Use the Live CD, run gparted from there, and delete the partition that ubuntu is on. Vista will find the blank space [01:56] Hi! I have installed the "netathw" driver through ndiswrapper. it says the hardware is present but i still dont see any wireless. I know that there is a network, and I just had it working until the reinstall this morning. whats next? === geo_ is now known as geo05 [01:57] <_VIM_> WebcamWonder: don't let him get to you, what he said is not true anyways :) [01:57] jrib: but do you know if there's any way to just make an alias for the user? [01:57] assmonger: no, I don't know [01:57] kinja-sheep, that's the one. I use the wireless a lot streaming HD videos and if that's not considered heavy traffic, then I don't know what is [01:57] btw every time i install a new driver the ndiswrapper hangs. [01:57] gparted? === horstle is now known as [horstle] [01:57] _VIM_: hmm, thanks :) [01:57] is that a command? [01:57] jrib: k thx [01:57] kinja-sheep, I am getting you the good link for the download now. [01:57] or can I add a NTFS partition from here? and leave ubuntu? [01:58] dustin87, yes, run gksu gparted [01:58] <_VIM_> WebcamWonder: and I think it's !attitude :) [01:58] Huufarted: I tried this before. It didn't work. And it happens to mess up the wired networking too. I have to resort back to linux-general-driver-9 (the older one). I don't know how I can go back to 11. I purged it and reinstall it but it's still same. [01:58] dustin87: yes, you can, use live CD, format Ubuntu partition with fdisk [01:58] kinja-sheep, the one you're talking about isn't the link that I'm finding [01:58] _VIM_: Ah, nice. Usually, I take a blink chance at the factoids, and they work out pretty well :d [01:59] <_VIM_> hehe [01:59] kinja-sheep, give me a few and try this, but let me get this link. [01:59] Huufarted: Okay. [01:59] fdisk? [01:59] from DOS or ubuntu? [01:59] or the Windows CD? [01:59] dustin87: Ubuntu [01:59] ok how do I get to fdisk from ubuntu to make a NTFS file system or a new partition? [02:00] Hi! I have installed the "netathw" driver through ndiswrapper. it says the hardware is present but i still dont see any wireless. I know that there is a network, and I just had it working until the reinstall this morning. whats next? also everytime i install a new driver through ndiswrapper it will hang, and I have to force quit it. and when i open it again the driver is there.

[02:00] dustin87: Ubuntu LiveCD [02:00] Yeah I have it here [02:00] Hi, I had to manually mount my USB flash drive into /Media/ufd and now permissions are messed up so I have to sudo every time I want to copy files to it. How do I get my regular user to be able to drag and drop files to this mount point? [02:00] dustin87: Put that in, boot from LiveCD, from there you can use gparted to pretty much do anything you want with your partitions [02:01] ok what format do I use that way it will install Vista cuz when I try it says it has to be NTFS and won't let me go further installing vista [02:01] or let me format [02:01] from vista cd [02:01] uoaphys, who owns the mount point? [02:01] I just got rid of Windows on my computer and now I'm running Ubuntu. I want to run Ubuntu on my other computer as well, however I want to be able to login to the same user account on each computer. How would I go about doing that? [02:01] mrwes: The chance is that it's root. :) [02:02] dustin87: You can erase your entire partition/resize if you want from liveCD [02:02] kinja-sheep, nod [02:02] dustin87: fotgot about vista, first you need to uninstal ubuntu [02:02] ok but what file system do I use because it doesn't have NTFS from the Ubuntu cd [02:02] mrwes: root [02:02] i chmod it to 777 thought === [1]Jado is now known as Jado [02:02] uoaphys, from a terminal type sudo chown YOURUSERNAME:YOURUSERNAME /Media/ufd [02:03] dustin87: there is NTFS too [02:03] ntfs is not on options [02:03] uoaphys, you need to change the owership too [02:03] mrwes: thanks [02:03] dustin87: Just boot up from the LiveCD and use gparted [02:03] mrwes: can you help me figure out why ubuntu won't mount it automatically and is throwing this error? have you ever heard of this on a usb flash disk?

[02:17] Levandia: any results? [02:17] Can someone please help me? I just got rid of Windows on my computer and now I'm running Ubuntu only. I want to run Ubuntu on my other computer as well, however I want to be able to login to the same user account on each computer. How would I go about doing that? [02:17] glenrock: none. [02:17] Izinucs: none. [02:17] uh oh [02:17] I'm telling you, the process is not open. [02:17] Ok, I have a "Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Unknown device 002a (rev 01)" and i installed netathw driver through ndiswrapper. ndiswrapper says the hardware is present, but I still dont have a wireless option. what do i do? [02:18] glenrock: that sounds bad. [02:18] Levandia: i don't know a fix for that. if it were my box, id probably mv .mozilla-thunderbird mozilla-thunderbird.old and then reconfigure thunderbird, but someone might have a better idea [02:18] tuxtox: depending on which atheros.. you could uninstall what you installed and install the ubuntu restricted extras which has several atheros drivers .. [02:19] glenrock: perhaps I should ask on Mozilla's IRC. [02:19] lzinucs what is the terminal command for that? [02:19] Levandia: yep, might find some help there [02:19] Mike94287: are the machines networked ? [02:19] Mike94287: Just make a user account? If you're talking about sync-ing everything. That's not likely. However, you should use Unison as to sync the said folders. However. Everything in ~/ (your profile directory) is full of configuration/preferences. [02:19] glenrock: thanks. :) [02:19] Iceman_B^Ltop: Yes [02:19] Levandia, thunderbird probably left a some *.lock file. [02:20] Mike94287: go with what kinja-sheep said [02:20] seen_: what do you suggest to do? [02:20] also, on that topic, there is no substitute for something like a active directory and roaming profiles ? [02:21] q [02:21] q [02:21] Find it, and delete it. it probably located somewhere in ~/.mozilla or ~/.thunderbird or similar directory [02:21] quit [02:21] Levandia: it is the first time you use Thunderbird? [02:21] No, presshere. [02:22] Levandia: search in procceses list if there is any Thunderbirds jobs [02:22] Iceman_B^Ltop: Not that I know of. I'm not hardcore linux user. :) [02:22] greetings. I seems to have painted myself into a corner. Installed 8.10 64 bit on a new HP pavilion notebook and it boots but no ethernet no wireless. Various forums articles suggest downloading backports and using earlier driver. However, I cannot use apt-get cause I ain't got no network. I do have my primary linux box, which is Fedora Core 10. Suggestions. [02:22] hi [02:22] presshere: no, again. [02:22] There aren't any. [02:22] Levandia: hm...try to reboot the system... [02:22] presshere: did so.

[02:24] Levandia: it is very strange, maybe an reinstalation may help to resolve [02:25] Mike94287: Not exactly. You'll have to install unison-gtk and sync the files/folder. At prompt, it'll display the list of files/folders that will be sync between two machines at a time. You'll have to play with Unison to see what I mean by that. [02:26] Mike94287: Supposed I work on a file. And I goes to my notebook. I realized the file isn't updated. I then run Unison and start syncing everything (new, last modified date, etc). Then I work with the file. It's possible that you set it up in session to auto-sync everything at login (rsync, I believe). [02:26] anyone can help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/122141/ [02:26] kinja-sheep: Okay I'll test it out, thanks.

(you can comment out the line hidemenu with a #hidemenu) so that grub will display them. [02:38] ahaha too late [02:38] Levandia: put it in /etc/fstab -- oh wait.

[02:51] Levandia: just comment out the UUID lines and replace them with the sdx.

[02:51] Levandia: iirc /dev/sdx refers to the drive plugged into the xth port, whereas the UUID label refers to an ID on the media. [02:52] aledge: absolutely understood.

[03:08] I have clam av it works great but there are no virises on it [03:08] cupsys [03:09] Russia ) [03:10] niyado: you could try unistalling gnash-- then make sure you have multiverse enabled then flash should then show up in your synpatic package manger. [03:10] how i make sure that i have multiverse enable? === kusachiho is now known as Elda [03:10] niyado: system- software sources... [03:11] Okey.... I missed it before as I was in class but what is the thing I black list to kill the system beep? [03:12] can anyone help me out with a hardware hack? [03:12] no [03:12] but out of curiosity, what is it? [03:12] Elda: blacklist pcspkr in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:12] niyado: if that flash does not want to work for you then you can install the 9 version from here (just make sure to uninstall the 10 using synaptic package manger) Ubuntu -- Details of package flashplugin-nonfree in hardy [03:13] mikewu ty :) [03:13] Elda: or just disable the console beep in your terminal settings [03:13] Elda: and either restart or run sudo rmmod pcspkr in your terminal [03:13] Where do you change the font that shows insdie gedit, which is also the font showing for "file, edit, insert, bookmarks" on konversaion?

