[00:00] but it applies to other ones [00:00] aboleth: i wouldnt know anything about the console emulators [00:00] it's not an emulator [00:00] how would i go about downloading a file from a remote computer onto my local computer when i am logged in to the remote machine via ssh [00:00] Flannel: ill have the ram back after i close them . . then ? [00:00] i'm using an actual xbox 360 controller [00:00] dreamy: Yeah. [00:00] it worked until i got the upgrade yesterday [00:00] ok cool [00:00] this is a common bug [00:01] with the new version [00:01] with all kinds of controller [00:01] on the xbox itself or on the computer ? [00:01] computer [00:01] why else would i be talking about this here? [00:01] anyway [00:01] i tried fixing it [00:01] following this advice: [00:01] look if your using a controller hooked to a puter and it is for xbox then u need to use the emulator [00:01] !enter | aboleth [00:01] aboleth: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[00:03] i used it before on windows [00:03] it was a pain to set up though [00:03] but what would an emulator have to do with ubuntu detecting my controller as a mouse? [00:04] aboleth: You don't need one. You just install one package and it works. [00:04] aboleth: if u do not think the emulator is not relevant in 8.10 then u need to do some reading [00:04] mdg: ppc? As in PowerPC? [00:04] raistlyn: what emulator? [00:04] or rather [00:04] flannel: in Ubuntu 8.10 all those packages r in the emulator packages for console games like xbox ps3 sega [00:04] which? [00:05] For PPC, from System, Administration, Sources, the download port is listed ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports (no ending slash) - is that why I can't get any PPC packages?

[00:25] i mean the aurorun is an inf file but these drivers should work. they are the drivers that come with my mobo [00:26] So they are drivers that will not work on linux. :-P [00:26] they were hardware compatible as far as i know [00:26] hello all! can someone please point me to a tool that'll process my apache access logs and produce some interesting results? I'm particularly interested in looking at the queries that are landing people on my pages. [00:26] They are windows executables, won't work. xD [00:26] well the videocard was hardware compatible when i checked [00:26] wrektjet, what format are they in? if .dll, .inf, etc, no luck :-( [00:26] wrektjet, Windows Drivers do not work on linux. Check the repos for graphic card drivers if you need those. [00:26] wrektjet, manufacturers often offer linux drivers for their motherboards at the homesite of the manuf.

But I can't install the package libdb4.4, it says it is not found [00:32] ya i knew the flash drive one [00:32] killindillin: I guess you just install it on the external hard disk like you would for an internal [00:32] kk [00:32] thanx [00:32] bazhang, Just what I was looking for :) [00:32] wrektjet, okay, there's a thingy called 'envyng' (the 2nd-gen version of 'envy'), which is a sort of "installation wizard" that helps you install the special drivers for nvidia or ATI cards... i'm not recommending it (some people will argue against, for various reasons, and i'm not starting a debate), but visiting the site will give you more info on how to install the drivers manually (or just try some web searching on your driver model) [00:33] killindillin: having a seperate home for an Ubuntu install is a great idea by the way. don't make your root / partition massive either. so like 10 to 16GB should be fine. and 1GB or so swap is good [00:33] So, trying to get MPD to stream to my Icecast... However about a minute after I start MPD my stream stops working... ANy ideas? [00:33] wrektjet, FWIW, i _did_ use 'envyng' to install for my ATI HD 2600, and i've had no problems so far, though i've had to ref*ckulate the settings on each media player to correct flicker problems, etc [00:34] sebsebseb: thanx for the info [00:34] It looks as if the updates have broken my gnome desktop somehow and stuff is not starting up properly - can anyone help?

[00:43] i like it [00:43] <{bosco}> i do have one question if i am logged into my vps/deticated server how do i tell that i am actually running a deticted server and that i am not getting a vps when it is supposed to be a deticated [00:44] <{bosco}> i run ubuntu [00:44] i grew up with windows [00:44] erUSUL I have "intrepid main", "intrepid-updates main" and "intrepid-security main" [00:44] storm-zen, that has the sound of a classic 70s hacker tale, but i've never heard of it... can you disable the system bell sound? :-D [00:44] bernz: google search revealed several threads suggesting dumpint ubuntu because this is 'always' happening with updates :| [00:44] killindillin: ok well I expect a bit more free space can be made, and you can dual boot on that hard disk [00:44] bernz: No. Even though I've tried. [00:44] gabrielR: seems you do not have universe.... very weird [00:45] sebsebseb:i dont want to screw with my HDD FOR THE LAST TIME [00:45] frank_austin, oh darn, i just updated this morning! :-y === jay is now known as jayb [00:45] erUSUL how can I add it? [00:45] then again, i haven't noticed any issues (so i guess i was just lucky) [00:45] bernz: It only happened after restarting [00:45] killindillin: maybe put on the external then. altough being able to run two OS's at the same time is pretty damn sweet so yeah virtual machine. [00:45] <_VIM_> haha sebsebseb stop beating dead horses! [00:46] bernz: Closest I can get is to do use gTerm... it has an option to stop the system bells. Unfortunately, I keep finding other places where the system bell is used... ... like when something isn't found on a web page when searching for text... [00:46] frank_austin, ahhh -- i didn't have to restart (probably i wasn't running enough applications to lock any system files that might need replacement) [00:46] bernz: I restarted because firefox wouldn't open a new window after the updates. [00:46] _VIM_: heh indeed I guess [00:46] gabrielR: add this twoo lines. deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid universe [00:46] deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates universe [00:46] can someone suggest a media player that has a built in pan feature? [00:46] gabrielR: you do not have those lines comented out ? in the file? [00:46] sebsebseb: thank you but how big a usb drive i need to run ubuntu [00:47] storm-zen, yeah, it would need to be some kind of system-wide setting... so... is it maybe the app/daemon that's trying to actually play the sound (which i expect is a digitized file, not the actual PC speaker)? [00:47] killindillin: Flash Stick or external hard disk? [00:47] flash stick [00:47] killindillin: a default install of Ubuntu takes up about 1GB [00:47] erUSUL no not at all [00:47] frank_austin, have you restarted since? maybe something "missed" during the update, but will be caught the second time 'round (i've used windows too long :-) [00:47] bernz: Pretty sure that it's the speaker. .. the beep is the last thing I hear before everything goes black... [00:47] WOW ubuntu only takes one gig!!!!! [00:48] yep a default install about 1GB [00:48] <_VIM_> actually that's a lot compared to most distros [00:48] bernz: yes, I tried restarting straight away. [00:48] bernz: And it happens on console, mostly, when the window flashes... [00:48] <_VIM_> some are 50 megs or less [00:48] i couldnt put knoppix on a 4 gig flash drive [00:48] _VIM_: ha ha sure if it's puppy linux or damn small linux [00:48] storm-zen, do you have "fancy" graphics on? [00:48] Anyone have any luck installing rt73USB wifi adapter with serial monkey driver? [00:48] <_VIM_> well a distro is a distro :P [00:48] killindillin: 4GB flash drive perfect [00:48] bernz: Yes. Why would that affect the system bell? [00:48] killindillin: ,but you can't have all the rather good Linux stuff [00:49] killindillin: no point bother with Kubuntu as well for example, since the lack of space [00:49] sebsebseb : like what? [00:49] Kubuntu [00:49] Xubuntu [00:49] hell loads of choice with Linux [00:49] ya [00:49] loads of great apps [00:49] storm-zen, well, if it's using "fancy" stuff to flash/fade the console (along with the bell), maybe there's a bug in the driver, which is caught by an exception handler, which just bails (and takes X with it) [00:50] storm-zen, (of course, that's just a wild guess, but -- try turning off fancy effects and see if that has a positive effect?) [00:50] bernz: Ah. That's a reasonable interpretation. [00:50] killindillin: I think a dynamically expanding Virtualbox VM is a good idea [00:50] why does iptables -L take a long time to return? [00:50] skyl: Did you use sudo? [00:50] hi anyone have an idea why my keyboard would not work on an ubuntu install, worked on setup obviously and first boot then stopped working however i can ctrl alt del to shutdown still [00:50] storm-zen, i'm keen to find out the result if you're able to test it reasonably soon :-) [00:51] killindillin: it won't take up that much space on your hard disk, unless you start putting loads of big data in to it [00:51] storm-zen yes, I am timing it right now [00:51] killindillin: yeah Linux programs take up hardly any space, unlike Windows programs [00:51] sorry not install, just stopped working second time round [00:51] Ok, bernz. [00:51] sebsebseb:those programs u said could i fit some of them and ubuntu on a 16 gig flashdrive [00:51] killindillin: yep you can do it all on that [00:51] 40.48 seconds [00:51] cause costco had a great deal on them [00:51] 8.10 has pulseaudio by default, correct? [00:52] bernz: I'm trying a complete gnome configuration reset by moving the config dirs... [00:52] I am using jaunty, does this have bearing, shout I ask in +1? [00:52] !jaunty [00:52] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [00:52] <_VIM_> ader10: yep [00:52] whats the newest version of wine anyone know [00:52] whats the best linux pdf reader? [00:52] hi anyone have an idea why my keyboard would not work on an ubuntu at login?, worked on setup obviously and first boot then stopped working however i can ctrl alt del to shutdown and it shuts down [00:52] killindillin: to be honest I don't like KDE4 that much, which is the only KDE in 8.10 hardy heron has KDE3 and 4 as options :) KDE 3 :d [00:53] Jaunty has not caused me any problems for the month I have been on it and it is def. the best ubuntu experience I have had yet [00:53] randal: You can probably find that on #wine? [00:53] frank_austin, that sounds interesting... take your time, and make backups as necessary ;-) [00:53] .. or not. [00:53] storm-zen: theres no one on that channel [00:53] k thanx [00:53] randal: use vmware rather than wine - I've found it much more reliable. [00:53] frank_austin: vmware is a emulator [00:53] frank_austin, are you forcing the config to be "missing" in the hopes of GNOME creating default configs for you, or do you have a "default set" available? [00:54] frank_austin: wine is not a emulator and can you even play games on vmware [00:54] bernz: I'm hoping on the basis of http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [00:54] frank_austin, oh good to hear about vmware -- i've been thinking about how to run old windows stuff like eeprom burners which only work on win32... i wasn't decided, but i keep hearing votes for vmware. cheers [00:54] randal: I play starcraft on it no problem and run photoshop and stuff like that. === marsha is now known as mdg [00:54] <_VIM_> frank_austin: that site is 2 years old :/ [00:55] frank_austin, ah, very nice -- a good one for the log (EVERYTHING YOU SAY AND DO IS BEING RECORDED). :-D [00:55] <_VIM_> that post rather [00:55] For PPC, I need to upgrade the "headers" to 2.6.26-2-powerpc - how to check and how do I upgrade? [00:55] randal: its very cool just launching a windows pc for the purpose and performance is good so long as you aren't running anything else. [00:55] frank_austin, (be sure to post the link again with a comment saying "this works, easy as pie, totally legit!" or something similar, so others searching the log will benefit ;-) [00:55] any udev master here? [00:56] bernz: hmm - I should have checked the age of the info. At least I kept the files ;) [00:56] There's always virtualbox as well if you don't like Vmware [00:56] killindillin: 8.04 is long term suppourt also. and not that much difference between 8.10 and 8.04. with the next Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu at the end of April. have you had Ubuntu installed before? well you have the options now. so do what you you want to do, and that can be for trying. Then you could do a more proper long term install once Jaunty is out. That's my suggestion. [00:56] Pretto, nope, but i'd like to learn about it too -- i have an NVidia MCP51 USB 2.0 controller that is "hiding" from Linux [00:56] frank_austin, yeah, good deal! smart move [00:57] frank_austin, if you still have your "desktop" CD, you could run it "live", then steal its X config, copy it to your hard drive (mount it temporarily in the live session -- don't forget to unmount safely before restart!) [00:57] bernz.. ok.. enabled system bell.. [00:57] bernz, maybe this link could help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 [00:57] http://pastebin.com/m42e69c14 MPD can't output audio [00:58] ok http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ works to reset the theme BUT does not fix the problem - now I have the right theme but with the same stack of errors - volume control has quite unexpectedly, panel encountered problem while loading clock applet - no network [00:59] http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ also sheds all your customer menus, icons etc. in the panels [01:00] <_VIM_> frank_austin: as i said 5 mins ago, that post is 2 years old, maybe look for a more up-to-date one [01:00] sebsebseb: i maybe can do that but with a longterm installation do mean i take virtual box and just be able to run two oses at the same time or dual boot [01:00] _VIM_: fair point but I don't think reseting the theme is addressing the real problem. [01:00] killindillin: I mean use 8.10 for trying things [01:01] k [01:01] killindillin: then do 9.04 for a real proper long term install [01:01] Pretto, it sounds like my problem is slightly "deeper" in the system (no kernel messages even during plug/unplug events, although the same USB device on my working controllers (on expansion card) *do* print kernel messages for events) [01:01] killindillin: and I assume by the time that's released Ext4 will be good enough to use as the file system instead of Ext3 [01:02] Pretto, but that's a great link nonetheless -- i'm definitely going to read that post and try stuff out with some of my weirder USB devices [01:02] When I login to a root ftp using connect to server all I see is a readme.txt saying that I need to cd how can I see my folders? [01:02] and when u say long term u mean i will be using it like all the time but i kcan be running it of virtual box [01:02] bernz, ok, i wish you luck [01:02] right [01:02] killindillin: I mean long term, the one you don't re install. the one you just upgrade to newer versions [01:02] does anyone here know how I can connect to a shared printer in XP with ubuntu (cups) ? they are both connected to the same router [01:03] killindillin: Vista as the host hummmmm. really it should be the other way round, but I don't think that's possible with only 1GB RAM [01:03] bernz: Ok... disabling desktop effects did not work. Neither did uninstalling compiz, though, I did notice that did not remove the visual effects tab... [01:03] Pretto, thanks, and you the same -- one place you might also want to check (which i will soon) is the USB developers' mailing list (can't remember the name, but search for "greg kroah-hartman", a USB wizard -- he'll link to the list for sure) [01:03] is there any simple audio recording app that "just works"? i have always had trouble using audacity to record. [01:03] hey guys I have this wusb54gcsv2 that I tried to ndis the win drivers and the damn thing still wont work anybody have any solutions for this stupid thing? [01:03] how do i request a password reminder email from freenode? [01:03] sebsebseb: oh you mean a dual boot right and i just update the os like vista right. [01:03] killindillin: the host OS the one that is on the hard disk for real. and the guest the one that is in the vm [01:04] bernz, thank you very much [01:04] ya vista came preinstalled [01:04] killindillin: a proper partitioned dual boot would be good once 9.04 is out. and also with Ext4 as the file system instead of Ext3, if it is indeed stable enough by then. [01:04] so i'm pretty much srewed then [01:04] storm-zen, too bad :-( might as well reinstall compiz, though :-) does sound work okay with other applications, like a media player? [01:04] stefano: Try #help [01:04] bernz: Well.. right now sound just hisses at me... === stefano is now known as stefano-palazzo [01:05] ... and then if I make a mistake that triggers a system bell, the whole desktop flushes... [01:05] hello [01:05] storm-zen, white noise? or stuck in a small loop? [01:05] bernz: Could be either... [01:05] killindillin: Wubi or virtual machines of Ubuntu, are good for trying, but for a proper install it's best to partition the hard disk for real [01:05] mi rc.local isnt running [01:05] When I login to a root ftp using connect to server all I see is a readme.txt saying that I need to cd how can I see my folders? [01:05] what could it be [01:05] Can someone help me get Flash to work after killing pulseaudio? I had to kill pulseaudio for Audacity to work. But I still need Flash sound to work. Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit [01:05] ? [01:05] bernz: The dogs are probably running away... it's real high pitched... === ___mikem is now known as __mikem [01:06] sup people [01:06] storm-zen, can you uninstall your sound drivers? (i've never tried that, so i don't know how involved it is) -- in the meantime, turn your volume down ;-) [01:06] sebsebseb: okay i get you now i can run the currant ubuntu off a thumb drive then when the new one comes out i partition and all that stuff???....right [01:06] Im trying to make a backup of a game that I have however when i put the disc in the drive it doesnt automatically mount it. Its a DVD, any ideas? [01:06] killindillin: yes [01:06] tahnk you [01:06] thank you * [01:06] killindillin: once 9.04 is out, put it on the hard disk properly [01:06] storm-zen, if you uninstall your sound drivers (ALSA, JACK, etc), and it fixes the problem, then when you reinstall, check each time you add a new "piece", and you might find the culprit [01:07] killindillin: also I expect OS's run quicker from the internal hard disk [01:07] ahhhhhhhh....my keyboard is spazzing out [01:07] storm-zen, (i mean when you reinstall the sound systems) [01:07] kk [01:07] i cant hibernate ubuntu whilst virtualbox is running a winxpp vm. [01:07] killindillin: you shoudn't use your internal hard disk as the major storage device, and so you should have data on extenral hard disk. and both even for data you want to make sure to never lose === _VIM_ is now known as [-VIM-] [01:08] storm-zen, i understand if you're unwilling to try that, because it *is* a lot of fuss [01:08] bernz: Uninstalling pulseaudio looks like it will uninstall ubuntu-desktop [01:08] Can I get Flash audio to work with pulseaudio somehow? I need both Audacity AND Youtube to have fully working sound at the moment. [01:08] How do i get the iconv library ? AM_ICONV: command not found ? [01:09] when I run debdiff I keep getting gpg errors, how can I fix this? [01:09] Every time I login, I need to do a 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' in order to get my wifi card working. Is there a way to fix this so it will automatically work when I turn on my computer? [01:09] !ping [01:09] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [01:10] !opensparc [01:10] !ping [01:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about opensparc [01:10] storm-zen, in that case, maybe it's too annoying/difficult/annoyingly difficult to "reset" the whole sound system; maybe we could figure out the path the terminal takes to the speakers (i.e. identify the sound system being used, and look more closely at it) [01:10] killindillin: virtual machines are pretty damn interesting, and so for trying Ubuntu for your first time with 8.10, even though Vista is the host, I would recommend doing Ubuntu like that. if Vista was the guest, you could just copy it like a normal OS file. and delete it like one as well. so if a virus for example, just use a clean backup copy [01:10] alecwh_d, there is... you want to learn about "run levels", and the '/etc/init.d/' magical directory hierarchy [01:10] I wish there was an undo button for updates! [01:10] sebsebseb:ok your saying that i can keep vista and its data on the hdd then put all my important stuff on a cd or flash drive and put ubuntu on the hdd then its files on a external hdd [01:11] !sound [01:11] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:11] Is there anyway to restore or repair your wireless drivers? I screwed up mine and can't get it back to it's working state. eth1 is lost! [01:11] killindillin: I am saying you can make some more space, by moving data off your internal hard disk yeah [01:11] bernz: i'll check it out, is there a quick way to do it? [01:11] k now i get u [01:11] alecwh_d, basically, when your computer starts, it goes through various "run levels", which are "how much you can interact with it" in most systems, so on one of the lower levels, you could add a command to its start script to launch your custom thingy (e.g. modprobe or whatever) [01:11] It works! new to ubuntu and got xchat to work. [01:11] I'm unable to install 8.10 amd64 version on a Dell Precision with NVIDIA Quadro graphics. The install CD boots at first (with the progress bar graphic), but drops into a console. Running "startx" just gives me "Fatal server error: no screens found". The graphics cards are listed when I do "lspci". [01:11] killindillin: altough it depends what kind of data you have really, because if you only got small files [01:12] Why can't Audacity and youtube vids just share the sound device instead of fighting over it? [01:12] important stuff on a cd and crud can stay on hdd [01:12] thus freeing stuff up [01:12] ?? [01:12] alecwh_d, if you poke around in '/etc/init.d/', you'll quickly see the general structure; then edit the appropriate 'rc' file as root (use sudo on your editor), and find a good spot... these scripts are shell-like, so if you know shell scripts (like batch files), you'll see the spot to put your command soon) [01:12] freeksh0w86: what version of audacity do you have? [01:13] bernz: thanks [01:13] a lot! [01:13] killindillin: well for a dual boot. you need to make your self. well you do the maths :D ,but the Ubuntu / partition should be like 16GB. a 1GB swap partition. and a seperate home partition that is a few GB's or more. [01:13] alecwh_d, no worries [01:13] schnauzer: the version that is in the default repos of Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit [01:13] killindillin: you don't even know what I mean by those yet? [01:13] this might sound like a dumb question, but when installing libraries, where is the typical place to install them if many people will be accessing them? [01:13] i mean many users [01:13] 1.3.5-beta? [01:13] killindillin: / is where Ubuntu and all it's programs go [01:14] sebsebseb:i know what u mean but what is swap [01:14] killindillin: swap is virtual memory, hard disk space, that it will use as if it were RAM, if it's needed [01:14] !swap [01:14] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [01:15] alecwh_d, on my desktop intrepid, i have '/etc/init.d/rc' -- that's not necessarily *the* best file to use, but it's close, and maybe okay -- the experts can make a call here if they are at their keyboards :-) [01:15] killindillin: have you tried Ubuntu from the Live CD or something already? [01:15] Does gdebi come with Intrepid? [01:15] algum programador python? [01:15] <[-VIM-]> !info gdebi [01:15] freeksh0w86: That's odd, I don't have any problems with audacity & fighting over sound... [01:15] gdebi (source: gdebi): Simple tool to install deb files. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.13 (intrepid), package size 31 kB, installed size 228 kB [01:15] <[-VIM-]> yep [01:15] no i was goin to try knoppix first [01:15] see if i like linux [01:15] schnauzer: whoah this is odd... audacity FINALLY let me select Alsa: default as the output and that worked lol [01:15] killindillin: you run the ISO's of Live CD's inside Virtualbox instead of burning to CD, by the way [01:16] bernz: looking through the file, it looks like code... while I can follow the logical structure, where should I put my command? [01:16] AnyaJ, i think '/usr/lib' is the place [01:16] killindillin: Knoppix is a nice Live CD distro, but for a proper distro Ubuntu is a great one [01:16] All I can say... PulseAudio will never be as l33t as ALSA or DirectSound and killing its process is the best solution :/ [01:16] i probly will like it because linux is half command promt and half desktop....right?? [01:16] freeksh0w86: maybe that's what I did... I remember I changed some sort of configuration to get it to behave, just couldn't remember what it was [01:16] ya i know bout knoppix j [01:17] k* [01:17] AnyaJ, and of course, a subdir of "your own" in there, not just right in '/usr/lib'... or... maybe just right in there... i dunno :-) you can read up about the "standard linux file system hierarchy" or something similar (maybe 'unix' in place of 'linux' in the previous) [01:17] killindillin: that depends on the distro, but yes the shell (terminal) is very powerful in Linux [01:17] thanks bernz i will. [01:17] ya like msdos and half xp right??? [01:17] !shell [01:17] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:17] alecwh_d, well, you want to find the runlevel that will be probably "before" X starts (usually that's a high number), and you want it there for your "command line only" level (single-user, i think it's called) [01:18] heh even ubottu says it's very powerful :d [01:18] bernz: I'm still really stuck because although the basic desktop comes up there is no network etc. It seems like something is stopping part way through starting all of the usual services. [01:18] alecwh_d, so maybe level 2 or 3... take a look at whatever handles those [01:18] I can't install mpd. Please help. http://pastebin.com/m66090cce [01:18] !opengl [01:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl [01:18] killindillin: Ubuntu can be GUI GUI GUI GUI, or it can be comands commands commands commands [01:18] killindillin: or a mixture of both [01:19] frank_austin, hmm... well, i had lots of wifi network problems in kubuntu on my laptop, but that was a few releases ago (probably 6 or 7) [01:19] !microcode [01:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about microcode [01:19] killindillin: other distros, are mainly about commands [01:19] (erm, probably release numbers 6 or 7) [01:19] alecwh_d, i'm going to look at my 'rc'... [01:19] Whats the difference between compiz, and using 'Extra' effects in Apperance tab? [01:19] hi. anyone know why I'm selecting New York on the clock but it's saying EDT instead of EST [01:20] sebsebseb:thank you.....so i can run command line...command line with desktop with command line as more of a priority...or i can have half and half [01:20] diguinho: it is eastern daylight time during daylight savings time [01:20] bernz: gah, I'm looking. I really should invest more time in learning linux directory structure. [01:20] killindillin: we got newbie friendly distros, where they have graphical installers and nice graphical programs. then text based installer distros with a lot of commandline as well. [01:20] but I want to know EST hour [01:20] not EDT [01:20] diguinho: EDT - 1 [01:20] killindillin: well Ubuntu calls it the terminal, but the more hardcore Linux people will call it The Shell [01:20] ader10, google the error and you will find thsi: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/PulseAudio#For_Distros_where_PulseAudio_output_is_broken [01:20] Anyone?

