[00:00] zash: sorry, got called away from the laptop for a moment. i have to do dinner now, but i'll look into it some more. thanks for your help! [00:00] Did you use unetbootin with your USB, Nibsa? [00:00] and i have to sleep [00:00] :( [00:00] nibsa1242b: host is Windows XP, 3GB Memory, 2.4ghz processor [00:01] Nalf: I used the auto install to flash for the thumbdrive; and booted straight from the USB HD from the bios for the install from an external HD [00:01] taso: which processor, it makes a difference === michael is now known as OptimusPrime [00:02] Is there a way to change application font colours, without changing themes? Using a dark theme is causing my gedit to highlight the currently-selected line as black, making it impossible to read the selected line. It also uses the same colour for text as the background of Nautilus. [00:02] I used http://www.pendrivelinux.com/live-ubuntu-810-usb-persistent-install-windows/ this, but the installer locked up. [00:02] Hi! === harry is now known as Guest97121 [00:02] i cant watch youtube videos despite installing flash [00:02] nibsa1242b: Intel Centrino Duo Core Pro [00:03] i did everything correctly typed sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree in terminal and even restarted firefox but i still can't watch youtube videos [00:03] no body there ? [00:03] taso: does the proc support Intel VT? is it enabled? [00:03] FrozenFire: one way would be to edit your theme yourself [00:03] why cant u watch youtube its fun to watch. [00:03] hoi allemeel [00:03] because it says i dont have the latist flash player [00:04] jrib: Do you know where I can find theme files? There is no way to set font colours under the Appearance applet. [00:04] bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When using proprietary software, it's often necessary to restart. [00:04] nibsa1242b: I believe so, what does that mean and how can I check? [00:04] anyone here know what they are doing?? [00:04] FrozenFire: art.gnome.org has a tutorial on creating themes. The themes are in /usr/share/themes/ or ~/.themes if it's one you installed yourself. If you want to modify one from /usr/share/themes, copy it to ~/.themes and work there [00:05] Nope. ^_^ [00:05] Jrib, is pretty knowledgeable. [00:05] how do i set permissions on /var/www so apache can read stuff from it, i can't ask anywhere else because of root ban [00:05] is er ook iemand die nederlands kan ? [00:05] mbord: join #ubuntu-nl [00:05] ok well almost any ubantu user should be able to answer my question [00:06] I'm trying to boot jaunty from a LiveUSB (created from the "USB Startup Disc Creator"), but I don't see the option at the boot screen. I only see "Install Ubuntu", "Check disc for defects", "Test memory", "Boot from first hard drive", "Rescue a broken system". Is it not possible to simply boot from the USB? (I'm not sure if this is jaunty-related or not, I can't remember what the intrepid liveusb was like) [00:06] My X just borked. I rebooted after some autoupdates, for which i didn't reboot for perhaps 2 weeks ... and now i'm stuck using the vesa driver ... [00:06] cactusfrog: you need to be more patient. Pastebin the contents of the page you get when you visit "about:plugins" in your address bar in firefox [00:06] cactusfrog, sudo chmod -R 755 /media/cdrom0 didn't work? [00:06] how i hafe now work whit ubuntu or lunix [00:06] nvidia-xconfig doesn't seem to have worked [00:06] what can/should i do? [00:06] cactusfrog: maybe but I came in too late to read it [00:06] taso: it means it runs things faster when they are being virtualized , I'm not sure how to check, I don't often use windows, and I've only ever used QEMU for virtualization. [00:07] lepine: what happens when you try to use the nvidia driver? [00:07] taso: anyhow my understanding is that it should be run 80% to 10% of the speed you would expect natively if everything is set up correctly. [00:07] i dont get why i cant watch yotube videos just says http://pastebin.com/d4ea1bd68 and i have installed the flash player through terminal wtf!

That would be my guess.. It's not an official release yet, right? [00:08] swegner: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks.

[00:08] Nalf: I don't think there needs to be a live version... I simply used the alpha5 ISO to burn the liveusb [00:09] jrib: well, it seems to still be using the vesa driver ... i'll paste my config ... i might have done it wrong. http://pastebin.ca/1356954 [00:09] cactusfrog: Firefox?

Just wanted to check here as well [00:09] cactusfrog, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree mozilla-plugin-gnash [00:09] lepine: what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say?

[00:10] lepine: what did you use to install the drivers? [00:10] cactusfrog: I think this can be fixed [00:10] Nalf: ok, I thought I remembered being able to with intrepid as well. I wonder if it's because I used the amd64 ISO.. [00:10] Pollywog, cactusfrog they both work just as well I use flashplugin-nonfree and am doing fine [00:10] fearful: k [00:10] good to know nonfree works too [00:10] ugh, can someone please tell me how to change my irc ident on pidgin so it doesn't say root without having to create another user and do a bunch of annoying crap [00:10] cactusfrog, but which ever you prefer [00:10] Zeroyez: why are you ircing as root anyway? [00:11] jrib: it mentions vesa alot ... i haven't seen what looks like an error yet ... [00:11] lepine: pastebin :) [00:11] i have installed the nvidia drivers but i cant have more than 640*480 pls help [00:11] but a few weeks ago it all of a sudden did not work in Firefox and I had to use Flock browser [00:11] !fixres | Dillizar [00:11] Dillizar: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[00:12] is there any way to get sox to support .ogg without recompiling it myself? [00:12] Pollywog, maybe you should give the nonfree a try ;) [00:12] jrib: dun care, has no effect on me except the stupid root ban on irc [00:12] (what is the point of packaging sox without [m]any codecs?) [00:12] Nalf: ok, I'll assume it's a jaunty problem then.. [00:12] fearful: I will do so if I have a problem again, but it works now [00:12] jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1356956 [00:12] Zeroyez: well the right solution here is to not irc as root. And to create a regular account. Good luck with your issue [00:12] nope restarting the X doesnt help [00:12] Swegner: Good luck. I'm going to attempt to install myself now! Bye bye. [00:13] jrib: i disabled one of them, but still get a grey rect instead of a vid [00:13] jrib: mirc on wine it is, then [00:13] here is a quick question...say I install an application and it creates an ICON for it in the applications menu...when I do a apt-get remove (said application) it does not remove the associated icon within the applications menu. Is this normal? or should I be uninstall my applications in a different manner/ [00:13] Zeroyez: it's actually a trivial thing in pidgin iirc. But like I said you really really should have a non-root account to work with [00:14] what's -J and +J? flags [00:14] lepine: line 1714.

But for LAN there is nothing in then "LAN:full working" :-( [00:36] mikeshollen: in terminal its sudo, if you want to run it like fearful said [00:36] Myrtti, avg is a windows anti-virus I'm almost sure my friends use it [00:36] sebsebseb: sorry I dont know what that means :( [00:36] sebsebseb: mleger I think ibex won't hurt, but I doubt it'll fix the audio problem. Does he have pulse installed now? [00:36] fearful: that's what I'm afraid of it is [00:36] jumar, if your running a GUI app as root you need gksu not sudo [00:36] mleger: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio [00:36] mleger: try that [00:36] sebsebseb: my opinion is that ibex would work... the only thing is the support is shorter but it still lasts until jaunty :D [00:36] nibsa1242b: yes I do have it installed. Playing sound files shows sound output but nothing coming out of laptop speakers [00:37] yeah, AVG is a windows AntiVirus software...I use it on my windows box [00:37] mikeshollen, why would you want to run avg anyway [00:37] yeah, thats why what you wrote was more precise, sorry [00:37] because I do [00:37] mleger: ok you are new to Linux :D you don't know about KDE? [00:37] how do you restart pulseaudio properly in intrepid? [00:37] mikeshollen: you're not making sense [00:37] mikeshollen: are you trying to run the windows antivirus program avg? [00:37] mikeshollen: you don't need antivirus software on ubuntu; this isn't windows [00:37] mikeshollen, are you guarding a windows server? [00:37] mikeshollen, well if its not a linux version of avg you need wine [00:37] no, avg 7.5 is for linux [00:37] sebsebseb: no I understand its kubuntu right? different than gnome?\ [00:37] sebsebseb: tried it but pulse is already installed so nothing new was installed [00:37] mikeshollen: are you running a mail server with windows clients or something? [00:37] mleger: yes, but in Hardy you can have KDE3 the nice and mature and stable version, as well as KDE4 which is newer [00:37] mikeshollen, then gksu avg or I don't know the command really [00:38] !virus | mikeshollen [00:38] mikeshollen: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [00:38] is there any daemons out there that can switch the current user (x session) to another user (default user), after a period of time the computer has been idle ? [00:38] you dont have to be root to guard your system in that case [00:38] mleger: what do you see in alsamixer ? [00:38] mleger: in Ibex you have to do nonsense to have both if it's even possible, or run a hardy vm for KDE3 or some other distro === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [00:38] Currently I'm running Wine, although I understand that it's a bit more bullet proof [00:38] what do you mean? i dont understand... mikeshollen [00:38] mleger: I think you should try KDE3 and 4 hence why I was saying about that, but going back to the sound issue, Ibex should be alright [00:39] mleger: Ibex won't make things worse I expect when it comes to sound [00:39] nibsal1242b: gnome alsa mixer says: Realtek ID 663 [00:39] How am I being so confusing? I just want to run the program. It's security software. It needs to be run as root to update and scan properly. I want to run it despite the fact that Linux doesn't have the same issues as Windows, because I run windows software through Wine. [00:40] mikeshollen: lol ok [00:40] mikeshollen, I said gksu avg [00:40] mikeshollen: you can use a Linux anti virus program to scan a Linux install as well as Wine for Windows viruses [00:40] it wont make a mess thru wine, well its not 99% but it want, try firestarter instead, its in the repos [00:40] should I update to 9.04? [00:40] nibsal1242b: trying to open alsamixergui gives an error message [00:40] fearful, think I could just put ubuntu on my ipod and boot from that? === maxbaldwin is now known as maxbaldwin-ninja [00:40] sebsebseb: correct, and AVG is a linux antivirus [00:40] zeldarocks: not yet, the final release is not out yet [00:40] jumar: since when has *firestarter* done anything to *viruses* [00:40] I mean the alpha 5 [00:40] sebsebseb: ok I'm going to try to upgrade soon [00:41] mikeshollen: you don't need an antivirus really for wine though, Windows viruses don't tend to work properly in wine if at all [00:41] mikeshollen, exactly therefore it won't check for windows viruses on linux [00:41] !upgrade | mleger [00:41] mleger: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:41] alright, my fault, got lately no viruses, sorry again [00:41] does anyone know what's happening with compiz today? [00:41] fearful: it was originally created for windows viruses, it will check for them because the c drive exists within the linux directories [00:41] should I update to alpha 5? [00:41] i grabbed the latest jaunty updates, and it seems to be broken [00:41] zeldarocks: how experiened are you with Ubuntu? [00:42] mikeshollen, ther wont be viruses [00:42] mikeshollen, the point is you do not need a antivirus for linux... not for wine either [00:42] just started with it a few days/weeks ago [00:42] zeldarocks: see jwulf|eee ; jwulf|eee: yes, you're using a development version: help in #ubuntu+1 [00:42] zeldarocks: that answers the question then, do not upgrade to alpha 5. ,because your new to Ubuntu and it's an alpha [00:43] zeldarocks: do you know about the stages of software? alaphas, betas, release candidates, and then final release [00:43] zeldarocks: alpha 5 is apparnatly pretty stable, but it will have bugs [00:43] mikeshollen, and if you really want to run it use the command I provided 3 times already [00:43] I tried [00:43] jrib: ok, i'm back to the nvidia driver apparently (according to the hardware drivers pane) ... [00:43] mikeshollen, then look in the menus it should be there [00:43] but still stuck in lousy resolutions ... [00:44] gksu avg didn't do anything that I can tell [00:44] oh wait ... now it;s asking me to reboot ... doing so [00:44] I do know about the phases, but I don't see any danger/threat with updating, is there? [00:44] zeldarocks: if you want to upgrade early, maybe the beta, but anything before that big NO! [00:44] fearful: i found out how to add getdeb to apt. hope this was a good idea, but pidgin is running again :) === Qtpaxa2 is now known as Qtpaxa [00:44] mikeshollen, well I don't know the exact command as I said too, why don't you search for it and try it with gksu [00:44] why? [00:44] zeldarocks: I just told you why [00:44] how do i list out applications? [00:44] what would the directory be for them [00:44] zeldarocks: do you not know what software bugs are? [00:44] should I know anything specific about using the upgrade manager to upgrade to 8.10 when I'm installed on wubi? [00:44] sint, nice :p [00:45] would it help any tht I'm running ubuntu through Virtual Box? [00:45] mikeshollen, i haven't found any free version of avg for linux, if you try to run the exe, you dont really need to be root, just open it with wine, exe is not native on linux, not a package [00:45] mleger: oh dear your on wubi [00:45] sebsebseb: yea I told you total noob [00:45] mikeshollen: what do you mean [00:45] mleger: ok pm me [00:45] mikeshollen: like dpkg --get-selections [00:45] !who | mikeshollen [00:45] mikeshollen: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:45] mikeshollen, /usr/bin [00:45] I'm having an issue, I had a crash, and now my xserver is borked I used xfix, which means it now runs, but whenever I run nvidia-xconfig to generate an xorg.conf, it totally hangs, it doesn't even institute failsafe X, it just hangs forever, here's the xorg file nvidia xconfig gives: http://rafb.net/p/Z4JNkr34.html and here's the output of my xorg error log: http://rafb.net/p/ptMl8J96.html [00:45] http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afl [00:46] thanks, mikesholen [00:46] and by hangs forever I mean: gdm never finishes loading, or loading the backup xorg [00:46] would updating be ok since I'm running ubunti through VirtualBox? I would think so IMO [00:46] mikeshollen, look in that directory, if its installed it should be there and voila [00:47] there's no amd64, mikeshollen, so im not going to play with it [00:47] zeldarocks, take a snapshot before you update. if it breaks you can always go back this way [00:47] would it bring me back to my previous version? [00:47] jumar: no problem [00:47] sorry about that, but i really dont think that viruses can be any threat to wine or linux [00:48] how do you make a custom application launcher that needs root access? what is the command? [00:48] snapshots bring me bak to a previous install? [00:49] fearful: thank you, the app name was avggui [00:49] has anyone else had problems mounting vista cifs shares? I am getting memory allocation errors. Doesn't make any sense. [00:49] mikeshollen, alright no problem [00:49] fearful: so I know how to run things as root from terminal, but you're suggesting that gksu "appname" will cause it to launch from the ubuntu gui as root as well? [00:50] zeldarocks, well yea, it takes an exact replica of the VM's running state [00:50] mikeshollen, yes gksu is like running as sudo but it prepares the environment for a root GUI application [00:50] zeldarocks, thats the most useful feauture of a VM [00:50] tuxtox, start with: gksu command [00:50] if you type gksu you can run as any user [00:50] regardless of version? [00:51] zeldarocks, regardless of the operating system that you run inside of a vm [00:51] jumar you are the man (or woman) thanks [00:51] k if so, I'll update, BRB [00:51] fearful: so if i put gksu avggui in terminal, I will always launch as root when i click on it from the applications menu? [00:51] jumar what does gksu mean? [00:51] zeldarocks, it just doesnt care what its running, its all bits to the virtualbox [00:51] mikeshollen, nope, only when you run it through the terminal [00:51] So how do i run the GameServ from my desktop [00:51] hi, can anyone tell me i can't change date & time? If I try and use time-admin the "unlock" button is greyed out [00:51] ? [00:52] hello, i always get mkdir: cannot create directory, to many links [00:52] fearful: is there a way to ask the application to run as root so I can just click on it from the gui and have it launch as root all the time? [00:52] it is an empty dir and i have diskspace [00:52] how do i view hidden files and dictionaries? === bombshelter13 is now known as bombshelter13_ [00:53] christophe, links refer to 'soft links' if you some how nest them.. you can get that error i recall. [00:53] mezy: CTRL+H in nautilus or ls -a [00:53] Dr_willis: i get this in /tmp on boot (my X can't load because of this error) [00:53] If I open Time and Date Settings the "Unlock" button is unlocked and I can't change anything...anyone know why this is? [00:53] mikeshollen, um I don't think thats a such a good idea but you can choose it from the edit menu selection when right clicking then finding avg and in properties put gksu avggui [00:53] hi guys! [00:53] Dr_willis: how can I check if there are soft links? [00:54] fearful, YES! imgburn fixed my problem!!! [00:54] does ubuntu 8.04 come with samba already installed? [00:54] trapline91, awsome [00:54] sam555, yes [00:54] fearful, kind of sad it had to be windows software on linux that would fix the problem [00:54] fearful: thanks! [00:54] trapline91, I agree, but I've never experienced this problem to be honest [00:54] fearful, hope you never have to! anyways im off to install 9.04 :D [00:55] Hello, how do I login as root for ubuntu? or what is the default PW? I want to maybe create users and manage permission on my local PC. Thanks [00:55] <_VIM_> !root [00:55] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:56] Jose_Gaspar, you can do that as your user using root [00:56] !sudo|Jose_Gaspar [00:56] Jose_Gaspar: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [00:56] christophe, 'ls -l' shows that sort of info [00:57] My speakers have decided to stop working on me. Is there a mute option in ubuntu that I don't know about? [00:57] <_VIM_> meanburrito920_: yeah it's called PulseAudio [00:57] <_VIM_> heh [00:57] I am trying to run tor and it only is running for root, not for my user profile [00:57] meanburrito920_, which ones do you know about [00:57] Jose_Gaspar: then, sudo tor [00:58] Dr_willis if I do this in /tmp then it is empty (even with -al) If I do this on / then /tmp is of root:root and a directory (no soft link) === maxbaldwin-ninja is now known as maxbaldwin [00:58] does apps mad for kde work with ubuntu/gnome thingie? [00:58] I checked all the sound settings in the preferences menu. None of them work. This has been going on for about 3 days [00:58] yes [00:58] hey peeps.

[01:01] Darkequinox, sorry didn't read [01:02] <_VIM_> meanburrito920_: no clue, sorry, im not really a sound guy [01:02] christophe, the permissions i got on tmp (from ls -l) are --> drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 2009-03-10 01:01 tmp [01:02] okay [01:02] Dr_willis: exactly the same as mine [01:02] christophe, this is on a normal install? or live cd? [01:03] here is a quick question...say I install an application and it creates an ICON for it in the applications menu...when I do a apt-get remove (said application) it does not remove the associated icon within the applications menu. Is this normal? or should I be uninstall my applications in a different manner? [01:03] Dr_willis: normal install [01:03] christophe, cd to the dir as a user, and try making a dir, or touching a file [01:03] !run [01:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about run [01:03] m3gaman: there's a hidden folder with the icons for the menu [01:03] .info [01:03] Dr_willis: can you tell me maybe a next step, because I have to boot again :p [01:04] sebsebseb: ok, so I assume an apt-get remove does not delete the icon associated with the application? === monkeyblack is now known as [craZY] [01:04] so, I'm totally new to Linux. No close to nothing. Got a book on it though, with a fiesty disk. Anywayz, I cant the wireless card to work. It IS supported, and it's detected. I'm pretty sure everything is working properly, but it just wont connect to a network. [01:04] m3gaman: use this instead. sudo apt-get purge programname [01:04] Dr_willis: I think this will not work, so it would be nice if I could test 2 things [01:04] Darkequinox, I suggest you download 8.10 and start from their especially since your new :) much easier [01:04] sebsebseb: great...I will give that a try...thanks [01:04] m3gaman: and icons for things should be removed from the menu, unless it's a program you installed in wine [01:05] I'm having a problem where my display will randomly crash. The monitor is reporting no signal. I can't bring up a console using ctrl+alt+F1, however I can ssh into the machine. Both kern.log and syslog contain two lines similar to "[ 890.652635] NVRM: Xid (0003:00): 16, Head 00000001 Count 00000000", and Xorg.0.log contains two lines similar to "(WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0xffffffff, 0x00007f18)". This is a core I7 system [01:05] I would get 8.10, but my dad wont let me [01:05] nevermind, i'll boot and come back. is easier for you [01:05] sebsebseb: I just installed it in linux via apt-get install...then removed it using apt-get remove it appears to have removed the application but the icon is still in the applications menu [01:05] Dunno why. [01:05] Darkequinox, huh thats a first... [01:05] hi [01:06] theclaw: hi === [craZY] is now known as ^ [01:06] 8.10 is Ibex, right? [01:06] <_VIM_> yep [01:06] Darkequinox, Intrepid Ibex correct [01:06] I just upgraded to intrepid, now pidgin doesn't connect to ICQ any longer, it says I should upgrade pidgin? === ^ is now known as ^^ === ^^ is now known as ^ [01:06] it worked fine with hardy (I used hardy-backports, but that shouldn't matter?) === ^ is now known as Guest64575 [01:07] just checking. Anyway, I suppose that if I could my Internet working, I could probably get Ibex that way, but I cant get the wireless to work. [01:08] Anyone know why the installer would freeze at 'Starting bluetooth'?

Theres no Synaptics in Ibex? Whats used for packages, then? [01:09] theclaw: oh and starting with a new pidgin file could help with your issue [01:09] Im updating as we speak [01:09] theclaw: pidgin profile that was meant to say [01:09] itll be done in 22 minutes [01:09] onde posso entrar no canal do brazil nao consigo [01:09] sebsebseb: I don't see why a new profile would help? [01:10] Can someone help me, even though my comp is on Feisty? [01:10] Dr_willis: touching a file works mkdir doesn't [01:10] theclaw: ,because then you get a 100% clean pidgin [01:10] christophe, check the 'mount' command - see if /tmp is mounted in some odd way.. somthing is very weird here [01:10] how to know how much mem a process used? [01:11] Darkequinox: feisty isn't supported (no more security updates), you should upgrade [01:11] Darkequinox: Fesity is no longer suppourted you should upgrade [01:11] !upgrade > Darkequinox [01:11] Darkequinox, please see my private message [01:11] <_VIM_> !pt | goiano [01:11] goiano: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:11] Dr_willis: /tmp isn't mounted as so , /dev/sda1 on which/tmp is located is [01:12] I know its not supported, but I cant upgrade. That's the thing. If I can get my internet wroking on it, THEN I'll update to Ibex. === Guest64575 is now known as ^ [01:12] Darkequinox: k, then ask for help with that [01:12] Which I have... === ^ is now known as Guest39987 [01:12] sebsebseb: nope, that didn't work.. [01:13] christophe, im out of ideas. id say google for that exact error mesage and perhaps get some clues [01:13] Darkequinox: better than "Can someone help me, even though my comp is on Feisty?". In any case though, it's probably easier to just backup your data and do a fresh install of 8.10 [01:13] christophe, whats the exact commands you are doing? i just 'cd /tmp' then 'mkdir teststuff' and it worked with the permissions shown [01:13] wartalker: the output of 'ps aux' might help [01:13] What is the difference between mark for removal, and mark for complete removal in synaptic? [01:13] Dr_willis if i google then they tell me that ext3 can only have 38980 files in a directory [01:14] christophe, you may want to fsck the filesystem just in case its some quirk there. [01:14] I cant figure out what to do about my wireless internet connection. My card is supported, Feisty has it's drivers, so it's working.... maybe its the network manager app itself? [01:14] mikeshollen: the configuration files don't get removed in "removal" I guess [01:14] theclaw: try an alternative? licq [01:14] lol. Save server, fsck an Admin. [01:14] mikeshollen, mark for removal means uninstall and complete is deleting package as well if im not mistaken [01:14] theclaw, normal removal - keeps the configs.. yes [01:14] Darkequinox: can't you use a wired connection to upgrade? [01:14] Dr_willis : i do the same sequence of commands + i did fsck, without any results [01:14] what do you mean by deleting package? [01:14] sebsebseb: I tried licq.. I don't quite like it. I'd like to know why it doesn't work with intrepid now [01:15] mikeshollen: software is called packages in Linux [01:15] No, My dad wont let me drag the cords into my room. [01:15] sebsebseb: it's the same version as I used before [01:15] how do I change the resolution of the login screen for ubuntu? [01:15] sebsebseb, ta [01:15] b1n42y: np [01:15] Dr_willis thanks for thinking with me although you maybe are out of ideas ;) [01:15] Guys, I have 5 minutes. Can someone help? [01:16] !wireless > Darkequinox [01:16] mikeshollen, i would guess that complete removal does the same as -purge in the cli. that is, remove config files also. [01:16] Darkequinox, please see my private message [01:16] kennethr: have you tried simply setting the resolution of your desktop? [01:16] Darkequinox: maybe check the old versions of those pages for feisty [01:16] theclaw: yes [01:16] christophe, boot a live cd and see if ya can do it. in that dir. [01:16] theclaw: it works after I log in, but every other GUI thing before that is different resolution. [01:16] Darkequinox, im not sure of your problem but wicd is an alternative to NM [01:17] Dr_willis, i'll try that [01:17] My wireless connection isn;t wthanks for the heads up. [01:17] theclaw: I have the desktop where I want it...but the boot progress indicator is wrong resolution, and login screen is a little off [01:17] ack [01:17] kennethr: I guess it would work if you wrote the resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:17] anyone know how I can change aMSN's time to am/pm format? [01:17] forgot to hit enter. [01:17] b1n42y, thanks for the heads up [01:17] silly question: on update, i was asked if i wanted to keep the local version of menu.lst. i said yes, but the updated kernels don't show up. how do i automagically get that prompt again? [01:17] theclaw: what would the entry look like and where would it go? [01:17] kennethr: but that's not a very user friendly solution I guess [01:17] theclaw: right [01:17] Darkequinox, np === KnightWhoSaysNi is now known as UdontKnow [01:18] kennethr: would this bug be similar with a fix Bug #16472 in gdm (Ubuntu): “Login Screen Resolution” look for the line that says virtual. [01:18] kennethr: I don't know at the moment, I don't use those settings anymore either [01:18] which ubuntu package contains gnome-cups-manager [01:18] kennethr: I had that issue when I ran Intrepid and installed Nvidia drivers-- my login screen was too huge-- also the boot progress loader looked funny-- [01:19] theclaw: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/fix-boot-gui-resolution-in-ubuntu.html [01:19] timestamps on amsn to am/pm anyone? [01:19] how can i get the madwifi drivers and get wpa_supplicant to recognize them? [01:19] So I'm going to transfer a .odt file to a computer running Windows XP that has Microsoft Word 2003 on it. I just want to know if Microsoft Word 2003 can open .odt files. [01:19] theclaw: trying thast [01:19] *that* [01:19] hmm gnome panel is taking 540 MB is that normal? [01:19] ooh! What if my card is listed as an unknown device, but is still recognised with a driver? [01:19] Mike94287, I doubt it. OO.org can save as a .doc file though [01:19] Mike94287: I don't believe so, no. But you can save it as a .doc in openoffice. [01:20] b1n42y, are you kidding? [01:20] <_VIM_> b1n42y: no way [01:20] theclaw: brb [01:20] kennethr: no, that's probably not what you want [01:20] Darkequinox: Don't worry about it? [01:20] OMGWTFBBQ?! They have an article on my EXACT CARD! [01:20] Yayz. [01:20] theclaw: what is it? [01:20] Anyone here have experience with recovering data from a RAID 1? [01:20] <_VIM_> !OMG | Darkequinox [01:20] Darkequinox: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:20] kennethr: it affects the resolution of the boot splash (the "progress bar") [01:21] mroc: Would there be a way to make the deault file format in openoffice .dot [01:21] nope 545 MiB [01:21] .doc* [01:21] Mike94287: nope it can't [01:21] Mike94287: well maybe it can with an add on [01:21] Mike94287 yes [01:21] yes it can [01:21] segin: How can I go about doing that? === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [01:22] Mike94287: I can't tell you off the top of my head [01:22] its under general > Load/Save [01:22] kennethr: you might have to adjust your xorg config, but that's not too complicated [01:22] Mike94287: office 2003 cannot open .odt except with an add on [01:22] Default file format [01:22] Mike94287, yes. Tools > options > Load/save > general [01:22] Does anyone know why unetbootin would look almost as if I opened a .doc with wordpad when I booted up? [01:22] "Always save as" [01:22] sebsebseb: office > trash :P [01:22] on update, i was asked if i wanted to keep the local version of menu.lst. i said yes, but the updated kernels don't show up. how do i automagically get that prompt again? [01:23] segin: yep I don't like Office 2007 [01:23] segin: Office 2003 is sort of ok, but I would rather use alternatives [01:23] ugh that "ribbon" on the top... [01:23] sebsebseb: and what's worse is going to be Windows 7's builtin Wordpad thing [01:23] segin: Office 2003 was fine for most users, for years, and so Office 2007 what was the real point, except for MS to make even more money out of their Office cash cow. that's Windows and Office their two main cash cows. [01:24] sebsebseb: Infected with the horrid RibbonUI and bad support of ODT. [01:24] segin: indeed Wordpad is like a completly differnet app it was nice and simple before, however the Wordpad in Win7 can do ODF :) [01:24] mroc, take a look into /boot/grub/menu.lst. It's possible that the other boot options are simply commented out. I've had that happen [01:24] segin, sebsebseb: offtopic [01:24] I just insalled the hardy amd64, but when I do apt-get update its throwing 404 for all the Files it's trying to download? It's using the default sources.list [01:24] segin: oh bad suppourt for ODT, and yes we are off topic [01:24] The weird thing is, I can manually "wget file" and it works [01:24] anyone know a guide for ndiswrapper I could use? [01:24] shear_clone: is there a nice way to just tell it to replace the local version with the automatically configured version? [01:25] Darkequinox: google is your friend === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [01:25] segin: want to continue in off topic or pm? [01:25] mroc, not that I know of. However, if the kernels are installed, it shouldn't be too hard to add your own entries to menu.lst [01:25] <_VIM_> telling someone to go google it, is not very helpful [01:26] Alright, so one more question: How do you blacklist a driver? [01:26] shear_clone: true. hoping for the lazy way out on this one. [01:26] Is there a skype version for Ubuntu 8.10? Skype's page only shows binaries for 7.04-8.04 [01:26] Mood: they are a bit out of date on their page, however that version works in 8.10 as well [01:26] sebsebseb: cool. thanks [01:26] Mood: ive got skype on 8.10 and its probably that same version if i recall correctly... [01:26] !blacklist | Darkequinox [01:26] Darkequinox: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [01:26] Mood: and Skype hum I know how people can phone loads of countires for free [01:27] Darkequinox: there's an ndiswrapper guide on the wireless docs page [01:27] XFCEntral: trying it now... [01:27] jrib, ty. [01:27] sebsebseb: can i PM you? [01:27] mroc, all you have to do is copy the entry already in menu.lst, and change a few numbers that correspond to kernel version. it's almost as easy as it gets :D [01:28] Mood: yep [01:29] shear_clone: thanks, i think i found what i needed.... sudo update-grub pretty sure that did what i was looking to do. [01:29] sebsebseb: have you ever used unetbootin? [01:29] how can i install the madwifi drivers [01:29] !madwifi [01:29] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:29] mroc, excellent === oakst1_ is now known as oakst1 [01:30] hmm well i just killed gnome-panel, then it restarted and its only using 6.5 MB [01:30] postfix keeps saying saslauthd is not available but it is running. why is that? [01:31] ok if im using alsa as my mixer should pulse audio be running? [01:31] Nalf: no, but a guy told me how to do the netboot ages ago on IM [01:31] Nalf: well I guess not that long ago [01:31] Nalf: I have some old logs some where, but I won't dig them up for you :d [01:31] sebsebseb: Thanks. ^_- Not that helpful, anyways. [01:32] sebsebseb: I have run it, and my partition is bootable.. but everything comes up like all encrypted.. I can't read any of the font it's just garbage characters.