[03:15] you can [03:15] megan, why did he say no? this is not a channel to discuss hacking or illegal activities [03:15] so you've got wireless, just no access to the router 'eh? [03:15] IE, its not YOUR wireless... [03:15] niyado: uninstall gnash -- because it will conflict with the Adobe version of Flash- [03:15] how i unistall gnash? tht is what i want to do [03:15] ooo [03:15] Is there a way I can get the cupsys that comes with Intrepid on Dapper? I need the pdftopdf cups filter. [03:15] ok lets c thx [03:15] no no its my landlords, it comes with my rent [03:16] I'm attempting to link /var/www in /home/sal, and it links fine if i'm cd'ing using ssh, but if i connect via FTP and try to view the directory link, it attempts to download it like a file... Does anyone know if there's anyway around this to get this working? [03:16] how i uninstall it [03:16] megan, to get a wired connection to the router, you have to ask your landlord [03:16] niyado: system- administration -- synaptic package manger- then installed on the left-- then find the gnash there and right click choose uninstall or remove [03:16] oh ok [03:17] mrpockets: i'm legally accessing it, hes just a prick so i dont want to bug him [03:17] lol [03:17] k [03:17] anyone? [03:17] Hello [03:18] Daft_Punk: so i've got to wire it from his place to mine? thats lame, i know there's a better way [03:18] I need help installing ubuntu [03:19] megan, if his wireless router is providing you the internet and you want a WIRED connection, you must use cat5 or cat6e cabling and wire it from your own router/hub/switch to his wireless router [03:19] hello all: my internet died whilst trying to get virtualbox (winXP) networking speaking to my 8.10 host. [03:19] megan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless [03:19] I'm using a notebook and it has the CD rom broken [03:19] Anybody able to help me with a software installation? [03:19] how can I find ALL instances of a "settings.json" file in my entire filesystem ? [03:19] tritium, she said she wanted "wired" so it is more stable for her internet phone connection [03:20] details here http://paste.ubuntu.com/122161/ [03:20] trying to mount hdd known as hdd1 i try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdd1 /media/160 tthen i get ntfs-3g-mount: failed to access mountpoint /media/160: No such file or directory [03:20] Daft_Punk: yeah, looks like that's the reverse of what she wants... [03:20] I was wondering if i can make it bootable for a pen drive [03:20] Ideas? [03:20] narcarsiss : you dont have the folder called 160 do you? [03:21] nope :( === stealth-tty1 is now known as stealth- [03:21] ubuser: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [03:21] do i have to sudo mkdir 160? [03:21] when my friends put their usb in my pc, after that they say i have put few trojans for windows? how is this possible? can i be a host of windows trojans ? === stealth- is now known as stealth-tty1 [03:21] Dillizar, no [03:22] yes create it then su it === _Scolo is now known as Scolo [03:22] Daft_Punk, so the trojans cant be from my pc [03:22] Dillizar, not if you are using linux [03:22] Iceman_B^Ltop: try locate "settings.json" if that doesn't work sudo find / -name "settings.json" [03:22] Daft_Punk, but i am using wine too? [03:23] Dillizar, that would do it....wine would allow them to sneak in. [03:23] thanks mikewu [03:23] i'm trying to do "mount --bind /var/www www" but I keep getting: mount: mount point www does not exist [03:23] robbmunson, so i have windows trojans but they cant do anything right [03:23] luddite Cheers mate new there was a step i missed [03:23] robbmunson, yeah but wine is it's own virtual file system its not like you will download trojans to wine if you visit a bad website with firefox... [03:23] can anyone guide me here? [03:24] Daft_Punk, also true... [03:24] Dillizar, sticky situation....yes and no..... [03:24] Dillizar, i HIGHLY doubt a virus came from your computer... chances are they got it some other way and they chalked it up to coincidence [03:24] but if some one gives me a trojan via usb i can have it [03:24] Dillizar, no, linux doesnt have viruses [03:25] Sal__: perhaps if you mkdir /media/www then mount --bind /var/www /media/www it would make a difference. [03:25] Daft_Punk, yes it does :) [03:25] Dillizar, you can "posess" it....but not run it [03:25] lzinucs i actually just tried that [03:25] and it did mount, but when i do a ls on the directory its empty? [03:25] yet ls /var/www clearly shows files [03:25] Dillizar, honestly? ive not seen one in linux in 10 years...but that i believe is beyond the scope of this conversation. [03:25] I wonder if it's possible to treat my laptop as a gigantic memory stick if I were to use a USB cable? o.O [03:25] Dillizar, having a virus means it is currently active on the system you can still have the base of the virus on your file system but if you dont run it as SUDO which you shouldnt do to most programs ANYWAY u dont have the virus [03:25] narcarsiss : no probs mate [03:26] does cp overwrite a file if it already exists ? [03:26] Sal__: I"m not really sure what the --bind does.. so I have a hard time commenting on that.. what are you trying to accomplish with it? [03:26] can someone help me with a networking issue please [03:26] Iceman_B^Ltop: Try cp --help [03:26] robbmunson, is there any way i can remove them, by insyalling AVP with wine?? [03:26] Iceman_B^Ltop, i dont believe so, unless you have the right switch like -R (try the cp man pages) cp --help [03:26] !virus [03:26] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [03:26] dillizar: the whole reason to go to linux is to escape the spyware and trojans etc... you cant get them and they cant hurt your computer but on a rare cercumstance you can have them on your computer... but they wont do nothing try installing clam antivirus to be sure you are not giving the to your friends. [03:26] Iceman_B^Ltop: You should add an alias for cp to cp -i (interactive). [03:26] Iceman_B^Ltop yes if you are sudo cp -R FILENAME [03:26] hey all [03:27] crap, thought it was gonna give you a link other than that. [03:27] how can i run an app w/ sudo but without the password? [03:27] narcarsiss: that's *one* reason to use linux. There are many more. [03:27] Iceman_B^Ltop: shouldn't without notification unless you're using the "force" switch. [03:27] did dccm move? [03:27] but i have windows viruses and i want to get rid of them [03:27] specifically moto4lin [03:27] Dillizar: I do not believe that you do. [03:27] Dillizar, as me and robbmunson already said, you could potentially have a virus, but it would do absolutely nothing to your system, also, wine is a virtual file system, and windows viruses can not harm you at all, and the chances of you xfering that virus to a friend is literally slim to nothing [03:27] you 99% do not have a virus [03:27] Dillizar: Windows viruses are for Windows. The only con in Vista is that... it's a Vista. :) [03:28] Dillizar, use clamtk. You may need to run as sudo to update your definitions (or use freshclam). === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [03:28] Dillizar: just reboot and it will go away [03:28] k [03:28] anyone know if theres an apt-get for coolbits? [03:28] thanks dudes :) [03:28] tritium: that is a good point but that was the whole reason i moved over sereral years ago debian 3.1 if i recall [03:28] Hey has the slow write speed to external USB drives been solved? i still only write at usb 1.1 speeds.. well worse. 1.0Mb/sec. any suggestions? this is agonizing [03:28] eyvindur: try ap-cache search coolbit [03:28] Dillizar, sure [03:28] What is the eqivlent of DCCM [03:29] narcarsiss: it was not my reason, but it is a nice side benefit [03:29] anyone know how to screenshot the expo screen in compiz? [03:29] !dccm [03:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about dccm [03:29] kairijuno, you can record a video [03:29] kairijuno: push print screen [03:29] !synce-dccm [03:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about synce-dccm [03:29] kairijuno, you can do a delayed screenshot with gimp [03:29] sudo apt-get install synce-dccm synce-serial librra0-tools Is that not correct? [03:29] not sure you can hide gimp though [03:29] it didn't work with just pressing prtsc [03:29] tritium, true that, i think the main reason for linux is *free*, great support, open source, more stable out of box [03:30] Anyone able to help me with how to install neverwinter nights? [03:30] my reason was ease of use but now no internet as its broken. (im on a second pc now) [03:30] i need to remove my br0 connection - any ides how? [03:30] I wonder if it's possible to treat my laptop as a gigantic memory stick if I were to use a USB cable? And as of ssh, I'm trying to remember the word -- Display:0 something ? [03:30] Izinucs: how would i got about doing that [03:30] Daft_Punk: all good reasons. For me, it allowed to run my engineering apps off the Sun workstations in college remotely in my dorm. It was a nice convenience. [03:30] eyvindur: just like I typed it.. "apt-cache search coolbit" [03:31] lol kinja-sheep you cant you need LAN or smt like that [03:31] zelrik,...in normal desktop it work, but when in expo it wont [03:31] kairijuno, try going to the "take screenshot" application and set it for a couple seconds, then go to the screen you want. to find it press ALT+F2 and search screenshot [03:31] set the timer for like 6 seconds or something then go into expo and wait for it to pop up [03:31] Dillizar: You don't know. Do you? There are thousand of packages out there. And you're concerned about viruses. :) [03:32] Daft_Punk,..ok i'll try to find it in synaptic [03:32] kairijuno, i thought that take-screenshot application was naitive to the OS? hmm [03:33] kinja-sheep, its not that, i was laughing in their faces :D bout viruses and they said i gave some to them (well thats what they say) and thats why i feel lil bit week :P [03:33] E: Couldn't find package synce-dccm [03:33] Is it discontinued? [03:33] hehe yeah. plus the word FREE and SECURITY and STABILITY also helped the miagration [03:33] Daft_P,...yes it was there, but I have to manually set a shortcut to keyboard, I'm using Xubuntu 8.10 [03:33] DVA5912: please "apt-cache search dccm" to find out for yourself [03:33] Dillizar: Scan the file for viruses. See if that's confirmed then yes, you did wrapped a trojan horse as a gift. :) [03:34] kairijuno, the program is also under accessories in your menu "take screenshot" [03:34] kairijuno, oh ok [03:34] I can't find one with that name [03:34] tritium, well what can i use instead if it is [03:34] kinja-sheep, f*** them they should install ubuntu not me some AVP :D [03:35] kairijuno, maybe edit your main menu to see if that option is hidden by default, i think it is [03:35] let see.... [03:35] Huufarted: A little update for you. It worked. Apparently I still need to dumb down to linux-kernel-9. Is there a way to resort back to linux-kernel-11? Purging + install doesn't cut it for me. [03:35] kairijuno, it should be under accessories (not applications) sorry [03:36] !lcars [03:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about lcars [03:36] Huufarted: Otherwise, I'm fine with it, really.

The backlight brightness is controlled by a key combination--fn-up or fn-down. in bios or windows, i can control the brightness in something like 8 increments. ubuntu, otoh, skips brightness levels. it only lets me move over something like 3 brightness levels. i t [04:14] caprice, https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-mini/+bug/296430 [04:14] nickrud delly is from india.. what is the trigger [04:14] has anyone else seen this before? [04:14] lenovo laptop modell no Y500 keyboard and mous not sapot plz give me sulotion [04:14] dkulchenko, because processes need to clean up and shut down properly - with kill -9 you don't give a process that chance [04:14] I Need a tool to manipulating live linux iso ^^ [04:14] delly: drink some pepto bismol [04:14] unop: should I not use the pkill -9 option?

[04:15] broadcom is ftl [04:15] Iceman_B^Ltop, no .. try killing it normally [04:15] unop: sometimes, it's the only option if it does not respond to regular kill [04:15] diarrhea [04:15] <_VIM_> ewww [04:15] xD [04:15] diarrhea Please dont [04:15] nickrud, is it indian? [04:15] unop, He said normal kill didn't work? [04:15] Atheros [04:15] I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've bought a microphone with built-in noise cancelling, but I can either keep the mic volume down, and not be able to hear myself, or turn it up, and hear the slightest tap on the table. And no fiddling with JACK filters, mic settings, or anything seems to find a compromise. What can I do (other than get another microphone)? Maybe there's a noice cancelling program/filter for Ubuntu? [04:16] RussM, he said he used an incomplete process name - off course it wouldn't work [04:16] just got that. checking it out now [04:16] unop: when I use kill I get nothing [04:16] intel pro wireless very slow speeds. worked fine last week. anyone? [04:16] that is, nothng hhappens [04:16] unop it sure does, I just tried it.