[01:20] alecwh_d, yes, once you get a few important branches "inside your head", things go much smoother/faster :-) [01:21] i never know if -1 gmt count clockwise or counter [01:21] bernz: yes, well... this was an upgrade that has caused a theme ?reset and seems to have prevented a lot of my startup programs from running, including the network manager. Strangely tomboy notes come up fine so its got a fair way down the list. [01:21] anyway [01:21] alecwh_d, near the end of the file is a 'rc.boot' mentioned... maybe that's the ticket? [01:21] is it summer time in NY? [01:21] diguinho: it is [01:21] ader10, i mean this http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/PulseAudio#For_Distros_where_PulseAudio_access_rights_are_broken [01:21] killindillin: software is much quicker to install in Ubuntu with commands, but there is also a rather nice Synaptic Package Manager which is graphical [01:21] sebsebseb: i know that...but i'm a linux noob....and a windows geek...so explain it to me as a noob [01:21] bernz: maybe I should put the command in the /etc/rc.boot file? [01:21] frank_austin, i wouldn't depend on order in the list to tell you anything solid about what's going wrong (but that's just my gut) [01:22] spring time [01:22] alecwh_d, precisely, that might get executed on every boot -- just what you want [01:22] Im trying to get an email server working but the telnet part is being weird! I cant tell why it only works one way http://www.grabup.com/uploads/3630815f1ca8d97e093b821f894794ad.png?direct [01:22] basti: thank you (I was searching but didn't come across that) [01:22] http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=E%3A+client-conf-x11.c%3A+XOpenDisplay()+failed&btnG=Suche&meta= [01:22] alecwh_d, what i might also do is some research on this "rc.boot" -- is it a typical/common file on 'nix systems, etc? [01:22] killindillin: think of add or remove programs in Windows. Now imagine if you could search for programs in it that you wanted to install. Then were able to just say that you wanted to install them, and it downloaded and installed it for you. There it was on the menu, you didn't have to run an installer. Well that's what you get with Synaptic Package Manager. [01:22] alecwh_d, you might even do 'man rc.boot' for more info [01:23] basix: It doesn't work. [01:23] bernz: ok, I'll see if its something there... [01:23] bernz: thanks a lot! [01:23] killindillin: the terminal for example: sudo apt-get install programname and it just downloads it off the server and installs it for you, and there it is in the menu. ,but menus? you don't need a menu to open programs, just put the name of it in the terminal press enter and it opens [01:23] 21:00 EDT is 20:00 EST ? [01:23] diguinho: yes [01:23] andrewfree: your smtp is listening only to 127.0.0.1 edit the conf [01:24] nightrid3r: /etc/ what one? [01:24] sebsebseb, it's kinda like a One True Download Website for great apps, with no spam, no BS, no dead links, no ads, and tested, working, actively-developed software! holy crap! :-D [01:24] andrewfree: depends on the smtpd [01:24] sebsebseb,thank you.....thank u...thank u....3/4 of you guys i cant undestand. [01:24] nightrid3r: Postfix [01:24] (and most importantly, not dependent on a web browser) [01:24] bernz, thank u [01:24] killindillin: yep thousands of packages (programs are called packages in Linux) you can get just like that [01:24] AnyaJ: . [01:25] killindillin: websites lol, only for stuff that isn't in the repo, but not much of that you will want to run anyway [01:25] andrewfree: /etc/postfix/postfix.conf [01:25] alecwh_d, okay, if that works -- maybe post a blurb about it here (for the log, and searchers) -- saying how you fixed your problem :-) [01:25] !repo [01:25] 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 [01:25] cool no more bs [01:25] bernz: okay! [01:25] bernz: it looks like the latest 8.10 updates have seriously broken something. When I try to launch nm-applet at the command line I get 'libnssutil3.so.1d: cannot open... [01:25] killindillin, yeah, no worries -- i felt like a kid in a candy store the first time i ran 'Add/Remove' :-D [01:26] nightrid3r: Its blank!! wtf [01:26] killindillin: yes and did you read it or someone tell you? no viruses or spyware or any of that either. well they can make for LInux, but you have to know what your doing to instal it. or have no firewall. and a really bad password [01:26] thanx [01:26] frank_austin, well, it'll be painful, but you can reinstall the missing libs one by one until things are back to normal... use synaptic if it's still working [01:26] killindillin: ever been in the Windows registry messing around? how boring and tedicious yes? [01:27] andrewfree: /etc/postfix/main.cf [01:27] bernz: with no network that is a tad tricky [01:27] kind of [01:27] ya [01:27] bernz: trying for a CD... [01:27] frank_austin, if X is too busted, use 'aptitude' from a terminal [01:27] killindillin: home is like a cross between, my documents, program files, and the windows registry, but done right as user data files for programs in hidden .folders [01:27] frank_austin, don't forget to 'sudo' [01:27] cool [01:27] I have a asus g2s and all my sound isnt working... just the top speakers... what can that be? please help! [01:27] andrewfree: http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html [01:28] brb got to go google something [01:28] killindillin: so let's say your using Firefox and your profile has gone wrong. you could just delete the .mozilla folder and it would be like you had a clean install again of Firefox [01:28] i'm trying to get lesstif on my system [01:28] bernz: thanks... back soon. [01:28] frank_austin, oh, right -- argh... well... if you still have your install CD, you can tell some package managers/libs (e.g. apt) to get sources from the CD, and avoid the network [01:28] how do i know which of the packages i need? [01:28] in the repositories, that is [01:28] AnyaJ: depends what you want to do, which is? [01:28] use the lesstif library [01:28] <[-VIM-]> sebsebseb: or just run firefox in terminal with -ProfileManger switch :) [01:29] AnyaJ, use 'synaptic' and it will auto-dependency for you [01:29] bernz, where do i do that? [01:29] in terminal? [01:29] bernz: is there an easy way I can lookup which package supplies libnssutil3.so.1d? [01:29] AnyaJ, in the System | Administration menu [01:29] AnyaJ, there's 'Synaptic Package Manager' [01:29] nightrid3r: Nope.. oem@freekbox:/etc/postfix$ ls [01:29] dynamicmaps.cf main.cf master.cf postfix-files postfix-script post-install sasl [01:29] sebsebseb, there's lesstif2 lesstif2-dev, lesstif-bin, one for fortran, one for gfortran [01:29] bernz, i'm in there [01:29] AnyaJ, use the search widget to whittle down the list, find your target, and pick install type [01:30] andrewfree: main.cf is there [01:30] bernz: why teaching him/her the slow way? [01:30] bernz: it seems they want to use the commandline [01:30] bernz, but the problem is knowing which one i need [01:30] why ubuntu isnt reproducing sound in all the speakers of my notebook? [01:30] thank you sebsebseb [01:30] just in the front ;( [01:30] finally, sebsebseb an equal opportunity genderizer [01:30] would someone help me about how to separate debug info from executable? [01:30] AnyaJ: :) yeah thought you were a woman [01:30] AnyaJ: by the name [01:30] AnyaJ: as with all debian library packages, libBLA is the actual compiled library used by depending programs, libBLA-dev is the source headers you NEED to compile stuff against it, and libBLA-bin is auxiliary executables to go with it. [01:31] sebsebseb, well, i figure most users start with the desktop and migrate to the shell when they get more familiar with the system :-) [01:31] heh heh alex-weej !!! [01:31] thanks =) [01:31] AnyaJ: sudo aptitude programname also deals with dependancies better than apt-get [01:31] alex-weej, do i need bin [01:31] bernz: true, but they were in the terminal asking about it, so they must know something [01:31] AnyaJ, oh, i see -- what alex-weej said :-D [01:32] sebsebseb, fair enough [01:32] AnyaJ: unlikely. [01:32] will ibex be upgraded to gnome 2.26? [01:32] hajmola: yes [01:32] thanks so much, alex-weej i think i know what i need [01:32] hajmola: no. [01:32] and thanks for getting me off of manual installation. i'm always for learning where i am screwing up [01:32] hajmola: code names confuse me, sorry :P [01:32] need help, i was using partition magic, deleted my ubuntu partition so i could merge 2 ntfs partitions and now my grub partition is gone, not just grub itself [01:32] frank_austin, so, in that case, you can use stuff like 'apt-get install' and 'apt-get remove' to install and remove packages [01:32] AnyaJ: manual inst is something ex-windows users think they need to do [01:32] <[-VIM-]> "will gnome be upgraded" would be more accurate of a question [01:33] frank_austin, and too adjust its sources (to avoid network, and use CD), there's a file at... (looking) [01:33] nightrid3r: im reading but I still dont know how to allow others to access it [01:33] AnyaJ: Synaptic can be good at times, but it's so slow compared to the commands [01:33] frank_austin, /etc/apt/sources.list [01:33] alex-weej: oh that's ok... so jaunty (9.04) will come with 2.26 [01:33] frank_austin, you can read about that (probably in manual) for details [01:33] andrewfree: change 127.0.0.1 to the ip of the box [01:33] hajmola: yes, it already has it [01:33] alex-weej, why do they think they need to do that [01:33] AnyaJ: because that is what they are used to doing [01:34] alex-weej, is there any value in it... honestly? [01:34] AnyaJ: no [01:34] nightrid3r: I cant find that in the main conf file I have this thou.. "mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 [01:34] " [01:34] control over the situation maybe? [01:34] <[-VIM-]> synaptic is good for searching, terminal is better for installing something you already know, of course you can search with terminal too 'apt-cache search xchat' for example [01:34] -p [01:35] adre [01:35] andrewfree: mynetworks = all [01:35] sebsebseb, so if i go to synaptic, and then i get what i want , and go to terminal and type say.... sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev.... will all the dependencies be installed along with it? [01:35] AnyaJ: Yes [01:35] sebsebseb, beware of the "command line is the best, so anyone not using it is "wrong"" monster ;-) [01:35] nice [01:36] AnyaJ: but you can do it all within synaptic... [01:36] AnyaJ: if you know what you need to do you can do it quicker with apt-get/aptitude command line [01:36] bernz: yeah well I open up synaptic for stuff I am not sure the name of :d ok sure I know there is some command to find out, but anyway [01:36] alex-weej, thanks [01:36] ok i'm ready to reinstall everything =) [01:36] how do i fix "libraul.so.2: cannot open shared object file" trying to run patchage... [01:36] sebsebseb, i completely agree that command-line with expertise is best, but it takes most users a long time to be "comfortable" with it ;-) [01:36] i have a question. I am running ubuntu 8.10 dual booted with vista. last night i whiped out my vista partition and resized it then reinstalled vista business. everything went fine with that. my question is when i reinstalled the grub via the live disk i now have two initrd.img and 2 vimlinz one of each was renamed to .old can i delete those old files? [01:37] but i still think manual installation is imminent if your repositories don't contain your library, alex-weej [01:37] AnyaJ: no, just backport the deb [01:37] crap more terminology! [01:37] AnyaJ: ;) [01:37] trinidad_: if all works then yes [01:37] sebsebseb, and i've learned over the years that people always stop me and say "wait, gearhead, you're getting too technical", so i've adjusted my approach accordingly ;-=) [01:38] AnyaJ: you basically just get the source PACKAGE for e.g. jaunty 9.04 (not the original .tar.gz) and rebuild it for 8.10 [01:38] (anyway :-) [01:38] AnyaJ: most of the time it works fine [01:38] thank you i was not sure if i could is there anything else that i will have to do when i do that [01:38] AnyaJ: and you can then just deploy that .deb file [01:38] bernz, sebsebseb: absolutely nothing wrong with explaining how to use synaptic. For most people, it does exactly what they need, and terminal commands don't offer much, if any, benefits. [01:39] alex-weej, but WHY? [01:39] that sounds like unnecessary extra work [01:39] AnyaJ: it's less work, actually. [01:40] oh. [01:40] nightrid3r: Stlll not working [01:40] andrewfree: restart postfix [01:40] already did that [01:40] alex-weej, you said: libcoin60 is in 9.04, but... are y ou suggesting i do with it what you just said? [01:40] alex-weej, i guess not all people are familiar with building from source yet ;-) [01:41] bernz alex-weej is it really SAFE to do that?? [01:41] yes. most of the time the only reason it isn't in older versions is because it hasn't been requested [01:41] AnyaJ: It is safe (assuming the source doesn't have bugs) [01:41] it's totally safe to do that, AnyaJ, yes [01:41] !prevu | AnyaJ [01:41] AnyaJ: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [01:41] is it something worth learning? [01:41] ooh didn't know about prevu. that sounds cool. [01:41] AnyaJ: just use prevu. It does all the heavy lifting for you. [01:41] *sigh* [01:41] andrewfree: try rplaceing ALL with your actual ip [01:41] AnyaJ, it simply depends on your comfort level with the particular approach; it's totally worth learning how to build your own builds [01:41] AnyaJ: if you are going to be developing, i recommend you consider just using 9.04 [01:42] !jaunty [01:42] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [01:42] k [01:42] AnyaJ, if you are going to be developing (not sure where i gleaned that for certain), you DEFINITELY need to be very comfortable with building [01:42] can someone help me with vpn connection? [01:42] ok so i can learn to build with prevu? [01:43] how can i configure the resolution of my webcam on flash 10? [01:43] not tonight though, i've got a ton to do and i've got to make this big clunk of code run [01:43] lucax: frankly you're lucky it even works at all. adobe suck. === elpargo is now known as elpargo|away [01:44] AnyaJ: prevu looks like a piece of cake [01:44] How can I identify my soundcard? I think lspci has the wrong information. [01:44] ok [01:44] anyone out there has successful vpn connection? I need help. I can ping by ip and by name resolution, but it is not connecting. [01:45] frank_austin, the package name itself should appear in aptitude [01:45] nightrid3r: still no [01:45] alex-weej, im streaming in ustream and thats the only solution i found, i installed adobe from adobes web and everything is working very ok, but with low resolution... i thought i could be v4l but it says thats running on 640x480 resolution and in flash i get 160x120 [01:45] frank_austin, otherwise, Web search on that name, and see if it's a smaller part of something else [01:45] my old desktop won't boot or display the bios when i turn it on. instead the pc speaker beeps repeatedly. what should i check? [01:46] andrewfree: try #postfix then maybe they can help you [01:46] i am using intrepid... anyone else have trouble with the spelling in pidgin? [01:46] timob make sure aspell is installed for your locale [01:46] hi === mn is now known as zrs_12 === zrs_12 is now known as mn [01:47] dbbolton, your IDE drive connectors are backwards, your RAM is misaligned/not fully seated, or... hmm... not sure what else [01:47] timob: not as such, but I woudn't rely on Pidgin for checking spelling [01:47] bernz could it be the video card? [01:48] dbbolton, oh yeah, probably any peripheral uses a row-of-finger-contacts connector could do it [01:48] bernz: I tried that search but got nothing. My best guess package (libnss3-1d) is not on the CD (or at least I can't mark it for re-installation :() === mn is now known as zrs_12 [01:48] dbbolton, so reseat everything (absolutely everything that can be plugged/unplugged) === zrs_12 is now known as mn === robbit is now known as rob_it [01:50] sebsebseb: thanks... no i dont sound so stupid :) [01:50] now [01:50] timob: uh? what did I help you with? [01:50] anyone know it there is a way to add CDFS filesystem to gparted in ubuntu ? [01:51] aspell locale package [01:51] hmm.. frank_austin, did you know that you are using a "one", not an "ell" (lower-case) in your filename? i believe that file should end in "ell dee", not "one dee" [01:51] timob: oh the Pidgin spelling guy yeah [01:51] timob: may I recommend Abiword, for spelling and grammer checker [01:51] timob: it may not be perfect, but it seems to be pretty good [01:51] timob: oh I guess you need 8.10 or you get a rubbish version from the repo in 8.04 [01:51] Dreamglider, it might be that gparted is designed not to work on CDFS because it's a read-only system [01:52] has anyone used firestarter firewall in Ubuntu? [01:52] sam555_: of course [01:52] anyone heard of alsa dying when power management kicks in? [01:52] Dreamglider, are you trying to make an image of the CD, or...? (you can use 'dd' for that, probably) [01:52] sebsebseb: how do you enable it so that you can chose lan in the port policy section? [01:52] sam555_: firestarter is not that good according to many people. if you got a hardware firewall enabled in your router, you should be ok [01:52] sam555_: it's been ages since I did anything with firestarter, also you might want to learn something about iptables :D [01:52] !iptables [01:52] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [01:53] it seems everytime i let my laptop sit for a bit, alsa dies and i have to force reload alsa to get sound back [01:53] sebsebseb: mahalo! [01:53] sam555_: wtf? [01:53] sebsebseb: it means "thank you" in Hawaiian [01:53] LogicFan, all i know is that Linux support for ACPI (power mgmt) has been a bit behind the times until recently, so there may be fixes forthcoming soon [01:53] why ubuntu isnt reproducing sound in all the speakers of my notebook? [01:54] hi..i have a problem with my filesystem.almost all of my file become read only.i used ubuntu 8.10 [01:54] bernz, judging by my google searches, a lot of people have issues with it, alsa just doesn't wake back up [01:54] How do i check how much file space i have using the command line ? [01:54] can anyone help me with my ATI video card? [01:54] Stargazer, : df -h [01:54] !ati [01:54] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:54] Hey, Im intalling ubuntu 4 the first. Im at the part "prepare disk space" I do that, then it I get prompted it will take a sec. Then I get ERROR resize operation failure [01:54] the thing that really irks me is that i have to restart all applications that use sound in order for them to properly work again after forcing a alsa restart [01:54] Bagualas, have you tested the speakers with another OS/distro to confirm there's no hardware problem? also, did you check that your balance is centered? many people left- or right-shift their balance inadvertently and forget about it [01:54] hey... could anybod help me to replace dhcp client for dhcpcd as client??? [01:55] wanna_learn_more: you been messing with file permissions? [01:55] my ubuntu cant get dhcp connections [01:55] LogicFan, i guess it's being worked on (hopefully), but check the bug list for ALSA to see if your issue is listed, and if not, make a report :-) [01:55] Ty georgy_28 [01:55] After the prepare disk space fails it scans disk and brings me to Prepare Partions [01:55] hello [01:55] I don't think I will ever get ubuntu to intsall dang [01:56] how do I activate the execution of /etc/rc.local ? [01:56] JuzProdtionz: ok your resizing Windows partition? [01:56] bernz, yeah, tested... the notebook has sound in front, and under it [01:56] Yes [01:56] hi..i have a problem with my filesystem.almost all of my file become read only.i used ubuntu 8.10 [01:56] sesebseb: Yes [01:56] JuzProdtionz: do the file system check on the NTFS [01:56] JuzProdtionz, you should learn a bit about partitioning (it will be useful for the rest of your life, as long as we have these crappy PC-like computer systems and their DOS-based partitioning :-) [01:56] sebsebseb:looks like because of filesystem error [01:56] JuzProdtionz: in Windows I guess yeah damn what is it again hum [01:57] sebsebseb:when i tried to reboot it always checking for file system [01:57] I can partion pc but I heard linux could partion itself so i thought i would learn later [01:57] how do I activate the execution at start of /etc/rc.local ? [01:57] how can you tell when you've gotten rid of all of a library off of your computer [01:57] ? [01:57] sebsebseb:after performing system maintenance,press CONTROL-D [01:57] JuzProdtionz: your NTFS partition needs to be checked I think [01:57] !ntfs [01:57] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [01:58] !chkdsk [01:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about chkdsk [01:58] Can anyone help me configure wireless on an Acer 5315-2326? [01:58] a library you installed yourself, that is [01:58] !permissions | wanna_learn_more [01:58] wanna_learn_more: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:58] I there anything I can do under prepar partions it give me an option to build a New Partion Table [01:58] JuzProdtionz, are you aiming to obliterate the contents of the drive and replace with Linux? if so, you can just run the partitioner manually, delete the partitions, and restart the installation [01:58] hey all [01:58] Let me rephrase: I need to configure wireless on an Acer 5315-2326 without internet access. I need to be able to download files onto another computer and transfer to the Acer with a jump drive [01:58] JuzProdtionz: that would get rid of Windows basicalley [01:59] anyone have problems getting a gigaware usb headset to work in intrepid? [01:59] No I am trying to dual boot [01:59] It works in skype but nothing else [01:59] JuzProdtionz: boot into windows and run a cmd prompt. type "chkdsk c: /f" (no quotes) answer yes to the questions and reboot into windows again. it will check and repair. [01:59] JuzProdtionz: well either the partition is bad or the hard disk, because you should be able to resize the NTFS [01:59] I need some help. When im on Myspace.com i cannot view all my pictures.... How do i fix the issue???? It is also on other web pages! [01:59] Bagualas, do you have another Linux distro you can try? maybe you can see how the two differ if the other works (ALSA, and other stuff) [01:59] QPrime: :) that's what I was saying to do that, but I didn't know the command [01:59] Ok I am clicking on Guided resize and giving linux 80 gibs (which there is 160gb free) [01:59] JuzProdtionz: do what QPrime said then come back [02:00] bernz, i think ill try another [02:00] i installed icedtea and flash plugins in 64bit ubuntu but in youtube videos i see a grey screen..what should i do? [02:00] alex-weej, you still around? [02:00] sebsebseb: no prob ;) [02:00] hi [02:00] just trying to figure out how to get my usb headset to work properly... [02:00] i am supposedly having a runtime error in my code because i have versions of a library installed on my computer [02:00] sebsebseb:isnt about permission.but its an error [02:00] what does chkdsk do- does it take long? [02:00] i did a make uninstall on one version, but i still get the same runtime error. [02:00] how can i make sure one version is completely off my computer? [02:01] JuzProdtionz: it gets Windows to check it's partition for errors after re booting [02:01] I need to configure wireless on an Acer 5315-2326 without internet access. I need to be able to download files onto another computer and transfer to the Acer with a jump drive. Any help? [02:01] I need some help. When im on Myspace.com i cannot view all my pictures.... How do i fix the issue???? It is also on other web pages! [02:01] i did a make uninstall alex-weej [02:01] OK, I will do that [02:01] bernz, if sound stops working, do you know how to view alsa's status? [02:01] donkey: which browser? [02:01] BRB [02:01] mozilla [02:01] donkey: try another browser? [02:01] JuzProdtionz: it checks (and tries to repair) your ntfs filesystem. if can take a while but it depends on the size of the partition and the number fo files you have on that partition. [02:01] *it [02:01] i installed icedtea and flash plugins in 64bit ubuntu but in youtube videos i see a grey screen..what should i do? the screen is like that: http://omploader.org/vMWVlcA [02:01] what other one on ubuntu? [02:01] donkey: loads of good ones [02:01] LogicFan, are you in GNOME desktop? if so, do you have a sound icon in the tray at the top (usually)? [02:02] tell me a really good one [02:02] bernz, yes to both [02:02] donkey: sudo apt-get install galeon epiphany-browser [02:02] LogicFan, carefully double-click the icon itself, and you should get some options [02:02] anyone got "hangs" on ppm on linx in firefox ? its dont show menu or just do random action from ppm menu when try to open links [02:02] anybody know a way to boost the volume on a laptop running ubuntu, when i had windows the default volume was allowed to be louder than it can be now. [02:02] donkey: Konqueror is alright, but that will put KDE stuff on as well [02:02] LogicFan, from that dialog, you can get to 'Preferences...' (button near bottom-right) [02:03] donkey: Mozilla Suite was before Firefox, but it lives on as Seamonkey, Seamonkey is quite nice [02:03] so I installed the ATI driver once and had everything working, even compiz desktop effects [02:03] and now nothing [02:03] can anyone help me out? [02:03] use the 'Device' pick-list to find ALSA stuff, and maybe you can see status somehow [02:03] im doing that first one you said and see how it does [02:03] donkey: that was two browsers [02:03] so anyone get same issue with firefox ? [02:03] tallyn: what GPU, and what version of ubuntu? [02:03] donkey: epiphany might not even add itself to the menu, but you can open apps from the terminal with their name and then pressing enter: epiphany-browser [02:03] bernz, yes, but it doesn't tell me the status of alsa itself. the sound icon app doesn't crash when alsa dies. however, it will crash when i force a restart on alsa to get sound back with the cmd /sbin/alsa force-reload [02:04] sebsebseb, hey -- i just installed epiphany today (via 'Add/Remove...' -- shame on me, right? ;-) .. anyway, i didn't get a shortcut on the menus -- any ideas? [02:04] anyone's wireless stop working after the recent 2.6.27-14 kernel upgrade? [02:04] well ill find out shortly [02:04] so the sound icon is not really indicative of alsa's actual functionality status [02:04] i hope that makes sense :) [02:04] bernz: browse the hidden folders. the gnome stuff, it's there some where, and then you can add to menu yourself I Think [02:04] !menu [02:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about menu [02:04] crdlb: intrepid, and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT [02:04] boot time kernel option: all_generic_ide, how do I implement this option? [02:04] LogicFan, well, you can see ALSA-related demons like so from a shell: "ps aux | grep alsa | less" [02:04] I need to configure wireless on an Acer 5315-2326 without internet access. I need to be able to download files onto another computer and transfer to the Acer with a jump drive [02:04] !alacarte [02:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about alacarte [02:05] sebsebseb, ah yes, great idea! cheers [02:05] tallyn: did you enable it in system > admin > hardware drivers ? [02:05] !fishing [02:05] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [02:05] bernz: well wine stuff is left in the menu, after wine is gone, but I know there is a folder for that stuff, because I been there [02:05] Tamnakz: yes, that sounds like a good plan. I'd go to madwifi.org and get their tar.gz on your drive, then install it. [02:05] bernz: and why shame on you? Epiphany and Galeon are nice browsers. of course I would mainly use Firefox for browsing the web, because of browser market share reasons [02:05] boot time kernel option: all_generic_ide, how do I implement this option? do I write in in the terminal somehow? [02:06] bernz, sorry, not really sure what i'm looking at with that command [02:06] [02:06] Tamnakz, almost all OSes nowadays support USB MSC (mass storage class) devices like thumbdrives, so you're all set there, probably... you can transfer a package (e.g. something.deb) containing wifi drivers via USB stick, then install that, and maybe get it going... you will want to read about "madwifi" and "wpasupplicant" and "networkermanager" and a few other things, i think [02:06] crdlb: yes, I enabled it there, but it fails now [02:06] tallyn: what do you mean "fails"? you hit low graphics mode? [02:07] sebsebseb, for the shame, i meant because i did it via GUI, rather than command-line ;-) cuz i *can*... but i'm getting old and lazy :-D [02:07] lightbots, : do you mean add the module at boot ? [02:07] bernz: did you miss my message about when I use synaptic :d [02:08] crdlb: yes, I basically have very poor redraw rate when I am only moving windows around [02:08] georgy: i suppose [02:08] bernz: if I don't know the programs name I will use synaptic, altough I know there is some command that could be used instead [02:08] crdlb: and compiz effects are definitely de-activated [02:08] LogicFan, so, "ps aux" == "show all processes, i mean all, dammit", then the "pipe" ('|') sends the output to "grep alsa", which looks for lines containing "alsa", then the output of that is sent to "less", a "pager" (a program that lets you read output page by page) [02:08] tallyn: put your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old on a pastebin [02:08] lightbots, : you can add it in /etc/modules [02:08] doleyb: I cannot find the tar.gz [02:09] Uh Oh, Exploit code targeting major Intel chip flaw to be posted 3/19/09 ? [02:09] anyone know how to change the wireless driver back to the proprietary one? my wireless stopped working the past day or two [02:09] sebsebseb, yeah, i'm sorry, i was just trying to be funny, but it wasn't really :-/ no worries anyway :-) [02:09] bernz, sorry, how do i interpret or scroll through the results? all i'm seeing is " 5528 0.0 0.0 7480 880 pts/0 S+ 19:08 0:00 grep alsa" [02:09] georgy_28: thanks ill try that [02:09] LogicFan, ah, right, so... [02:10] LogicFan, well, that tells you ALSA is running (probably)... (was that not what you were trying to determine?) [02:10] !wireless [02:10] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:10] LogicFan, those lines tell you the process name (rightmost), its ID (pid), how much memory it's using, etc [02:11] what permissions do you set on /var/run so that services can create their .pid files? [02:11] LogicFan, "man ps" for details about those lines [02:11] could anyone help me with hoking up my xbox 360 to share the internet through my laptop? [02:11] hooking* [02:11] AnyaJ: you here? [02:11] yes i am [02:11] AnyaJ: ok guys just showing Anya something [02:11] bernz, ok, thats good to know. but i was hoping for something a little more like alsa's own errors. so perhaps i could see which part of alsa stops functioning when power management kicks in [02:11] !women [02:11] The women and men of the Ubuntu women project hang out in #ubuntu-women. Encouraging women to use linux? Read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some suggestions compiled by women who use Linux on how to do so effectively. [02:11] lol [02:12] sebsebseb, incidentally, have you noticed any lag with firefox, and have you tried epiphany? [02:12] !ubuntu [02:12] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [02:12] bernz: I get issues with Firefox [02:12] sebsebseb:its nothing will permission mr sebsebseb [02:12] ooooo it works [02:12] sebsebseb:but its an error [02:12] bernz: Ubuntu's unoffical version. in Windows Firefox works well [02:12] LogicFan, oh... ALSA almost surely keeps a log of its victories and failures... perhaps somewhere in '/etc' or '/var/log'? [02:12] bernz: Firefox likes to crash a lot here. that unoffical Ubuntu version. I still haven't been arsed to try and sort Firefox out more properly. by say using a officall Mozila version? [02:13] ah! i'll check [02:13] im trying to get the epiphany-browser but it wont go unless galeon is it........ help me [02:13] LogicFan, in there, it might show you what's causing the problem [02:13] How do I search through a thread in the ubuntu forums? [02:13] you may want to try iceeweasel [02:13] iceweasel* [02:13] sebsebseb, fair enough -- i'm only trying to survive long enough for google chrome to be properly ported to GNOME [02:14] i went to turn my 8.10 ubuntu laptop back on from standby mode. it didn't come up to the desktop. it's stuck with a black screen. any options besides just rebooting it and losing the open data? [02:14] rmmRMM: was that a response to me? [02:14] could someone help me with some networking problems im having? [02:14] (i got crack-addicted to chrome just before i left windows) [02:14] im trying to get the epiphany-browser but it wont go unless galeon is it........ help me [02:14] ader10: yes it was [02:14] rmmRMM: That response makes no sense >< [02:14] ader10: iceweasel is a debian version of firefox, "cleaned" [02:14] donkey, i'm actually trying to install epiphany also [02:14] would use different libraries [02:14] rmmRMM: You don't understand. [02:14] rmmRMM: I want to search through a thread [02:15] it's over 500 pages [02:15] oh [02:15] donkey, this is the first i heard of 'galeon'... let me check it out [02:15] ader10: thanks for clarifying [02:15] :) [02:15] Tamnakz: http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz [02:15] bernz: there was an article [02:15] donkey: what do you mean? it won't go? [02:15] bernz: chrome has been released [02:15] It's outrageous if you can't search through threads [02:15] says i have it but when i go to the internet tab its not listed [02:16] any special key combinations that might get my desktop to come back? i just got a black screen trying to come out of standby on my laptop. [02:16] Tamnakz: do you know what chipset it is? [02:16] http://tinyurl.com/cukbtk [02:16] storbeck, sebsebseb, sweet jebus! my dreams have come true -- i hope it's largely unchanged, except to match the GNOME look and feel [02:17] http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/03/17/google-chrome-on-linux-progressing-screenshots-inside/ [02:17] Tamnakz: if it's an atheros ar242x, a driver is included on the intrepid cd in linux-backports-modules-intrepid, just not installed by default [02:17] testing [02:17] Just add it to the repos and apt-get install it [02:17] crdlb is says i have the program but when i go to the internet tab (in the programs) epiphany-browser is not listed [02:17] is there anyone in here that considers themselves to have a good knowledge of networking in ubuntu? [02:17] donkey: yes, that's a bug in the packaging [02:17] bernz: uh looks like I didn't even type the first bit. since I got distracted by something. [02:17] bernz: there was an article about trying the latest Chromeium in Linux [02:17] storbeck, wow, now that i understand what that means, it's easy ;-) [02:17] crdlb what should i do [02:17] :) [02:18] bernz: not proper Chrome [02:18] donkey: it's installed, but won't appear in the menus unless you restart gnome-panel (or your entire session) [02:18] how do i restart gnome panel? [02:18] sebsebseb, ah, okay, that's what i'd last heard, but that's running via wine or something weird, no? [02:18] can anyone tell me what this means? Xorg[5083]: segfault at 616c756d ip b7a0ed64 sp bff305f0 error 4 in libdri.so My laptop has "crashed" a few times in the past two hours for no discernible reason. The only thing suspicious in the system logs is above. [02:18] bernz: no native [02:18] crdlb how do i restart gnome panel? [02:18] sebsebseb, oh, good enough for me, then :-) [02:19] donkey: 'killall gnome-panel' should do it (it should respawn) [02:19] short story: i'm going to be getting my chrome on to-NIGHT!