[01:34] dennda, simply rm the symlink. remember to omit the trailing slash. so "rm symlink" not "rm symlink/" [01:34] <_VIM_> jrib: sindy [01:34] thanks, jrib.

[01:34] <_VIM_> ok :) [01:34] In intrepid the WEP Ascii option in nm-applet is removed [01:35] how are you supposed to connect to a network with a WEP ascii key? [01:35] sebsebseb: ahh. sandisk. 2g micro with micro usb adapter [01:35] Hmm, why is the term "sudo" used to declare temporary root? [01:36] mezy: oh a 2GB usb stick???/ [01:36] keres, iirc, it's short for "superuser do" [01:36] or something like that [01:36] CShadowRun, use different method via router? [01:36] shear_clone: i see. [01:36] ty [01:36] Ubunt 8.10 being slow. I'm in the WMWare right now, no luck though, the GUI is still pretty choppy, do you guys know anything that I could do so this won't happen? [01:36] b1n42y seems long winded to have to reconfigure every computer in the house because ubuntu can't support WEP ascii [01:36] it does in hardy [01:36] it seems completely insane to remove support for it [01:37] CShadowRun: you mean "WEP 128-bit Passphrase"? [01:37] mezy: wubi and running like that from a USB device, is a newbie way to run Ubuntu in my opinion. partitining is good and the way to go :) however I guess whatever as long as it works for you and your running Ubuntu :) and hopefuly as your main OS instead of Windows [01:37] crdlb trying... [01:37] sebsebseb, I think you ment Winblows ;) kidding [01:38] fearful: not that time, and I don't hate Microslap, I just hate how most apps that many people want to run, were made for Windows only === serrano is now known as pythagorean23 [01:38] id rather use Virtuaklbox then wubi. :) but thats jsut me... [01:38] Dr_willis: same here [01:38] crdlb my mistake, they just changed the name :) [01:38] Dr_willis: even if Windows is the host [01:38] CShadowRun: it should have autodetected the security type [01:39] sebsebseb, dont even get me started.. :) [01:39] Dr_willis: lol [01:39] <_jet__> hello, I need some help... [01:39] dr_willis: what is virtualklbox? [01:40] <_jet__> I messed up something in my network configuration [01:40] Dr_willis: seriosuly though wubi, running ubuntu from a usb, and running it in virtualbox with Windows as the host. good for trying, but then partitioning is so the way to go :) [01:40] <_jet__> and internet doesn't work anymore... === Cash^911 is now known as thespottedelf [01:40] CShadowRun: did it not try to do that? [01:40] sebsebseb, right now im backign stuff up/moveing files.. and i cant under stand the Muicrosoft logic of albumArt_XXXX.jpg files being 'system files' and causing me to confifm that yes.. i do want to Move them to the archive disk.. :) [01:40] sebsebseb: Doesn't wubi partition?.. === Crazyguy_ is now known as Crazyguy [01:40] sebsebseb, linux is so handy - i always got puppylinux set up on virtualbox on every windows machine [01:40] crdlb dunno, helping someone via remote and it doesn't help when the names of the options get changed, lol [01:40] Nalf: not properly no, it puts Ubuntu inside the Windows NTFS partition [01:41] sebsebseb: what is the downfall to that? [01:41] Ubuntu in a file on the ntfs filesystem [01:41] sebsebseb: is have only 2gs bad? [01:41] Dr_willis: indeed Linux can be used to fix Windohs problems as well [01:41] Nalf: i know it wont hibernate but thats not a big deal to most haha [01:41] <_jet__> does anybody knows why I could have "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" and how to fix it? [01:41] mezy: having to boot from a USB stick each time, would suck [01:41] not really.... [01:42] If i can ever get LordOfTheRingsOnline Working with wine.. i could ditch windows. :) but that game is a pain [01:42] mezy: good for trying, but you should partition your hard disk properly for Ubuntu [01:42] xfcentral: Definitely not a big deal to me. I had issues getting wubi to install, though. In fact, I'm still having issues getting ubuntu installed. t.t [01:42] CShadowRun: I see, well you might want to ensure ESSID hiding isn't enabled [01:42] sebsebseb: hmm? im don't understand why that is needed [01:42] so that network manager can be helpful [01:42] Nalf: uh oh, hopefully nothing major. it worked for me since 7.10 i believe, until i wiped out XP and went straight Linux [01:43] hey guys I don't feel like typing a load of reasons why I think it's best to run Ubuntu from a hard disk partition with another partition for a seperate home folder. anyone want to explain to mezy? [01:43] yea, i'm just waiting for replies now [01:43] hi. i updated some packages and now i can't boot the computer. i can barely boot using the installation cd, but even that one just gives me a busybox initramfs prompt. so, my next step was to chroot the drive on which ubuntu resides, but everything is painfully slow in chroot. doing an aptitude search takes minuts. any vague idea which part(s) got screwed up? [01:43] xfcentral: I have a fairly new computer, core i7, dual radeonhd 4800, etc etc, and it's seeming to hang on the installer when starting bluetooth. Any ideas? [01:43] sebsebseb: lol [01:43] xfcentral [01:44] sebsebseb: i've used both Wubi and Ubuntu on a dedicated partition, and i never noticed "performance" differences for example. there are subtle differences but as a regular user none to beat yourself up over if you use Wubi [01:44] xfcentral: My bad.. I googled with no luck. I remember having an error with wubi like udevd 6000 modprobe abnormal exit or something. [01:44] is there a plugin for Awstats that'll show JUST the stats for rsync? [01:44] Nalf: can you disable BT from the BIOS before installing? [01:44] sebsebseb, in those two sentences you could have done it [01:44] XFCEntral: well if you do wubi and Windows buggers up properly, so does Ubuntu [01:44] CrimsonScythe, i would guess somtjhing hardware wise broke. if the live cd is even acting up... or came loose.. package installs.. can NOT affect the live cd booting stuff. [01:45] sebsebseb: its funny seeing how their are directed at you instead of me [01:45] thats always a downside but you can assume that risk [01:45] dr_willis: If the live cd freezes on boot you think there is a hardware issue? [01:45] Dr_willis: not sure what would have broken when rebooting, though. [01:45] mezy, Having a separate /home partition makes it easier for you to reinstall Ubuntu while preserving your personal files and settings. This is a matter of convenience but is not foolproof. You should still regularly back up your data. [01:45] sory mezy my mistake [01:46] Nalf, if it used to work.. and now it dosent.. somthing has changed.. yes... [01:46] dr_willis: Ahh, ok. Well it never worked in the first place so I guess I'll keep probing elsewhere for issues. ^_^ [01:46] CrimsonScythe, open the case up.. check wires.. dust it out.. chase out the mouse.. (oh what was on MY server ) [01:46] this late night stuff is making my typing skillz worse [01:46] mezy: just partition your hard disk and stop being a noob LOL :d seriosuly wubi, ubuntu virtual machine, or putting on a usb stick, not always, but a lot of the time, it's for noobs that are afraid to partition their hard disk. "oh no I might wipe windows" no you won't if you know what your doing [01:47] <_Linuxx_> nalf, try acpi=off [01:47] sebsebseb: remember this is my brother computer [01:47] Dr_willis: yeah, i'll have to check again. hmm. i did change one thing. i doubled the amount of memory to 8GB. i didn't think that'd make a negative impact. let me try again [01:47] mezy: oh are you the [01:47] sebsebseb: what about having ubuntu on a usb for a thing client? [01:47] mezy: ah ha [01:47] mezy: oh your that 16 year old that wanted to put on his brothers computer? [01:47] ya... [01:47] linuxx: I have no blank cds and I'm trying to install from a usb drive now. Having issues in that area currently. [01:48] mezy: ok fine, I guess you got a reason to do it from USB stick then, for now at least [01:48] sebsebseb: yup [01:48] <_Linuxx_> nalf, you should still be able to turn acpi off [01:48] after that the police come after you mezy!!! [01:48] CrimsonScythe, the sytem can handle that much? :) [01:48] XFCEntral: no his brother might die of shock, if he see's Grub when he boots up the lap top [01:48] XFCEntral: he might be like wtf is that? [01:49] _Linuxx_, I used this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/live-ubuntu-810-usb-persistent-install-windows/ persisent installer, and the menus don't look quite like the livecd menus. [01:49] as opposed to not seeing grub with a dedicated install? [01:49] because, i see it... [01:49] Using that I am unaware of how to append acpi=off. [01:49] how do i fix rars with par files throug hthe command line? [01:49] I tried to install mono, but then I looked at synapstic manager, and saw that ot was already installed, but how do I runit to use it [01:49] hi [01:49] <_Linuxx_> let me look at it.. [01:49] mezy: I thought you said it was getting issues with WIndows though as well?

I am trying to install a package that depends on libgadu3. synaptic tells me its there, but package manager still claims dependency is not satisfied [01:51] it wont play 3D games. [01:51] grkblood13: It's not case sensitive. What are you looking for? [01:52] Anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot a network problem? My Ubuntu box will work fine 1/2 of the time, but the other 1/2 of the time the network just crawls, while my Windows box does fine 100% of the time [01:52] <_Linuxx_> nalf, can you see that message i sent you?? [01:52] im looking for how to use par files to fix rar files [01:53] I found one popst and modified my aorg.conf so it should not go into hibernate but the desktop still locks up after about 10 min of inactivity and will not wake up [01:53] <|Kamen|> I am also having the same issue with another package depending on gtk20-0. according to snaptic, its there, but package manger still says no. I've reinstalled both packages, still no dice [01:54] I pressed ungroup items on the pidgin chat window and now I can't group them back together :\ [01:54] any idea? [01:55] how can I start mono? [01:55] <_Linuxx_> fearful, im am checking out my pidgin now... [01:55] fearful - how did you ungroup them? [01:55] crdlb sorry for delay, friends internet cut out [01:55] _Linuxx_, ok I found nothing, I right clicked by the smiley's and hit ungroup [01:55] I've set up dnsmasq and i ping and dig a few local names i've set up. but not one that has no domain name. ie i can ping foo.bar.com but not foo [01:56] but yea, after multiple attempts authentication fails [01:56] it is not 128bit wep [01:56] the password is indeed ascii [01:56] i get a flash error everytime i try to access flash stuff online [01:56] How can I fix a broken login? [01:56] silentContender: Define broken? [01:56] how do i fix the flash error? [01:56] <|Kamen|> is it possible to force package manager to install even if it thinks dependencies are not satisfied? [01:56] jdfoote2, that was for you the message I sent to _Linuxx_ [01:57] crdlb googling i can see i'm not the only person with the issue either [01:57] |Kamen|: sure, but it doesn't really make sense to do that [01:57] |Kamen|: technically. But its better to just fix the fact that it doesn't think theyre satisfied (find a deb for Ubuntu, or others) [01:57] |Kamen|: apt-get install -f * ? [01:57] <|Kamen|> these packages are debs [01:57] how do i fix flash error? [01:57] Flannel, logging in from KDM kicks me to console. Console won't even let me login. It just prompts for my user/pass everytime I enter it. Log files seem to point at either getty or login process (I think it getty though) [01:57] hi [01:57] CShadowRun, you could also try wicd [01:57] |Kamen|: where are you getting the packages? [01:58] b1n42y without an internet connection? :P [01:58] Flannel, I get a SEGV signal when logging in [01:58] fearful, I figured that - I can't see where you got that option - right-clicking on an individual's name? [01:58] hi guys :-) === andyh2 is now known as andyh2|away [01:58] |Kamen|: "debs" aren't necessarily for Ubuntu (or your version of Ubuntu) [01:58] <|Kamen|> getting them here: http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=pidgin [01:58] | [01:58] CShadowRun, also wep is somewhat outdates and insecure compared to wpa [01:59] |Kamen|: pidgin is installed by default already [01:59] jdfoote2, nope by the fonts and smilies and all those on the chatwindow [01:59] b1n42y yea, it's just to keep random people off [01:59] found it [01:59] i needed to d/l par2 [01:59] 99% of the world isn't into wep cracking :p [01:59] and if they are, they are probably into wpa cracking too ;) [01:59] <|Kamen|> ya its installed but its broken for ICQ [01:59] Some MP3s suddenly Stopped working properly what to do?

[02:00] <|Kamen|> and the dependies its claiming arent there ARE from the ubuntu repos [02:00] CShadowRun, im pretty sure wicd only does wep, hex , passphrase and shared/restricted [02:00] well i know for a fact wep ascii is in hardy, i'm looking at it [02:00] all my computers run hardy because intrepid caused me various nightmares (like this one :D) [02:00] |Kamen|: pastebin the errors [02:00] Does anyone know how ubuntu works with those linksys wireless usb adapters?

[03:46] hello, everytime i start linux.. when is loading... it keeps about 10 seconds loading this: piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: Host SMBus controller not enabled! [03:46] any idea? [03:46] if i wouldn't like you guys so much... [03:46] anyone willing to help a noobie set up ubuntu as we speak? I'm on step 4 of 7 in the partitioning area [03:46] yeah guys, the camera (as far as ubuntu is concerned) just doesn't seem to exist. It doesn't even mount or anything. The camera also seems to be getting no signal from my comp... It's in the correct mode, so I'm at a loss for what to do [03:46] HIjustme, im kind of lost, trying to google it [03:46] r3nt4c0p: what do you need to know? [03:46] genesismachine: What make and model of camera? [03:47] genesismachine: Does dmesg detect its presence? [03:47] r3nt4c0p: sure, if you have questions, you can ask me, but I don't know for how I'll be on [03:47] usser:ok, so basically my gfx IS installed but not configured or something? [03:47] my options are Guided-use entire disk, or manual...i'm on a computer with XP and I'd rather not wipe the disk [03:47] I need to use ETTERCAP on SQUID ? is it possible? [03:47] gonewestcoast: canon powershot sd770is. There's no info online regarding it + ubuntu. I don't know what dmesg is, gimme a sec to look up [03:47] r3nt4c0p: use manual [03:48] scanning [03:48] HIjustme, it might be a bug in xorg. seems like a lot of ppl have a similar issue [03:48] r3nt4c0p: make a 5 GB / with ext3, 1024 MB for swap with swap and the rest for /home with ext3 [03:48] I'm on Intrepid Ibex and my computer won't recognize any CDs. It used to recognize them no problem. Whether it is an Ubuntu CD, a CD with software on, or a blank CD, nothing is registered and nothing shows up in /media/cdrom. What can I do? [03:48] leave the ntfs/hpfs partition untouched [03:49] HIjustme, can you pastebin the results of dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video [03:49] HIjustme, also are you sure your system is completely up to date? [03:49] usser: ok. how do i know if it is? [03:50] usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129070/ [03:51] How do you show the names for things on your panel across the top in Gnome Ubuntu? [03:51] gonewestcoast: I typed in dmesg before and after, and then 10 seconds after plugging in, and it still doesn't show anything different [03:51] Can anyone help me setup a DLink DWL-G520 wireless card? [03:51] akurei: while you're at it, avoid insulting entire cultures/countries. That would also be agains the channel code of conduct. [03:51] HIjustme, you don't. just basically search the ubuntu's launchpad for similar bugs if none are exist open a bug and attach all relevant information your /etc/X11/xorg.conf your Xorg.0.log the results of dpkg command, groups [03:51] against, even [03:51] HIjustme: according to that forum post, it was working fine a week ago [03:51] genesismachine: Then it's either not connecting, or not detecting. Even with a lack of driver support it'll show something. Hardware fault somewhere. [03:51] tritium: salt in my wounds [03:51] hi, this question was asked before without answer ....how do I know what version of ubuntu I have? [03:51] thanks [03:51] but aye [03:51] HIjustme, the card is there it recognizes it fine, just cant enable drm [03:52] HIjustme: what have you done since to break it? :) === Charlie_ is now known as Charc [03:52] HIjustme, thats intrepid right? lsb_release -a [03:53] crdlb: where did it say it was working fine? its never been fine, always Low FPS :( [03:53] test [03:53] HIjustme: post 17: direct rendering = yes [03:53] usser 8.04 [03:53] !release ! akurei [03:53] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:53] | [03:53] !release | akurei [03:53] akurei: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months.

[03:54] gonewestcoast: I'm reluctant to believe it's a hardware issue since it's a straight out of the box new camera... let me reboot and check in os x if the problem also exists there [03:54] HIjustme: that is a very slow GPU, and intel doesn't have much motivation to optimize it, but it was working a week ago [03:54] sebsebseb: i know i was being condascedning [03:54] thanks [03:54] sfuentes: no, but yes it works in Ubuntu, but I know how can phone loads of countires for free [03:54] Nasra: lsb_release -a [03:54] HIjustme, try enabling backports repository in synaptic see if there's an update for xorg-intel driver [03:54] nasra: system -> about ubuntu [03:54] sebsebseb: okay, so what?

[03:59] HIjustme, pretty much any of them should work, but then again hardy should work fine with it as well [03:59] tritium: 8.04 [03:59] ok sorrrry [03:59] sebsebseb: star trek = futuristic ... is all i meant [03:59] HIjustme: try 8.10, then [04:00] hi room [04:00] tritium, that will work? (more fps in et) :) [04:00] b1n42y: I don't watch Star Trek, Futurama is a good show. anyway this is off topic [04:00] true [04:00] gonewestcoast: i have a usb flash that needs formating, since im dualbooting i was wondering what fs would be the better/safer one for the flash disk. [04:00] my downloaded Ubuntu .iso passed md5, but the disk i burned won't boot [04:01] usser: my game wont run now :( [04:01] anahata: have you got bios to boot from cd [04:01] HIjustme: I don't know what problem you have specific to your hardware. Intel graphics have always been supported. At any rate, it's always best to try the latest release when you're having issues. [04:01] i *thought* i did [04:01] anahata:did you verify the disk after burning? [04:01] verify with md5? i did md5 [04:01] tritium:ok [04:01] !md5 [04:01] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:01] i can't check the cd for errors because it won't boot to that screen [04:02] anahata: md5 download and md5 burned iso [04:02] anahata: no you check the ISO [04:02] oh ok brb [04:02] hello all [04:02] tritium: how do i completely remove 8.04 so i can install a higher version? [04:02] wait - md5 the .iso or the burned cd? [04:02] HIjustme, im reluctant to suggest to upgrade from long term support distribution just because of a buggy driver but it seems like a chance [04:02] anahata:did you verify the iso file you download from the net and the one on your disk or the burned disk? [04:02] i didn't burn the .iso, i burned the cd [04:02] anahata: yes and also is your BIOS set up to boot from CD? [04:02] brb [04:03] usser:ok [04:03] lemme check the .iso [04:03] HIjustme: you can either upgrade, or do a completely new install [04:03] I unstall the 64 bit version and I install the 32 bit instead everything works fine for me now. [04:03] thanks to you all [04:03] tritium: upgrade will be easier i think [04:03] etzerd: thanks for calling come back soon [04:03] anahata: if you did not burn the iso then most likely you might have just an iso on the cd and not the filesystem [04:03] now how can I install and play DVD? [04:03] actually brb, i'm gonna go check my bios settings bbs! [04:03] HIjustme: before you do either, I'd boot from the LiveCD, and see if it works as you expect it to. [04:03] etzerd: VLC [04:03] kitche: what? i burned a cd from iso [04:03] how can I get that? [04:04] kitche: the cd actually works partially because it asked me if i wanted to install within windows [04:04] HIjustme, right as tritium said boot into livecd and see if you get direct rendering on it [04:04] like right now an ubuntu m enu comes up [04:04] HIjustme, ie glxinfo | grep direct has to say yes [04:04] etzerd: sudo apt-get install vlc [04:04] does it matter if a preseed file's options are in order? [04:04] ok [04:04] etzerd: or use synaptic [04:04] thanks [04:04] usser:ok, so i just put the cd in then what :D [04:05] is there a gui tool that controls which services load on boot? [04:05] Y it is necessary to install build-essential if I want to install Ruby on Rails on my Ubuntu 8.10 System? [04:05] etb: bum [04:05] etb: System -> Administration -> Services [04:05] wait - i did check the .iso with md5, that's what i downloaded.. now to look at the cd [04:05] HIjustme, boot from it, open terminal and type glxinfo | grep direct [04:06] usser: ok [04:06] if my hard drive was failing, would I have any clues/warnings to alert me to it? [04:06] ok i don't see any hashes for the ubuntu cd, just for the .iso .... what are you guys talking about to check the cd?

Im looking for a version of the "old english" type fonts but failing miserably [04:09] Good night, HIjustme. [04:09] anahata : the iso file is a image that you burn a cd , you dont burn the file, you burn the image contain in it. after you download the iso file, you check it whti the md5 provided on the download location, if both are the same, you can burn the image using the iso file, with the burning program after burning it, you can check it [04:09] usser: thanks mate, im off to bed now, 4:04am here [04:09] HIjustme, no problem, hope you fix it [04:09] uvacav: Droid and Liberation are popular right now, but neither are loopy handwriting if that's what you are looking for. [04:09] usser, tritium, if its still broke then you will see me pretty soon on here :D [04:10] HIjustme: I'll be here. [04:10] In my star menu somewhere? I used to have an entry to install Ubuntu 8.10 on a USB stick, It seems to have dissapeared,where do I find it [04:11] hey tritium: sorry about bad language. been in som ekind of bad modd since yesterday... won't happen again [04:11] akurei: no worries.

