[00:00] ive seen some channels like #Peru with 10,000 users on the larger networks [00:00] chrome_: welcome to ubuntu! Most people are just idling or afk [00:00] carlos_: no; pick kde on your login screen and make it your default desktop there [00:00] you had KDE, and after a reboot you got gnome [00:01] what do I need to do, I cant uninstall Packages in ubuntu hardy? [00:01] remoteCTLR thats simple? hahahaha it looks i want easy help like in windows right :D [00:01] toni_m: worked? [00:01] remoteCTRL: Thanks you are number one... thanks alot m8 [00:01] yes it worked and thanks alot alot alot. [00:01] carlos_: even easier:) [00:01] ubuntu should be easier than windows [00:01] toni_m: glad to help:) [00:01] could someone explain to me how to put a new channel in xchat? [00:01] that's our goal [00:01] remoteCTLR oh thanks well let me restart again thanks [00:01] remoteCTRL: glad to get help from you :) bye [00:02] carlos_: np === yacc_ is now known as yacc [00:03] rixtr66: what is it that you want to do? Join another channel? [00:03] well yes! [00:03] what software would I get if I wanted my local computers to download all updates off of one of my other local machines? [00:03] there's about 3 questions per minute [00:03] graingert: in the remote desktop program does host mean the ip? [00:03] rixtr66: just type "/join #nameofchannel" for example "/join "ubuntu-offtopic" [00:03] jaggedsphere: you won't need much software, that could be done through apt, I think [00:04] jaggedsphere: you mean you want to set up an own repository or smething like microsoft sus? [00:04] I think so...\ === encore is now known as icebreacker === carlos is now known as Guest5246 [00:04] remoteCTLR yes, thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [00:04] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and when I type lspci -v the system says that my video card is a 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]). My question is: Is it possible to have some desktop effects enabled?? [00:04] just want to cut down on repeated downloads [00:04] !ati | MeXTuX [00:04] MeXTuX: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:04] jaggedsphere: well which of both?:D [00:05] Guest5246: hehe np dude:) [00:05] i know about the /join #channel part,what i want to know is how to put a different server in.sorry i didnt explain better. [00:05] apache2-ssl-certificate -days 365 this comand is not working for me :S not found === Guest5246 is now known as charles1 [00:05] MeXTuX: sure, why not? got the driver installed already? [00:05] remoteCTRL: IT WORKED <3 thanks! [00:05] jklock: no sound. [00:06] do all tv tuners work with Ubuntu? or only certain ones [00:06] Chotaz: No sound period or no sound to your headset [00:06] bluenzo^nix: Yay! [00:06] jaggedsphere: try http://mediakey.dk/~cc/howto-create-your-own-debian-or-ubuntu-package-repository/ [00:06] jklock: no sound to my headset [00:06] BrixSat: yeah they took out that script after version dapper i believe you gotta do it the oldfashioned way with openssl [00:06] jklock: have you read the guide? [00:06] bluenzo^nix: np [00:06] remoteCTRL :| [00:07] remote so what exactly happened, did grub add itself to the mbr or something? im not sure how all of this works its confusing lol [00:07] BrixSat: not too hard its like tree steps or so [00:07] Recommend good tutorial for installing themes in ubuntu? [00:07] jklock: sound is coming out on speakers [00:07] Chotaz: yeah I read through most of it [00:07] r [00:07] jaggedsphere: or this one: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror === tom__ is now known as jardi [00:07] remoteCTRL can you tel wich steps or should i chec apache channel? [00:07] bluenzo^nix: supergrub disk collects information about the hdds and if it finds something that can bee booted it adds it into a menu [00:07] that's basically it [00:07] jklock: that part where it says to set everything to PulseAudio but the mixer, I set the mixer to my Nvidia sound card, should I choose the headset? [00:08] remoteCTRL: there is only one MBR? for all the HDDs? [00:08] BrixSat: nope its an ssl question, gimme a sec i think i have some docs flying arroung on that somewhere [00:08] RickZilla: well, install is easy. Download the theme of your choice, the *.tar.gz. Then, drag this tar.gz on the thememanager (System > Preferences > Appearance) [00:08] do all tv tuners work with Ubuntu? or only certain ones? i need to upload to justin.tv [00:08] Chotaz: well now you sit in an interesting position. I have taken you as far as I can, and I have given you links to information that should help you solve your problems if you piece everything together. [00:08] Chotaz: Now you have to expirement and play around. [00:08] oCean_: That easy, eh? I'll give it a try. Thanks for the help. [00:09] bluenzo^nix: nope there is an mbr in each hdd, but one hdd has the "active" flag which means on that one grub is located, and so that one is adressed first [00:09] Does anybody know why USB transfer are terrible slow with large files? [00:09] ehm nop. I haven't installed any driver and wanted to ask because the card is .... (don't know how to say it) embedded in my motherboard (I apologize for my poor english) [00:09] jklock: kk... i'll try it around. [00:09] RickZilla: alternatively you can click Add (in the Sys > Prefs > Appearance dialog) and browse to the .tar.gz [00:09] remoteCTRL: k thanks :) [00:09] Chotaz: I also have to leave work :) [00:09] do all tv tuners work with Ubuntu? or only certain ones? i need to upload to justin.tv [00:10] i want to add the server irc.esper.net to the server list in x chat how do i do that? [00:10] <^Ocean^> How can i tell my Kernel not too load a Driver on boot ? [00:10] thanks odder but it looks like what I imagined does not exist...had the idea that a SoHo server would pool the software requirements for all of the systems on the network and serve the files centrally as opposed multiple redundant downloads from the internet [00:10] And wanted to know if it is possible to install ATI driver in order to enable some desktop effects [00:10] would anyone care to recommend a good program for comparing two directories/sub-directories and showing the differences for Ubuntu? thanks [00:10] Can i use Remote desktop on ubuntu over the internet? [00:11] ^Ocean^: first, let me compliment you on the nick. Great! :P Second: it is possible to blacklist modules. See /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:11] BrixSat: threre you go: http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt you can skip the bla bla and directly to the create certificates part [00:12] jaggedsphere: you can still reduce those redundant download for a big bit [00:12] bluenzo^nix: its allright buddy;) [00:12] thanks remoteCTRL [00:12] <^Ocean^> oCean_, ;) Thanks dude [00:13] homercycles: "diff" can compare directories (command line) [00:13] jaggedsphere: i know of no explicit software update server, normally you would use a repository for that [00:13] BrixSat: np [00:13] I am sure I can odder but it's actually just me and my wife's laptop... [00:13] oCean_: thanks. sounds obvious :-) [00:13] homercycles: unix often is! [00:14] jaggedsphere: then download it twice in gods name:D [00:14] but that would be the easy way! [00:14] jaggedsphere: there is another possibility then [00:14] oCean: don't suppose you know of any good GTK equivalents for the lazy? [00:14] b419kid: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290055 [00:14] jaggedsphere: if you want the hard wag*g* [00:15] ammbitious [00:15] odder: thanks :) [00:15] oCean_: no, not offhand.. sorry [00:15] oCean_: no problems thanks for your help anyway. I'll use diff for now [00:15] jaggedsphere: still there? [00:16] yup [00:16] b419kid: no prob, just googled it [00:16] kk [00:16] ok, so what is the hard way? [00:16] Where do *you* put uncompiled sources? [00:16] homercycles: actually, in the repositories is fldiff and mgdiff - supposedly the graphical way [00:16] jaggedsphere: you can write yourself a little script to achieve that, i can point you the way what tools to use butfrom there on you are your own... interested? [00:16] !info fldiff [00:16] fldiff (source: fldiff): A graphical diff program. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1-1.1 (intrepid), package size 88 kB, installed size 208 kB [00:16] oCean_: thanks. sweek [00:16] yes sir I am [00:17] oCean_: thanks. sweet, even [00:17] join /uclinux [00:17] jklock: tried almost everything, checking and unchecking boxes, no sound coming from the ehadset [00:17] !info xxidff | homercycles final option [00:17] homercycles: Package xxidff does not exist in intrepid [00:17] jaggedsphere: hehe kk; are you familiar with dpkg? it has a --get-selection and a --set-selection option [00:17] familiar yes... === tom__ is now known as jardi2 [00:18] odder: vnc requires pc to install so its kinda the opposite of what i need [00:18] homercycles: ok, one more, then I'm done suggesting :P - there is also xxdiff in the repos, which is (sounds promising) "a graphical file and directories comparison and merge tool" [00:18] odder: thanks a lot though. [00:19] jaggedsphere: you can put the output into text files, compare the output of both computers after you did the updates on one and then use rsync to get the files from the updated computers /var/apt/cache directory and the install them on the other computer with dpkg --set-selection [00:19] oCean_: you have been most helpful. thanks very much [00:19] hmm I see === jardi2 is now known as jardi [00:19] jaggedsphere: if you need help on writing that script ask in #bash [00:20] jaggedsphere: all clear?:D [00:20] I'll research this. thanks remoteCTRL [00:20] jaggedsphere: allways glad to help:) [00:20] would someone please help me with adding a new server on xchat?? [00:21] what is ubuntu? [00:21] !ubuntu [00:21] 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 [00:21] hello! is there a possibilty in bash to automatically delete the 4 first letters of all files in a directionary?