I've tried installing drivers, but with X not working, it leaves me with very few options. I did manage to get one set [02:20] bernz: i'll see if I can get the link, but I guess this is only for experienced Linux people :) [02:20] wrektkjet: check your plugins [02:21] jrib and ubottu yes I did that but I wanted it to load at startup with out user interaction [02:21] I have samba installed [02:21] crdlb, sweeeeeeeet, that's the magic clue i was waiting for -- a restart of gnome-panel (or the WM, or reboot) is required to "update" the menus (i was wondering where my updated menus were, and hadn't yet rebooted) [02:21] *it can't find the driver [02:21] shippo: yes, so you should read that page... [02:21] I can manually mount it fine [02:21] jrib: plugins for pidgin u mean? [02:21] BlackAeronaut, : try the vesa driver [02:21] crdlb: It is an ar242x. how do I download this file to transfer it?

I figured it out. [02:45] r00tintheb0x, right on :-) [02:45] Im not used to all this snazzy GUI stuff. [02:45] hey guys walk me through using setting up ubuntu and virtual box:-) [02:45] I was about to edit /etc/network/interfaces bernz [02:45] oh yeah, sometimes the GUI gets in the way, but intrepid seems pretty solid finally :-) [02:46] Yeah, i moved from Solaris bernz === r00tintheb0x_ is now known as r00tintheb0x [02:46] r00tintheb0x, hehe, yeah, i hear that -- editing 'interfaces' -- no more of that, it's NetworkManager's job :-D [02:46] Yeah, that kind of scares me bernz [02:46] Im having a HECK of a time with my servers @ work and their NTP settings. [02:47] I have like... 25 linux servers... and none of them want to sync to my DC. [02:47] r00tintheb0x, well, on the plus side, you can always disable NM and go at it manually like in the days of yore :-] [02:47] hey guys walk me through using setting up ubuntu and virtual box please :-) [02:47] NM works fine, I just didnt understand the whole profile thing. [02:48] killindillin, what is virtualbox? [02:48] And why do you need to be walked through setting up ubuntu. [02:48] a virtual machine program [02:48] Its like, installing windows. [02:48] Can anyone tell me if there is a way to change the default mount point for my ipod? I have looked in the mtab and can't see anything glaringly obvious like with my ntfs partitions. Any idea? [02:48] gRunt, paste me your /etc/fstab to http://www.pastebin.ca [02:49] ok screw it tell me how to in stall it to a 4 gig flashdrive [02:49] okay I just looked at it but I didn't recognise my ipod 2 secs [02:49] gRunt, you might be able to do it from the GUI, if you like to do so: in nautilus (default file explorer), right-click the volume when it's mounted (or on your desktop), and select its properties and dig around in there; you can assign an overriding default mount point [02:49] !usb | killindillin [02:49] killindillin: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [02:49] killindillin, what do you mean man. The install for Ubuntu is point and click. [02:49] r00tintheb0x: there's no need for that. [02:50] Gnea, no need for what. A /etc/fstab paste? [02:50] ubottu that worked but it will only work with the IP address, the server name will not resolve in the fstab file at startup, any ideas? [02:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:50] gRunt, maybe you have to first determine what profile/class your iPod uses to connect -- it might be MTP, not MSC [02:50] (if it's MTP, it might not mount like a typical mass storage device, like a USB stick or portable HD) [02:50] r00tinthebox:i'm a noob so help me [02:50] helllo [02:50] hey [02:51] thanks bernz that might be just as easy and r00tintheb0x this is my current fstab (and my ipod is currently connected) http://www.pastebin.ca/1364876 [02:51] killindillin: if you want help, please do not demand it [02:51] k sorry [02:51] killindillin: I am here [02:51] checking gRunt, give me a second. [02:51] gRunt, how do you "get at" the files on your iPod when syncing? with a regular file explorer, like nautilus, or with a special app? === LjL-Temp is now known as incognito [02:51] killindillin: md5sum the ISO first [02:52] killindillin, the quickest way to learn linux is trial and error. [02:52] !md5 [02:52] 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 [02:52] does anyone know if a servername like TEST will resolve in fstab versus having to use the IP address for TEST of 10.10.0.1? [02:52] bernz: gtkpod === incognito is now known as incognito` [02:52] r00tintheb0x: yes and that is what he will start doing in Virtualbox [02:52] whats up everyone [02:52] scunizi, that's "special", i guess -- does it use MTP? [02:52] killindillin: if you check out that second URL that I had ubottu toss your way, you'll find instruction on how to get ubuntu to install to a usb drive [02:52] Most people will not help you if the "problem" you're having has a thousand walkthroughs and resolutions. [02:52] shippo: it will if "TEST" is in the /etc/hosts file [02:52] bernz I have an ipod touch 2g and while there are hacks for a jailbroken ipod (which mine is) for the most part I can't get syncing to work, and sadly I haven't found an app I like that deals with podcasts and movies like itunes so im currently dual booting into a tinyXP install just for itunes. [02:53] But I normally SSH into my box or do a tethered SSH in windows, linux has proven to be a pain. === kalpik__ is now known as kalpik [02:53] r00tintheb0x: it's actually better if the user has an idea of what the actual problem is in the first place [02:53] killindillin: whatever to that guy, and let's get you setu [02:53] gRunt, and you say that the IPod is connected and mounted now? [02:53] scunizi: that makes me think that it would be a manual entry in a different file, is that correct? [02:53] killindillin: pm if you don't want to chat here [02:53] gRunt, pastebin me the output of "fdisk -l" and "mount". [02:53] bernz: no.. wait.. I get mixed up on mtp vs the other.. I think mtp is the more difficult one that may be better supported in the next release, Jaunty [02:53] yeah its connected there is an "apple ipod inc" icon on my desktop with a camera logo r00tintheb0x and will do that now [02:53] shippo: manual entry in /etc/hosts [02:53] r00tintheb0x: but, your attitude of "too many steps, so piss off" isn't a good one to have around here [02:54] Gnea: agreed [02:54] Gnea, im sorry. It looked to me like he was wanting instructions on how to install Ubuntu as a virtual machine. [02:54] would someone help me about how to separate debug info from executable? [02:54] Sorry Gnea, you're right. [02:54] gRunt, okay, you might be able to run tinyXP *inside* a virtual machine in ubuntu, to improve things a bit... as for the syncing, if you can get the device to act as an MSC (mass storage class), basically, just exposing its hard drive contents, you could do a lot with it [02:54] I'll try to be more... [02:54] Accepting. :) [02:54] r00tintheb0x: yes he did, becasue I was helping him earlier with things [02:54] scunizi: I am looking for any automatic way to do that b/c my network gets reset a lot. [02:54] scunizi, yeah, MTP is more complicated, for sure [02:54] Sorry guys. [02:54] :) [02:54] r00tintheb0x: well maybe he does [02:54] Need some help with a display driver. Running Ubuntu 8.10 64 Bit on a Toshiba Satellite A355D - CPU: AMD Turion X2 Ultra 64. GPU: ATI Mobilitiy Radeon HD 3470 X2 Hybrid. I get nothing but Terminal whenever I boot, no mater how I boot (clean install, install from Wubi, Live CD). Startx does not work - it can find the drivers. I've tried installing drivers, but with X not working, it leaves me with very few options. I did manage to get one set [02:54] shippo: do the ip's change? [02:55] scunizi: yes [02:55] !vbox [02:55] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [02:55] gRunt, im waiting on the paste :) [02:55] I am helping him in pm now, so nevermind [02:55] BlackAeronaut, give me a min. [02:55] r00tintheb0x: Thanks. [02:55] killindillin: have you checked out the virtualbox setup details? [02:55] shippo: then you're stuck.. there's no automagick way of doing it.. unless .. you're running a server and want to get at it right? [02:55] yeah bernz i could but dual boot is handy incase I stuff up ubuntu lol and oh im pasting now sorry :) [02:55] Gnea: he has pmed me [02:55] sebsebseb: ah, ok cool [02:56] BlackAeronaut you do get text though correct? [02:56] anyone know where I can find info on getting full resolution on a Dell E6400 laptop? I'm only getting 1280x720 instead of 1600x1200 [02:56] scunizi: darn, I was hoping I could do something, but I guess not [02:56] shippo: you running a server that you're trying to get at? [02:56] gRunt, okay, no worries [02:56] r00tintheb0x, http://www.pastebin.ca/1364879 [02:56] Virtualbox rules!!! Thank god, I can get rid of damn VMware Workstation now! [02:57] checking now gRunt [02:57] scunizi: it is just another windows system running xp, not specifically a xp server version === solid_liquid is now known as CodeGuru [02:57] r00tintheb0x: Correct: I always got Terminal, but gedit doesn't work since it's dependant on X. [02:57] yeah bernz I've been using ubuntu for 4 days, I think I am learning kind of quick but I reinstalled it about 5 times in the first day just testing things, now I have it working I am afraid to try and do anything to fancy now I have it the way I like :) === CodeGuru is now known as solid_liquid [02:57] gRunt, where is the IPod mounted now, /mnt/shared_ntfs ? [02:58] BlackAeronaut, but you're seeing text, okay. [02:58] gRunt: just remember most things you do to break the install can be fixed without reinstalling.. it aint windows baby! [02:58] BlackAeronaut, type startx for me. [02:58] scunizi: I would imagine if I was running a server then I could have a DNS service running on it to resolve the name to the ip address? [02:58] I know its not going to work, but I want to see the error it gives. [02:58] nope thats my ntfs partition that I want to load on boot I just didnt want the icon on the desktop so I was suggested to not mount it in /media that is just a parition both my XP and ubuntu install can access. [02:58] r00tintheb0x: OKay. I know how this goes, though. ;) [02:58] BlackAeronaut, are you getting "Primary device is not PCI" ? [02:58] shippo: or take the easy way out and use something like dydns [02:59] gRunt, can you tell where your ipod is mounted as of right now? [02:59] scunizi: is there somewhere I can read up on dydns? [02:59] gRunt, heh, awesome, okay, here's your next trick: resize your HD into two halves, and clone your working copy onto the spare half, then make a bootable USB system-on-a-stick to restore the busted "main" partition by copying back the previous "good" one from the "spare" (only works if you've done "simple" partitioning with most "special" directories all on the same volume) [02:59] !dydns | shippo [02:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about dydns [02:59] r00tintheb0x, by default it is /media/ipod but I will check [02:59] shippo: yep.. www.dydns.org [02:59] gRunt, then, go nuts! [02:59] r00tintheb0x: I get: (EE) No devices detected. [02:59] shippo, http://www.no-ip.com/ [02:59] scunizi: thanks for your assistance! [03:00] r00tintheb0x: I meant what I said about X not being able to find the driver. ;) [03:00] BlackAeronaut, do you see "Primary device is not PCI" right before that? [03:00] shippo: np.. r00tintheb0x gave you another link as well.. never used that one.. but would be worth looking at. :) [03:00] BlackAeronaut, relax... just answer my questions. I've got this. [03:00] shippo, i use no-ip, its in the ubuntu repos [03:00] I love it. [03:01] r00tintheb0x, hah it doesn't appear there, which is odd it used to be /media/ipod. The only reason I want to mount it somewhere else is that stupid icon just makes me cry (im anal about having unwanted desktop icons gone) [03:01] So not even sure if it is mounted tbh. [03:01] gRunt, is the ipod plugged in? [03:01] and turned on? [03:01] scunizi: I guess another way would be to assign static ip address to the xp windows machine, right? [03:01] r00tintheb0x: shippo AH.. no-ip should probably be used in conjunction with dydns.org [03:01] (possible typo? www.dydns.org -> www.dyndns.org) [03:01] r00tintheb0x, aye im charging it, and yes I was just playing pokemon emerald on it ;) [03:01] good night [03:01] scunizi, no-ip has a client in the repos for their free service. [03:02] My DNS name is.... mikesays.servebeer.com [03:02] gRunt, open up a terminal. [03:02] bernz: yep.. thanks. shippo catch the correct spelling ^^--^^ [03:02] now that is funny r00tintheb0x [03:02] type: tail -f /var/log/messages [03:02] unplug, and replug the ipod [03:02] already done :) [03:02] like that huh shippo ? ;) [03:02] hi guys, i am in a dilemma now, someone convinced me about switchin to slackware, when reinstalling computer with trippple boot. that means lilo bootloader in the start and then a redirect on each partiion. sorry for bad explanation. now i have installed sp1 in vista. but miss ubuntu so bad. i need help here. lilo bootloader is deletelet from the cbr or what it is called. i need it back. so... [03:02] ...i can copy the tripple boot config in lilo and try to use it to set up tripple boot with ubntu [03:02] gRunt, what'd it say? [03:02] BlackAeronaut, did I loose you? [03:02] could you help me? [03:03] itachi7, ask your question. [03:03] shippo: mine is scunizi.isa-geek.com [03:03] r00tintheb0x, i had a clean terminal up it didnt say anything I just got a gnome window that asked me what default action I wanted to take [03:03] do you know how to programing with opengl in ibex [03:03] ??

I am a sysadmin... sorry [03:04] functionofxy, explain the problem or ask the question. [03:04] People will help if they can.; [03:04] BlackAeronaut, You have 2 graphic cards and xorg doesn't know which one to choose as primary adapter. You need to define it in section "Device" of your xorg.conf config file with a line like: BusID "PCI:02:00:00 [03:05] Thats your laptop problem. [03:05] r00tintheb0x, no didnt even know that existed lol ill do it now [03:05] r00tintheb0x: Negative.

[03:06] r00tintheb0x, http://www.pastebin.ca/1364883 from my tail command thingy. [03:07] functionofxy: ati, intel or nvidia? [03:07] my only lead is that i did apt-get upgrade today and it updated libavdevice52, libavutils, etc. [03:07] gRunt, hold... [03:07] scunizi, ati [03:07] r00tintheb0x, *holding* [03:07] scunizi, ancient card. ati rage 128. worked fine until today [03:07] gRunt, now paste me a "sudo fdisk -l" [03:07] functionofxy: there have been others on today with ati issues.. sorry I'm better at nvidia [03:07] can still get basic generic output. i dont think its a problem with the card [03:08] scunizi, do you think i'm on to something w/ the package upgrades? [03:08] how i can do one makefile to run 2 programs with opengl [03:08] functionofxy: most likely xrandr .. google that for commands and I'll also send you a link from ubottu that might help [03:08] !resolution | functionofxy [03:08] functionofxy: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

Is there anyway a usb flash drive, when inserted into a ubuntu 8.10 machine autorun malicious code and infect my ubuntu box? Thanks [03:12] BlackAeronaut, give me a couple mins... im researching. [03:12] r00tintheb0x: Got a copy of the bad box's xorg.conf on this box, so whenever you're ready. [03:13] ok BlackAeronaut paste me the output of this command... [03:13] grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:13] anyone use parrot? It won't run this ruby script http://paste.ubuntu.com/133387/ what's up? [03:14] r00tintheb0x: OKay, wiat one... [03:14] Hey guys. Is there anyway a usb flash drive, when inserted into a ubuntu 8.10 machine autorun malicious code and infect my ubuntu box? Thanks [03:14] kk [03:15] slerder, are you asking if its possible? If so, yes. [03:15] r00tintheb0x: Driver "vesa" [03:16] BlackAeronaut, okay... hold up. [03:16] BlackAeronaut, are you able to paste to a paste bin errors now or no? [03:16] wow just trying handbrake for the first time, much much faster encoding than super (C) for windows! life is good with ubuntu! [03:17] r00tintheb0x, how? Is there any way i can know if it happened? thanks [03:17] r00tintheb0x: I can use pastebin, just not on the bad box. I have to manually type everything. [03:18] Okay black, type startx on the bad box again. [03:18] r00tintheb0x: Right, wait one... [03:18] kk [03:18] r00tintheb0x: Okay, watcha looking for? [03:19] What is the superior openoffice / spreadsheet community? [03:19] Is there something simalar to wine but for mac software? [03:19] slerder, do some reading on the autorun feature in general (for any OS, like Windows, Linux, etc) -- i don't think Linux distros typically support unauthorized autorun, but i usually disable it in any system i use anyway, unless explicitly needed [03:19] Chaorain: don't think so [03:19] mac wine = whiskey [03:19] BlackAeronaut, whats the general error. [03:19] No screens found? [03:20] I'm trying to use OpenOffice / Spreadsheet (Excel). How do I delete all rows that DONT contain a specific string? Is there an IRC channel for that? Google SUCKS. [03:20] anyone know how to download flv's from a website... [03:21] slerder, in other words, it's unlikely you would have an auto-run executable that's linux-format compatible, although it's possible [03:21] Is there native support for RAR's? [03:21] r00tintheb0x: Generally seems to b that the devices aren't connected. [03:21] slerder, clamAV is sort of designed for what you want, though -- it looks for "parasites" [03:21] * bernz AFK === numskul is now known as helix` [03:21] bernz thanks, will look into it [03:22] mylisto, firefox extension, download helper or something similar === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz === Iron-Man is now known as _Warrior_ [03:22] theres this video I am trying to download...this is the source code [03:22] http://video.cw11.com/global/video/flash/flashvideoplayer.asp?playerName=miniplayer.swf&playerHeight=318&playerWidth=340&menuPosition=none&clipId=3559823 [03:22] not sure if I will be able to download the flv [03:23] Hey bernz my laptop just overheated and died (my fault lol) and now handbrake is being homo....but that aside I just noticed my ipod is being recognised as Filesystem type: gphoto2 when I go to properties, does that seem odd to you? [03:25] Well I gtg restart 2 secs [03:25] anyone else heard of trouble w/ ati graphics this week? [03:25] Where's a good IRC channel for OpenOffice / Spreadsheet / Calc. [03:26] Why do 2004 and 2005 ubuntuforums posts always show up in google first? === Album is now known as Album|Awy [03:27] hi. Putting a user in the list of sudoers is practically equivalent to giving them root, isn't it? [03:27] i.e., they have the power to do anything root can do? [03:28] Ficthe, probably, in principle, yes, but i think that's what a "chroot jail" is for (to "reign them in", so to speak, if they are "untrustable") [03:29] how do i format a usb flash with CDFS filesystem ? [03:29] Hrmm I might post there here too as it may be more ubuntu specific than handbrake....sooo [03:29] bernz, alright.. but without this "chroo jail" -- a sudoer has to powers that root has, that's basically what I wanted to know, thanks [03:29] chroot* the* [03:29] I just installed handbrake for ubuntu 8.10 I was converting my first file and threw my laptop on my bed, anyway apparently the quilt blocked the exhaust fan and half way through the encode my computer restarted, now when I open handbrake if I hit start the program just seems to close, doesn't do anything. Any way I can fix this? [03:30] Dreamglider, i think you probably need to "rip" the CDFS as an ISO or similar format, then copy that file to the USB flash ... not sure if it's possible to transfer the CDFS directly, as it's a weird format, unlike most PC disk formsts [03:30] is there some kind of repair feature or something? I installed it via a .deb file in from their site so I dont know :s [03:31] Dreamglider: maybe just dd it? [03:31] Ficthe, there may be other "limitations", so it's best to read the manual for 'sudo' (e.g. 'man sudo') at the least, and maybe read a bit more about it if your job or serious hobby will involve much Linux system administration :-) [03:31] pepperjack: can dd make a cdfs partition ? [03:32] well you would make the partition first [03:32] bernz, lol, you see.. I'm not quite the admin, my teacher is. He put my account in the list of sudoers today, so I was just wondering. :) [03:32] Dreamglider: im really not sure i know nothing of cdfs so take anything i say with a grain of salt [03:33] hello [03:33] spanish?

