang> dusty, commercial dvd's never ship on rw, unless it is pirated. [13:54] <KenBW2> whenever i tranfer music to my phone with ubuntu the atrists' and albums' names don't show up as they should (for example Even, Evanesce, Evanescence). is this a problem with the transfer? [13:54] <io_> any hel with my sound card available? [13:54] <KevDog> JoeLow: What does lshw -C network show about the wireless chipset and driver? [13:55] <adam7> KevDog: JoeLow: you may have to set the channel too [13:55] <JoeLow> oh right [13:55] <adam7> sudo iwconfig eth1 channel 3 or w/e the channel is [13:55] <JoeLow> maybe i should just disable networkManager [13:55] <KevDog> adam7: Never had to do that before, although I guess you could [13:55] <KevDog> adam7: Never had to do that before -- except with aircrack [13:56] <adam7> KevDog: on some cards you don't have to, on others you do [13:56] <kernel> : ) [13:56] <adam7> some drivers set the channel from the essid automatically I think [13:56] <KevDog> JoeLow: I dont think NWM isthe problem. What error are you getting after the dhclient command? [13:57] <KevDog> adam7: Do you know of any specific driver types for this -- I main a thread about this topic? [13:57] <JoeLow> KevDog: nothing, no error, after i do "iwconfig eth1..." i get no error, but it has not joined that netowrk [13:57] <adam7> KevDog: no, sorry. I don't even remember where I saw that at [13:57] <KevDog> JoeLow: You do the iwconfig statement followed by dhclient [13:58] <JoeLow> yep [13:58] <KevDog> adam7: cool [13:58] <KenBW2> whenever i tranfer music to my phone with ubuntu the atrists' and albums' names don't show up as they should (for example Even, Evanesce, Evanescence). is this a problem with the transfer? [13:58] <JoeLow> but if i do startx and use NetowrkManager, it works, so the driver and everything is fine [13:58] <adam7> JoeLow: try this: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid my_essid channel 99; sudo dhclient eth1; <-- obviously, replace my_essid with the essid of your network and 99 with the channel number [13:59] * KevDog thinks Is adam7=imdano? [13:59] <wiijii> Hi guys, is anyone else having issues reverting back to ath5k after the latest update changed wireless to ath9k? If someone has succeeded, could you please help?

Not sure if it was the right thing to do, but I needed 3 packages for jaunty's repository on intrepid. I temporarily added the repository to grab the 3 packages. Not sure if this will lead to breakage?

I guess based on the above, try at your own risk:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975783 [14:06] <adam7> Jampiter: and use the dd command with care -- it can destroy your system if you point it at the wrong device [14:06] <tomp> on hardy 8.04, i cant copy a 4.2g file with MC, then i saw i coudnt do it with Nautilus 2.22.2. i'm tryong cp right now. it reports the fiee is too big on 3 different partitions, all way bigger than 4.3. cp jusyt failed 'file too large' [14:07] <Jampiter> adam7: ...ok, how do I find out my floppy drive for SURE?

[14:14] <KevDog> taylor04: I take it you are using the gui [14:14] <quibbler> tomp: if they are ext3 then you should be able to copy also ntfs but not if they are fat (windows) [14:14] <Jampiter> adam7: Ok, that's a relief. I'm trying it with fd0 and it says Permission denied. How do I grant it permission? Would sudo work? [14:14] <Jack_Sparrow> KevDog stick with supported repos and be safe.. Learn to compile, run dual boot so you can have a system for testing and always have a backup [14:15] <adam7> Jampiter: you'll need sudo [14:15] <taylor04> yea [14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Jampiter sudo [14:15] <KevDog> adam7: I thought about that, but then started chasing dependencies -- need to compile gstreamer -- then needing to compile another package -- [14:15] <Jampiter> adam7 & Jack_Sparrow: Thanks [14:15] <adam7> KevDog: I see where that is going [14:16] <KevDog> adam7: You catch my drift :) [14:16] <Jampiter> adam7: It says it's done it again, but there was no activity from the floppy drive and it was very fast [14:16] <adam7> Jampiter: how big is the image you're trying to write? [14:17] <Jampiter> adam7: 1.4 MB [14:17] <tomp> quibbler: i have copied 3.8g filles ( dvd imgs) from these partitions to XP NTFS partitions andd vicversa, i hit a snag on this, the largest of the at 4.2G.

[14:18] <Jampiter> adam7: I'll try it with fl0 [14:18] <KevDog> taylor04: So gui is greyed out. Do you know how to use CLI to test things? [14:18] <adam7> Jampiter: don't [14:18] <adam7> Jampiter: fl0 is incorrect, it's fd0 you need [14:18] <taylor04> KevDog: Ill google it [14:18] <Jampiter> adam7: Ok [14:19] <KevDog> taylor04: Now you are thinking, but perhaps your /etc/network/interfaces file has some entries inside this file thay may need to be deleted [14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Lasivian Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? === ubuntu__ is now known as rhinux [15:27] <n8tuser> KevDog-> correct, and i said bcm43xx yes? [15:28] <mrglinux> n8tuser: I other system want to have internet conection [15:28] <n8tuser> !ics | mrglinux [15:28] <ubottu> mrglinux: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [15:28] <mrglinux> my getway set to 192.168.1.1 but 192.168.1.2 is correct [15:28] <yowshi> imachine: you around? [15:28] <KevDog> n8tuser -- Where you getting bcm43xx? [15:29] <n8tuser> mrglinux-> how did you get that 192.168.1.1 anyways? and how you know its really 192.168.1.2 ? [15:29] <n8tuser> KevDog-> generic term, bcm43xx includes 4311 4312 etc [15:29] <mrglinux> n8tuser auto dhcp define it [15:30] <techsupp0rt-MOS> my pc is slow how to uninstall all but the basic packages?

[15:30] <n8tuser> KevDog-> there drivers are so called infamous bcm43xx [15:30] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: the default ones. Create a new fresh user and copy those [15:31] <KevDog> n8tuser: bcm43xx were the old drivers, b43 are the new drivers [15:31] <nicholasthgrey> jrib: o ok i see thanks [15:31] <n8tuser> mrglinux-> did you get a chance to read that ics? let me repaste it to you [15:31] <n8tuser> !ics | mrglinux [15:31] <jrib> nicholasthgrey: « adduser FOOBAR » will create the user named FOOBAR [15:31] <MaT-dg> KevDog: I have compiled it before, but I want to stay within the package manager [15:31] <sika> How Can I make Network between Windows and Ubuntu?