I can manually mount the CD. How do I get it to mount automatically when I put it in? [04:16] qcjn: you need at least 2.16 [04:16] ryanprior:most of the time it's a permission problem [04:16] b1n42y well thats is waht i ve installed [04:17] qcjn: but version of GLib is 2.14.2 [04:17] qcjn: what are you building?

[04:20] b1n42y crdlb the learning is the same [04:20] math: Apparently it just doesn't bother to scan the CD when I put it in the drive. [04:20] b1n42y: No. Just died after trying to get wireless working. [04:20] b1n42y: Reboot didn't help, either. [04:20] qcjn: but ubuntu 1) has it in the repos and 2) has a new enough glib in hardy and above [04:21] b1n42y crdlb and compiling will be useful to in ubuntu, that i have [04:21] qcjn: however, gmpc 0.14 will work on your distro's version of glib [04:21] ryanprior:after all you just insert a cd, it's not if you absolutely want to access it! [04:21] since that's what was in ubuntu gutsy [04:22] b1n42y: /etc/init.d/networking restart failed also [04:22] qcjn: One of the assumptions we make here is that you can use apt-get and the Ubuntu repositories to get the software that you need. When those assumptions do not hold, we don't give effective help. Please join ##linux for more general help -- there are many informative and friendly people in that channel. [04:22] crdlb so you suggest that i get gmpc 0.14 [04:22] Anyone got any ideas about how to restore eth0? [04:23] hello everbody [04:23] math: Do you know if there is a way to explicitly require that my computer scans CDs as they are inserted? [04:23] simple dillema, can I setup the mtu on wlan0 ? [04:23] omer24: what did you do when trying to get wireless working [04:24] ryanprior thanks [04:24] ryanprior:no I dont know the process normally responsible of doing that [04:24] thanks to b1n42y & crdlb [04:24] DreamThief: In most cases FAT. [04:24] see ya [04:24] b1n42y: Wireless is working, kind of.. but there seems to be an issue with the adapter. Works neother in Ubuntu nor Vista. Wired was working fine. Selecting a wireless connection froze Ubuntu. [04:25] I'm trying to print using some certificates that I bought at staples. Unfortunately, I see the text I printed also offset part way, probably because it was still on the roller. I had the paper set to plain in the printing options. What thickness should I use? Bond? Thick Paper? [04:25] I added the config in /etc/network/interfaces but the mtu does not change even after reboot [04:25] math: Well at least now I have a better idea of what questions to ask, and I know that it's a software problem rather than a hardware problem. [04:25] I'm having trouble mounting an NTFS-formatted flash drive on Ubuntu 8.04. How can I fix this? [04:25] ghindo: "having trouble" is too vague for us to give effective help. Can you describe the problem more precisely? [04:25] omer24: what does Works neother in Ubuntu nor Vista. mean [04:26] ryanprior:maybe hal [04:26] what is the syntax to back up the /home/ dir to a remote box? [04:26] b1n42y: Forget wireless for a moment.. it's wired I;m worried about.. it's a Sony laptop, and wireless doesn't properly connect in Vista either. [04:27] jeeves: there are many ways you could do that, really. rsync is a good one -- you can read the man page. [04:27] jeeves: here's a hint: rsync -av host: /dest [04:28] omer24: have you tried resetting router [04:28] b1n42y: I'm looking for a command or 2 to restore my eth0 connection. [04:28] Hello everyone. I need help formatting a fat32 USB into the ext3 file system in order for me to make a Start Up Ubuntu USB drive. [04:28] ryanprior, I'm trying to use "rsync /home/*.* jeeves@remote_host.ca:/backup" [04:28] jeeves: how are you? Take a look at sbackup, it can do remote backup and restores. [04:28] I did fdisk /media/disk ,but i got this error "I don't know how to handle files with mode 40700 [04:28] You will not be able to write the partition table. [04:28] " [04:28] ryanprior: Sure. When I plug in the flash drive, I get the error message "Cannot mount volume," followed by more details. Should I post the entirety of the error message? [04:28] b1n42y: Not tried that, working ok with my xp laptop. [04:29] jeeves: I suggest using the -av flags. Look them up in the manual, if you haven't already. If you're getting some sort of error, let's hear it. [04:29] n2diy, I'd like to get rdiff-backup to work properly from a windows box to this Linux box [04:30] ghindo: It is helpful for us to see exact error messages. If the message is more than a couple lines long, please use pastebin so that it doesn't take up space in the channel. [04:30] !pastebin | ghindo [04:30] ghindo: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:30] My screen just randomly dims has nothing to do with power settings [04:30] omer24: could be to do with leases and the fact you where fiddling with stuff, i had problems with NM till i switched to wicd, so theres another option that you can try for your wireless ( but that sounds like hardware maybe) [04:30] I'm on toshiba a105-s4074 [04:30] jeeves: ah, ok, can't help with the Windows side of things, unless it is 95? [04:30] How can i format a USB drive? [04:31] jhonnyboy: gparted [04:31] b1n42y: Thanks, I'll look into that. [04:31] n2diy, no worries [04:31] jhonnyboy, mke2fs /dev/sdxx [04:31] Titan: it is a USB drive. I tried fdisk /media/disk but that didn't work. [04:31] tacosarecool: I also have a toshiba a105-s with the same problem. I've had to work all sorts of ACPI hacks to keep the screen from dimming, keep the USB subsystem from shorting out, etc. That's a really fun computer to run Ubuntu on, believe you me. [04:32] jhonnyboy, thats not its device name, that is its mount point [04:32] jhonnyboy, sudo fdisk -l [04:32] jhonnyboy, that will give you the device name, you can use gparted GUI as suggested [04:33] found it :) [04:33] /dev/sdc [04:33] I hope this is fixed in januty [04:33] jhonnyboy, also, you will probably want to do mkfs.vfat if you want it to be readable in linux [04:33] how to view the wireless network connection password, which is stored previously ..???? [04:33] jhonnyboy, err windows I mean [04:33] oh yeah 8.04 ran well though [04:33] just not 8.10 [04:33] ryanprior: Nevermind, I figured it out on my own. Thanks for the help anyway! [04:33] ghindo: It's best when problems resolve themselves! If something goes awry, come and ask again. [04:33] Titan: all i want it for is as a Ubuntu Startup USB [04:33] ryan did you have a problem when you were on 8.04 [04:34] jhonnyboy, then format it in ext with the first suggested command [04:34] the mke2fs? [04:34] jhonnyboy, yes [04:34] mke2fs /dev/sdc? [04:34] tacosarecool: I forget, to be honest. Every time a new Ubuntu comes out it's new problems with that laptop. What I do is keep a bunch of kernels on it and make notes on which ones are the best, so that I can submit hints to the kernel team. [04:35] jhonnyboy, you may want to create a partition with fdisk [04:35] Where can I find a description of the Firefox plugin 'ubiquity'? Entering 'about:ubiquity' in Firefox's input line does not produce any result with me. [04:35] tacosarecool: I haven't tested Jaunty on that laptop yet, but you can download the alpha LiveCD and try it if you're feeling adventurous. [04:35] jhonnyboy, I know that it is usually not needed for media like that but I am not sure how it affects the drive being bootable [04:35] k === rachel is now known as Guest46681 [04:35] how to view the wireless network connection password, which is stored previously ..???? [04:36] Titan: making a partition in ubuntu automatically makes it a ext3? so i can boot off of it? [04:36] TooR4u: maybe in router? 192.168.0.1 [04:36] jhonnyboy, no fdisk creates partitions, mke2fs formats that partition to ext2 [04:36] TooR4u: Applications -> Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys, I believe. [04:36] jhonnyboy, then its readdy [04:37] Titan : Thank you for all your help [04:37] ryanprior: i dont think he will find it there === Gnea_ is now known as Gnea [04:38] b1n42y: Well, they are definitely stored somewhere other than the router. [04:39] b1n42y: Whenever you tell the computer to remember a password, it puts it somewhere; and I think that's where it puts its wireless keys. [04:39] ryanprior: i just checked [04:40] b1n42y: In that case, I think perhaps network-manager keeps them. If you right-click on network-manager-applet and click "edit connections", does it have the listing there? [04:40] Can someone kindly help me with a regexp problem? [04:41] ryanprior: right-click on the NetworkManager icon -> Edit Connections -> Wireless Tab -> Choose Connection -> Edit [04:41] ryanprior: only place ..lol was gona say that but he said prior passwords as if to say hes used a different one [04:41] !anyone | selocol [04:41] selocol: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:41] I can't figure out the regexp for "[bob]" in the string "bob bob [bob] bob"? Why isn't it "\\B[bob]\\B"? Thanks for any help!! [04:41] tc111: Ah, that makes sense. It's too bad that they aren't both places. [04:42] !ask | selocol [04:42] selocol: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:42] salut tout le monde! [04:42] ryanprior: too bad he left before he got his answer... impatience. [04:42] "[bob] matches the letters b or o. so, "bob [bob] bob" matches "bob b bob" or "bob o bob" [04:43] ryanprior: i don't understand? [04:43] tc111: Oh well. Now everybody paying attention in the room has it fresh in their memories and can answer when he comes back. amirite? [04:43] ryanprior: what regexp can recognize the brackets? [04:43] ryanprior: too true [04:43] selocol: anything in brackets [] means to match one of the letters in the brackets [04:44] ryanprior: but when I just use "[bob]" it returns all bob's, even the ones w/o brackets [04:45] selocol: I suggest that you read this, then reconsider your question: http://rute.2038bug.com/node8.html.gz [04:45] ryanprior: thanks [04:45] hi guyz.. [04:46] do you know anything about pitivi? [04:46] is it similar to movie maker. ? [04:46] it's a video editor [04:46] /join #ubuntu+1 [04:46] im a newbie in ubunut.. [04:46] anybody there.? [04:47] hey whats the best way to make runlevel 3 boot to a terminal and not load the gdm [04:48] I am trying to use UNetbootin to install ubuntu to my PC from my usb drive. I can boot fine from the partition, but when it loads (I assume it's grub that's loading) the characters displayed are all unreadable. Like if you try to open up docx in wordpad or something. Any ideas on how to get around that? [04:48] SEVILLA, disable GDM from system>administration>services [04:48] Nalf: It sounds like something is very fundamentally wrong. Perhaps the image is corrupted. [04:48] SEVILLA, although, that may not go into runlevel 3, I forgot what the default runlevel is. [04:49] Ryanprior, I have tried several images and I have even redownloaded UNetbootin. [04:49] Nalf: have you tried Ubuntu's supported flash-drive install creator? [04:49] Peddy: the default is runlevel 2 i guess i could use the init command to switch to run 3 [04:50] Nalf: (System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk) [04:50] Ryanprior: I have no Ubuntu OS at my disposal, otherwise I would. ^_- I'm trying to get around having to go out and buy some blank cds. Horrible, I know. [04:50] SEVILLA, I think 5 is the default runlevel... I could be wrong, but in any case, disabling gdm should stop X starting, which is pretty much runlevel 3 [04:51] Nalf: Perhaps you could use WUBI? [04:51] where cna i download Ubuntu Vista ? [04:51] I try to add komodo edit to my path variable with this.. sudo export PATH="~/Komodo-Edit-5/bin:$PATH" [04:51] but when I exit bash and open it again when i type komodo it doesnt exist [04:51] Peddy: no it should be 2 type runlevel in your terminal [04:51] meshuggah: gnome-look and deviantart both have themes which make Ubuntu look more like Microsoft Windows Vista. I suggest you search those places. [04:51] ryan I got it to stop dimming [04:51] how can i fix my path? [04:51] tacosarecool: Great. What trick did you use? [04:51] I unchecked it in battery power [04:52] the dimming [04:52] coreyman: That's a good question for #bash [04:52] Even though it's plugged in to ac [04:52] gnome? [04:52] tacosarecool: Ah. When you said it didn't have to do with power management, I assumed you had already explored that route. [04:52] no window ? [04:52] Ryanprior: I ran into install issues with WUBI that I couldn't resolve. I suppose I could try it again. It had something to do with.. udevd 6000 sbin/modprobe abnormal exit.. it would hang up for about five minutes, and then it loaded a little bit more and failed around initializing bluetooth?.. [04:52] ryanprior or how about ubuntu... since this has to do with ubuntu path variable and not bash [04:52] Nalf: yikes. I hardly know what to say -- it sounds like everything is failing. [04:53] anyone know anything about vsftpd complaing it can't load RSA key ? [04:53] SEVILLA, ok. I don't even think ubuntu uses runlevel 3...https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-August/090227.html [04:53] coreyman: You might get an answer here if you keep asking, but the path is a shell variable and Ubuntu's shell is Bash, and #bash exists explicitly to deal with bash issues. You'll probably get a satisfactory response if you ask there. [04:53] someone talked to me about partitian and 2 boot with MS windows [04:53] suspend shows a black screen and i cant reaccess my computer [04:54] still laggy [04:54] maybe not [04:54] Ryanprior: Thanks so much for your help. I'll give it a shot. [04:54] Nalf: I hope it works better this time. [04:54] ryan does it lag for you? [04:54] can someone tell me why Handbrake is not in the repos? or a lot of other video tools? [04:54] and how do I make ubuntu run 3 hours on battery power like windows [04:54] Brando753: That often happens due to problems with graphics drivers which only the manufacturers can fix. [04:55] How can I enable emerald window manager in ubuntu? [04:55] tacosarecool: Does what lag? [04:55] tacosarecool: My a105-s gets terrible battery life under Ubuntu, usually less than 45 minutes. [04:55] Peddy: you sure cause im using 8.10 and 8.04 and they have runlevels [04:55] ubuntu [04:55] it lags me [04:55] tacosarecool: I've found no way to date to improve that. [04:56] Peddy: yes, it does. [04:56] !runlevels | Peddy [04:56] Peddy: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [04:56] tacosarecool: unfortunately, lag is a really vague term. It could be disk I/O with swapping, or CPU spikes due to running processes, or graphics card issues... [04:56] Can someone please tell me how to enable emerald window manager in ubuntu === zgmf-x42s_ is now known as project2501 [04:57] coty: emerald no longer is maintained or supported in Ubuntu. We suggest using Compiz now. [04:57] SEVILLA, you can edit runlevel startup programs using sysv-rc-conf, and then change the runlevel using init 3 === project2501 is now known as Guest95856 [04:57] Peddy: ubuntu/debian don't use runlevel 3 [04:58] Anyone here have any experience with the Dell Inspiron 1525n? Please pm me if so.. === Lincid is now known as false [04:58] ryanprior, Ok well I made the update to 9.04 and the window manager that compiz uses isn't displaying and no one in #ubuntu+1 is answering me on how to get the window manager back. === eric_ is now known as talntid [04:58] Peddy: ok [04:58] !pm | Unikraken [04:58] Unikraken: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:58] ryanprior, After I enabled compiz it just disappeared on me. [04:58] !anyone | Unikraken [04:58] What kind of socket looks like a Socket 7, but it has a hatch that opens, you insert the cpu, close the hatch, and then the hatch clamp? [04:58] Unikraken: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? === zgmf-x42s_ is now known as proj3ct2501 [04:58] tacosarecool: for power-saving tips, check the post by 'armon_d' here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002878 . remember, YMMV [04:58] coty: That often happens if your graphics card reports that it does not support render extensions. [04:58] SEVILLA: you don't want to use runlevel 3 [04:58] coty: metacity --replace & [04:59] tritium, ubottu says that all runlevels are by default the same, which means he can probably change them using that sysv-rc-conf thing. [04:59] n2diy: try ##hardware [04:59] SEVILLA, if you don't mind me asking, why do you want to get into runlevel 3? [04:59] talntid, thank you so MUCH! [04:59] scunizi, ok thanks. [04:59] Peddy: so i can boot staight to shell === pekalongan is now known as lailae [05:00] ryanprior, I don't understand why it would since it didn't in 8.10 [05:00] np :) did it work for ya? [05:00] SEVILLA, if you want to do that, just disable GDM from system>admin>services [05:00] SEVILLA: I'd suggest using Ubuntu Server if you intend to boot to shell. [05:00] Trying to diagnose hang in 8.10 - I believe problem is related to an ACX111 based wireless card. Help walking through confirming this problem, and documenting it would be very much appreciated [05:00] SEVILLA: that is not the correct method. Ubuntu/Debian don't use runlevel 3. [05:00] ryanprior, So does compiz not support geforce 6200 now or something? [05:01] !wireless | unmonkey, start here [05:01] unmonkey, start here: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:01] coty, did it work for you? [05:01] ryan does ubuntu lag for you though? [05:01] talntid, yes thank you VERY! much [05:01] no problem [05:01] SEVILLA: see the "update-rc.d" method here to disable gdm on boot: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start [05:01] and compiz does support the 6200 [05:01] tacosarecool: Yes, it lags in many different ways, but it's quite usable; so if your lag is unbearable, there's probably something bad going on. [05:01] tritium: what do you suggest im just trying stuff out to see how it works [05:01] talntid, why won't the window manager work then? [05:02] SEVILLA: see above [05:02] !lag toshiba a105-s0474 [05:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:02] oh it sometimes is unbearable [05:02] Please help with frequent VLC crashes details -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m52de18c7 [05:02] tritium: and what just disable the symbolic link [05:02] SEVILLA: follow the update-rc.d method, if you want to disable gdm [05:03] !nvidia | coty, this might be interesting for you to read [05:03] coty, this might be interesting for you to read: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:03] ryanprior, thank you will look into it [05:04] ryanprior, I've already installed the restricted drivers [05:05] ryanprior, it says that the card works "out of the box", but dmesg really seems to indicate that the failure is there - I can paste if that'd be helpful [05:05] ryanprior, I wonder if the problem has to do with the driver I'm using which is 180. I don't remember that driver ever supporting 6200 but ubuntu recommended it for some reason. [05:05] tritium: i read somewhere that i could just delet the symbolic link S30Gdm and create a inittab file with id:3:initdefault: and it would work [05:06] coty: I think that's covered somewhere in the documentation, but I don't deal with nvidia hardware myself so I'm really not fresh. I've always had ATI cards. [05:06] SEVILLA: try what you wish [05:06] tritium: this is in etc/rc3.d [05:07] ryanprior, Do you think what ever it will be fixed in the final release? [05:07] ryanprior, I really don't want to give up compiz [05:07] SEVILLA: not the method I'd pursue, but do as you wish [05:07] ryan do you think if I got a new harddrive for the laptop it would be less laggy [05:07] coty you can use the 173 successfully with that card [05:08] ok so it is the driver then [05:08] tritium: k i will look into yours and get back to you [05:08] unmonkey: Paste-binning the answers could be helpful. Also, if you don't get an answer here make sure you cross-post to the Ubuntu Forums, which are browsed by many knowledgeable people. Also, file a bug report. Wireless cards really really shouldn't be locking Ubuntu up. Really. [05:08] coty: probably.. I had to go the other direction and install the 180.29 for my 8200 card.. [05:08] SEVILLA: it's not "mine", per se. That's the debian/ubuntu way of doing things. There is no runlevel 3. [05:08] why would they recommend 180 if its not supported [05:09] coty: We can hope everything will be fixed eventually; but because some things are problems with the closed drivers, and the graphics subsystems are going under some pretty major revisions anyway, I dare not prognosticate things getting better in the short term. [05:09] coty: its just the latest.. I had a 6600 gt agp previously and the 173 was fine. faster than what I'm using now on the 8200 [05:10] Inteprid was at first the worst upgrade I did it's okay now though [05:10] tritium: ok thanks for the tip [05:10] ryanprior, Big changes hmm wonder what there changing in the graphics [05:11] tacosarecool: Expect many worse upgrades in the future. Software is tricky and messy, especially in areas like graphics and sound, so we're bound to make big mistakes. Always file bug reports and try to buy hardware that has Free drivers available. [05:11] So once the final release comes out I won't have to reinstall will I? all I have to do is install the patches...I hope [05:11] would gtx 260 be a good card [05:12] coty: final release? there's never a final release [05:12] Scunizi, true... [05:12] coty: Cool stuff is afoot. We're getting a new direct render interface, the graphics execution manager, kernel mode setting, NVIDIA is rolling out this whole VDPAU framework for decoding video on the GPU, lots of new stuff. [05:12] Scunizi, been using ubuntu since 6.06 :D [05:13] ryanprior, sounds pretty cool! :D [05:13] coty: I jumped on at the tail end of Beezy [05:13] what does this mean? athenon@subaru:~$ crontab crontab [05:13] /var/spool/cron/crontabs/tmp.0vEpwz: Permission denied [05:13] brb need to restart and see if using these drivers fixes the problem === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [05:13] coty, ryanprior: under 8.04LTS and 8.10, only 173 and 177 are available either from 'envyng' or 'hardware drivers'. however, 180 is available in ubuntu+1 (i.e. 9.04)... did you pull 180 directly from nVidia? [05:14] well, now I can't cause it to break. Darn? [05:14] tc111: 180 is available in 8.10 [05:14] !info nvidia-glx-180 [05:14] tc111: add the medibuntu repos and you'll get it [05:14] nvidia-glx-180 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver. In component restricted, is optional. Version 180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 (intrepid), package size 9046 kB, installed size 26444 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) [05:14] tc111: ^ [05:14] what do the two numbers at the end of the line in /etc/fstab mean.. like this UUID=aaa3b110-9b55-4fdd-8801-0d9acc321d20 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [05:15] tritium: manual compile or install directly from nvidia or from envyng or system->administration->hardware drivers? [05:15] tc111: none of the above [05:16] tritium: then the next question that would logically follow... is it technically supported if not available through 'hardware drivers'? [05:17] tc111: it's in the repositories (package name is nvidia-glx-180). Note that nVidia downloads and envy are *not* supported. [05:17] Hello people i was wondering if someone could help me with mounting my second HDD where i installed ubuntu [05:17] Nights [05:17] Does somebody knows about an auto-update of the clock in Ubuntu? [05:17] coreyman: The first says whether or not filesystems need to be dumped, and is usually 0 these days. The second says whether (and in what order) to check filesystems during bootup, and should be 1 for internal Linux partitions. === jm is now known as jmjmjm [05:18] Well compiz still doesn't work [05:18] Akuma_s: yeah, for daylight savings time right === Khyron is now known as oops [05:18] Where can I find that? [05:18] wong channel coty [05:18] Akuma_s: It should do it automatically... === oops is now known as Khyron_TD [05:18] tritium: correct, that's why i only mentioned 'hardware drivers'... which, although present, is for convenience only and not supported... how much more then a package not listed in 'hardware drivers'? [05:18] rww how come i can see /home in my /dev/sda4 and i dont know of ever creating a symbolic link [05:18] meshuggah, lol hey! [05:18] :) [05:18] But I dont need it rww [05:18] Hello people ..i was wondering if someone could help me with mounting my second HDD where i installed ubuntu [05:18] i cant seem to find it [05:19] help, how to play mkv video on my intrepid ibex?? [05:19] looks like I'm not the only one with an NVIDIA driver question... [05:19] lsx, maybe mplayer [05:19] !medibuntu | lsx [05:19] lsx: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:19] tc111: as far as drivers go, we support those in the repositories. Not just those listed in "Hardware Drivers" [05:20] lsx: or maybe mplayer or vlc will do that by default... [05:20] Akuma_s: Your timezone is set in the /etc/timezone file, and should be one of the zoneinfo names (listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zoneinfo_time_zones). If your time got changed automatically, and it shouldn't have been, you probably have that set wrong. [05:20] Ugh i sure hope that compiz gets fixed. [05:20] coreyman: I'm not sure what you're asking... [05:20] my vlc n mplayer cannot play that .. [05:20] tritium: and technically, shouldn't any of these questions be posed in #nvidia?? [05:21] the sound problem [05:21] <|Rad|> usser are u there? [05:21] ok [05:21] i think mine can do it, wait [05:21] tc111: not necessarily. We often answer nvidia driver questions here, when the ubuntu-packaged drivers are in question [05:21] rww ok, i just mounted /dev/sda4, i go to the directory it is mounted in, and i can see $username, and home and lost+found, why [05:21] Oooh I just saw it rww, it is also in menu/system/administration/Time and Date... [05:21] tritium: ok... i'll let it go... no harm, no foul... ;) [05:21] I recently installed the updates shown in Update Manager and (being stupid) I didn't look at what they were. Now the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) doesn't work correctly. What happened/how do I fix it?? [05:21] tc111: :) [05:21] any one else having the problem where while running OoO Writer whenever I hover my mouse over the toolbar buttons (close,minimize,maximize) it does a weird transparency thing (Nvidia 177 drivers) [05:21] I just change it from there, was in the wrong zone, tank you rww... [05:21] Akuma_s: Oh, yeah. I forget about the easier GUI methods sometimes. Thanks for the note :) [05:22] hi all...i want to use my SKYPE id in any of ubuntu IM is it possible ? [05:22] lsx, no i have only flv file not mkv [05:22] yup [05:22] !skype | consoleart [05:22] consoleart: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [05:22] meshuggah, the flv file can play [05:22] but the problem is mkv [05:22] !skype [05:22] coreyman: I assume because you either created a separate /home/ partition at some point, or put the folders there... [05:23] thnx guys... [05:23] hey, i just upgraded from intrepid to jaunty (i know it's alpha, it's in a vm for testing), but whenever i boot, it simply gives me a black screen and the "loading" cursor. does anyone know what the problem is?

[05:24] lsx, i found some for debian lenny, so you probably have in ubuntu they are more up to date [05:24] i have a seperate /home partition, but it isn't /dev/sda4 it's /dev/sda3 [05:24] coreyman: so you are saying that you have just formatted the partition? [05:25] I recently installed the updates shown in Update Manager and (being stupid) I didn't look at what they were. Now the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) doesn't work correctly. What happened/how do I fix it?? [05:25] nanotube yes [05:25] ok [05:25] nanotube i guess i can format it again..... [05:25] coreyman: hrm, that's odd then. lost+found is supposed to be there (it's supposed to be on all ext2/3/4 partitions), but home isn't... Is there anything in there, or is it just an empty directory? [05:25] coreyman: are you sure you formatted the right partition?? [05:25] is there anyone familiar with pure-ftpd here?