I've tracked the libnssutil3 missing file to the libnss3-1d package but if I try to reinstall that I get 'Reinstallation of libnss3-1d is not possible, it cannot be downloaded - can anyone help? [03:43] JohnBoy80: ok what would you like help with? [03:43] JohnBoy80: Flash ok [03:43] !flash [03:43] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:43] i tried d/l the *.deb but it wouldnt work [03:44] JohnBoy80: ok open a termianl [03:44] JohnBoy80: applications > assessories > terminal [03:44] JohnBoy80: try this: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [03:44] JohnBoy80: in fact if you want Flash and AVI and MP3 suppourt, you do yeah? [03:45] "couldn't find package flashplayer-nonfree" [03:45] anyone know the best bit torrent client for ubuntu? pm me if you have any good ones u know of...i like somthing with alot of features/plugins [03:45] frank_austin, does /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d exist? [03:45] no [03:45] JohnBoy80: this will install the closed restricted stuff: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:45] Hey all, I have a problem. In the workplace switcher, when I click on a window and drag it to another workspace, nothing happens... Can anyone help me with that? [03:46] unop: its also not listed in the synaptic installed files for the libnss-1d package even though apt-files shows it up [03:46] seb, can i PM you? [03:46] frank_austin, maybe reinstall this way? sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude remove libnss3-1d; sudo aptitude install libnss3-1d [03:46] module configuration contains directive install pci:v0000168Cd00000013sv*sd*bc*sc*i* /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper [03:46] ;you should delete that at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 868, line 4. [03:46] Dreamglider: wrektkjet: sudo fdisk -l [03:46] This is what I get because I had tried to install a usb wireless nic how to I remove this so I can try a diff driver? [03:47] unop: I'm nervous about uninstalling then reinstalling a core package. Are you sure that I can do that safely? [03:47] what is that last symbol [03:47] hi guys... [03:47] frank_austin, well, pay attention to what the dependencies are and whether or not they are to be removed to.. if it has no dependencies, it should be relatively safe. [03:48] frank_austin, an alternative is to download and install the package manually. [03:48] How do I run a .out file? [03:48] unop: how do I download and install the package manually? [03:48] I have problem in my laptop.... my mouse is acting crazy whenever I click sometimes my cursor move automatically... been using mousepad === chris_ is now known as chrisrio [03:49] frank_austin, cd /tmp && wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nss/libnss3-1d_3.12.0.3-0ubuntu0.8.04.5_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i libnss*.deb [03:49] unop: bear in mind I have no browser (but do have internet access on the machine - I manually reconfigured the interface) [03:49] Ficthe, ahh, just read the backlog re: your class -- "with great power comes great responsbility" ;-) [03:49] dreamgilder: i was able to run that command yuou gaver me in the terminal by pasting it. how would i type that last symbol though? [03:49] guys can someone help me.... my cursor is moving when i click sometimes.... [03:50] bernz, he didn't give the whole class or anyone else sudo, *just* me ;) but yes, don't worry, I'm not naughty. [03:50] unop: thanks! I'll try that. back soon. [03:50] Hi, I have a question.. to install LXDE from ubuntu server what 'sudo apt-get install xxx' is used? would I have to install the entire Xubuntu-desktop? thx in advance [03:51] does ubuntu 8.10 32bit happen to have >4gb memory support? [03:51] unop, note, frank_austin has used a "one" character, not a lower-case "ell" character, as the 2nd-last in the name, and i'm used to seeing "ell dee", not "one dee" after "*.so." -- could this be a factor? [03:51] anyone know if there is a plugin for linux like the realplayer one? [03:51] How do I add a public key? [03:51] How do I run an executable file? [03:51] Ficthe, yes, i don't guess you would be, since you asked your question before going all crazy with your newfound superpowers ;-) [03:51] mn, chmod +x file [03:51] not windows executable but executable for linux [03:51] then... [03:51] ./file [03:52] unop: shouldn't that be an 8.10file (how did you get the file name so quick btw?) [03:52] bernz, it's a "1d" alright .. [03:52] mn: you basically set the executable bit as Chowder said. if you then ls -l in terminal youll see on the very left the file is now marked with 'x' [03:52] unop, okay [03:52] frank_austin, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [03:53] frank_austin, and for this package. http://tinyurl.com/dbgkuw [03:54] unop: cool, thanks. trying it now... [03:54] -l hoq do you type that? [03:54] pepperjack then how do I execute it though. Neither clicking nor passing its name in a terminal seem to work [03:54] mn: cd to the directory that its located in [03:54] did [03:54] then ./file [03:55] napzter, on a laptop/notebook? touchpad? maybe you are inadvertently pressing on the touchpad when clicking? [03:55] ah the ./ is what I was forgetting ty Chowder. I haven't been on linux for a while [03:55] :) [03:55] bernz: no.... when I click i dont touch the pad just click button then cursor moves [03:56] :( is my kb missing that symbol that looks like an integral symbol [03:56] napzter, but are you resting part of your hand on the surface that "contains" the touchpad? try lifting your hand up and touching down on the left-lick/right-click button only with a fingertip [03:57] So I'm trying to add some lines to /etc/apt/sources.list. When I run apt-get update I get the following message:W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220. How do I add the key? [03:57] napzter, static electricity can also make touchpads behave weirdly -- make sure you are properly grounded before touching your notebook [03:58] bernz no.... im not resting my hand.... I'm using dual boot and in windows I dont have such problem [03:59] how can i execute a command in x minutes? i am looking for something like: unknowntool -t[30min] 'command i want wo execute in 30min' [03:59] basti: use "at" on command line [03:59] napzter, in that case, it might be some weird settings in your X configuration (usually /etc/X11/xorg.conf) -- try examining the file to see if it makes reference to 'touchpad' drivers with settings you can research/edit -- BACKUP your original file before editing, and use 'sudo' for changes [03:59] basti cron [03:59] cron is to "heavy" for this [04:00] can i install the xorg.conf? [04:00] basti, hah! i was just going to say that cron might be too "heavy" for your purposes.. but a shell script that wields cron to do that simple "t-minus" style job addition sounds like the solution [04:00] do i have a problem if i make 2.6.28-8 to my intrepid? [04:00] thx doleyb. just the thing i searched for [04:00] I remember I deleted it and have a back up of it [04:00] and use it again [04:00] can i install the xorg.conf again? Bernz [04:01] basti, erm, or what doleyb said :-] [04:01] bernz can i install the xorg.conf again? [04:01] napzter, well, basically, you copy the xorg.conf to, say, xorg.conf.old, then make a change to xorg.conf, then restart your X server (CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE) or manually start/stop [04:02] bernz: well back in the 1992, for some reason, we'd do scheduling with "at" instead of cron, so our scripts had to be sure to "re-at" themselves before terminating so they run tommorrow. [04:02] napzter, if you need to "restore", you go to a text console (CTRL-ALT-F1), and log in, and then copy 'xorg.conf.old' over top of 'xorg.conf', restoring your original config [04:02] (then restart the X server) [04:02] is it as easy to downgrade as upgrade ubuntu [04:02] !sypnatic [04:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about sypnatic [04:02] doleyb, hah, nice :-D [04:02] My LTSP server isn't installing. It is RSODing. [04:02] unop: && bernz: Thanks for your help. reinstalling that package has got the network manager and firefox working. There are still some issues (theme, and evolution seems to have lost its configuration) resulting from the updates but things are looking a lot better. [04:02] what the command bernz? mov xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf ? [04:02] !synaptic | wanna_learn_more [04:02] wanna_learn_more: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [04:03] Hi, I have a question.. to install LXDE from ubuntu server what 'sudo apt-get install xxx' is used? would I have to install the entire Xubuntu-desktop? thx in advance [04:03] napzter: that'd work [04:03] napzter, mv not mov [04:03] frank_austin, awesome, always glad to hear success stories :-) [04:03] oh yeah [04:03] no o [04:03] I have a stream of text formatted thus: '2 aardvark 15 apple 6 cat' (a different word on every even line (and some data on every odd line)). i also have a dictionary where every word in the stream is on a new line: 'a aardvark ant apple cat cool'. i want to map the words on every even line to their line number in the dictionary and keep the data words from the odd lines intact. [04:03] thus => '2 2 15 4 6 5'. i'd like to do it all with filters and unix text tools. i realize i can do the lookup with 'grep -n', but i'm not sure what tool i should be using to run grep for every odd line in the stream. awk? any ideas how to do this? [04:03] okay starting terminal as root [04:03] napzter, almost, i'd use 'sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.old' (from the directory, '/etc/X11') [04:03] Hey is there an equivalent to df for RAM? [04:03] napzter, (because to write to that dir, you need super) [04:04] bernz: almost success - gnome settings daemon is still broken etc. but at least I can stop using this old laptop now :) [04:04] wow super root? ctrl + alt + f1 [04:04] o0Chris0o, its not easy to downgrade. Your better off backing up and then formatting the partition and installing the v. you want. [04:04] other than free [04:04] chrisrio: free top also shows info on mem usage [04:04] chrisrio, i think there's a magic directory for that, branching from '/proc' maybe [04:04] mattgyver83: ok thanks [04:04] sorry, by filters i mean pipes [04:04] frank_austin, well, yeah, partial success is still a small victory :-) [04:04] chrisrio: just run conky :) [04:05] frank_austin, it's nice to have the "feed" again, eh? :-D [04:05] napzter: CTRL+ALT+F1 just gives you a raw terminal [04:05] it works more or less the same as a terminal window from within gnome [04:05] My computer won't wake up from hibernation under ubuntu. I have to pull the plug and reboot [04:05] napzter, from CTRL-ALT-F1, you need to log in as root if you want root (not advised), or log in as your "normal" user, then 'sudo' stuff you need super for [04:06] thanks guys :P [04:06] maodun, awk could do it, perl even easier perhaps [04:06] bernz: you cant really login as root [04:06] unless you do some hack [04:06] i recently configured my internet to use opendns and used ddclient to update ip, but it has no effect up to know? [04:06] hi, is okay to ask a question how to detect and/or clean a file from dos/windows linefeeds ? [04:06] what am i missing> [04:06] guys where is the xorg.conf? [04:06] thanks unop: i'll look into perl [04:06] is there any hex editor that come on ubuntu [04:06] what foder in root? [04:06] zoobox: yes you can ask that! [04:07] like vim or something but does hex too [04:07] comes* [04:07] where is the xorg.conf ? what foder in root? [04:07] Hello, I installed oracle 10g-XE in ubuntu yesterday....The documentation says that I need to run this command (/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure) after installation. But if I try to do so, I get "command not found"..,,,Any solution? [04:07] maodun, i'm not sure, but i think you can do the whole shebang with a single AWK script [04:07] can anyone throw out the names of some good bluetooth programs? [04:07] napzter: /etc/X11/ [04:07] zoobox: and maybe you want to look for the "mtools" package [04:07] thanks [04:07] Cpudan80, "for user safety", yes? :-) [04:07] i have a problem logging in with another user getting error (could not update ICEauthurity) anyone can help?? [04:07] napzter: might want to cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-bak before editing :) [04:07] napzter, usually, '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [04:07] I am trying to code a litte bash-shellscript here and it gives some confusing errors.. perhaps there is invisible chars in that destroys it. (I did start the writing of it on a windows98-computer) [04:08] cpudan80:u know how to upgrade my intepid to kernel 2.6.28.x? [04:08] Also, if I list the files in /etc/init.d, there is surely a command with name "oracle-xe"... [04:08] ThinkMinus: have you gone to that folder and looked for oracle-xe [04:08] napzter, but remember, ALWAYS back up your file before changing it, for important config files [04:08] doleyb: ok I look at mtools first then [04:08] zoobox: dos2unix [04:08] ok, thanks bernz [04:08] ThinkMinus: go to the folder and try ./oracle-xe and then see if anything happens [04:08] zoobox: its in the default ubuntu install, it'll fix the endlines for you [04:09] zoobox, you can try "dos2unix" or "unix2dos" packages, which are conversion utils that might "fix" bad line endings (the most common Windows <-> Linux text problem) [04:09] ThinkMinus: if so then do the whole command [04:09] It is advised that you back up the original though ;-) [04:09] maodun, you'll have to "learn" AWK, but it's worth the time invested :-) [04:09] CentHOGG: If I try ./oracle-xe in that folder, I get "command not found".... [04:09] zoobox: be a real man and use sed :) [04:09] i recently configured my internet to use opendns and used ddclient to update ip, but it has no effect up to know? [04:10] but guys can I just download the xorg.conf? what do u think? i think i just deleted xorg.conf.backup [04:10] i recently configured my internet to use opendns and used ddclient to update ip, but it has no effect up to know? [04:10] what bluetooth programs do you use? [04:10] i recently configured my internet to use opendns and used ddclient to update ip, but it has no effect up to noe, what am i missing? [04:10] i have a problem logging in with another user getting error (could not update ICEauthurity) anyone can help?? [04:10] napzter: if you delete it - Ubuntu will do its best to remake it [04:10] zoobox: actually the "tofrodos" package looks better. [04:10] but guys can I just download the xorg.conf? what do u think? i think i just deleted xorg.conf.backup.... [04:10] aha thanks Cpudan80 [04:10] CentHOGG: ok then see is oracle-xe is executable... or just chmod 0440 oracle-xe [04:10] TariQ: delete the .ICEAuthority files from the users home dir [04:10] TariQ: try sudo chown -R username:username /home/username [04:11] napzter, you can always get the ubuntu live's copy, put it on a USB stick, or directly on the local hard drive, and then login via a text console and restore the file (move it to '/etc/X11') [04:11] hmmmmmmmm Cpudan80 is it automatically be created? without me installing [04:11] napzter: yes, but it is often generated wrong [04:11] pepperjack: hehe.. I'm not that good a sed... yet :-) [04:11] gotta bail brb [04:11] napzter, oh man, what Cpudan80 said -- i gotta start looking up before hitting ENTER, and save some log space on ubuntu servers :-] [04:11] I think that's what happened Cpudan80 [04:11] Anyone who's interested in solving a wireless network problem, I'll be very appreciated if you can take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1100155 [04:11] I'm having trouble adding lines to /etc/apt/sources.list [04:11] So, in my workspace switcher, I cannot drag and drop windows, can anyone help me? [04:11] doleyb: ho do tofrodos differ from dos2unix ? [04:12] zoobox: i don't know, I was just looking at package names [04:12] bernz: in booting to live cd... i just copy the XORG.CONF and copy it in uSB such that i can overwrite my old xorg.conf?? [04:12] CentHOGG: I tried chmod 0440 oracle-xe, but I still get command not found [04:12] So I'm trying to add some lines to /etc/apt/sources.list. When I run apt-get update I get the following message:W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220. How do I add the key? [04:12] oh.. it was dos2unix package name :-) [04:12] napzter: you dont need a live CD - just start an XSession and it'll make the xorg.conf file .. [04:13] It'll make the same one the live CD would [04:13] more or less [04:13] maodun, maybe this? http://pastebin.com/d7177cdd4 [04:13] i recently configured my internet to use opendns and used ddclient to update ip, but it has no effect up to noe, what am i missing? [04:13] Cpudan80: how can i start? XSession? what should i type in terminal? [04:13] are you at the ctrl+alt+F1 terminal ? [04:13] napzter, yeah, that could work, because if the live runs fine, then its xorg.conf is going to work on your hardware, probably, so if you "grab it" (copy it onto some other storage, as live things usually run out of a RAM disk), then you can overwrite your busted xorg.conf with the one you yoinked from the live run. [04:13] hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to an xterm [04:14] might be F8 or F6, sorta depends on your situation [04:14] okay [04:14] napzter, best do what Cpudan80 says; my suggestion is fairly involved, and more for "desperate measure" [04:14] Cpudan80: so if I start CTRL ALT F1.... it should be creating a new XORG.CONF [04:15] bernz: AHhhhh I SEEE [04:15] I think that CentHOOG was right!...I have only -r--r----- permissions on oracle-xe....How can I make it executable? [04:15] chmod is not working.... [04:15] bernz: What does XORG.CONF stands for? [04:15] napzter, nah, imagine your PC is running 7 different screens; each one assigned to CTRL-ALT-Fn (n==1..7) -- you can switch among the screens [04:15] they are called "terminals" ("terms") [04:15] I tried "chmod 0440 oracle-xe" [04:15] i loaded up 8.10 today and updated the nvidia drivers and now cannot get gnome to start up... i have two geforce 6600gts...im wondering if the sli setup has something do with it... [04:15] any ideas? [04:15] ThinkMinus: does it say root owns it? youll need to sudo chmod then [04:15] napzter: xorg.conf is the configutation file used for the x display server [04:16] napzter, typically, the 7th term (CTRL-ALT-F7) is the 'xterm' (where X (X11, X Windows, xorg, etc) runs) [04:16] napzter: its usual location is /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:16] pepperjack: I tried sudo too, but the problem is same [04:16] napzter, (X is the thing that looks like Windows) [04:16] wow thanksness ! hahahahahha long live DEFCON.... [04:16] what irc program would run in the other screens? [04:16] thinkminus: u try fsck> ? [04:17] fonecode: nope [04:17] is (g)parted able so resize ext3 partitions? [04:17] ok [04:17] ThinkMinus: just sudo chmod +x filename are you sure its a script? if you `head filename` does it show the shebang in at the top line? shebang is #!/bin/sh or whatever [04:17] napzter, xorg.conf stands for "X ORGanization [the guys who mostly drive its development] CONFiguration" [04:17] is there a place where boot errors would be logged? [04:18] napzter: xorg is the cludge we all love to hate [04:18] napzter, the "primary config file" for X has changed over the years, i think; it depends on your flavor of X, but for ubuntu, it's as lstarnes wrote [04:18] bernz: Xorg is also the name of their implementation of X11 [04:18] * bernz nods [04:18] Anyone know a good Ubuntu disassembler? [04:18] ThinkMinus: ok back what happened? [04:18] o0kay u gUyS are Good! [04:18] hahahah [04:19] anyone? boot error logs? where would those be located ? [04:19] unop: thanks! you pretty much nailed it, except i'm looking for the output to be 'foo 1 baz 4'. i don't parse perl very well - i understand most of what you wrote, but what does this part do: "print if $|--' input"? [04:19] Ish, probably /var/log/messages [04:19] CentHOGG: Well, it's working now! I just had to "chmod +x oracle-xe"..... :) [04:19] excellent [04:19] Ish, e.g. 'cat /var/log/messages | less' [04:19] anyone here LXDE? [04:19] hoi, anybody uses lacie lightscribe driver for linux? [04:19] of course for linux ;) [04:20] ty pepperjack, CentHOGG and everyone! [04:20] unop, specifically, $-- [04:20] err $|-- [04:20] CentHOGG: yes I had used lxde [04:20] hey, having trouble running 'apt-get update', it tells me: "W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key " -- yikes! [04:20] Icebuntu: Hi, I have a question.. to install LXDE from ubuntu server what 'sudo apt-get install xxx' is used? would I have to install the entire Xubuntu-desktop? thx in advance [04:21] Oye [04:21] CentHOGG: let me search a link for ya [04:21] thx [04:21] I'm trying to SSH into a box right next to me (no monitor). In the past I have been able to use the hostname of the computer ie. robspc. However just recently that does not work anymore (fyi, my 2 computers are on a switch not dhcp router) [04:21] CentHOGG: try searching with aptitude search lxde [04:21] guys who are using wine here..... can someone help me tutor me 1 on 1? opening the internet explorer only in wine [04:22] CentHOGG: you can use both xubuntu and lxde and even ice wm === root is now known as Rolle === nTm is now known as nitroM [04:22] ok, well lemme search [04:22] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/lxde-lightweight-x11-desktop-environment-for-ubuntu.html [04:22] maodun, $| is a special perl variable (used to unbuffer filehandles when set to true) but it has a special property .. when decremented ($|--) it alternates between a TRUE and FALSE state (and nothing else). so print if $|-- would print the line each time $| was set to TRUE - resulting in even lines printed [04:23] CentHOGG: ^^ its tell ya how to install and other things CentHOGG ice wm is also nice you might like it as well even flux box is nice [04:23] maybe cuz I typed in all caps [04:23] kiwidrew, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1031404&page=2 [04:23] how to switch between screens on irssi [04:23] maodun, maybe this then? perl -lne 'print if $|--' input | while read l; do grep -nhF "$l" dict; done #it prints line number and match - you can split it up and format it your way if you like. === pauldavidv3 is now known as jimisrvrox [04:23] how I can recover my lost grub? [04:23] Rolle: alt+ or /window [04:23] CentHOGG: hope that helps you I am just an end user [04:23] Rolle, alt/ctrl + numbers === jordan is now known as Guest74910 [04:24] is there a way to change from Xubuntu to Ubuntu withouta cd? [04:24] ok. alt ^ [04:24] thanks lstarnes... also how to go back to terminal... i started up from recovery [04:24] CentHOGG: if you need help with regards ice wm I know a few people who can help you out with it [04:24] Guest74910: install the xubuntu-desktop package [04:24] xytrus, if you are unable to boot, then easiest way is a bootable live distro or similar "rescue disk", from which you can edit menu.lst and correct stuff, or re-init grub, etc [04:24] Guest74910: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:24] hey guys I installed a usb nic and now ndis is telling me that I have the crap installed in modprobe question is how to delete it from modprobe because Ive tried to blacklist ssb which is listed as the alt driver but no dice. [04:24] lstarnes, what would that do? [04:24] Rolle: /quit [04:25] Guest74910: that would install all the components of xubuntu [04:25] Rolle, or use screen [04:25] lstarnes: but he wants to go from xubntu to ubunt [04:25] bernz: thanks a lot! [04:25] scunizi: oh [04:25] lstarnes: thanks basti: I don't think i can use screen [04:25] bernz, naw, that didn't have it. It's a problem that's been happening every reboot, it says something about "Had to boot into a shell" [04:25] Rolle, why not? [04:26] Guest74910: use ubuntu-desktop instead of xubuntu-desktop. That will install ubuntu's default packages oevr xubuntu's [04:26] lstarnes: what I meant was switching from xubuntu to ubuntu. xubuntu is missing a lot of what I liked about ubuntu and I want to switch back [04:26] basti: because i'm not in gnome? [04:26] lstarnes: alright, thanks [04:26] what does xubuntu not have? [04:26] Guest74910, you can have both XFCE and Gnome installed on the same machine. [04:26] Rolle, so what [04:26] basti: thanks! [04:26] Ish, hmm, sorry, haven't heard of that :-/ [04:26] Guest74910: like I said. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and on the login screen "change sessions".. [04:26] basti: so i don't know what you mean by use screen [04:27] bernz, how would i screencap something like that? since i don't know where it's being logged (if at all) cameraphone work? [04:27] Rolle, screen -S irrsi will create a "screen terminal" called irssi [04:27] yeah sudo aptitude install lxde [04:27] thx all [04:27] Rolle, there you start irssi and leave it with ctrl+a+d and go back in it with screen -r irssi [04:28] Rolle, so you dont have to quit it everytime [04:28] basti: or screen -RR [04:28] or that [04:28] how do I change the theme in GDM? [04:28] scunizi: thanks, I'll try that. but it will come with the things xubuntu doesn't have (OpenOffice, the forcequit app, etc), right? [04:28] I need someone really good with Network setting. I have a gigabit home network setup and I'm trying to increase the MTU on my ubuntu server 8.04.2. I have already try to add the entry "mtu 9000" and restarted my server and when i do ifconfig it still says "mtu 1500". Any help or direction would be very much appreciated. [04:28] Ish, hard to say; i've tried camphones before, but the quality is usually too low to make out text clearly... can you tell what the failure involves, in terms of hardware or software? [04:28] so go back to termina.. do screen -S irrsi then i can reconnect here? [04:29] Guest74910: yes [04:29] and to switch cont a d [04:29] bernz, apci? maybe? [04:29] what does 155 means in the line "eth1:155 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:c9:ff:5e:e8" given by ifconfig ? [04:30] Ish, well, i recognize "APIC" (advanced PIC) and "ACPI" (power mgmt); maybe you mean one of those? [04:30] So I'm trying to add some lines to /etc/apt/sources.list. When I run apt-get update I get the following message:W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220. How do I add the key? [04:30] sparky_, is all equipment on your home network gigabit capable? including switches, etc in between PCs [04:30] unop: thank you very much for explaining. i understand how it works now. but i don't think the second solution works - i want the cutting. the problem is, the data on the odd lines isn't necessarily in the dictionary. the problem seems to be that i want to pipe to 2 different functions (one pass through and one lookup) based on the line number. well, the first solution should be good enough, i think i'll just do 2 passes and then splice [04:30] bernz acpi looks closer [04:30] Chowder, take that key and google it [04:31] unop, yes everything is gigabit and i'm 100% positive everything is running at that [04:31] Ish, maybe in that case, try resetting and going into your BIOS settings, and disabling all power management-related stuff, and reboot [04:31] unop, I googled how to add the key. I got the gpg file but still nothing [04:31] bernz, kk, will try that in a bit [04:31] does ubuntu 8.10 add ~/bin to the path variable automatically in bash? [04:32] Chowder, gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 6AF0E1940624A220 && gpg --export --armor 6AF0E1940624A220 | sudo apt-key add - [04:32] unop: googling doesn't really help [04:32] Chowder, you might have had to do some operations as root, and if/when you don't, sometimes you get weird errors, or no errors (but the operation has failed) [04:32] Chowder, http://gentoo-blog.de/?p=501 [04:32] hey560: read /etc/skel/.bashrc and see [04:33] hey560, yes, if it exists and ~/.bashrc is sourced (when starting an interactive shell). [04:33] Ish, in the meantime, maybe do a bit of reading on ACPI to learn of its typical quirks and whether or not you are experiencing those sorts of problems (suggesting that it's a likely cause) [04:33] unop: doesn't seem like it has it. for some reason i have ~/bin in my path [04:33] i never added it to my .bashrc [04:33] though [04:33] i can't figure out where its coming from [04:33] hey560: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:33] are there any bash command that does nothing? bash thinks that there have to be command in an if-statement... [04:34] zoobox, : [04:34] how do i enable the 'soundcard capture' switch? [04:34] When there arent drivers for hardware I buy... I dont know why I have to hack other drivers to make them work with Linux instead of using NDISWrapper. [04:34] Is there some new version of flash that neither ubuntu nor firefox in ubuntu know about? [04:34] And if so, ow might I acquire it? [04:34] hey560, there are 10 million start-up script files chained together and .bashrc is one of the last to be run, i think, but if you're not in a hurry, you could grep your entire hard drive for that string ("~bin") [04:34] unop, thanks. I whould never have guessed it [04:35] mikebot: Well, you can download flash 10 linux-beta from the developers. [04:35] hey560, check /etc/bash.bashrc [04:35] zoobox: you could also try true [04:35] ok [04:35] hey560, or perhaps ~/.profile and /etc/profile too [04:35] zoobox: echo "nothing"; [04:35] doleyb: WHere is that? (And thank you.) [04:35] bernz: i just freshly installed ubuntu and i was surprised by this, as no other previous release did this [04:35] Gnea, that still does something :) [04:36] unop: oh, right, I'm sorry, debugging wasn't requested ;) [04:36] unop: its in .profiles: PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" [04:36] hey560, i'm a first-time ubuntu user. unop has presented some great time-saving suggestions, be sure to try those first :-) [04:36] lstarnes, how do i enable the 'soundcard capture' switch? [04:36] doleyb: Ah, I found it at get.adobe.com... thank you though. [04:36] Keal_: I have no idea [04:37] that was not a smart thing to include by default imho. i have a ~/bin directory with stuff scripts that have the same names as key unix commands [04:37] hey560, cool, you found it, i'll try to remember that :-) [04:37] i think i'm going to file a bug report on this [04:37] hey560, hmm... maybe naming your scripts something that overlaps with existing standard unix names is the problem ;-) [04:37] hey560, it used to be the case that ~/.bashrc had a line like. if [ -d ~/bin ]; then PATH="~/bin:$PATH"; fi # but i guess that is no longer the case. [04:37] mikebot: Ok, I got it from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html. To install it, I recommend you just drop it in ~/.mozilla/plugins, rather than system-wide [04:38] doleyb: Oh, OK, thank you. [04:38] bernz: i specifically name them after unix commands cuz i add the ~/bin to my path for special purposes when needed [04:38] doleyb: *very much! [04:38] hey560, you could just append ~/bin to the PATH - rather than have it prepended like it is now .. that way system commands take precedence [04:38] hey560, PATH="$PATH:~/bin" [04:39] i understand how to work around it. i just think its not a good thing for the OS to prepend it to the PATH variable by default. === eric is now known as Guest61857 [04:39] hi, im having trouble getting my ethernet to connect... it worked for a very short time and then refuses to acknowledge the fact that a cable is connected. im using a few days old dell inspiron 1525 with the Marvell 88E80XX 10/100 . any way to check if the hw itself is fine (dont have windows... and installing it is not so easy for certain reasons) [04:39] hey560, fair enough, though i'm not certain it's a "bug" exactly, unless most people use your technique (it sounds specific to a certain scenario/need) [04:39] i guess we disagree on this [04:39] bernz: oh your new to Ubuntu [04:39] doleyb: Do I need the 64-bit one? [04:39] sebsebseb, yes indeed, not so much to unix, but to Linux and specific distros [04:40] bernz: oh you didn't seem like one [04:40] This may be an odd question to ask on this channel, but does anybody know a good RSS reader that runs on windows? I'll be introducing some of my family to RSS feeds as a way to follow my blog, but I don't know any good windows reader (and I don't consider firefox live bookmarks a good solution). [04:40] nb72, google reader ftw :P [04:40] nb72: that would be offtopic here, but not in #windows [04:40] i can finally play 1080p h.264 movies in ubuntu (with 8.10). don't know why i waited to upgrade from 8.04 so long. (i have a intel 945gm video card). [04:40] sebsebseb, well, i tried slackware in the mid-90s, but then got sucked into windows by uni+full_time_work, and now i finally converted my home network to all-Linux (huzzah!) [04:41] bernz: yeah damn MS in the 90's and that really does inpact today [04:41] hey560 ubuntu 8,10 is better you say? [04:41] bernz: so many people using Windows, that would be fine on another OS, with a bit of help from someone [04:42] sebsebseb: Thanks, didn't even think that there was a windows channel. :) [04:42] MrAlexandro: 8.04 and 8.10 are not that differnet [04:42] ok [04:42] nb72: the Ubuntu bot used to have a joke about the WIndows channel and a mental asylum :) [04:42] hey560, whoah, 1080p on a 945GM? there's hope for my laptop yet! :-) [04:43] sebsebseb, don't worry, i think there's never been a better time for Linux to take over; Ubuntu is insanely popular among people who would otherwise have a fit trying to use Linux, and that will help its adoption [04:44] bernz: well yeah, but most people that use computers are extremally computer ignorant, and so they aren't Ubuntu material as such, unless someone helps them out properly, like I would [04:45] like me! [04:45] I'm finding Ubuntu as easy to use as Windows XP unless I feel the need to poke around under the hood, so to speak [04:45] wrektkjet: are you? [04:45] yea pretty disbaled [04:45] wire: easier to poke here then ... there [04:45] unop, I don't know if you seen this earlier but yes everything is 100% gigabit [04:45] sebsebseb, well, that's putting it bluntly, to be sure... i got my mom to start using windows for basic stuff (photo import, editing, basic HTML) a few years ago; i want to switch her to Linux, but i think she's about 1 or 2 Ubuntu releases away from being ready [04:45] is there a daemon that will work like ntpd only jsut as a client to keep a box's time correct? ie not a time server === Guest61857 is now known as Etherael [04:45] have ubuntu for like 5 hours already still cvant install azerues [04:45] hi [04:46] hey [04:46] i think so to. i have converted many people to linux users. using the simple interferance in ubnutu. which even i can understand [04:46] sparky_, and what speed and duplex is the link reported as? [04:46] :D [04:46] i have a problem with my video integrate card [04:46] wrektkjet: what's the issue? or have you already tried to solve it in this channel? [04:46] wire, i'm actually having a fair number of problems, but i'm more willing to "dig into" them than i'd be if i had the same problems on windows [04:46] wrektkjet: use synatpic package manager [04:46] bernz: what graphics card does your laptop have? [04:46] wrektkjet: ok Azureus needs Java, you need to install Java in that case. Azureus I used to use it, but ktorrent is so much better now [04:46] hmm... windows channel seems a bit dead and unhelpful (insert joke here...) . devilsadvocate: I'll take a look at google reader. I'd prefer something that was an actual client. Thanks for the help guys. [04:46] so I got an intel 915 mobile integrated chip in my laptop, and Driver 'i810' doesn't seem to work at all... any suggestions? [04:46] how do i mount ftp servers to my computer? [04:46] hey560, it's a Intel 945GM i believe [04:46] unop, on ubuntu or my switch? [04:47] bernz: I feel the opposite, I wouldn't know where to begin here, I feel like a beginning user just clicking buttons [04:47] install java via the add/remove programs? [04:47] * wire thinks about a beginning linux course [04:47] if you google "install java on ubuntu" [04:47] sparky_, well, both. [04:47] they have the apt-get command [04:47] really easy [04:47] wire: heh [04:48] hello i need help please [04:48] there are two options in add/remove programs for Java ... are they basically the same? [04:48] wire www.ubuntupocketguide.com ... buy in on paper or download a free pdf [04:48] scunizi: thanks for the pointer! [04:48] unop, my switch is reading 1Gps, and how do I find that in ubuntu? ifconfig? [04:48] alright, for the 1st time. [04:48] this is really peeving me off. [04:49] ok newbies, applications > assessories > terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras. that will install Java, Flash, AVI suppourt, and unrar, and some other closed programs. also http://www.ubuntuguide.org is a good start for basics.