[04:17] zelrikriando, ?? ;) [04:17] cannabis: isomaster [04:17] anyone got an ideer as to why ubuntu won't make noise on youtube and metacafe videos and such? something to do with flash? [04:17] It isn't working even though it's in use. [04:17] I'm having trouble with my mouse. when I turn my computer off for maybe 12 hours upon boot my mouse will no longer work. it's detected in xinput, but it does nothing. unplugging and replugging don't do anything either. but if i leave the computer on for a few hours the mouse will all of a sudden start working [04:17] I just tried atheros it is working fine [04:17] Iceman_B^Ltop, kill -18 27166 [04:17] Iceman_B^Ltop, then kill it normally [04:17] thx dkilchenko [04:18] * oni-kun going crazy [04:18] kill -18 seems to have done the trick [04:18] is this channel about poop? [04:18] Hakume: atheros support is in the Ubuntu Restricted Modules, which comes by default with every Ubuntu install [04:18] Hello, I'm trying to play a HD video, it's in a mkv and for some reason mplayer won't display the subtitles but VLC will. [04:18] getting this error though "wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801 [04:18] " with atheros card [04:18] what does the -18 switch do ? [04:18] but still working [04:18] how do i make a link or shortcut to /mnt on my desktop? [04:18] plz halp ma [04:18] anyone got an idea as to why ubuntu won't make noise on youtube and metacafe videos and such? something to do with flash? [04:18] I would just use VLC but it causes the video to lag due to my junky hardware. [04:18] -18 is SIGCONT [04:19] kill -18 my diarrhea [04:19] lol [04:19] Iceman_B^Ltop, kill -l #to list the various signals .. -18 is SIGCONT - used to send the 'resume' or 'continue' signal to a suspended/stopped process [04:19] Iceman_B^Ltop, kill (and pkill, etc.) send signals. Use "kill -l" to see the full set of signals. [04:19] did any of the older releases of ubuntu come with a 2.4 kernel? [04:19] mrpockets: ln -s /mnt/ /home/username/Desktop/ [04:19] I understand that. However, when I go into the network configuration, it isn't part of the list of devices. [04:19] alright [04:19] is there a package already available for Adobe AIR or is it from their site only? [04:19] thanks you 2 [04:19] Hakume: what does that command output? [04:19] my laptop key board mous not sapot [04:19] whats the difference between a symbolic link and a hard link? [04:20] so plz help me [04:20] 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [04:20] dbbolton: no, the very first, 4.10 (warty) had 2.6.8 [04:20] ywhat is the prob hakume? [04:20] crdlb thanks [04:20] That seemed to fix it. thank you!!!:) [04:21] mrpockets, man ln [04:21] mankash: Wireless device not working. [04:21] mrpockets, a hardlink is just another filename for a file .. think of a room as a file and doors as filename, a room can have many doors .. a symlink is a pointer to a filename, like a signpost to a location (if you will) [04:21] mrpockets: in short, you can make a hard link and delete the original filename and the file will still exist, do the same with a symlink and you'll just have a dead link [04:21] my wireless works but is dog slow. worked last week :( [04:22] ah [04:22] mrpockets: a symbolic link is like a shortcut to a file. if you delete it the file remains. a hard link is like having the file in multiple locations on a drive, but the data is only in one place, so if you delete any of them, all of them go away [04:22] likewise, if i delete a hard link, can i delete the file which it links to? [04:22] got it [04:22] hakime: have you checked system->Administartion->network [04:22] hakume: have you checked system->Administartion->network [04:22] nutty concept [04:22] Hakume: ok, have you installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid ? [04:22] dkulchenko, that's incorrect .. if you delete a hardlink .. all the others remain [04:23] unop: then i'm confused [04:23] lol I just realisez i have no swap disk :P [04:23] dkulchenko, indeed. touch foo; ln foo bar; rm bar; ls -ld foo [04:23] mankash: Yes. crdlb: Linux backports? No I haven't. Would that be a cause of this problem? [04:23] Hakume: yeah, you need that package to make that particular chipset work [04:24] okay [04:24] sleeptime [04:24] hakume: what iwconfig shows [04:24] mrpockets, if you delete a hardlink .. you only remove the filename .. not the file itself [04:24] Hakume: once you've installed it, go to the hardware drivers manager: disable the current entry and enable 'support for 5xxx atheros' [04:24] unop: oh... crdlb's explanation got it [04:24] mrpockets, all files have one hardlink - the original filename [04:25] can you replace the file name if deleted? [04:25] does anyone know how to get flash to work correctly with firefox? i use a 64 bit system, but i upgraded to a 64-bit flash player and youtube is still being dumb. any ideas? [04:25] mrpockets, important concept. You can't make a hard link between two different filesystems. A hard link is really just another directory entry that points to the same disk information. A soft (symbolic) link is really just the path to the original file. [04:25] Okay then. Cool. [04:25] mrpockets: you can see the number of hardlinks to a file via 'ls -ld' (or ls -l on the parent directory) [04:25] mrpockets, to delete a file -- you must delete all hardlinks that refer to it [04:25] This may be the solution I've been trying to find for quite some time. [04:25] I see [04:25] crdlb: what is linux-backports-modules-intrepid? [04:26] unop, is this similar to the concept that once a file is deleted, is still exists until overwritten? [04:26] mrpockets: if you need even more detail, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link [04:26] mankash: it contains the ath5k kernel module for atheros wifi [04:26] mankash: which is better than the madwifi (ath_pci) that intrepid ships [04:27] mrpockets, no .. that there has to do with the physical characteristics of the media. hardlinks work at the filesystem level. [04:27] i see [04:27] so file exists with one or more hard links. [04:27] crdlb: you mean it is another driver for atheros card [04:27] mrpockets, you can overwrite a file .. but then all hardlinks point to the new file contents [04:27] I'm having trouble with my mouse. when I turn my computer off for maybe 12 hours upon boot my mouse will no longer work. it's detected in xinput, but it does nothing. unplugging and replugging don't do anything either. but if i leave the computer on for a few hours the mouse will all of a sudden start working [04:27] mrpockets, exactly [04:28] ok brb [04:28] when all hard links are deleted, then the file only exists in the physical existance? [04:28] mankash: yes, another driver; it will replace madwifi eventually [04:28] mrpockets, well, yes, but as far as the filesystem is concerned .. that file doesn't exist [04:28] right [04:28] any idea why my Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG is so w? [04:29] slow [04:29] crdlb: I am also using some drive for my atheros card. How to find which one I am using? [04:29] howdy, i have a www-data user and an apache user, does apache actually use the www-data user? if so when, and if not then what does www-data do? [04:29] mankash: lsmod | grep ath [04:29] you guys're cool [04:29] you're the *cool* linux guys [04:29] mankash: ath_pci is madwifi, ath5k is ath5k (obviously :>) [04:29] no offense but this works one day doesnt another is why i always end up back with Debian :) [04:30] adante yes.. www-data is the group that apache uses .. [04:30] adante, www-data is the user that the apache process runs as (by default) [04:30] I have ath_pci, ath_hal [04:30] philing, what makes debian appeal more than Ubuntu? === bonzo is now known as Guest31274 [04:30] adante, don't know where you got the apache user from -- but that's a non-standard debian/ubuntu user -- maybe it's one you created? [04:30] mrpockets, it works. [04:31] Izinucs, unop: hm, my apache process runs as apache [04:31] lol [04:31] mankash: what atheros chip is it? [04:31] I have no problems with Ubuntu [04:31] unop: hummm okay :/ [04:31] AR5212 [04:31] mrpockets, i want to hang out with the cool kids (let me know if you see any) [04:31] I am trying to install some software and it warns me that I am using a different version of gcc than my kernel was built with, (I am using 4.2.4, the kernel was built with 4.2.3). How can I use the old one? [04:31] i want to make the super key not be a modifier, and then force gnome-do to open upon a single press of the super key. i believe the second part can be achieved in gconf-editor, but i am unsure how to do the first. help pls? [04:31] mrpockets, works for a short while then breaks. [04:31] though we installed it in this super basic class I'm taking, and some guy deleted 3/4 of his password file [04:31] mankash: same here, I switched to ath5k because it seems to support WPA much better [04:31] how do I make a sudo run program(s) via a shell script run nicely with a user run process? Nice doesn't seem to make the sudo give up the stick to the user land process....any ideas? [04:31] i luled at hiom [04:31] hmm i have see a tool to manipulate live iso but i cant find any more [04:31] adante, well, then you (or something else) has changed the default behaviour under debian/ubuntu -- there's nothing wrong with that tho [04:31] is not isomaster [04:32] Anacranom, the guys in #linux over at EfNet seem to think they're pretty friggen cool [04:32] Guest31274, have sudo run nice and so on .. [04:32] anyway, maybe i should run this wireless through some more testing so weird [04:32] benspaulding, export GCC="4.2.3" , or look into update-alternatives --config cc [04:32] mrpockets: you can always try ##linux here on freenode [04:32] benspaulding, erm, export CC="..." [04:32] mankash: not to mention it's completely open source unlike madwifi (ath_hal is closed source) [04:32] Guest31274, sudo nice -n 10 command [04:32] Izinucs, I'm in it. Pretty kick'en guys there too. [04:32] unop: righteo, cheers! [04:32] nickrud: Cool. Thank you very much.

Apreciate it [04:42] mankash: yes, if you're using intrepid [04:42] I want to try that [04:42] the how to chnage the driver [04:42] 'lsmod | grep ath' shows no output.

[04:49] no output. [04:49] hakume there is no prefrence in Xubuntu :S anyone knows how to change screen resolution in xubuntu? [04:50] I do, but I'm in Ubuntu atm, not xUbuntu.. [04:50] Hakume: now check iwconfig and the network manager applet [04:50] whaboo: have you tried #xubuntu ? [04:50] #ubuntu-br [04:50] yes no one is answering my question :S [04:51] whaboo, what's your question? [04:51] swap should be about 2xRAM... correct? [04:51] tommasa, yes [04:51] thanks [04:52] uh [04:52] with less ram wouldn't you want more swap? [04:52] tommasa: To a point. You'll never need more than about 2GB swap (unless you plan on hibernating, and then you need 1x RAM) [04:52] hi guys i can not seem to play a rented DVD can someone help please [04:52] tsrk, well sometimes that'strue [04:52] whaboo: try Display Settings [04:52] tsrk, too much swap, and you get excessive swappiness ;) [04:52] should be in the xfce settings manager [04:52] crdlb: how to change the driver to interprid? [04:52] tsrk, if you don't have enough disk space swap won't help [04:52] It works! [04:53] booksbuggy, but usually ram runs out before disk :P [04:53] I thought that paging inefficiency was why you shouldn't go past 2x ram... [04:53] whats the escape key for a full screen TS client session? [04:54] tsrk, swap space can't be substituted completely with swap because they load slower and may damage i think [04:54] tsrk, i am running this system off 256 rams :P [04:54] hakume: it means ath5k module was not loaded before automatically. [04:54] Thank you so very much for your assistance. [04:54] mankash: just switch to the other choice in hardware drivers [04:54] mrpockets, have you tried ctrl+alt+d ? [04:54] you want the one that says '5xxx' [04:54] I see. [04:54] d [04:54] or delete? [04:54] booksbuggy, "swap space can't be substituted completely with swap because they load slower and may damage i think" <-- What? [04:54] i didn't quite understand that :P [04:55] =P === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl [04:55] can someone help with playing rented DVD's please [04:55] Well, that's all I was going to ask, so goodbye. [04:55] tsrk, normal harddisk is not meant to be used completely for swap [04:55] tsrk, i tried before [04:55] Hakume: I don't know why it didn't load on boot, but if it fails on your next rebot too, you can use /etc/modules to load ath5k [04:56] shoudln't be necessary though [04:56] Transmission DHT? [04:56] booksbuggy, what do you mean completely? [04:56] tsrk, I attempted to make about 2 gb of swap before in windows [04:56] tsrk, it didn't work and i had to reinstall the system [04:56] what will happen if i alway using hibernating ??? and not using shutdown ? [04:56] my harddrive is 500gb [04:57] booksbuggy, but that was windows [04:57] syadow, normally nothing will happen [04:57] transmission dht ? [04:57] i have 6gb of swap on one machine and it works fine === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:57] tsrk, well i have been busy with school work so i didn't try ubuntu out yet [04:57] booksbuggy, oh, i assumed that's what you were talking about considering the channel name :P [04:58] syadow, but your swap space will get filled up [04:58] btw, the 6gb it assigned using guided partitioning, i didn't choose that much [04:58] tsrk, i haven't used too many of windows lately [04:58] tsrk, nearly all the time i am on ubuntu [04:58] Hi, if I need a printer driver (CUPS BJC8200), is there an easy way (i.e. synaptic) I can get it? [04:58] booksbuggy, oh [04:58] chu_, go to system printing [04:58] crdlb: I am getting this error: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules-intrepid [04:59] df reports that /dev/sda1 (ext3 partition) is 100% full but it can't possibly be as i'm using a fraction of the space. even when deleting files, it doesn't report any free space. booting from a live cd and running fsck /dev/sda1 didn't help either nor shutdown -rF now. i'm at a total loss on how to proceed. [04:59] chu_, do add printer and select your printer version [04:59] chu_, then select the driver you want [04:59] It doesn't have my printer (actually, it has models either side of mine (Canon i550)) [05:00] chu_, hmmm [05:00] The CUPS BJC8200 driver works with mine, just wondering if there' an easier way to get it, I don't want to download it and have to dick around. [05:01] im having problems with Ubuntu...sometimes I´m using my computer and when I click the minimize button on my firefox it goes to a black screen with words [05:01] chu_: family-friendly language, please [05:01] so ubuntu didn't auto configure the printer? [05:01] dont know whats the problem [05:01] any help [05:01] ?