Mount wants a filesystem type but parted /dev/sda ust has a blank in the "File system" column. [00:23] ok [00:23] zaccour: http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/ [00:23] remoteCTRL, thanks [00:24] zaccour: np [00:24] Anyone? [00:24] hmm. what's the best Windows Live Messenger/MSN client for Ubuntu? I know there's pigeon [00:24] amsn [00:24] or emesene [00:24] puff: is that fedora volume an lvm volume? [00:24] Can anyone help me getting my microphone to work? [00:24] i tried emesene, it was better than pigeon. hows amsn? [00:24] puff : do u kow what is the file system type of this partition? [00:25] emesene wont let you get or send files to Windows Live Messenger [00:25] so I use aMSN [00:25] remoteCTRL: I believe so.l [00:25] which channel for jaunty support? [00:25] puff ok in that case sudo apt-get install lvm2 [00:25] then execute the following commands subsequently: [00:25] Lamo: #ubuntu+1 i believe [00:25] hm. aMSN have mic support? [00:26] Esvandiary, thanks [00:26] startkeylogger [00:26] darthv3gan : if u want a mic support go for sip-communicator.org [00:26] download the .deb file [00:26] remoteCTRL: I see sda and sdb. sda has a 107 MB ext3 boot partition and an 80GB partition that has a blank "File System" column and "lvm" under the flags column. [00:27] remoteCTRL: sdb has a single 40GB ext3 boot partition, I presume that's the windows partition on this thing. [00:27] puff: sudo pvscan sudo vgscanudo vgchange -a y sudo lvscan [00:27] puff: if it is an ext3 partition i seriously doubt that as windos would be running on an ntfs partition [00:28] i have a few scripts, they work fine in a terminal with sude, but when i make a cron job they do not work anymore :( [00:28] Oh, good point. Hm. [00:28] what can be the problem? [00:28] Does anyone have a good site or two that has some up to date installation info and config of netatalk? [00:28] puff: let me put this in one working command for you, sec: [00:28] Ijust did the pvscan... [00:29] puff: sudo apt-get install lvm2 && sudo pvscan && sudo vgscan && sudo vgchange -a y && sudo lvscan [00:29] puff: ah! ok i had a syntax error in the above line, i hope you noticed [00:29] The y? [00:29] no the vgscanudo [00:29] Anyone here uses TEAMSPEAK? [00:30] did u get it to work? === vorian is now known as heHATEme [00:30] puff: supposed to say vgscan sudo.. [00:30] i tried.. [00:30] chattr: yepp [00:30] ChotaZ: yepp [00:30] vgscan sudo? [00:30] puff: sudo vgscan && sudo vgchange -a y && sudo lvscan [00:31] hehehe [00:31] remoteCTRL: what do to if I can have mplayer outputting to my headset and I want teamspeak t work the same way? [00:31] is there any gui wifi program for gnome? [00:31] i have a few scripts, they work fine in a terminal with sude, but when i make a cron job they do not work anymore :( what can be the problem, please? [00:31] Lasivian: Yes. [00:31] im using xubuntu, but would like to install Gnome on another user (same computer of course) can i do that without ruining the xubuntu install for my main user? Basically I want User 1 with Xubuntu, user 2 with Ubuntu. [00:31] remoteCTRL: but TS will only output to speakers and people cant hear me talking to the headset's mic [00:31] Is anyone having issues with the update to openjdk? [00:31] puff: what is it please? :) [00:31] ChotaZ: ther is a configuration dialog in the settings menu, you need to pick your headset as output medium there, mostly that is /dev/dsp1 [00:31] eseven73, you can choose at your loginscreen what you want to use [00:32] Lasivian: Gnone Network Manager. [00:32] puff: have you done those? [00:32] eseven73, under sessions i believe [00:32] ward-: hmm how would that work with fast user switching though? [00:32] remoteCTRL: thanks a lot it works now [00:32] ward-: using the user switcher desklet in Xubuntu [00:32] ChotaZ: np:) [00:32] dma...... [00:32] 음 [00:33] eseven73, window manager will remain probably, is this just to test gnome? [00:33] eseven73, i don't know i never tried [00:33] ward-: i guess i could always do replace --metacity [00:33] remoteCTRL:Yes... got some results that look like errors. [00:33] Hello, I can no longer remove wine completely with apt-get remove wine, it only removes about 98 kb, what do I need to do? [00:33] puff: apste them to www.nopaste.org please [00:33] puff: ahh, I was meaning something a little more like netstumbler [00:33] eseven73, if this is just to test gnome, you can do it simpler [00:34] righto. any ideas why gdm/gnome won't start up properly with my new display driver, even though gdm itself starts fine? [00:34] pastebin.com <3 [00:34] eseven73, without extra user [00:34] is ist possible to write to a dialoge in gnome using a script? [00:34] could someone tell me the difference between libboost-python-dev and libboost-python1.34.1? [00:34] remoteCTRL: Working on it... [00:34] Lasivian: there are command line tools for that: iwslist -scan and iwconfig [00:34] puff: kk [00:34] i have a few scripts, they work fine in a terminal with sude, but when i make a cron job they do not work anymore :( what can be the problem, please? [00:34] ward-: well its not really to test gnome, its more of a case of liking both window environments and cant choose between the two :D [00:34] I'm writing a shell script (bash is my shell) that is to change directory before its termination (and it does with embedded pwd to debug), but it does not remain at that location. I realize it is a problem with my script running in a subshell, but I'm SSH-ing to the box and when my script runs with either 'source' or the 'dot operator' (. ./myscript) my SSH session is terminated. Can anyone offer advice on how to complete this without [00:34] terminating my SSH session? [00:35] eseven73, then wouldnt it be easy if you could just choose in your loginscreen what to start? [00:35] Hey, I have a printer, are there any drivers i can get for it? or no :( [00:35] remoteCTRL: I set the output to my headset has you said and I can hear people through the headset but still cant talk to them, where should i look for a minimized liner, ALSA Mixer or PA or Voluecontroller? [00:35] ward-: normally yes, but im using fast user switching widget in Xubuntu [00:35] silvertip257: please ask your question in #bash [00:35] how do i build an install package from source? [00:36] remoteCTRL, will do [00:36] ChotaZ: best in both of them [00:36] !compile | gartral [00:36] gartral: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [00:36] Hey guys, could you give a hand with an X server issue, from an HDD installation of an xbmc live CD? [00:36] eseven73, i dont think that mathers, but im not sure [00:36] ChotaZ: and you might also wanna set the microphone device in the settings dialog of ts [00:37] Orestis_G: what is an xbmc? [00:37] can i open the gnome-keyring in console? [00:37] eseven73, because otehr users can also choose what they want to use at the loginscreen [00:37] eseven73, so there's no reason for it not to work if you switch [00:37] remotectrl: it works now, thanks again, finally I'm done with this ^ [00:37] but again im not sure === tom__ is now known as ubuntu-fr [00:37] never tested [00:37] ChotaZ: np:) [00:37] basically it's a HTPC front-end, however the live CD is based on ubuntu...anyway, my problem is X-server related [00:37] ward-: yes true when not using a fast user switching widget === ubuntu-fr is now known as jardi [00:38] Orestis_G: so what is it? [00:38] remoteCTRL: http://nopaste.com/p/aT3AZoAEob [00:38] eseven73, i was explaining why it should work with your funky widget [00:38] To be precise, the live CD boots to a graphical environment with DRI, automatically identifying the radeon driver as the one to be used (the card is a 9250). [00:38] ward-: ok well ill experiment a bit and report back in about 30mins to an hour (The servers are very congested due to Jaunty beta release last night) [00:39] eseven73, test this on a virtual machine preferrably [00:39] eseven73, jsut in case something goes wrong [00:39] hey guys, does anyone know what package controls the usb controller? [00:39] However, when I install to the disk, although the card is again detected, I have no X unless I disable DRI [00:39] good idea [00:39] how can I check to see what video card i have? [00:39] can anyone help me with my java compiler? [00:39] eseven73: will this produce a .deb file? [00:39] Hi, I am trying to setup my ubuntu machine to display on a Mitsubishi WS-55513. Normal console shows up OK, but when I start x it display a black screen. I took the modeline from the mythtv site, which I am assuming worked for at least one other person. Can someone please help me get this to work? [00:39] J_Litewski: open the box and look? [00:39] it's a laptop [00:39] eseven73, virtualbox is pretty good and very straightforward for these tests [00:39] eseven73, good luck [00:39] J_Litewski: lspci [00:39] yea im pretty good with vbox [00:40] was there a way to open xterm to the first x display? from console? when running nothing but the Xorg itself on the graphical side. [00:40] eseven73, also change your package source :p [00:40] puff: sudo modprobe dm_mod then the whole commandline again: sudo pvscan && sudo vgscan && sudo vgchange -a y && sudo lvscan [00:40] drmopendevice returns -1 in both cases (livecd and hdd installation), however when I run the live CD it then succeeds using the BUS ID of the device, while when running from the hdd, the Xserver segfaults [00:40] ward-: I don't know enough to help you wtih cron, but I do know that user identity and permissions are kinda tricky with cron. [00:41] Orestis_G: i am not sure if i can help you on that as i adont even know what dri is...:-/ [00:41] could someone tell me the difference between libboost-python-dev and libboost-python1.34.1? [00:41] Direct Rendering Infrastructure....GLX etc [00:41] What's the easiest way to remove a KDE install and go back to Pure Gnome? [00:41] open gl acceleration [00:41] remoteCTRL: that worked a lot better: http://nopaste.com/p/avxj8fSGT [00:41] puff, yes i was thinkign in that direction too but i'm not good at all at permissions stuff [00:41] gartral: try this http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/create-you-own-debianubuntu-deb-package.html [00:42] moo [00:42] !puregnome > Huufarted [00:42] Huufarted, please see my private message [00:42] wrong window :( [00:42] majnoon, stop that [00:42] grigora: a -dev file is a development file, meaning if you wanna code something for it you will need this or also if cyou wanna compile something that needs this [00:42] bazhang, ty [00:42] wrong window :( [00:42] what is with is authorization stuff everytime i touch something [00:42] how do i turn it off [00:43] anyone? [00:43] bazhang, that mentions installing ubuntu-desktop. Is that needed gnome is already there or is that just used to reinstall the startup screen, etc? [00:43] ward-: I did some stuff with cron about six months ago and had some mysterious problems that turned out to be because of something counterintuitive about what user the cron job ran as, etc. A friend helped me sort it out but I can't find it in my notes, sorry. [00:43] puff: there you go, now you can mount these 5 harddisks one after the other by sudo mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt [00:43] Huufarted, not to my knowledge no, that is just a meta-package [00:43] remoteCTRL: Okay, so that seemed to go well, so [00:43] sup rururs [00:43] puff, it should be ran as root if i understand correctly, since i added the cron job with sudo crontab -e -u root [00:44] puff: so? [00:44] remoteCTRL: Should I change "/mnt" with each lnie? [00:44] bazhang, meta-package? Does that mean it's just a list of other packages it will attempt to install? [00:44] remoteCTRL: thanks, so what's the other one for? considering boost is a library and the only reason you would install it is to use it (link against it, etc). [00:44] remoteCTRL: When you're typing a question and before you get done somebody says the answer. [00:44] remoteCTRL: You lose the race :-) [00:44] Huufarted, it just pulls in all of what you need for ubuntu desktop [00:45] !metapackage [00:45] A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [00:45] remoteCTRL: Should "/mnt" change for each volume, and if so, any way to figure out what they are/should be? [00:45] bazhang, thank you. :) [00:45] blah, this plain sucks [00:45] Could someone help please. [00:46] For some reason my Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will NOT restart X. Could anyone help? [00:46] gdm is simply stuck at a black screen and the loading-cursor when X starts, and nothing further happens. makes no sense. [00:46] alec: are you on jaunty? [00:46] alec: log out and back in [00:46] Ibex. [00:47] I did log out and back in. no luck. [00:47] I've tried a lto of things acutally. [00:47] reboot [00:47] reboot doesn't help either. [00:47] puff: mount is a standard directory for just such a purpose, if you want to mount all of the volumes simultaneously you need to have a directory for each volume you wanna mount so f. ex create some: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk1 && sudo mkdir /mnt/disk2 , etc [00:47] alec: ok. I know in jaunty the ctrl-alt-backsp feature is disabled. [00:47] grigora: i am not sure if i understand the question? [00:47] disabled? why? :o [00:47] ah ha. I think maybe I read that somewhere as well. hmm.... I wonfer if this is the case in Ibex. ?? [00:48] alec: "lsb_release -a" to find out [00:48] yeh... why would they disable that? usuability? But I'm 100% sure that it does NOT work in Ibex. [00:48] oCean... trying. [00:48] remoteCTRL: Ah, first attempted failed, then I noticed the output from lvscan said /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 instead of /dev/mapper/VolGroup00/LogVol00.

[00:50] |PaperTiger|: Good to hear! [00:50] Hey guys, I am having a really ODD problem with connecting to a Microsoft VPN via PPTP using any method under Ubuntu Jaunty. I know Jaunty is in beta, but the odd thing is, I have been connecting fine through Network Manger at my home - I have gone to my parents for the weekend and their setup to the internet is the same and it just fails a look in the logs and it just says pppd hangup.. I have googled my arse off and tried setting it up manually with th [00:50] e same results. The network setup is, laptop (vpn client) ----> adsl wifi router ----> internet -----> work vpn server. It is the same at my house and I connect fine, here at my parents no luck. Any idea what could be going wrong ? [00:50] kinda sucks. i had to install jaunty kernel to get wlan working, but that meant the old nvidia driver stopped working. then when I got that working, it seems gnome doesn't want to work :( [00:50] what is a good wysiwyg html editor for ubuntu,kinda like the one that comes with mozilla but that doesn't require to download a whole suite of apps [00:51] I'm looking for a program that I don't know how to install.

I've done a lot of searching and that's what I found so far: 1. Increasing font DPI isn't a good solution. The text looks bad. 2. Copying multiple and various font files (including these from WinXP installation) into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts doesn't help. 3. Fonts go bad like that when I use Wine compiled from sourcecode. If I install Wine from aptitude fonts are ok.

Right now, I'm tethered to a wire.

[00:59] BrixSat: It is actually in /lib/lsb/init-functions [00:59] Here4TheGear: firmware in this case does not mean the software that runs on the chip but means non free driver software [00:59] remoteCTRL: how do I know where to get it?

[01:13] BOE|Zack: you don't have it mounted with write permissions [01:13] Here4TheGear: so that means it is up and running bzut has no ip address? [01:14] BOE|Zack: in that case you would like to remount it with the -o rw option [01:14] /dev/sda1 on /media/hdmain type fuseblk (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) [01:14] remoteCTRL: wait... no.. sorry, it's does not...

[01:17] remoteCTRL: yes, after... Should I press again and reboot, or just reboot [01:17] remoteCTRL: I get the general idea of LVM, I'm more wondering about what did I just do? [01:17] Here4TheGear: well press it to a state where you would consider it enabled [01:17] remoteCTRL: E.g. why did you comment "awkward"? [01:17] remoteCTRL: and should I unplug the wired one as well? [01:18] remoteCTRL: according to the man pages, that was 1) scan physical devices that LVM supports (and thus might contain LVM volumes). [01:18] Hi there! I'm using ubuntu 8.04 on VMWare. How to make the interface name fixed (as eth0 ou eth1), please? every time that I restart the VM I got a new device number... thank you. [01:18] puff: well as you read volumes are inside of volumegroups and both of them are being managed by vg* or lv* commands [01:19] 2) scan all disks for volume groups and rebuild caches. [01:19] puff: so first you enabled the lvm, then you scanned for groups, ghen you activated the groups then you scanned vor volumes inside the groups and then you mounted the volumes so that they got accessible [01:19] So, if vgscan scans all disks, why did I do lvscan? [01:19] Er, So, if vgscan scans all disks, why did I do pvscan? [01:20] puff: usually the path is /dev/mapper/ i never saw /dev// before [01:20] remoteCTRL: Okay, thanks, that clarifies it a bit. [01:20] remoteCTRL: This is some whacked-in-the-head organzational fedoracore5 install.

[01:21] error log is http://paste.ubuntu.com/139278/ [01:21] i was wondering how ifound out where my sound is so i can echo it maby that mite work [01:22] remoteCTRL: Trouble is, the boxes are all running this organizational installt that expects to have various file servers, kerberos servers, etc, in the environment. [01:22] puff: you can do that on ubuntu also, and it is a good idea to do, yet still the available volume groups are being managed by ubuntu now, so the path structure should be consistent with ubuntu's [01:22] alidar> hey guys ok so i got enemy terratory instaled on my kde 4.1 on ubuntu 8.10 intell duo core, i have to use metacity --replace everytime i want to play the game but even still i cannot hear any sound [01:22] i was wondreing if perhaps someone could help me make sound work [01:22] FernandoF: are you using ldap for auth ? [01:22] Ah, I see. Odd. [01:22] puff: err... ok? [01:23] remoteCTRL: On monday we have to load these into a truck and drive a couple hundred miles to a place where we're not allowed to connect to the network, plug them all togehter on their own little not-connected-to-the-outside-world network and demo this simulation. [01:23] yoshimit: i am typing in a machine and trying to get back my main machine... but what was your point...sorry i am not that used with all this terms [01:23] how would I go about connecting to a password protected windows share with the 'connect to server' link under 'places'? [01:23] there's no password field [01:24] We're pretty sure the specialized stuff on the fedoracore boxes won't cope, so we're figuring to boot them all under ubuntu live CDs. [01:24] remoteCTRL: Make sense? [01:24] puff: so far so good, what's the problem now? [01:24] yoshimit: I think for auth i am using .ICEauthority [01:24] Hey folks, isn't there any director download link for Ubuntu 8.10 dvd image? I see only torrents for 8.10 and direct dvd image for 8.04... [01:24] yoshimit: could it be? [01:24] remoteCTRL: Hopefully no problem. I wanted to bounce it off you and see if you spotted any fatal flaws... :-). [01:24] puff: ya i think i get the idea but i still don't get the problem about that? [01:24] FernandoF: well, by your log error is a different error that I got last night... so I started to google it... sorry [01:24] remoteCTRL: I think we'll have to build a custom live CD with the lvm2 tools and java on it. [01:25] puff: well that depends on the kerberos etc stuff, usually that is non trivial [01:25] can you talk in this channel if you use ubuntu 9.04 beta....sorry if this a totaly dumb question and makes no sense [01:25] im just bored [01:25] ah! you are running that simulations from live cds? [01:25] remoteCTRL: Right, so that's why I'm thinking to avoid it entirely by just booting under ubuntu liveCD, mount the LVM partitions simply as data disks, and run the simulatiosn off them. [01:25] FernandoF: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/300028 [01:25] hacker07: have a try in ubuntu+1 or in #ubuntu-offtopic;) [01:26] FernandoF: boa sorte! [01:26] puff: why would you do that? [01:26] remoteCTRL: Which part? [01:26] puff: wha won't you boot the native systems? [01:26] remoteCTRL: Because the native systems won't become fully functional unless we do some major surgery to cut out kerberos, etc. [01:27] yoshimit: thx ... ihope i will not be back :) [01:27] remoteCTRL: I'm hoping it'll be simpler just to side-step all of that by running it under ubuntu.

[01:27] I'ma ctually in favor of adding an ubuntu partition, but my coworkers think that'll be messier... [01:27] puff: if you just need to access the data and want to avoid the configuration that involvers kerberos, of course then also some ldap database, etc, sure, not a bad idea [01:28] FernandoF: DF [01:28] .. i was thinking .. i see a lot of windows 98 machines at swap meets and stuff .. i can turn them into linux file servers etc .. ? anyone else doing this ? [01:28] remoteCTRL: okay, cool... I'm just looking for a reality check... [01:28] puff: well if you can add a partition it is allway better to do so, as a live system has its limitations, not only what concerns speed... [01:29] FernandoF: this one seems to have a solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/287488 [01:29] remoteCTRL: How hairy do you think adding an ubuntu partition would be?

It has volume controls that work outside of games is there a way to get them to work inside games?