Flash video is really crappy and slow on my Ubuntu box...is there anything I can do about it? [05:27] How do I set a mount point for a partition without formating it ? [05:27] meshuggah: vlc is better than mplayer, imho :) [05:27] Jpdota, you, what are you doing here? [05:27] overlord, edit your /etc/fstab [05:27] In Fstab overlord [05:27] nanotube: about:plugins lists a lot of plugins but does not list 'ubiquity'. [05:27] nanotube, i prefer vlc, but mplayer can read everything [05:27] Is there going to be an update to pidgin for ubuntu 8.10? because icq functionality no longer works without an upgrade [05:27] !fstab [05:27] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:27] Akuma_s: thanks!! [05:27] nanotube, maybe i mis-configuer flc [05:27] overlord: formatting a partition and mounting it are completely different operations... if you want to mount automatically, look in /etc/fstab, as others said. if you want to manually mount, look at the "mount" command. [05:27] I take it the whole "it will most certainly break your system in bad ways" notice in the [05:28] Hey gang, I installed the package 'psad' using apt. Then I installed 'psad' using the source files. Now, months later I discover that 'psad' is still in my apt database. How can I remove psad from the database, without distrupting the live files? [05:28] Mulder: there are no updates between releases, aside from security and major bug fixes. [05:28] Jaunty channel is 100 percwet true hah? [05:28] bullgard4: well, then this plugin is not installed... is it a "plugin" or an "extension"? [05:28] nanotube: The drive is not getting detected, so, I cannot mount it. [05:28] meshuggah: i use many distros ;) i'm als o in #fedora-devel and #linuxmint (on spotchat) :P [05:28] I recently installed the updates shown in Update Manager and (being stupid) I didn't look at what they were. Now the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) doesn't work correctly. What happened/how do I fix it?? [05:28] overlord: usb drive? [05:29] Mulder: The German Ubuntu channel says that there is no remedy found yet in a downloadable DEB package format. So please be patient. It will come. [05:29] meshuggah: however, debian is my main OS, because it's the most stable, and it works best with my hardware :) [05:29] bullgard4, alright thanks [05:29] Jpdota, i received a opensolaris cd today(the send free) so i will probably install it tomorrow, i too lazy to do it right now, i worked all day [05:29] Mulder: suggest you use xchat or xchat-gnome instead of pidgin for irc. :) [05:29] Mulder, bullgard4: The relevant bug report is at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340075 . There are links in there to PPAs with the new version of Pidgin that apparently fixes it, and getdeb has .deb files for it too. It'll probably also end up in backports. [05:29] nanotube, icq. i use xchat for irc [05:29] meshuggah: opensolaris is quite nice, i love their ui, it's gnome but with a nice theme [05:29] Jpdota, meshuggah: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat [05:30] Mulder: ah heh, my bad... reading problems at 1.30 am here.. ;) [05:30] rww, yay. [05:30] tritium: roger that [05:30] nanotube, no problem :) [05:30] tritium, sorry i didnt know [05:30] nanotube, i commit worse atrocities when trying to do math at 1.30 [05:30] Hey, can someone help me get my server to share its internet connection [05:30] Jpdota, meshuggah: no worries [05:30] Mulder: hehe, python does my math for me. :) and R. [05:31] I take it the "it will most certainly break your system in bad ways" notice in the Jaunty Jackalope channel is 100 percent true huh? [05:31] nanotube: I do not know exactly but people in a forum spoke about a 'plugin'. [05:31] nanotube, lucky you heh [05:31] Mulder: :) [05:31] nanotube: Nah. Windows Partition [05:31] bullgard4: what is it supposed to do anyway? [05:31] figured out my problem, accidentaly mounted /dev/sda3 twice instead of /sda4 on /mnt/windows [05:32] overlord: try listing all the partitions with "sudo fdisk -l" (that's a lower case L) [05:32] overlord: see if that shows up... [05:32] can someone tell me where to find a full list of available repositories for ubuntu 8.10, im looking for the actual urls [05:32] Guys!! [05:32] 哈哈 === guy is now known as Guest87992 [05:32] nanotube: I installed Windows a yesterday. Reinstalled the grub using the alternate disc of 7.10. And now I cannot boot Win XP. [05:32] anybody knows how to make work nvtv or tv-out please? [05:33] guys, please [05:33] overlord: it seems like neither formatting nor mounting are related to your issue [05:33] overlord: you have a bad grub conf [05:33] zeldarocks, hiya [05:33] ah, I have a grub problem too! [05:33] hi [05:33] Overlord, did you tried dmesg? [05:33] raylu: GParted is not showing a mount point for my patition. [05:33] Akusma_S: no [05:33] overlord: for your windows partition? [05:33] overlord: you can also try the "lspci" command and check all detected devices and search for one w/ the same capacity as your windows drive [05:33] Akuma_s: why would dmesg have anything when he tries to boot xp? === zero is now known as Guest77369 [05:33] Khyron_TD: yea, those grubs just burrow into anything, pesky little critters... :D [05:34] raylu: yes, for my windows partition [05:34] zeldarocks, what's up? [05:34] nanotube: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129101/ [05:34] Check if the HD is detected by the system with that command.. [05:34] my question was: I take it that the "it will most certainly break your system in bad ways" notice in the Ubuntu 9.04 channel is 100 % true huh? [05:34] Lapinux: There are only four official ones: main, restricted, universe, and multiverse. Example sources.list lines for them are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine (it's for hardy, but just replace "hardy" with "intrepid" in the example). [05:34] lol, and then they don't find the darn Windows boot sector >_< [05:34] overlord: having no mountpoint in linux for your windows partition is perfectly fine [05:34] so how can i set the runlevel, or control the runlevel under ubuntu 8.04?? [05:34] Try !dmesg for more info [05:34] huwenfeng: we discussed this earlier this evening. [05:34] zeldarocks, what? [05:34] I've been trying to fix the "NTLDR is missing" problem, but can't figure it out >_< [05:35] overlord: but you'll need to explain what you mean by "the drive is not getting detected." no mount point and not detected are totally different things [05:35] udevd-event[6310]: 'sbin/modprobe/' abnormal exit. When attempting to install my installer hung up at that for about five minutes.. and then it went really fast for a second... until it go to pan0: dropping NetIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. When it got there.. it froze entirely for 15 minutes. Any ideas? ^_^ [05:35] tritium: yes, i've looked through the man pages, and i found , i still do not know how to solve my problem [05:35] zeldarocks: if you're not comfortable with the potential of alpha software breaking your system, don't run jaunty yet [05:35] nanotube: Well, that is part of my curiosity. It is supposed to alleviate/automate the access to Web information sites. For example, one can access time tables of the local Transport Authority in the Web with your own departure site specified. In a way, a tailor-made way of access to Web information systems. [05:35] overlord: well, your windows partitions are all there... but none of them are set to bootable (not sure if they should be? anyone else care to chime in?) [05:35] raylu: I cannot mount the Windows partition. I cannot boot Windows. [05:35] Th ubnutu+1 channel says in the topic (reffering to Jaunty Jackalope alpha) "it will most certainly break your system in bad ways" I take it that the notice is 100 percent true huh? [05:36] !runlevels | huwenfeng (Don't forget this) [05:36] tritium: my problem is , i want to know the sequence of the start and stop of services , or the sequence the init scripts are executed, [05:36] huwenfeng (Don't forget this): In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [05:36] overlord: how are you trying to mount the windows partition? [05:36] zeldarocks, i suggest you to break your system, you will learn more and faster [05:36] zeldarocks: Yes, it's true. I run Jaunty, and my system has broken badly a few times. Thankfully, I know how to fix it, but if you don't, you shouldn't be using it. [05:36] nanotube: s/departure site/departure station [05:36] the jaunty install borked my xorg.conf file [05:36] tritium: then, i can put my script in them, [05:36] raylu: I have no clue how do I mount the drive. [05:36] meshuggah: that's best done with another distro [05:36] is it the norm? [05:36] overlord: ... [05:36] bullgard4: well, google says, go here: http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/ [05:36] zeldarocks: that can certainly happen [05:36] tritium: ok, i will then go throught the upstart. [05:36] overlord: also, there is a big difference between "cannot mount" and "do not know how to mount" [05:37] will it happen with the final release? [05:37] udevd-event[6310]: 'sbin/modprobe/' abnormal exit. When attempting to install my installer hung up at that for about five minutes.. and then it went really fast for a second... until it go to pan0: dropping NetIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. When it got there.. it froze entirely for 15 minutes. Any ideas? ^_^ [05:37] Ooops, sorry. [05:37] zeldarocks: Jaunty discussion belongs in #ubuntu+1, not here, as you know. [05:37] If i minimize any of the opened files or documents, i could not see that in the panel. i.e, i have to open it again. can any one help me [05:37] huwenfeng: you want to use update-rc.d to install init scripts [05:37] bullgard4: they have a prototype version up that you can install and play with. [05:37] overlord: so you said it's /dev/sda1? try: sudo mkdir /mnt/win [05:37] overlord: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/win [05:37] raylu: sec.. [05:38] bullgard4: and it appears that it's an extension, not a plugin. :) [05:38] venu: alt+tab? [05:38] nanotube: Ah! I am reading now... [05:38] bullgard4: enjoy.... :) [05:38] nanotube: Thank you very much for your help. [05:40] raylu: I did: sudo mkdir /media/disk1 [05:40] this time i could see files rotating on the window and select it. but i couldn't see that on the panel [05:40] overlord: /media is for removable media, but it makes no real difference [05:40] raylu: and then I did: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/disk1 [05:40] venu: you removed one of the panel applets. i forgot what it was called (i don't use gnome-panel), but you should be able to right-click and add it [05:40] raylu: This is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129102/ [05:40] overlord: -t ntfs is read-only [05:41] anyone want to help me with my grub problem? keep getting the "NTLDR is missing" problem for my windows partition [05:41] overlord: oh. i see. show me "sudo fdisk -l" please [05:41] venu: i think it's like "application list" or something similar [05:41] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129104/ [05:42] I am new to ubuntu. i am facing this problem from the time i installed. i did not remove anything [05:42] overlord: it looks like your windows partition is /dev/sda5 [05:42] venu: regardless, right-click on the bottom panel and see if you see application list or something that sounds like what you want in there [05:42] overlord: also, it looks like you have some kind of raid setup going on [05:42] Kyron_TD, pop in your windows cd, choose to restore or recover an operating system.. I can't remember the exact wording.. login and use the fixboot command. [05:43] Ever since I installed Emerald and Compiz-Fusion, double clicking the title bar makes the window roll up. I want it to maximize. Changing the settings in System>Window doesn't do anything. How can I fix it? [05:43] raylu: No. That's an ntfs partition. And it does get mounted without any issues. [05:43] anybody knows how to make work nvtv or tv-out please? [05:44] Dacvak, you need to change that behaviour in the compiz control panel. i forget exactly where to find it though. [05:44] overlord: well, sda1 isn't an ntfs partition... [05:44] shear_clone: I checked all around there. I couldn't find anything. [05:44] overlord: what's sdb1, by the way? also, try mounting without -t ntfs [05:45] Dacvak, stuff like this is compiz' job. i'm looking right now, but i believe it has to be somewhere around here [05:45] :P [05:45] lol [05:45] Anyone: Can I un-register a package from apt? I overwrote some of the files using a different package from source, and now 'apt-get remove package' fails. [05:45] raylu: sdb1 is my external hdd. And sda1 IS the drive where I my windows is installed on. I guess I messed it up while reinstalling Grub [05:46] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129105/ [05:46] overlord: ok, then try mounting it without -t ntfs. do you have a raid setup, or is that a mistake in the partition table? [05:46] Ok apparently my graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions for the display in system > preferences this may also be the reason why compiz doesn't work right. I have a geforce 6200 with the latest drivers installed. [05:47] raylu: I do not understand what you mean by "raid setup" [05:47] So how do I fix this extensions issue i have? [05:47] overlord: then you probably don't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID [05:47] so apparently the "configure file sharing" button doesn't work for me, how do i share folders without that button [05:48] hi all, i'm trying to switch from fakeraid to software raid but can't seem to kill the fakeraid despite removing it from fstab [05:49] Dacvak I think you need to look in animations on the compiz control panel [05:49] well Dacvak, I can't find it either. However, i still maintain that even though both of us appear to be blind, it's still there somewhere. [05:49] raylu: Oh, no, I don't. [05:49] anyone know the default port for pptp [05:49] HELP! keep getting "NTLDR is missing" problem when trying to boot to my windows partition. I've tried a few things I found online, but no dice [05:50] 1723 is the default port for pptp === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP [05:50] raylu: I think I had installed the grub on /dev/sda1 [05:50] Ok guys. Thanks for helping. I'll see if I can locate it. =) [05:50] Kyron_TD, pop in your windows cd, choose to restore or recover an operating system.. I can't remember the exact wording.. login and use the fixboot command. [05:50] raylu: maybe that is what i troubling me. [05:50] so apparently the "configure file sharing" button doesn't work for me, how do i share folders without that button [05:51] udevd-event[6310]: 'sbin/modprobe/' abnormal exit. When attempting to install my installer hung up at that for about five minutes.. Then it froze later on.. [05:51] iMatter: try 1723, i know it is the default port [05:51] Hello. A simple question: how do I change the screen resolution of the login window? [05:51] Because I recently updated to Intrepid (don't ask why so late), and since then the login window displays in 800x600 instead of 1280x1024. After login it displays 1280 as intended. === edgex-_ is now known as EdgeX-A] [05:51] jmjmjm, hmm, i put in my outside IP but it cannot connect [05:51] overlord: perhaps, but it's troubling that you can't mount the partition [05:52] raylu: and also messed up the system information [05:52] overlord: there is a way to have fdisk simply mark it as ntfs, but that's probably not a good idea [05:52] PPTP is forwarded to my computer [05:52] iMatter you can't connect to yourself from the inside [05:52] coreyman, im connecting from an iphone 3g [05:52] oh. [05:52] trying anyway [05:52] just endlessly says [05:53] good night all [05:53] "connecting...." [05:53] imatteR: does your pc firewall intercept it ? [05:53] i guess not [05:53] none is enabled... [05:53] coreyman: share with who? [05:53] the entire reaosn im doing the VPN thing is because my znc server cannot be connected to [05:53] when using my IP... [05:54] even when that port is forwarded also.. [05:54] hi, I just got this computer with hardy on it; it is a p4 2.8ghz. I was wondering if it is worth upgrading to intrepid, since I heard there are some issues with it but after searching around I haven't really found out what these 'issues' are. can anyone explain further? [05:54] raylu i just want to share the folder on my network [05:54] raylu: how do i mark the drive as ntfs ? [05:54] raylu i installed samba [05:54] coreyman: oh. share with windows machines [05:54] how do I get rid of /dev/mapper/nvidia_bicdfgig I turned off nvraid in bios but it still shows up and I can't reformat the drives it's associated with [05:54] hmm, i think i found the option he wanted. emerald, not compiz [05:54] overlord: the partition? i haven't messed with fdisk much. but most likely, it'll screw things up further [05:54] anyone good with installation issues? [05:55] raylu: hmm..so what do i do next ? [05:55] Cehr: i think that your shouldnt spend time to reinstall something that working alright now, [05:55] raylu yea sure [05:55] cehr: i've got an amd64 x2 3800. and everytime i've tried to upgrade to intrepid i run into problems and reinstall hardy [05:55] same ^^ [05:55] keep it on with hardy, it should be really nice in all the way [05:56] im headed to bed then :/ [05:56] good night all. [05:57] whats with the band list [05:57] >.> [05:57] is it bad if xgl is not present ? [05:57] I found the answer to my question. I can remove this package from /var/lib/dpkg/status . I found the answer at http://itechlog.com/linux/2008/12/18/fix-broken-package-ubuntu/ [05:58] overlord: found it [05:58] overlord: sudo fdisk /dev/sda [05:58] dagsun: well, that is a good omen :) what is the difference between hardy and intrepid anyway? what would make me want to upgrade to intrepid at all? [05:58] overlord: first, type 'p' to print the table. then, 't' to change '1' to HPFS/NTFS ('7') [05:58] Hey all... So, I have the following problem: I used to be able to in the workspace manager drag and drop windows... I am now unable to... I did a whole bunch of stuff in the mean time so I'm not sure what affected that... Can anyone help me? [05:58] overlord: then 'w' to write changes. this is really unlikely to improve your situation [05:59] overlord: i suppose you want to 'p' once before writing [05:59] hey guys...got a problem [05:59] My son is homechooled. [05:59] what version of ubuntu is the latest ? [05:59] _ &À [05:59] raylu: lol. no harm in trying. will be fun! ;) [06:00] yggdrasi1: latest lts is hardy, latest is intrepid, latest latest (alpha) is jaunty [06:00] 8.10 [06:00] i forgot who i was talkin to about the runlevels but it worked [06:00] raylu thanks, been having a hard time with thei latitude c400 on 8.04 thinking of going to 8.10 [06:00] overlord: as a note, 'fd' is raid autodetect (what sda1 is now) [06:00] grendal_prime: No offense meant, but I'm not sure anyone here can help with that... [06:00] how can i tell wich im on ? [06:00] yggdrasi1: latitude gets good linux hardware support [06:00] I want to keep all of his activities(i video and photo the projects we work on with my treo phone) in one website...but i dont want to have to actually edit a website all the time... is there a blog that i can use that will alow me to put...images...and video on it? [06:00] oh wait im for sure on 8.04 [06:00] yggdrasi1: lsb_release -a [06:00] raylu, it has random freezes [06:01] yggdrasi1: freezes as in kernel panics or..? [06:01] other have had the same proboem [06:01] just stops [06:01] everything stays on the screen [06:01] I guess like an opensource like...myspace type thing? [06:01] i ran um [06:01] yggdrasi1: does either ctrl+alt+f1 or the magic sysrq key do anything? [06:01] gutys on here for a long time with no problem [06:01] nope [06:01] raylu: okay, i get the adventurous feel now. [06:01] nothing gotta hold the power button [06:01] ill take it up to 8.10 [06:01] grendal_prime: most do. you're looking for "cms" [06:01] grendal_prime:wordpress is good for that [06:01] I have plenty of web servers with plenty of space...im just not sure what app would be best for this soet of thign [06:01] overlord: heh [06:02] yggdrasi1: wait, not even the magic sysrq key? [06:02] wich is ? [06:02] yggdrasi1: do you have an ssh server running on the machine? [06:02] !sysrq [06:02] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [06:02] raylu yes i do [06:02] yggdrasi1: and i suppose you can't ssh in? [06:02] nope [06:03] I am getting a weird error running dpkg, that /var/lib/dpkg/available has an error on line one that a colon needs to be after field S9 [06:03] google 8.04 freez [06:03] uh c400 8.04 freez [06:03] yggdrasi1: but no flashing capslock/numlock/scrolllock keys either? [06:03] youll see alot of people [06:03] now that i havnt checked [06:03] ill check it out [06:03] i would rather stay on lts [06:03] I used nano on /var/lib/dpkg/availaable and Its a huge gobdelgook of UTF-8 chars, so I'm hesitant to just add a colon after S9 [06:03] ill also double check the ssh thing to be certain [06:04] its so random though its annoying [06:04] Maahes: consider using gedit, then [06:04] anyone know how to deactivate fakeraid [06:04] dagsun..thanks man...right on the money looks just like what i want..thanks [06:04] raylu, gedit cannot detect character encoding on that file [06:05] install a real one...? just joking [06:05] Maahes: strange [06:05] grendal_prime: no problem i was looking for the same thing a year ago, found wordpress and stuck with it [06:05] Maahes: You should be able to create a backup of /var/lib/dpkg/available (e.g. "cp /var/lib/dpkg/available /var/lib/dpkg/available.backup") and then edit the file. [06:06] gigglesworth, if I delete that file, will dpkg auto-regen it? [06:06] But /var/lib/dpkg/available shouldn't be gobbledegook ... it should contain readable words. I believe that each package is separated by a blank line. [06:07] hi...iam working on a lamp project...is there any good editor for PHP ? [06:07] raylu: did try to rename it. [06:07] consoleart: vim :D [06:07] gigglesworth, well what happened awhile ago, is my .27 kernel got completely thrashed, and some of my /etc/ files and such got written over with complete nonsense [06:07] overlord: er, relabel it? [06:07] Maahes: I'm not sure. But I just edited /var/lib/dpkg/status myself. [06:07] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129108/ [06:07] any other !!! [06:07] consoleart: gvim [06:07] raylu: yeh, relabel* [06:07] so I have deleted .27 pending reinstallation [06:08] hahaah...tht was funny... [06:08] gigglesworth, might you know anything about installer hangups? [06:08] raylu: and yes, partition table IS messed up now. [06:08] i need something with syntax jighlighting [06:08] highlighting* [06:08] I got some very interesting german error output on top of my Xorg.0.log [06:08] yeah, I guess I just don't understand what makes an upgrade an 'upgrade'; what I've seen says it has something to do with the repo's and gnome upgrades but I don't get why it is an 'upgrade' and not just new packages. I must be too used to the 'windows' way :/ [06:08] Nalf: Not really, sorry. [06:08] overlord: well, you need to reboot before trying funny things with sda1 [06:08] overlord: or anything, really [06:08] consoleart: ...vim [06:08] hi there [06:08] gigglesworth, It's fine, thanks anyways. ^_^ [06:08] is 64bit faster than 32 bit (running on a 64 bit system) ? [06:09] Maahes: I'm not sure what to do in that case, and I don't want to send you in the wrong direction and corrupt your /etc/ again ;) [06:09] !silv3r_m00n Yes. [06:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:09] silv3r_m00n: by...5% === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:09] raylu: only 5% ? [06:09] silv3r_m00n: most of the speed boost can be achieved by passing -fomit-frame-pointer to gcc, in some people's opinion [06:09] raylu: oh. lol. thanks for that. and relabel thing was positive =] (http://paste.ubuntu.com/129109/) === ZMR_ is now known as ZMR [06:10] raylu: and does it offer any extra feature or something ? [06:10] raylu: brb. after a reboot. [06:10] overlord: well... it worked, of course. but the fear is that you have a bad label now. which is even worse than unmountable [06:10] raylu: hmm.. [06:10] silv3r_m00n: it offers some compatibility trouble. but basically, your processor has twice as many registers and they're twice as large and your 32-bit system is using half of them (bit-wise) and half of them (number wise) [06:10] How's everyone doing? [06:10] raylu: I'll be right back after a quick reboot !! [06:11] overlord: ok [06:11] raylu: what kind of compatibility problem .. will I have less things to install from synaptic ? [06:11] silv3r_m00n: no. but some programs were developed by people on 32-bit machines and weird things happen. some people have had trouble getting 64-bit flash to work with 64-bit firefox and have downgraded both to 32-bit [06:12] silv3r_m00n: installing stuff from the terminal is good [06:12] can anyone tell me how to view chm files...i installed chmsee and kchm but i am unable to view the files even then...any help [06:12] i can say that my upgrade from 32 to 64 went completely smoothly [06:13] PerryArmstrong: is decompiling them into html files an option? also, try https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/3235 [06:13] can anyone tell me how to name my network in ubuntu? [06:13] hi [06:13] how to hide desktop icons [06:13] y0loek: workgroups are dumb [06:14] raylu, what should i do then === bAsTl is now known as bastl [06:14] y0loek: you are talking about windows 'workgroups', right? [06:14] PerryArmstrong: there are also a few other chm readers in the repos [06:15] no [06:15] im using samba and i cant find my network [06:15] y0loek: then... what? is this a home network? are you running your own dns server? [06:15] y0loek: uh oh. ok, so you _are_ talking about windows workgroups. [06:15] all i can find is a "windows network" that doesnt work [06:16] y0loek: sorry, i've never gotten samba working in my life. i just use scp [06:16] comment faire une recherche recursive d'un mot dans les fichiers d'un dossier ? [06:16] sorry [06:16] what's scp? [06:16] Sorry for repeating. How to change the login screen resolution? (from 800x600 to native 1280x1024) [06:16] y0loek: it's a way to transfer files to and from a machine running an openssh-server [06:17] FloatingPony: what graphics card? [06:17] well im just running a basic network [06:17] GeForce 8400, driver 177 is installed [06:17] y0loek: any linux machine can set up an openssh-server with 0 pain [06:17] raylu; previously i was able to view the chm files...but now since i have formatted my system amd reinstalled ubuntu..i dont remember how to enable this [06:17] FloatingPony: can you show us your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? === dino__ is now known as sagitarius [06:18] hi [06:18] which is the best torrent client [06:18] PerryArmstrong: ok... care to try some other readers? [06:18] utorrent. [06:18] pawan1234: i've tried transmission and rtorrent and i've been unimpressed by both [06:18] and yes, utorrent is nice [06:18] does it woks in ubuntu [06:18] how is azureus [06:19] raylu: *phew* am back. The boot did seem about 15 second longer [06:19] azureus is bleh [06:19] Wine. [06:19] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129112/ [06:19] raylu can you proxy all connections in utorrent? does it work in ubuntu? [06:19] raylu: and no sucess yet. [06:19] y0loek: http://utorrent.com [06:19] y0loek: torrenting over a proxy? i'm not sure, but that just sounds like a bad idea [06:20] raylu: is there a way to fix the grub. the grub is installed on /dev/sda1 which i think should've been /dev/sda [06:20] overlord: well, you can remove the grub files... after mounting it [06:20] overlord: and i assume you have grub installed on /dev/sda since you managed to boot [06:20] raylu: hmm [06:21] raylu: well, i just used KGrub Editor to reinstall it on /dev/sda [06:21] ew. there's a gui for grub too now :( [06:21] :P [06:22] raylu: makes thing a bit faster. [06:23] i would blame your current situation on kgrub, but there's someting else that's screwed up [06:23] overlord: so, mounting it still doesn't work? [06:23] raylu: neh. i had used the alternate fiesty disc to install the grub after windows install. [06:24] raylu: yes, it doesn't work. [06:24] FloatingPony: are you sure you need those modelines? are you on hardy or intrepid and who added the modelines? [06:24] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129113/ [06:25] #oncochat irc.onchat.net 7000 [06:25] raylu: I am on Intrepid, recently upgraded from Hardy, didn't do any manual xorg edits. By the way, the login was 1280x1024 before upgrading. === Boohbah_ is now known as Boohbah [06:25] overlord: well, i suppose now would be a good time to set it back to 'fd' [06:26] raylu: what's the point ? [06:26] overlord: well, something marked it as linux raid autodetect, and it's not ntfs, so... [06:26] I mean, I did do some keyboard-related edits in xorg.conf, but it was long before. [06:26] watz up around here,i am new with this program [06:27] raylu: well, it is ntfs. that's what i believe. [06:27] FloatingPony: i'd suggest using X -configure or nvidia-xconfig [06:27] FloatingPony: wait, ignore the first part [06:27] FloatingPony: try using nvidia-xconfig [06:27] tritium: Good, thanks , i love it! [06:27] yuck..when did it all the sudden become a bitch to setup mysql? [06:27] !ohmy > grendal_prime [06:27] grendal_prime, please see my private message [06:27] grendal_prime: oh dear. setting up a multi-user relational database isn't a walk in the park? [06:28] raylu: i set up postgres servers all the time. [06:28] grendal_prime: actually, it's just install and configure a root password, isn't it? [06:28] thats what i thought.. [06:28] but...hmm [06:28] raylu: I'll be right back after a reboot again. [06:28] grendal_prime: that's what i did... [06:28] overlord: well, mount says it isn't ntfs... [06:28] i aparently missed the password setup portion of that. [06:29] ill google a bit [06:31] !sources.list [06:31] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [06:32] Hi, I have an ATI xpress 200 card which driver do i need for direct rendering [06:32] !radeon [06:32] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:32] hi.anyone knows how can i copy a bunch of numbers to table in Open office automatically?