[15:33] <bbelt16ag> hey peeps [15:33] <mrglinux> n8tuser: sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 it's for add if I want remove last getway what shall I do? [15:33] <bbelt16ag> I am running Ubuntu 8.04.2 hardy [15:33] <n8tuser> mrglinux-> change add to del [15:33] <bbelt16ag> I was wondering if I change my apt sources list and dropped to root can I upgrade my whole system to the proper testing version w/o a hitch? [15:33] <ashvala> hello [15:34] <bbelt16ag> serously I don't want to spend 3 hours debuging if I do this.. [15:34] <jrib> bbelt16ag: no. That isn't how you should upgrade between release [15:34] <KevDog> bbelt16ag: you could do that, however there are never guarantees [15:34] <n8tuser> bbelt16ag-> testing without a hitch? isnt that the purpose to find out if there will be a hitch? :p [15:34] <bbelt16ag> should I just download the disk [15:34] <jrib> bbelt16ag: add to that the fact it's the development version... [15:34] <bbelt16ag> so there is no newer version [15:35] <anonusing1> hi, can someone please assist me with step 4 -> http://mywebspace.wordpress.com/2006/04/06/how-to-add-ttf-fonts-to-your-linux-box/ [15:35] <KevDog> n8tuser -- see your around [15:35] <n8tuser> KevDog-> okay, seems we lost taylor eh? [15:35] <jrib> bbelt16ag: but jaunty support in #ubuntu+1 please. The latest released version is 8.10 intrepid. Jaunty is the development version (for devs and testers) [15:35] <KevDog> n8tuser -- yes -- was shot dead or something crazy like that [15:35] <bbelt16ag> juanty? [15:35] <jrib> bbelt16ag: what exactly is your question? [15:36] <Pandah> Is there anyway i can disable compiz fusion from the terminal i've set something and it won't let me click any buttons or anything lol [15:36] <bbelt16ag> well, some of my packages are old in this repo like from 2007 and I wanted newer packages so I could install the latest centerim. [15:36] <jrib> bbelt16ag: what version of ubuntu are you using? [15:36] <n8tuser> KevDog-> before you leave, your driver is b43-pci-bridge too? [15:36] <bbelt16ag> I am running Ubuntu 8.04.2 hardy [15:36] <jrib> !upgrade | bbelt16ag [15:36] <ubottu> bbelt16ag: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:36] <jrib> bbelt16ag: you can upgrade to 8.10 then [15:37] <bbelt16ag> download the iso and install then? [15:37] <KevDog> n8tuser -- That is what it reports however I actually using b43 -- with the opensource openfwwf firmware. [15:37] <jrib> bbelt16ag: if you want to upgrade (retain your current configuration and data) the follow ubottu's upgrade instructions [15:37] <bbelt16ag> I got it [15:37] <bbelt16ag> thanks [15:38] <n8tuser> KevDog-> oh you compiled your own? did you have to put a copy of that in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ dir? [15:38] <KevDog> bbelt16ag: Just a comment -- I always find clean installs better than upgrades -- but your mileage may vary! [15:38] <sky_> how i can create user which can browse only in /home ? [15:38] <anonusing1> hi, i am trying to add fonts and, am supposed to add a directory to a file system... not really sure which directory tho.. [15:38] <jrib> anonusing1: use ~/.fonts [15:39] <n8tuser> sky_-> not good if he has to use tools within your system like /bin/ls [15:39] <Lint01> user-specific fonts? [15:39] <KevDog> n8tuser: Here are the instructions I followed: http://linuxfans.betaserver.org/ [15:39] <sky_> n8tuser: so how ? [15:39] <anonusing1> jrib, thanks [15:39] <KevDog> n8tuser: And yes I guess I did some compiling you could say:) [15:40] <n8tuser> sky_-> you dont it like you suggested, what exactly you want to accomplish? [15:40] <Daniel_G> when i do 'ifconfig' as a regular user, i get: Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output. - obviously this is a security measure but is there a way to get rid of this so that a regular user can use 'ifconfig'? im on ubuntu 8.04. [15:40] <n8tuser> KevDog-> oh okay, i guess broadcom has not been quite helpful yet ..i tried to avoid bcm43xx chips if possible [15:41] <Fougner> Daniel_G, I can use ifconfig as a normal user [15:41] <jrib> Daniel_G: you should be able to by default, so something is wrong [15:41] <sky_> n8tuser: ok nothing :D [15:41] <Daniel_G> jrib: its a non-custom kernel, i think the person who deployed the server made a few changes to it, but i'm just trying to figure out how to restore that [15:41] <Daniel_G> assuming something must have been changed to get it that way, any idea how to change it back? [15:41] <Jack223> hello [15:42] <Daniel_G> eh, i mean, its a non-default kernel [15:42] <KevDog> nt8user - Actually with the last few kernels, Ive been pleasantly surprised with bcm. I used to hate the chipset, and now they are more tolerable. I have an Atheros chipset also, however I have to say the bcm is "faster" [15:42] <mib_371v01xa> hii to all [15:42] <anonusing1> how do i add fonts.dir to xorg.conf? do i just copy and past, and if so, where exactly should i past to? [15:42] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> if only the command ifconfig is okay with normal users, if the options is to modify then you need escalated priviledges [15:42] <starfruit> i want to backup emails, which is the best client. in regards to versatile format, that can be ported to many other email clients [15:42] <mikedraven28> one question haw can i add new effects in compiz [15:43] <jrib> !compiz | mikedraven28 [15:43] <ubottu> mikedraven28: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [15:43] <Daniel_G> n8tuser: what? i dont follow you... [15:43] <n8tuser> KevDog-> curious as to what you meant by faster? really a measured one or a perceived better speed? [15:43] <mikedraven28> i saw some window flip effects i woander were can i eneble it [15:44] <Fougner> mikedraven28, window flip? [15:44] <Fougner> not the desktop cube? [15:44] <mikedraven28> on filp on the axe 180 ` [15:44] <mikedraven28> whait a sec [15:44] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> if your normal user issues ifconfig its okay, no need to have escalated priviledge, if you ifconfig -options here you may need escalated priviledge, man ifconfig for more details [15:44] <Bravewolf> I am trying to install claws-mail (3.7.0) from PPA repository (https://launchpad.net/~claws-mail/+archive/ppa) to my Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.2. [15:44] <Bravewolf> I receive always an authentication error (http://pastebin.com/m54e9b7cf), even if the correct key is in my keyring (http://pastebin.com/d229b4b18). [15:44] <Bravewolf> It's very strange! What could be the problem? [15:45] <sky_> i want create directory for user and make for him passwords...he can only use this directory and nothing more ...how i can do that this ? [15:45] <n8tuser> mikedraven28-> xrandr, man xrandr to see more options [15:45] <Daniel_G> n8tuser: your not really making any sense, the problem is that a normal user cant use 'ifconfig' at all, i'm trying to figure how to let them... [15:45] <Jack223> hey when i have streaming music set up on firefox and i close it, it still runs until i close the firefox process why is that. btw im using windows xp [15:45] <bonhoffer> after suspend my root filesystem is only remounts in read-only mode -- what can i do? [15:45] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> sorry if you dont understand what i just explained [15:45] <sky_> Jack223: this is ubuntu channel :D [15:45] <anonusing1> does anyone know how to add "font.dir" to "xorg.conf"? [15:46] <Daniel_G> n8tuser: what you just 'explained' it crap and makes no sense [15:46] <jrib> anonusing1: why? [15:46] <Daniel_G> nothing to do with me not understanding it [15:46] <Jack223> yes, its also the only channel with people on it at this hour [15:46] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> up yours, you dont like my explanation [15:46] <sky_> i want create directory for user and make for him passwords...he can only use this directory and nothing more ...how i can do that this ? [15:46] <anonusing1> jrib, that is what these directions say http://mywebspace.wordpress.com/2006/04/06/how-to-add-ttf-fonts-to-your-linux-box/ [15:46] <jrib> Daniel_G, n8tuser: let's try to stay civil [15:46] <kultom> Is there a quick way to add a folder ( or rather its content ) to the Wallpaper folder of gnome without moving/copying? Like adding a folder to the "wallpaper repository" or somehitng [15:46] <Daniel_G> its not an explanation, its jibberish, english obviously isnt your first language and thats fine, but dont talk downt o me [15:46] <Fougner> Jack223, people helping people with ubuntu-related problems, yes =) [15:47] <jrib> anonusing1: ok, but why aren't you just using what I said? [15:47] <BoomKING> Can anyone help me , if i install ubuntu The wireless and cabled network works , but then if i restart it stops working , but if i put in the live cd and boot with live mode it works ???? any ideas [15:47] <n8tuser> Jrib can you tell Daniel_G to stop it? [15:47] <mikedraven28> sorry [15:47] <Daniel_G> ...jesus [15:47] <KevDog> nt8user: that would be perceived. [15:47] <n8tuser> Daniel_G-> what part do you not understand? [15:47] <KevDog> nt8user: but at least you can do aircrack with broadcom now! [15:47] <n8tuser> KevDog-> i dont spelll well, i have wide thumbs too [15:47] <sky_> BoomKING: delete auto eth0 there ? [15:47] <sky_> i want create directory for user and make for him passwords...he can only use this directory and nothing more ...how i can do that this ? [15:48] <anonusing1> jrib, i did do that [15:48] <mikedraven28> so .. let me explain .. 2 problems ... with my ubuntu [15:48] <jrib> anonusing1: you added you .ttf to ~/.fonts? [15:48] <bonhoffer> without read access, i can do nothing -- including connecting to the internet [15:48] <n8tuser> KevDog-> even older ones or only newer chips? [15:48] <bonhoffer> without write access . . . [15:48] <anonusing1> jrib, i had to create that folder [15:48] <Daniel_G> n8tuser: your saying 'if a normal user issues ifconfig its okay', but the problem is that a normal user *cant* issue ifconfig, its been disabled, so i'm trying to figure out how to enable it... [15:48] <mikedraven28> my effects and compiz works but i can't play anithing in full screen [15:48] <metajemo> mikewu:another question if i may....i am not able to see the whole desktop, most probably because it is 17 inches [15:48] <jrib> anonusing1: yes and then log out and back in [15:48] <anonusing1> jrib, "~" means like, my home folder right? [15:48] <jrib> anonusing1: yes [15:48] <mikedraven28> i know there are problems with ati graphics but ... [15:48] <KevDog> nt8user: Not sure what you are asking? newer chips? My 4306 chipset is probably 8 years old [15:49] <anonusing1> jrib, okay, i'll try that. they should be in gimp then? [15:49] <jrib> Daniel_G: so you are running "ifconfig" with no options and receive the error you pasted before? [15:49] <jrib> anonusing1: did you log out and back in? [15:49] <Daniel_G> jrib: correct [15:49] <anonusing1> jrib. ok, i'm going to do it now. thanks [15:49] <n8tuser> KevDog-> really, i dont know the newer model numbers, thats why i asked you [15:49] <jrib> Daniel_G: I think that's all n8tuser was asking [15:49] <Fallen[q]> Hello, does anyone have a minute to help me? Ive installed Ubuntu, on the Live cd I was able to enable Wireless via the network manager but as I have installed it to my HDD Im not able to do so, the enable wireless check box is faded out and im completely lost. Ive been pulling my hair out for the last 4 hours [15:50] <Daniel_G> ok well thats been clarified then, anyone got any ideas? [15:50] <sky_> i want create directory for user and make for him passwords...he can only use this directory and nothing more ...how i can do that this ? [15:50] <Who_cares_> hi, Ubuntu suddenly stopped supporting higher resolutions for me. can anyone help me with this? [15:50] <n8tuser> sky_-> i explained to you, if he has to use /bin/ls which is to list the directory, how is he going to access that tools if he can not get to it? [15:51] <Who_cares_> it supports a max res of 1024x768 [15:51] <KevDog> nt8user: Any b43 related chipset can do aircrack. The wl driver -- which is the Broadcom STA driver for some chipsets can not be put into monitor mode -- so a no go for these! [15:51] <n8tuser> sky_-> there are tools within the system that a user needs access to, you follow? [15:52] <bonhoffer> o.k. room looks full -- i can't do anything, no write access to my root filesystem, please put this in the queue for someone who is skilled with ubuntu internals [15:52] <sky_> n8tuser: he will only need to download / upload there data [15:52] <anonusing1> jrib, i don't see the new font in gimp [15:52] <blizzkid_> lo all, anyone could help me getting started cross-compiling for mips? [15:52] <Fallen[q]> Hello, does anyone have a minute to help me? Ive installed Ubuntu, on the Live cd I was able to enable Wireless via the network manager but as I have installed it to my HDD Im not able to do so, the enable wireless check box is faded out and im completely lost. Any thoughts? [15:52] <jrib> Daniel_G: you should assume the room has 0 lines of memory. Unless you're in a conversation with someone, you should just repeat the question (with a pastebin to your user running "ifconfig" and the output [15:52] <n8tuser> KevDog-> thats nice to know, am going to dust clean my old bcm43xx nic and see what this new driver can accomplish [15:52] <Fougner> sky_, how is this person supposed to use the system? FTP, SSH? [15:53] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: have you enabled restricted modules? [15:53] <sky_> Fougner: FTP [15:53] <Fougner> well [15:53] <KevDog> n8tuser: Here is a pretty good up-to-date list on what chipset and what drivers -- Please note that the old bcm43xx driver (the one everyone used to use) is dead! [15:53] <Fougner> what FTP daemon do you use? [15:53] <Fallen[q]> blizzkid_; I have not; how would I go about doing so [15:53] <Fougner> sky_, above [15:53] <Daniel_G> jrib: i think you highlighted the wrong perso [15:53] <n8tuser> KevDog-> cool [15:53] <jrib> Daniel_G: nope [15:53] <jamesclayden1983> hi All, i have a problems with my wi-fi connection.

[15:54] <Daniel_G> jrib: google'ing right now, not getting much results but i'll ask again if i dont get anything on the interwebs [15:54] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: in the menu, choose preferences (or administration) and look for restricted drivers [15:54] <BoomKING> Can anyone help me , if i install ubuntu The wireless and cabled network works , but then if i restart it stops working , but if i put in the live cd and boot with live mode it works ???? any ide [15:54] <jrib> Daniel_G: unless your question was directed at me in which case, no, I don't have any ideas :) [15:54] <BoomKING> ides* [15:54] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: (not using gnome atm, so have to do this from memory) [15:54] <KevDog> n8tuser: Here is the list: http://linuxfans.betaserver.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46:broadcom-guide-for-ubuntu-hardy-and-newer&catid=34:guides&Itemid=61 [15:55] <KevDog> n8tuser: You'll be surprised with b43 on the newer kernel -- full 54mbs support [15:55] <n8tuser> KevDog-> good find. ill bookmark this [15:55] <bonhoffer> i think this is a major kernel issue -- is there a better room for more technical problems> my problem: ( can't do anything, no write access to my root filesystem, please put this in the queue for someone who is skilled with ubuntu internals [15:55] <anonusing1> jrib, i logged out and logged back in but, i don't see the new font in gimp or open office [15:55] <Fallen[q]> blizzkid_; under system/preferences I do not seem to see something resembling restriced drivers [15:55] <jrib> anonusing1: try « fc-cache -fv » followed by restarting those programs [15:55] <n8tuser> KevDog-> my mind is running wild, i can contemplate of things to do with like 3 doz ap near me..hehe [15:56] <anonusing1> jrib.okay thanks [15:56] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: and system/administration? [15:56] <amaurea> Hello, what is the easiest way of seeing if my usb gamepad works? [15:56] <KevDog> n8tuser: Never used the STA driver !!! But at least you can dump the unreliable bcm43xx -- and ndiswrapper -- had its day but now its done! [15:56] <Fallen[q]> blizzkid_; does not seem to be [15:57] <blizzkid_> Fallen[q]: ok, might be you don't need a restricted driver, hold on, I'll msg you [15:57] <n8tuser> KevDog-> am glad you were persistent in looking for a solution, I've lost far too many hair.. hehe === gnu is now known as Guest86462 [15:58] <RussM> bonhoffer, Someone here might be able to help, but I think you'll need to supply more detail. You obviously could get to your root filesystem in the past - what changed? And, are you seeing this when you boot? What errors are you getting, and when?