I've never had that problem with Synaptic. If all else fails, there's always apt-get. Are you sure you're using synaptic and not the gnome-install thing? [02:11] Hi, I don't have the computer on me, but I was wondering if there are any diagnostic kinda things I can try - We have an admin user and a very limited and locked down user. The admin user can access a wifi access point, but the locked down one cannot. If I access it via admin, then log out and move to the locked down, it works. The access point authenticates based on MAC address and not on any kind of password, but the student one will throw reques [02:11] authentication sometimes. [02:11] how can i fix my X problems (fixX in recovery mode didnt) and dpgk reconfigure xesrver xorg didnt [02:11] gigabites2: I'm sure ;) synaptic only shows installed applications, it makes assumptions based on the packages you have installed [02:12] it does NOT show you a list of all installed PACKAGES (stuff like libraries and such) [02:12] gigabyte2: got the message "unable to resolve host Malhada-Xibas" being Malhada-Xibas my computer name [02:12] or how can i reinstall ubuntu without losing anything [02:12] does anyone want to help me with a problem???

Are there any restrictions, such as to a password keychain or any other authentication parts that would restrict this?

[02:25] here4thegear, keep looking for the 242x I am trying to find the best one on handymansblog [02:25] startx still gives same error about nvidia driver so i am rebooting === _Lepohi is now known as Lepohi [02:25] especially my private key [02:25] nonewmsgs: [02:26] nonewmsgs: upload xorg.conf to some pastebin [02:26] clearscreen: someone should look at the release notes again, because there are security update i pidgin 2.5.5 [02:26] puff: Adding a new lvm volume? [02:26] puff: Adding or a new logical partition? [02:26] clearscreen : it has a lot of errors "Failng to obtain " and ends with not possible to resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com? [02:26] gartral: I'm personally running 9.04 just fine, but I did receive a pidgin upgrade about 4 days ago on 8.10 [02:26] puff: or a new logical partition?** [02:26] gigabites2: The latter. [02:27] clearscreen: how do i upload it to pastebin via the terminal [02:27] I get sound in rhytmbox, but not mplayer or vlc... any ideas? any at all? even bad ideas would be appreciated at this point.... [02:27] puff: Impossible, I think. You cannot resize an lvm partition, if that's what you mean. You could try installing to a new lvm volume, but I've never tried it. [02:27] puff: how do i backup my private gpg key [02:27] gigabites2: This is a machine with three physical partitions. A mutant fedoracore5 using LVM is set up on it. There are five LVM partitions, two of which have ~10GB available. [02:27] my update (to jaunty beta) was interrupted. is there any way to continue it after a hard reboot? [02:27] Platypus-Man: try switching driver output [02:27] nonewmsgs: good question, I usually just set up a quick apache server and host it there and grab it from another machine [02:28] sudo apt-get upgrade -d [02:28] or update-manager -d [02:28] lacqui: next time use torrent [02:28] lacqui please visit #ubunut+1 [02:28] gartral: where do I do that? [02:28] i think it is the second one gartral [02:28] FernandoF: do you have an internet connection? [02:28] lacqui please visit #ubuntu+1 [02:28] gigabites2: I'm trying to figure out how to get ubuntu installed on this machine as a third boot option (besides windows and mutant fedoracore5) without disturbing things too much. Sadly, there is not a huge chunk of unused disk space (that I can see). [02:28] FernandoF: try a simple "ping www.google.com" [02:28] bromic94: 2nd what? [02:28] I have a ubuntu server and an ubuntu laptop but I can connect from the laptop to server. Could not open location 'smb://... failed to mount Windows Share" This just started yesterday. Anybody have any ideas. [02:28] hey how can i have my folders in my mac partition accessible during jauny? [02:29] second command i said to start the upgrade to jaunty beta [02:29] on my machine? I think yes...but only text now... And I only have Ubuntu on it and no windows [02:29] puff: You aren't considering wubi? [02:29] i can access some folders but not music or documents etc [02:29] FernandoF: ping -c 5 google.com [02:29] FernandoF: No response? [02:29] clearscreen: on my machine? I think yes...but only text now... And I only have Ubuntu on it and no windows [02:30] Waitasec... [02:30] gigabites2: wubi? [02:30] can anyone teach me how to compile and install from .tar.gz? [02:30] FernandoF: try to do a ping @ ubuntu [02:30] waitasec... maybe there *is* some unused disk. Hm. [02:30] later guys thanks [02:30] puff: From the livecd. Allows you to install Ubuntu to a hard drive file in Windows for testing purposes [02:30] Platypus-Man: Tools>Preferences>Audio> and under the Output section, select a different Type in VLC [02:30] puff: No partitioning required [02:30] ChotaZ: tar -xzf something.tar.gz - cd - ./configure - make - sudo make install [02:30] puff: Not quite native speed though. [02:31] - = enter :P [02:31] clearscreen: im not seeing any updates, which repos are you using? [02:31] gigabites: got uknowm host message [02:31] ChotaZ: Chess Griffin did a really good job with this on Linux Reality Episode 41 [02:31] clearscreen from a terminal at ~/? [02:31] whats a good app if i want to rip a piece of audio from an avi file? [02:31] FernandoF: Are you behind a router? [02:31] Hey [02:31] Now is everything working? [02:31] is there a way to install ubuntu over itself losing as little data as possible [02:31] gartral: personally using 9.04 jaunty, but im pretty damn sure I saw an upgrade to 8.10 pidgin 3 or 4 days ago [02:32] nonewmsgs-> what do you mean install to itself? [02:32] nonewmsgs: thats why you often see /home on its own partition. makes that much easier [02:32] nonewmsgs: Separate home partition. Just don't format the home partition [02:32] clearscreen: get unknown host message [02:32] gigabites2: Sounds nifty, but... hm. [02:32] yeah my /home is a noher partitoin [02:32] clearscreen: which repo database are you using in 8.10? [02:32] nonewmsgs: define "data", usually backing up your home folder (including all hidden folders starting with .) does the trick [02:32] gigabites2: How much of a speed hit? The stuff I need to run seriously stresses the system. [02:32] puff: Yeah. If you're looking to test it out, it seems ideal. You can then uninstall it from the Windows control panel [02:32] clearscreen: yes [02:32] I need some help with installing linux on a particular machine [02:32] nonewmsgs: then backup whatever configs you have customized, and you can reinsatll.. [02:32] gartral: nl.archives.ubuntu.com [02:32] gigabites2: Also, how reliable? === cs278|laptop is now known as cs278|i7 [02:33] FernandoF: you dont have an internet connection on ubuntu it seems, can you pastebin your "ifconfig" output? [02:33] clearscreen: and get my internet through router [02:33] JAO1988-> what is limiting you so far? [02:33] clearscreen: ./configure says file or directory not existing [02:33] gartral: that didn't work either [02:33] chronic: i think ffmepg can do that, sudo apt-get install ffmepg (its command line, and youll have to google for the syntax) [02:33] I'm looking to install tiny Linux operating system on a NeoWare Geode 300mhz Thin PC with 32mb of RAM, 4mb of Video Memory, and 64mb of Flash Memory [02:33] Mostly the RAM [02:33] Platypus-Man: im at a loss [02:33] ChotaZ: after extracting the tar archive, cd into it [02:33] ooh [02:34] hello people [02:34] started mplayer again, and got audio [02:34] JAO1988: not sure ubuntuc an handle that low end a system [02:34] anyone knows if I can change QLineEdit's background using stylesheet? [02:34] gigabites2: I'm not looking to test... it's a complicated situation. In a nutshell, these machines have mutant fedoracore5 on them, with dependencies on network servers at this site (kerberos, etC) which will make them unusable if not booted up in this network. [02:34] puff: Not sure on the reliability. It seems to have improved immensely since it debuted. It sometimes used to mess w/ the Windows bootloader, but hasn't in recent history, as far as I know. Speed will take a hit since you're reading & writing to a file in an ntfs system. Not sure on the exact speed hit [02:34] clearscreen: the tarball is called [02:34] JAO1988: try "DSL" -> Damn Small Linux [02:34] thanks for the help gartral [02:34] dr_willis: I'm getting help also in the Ubuntu Chicago channel [02:34] JAO1988: tinycorelinux, or puppylinux, or DSL can i belive [02:34] clearscreen: noip-duc-linux.tar.gz but when i try to cd noip-duc-linux.tar.gz it says the directory doesnt existe [02:34] JAO1988-> that does seem to small, perhaps look into embedded linux? [02:34] JAO1988: or puppy [02:34] JAO1988: try zenwalk, its very thin [02:34] ChotaZ: tar -xzf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz [02:34] puff: Definitely not ideal then. [02:35] gigabites2: But on monday we need to drive 200 miles and set up these machines without an outside network to do a demo. [02:35] JAO1988: dsl [02:35] anyone use Avant Window Navigator? [02:35] I'm looking to install it on a External Hard-drive and use it for Media Sharing [02:35] Movie playback if possible also [02:35] JAO1988: you can run DSL on an external harddrive [02:35] even on a USB stick [02:35] puff: So speed is an issue, you cannot touch the partitioning.. [02:35] clearscreen: did. [02:35] I have a problem with a wireless card rtl-8185 wireless card, in window$ has veri nice signal but not in linux, I'm Using ubuntu 8.10 [02:35] ChotaZ: cd noip[TAB][ENTER] [02:35] gigabites2: which is why I'm looking to figure out some way to boot them under ubuntu and use the drives/partitions with the fedoracore stuff on them solely as data disks. [02:36] clearscreen still cant ./configure [02:36] Is there somethign I can do besides "sudo parted /dev/sd* print" to see drives, etc? [02:36] araujo_: what does it's rate say at "iwconfig"? [02:36] =\ [02:36] puff: Is drive performance important? Would, say, a usb hard drive work? [02:36] puff: fdisk -l? [02:36] puff: Same idea, though [02:36] chotaz@Zanarkand:~/noip-2.1.9-1$ ./configure [02:36] bash: ./configure: Ficheiro ou directoria inexistente [02:36] puff: sudo fdisk -l, or ls -l /dev/disks/by-XXXX [02:36] JAO1988: if your external hdd is usb, not all bios's will allow booting from that [02:37] That's another problem [02:37] gigabites2: Possibly, but then I'd need to scrounge up 10 USB drives.... [02:37] ChotaZ: is this a kernel patch? maybe it's not built using autoconf, try compiling it directly [02:37] type "make" [02:37] gigabites2: Can ubuntu boot off a usb drive?/// [02:37] wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"04125470365-Modines" [02:37] Mode:Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz Access Point: 00:15:6D:A7:39:18 [02:37] Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm [02:37] Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B [02:37] Power Management:off [02:37] Link Quality=9/100 Signal level:18/65 [02:37] araujo_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:37] It seems the bios was last updated in 2003... it had legacy support but it doesn't seem to detect my External HDD [02:37] JAO1988: 'geexbox' is a micro linux disrto. designed just for video playback. I make bootable 'video' thumbdrives all the time with it. [02:37] gigabites2: Come to think of it, if Iw ent that way, maybe just get 10 HDs and plug them in... hm. [02:37] Interesting. [02:37] like my Dell 2400 dimension, will not allow USB boots [02:37] puff: Certainly, but speed may be a limiting factor again. [02:37] clearscreen: it worked I guess [02:37] araujo_: you can try manually setting your bit rate higher: sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M === cs278 is now known as Guest17876 [02:37] puff: I would've recommend a little flash drive, if that's what you mean [02:38] puff: wouldn't** [02:38] dr_willis: Would that work for media sharing also, like using Xbmc for example? [02:38] Should I not update if I'm using 9.04 beta? I didn't have update notice untill I used Synaptic, after several reboots. Would updating install older packages, wants to do 136...? [02:38] puff: But ubuntu has no trouble running off a usb-hdd if your bios supports it [02:38] JAO1988: ive never gotten xbmc to actually work. So i know very little of its features. Geexbox can access samba, and other shares. it also has some shareing features. Check its homepage. [02:39] puff have you seen this? http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147959 === cs278|i7 is now known as cs278 [02:40] n8tuser: Cute.

[02:43] gigabites2: unless he manually put it down, I dont see how that could happen - worth a try anyway [02:43] FernandoF: do you only see "lo" with sudo ifconfig -a [02:43] gigabites2: Would a flash/USB install be stabler than a liveCD? [02:44] i see lo and the lines i pasted [02:44] gigabites2: Most of the read/write can be to the hard drive... [02:44] puff: SSD's are much faster than live CD's, so yes [02:44] puff: Yes, as clearscreen said. [02:44] gigabites2: The idea is to just use the hard drive as a data drive. [02:44] Hm. [02:44] clearscreen: and I am behind a router [02:44] FernandoF: that doesn't matter [02:44] so? [02:45] FernandoF: try ifconfig -a [02:45] do you see the same thing?

[02:49] FernandoF: Or did it go down again? [02:49] Here is a question, when I do findsmb on my Ubuntu laptop, I get my laptop and my Ubuntu server. If I do it on my server I only see my server.

[02:51] I think higer is worst [02:51] sorry I had no conection [02:51] i put again 11M an conected again [02:51] gigabites2: I'm not sure if dhcpcd is installed by default on ubuntu [02:51] clearscreen: dhclient works though [02:51] is posible to change Tx-Power 27 dBm to higer? what do you recomend? [02:51] clearscreen: dhclient [02:51] gigabites2: ah, excellent :) [02:52] I think it's safe to assume FernandoF is using dhcp :P [02:52] FernandoF: sudo dhclient eth0 [02:53] gigabites2: let me check that out [02:53] can anyone help me with my atheros wireless [02:53] usin the restricted drivers [02:53] but cant seem to scan for the available wireless === bombshelter13 is now known as bombshelter13_ [02:54] anyone ?

S o... Hm. [02:56] thing is , i did manage to find and connect to my wireless [02:56] mint3: if you're using the interface in gnome, it's gnome-network-manager [02:56] FernandoF: ok cool, now lets update ;) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xorg ubuntu-desktop [02:56] mint3: Bad luck then?