[05:01] Well, it configured the printer, but it won't print (I used the Canon i450 driver first), it just hangs saying "Contacting service" [05:01] help with playing a retail DVD please [05:01] mankash: are you sure you're on intrepid (8.10)? [05:02] ubuntu810: medibuntu [05:02] It is a network printer, which could add problems? [05:02] ubuntu810 did u install restricted? [05:02] chu_, well maybe the firewall is blocking it [05:02] chu_: you could try getting a ppd from openprinting.org [05:02] hi, ubuntu for a ps3 please... not in a microwave... can i just download any release; what do you recommend??? [05:03] chu_, I had that problem before with another program [05:03] crdlb: I am on 8.04 [05:03] i did what this website said to do : [05:03] easy to install too.. i googled and found one with kboot... what that? [05:03] http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-play-dvd-under-ubuntu-linux [05:03] Well, I can print from a 32bit Vista machine here, (I can't configure the printer for 64bit vista though) so I am guessing it all works, and the mis-config is here, I figured maybe download an appropriate driver for the i550 might be the fix... [05:03] mankash: that would be why then :) [05:04] can I upgrade to 8.1 [05:04] chu_, were you able to select the driver you wanted in printing? [05:04] mankash: if you want to, yes; it's not a long-term support release like 8.04 is though [05:04] chu_, because the auto configuration for my printer didn't support cups before so i had to install a second printer driver [05:04] !upgrade | mankash [05:04] mankash: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [05:04] MiMiSoSo: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.10/release/ Theres a PS3 version there [05:05] chu_, well one for clear print and the other is for grayscale [05:05] has anyone done an upgrade to intrepid via the upgrade button and not from the cd? [05:05] GoodFella_, I think most people did [05:05] GoodFella_, I didn't [05:05] how can I remove some software I accidently installed? [05:05] Basically, I think that's what I need to do, just wondering if there are any Synaptic package that do this? I don't really like messing around with stuff I *could* (and most probably will) break. [05:05] thanks Flannel... is this the one with kboot... which i can just install after partitioning the disk [05:05] ?? [05:06] im just checking...dont want to try it and then make my computer crash or something like that [05:06] or lose my files [05:06] MiMiSoSo: I'm not sure. Just boot that CD, and I believe it'll do the partitioning during the install. [05:06] chu_, well you should start with going through the drivers listed in the printer find part first [05:06] Niphyr, I am trying to install gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym [05:06] chu_, that's what i did and why i suggested it [05:06] Where is this driver find?

[05:07] I cannot find a dev package in the gui application manager [05:07] booksbuggy: ok [05:07] :) [05:07] I have a list of files in a .txt file, is it possible to automatically delete every row that ends in a certain extension? I want the same result as when doing "ls -i *.srt" (If that's how you did the ignore thing :) ) since apparently it's not possible to ignore stuff like that when doing "nlist . list.txt" in ftp. [05:08] chu_, well system ->administration->printing [05:08] plsd, Are you looking for something like "grep -v pattern"? [05:08] Ok, booksbuggy, there is a printer listed, but the only reason it is listed is because I set it up, and that isn't working? :p [05:08] how to get samba info from term [05:08] chu_, do add printer [05:09] I accidently "made" an old version of a binary, how do I find it and remove it? [05:09] Hello, I can't seem to install gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym which I kind of need to get feedback on another error [05:09] RussM, not sure, never used grep. I just want to remove all files from that list that end in .srt and preferably not leave a blank row behind. [05:09] plsd, If the extension is .srt, try "grep -v '\.srt$' myfile.txt" [05:10] chu_, well server-> new-> printer to be exact [05:10] i just did everthing this said to do as well : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [05:10] is there a way to run .dmg fiels on ubuntu somehow or whith some simulator? [05:11] files* [05:12] i installed libdvdcss2 [05:12] Sick, it's not detecting my network! Oh well, cheers anyway. [05:12] and i installed libdvdread3 package [05:13] RussM, yeah that gave me a list in terminal but when I added > mylist.txt to the end of the command the txt file ended up empty. I want the entries gone from the text file, not just see the list as it should be in terminal.