I run primarily on servers that are always on, so I haven't dealt with that much. While you could try the command to just remount your root filesystem as writeable, it's likely that the problem goes deeper.

[16:02] <chattan> Hi , gus [16:02] <chattan> hi guys [16:03] <Ghone> I borked a USB thumb drive by unplugging if without unmounting it first. I would like to regain use of the device, what should I do? [16:03] <lupine_85> Ghone: probably reformat it, assuming it still shows up in dmesg as an sd device [16:04] <n8tuser> jamesclayden1983-> you tried fiddling with iwconfig command ? using channel or freq and bit rate? man iwconfig for additional options [16:04] <tul_> Ghone: plug it back in or restart computer with usb inserted [16:04] <RussM> bonhoffer, I think you're getting errors on your hard drive. I can't tell why - it's possible the filesystem was messed up somehow. Can you boot off of a live CD, then fsck the filesystem? [16:04] <oCean_> Ghone: how important is the data on the drive for you. It might be possible to mount using 'force' option, however that also migth get you a corrupted filesystem. [16:04] <bonhoffer> i have a eeepc with no cd [16:04] <jrib> bonhoffer: check dmesg [16:04] <bonhoffer> perhaps i could boot off thumb-drive [16:04] <jamesclayden1983> will try [16:05] <bonhoffer> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=67223 <-- looks similar [16:05] <bonhoffer> jrib, what am i looking for in dmesg [16:06] <jrib> bonhoffer: anything interesting [16:06] <Ghone> saving the data is not necessary. [16:06] <bonhoffer> AMI bios detected: BIOS may corrupt low RAM, working it around [16:06] <oCean_> Ghone: then plug it in, and try mounting the device using "-o force" [16:07] <jrib> bonhoffer: nothing else? [16:07] <RussM> bonhoffer, Look for anything involving root filesystem, /, or /dev/sda6 [16:07] <bonhoffer> ok [16:08] <bonhoffer> wow its big [16:08] <bangalibabu> how can i download codecs for the built-in media player? [16:08] <KenBW2> can dpkg doiwnload from the internet?

[16:11] <el-perrillo> Pir8: Raid is independent from ubuntu [16:11] <el-perrillo> are you talking about software or hardware raid? [16:11] <Yaitanes> Anybody to help me about a english lexical problem? [16:12] <Pir8> el-perrillo: you are right, it is independent. My mother board supports RAID setup, I am trying to find out whether it does hardware or software [16:12] <kb3ien> anyone here using fetchmail? [16:12] <sky_> n8tuser: are you here ? [16:12] <el-perrillo> Pir8: I don't recomend Software Raid, it is a huge pain, and gook luck recovering it if a hard drive goes down [16:12] <Segaja> is it possible to give start-stop-daemon a pidfile with more than one pid in it? and what will it do? [16:13] <n8tuser> sky_-> yes sir..sipping a cup of joe [16:13] <Pir8> el-perrillo: I see [16:13] <jrib> KenBW2: it's probably easier to download it and double click. You could run wget and dpkg, but I don't really see the point [16:13] <KenBW2> jrib: i want to set it all as a mass command for setting my PCs up [16:13] <Pir8> el-perrillo: thanks for the info. :) [16:13] <kb3ien> i'm looking to FetchMail, i see a -S to set where the mail is going, but not and option for which mailserver to connect to. do i need to do this from the netrc file ? [16:13] <sky_> n8tuser: well so how i can create those users ? they will only need upload and download data from their folders via FTP...and they cannot browse other folders [16:13] <el-perrillo> if you can do it hardware raid,then that RAID is totaly independent from any operating system [16:14] <nite_johnboy> Trying to find a certain song in Places/Music folder - What would be best app to use for searching all of the sub folders in the music folder ? ? [16:14] <el-perrillo> Pir8: no problem [16:14] <n8tuser> sky_-> use a server like proftpd or similar [16:14] <nite_johnboy> I know title of song. [16:14] <sky_> !proftpd [16:14] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about proftpd [16:15] <n8tuser> sky_-> can you google for a tutorial on that, i dont know it off hand, i have to refer myself to google too [16:15] <Pir8> el-perrillo: I dont think it can do hardware, I would have to buy pci cards to do that, I think. [16:15] <Segaja> anydbody? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [16:15] <Cassonetto> hi [16:15] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, should be easy with find or something [16:15] <el-perrillo> Pir8 depends on the motherboard [16:15] <amaurea> I am trying to get my joypad to work in intrepid. It is a logitech chillstream. When I plugi it in, it seems to be recognized, but I am not sure it is recognized as the correct kind of device. None of the buttons have any effect (but I am not sure what program I should use to test if they have any effect), but I can move the mouse pointer around with it [16:15] <oCean_> Segaja: sure, in startup script one could echo more then one pid, but what's your actual question? === Cassonetto is now known as Nike95 [16:15] <oCean_> Segaja: one daemon has one pid [16:15] <Pir8> el-perrillo: so how do I find out if it can do hardware/software ? [16:15] <nite_johnboy> Fougner; Using Terminal? [16:16] <amaurea> Any ideas of how to find out if it works, and what do to if it doesn't? [16:16] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, yeah, "find" for example [16:16] <Fougner> I'm trying it out right now [16:16] <Segaja> my question is, does start-stop-daemon stops all processes which are listed by pid in the pidfile? [16:16] <el-perrillo> Pir8: also some cheap cards are still software based [16:16] <Pir8> I see [16:16] <imachine> yowshi, more mouse isues?

(how do i check?) [16:17] <nite_johnboy> Fougner; I got it man find - thx [16:17] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, good [16:18] <anonusing1> and there seems to be a few tutorials on line about adding fonts to gimp but they all differ [16:18] <jrib> bonhoffer: is what /dev/sda1? [16:18] <el-perrillo> Pir8: It also depends on the RAID level, RAID5 capable cards are usually bigger and more expensive [16:18] <adred> hi, just wanna ask if anyone here knows a very good internet cafe management software other than ccl? i have friends who own cafe and they're switching over to ubuntu..

Looks like you're getting somewhere, though. [16:22] <Pir8> el-perrillo: yes, however I think this motherboard supports RAID in the Just A Bunch Of Disk configuration [16:22] <Fougner> nite_johnboy, sorry, dunno. but we can search one together..

After enabling the fglrx drivers, it looks like my screen is overscanning. The edges of the login screen are cropped and then when I log in I can't see the top or bottom panel.

On the old disk I have Windows - I want to copy its partition to new disk. What I have tried: I created partionion on new disk with size of old-disk-win-partition and copied data using dd.

How's that? [16:45] <ubuntistas> is the latest wine stable? [16:45] <bostoman> I just fiund a forum post about this issue, let me try some suggestions from there [16:45] <ubuntistas> is it good for installation? [16:45] <Lint01> And what you want to do? Save Linux, delete Windows? Vice-versa? Keep both? [16:45] <Nike95> i do not remember [16:45] <RussM> bostoman, Try running dhclient yourself, see if you get the same error: sudo dhclient eth0 [16:45] <joe-mac> wine is good ubuntistas but if you don't wanna jump through hoops and need support like you use it for work, crossover kicks aass [16:46] <ubuntistas> explain better i don't get it [16:46] <dusty> anyone ? [16:46] <bostoman> yeah, same issue [16:46] <Lint01> OK, and what you want to do? [16:46] <ubuntistas> joe-mac [16:46] <Nike95> i want to return everything as before because windows so I do not work ie I can not remove programs [16:46] <ThomasWaldmann> bostoman: you are sure your eth0 is lan and not firewire? [16:46] <bostoman> yes 100% [16:47] <Lint01> Can you boot Windows?

[16:48] <anom2> Hi, I'm new to Linux. I'm compiling my kernel (for fun), and my PC is screaming that it's overheating. Is there a command (like renice, but stronger) that can severely make a task consume less CPU cycles, say reduce from 80% to 40%? [16:48] <joe-mac> ubuntistas: crossover is analogous to RHEL... they take wine, dress it up, make a few more of the manual things streamlined and do a bunch of QA on it and offer support [16:48] <bostoman> yeah, I'll keep on googling [16:48] <Lint01> If you open Disk Management snap-in in Windows XP, what do you see? [16:48] <joe-mac> anom2: if your pc is overheating on a kernel compile, something else is really wrong [16:49] <joe-mac> i would shuit down, open it up, and spray it out with a can of air. also make sure cables are neatly pushed away from where the cpu gets/puts air [16:49] <RussM> bostoman, Is your MTU 64 like in the link I sent? [16:49] <ubuntistas> joe-mac can i download it is a agood one ? [16:49] <bostoman> yeah it is [16:49] <mikes_> anyone know why synaptic doesn't show packages that I can use apt-get to install/uninstall ? [16:50] <ikonia> mikes_: such as ? [16:50] <mikes_> xchat for one :D [16:50] <joe-mac> ubuntistas: crossover, like RHEL, costs money because of the value-add. that's why i said if you need it for work or something... i bought it at work because i am an SA and have to compile a bunch of stuff for the management in excel but refuse to load windows on my workstation [16:50] <ubuntistas> i mean joe-mac is it a stable version is it good for my system? [16:50] <ActionParsnip1> mikes_: i've seen a few folks ask that. i can't advise as I dont use synaptic but you are not alone [16:50] <ikonia> mikes_: if you search in synaptic for xchat you'll find 3 packages [16:50] <Nike95> when I will open the local disk C on the operating system to xp I see an error [16:50] <joe-mac> i guess you can jump through hoops in wine to get mso2k7 working, but i'd rather not go through a bunch of stuff for it [16:50] <Lint01> What says an error? [16:50] <bostoman> let me try the mtu stuff [16:50] <joe-mac> ubuntistas: just get wine if you're looking to test it out... there are tutorials and stuff all over the net on how to get things working [16:51] <neodemi> im having problems using file-roller and rar archives [16:51] <Spl0it_> I had a question about the 64 bit version of Ubuntu, is it only for the AMD platforms? [16:51] <ikonia> Spl0it_: no [16:51] <mikes_> not here :( and if I search for IRC only pidgen shows up, i will try the older package manager [16:51] <eighthour> someone gave me an old laptop i want to put ubuntu on for my daughter but some asshat set a bios password....any suggestions....???....i have ubuntu on a flash drive if there are any tools that will help me there.... [16:51] <ikonia> Spl0it_: x86_64 platform [16:51] <Spl0it_> hmmm ok [16:51] <anom2> joe-mac: understood with thanks. it's already open and the cables are already tied away. is there a stronger command than "renice" that can severely force tasks to consume less CPU (say max 40%)?