[04:52] ysis: do you have compiz or beryl installed? [04:52] ysis: is it a legacy card? what chipset? [04:52] I need to talk to someone who knows what they're talking about.

[04:53] * crink guess flash [04:53] well I picked up one of those bcm 4318 nic's after the lovely wusb54gv2 just did not work [04:53] gzus, pepperjack: It's a GeForce2 MX200, so pretty old. How do I found out about the beryl or compiz thingy? I just installed Intrepid from the normal install cd. [04:53] bernz, learn oracle administration [04:54] uninstall you've nvidia driver first to see if that's the problem [04:54] so now ive got the issue of usb sitting in modprobe and couldnt tell you how to get it out tried to blacklist ssb and then do -m and when I did ndiswrapper -l [04:54] did you install legacy? [04:54] ysis, you should be able to figure out which driver your 'xorg.conf' should be using, and then you can check that from the command line by examining the file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) to verify that it's using the correct driver [04:54] legacy driver* [04:54] unop, when i type in "ethtool" it says bad command line argument, but when i run ethtool -h it pops up all the expresses [04:55] from memory i don't recall do you need "pico" in ubuntu terminal to edit files? === Brucee is now known as Bruceee [04:55] r00tintheb0x, hmm... i'm not TOO into databases... although you're right, it's probably a good area [04:55] I got the nic showing up as wlan1 so I tried ifconfig wlan0 up and it tells me siocsifflags: no such file [04:55] gzus, no you dont.

[04:56] jimisrvrox: udev or kernel driver problem, i guess [04:56] bernz, if you can learn the in and outs of Oracle DB and AS... and learn Linux like the back of your hand. [04:56] hi [04:56] gzus: It is the drivers fault somehow, because before I installed it it was working fine. Envyng tells me I installed 96.43.09-0ubuntu1.1, whatever that means [04:56] anyone? :-) [04:56] adful123, what are the flags against the removed packages? rc ? [04:57] You can clear $100,000.00/yr [04:57] yeah [04:57] I think that's why I'm switching my major to Information Systems ... [04:57] r00tintheb0x, not too shabby :-) [04:57] adful123, that means the configuration files are still remaining. you have to purge those packages to get rid of them completely. [04:57] ysis, what card are you running again? [04:57] "...but it's not about the money." :-D [04:57] hi i need help with my video integrate card please [04:57] crink well I couldnt rmmod ssb so I was pissed about that and idk where to go in the modprobe file to get rid of the -m usb install [04:58] gzus, GeForce2 MX 200 [04:58] sudo apt-get purge? [04:58] wire, and bernz, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:58] ericbatista, we hear you, but you must describe your problem in as much detail as possible before you can expect a response [04:58] unop, i'm starting to see part of my problem already. speed: 10mbs duplex: Half. I probally don't have the right driver for my network card. I have a Netgear GA311. [04:58] With allmighty 32 MB memory. ^^ [04:58] I'm sorry, i ment, what version of ubuntu are you running, you said interp, right? [04:58] unop, how should i go about getting the right driver? [04:59] gzus, yap it's 8.10 aka Intrepid [04:59] sorry r00t, just stopped in here after installing xchat [04:59] adful123, yea that does. sudo aptitude purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}') # careful tho... [04:59] i cant browse anything even connected on wireles... so i created a route (sudo route add gw 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 wlan0) so i got it working... but when i restarted the notebook, i wasnt able to navigate again.. and now, even repeating the process i cant navigate yet.. can aybody help me? [04:59] i didn't like interp, too many problems, I stuck with Hardy. if i were you i'd downgrade to hardy and use the EnvyNG and be done with it [04:59] bernz, i have a problem to install a integrate video card [04:59] there are alot of problems using vmware on interp as well [05:00] woops, better yet i'll just leave those config files.. i bet they won't hurt :-) [05:00] i have a p4m800 m7 a [05:00] thanks [05:00] bernz, http://i42.tinypic.com/20aq4jt.jpg [05:00] i found a how too and i try to do it [05:00] sparky_, it might be the case of autonegotiation .. see what modes your interface supports (take the grep out) [05:00] but i have a many problems [05:00] to fully remove packages do i do remove first or purge? :-? [05:00] ericbatista, AFAIK, the latest ubuntu supports the openchrome drivers out of the box... no? [05:00] whoa i just realized the system onl;y recognizes 3 gig of memory [05:00] not 4 [05:00] yep [05:00] sucks right? [05:00] adful123, 'purge' will do the removal too . in one go. [05:01] sabayon will recognize it though [05:01] ahh, thanks man :-) [05:01] gzus: I don't see the point in downgrading. The driver should be fine (it's newer, right). I suspect GNOME, Beryl, Compiz or whatever to not interact with the driver correctly. [05:02] ysis, Well like I said I had a lot of problems for some reason installing everything with interp. You're right though, Compiz and Beryl will cause problems, but from what you've said you don't have either installed, correct?

[05:02] hello [05:02] jimisrvrox: if i were you, i will try to rebuild linux kernel my own setting(.config). [05:02] night man [05:02] gzus: I didn't install them explicitly, but don't know if they come preinstalled or anything. [05:02] will xlink kai work with ubuntu x64? [05:02] /s//with/ [05:02] Ish, [repost due to flood] oh yeah, so it's suggesting that you disable the ACPI with a kernel option: 'pci=noacpi'... you can read a little about how to specify kernel options [05:03] bernz, can´t i see the link of the support you say it? [05:03] I'm running Intrepid on my laptop and it work's fine. [05:03] crink not what I was wanting to hear! [05:03] bernz, can i see the link of the support you say it? [05:03] sorry [05:03] hi, someone knows when would be gnome 2.26 ? [05:03] I guess I could use a backup kernel [05:03] hehe [05:03] how come ubuntu on;y recognizes 3 gig out of 4 of RAm [05:03] wrektkjet: Do you have a laptop with integrated graphics? [05:03] it is not hard at all... [05:03] desktop [05:03] ericbatista, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome [05:04] wrektkjet: ur bios recognize the 4 ram ? [05:04] ahh ok so youre thinking its bad kernel driver? [05:04] because I ndis'ed the win driver [05:04] ph i better check [05:04] Ish, you might need to adjust your bootloader (GRUB?) to give you a chance to specify kernel options [05:04] bernz: How do I figure out the driver setting in the xorg.conf? [05:04] what happeend is I had a usb wireless and evedentally the -m config for the usb driver is still listed so it wont take the -m for the pci [05:04] ysis: editing /etc/xorg/xorg.conf [05:04] bernz, i do use grub, would i add the pci=noacpi? [05:04] could be it doesnt. i have to look at teh bios. im still on my first few hours with this computer [05:04] ysis, you open it in an editor and kinda just browse around looking for interesting stuff [05:04] ysis, go to your synaptics package manager and search for both, then you can tell if they're installed or not [05:04] jimisrvrox: i have very few experience with wireless network driver. [05:05] oh [05:05] damn [05:05] wrektkjet, that's a limitation of the 32bit desktop kernel .. you'll have to use a different kernel to use all 4Gigs [05:05] remember to edit files though you have to be in nautilus [05:05] ysis, in my case, i have a line 'Driver "fglrx"' [05:05] unop: 32 bit kernels supports 4 gb ram :| [05:05] ysis, ...because i'm using the 'fglrx' ATI driver [05:05] and much more too [05:05] truthfully im not greedy aboutr RAM i just wanted to check that it wasnt a problem of some sort [05:06] unop, do you want me to repast useing pastebin? [05:06] nah, it's not a problem, just a bummer [05:06] bernz, let me see if i have problem i cant ask u? [05:06] x-ip, sure they do .. but the ubuntu one doesn't .. it's by design. [05:06] sparky_, sure [05:06] bernz, it reads "Driver "nvidia" [05:06] Ish, get GRUB to "wait" for you (showing a menu or something), then you can add boot options (a single key command) [05:06] wrektkjet: ive had to underclock the ram before for all of it to show up on some MBs [05:07] bernz, wait? it waits for a short bit already [05:07] ericbatista, well, i have a VIA EPIA CN 10000 on which i will be installing Linux, and it has openchrome chipset, but i haven't tried it yet, so i have no good experience/knowledge; but the forum/helpsite from my link should explain things well [05:07] gzus, bernz: Synaptic tells me that compiz is installed (1:0.7.8-0buntu4.1) [05:07] unop, do i click on download text then copy from web page? [05:07] I guess Beryl is compiz-fusion, which is not installed. [05:08] i have a runaway VLC and it is ignoreing sudo killall vlc... [05:08] sparky_, select the text you want copying .. in the pastebin textfield, do a middle click [05:08] i need a way to murder the task [05:08] hi.. how do i find out hard disk space usage on my file system? [05:08] is it possible to use nautilus instead of thunar? [05:08] unop: well, but if the limit is 4gb of ram, it should get the 4 gb [05:08] ysis, so that seems good... as for the actual settings (resolution, etc), that's more complicated... have you tried removing the driver as was suggested? it will revert you to the most "friendly" default (VESA, i think), and then you could try a re-install? someone also posted about "legacy" vs something-else === jordan is now known as Guest8276 [05:08] <= 4 is the restriction ( i didnt know it ) [05:08] (what irc client are y'all using in ubuntu) [05:09] I use chatzilla :D [05:09] x-ip, http://tinyurl.com/cocqvh [05:09] bernz: I already removed the driver via envyng. It looked fine then, but when I reinstalled I had the same problems. === elpargo|away is now known as elpargo [05:09] Anyone know a good website to find snes games i just downloaded an emulator [05:09] wrektkjet: konversation :/ [05:09] i have a runaway VLC and it is ignoreing sudo killall vlc... i need a way to truly force quit it [05:09] gartral, what does it say when you try killall? [05:09] ysis, i believe compiz is just a package that can take advantage of "fancy" drivers for "fancy" video cards, but removing compiz alone won't remove the "fancy" drivers (e.g. the NVidia or ATI ones) [05:09] is it possible to use nautilus instead of thunar? [05:09] im trying to configure lirc - when i ran apt-get install lirc - it launched a configuration tool - is there a way i can run it again [05:09] xavierg2003: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/03/pirates_of_somalia.html [05:09] ysis, are there different options for installing the driver via envyng? [05:10] unop, i don't have a middle click i'm on a mac [05:10] wow unop :| [05:10] farlig: acts like it kills the task, but the vlc doesnt even zombie... [05:10] ysis, i have an ATI card, so i don't know how the NVidia side of envyng works [05:10] when i click it it doesnt open.... [05:10] ysis: whats your problem? [05:10] bernz: Yes, I can install a driver with a lower version number, but the recommendation is the one I installed. [05:10] Thankyou [05:10] xavierg2003: You don't need to open it, just reading is enough of a hint. [05:11] sparky_, bahh.. sudo aptitude install pastebinit && sudo ethtool eth0 | pastebinit # that returns a URL [05:11] hi guys what folder i can find the wine? [05:11] gartral: My window borders are missing and things like the gnome terminal are just a white rectangle after installing the nvidia drivers. [05:11] sparky_, your terminal might have a way of copying text - i believe gnome-terminal does [05:11] that had nothing to do with what i asked..... [05:12] So e.g. when I start synaptic from the menu I get just a white rectangle instead of the gksu(?) password window [05:12] napzter: .wine under that folder is a drive_c [05:12] sparky_, i'm not sure if you can do both a left-click and right-click at the same time with a mac's mouse -- that translates as a middle click too [05:12] gartral, what does your system administration show? [05:12] But it is there, because when I type in my password blindly and hit enter Synaptic starts fine (just without border). [05:12] where is my root folder [05:12] ysis, if you install the "Compiz Fusion" taskbar widget, you can switch easily between Compiz (fancy) and the regular ("boring") WMs [05:12] unop, i'm running sever via ssh and do not have any gui install [05:12] chatzilla it is [05:12] ysis, then you can see if you have the same graphic problems in "plain" mode [05:12] ysis: i have a legacy nvidia card, the drivers are not compatible with the ubuntu kernal past 96.43.09 [05:13] sparky_, that shouldn't matter - it's the terminal you use on the client end that you copy the text off :) [05:13] napzter: how do you mean? [05:13] farlig system shows %100 CPU and RAM usage.... system load is 1.00 [05:13] gartral: I have a GeForce2 MX 200, I guess this is "legacy"? So what should I do, install the old driver with envyng? [05:13] sparky_, anyway, use the pastebinit method. [05:14] ysis: i had no end of trouble with legacy drivers and current Xorg.. [05:14] anyone got / know where to get good drivers for ati graphics cards? [05:14] gartral, does your system moniter list vlc as active? [05:14] BeerMonkey: just use the radeon open source driver [05:14] pepperjack: I really don't understand the problem with this. Shouldn't the old cards be the one best supported? [05:14] there abit poo! lol [05:14] ysis yes that is a lagacy card, i have the MX 400 with mentioned drivers, and i play SL and UT3 at decent framrates [05:15] anyone install the plus kernel for reiserfs support then try to revert back to base? [05:15] ack nm wrong channel [05:15] gartral: What's SL? I'm removing the new driver and installing the older one right now. [05:15] ysis: yes they absolutely should. nvidia though has a history of stopping support for older cards that is one reason i moved to ati now that they are going opensource [05:15] farlig: it did,,, but i just watched it die and everything is normal, it just took a hiously long time to die off (i waited 15 minutes before joining) [05:16] ysis: SecondLife... a "cutsy" mmo "sandbox" game [05:16] unop, sorry to add to my problem but now it won't fetch anything from the ubuntu servers [05:16] BeerMonkey: google ubuntu restricted and the first link should help ya out [05:16] but i'm still connected via ssh [05:16] gartral: Sounds like even less real life for computer nerds. ;-) [05:16] ok cheers pepperjack [05:18] ysis: other than the fact you can actually make money with SL, and chat with my GF while im away, i think it in itself is insipid, but a usfull tool [05:18] guys how can i view hidden folder in terminal [05:18] sparky_, ohh lord. can you ping anything out on the internet? [05:18] napzter, ls -a [05:18] gartral, did you try xkill? [05:18] unop, well, if he's able to IRC, he's not totally dead in the water :-) [05:19] napzter, there's an option in nautilus (the file explorer) [05:19] gartral: I have no time for gaming since I started using Linux... [05:19] bernz, he's SSHed into another host that's having the problem. [05:19] can anyone tell me how i can find out the disk usage of my file system? i installed ubuntu on a partition and the other partitions are mounted automatically in /media... i just want the usage of my ubuntu partition [05:19] farlig: i had closed the window it was running, and it died, but the task itself didnt [05:19] gladiator, df -h [05:19] unop, oooh [05:19] ysis: it's not exactly a game, its self descriptive... [05:20] unop, sorry, nothing, i tried www.google.com and it's ip [05:20] anyone know what to do about: Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED [05:20] sparky_, checked default gateway? DNS servers? can you ping either? [05:20] anyone configured lirc? [05:20] hey is there anywhere i can get tutorials on ubuntu networking so i can figure it out :P [05:20] i cant seem to relaunch the configuration tool [05:20] gladiator: kdirstat is a pretty good tool [05:21] gladiator: not sure of the gtk equivalent [05:21] ultratek, usually means the service on the remote machine isn't taking connections - usually because the service isn't running, port isn't open or is firewalled, etc. [05:21] unop: got it .. thanks.. whats tmpfs, varrun, varlock etc [05:21] unop, it looks like i get only to the default gateway [05:22] unop: you forgot about "it didnt receive a proper request" ;) [05:22] ty unop [05:22] ? [05:22] gladiator, temporary filesystems mounted in RAM [05:22] i have lirc installed - but when i run irw - and click the remote - i get no feedback [05:22] sparky_, but is the default gateway setup? pinging it doesn't mean its setup alright? [05:23] Brando753: what version of ubuntu you using? [05:23] 8.10 [05:23] jackmurphy: sorry i dont have a great deal of exp with lirc yet but id try /join #mythtv-users i know alot of guys in there running ubuntu with remote [05:23] unop: ok thanks [05:23] unop, if your talking about the interfaces files yes it has my gateway in it [05:24] farlig: i looked through my logs, i had pulled a dvd from a drive i *thought* was idle, VLC was trying to read it still, it was completly user-error [05:24] Brando753: have you tried looking in the forums on www.ubuntu.com? [05:24] gartral, NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED would be a horrible message for that exception, it would be apt for it be called NT_STATUS_IMPROPER_REQUEST :) [05:24] hhhhhhhhhhh [05:24] unop: heh [05:24] sparky_, no, check the output of route -n .. things can change since the interfaces file is read and interfaces setup .. [05:25] i'm trying in there === eric is now known as Etherael [05:25] but real quick - i found some docs saying - sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source should launch the config application, is there a equivilent of this for apt-get ???: [05:26] jackmurphy: no the dpkg command is what you want [05:26] pepperjack: even if its installed via apt-get already? [05:26] unop it has destination as 192.168.1.0 which is not my gateway and under gateway it has 0.0.0.0 [05:26] gartral, that's strange. what version of vlc is it? [05:26] jackmurphy: yep apt-get installs the deb packages [05:26] Hi - I installed an appl from a deb package in Intrepid. The icon to start the appl works fine when I go direct to it in orig. location at /usr/bin - but when I dragged it onto the desktop it no longer works - what have I done wrong..(I want to start this appl by cllicking the icon on the desktop-) [05:26] today i was using a macbook pro at best buy and it had the hardy heron background... which one of you was it? [05:27] farlig: dont worry about it, i compiled my own with some extras... i know what line caused the crash ;) [05:27] pepperjack: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source returns Package `lirc-modules-source' is not installed and no info is available. [05:27] sparky_, so you do have an entry in there like. 0.0.0.0 $GATEWAY_ADDRESS 0.0.0.0 ... ? [05:27] jackmurphy: dpkg -l | grep -i lirc [05:28] short version of my ?: what do I need to do to start an installed appl from the desktop? [05:28] jackmurphy: dpkg -l lists installed packages [05:28] o hrmm [05:28] gartral, aight.. [05:28] seems i just needed to do it on lirc [05:28] unop, correct, but when i installed it i did put it in there and even updated some packages. ok now what? [05:29] frybye: im not familiar with gnome but I believe you need to right-click and make a launcher or whatever the gnome equiv language is [05:29] sparky_, can you traceroute to google.com (74.125.67.100) ? [05:29] s === gzus_ is now known as syph [05:30] unop, no [05:30] gartral: I removed the latest driver and tried to install the older one (71.??.??), but when I restart the intallation routine for the driver fails (I just could read something with "DKMS"...) [05:31] sparky_, strange. this machine is on the same network as the machine you are on now, right? [05:31] pepperjack: I will have a look and try and figure it out.. thanks.. [05:32] unop, correct i do have them running thur the same gigabit switch so that is probbally the reason i can ssh in to it [05:32] sparky_, when you installed ethtool? it was able to get it off the repositories (on the internet) right? [05:33] unop, no it was already installed, i guess by default, i never did install it myself [05:33] pepperjack: it seems to have been set to open with wine? - and wants me to tell it what appl. to open with .. I just want the installed app itself to open.. eh...? [05:33] hey. issue:E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [05:33] marc@Marcs-Box:~$ dpkg --configure -a [05:33] dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [05:33] !sudo | wrektkjet [05:33] wrektkjet: 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) [05:34] oh [05:34] sparky_, hmm. [05:34] ysis, do you have an intergrated card you can fall back too? [05:34] Is there a way to enable directory indexing in thttpd, I need to enable directory indexing on the thttpd server on my modem to retrieve a file [05:34] why cant i see my xp machine from my ubuntu machine in the windows network folder [05:34] frybye: what is the app name? if it were installed with wine then the file in /bin would be a script running wine appname [05:34] sparky_, you sure you can't traceroute to this address? 74.125.67.100 [05:35] install samba to see your windows machine [05:35] zattoo_player is what it is.. [05:35] with what cmd? [05:35] syph, [05:35] ysis: 96.43.09 is the set i recommend, would you like a link? [05:35] ultratek, sudo aptitude install samba [05:35] in the past I tried installing zattoo win version with wine - but this version should be the linux version... eh.. [05:36] sudo apt-get install samba smbfs i believe [05:36] gartral: Sure, information is always welcome. [05:36] oh i have researched so much for help with samba which is installed on doing this [05:36] unop, wait a sec, i wasn't paying attention to the error but it says traceroute command not found [05:36] lol what? [05:36] but to continue [05:36] sparky_, tracert perhaps? [05:36] gartral: I will try to install it with Synaptic now. [05:37] pepperjack: perhaps there is a gnome-guru who can help out a bit on this?? [05:37] ok im trying to install java and at the ebnd of the eula it wants me to click "ok [05:37] but im in the terminal [05:37] unop, it says tracert is currently not installed [05:37] you have to use spacebar [05:38] can't "click" in terminal [05:38] pepperjack: pepperjack loves fragglerock [05:38] ok I have it now... [05:38] unop, that just seems wierd to me [05:38] puppets! [05:38] pepperjack: does pepperjack look like hes playin ? [05:38] i know i cant click.. spacebar isnt doin anything tho [05:38] ysis your CPU 64 or 32 bit? [05:38] the appl has an entry not in /internet/ in the app menu but in /multimedia etc.. I can drag that onto the desktop .. thanks... bye for now.. [05:38] maybe it's tab to ok [05:38] then spacebar [05:38] yay thank you [05:39] syph, i did a testparm on a test share and everything is checking out ok...what needs to be in the smb.conf to see my xp machine?