[06:34] ohh [06:34] mib, off topic [06:34] mib, there is a #Openoffice.org on freenode === Mud is now known as Mud|bnc [06:34] anyone has an idea about zembly [06:35] hy [06:36] raylu: Okay. Am convinced. /dev/sda1 is certainly not NTFS anymore. [06:37] overlord: yay :D [06:37] raylu: Although, it the same drive where Windows is installed. [06:37] overlord, fdisk -l will show if its ntfs or not [06:37] overlord: do you have /dev/md* s? [06:38] raylu: lemme see [06:38] anyone know what package contains glib? [06:38] Titan8990: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129104/ [06:38] Titan8990: I had relabelled it manually. [06:39] raylu: no. i do not have /dev/md [06:39] Lapinux: what do you need it for? [06:39] overlord, label should not affect the partition type [06:40] raylu: trying to install openbox [06:40] Titan8990: by label, he means he changed the partition type in the partition table with fdisk [06:40] Titan8990: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129115/ [06:40] Titan8990: I did as raylu said. [06:41] Lapinux: what's wrong with the version in the repositories? [06:41] overlord, I missed what the actual goal was [06:41] how do packages get included in the synaptic package manager? [06:41] Titan8990: booting windows xp. or mounting it, for now. he might have installed grub onto it (dev/sda1) [06:41] l3ftm1n0r: try asking in #ubuntu-devel [06:42] how do I use rdiff to backup my /home/ folder to a remote system? [06:42] raylu, thanks [06:42] raylu: i couldnt get it to work, so i was following a guide [06:42] Titan8990: I had installed Windows XP on /dev/sda1 a day back. I used 7.10's alternate disc to reinstall the Grub. After reinstalling the Grub I was unable to load Windows XP or see the drive on ubuntu. [06:43] jeeves: you mean rsync? [06:43] Titan8990: I used fdisk to change the partition type of /dev/sda1 from auto raid detect to ntfs. === jmjmjm is now known as j4m [06:44] Titan8990: Now, when I try to boot Win XP from the grub I get an error saying "Invalid drive selected. press any key to continue" and this send me back to the Grub loader. [06:44] Titan8990: So, basically, I would want to use the Win XP drive. [06:44] raylu, naaaa, rdiff [06:44] overlord, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:44] jeeves: you want to use something that compares files to move files... [06:45] Titan8990: the problem is sda1 used to be his windows partition (or so he claims) and is now marked as 'linux raid autodetect.' he has no raid setup, so it's not a grub issue [06:45] raylu, I'm trying to test it using Linux to Linux box before I move to Windows to Linux [06:46] TItan8990: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129120/ [06:46] jeeves: what i'm saying is that rdiff is not a backup tool, as far as i'm concerned. i do know that lots of people, me included, use rsync to back their files up remotely [06:46] raylu, the last pastebin I saw from him showed it as ntfs.... [06:46] raylu, well, I need a good soulition to back up windows boxes to Linux over the net [06:46] Titan8990: that was after he changed the partition table :P [06:46] jeeves, have you seen the HowtoForge article http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_rdiff_backup ? [06:47] jeeves: there are windows tools for rsync. and there's always cygwin if all else fails [06:47] Titan8990: Yes, I did change it a few minutes back [06:47] ZykoticK9, yes, but that dosn't help with the windows portion of it dosen't help [06:48] overlord, anyways your line for windows should read root(hd0,0) not root(hd0,1) [06:48] raylu, I'd like to keep it as simple as possible so we just have to put the directories in that we want backed up, and the user name, and it'll only backup the diff in the files [06:48] jeeves, sorry I'd never heard of rdiff-backup before so went searching, found that. Just wanted to point it out. Good luck. [06:48] Titan8990: okay. [06:48] jeeves: yes... that's what rsync does [06:48] Titan8990: reboot ? [06:48] niggers [06:48] raylu, ok, so I guess I'll just rsync it then. [06:49] now the next question is what would the syntax be? [06:49] Titan8990: okay. am going for a reboot. let's see if it works or not. [06:49] overlord, we will be here [06:49] jeeves: in windows? [06:49] JEWS CAUSED 9/11 JEWS CAUSED 9/11 [06:50] raylu, naaa, we'll try the linux box right now. I'd like to back up ALL of the /home directory to jeeves@remote_host.ca:/backup/ === kristian_ is now known as Chiko_Medina [06:51] ok, how does one call the mods in this channel? h1tler has GOT to go.

[06:52] raylu, ok, what I'm trying to do is back up everything on one server's /home directory to the local server here [06:52] jeeves: --delete deletes files that don't appear locally but appear on the server [06:52] jeeves: oh... you want it to fetch the files? [06:53] raylu, I'll be logged onto the production server I want to back up to the remote backup server [06:53] Titan8990: no? [06:53] can anyone please help me with virtual users in pureftpd? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6869641#post6869641 [06:53] jeeves: ok, so you don't want to fetch, you wan to put [06:53] raylu, I will test [06:53] raylu, yes [06:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6869641#post6869641 [06:54] raylu, but I'd like to recersivly do all of the /home/ dir [06:54] jeeves: ok, then that's fine. rsync actually has an archive mode (-a) that is all the flags i gave you with some extras [06:54] jeeves: that you might want to look into. also, if your clocks aren't quite synced, you'll want to look at using -c [06:54] what's the best way to make a complete image backup of ubuntu 8.10? [06:54] hello folks [06:54] raylu, good. can you give me the quick and dirty way of doing it? then I'll tweak it. [06:54] Titan8990: No success. This time selecting XP results in a black flickering screen for a few seconds and then back to the Grub loader. [06:54] jeeves: i did [06:55] rsync --delete -rlvzn /home jeeves@remote_host.ca:/backup [06:55] raylu, ok, thanks. [06:55] jeeves: see the notes i added immediately after that [06:55] overlord, sounds like the partition is bad... I would recommend a MS checkdisk from a recovery console or bart's pe [06:55] i am on a brand new ubuntu install, what should i do right away to make ubuntu more usable [06:55] raylu, checked, -e is not needed [06:55] hello all, is there a command line tool where I can view CPU cores' usage? [06:55] Titan8990: ok [06:56] trevor: install mscore fonts..default fonts in ubuntu is fugly [06:56] verma: top. thought htop is nicer, but not installed by default [06:56] raylu, thanks.

Computers know nothing about stability.;) [06:56] TItan8990: Okay. I am ready to that. But do not know how to. Could you guide me ? [06:56] raylu, oh nice, let me try htop .. top tells me the usage of the CPU not individual cores [06:56] overlord, it requires that you have a windows installation disk [06:56] overlord, for both options [06:56] hey are their any vbox users here? like pros? have come about a problem i have never encountered before [06:57] How can I get metrics, over time, on how much nautilus is ruining my ability to use my computer? [06:57] lol, i mean, i dont need to nuke it [06:57] trevor: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/09/installing-microsoft-fonts/ [06:57] prok3ct2501 what do you need to know [06:57] proj3ct2501, join #vbox [06:57] verma: htop does indeed tell you usage of each core [06:57] Thunar, ctrl-a selects all. Nautilus, ctrl-a 'I would like to select all files, please think about it for 5 or 6 minutes, and get back to me, you *$&*&$ idiot' [06:57] proj3ct2501, what's problem are you having? [06:57] raylu, nice :) .. thanks [06:57] Is there anything I can do short of paying $100 to have the authors beaten up? [06:57] ash_gfm: bash: what is select all? [06:57] I mean, cheaper than donating to the project, and more effective [06:58] ctrl-a [06:58] ash_gfm: you should just get rid of your gui [06:58] Titan8990: Oh. Okay. Nice. I'll have to go though that blue installation screen again which really irritates me! My opinion was correct: "Microsoft is really VERY tough to handle". Never imagined playing a game could be so hard! =/ [06:58] ash_gfm, +1 to raylu's suggestion [06:58] ash_gfm: or, rather, keep it around for things like firefox and mplayer [06:58] raylu, I should, except I need thumbnails for sorting the images in the design folder. I use C-x-f but as I age, the ability to parse jpeg in my head diminishes [06:58] ash_gfm: but not for things like nautilus [06:59] Titan8990, +1 for uinazism [06:59] overlord: some people report that xp runs faster in a vm in linux than natively... [06:59] raylu, +1 for additional cuils [06:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1092109 [06:59] raylu: LOL !! [06:59] raylu, just curious, but what did you mean by ' but not for things like nautilus ' [06:59] hahaha. that's amazing ! [06:59] ash_gfm: hrm. i suppose that's a valid excuse [06:59] they're comparing a fresh xp install to an old xp install [07:00] ash_gfm: as in do everything in bash except web-browsing and movie-watching [07:00] Titan8990 & raylu: Thanks for your help. I'll be back after the recovery thing. Will update you guys if you'll stick around untill then. [07:00] raylu, if you're not using links, and running all your movies through an ascii filter, you're doing it wrong. [07:00] overlord, oh, from the recovery console you will be running chkdsk -r [07:00] Anyone know why your install would hang up at 'starting bluetooth'? [07:01] raylu, so fail for you. but - what editor do you use? [07:01] overlord, if it doesn't detect your windows install, its probably borked completely [07:01] Mal3ko: have you poked around /etc/pureftpd [07:01] overlord, gl [07:01] ash_gfm: vim [07:01] Titan8990: thanks you ! =] [07:01] thank* [07:01] raylu, oh, fail. I can bench press 300lbs with my pinky. [07:01] ash_gfm: explain? [07:01] I use emacs [07:01] ash_gfm: heh. debian's vim developer recently switched to emacs [07:02] anyone please? image backup for ubuntu 8.10? [07:02] ash_gfm, emacs is much more than a text editor :) [07:02] raylu: im clueless. [07:02] marsh, sudo dd if=/dev/sdxx of=myimage [07:02] anyway, console faggotry aside, you can't beat screen, htop and netsomething, slap on emacs and you still can't sort thumbnails. But you can killall -9 nautilus, which feels good [07:02] Mal3ko: could you paste the ls of that directory? is there such a directory? [07:03] anyway, I am using thunar now, so I can let nautilus die [07:03] marsh, or you can use gparted or a livecd like clonezilla [07:03] Titan8990: any gui tool? [07:03] I just think it has been slowing down my machine A LOT [07:03] marsh: Clonezilla is nice if you want to take images [07:03] marsh, gparted and clonezilla have GUIs [07:03] so it needs to be investigated, I thought it was VirtualBox with photoshop, but now I think nautilus is the culprit [07:03] what do you guys recommend best? [07:03] im getting errors like this in my dmesg: "ata7: SError: { DevExch }". How can figure out which physical device ata7 maps to? [07:04] marsh: I use Clonezilla on a daily basis, so... I like it :) [07:04] raylu: auth conf db pureftpd-dir-aliases pureftpd.passwd pureftpd.pdb [07:04] marsh, they are all really just different interfaces to do the same thing [07:04] marsh, almost all projects that are 'guis for a tool' are completely rubbish and fail to work properly, see synergy [07:04] ash_gfm: have you heard the joke: emacs is a great operating system but it lacks a good text editor? [07:04] ok as long as they are working [07:04] thanks [07:04] Mal3ko: ok, is conf a directory or a file? [07:04] raylu, I think I was out getting drunk and laying women when they told that one [07:04] is it possible to rebuild /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates? [07:04] I'm looking for a text based msn client to run in the terminal... any recommendations ? [07:05] a dir === kevin_ is now known as lina_ [07:05] Mal3ko: ok, what's in there? [07:05] but, yeah, we have some faggotry in my office about it - but since the other 'devs' all use crappy tools, there is no real reason to be elitist. and they are all dumb as crap [07:05] Mal3ko: also, what you're looking for could be in conf, i suppose [07:05] !info finch | x4d [07:05] Mal3ko: *auth [07:05] finch (source: pidgin): text-based multi-protocol instant messaging client. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 199 kB, installed size 724 kB === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:05] x4d: bitlbee [07:06] anyone? I have fairly terrible data corruption at the moment and am wondering how to regenerate /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates [07:06] raytu: UnixAuthentication? [07:06] raylu, I am using textmate now - I am finding more developer support on mac than linux, crazy [07:06] Mal3ko: that only allows people with valid unix accounts to login, by the sounds of it [07:06] thanks, i'll test finch and bitlbee [07:06] Mal3ko: so, could you show me the ls of both auth and conf? [07:07] a sec. what's this chan's pastebin? [07:07] Mal3ko, 4chan.org [07:07] lol [07:07] !pastebin [07:07] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:07] though you can use any, really [07:08] how do i find out what version of ubuntu im using? [07:08] lsb_release -a [07:08] joejc, or "cat /etc/issues" [07:09] raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/129125/ [07:09] ok, I have the tests in, reproducible, same folder, same files... nautilus takes 1 second to select all files with ctrl-a, thunar is instant. Can I ask why? [07:10] Nautilus is waiting on io? [07:10] Mal3ko: wow. [07:10] ? [07:10] Nautilus has a performance loop? (too make this go faster, remove a 0) [07:10] *to [07:10] Mal3ko: um... that's a lot of stuff :D [07:10] yey for /var/backups! [07:10] does geany (ide) clear recent files if i clear my recent files on gnome? [07:10] hello === dopplerdeffect is now known as doppler|away [07:11] yea cause i have already set it up before.. [07:11] racecar56, try it, but no [07:11] Mal3ko: oh... you created most of those files? [07:11] yea.. [07:11] is there a chat room for gaming? [07:11] how would you clear it then? [07:11] racecar56, to do that, clear recents would have to be an api you can develop to and listen too, and I am sure it isn't, and if it was, they didn't do it, plus you wouldn't want it. [07:11] lyy, Ubuntu Gaming? [07:11] k [07:11] in the app itself, or delete the .geany folder [07:12] kk [07:12] Mal3ko: then you should be comfortable doing this: 4;2~ [07:12] Mal3ko: oops [07:12] Mal3ko: http://support.real-time.com/open-source/pureftpd/index.html [07:12] racecar56, hot-teen-camping-trip.txt in your MRU? [07:12] ZykoticK9: gaming in general, on both linux and windows [07:12] lyy, I'm not aware of either, was just checking... [07:12] I've read that one, they set fire to the tent. anyway, bollocks, work time as coffee is done. [07:12] solid state hd [07:12] :) [07:12] ok [07:13] hello! I have a problem with ubuntu's ssh server. on some hosts, pubkey authentication does not work. if you're competent with it, please let me know [07:13] is technical support here free? [07:13] git_, yes [07:14] bonjour [07:15] raytu: thanks..but i dont quite see the instruction cause the ftp users im going to add will have their home dir in another user's account.. [07:16] I'm building my first gaming pc and not sure what kind of motherboard to buy. anyonegive me a heads up on what's good nowadays? [07:16] petaflot: on some hosts? [07:16] lyy: That's kinda offtopic for this channel. Try the channel ##hardware [07:16] lyy: have you chosen the type of cpu yet? [07:16] petaflot: that sounds like a 'problem' unrelated to ubuntu's ssh server [07:16] rww: thanks [07:16] Mal3ko: that's fine [07:16] pwuertz__: I would get the best I can, but wouldn't that depend on the mother board? [07:17] Mal3ko: just pass that directory to -d [07:17] lyy, is probably isn't the best place to ask that [07:17] Titan8990: thanks [07:17] I was just replying [07:18] lyy, oh, who was asking about building a gamming pc? [07:18] hello i want to get emenese but i cant found it in synaptic [07:18] my friend have it and he is using ubuntu... [07:18] this is weird:( [07:18] lyy, no, you did ask.... [07:18] Titan8990: I was. someone told me to ask in hardware and I said ok. and someone asked me, and I replied. [07:18] Titan8990: just put me on ignore if it really annoys you [07:19] raylu: I run many distribs (debian, gentoo, ubuntu...) and about half of the ubuntu machines have this problem. others all worked as expected === pwuertz__ is now known as pwuertz [07:19] lyy, its not that it bothers me, I was trying to tell you this channel is not the place in which you will recieve the best advice on that subject [07:19] does anybody know how make a program always steal focus and stay above all windows? [07:19] Titan8990: and i said "OK" [07:19] shesh [07:19] rip my head off [07:19] ripps: just right click on the title [07:19] lyy, when I was in to it, I found these forums very helpful: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/System-Building-Upgrading-f27.html&s=1d99a430e361b8809443bb608afa3d38 [07:20] ripps: "Always on top" [07:20] Titan8990: ok thanks [07:20] lyy, I am only trying to help.... [07:20] raylu: I made sure the perms on ~/.ssh/ are correct, the config files are the same on all hosts [07:20] petaflot: o.0 [07:20] petaflot: try connecting with ssh -v [07:20] pwuertz: will that work with every instance of the program in the future? [07:20] lyy, Titan8990 we could as well assist in choosing components suitable for running ubuntu ^^ [07:20] ripps: compiz allows user configuration to exclude an app from focus-stealing prevention, by metacity doesn't [07:21] err, but metacity doesn't* [07:21] lyy, gigabyte GA-P45-DS3L [07:21] ripps: hmm.. always on top won't really keep the focus.. it just ensures that the window is always on top ^^ [07:21] ;) [07:21] crdlb: I want the program to steal focus, I have a script that calls seahorse-agent, and don't want to have to grab my mouse to select the window when it pops up. [07:22] thanks [07:22] lyy, with a e8400 to OC.... unless you want to fork over the cash of a i7 [07:22] ripps: using metacity? [07:22] I got the money (I work for a living :) [07:22] crdlb: no, compiz [07:23] ripps: then just put !class=CLASS_OF_THAT_WINDOW in General Options > Focus & Raise > focus prevention windows [07:24] hey guys. whats' the latest kernel build? [07:24] raylu: debug2: debug1: Offering public key: /home/dave/.ssh/id_rsa; we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply; debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password ; debug1: Trying private key: /home/dave/.ssh/id_dsa ; debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method ; debug1: Next authentication method: password [07:24] lyy, well, something else to think about is that the new chipsets for the lga 1366 socket that the i7 uses, may not be fully linux compatible yet, I would not be able to verify that [07:24] raylu: I wonder why the "we did not send a packet" [07:24] in ubuntu, when i control control+alt+delete, then system info me to let me choose what i want to do. so , i wonder, can i define my actions? like control+alt+A to do some thing, then control+alt+B to do another thing? anyone knows about this? [07:24] hey guys [07:25] petaflot: do you have something locally in .ssh/config? [07:25] what's up? [07:25] lyy, which appears to be x58 and x58 only [07:25] raylu: nope [07:25] digitalgheko: On what version of Ubuntu? [07:25] What is the most commonly used way to achieve a dual head configuration on Ubuntu with an ATI X1900XT graphiccard? [07:26] petaflot: what was the full ssh command you used? [07:26] !dualhead [07:26] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [07:26] huwenfeng, check out System / Prefs / Keyboard Shortcuts - you can pretty much configure the keys to do whatever you wish. Good luck. [07:26] ripps: of course the ideal solution is to somehow get an X timestamp from your action to travel all the way down to the seahorse-agent window, telling the window manager that its timestamp is newer than your interaction with the currently focused window [07:26] rww on 8.10 intrepid [07:26] Titan8990: I just skimmed over intel hype on i7 - looks very exciting [07:26] digitalgheko: 2.6.27.11 [07:26] raylu: ssh -vv root@xx.xx.xx.xx [07:26] mmm [07:27] cool thanks =] [07:27] petaflot, for security you really should allow sshing as root... [07:27] lyy, http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-q3-2008/Unreal-Tournament-3-1680x1050,819.html [07:28] petaflot: strange. consider running on the server: invoke-rc.d sshd stop [07:28] petaflot, sorry that was "shouldn't" not should [07:28] petaflot: /usr/sbin/sshd -D [07:28] petaflot: and yeah, what ZykoticK9 said [07:28] lyy, real world scenerios, they are not worth double the price of an 8xxx series [07:28] huwenfeng: try http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/ [07:28] lyy, but they are faster [07:29] ZykoticK9: you may be right. but I can't administer my machines as a normal user, and ideally password auth would be disabled [07:29] raylu: thanks i got it to work now..but looks like i need to add -u school -g school just so it will user permission from the user acc 'school' [07:29] will use* [07:29] Mal3ko: strange [07:29] wow [07:30] Mal3ko: also, why are you using ftp over sftp? [07:30] ftp is supposedly simpler i guess === nathan_ is now known as Naynay [07:31] lyy, gamming isn't ready for quad core... but a lot of linux applications are, such as gcc, which is a big help if use a distro that compiles from source (not ubuntu) [07:31] Mal3ko: the main concern with ftp is that the passwords are sent in cleartext === nathan_ is now known as Naynay [07:31] Mal3ko: also, by the looks of it, sftp would be simpler [07:32] sweet [07:32] guys can you help me? my mouse stoped working [07:32] raylu, ftp is better in scenerios where speed > security [07:32] i see..so whats those extra steps to enable sftp? [07:32] it just stoped working, what can I do? [07:33] Mal3ko: none [07:33] Mal3ko, sftp is a different protocol entirely, ftps is ftp over SSL or TLS [07:33] can you help me? [07:33] kenjy_: plug in another mouse.... if its working.. its a hardware problem ^^ [07:34] oh. by "none," i meant "none after installing openssh-server" === Zephyrus is now known as Guest37917 [07:34] kenjy_: reboot the system.. if it works... its a software problem ^^ [07:34] rebooting is rarely the best solution [07:34] pwuertz, it is not a hardware problem because it works on windows [07:34] raylu: I'm not talking about the best solution.. I'm talking about the easiest solution [07:35] I installed the font package texlive-fonts-recommended in order to get the bookman font but I can't choose any new fonts in OpenOffice, do I have to update anything after installing those fonts? [07:35] can somebody please help me connect to my wireless network? [07:35] kenjy_: ok.. by "just stopped working" i thought your mouse just stopped moving on the ubuntu desktop [07:36] pwuertz, yes [07:36] raylu: i mean options i need to edit on the server to enable sftp [07:36] Mal3ko, he told you, none other than: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [07:36] does anybody here know anything about wireless networks? [07:36] Mal3ko, sftp is basically SCP [07:36] !ask | milkeh [07:36] milkeh: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:37] kenjy_: so what did you do? you rebooted to windows.. mouse works.. rebooted to ubuntu... mouse doesnt work? [07:37] I installed the font package texlive-fonts-recommended in order to get the bookman font but I can't choose any new fonts in OpenOffice, do I have to update anything after installing those fonts?

[07:38] does anybody know why I can't connect to my WPA-Personal network? [07:38] hello everyone, i installed the KUBUNTU DESKTOP.. well i uninstalled it cuase i didnt like it.. but the kubuntu startup splash still comes up during startup and shutdown.. also there is still an entry for it under sessions.. how do i rid these [07:39] !puregnome [07:39] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [07:39] pwuertz, yes [07:39] what is the deb repository of getdeb.net? [07:40] Hi! I have a script, that was using the ps command , and was running from 10 to 10 minutes. Now I found that I have over 200 processes named ps, and that the ps command doesn't work anymore - it hangs. The kill -9 doesn't work either. What can I do?

I'm really sorry but I can't help right now [07:41] cool [07:41] is there a similar command to help me remove the remainder files from the XFCE install i did??? [07:42] Jefferson`J: ...someone went experimenting [07:42] yeah [07:42] i did... i admit it [07:42] yao_ziyuan: there are no repository: http://www.getdeb.net/about.php [07:42] but honestly ive learned that i really enjoy gnome... :> [07:42] raylu: for some very f** strange reason, /root had the wrong ownership [07:42] je tady nekdo..? [07:42] Jefferson`J: heh. not a bad thing. i'm not sure how much good purging xubuntu-desktop will do [07:42] raylu: it seems fixed.. I'll chekc the other hosts now [07:42] kenjy_: I assume it's a usb mouse.. so I would check lsusb or dmesg to assure that ubuntu found the mouse [07:42] petaflot: heh, that is indeed strange [07:42] petaflot: but so is caring about /root :P [07:43] well i guess since it wasnt much of a large download.. i did remove most of it.. i guess i'll leave the remainder files for later [07:43] Jefferson`J, sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop [07:43] quibbler: http://ppa.launchpad.net/getdeb.packages/ [07:43] how come i cant find cairo dock in add/remove in ubuntu? [07:43] raylu: I'm not very much of a sudoer.. [07:43] kenjy_: if that worked.. the next thing is Xorg.0.log and check if the mouse was recognized by the xserver properly [07:43] Titan8990: thanks I'll take a look === bastl is now known as lcng_bastl [07:44] O__o: not everything is in there. use synaptic or just "sudo aptitude install cairo-dock" [07:44] pwuertz, its a laptop [07:44] pwuertz, and its not a usb mouse [07:44] kenjy_: you have a laptop with a ps/2 port?!