[16:53] <bostoman> thanks! [16:53] <Nike95> what can i do? [16:53] <ActionParsnip1> eighthour: no, each bios manufacturer has a failsafe, its not always the name of the type, sometimes its something weird [16:53] <bostoman> I wonder why it got set to 64 initially though [16:53] <Lint01> you should rin checkdsk c: /f [16:53] <RussM> bostoman, Strange that it should have been 64 to begin with.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:08] <Led_Zeppelin> Izinucs, my mouse is freezing. Its a Ps/2 mouse. The pointer is moving but no clicks. [19:08] <f_newton> acked linux? what do you mean Led_Zeppelin? [19:08] <SimonS> different question, same area... does anybody know, how to make kde4 work with xinerama ?? (and displays with different resolutioN) [19:08] <what_if> Mr-Woof: its working fine so far, using the 64 bit version. What did yours not do ? [19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, using Nvidia? I can help . [19:09] <The_Joe_> Is there a way to stop the cursor showing up in screenshots? [19:09] <SimonS> yes using nvidia [19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, nvidia-xconfig [19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, enable xineerama [19:09] <Mr-Woof> I installed in wine, but i couldn't get any channels to run. If i remember it gave me a video style error. I'll try it again now and post the error message [19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, thagts how I am using it. It rocks. except this mouse thing :-( [19:09] <SimonS> whait, i just have to enable it in the nvidia-sttings tooll.. [19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yes. and restart X [19:09] <ActionParsnip1> The_Joe_: use imagemagick and draw a selection, no cursor [19:09] <Led_Zeppelin> brb. got to reboot. [19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: there is a linux version and a deb package, why do a wine version ? t [19:10] <Izinucs> Led_Zeppelin: might do it.. I had just terrible performance with the 177 driver.. my machine I built recently.. amd am2+ 4 gigs ram. etc. and it was much slower then an old 256 meg celeron single core [19:10] <The_Joe_> ActionParsnip1, I'd rather do it quicker than that - but thanks anyway [19:10] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS, yes, thats all you have to do.. [19:10] <Mr-Woof> ah that's probably the problem then :P [19:10] <Mr-Woof> is it in the repos? [19:10] <pop79> anyone have any graphics problems? [19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: see http://code.google.com/p/sopcast-player/ [19:10] <SimonS> Led_Zeppelin: i allread tried, and then i just had one screen, the other just had no kwin etc. pp.. [19:10] <SimonS> arg he left [19:10] <what_if> Mr-Woof: not in the repos, still very beta [19:10] <ActionParsnip1> The_Joe_: or move the pointer off the screen to the right ;) [19:10] <The_Joe_> ActionParsnip1, I was zoomed in. [19:11] <The_Joe_> Nevermind then. [19:11] <olavimmanuel> hello. I need evice3dfx-module in intrepid.. dont seem to be available... what shall i do?

Now ia get free espn! [19:12] <obi_> can anyone tell me how to better setup a dual monitor in intrepid? i can setup through screen resolution but the options are crummy. the only set up that functions remotely well is to mirror screens and the resolution options are poor. any suggestions?

[19:15] <obi_> porter1: thats a shame. is there any talk of that being fixed in upcoming releases of ubuntu [19:15] <Stustoph> hey [19:15] <porter1> obi_, Not sure. Is it just that the resolution options are bad? [19:15] <shausam27> i have a problem with boot up the line cman ccsi 4425 ccs unable to connect to cluster i hit the atl ctrl delete and it boots but all 3D and muitiable desktops are gone what do i to repair this this happen when i up dated some flies [19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: back [19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> so, whats up? [19:16] <Mr-Woof> wb [19:16] <SimonS> led_zeppelin: i allready tried like that, it worked with gnome, kde just ignores the second screen for plasmoids and wallpaper .... [19:16] <night_> hey, does some1 know winetricks? [19:16] <Led_Zeppelin> hmm. what is your default DM? gdm or kdm ? [19:16] <porter1> night_, are you trying to install extras? [19:16] <SimonS> so the second screen is empty, gra background an no plasmoids etc. [19:16] <imachine> night_, what's there to know. [19:16] <SimonS> gdm at the moment [19:16] <imachine> you just alunch it. [19:16] <imachine> it works. [19:16] <imachine> ;] [19:16] <ActionParsnip1> shausam27: do you mean multiple desktops in compiz or actual desktops in standard gnome?

[19:17] <Stustoph> any ideas [19:17] <obi_> porter1: well yes and no, i would be fairly content with the ability to have better resolution, but i would also ideally like to have the second monitor setup with better res and have it function just like multiple destops do, with all my icons and menu bars. [19:17] <Led_Zeppelin> SimonS: right. Use gdm as your default display manager. Then try to use kde [19:17] <night_> imachine, i have installed wine and wanna know if winetricks is good 4 it [19:17] <Tucker1979> Enter text here...Hello [19:17] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | Stustoph [19:17] <ubottu> Stustoph: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[19:58] <FedeUBS> 1280x1024 [19:58] <rdw200169> badpc, now, don't get me wrong, i do that too, but its on a case by case situation, for example, i use many applications that are cutting edge from the PPA's [19:58] <maxhax> ok... [19:58] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, i sincerely doubt it [19:58] <maxhax> il read the website.

[19:59] <Besogon> Where can I find icon files in Linux? (I need name icon for edit menu) [19:59] <dries> ifroog: if you use xkfc I don't think you can use Klauncher.. [19:59] <f_newton> that depends on the distro used Besogon in ubuntu Im not sure [20:00] <rdw200169> f_newton, oh, i know, stuff like dpkg --get-selections, etc... [20:00] <Ursinha> ifroog, klauncher is a kde stuff thing [20:00] <Don> RaceFan === Don is now known as Guest434 [20:00] <stroyan> dolo: You should check the ownership and permissions of ~ and ~/.dmrc. "ls -ld ~ ~/.dmrc" They should be owned by your account name. .dmrc should have -rw------- permissions. [20:00] <Ursinha> ifroog, if you run a kde app, it will use it [20:00] <f_newton> well Im a redhat oldtimer rdw200169 and not too familiar with ubuntu except for very early deb [20:00] <maxhax> I putted sudo tasksel install lamp-server in treminal and it opened some blue thing [20:00] <maxhax> what is happening [20:00] <rdw200169> f_newton, but that doesn't make me hate it any less! problems *always* come up... that, and you *never know* if your /home will upgrade well... [20:00] <xie041_> .... [20:00] <ifroog> dries, ah, ok [20:00] <maxhax> im total noob i know [20:00] <FedeUBS> rewt: when I put that resolution, a black screen appears, [20:00] <dolo> it does i followed the tutorial and ima logg out and logg back in [20:00] <ubuntu810> hi guys [20:01] <Ursinha> ifroog, when you installed amarok it certainly installed a lot of kde-* dependencies [20:01] <ifroog> dries, Never mind that, do you know how i can change kde theme from gnome? [20:01] <f_newton> build your /home on a separate partition rdw200169 and custom partition on new installs [20:01] <Ethosser> what's the best way to rename a ubuntu server? I head it can mess alot of things up ;o [20:01] <Besogon> f_newton, Im use ubuntu (with installed xfce) Do you know it? Where can I get names of icons? [20:01] <dries> ifroog: you have to install the KDE packages [20:01] <stealth_tty1> while trying to change my drivers to get better fps in wow under wine, I seriously messed up my system. After running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it wouldnt start up my X server :| It complained about not being able to find a usable screen. Ive found that happens when I turn on the kernel frame buffering device, if I turn it off, I get graphics, but no opengl. Wich makes wow pointless :| any help PLEASE? [20:01] <rdw200169> f_newton, that's what i do. i just wonder many times, if a new version of know will trash my gconf settings (for example...) [20:02] <Lasivian> is there any way to sort the list of wireless networks in Gnome? [20:02] <ifroog> dries, yes, i have kde installed too. [20:02] <f_newton> heh I am not in the xfce corral at all Besogon sorry I cant help [20:02] <rdw200169> f_newton, *gnome not know [20:02] <stroyan> Besogon: There are a lot of icons under /usr/share/icons/* [20:02] <ifroog> dries, But i cannot run kcontrol. [20:02] <ifroog> to configure the theme. [20:02] <dries> k, then logg off and choose KDE environment for this session [20:02] <ifroog> bash: kcontrol: command not found [20:02] <dries> yes, but you don't have to run klauncher to log off no? [20:02] <rdw200169> f_newton, it should be *strongly suggested* by the installer to set up a separate /home for that specific reason, but i understand why it isn't [20:03] <f_newton> rdw200169: thats anyone's guess.... but the good news is as linux matures it becomes more reliable during upgrades etc which I always recommend clean install [20:03] <cambazz> hello. how do I tell if one package is installed or not [20:03] <f_newton> rpm -q (package) [20:03] <Thanatoast> After giving up on Network Manager for a static IP, I uninstalled it and installed wicd, now I have no network: "current network not found" Any suggestions on how to get my network back and hopefully set a static IP? [20:03] <cooldduuudde> cambazz using synaptic [20:03] <ifroog> dries, never mind, the klauncher issue, i fixed it by running kdeinit [20:03] <Reformer81> I'm trying to unmount a partition, but I get an "in use" error. How do I find out what process is using that partition? I have no open files and/or file browsers pointing to that location. [20:03] <rdw200169> f_newton, I, also, always do a clean install. i find that dist-upgrades never quite turn out the way i want them to [20:03] <D99> Is there anyway I can install the Java 6 update 12. The PM only has Java 6 update 10 [20:03] <dries> ifroog: glad it works now [20:04] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: lsof | grep /dev/<partition name> [20:04] <f_newton> rdw200169: that is true for every distro linux or not [20:04] <Besogon> stroyan, I know it. but there only system icons (for themes I mean)... [20:04] <ifroog> dries, Yeah :) but i dont like the white kde theme on my black gnome theme. [20:04] <cooldduuudde> how can i get shockwave in ubuntu? [20:04] <ifroog> its a contrast and it looks ugly. i wish i could change that. [20:04] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: That does nothing. [20:04] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, i don't think its possible, yet. we do have flash 10 player, but not that (i think) [20:04] <dyhex> hi [20:04] <ubuntu810> i have a Q about ubuntu 8.10 32-bit how do i stop it from keeping in list of every video and picture i look at using movie player and f-spot ?

[20:04] <dyhex> there [20:04] <ActionParsnip1> cooldduuudde: you will need to run a browser via wine, shockwave is windows only [20:04] <dyhex> i try to install [20:04] <dyhex> openvpn [20:05] <FloodBot2> dyhex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:05] <dyhex> wzell [20:05] <rdw200169> cooldduuudde, yeah, i was gonna say that, you *can* get IE in wine, and use shockwave that way [20:05] <f_newton> bleah [20:05] <ActionParsnip1> Reformer81: you need to change the command to name the partition you are wanting to unmount [20:05] <stroyan> Besogon: What icon do you seek? What do you mean by "name icon for edit menu" ? [20:05] <FedeUBS> I have installed the nvidia drivers ver 177, and I can't set the resolution to 1280x1024, because a black screen appears when I set it, my monitor is a tft 17 [20:05] <FedeUBS> in my xorg I have this: Option "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0", if I put 1280x1024 +0+0" a black screen appears [20:05] <cooldduuudde> ActionParsnip1 rdw200169 i tried it wid firefox windows and shockwave but it crashes often in wine [20:05] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: I did.

But can't you change the collor in the settings? [20:06] <f_newton> sounds like wine to me cool === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze_ [20:06] <Reformer81> ActionParsnip1: Ah... it's just slow :P [20:06] <Reformer81> Sorry [20:06] <f_newton> lol I meant cooldduuudde === antoine is now known as antoine__ === KIAaze_ is now known as Tsukue2 === antoine__ is now known as antoine___ [20:06] <dyhex> i got this erro r [20:06] <rdw200169> dyhex, it would be best to try #openvpn [20:06] <cooldduuudde> rdw200169 can i get virtualbox thru synaptic?