[05:40] that's what i did, but i haven't made myself go back yet :/ except for my laptop [05:40] gartral: GeForce2 MX 200 [05:40] Anyone know what port to open for Transmission BitTorrent application? [05:40] ill take a couple of days with ubuntu first [05:40] yeah, it's gravy, ubuntu is great to learn with [05:40] I just installed your recommended driver and got the same problem as I started with. [05:40] sparky_, I have to get to bed now .. I hope someone else can take over and help you. as for the MTU .. you have to make sure both ends of the connection, both sender and receiver are transmitting at 1000MB/s, Full Duplex and they both should have the MTU configured for 9000. [05:40] @Akkernight go into preferences, should tell you what port is being used [05:40] mine is 9091 [05:41] cipherZen, thanks-1 [05:41] !* [05:41] unop, thanks for all the help/info and i know about the MTU on both ends [05:41] g'nite [05:41] np [05:41] Hi, wondering if someone can help me with a usb key problem. Just bought a Verbatim 2gb 'Store n Go' usb key drive, and it seem to be having trouble mounting after I tried formatting it using gparted to fat32 .... I've had a google and it seems it might be something to do with the firmware. I can't find a solution. [05:42] ysis: ahh, thank you, you have a PM [05:42] how do I set a static ip in Ubuntu? [05:43] man ifconfig [05:43] sad [05:43] basically just ifconfig device [static addr] netmask [mask] up [05:43] zezu, is that for me? And do you mean terminal? [05:44] caffeinegum: if you plug/unplug it and do a dmesg | tail do you see the partition? [05:44] Akkernight: it is directed at you, probably should have used your nick [05:44] Akkernight: an example would be ifconfig eth0 10.10.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up [05:45] Zezu, eth0 being? Where do I find what I use? [05:45] it's usually eth0 or eth1 [05:45] syph: do you have two lan cards ? [05:45] unless you're wireless... [05:45] yep [05:45] well [05:45] no [05:45] syph: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:45] i have mobo and a lan card [05:45] syph, I'm from the Atlantic/Europe and I do have wireless... [05:46] i use wlan0 for wireless [05:46] static ip over wireless? [05:46] syph: us you have 2 lan careds [05:46] Akkernight: if you just use "ifconfig" [05:46] yeah [05:46] it will display a list [05:47] Sorry peeps, I'm ill as f**k, and my mind doesn't work a 100% :S Sorry if I sound retarded === gzus is now known as syph [05:47] bash: ipconfig: command not found [05:48] ifconfig [05:48] ifconfig [05:48] oh sorry [05:48] wlan0 it is... [05:48] used to happen to me all the time :P [05:48] caffeinegum: did you try sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb and deleting and creating a new partition? make sure to select 'write' before exiting cfdisk then do a sudo mkdosfs /dev/sdb1 [05:48] lol i use to netstat and get so frustrated [05:49] i thought ubuntu mounted auto? [05:49] mine always has [05:49] ZeZu, in your example you type 'up' in the end, is this needed? [05:49] What's the easiest way to switch between speakers plugged into your on-board sound card and a USB headset. Sounds simple, but it's giving me an incredibly hard time. [05:50] what do you mean switch? [05:50] syph, go from listening from speakers to listening via USB headset on the fly [05:51] plug them in? [05:51] check your alsamixer [05:51] headphones may be turned down === Kow is now known as LordKow [05:51] syph: They're plugged in and the volume is up. [05:52] you checked the alsamixer in terminal? [05:52] or just volume control? [05:52] sneaky bastards hide sometimes [05:53] syph: Just in volume control. Trying alsamixer right now. Having a hard time switching cards. Tab only switches between options for the default card/source. [05:53] pepperjack, no, still not mounting, same message when I dmesg |tail [05:54] hmm.. [05:54] roger: you saying you have more than one sound card or am i just a retard? [05:55] syph: He has two sound hardware devices, one PCI or motherboard and one USB. [05:55] Okay im getting super annoyed with handbrake every time I try and convert an ogm to an mp4 it closes handbrake, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't log files don't appear to show anything abnormal, I installed it from the debian file on their site and am running ubuntu 8.1 any ideas? [05:55] awkward [05:55] syph: Yes. What doleyb said. Onboard sound and a USB headset. [05:55] Akkernight: the up means the connection should be active i believe [05:57] how do i remove ksysgaurd... from a gnome session [05:57] roger: what kind of head set is it? [05:57] syph: Logitech notebook. [05:57] gRunt: you try running it from a bash shell and see if there's any output when it crashes? [05:58] lsusb in console [05:58] syph: Fold-up style. Has an analog connector that is currently working when plugged into the speaker (Klipsch 2.1). === jackmurphy is now known as paragonc [05:58] you get anything out of that roger? [05:58] syph: Logitech, Inc. Premium Stereo USB Headset 350 [05:58] rogermudd, I use a usb sound card and sometimes swith to my onboard sound to make use of my laptop speakers, I just simply use the pulseaudio colume control to move switch back and forth [05:58] cipherZen, im still super new to ubuntu I don't know how to run a lot of stuff from terminal what would the command be? also as I said sometimes it works i just opened it again and its now converting though chances are when it goes to the next in queue it will crash. [05:59] word, so it's detected [05:59] rogermudd, (off topic) good 2.1 sound system . i have music blaring out of it right now. :-) [05:59] syph: Yes. It's working, but I'd prefer the USB connection. [05:59] ksysgaurd was eating my proc alive, i just reniced it too 5... is this safe? [05:59] LordKow: It is good. Had for about seven years. Still sounds great. [06:00] well yeah, i was just making sure your computer was recognizing it. Have you rebooted since you've tried to fix this problem? [06:00] gartral, do you use kde? [06:00] LordKow: nope, this is a Convert... [06:00] syph: No. I haven't actually change anything. Just plugged the headset into an analog connection rather than a USB connection. [06:00] gartral, do you even need it then? [06:01] plug it into a usb slot, then reboot [06:01] lsusb [06:01] see if it's recognized [06:01] * gartral has a jack headset that skype only outputs to one ear on... [06:01] I have a laptop here that wouldn't boot windows, something about pagefile.sys not being found. I have a the ubuntu 8.04 live cd in it to try and get my databack, but it gives me squashfs errors. any help? [06:01] it should work.. i don't know why it wouldn't, mine does [06:02] rwparris2, did you try verifying the cd integrity? i've had that happen with bad burns. [06:02] LordKow: nope... but the system complains it doesnt want it gone... [06:02] rwparris: why don't you boot with a windows disc for recovery options? [06:02] gartral, what else does it want to remove? if you dont use kde anymore then you likely have a lot of leftover kde (now garbage) packages. [06:02] LordKow: I'll try in a sec [06:02] eww kde [06:02] LordKow: and i do use some KDE progs, like i cant live without k3b [06:03] syph: I'll give it a shot later. Trying to finish up and go to bed. Thanks for your help. Have to admit, this sound situation is not ideal -- at least for me. [06:03] gartral, yea neither can i. you shouldn't need ksysguard for any qt/kde apps though... [06:03] Meh--I hope they fix this stupid fglrx in 9.04 =/ [06:03] dude, when i first started bumpin ubuntu, i googled for weeks [06:03] it's just one of those things [06:03] google=your friend [06:03] TBH i couldn't even get irc to work when i first started with linux [06:04] I been googling for about 7 months =p [06:04] Lol yeah, when I switched to slackware [06:04] LordKow: and Exiale needs to be a tad better before it can replace AmaroK [06:04] google became homepage [06:04] i still have problems =p [06:04] every day [06:04] syph: Yeah. I've actually been battling this for *years.* Perhaps a mobo issue. Maybe a discreet sound card is the answer. [06:04] drop the usb headset man [06:04] lol [06:04] gartral, all true. i hate what happened with amarok 2. rhythmbox has done me just fine since i switched over to it a year ago [06:04] i'm attempting to get around not being able to get to gnome [06:05] i've never had good quality out of usb anyway [06:05] rogermudd: sometimes, its best to buy a pci sound card, does the trick. [06:05] Rolle, you're not in gnome? [06:05] gRunt: got to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal to open up the shell, then just run handbrake-gtk to start it from the command line [06:05] no =/ 9.04 is f-ed up [06:05] syph: That would be the easy solution. But audio capture is generally considered superior via USB. That's important to me. [06:05] i'm running from terminal [06:05] you should be in ubuntu+1 [06:05] What window manager are you using? [06:05] LOL [06:05] Rolle: Its not f-ed up, its still Alpha, hasn't been offically released yet :) [06:05] LordKow: thanks i was looking for that [06:06] syph: If that's directed at me, I'm using Gnome. [06:06] that doens't make it not messed up [06:06] =p [06:06] Rolle, ever used fluxbox? === carlos is now known as Guest8669 [06:06] can someone help me with amule please, i opened the ports but i have low id yet [06:06] syph: yuck [06:06] Roger, no it was too rolle, but out of curiosity, why using linux for audio capture? [06:06] chris: srsly!? [06:06] syph: no i haven't. [06:07] LordKow: someone was the light, AmaroK is now 1.4.10 in repos [06:07] hey guys not to be mean..but [06:07] !0t [06:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about 0t [06:07] !ot [06:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:07] LordKow: saw* [06:07] :D [06:07] gRunt: ah, sorry, run ghb [06:07] syph: Trying to put together some linux-related screencasts. That, and I'm moving all my machines to Linux. Cost issues. [06:07] yea the ubuntu devs realized most would not enjoy amarok 2. it's still available just not in the official ubuntu repositories [06:07] roger: at least you can justify you're decisions [06:08] syph: True. I guess you sleep in the bed you make -- or some other form of that cliche. [06:08] Does anyone know if it's possible to stop gnome from auto rotating thumbs??? [06:08] roger: indeed, i'd using mac for audio though... [06:09] use* but that's a whole nother story [06:09] toothy: id assume its nautilus doing that but not sure howto change. [06:10] syph: I actually have a unibody MBP. Nice machine, but I'm selling it in a bit for reasons including freedom and cash deprivation ;-) [06:10] pepperjack, yes i think that's right... stupid question but how is nautilus different from gnome? [06:11] roger: i was referring to a hackintosh ;) i couldn't drop all that money on a mac [06:11] toothy: nautilus is the file manager, gnome is the desktop environment. [06:11] tooth: Nautilus is the file manager for Gnome which, in turn, is a desktop environment. [06:11] pepperjack: jinx [06:12] syph: Tried the Hackintosh route. Too much fiddling a the time. And again, wanted to get away from vendor lock-in. [06:13] roger: very true brother very true [06:13] Night all. Off to bed! [06:14] night night [06:14] I recently installed a program, lirc, which loads a daemon on boot. Where is the file that controls this daemon or tells it what arguements to use? [06:14] gl with your usb issue [06:14] pepperjack, rogermudd, thanks [06:14] Thanks again for the help syph. I'm off!

[06:57] and 3 new gtk themes [06:57] Scooma, I have nvidia and fiddled around with the drivers. In the end my initial problem vanished but I lack OpenGL support now. So I wanted to make a clean start without reinstallation. [06:57] It uses the first one it finds. [06:57] DWSR: try to keep a lid on the language ;) [06:57] called.. give me a sec [06:57] jussi01:What language? I've said 3 things in here. [06:58] melik, i thought they were going to change the new default theme completely? is it just the same as intrepid? [06:58] Oh, nvm. [06:58] New Wave, Dust, and Dust Sand [06:58] Wrong window anyway. [06:58] ysis: uninstall the driver through envy [06:58] reinstall [06:58] no you have 3 new themes [06:58] can anyone help me with usb mounting? i put in my usb stick and it didnt get mounted.. i'm using 8.10... it used to mount automatically [06:58] what is the best searchcommand for the terminal? [06:58] ill link you to them [06:58] Hey if i was interested in learning more about ubuntu scripting and so forth where would I look the ubuntu wiki? [06:58] as soon as jaunty final comes out, i'm getting a brandnew hdd for my laptop to install it on :) [06:58] Thanks for the help again LogicFan. I give calibre a try. [06:58] gnome-scan doesn't appear to have an option; but I did find the setting in xsane: window -> show advanced options, you can change the scanner compression there [06:59] http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-9-04-039-s-New-Themes-106961.shtml [06:59] LogicFan, ^ [06:59] DWSR, i dont think your understanding me. why would it tell me that that ~/opt/bin/hg does not exist when i run hg. there is an executable at /usr/bin/hg so it should look through the directories and find the executable. not just look in ~/opt/bin and say it doesnt exist! [06:59] ysis usually a reinstall will reset to default settings [06:59] hacker_kid: Is your Path even correct in the first place? [06:59] DWSR, yes [06:59] too bad, gnome-scan is better looking and I like the crop interface better [06:59] !gnome-scan [06:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-scan [06:59] hacker_kid: Paste in PM [06:59] LogicFan, and heres the new usplash in jaunty > http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1237386187.png [07:00] ysis but run gksudo nvidia-settings to make some changes [07:00] DWSR, you dont need to see my path, this isnt a standard path problem [07:00] ysis, otherwise if you want to go the whole hog, make sure you backup your xorg.conf file, then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:00] DWSR, normally i would get that "hg" is not a valid command [07:00] Scooma: I did that before. Will try the reinstallation now and post the result. [07:00] !gnomescan [07:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomescan [07:01] hacker_kid: As you obviously know everything, why do you not fix the problem yourself? [07:01] lol [07:01] "hacker_kid" in a support channel [07:01] regardless. [07:01] humorous. [07:01] My boot of the Ubuntu install media has stalled. [07:01] Is there a way to see what it's stuck on? [07:01] melik, but no new gnome theme in alpha 6 install? [07:01] I have the splash screen enabled. [07:02] DWSR, all that is valid as far as the path goes is that "/usr/bin" and "~/opt/bin" are in the path, and have been working for ages [07:02] 'details'..? [07:02] i am getting to the point i am thinking about either reformatting and using xp again or just give up ever doing anything useful with ubuntu :/ [07:02] keal [07:02] bad idea [07:02] DWSR: remove the "quiet" with F6 [07:02] Ah, here we go. It failed. [07:02] LogicFan, im not sure; ive been using it since alpha 3 and been upgrading to bleeding edge everyday [07:02] upgrading packages* [07:02] syph why is it a bad idea? [07:02] ok [07:02] melik, upgrades going well? using a vm or for your everyday machine? [07:02] Keal_: whats is wrong? [07:02] thinking about trying alpha 6 in a vm just for kicks [07:02] syph, "hacker" in the original sense of the word meaning a programmer, not the insulting definition the media has provided you and the general public [07:03] get off my nut sack [07:03] Umm....well......I have a screenful of text that means nothing to me. [07:03] i haven't gotten a single thing in ubuntu to work the way i wish since last Saturday when i installed it [07:03] everyday machine, its really stable; although join #ubuntu+1 for jaunty discussion [07:03] DWSR there should be a [fail] on the right side [07:03] Nope. [07:03] thanks [07:03] heres what dmesg | tail says [07:03] http://pastie.org/420662 [07:03] It's just sitting here doing lots of mothing. [07:03] nothing, even. [07:03] Keal_: it takes more time then a week to fully utilize ubuntu's potential [07:03] Keal_: what sort of problems are you having? Is it possible they are all related to one cause? [07:03] Keal: what do you need help with? [07:04] hacker_kid, uhm the original sense is actually the latter one. if you make the artificial diffeerential between ethical hacking and unethical hacking, you aren't either [07:04] Scooma: Does the installer just...really..hang a lot? [07:04] i am having the trouble i can't get software to work reliably the instant i want install it [07:04] well, that will never happen with linux [07:04] but [07:04] LogicFan, i had some trouble with nvidia graphics and xorg, and some with alsa.. thats mostly it [07:04] The current line is [488.272405] ============ [07:04] but that was back in alpha 3 [07:04] the more you use it, the quicker you become installing everything [07:04] DWSR, installer? or your system? are you trying to install ubuntu? [07:04] also there is a sheer lack of non buzzword psychobabble documentation for a damn thing for ubuntu [07:04] Scooma: I'm booting into Live environment. I wanted to install. [07:04] Keal_: to receive any help you may have to be more specific. Or talk about one problem you are having. [07:04] i almost gave up linux because i couldn't figure out how to tar files, but once you figure it out, it's 2nd nature [07:05] gladiator postbin your sudo lsusb [07:05] histo i will make it simple, i can't get ubuntu to do a damn thing right [07:05] keal what do you want installed right now? [07:05] i hate compiling from source [07:05] meh [07:05] melik: I only compile from source. [07:05] same [07:05] melik, i love it when it works ;) [07:05] i want to stream soundcard capture to a remote shoutcast server that already exists [07:05] Which is why I like Gentoo more. [07:05] Keal_: Ices. [07:05] a specific shoutcast server [07:06] Scooma: its not responding [07:06] melik, alsa is the bane of my ubuntu experience :( [07:06] i can't use darkice [07:06] Keal_: Ices. [07:06] it won't install and doesn't run on amd64 anyways [07:06] Keal_: No one is going to be able to help you with a vague statement like that. Also have you checked for documentation built in to ubuntu and help.ubuntu.com. Google searches often turn up plenty of answers since the distro is so commonly used. [07:06] Keal_, then gcc and make [07:06] i prefer binaries; much easier [07:06] gladiator, something is wrong with your usb root hubs then? [07:06] Scooma: PM? [07:06] although compiling is sometimes fun :) [07:06] if you can't use what's packaged, you can always build it yourself [07:06] gladiator, did you update your bios? is this a new problem that just appeared? [07:06] fun to watch your intro to java teacher drop jaw at your screen. [07:07] DWSR, okay [07:07] haha yeah [07:07] lmao yeah [07:07] g4lt-lappy, i should just be able to find a single program that works, i have downloaded over 30 things and none of them work [07:07] my teacher freaked out the other day just because he saw me installing something [07:07] verbose code streaming the screen, he made me shut down my laptop it was wack [07:07] Scooma: I removed the driver with envyng, reinstalled via "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers", but I'm lacking OpenGL support. 'glxgears' gives me """Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual""" [07:07] Keal_, what were the "over 30 things", win32 binaries? [07:07] Keal_: are you installing applications from synaptic? [07:07] also most of the 30 things the documentation on the repository doesn't match the documentation for the program [07:08] yeah i was in my intro to computer science class (microsoft office and stuff, yeah shhhhhhhh its 5 units) [07:08] anyways, i was ssh'd to my home computer [07:08] scooma: theres nothing wrong with the usb hubs i suppose.. it was running fine yesterday.. [07:08] so i end up downloading and installing stuff that does something entirely different than my goal [07:08] typically if you want something in ubuntu_ you use sudo apt-get install , and that will pretty much always work [07:08] i didnt update my bios [07:08] and was just messing around, was on irssi and stuff [07:08] he got so scared haha [07:08] lol [07:08] it's weird how people get scared of something they know nothing about [07:08] just because it's not windows [07:09] Scooma: yes, it just appeared out of nowhere [07:09] syph, they get afraid at black screen with white text [07:09] gladiator, did you boot with usb drives attached? [07:09] haha indeed they do [07:09] Scooma: no. its a simple drive with some media on tit [07:09] it* [07:09] my onloy issue right now is synaptic's "fastest server" is hardy heron :( [07:09] i have ubuntu jaunty installed on my 8 gig flash drive; i sometimes boot into it from my school computers [07:10] its actually pretty nice [07:10] i want to go back to ubuntu completely [07:10] i just can't for some reason [07:10] what program do i use for ubuntu 8.10 amd64 in order to stream soundcard capture to an already existing server, i do not know what 'ices' is [07:10] hey how do you check resolution settings? [07:10] nvidia-settings [07:10] er [07:10] yea [07:10] gksudo nvidia-settings [07:10] does anyone know how to fix the flickering video with ATI cards and compiz enabled? i can see proper video when compiz is disabled. [07:10] Scooma: sudo lsusb gives this: http://pastie.org/420666 [07:11] Keal_: are you trying to stream to an icecast2 server? [07:11] why did my xconfig decide to screw up? [07:11] no to a shoutcast dnas [07:11] alright, i'm out, court in the morning, laters [07:11] hey guys what's the ubuntu equivqalent of winzip? [07:11] good luck syph [07:11] !compiz [07:11] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [07:11] rar [07:11] Keal_: the problem most likely is mp3 and aac support not being there in the debian version of the package. [07:11] i need to open a .zip archive, but i dont seem to have the program [07:11] thx [07:11] hello [07:11] how do i install it and what's it called? [07:12] Keal_: there are patent problems with mp3 [07:12] and good night [07:12] I need help [07:12] haha yeah, i'm pretty scured [07:12] laxmi_, just ask your question [07:12] banisterfiend, rar [07:12] whatcha do syph [07:12] banisterfiend, 7zip [07:12] any one can help me? [07:12] um [07:12] Keal_: so the solutions would be to build darkice yourself or use the medibuntu version. [07:12] sheesh syph how do u know all these things offhand [07:12] on probation for evading police [07:12] laxmi_, just ask your question. [07:12] reading.... [07:12] 7zip exists for windows too [07:12] apt-get install rar [07:12] Keal_: http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/darkice.html [07:12] spell what things, wretkjet? [07:12] Keal_, i mean the standard one that comes with ubuntu, the one with the graphicsl interface [07:12] then i was chased 3 weeks ago and totaled my car [07:12] what is medibuntu? [07:12] been skipping out on my Probation Officer [07:12] I could not compile srilm in Ubuntu 8.4 [07:12] likw howd u know the command for nvidia graphics [07:13] and havent paid my fines [07:13] language modeling toolkit [07:13] and why hasn't someone else already built the amd64 version? [07:13] apparently i have a warrant shit sucks [07:13] !medibuntu | Keal_ [07:13] ouch syph [07:13] Keal_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:13] yeah, lol [07:13] it's whatever [07:13] Keal_: its already built in medibuntu. [07:13] i just hope they give me a computer in jail [07:13] /usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h:42: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘unsigned’ [07:13] /usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h:48: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘unsigned’ [07:13] /usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h:54: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘unsigned’ [07:13] make[2]: *** [../obj/i686/Debug.o] Error 1 [07:13] make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/laxmi/srilm/misc/src' [07:13] laxmi_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:13] make[1]: *** [release-libraries] Error 1 [07:13] laxmi_, do NOT do that [07:13] wrektkjet: i use my computer often lol [07:13] !ot | syph [07:13] syph: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:14] so what to do? [07:14] laxmi_, have you checked the repositories? [07:14] yes [07:14] couldn't find it? [07:14] Keal_: thats the one thing that is really annoying right now about linux is the whole free vs. nonfree and codec issues. === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [07:14] I gcc newest version [07:14] pastebin your error [07:14] keal: do you have all your audio codecs installed? [07:14] but fail to compile [07:15] laxmi_, pastebin ur error [07:15] syph: its an issue with the debian version of the package not being built with mp3 support. [07:15] i made the silly mistake of deleting the program that can open compressed archives, like .zip and .tar.gz files etc in the gnome gui.....what do i install again to get that program back? [07:15] histo, yeah, for new users especially. however, the problem is really one of legal issue, not linux [07:15] dun dun dun, well i'm out on that one, no experience [07:15] i just want the normal one, nothing 'fancy' plz :D i just want back whatever i stupidly uninstalled [07:15] banisterfiend: Try 7zip [07:15] tar -zxvf to untar files [07:15] Scooma: any clue? [07:15] Does anyone know of a good site/post detailing how to easily setup from an empty HDD, dual boot of XP/Ubuntu? [07:15] LogicFan: yeah but it breeds issues like keal is experiencing, and I once went through. [07:16] well .tar.gz files anyway [07:16] ysis: i already tried apt-get install 7zip with no success [07:16] syph, i mean in the gui [07:16] LogicFan: Keal_ its a huge learning hurdle when you first start out. That there are all thses legal concerns over something as trivial as mp3 [07:16] syph, i can do it from console no problem, but i want the gui app that can do that [07:16] banisterfiend: What do you mean by "no success"? Failed installing? [07:16] Already pasted pestbin [07:16] Niphyr: install xp first, install ubuntu second, and you're done [07:16] banisterfiend: just learn it in terminal, it's a lot quicker [07:16] histo, until patent/ip/copyright law changes, its a tough one to tackle, i sympathize [07:16] ysis: it coudln't find the package [07:16] ah, well, okay [07:16] gladiator, can you pop the device back into another machine? from there, unmount it properly [07:16] banisterfiend: sudo apt-get install file-roller [07:16] Niphyr: make sure you partition correctly! [07:17] Niphyr: (for more speed, only put XP on one partition to start with, although ubuntu can resize if needed) [07:17] okay, i'm out for real this time, laters [07:17] ubuntu's installer will auto-partition correctly if you install XP first [07:17] I plan on hopefully only using Xp when I can't figure something out on ubuntu [07:17] banisterfiend: p7zip-full [07:17] or you could try using a virtual machine with XP so you don't have to reboot :) [07:18] yeah, that's what i do :P [07:18] That's not a bad idea. I have plenty of Xp machines around anyway so might just try straight ubuntu [07:18] can't stand rebooting [07:18] tanks guys [07:18] nice help :) [07:18] virtualbox works great with XP [07:18] W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [07:18] !medibuntu [07:18] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:18] or, if you're inclined, vmware workstation is a bit faster and more optimized than virtualbox [07:19] Keal_: ^ [07:19] Now, I have googled a bit and I don't want to start any wars in here.. but KDE or GNOME for a first time user? Or are they that similar it doesn't matter.. [07:19] yeah, never had any problems with it. if you install the guest additions as well, virtual box handles xp pretty much seamlessly [07:19] Keal_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [07:19] Literally the second link on the page. [07:19] Read it and follow. [07:19] i already followed the directions on medibuntu.org [07:19] Niphyr, default ubuntu is gnome. i'd stick with that [07:19] No you didn't. [07:19] Easy fixed, cheers. [07:19] Keal_: Its warning you because you don't have the gpg key installed for that repository. [07:19] I can tell you that they most certainly include installing a PGP key. [07:19] Niphyr: Use Gnome, KDE is sort of a mess right now [07:20] you started messing around with medibuntu without reading the documentation, including how to get the signing keys? [07:20] And I find them quite similar [07:20] Keal_: basicaly to prevent installing from an unknown source. [07:20] Niphyr: entirely personal choice. I use gnome now, but i switch back and forth. gnome is better documented for ubuntu though from what i've seen [07:20] ok i did it again and it worked this time [07:20] *sigh*. [07:20] hi melik [07:20] Alright, thanks. [07:20] g4lt-lappy, follow the directions on mediabuntu site, they are fairly straight-forward [07:20] LogicFan, try pointing that thing at Keal_ [07:20] Well I'm off to go play, i'm sure I'll be back :p [07:20] Niphyr: You can change later if you change your mind or use both parallel [07:20] ;D [07:21] before i ask is there anyone awake in here [07:21] having some issue with XawTV [07:21] SlimeyPete, nope [07:21] slimjim, ^^^ [07:21] gladiator, at worst follow http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-898939.html [07:21] go to mediabuntu site, copy/paste repos into synaptic, copy/paste key and add to synaptic, reload synaptic, search for the packages you want, click apply and install :) [07:21] I know this is ubuntu but I am runing dreamlinux 3.5 ati radeon all in wonder tv card. i got pic but no sound [07:21] Keal_: you would have to accept that its being installed from an untrusted source if you don't want to install the key. [07:22] slimjim: you may want to ask the dream linux people or in #linuxhelp [07:22] hi all i am trying to configure my fax from the internal modem i am using efax. as of now every thing is working fine but i want to send group faxes at a time which is not possible in efax for that i installed gfax which has group fax option but when i am trying to save any fax number in the phone book they are not getting saved. can any one help me on saving the phone numbers in the phonebook? [07:22] ok thank you === slimjimflim is now known as slimjim_sleepin [07:24] ok i went to that channel but no one is talking in there [07:24] all i really need is help with MAKEDEV [07:25] http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-desktop-x-windows/1265-xawtv-tv-my-linux-pc-picture-but-no-sound.html === gzus is now known as yo [07:25] found that but can not qute make out sme of the steps === yo is now known as yuck [07:26] there is no 'show medibuntu' in add/remove [07:26] How can I disable the LiveCD from trying to load FUSE? [07:27] i don't understand why i was told to add the medibuntu repository [07:28] there still is no darkice in the repository [07:28] How can I disable the LiveCD from trying to load FUSE? [07:29] because medibuntu/ubuntu studio is probably the best plavce you can look for any audio/video authoring,streaming solution [07:29] but hey, you'd know that if you READ THE DOCS [07:29] i don't think any of you have any idea what you are talking about [07:30] wooo gnome 2.26, i hope the packages become available for 8.10 64bit shortly :) [07:30] Keal_, I'd say they did, if onluy bhecause they read the docs [07:30] g4lt-lappy, what docs? how am i suposed to read docs i don't know about [07:31] you just blindly download stuff without reading the site? [07:32] * g4lt-lappy wonders where that ubuintusatanic url is [07:32] hi [07:32] i read the netire medibuntu and darkice page [07:32] someone can give me some help with bash scripting [07:32] g4lt can you point me in the right diretin on getting help with my tv tuner card [07:32] neither mentines a amd64 version existing [07:32] its a little problem [07:33] g4lt-lappy: ubuntusatanic.org [07:33] is there a way to send a single fax to multiple numbers at a time? i am not able to work out on it with either gfax or efax-gtk [07:33] Keal_, if you're into downloading stuff without readiong=, try ubuntusatanic.org [07:33] autocreate_split_windows = ON === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:34] i read the entire medibuntu page and i still don't understand why i did the terminal commands you told me to do [07:34] Keal_: http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/darkice.html [07:35] xterm-color [07:35] NOTE: The Debian version of DarkIce is only compiled with Ogg Vorbis support due to patent reasons and will therefore only work with IceCast2 servers! [07:35] does that mean darkice won't be able to do what i want it to anyways? [07:36] until you instgall the fluendo codec pack, yes [07:37] this is getting very seemingly stupid very fast [07:37] but hey, at least you have an idea what your problem is now, thanks to the docs, and it's pretty easily solved, look for fluendo [07:38] Keal_: the very next sentence says that this version is compiled with mp3 and aac support, this is the medibuntu version, not the debian/ubuntu version [07:38] mp3 support is kinda bad, because of the fraunhofer patents, fluendo has a fraunhofer license and can distribute mp3 codecs [07:38] that's the whole point of medibuntu [07:39] jtaji, I still thought you had to install fluendo codecs [07:39] i need help with Xawtv and dreamlinux, ATI Radeon All In Wonder AGP card got video but no sound. Anyone have any idea's === giuseppe is now known as Guest92896 [07:40] slimjim, do you have any sound at all, and is your soundcard attached to your AIW? [07:40] g4lt-lappy: only if your lawyer tells you you can't use lame as an mp3 encoder I guess :p [07:41] http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/fluendo.html "404 Not Found" [07:41] i have sound yes everywhere else with dvd play back and mp3 [07:41] AIW what is that. you mean the tv tuner part of the card I do not see anyware or anything that needs to be attached to eachother [07:41] dont have the books either this is a free pc [07:41] jtaji, [07:43] Keal_: I didn't say anything about fluendo [07:43] g4lt-lappy, i have an ATI not AIW is that bad :S [07:43] slimjim, uhm the AIW doesn't have a sound chip, so you prolly need to run a wire from the AIW to the soundcard or make sure your tv app can handlle dumping output to the AKSA/OSS driver [07:43] AIW is short for all-in-wonder [07:43] Keal_, not talking to you on this part [07:44] g4lt-lappy, you were helping two different people for similar problems, " Keal_ " and " slimjim " [07:44] not similar at all. his is pretty much a hardware issue [07:44] yours is a wetware one [07:44] mine is hardware issue too somewhat, so i got confused who is talking to who [07:45] ok...g4lt is there anyway to see if the AIW can handle dumping sound. i will google th other issue and see if there is a way to connect it to the sound card witch is a soundblaster live 16 i belive [07:45] do i need fluendo or not? [07:45] no, mp3 playback is entirely wetware, and I'd like to flay the fraunhofer lawyers to prove it [07:46] Keal_, let me introduce you to a neat commandline thing caled "apt-cache search" do one for fuledo and surprisingly you'll have a lot of packages [07:46] will medibuntu darkice amd64 work without fluendo? i can't find docs on this [07:47] ..or alternatively where are the docs saying it comes with fluendo [07:47] 'well, it might, especially if jtaji is right, I just always go with fluendo to make sure [07:47] how do i start a live cd on a system with bad ram (ie, a BadRAM kernel) [07:47] i don't know how to install fluendo :< [07:47] ----> http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/fluendo.html [07:47] says 404 not found [07:48] again, try apt-cache search fluendo [07:48] Keal_: fluendo is something you buy from a company, it's certainly not in the medibuntu repo [07:48] gartral: Are you looking for memtest?