(like easytag) how can i solve this... please help!? [06:21] is there an offline street map program for ubuntu? [06:21] Hey everyone. so I am currently running Fedora 10 besides Windows 7 and want to fully replace Fedora 10 w/ Ubuntu 8.10. When I load the installer disk I choose the manual install because I don't want to install on the whole drive. When it goes to partition manager I am given a few options. I am given a block that is a few MB which is my recovery partiotion for my laptop. I am given a NTFS formatted partition which I belie [06:21] Flannel thanks, you're the man page [06:22] pureRadiance: You got cut off at "which I belie" [06:22] which I believe is Windows and then I am given a large block which I am almost positive is Fedora but its formatting is Unknown. When I click next I have to determine what formatting I need. What do I choose? ext2 , ext3, NTFS? [06:22] pureRadiance: you want ext3 [06:22] ext3 [06:23] Alright. and i am also given the option of where would i like to mount the drive. Do I leave that blank, do I use a forward slash? [06:23] roadrock: thanks [06:23] pureRadiance: / is your main partition (that's the root of your filesystem) [06:23] what is Button1 ??? [06:23] upgrdman: welcome [06:23] Uplink: Windows key [06:23] juniecho: and the button1? [06:23] alright. sounds good. if it does successful, ill be on IRC in about 20 minutes! [06:24] Uplink: probably left mouse button, if you're right-handed [06:24] hmm it seems to lock [06:25] is theyre a command that can reset my desktop?? [06:25] i press Super+Right mouse button and my hole PC locks [06:25] what is super? [06:26] Uplink: what are you trying to do? [06:26] Sw3RvE super means windows key [06:26] juniecho: zoom in and out [06:26] Uplink: probably compiz, avoid windows keys. [06:26] roadrock: yea on compiz says "Zoom In [Button1] [06:26] " [06:27] Uplink, did that super-btn1 work? [06:27] Uplink: you can change the key-binding [06:27] I'm having problems getting the adobeairinstaller.bin to run.. how do I run it [06:27] Uplink: did super-button1 zoom in the screen? [06:27] juniecho: nope... [06:28] whats Button5? [06:28] how can i reset GNOME???????? [06:28] gaintsura: chmod +x filename.bin then ./filename.bin [06:28] thanks [06:28] Brad450 try ctrl-alt-backspace [06:28] does that restart the system?? [06:28] no [06:29] it restarts x. [06:29] Uplink could you try some other combinations... that's odd, i don't use zoom in-out but it should work... [06:29] juniecho: whats button5? [06:29] Uplink: that key combo may have a conflict, maybe [06:29] roadrock: prob... any better way to zoom? [06:29] Uplink if you're using a mouse with Back/Forward button those are button4/5 [06:30] juniecho: and button 3? [06:30] scroll click. [06:30] juniecho: ok its working now... i changed the bindings [06:30] Uplink scroll wheel click [06:30] Uplink that's good congratulations [06:30] Uplink: i don't use compiz, use setting to detup a safer key-binding [06:30] Uplink: setup [06:31] alright ty for the help juniecho and roadrock... i changed the bindings :] [06:33] Hey can anyone give me an answer to this... NTFS problem? I installed Ubuntu via WUBI, so my host partition is automatically mounted on /host. The problem is, I can copy files to that partition, but some programs, like EasyTAG, are not able to write to that NTFS partition. Anyone help? [06:34] install ntfs-4g if you haven't already [06:35] ntfs-3g* [06:35] magevideogames I already have ntfs-3g, i think it comes with ubuntu 8.10... does it not? [06:35] and ntfs-config [06:36] then open ntfs configuration tool from system tools and then check the drive you want read write access and click ok [06:36] oh thanks i'll try... i'm now installing that ntfs-config [06:37] magevideogames my ntfs partition is not listed... is it okay? [06:38] maybe because it is already mounted... [06:38] hmm alright if its the drive you are using yes its mounted [06:38] try this [06:38] magevideogames, write support for internal devices is already enabled [06:39] in a terminal type "gksu gedit /etx/fstab" [06:39] and tell me what it says [06:40] /etc/fstab [06:40] lol yeah [06:40] sorry making typos like crazy right now>.< [06:40] anyone know how to bring back the PLACES section in xubuntu?? [06:40] "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" is what i meant [06:40] i already looked into that fstab and ... this is somewhat strange. [06:40] seriousely need to stop multitasking [06:40] i fail at it lol [06:41] juniecho: wubi is evil. [06:41] what does the fstab file say next to UUID? [06:41] well, i have two partitions on my hard drive, VISTA(C:), and DATA(D:) [06:41] magevideogames, there is no UUID [06:42] currently i want to deal with 'DATA', but there is no entry for DATA in fstab, but it's mounted! how can this be? [06:42] what about next to /dev then? [06:42] it's probably not mounted by its label [06:42] for whatever reason [06:43] for me it mounted my drives my label [06:43] dunno why its not for you [06:43] well, no, it has /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk, /host/ubuntu/disks/boot, /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk, and /dev/sda1. [06:43] guys is wubi installation quite reliable? [06:43] hmm i'm guessing it's not treating the partition correctly then [06:43] and dev/sda1 is that VISTA partition (wubi is installed in DATA partition, with all my music, video files in it) [06:43] my mouse click is not working when I do a remote session to a windows comp from my ubuntu intrepid [06:43] and that i don't have much experience with unfortunately [06:44] hmm... this is really strange, should i re-mount this partition? [06:44] cooldduuudde: Yes. [06:44] like add a line like /dev/sda2.... [06:44] no no [06:44] you need to know the info about the partition [06:44] magevideogames you mean uuid? [06:45] in a terminal type "sudo fdisk -l" [06:45] and tell me what it says [06:47] well... looks like i've got to install pastebinit [06:47] either that or just pm me and send it to me that way:P [06:47] i don't mind a flood of text in pms lol [06:47] http://pastebin.com/f34cd62e7 [06:48] unless its like over 10 lines [06:48] 9 lines :) yeah [06:48] juniecho: sudo fdisk -l > textfile.txt then open file, select all and copy [06:48] ok in the fstab did it have both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 listed? [06:49] magevideogames, yes it has both partitions [06:49] hmm pastebin it to me then maybe i can understand better that way [06:49] http://pastebin.com/f34cd62e7 [06:49] it's here [06:49] see if maybe i can see what needs to be added/changed [06:49] when is the next ubuntu coming out [06:50] to3000 october i think [06:50] i meant pastebin the fstab [06:50] isent it april [06:51] 23ed [06:51] is xubuntu going to be released at the same time or later than ubuntu [06:51] i duno [06:52] i heard 9.04 xubuntu is in alpha right now [06:52] magevideogames http://pastebin.com/m4050aacd === xun is now known as Guest68487 [06:52] how do you reply to me like that? been quite some time since i last used irc other then a few moments last week lol [06:52] hello, i'm having trouble changing ownership(from root to xun) in a NTFS partition. can someone help? [06:53] magevideogames: hmm? is it something wrong? [06:53] how do i find out where a program is installed? [06:54] by [06:55] how do i find out where a program is installed? [06:55] are there any good games avlbl for linux? [06:55] what does it say next to /dev/sda2 when you type "blkid" in a terminal? [06:55] i see that its not mounting the partition [06:55] cooldduuudde, Nexuiz [06:55] so i need to know the output of the command i just said [06:55] Nytrix usr/bin [06:55] blikd? it produces nothing [06:56] cooldduuudde, try Nexuiz [06:56] bytrix ok i mean /usr/bin [06:56] oh sorry i forgot sudo... [06:56] how do you background a process via a key? Control+Z stops it [06:56] it says.................... /dev/sda2: UUID="7416028B2887992F" LABEL="DATA" TYPE="ntfs" [06:58] k add this to the fstab at the bottom "UUID=7416028B2887992 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=ko_KR.UTF-8 0 0" [06:58] then restart and see if its working for you [06:58] without quotes? [06:58] yeah [06:59] without the quotes [06:59] hello, i'm having trouble changing ownership(from root to xun) in a NTFS partition. can someone help? [06:59] one more thing: where should i place 'force'? [06:59] what do you mean? [07:00] force mount option when that ntfs is flagged dirty [07:00] guest i think you have to do chmod for that [07:00] oh [07:00] to fix that [07:00] install ntfs-progs [07:00] and run ntfsfix on /dev/sda2 [07:00] long time ago i just added 'force' to that fstab and just fixed the problem [07:00] that will check it and fix problems [07:00] then it will be allowed to mount [07:00] How the HELL do I fix rhythmbox's most annoying flaw? That being that it removes songs from its play queue as they are played, instead of leaving them there? [07:00] its bad to mount dirty filesystems [07:01] can cause major problems [07:01] oh is it bad? [07:01] all right... ntfs-progs? [07:01] yeah [07:02] shouldn't i add mount point to that fstab? [07:02] guys sometimes partitions are not mounted wen you shut down windows in improper manner [07:02] is it okay without mount point? [07:02] no i figured you'd put whatever mount point you wanted it does need a mount point so a full example would be [07:03] "UUID=7416028B2887992 /media/mydata ntfs-3g defaults,locale=ko_KR.UTF-8 0 0 [07:03] sound on intrepid has me frustrated as all getout. I installed on three computers in the house, only one that doesn't have a sound problem is the laptop. [07:03] like /media/DATA [07:03] oh yeah... [07:03] is there and easy way to disable onboard sound if you have a sound card? [07:03] whats a good GUI based ssh program for ubuntu ? [07:03] sound i don't know as i can't get 5.1 sound out of my system lol [07:04] don't deal with ssh really so i wouldn't know sorry [07:04] oh [07:04] .............to think of that i don't need to force mount :( [07:04] sound in ubuntu is real bad.... i get choppy sound at high volumes. lol [07:04] because if that ntfs is dirty ubuntu will fail to start :( [07:05] it won't fail to start [07:05] just won't load the partition [07:05] oh wait [07:05] i see what you mean [07:05] cooldduuudde, i have sound problems in ubuntu as well [07:05] well if the boot partition is messed up [07:05] am i in? [07:05] you have to tell it to check the filesystem before boot [07:05] yeah :) because ubuntu will start on that ntfs partition... [07:05] bitsbam: yeah, change device double clicking volume control choose preferences, choose souncard. you should get and run asoundconf and set default soundcard also. [07:05] 8.10 64bit with intel audio on my laptop (dell xps m1330). especially with rhythmbox... [07:06] yeah.... i even tried installing GNome ALSA mixer but to no avail logicfan [07:06] where am i? [07:06] which is done through something like touch /etc/fschk or something like that i found it online [07:06] only the boot partition matters though [07:06] land in an irc channel [07:06] if the spare one is messed up it just won't load it [07:06] cause it's not needed to boot [07:06] cooldduuudde, my sound works about 98% of the time though [07:06] lol, i'm in [07:06] but, i dont how to pinpoint the problems when they happen [07:06] guys i need some help [07:06] well... magevideogames, it doesn't work, wubi makes use of a virtual disk file on ntfs drive, so... if the partition is dirty, then it can't load the root partition :) [07:07] logicfan, yeah also the front headphone jack doesn't work [07:07] roadrock: ok, top two entries were the two sound devices, then a long list of each one in alsa, etc... now do asoundconf? [07:07] roadrock: i mean after choosing [07:07] cooldduuudde, only one of my front headphone jacks works :) [07:07] what you need to do is tell the system to check the filsystem on bootup === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [07:07] bitsbam: asoundconf-gtk package [07:07] this isn't really an ubuntu question but i've been looking around and i can't get a definite answer to this.. i have an ide ultra ata100 hard drive on my laptop, i'm having a hard time finding a replacement for it.. is it the same as PATA? does anyone know? [07:07] hmm is it possible? [07:07] before starting the load sequence to start up ubuntu [07:07] let me get the command you need to run [07:07] nellmathew1, yes, its the same [07:08] thanks a lot.. had a feeling [07:08] laughing out loud.....logicfan mic jack works headphone doesn't [07:08] "sudotouch /forcefsck" [07:08] roadrock: thanks, apting now [07:08] "sudo touch /forcefsck"* [07:08] then restart and it will check and fix the filesystem [07:08] nellmathew1, pata = parallel ATA. ultra ata100 is the same interface. the ata100 is the transfer speed of the interface [07:08] welcome back, quibbler [07:08] if it can [07:08] and will be able to boot [07:08] and mount it [07:08] magevideogames: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:09] bitsbam: goog morning [07:09] cooldduuudde, i have jacksensing drivers for my chip on windows, so i can dynamically reconfigure the ports, but not in ubuntu :( [07:09] so magevideogames, where should i do that? [07:09] Hi, I want to disable the option where when the mouse is hovered over a mp3 file, it plays. [07:09] roadrock: selected the sound card, what now? [07:09] i'm having a hard time activating proprietary driver for my graphics; i'm on mint [07:09] *good...that's how early it is [07:09] if you can't boot up ubuntu then you could easily schedule a check disk in windows [07:09] roadrock: that's it? [07:09] otherwise use a live cd [07:10] logicfan yeah i have dat thing too. the realtek software but its as if realtek guys don't know that linux exists...lol [07:10] magevideogames, can i run that command on initramfs? [07:10] sound is my only major problem in 8.10 :( otherwise, it works great on my laptop [07:10] !sound | LogicFan [07:10] LogicFan: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:10] wait, i have a memory card reader problem too ;D [07:10] looking to enable my ubuntu machine to receive log files from my linksys router running tomato firmware.... not sure where to start. It has a CIFS function, can I use this? [07:10] hmmm....logicfan if you observe closely there's also a problem in video [07:10] bitsbam: go into system - preferences - sound and set the device there too, you probably need to play with it [07:11] roadrock: ok, thanks [07:11] cooldduuudde, do you also have a xps m1330? [07:11] logicfan no i have hpm7360in desktop [07:11] bitsbam: choose alsa by the way [07:11] ok [07:11] histo, i have looked at most of those, but i will investigate more thoroughly, thanks [07:12] anyone done any sysloging stuff? [07:12] logicfan ok nice talkin 2 you....:) [07:12] well anyway i'll first restart :) wish me luck [07:12] good luck:) [07:12] Okay so I've got Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows 7 dual booting. But the grub loader looks like crap, all text based and no nice GUI. Any way to fix this or am I stuck with an icky looking loader? [07:13] Take in mind I was using Plymouth with Fedora so anything will be a step down until the next release [07:13] Nothing wrong with text. [07:13] histo, i have alsa mixer selected (HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)) [07:13] roadrock: sounds great, watching a thing on miro right now. thanks for your help [07:14] Omlette: true, however, i wouldnt mind a little eye-candy every now and then. [07:14] Does anyone have a solution as to why everytime i open FireFox the Panel on the top and Panel on the bottom dissapears? I have to hit F11 twice to get them back. [07:14] pureRadiance: I agree. However, I don't think you'll get much eye candy from the GRUB. :) [07:14] Cody_: turn off Auto-hide? [07:14] Wheres that at? [07:15] I never turned it on sorry. [07:15] Right Click Panel > Properties > Auto Hide [07:15] okay [07:15] bitsbam: glad it worked, good job, youre welcome [07:15] pureRadiance: Its not ticked. [07:15] Where are the File Management options? [07:15] Cody_, if its not auto-hide, you need to delete your localstore.rdf file (while FF is closed) [07:16] then restart FF and it'll recreate it [07:16] Omlette: you can make grub use color, its a comment in /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:16] Cody_, its available in ~/.mozilla/firefox [07:16] Wheres that stored at? [07:16] Hi, I am unable to use gdb and strace at the same time. From the strace output, i see a big chunk of memory mmap'ed. But then I am not able to figure out where in the code this is happening:( Can someone help me out? [07:16] roadroc: can I use an image in the grub and if so what type? [07:16] LogicFan: Im sorry but im new to ubuntu and do not know how to find that folder. [07:17] land what's it doing? [07:17] Cody_, sorry, i should have been more specific. first, go to your home folder [07:17] places>home folder [07:17] Yea, not your fault. Im sorry. [07:17] There. [07:17] does anyone know if remote desktop is possible between 2 difrent networks and how to do it? [07:17] and now you need to turn on hidden files/folders [07:18] Cody_, Edit>Preferences [07:18] check "show hidden and backup files" [07:18] then hit close [07:18] Okay sir. [07:18] now you'll see a bunch of folders that start with . [07:18] scroll down to mozilla [07:19] then firefox [07:19] thanks for the help guys [07:19] Yes sir. [07:19] then you need to go into your profile folder [07:19] something like ahad872.default [07:19] 20zxeyaj.default [07:19] right [07:19] Okay. [07:19] then scroll down and find localstore.rdf file [07:19] mj8741: i'm on Mint; i'm havin' a hard time activating proprietary driver for my ATI graphics [07:19] make sure firefox is completely closed first [07:20] once firefox is closed, delete the file, then restart firefox and see if the toolbars are active like normal [07:20] anyone here have experience getting sound cards to work correctly? if so pm me>.