[20:13] <stroyan> dyhex: The directions in you error message tell you to edit ./vars to set variables and then "source ./vars" to get those variables set in your shell. Do that. But you will also need "sudo -E ./build-ca" to preseve those variables when running build-ca [20:13] <mchamplain> Hi, when I install Ubuntu i find it really slow when it connect to the internet... I tried to load the live CD and change the 'software source' before I start the installation but it doesn't seems to make anything faster, I think the installation still use the canadian default server and it's really, really slow (like 50kbps instead of 800kpbs I can get with another server)...

You will need to source the file to set the environment variables. [20:15] <fearful> linny1, true, but it says no propiteray drivers found for this system, that means? [20:15] <Lasivian> is there any way to sort the list of wireless networks in Gnome?

You probably want to copy that aside to your own local directory instead of the original. [20:19] <rewt> HSNews, 'metric' is sorta like "how much it costs to use this route", so if there's multiple routes to the destination, the lower metric wins [20:19] <Kerry_Ki810> somebody help me please - trying to get skype to work in Kubuntu 8.10 [20:19] <linny1> fearful:ok let me see what drivers you should be running 1 sec [20:19] <Kerry_Ki810> i can chat for a few minutes then my mic sound just 'dies' [20:19] <fearful> linny1, well I'll dialog you because I have to eat lunch I'll brb in 20 mins [20:19] <linny1> ok [20:19] <ActionParsnip1> Kerry_Ki810: when it dies, run: dmesg tail [20:19] <Tucker1979> hi, more help with the graphic problem with Ubuntu 8.10 [20:20] <dyhex> ok [20:20] <ActionParsnip1> Tucker1979: sup [20:20] <dyhex> what is the next step ?

I do all my sound production work in windows or mac because of that but other then that I am completely linux based [20:27] <Tucker1979> it a Nvidia g72 card [20:27] <tibrox> Yeah, and now when I want to chat on Skype I have to go to my windows partition :( [20:28] <newt-home> tibrox: iirc there is a way to make skype work with linux but I have no clue about it [20:28] <tibrox> newt-home, I've googled the problem silly [20:28] <tibrox> newt-home, I even intalled esound :( [20:29] <newt-home> I was referring to audiophile sound production for producing masters for copy [20:29] <newt-home> wuttup perlmonkey? [20:29] <Tucker1979> i try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that did not work [20:29] <perlmonkey> how do you carry out cronjobs which require root? [20:29] <perlmonkey> with sudo [20:29] <newt-home> sudo -1 ? [20:30] <perlmonkey> oh, thanks [20:30] <Tucker1979> and it a DVI cable as well [20:30] <perlmonkey> newt-home cool nick [20:30] <newt-home> heh its a runner up [20:30] <perlmonkey> whats your nick normally, just newt? [20:30] <newt-home> f_newton dude [20:30] <perlmonkey> oh [20:30] <jhg> i have a question, the system doesn't see/mount any cdroms (audio nor data) i insert, when i try to mount a data cd manually it says no medium found. any idea? [20:31] <jhg> i also rebooted btw but that didnt help [20:31] <skate2> does sudo in other linux distros work the same as sudo in ubuntu or do they have diff options? [20:31] <Snover> jhg: Are you sure your CD drive isn’t broken? [20:31] <lucie> test [20:31] <usser> jhg, sounds like a hardware problem? did u install using cd? [20:31] <newt-home> most distros dont use sudo but it is available skate2 === blizzkid_ is now known as blizzkid [20:31] <cwurm> skate2: No, it's not the same in other distros. [20:31] <usser> skate2, it works the same [20:31] <usser> hehe [20:31] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: i'd have a read through 'dmesg | tail' when you put a cd in [20:31] <skate2> :/ [20:32] <lhoersten> whenever I log out of gnome, my screen turns black (backlight still on) and my computer becomes unresponsive. ctrl + alt + backspace/delete do nothing. I don't see a cursor in the top left either. Anyone have any ideas how to debug this? [20:32] <cwurm> usser, skate2: It does not. Fedora uses su -c 'command' or su - [20:32] <jhg> Snover: it still worked yesterday, its a possibility but i thought id first check if there are any known issues concerning this [20:32] <newt-home> imho it provides an uneeded layer of complexity but I dont make the distro [20:32] <Ethosser> guys how can I take a complete image of ubuntu server without a) affecting anything on the system b) paying for software :D [20:32] <Ethosser> Need it so if the hdd fails I can just re-image it [20:32] <usser> cwurm, im just saying if u enable sudo on fedora/centos/redhat it'll behave the same, su is entirely different beast [20:32] <skate2> cwurm can you install sudo on fedora? [20:32] <newt-home> yes [20:32] <newt-home> you can [20:33] <newt-home> its available for all linux distros [20:33] <rewt> !clone | Ethosser [20:33] <ubottu> Ethosser: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:33] <rewt> oh maybe not [20:33] <cwurm> Yup, it's no problem skate2. [20:33] <usser> Ethosser, boot into live cd find out the name of your harddrive, and do sudo dd if=/dev/sourcehdd of=/dev/target [20:33] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: it displays various things, no errors i think [20:34] <usser> Ethosser, where source and target are harddrive names ie sda or sdb, target have to be at least the same size as source [20:34] <newt-home> the basic purpose of sudo , skate2 , is to allow varying degrees of root access for different users and groups [20:34] <Snover> jhg: I would recommend putting in a known working boot CD (eg. a CD you have tested in another machine already). That should tell with certainty if it’s a hardware problem or not [20:34] <Ethosser> ok, thanks [20:34] <Ethosser> :) [20:34] <rewt> couldn't the dd target be a file (for easy transport)? [20:34] <newt-home> it is totally unnecessary for a single user skate2 [20:34] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: if you manually mount it from command line, can you give us the error in a pastebin [20:34] <skate2> newt-home, single user? [20:35] <newt-home> yeah how many people use your machine skate2? [20:35] <skate2> just me [20:35] <newt-home> you are one single user arent youi? [20:35] <perlmonkey> mkisofs -V LABEL -r directory | gzip > backup.iso.gz [20:35] <skate2> newt-home, yeah but i still have to use sudo because i cangt login as root [20:36] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: when i do mount /cdrom it says: mount: No medium found and when i do sudo mount /dev/sda /cdrom it says: mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /cdrom busy [20:36] <rewt> skate2: "sudo passwd" then give a root pass, and login with that [20:36] <newt-home> its a protection issue skate2 but one that is more of paranoid prevention rather then necessity [20:36] <boot_loop> If I ran the command 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' because someone told me this would only disable my touch stick mouse and not my touchpad, but it disabled my touchpad as well, how do I undo that change? or how do I get my touchpad back working?? [20:36] <skate2> rewt well i was told that i should still use sudo because running as root causes processes i start to run as root, such as open office, and that makes the program lesss secure [20:36] <newt-home> it actually makes it easier to take over your machine through the keyboard skate2 [20:37] <Ethosser> is http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page any good? [20:37] <Ethosser> looks easier [20:37] <rewt> yeah, don't run as root [20:37] <rewt> only login as root if you need to do a lot of root-needing stuff [20:37] <newt-home> skate2: you should only run as root when not network connected and for maint purposes [20:37] <rewt> or just "sudo -i" if you need to [20:37] <skate2> why login as root then i can just sudo -i [20:37] <skate2> right [20:37] <newt-home> right [20:37] <newt-home> what rewt saide [20:37] <ScottG489> I just changed my fstab and uswsusp.conf file to /dev's for my swap instead of their UUID's. Now it seems to start to work but after a lot of disk activity it just brings me back to the GUI. What should I do? [20:37] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: wrong command [20:38] <hayes> ow do i get a backtrace of a perl module [20:38] <ActionParsnip1> jhg: sudo mount /dev/sdc0 /media/cdrom0 [20:38] <skate2> rewt if i want to switch to a user who doesnt have a login ability do i have to su to root then su to them? [20:38] <skate2> cause i cant sudo -u non-loginable users like apache [20:38] <rewt> skate2, i "su thatuser -c /bin/bash" [20:38] * newt-home goes back to getting drunk [20:38] <rewt> not sure if it's "proper" [20:39] <rewt> but it works [20:39] <newt-home> thats pretty good rewt [20:39] <Izinucs> I'd like to slocate all wma files in my ~ and move them to <new directory> from the terminal.. doing it this way will save me hours of locating and copying. === martin__ is now known as Like [20:40] <skate2> rewt but i take it loggin in as a nonloginable user is bad and i should just temporarily sudo -u them [20:40] <usser> Izinucs, use find command [20:40] <usser> Izinucs, hang on [20:40] <boot_loop> I need help. I used the 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' command because i was told it would only disable my touch stick and not my touchpad, but it disabled both, how do I get my touchpad back? [20:40] <newt-home> unauthorized users are not recommended period [20:41] <Izinucs> maybe something like .. slocate *wma | -exec cp <something here> <new directory> * usser * [20:41] <ScottG489> Does the kernel patch for Tuxonice come with 8.10? [20:41] <rewt> skate2, i've only done that briefly to double check the user has permissions to exec/read/write/whatever [20:41] <hayes> did i get caught in a flood of activity?

[20:42] <newt-home> all anonymous users should be limited to user access only skate2 never give then any root access sudo or other wise [20:42] <jhg> ActionParsnip1: i have no sdc*, only sda, sda1, sda2 and sda5 [20:42] <hayes> did i get caught in a flood of activity?

Either, i think the command line is "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" for upgrading, but do a normal update before [20:44] <FM> Izinucs: good luck [20:44] <Tucker1979> can i use a Viritul Machine to test some things [20:44] <skate2> rewt that worked :D [20:44] <hayes> Look!

[20:51] <ma5t3rw1tt> I need some help. I just created a bootable usb stick using a guide over at pendrivelinux.com where you use the live cd to create a bootable usb stick and then you can boot Ubuntu from it. Well upon first boot, everything was fine. Then when I made some changes, like I changed the background & things and then closed out my session then later tried booting from it again, I keep coming to a busybox. I was being told earlier about if [20:51] <ma5t3rw1tt> I come to busybox again, is to enter a command or something to make sure my home directory is 755. What would the command b so my settings are properly saved when I close my sessions from the USB flash stick? [20:51] <newt-home> you will have to close out synaptic first though [20:51] <Pariah> ok [20:51] <Pariah> thanks a ton [20:51] <Pariah> new [20:51] <upfwnv03> Elmaron try CrunchEEE based on ubuntu but made for the eee [20:51] <Pariah> i'll try [20:51] <newt-home> not much help I know Pariah sorry [20:51] <ubuntu810> hi guys i asked about ubuntu 8.10 and privacy with movie player and f-spot how to get not to keep a list of every movie and picture i look at ?