I checked this out on a live linux once, it's reeeaaallly great. but what about mplayer? i thought this is a good one too. I don't like totem i have to say [08:42] mplayer is bare-bones, basically [08:42] not a great media manager [08:42] well. I don't need a media manager just for playing my movies hellmitre [08:42] anyone using leadtek pci-e TV tuner under *nix? [08:42] hellmitre: ahh, those are for windows that don't natively support tabs, try and open two evolution instances and try grouping them :) [08:43] danielito: mpayer takes LOOAAADDSS of preliminary setup to get playing anything [08:43] now capslock is permanently turned off >:/ [08:44] i guess That is better than nothing . :< [08:44] danielito: mplayer is choice if you want player wich plays anything, but you dont care that much GUIs, i find mplayer best because it has easy keybindings [08:44] !orca [08:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about orca [08:44] !leadtek [08:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about leadtek [08:44] gartral: mplayer setup is easy and fast with medibuntu's packages [08:45] doleyb: for migrating windows users? [08:45] i hit disable sticky keys when two keys held together and pressed shift+capslock now capslock is permanently turned off >:/ [08:45] Keal_: alt-caps lock, i beleive, or ctrl-caps... [08:46] simplexio: indeed I don't need a gui at all, my gui for browsing my moviez is nautilus [08:46] didn't do anythign >:/ [08:46] simplexio: but isn't the development of mplayer still alive? [08:46] hello how do i ssh to another machine, which program shall i install? [08:46] gartral: Yes, it's not any harder than any other player to setup [08:46] ubd: what operating system is that machine running? === osfamero1 is now known as osfameron [08:47] udb: ubuntu already has ssh with it, type ssh [08:47] if it's running any flavor of linux, installing the openssh-server should do it [08:47] i have installed ubuntu using preseed (on PXE) but it installed me a system with arabic keyboard by default, how to change that ? [08:48] doleyb: see... mplayer just dies on me, no matter what i do too it, and it has so, accross all my computers, across all versions of linux, and it seems espetially unstable in ubuntu, ever since 6.06 [08:49] anybody klnow of a tv streamin program that would work on xubuntu on ps3? [08:49] I think development on mplayer in ubuntu stopped when other media players ended up better and with more features, gartral [08:49] but that's as far as I know [08:50] hellmitre: im not complaining, i ussually dump it as soo as i install ubuntu, for its lack of worth too me [08:50] anyone heard of firefox remapping mouse buttons sporadically on the fly? [08:50] gartral: that's pretty funny... what player do you use instead? [08:51] I use banshee, personally, though no one's asked me >_> [08:51] banshee for music, VLC for movies, mpd occasionally when I'm restarting X a lot [08:51] Does anyone know how I can save all my Ipod photos? [08:51] doleyb: vlc, wich works beautifully, on occasion ill use dragon... i havent tried banshee, though i installed it [08:52] I mean, I want to get them off of my Ipod and put them into my pictures folder. [08:52] banshee's the best media manager I've gotten my hands on so far [08:52] I tried songbird but that was way too resource-intensive [08:52] i use a combo on songbird and banshee [08:52] on=of [08:53] LogicFan: can you a bit more specific? [08:53] songbird doesn't handle photos. [08:53] PWilder, i haven't decided which i like better, so i use both [08:53] i like songbird's extension capabilities and web-functions, but banshee is much faster [08:53] LogicFan: i like songbird on windows, havent even thought to try the linux one yet, did they ever land gstreamer as there engine? [08:54] PWilder, why would it? its a music player [08:54] yes, gstreamer [08:54] can i install ubuntu 64 bits on Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 ? [08:54] maxagaz, yes [08:54] LogicFan: I need to export photos to my computer. Not music. [08:54] maxagaz: yes, i believe so [08:54] are pentium dual cores 64 bit processors? [08:54] I am using Gtkpod for that which i like better than those two progams. [08:54] can somebody please help me? i have 2 hard disk, the first one has ubuntu and vista, the second hard disk has xp; the problem is grub only detects the xp, how do configure grub to boot into vista? [08:54] maxagaz: dont sweat, if it wont load, it will tell you to go get a 32 bit disk [08:55] hellmitre, yes [08:55] huh [08:55] didn't know that :) [08:55] does anyone know how to Export photos from an Ipod? [08:55] I am using GPixPod, but it doesn't let me do a mass export. [08:55] PWilder: search ipod manager in the repos [08:55] I did, and nothing is close by GPixPod. [08:55] but* [08:55] I've heard of Hipo as being a decent iPod manager [08:56] Hipo is having problems recognizing my Ipod. [08:56] oh [08:56] does hipo manage other devices (sans, to be exact) [08:56] lameskates; sorry to hear that [08:56] gartral, does it mean that in the future, ubuntu 32 will become obsolete ? [08:56] s// sans sansa [08:56] maxagaz, as more and more processors become 64 bit machines, eventually ubuntu 64 will become more used [08:56] maxagaz: 64bit is best for either 64bit or 32bit with m ore than 4gigs ram. [08:57] maxagaz: only if 32 bit procs are ever put out of production, but thats not even close too being a reality [08:57] but 32bit ubuntu oughtta run on 64 bit machines, too [08:57] hellmitre: It has serious compatibility problems on a 32bit system with less than 4 gigs ram. [08:57] really? [08:57] Yes. [08:58] ]/win 27 [08:58] oops [08:58] I've run ubuntu 64bit on several 32bit machines with no issues [08:58] Does anybody happen to know where in KDE4 I can set Firefox as default browser and not Konqueror? [08:58] i have to compile a kernel with debug option and install it on my ubuntu 8.04, i have tryed make -> make modules -> make install but it doesn't work.....anyone could help me????? [09:02] is there a terminal gui that renders the window(s) thats behind it instead of just the bg image? [09:02] gartral: Are you looking for true transparency? In that case I suggest compiz or some other compositing [09:03] what does mean "preseed on the kernel command line this: console-setup/layoutcode=us" ? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/328078) [09:03] how do i change the dhcp conf - gateway netmask etc? [09:03] dennda: i dont always use compiz, as i have many games... ide like a terminal that had true pransparency [09:04] danielito: far as i know [09:05] gartral: trans isnt done by the application itself...it always needs the X system to support it...at least for real trans [09:05] hmmm amarok lyric grabber, Astraweb or Lyrc, which is more accurate? [09:06] beli: konsole can, but its ugly-slow [09:07] i got linux on ps3 now, the flash or java wont work, tv streamin is hopeless. [09:07] yooooo how do ý change the network settýngs [09:08] upper right corner dude [09:08] from teminal? [09:08] gartral: console? or terminal? [09:08] ubd2 upper right corner, looks like two screens "blinking" [09:09] beli: Konsole... [09:09] !konsole [09:09] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [09:09] gartral: i am using ssh [09:09] gartral: it cannot...just fake trans....real trans is done by the X system [09:10] gartral: and yes, real trans is a resource eating monster :) [09:11] ubd2, try see this article http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html [09:12] why ubuntu 64 is called amd64 if it [09:12] why ubuntu 64 is called amd64 if it's also for intel with more than 4GB of ram ? === r00tlinuxusr is now known as r00tlinu [09:14] maxagaz: because it uses the "common" Athlon 64 bit structure, not the proprietary Itanium one [09:14] at least thats what inve been told [09:14] inve? [09:14] i've [09:14] maxagaz: amd674 is basiclly the name for x86_^4 [09:15] maxagaz: amd674 is basiclly the name for x86_64 [09:15] r00tlinu: yes, thankyou... [09:15] maxagaz: because AMD developed their 64-bit x86 architecture before Intel did, and the Intel one is compatible with the AMD one [09:15] is it possible to display a clock and a weather display on top of a photograph display in ubuntu, as a permanently running display? [09:15] * r00tlinu nods [09:15] so a lot of people refer to both architectures as "amd64" [09:16] erm, that was aimed at gartral ;) [09:16] hello, [09:16] SlimeyPete: yes, its compatible on a base level, but the itanium one has a few stability features the amd64 specs ignore [09:17] Hi guys, does the default ubuntu installation include tools to create a dial-up connection? [09:17] gartral: itanium isn't compatible at all. You mean EMT64. [09:18] it should. [09:18] Itanium != x86-64 :) [09:18] gartral: but yes, fair point [09:18] ahh yes, your useage of "is compatible" confused me [09:18] ah. [09:18] hi. anyone managed to get HDMI audio working on any version of ubuntu? [09:19] I am trying to mount a samba share from a server which is ISO8859 encoded on an ubuntu station UTF8 encoded. When I use mount.cifs, I get filenames not properly encoded but if I mount with nautilus (gvfs) it is ok. How can I have the same behaviour from commandline? [09:19] right now i have just ubuntu installed on my entire hard disk. how can i partition it, then install windows xp on the second partition but still have the grub bootloader intact and work for both linux and windows? [09:20] H3l1c0pt3r, it's probably better to partition it first [09:21] well i would have to partition it first to install another os... [09:21] then install windows then install ubuntu (so grub is the last boot manager to be installed to the MBR === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [09:21] i dont want to reinstall ubuntu, i have it installed already [09:21] I see [09:21] thats why im asking how i can do it the other way [09:21] regardless of it being more difficult [09:21] http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/misc/40234-install-windows-after-linux.html ?

[09:50] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/newvolume -o force [09:50] ok...sure [09:50] yes opened [09:50] now what [09:50] r00tlinu: same thing, ActionParsnip: uid=1000? didtn get you there [09:50] BABER: i'd try a few, see which support the service. [09:51] anyone tried the nslu2 version of ubuntu? [09:51] sachin_: try to start your desired application there. e.g. type 'firefox' [09:51] killahrs: yes, i know, im playing one, and ide like the output through the cdroms hardware, not my sound card... [09:51] gladiator: it allows users to write to the partition as ntfs permissions are retarded [09:51] what is the (if any) graphical p7zip cli name? [09:51] ActionParsnip: rapidshare [09:51] thats about what u get man. shit is old. [09:51] killahrs, watch the language [09:51] !ohmy killahrs [09:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about ohmy killahrs [09:52] haaga, what is that [09:52] !ohmy | killahrs [09:52] ok...let me explain my problem in detail....after booting my laptop...i need to login with different account to make my laptop work [09:52] killahrs: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [09:52] ActionParsnip: gives me the same thing [09:52] k [09:52] any good shell scripting irc channels? [09:52] <[1]CGA> Noone for a problem of charset ...? [09:52] lakitu: once you get 7zip install ok then file-roller will manage it ok. just use 7z x my7Zzipfile [09:52] sachin_: You use Intrepid with Gnome? [09:53] r00tlinu: try #bash [09:53] What do you mean by 'make it work', please be more specific. [09:53] join #rtorrent [09:54] dist blt for the linksys nslu2 [09:54] ActionParsnip, but file-roller isn't working, so i'm trying alt.s. is there a gui for p7zip? - or no [09:54] bazhang: dist built for the linksys nslu2 [09:54] gartral: you need to run a cd playing software and jam some phones n there, the little dial is for volume [09:54] haaga, official ubuntu or not [09:54] g [09:54] my screen is flickering like crazy! [09:54] what the heck? [09:54] i think its official [09:54] gh0st3r, try disabling compiz [09:54] haaga, link [09:55] hold on [09:55] lakitu: not that i know of, the cli is simple though. i thought file roller would manage it. ark does it so i figured fileroller would [09:55] ActionParsnip: .... i know i needed headphone, anvd ive tryed with vlc, sound juicer and exaile... [09:55] what do i put as 'mount point' in darksnow?? [09:55] ActionParsnip, it probably does, but i'm having trouble with a cat'ed .7z file, so i'm trying alternative methods [09:56] ActionParsnip: they all play through the soundcard, none through the cd drives device [09:56] bazhang: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/NSLU2 [09:56] lakitu: cat'd 7z files? [09:56] bazhang, nope still going like crazy :( [09:56] bazhang, other ideas? :S [09:56] ActionParsnip, a bunch of .001, .002, ... files that i cat'ed into one .7z file [09:56] haaga, did you have an issue installing it? [09:57] gh0st3r, sounds like driver issue [09:57] gartral: i thought audio played through, do you ave the cd audio cable connected from the soundcard direct to the driive? [09:57] bazhang, i have a 9800 and using nvidia-180. is that what could be causing it :S [09:57] gh0st3r, this is intrepid? [09:58] i got an idea. someone should make a linux/something for the otheros optionfor playstation in java or whatever with .mkv codecs flac so on. i mean. basicly just a linux lite lite. [09:58] bazhang, yea [09:58] whith which command can test md5 file? [09:58] ActionParsnip: i said it once CDS WORK! though the sound card, i want the output through the front port, on the cdrom... [09:58] jtaji, ActionParsnip, i'm trying another set now [09:58] BABER: md5sum [09:58] killahrs, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:58] !md5 [09:58] 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 [09:58] gh0st3r, doing a forums search [09:59] oh...' [09:59] can anyone tell me the best site to learn linux on is? [09:59] ok [09:59] ActionParsnip: and no, i removed the card that stopped working, the intergrated card doesnt have a place for an audio connector [09:59] gartral: i think you need the cable from sound card to the drive to route the audio back. kill the caps. i can read lower case [09:59] bazhang, thanks :) [09:59] can anyone tell me the best site to learn linux on is? [09:59] kelli: Just use it. ;-) [09:59] kelli, start with the ubuntu help docs [09:59] kelli: www.ask.com www.google.com www.ubuntuforums.com [09:59] kelli: And google your problems. [10:00] kelli, ubuntu or linux in general [10:00] ActionParsnip: i didn't relise the caps was on, im sorry [10:00] !rute | kelli [10:00] kelli: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [10:00] linux [10:00] ActionParsnip: and no, the cable didnt help when i had it attached either [10:00] kelli, there is also a free ubuntu guide (pdf) you can download [10:00] gartral: there is a 4 pin connector that connects to the soundcard to the back of the cd drive, i think that gives the audio there [10:01] gartral, the cable has got to be connected .. [10:01] ActionParsnip: Under hardware drivers, it says i need to restart to activate the nVidia driver... but if I do that the whole system reverts to defaults (Live CD) [10:01] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html kelli [10:01] ActionParsnip: with or without, it didnt matter, im not dumb... [10:01] bazhang, thanks [10:01] I tried sudo apt-get clean and install. clean returned nothing, install returned all 0 [10:02] clean doesn't ever return anything [10:02] Niphyr: sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:02] Niphyr: try sudo killall gdm, and restart gdm with sudo gdm after you've installed the drivers [10:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia recommended, and not: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual gh0st3r [10:03] ActionParsnip: and as i said, the intergrated card doesn't have a space for said hardware audio transpoert [10:03] PROTOP, use pkill vice killall if you don't want to ruin your sysV finger-memory [10:03] gh0st3r, seems some have probs with the 80 and that card, may have been solved according to forums link (with above links) [10:03] PROTIP even [10:03] s// transpert/transport [10:03] killall has a bit different meaning on AT&T unixes [10:03] ActionParsnip: Both were all 0... trying gartrals suggestion now... [10:03] ??? 4. profit? [10:04] g4lt-lappy: finger-memory being? [10:04] >.< i cant even spell my mispellings correctly [10:04] gartral: apparently it only works if you dont use DAE [10:04] how do i use that? [10:04] gartral: not sure what that is though [10:04] i must say, i've been using windows for the last few months, & it's nice to be back in linux/ubuntu [10:04] cast, eventually if you type in something enough, it becomes automatic and you sometimes just type in a word without thinking [10:04] Direct Audio Engine, i believe [10:04] gartral: from a forum: If possible, try plugging a set of headphones into the front of the CD drive and see if that produces output. I'm pretty sure that the headphone jack on the front of the drive only works when a CD is being played normally and not in DAE mode. It should at least prove/disprove if normal CD audio is working at the drive level. [10:05] g4lt-lappy: ok, and? [10:05] g4lt-lappy: ah, i see. that tip was a waste of bytes. [10:05] cast really, do a killall on HP-SUX [10:05] gartral: sudo killall gdm; froze the system then ~30 seconds after the machine rebooted on me.. back at square one again [10:06] ActionParsnip: really... take a sec and think here, would i have asked if it worked? i tryed that, and i tryed pulling the jack from the back (hardware supports intelligent jacks) [10:06] g4lt-lappy: really, why would i use that? ;) [10:06] bazhang thanks :) [10:06] Niphyr: then the only way is too install ubuntu... [10:06] gartral: well, take a sec yourself..are you using DAE? [10:06] Niphyr, have you tried /etc/init.d/gdm stop? [10:06] ActionParsnip: i dont know how to use it [10:07] g4lt-lappy: no, I haven't. [10:07] change the jack setting in qjackctl? [10:07] cast you'll only do it once [10:07] gartral: thats why i pasted the info...try loosing the attitude and read [10:07] Niphyr, then don't kill gdm, use the f00kin initscript. whoever told you to kill it was a fool [10:07] gartral: find out what iDAE is then find out if you are using it, if you are, thats why its not working [10:07] hi there, anyone know how to ping a ip range on a local network, ie .2 - .200 for example? [10:07] !iDAE [10:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about iDAE [10:08] g4lt-lappy: Do you understand what i am trying to do? [10:08] AdvoWork: could write a script [10:08] gartral: I was hoping to test video performance and WINE before installing ubuntu... was hoping I could at least check the drivers on the LiveCD [10:08] AdvoWork: http://www.itserviceworks.com/ping-an-ip-address-range/ [10:09] AdvoWork: nmap is good enough at scanning ip ranges [10:10] Niphyr: hmm.... im not sure how to install the drivers from a live cd [10:10] Can I install ubuntu on the same partition as vista? [10:10] ActionParsnip: 4 pages into google searc retrieve a bunch of smeg about some financial firm... [10:11] Niphyr: no, need to set up a different partition [10:11] hi. i want to have my sd card mount without the nodev options (so i can put my pbuilder cache on there), i have tried an fstab entry, but then my user doesn't have rights to mount as usual when the card is inserted. is there another way/option i can use? [10:11] dronix: ok, ty :( [10:11] gartral: search different or use a different search engine [10:11] !wubi | Niphyr [10:11] Niphyr: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [10:11] Niphyr: sure, but it's liable to be painful [10:11] mcnicholls: in fstab add option user [10:12] bazhang, read that... i have no idea whats wrong :-S [10:12] ActionParsnip: you know how to figure out if im using it or not? [10:12] hii [10:12] ysis: I wanted to run ubuntu by itself as an eventual replacement for vista, not along side it. Thankyou though [10:12] hunh, jtaji ActionParsnip, it *was* the file set. another set cat'd & un-archived fine [10:12] germany?? [10:12] simplexio: oh yeah, i have used user before. think it was because of the hald automounting that i didn;t think about it. i presume it will still automount through hal with those options? [10:13] nutzer: #ubuntu-de [10:13] gartral: looks like some cd paranoia thing [10:13] mcnicholls: noauto .. i think [10:13] Niphyr: Just make a partition for ubuntu then. [10:14] i am from germany. [10:14] * XxGoldxX says hello room [10:14] a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas? [10:14] nutzer: Wenn du deutsch sprechen willst, dann geh in den Raum #ubuntu-de. [10:15] simplexio: ok think i should be able to get it sorted from there. thanks for the help [10:15] ysis: Attempting it again now :) Last time I tried to shrink the vista partition I got no end of file errors [10:15] * XxGoldxX has a question for someone familiar with raid 5 in ubuntu server 8.04 [10:15] !raid [10:15] raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [10:15] Niphyr: Do you have a way to backup your partition? [10:16] XxGoldxX: i have one [10:16] Niphyr: I never had success with resizing windows partitions... [10:16] Niphyr: just plan the partitions and you dont have to resie, leave unpartitioned space and linux will offer to use it [10:16] simplexio: ok i have a raid 5 on my ubuntu server 8.04 with 3 drives can i add 2 more drives withour rebuilding [10:17] Niphyr: if you can get your hands on it, norton partition magic 8 works wonders on windows partitions [10:17] jaunty jackalope alpha 6 isn't buggy-swear [10:17] XxGoldxX: probably not. but google. i have only made "ready" raid systems [10:17] hey all. pretty disappointed in Ubuntu 8.10. all my nfs shares are not able to mount at boot time. Does anyone know a work around for this? It can't be a crude hack though because one of my nfs shares is where all my ldap user homes is located and this share has to be totally correct at boot [10:17] bazhang, help?!? === Nicke_ is now known as Nicke [10:18] Simplexio: i have googled but only get info on windows based arrays which doesnt help and ubuntu forumns only talk about installing raid software [10:18] XxGoldxX: not with raid 5, i forget why, i think its cause the striping sequence expect 3, and will see 5 [10:18] qtparted instead of part magic? [10:18] Niphyr: You can also try the gparted live cd [10:18] Worked very well for me [10:19] eanda-sbs: you may need a script to test if your network devices have come up to mount them, or have the command: sudo mount -a run when you log in (assuming you added the mountings to /etc/fstab) [10:19] gartral: even if it is a software based array [10:19] now what can i use as a voice simulator for reading text? [10:19] ActionParsnip, you help a lot =) i'm not in #here often, but you're always helping. that's awesome =D [10:19] kelli: espeak is ok [10:19] im getting flickering on 8.10, on a second monitor, i have a 9800gt and i installed the drivers by doing a "apt-get install nvidia-glx-180" [10:19] XxGoldxX: http://scotgate.org/2006/07/03/growing-a-raid5-array-mdadm/ [10:19] gartral: i thought one of the advantages with raid 5 was the ability to expand [10:20] XxGoldxX: it would require reloading everything and re striping it, unless you have a verryyy good software raid controller, i think its impossible [10:20] lakitu: i like to give to the community as the community gives to me [10:20] now what can i use as a voice simulator for reading text? [10:20] but i dont mess with raids oftem, i cant be sure [10:20] kelli: sudo apt-get install espeak [10:21] a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas?