< [07:20] the localstore.rdf will be recreated cleanly upon starting up FF [07:21] land does it give an option to activate? if so make sure you have 3rd party repositories checked [07:21] Do i have to close it in another way than just hitting the X ? [07:21] no [07:21] hitting X is ok [07:21] or file>quit [07:21] Okay deleting. [07:22] mj8741, i can't find any drivers [07:22] And the restart is opening it up again correct? [07:22] yep [07:22] You're the man ;) [07:22] let me know if firefox opens properly [07:22] Thank you sir. [07:22] Cody_, good to go? [07:22] did you do a search on deb packages [07:22] Yes sir. Thank you. [07:23] or go to there website [07:23] Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help??? [07:23] Cody_, for some reason that file gets corrupted on Firefox 3.0.6, so if that happens again (or your toolbar positions aren't being remembered), repeat that same process [07:23] Okay. Thank you. Have a good day. [07:23] also, the official firefox channel is #firefox on irc.mozilla.org [07:23] you're welcome, g'day! [07:24] :) [07:28] Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help??? [07:28] does anyone know how the remote desktop works ...i possible need to open some ports in router??? [07:29] exon you do have to open ports but I don't know which ones they are, sorry [07:30] exon, generally, the ports selected are configured in the software [07:30] hello guys [07:30] although some packages have well-known default ports [07:30] I am new over here [07:30] port 5900 [07:30] hello saurabh [07:30] saurabh, me too :) [07:30] histo, sau [07:31] sauvin, hi [07:31] ? [07:31] where are u from LogicFan :) [07:31] saurabh, hi [07:31] hehe [07:31] erm? [07:31] Hi Nytrix [07:31] histo, nevermind...typo [07:31] Nytrix, where r u from?? [07:31] L.A [07:31] me from India [07:32] roadrock: err, still having some trouble [07:33] miro plays sound, but so far, nothing else does [07:33] if that matters [07:35] bitsbam: running intrepid? [07:35] yes [07:37] bitsbam: install alsamixer set everything. check system -prefs -sound play with settings. pulseaudio is a pain. [07:37] roadrock: should i remove pulseaudio? [07:37] Hi, i tried my level best to hand two isp / uplinks on linux Machine, but No Success, I am trying on Mikrotik, i called for help in mikrotik chan, but no help there, any one here to help??? [07:38] which irc client is most widely used on ubuntu? [07:38] bitsbam: i purged pulse and installed esound. [07:38] Anyone got experience with disk damage? My / partition got dinged when my laptop fell. I ran fsck from a boot DVD, and reinstalled, but I am still having errors on dmesg and when trying to update from Synaptic. [07:38] KazaLite: I like pidgin. [07:38] bitsbam: with onboard sound and a soundcard you've got to experiment [07:39] bitsbam: i'm on hardy at the moment. [07:39] i like xchat for irc. [07:39] ok [07:39] thanks [07:39] * sauvin uses kopete for the ims but xchat for irc [07:39] crism: you probably have some badblocks [07:39] bitsbam: if you're using multiple cards, install pavucontrol, then migrate the stream(s) to the intended audio device [07:39] pidgin is a good messenger client. [07:40] simplexio: I definitely do. I was hoping that fsck would mark them as bad and that the reinstall would work around them. [07:40] dtchen: good advice, bitsbam try that [07:40] !irc client [07:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about irc client [07:40] !irc [07:40] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [07:40] roadrock, dtchen looks like i have it already, ok [07:40] help! everything on my screen is a tad too small, giving me a headache [07:40] will try [07:40] how do I fix it? [07:41] crism: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html#rfile ,, command is badblocks i think. newer used [07:41] crism: im not sure does fschk fix those [07:42] simplexio: tx very much [07:42] palomer, is it your screen resolution? [07:43] system>preferences>screen resolution [07:44] palomer: which distro are you using? I had problems with Feisty on a cinema display that went away by themselves with Intrepid. [07:44] (Though my text was too large rather than too small.) [07:44] these dialogs for sound are locking up. [07:44] when I run date, it shows correct date but with CET, I want it to be PKT, how to do that? [07:46] ok, in my install, i got pulse-audio device control, pulse audio device control, this pavucontrol thing, etc.. lots of packages to get sound going, am i kind of an exceptino here? [07:46] oh, and, of course the gnome volume control [07:47] bitsbam: the clutter is known; yes, it's confusing as heck for everyone [07:47] bitsbam: hopefully, it will be sorted and stable for 9.10 [07:48] dtchen: yeah, it's cool [07:48] dtchen: would it be advisable to ditch pulse and just run alsa? [07:49] could anyone here help fix a problem i have with my system not starting up with my second sata drive attached. if i connect it after booting up i can mount and use it fine...fsck throws up no errors [07:49] bitsbam: that's really your prerogative. we're working hard to get these issues resolved. [07:49] dtchen: are you part of ubuntu development? [07:51] Shaun: have you insured the system bios sees the second drive? [07:51] bitsbam: yes [07:51] bios sees it fine [07:51] iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 --destination 127.0.0.2 -j REDIRECT --to-port 4602 ... then iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4602 -j ACCEPT , then did iptables-save / /etc/init.d/iptables save I have an alias in my /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.2 data.localhost the problem is, when I go to data.localhost, it's not honoring the portforwarding rule, it's still going to port 80 [07:51] Shaun: hrm [07:51] any clue anyone ? [07:51] it was working fine with an older kernel, after a delay, but since installing bootchart it wont with either [07:51] dtchen: well thanks, it's an honor. You guys are doing a smash up job here with this distro. really, in all greatfulness, thanks [07:51] Shaun: boot order ... sata comes first one if you add it before boot [07:52] Do you know? What linux Cant do that Windows Can do, One of them is Handling double isp / uplinks, Windows can handle but now linux http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/routing-for-multiple-uplinks-providers-703789/ [07:52] really, to all of you developers [07:52] after the system detects my card readers it then hangs for several minutes before spamming my screen with lines referencing sdb (the second sata) [07:53] like this: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0/block/sdb (10536) [07:53] loads of those, with differing end numbers [07:53] Shaun: check your /etc/fstab wubi install? [07:54] bitsbam: the "honor" is really everyone's. [07:54] /dev/Storage/Files /mnt/store ext4 defaults 0 0 [07:55] Shaun: read your dmesg in a terminal, see why its confused [07:55] how can i get to a terminal at that point? [07:56] iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 --destination 127.0.0.2 -j REDIRECT --to-port 4602 ... then iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4602 -j ACCEPT , then did iptables-save / /etc/init.d/iptables save I have an alias in my /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.2 data.localhost the problem is, when I go to data.localhost, it's not honoring the portforwarding rule, it's still going to port 80 [07:56] hi, how to play realplayer files? [07:56] anyone? [07:56] Shaun: terminal is in your apps menu somwhere [07:56] O__o: install realplayer [07:57] realplayer has spyware in windows, and i dont trust realplayer [07:57] will it still be in dmesg, as i'd have to attach the drive, wait for it to hang, detach, boot again, and then dmesg... [07:57] O__o: windows realplayer is evil, its fine uder 'nix [07:57] i get mplayer working in my desktop here and i forgot how i installed that so i can play rm [07:58] is it w32codecs? [07:58] trying to download on amule but it tells me i have a low id and firewalled with buddy buy i can not fine any firewall called on my system help [07:58] O__o: dont think so. [07:58] simplexio: badblocks is also called via fsck -c. [07:58] when it was working on the old kernel previously, dmesg showed nothing out of the ordinary...and i cant see anything in any logs referencing the above messages i see spamming the screen during bootup [07:58] But I hadn’t actually run that yet… [07:58] i have mplayer plays rm fine in desktop and i want to do the same with my kaptop [07:58] laptop [07:59] hello :o) can you help me installing my x-years old eizo CRT-monitor in ubuntu v8.10? i want a bit more screenresolution than 640x480 :o( [07:59] crism: .. thanks. didnt know that [07:59] you = someone [07:59] can't use my scanner "benq 4300U" with xsane or kooka...how to configure my scanner with sane ...i have windows drivers with me.. [07:59] anyone? [08:00] roadrock, is realplayer uninstallable in linux? [08:00] because realplayer is hard to uninstalled in windows [08:00] funnyly, after i installed my videodrivers for nvidia, the resolution droppped from 800 x 600. now im stuck with 640 x 480 [08:00] roadrock, dont wanna screw up and reinstall everything [08:00] and i can tell you, thats BIG on a 21" CRT ;o9 [08:01] Scuanor: cant you set resolution via $nvidia-settings? [08:01] Looks like badblocks is going to take a long time… Good night everybody! [08:01] can't use my scanner "benq 4300U" with xsane or kooka...how to configure my scanner with sane ...i have windows drivers with me.. [08:01] I NEED #UBUNTU HELP -- What are some restricted drivers that are available for Linux, but aren't included in the default LiveCD?? ... excluding NVidia, ATI, & Broadcom, however. [08:01] credo: hm, consider me newbieish to ubuntu and linux. i do not know, wehre i would find that file $nvidia-settings [08:01] anyone having experience of using gadu-gadu? [08:02] Does jockey handle Atheros firmware? [08:02] O__o: install it in /opt real easy [08:02] open up console (terminal) and type that [08:02] grndslm, scream louder... [08:02] roadrock: just plugged in the drive now, and get this in dmesg http://www.pastebin.ca/1345644 [08:02] credo: okies [08:02] O__o: d/l it from real.com [08:02] Scuanor: sometimes it's necessary [08:02] ya gotta get it out [08:02] you may need to add sudo before that, maybe. maybe not [08:02] <^paradox^> my dell inspiron 531s is a rent a center computer and didnt come with much paperwork. im new to dvd burning. how can i tell if the dvd burner will burn dvd -r +r and what's the differenc between -r and +r? [08:02] dont trust real.com [08:02] credo °nods° [08:03] i want to play it in mplayer [08:04] ^paradox^: there isnt really user difference between +r and -r. i have checked by burns and it resulted that my burner liked +r more [08:04] trying to download on amule but it tells me i have a low id and firewalled with buddy buy i can not fine any firewall called buddy on my system help [08:04] ^paradox^: cant tell until you test your burns. but there shouldnt be difference. [08:04] grndslm: there's no firmware needed for atheros, but jockey does handle the driver [08:04] <^paradox^> credo: what do you mean it liked +r better? [08:05] crdlb: so atheros does need some restricted software to work properly? [08:05] grndslm: not necessarily [08:05] ^paradox^: there is soft cdspeed2000.com (windows) that can test your burns [08:06] any ideas? anyone === yaro is now known as yaroman86 [08:06] O__o: http://uk.real.com/player/select/ get linux bin file, chmod +x it then ./realplayergold.bin and follow prompts install in /opt/ piece of cake === yaroman86 is now known as yaroman [08:06] ^paradox^: by burns were better with +r. but i believe its buggy burner. there shouldnt be any difference [08:06] grndslm: there are two drivers available, madwifi (ath_pci), and ath5k; the former has a binary-only HAL (ath_hal) [08:06] <^paradox^> ah ok [08:07] crdlb: reason i'm asking is because i'm trying to use remastersys to create a LiveDVD that has effective tools for various desktops/laptops... things like ntfs-3g, ntfs-config, b43-fwcutter & firmware, etc. [08:07] ^paradox^: look here for difference: http://www.build-your-own-computer-tips.com/dvd-drive-differences.html [08:07] credo: i can acess that program, but cant set a different CRT in the settings there. i DO know, that that CRT can handle 1280x1024. maybe if i edit that configfile directrly? [08:07] <^paradox^> correct me if wrong ok [08:07] grndslm: on intrepid, you can install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, and a new choice will become available in jockey for the fully open source driver (which happens to support more hardware) [08:07] crdlb: i'm definitely looking for all restricted networking stuff for sure... and unfortunately, i can't use intrepid as it's too buggy with intel graphics [08:07] among other things === qedx1 is now known as qedx [08:08] <^paradox^> but a dvd can also be used for audio and data, like a much larger version of cd? [08:08] hardy only has madwifi afaik [08:08] Scuanor: try nvidia-xconfig and restart Xorg [08:08] i need to know if any one uses amule and if they ban tell me to get out of low id [08:08] what do I do ifI forgot my user password to this chat server? [08:08] credo: will do [08:08] Scuanor: precede it with sudo [08:08] crdlb: why would you install intrepid backports to intrepid? [08:09] yaroman: freenode will email it to you. [08:09] Scuanor: if not you will have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file manually [08:09] roadrock1: And how do I ask for it? === yaroman is now known as yaroman86 [08:09] grndslm: it's backports for intrepid, not from intrepid [08:09] yaroman: the website [08:09] grndslm: it's in intrepid's release notes if you want to double-check :) [08:10] ahh... i've never enabled backports actually, as i'm far too cautious. [08:10] yaroman: http://freenode.net/ [08:10] can't use my scanner "benq 4300U" with xsane or kooka...how to configure my scanner with sane ...i have windows drivers with me.. [08:10] <^paradox^> i mean cause 4 gigs would certainly help clear some space from my computer [08:10] crdlb: ya mind explaining this: "there are two drivers available, madwifi (ath_pci), and ath5k; the former has a binary-only HAL (ath_hal)" [08:10] roadrock, dont want realplayer [08:10] grndslm: it's not the same thing as intrepid-backports; it's even included on the CD [08:10] weird [08:10] credo: i preceded it with sudo, making the command look as "sudo nvidia-xconfig" but ntohing happens, no feedback whatsoever [08:10] O__o: ok [08:11] crdlb:what is ath5k? [08:11] Scuanor: yes. you must restart X. i believe it writes the settings it recognizes [08:11] roadrock, how do i add the extra package source? [08:11] grndslm, ath5k are linux wifi drivers [08:11] grndslm: madwifi is the old driver, which has a closed-source Hardware Access Layer (Atheros claimed this is because the device can exceed FCC restrictions, which would make it illegal in the US) [08:11] is it mediubuntu something like that? [08:12] credo: im not sure i understand, i must restart ubuntu before giving the sudo xconfig command? [08:12] grndslm: ath5k is a driver which uses the linux wifi stack like other drivers and has a reverse-engineered replacement for what the HAL does [08:12] so it can be included in the kernel now [08:12] O__o: but you dont want it [08:12] Scuanor: you must exit the windowed mode and start it anew before it takes effect [08:12] credo: okay. [08:13] crdlb: interesting... doesn't work with 2.6.24? [08:13] Scuanor: no need to restart... [08:13] crdlb: is recompiling possible? it almost seems like that might be worth it for what I'm trying to do [08:13] grndslm: probably not, madwifi is probably the only real choice for hardy [08:13] credo CTRL+ALT+DEL worked :o) [08:13] tsup [08:13] credo: sorry, i meant not del but backspace [08:13] Scuanor: examine your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:14] wait [08:14] whats going on here? [08:14] * Scuanor pulls hotleg ;oP [08:14] Scuanor: yes but i believe ubuntu has graphic login manager running still... not sure if you must exit that TOO or not [08:14] args [08:14] hey guys [08:15] hotleg: hi [08:15] anybody knows some software for xubuntu like dvdshrink?