This happened when I changed to a multiple screen config. [20:58] <RussM> Pariah, If you bring up System / Administration / Software Sources and go to the "Updates" tab, what does it say for "Release Upgrade"? [20:59] <ubuntu810> i had to change a bios setting to get a higher res. [20:59] <Hiroga> Hey, I have a question: I'm trying to run winetricks with sudo, but it tells me that I don't have permission to edit the files. I have edited files that require root permissions with sudo before. Any ideas what may be wrong? [20:59] <Pariah> I'm using Normal Releases options RussM [20:59] <Pariah> Per the instruction [20:59] <Pariah> s [20:59] <ubuntu810> in your bios change the setting from 200 MHz to auto [20:59] <meoblast001> :/ [20:59] <CaMason> hi guys.

[21:01] <FM> Izinucs: No, they don't need it. Probably some messy permissions due to copy procedure from a windows file system [21:01] <FedeUBS> ? [21:01] <Elmaron> nobody here who knows if ubuntu supports asus eee 1000h acpi or not? [21:01] <FedeUBS> ubuntu are you talking to me?

[21:01] <illumin8> Elmaron, someone suggested using crunchbang linux [21:01] <Izinucs> usser: FM that would explain it.. obviously what happened here with wma files.. certainly didn't create them on linux .. [21:01] <Pariah> Can Anyone help [21:01] <usser> FloatingApplets, just restart xorg, that happens sometimes [21:02] <FloatingApplets> ok, I'll try [21:02] <ubuntu810> one sec i will try to paste a screen shot for you [21:02] <Elmaron> illumin8: I dunno about crunchbang linux, I only know debian eee pc works perfectly fine [21:02] <FedeUBS> ok [21:02] <Elmaron> but it is based on debian _etch_ [21:02] <Elmaron> and etch is so old [21:02] <Elmaron> :/ [21:02] <met_> can anyone help me with getting my intel graphic card to run, I'm trying to install some drivers here: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html... but I get the following error message http://pastebin.com/m151ccc83 how can I get dri2proto to the latest version... [21:02] <RussM> Pariah, I have no other suggestion, unfortunately. It worked for me, so I never had to dig deeper. [21:03] <illumin8> Elmaron, crunchbang is a ubuntu based distro, they have a version specificly for eee [21:03] <IndyGunFreak> crunchbang will probably work fine on an eee.. i've had it on my AAO w/o problems, and they have very similar hardware [21:03] <illumin8> indeed, im using it now [21:03] <illumin8> extreamly fast. === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away [21:03] <dayo2> Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06. ubuntu 8.04. on an empty line when i repeatedly press Backspace of LeftArrow, i get: g g g g [21:03] <dayo2> how can i get rid of that? [21:03] <Elmaron> illumin8 how different is it from ubuntu? === Onslow is now known as Igor [21:03] <felixsulla> Is there any potential hazard with GRUB overwriting the windos installer? [21:04] <felixsulla> Or windows startup I mean? [21:04] <NativeAngels> ive installed vsftpd on my linux box but when dreamweaver goes to transfer files its getting permisons error how do i fix this === Igor is now known as BrzYdal [21:04] <dayo2> !grub | felixsulla [21:04] <ubottu> felixsulla: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[21:04] <Hiroga> Ahh, ok I found the problem [21:04] <illumin8> Elmaron, it uses openbox as a window manager instead of gnome, so its slightly diffirent but much more customizable. it comes preinstalled with most of the ubuntu restricted. (flash works out of the box( [21:04] <Hiroga> I shouldn't have run it with Sudo in the first place === erik_ is now known as Guest49354 [21:05] <Elmaron> illumin8 does it have ubuntu repositories for software? [21:05] <felixsulla> I mean, if the machine has XP now, and you add Ubuntu as a dual boot option [21:05] <Elmaron> e.g. can I install kde 4.2? [21:05] <illumin8> Elmaron, yes it is able to interface with the gnome-app-install (the add remove tool) [21:05] <Elmaron> no, I mean what is the packaging base? [21:05] <felixsulla> This tutorial says grub overwrites the xp loader, and there is no way to get it back. Should I be concerned about taht? [21:05] <Elmaron> apt-get again? and does it have the same repositories? [21:05] <jlevy> Anyone familiar with php configuration on a ubuntu server LAMP install? [21:05] <illumin8> Elmaron, ubuntu 8.10 [21:05] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: if you want kde 4.2, why not just install kubuntu? but yes,... you could install it on crunchbang (crunchbang is more or less ubuntu 8.10, with openbox gui) [21:06] <Elmaron> and is KDE in those repositories? [21:06] <Elmaron> IndyGunFreak: because ubuntu fails on eee? [21:06] <illumin8> Elmaron, yes apt-get package. [21:06] <Elmaron> at least that seems to be the case [21:06] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: in what manner?.. ubuntu 8.10 worked fine on my eee [21:06] <IndyGunFreak> which eee do you ahve? [21:06] <illumin8> Elmaron, you should join the crunchbang channel here they have one and could answer many questions [21:07] <Elmaron> IndyGunFreak: I have 1000H and I just wanted to know if ubuntu also has the proper acpi drivers [21:07] <Guest49354> Eeek! I've been battling this ubuntu problem for like a month! I could only login in failsafe mode and my .xsession-errors log says "Executing /usr/bin/gnome-session failed, will try to run x-terminal-emulator "fatal IO error 111" [21:07] <Elmaron> and nobody here was able to answer... and illumin8 sounded a bit as if no [21:07] <Pariah> I've followed all the instructions correctly on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading for upgrade to 8.10 [21:07] <IndyGunFreak> Elmaron: oh thats right.. sorry.

Now I cannot upgrade to 8.10 [21:13] <Pariah> Anybody with solution [21:14] <Izinucs> Guest49354: since you've removed all gnome- pkgs.. how about, from failsafe, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to make sure that everything is put back correctly? [21:14] <adaptr> Pariah: what do you mean that you "can't" upgrade [21:14] <Guest49354> Izinucs: I did that and it didn't work [21:14] <Pariah> adaptr.

The zyxel ap should be able to make 300 Mbit/s, but I would be ok with the g standard (54 Mbit/s). But at the moment I always have around 1 Mbit/s instead (not even 1/10th of 11Mbit/s). I also tried to set it up when I had both machines opposite to each other (1m). It never achieved great speed. We have quite a few aps [21:16] <RoastedTiresX> Ed - the most recent one, which is normally at the top. The reason they have multiple kernels is sometimes if you have problems iwth a newer kernel, the older kernel is in the list which gives you the abilitiy to boot to what works for you.

[21:27] <usser_> Kingsy101, in gnome right click on the file, there should be open with menu, click that in the new window theres a text field at the bottom type java -jar in that and press ok [21:27] <Xikkub> jrib: the dictionary files i haev contain real words, but they also contain strange, not-real words like IGN and stuff [21:27] <Xikkub> i need one that is just like the Merian dictionary used for scrabble or something [21:27] <Kingsy101> usser_ - thanks :) [21:27] <morphles> Slart: yeach i have iso, bet the peroblems is i have lots of apps that are not in iso. when i upgraded from 7.<something> to 8.04 i had to download like >3Gbs, and now it probably would be even more [21:28] <IndyGunFreak> icons-noob: is the icon pack a tar file? [21:28] <timahvo1> Xikkub: you mean like aspell ? [21:28] <hemimaniac> so rdw200169, i just take the commands from the text page and run them in terminal? [21:28] <ubuntu810> FedeUBS ok then your bios is older them mine [21:28] <Xikkub> isnt that just a program to spellcheck?

[21:29] <ubuntu810> yes i did before [21:29] <icons-noob> OxygenRefit2-white-version [21:29] <ubuntu810> the max res i chould get was 1440x900 [21:29] <rvn> when i try to use kazahakase with webkit it will not load pages, and if i had already loaded a page with gecko and then switch, then refrehs, it crashes the browser [21:29] <Slart> Xikkub: I think spellchecks are a bit more advanced than that.. you have endings, plural/singular etc.. I've never really looked into it but I think spellcheckers use something more like a database [21:29] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: would i go through the Art Manager? [21:29] <ubuntu810> once i changed that bios setting i was able to get 1680x1050 [21:29] <Xikkub> i never said i was making a dictionary === Stooge is now known as STooge [21:30] <Xikkub> i just need a dictionary TXT FILE that contains english words [21:30] <FedeUBS> but in another monitor I can reach 1440x900 [21:30] <IndyGunFreak> icons-noob: you *usually*, don't even need to do that.... system/pref/appearance/theme tab.. drag the tar ball there, if all is well, it will say its installed, then clcik customize, then the icon tab, and see if the icons you added are there === STooge is now known as Stooge [21:30] <FedeUBS> without problems [21:30] <timahvo1> Xikkub: I would guess there must be a db of words in aspell-en, aspell-de etc [21:30] <morphles> Slart: tjust befor release of 8.10 forrentfreak wronte an article about updating with torrents, but i thought maybe there was some official way for this, couse i dont really want to use scripts from that site, and they dont talk about stuff like donwload interuptions [21:30] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: let me try that [21:30] <Xikkub> i will download it and ttr [21:30] <Xikkub> try [21:30] <Ors> I am unable to play an ogg stream radio with Rhythmbox. I can only play it with VLC. Any suggestion will be appreciated [21:30] <Slart> Xikkub: although there are word lists out there.. used for password checks etc.. but I've never seen anything in the repos so I guess you'd have to talk to mr google and see what you can find [21:30] <rvn> when i try to use kazahakase with webkit it will not load pages, and if i had already loaded a page with gecko and then switch, then refrehs, it crashes the browser [21:30] <imaginativeone> how do I install mono? [21:30] <Xikkub> ive been searching but all the dictionarys are used for hacking and contain weird words [21:31] <Slart> morphles: there might be a way but I've never heard of it.. besides download the large iso-files, that is [21:31] <Xikkub> i need a true dictionary :0 but i will look [21:31] <porter1> imaginativeone, it is probably already instaled [21:31] <imaginativeone> porter1: thanks [21:31] <Slart> Xikkub: perhaps there are some language research sites out there.. those usually deal with counting words and such.. [21:31] <icons-noob> IndyGunFreak: It appeared to work then told me it failed [21:31] <IndyGunFreak> imaginativeone: its probably in the repos, if its not already installed.

Well my first boot was fine, but my second boot to see if any changes were made after I did them, it keeps bringing me to a Ubuntu Busybox, does anyone know why this is. I really need some help with this. I would like to have a portable OS [21:32] <IndyGunFreak> icons-noob: that shouldn't really matter, i've used them before no prob, i think it just depends how the tar file is written [21:32] <Xikkub> slart: please read. i just need a file with WORDS. i am not making a program to count words and such [21:32] <timahvo1> Xikkub: aspell-en has it installed at /usr/local/lib/aspell I think [21:32] <imaginativeone> IndyGunFreak: thanks [21:33] <rvn> when i try to use kazahakase with webkit it will not load pages, and if i had already loaded a page with gecko and then switch, then refrehs, it crashes the browser [21:33] <erikcc> need help logging into gnome without failsaife.