I need a litle help with Ubuntu, please someone help me [03:07] FernandoF: there's multiple ways really, either narrow the results by piping to grep (what gigabites2 suggested), or you can run a web/ftp/ssh server on your ubuntu host and access it from your windows pc [03:07] Hmmm, so the guide I followed told me to blacklist the driver that Ubuntu installed for my wireless card. To unblacklist it, can I just comment out the line I added? [03:07] Go0dW: dont ask to ask just ask [03:08] evilnick: Yes. In /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist? [03:08] clearscreen: are you looking for "Failed to load module "nv"? [03:08] bingo [03:08] ok... i can't install driver 4 modem [03:08] hello all [03:08] Does anyone here think they could answer a quick question about Xchat Gnome? [03:08] clearscreen: is his bingo for me? [03:09] FernandoF: To get xorg back up, you can try this: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:09] anyone know a good system admin tool? [03:09] gigabites2, = i did sudo ifconfig [03:09] to monitor/admin a big network [03:09] i dont see "wlan" [03:09] evilnick: atheros card by any chance? [03:09] clearscreen: under sudo? [03:09] mint3: You commented the line, correct? [03:09] gigabites2: Right. I've done that and restarted, but now the card isn't shown in Device Manager or 'sudo ifconfig' [03:09] to install it i must create *.rules document in /etc/dev/rules.d but i have promishion 2 change it [03:09] no whats it again, gigabites2 ? [03:09] FernandoF: yes, but you're going to end up installing the legacy/binary drivers from nvidia anyway [03:10] evilnick: modprobe [03:10] tvih-: How did you know? ;) [03:10] go0d, have you tried flushing the drive cache on partition C? [03:10] does anyone know the quickest way to add a new harddrive to Ibex? [03:10] i have a prolbem with sound volume....on install it was same as winblozes but now after like 7 weeks the volume is very lox [03:10] can i safely uninstall everything related to bluetooth if my computer doesn't support it? [03:10] FernandoF: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [03:12] gigabites2, - is it "sudo ifconfig #wlan" ? [03:12] mint3: Sorry, ignore that last comment. Do you know if your wireless card is supported? [03:12] evilnick: spent most of yesterday and this night getting my atheros to work ;P [03:12] it has 3 NTFS partitions which I want to keep for now, and I want to mount all of them in a certain dir [03:12] yes i think it is gigabites2 , how can i check tho [03:12] oh and I want to use quotas on it [03:12] evilnick: in the end the only thing that worked was installing the .28 kernel and going from there [03:12] mint3: No, when you type in sudo ifconfig, a wlan entry should show up [03:12] dan__ plz, ask litle simle... i russian =))))) [03:12] How do I find out the drivermodule? [03:12] mint3: Try sudo ifconfig -a [03:12] ok [03:12] evilnick: What you blacklisted [03:12] i have a prolbem with sound volume....on install it was same as winblozes but now after like 7 weeks the volume is very lox [03:12] tvih-: Upgrading the kernel? I'm a bit too much of a novice for that [03:12] mint3: Anything new shows up? [03:12] no [03:12] gigabites2: You're doing a damn good job. Thanks [03:12] i dont see wlan [03:12] hello, when im trying to run virtual box service, it says "no suitable module for running kernel found." how can i fix this? when i run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup it says invalid command [03:12] the electrons must flow freely [03:12] thats odd, how come i could see it earlier and even connect then [03:12] well, not invalid, but that setup isn't valid [03:12] path must be cleared for glorious revolution of bits and bytes [03:12] Does anyone here think they could answer a quick question about Xchat Gnome? #xchat's dead. [03:12] evilnick: simple task with the precompiled kernels, but yeah, well. couldn't get it to work otherwise myself. [03:12] dan__: surely you must visit StackOverflow? :P [03:12] mint3: The card either is not supported or the module isn't loaded. You said you installed a 3rd party module, correct? Do you remember what it was called? It might not be loaded @ boot. [03:12] evilnick: some others have had more luck so i guess you might too [03:12] clearscreen im trying to give support in russian [03:12] all it was a restricted driver [03:12] madwifi i think, gigabites2 [03:12] microman: the command should be "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" exactly like that [03:12] its an atheros wireless card [03:12] mint3: sudo modprobe madwifi [03:12] if you're still looking to upgrade [03:12] dan__: I've read of a story of some programmer making his co-worker secretary believe that it improved electron-flow by picking up the mouse every day and swinging the cord [03:13] how can I login wit root id ? to create document? [03:13] yeah. [03:13] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hog9qGjT0Pw !!!!!!!! [03:13] * evilnick now has wlan0 when running sudo ifconfig [03:13] I did the same, but no result. [03:13] says modprobe command not found gigabites2 [03:13] what did happen ? [03:13] hah. well it couldn't hurt [03:13] Go0dW: su [03:13] stupid sound [03:13] mint3: sudo modprobe? [03:13] I followed the procedure mentioned here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [03:13] and if it just stretched the cord at least it would give the damn particles some exercise [03:13] i have a prolbem with sound volume....on install it was same as winblozes but now after like 7 weeks the volume is very low ubuntu 8.10 [03:13] clearscreen: BOFH? [03:13] gigabites2 run terminal ??? [03:13] yeah that seems to work, gigabites2 [03:13] but still no result. [03:13] evilnick: heh [03:13] but what am i looking for gigabites2 ? [03:13] its not upgrading [03:14] evilnick: i read it on stackoverflow.org :P [03:14] fatal : module madwifi not found [03:14] Go0dW: Yes, terminal. Root is not intended to run with a gui. Sorry.

[03:15] Go0dW: If you want to set the root password, try sudo passwd [03:15] when i go to hardware drivers, i see "aternate atheros madwifi" driver is activated and currently in use [03:15] So, once I have wlan0 showing under ifconfig, what are the next steps to getting the wireless working? [03:15] Go0dW: Otherwise, just su ~ [03:15] I am trying to play a DVD... totem says "does not have the appropriate plugins to be able to read the disk" I can cd to the drive and "ls" fine... what do I need to apt-get? [03:15] ok [03:15] woiw no help? [03:15] microman: afraid thats all I know, you could try downloading the image for Ibex and burning that to a cd, then boot from it and install/upgrade [03:15] Go0dW: Sorry, su - [03:15] evilnick: pray it appears in network manager ;P hehe === nicholas__ is now known as tacosarecool [03:15] evilnick: From terminal or gui?

[03:16] taco go aphla [03:16] Oh yeah by the way I'm on a toshiba satellite a105-s4074 and I don't think I have lag anymore on ubuntu [03:16] mint3: Have you loaded the madwifi module? [03:16] hanasaki: http://littlegirl.hostrator.com/DVDPlayback.html [03:16] Why alpha? [03:16] it says enabled gigabites2 so am assumin it is [03:17] Mencar: I am not certain, but I believe hotmail blocked IMAP access a while ago [03:17] mint3: Does the card show up in ifconfig now? [03:17] thats what I have been reading so far [03:17] gigabites2: I've seen it in terminal (using ifconfig). And can also see it in Network Settings, what I can't do is find how to search for my SSID. [03:17] figured I would come here to see if anyone would know anything [03:17] clearscreen: i am back [03:17] no [03:17] The only alternative would be some kind of plugin that works through HTTP requests and parsing the responses, but I doubt anyone has written or will ever write one :P === heHATEme is now known as vorian [03:17] its not there gigabites2 , i see eth0 and lo [03:17] clearscreen: i got graphics configurations [03:17] "CD/DVD Creator" program problem.

[03:18] ok thanks guys [03:18] evilnick: Well, you can try iwlist from the terminal [03:18] yeah gigabites2 [03:18] nothing shows up with wlan [03:19] mint3: Strange. [03:19] clearscreen: the nvidia pachkage ends with (elts try to translate) "nvidia-glx pack has no candidate for installation" [03:19] yet in the taskbar near the time, there is the wireless bars with a cross on it [03:19] mint3: Because you have ethernet connection. correct? [03:19] tvih-: This could be where I'm going wrong then - I've licked on the network symbol at the top right of the screen and have "Wired Network - Auto eth0" then "Wireless Networks" and no options to pick? [03:19] ive taken off the cable for ethernet [03:19] tvih-: s/licked/clicked/ [03:19] FernandoF: You need to choose a specific nvidia driver [03:19] FernandoF: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [03:19] gigabites2, , i am trying only to use the wireless [03:19] that's the latest driver for intrepid if I'm not mistaken [03:20] evilnick: does it say anything at all under wireless? osomething about not being managed/controlled? [03:20] mint3: Yes, I understand. The lines are there for the ethernet though. I'd recommend ndiswrapper & using the windows driver for you wireless card [03:20] clearscreen: done [03:20] gigabites2, - how can i manage that [03:20] ok, now you can either use dpkg to reconfigure xorg, but it always gives me trouble [03:20] tvih-: Nothing at all. [03:20] why alpha? [03:20] FernandoF: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:20] mint3: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndisgtk [03:20] All: where can I find a driver for a Dell AIO 924 printer for Ubuntu 8.10? [03:20] clearscreen:works fine but just lets behind a long list of packages that are proposed for removal [03:21] yeah that's allright, we'll clean those up later [03:21] FernandoF: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf === randall_ is now known as xrandallx [03:21] evilnick: which method are you using for your driver now btw? madwifi, ndiswrapper or something else? [03:21] tvih-: I have Wireless Networks as if it's a heading and then a divider then VPN Connections [03:21] quantumkenny: If it's not listed in cups, you're probably SOL [03:21] search for Dell AIO 924 in synaptic [03:21] I am connecting to it via the smb protocol/windows share [03:21] is this the same? [03:22] how do i blacklist a module [03:22] tvih-: Am I supposed to use madwifi? I was hoping that it'd work out of the box?

[03:22] gigabites2: it's xorg.conf for me [03:23] Oh, sorry.

[03:23] I'll add madwifi and see if that works [03:23] I said /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:23] not /etc/xorg.conf :P [03:23] you connected wirelessly before on other computers right? [03:24] FernandoF: press CTRL+x [03:24] gigabites2: that file is empty, is that normal? [03:24] mint3: Install your windows driver [03:24] FernandoF: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:24] tacosarecool: Yes [03:24] Barridus: No, there should be a list blacklisted. That's strange.

[03:24] gigabites2, tacosarecool, thanks. [03:24] tacosarecool: I'm connected right now on my Windows laptop (that's where I'm typing from) [03:24] You can use the Windows Wireless Drivers gui under system to do it [03:24] FernandoF: now find where it says Driver "nv" and change it to Driver "nvidia" [03:25] mint3: You can use the Windows Wireless Drivers gui under system to do it [03:25] tacosarecool: My Ubuntu one is an Asus N50Vn [03:25] FernandoF: after you change it, CTRL+O and then CTRL+W [03:25] Barridus: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:25] gigabites2, - i dont see it there [03:25] Barridus: Are you sure you used the correct file? [03:25] i dont see "windows wireless drivers" under "system" [03:25] FernandoF: after you change it, CTRL+O and then CTRL+X (sorry not CTRL+W) [03:26] mint3: in the terminal, type ndiswrapper -l [03:26] it says ndisweapper-utils-1.9 not installed [03:26] evilnick [03:26] mint3: apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [03:26] let me privatley talk to you [03:26] I think I got a solution [03:26] tacosarecool: Sure [03:26] clearscreen:i do not see nv [03:27] FernandoF: He has the default xorg.conf. [03:27] gigabites2, - ok done that [03:27] mint3: try ndiswrapper -l again [03:27] can anyone recommend a paint program for a four year old? [03:27] why doesn't alt+ctrl+[-+] work for changing screen resolution ? [03:27] yeah this time it does not moan, gigabites2 [03:27] how can I get past this to play DVDs? [03:27] libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 4.1.3 [03:27] libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. [03:27] gigabites2: surely he must have a Driver entry with "nv" in his xorg.conf if it explicitly fails to load that module [03:27] clearscreen: word Driver not found after ctrl w [03:28] n2diy: gpaint or xpaint [03:28] FernandoF: try to find "Device" [03:28] clearscreen: Very true. :P But if it automagically creates xorg.conf? [03:28] I have a computer I access remotely and it is booted into Windows which has an Ubuntu partition. I installed support for ext2/ext3 formatted drives, so I can see my Ubuntu partition, and I have edited GRUB to make the computer boot into Ubuntu the next time it restarts. I just need to make sure Remote Desktop is turned on. Is there a config file I can check for this? [03:28] gigabites2: thanks. [03:28] clearscreen: not found nv in this file [03:28] how do i install flash player 10 for 64b linux?

I am just wondering how to switch my java configuration so that it uses Sun Java [03:32] halycon: Remove openjdk & install sun java? [03:32] clearscreen: i am having a graphics step by step configuration [03:32] Why canonical is making a http://start.ubuntu.com/9.04/ more uggly then http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/ ? [03:32] gigabites2, I tried using that update-java-alternatives but I dont know if it switched to using sun or not [03:32] FernandoF: yep that's supposed to happen [03:32] halycon: Do you just want to switch it for your browser? Or across the whole system? [03:33] gigabites2, the whole system [03:33] FernandoF: you can press enter for most options, default option option is usually the correct one [03:33] FernandoF: just make sure you select "nvidia" when you get to the screen where you can select a driver [03:33] halycon: I don't have experience doing that, but in my opinion, it should be as simple as uninstalling openjdk & then installing sun java [03:33] FernandoF: Which Ubuntu release are you using? [03:33] gigabites2: can ya help me find that 64 bits version? [03:33] I am using Eclipe and it doesn't work with any other thing except for Sun Java [03:33] clearscreen: not this option [03:34] halycon: with update-alternatives [03:34] little 8.10 [03:34] tritium: He apparently tried that. [03:34] it ends on keybord selecton [03:34] ChotaZ: You can also use a plugin wrapper.. hold on a second [03:34] gigabites2, halycon: there are multiple java-related alternatives [03:34] how will i find the driver, gigabites2 ? [03:35] halycon: which alternatives did you change? ls /etc/alternatives/java*, and you'll see that there are a few [03:35] Download it from the vendor site or use the cd that came with the card [03:35] FernandoF: Actually, I believe the nvidia-glx automatically configures your xorg configuration, I could be wrong though [03:35] clearscreen: it ends on a keyboard selection and i can not go further as no option there [03:35] mint3: Download it from the vendor site or use the cd that came with the card [03:35] FernandoF: I wrote a step by step guide on how to install the NVIDIA driver in Ubuntu and Kubuntu, but I'm not sure it would work for 8.10: http://littlegirl.hostrator.com/NvidiaDriverHowTo.html [03:35] FernandoF: do you get the same error if you press startx now? [03:35] halycon, you used the synaptic package manager to get the sun version? [03:35] its inbuilt in the laptop, gigabites2 [03:36] flippo, yeah I have it installed [03:36] Type nvidia-xconfig [03:36] mint3: lspci | grep Network [03:36] As root [03:36] mint3: Should tell you the model [03:36] little: please don't recommend non-ubuntu packaged nvidia drivers here, unless you're prepared to be here 24/7 to support your method. [03:36] clearscreen: Fatal server error: no screens found [03:36] there was an update to one of the alternatives and it changed after the update was done [03:36] halycon, funny, that was enough to get sun java as the default everywhere, for me. [03:37] FernandoF: if you still get the same error when you run "startx", run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" as suggest above [03:37] how do I open files as root? in the terminal? [03:37] doesnt show anything actually gigabites2 [03:37] clearscreen: try nvidia-xconfig? [03:37] yup [03:37] mint3: case sensitive? [03:37] i preformed a sudo apt-get upgrade and my console is now all jumbled... it is configuring console setup and asking for encoding on the console. [03:37] what do i do? [03:37] hi im trying to learn raid and LVM, which should come first in a fresh installation LVM or Raid? [03:38] I have java-6-openjdk, java-6-sun, java-gcj and am not quite sure how to switch it to use the Java from sun [03:38] FernandoF: it'll probably ask if it can write changes to your xorg file, accept it [03:38] tritium: We've been using them for three years here without a hitch and they're supported by NVIDIA, with a links to some of their support on the page. [03:38] how do i know which encoding to select? [03:38] little: irrelevant. Please don't recommend them *here*, in this channel. [03:38] lantay77: ASCII is a safe bet. utf8 if you want support for accents, etc [03:38] simple: Sudo , or su -c "" [03:39] all i have is a bunch of ISO's KOI TIS and UTF-8 [03:39] lantay77: go for utf-8 [03:39] i dont know which one to pick [03:39] ok [03:39] Is there a way to see what partition a particular directory maps back to?