Haven't found much info. Or at least info that I understand in the least. But I'll try sudo fdisk -l [09:16] WeepingUser, I wasnt looking at this window until now..

[10:25] btw when i choose gdm in default-login-manager it doesnt work [10:25] sup shade [10:25] hows life [10:26] TheK_: pretty much, linux uses memory as disk cache to speed stuff up [10:26] hence I should only worry if my userspace apps are grabbing alot of memory or if my swap is working like crazy [10:26] TheK_: i always look at what is being used in the process list below [10:27] TheK_: you can edit a file to reduce swappiness which will make the system reduce cache instead of using swap when it gets busy [10:27] ActionParsnip: Ok..

I was concerned at a problem when running mythtv which is causing 'hickups' to the display.. and I kind of got lost in my train of thought :) [10:29] i like bloat [10:29] :P [10:29] shadeslayer: you can have a tonne of DE guff on your system and it will all run [10:30] ActionParsnip, shadeslayer: thanks.

Grainy/like when you turn a speaker up too loud. When I disabled the IEC958 switch and enabled the IEC958 Default PCM switch the issue resolved itself and my sound became clear. Recently, it has reverted to distortion and no combination of the two switches will fix the problem. Sound is something I know nothing [11:33] narcarsiss: you can copy / paste to terminal [11:33] ziroday: will that try to capture the whole screen?

[11:52] coz_: ah no, not permanently ... if you are set to not using pulseaudio i guess you can remove it from your system all together [11:53] glitsj16, ok I will remove it then [11:53] coz_, I would guess something like sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [11:53] glitsj16, except some of the pacakges for pulseaudio also want to remove mplayer orca and a bunch of other stufff [11:55] hi guys, it would be nice if somebody could help me with my problem with 2 instances of gnome-panel (on different x-servers in a dual-head environment), whenever i try starting an application from the second instance of gnome-panel both instances freeze and i get an empty error-message window. only way to get the system back to work properly is a x-server restart [11:55] coz_: either use the command line to remove packages or use synaptic (gui) ... not wanting to doubt your reasons for removing pulseaudio, but if you find it hard to setup properly, take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [11:55] where is the xp help channal [11:55] ciao [11:56] DesFire: ##windows [11:56] ty [11:56] glitsj16, no I have a pro sound card that requires a compiled alsa driver and pulsaudio is useless for me [11:56] coz_: i see, no problem :) [11:56] when I plug one of my usb devices in, it says "usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" in syslog. is there a way to see what these choices really are? maybe I can try another driver... or at least a debug driver?

Please help [12:51] georgeaf: user windowmaker as WM [12:51] hej ho, does anyone know, how to tell some screenlets not to run at startup? [12:52] Silicium: that isn't helping [12:52] g16: that package pulls all the fonts from the net, do you have all the packages on CD?? [12:52] marlene1984: its in the screenlets control / manager [12:52] the mscorefonts are downloaded from the MS server and installed with a custom ubuntu script [12:52] so you need to fetch de deb package and check the script for the download path [12:53] i think [12:53] somebody here who could help me fix my problem with freezing gnome-panels when starting an application from the panel on second x-screen? [12:53] Hmm no silicium resolution isn't in /etc/X11/ either... [12:53] ezerhoden:i have the Ubuntu CD (8.10) and the extras? where is the packages? [12:53] godowner: i know, ubuntu doent handle that like it should be [12:53] i am very new in linux [12:53] g16: they will not be on the cd [12:53] g16: in the internet [12:53] d-b-windowz: thanks, but there i find just the normal entry of the calender, but it starts it double at startup! and i just wanted to run one of the calenders at startup.. but there are not 2 entries for that [12:54] apt-get --download install mscorefontsblah [12:54] then you have the fooocorefonts.deb package [12:54] that one you can open with the Ark archive manager [12:54] Silicium: what's windowmaker ? [12:54] hi, is there any german samba # [12:55] cw /list samba ? [12:55] georgeaf: georDescription: NeXTSTEP-like window manager for X [12:55] i see. Is it correct that we can use the windows font in ubuntu by copying the /Windows/Fonts/*.TTF then pasted in home folder under the .fonts folder? [12:55] g16: but the general idea is that if you get all the packages i think you can put them in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and then apt-get install msttcorefonts [12:55] Silicium: any other solution ? something like a way for getting all fbconfigs and visuals as before with the old X ? [12:55] georgeaf: yes [12:55] err [12:55] g16: yes [12:56] g16 just copy you windows fonts to /home//.fonts/ [12:56] maybe you need to create .fonts first [12:56] (its a hidden .file directory) [12:56] so if i do that then my msttcorefonts is complete? [12:56] Silicium: again not really helping... [12:56] Hi guys! Does anyone here have some experience with VirtualBox? [12:56] you don't need microsoft fonts for _most_ things [12:56] g16: if you copy the right fonts into it, yes [12:56] blueskynis: some but not much, why ? [12:57] i copy all fonts under /windows/fonts [12:57] I have a question about it's performance...do you know that kind of stuff? [12:57] ok [12:57] Windowmaker is a Replacement for Gnome [12:57] is not a Desktop Environment, is just a Window Manager [12:57] blueskynis: just ask, don't ask to ask [12:57] lightweight [12:57] blueskynis: maybe [12:57] fast [12:57] but virtualbox is fast. [12:57] OK, here it goes... I want to upgrade my CPU and I have a question regarding VirtualBox's performance with different CPUs? Like, is it better to get an AMD X2 with VT instruction set or a faster Pentium like E2200 or E5200?? [12:57] When installing Ubuntu, does having your ethernet cable plugged in make a difference when you're installing? It refers to something like, "couldn't find a connection, retry, ignore, etc..". Does it affect anything after in regards to when the installation is finished? [12:57] virtualbox sucks [12:57] thanks [12:58] just use kvm [12:58] Jo reggelt elvtarsak [12:58] with kvm kernel modules [12:58] you want hardware virtualisation if you want to use kvm. [12:58] what is the support (if any) channel for ubuntu 9.04 ? [12:58] but .. virtualbox is fine on either really. [12:58] ubuntu+1 [12:58] blueskynis: afaik the virtualizing instruction sets on both processors are equally good [12:58] ty [12:58] hi [12:59] but Pentium E2200 and E5200 series do not have VT instructions :-/ [12:59] again i can't access my USB devices from Windows Guest in VirtualBox. How? [12:59] i have a problem that ubuntu will not see my usb memory stick [12:59] blueskynis: doesn't matter for vbox as much. [12:59] blueskynis: are you sure they don't have intel's own instructions? [12:59] it sees others just not this one [12:59] argh [12:59] bye need to work again [12:59] mulch: lsusb ? [12:59] and dmesg ... show any thing useful ? [12:59] they have it only on Core2Duo's like E64xx, E8400 or higher [13:00] blueskynis: now come to think of what cpu's you were asking, don't buy neither [13:00] blueskynis: try get something with hardware virtualisation. [13:00] d-b-windowz: i'll give it ago [13:00] so, it looks like VT does not give huge speed bumps? [13:00] man i can never get nx working >_< [13:01] blueskynis: afaik vt-instructions have made virtualbox faster, perhaps you could inquire this on their mailinglist or somewhere [13:01] blueskynis: not really..... virtualbox didn't even suggest it til later / said it wasn't that useful to them [13:01] if i remember correctly [13:01] blueskynis: or read up on those instructions, look at the source of virtualbox, how are those instructions used [13:02] OK, I will keep digging about it but the info about performance in VirtualBox is scarce... [13:02] blueskynis: but all cpu's you listed are very outdated already, why not buy something that has some speed value at least for a week [13:02] http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ [13:02] money? [13:02] :-/ [13:03] heck, I am only a student ;) [13:03] blueskynis: use all your money to buy crap that will be outdated when you buy it or save up until you can buy something decent with good performance/buck ratio [13:03] blueskynis: and cpus are cheap [13:03] buy 2 [13:03] blueskynis: i'm also a student, though i work about 50hrs per week :) [13:04] reisi: eeep how ? [13:04] I need libopenal0a to install a game, but it doesn't install via get-apt. [13:04] d-b-windowz: well.. as i've always been working since like 6 years old always getting my own money working hard is not a problem [13:05] d-b-windowz: but nowdays everything is much easier.. it's easier to code 50hrs on week than to work at a warehouse 50-80hrs per week [13:05] well, money is the problem in my country...nevermind, thanks for the help [13:05] Does Ubuntu support distupgrade? [13:06] cheers reisi & d-b-windows :) [13:06] distupgrade: ... apt-get dist-upgrade [13:06] d-b-windowz: yeah, but does it work like it does in Debian? [13:06] yeah but they prefer it if you use sudo update-manager -d (unless you are going to a beta / alpha ubuntu) [13:07] blueskynis: np :) [13:07] as that will switch the sources list for you, remove extra stuff and blah [13:07] I need libopenal0a to install a game, but it doesn't install via get-apt, it just says libopenal1 replaces it. [13:07] Photoguy: so your game is outdated ? [13:07] i'd recommend backup + full re-install rather than dist upgrade, what ever the os [13:08] reisi: never [13:08] Yes, but I have trouble with other games to. [13:08] on 8.10 where is the option to manually set up the video drivers? used to be called "screens and graphs or something (?)) [13:08] don't be silly reisi [13:08] Does it make sense for anyone to stay with 8.04 ? [13:09] distupgrade: yes [13:09] d-b-windowz: no, really.. you get rid of all stuff everyone has been hoarding on the system and have a chance to start up from clean state, rather than to hope everything goes nice [13:09] reisi: ....................................never [13:09] when I open a new window, it's titlebar is out of screen. (emerald + compiz) Can anyone tell me what to do about this? [13:09] reisi: we have apt-get for a reason. [13:09] reinstalling is a windows thing. [13:10] d-b-windowz: you've never had a distupgrade or ubuntu distribution upgrade go bad, really bad? [13:10] reisi: i use debian more than ubuntu. [13:10] so no. [13:10] never. [13:10] when I am connected to a samba share, the laptop takes sooooo long to shutdown. any ideas why? [13:10] Kristof_D: try holding alt while click dragging on the window [13:11] Can anyone point me to some video screen capture programs for ubuntu? [13:11] Kristof_D: you should be able to move the window that way [13:11] Slart: that helps to get the titlebar visible, but when I open the next window, it's misplaced again [13:11] d-b-windowz: agreed. advising a reinstall every six months says "our software is not very good" [13:11] heath|work: grecordmydesktop i think is one. [13:11] On Debian, dist-upgrade is probably safer than a fresh install. But I've never done it on Ubuntu yet. [13:11] whats a better graphical editor than gedit?