Intel ICH chip? [21:37] <Xikkub> thanks a ton, guys [21:37] <touchdownkid> Yeah. [21:37] <Slart> hmw: you need sudo to read the syslog? [21:38] <hmw> Slart not sure === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [21:38] <Daniel_G> ok ive just installed a new kernel via apt-get, the /boot/gub/menu.lst shows only the new kernel but it still boots into the old one. any suggestions? [21:38] <Slart> touchdownkid: I think it's a known problem.. not sure if it's a bug or something else.. afaik there not a lot you can do about it.. perhaps donate some money to whoever is working on the drivers [21:39] <Slart> Daniel_G: did you run "sudo update-grub" ? [21:39] <RussM> hmw, Slart not if you're in the adm group. [21:39] <Slart> RussM: ahhh.. didn't think of that.. thanks [21:39] <touchdownkid> Alright, I'll look around some more. Thanks. [21:39] <Daniel_G> Slart: ah i just did and it looks positive, thanks i'll brb ;) [21:40] <avis> ma5t3rw1tt, there is a package in the repo that will make a bootable ubuntu drive from a ubuntu iso, i believe its "usb-creator" does all the work for you [21:40] <guntbert> RussM: how do the two things (adm and need to sudo) connect? [21:41] <RussM> guntbert, If you're not in adm group, then you'd need to sudo in order to read /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages, because they're owned by root:adm and have permission set to be readable by only owner and group. === Ranakah is now known as _Vampire_ [21:42] <tomvolek_> can anybody suggest a free web hosting site for a small web site ? === eric is now known as Guest28914 [21:42] <rewt> freewebs.com [21:42] <fearful> tomvolek_, www.freewebs.com [21:42] <rewt> JINX [21:42] <guntbert> RussM: but if you are not in the adm group you cannot sudo root, can you? [21:42] <Slart> tomvolek_: I heard people talking about that in #ubuntu-offtopic, try going there [21:42] <tomvolek_> thanks all [21:42] <Slart> guntbert: you could config sudo.. but not by default, afaik [21:42] <prince_jammys> guntbert: yeah, you could if you were in the admin group but not in adm === _Vampire_ is now known as Ranakah [21:42] <RussM> RussM, That depends on whether you've convigured sudo. [21:42] <erikcc> jribhere is all the info --> http://pastebin.com/m7d0b957 [21:43] <Daniel_G> Slart: i did that, and it gave back some info and specifically mentioned the new kernel, but alas it still boots into the old one... [21:43] <erikcc> jrib: Here is the error message I get when I first login wit the new user and what is in my .xsession-errors file --> http://pastebin.com/m7d0b957 [21:43] <guntbert> prince_jammys, Slart: thx, those to similar names mixed my brain up :-)) [21:44] <prince_jammys> guntbert: on a single-user installation with only one sudoer, you wouldn't need to sudo [21:44] <Slart> Daniel_G: if you check the menu.lst file, is it still pointing to the new kernel? [21:44] <jrib> erikcc: you haven't changed any files outside your /home? [21:44] <Slart> Daniel_G: update-grub will change that file..you have to edit it at the right place [21:44] <Crewsr3_1> hmw, thanks for the suggestions I did not see anything in the logs with the right time stamp. I went and tryied to copy the files again and then opened the logs again and nothing new seems to be there....Any other ideas [21:44] <Daniel_G> Slart: the menu.lst file *only* contains the new kernel, there is no mention of the old one in there at all === wolter is now known as wolter-ubuntu810 [21:45] <erikcc> jrib: I upgraded to the latest ubuntu when all this started, but I didn't personally change any. I messed with the xorg.conf file but I've since deleted it and reinstalled other drivers [21:45] <guntbert> prince_jammys: in standard ubuntu? [21:45] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 - besides filesys integrity check ... [21:45] <prince_jammys> guntbert: in standard ubuntu, there's one sudoer, who is in the adm group by default [21:45] <amen51> hi, has anybody used farsi/arabic/etc. in console? I need to have farsi support in mutt, the bidirectional thing works out well using fribdi, but character shaping is not [21:45] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, how are you copying the files? [21:46] <Slart> Daniel_G: well.... then I don't really know.. afaik there are no other secret settings.. perhaps reinstall grub? [21:46] <guntbert> prince_jammys: exactly, so this one has still to sudo :) (my brain is not *that* mixed up ;-)) [21:46] <Crewsr3_1> RussM, hmw I'm using Nautilus and have a sftp connection from the computer I'm on to the other ubuntu computer [21:47] <prince_jammys> guntbert: huh? [21:47] <Daniel_G> Slart: http://pastebin.com/d7e6b36f - can you have a look and tell me if theres anything wrong with that? [21:47] <Sensae> I borked my X system. What is the default open source drivers for nvidia cards? [21:47] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, Ah, OK, sftp. I haven't used sftp much. [21:47] <erikcc> jrib: it's been one wild goose chase after another trying to find the solution on google. [21:47] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 - simple things like enough free space, loose cable, did you try again? uhm... [21:47] <jrib> erikcc: what ubuntu version are you on now? [21:48] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 i dont really know, how to track this down [21:48] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, I think last time I had to do that I used rsync [21:48] <erikcc> jrib: the latest one 8.10 I believe [21:48] <Slart> Daniel_G: it looks correct to me. [21:48] <jrib> erikcc: what does « lsb_release -c » return? [21:48] <Daniel_G> grr [21:48] <Crewsr3_1> hmw, RussM what is the CLI way to check for enough disk space, I have a ssh into the box [21:48] <usser_> Sensae, nv [21:48] <hmw> Crewsr3_1 maybe problems with character set and some files containing strange chars [21:48] <usser_> Crewsr3_1, du -h [21:48] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, df would be a good start. [21:48] <DanielCar> df = disk free [21:48] <guntbert> prince_jammys: I'm afraid we are drifting off topic - and its not so important, anyway you were correct in pointing me to the difference between adm and admin groups [21:49] <usser_> Crewsr3_1, du -h /path [21:49] <erikcc> jrib: it returns "intrepid" [21:49] <Sensae> usser_: ty, fixed it [21:49] <RussM> Crewsr3_1, df will show you how full each filesystem is. [21:49] <erikcc> jrib: it returns "Codename: intrepid" to be exact [21:49] <jrib> erikcc: have you ever been able to login on intrepid? [21:50] <erikcc> jrib: At first I was, then when I upgraded nvidia drivers is when this happened [21:50] <Daniel_G> Slart: ffs, it seems the machine has both grub and lilo installed, and its boots off lilo [21:50] <Crewsr3_1> hmw, RussM the drive is full, thanks for your help! [21:50] <touchdownkid> Fixed my sound problem. [21:51] <erikcc> jrib: I think it asked me at one point if I wanted to stop using xorg-config or have it automatically managed or something like that. I thought this was a new cool thing in Intrepid so I said yes [21:51] <DanielCar> Is there a doc page that says what is the best way to udpate to a later version of a piece of software?

He runs a different network manager than what's included in the usual Ubuntu. It's just called "Network" in his menu. Is there anyone here that can identify the package name for the manager (not NetworkManager) and tell me if it supports wpa-supplicant?

[22:39] <psywiped> mike shoud check that lts isnt selected [22:39] <Cpudan80> you have to step through all the intermediate released (unless you go from 6.06 to 8.04) [22:39] <mathias> . [22:39] <homeskill> i think putty handles its own colors [22:39] <mike3> Cpudan80: I did and it says my system is completely updated [22:39] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], Can you not see any wireless networks, not connect to them, etc. What isn't working [22:39] <homeskill> ive gotten vim in color in putty [22:39] <wolter> i installed a non-ubuntu compat-wireless because my m1530 was failing.. it gave system stalls with blinking lights. So, I compiled and installed one but now I can't use it. [22:39] <Cpudan80> mike3: since Interpid is not an LTS release, you cant see it in hardy [22:39] <Cpudan80> !upgrade | mike3 [22:39] <ubottu> mike3: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:39] <dkg> Can I use ntldr as my boot loader? if so how? [22:39] <RussM> Iceman_B^Ltop, I get "ls" output in color, so I would expect nano could use color, too. [22:40] <Cpudan80> mike3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades [22:40] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: I've not seen any color in nano.. like color-coding for sourcecode [22:40] <Iceman_B^Ltop> monochrome here though [22:40] <Iceman_B^Ltop> kay [22:40] <Iceman_B^Ltop> no matter [22:40] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; I had been able to connect to my Wireless network while using the LiveCD but after installing I was and still not able to connect to my network. Aswell as WICD can not identify any [22:40] <MoTec> I've never seen nano do any color [22:40] <fearful> Cpudan80, not even if he chooses Normal Update not Long Term Support? [22:40] <Cpudan80> fearful: well yes that is what he has to do [22:40] <MoTec> my irssi does color and bold.. as does my prompt and my ls [22:40] <psywiped> fearful were not sure he did [22:41] <Cpudan80> fearful: by default it is set to LTS only [22:41] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: you know about 'screen' yet? [22:41] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], That's odd, can you pastebin the output of "iwlist scan" and "lsmod" ? [22:41] <MoTec> Since you're apparently going to use ssh :) [22:41] <Mike_921> How can I go about overriding an IP address with with another IP in Ubuntu, back when I was in Windows I would do it at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, however I've tried /etc/hosts and it didn't work for me. Is there something I'm missing? [22:41] <fearful> Cpudan80, yea I thought so [22:41] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; of course [22:41] <ma5t3rw1tt> j [22:41] <RussM> Iceman_B^Ltop, vim and xemacs certainly are in color in putty. [22:42] <mike3> Cpudan80: okay cool i'm upgrading now. [22:42] <psywiped> mike_921 are you trying to change where one ip address sends you to? [22:42] <dkg> how do I use windows ntldr instead of grub? or have ntldr load grub as an option? [22:42] <fearful> psywiped, did you read my pm? [22:42] <Cpudan80> mike3: great, have fun! :-P [22:42] <psywiped> yea its cool fearful [22:42] <mike3> Cpudan80: are you being sarcastic? [22:42] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m30a29a87 [22:42] <Cpudan80> mike3: lol well... take it as you will [22:43] <fearful> I'm having troubles finding where to get this prompt for password on awake, I changed from gnome-screensaver to xscreensaver and no password now any ideas? [22:43] <Mike_921> psywiped: I think, I'm trying to connect to a server through a port but I want to override the IP of the server to another server with the same port. [22:43] <psywiped> mike-921 you just made my head hurt [22:43] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], I assume that if there is a wireless switch on your laptop it is set to on / enabled ? [22:44] <Cpudan80> fearful: system --> prefs --> screensaver --> Lock screen when active [22:44] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; I believe it is [22:44] <fearful> Cpudan80, that's the problem I stopped gnome-screensaver from running, I'm running xscreensaver as default now [22:44] <Iceman_B^Ltop> MoTec: yea, ive played with screen before [22:45] <Mike_921> psywiped: okay well let's say that it what I'm trying to do, how would I go about doing that? [22:45] <Iceman_B^Ltop> MoTec: only used irssi in screen though [22:45] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], Can you try booting from the oldest kernel in your grub menu ( which would be the one that the LiveCD used ) ? [22:45] <psywiped> mike im still not sure what your trying to do [22:45] <Cpudan80> fearful: ehhh no idea [22:45] <RussM> Mike_921, Are you trying to change the IP address that a name resolves to? === Daviey_ is now known as Daviey [22:46] <murphydactyl> Hi I am getting weird redraw problems in hardy after installing latest nvidia driver (180.29). Gnome menus hilite but then don't unhilite. Anybody know what's up? [22:46] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; 3 are listed, any way I can tell which one that would be? [22:47] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], It would be the one farthest down the list that does not say "recovery" [22:47] <psywiped> i like the os loader that windows uses is that bad? [22:47] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; including the one with memtest at the end? [22:47] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], No [22:48] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; Ok, be right back [22:48] <Iceman_B^Ltop> how can I tell what services are running? [22:48] <Iceman_B^Ltop> or, daemons [22:48] <wolter-ubuntu810> hi [22:49] <wolter-ubuntu810> can somebody help me with this? http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download#DownloadlatestLinuxwirelessdrivers [22:49] <McShane> Iceman_B^Ltop: try htop [22:50] <Mike_921> RussM: I'm not really sure. Let's say I can connect to 1.1.1.1:5000 and I can want to connect to 1.1.1.2:5000 by overriding 1.1.1.1 [22:50] <Mike_921> and I want to* [22:51] <Iceman_B^Ltop> well actually, I want to check if a specific service is running; ebox, samba and any webserver that ebox might have installed [22:51] <RussM> Mike_921, I think you'd need to write some iptables rules to do that... [22:51] <Mike_921> RussM: How could I do that? [22:51] <psywiped> mike_921 are you trying to get around a FW? [22:51] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; out of the 3 listed one was Recovery, the other Memtest and the first one the one that normally boots [22:52] <RussM> Mike_921, That's beyond my experience. I've read a little about it, but haven't actually tried it. Unless someone else here has some experience, you're probably going to have to follow some iptables guides. [22:53] <psywiped> mike_921 are you trying to get around a FireWall? [22:53] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: top [22:54] <Mike_921> psywiped: No, it's just the only way I can connect to the server [22:54] <taz_white95> Ubuntu 8.10 UDF Valume on a CD Any one know how to mount the beeb [22:54] <MoTec> sorry, i'm slow.. ehhe [22:54] <RussM> Mike_921, Are you running some piece of software that has an ip address hard-coded into it, and you can't change it? [22:55] <fearful> Any ideas why no password is prompted after suspend? [22:55] <psywiped> mike_921 we kind of need to know why your trying to do what your trying to do so we can figure out how to do it [22:55] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; out of the 3 listed one was Recovery, the other Memtest and the first one the one that normally boots [22:55] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], OK, I don't particularly like using ndiswrapper if it's not necessary but it might work. First we should find if there is a windows driver for your card that is known to work with ndiswrapper [22:55] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: ps -ef | grep Whatever [22:55] <psywiped> fearful because your not making use of the screen saver [22:55] <Jordan_U> Fallen[q], I am looking now [22:56] <Fallen[q]> Jordan_U; Thank you I appreciate it [22:56] <fearful> psywiped, I'm back to using gnome-screensaver and having the same problem [22:56] <taz_white95> Any know how to mount a UDF format [22:56] <fearful> psywiped, was fine before I installed xscreensaver [22:56] <psywiped> because it goes to the lockout screen when the screensaver starts not when you suspend the comuter fearful [22:57] <Carstairs> any one help me with open arena problem? [22:57] <slash3s> hey [22:57] <slash3s> hi [22:57] <slash3s> i need help [22:57] <slash3s> i cant change my screen resolution [22:57] <slash3s> and i need it in 1024... [22:57] <credo> Carstairs: whats the problem? [22:57] <fearful> psywiped, I'm not sure I understand, before this I used to suspend or hibernate and everytime no matter if it was 1 minute or 2 hours I would get prompted for a password upon awake. [22:57] <Carstairs> screen is too dark cant see other players [22:57] <wolter-ubuntu810> how do i start the wpa_sufficient service? [22:58] <credo> Carstairs: try open up the console ant type /r_gamme 1.5 [22:58] <psywiped> fearful have you looked in the forum yet? [22:58] <credo> Carstairs: r_gamma * [22:58] <fearful> psywiped, to be honest no [22:58] <credo> Carstairs: you can set it via graphic option in the menus [22:58] <Carstairs> will try it thanks credo [22:58] <slash3s> someone help me [22:58] <slash3s> :S [22:58] <slash3s> please [22:59] <Iceman_B^Ltop> ah MoTec: that was what I waslooking for [22:59] <Carstairs> no tried all those options [22:59] <Carstairs> in full screen it is too light [22:59] <slash3s> hello ?