[03:39] oh i also have VISCII [03:39] puff: or /etc/mtab if it's pnp [03:40] halycon, sudo update-alternative --config java sorry [03:40] FernandoF: lol, ok [03:40] halycon, err update-alternatives, sigh [03:40] FernandoF: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:40] find Section "Device" [03:40] halycon: as I recommended to you earlier [03:40] gigabites2: Hm, well, I can't see /home anywhere in there. [03:41] gigabites2: Is there a way, given a directory (e.g. "/home") to track back to where it comes from?

I probably have the wrong name.

You have achieved a new peak of 1314 users for #ubuntu! [03:58] great kitche ... keep your Police task , despite I would rather appreciate energy concentrated fo find a solution :) .... [03:58] FernandoF: I think there's something seriously wrong with your xorg install, you can try to reinsstall it [03:58] i think the person i was talking may have left the room. he was helping me untar something into a dir folder he had me made but i get an error when i untar along the line Cannot open: No such file or directory can someone just direct me to a how to or good wiki on how to do this. I can not remember if i want to be in the folder i want it to goto or the folder that contains the file i am untaring [03:58] donjuanluis07: ftw is magic jack [03:58] gigabites2 that- for the mount point. my problem is in /dev [03:58] FernandoF: sudo apt-get purge xorg && sudo apt-get install xorg < after that run nvidia-xconfig again [03:58] yes major win is the magic jack [03:58] clearscreen: volunteerly my dear friend [03:58] n8tuser do you know whci file specifiaclly? a checked several and none have anything about cdrom [03:59] could someone help me get mythtv up and running? [03:59] your orders? [03:59] can anybody help me out with "create a usb startup disk"? [03:59] what is a good SFTP/FTP client for ubuntu? [03:59] jamiejackson: sure [03:59] FernandoF: well the whole hostname issue is because you do not have the hostname in /etc/hosts [03:59] clearscreen: please line command [03:59] bluenzo^nix: nautilus works, so does filezilla [03:59] Hilikus-> its the udev rules, rules can be found int /etc/udev/rules.d [03:59] bluenzo^nix: filezilla [03:59] In Jaunty, will there be a clean way to upgrade existing ext3 partitions to the new ext4? [03:59] ty iceroot and ziroday [03:59] donjuanluis07: that was a question [03:59] okay, ziroday. i tried it on the stick while it was still factory formatted, it went throgh the isntall just fine, but machine wouldn't boot it. [04:00] fz [04:00] FernandoF: kitche might know what's going on, what does cat /etc/hosts say? [04:00] hi, i deactivated cleartype for most gnome apps, however a couple of apps still seem to have activated it (eg. opera/ kde apps) anyone knows how to fix this? [04:00] nick761: not really, you won't get the speed bonuses unless you recreate all your files [04:00] jamiejackson: okay, what computer do you have? [04:00] merkur: kcontrol or systemsettings (they're kde settings apps) [04:00] ah, I see [04:00] ziroday: so first question, is it kosher/recommended that it be installed into a fat32 partition? cuz that's what it seems to want to do. dell d620 laptop [04:00] FernandoF: at least that was the error you were getting with the remove with xorg [04:00] Hilikus-> maybe 30-cdrom_id.rules? [04:01] gigabites2, thx for the fast response, will take a look at them! [04:01] ziroday: i should note that i'm trying this with a jaunty image [04:01] GOOD NIGTH PPL [04:01] 127.0.0.1 localhost [04:01] FernandoF: is there a line that says "127.0.0.1 (your-hostname)" [04:01] below that? [04:01] jamiejackson: am not sure about what partition it should of installed to, but yes fat32 should be fine [04:01] n8tuser i chekde that one but it doesn't have anything that looks like a string "cdrom*" [04:01] jamiejackson: what you need to make sure is that your BIOS knows to boot from the thumbdrive [04:01] clearscreen: 127.0.0.1 Malhada-Xibas.sol [04:01] it can boot from other bootable thumbdrives, ziroday [04:01] jamiejackson: am I making sense? [04:01] yeah [04:01] clearscreen: and it is all [04:01] Hilikus-> well look around, should be there.. grep the whole dir [04:02] can anyone tell me how to open archive manager as root from the command line so i can untar a packege to a protect folder [04:02] FernandoF: I dont think .sol is supposed to be there :P [04:02] n8tuser thats what i was thinking, ill try that, thanks [04:02] slimjim: just use tar from the terminal [04:02] FernandoF: unless that's actually your hostname [04:02] jamiejackson: okay, so its just this thumbdrive. Err in theory it should work with a jaunty iso but I'm not certain, having never tried it myself [04:02] ziroday: does the "create a usb startup disk" make the partition bootable as part of its process? [04:02] jamiejackson: yes [04:02] slimjim: tar -xvzf [04:02] gigabites2 i did that but got a erro meesage [04:02] slimjim: gksu archieve-manager but you can just do sudo tar -xvf -C [04:03] ok [04:03] thanks [04:03] jamiejackson: have you tried doing it from a jaunty livecd? [04:03] clearscreen: it is as sol is my network name and Malhada-Xibas is the host name ...so all machines in network recognize it [04:03] Magic jack is a VoIP via USB phone service that costs about $20 a year for unlimited local and long distance calling [04:03] FernandoF: well your hostname is messed up actually in your /etc/hosts [04:03] no, ziroday, think i should try that? also should i reformat the stick? [04:03] may I had a new entry there? [04:04] Good day to you all:) [04:04] jamiejackson: yeah that would be a good idea, as for reformatting your thumbdrive you shouldn't have to but you might as well :) [04:04] thanks gigabiets and kitche [04:04] FernandoF: should look like this 127.0.0.1 Malhada-Xibas Malhada-Xibsa.sol [04:04] How can I add more data to my DVD, I have cd/dvd creator and gnomebaker [04:04] ziroday: and back to fat32, the way it came?

If you mastered your DVD on the first burn, it's done. [04:06] jamiejackson: sure [04:06] FernandoF: but yeah, according to the /etc/hosts documentation, it should be 127.0.0.1 (hostname) (alias) [04:06] DesiArnez6: What I meant is, there's such thing as multi-session formatting that allows you to change data for 20mb or so per write. But if you mastered it from the start, you can't add to it.

The card is a 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [04:22] gigabites2: I am not speaking about Ctrl+Alt+F7. Rather, about Alt+F7. [04:22] how do i do that gigabites2 ? [04:22] gigabites2, i saved it in "documents" am in the folder right now [04:22] bullgard4: for me, it attempts to "move" the focused window [04:22] brandon___: what do you want to do, create a blank file? [04:22] mint3: You can use "ls" to determine the files in your current directory [04:22] http://chat.xlivetchat.com ;) [04:22] mint3: cd can be used to change directories [04:23] am usin file browser, gigabites2 [04:23] oh.. [04:23] clearscreen: Is this an X feature or a GNOME feature? [04:23] bullgard4: gnome [04:23] ok am in the terminal in that directory, gigabites2 [04:23] bullgard4: It depends on your window manager [04:23] mint3: Ok, now.. [04:24] clearscreen: Thank you for your help. [04:24] just to make sure, settings, add ons, configurations of applications are all stored in your home directory right? so backing up you /home backs up everything you need? or are there some other directories you'd need to backup as well?

[04:25] jamiejackson: okay. [04:25] FernandoF: Maybe you need to change the permissions [04:26] same reply, gigabites2 [04:26] bonez46: You can install kubuntu as it would be from the live cd w/ apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [04:26] gigabites2: Well, this may be true. But firstly I am interested in knowing what the effect is in the default Ubuntu 8.04.2 installation. [04:26] what isa good gui based tool for ftp/scp ? [04:26] jamiejackson: now what? [04:26] "all confg files need .conf : /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in future release [04:26] FernandoF: CTRL + ALT + F2, log in again [04:26] hanasaki: filezilla [04:26] gigabites2 can you point me in the right direction for i belive they are called winglets or something like that. those little things that hang out on the desktop like your cpu and system monitor and network analizer and that kinda of stuff [04:26] bullgard4: Try it. I don't think it's mapped by default [04:26] clearscreen: do you need all message or that runs a bell? [04:26] brandon___: the file is created, you wanted to create a blank file right? so you're done [04:26] slimjim: screenlets [04:26] says the same thing again, gigabites2 [04:26] FernandoF: just CTRL+ALT+F2, log in again [04:27] slimjim: Desklets. I also recommend conky if that's what you want [04:27] mint3: I'm not sure why.. Strange. [04:27] gigabites2: ok, what if i wanted to install, say.. suse.. or fedora.. I realize both wouldn't run simultaneously.. but can I install several different os's.. [04:27] bonez46: you can partition space for them, and then install them to that partition [04:27] FernandoF: after that, "sudo ls -l /etc/dbus-1/session.d" [04:27] bonez46: Sure. Do you mean virtualization or dual-booting? [04:27] clearscreen: ctrl alt f2 does nothing [04:27] :(( [04:27] ok conky does the same thing [04:27] FernandoF: Should change you to tty2 [04:28] dual booting [04:28] hi guys [04:28] irc2.xLivetChat.com 6667 [04:28] bonez46: you can partition space for the new OS, then install it via the distro's installer [04:28] bonez46: Set partition space for them & do separate installs. Grub will handle the booting stuff [04:28] or , if i want to install Ultimate Ubuntu... [04:28] gigabites2: Your recipe is not practical. To test every single bit in a computer oneself one would need more than a lifespan. Thus theories have been created. Theories are very practical. Not so your advice. [04:28] FernandoF: what do you see now? :P [04:28] ok... [04:28] i think my boys will like this Ultimate package..

[04:51] FernandoF: quickest way to get your files to your windows PC (if you dont have an external harddrive), is to install WinSCP on your windows PC and install openssh-server on your linux pc [04:51] FernandoF: If so, then you can just not format your home [04:51] no im not sure what that is [04:51] No partitions on my computer [04:52] beardy, http://pastebin.com/f576539d [04:52] Jesse_Robinson: http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/ [04:52] I disagree.

I am having problems installing ubuntu; it won't detect the ide hard disk. I've tried booting with all_ide_generic and tried modprobe ide-generic but no luck. Any ideas? Can I perhaps install it using the os(gentoo) that's on the machine now? [05:11] ok thanks [05:11] thanks [05:11] thank you so much! [05:11] slimjim: your config file is ~/.conkyrc you probably download a premade one though [05:11] gigabites2 i hate to be a pain and dont mean to heckle you, thanks for all your help [05:12] slimjim: It's cool. [05:12] gigabites2 that is why i like the ubuntu group, i was using dreamlinux but not much support and deiban channel was not all the helpfull either this group has always been there when i need help [05:12] greetings [05:12] hcMyth: I have sometimes had more luck changing the access mode from auto to large/lba in the bios [05:12] What's faster, accessing Virtual Machines on a Network Share (IDE hard-drive) or accessing Virtual Machines via FUSE (NTFS-3g on SATA hard-drive)?

[05:13] mun: should be labeled in fstab [05:13] hcMyth: I only run it on server.. for any desktop purpose ubuntu is the way to go imo [05:14] gigabites2 ok conky just display right now my cpu and ram and swap so what is the one i can use to display like a weather alert or something like that. sorta like vi$ta has the sidebar [05:14] although i've had some disappointing results with vmware and ntfs-3g: one tip, pre-allocate the data [05:14] clearscreen: Thanks. [05:14] ntfs-3g performs really badly if it has to dynamically allocate the data [05:14] gigabite2 done but has some messages [05:14] so do you think windows will boot now gigabites2? [05:14] gigabites2, basically i've got a new hard drive which is now a slave and i'm trying to setup fstab. should it use 0 1 or 2? [05:15] slimjim: Yes, it's possible. It requires some scripting knowledge though. Try using the conky website. They have pre-made configurations there. [05:15] Hello... ;) [05:15] gigabite2 wrong fs type [05:15] gigabites2: you might have to specify the FS type after all [05:15] It's of little relevance mun, that's only the order fsck checks [05:15] Does anybody know a solution to the 8.10+Nvidia=blank screen solution?

PIO is ridiculously slow [05:17] gigabite2 send me a command to address it [05:17] yes but my harddisk won't be detected during linux install gigabite [05:17] hcMyth: no the module should have some additional option.. let me look [05:17] So during install someone suggested changing the mode might help [05:17] FernandoF: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk [05:17] helped me before [05:17] I tried envyng as well as installing it myself and I end up with a blank screen at login.