[14:17] ActionParsnip: Can I chose my Xubuntu version without reinstall it [14:17] Please back to my question. [14:18] ActionParsnip: or is it just the kernel [14:18] Pcimkeller: ive no idea, all I know is that its not an official release so is not officially supported in the official room [14:18] !xubuntu [14:18] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [14:19] okay then Thank you for your help. I chose my Xubuntu version and then... bye [14:19] Xfce is uses less memory than Gnome or KDE. [14:19] xfce is awesome [14:19] yes. it is. i love it . [14:19] personally I like icewm :) [14:19] but I am an old school solaris minimialist [14:20] i would like to try out e17 [14:20] i prefer fluxbox though. It has nice shortcut key mapping [14:20] hwilde, very nice, almost there. as I suspected, interestingly, it opens up a terminal. but how can I do it without opening a terminal? (running in the "background, I guess) [14:21] frank_b, umm where would you see it then [14:21] hello how can I have a list of IP addresses , I want to grep to remove duplicates , can I ? [14:21] hwilde, I don't want to see it. I just want to make sure amule restarts by itself if it crashes [14:21] achilles, sort --unique [14:22] hwilde, thank you very much [14:23] hwilde, I can do it in the command line, but for some reason inside a "!#/bin/bash" script, along with other commands, it won't execute if I put in a line "watch amule" [14:24] hey all, good morning. I am running ubuntu-server 8.10 for home storage, and I have two additional windows hard drive with media on them, but when i insert the hard drives internally, Ubuntu-server during loading says Bus error. how can i get these drives to recognize on ubuntu-server 8.10.? [14:24] frank_b, you should maybe look into crontab [14:25] Cyntek, it should just work. sounds like one of your windows harddrives is taking over "master" [14:26] Cyntek: have you checked the master / slave settings on them? [14:26] hwilde, ok. that seems to be too far away for my script programming knowledge, but thank you very much for your help :) [14:26] Cyntek: do they show in bios? [14:27] frank_b, to pm [14:27] how do I set the default keyboard layout? after every reboot my ubuntu is set to US layout... I want german as standard! [14:27] :) [14:27] !keyboard | tschundeee [14:27] tschundeee: To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts [14:27] yes, i doubled checked and made sure they are set in bios and on the hard drive. [14:27] hwilde, "to pm"? [14:27] they do show up in bios. [14:28] i will have to check a third time. brb [14:28] Hi everyone. I am installing Ubuntu on a Pentium 4 (128 MB RAM). I have noticed that the minimal requirements for graphic installations is 256 MB RAM, so, mi question is: [14:28] tschundeee: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=13340 [14:28] If I get mre RAM ans install it, when I remove the excedent RAM will I have any problem running ubuntu? [14:28] tschundeee: you can do it in xorg.conf too but HAL deals with keyboards now, it can be done there still however [14:29] tschundeee: you will replace sudo mousepad with gksudo gedit [14:29] ActionParsnip: Thats what I did... In the gnome menu keyboard I've set the keyboard default to German... unchecking and checking again sets it to german.. [14:29] ActionParsnip: but when I reboot it is us again === Odo is now known as Odo081 [14:30] frank_b, see my private message aka pm [14:30] hwilde, oh, ok [14:31] Hi everyone. I am installing Ubuntu on a Pentium 4 (128 MB RAM). I have noticed that the minimal requirements for graphic installations is 256 MB RAM, so, mi question is: [14:31] If I get mre RAM ans install it, when I remove the excedent RAM will I have any problem running ubuntu? [14:31] elo [14:31] do u know any soft i can use to make DIRECT voip beetween several IP adress [14:32] anyone know exactly how gmailfs works? [14:32] tschundeee: then I'd edit it in xorg.conf [14:32] VATP: I think the install needs more memory since it runs as a live cd too. [14:32] ActionParsnip: okay I'll check if this works [14:33] VATP: I think you'll be fine even if you remove the extra memory after the install.. even better would be to use the alternate cd to install.. it has a lighter text based install that doesn't need as much memory [14:33] dar_: have you looked at Ekiga? I think that's as direct as it gets [14:33] Hello, how can i boot ubuntu in safe graphics mode ? [14:34] Slart i take a look thks [14:34] does gmail works for you? I can't load the page... [14:34] dar_: even skype is a direct connection afaik.. perhaps the initial connection goes through a server of some kind but after that it'r point-to-point iirc [14:34] blueskynis: nope, it's broken [14:34] how do you add screensavers in kbuntu? I've installed electricsheep and for whatever reason, it's not selectable [14:35] ok. it worked...

I assume it's finding a tag that is in HTML for some reason. Rather than try to track that down, can I just turn off Rhythmbox's nagging so the default answer is always "No, I don't want to search for a suitable codec!"? [14:38] Hi, how can i boot ubuntu in safe graphics mode ? [14:39] blueskynis: nope.. don't know if it was a problem just in sweden but I just got "internal server error" or similar when trying to access gmail.. well well.. perhaps it's just a local problem [14:39] Slart: it's freakish slow [14:39] now [14:39] Hi there all! I have something I would like to change. When opening GNOME Terminal, it defaults to 20x25 in window size. I would like this to be the double by default. Is it possible to change the default screen size for GNOME Terminal? [14:41] list [14:41] Blinkiz : should be possible [14:41] Blinkiz: can't you change the shortcut? I think there might be a -geometry switch you can use [14:41] Slart: twinkle seem to do that but without video [14:41] :) [14:41] Hi, how can i boot ubuntu in safe graphics mode ?

[15:03] don't ask to ask ;) === shadeslayer1 is now known as shadeslayer [15:04] Can anyone answer my question about gparted? [15:04] elzoog, what question ? [15:04] What exactly does "Set disklabel" do in gparted. It obviously doesn't set the disk label. === peter_ is now known as Guest12652 [15:04] elzoog: oh.. I think it does.. but I think there are several labels [15:05] It seems like "set disklabel" should be changed to "delete partitions" because that's what it actually did. [15:05] !java | godowner [15:05] godowner: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [15:05] Well, I am confused. I thought "label" meant "label", not delete [15:05] elzoog: I think it sets the big disk label for the entire disk.. and that will erase the partition table, yes === peter_ is now known as Guest86777 [15:06] Ill check u out the community i guess... [15:06] elzoog I thought I saw a warning on writing labels [15:06] elzoog: well.. format doesn't mean delete but it will do just that [15:06] hmm actually it looks like i might be able to automate the setup properly now... they've fix0red it :) [15:06] but the thing is i installed it already but... nvm going to that url :D [15:06] So how do I get it to mount with names like "Windows Backup" and "Linux Backup" instead of "488.0 GB Media" and "252.1 GB Media"? [15:06] elzoog: and there is a big warning... Creating a new disklabel will erase all data on /dev/bla bla bla [15:06] question: Is xinerama incompatible with the composite extension? [15:06] elzoog: you set the fs label === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [15:07] elzoog: there are several utilities to do that.. not sure if gparted can do it.. but you use e2label to set it for ext2/3 partitions.. mtools for fat32 or ntfs etc etc [15:07] It is an external hard drive that I connect through a USB port. So it won't be connected all the time and it's not the only external hard drive I use. [15:08] elzoog-> the correct way is usage of udev rules, but you can manually use "thisis my disk" in quotes during mount [15:08] So that would mean that a name like "Linux Backup" would have to be on the external, since the same USB port might also mount a different external. [15:08] I have a bit of an emergency. why would my ubuntu server become a read-only file system? [15:09] * G69 boa tarde! [15:09] elzoog:I just checked.. if you right click on a partition you can set the label .. that's the partition label, not the disk label [15:10] !splash [15:10] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [15:10] dbrewer_rjr -> default to remount filesystem to ro if somehow it fails [15:10] So if I disconnect it. Connect a different hard drive, then reconnect it, would it recover the same label? Or do I manually have to do it every time? [15:10] Does anyone know a method for disabling cpu frequency scaling that works? I've tried cpufreq-selector but it always reverts back after a while. [15:10] elzoog: yes, the label will stick [15:10] !xinerama [15:10] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [15:10] !gnome-splashscreen-manager [15:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:10] elzoog: I use it to name my usb drives and such.. they will get the same mountpoint every time /media/