[07:46] O__o: try them both make your own mind up [07:46] pwuertz, it was working [07:47] pwuertz, the synaptics driver for a touchpad is not required for it to work, just required for functions such as scrolling etc === jenkem_pusher is now known as infidel206 [07:48] while we're listing relavant but not necessarily helpful things, xev [07:48] kenjy_, Titan8990: which means that the recognition for ps2 mice is broken for some reason? [07:48] wait, i thought we were dealing with a touchpad, not a ps/2 mouse [07:48] pwuertz, yes [07:49] pwuertz, I think that it could be the last update [07:49] pwuertz, I am not sure how the whole automagic X works with newer distros.... I write my xorg myself to ensure there is not funky problems with autodetection [07:49] raylu: maybe I'm wrong.. but touchpads used to be connected as ps2 devices [07:49] oh [07:49] pwuertz, most are ps2 [07:49] Titan8990, read this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging#I_configured_my_mouse_and.2For_keyboard_in_xorg.conf.2C_but_X_will_not_use_it [07:50] kenjy_: I think the first thing to do is to check Xorg.0.log... maybe you could post it to nopaste.org and put the url here === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:51] hey all [07:52] pwnt, http://rafb.net/p/aYPmOE56.html [07:52] how much free space should be in brasero's temp directory?

[07:53] Kartagis, depends on the video card and if it has opengl support [07:53] marko__: as you do not own the containing folder yu will need sudo to et permission [07:53] marko__: sudo, but why do you want to do it?

[08:17] consoleart, first you will need to select a language in which to write you application that has bindings with qt [08:17] exactly...so how do i connect to a abackend if i have develop a UI in qt [08:17] consoleart, python would be an easy solution, but possibly not the most ideal [08:17] sorry for my ignorance...but iam little confused [08:17] it's not 100% clear to me, with ssh, using the -C flag for compression, is it only effective for protocol version 1, or just that the compression level setting only has effect for protocol version 1? [08:17] Ahh. done. [08:18] consoleart, generally, mysql, postgresql and similar products pretty much assume you're going to do some coding.

[08:20] fellojell_o: tried closing all firefoxes and renaming ~/.mozilla to test [08:20] ActionParsnip: to me, that reads that compression works for both versions, but only protocol 1 lets you control compression level. seems a bit odd, but not a problem [08:21] Now I pasted a series of button presses from xev on http://paste.ubuntu.com/129148/ . Can anyone help me what to do to get the buttons working? [08:21] I'll try it, but what will renaming it do? [08:21] sexcopter: does seem weird but I guess we gotta roll with it [08:23] fellojell_o: force firefox to default settings [08:24] hello, something is overriding my resolv.conf file any idea how to debug it? [08:24] fellojell_o: you will get a stock profile, as you only renamed we can rename back after the test [08:24] aurax, dhcp would be my first guess [08:24] fellojell_o: idiots will say to delete stuff but I always include a rollback method [08:25] fellojell_o: if the stock profile works, you have 2 options. 1 rebuild a new profile, 2 work out why the original is faulty === Zephyrus is now known as Guest82552 [08:27] fellojell_o: make sure you are the owner of your whole firefox settings folder as well as make sure you have full access to it [08:28] Why do I have 4 network connections showing up in the NetworkManager applet? [08:28] And none of them obey my manual settings. [08:28] Hemebond1: if the others are surplus, delete them [08:28] How? [08:29] how can i install application on ubuntu?? [08:29] I appreciate your help ActionParsnip. I'll be back tomorrow. [08:29] ActionParsnip: They're not listed under Edit Configuration. [08:29] They're only available when I left-click the applet or when I go to Connection Information. [08:30] Hemebond1: if your network is working and working fine, i wouldnt touch it [08:30] checky, do you have package with u? [08:30] ActionParsnip: It's not working fine. I need a static IP. [08:30] ok so i am new to ubuntu, i have downloaded the cd and booted my machine from it, saw the ubuntu loading screen fine, but now the video is all messed up, any takers ? [08:30] steedle: What video card? [08:31] Nvidia 7800? [08:31] Hemebond1: you can specify a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces if you wish, it will supercede anything stupid nm trys to do [08:31] hi [08:31] ActionParsnip: Already done it. [08:31] ati radeon 9200 [08:31] Hemebond1: cool [08:31] ActionParsnip: No. I still don't have a static IP. [08:31] I don't see splash progress bar when I start ubuntu, but I can c X.org [08:32] Hemebond1: after yo editted the file did you restart networking? [08:32] gypsymauro: Does Ubuntu load? [08:32] ActionParsnip: yes. [08:32] Hemebond1: yes [08:32] Hemebond1: and the ip hasnt applied [08:32] ActionParsnip: Correct. [08:32] is there a way to tell the reps to use a newer version of pidgin.. the version 2.5.2 that is out at the moment doesnt connect to ICQ anymore.. [08:32] ActionParsnip: I'll try again. brb. [08:33] Hemebond1: but is so ugly to see a black screen for 20 secs.. [08:33] gypsymauro: You think a black screen is ugly? You should see my Ubuntu loading screen. [08:33] better than seeing the windows xp screen for 45 seconds, which i am trying to get rid of now [08:33] :) [08:34] :P [08:34] gypsymauro: check in /boot/grub/menu.list to make sure you are not using options to disable the boot screen [08:34] !bootoptions | gypsymauro [08:34] gypsymauro: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [08:34] !bootsplash | gypsymauro [08:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about bootsplash [08:34] !splash [08:34] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [08:34] ActionParsnip: It's given me the static this time. [08:35] Hemebond: yeah maybe it needed to be restarted again. i'd give a reboot just to make sure its going to get set after a cold boot [08:36] Hemebond: if you want, pastebin you interfaces and i'll review [08:36] http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 [08:36] titan8990: i just went through the steps in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 but i still cant get audio on the file [08:36] Hemebond: its how i configure all networking, gui takes too long [08:36] anymore help with video card issue ? [08:36] It's basically the section under # The primary network interface [08:36] ActionParsnip: I also just edit interfaces, but when it didn't work I went poking. [08:37] Hemebond: looks good, nice indenting [08:37] ActionParsnip: Not my page, but I did indent too. [08:37] Hemebond: makes it readable :) [08:38] Now I need to figure out how to bridge things so I can talk to my VirtualBox VMs. [08:38] !bridge [08:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about bridge [08:38] Hemebond: i'd ask in #vbox [08:38] I'm going to try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-set-up-host-interface-networking-for-virtualbox-on-ubuntu.html again. [08:39] ActionParsnip: I have. They said "Need to bridge". [08:39] I said "Tried it, it didn't work" [08:39] They said "Need to bridge properly" [08:40] So, I'm going to try that howto again and hopefully this time I'll be able to access the internet from the host machine as well as the guests. [08:40] curious if it is wise to run X applications on my Ubuntu desktop to my laptop being that I have a high speed LAN connection and much better resources on my desktop than laptop [08:40] Hemebond: oh do you just want web acccess [08:40] ActionParsnip: No. I need to be able to talk to my guests and have the guests talk to each other. [08:40] Hemebond: or to be able to access the guests from other systems [08:41] Hemebond: gotcha [08:41] ActionParsnip: As well as be able to use the internet from all machines; virtual or otherwise. [08:41] Hemebond: ive done it in vmware, its part of the setup [08:41] Hemebond: i can get you web access [08:41] ActionParsnip: Yeah. VMware does it all for you. Great setup. [08:41] ActionParsnip: They have web access at the moment. NAT is the default for guests and works fine for that.

I can`t get ip from router [09:57] revilodraw, I remember having this problem a lot when running ubuntu (a couple of years ago). Ubuntu does everything for you which has a lot of benefits. But it also tends to be slow. [09:57] Oh, I'm blaming Broadcom too. For sure. [09:57] I may not know Linux (as you know) but I know my networking inside and out. This is insane. lol [09:57] after i got a new computer, i ripped the broadcom chip out of my laptop and went to the gun range. I'm just sayin... [09:58] georgeaf, ~$ whereis yelp [09:58] yelp: /usr/bin/yelp /usr/share/yelp /usr/share/man/man1/yelp.1.gz [09:58] sjefsape: check link lights are flashing on the port if you are using wired, you could set static ip to test [09:58] So, ActionParsnip...I can totally delete my windows....if I could get WoW working under Ubuntu 8.10 :P [09:58] I've tried every tutorial there is. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? [09:58] puppypusher: WoW gets the highest ranking of any app under wine [09:58] I know. That's what blows my mind. [09:59] puppypusher: sounds like a project [09:59] puppypusher, I run WoW under Wine [09:59] riwa; no, ubuntu is usually fantastic for me but for some reason it's just performing terribly.. how can i run a scan or something? [09:59] Ah, LordFDisk...then perhaps you can help me :) [09:59] ActionParsnip: ok xmms and xmms2 are not same things [09:59] ActionParsnip: can I pm you? :) [09:59] Out_Cold, i said where IN yelp not where is yelp [09:59] silv3r_m00n: no, xmms is discontinued [09:59] puppypusher, I can sure try. =) [09:59] ActionParsnip: whatever [09:59] sjefsape: im gonna be checking citrix wi's in 3 mins, sorry [09:59] LordFDisk, can I PM you? [09:59] ActionParsnip: I thought xmms2 was a new version [09:59] amms is now audacious [10:00] revilodraw, I don't know really. Does it run slow or what? [10:00] puppypusher, yep === Karlos is now known as cocodrilo [10:00] Hi, I have a questiona bout this link: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/18/tunnel-web-and-dns-traffic-over-ssh/ [10:00] silv3r_m00n: afaik its a new team [10:00] ActionParsnip: okey :| the link lights are flashing [10:00] It says it can encrypt DNS requests.....but cant the ISP still see that? [10:00] or is that guide using your own computer as a DNS server? [10:00] riwa; yes, all programs are loading incredibly slowly, as is the home folder etc [10:00] sorry how can i delete .gnome and .gnome2 directories? [10:00] who actually resolved the websites in a ssh tunneling scenario? [10:00] where are they? [10:00] hi, using 8.10 server, seeing in jaunty there is a new dovecot-postfix integration, is there documentation on 'how' it works - so I can setup the same thing in 8.10, to make migration easy ? [10:00] puppypusher, I'm pretty sure WoW should run under wine. [10:00] ActionParsnip: yes [10:01] revilodraw, Well I'm the wrong guy to ask. But maybe you're running out of memory? [10:01] how to use yelp to view the sysadmin-guide package guys ? [10:01] georgeaf: man yelp [10:01] Chuckster, so Alice uses a SSH tunnel into Bob's computer. Bob's computer then sends everything out to the ISP, so as far as the ISP can tell, it's coming from Bob. [10:02] ActionParsnip, nothing useful is there [10:02] silv3r_m00n: they probably used teh old xmms source and made it into xmms2 [10:02] ActionParsnip: yes [10:02] and what I need is the old xmms [10:02] which I have found on xmms.org [10:02] Chuckster, it's mostly useful to get around say, a filter at work. or if you trust the connection to your home computer, but not the connection to your hotel room. it doesn't *really* anonymize you [10:03] revilodraw, If your system runs smooth and after an update it doesn't it's usually not your mistake. So a google could do the trick aswell. It's likely someone else has experienced the same thing and maybe solved it. [10:03] shear_clone, I thought even if you had SSH tunneling setup, your ISP would still be resolving the DNS? even though they wouldnt be able to view the contents?

[12:07] hello [12:07] |Calmar| how did you do that? *g* Looks like data is being disaplayed as text, where it should be an image (maybe the desktop) [12:07] |Calmar| how did you end up with this screen? [12:07] b1n42y: it will save you some downloading, yes [12:07] jrib: woohoo [12:08] I am running pidgin 2.5.2 and ICQ says my client is too old. but today I could login. how come? [12:08] jrib: i'v found a ~/.config/menus folder it seems to have a lot of files relating to the menu selections... do i delete the whole folder? or just the files inside it? [12:08] macvr: I really thing it ~/.local/share/applications/ you want [12:08] think even [12:09] <|Calmar|> ActionParsnip: thanks, i will try run this [12:09] Kartagis: ICQ changed something? The folks in #pidgin always know best [12:09] test [12:10] i think so, yesterday it was working fine [12:10] jrib: that just has a huge list of all the applications installed... but nothing related to the menu selections... which do i delete? [12:10] qweqweqweqwe: we can't see you, but #test might be better [12:10] today, the message is the same always, my pidgin version is too old to use icq protocol and bla bla bla [12:10] !clone [12:10] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [12:11] s.a [12:11] hwilde: sifnt scroll up to read that [12:11] aldren: ICQ in the version of pidgin in ubuntu appears borked, ask in #pidgin for more details [12:11] b1n42y, ? u talkin to me [12:11] ziroday, okdok :_ [12:11] :) [12:11] .. [12:12] aldren: you need the pidgin from getdeb. it works well [12:12] aldren: its a newer version as the standard repos dont have the new version yet [12:13] Aha I found the problem..it's when I have over 3gb of memory..even though i'm running AMD64! [12:13] So the question is, how can I make ubuntu boot and ignore the second memory DIMM? [12:13] Silkjc: maybe you need a bios upgrade (risky) [12:14] Silkjc: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=582075 [12:14] jrib: ? any thoughts? just wanna be sure before i mess up any further [12:14] Silkjc: theres a boot option to specify ram amount. maybe it will make it nice [12:14] Hi. How can I change the proxy server in my laptop (Acer Aspire 5570) so I could connect through wifi. Thanks. [12:15] ActionParsnip: Ty will try [12:15] Silkjc: use mem=2048 [12:15] boingboing: System > Preferences > Network Proxy? [12:15] ActionParsnip: I tried mem=2000M earlier and it seemed to crash X on boot [12:15] macvr: copy both directories somewhere and play :) [12:16] jrib: that sound fun!!! ok... will try..thanx [12:16] test [12:16] I did that already but it didn't work. :( [12:16] howdy! changing GNOME theme hasn't worked properly on this laptop since Intrepid, without or without compiz. GTK2 colors are not applied and window themes change bitmaps but not colors. any idea on how to debug this? [12:16] i have another question how would i unlock the right click option on the desktop of KDE 4.1 and also unlock all of the widgits on the taskbar? [12:16] ziroday, do you think there is a problem with my drivers? [12:16] what's the name of that crash report tool? [12:16] Silkjc: did you run: sudo update-grub after yu editted the file? [12:16] I'm using an Acer Aspire 5570ANWXCi. [12:17] !cloud [12:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about cloud [12:17] boingboing: it shouldn't be? Perhaps its your settings? Can you verify the proxy is setup correctly? [12:17] is trying to get broadband 3g modem working.. am having a problem installing a package.. [12:17] yao_ziyuan: apport? [12:17] ActionParsnip: Ah no, I take it I should? [12:17] ziroday, How do I verify if the proxy is set up correctly? [12:17] Silkjc: yes [12:17] boingboing: is it your proxy? [12:17] jrib: ok [12:17] ActionParsnip: Ty will try [12:18] ziroday: Yes. Our school provided the proxy so I guess it's already okay. [12:18] i'm removing apport. it only leaks my password... [12:18] or clipboard or other sensitive data [12:18] ziroday: How do I know if my wifi card is using the correct driver? How do I detect what my wifi card is? Thanks. [12:18] boingboing: right, its probably best you ask them how to configure it. You might also want to try the autodetect proxy settings in firefox [12:19] boingboing: if your wireless card is inbuilt you can check with lspci [12:19] hey guys, is there a way to register an extension in an EXISTING mime type ? [12:19] gs94: you mean change a mimetype? [12:20] ziroday: you can say that, i want to put a 'type' tag in a mime xml file but it gets deleted by update-mime-database [12:20] ziroday: it's for mht files, MIME html [12:20] gs94: ah not familiar with that sorry. [12:20] ziroday: I just ran "lspci" on the terminal and here's a snippet of the output: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02). [12:20] ciao [12:20] ziroday: ok thanks anyway [12:20] hi, i wish to spread the word for ubuntu to like my school, collg etc, can i get any presentation help from anywhere so as that i can approach the authorities there in a more proff way [12:20] gs94: yeah, it's a pain. http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/mimetypes-modifying.html.en [12:21] boingboing: yep thats your wireless card, the intel drivers for it should be fine [12:21] panesar_sandeep: you might want to ask your loco [12:21] ziroday, loco ??

I followed all the directions provided by our school (e.g., set to DHCP, etc) but I couldn't connect through wifi. :( [12:23] boingboing: I would strongly recommend asking them, but the drivers for your card should not be a worry. [12:23] cant get the right click option to work not even on the desktop O.o [12:23] ziroday: Okay. Thanks a lot. :) [12:24] asdasda [12:24] boingboing: sorry I can't help you anymore [12:24] ozgurv: we can't see you.

[13:46] hi erictus_1 [13:46] dunkyp- you could try and #regexp [13:46] cheers [13:46] anahata: reset the bios [13:46] dunkyp: no, it just keeps saying "drive not ready, insert boot diskette in a:, press any key when ready" [13:47] dreamglider: ok, i will look for the jumper then [13:47] (and i already put a boot disk in a: and it didn't work) [13:48] anahata: are u sure you cant access the bios ? [13:48] sounds like hd failure, or other harwaare issue to me...

[13:49] dreamglider: yeah when i press F1, it goes to the same "drive not ready" msg.. and i already checked the keyboard connection [13:50] anahata: are you pressing the right key to get into bios ? [13:50] To access the BIOS, boot, hold Delete key down, or something, delete key is kinda universal. [13:50] Vigo, it is? thats news to me.. ive never seen 4 systems that use the same key.. :) [13:51] * Dr_willis wishes the MB/bios makers would agree to some standard/common practice [13:51] guys, can anyone tell me why fsck.ext4 -n finds errors but fsck.ext4 with -a or -r wont find them?

[17:36] I lost my wifi signal icon on the bottom right how can i get it back? [17:36] Viata: architecture i686->i686, and between my desktop and my laptop, both running linux [17:36] Ndiswrapper has a program for it, windows wireless network software help, where u can use .inf file, and it sais invalid driver, whereas it's 100% sure the correct file [17:36] narcissus: you're using a crossover cable, correct? [17:36] its ndisgtk [17:37] Viata: yes [17:37] Is it possible to degrade from 8.10 to 8.04?

[17:38] MeI1: ok let's try fixing that annoying file error [17:38] ikonia: damn, i just upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and a game i play is all wierd [17:38] narcissus: some NIC's are smart and don't require one, but in general, directly connecting like devices (eg. PC to PC) requires a crossover cable. unless you go through a switch, that is [17:38] MeI1: sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine1-misc-plugins*.list [17:38] MeI1: you should see a list of files in the editor, confirm that please [17:38] which is the best mp3player out there?

[17:40] ljl http://paste.ubuntu.com/129428/ [17:40] Viata: 192.168.0.1 for desktop, 1.1 for laptop, subnet 255.255.255.0 [17:40] Ok, I solved DHCP problem. The DHCP server didnt derive the hostname from the section name as advertized in docs, one needs to explicitly tell the server: host HOSTNAME { fixed-address HOSTNAME; option host-name "HOSTNAME"; ddns-hostname "HOSTNAME"; ... }. Dont ask me why it worked with SuSE. [17:40] rickard: try a bunch, see what you like. [17:40] narcissus: try making the laptop 192.168.0.2 [17:41] narcissus: they're on different subnets, so it may not work [17:41] Where do I paste an appropriate hal .fdi file? [17:41] MeI1: uh, that file should not look like that. it should be a list of files. that, instead, looks like a piece of your status file...

(sorry if i asked already) [17:41] s/paste/place [17:41] ah [17:41] Viata: that works [17:41] narcissus: :) [17:41] ljl i missed top part [17:41] MeI1: well, it's still wrong [17:42] Viata: I've also enabled ipv4 packet forwarding... so with any luck... [17:42] heya there. I'm looking for a way to create a small pxe bootable image with xserver and gtk... but I don't know where to start looking, so I thought asking here is a good start :D [17:42] MeI1: intrepid or hardy? [17:42] ljl intrepid [17:42] narcissus: let me know if you have any more questions [17:42] Viata: will do, thanks for your help [17:42] MeI1: ok, keep the editor open. remove all the file contents - everything. i'll give you a pastebin to use for that file instead [17:42] ok [17:42] np [17:43] ljl ok [17:43] How do I competely remove ubuntu, so I can make fresh install? [17:44] HIjustme, uhmm mke2fs perhaps ? [17:44] tillux, 'small image' and 'xserver + gtk' are conflicting goals :) [17:44] Kriss3d what?

[17:45] MeI1: ensure that you leave an empty line at the end (but NOT at the beginning) [17:46] and so how can i addition ??? [17:46] is it possible to configure ubuntu to not mount or show a drive that is plugged into USB? [17:46] if i have "234,44" and "345,22" [17:46] ljl empty line?

Use a . instead of a , [17:47] MeI1: you might prefer to close nano and use the graphical editor with "gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine1-misc-plugins*.list" instead [17:47] ljl instead of this file [17:47] ljl /var/lib/dpkg/info/libxine1-misc-plugins.list [17:47] Crooper: Yes, there is.

[18:14] I2, make sure you copy it properly - because that should work alright. [18:14] sky_, i dont think that i understand what you mean? [18:14] Scunizi: it is after install [18:14] i have copy-past you code exactly.... [18:14] A make command gives the error message "you need an ISO C conforming compiler to use glibc headres", isn't gcc ISO c conforming? [18:15] thatryan, Grub should be installed to the MBR and the files into /boot - don't know why that is outside your BIOSs range? It's a mystery to me.

I'd guess it's automount, but don't know for sure - someone here must. What problem are you having? [18:17] sky_, are you sure, or is it just a bug? [18:17] I2, http://pastebin.com/d32a3381 [18:17] hmmm [18:17] zimbres: it certainly should be. are you sure make is invoking the compiler you think it is? [18:17] i must go off :X [18:17] ZykoticK9: yes.. looks like it might be a bios issue (according to google). If there is an option for "IDE Translation" turn it off.

Just want to learn. I didn't see any traces of automount but it has been a long time since I did any automount maps. [18:18] Scunizi, it's actually thatryan that's having the problem - and YES it is due to the kernel being placed outside the reach of BIOS [18:18] I am having issues installing btnx, I have a g7 mouse and some buttons don't work, especially the dpi ones, any help is appreciated, thanks [18:18] ZykoticK9: & thatryan or the drive being to large for the bios? [18:19] thatryan, how big is the drive your using? [18:19] ZykoticK9: 20 GB I just booted gparted live cd and it shows only unallocated 1.96GB space, wtf [18:19] Got someone a problem with direct rendering or 3d things or something like that? [18:20] hareldvd, i remember the horrors of automaount i had back in the day under Gentoo, eventually just manually mounted everything. Under Ubuntu haven't had any problems... [18:20] sipior, since there was configure script, I think it is using gcc. [18:20] thatryan: that's typical for most OS's.. 20gigs does not equal 20 gigs formatted [18:21] then how do you know how to size things? [18:21] thatryan, a 20GB hd should NOT be causing this problem, that's not a particularly large drive by todays standards. [18:21] zimbres: those two things are more or less orthogonal. make should have printed the compilation lines to the terminal: check the compilation immediately preceding the error. [18:22] no its not, thats why I was trying to put linux on this old machine... [18:22] ZykoticK9, i remeber bill gates words [18:22] Incarus, wasn't that about 640k memory though?

After not a very clean shutdown. The back-nutton still is always disabled and there are no prompts in address bar. Firefox has no memory anymore! How to fix?

[18:26] ZykoticK9, he could try to format the 2 (!) gb. [18:26] amgarching: firefox-bin perhaps ? === ron_stoppable is now known as swilcox [18:26] thatryan: do you have LBA enabled in your BIOS?