[05:44] Blah, screw this... I'm rolling back to 8.04 [05:44] well, I suppose I'm ok using live cd until I figure it out [05:45] yinlong: Im sorry, what was your issue? [05:45] I don't know, I'm a noob....did we do that clearscreen? [05:45] tonit: sudo gedit /tmp/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:45] copy and paste all that to www.pastebin.com [05:45] clearscreen, thx, i didnt know the path [05:45] how do I get out of the GUI nano? [05:46] issue? [05:46] tonit: ctrl+x [05:46] yinlong: What did you need help with? [05:47] k [05:47] gigabites2:our school use "Feelient" [05:48] mtholdenss, Have you considered mounting it with uid/gid options to specify a particular user as the owner of the files? === thefuzzball is now known as TheFuzzball [05:49] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [05:49] grr....spam posted [05:49] Wow. [05:49] link? :P [05:49] That was....fast [05:50] Supertanker, its a bot [05:50] no, no link yet [05:50] I'm pretty sure that's a very old bug in mIRC btw ^^ [05:50] How to review the boot log? i got some mistake after compiled a kernel. [05:50] gigabites2:i use wine to install the Feeclient without internet ,but cant use the Feeclient then,can you help me? [05:50] Kelen, should be in /var/log [05:50] hello all [05:50] Hello [05:50] hi [05:50] Kelen dmesg [05:51] any software to convert audio bit rate [05:51] Kelen, should be in /var/log/boot [05:51] pawan1234, have you tried Audacity? [05:51] Kelen, /var/log/boot [05:51] I believe it can do that. [05:51] no [05:51] here's link: http://pastebin.com/m79a72b60 [05:51] Supertanker, yes, it can [05:51] It's in the Universe repos, I believe. Audacity is a free sound editor. [05:51] It may or may not have batch editing too; let me check. [05:52] Eh if it does I don't recall how to use it [05:52] pawan1234, I think Audacity is what you're looking for. [05:52] Incarus: the boot is nothing in my case. [05:52] who knows how to set the IP ? [05:53] anyone aware of a good gui temperature monitor that may or may not rely on lm-sensors? [05:53] clearscreen, the screeen resolution is not in the xorg.conf file, should be bug [05:53] yinlong, "sudo dhclient3" [05:53] I thought all the monitors used lm-sensors [05:54] ok, the strange thing is - I installed nwn and it did the same thing. I changed my screen res to see if it would help. [05:54] Kelen, k [05:54] dr_willis:i need the steps clearly [05:54] yinlong: ifconfig, and if you want a more permanent solution: /etc/network/interfaces [05:54] billybigrigger, conky? I don't use it, but a friend recommended it to me. [05:54] Incarus: the odd thing is, I dont have any resolutions in my xorg.conf file too :P [05:55] either* [05:55] clearscreen, he could paste the /MOUNTPOINT/var/log/Xorg.0.log file [05:55] I'm having trouble getting my Radeon X1200 installed. I can't seem to download drivers; I was told the radeonHD drivers would work for me. Is that true, and what do I do after installing xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd? [05:55] hmmm. [05:55] (specifically what changes do I need to make to xorg.conf?) [05:55] billybigrigger_-> add hardware monitor to a pane; [05:55] clearscreen: the program is the Listen media player in xubuntu, i can't get it to close [05:55] panel [05:55] clearscreen, yes, that is ok, because ubuntu recognize the screen resolution automatically [05:56] clearscreen:yes ,i did this,but after that ,i checked it ,the ip is the same [05:56] Incarus: I realize that, but tonit specifically stated that he got a garbled screen after CHANGING the resolution from within ubuntu [05:56] surely it must be stored somewhere [05:56] billybigrigger, I installed gkrellm, but it seems to be a bit of a hog. [05:56] correct [05:56] Anusien, "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [05:56] (she) [05:56] oh, sorry :) === arvind__ is now known as arvind_khadri [05:57] I'm not sure how ubuntu manages resolution outside of the "allowed modes" that xorg.conf prescribes [05:57] where can i find good documents regarding xen [05:58] Anusien, then go to <
> and if there is a line with "Driver", then change the thing after Driver to "radenhd" [05:58] tonit, which graphic card do u use? [05:58] man xen [05:59] good question ...lemme think [05:59] I installed jaunty to usb stick. updated via update mgr, rebooted, now I'm at some initramfs prompt. what do I do now? [05:59] clearscreen, are you sure that that was the correct xorg.conf? [05:59] jamiejackson: the jaunty support channel is #ubuntu+1 [05:59] clearscreen, i think it whas the file from linux live cd [05:59] DOes ATI sound right? [06:00] not the newest one tho [06:00] k [06:00] Incarus: nah, I made him mount his linux partition to /tmp/local [06:00] clearscreen, ok [06:01] tonit, can you paste "ls /tmp/local/var/log/Xorg.0.log"? [06:02] tonit: sorry, I meant "I made her" [06:02] Incarus do you really mean the output of ls? [06:02] kernel09l-> http://bits.xensource.com/Xen/docs/user.pdf [06:02] haha [06:02] !chown [06:02] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I'm trying to find how-to for chown on external storage devices,. [06:04] (II) VESA(0): VBESetVBEMode failed...Tried again without customized values. [06:04] Anybody happen to know how to use OpenThinClient? [06:04] hi [06:04] hello [06:04] i have a wierd problem .. ubuntu cant update itself always has an error connecting to its update sites [06:04] kinja-sheep, chown on external storage devices? Why? What are you trying to do? [06:05] vegombrei: what version of ubuntu are you using? [06:05] Does anyone know of a program that enables two fingered scrolling? [06:05] I currently Dual-boot XP and Ubuntu, but I want to get rid of XP, and install a new copy of Ubuntu, how should I go about doing this? [06:05] hey is there a irc channel to just help designers build programs? [06:05] RussM_: Can't modify the files on USB. Need to re-acquire ownership. [06:05] vegombrei: whats the error? [06:05] Brando753: ##programming? [06:06] gren420: I believe it requires X changes which are now in jaunty (the next release) [06:06] clearscreen, the audit errors aren't nice [06:06] tonit: reboot into your ubuntu installation (not live CD) - there press CTRL+ALT+F2 and login - after that enter: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg", set your resolution to something lower.. this should work :P [06:06] thanks clearscreen, I'll give it a shot [06:06] can anyone give suggestions? I currently Dual-boot XP and Ubuntu, but I want to get rid of XP, and install a new copy of Ubuntu, how should I go about doing this? [06:06] When i try to add video file in DeVeDe on ubuntu 8.10 it closes i have tried the version from the repo's and the latest version and they both do the same thing [06:07] kinja-sheep, You mean the files on the USB drive aren't owned by you, and you can't change them, but you want to have ownership of them so you can read them? [06:07] clearscreen, an why do he heave vesa drivers with ati? [06:07] crdlb I think its a touchpad program I used to use it but I can't remember the name [06:07] RussM_: That's it. [06:07] kevin_zhongg: when installing you can tell ubuntu to use the whole disk [06:07] kinja-sheep, Can you mount the USB drive with uid and gid options? [06:07] Incarus: that's another issue :P [06:07] I should install it from a burned CD with Ubuntu, correct? [06:07] pretender, start it on a terminal and give us the output [06:07] clearscreen, k [06:07] kevin_zhongg: yep [06:08] because I have it right now through WIndows Wubi [06:08] Incarus: hopefully she comes back so it can be fixed :D [06:08] thanks clearscreen! [06:08] k [06:08] RussM_: Not sure. I'm looking for chown, I know it, but I want to be sure. [06:08] ziroday: Thanks :P [06:08] gren420: hmm, maybe the synaptics driver can do it, but I didn't think it could. two-finger scroll is enabled by default in jaunty though [06:09] kinja-sheep, chmod [06:09] can I install Ubuntu 32 bit version into a 64 bit pc? [06:09] crdlb I see well I'll just enable it with the xorg.conf [06:09] Incarus: The USB itself? [06:09] kevin_zhongg, yes, that would work [06:09] kevin_zhongg: of course you can [06:09] hi [06:09] Well [06:09] kinja-sheep, just the files you need to use [06:10] Hi everyone [06:10] ok, because right now I have 64 bit, and a lot of programs on Ubuntu aren't compatible, or I have to do a bunch of other stuff to get them to work [06:10] i'm trying to get files off my laptop..... i did sudo /etc/init.d/samba start and my laptop doesn't come up on my desktop [06:10] kinja-sheep, oh, do you use jaunty? [06:10] here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/139336/ [06:10] Anyone familiar with OpenThinClients? [06:11] Incarus: No. Intrepid. Why? I'm confident this have to do with chown, not chmod. [06:12] kinja-sheep i thougt chmod would also help [06:12] Incarus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139336/ here it is [06:12] pretender, yes, i know [06:12] pretender, let it break and paste again [06:12] there we go [06:13] hi, did an update today break mousetweaks? [06:13] can someone tell me how port 8001 fixes the router exploit? [06:13] my touchpad scrolling is no longer working [06:13] anyone tried that latest fglrx 9.3 and been able to get it to suspend properly? [06:13] bluenzo^nix: only port 6667 is vulnerable in most cases [06:13] homerhomer, do you use jaunty? [06:14] nope [06:14] really? i didnt think DCC has anything to do with the ircd port [06:14] Incarus: I got it. Chown. ;o Thanks. Why do you ask about Jaunty? ;o [06:14] bluenzo^nix: most routers and firewalls only check port 6667 for dcc requests due to that port being the main one used for irc [06:14] Incarus: Intrep [06:14] <_VIM_> !exploit | bluenzo^nix [06:14] bluenzo^nix: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit [06:14] bluenzo^nix: irc is used for negotiating dcc [06:14] hello, excuse me i need help setting up my Screen resolution for my ubuntu 8.10 can i please get some help? [06:14] kinja-sheep, no, k [06:14] lstarnes, so on my own ircd server, if i connect to a different port than 6667, it wont affect me? [06:14] bluenzo^nix: it shouldn't affect you [06:15] _VIM_: im looking for a more direct answer, thanks tho [06:15] lstarnes: okay dokie :) [06:15] bluenzo^nix: the server must offer a port other than 6667 though [06:15] Crazylink, you have to set up drivers first [06:15] lstarnes: thats fine thanks [06:15] <_VIM_> you're quite welcome :P [06:15] incarus: im new to 8.10 im scared to touch it mind helping me out? [06:16] Crazylink, yes, what graphic card do you have? [06:17] Incarus: Gforce 6150 LE [06:17] anyone here into overclocking? [06:17] i am billybigrigger a little :P [06:18] Crazylink: you in good luck not having ATI [06:18] bluenzo^nix, what do you use for system monitors? [06:18] i dislike ATI [06:18] in which directory wallpapers are stored in ubuntu [06:18] "the following installtion problem was detected while trying to start KDE" No write access to /root/.ICauthority kde is unable to start [06:18] billybigrigger: for monitoring what, temps? [06:18] why do i get this [06:18] temps, fans, vcore [06:18] bluenzo^nix, just all around sys monitoring [06:18] bluenzo^nix, and what kind of cpu do you have? [06:18] billybigrigger: everest has a LOT of features, but i dunno if its available for nix, i had it on windows [06:18] How do i add the current programs open to my taskbar [06:19] im wondering if i did a good OC here [06:19] hehe [06:19] like how it shows whats open on the bottom. i accidently deleted my panel and i need it back D: [06:19] Crazylink: go to System, Administraton, click on "Hardware Drivers" and see if the Nvidia driver is installed [06:19] billybigrigger: which CPU do you have? I have Intel Q9300 [06:19] Crazylink, this should help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [06:20] Crazylink, after doing that you can reboot and your resolution should be correct [06:20] Incarus: thank you very much [06:20] billybigrigger_-> add to panel hardware monitor [06:20] Crazylink, np [06:20] amd x2 5000 (2.6ghz stock) running at 3.4ghz, vcore bumped up 100mv to 1.46, stressing it atm, been running for about 20 mins now, not seeing anything over 40c [06:20] homerhomer, i think ati got a better linux support [06:20] billybigrigger: I have "EVEREST Ultimate Engineer Edition v4.60.1578 Portable" but its for windows I think... [06:20] Incarus: Really? [06:20] Incarus: brb while i read [06:20] here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/139338/ after it closes [06:20] bluenzo^nix, try Phoronix Test Suite [06:21] in which directory wallpapers are stored [06:21] billybigrigger: 40c is fine for load temps [06:21] I think ati and nvidia bothneed tobe slapped around a bit :) [06:21] Crazylink, what is brb? [06:21] Incarus: I have had nothing but issue with my ATI card on my laptop. [06:21] bluenzo^nix, just want to know why lm-sensors has 2 temps for each core? [06:21] is there any way to change the format of the time displayed, atm is is Sat Mar 28, 17:20, i'd like it to so Saturday, 28th March, 17:21 [06:21] Incarus: and my Nvidia on my desktop has been smooth as silk [06:21] Core0 Temp: +24.0°C [06:21] Core0 Temp: +37.0°C [06:21] Core1 Temp: +20.0°C [06:21] Core1 Temp: +15.0°C [06:21] billybigrigger_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:21] homerhomer, ati dont want to support the old cards [06:21] billybigrigger_, I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing one is a mobo sensor and one is a sensor on/in the die itself. [06:21] sorry, thought that would go in 1 line [06:22] My dual-core only has one temp each. [06:22] billybigrigger: are you on windows or nix? [06:22] no, i have MB Temp, 44c === sauvin_ is now known as Sauvin [06:22] Incarus: did you say that you installed fglrx 9.3 on Jaunty? [06:22] I think [06:22] Lemme look [06:22] well i am in an #ubuntu channel no? :P im in nix [06:22] Yeah, one temp per core [06:22] hmmm [06:22] homerhomer, no, not really, i use SiS [06:22] billybigrigger: There are some good windows monitoring tools, but i have NO clue about nix's tools lol [06:22] billybigrigger_, are you using an Intel CPU, per chance? [06:22] amd x2 [06:22] i cant get the resolution for console mode to change, ive tried editing menu.lst which now causes grub to throw and error at boot and have me choose a mode, but none of them work [06:22] Incarus: bah ha ha [06:22] My Amd Athlon X2 on this particular mobo has one sensor per CPU core [06:22] Supertanker, look up a bit [06:23] " NO WRITE ACCESS TO '/root/.ICEauthority" cant load Kde anyhelp? [06:23] billybigrigger_, oh, odd [06:23] It might be your mobo then [06:23] I has a cheap HP mobo [06:23] homerhomer, what the? i got direct screen rendering and 3d things [06:23] homerhomer, its good [06:23] no, i have a decent asus mobo [06:23] ness: what are you trying to run? and what does it ahve to do with 'root' [06:23] billybigrigger: you normally have one temp per core, dunno whats up with urs lol... [06:24] i have core0 x 2 core1 x2 mb temp, cpu temp fan speed, gpu temp, [06:24] Incarus: I'm jealous, how about suspend? does it work [06:24] not trying to run, anything just cant load kde [06:24] I have a Dell Vostro 1710 with Nvidia GeForce 8600M and am yet to find a viable video driver solution for Intrepid. The open source driver works, but doesn't support video, and the closed source driver works but intermittently bombs. Any recommended video driver solutions apart from running ubuntu under vmware in a competing operating system????? [06:24] ness, "sudo chmod 777 /root/.ICEauthority" [06:24] well maybe its an average? like a low and hi temp for each core, for a certain time period? [06:24] billybigrigger_, is there any seperate 'mobo' temperature? [06:24] homerhomer, in intrepid, but not in jaunty [06:24] Supertanker, yes [06:24] billybigrigger: no idea, average isnt a good idea to go by either lol [06:24] i can post a screenshot of lm-sensors [06:24] Oh [06:24] billybigrigger_, my only guess is that it's got an internal sensor for each core and an external one on the mobo [06:25] Incarus: I guess, free has its