Version 1.39-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 68 kB, installed size 244 kB [10:21] kelli: yes, espeak is multi platform [10:21] XxGoldxX: try google madadm raid ... im sure that if you first build raid5 array like from 3 and define then that array uses 4 disk you can add one later. but not sure if you can add disk if you didnt build it that way [10:21] thanks [10:21] ActionParsnip: Yes I know I can run mount -a as root and get all my shares mounted from /etc/fstab. I have done that and it works successfully. My problem is on every reboot that has to be done and I'm not always present. and I'm not going to give away the su/root password so I can walk a user through that mounting process [10:22] eanda-sbs: you dont have a root pass (well, shouldnt unless you want a significantly less secure OS) [10:23] eanda-sbs: then add a sudoers entry for them? [10:23] eanda-sbs: you could add the script to the last boot level so you know the network is up [10:23] !bum [10:23] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [10:23] simplexio: ok looks like it possible to a degree but it doesnt tell me whether or not it supports all array hardware [10:23] hi everybody. i've a problem with pure-ftpd-mysql. allthough i defined "MYSQLUser", it tries to connect as root to the mysql server. does anyone have an idea? [10:23] This is such a basic function of linux, I fail to understand how Ubuntu could have possibly missed this during their release testing.. [10:23] eanda-sbs: add the "auto" option into their fstab entries. [10:23] * XxGoldxX is very thankful for all help with his issue so far [10:23] eanda-sbs: that means they're mounted on boot. [10:24] Chousuke: they are network resources and fstab runs before the network comes up, so the mount fails [10:24] ActionParsnip: hmm [10:25] Chousuke: Ok . maybe you hit on the right fix, because I don't have the auto variable on any network nfs share in etc/fstab [10:25] how can understand one package is installed or not? [10:25] eanda-sbs: well you could add a "username ALL=/sbin/mount -a" to sudoers [10:25] eanda-sbs: sudo apt-get install bum [10:26] hello all. Anyone knows a possible reason not to create /dev/fd0? Mine is not there... [10:26] eanda-sbs: that'd allow them to just run mount -a as root [10:26] ActionParsnip: what is bum? === nick is now known as Guest47984 [10:26] eanda-sbs: you can add a script to run the mount -a command afer the network is up [10:26] !info bum [10:26] bum (source: bum): graphical runlevel editor.

[10:27] ok thanks I'll take a look [10:27] I can only see /dev/fd/0 not /dev/fd0 [10:27] eanda-sbs: its a bit hacky but fstab needs running first to mount partitions so the boot can complete and network drivers can load, but it will fail as the network is down so NFS partitions fails [10:27] 0 [10:28] eanda-sbs: the mount -a should be added to the last run level as you say, i'd log a bug for deffo [10:28] I can only see /dev/fd/0 not /dev/fd0. on my fstab I'ts referencing /dev/fd0... but's not there... Anyone can help? what should I look on dmesg? floppy is functional under windows... [10:29] a bunch of profiles in sound juicer say there active, but arnt shown, any ideas? [10:30] ActionParsnip: So what I should do then is list my nfs shares in fastab as noaouto then create a script in /etc/rc.d to mount the nfs shares later in the boot process. [10:30] Need help with Ipod Video Management [10:30] sudo modprobe floppy [10:30] damn [10:30] that solved [10:30] thanks for nothing [10:30] AltoBurgo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:30] eanda-sbs: i'd add them as auto, then create a small script to run sudo mount -a [10:31] eanda-sbs: then add it to the bootup [10:32] gartral, how do i start espeak? [10:33] Hi everyone ;-) [10:33] ActionParsnip: Ok I can do that. question though. If I complete that what will be the mount status of the nfs shares at the GDM login screen on a reboot? My concern is that my one nfs share has to be mounted because it is the ldaphome directory for all users. If it isn't available then the user cannot log in [10:33] Needs small feedback [10:33] does anyone onws an msi wind u100 netbook?

[10:38] hi to all [10:39] how can i stop the rescure X fix from work? i mean if i install a new kernel and have the nvidia driver loaded the next rebbot this "fix" stops me from installing my driver again because xerver is running [10:39] thanks for help [10:40] manuel_: I think just running sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop should kill X completely. [10:41] I changed my vlc skin. Today I downloaded another skin and tried to use that but vlc denies to change skin even to default, I removed vlc by apt-get remove vlc, and then install it but it still have that old theme which over time has started to feel stupid.

[10:50] but i downloaded the AMD 64 version [10:50] It should work [10:50] i've tried both hardy and jaunty, both have the same results. i can play a music file in totem but the same music file won't work in vlc. [10:51] ocol your hitting a thermal barrier, its a hardware issue, my laptops shutdown "randomly" when there too hot, i see it all the time [10:51] Oh [10:51] I get it [10:51] This is a laptop too [10:51] When it cools down, it works fine [10:51] That's why it shut downs in series. [10:51] But hey [10:51] ocol: the only way to "fix" it is to swap the offending procs out with new ones [10:51] Oh my god [10:51] O.o [10:51] Now i get it [10:52] !enter | ocol [10:52] ocol: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:52] expensive, but it avoids data corruption [10:52] I was switching for ubuntu because I've noted that my computer is very slow [10:52] And it should work smoothly with vista as I have 2,0 ghz processor and 3 gb of RAM memory, but I think my processor is jammed. [10:52] So basicly I can't install ubuntu? [10:53] ocol: I think you're mistaken [10:53] ocol: again, you have a semi-defective proc, if its new, contact amd or your OEM and explain the situation, they might send you a new proc, they did once for me after said issue destroyed a hardrive [10:53] ocol: that processor is more than capable [10:53] This is a laptop. [10:54] ocol: that dosn't change what I said [10:54] ocol: but as far as running ubuntu, it will word just fine [10:54] work* [10:54] Ikonia: Please read the issue I noted previously :) [10:54] Gartral: I'm running vista [10:54] Hi all , i installed limewire via deb file and now im unable to uninstall it . can some help? [10:54] i did something, and now my numeric keypad is moving the mouse instead of typing numbers? [10:54] And the problem is that I can't install ubuntu at all. [10:55] When installing it, the computer starts to shut down immedietely. It never does it in any other case. [10:55] ocol: like i said, the proc issue wont hurt ubuntu, but i recomend you stay far away from compize until you get a good proc, compize eats mine alive [10:55] ocol: does it power off ? [10:55] Yup [10:55] RanyAlbeg: You should be able to find and remove it with Synaptic. [10:55] ocol: then it sounds like a heat alarm is shutting it down [10:56] ocol, have you tried the alternate install cd? [10:56] ysis: No , i cant [10:56] ocol, power off as in hard shutdown? or power off as in just shut down normally. [10:56] hia [10:56] Power of as in hard shutdown [10:56] ysis:Searching in synaptic gave no results [10:56] It closes immedietely [10:56] ikonia: hes having issues with a proc thats heat sensor is bad, he needs to replace it before he can run truly stable [10:56] Like when the processor gets over heated [10:56] gartral: I missed that - thanks [10:56] ocol: ok - so you need to talk to your hardware provider to get that hardware fixed [10:57] ocol, ikonia, gartral, shut down the cool'n quiet in the bios and let the fan run at full speed to test? [10:57] RanyAlbeg do you still have the .deb file? [10:57] ysis: : no :\ [10:57] s3r3n1t7: and let it do potential damage ? no [10:57] I don't get it why it doesn't shut down never with Vista? [10:57] I've been working with Vista for years. It's a bit slow some times, but it doesn't shut down [10:57] ocol: it may not get stretched that hot [10:57] Hi, how can I grep a file to show text only after 50 characters [10:57] Even when playing games etc. [10:58] iknoia i have the same issue, ocol, try hitting F6 twice before you install, and selecting APIC=off and try thun, but i warn you, feel your system once in a while too make sure you not running hot, or you WILL destroy your system [10:58] ocol: it may be a bug with the ubuntu power managment schema [10:58] gartral: that is why I'm not suggesting he do it [10:58] nmaddy, characan I grep a file to show text only after 50 characters [10:58] no thanks [10:58] I [10:58] ikonia, a fan running at full speed will not cause damage. Cool 'n quiet only disables the powering down of the fan speed. [10:58] RanyAlbeg: Can you download it again? Then just double-click on it. This should give you a popup where you can hit a deinstallation button. [10:58] nmaddy, characters or lines? [10:58] ikonia: yea, i made that mistake once... [10:58] s3r3n1t7: then it shouldn't be hitting a themal alarm and powering off [10:59] characters [10:59] form every line [10:59] Theres no alarm [10:59] from* [10:59] It just shut down [10:59] ysis:i'll search for it again [10:59] ysis:also tried to dkpg -r limewire [10:59] I don't think they would change my hardwire at Acer Support as it's not basicly broken. [10:59] hardware* [10:59] ocol: yea, dont let the proc aproach 90 degrees celcius, thats the magic number of doom [10:59] ysis: i'llgo find it. [10:59] RanyAlbeg: I could always deinstall via Synaptic when I installed with this debi package manager thingy. [11:00] ikonia, aye, but i've noticed on my laptop that the thermal scheme is loaded very late and it can trigger the thermal alarm before being properly initialized by the kernel. I need to disable it or my laptop will just shut down after powering up. [11:00] ocol: technically it is defective though, they might replace it [11:00] Yeh.. that would take ages, ever tried Acers guarantee? :D [11:00] s3r3n1t7: I won't be advising him to do that - so it's your call [11:00] I can't change my vlc skin :( [11:00] Took me 3 monthes once [11:01] umm.. [11:01] should have gone with macbook, atleast they deal their support fastly [11:01] paul_fox: can that be done with grep anyway? [11:01] yea, most corps REM programs are tidiously long [11:01] ocol, i know, i got an acer myself. They always run very hot, has been that way on every acer i've had my hands on. [11:02] Yep [11:02] Sometimes it hurts when writing [11:02] ikonia, acers always run extremely hot compared to other laptops and other OS's on the same laptop. [11:02] s3r3n1t7: that doesn't change my stance [11:02] ocol, clock down your cpu. Works magic for me. [11:02] ocol: oh boy, double wami... [11:02] I thought changing the OS could help with the processor [11:02] As ubuntu isn't so hard to run as vista [11:03] but obviously I can't install it [11:03] ocol: i hate saying this, but windows 7 solved many thermal issues with the beta... [11:03] ysis: Ok found it , 80%.... [11:03] Never tried windows 7 [11:03] !ot [11:03] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[11:03] But I'm bit tired with laptops [11:04] please take windows chat elsewhere [11:04] Buy one, 3 monthes and it's old [11:04] RanyAlbeg: Is it working? [11:04] ocol: i found it... pleasent, actually, other than it wouldnt run anything unless you gave it admin privledges... [11:04] ikonia, i understand. Don't expect you to change either. There is however a huge temperature between windows and ubuntu. Also, my thoughts can't be done, acer doesn't have these options in the BIOS. [11:05] hi. i'm having a lot of difficulty getting a belkin wirewless g+ mimo usb adapter (f5d9050) to work with ubuntu (hardy). i have followed the instructions given here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236, but after step 13, ifconfig -a, wlan0 doesn't show up, only lo and eth0. can anyone help? [11:05] I could check how's my thermo actually in normal run [11:05] Maybe I could cool it down to install ubuntu? [11:05] ocol, how long does it take for yours to shut down? [11:05] A second [11:05] Oh [11:05] It goes to the installation part [11:05] and says Installing [11:06] and like 30 seconds to a minute and it closes [11:06] ocol, a nice cooling tray works, go by your local InkStop and ask them the their three fan tray, they'll set you up [11:06] ikonia, your opinion please, would it be possible to set the CPU speed slower to lower the heat? [11:06] yeh.. for laptop, sure.. [11:06] ysis: when i open the deb i can only see Reinstall Package [11:07] s3r3n1t7: if your BIOS supports it, its a great idea, if not, your risking a total system loss, i did it to my gaming machine and i couldn't boot it again, i have to pull the proc and let it bleed-reset before it would work again [11:08] it's really a bit funny that I can't watch even a full screen divx with out the processor bugging around [11:08] Oh my [11:08] is there an app/game that really shows off good graphics cards? [11:08] ocol: yea intel hardware is alot more stable [11:08] My processor is '91 in normal use. [11:09] oops.. [11:09] gartral, i'm talking about software wise. sudo cpufreq-selector should be able to do it. [11:09] RanyAlbeg: Sorry, I was mistaken. Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474610 [11:09] Shouldn't it burn as it's 91? [11:09] s3r3n1t7: ahh, software side, yea [11:09] But you need to know the package name. [11:09] Hi, I've copied a VMware virtual machine from Windows, and loaded VM in VMware Player. When I try to start the VM, it says VMDK file is not found. But the VMDK file is THERE. What should I do... somebody help. [11:09] ocol: no. It seems that your problem is now hardware related and isn't actually Ubuntu support issue anymore [11:10] ysis: the name of the package is limewire-basic , so i can apt-get remove it no? [11:10] ocol, uhm yeah, your sensor is prolly broken and thus that reading isn't safe to assume to be correct. [11:10] ocol: if you want to discuss the matter, please do so at ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [11:10] RanyAlbec: Just try 'sudo apt-get remove limewire-basic' then. [11:10] Take it ieasy [11:11] Or look for it in the synaptic package manager. [11:11] ocol: your best bet, is to try an older ubuntu 8.04 (skip 7.10)....

[11:12] ysis: should i just remove it? [11:12] RanyAlbeg: That's where your configuration files are. If you plan on reinstalling later leave it. [11:12] RanyAlbeg: No, you don't have to, but you can if you wish [11:12] Otherwise remove it or use the 'purge' option in synaptic.

[13:24] does it exist in the package manager? [13:25] s3r3n1t7: i'm fairly sure the best course of action is removing the symlink from the rc#.d folder [13:25] any folks here know about ubuntu networking? [13:25] !anyone | bonhoffer [13:25] bonhoffer: 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? [13:25] wijnand, I've always just removed the executable bit from the scripts. Has worked for me so far, i don't generally disable a service i need at some point. [13:26] and here is a follow up to that question, why are there symlinks in multiple rc#.d folders? [13:26] s3r3n1t7: yes... coz I am running out of space on / [13:26] mysql is in like 4-5 different rc#.d [13:26] #ubuntu -offtopic [13:27] error404notfound, and have you located which folder holds that much diskspace? Also, do you use any virtualization software? [13:27] error404notfound, and i'd check your var and tmp folders first. [13:27] how do I install sasl on ubuntu 6.06? Does it exist on package manager? Or how do I make a search? [13:27] #ubuntu-offtopic [13:27] that right, run levels.. nvm, answered my own question.. :) [13:27] ok when i did that it had nothing in there about selecting fglrx as the driver [13:27] haaga: can't you edid what is and isn't started at boot in the system menus? [13:27] haaga: that's the best way to do it [13:28] haaga: answering it yourself === mafsi is now known as mafsi_away [13:28] wijnand: you mean under Services Settings? [13:28] i think so yet [13:28] yes [13:28] apelgate: open a terminal and issue this: apt-cache search sasl [13:28] error404notfound, do this => du -sh /var <= it'll say access denied a few times and show you the size of the var folder. Do the same for your /tmp and /home folder. See if they're using abnormally huge amounts of space. [13:29] what would cause ubuntu to not se the usb devices plugged into it? [13:29] see* [13:29] gartral, into a hub? [13:29] texincali: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [13:29] bazhang: negative [13:29] gartral: do they appear in lsusb? [13:29] s3r3n1t7: aren't those errors resolved by sudo'ing it? [13:29] wijnand: Thanks, i think that did the trick [13:29] !envy | dronix texincali [13:29] dronix texincali: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [13:29] its not an nvidia card [13:29] its radeon [13:29] bazhang: lsusb hand when i run it [13:29] hangs* [13:30] haaga: good stuff [13:30] wijnand, yes, but i'd rather avoid using sudo whenever i can. Small typo's can lead to big mistakes. [13:30] true, but those make life fun ;) [13:30] texincali: its for both nvidia and ati cards [13:30] Why would attaching a blank SATA drive cause Ubuntu to not boot? [13:30] gartral: are you sure the usb device works? [13:30] besides, du is far more accurate if you sudo it, but anyway [13:31] wijnand, not when you're trying to fix an issue. The size is exactly the same for me (just checked) === sean is now known as Guest95328 [13:31] Exilant: yes, im quite sure. i just got done transferring music too it (and yes, i waited till ubuntu told me it was safe too remove) [13:32] there isnt one for intrepid [13:32] only hardy [13:32] s3r3n1t7: i thought it skipped the size of whatever it doesn't have access to.. which COULD be an entire homedir for another user [13:32] Im going to buy a printer today, nothing fancy, just a lil' cheapo'. Anyone recommend a certain printer I should be looking at? [13:32] is there a way with the "find" command to search for specific time ranges? [13:33] Droopsta915: personally i'd avoid HP [13:33] !juanty [13:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about juanty [13:33] !jaunty [13:33] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009, Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [13:33] droopsta915: hp, cannon might be good [13:33] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters Droopsta915 [13:33] unplugging the device and running lsusb works though [13:33] cypherus: yes, check the man page for atime, ctime, and mtime [13:33] wijnand, home folders are by default readable by other users, only a few folders are protected from other users. The size difference between using sudo and not sudo is 30k for me, having 4 users on this system. [13:34] !upgrade > satya === drostie is now known as xpd [13:34] pepperjack: try that with a pipe === xpd is now known as lmno [13:35] cypherus, yes, take a look at the -newer flag. [13:35] gartral: he left the chan anyway === Mike__ is now known as X-Factor [13:35] cypherus, -newerXY actually === lmno is now known as drostie [13:36] error404notfound, also synaptic does show the size. Check under prefences, you can enable the option to show the installed size of packages there. Good luck, i have to go. [13:36] cool, thanks I 'll check that ouy [13:36] wijnand, thank you for your catches and comments. Best of luck. [13:36] aaaahhh [13:36] out [13:37] cypherus, man find wins there. [13:37] im booting the OFW on my dap too see if my latest rockbox build broke usb [13:37] haaga you still here? [13:37] hello. i have asus x50gl notebook, with nvidia 8200 chipset. everytime i try to install ubuntu 8.10, it crashes (tryed with 2 different cds plus one ordered cd with ubuntu) - how can i install it? [13:37] :) [13:38] hello everyone [13:38] Hi. I have installated realplayer from repo medibuntu, I have unistalled it, but now I see all videos (play by any player) with a colors yhat are not it's colurs [13:38] how are you guys doning [13:38] burg: do you get any errors? [13:38] burg: can you tell us more about this problem? Error messages etc.? [13:38] quit [13:38] my Ubuntu Intrepid (aka Easpy Peasy) behaves strange after autoupdate: My firefox is now in english (instead of german) and I cant run pidgin as user anymore. I have to start it as SU. What happened? [13:39] its ubuntu.... the ofw think im plugging it into a charger [13:39] i have perl Version of perl on system is 5.10.0-11.1ubuntu2 and it says i need the lubuntu2.2 version to install pidgin 2.5.5 [13:39] i get a black screen with a message all over the screen (not like big letters, but written on every line) [13:39] burg: what is the error? [13:39] i can`t remember the message. anyway as i remember is a known problem with my chipset and i was wondering if there is any fix for it or something [13:40] is there a way i can reset my usb ports? [13:41] burg, no much people can do if you don't provide the error message === Johnny is now known as Guest91382 [13:41] gartral, what do mean reset usb port [13:42] gartral: modprobe -vr ehci_hcd [13:42] ok, all that i can do is try to install it again now and come back in about 30 minutes with the error message. will i still find you here to ask? [13:42] Bisch1: maybe try ubuntu-eee? It has better docs than easy-peasy, IMHO [13:42] gartral: then: modprobe -v ehci_hcd [13:42] burg: just hold it [13:42] Hey guys, I got a ubuntu dummie question [13:43] danbhfive_jaunt1: Thanks, but Easpy Peasy = Ubuntu EEE, isnt it? Its juss the new name [13:43] i mean reset the deamon that looks at them, and flush out anything that could gob it up... i have a massive daisy chain for my monitor... [13:43] I managed to remove NetworkManager from the panel [13:43] How do I get it back? [13:43] Bisch1: no, easy-peasy was eeebuntu I thought [13:43] !eee [13:43] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [13:43] !resetpanels | ivve [13:43] ivve: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [13:43] ivve: this ticked me off the first time i did it, but you rightclick a blank spot on the panel, hit add to panel, and add a network manager, then move it and lock it down [13:44] burg: what version are you installing 8.10? [13:44] yes [13:44] Bisch1: on, nvm, you are correct. I meant eeebuntu: http://www.eeebuntu.org/ [13:44] !terminal [13:44] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [13:44] H3l1c0pt3r: that version is available from intrepid-updates [13:44] gartral, NetworkManager is not in there. [13:44] ixchat [13:44] wow, it took 7 minutes for ubuntu too find my DAPs drives [13:45] dronix: yes, 8.10 [13:45] iterminal [13:45] !xchat [13:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat [13:45] ivve yes, its called network monitor [13:45] !terminal [13:45] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Didnt know this one! Good looking site so far. EP site looks rather slim [13:46] yeah, and sometimes, documentation is everything [13:46] so true! [13:46] so they have more.... [13:47] Im rather disappointed from EP... the version before ubuntu eee based on 804 did work better [13:47] but now I have to reinstall it and reinstall it because strange things happen [13:47] ubuntu is also seeing my DAP's drives as standard harddrives not belonging too a DAP [13:48] forums on EP are not very active too :( [13:48] eee pc? [13:48] ubottu thanks for the help [13:48] nor is it coming up at all in lsusb [13:48] burg: sorry but I can't find the error message, try installing again, if the gui installer doesn't work try installing without gui [13:48] Bisch1: do you have a separate /home? [13:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:48] did you try eeebuntu? [13:48] not yet. didnt knew they are different [13:49] well [13:49] I have tried mandriva linux and eeebuntu [13:49] on my eee pcs. [13:49] I thought eee ubuntu = ubuntu eee = easy peasy [13:49] both claim to have full eee support. [13:49] How do I disable the cups port on Ubuntu? When I try to uninstall cups, it wants to uninstall ubuntu-desktop! [13:49] no [13:49] dronix: how to install without the gui? [13:49] Yea, now I know they are different [13:49] JarG0n: ubuntu-desktop is just the meta-package its ok [13:50] apelgate: Bisch1: You guys may find this website interesting too: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ [13:50] pepperjack> ok thanks. What is a metapackage? === Acedip is now known as anurag [13:50] this is making me mad [13:50] <{horhay}> z i just got done doing an aptitude install bastille on my vps ubuntu box new to ubuntu server never heard anything about bastille anything else i should do to make it more secure and will bastillie work [13:50] i cant figure this crap out... [13:50] Thanks for the link danbhfive_jaunt1 [13:51] JarG0n: its a package that a bunch of other packages are associated with. like from a clean command line only install i can install ubuntu-desktop and it installs all the regular ubuntu desktop stuff [13:51] pepperjack> That package is not recommended to be removed. [13:51] π [13:51] so what are main differences between eee ubuntu and ubuntu eee except docs...speaking of the installed ienvireonment [13:51] pepperjack> any idea why Synaptic wants to uninstall it along with cups ? [13:52] JarG0n: cups is part of ubuntu-desktop [13:52] dronix: i found a tutorial how to install ubuntu on my chipset, but that`s for 8.04 ( http://ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/install_ubuntu_on_nvidia_8200_chipset ) - i`ll try that for 8.10, and if it doesn`t work, i`ll come back with the error message, maybe you`ll get an idea [13:52] Bisch1: well sicne they are not official distros you have to ask their channels [13:52] burg: ok good [13:52] I don't know. I think both try to remove programs not relevant to eee, like cd burners, and add programs that are, like say ubuntu-mobile platform things, or the eee-control package [13:53] kitche: well, I got the hint from easypeasy channel to ask here [13:53] uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubuntu [13:53] Anyone here know how I can set up my xubuntu desktop for sharing?