[18:58] you really _want_ to see the output though [18:58] if you use the run dialog, you won't know if it worked [18:58] Sal, dont know, ctrl+f2 [18:58] if it asks any questions, it'll just stop right there [18:59] crdlb, hm [18:59] crdlb, right [18:59] Sal, use the terminal [18:59] Sal, the vbox additions are a command line install anyways, best get use to doing somethings from command line (takes a little getting use to but it's worth it) [18:59] Hi!, i'm looking for some help with a wireless config problem [18:59] hello [18:59] ctrl+f2 does nothing [18:59] !ndiswrapper | bebi [18:59] bebi: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:59] Sal, use the terminal [18:59] yo [18:59] (i'm not english, so sorry if i cant express myself correctly) [19:00] ive deleted linux with pq magic and then i cant boot vista anymore, any idea on how to restore mbr WITHOUT the vista cd? [19:00] ZykoticK9: if i need to work on the command-line, then i'll return to DOS or better CP/M-86 [19:00] i need help to config flash player in opera [19:00] like a fix cd of some kind [19:00] bebi, which language? [19:00] spanish [19:00] why does vi type letters when im trying to use arrow keys to go to the line im trying to edit ? [19:00] bebi: if you want there is #ubuntu-es [19:00] soppman, have you got a floppy drive? [19:00] oh thank's! [19:00] Incarus: yes [19:00] xD [19:00] Sal, LOL, DOSs command line is NOTHING compared to BASH... LOL [19:00] without ' [19:01] Krissed, arrorws are special keys, try vim === sstringham_lunch is now known as sstringham [19:01] http://realvideosite.com/Comedy_102_Dave-Chapelle---Black-white-supremacist-clip [19:01] ZykoticK9: probably, but to me its both time loosing [19:01] hahah dave chapelle [19:01] Incarus, then how else would i navigate ? i used vi way back in redhat 8.0 and that seemed to work just fine [19:01] anyway, thanks [19:01] soppman, you can download this: http://www.rloe.com/ken/xpquick.zip then put it on a floppy and start from floppy and run "fixmbr" [19:02] Krissed, Incarus is right, i had the same problem until I installed vim "sudo apt-get install vim" and the arrow problem is solved :) [19:02] Krissed, did you tried vim? [19:02] yeah vim works.. but what would make vi work the way its supposed to with arrow keys actually navigating ? [19:02] :S it seems that nobody is active on ubuntu-es [19:03] Krissed, think of vim as vi - it's just the vi-lite that comes with Ubuntu that's crappy. [19:03] ah so its a ubuntu version that blows.. makes sense [19:03] I need some help with 1080p (H264) playback in hardy [19:03] Krissed: You can install the vim-full package if you need more vim functionality. We just don't install that by default. [19:04] hi all [19:04] bebi: you can start checking this if you can go through the english [19:04] !wireless | bebi [19:04] bebi: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:04] !ask | stabler [19:04] stabler: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:04] machine is AMD 64 3200+, 2GB ram, 6800gt [19:04] !wireless [19:04] ok! [19:04] bebi, type ndiswrapper in google [19:04] im getting choppy playback and cpu is pegging out [19:04] stabler, is direct rendering = yes? [19:04] Pici, i got vim and kate so im good.. im just having a bit problems with kdm i wanted to edit some configs.. aparently it wont let me log in as root via the gui login at kdm [19:05] who can help ? [19:05] mmm i'm already checked ndiswrapper [19:05] can someone plese help me with this error I am getting when trying to transfer to a cifs share. cifs: mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory [19:05] Incarus: where would i set that? [19:05] i can conect to the internet [19:05] !ask | skyhate1 [19:05] skyhate1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:05] lesson: never ever play around with ubuntu cd's if the machine on which you are playing does not have a backup made [19:05] but the result of iwconfig is always this: [19:05] Krissed: Correct. Nor should you be logging in as root at all. [19:05] !sudo | Krissed [19:05] Krissed: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:05] maybe this happened b/c it's an old machine [19:05] stabler, paste: "glxinfo | grep direct" [19:05] !eth1 IEEE 802.11 Nickname:"" Access Point: Not-Associated [19:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:06] Pici, i know sudo.. its just that my costumized version of ubuntu actually requires me to be logged in as root [19:06] bebi -> <> [19:06] Krissed, su [19:06] Incarus: yes its turned on [19:06] Krissed: Then it's customized wrong. [19:06] that was there before i paste xD [19:07] stabler, you could run vlc and paste the output, and paste xorg.0.log, but i have to go now [19:07] bye [19:07] I"m getting this error when transferring large files to a cifs share. cifs: mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory. I have looked all over the place for a reason why this is happening. The shares are Windows Vista shares but I haven't found anywhere that mention incompatibility issues with Vista. [19:07] tonyyarusso, nono.. i got reasons for loggin in as root.. basicly its the only way.. otherwise id have to type passwords and sudo all the time [19:07] ok ^^, i have compil an app and when the compilation is finish i got two exécutable file but i don't know how to open it . [19:07] Incarus, what version of Ubuntu is stabler using? if it's 8.10 then direct rendering is always YES (which doesn't really make any sense to me, would be nice to know if it's hardware or software rendering somehow) [19:07] hi all. is it possible to change the resolution of all the pre-Xorg displays and the tty terminal? currently, when not running an X server, everything is 640x480 or so.. is that defined by the BIOS? [19:07] skyhate1, "./FILE" [19:07] Krissed: Typing passwords is the right way. Being insecure because you're lazy is the wrong way. [19:07] ./File ? [19:07] (V) [19:07] I have another computer, and the iwconfig is normal [19:07] i don't understand [19:08] rdz, actually i think that can be set in Grub somehow, i'm not sure though [19:08] ZykoticK9, no, direct rendering is not always yes!? [19:08] Incarus, in 8.10? [19:08] ZykoticK9, yes [19:08] tonyyarusso, its not a matter of being lazy here.. though id actually hate to having to type 15+ character password every other line i do.. and like i said.. its not a matter of being lazy.. i just want root to be enabled in kdm [19:08] in comand line ? [19:08] ZykoticK9, dri is not the same as hardware rendering [19:09] ZykoticK9, cool to know (if it works...) i'll do some more research then.. thanks for the hint [19:09] Incarus: any time you use a mesa-based driver, if there is no 3d acceleration, the software rasterizer kicks in and gives fake direct rendering [19:09] ZykoticK9, dri = yes dont mean that you've got hardware rendering [19:09] Krissed: how is that not lazy? What are you doing that *requires* the entire KDE session running as root? [19:09] so that test is unfortunately useless now [19:09] Incarus, i'm actually repeating what someone else in the channel told me the other day - it didn't make much sense to me... [19:09] crdlb, yes, look at my last message [19:09] ZykoticK9, hm [19:10] crdlib, yes, he should also paste the xorg.0.log [19:10] Incarus ; you wan to know what is the file ? [19:10] tonyyarusso, secutity work actually.. as much as i know everyone here wants me to log on as a regular user thats not much of an option for now at least.. im still seeking to have kdm letting me logging in as root [19:10] Incarus: the only easy test now is 'glxinfo | grep -i software', if that returns Software Rasterizer, then he's using NV [19:10] hello everyone [19:10] hey ppl! anybody in here who has experience with irssi + fserve.pl script?? I got it pretty much set up, but the server doesn't respond to ' !list' command. I have been google-ing all day, only thing i seem to find are tutorial about irssi, and nothing about fserve.pl.. [19:11] skyhate1, no, jost enter "./FILE" to run the file namend FILE [19:11] Krissed: You have failed to say WHY you want to do stupid things still... [19:11] i have to go [19:11] crdlib, and the xorg.0.log [19:11] ok i try [19:11] thanks [19:11] Krissed, logging in as Root is a terrible idea (i know i use to do it when I first switched form Windows World, led to some bad happenings) [19:11] skyhate1, np [19:11] bye [19:11] tonyyarusso, i thought i did.. well anyway im doing alot of security work with programs that wont run unless i do it as root.. its a bit complicated.. but i know what im doing.. [19:11] lol it's look work ^^" [19:12] Krissed: Running programs as root has nothing to do with running your entire session as root. You don't understand what you're doinng. [19:12] ZykoticK9, for most parts.. unless youre "root" or "admin" as it is in windows.. you cant do much.. most programs require it to even run [19:12] Krissed, you need to look into sudo [19:13] tonyyarusso, yes i do but like 90% of my programs requires me to be root.. and yes.. id HATE to having to type sudo and a password every 10 seconds [19:13] Hi i was wondering which program you should use to connect to WLAN's ? [19:13] because this is how often id switch programs and run applications that requires root access [19:13] Krissed: Like I said before, you are simply lazy. If you deserved to be running security-related programs you wouldn't be trying to do insecure things, and we are not going to help you break your system. [19:14] hi tony [19:14] hello all, are there any alternatives to "APTonCD"? [19:14] i mean hi tonyyarusso [19:14] is there some ubuntu package that installs at least madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6 [19:14] <_Whipper__> vieq: many.. google [19:14] it's so ennoing, everytime my kernel is upgraded, my atheros wlan is no longer working [19:15] _Whipper__: thanks [19:15] <_Whipper__> nprblm [19:15] Aison: do you need something not provided by the ath5k driver? [19:15] then I have to download madwifi and compile it myself [19:15] tonyyarusso, i see.. well by now i can do a full setup in a few minutes.. thats not really the issue for me.. besides.. im logged in as root anyway.. if nothing else ill log in without the kdm and that works.. id just prefer it through kdm [19:15] Aison: have you tried LBM? [19:15] does anyone know if ubuntu makes any notable changes to firefox? [19:16] crdlb, danbhfive I have got AR242x WLAN Adapter [19:16] Aison: which is supported by ath5k in linux-backports-modules-intrepid [19:16] atrius: Most of them are in the ubufox extension, although you could check the source package for Ubuntu-specific patches. [19:16] crdlb, maybe it too new to ubuntu ^^ [19:17] atrius: (you could also e-mail the ubuntu-mozillateam mailing list for a summary) [19:17] Aison: it's not supported out of the box, but you just have to install that package [19:17] and enable the other driver in hardware drivers [19:17] crdlb, ok, I will try [19:17] salutare cineva roman [19:17] crdlb, at least I know now where to search ;) [19:17] tonyyarusso: thanks, i ask in particular because on my netbook, using eeebuntu, firefox seems to be sucking a non-trivial amount of cpu power.. even while ostensibly idle [19:18] Can someone help me, I have problem with GRUB. [19:18] tonyyarusso: it will also tend to.. hang.. at times [19:18] cine roman .....? [19:18] cine e [19:18] !ro [19:18] Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [19:18] tonyyarusso: some of that could of course be the "low" power of the netbook of course [19:18] multumesc [19:18] atrius: keep in mind eeebuntu isn't really supported here. anyway i found swiftweasel (even though it's not really supported either...) helped on my own eeepc. though i just use epiphany now. [19:18] atrius: that could depend on the site you are visiting [19:18] Can someone help me, I have problem with GRUB. [19:18] Have new motherboard and CPU installed and now ubuntu does not boot. [19:18] It is only the message "GRUB". [19:18] I already reinstalled grub with a live-cd (this command: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda). [19:18] But it still does not work. [19:19] ISp`TrEaZeR: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:19] sry ok [19:19] ISp`TrEaZeR, "--root-directoy=/mnt" is wrong [19:19] danbhfive: true. flash, javascript, who knows what all, could easily cause such behavior.. however, it doesn't seem to be tied to any particular site or plugins.. rather strange === ISp`TrEaZeR is now known as treazer === crisanouk is now known as nickkk [19:20] LjL: true, however like most "small" channels the actual eeebuntu channel is usually unmanned.. and since it is based on ubuntu.. here i am ;). i'll give swiftweasel a whirl [19:20] <_topper_> hm [19:21] atrius: well, there's #eeepc - here we tend to be pretty strict about using the official versions of ubuntu, because otherwise the "small" differences can make all the difference by confusing waters [19:21] Quick help? I was experimenting with running a second X server, which I have since closed, but now I can't launch anything from Gnome. [19:21] LjL: understandably so :) [19:22] Trying to run things from eshell in emacs says "no protocol specified" and "cannot open display :0.0" [19:22] hi all [19:22] Not sure if I should be able to launch gui programs from eshell, but I think I should. [19:23] atrius: anyway give epiphany a try too, i find it also mitigates a lot the problem i have with firefox (and to a lesser extent swiftweasel) of things freezing up for short amount of times when scrolling or switching tabs [19:23] has anyone installed wifidog on ubuntu? === marshall_ is now known as marshall [19:23] LjL: thanks :) [19:23] LjL: do you know why there is a separate kernel in eeebuntu (etc)? Why not just include the eee specific fixes in the regular ubuntu kernel? [19:23] Hi, which program do you use to connect to your WLAN (: ? === phox_ is now known as phox [19:24] danbhfive: because they break other stuff. anyway if you ask that in #eeepc you'll probably get a lot of answers... [19:24] idiot [19:24] mk [19:24] atrius: running any heavy-duty extensions in your firefox perhaps ? you could try the -safe-mode startup switch to temporarily disable extensions and themes to see if it improves anything if you haven't allready tried this [19:24] phox: excuse me? [19:24] random guy who just got ghosted. [19:24] LOVELINUX: you mean as a frontend? or the actual program to configure connections like ifconfig does for wired connections? [19:24] join #ubuntu-es [19:24] sorry for bringing this here, though. heh. [19:24] getting tired of having to release my nick -every- time I log on :) [19:24] join #ubuntu-es [19:24] glitsj16: not at present, i disabled all extensions aside from adblock. [19:24] quit [19:25] david_: con un / antes [19:25] david_: /join #ubuntu-es [19:25] glitsj16: i'll try the safe-mode startup as well though [19:25] phox: /quit properly so you don't leave a ghost! [19:25] gracias [19:25] hi [19:25] atrius: hm, i mean if there is a wireless internet in your area, what do you do to connect to it ? [19:25] hello every one [19:25] bigrigger: it's not me. I'm bored of it, so I've set enforce on... some people just don't take a hint, heh.... [19:25] later. [19:26] hey i m a new user to Ubuntu and I m seeking help over how to install voice and video chat for yahoo [19:26] in ubuntu [19:26] help me please! [19:26] LOVELINUX: well, given that i normally am a gentoo user what _I_ do might not be would _you_ would like to do.. however, i do know that network manager works pretty well :) [19:27] atrius: network manager... work.... mwahahaha [19:27] u hu can help me please [19:27] sorry [19:27] deepshikha: I'm not sure what you're asking for is possible. pidgin, the nominal standard for IM in most linux distros, does not to my knowledge support voice and video chat for any protocols [19:27] atrius: okay, ad blocking is know to be causing slow loads .. if it turns out to be really smoother without adblock, there's privoxy you can use as alternative to do your adblocking (system-wide) ... "lightens" some load off of any webbrowser btw [19:27] LjL: hehehehe... well.. it fails less.. how about that? ;) [19:28] i wonder if im lagging [19:28] glitsj16: i could see how that would be the case. however, in this instance the "issue" existed prior to it's being installed [19:28] thx atrius for rep me , I am using pidgin , I even tried kopete and ekiga too [19:28] atrius: Hm okay, hwhere do you find that on your ubuntu ? [19:28] but was of no use [19:28] deepshikha, according to http://www.justskins.com/open-source/video-chat-on-ubuntu/920 a program called Gyachi can use Yahoo [19:28] i am getting low resolution on my Nvidia card much less than its capable of after in install the propertitary driver any one have a solution ? [19:28] deepshikha: so far i as i know the only voice/video program working on linux is skype. others may know more. i can say that skype works great though [19:29] <_Whipper__> sushi:177.x driver [19:29] <_Whipper__> or 180+ [19:29] oh but gyachi will help me for both voice and video ZykoticK9 [19:29] LOVELINUX: i imagine it is in the repositories. someone who is more of ubuntu user could tell you more about it though. all i can say is that it was part of the standard load on eeebuntu. LjL, is it standard on "normal" ubuntu? [19:29] deepshikha, I have no idea - i only use Skype for video chatting [19:29] please tell me the command to install gyachi ,i have tried this one " sudo apt-get install gyachi" === kuba is now known as Guest8269 [19:30] LOVELINUX: it should be in your tray [19:30] atrius: Okay thanks for your help [19:30] LOVELINUX: sure :) [19:30] deepshikha, Gyache is only available in source code form, from http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/ [19:31] atrius wil this command work to install skype? command: sudo apt-get install skype [19:31] LjL: well, that's a kick in the parts... swiftweasel isn't in the eee's repository.. hehehe [19:31] crdlb: ohh i had removed it by mistake, now i got it again.. :) [19:31] deepshikha: if it is in the standard repository yes.. failing that, you can get a .deb package from skype's page at http://www.skype.com [19:31] hi guys I'm in need of desperate need of help, though its much to my fault. I didn't save a large file that I rewrote (my computer crashed and rebooted) in Kate and its not in /tmp/ ... anything I can do to recover it? :\ [19:31] thx [19:32] deepshikha: they also provide a version for windows, the n800/n810, and various mobile phones [19:32] crdlb: But can i also connect to wireless internet with the network manager ? [19:32] oh ok thx atrius [19:32] deepshikha, you might need to add the medibuntu repo before you can install skype? I know it's in medibuntu not sure about the default install [19:32] LOVELINUX: wifi? yes, that's its main purpose [19:33] ZykoticK9: without listing everything there in, is there anything else of great interest in that repository? [19:33] crdlb: But when i click on my wifi then nothing happends .. it sometimes ask me for my password and then nothings happends [19:33] <_FReeZ> ubuntu sux, BSD rulez! :D [19:33] hey there are two version available for [19:33] !vnc [19:33] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [19:33] gyache [19:33] atrius, yup it's got the dvdcss codec for playing dvds [19:33] LOVELINUX: what wireless chipset do you have? [19:33] 1.0.5 and 1.1.0 which one is suitable?? [19:33] ZykoticK9: ah, that would be rather handy :) [19:33] atrius, and the avicodecs for propriety movie stuff [19:33] !freenx [19:33] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [19:34] crdlb: chipset? [19:34] ZykoticK9: that would be more handy for the netbook :) [19:34] LOVELINUX: do you have any command line knowledge? === kb is now known as Guest54565 [19:34] crdlb: Yes a little bit [19:35] LOVELINUX: try this on the command line then: lspci | grep -i wireless [19:35] LOVELINUX: that will tell you what kind of wireless card you have [19:35] atrius: mine doesn't contain 'wireless', fwiw :) [19:35] atrius: okay ill try that [19:35] DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0 [19:35] crdlb: really? that's a pain [19:35] heheh [19:36] atrius: they really should say 'Ethernet', but some don't [19:36] atrius: it doesnt do anything when i write it [19:36] crdlb: yeah, mine says ethernet and wireless.. i would have thought "wireless" would be kinda required. well.. as much as anything is anyway [19:36] it just says 802.11abg [19:37] LOVELINUX: that is unfortunate. try this instead: lspci | egrep -i '802.11|ethernet|wireless' [19:37] heh [19:37] crdlb: that ought to catch everything, no? [19:37] hhehe [19:37] ok, what would cause an evdo card to work fine then get to the point where it connects for a couple minutes and lose all throughput, then just start working fine again? [19:37] atrius: okay ill check it :) [19:38] Craz3dLunatic: Failure in the Magic Engine? ;) [19:38] well, I am running 8.10 with alltel service and thats what I am dealing with [19:39] LjL: any idea what PGO means as far as swiftweasel goes? [19:39] and I could lose this room at any time [19:39] atrius: it says this nicolai@nicolai:~$ lspci | egrep -i '802.11|ethernet|wireless [19:39] > [19:39] LOVELINUX: er... hmmm... [19:39] i am getting low resolution on my Nvidia card much less than its capable of after in install the propertitary driver any one have a solution ? [19:40] im having a bit of a hardtime getting ubuntu/xserver-xorg to read my xorg.conf.. I went through dpkg-reconfigure, set some stuff up about my keyboard, added the option "ctrl:swapcaps" however, it still it using caps lock as caps lock, and ctrl as ctrl [19:40] Viata, is freeNX that much more awesome than VNC? [19:40] LOVELINUX: do you know how to send private messages on here? [19:40] yes [19:40] ohzie: I do not know, I've never used it before [19:40] LOVELINUX: okay.. i didn't want to flood the channel with this next one [19:40] help i need to replace pulseaudio with oss or alsa, is there anywhere a guide for that? [19:40] ohzie: but I currently use VNC and it works fine for my needs. I'll probably try out freeNX today though when I get off of work [19:40] LOVELINUX: just do: lspci and pm me everything [19:41] ohzie, i install FreeNX the other day - wasn't too impressed, but it does run over SSH so it's MUCH more secure then using straight VNC over the internet [19:41] Viata, currently I use vnc as well, but I very rarely have to do the remoting thing. Soon I'll have to use it pretty consistently, along with remote-X, and an alternative might be amusing. [19:41] what's a good alternative to AWN that doesn't need compiz to run well? cairo looks like crap without compiz [19:41] windows laptop, linux desktop/workstation. [19:42] onthefence928: perhaps you can get gnome-do + docky with metacity compositing to work [19:42] atrius: he left off the trailing ' [19:42] onthefence928, Avant? [19:42] ohzie: I agree, I'm always up for trying new technologies. I saw someone mention freeNX earlier, so that's why I asked the channel admin about it [19:42] crdlb: you are correct [19:42] deenda: i'm trying to avoid compsiting in general [19:42] ohzie: AWN = avant [19:42] onthefence928, xfwm imo [19:43] onthefence928: for what it's worth, AWN is working on implementing a non-composited mode [19:43] I'm unsure as to whether it serves your purposes, but for a long time before I made a full switch to xfce, I used xfwm within gnome. [19:43] Can someone help me with vnc? I installed the vnc4server on my desktop and I have been trying to connect to it through vinagre (I guess its called "Remote Desktop Viewer" on ubuntu?) but every time I try to connect it just says "Connection to host "" was closed."

I used it sometimes with fluxbox [19:47] but the kicker for kde4 is really bad for that. [19:47] scottg489: can you telnet to the machine you're trying to connect to on port 5900?

Would that be closer to what you're looking for? [19:49] onthefence928, xfce4-panel [19:50] ohzie: i'll look into it [19:50] Viata: Hm, im not sure. I dont have much experience with telnet [19:50] deepshikha: you need to unpack that file and manually install it. [19:50] Viata: I can ssh to it though [19:51] Someone experiences with curlftpfs and ssl? [19:51] panesar_sandeep: enable your repositories, its in the optional/internet section in synaptic. [19:52] scottg489: if you can telnet to the machine on port 5900, it will show you if the port is actually open or not. try this. open up terminal, type telnet 5900 [19:52] scottg489: so if the machine you're trying to connect to is 192.168.1.2, type "telnet 192.168.1.2 5900" [19:52] Anyone familiar with ndiswrapper issues? Specifically wusb54gs 64bit issues. [19:52] Viata: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [19:53] then VNC is probably not running on the machine, and/or the port is blocked [19:53] scottg489: try starting/restarting the VNC software manually [19:53] Viata: Well all I did was install vnc4server. I assumed it would have started automatically [19:53] Viata: How would i restart the server?

That command, as per the "man" page, should stop/start it whenever you execute it in terminal. [19:57] i've got this issue with kaffeine. some videos crash my laptop. i was watching a movie (Rocknrolla), and when it reached the very end, and looped back to the next/previous item in the playlist (an episode of Weeds), the screen went black, and I got a message saying 'Stopping Anacron' and then 'Starting Anacron'. i could still hear the video playing, but the screen stayed in that black-anacron-message state. i had to Ctrl-Alt-Del. it's happened before, and even C-A [19:57] anyone get Mupen64plus working? how do i add plugins? =/ i got the .so file.. but where do I put it?

[19:58] dayo: It possible your laptop started to go into power-saving mode from being idle? [19:59] coreyman: so to make sure I understand, you can see the folder being shared on the machine sharing it, but you can't see it across the network on another machine? [19:59] Picassotamus: but it wasn't idle. i had just taken kaffeine out of fullscreen.

[20:01] 9 out of 10 boots it gives the same USB warning but boots normally [20:01] just sometimes it doesnt [20:01] i dont know why [20:01] Fenix|work→ if so, what would you ask them?

So in the menu bar at the top, when you select "connect to server," and type the machine name of the server followed by the folder, what happens?

[20:03] Viata: so the server is running but i get a refused connection on telnet still [20:04] i think it's an ACPI issue since acer needs to be set to OS type LINUX or acpi=off boot option to work normally [20:04] viata on wich machine [20:04] maybe it needs other tweaks??? [20:04] in the BIOS [20:04] scottg489: And VNC still fails to connect? [20:04] coreyman: do that on the non-hosting machine [20:04] Viata: yea [20:04] ScottG489: Are you using a lan or wan address?

[20:05] srry: the error is varnish, I mistakenly installed it and have NO idea what to with it. [20:05] o0Chris0o: Try opening a folder view of the drive and then using right mouse button on the folder to choose 'properties'. [20:06] magnetron, it starts but nothing is logged... and going to eicar and downloading the test file allows it through [20:06] hello can anybody please tell me the command to issue to terminal to install Gyachi ?

[20:06] stroyan: ok done [20:06] u can't run a bat file thats for windows [20:06] praj_, you will need a DOS emulator such as dosbox [20:06] praj_ you dont. [20:06] I mesed my grub after install fedora,and now i cant boot ubuntu...any help? [20:06] praj_→ use either Dosbox or dosemu. [20:07] oh,i gtg [20:07] o0Chris0o: Does that give you an editable 'Name' field? [20:07] scottg489: is it running in the background? I think the command is "ps aux | grep vncserver" [20:07] Hi all - what's the simplest way to configure the ubuntu init scripts so I can hit control-c during init scripts and have it reach that init script (or alternatively have the control-alt-delete interruption things from "safe mode" always work)? [20:07] bye [20:07] ScottG489: You're using another box to connect to the machine the vnc-server is on, correct? [20:07] it does, but it says Operation not supported by backend [20:07] magnetron, I actually have it configured to use squid... but squid has the line: cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 8080 0 no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange default added to it [20:08] Fenix|work→ did you restart squid after you edited the squid config? [20:08] yes [20:08] Viata: yea i used that command before to see if it was running and it is [20:08] coreyman: in the menu, when you click on "network" underneath the different home folders (on the non server), do you see any other machines in your network workgroup, including the one you want to connect to?

[20:11] viata should i enable wins server. [20:11] Probably the easiest way to see what X driver you're using is to look in /var/log/Xorg.log [20:11] but you'll need to read a bit.

[20:12] scottg489: nalfeshnee is correct, you can always try another type of vnc server [20:12] Improv: the sudo lshw -C video command works for me [20:13] Viata: Yea but i dont see what im doing wrong with this one [20:13] !info gyachi [20:13] Package gyachi does not exist in intrepid [20:13] magnetron, any more ideas?

[20:13] coreyman: I'm not sure, to be honest. I haven't networked windows to Ubuntu machines and vica versa before. I'm sorry. [20:14] magnetron, thank you [20:14] danbhive: I don't actually have that command (I use a different distro but am here to ask some things about the ubuntu init scripts for a project I'm doing at work) [20:14] viata great, just great i've been trying to get this to work for two days now and noone in the channel can help.... :( [20:14] Improv: mk [20:14] firewall? even if its an internal ip? [20:14] whoa.... [20:15] ScottG489: Firewalls are finicky. [20:15] scottg489: firewalls can affect it, but ubuntu doesn't have a default firewall as far as I know. [20:15] Nalfeshnee: thats kinda why i wanted to try to do this internally first so i could weed out any local problems and not have to worry about external ports and such [20:15] my system time always keeps changing i boot up in ibex. is there a fix for this? [20:15] ScottG489: Even if you use another version of VNC you can still do it internally. [20:16] mezy: Time is supposed to change. Time waits for no man. ;-) [20:16] ScottG489: Using another version of VNC allows you to decipher whether or not the issue lies with the said vnc-server or whether it exists elsewhere. [20:16] Fenix|work→ yes, you DO have to remove the line "REMOVETHISLINE" [20:16] magnetron, even if it's commented out? [20:16] ScottG489: Otherwise you're just poking around in random directions assuming that something here works -- when it may not. [20:16] i m not use to for ubunto how to use network ?

[20:17] magnetron, clamlib is enabled [20:17] mezy: Are you dual booting with windows? Do you have the hardware RTC set to local time or UTC time?

Work isn't fun. :| In my experience though, Tightvnc has always worked right out of the box. ^_^ [20:18] I remember reading somewhere that one could use an SD memory card as a smart card of sorts, so when you insert it into your computer it logs you in.

Perhaps the udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/*lirc* is starting lircd before other dependencies are ready. [20:50] 8 years on debian.