[23:00] <credo> its a bug in q3 engine where it will set gamma to 1 when windowed [23:00] <slash3s> i cannot change my screen resolution [23:00] <DiDiVp> slash3s, how? [23:00] <credo> maybe not a bug, a feature [23:00] <Carstairs> but it worked fine on earlier ubuntu [23:00] <Jampiter> IS there a way of viewing my current CPU temperature in Ubuntu? [23:00] <slash3s> :S [23:00] <slash3s> what's matter with you [23:00] <tritium> Jampiter: with lmsensors [23:00] <DiDiVp> slash3s, what happened? [23:00] <MoTec> Iceman_B^Ltop: you can filter out the grep itself by doing: ps -ef | grep -v | grep whatever [23:00] <Mike_921> psywiped: The server I'm trying to override is a server for a game and I'm trying to replace it with a server that I normally wouldn't have access to. The two servers have different IP's but the same port. [23:00] <slash3s> i need help [23:00] <Iceman_B^Ltop> cool [23:01] <slash3s> i cannot change my screen resolution [23:01] <credo> it acts randomly for me- sometimes it keeps the gamme, sometimes not [23:01] <MoTec> or use pgrep instead [23:01] <slash3s> is too small [23:01] <Jampiter> tritium: How do I do that?

[23:23] <cd> sorry could you speak it with easy english [23:23] <psywiped> yea i did thesaint6666 [23:23] <f_newton> thesaint4444, yes I do it frequently [23:23] <meoblast001> where does mysql dump databases to? [23:23] <subzero_> hi [23:23] <thesaint4444> f_newton, which method works best for you? thanks. [23:23] <psywiped> cd you put the lime in the coke you nut [23:23] <roadrock> meoblast001: use mysqladmin ...last time i used it. [23:24] <Iceman_B^Ltop> whats the command to start the gui control panel ? [23:24] <meoblast001> roadrock: i need to do this with 100% command line [23:24] <thesaint4444> f_newton, I need to use the vista partition shrink function but it does not seem to work to create some space for my ubuntu partition. [23:24] <psywiped> thesaint wubi is good to start but then if you can just resize your partition and install [23:24] <roadrock> meoblast001: exactly what i assumed yes. cli [23:24] <f_newton> I cut the hdd in half leaving the second half unpartitioned... I install the ubuntu cd then click on manual partition when that screen comes up. I choose the unpartitioned space and partition it ext3 using / as my root partition [23:24] <n8tuserf> Iceman_B^Ltop-> clarify what you wanted done? [23:25] <f_newton> thesaint4444, do you have the original restore disk for your laptop ? [23:25] <meoblast001> roadrock: doesnt mysqladmin use php? [23:25] <cd> i think i should change my name [23:25] <roadrock> meoblast001: not that i know of. [23:25] <psywiped> cd that would be a good idea use /nick [23:25] <thesaint4444> f_newton, it is a thinkpad x200 so I believe there is a built in restore partition... [23:26] <latit> whereis mysql? [23:26] <cd> just like this [23:26] <cd> oh no [23:26] <psywiped> latit on your computer [23:26] <Iceman_B^Ltop> I want to check my disk usage, but I'm not at my ubuntu box right now. I have X forwarded to this winxp machine im on and I have putty running. how do I see the disk usage thingy ? [23:26] <meoblast001> roadrock: ok... i'm reading through it's help and cant find one to backup databases [23:26] <roadrock> meoblast001: you're thinking of phpmysql or something [23:26] <thesaint4444> f_newton, can I use that to change the partition sizes? [23:26] <meoblast001> roadrock: ahh yes [23:26] <psywiped> thesaint go to controlpannel [23:26] <prince_jammys> Iceman_B^Ltop: the graphical one is called 'baobab', i think. [23:26] <thesaint4444> f_newton, and still keep my existing vista data and setup? [23:26] <cd> a try [23:27] <erUSUL> Iceman_B^Ltop: DISPLAY=host:1 baobab & [23:27] <n8tuserf> Iceman_B^Ltop -> disk usage == du so on command line you type du, also look into df -h [23:27] <f_newton> well you need to use that to create your restore dvds and then you use something like a dos partitioner to wipe the drive and then separate it in to two partitions both primary... then install your restore disks on part one and when thats done install ubuntu on part 2 [23:27] <meoblast001> roadrock: how do you make backups [23:27] <psywiped> yes thesaint [23:27] <roadrock> meoblast001: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/administrator/en/index.html i forgets. [23:27] <f_newton> vista hogs the whole partition and misrepresents it [23:28] <thesaint4444> f_newton, yes that would certainly be a way to do it. I was hoping it would be easier.... lol [23:28] <psywiped> then go to administrator tools [23:28] <roadrock> meoblast001: the syntax is tricky remember the -p for password. and definetly set one [23:28] <f_newton> you can defrag it and then try to shrink it through the system tools storage snap in thesaint4444 === Sniper is now known as Guest76194 [23:28] <psywiped> thesaint Control Panel\Administrative Tools [23:29] <thesaint4444> f_newton, that is a good idea, I looked at that but could not find the defrag option - is it an add on or 'snap in' thanks... [23:29] <psywiped> then go to computer management thesaint [23:29] <n8tuserf> meoblast001 -> you said you read the manual for mysqldump? did you somehow missed this: shell> mysqldump --master-data=2 --all-databases > dumpfile [23:29] <Iceman_B^Ltop> prince_jammys: you were right, thanks [23:30] <meoblast001> n8tuserf: let me check again and see if that's in there [23:30] <thesaint4444> psywiped, that does not work, you have to defrag first I believe or disk shrink does not function. [23:30] <f_newton> defrag is in system tools right next to disk clean up thesaint4444 [23:30] <thesaint4444> f_newton, got it thanks... - will give that a go now. [23:30] <f_newton> k [23:30] <psywiped> shrink works without a defrag it just wont give you as much space [23:30] <f_newton> hope you have time [23:30] <meoblast001> ok [23:31] <wermse> I have an Intel DG45FC motherboard with Ubuntu 8.10 running on it right now. All is working fine but I am unable to get the optical audio or HDMI audio to work. the normal audio jacks on the motherboard work fine. Any idea where I could look to figure out how to make optical audio work? [23:31] <thesaint4444> psywiped, thanks - I could not get it to work... [23:31] <f_newton> psywiped, that is very dangerous and generally causes you to lose important registry info [23:31] <nephish> hey there all [23:31] <psywiped> no issues for me when i did it [23:31] <psywiped> hi nephish [23:31] <C-S-B> wermse, I have a similar issue on my vaio, I think audio over hdmi is pretty hit and miss [23:32] <meoblast001> n8tuserf: i really wouldnt calll this much of a backup [23:32] <f_newton> thesaint4444, you also need to check your hardware for compatibility w/linux [23:32] <meoblast001> n8tuserf: i don't see any of my data in there [23:32] <wermse> i'm mostly trying to make the optical audio work. I've read in numerous places that people have it working but i cant find anywhere explaining how they managed to get it to work [23:32] <srid> hello there - I upgraded to Jaunty (9.04) and everything works except wireless: Network Manager shows list of available network, but when I select my wifi network, the connection keeps happening.. after 3 mins or so.. it failes. any idea why?