price. [06:25] CaneToad, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [06:25] Sorry I'm not much more help :/ [06:25] how to change default background wallpapers directory to some other directory [06:25] Incarus: i have to reboot ill be right back [06:25] homerhomer, but its more secure [06:25] http://pastebin.com/m1a803463 [06:25] Crazylink, k [06:25] cross yoru fingers for me :D [06:25] k [06:25] Incarus: I agree, I'm sticking with nix. [06:26] sudo chmod 777 /root/.ICEauthority i get chmod cannot access /root/.ICEauthority input/output error [06:26] Crazylink: good luck [06:26] ness, lol [06:26] yes lol Incarus haha [06:26] ness: why are you doing that anyway? [06:26] ness, kde is starting with root rights (i think), so it should have permission [06:27] chmod 600 should suffice [06:27] im using backtrack not ubuntu i can load flux but not kde [06:27] everything was working fine untill i logged out without shutting down [06:28] ness, BackTrack is Slackware GNU/Linux, wrong chat [06:28] I thought it was a knoppix fork :x [06:29] ness, or do you use backtrack 4? [06:29] nah its 3 [06:29] pawan1234-> just click add and choose what ever directory you want (i have a wallpaper directory in my home) [06:29] soo close to getting my drivers to install. then this crap happens [06:30] ness, you could try the backtrack 4 live cd, it got a debian core [06:30] dvd* [06:30] Ah, I think I found the proprietary drivers. ATI makes one set of drivers that support a large number of cards, but they don't list it for each card... [06:30] ness if it says input/output errro.. i would fsck the filesystems [06:30] how do i enable framebuffer in intrepid? [06:30] I'm trying to set up GNUPanel. It's asking for my public ip, but it's dynamic. What can I give it? [06:30] Anusien, k [06:30] im running on wmware atm could this be why [06:30] !framebuffer [06:30] Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [06:31] ness: no idea. fsck the filesytems and see if they checkout ok [06:31] rapiddachshund, maybe 127.0.0.1? [06:32] Incarus: It's already asked for my internal address. Would that mess it up? [06:32] how's it going guys [06:32] rapiddachshund, dont know [06:32] fsck 1.39 (29-may-2006) ? [06:32] im back [06:32] ness, wow, thats old [06:33] x_X [06:33] ness, try backtrack 4 [06:33] i have to go [06:33] bye [06:33] Speaking of fscking, you know that file system scan after every 30 mounts on reboot? Can I manually run fsck to reset that counter, cause I hate having to hit Esc everytime at bootup [06:34] faeryan: you could just let it run on boot, it doesn't try to do it for the luls, you know [06:34] backtrack4 hard to install with wmware for a newb? ;p [06:34] its Best to LET it scan [06:34] hmmm i tured on the driver that was under my hardware drivers and rebooted and no difference [06:34] eqisow: I know, but I'd rather do it while computing instead of having to wait for it to do it while I'm waiting. [06:35] have patience.. and yes. that every 30 is settable via tune2fs command [06:35] faeryan_: you dont fsck mounted filesystem normally [06:35] faeryan_: afaik it can be dangerous to run fsck on mounted fs [06:35] Ah crap.. Gotta let it run then. Thanks. [06:36] yes - LET it run [06:36] faeryan_-> look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=295262 [06:36] where is thunderbird back up file [06:37] Thanks quibbler. I'll give that a looksee [06:37] Crazylink: you should try to change the resolution [06:37] i have a wierd problem .. ubuntu cant update itself always has an error connecting to its update sites [06:37] i tried [06:37] still gives me the same options [06:37] hmm [06:37] johninlex-> what do you mean? [06:38] ziroday: sorry for the late response but im using the latest intrepid version of ubuntu [06:38] vegombrei: Sure your sources.list has the right addresses? [06:38] johninlex: your best bet is somewhere at ~/.mozilla/thunderbird [06:39] faeryan_: how do i do that ? [06:39] when i try to execute './manage' i get command not found...looking for help [06:39] faeryan_: i mean i kow where the update info is but what do i compare it to ? [06:39] vegombrei: Easiest one I think is to type on terminal: "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [06:40] joelar: if 'manage' is a command in teh curreet directory and executable that would be correct... aparently somthing is wrong [06:40] vegombrei: You could google for ubuntu sources.list and compare it with those [06:40] Crazylink: how you feel about Terminal? [06:40] thanks clearscreen [06:40] homerhomer: i went system > admin > hardware drivers and turned on the grapics driver there rebooted and nothing [06:40] faeryan_: also it says the public key isnt available .. whats that mean ? [06:40] anyone here running ubuntu entirely on an apple, macbook pro to be specific... [06:40] im not scared to use it as long as i know what commands im throwing in there [06:40] i have a manage.py dr_willis that's all [06:41] vegombrei: The source address hasn't been verified so you'd have to do it manually, but it shouldn't cause errors while updating so that's another matter. [06:41] the full command from the instructions i'm trying to follow is './manage shell' they don't mention executing [06:41] Crazylink: Good [06:41] ..'python manage.py shell' [06:41] iv used it before but when it comes to those commands im a newbe [06:41] joelar: then the proper command to run it is NOT ./manage it MIGHT be python manage.py [06:41] homerhomer: but if there are directions with the commands i can do it [06:41] hrm, ok - thx for your attn dr_willis [06:42] Crazylink: okay [06:42] faeryan_: could you help me with this ? [06:42] vegombrei: Be sure to note there's your country marker in those addresses right after http part and that the end of the address has the Ubuntu version you are running, for example Intrepid [06:42] Anyone know why my terminal settings wont save? (window size) [06:43] vegombrei: Or you could post your sources.list info on pastebin [06:43] Crazylink: what resolution are you getting [06:43] homerhomer: just 640 x 480 and 320 x 240 [06:44] so you can see why i want to fix this lol [06:44] ouch, what resolution does your monitor support [06:44] anyone? :( [06:44] Hi there, I'm trying to put my /boot partition on a usb drive and I'm trying to test it. Can I change the boot= line in lilo.conf to the USB drive and run lilo -v without affecting my current /boot partition? [06:45] that im not to sure on because it was given to me but i know i can get into1280×1024 at the least [06:45] okay, [06:45] hey [06:45] hola [06:45] q tal [06:46] alguien por ahi?? [06:46] which is what i normaly like it at, i like my desktop tight small and crisp if that helps [06:46] yoley: This is mainly an english speaking channel. Look for a localized channel for spanish or whatever you're speaking. [06:46] alguien q hable español?? [06:46] mexico [06:47] !es [06:47] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [06:47] #ubuntu-es [06:47] Crazylink: hey, I can't find anything that's directly what I want to do, so I'll just walk you through it [06:47] W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263 [06:47] yoley: Do /join #ubuntu-es [06:47] faeryan_: thats the error i get [06:47] homerhomer: if you dont mind [06:48] homerhomer: please and thank you [06:48] Crazylink: Karma [06:48] Crazylink: can you open a command terminal [06:48] homerhomer: is a powerful and wonderful think [06:48] done [06:48] what is the lilo channel called? [06:49] vegombrei: That shouln't affect on your updates from other sources. Still, you can google for public signatures budgetdedicated to get info on how to verify the address. I'm not too familiar with that stuff myself. Always have to google to do that myself as well.- [06:49] because #lilo just takes me to #freenode [06:49] #oldschool [06:49] ;) [06:49] Hobz: try ##linux. I'm not sure if there is a channel for lilo, but someone in ##linux likely knows [06:49] vegombrei-> in a terminal do: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [06:49] vegombrei: You're after the latest wine versions then? [06:49] Hmm why use lilo? [06:50] Crazylink: type or past the following , glxinfo | grep rendering [06:50] Crazylink: and see if you see anything that says Direct_rendering [06:51] dr_willis, I'd rather be using grub, unfortunately not an option [06:51] homerhomer: says Direct rendering Yes [06:51] good luck. Im not even sure LILO can boot usb drives [06:51] Great, so your video card is working properly [06:52] I hear it can, you just have to add a root delay option to give it time to detect hardware [06:52] hence the testing [06:52] yes it can [06:52] Crazylink: so now we are going to create a backup of your xorg.conf file type, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [06:52] grub much easier tho [06:53] homerhomer: brb 1 second door [06:53] I heart grub [06:53] Crazylink: it's going to ask for your root password and that's it [06:54] homerhomer: back inputing commands now [06:54] damnsmall linux used to be easier to use with a usb stick if LILO was used instead of GRUB iirc. [06:54] Remember kids, don't give your root password to just anyone. :P [06:54] Crazylink: , brb - I need some wine [06:54] here's mine: 0u812 [06:55] homerhomer: says no such file in directory [06:55] mine is the same as my luggage, 1234 [06:55] how do i set opers as default browser? i click links in xchat, they open in firefox [06:55] opera* [06:55] tetonca: Reminds me of this age old joke: "Enter password: cock", "Error: Password too short" [06:56] hahaha [06:56] cute [06:56] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [06:57] Crazylink: did you copy it exactly [06:57] yes i believe so [06:57] okay I have aanother quick idea [06:58] copy this and paste it into your terminal [06:58] cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/ [06:58] done [06:59] you'll now have a xorg.conf file on your desktop - can you open with (just double click on it) [06:59] done [06:59] Hi, do most usb wifi adapters work without installing drivers? [06:59] my bank password is 1337, have fun :( [06:59] okay, this file configures you display [06:59] look for a section call "Monitor [07:00] called Monitor [07:00] it will say Section "Monitor" [07:00] found it [07:00] loafers: What version of Ubuntu are you running? === faeryan_ is now known as faeryan [07:01] I need help building a program [07:01] faeryan, the latest [07:01] do you have anything that says Horizsync or vertrefresh [07:01] !ask | Brando753 [07:01] Brando753: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:01] loafers: Intrepid 8.10? It should have pretty good wifi support. Not sure if it can run everything without installing drivers but you could always try. [07:02] loafers: What is the manufacturer of the wifi? [07:02] not anywhere on in that section [07:02] faeryan, ok thanks. Do usb wifi adapters plug and play similarly to usb storage devices? [07:02] good [07:02] but it is not about ubuntu as musch as programing :D and no one in ##Programming can help :D [07:02] faeryan, I havn't bought one yet bc i am unsure [07:02] does anything say modline in that section [07:02] loafers: For me it did. Can't say for others. [07:02] modeline [07:03] faeryan, okay thanks [07:03] wait am i looking near where it says"Monitor"? or anywhere in the doc? [07:03] hi [07:03] loafers: Your best bet is to use big and well known manufacturers [07:03] only in the monitor section [07:03] no nothing [07:03] faeryan, Good idea, but they tend to be slightly more expensive [07:03] good [07:03] Brando753-> you could try in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:04] loafers: Mine is A-Link and it worked nicely on my laptop. [07:04] okay lets go to the Section called "Screen" [07:04] faeryan, ic. Is it true that nintendo ds and other game handheld usb wifi adapters work for laptops also? [07:04] loafers: No idea. [07:04] do you have anything that refers to Modes with some resolution settings? [07:04] found it [07:04] faeryan, ok thanks for the help [07:05] under the "Screen" section there are Modes [07:05] quibbler: thanks ill try [07:05] with different screen resos [07:05] yep, [07:05] what's the highest res [07:06] 1152x864 [07:06] hmmm [07:06] i can't connect my laptop in an LCD projector [07:06] do you know the make and model of you monitor [07:07] i wonder if your monitor even supports that res [07:07] compaq, FS7600 i believe [07:07] There really should be a separate xorg.configurer software for Ubungu. Soemthing like the older versions had instead of this new Intrepid stuff. [07:08] Crazylink: I google, is this it? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4454459 [07:09] it wont let me see it [07:10] but [07:10] this is it right here [07:10] http://images.fixya.com/C/Compaq/177x150/32393832.JPG [07:10] oh okay, [07:10] Crazylink: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:10] okay, [07:11] Crazylink: Your problem sounds a bit similar to what I had before. What kind of graphics card are you using and do you have an integrated card as well on your system? [07:11] it is an integrated GFX card and its a Gforce 6150 LE [07:11] !drm [07:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about drm [07:12] Crazylink: Right, so no separate card? I had a geforce 6600gs and an integrated one. They got somehow messed up and I couldn't configure them properly. Fixed that by buying a new card that worked nicely without any separate configs. [07:13] 6600's have always seem to be picky [07:13] Crazylink: Have you checked your BIOS that you have integrated chosen as the primary adapter and memory allocation is not on auto, but instead on something you specify yourself. [07:13] dr_willis: Indeed. Luckily I had been thinking bout buying a new card anyways. [07:14] Crazylink: okay, remember that line that's called Modes with all the resolutions? [07:14] yes [07:14] replace it with this one [07:14] Modes "1280x1024@60" "1024x768@85" "800x600@85" "720x400@70" "640x480@85" [07:14] all of them? [07:15] Yes, just copy the whole line and then paste it in place of the old one [07:15] because there are 6 mode lines with the same reso writen in them [07:15] ouch [07:15] I need to design a Site Specific Browser similar to lockdown browser but prevent screen shots printing and copying well running and record stirkes on thise who try to, And lock someone out who has more then three strike these strikes our recorded on a mysql database I cant get an answer anywhere else so i came here :P [07:15] yes, [07:15] each one if for a different Depth mode [07:15] for each one is fine [07:15] ok [07:16] okay [07:16] go ahead and click save at the top of the screen [07:17] and close gedit, the editor [07:17] 1 question: I have OS with 4.5 Gb. (wdmk) with vmware i can have just 10 gb for virtualmachines , when i have OS format .ISO i can have 10 or more gb pour VM. how can i have 10 or more gb. with vdmk , thanks:) [07:18] almost done [07:18] saving now [07:18] ok closed [07:19] now paste [07:19] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [07:19] it will create a backup of your config file [07:19] it will also ask for a password [07:20] done [07:20] now paste the following [07:20] sudo cp ~/Desktop/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:21] done [07:21] Hi! my touchpad suddenly doesn't work anymore! It's found as SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input7; I made dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but no result. what's wrong? please help [07:21] okay, so there is a chance that this doesn't work, if so Ubuntu shoudl try to fix your monitor settings and you'll probably have to just go through a gui program. [07:22] so log out and log back in - good luck [07:22] reboot? [07:23] no, you should have to just go to system and log out [07:23] reboot would work too [07:23] oh man, I hope that works [07:24] My firefox opens in F11 mode everytime i fire it up. How do I disable it? It never happened before! [07:25] Hi, I executed: "sudo iftop > /home//netlog", and nano reports ( when I read netlog) that it has "converted from Mac format"... what does this mean?> [07:26] Never mind got it working.