[20:54] Delvien: cannot find output "VGA" [20:54] What exactly does it mean to enable the "IOMMU option" (installation cd asks for it.)? [20:54] perlmonkey: ah,DVI? [20:54] and how do I do it. [20:54] perlmonkey: well, i mean do you run DVI? [20:54] stroyan: also im using a mceusb2 adapter after i ran lirc stop and hten start it again it doesnt seem to accept anything and --driver=mceusb2 it says unsupported [20:54] Delvien: using an ordinary LCD VGA monitor [20:54] VGA port [20:55] TnadeN-> which installation cd you got that from? ubuntu? [20:55] perlmonkey: try xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024×768 --rate 75 first [20:55] stroyan: the weird thing is though when i just reboot my computer and plug it in, it works [20:55] ok [20:55] n8tuserf: yep [20:55] n8tuserf: amd64 8.10 [20:55] vernet: I'm playing around with the settings, none of them are letting me control it [20:55] anyone know how to get a wusb54gs working using ndswrapper? *(64bit)* [20:56] TnadeN-> i dont know, but it seems to translate to i/o memory management unit ? [20:56] perlmonkey: work? [20:56] n8tuserf: it says it will cost me 64mb of ram if that is any clue [20:56] Delvien:command executed but doesn't seem to have made any difference... xrandr doesn't show any higher resolutions available [20:56] !compile > deepshikha [20:56] deepshikha, please see my private message [20:57] perlmonkey: and you tried "xrandr --addmode VGA 1024×768" [20:57] TnadeN-> i have not come across such before, thats new, but then again i dont hve 64bit system [20:57] Delvien: cannot find output "VGA" [20:57] n8tuserf: I don't think it's required anyway, I only see it when the error messages from the cd i burnt is showed === Raphael_S_Auei is now known as Raphael_S [20:58] n8tuserf: burning new cd atm... hopefully I won't see it again :P [20:58] perlmonkey: Do you have video card drivers installed?

[20:59] Delvien: I believe so, I just did a modprobe mga, I think that's the correct driver for Matrox G200 card [20:59] Veinor, not sure [20:59] whats not going through alsa anyways? [20:59] Im running ubuntu, with a fat32 partition for media files. Thing is, sometimes it changes name in the /media/ directory, sometimes disk, other times disk-1. It often changes when im inserting mp3 player etc. How can i make my secondary disk partition's address static?

I'm running Ubuntu on an Asus eee netbook. I'm looking at adding some of the acpi scripts so my laptop keys for volume, etc function. On installation of 'eeepc-acpi-scripts' through Synaptic, it says it's wanting to remove 3 packages. acpi-support, powermanagement-interface, and ubuntu-desktop. Obviously, this doesn't seem right. Anybody have any info on why it would want to remove those 3 packages?

[21:00] !ask arandomguy [21:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask arandomguy [21:00] strange: The strace command might give more hints about complaints that it can't support that driver. It would let you see what files lircd was reading and looking for. But its output does make for heavy reading.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:00] is it possible to remove the drm protection on ubuntu? [21:00] what drm protection? [21:01] hi [21:01] drm protection on itunes music [21:01] DRM protection is a protection for media files. We probably shouldn't discuss that!

[21:01] thrope_: gnome-network-manager in a terminal, iirc [21:01] this is an old install thats been uprgaded many times so maybe its missing [21:02] that's not it [21:02] NetworkManager [21:02] arandomguy, stripping DRM from files is a very touchy subject and can be interpreted as illegal. Freenode's terms of service indicate it to not be tolerated. Sorry. [21:02] (caps are important) [21:02] nm-applet is the tray icon [21:02] yeah [21:02] Huufarted: It looks like eeepc-acpi-scripts is actually pretty useless, and broken: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eeepc-acpi-scripts/+bug/262679 [21:02] NetworkManager is a system service [21:02] stroyan: i have it running in foreground now [21:02] waiting for it to crash :P [21:02] NetworkManager is the actual manager, nm-applet is the applet. don't know if nm-applet starts NetworkManager [21:03] running NetworkManager doesnt do anything for me (it runs, has to be run as root, but just returns) [21:03] rww, I'm looking at that now and I'm seeing the same thing. [21:03] strange: Waiting for a crash should just about double its lifespan. ;-) [21:03] rww, hahaha... I just found the exact same link [21:03] nm-applet I dont have on my path [21:04] is this the right way to go about setting up wireless? never used it before on this box but plugged in a usb wifi dongle - have always configured network manually the old fashioned way [21:04] Huufarted: the last comment says to load the eeepc_laptop module. You can do that with "modprobe eeepc_laptop" (which will last until the computer shuts down) and by adding eeepc_laptop to /etc/modules (which will apply on startup) [21:04] stroyan: i know :P [21:04] what should i install to get the networkmanager stuff to easily configure wirelesS? [21:04] thrope_: what do you mean by easily configure wireless? [21:05] Nalfeshnee: i mean configure it with a gui thing, choose networks etc [21:05] rww, what's modprobe? [21:05] generally get it working without having to spend hours reading up config files [21:05] Huufarted: it's a terminal command that loads kernel modules [21:05] rww, thank you. [21:05] thrope_: You can just run the network manager? Or whatever it's called? [21:05] Nalfeshnee: point is i dont seem to have that [21:06] thrope_: What version of Ubuntu did you install? [21:06] unless someone can tell me what its called - thats what im asking - what i need to isntall to get that [21:06] its 8.10 but its been upgraded since along time [21:06] i've always configured entwork manually [21:07] thrope_: Weird... I have hardware issues with 8.10 distributions,.. 8.04 too... so I will unfortunately not be much help. <.< [21:07] rebooting didn't help :/ [21:07] how do i find where my files are loaded (the files i loaded from the terminal)? [21:08] thrope_: Remove any manual configuration for the interface you want to configure with networkmanager, install network-manager-gnome, and run the command nm-applet to load the GNOME applet. [21:08] thrope_: rww wins. [21:08] rww, I have the module loaded, but how do you access modules loaded by modprobe? [21:08] rww: cheers - i will try [21:08] !modprobe [21:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe [21:08] Huufarted: what do you mean by "access"? [21:09] rww, once the module is loaded, I would assume it allows the hotkeys to interact with Ubuntu (volume, wifi, etc). But how do I access what it enables? [21:09] vernet: OK... so when I open alsamixer, I can adjust the volume [21:09] but none of the stuff in the volume preferences settings will work [21:09] how do you check cpu status [21:10] jedi06: top [21:10] can someone help me this scheme: xbox -ethernet-> pc ubuntu -wifi-> router -adsl-> internet? i need the configure the pc to share the internet with the xbox [21:10] i knew that [21:10] well how do you see dual core cpu usage [21:10] Huufarted: If the hotkeys don't work after the modprobe, you might need to restart (after editing /etc/modules) or edit System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts to your taste [21:10] jedi06: press 1 [21:10] jedi06: inside top, that is [21:10] understood, rww. Thanks [21:10] jedi06: i recommend htop, it's better :P [21:11] htop rules [21:11] interesting only one of my cpus is being used [21:11] so vbox doesn't use both cpus [21:11] you have two cpu's or two cores [21:12] well two cores i guess [21:12] Hi all, as you may be aware, ICQ does no longer work with the standard 8.10 pidgin [21:12] some programs may/may not show/use the usage of two cores [21:12] can you let us know when there will be a patch? [21:13] (i have propsed updates switched on) [21:13] can some help configuring internet connection sharing? [21:13] darkfile, pidgin 2.5.2 comes with intrepid, pidgin 2.5.5 is currently the latest available [21:14] www.getdeb.net search for pidgin [21:14] hm, but i guess intrepid will be patched?! [21:14] otherwise the intrepid client is totally useless now? [21:14] udevd-event[6310]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit [21:15] sigh.. sorry udevd-event[6310]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit.. why would the installer say that? [21:15] darkfile, i am only suggesting that there is a later version of pidgin you can try [21:15] darkfile, I don't think ICQ works in 2.5.4 either [21:15] darkfile: It's a known bug, the newest version of pidgin solves it, and it looks like that version will get backported. [21:15] i see [21:15] can some help configuring internet connection sharing?? [21:15] pushi ga [21:15] i need som help to install my webcam! [21:16] i will try to install pidgin in my home folder in the meantime (i want to rely on maintained packes from apt as far as possible) [21:16] well in the guest os it only shows one cpu [21:16] *** Scanning #ubuntu for clones.. [21:16] *** Scan completed (297ms) [21:16] :S [21:16] darkfile, might be a better solution to temporary try another client [21:16] like kopete or something [21:16] no it knows that it is a dual core [21:16] darkfile: specifically, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340075 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/340151 have information [21:17] darkfile: in fact, by the looks of bug 340151, it's in intrepid-proposed now, so you should get it pretty soon. [21:18] thanks for the links [21:18] im very bad in finding such stuff *g [21:18] where are the processes stored that load once you log into the gui?

I'd like to expand my ubuntu partition (2nd on the drive) what's the best way to do this? [21:22] how do I do root user? Gparted says I need to be in as root [21:22] Nalfeshnee: I'm using a Matrox G200 card, it uses the mga driver I think I did a modprobe and seemed to load ok..my system was working fine in 8.04 and I'm using same xorg.conf [21:22] rww, yea, i have selected ff there [21:22] tokies: add 'sudo ' to the beginning [21:22] tokies: run "gksudo gparted" and put in your user password [21:22] so instead of gparted [21:22] run [21:22] !gksudo | Veinor [21:22] Veinor: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [21:22] is there a better channel in which I should ask my question? I feel as if I am in the wrong topic based channel. [21:23] rww: technically not true, as I read somewhere that gksudo can mess up in some cases [21:23] oh thanks I thought I i did it wrong. Thank you [21:23] but yes, gksudo [21:23] bluelightningvid: What is your question? [21:23] anywya [21:23] thanks rww [21:23] Nalfeshnee: I was wondering if there is a program for ubuntu that will allow me to edit aep files(after effects projects) [21:23] www.google.com [21:23] perlmonkey: Unfortunately I am not the greatest person to ask.:\ You've already sapped up my knowledge. Try probing rww. [21:24] ok [21:24] is there a way to adjust what volume setting my volume keys adjust? [21:24] er [21:24] what mixer [21:24] or whatever the term is [21:24] Veinor, what laptop model? [21:24] hp pavilion dv9235nr [21:24] the volume keys work fine on internal speakers [21:24] just not on external USB ones [21:24] Veinor: gksudo for graphical apps, sudo for command line apps. if gksudo is breaking graphical apps, file a bug. [21:25] rww: cancel what I said, I had it backwards [21:25] that's an adobe proprietary format, isn't it, bluelightningvid? [21:25] Nalfeshnee: yes [21:25] any more ideas?? [21:25] as it is, it only seems to control laptop speaker volumes [21:25] which is annoying [21:26] Nalfeshnee: but gimp for example, can edit psds, photoshop documents [21:26] i put another hardive into this laptop from another ut was a dualboot setup ubuntu boots fine but xp wont boot [21:26] bluelightningvid: Right right. hmm.

[21:27] ah [21:27] aha, fixed it! [21:27] Any ideas [21:27] is there any software like ichat available for linux? kinda need to do peercast of my screen and that kinda stuff.... [21:27] bluelightningvid: You will want to look on wine forums for that, but.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahshaka you might want to check that out? [21:28] i have a question. I'm using wine to play s4 League, the game runs almost perfect but there is only a problem. I only can run the game by doubleclicking the exe icon in nautilus, i cannot create a symlink. When i try to make a shortcut or ln, the link only works if it's located inside the games folder, not when i put inside the Desktop folder. Does this have any sense? [21:28] I have 8.04 server running with a Samba Share -- only in Open Office, I'm getting a request for my password and when I enter it, the windows keeps popping up requesting is again [21:28] Nalfreshnee: I will try it thank you [21:28] The OO help file says something about WebDV and https...shrug? [21:29] could it be the windows bootloader? [21:29] ntldr [21:29] how do i install flash player on 64bit ubuntu??? [21:30] it says wrong architecture [21:30] to give you some more help, i have set them to open in opera but no luck [21:30] can fix that via linux [21:30] tehfalcon, download flash 10 for 64 bits , beta version [21:30] ok [21:30] since can browse the win pation] [21:30] i was wondering, is there anyway to switch to 32 bit without a fresh install? [21:31] tehfalcon: no [21:31] darn [21:31] Nalfeshnee: I searched for the application in: Add/Remove Applications, and it isn't there. Also tried the Synaptic Package Manager and isn't there. Do you know of a place I could find it to download? [21:31] rww: not even a change of kernel? [21:31] My installer hangs up at starting bluetooth and I also get a udevd-event[6310]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit.. any ideas? [21:31] tehfalcon - do you not like 64-bit? [21:31] i should have listed to someone telling me that 32 is better for newbies [21:32] how i can remove exim4 i can't remove it ?everytime i install give me code error exim4 not config [21:32] grenn: the point is that everything is confuse [21:32] emma, tehfalcon: Nope, because all of the non-kernel stuff is 64-bit too. Changing to 32-bit would involve replacing every single package on your system, which 1) wouldn't work 2) would take longer than reinstalling. === rizitis_ is now known as rizitis [21:32] :( [21:33] well, almost every single package.

[22:35] what are the lines that coe aftter your ubuntu kernel mine says ro splash [22:35] LjL, eh...no thanks... i need to also add pictures and vids [22:35] but i get no splash [22:35] Stylee: i guess it's possible, what does "find /lib/modules | grep it87" say? === istvan_ is now known as istvan_off [22:35] hi [22:35] unko: nothing on that page mentions WINE. i'd imagine if it could be used with WINE, then someone would have explained it. [22:35] hi [22:36] i cant boot ubuntu [22:36] unko: though, no harm in trying i guess. [22:36] ljl http://paste.ubuntu.com/129557/ [22:36] LjL, yeah i know how to get it working it's just a painful proccess [22:36] ActionParsnip: Yes, I did. 8.10 just doesn't like my system.. I think it may be the harddrive and the 32 bit versions just don't work. [22:36] g9andreas200, sure you can - just be positive [22:36] it seems it is [22:36] unko: then if you know that, then by all means add the instructions to that page, please.

[22:37] I really don't mean to be a pain, but is anyone here experienced with sound issues? [22:37] Stylee: and your currently running kernel is? (uname -r) [22:37] Nalfeshnee: its the chip in the usb device you are sing [22:37] LjL, you know im talking about itunes right? [22:37] Stylee: I read somewhere it87 does not support later chipsets. Not sure about the status. You might want to check your chipset against the current i87 capabilities [22:37] unko: it's a wiki, the information is only there as long as someone adds them [22:37] unko: yes. but itunes can be purchased legally, no? [22:37] ljl http://paste.ubuntu.com/129557/ [22:37] ljl sorr [22:37] ljl 2.6.27-13-generic [22:38] * perlmonkey has come to conclusion that 8.10 is b0rked [22:38] LjL, you don't have to buy the software...im gonna use wine to run it. but with itunes 8.x you have to patch wine to get it to install and somewhat work [22:38] Stylee: ok so you have the module, what happens when you "sudo modprobe it87"? (also, which device is this for?) [22:38] oCean_: hmm lm-sensors said that I should use it, I will check [22:38] i modify the soutce.list [22:38] trying to get info on a package [22:38] apt-get info ? [22:38] how can i recover it [22:38] gonna have to uninstall 8.10 and write it off as a bad release :-/ [22:38] unko: well, it would be extremely useful for iPod users if you could add instructions on doing that to that wiki page [22:39] ljl FATAL: Error inserting it87 (/lib/modules/2.6.27-13-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko): No such device [22:39] LjL: it87 is a lmsensors thing [22:39] LjL, i have no clue how to do a wiki...wanna help me?

[22:39] oCean_: I have x58 [22:39] LjL, no not with the ipod touch...:[ [22:39] LjL: those usually do not load automatically you have to add them to /etc/modules...

(and my Apache2.conf has a NameVirtualHost directive) [22:41] newest does not = best [22:41] perlmonkey: 8.10 hasn't been all that bad, although I was upset when k3b broke [22:42] LjL, ok.. [22:42] I didn't have this problem when I installed my linux 2 months ago [22:42] I think its better to stay a bit behind eh, too many surprises in new releases === bastl is now known as bAsTl [22:42] LjL gracias, por tu ayuda, y por entenderme por que es medio extraño el problema :) [22:42] PunkiD: si quieres entrar en #ubuntu-es ahora, puedo hacertelo yo [22:43] Gnea: i can't even get my gfx card supported and its the old g200 by matrox thats werked up to 8.04 [22:43] Hi, I'm using Xubuntu and remastersys to create a live cd... it worked for a number of builds but then it stopped working... the live cd boots but it does not log in automatically... it simply asks for user and password which of course don't exists.... what might cause this. found many forum entries but no solution [22:44] perlmonkey: wow... just for giggles 'n grins, have you had the time to try jaunty? [22:44] hi all [22:45] Gnea: I wont touch it :P [22:45] Gnea I'm going bak to 8.04 and never upgrading again :P [22:45] LjL, how do i create a wiki page? [22:46] perlmonkey: lol [22:46] oh no where is DreamGlider [22:46] hehe [22:46] go to 9.04 [22:46] i installed hfsprogs from apt-get .. i have no man page [22:46] is this normal ? [22:46] unko: just type in the URL for a page that doesn't yet exist, and it will give you an option for creating it. but i'd suggest you edit the existing iPod page instead... [22:46] as its LTS, it will be "conservative" as well [22:46] darkfile: 9.04 won't be LTS [22:46] LjL, whats the exitsting one? [22:46] not? [22:46] :( [22:46] sorry [22:46] I go through the install flash dialog in firefox, but after it completes,...no flash. Still says "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." Using hardy. === FreddyGonzo is now known as minimec [22:47] i thought the .04 are conservative LTS [22:47] unko, the one i gave you, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone. just add a chapter like "Sync using iTunes in WINE" or something [22:47] and the .10 are the experimental have fun stuff [22:47] osmosis: try in an terminal "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [22:47] darkfile: nope. 10.whatever should be LTS i think [22:47] osmosis, do you use X64? [22:47] or 32? [22:47] is there a way to stick a program to a certain workspace? [22:47] 32 [22:47] LjL, sync? i don't know how to get the sync working [22:47] darkfile: .10 and .04 are just months [22:48] yes [22:48] unko: eh, transfer files, whatever - i'm not too familiar with iPod terminology :) [22:48] but usually the .04 releases are more conservative [22:48] LjL, no i mean i only know how to get it installed on wine... [22:48] !lts [22:48] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [22:48] automatix: flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [22:48] and the .10 releases are more "innovative" [22:48] darkfile: that could be, i've never actually noticed that. anyway they aren't necessarily LTS [22:48] osmosis: do you have other flash installed like gnash or else? [22:48] hehe, ok thx [22:49] automatix: nope, never. [22:49] unko: ah, but... getting it installed is one thing, actually getting it to talk to the iPod is, i'm afraid, a very different thing :\ [22:49] osmosis: if you go to www.adobe.com and download the tar.gz file, you can extract the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins [22:49] ActionParsnip: is that a better way ? [22:50] can someone help me install my lexmark printer? [22:50] osmosis: its how i do it [22:50] o0Chris0o: what model? [22:50] !ask | o0Chris0o [22:50] o0Chris0o: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:50] flash doesnt show up in the plugins dialog in firefox either [22:50] automatix, I didn't ask to ask a question, but thanks for pointing it out for others [22:50] LjL, wait...when itunes installs dosn't it see the ipod as a acual ipod? [22:50] so weird [22:50] ActionParsnip: its x5340 [22:51] osmosis: sounds like a solution then. you'll need to run: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins [22:51] LjL, i didn't install 8.x on ubuntu yet im in the proccess of doing so [22:51] LjL, pm me so i can keep a convo with you i gotta go eat dinner. :] [22:51] unko: look, i don't have an ipod, but i really suspect iTunes under WINE won't see the iPod at all. try, but keep your expectations low. [22:52] looks like the package contains just a bunch of directories. I dont even see the plugin. http://dpaste.com/12214/ [22:52] unko: well i'm not going anywhere (for a couple of hours), so just highlight me [22:53] hello there :-) which one is the better/more stable one? nvidia 173 or nvidia 177 ? (in ubuntu hardware driver installer tool) [22:53] hi [22:53] is it possible to stick a program to a certain workspace? [22:53] it should say the recommended one spanther [22:54] o0Chris0o: yes but the recommended one is the newer one. but i don't know if the newer maybe has more bugs left ^^ [22:54] anyone know how to turn off the tooltips that appear in openoffice 2 and 3 showing the current document section whenever you scroll with the mouse wheel or mouse-over the document? [22:54] LjL, never mind i brought my food upstairs. ok well im gonna try to get this working while eating :p so ill tell you what happens when i install it.

[22:56] I have an old computer that has about 184 mb of RAM. It was running too slowly under Windows XP so I decided to remove it and get Ubuntu. Ubuntu has been a little faster but it's still very slow. I'm considering putting xubuntu on it however I'm not sure if that would make a major difference. I was thinking about getting rid of Ubuntu and putting Debian on the computer with either gnome or xfce, would that be enough to make the [22:56] what if I make a network printer from a xp machine? [22:56] automatix: i have the same video card, its awesome [22:56] need a restart now xD [22:56] Mike94287: Xubuntu would be faster [22:56] o0Chris0o: worth a try, not sure [22:56] ActionParsnip: yes :) [22:56] cu later :) thx for help [22:57] Mike94287: Xubuntu = Ubuntu + Xfce [22:57] ActionParsnip, alright thanks for the help ;) [22:57] is there any way i can browse the drivers that are on the cd [22:57] Laundry: they are in the kernel, not like windows [22:57] Mike94287, xubuntu will be faster, xfce is light enought to run smooth on 184mb of RAM [22:57] codeuser: where would i be able to look at a list [22:57] codeuser: i'm using lxde, its killer [22:58] <|chiz|> is there something better than totem for watching dvds? [22:58] and get files of the drivers added to the kernel [22:58] |chiz|: define better [22:58] Klaz168: Okay I'll try it out. [22:58] (assuming this is possible) [22:58] Laundry: i do not know where you would find a list... just use the livecd to test what you need to test. [22:58] |chiz|: try a few apps, see which you like [22:58] ActionParsnip: ok, lol [22:58] <|chiz|> ActionParsnip: well totem seems to freeze up on me alot [22:58] !players | |chiz| [22:58] |chiz|: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

I'm using metacity. How do I switch them back? [22:59] and it's actually built in to my computer, so i can't just unplug it [22:59] why freezes "networking restart" because of NFS, altough i gave fstab the "hard" nfs option? [22:59] |chiz|: make sure you have codecs instaled and have installed video drivers [23:00] yay i got 3D :D [23:00] never was so easy to install drivers heh [23:00] how do I start compiz after I install it [23:01] anyone help me out with setting up a ubuntu 8.10 vps? [23:01] Berzerker: try getting the compiz fusion icon, it lets you swap between compiz and metacity [23:01] Berzerker: (cool band) compiz --replace & [23:01] uh is there a safe way to enable vertical sync at desktop so that windows don't look cutted on the sides while moving them? :) [23:01] whats this 127.0.1.1 ip for ?

[23:02] drcrazy: same [23:02] install fusion-icon, berzerk [23:02] er [23:02] ActionParsnip: weird [23:02] Berzerker: from command line do 'metacity --replace &' but still, use the fusion icon [23:02] well I don't need it, since it's not working [23:02] drcrazy: why? [23:02] so I just wanted to set it backfor good [23:02] ActionParsnip: don't take my words as is :) [23:02] hehe [23:02] why, whats the problem Berzerker?

[23:04] ActionParsnip: I just reinstalled my OS and i had in my /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost \n 127.0.1.1 machineName. This caused my Apache2 to tell me that it couldn't resolve the qualitified domain name. I changed the /etc/hosts to contain on the first line: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost machineName (and haven't changed the second line) and all works fine now :O/ [23:04] osmosis: i'd use the tar.gz personally [23:05] im just perplexed [23:05] anabolix, Wht phone? [23:05] well it's fine, I wasn't expecting it to work [23:05] but now that I have people's attention, is there a way to stick an app to a certain workspace? [23:05] Berzerker: Not if you mean have it always start there. [23:06] ActionParsnip: I guess it works cuz now it finds 127.0.0.1 as my machineName (which is my /etc/hostname) [23:06] setuid, its a sony ericsson c901 i think or c900 [23:06] ооо [23:06] бубунтоеды [23:06] anabolix, And it has a USB host controller? [23:06] ActionParsnip: can you tell me if I missed something in that /etc/hosts file ? [23:06] well yes, that's how I mean, similar to spaces on os x [23:06] setuid, if you mean its connected to my laptop through usb port then yes [23:07] Berzerker: AFAIK there is no way [23:07] drcrazy: can you pastebin the file [23:07] !paste | drcrazy [23:07] drcrazy: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[23:08] BCM43: just pointing out the first issue with your command [23:08] ActionParsnip: i want someone to fix it, it isays sudo gedit [23:08] ActionParsnip: what determines which headers something is compiled with? [23:08] is there any way i could download a driver that ubuntu uses for use with another os [23:09] and if so, where [23:09] ActionParsnip: That is why i am trying to get someone to fix it [23:09] BCM43: it doesnt setup the environment correctly [23:09] BCM43: now im reading [23:09] BCM43: i wish people would stop using sudo gedit, you are right [23:10] just tryingt o compile in v4l and something ain't right [23:10] ActionParsnip: what's wrong with sudo gedit?

[23:10] BCM43: you ar ein nwronsville, use sudo -i [23:11] ActionParsnip: what? [23:11] codeuser: the cli environment is used with sudo, graphical apps like gedit need gksudo as the environment is setup for the gui using that app [23:12] BCM43: su is not advised as again, it doesnt setup the environment, sudo -i is advised (-i = interacttive) [23:12] [23:12] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks, i guess i should add myself to the sudoers file [23:12] ActionParsnip: ok... but in all my experience sudo has never caused anything to happen that gksudo would prevent. [23:12] codeuser: nano or pico are very useable if you come from a windows background, you don't have to dive in at the deep end with vi. [23:12] codeuser: if you use sudo gedit (for example) you can damage ownership and accesibilty to a file [23:12] chiliblue: true, but windows users have terminal-phobia [23:13] codeuser: its there for a reason [23:13] I love terminals [23:13] ActionParsnip: its not inconceivable... [23:13] Gedit and Kate can be used instead of a terminal text editor! [23:13] ActionParsnip: but gksudo is so that when you launch Services (etc) you get a graphical way to enter your password === sebyoga is now known as sebastienYoga [23:14] naming scheme for hardware when looking at /dev is abit confusing for me... anyone here can shed some light on this? and more specifically how do i find my sony ericsson mobile phone in /dev so i can mount it?