Can't help there. [07:28] :( [07:29] I'm using Ubuntu Server 8.04.2 and all of the machines behind the server have Internet access, but the server does not. Before the server was the only one with access but DHCP wasn't working so I reformatted. How is it possible for the server itself not to have access when it has to? [07:29] Crazylink: we can try to have the xorg package try to reconfigure it [07:30] want to try? [07:30] if you go to the command line terminal again [07:30] homerhomer: how does it work and what needs to be done [07:30] and paste the following [07:30] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [07:30] it just rerun auto configuration and might work [07:30] I cant suspend my hp Pavilion dv5 laptop i just get a black screen on resume [07:31] done [07:31] log out and back in - [07:31] :/ [07:31] how do i restart the wine service in my system withour rebooting the computer?

[07:37] homerhomer: thank you [07:37] lol. hmm my monitor isnt in the lst [07:37] it is end of line chars pcnerd [07:37] PC_Nerd: the file probably had different line endings (using carriage returns instead of newline characters) [07:37] you can have a text using 0x0d or 0x0a or both as end of line [07:38] i tried to test and it failed. [07:38] Crazylink: , are you trying compaq or generic monitor [07:38] ibm pc's had 0x0d 0x0a line endings. Mac only used one of those.

[07:44] !apache [07:44] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:45] hang on one second homer i might have fixed it [07:45] brb gonna test it [07:45] crow_: you likely don't have userdir enabled [07:45] hmmm.... is that a package? [07:45] crow_: no, an apache module [07:46] How does one get it to be activated/ [07:46] crow_: look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ to see if you have symlinks to /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load and userdir.conf [07:47] Brando753: do you know if it's has a Intel or AMD chip? [07:47] no, how can i find out? [07:47] Brando753: cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:47] I accidentially run "sudo firefox", now my bookmarks are lost, my back/forward buttons do not wrk, every startup the plugin websites are loaded (first start), and nothing i can import or setup. everythings crappy, any ideas what did go wrng r how to fix? [07:48] tritium: ok... I'm looking. [07:48] Brando753: can you open a terminal [07:48] yes [07:48] paste the following [07:48] cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model [07:49] Ah! [07:49] I see! This configuration is actually pretty easy. :-) [07:49] model : 15 [07:49] model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz [07:49] model : 15 [07:49] model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz [07:49] Brando753: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:49] crow_: it was not enabled? [07:49] ok [07:50] crow_: you can either create the symlinks yourself, or "sudo a2enmod userdir" [07:50] Quick Question. Every time my system starts up it writes "pulseaudio[6617]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting." to my logs. [07:50] I'm just going to guess that you have nvidia [07:50] Never assume :P [07:50] It doesn't seem to effect my sound any, but does anyone know whats wrong? [07:50] Brando753: can you go to system, administration, hardware drivers [07:51] it will tell you there [07:51] 1 sec [07:51] CosmiChaos: NEVER run firefox as a root. :) [07:51] faeryan: to late, what can i do now? [07:51] homerhomer: im there [07:51] CosmiChaos: sudo chown -R username:username /home/username/.mozilla where username is your actual username on that computer [07:51] CosmiChaos: ya, because then you might as well be running IE [07:51] it is owned by me already [07:51] CosmiChaos: That should correct it. [07:51] crow_: status? [07:51] does it say nvidia ATI? [07:52] If you run it as a root then it isn't. You need to fix it again. [07:52] homerhomer: no [07:52] homerhomer: it would never say that [07:52] drwxrwx--- 4 cypherdelic cypherdelic 4096 2009-02-10 17:40 .mozilla [07:52] homerhomer: there is only a Brodcom wireless driver [07:53] okay this will work [07:53] paste this [07:53] grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:53] CosmiChaos: So did you run that command? If you already own them then that command shouldn't break anything. IT's just making sure you have everything as supposed to. [07:53] into the command line terminal [07:53] faeryan: well i indeed did "sudo firefox" AND indeed /home/cypherdelic/.mozilla is ofned by cypherdelic:cypherdelic, wanna tell me what my files look like? :( [07:53] nothing happened [07:54] Brando753: [07:54] crow_: status? [07:54] CosmiChaos: did you try closing firefox and running it again without sudo? [07:54] so suspend and resume issues are usually because of video drivers, [07:54] faeryan: but it worked, ineed. maybe some files in that directory where not right [07:55] Boohbah: yes, but thanks i got it now, the chmod recursive does it [07:55] did it [07:55] CosmiChaos: If you're CosmiChaos The -R in the command applies the command in every subdirectory. [07:55] can anyone help me out, im trying to install card:linksys WUSB54Gv2,802.11g/b USB2.0 chipset:Broadcom BCM432OSKFBG [07:55] faeryan: know that, thanks === trollboy_ is now known as trollboy [07:57] OK, so i'm running jaunty, which yes i realize is still in devolopment, but the +1 chan is pretty dead right now...So i figure maybe someone in here knows how i can disable IPMI before the system boots, because its causing the system to hang [07:58] nothing happened [07:58] i've tried both the recovery mode and normal booting, it tries to load on both, and causes it to hang forever [07:58] i left the system for the afternoon and it failed still [07:58] crow_: it's hard to help someone who doesn't respond to questions... [08:02] I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was! [08:05] any php programmers here? [08:06] sorry, my client crashed so I'm going to ask again: any php programmers in here? [08:06] Please answer me this: which distro has bigger repositories - Debian or Ubuntu? [08:06] curt: yes I am a bit [08:06] curt: ##php ? [08:07] Homerhomer: are you still here? [08:07] wowo [08:07] crdlb sorry, irc noob here [08:08] Hi! my touchpad suddenly doesn't work anymore! It's found as SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input7; I made dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but no result. what's wrong? please help === lenoir_ is now known as attis84_ [08:08] curt: if its irrelevant to ubuntu then type "/join ##php[enter]" to join the best php irc channel [08:08] jack_spratt: i have had a lot of luck with Ubuntu [08:09] HammerHead66: good for you [08:09] im having a problem with my moniter can someone please assists? i mistakenly put a test screen resolution to high for my monitor and rebooted, now when i boot into my ubuntu 8.10 my monitor shuts down saying its out of range, i had to boot into my old ubuntu CD to get here, can i please get some help? [08:09] jack_spratt: why are you nee a mood if you asked a question you wanted answered? [08:11] HammerHead66: I didnt know that you were answering me - I dont understand the relevance of your answer - I have used ubuntu a lot, I have had luck too, but that doesnt tell me which of the two distros has the biggest repositories. Thanks for answering anyway. [08:12] crazylink: look at command line terminal commands to change it [08:12] crazylink: or run a live cd [08:12] can i fix it even tho im running ubuntu 6.11 from a CD atm? the problem is on my HD on my ubuntu 8.10 [08:13] crazylink: you can either boot to a cli in recovery mode and then use a cli editor like nano to change config files, or run a cli X configuration app. [08:13] crazylink: or you can edit the config files from the livecd that you have and reboot into the installed copy [08:14] Jack_spratt: im sorry to bug you but can you walk me through that? im not sure how to do this [08:14] crazylink: there should be some "xfix" option in the recovery console [08:14] crazylink: you can mount your local partition and edit your xorg.conf file [08:15] crazylink: yes, you can try crdlb s suggestion, or you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the livecd instead [08:15] as clearscreen suggested [08:15] would the problem be in my xorg.conf? i did the mistake while choosing the type of monitor and testing [08:15] but the easiest would be to just boot into your ubuntu installation and hit CTRL+ALT+F2 to swap to TTY2 (console), and fix it from there [08:16] crazylink: yes all settings like that are stored in xorg.conf [08:16] crazylink: just boot into ubuntu, ctrl+alt+f2, log in to the console there.. then type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [08:16] and set your resolution there [08:17] thats really not the most user friendly solution in my view [08:17] ok sorry for being a pest, apparently there alot of ways which is the easiest way for a noob such as myself to use? [08:17] but hey, they gotta learn some time i guess [08:17] jack_spratt: I think that's the easiest solution, unless you were still talking about modifying xorg.conf [08:18] how to set an iptable rule to prevent a process with given pid to access the network? === peppe is now known as Guest20868 [08:19] crazylink: just boot into ubuntu, hit ctrl+alt+f2 when your screen screws up, log into theconsole there, and execute the command above [08:19] all will be fine :) [08:19] ok thank you ill try if it doesnt work ill come bug you some more :) [08:19] crazylink: it sounds harder than it is :) [08:20] >.> [08:20] D: [08:20] make up your minds :'( confusing me [08:20] whos disagreeing? [08:21] i just meant dont worry about doing what clearscreen said because youll find it easier that you may think [08:21] sorry to confuse you [08:22] Does anyone know how to change your keyboard layout manually? [08:22] I recently updated some files, and it changed my keyboard layout for some reason, and I can't login, I'm using a Live CD right now. [08:23] chris062689: you can use xset for that I think [08:24] chris062689: is the light on your Num Lock botton go on when it is booted? [08:24] well, the problem is, I'm having to run a LiveCD [08:24] hello [08:24] where are the alsamixer settings stored? [08:25] Will I still be able to use xset even through a LiveCD? [08:25] /etc/ or users home dir i imagine. [08:25] dr_willis, would you know which file? [08:26] q. how to uninstall evolution and openoffice ? [08:27] chris062689: If the light is out turn it on and if the light goes out turn it back when booting [08:27] chris062689: til you get to login [08:27] How exactly would that solve the isalmic characters appearing on my keyboard? [08:27] Plus; my keyboard doesn't have a numlock light button. [08:27] caps? [08:27] chris062689: get a new keyboard :P [08:28] That's not the problem! >_< after I updated, it switched itself from USA to Islamic characters. [08:28] where are the alsamixer settings stored? [08:29] ikonia, hello :) [08:29] chris062689: go to desktop upper left hand side in text /System/Prefs'/Keyboard [08:29] I can't even login [08:29] eq [08:29] I can't login, or login via console. === sweety-girl is now known as ghedek [08:30] chris062689: you should be able to change while your in live cd [08:30] How though? [08:30] Thats what I'm trying to figure out. [08:30] Good Day to all.... [08:30] Good Day to all.... :) [08:30] chris062689: are you in command line terminal? [08:31] !crosspost | chris062689 [08:31] chris062689: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [08:31] can someone tell me how to write a sh script that opens a new terminal window wit a command but doesn't wait for that command to finish? [08:31] david_: xterm -e ' command &' or similer.. [08:32] david_: but why have it in a term anyway? [08:32] yeah, might as well run the command directly :P [08:32] any ops here? I just got a question, nothing too serious or anything [08:32] histo, i have a small problem, maybe someone can help me: .doc files are recognized as "plain text" on my machine, so whenever I try to open one via double-click it opens my default text editor. if i change the defaul software to abiword, all my real plaintext files get opened by abiword, which is as undesireable. im running xubuntu for what its worth [08:32] o0Chris0o: #ubuntu-ops if Im not mistaken :) [08:33] hoelk: install openoffice [08:33] dr_willis, i did that, but the script with pause until the command is executed and completed. is there a way for the script to continue executing without waiting for the command to finish? [08:33] clearscreen, didnt help [08:33] will* [08:33] right-click, (open with) or something similar [08:33] no clue under xfwm [08:34] it's quite intuitive under gnome [08:34] clearscreen, yeah of course that works, but i want abiword to be associated as defaul application with doc files [08:34] n=tyfoo@77-20-31-238-dynip.superkabel.de [08:34] david_: if it did that.. then the terminal would instantly close.. you wouldent see any output.. so why have a terminal open at all? [08:34] david_: add a "&" to the end [08:34] clearscreen, the problem is just that my system apparently things ".doc" files are plaintext, and i dont know how to tell it otherwise [08:35] hoelk: no clue how to do that in xfwm, sorry :( [08:35] dr_willis, because the new terminal will be working until the user closes it (airodump) [08:35] clearscreen, hmpf :( [08:36] clearscreen, thanks anyways [08:36] <_acid__> nohup blafasel & ?

[08:38] You said youi dident want it to pause.. :) [08:38] <_acid__> david_, read? [08:39] You can 'pause' with the read command [08:39] #!/bin/sh [08:39] hoelk: right click the folder or file you want to open and it has option "open with other application [08:39] command [08:39] read [08:39] oh, ok [08:39] perfect === thunder_ is now known as thunder [08:39] cin.get(); basically [08:40] !offtopic [08:40] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[08:44] o0Chris0o, what file to change? [08:44] david_: O [08:44] oops [08:44] What is the equivalent software to MULTISIM ?? [08:45] david_: I'm not sure if you can change the setting and have it be saved from a liveCD. You would have to do it each time you load it up I think. [08:45] Sometimes when I load ubuntu it doesn't automatically connect to my wireless network does anyone know what would cause this? [08:45] o0Chris0o, the volume is not saved to a file? [08:46] users volume settings are saved to a file in their home dir i belive.. check man alsamixer perhaps to see what files it uses [08:46] dr_willis: he is running a live cd though [08:46] o0Chris0o, i can change the files on the cd easily [08:46] ive installed driver for my wusb54g but i get nothing on iwconfig? ;\ [08:46] o0Chris0o, i only need to know what file [08:47] david_: Probably be best for you to ask in #alsa I'm not sure what file you would have to edit [08:47] Re Asking :how to check the licensing of any ubuntu package?? [08:47] o0Chris0o, i asked, no answer so far. i just though someone here might know [08:47] is it at all possible to get a linux virus because my system is acting very strange [08:47] /etc/asound.state (or whatever file you specify with the -f flag) is used to store current [08:47] settings for your soundcards.

[08:51] ok ..i have nvidia setting [08:51] o0Chris0o: now firefox doesn't have a GUI [08:51] o0Chris0o: it's just a window with that little image in the top right [08:51] i think i should restart [08:52] david_: no idea. i imagine it saves it at exit..

[08:52] dr_willis, i will try to figure something out, thanks for the help [08:52] chris, to change the keyboard layout temporarily go to the terminal and type "loadkeys us" without qutes replacing the us with your code [08:52] !multisim [08:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about multisim === bizkit is now known as bizkit|away [08:52] !electronic workbench [08:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:52] opengyan: install video card drivers..

Is there something like WINE the other way around? So running (binary) linux/ubuntu apps on windows? [08:53] avisplit -s myfileinqueston.avi -o part2.avi in this example if I just leave the file size out it should split it in half right? [08:53] hello world....

[08:54] DEadPuNk, please see my private message [08:54] oops [08:54] opengyan: see pm on install [08:54] homy: cygwin.. that was it [08:55] Hi - Is "Launchpad" a necessary or required app for Intrepid or could I safely uninstalled through Synaptics ? ? [08:55] I mean I guess the check for new security software is done by root. Is the info stored some place so a simple bash script can make a notification that you can see that you need to run an upgrade. I'm not talking about a full console version of update-notifier [08:55] opengyan: i always backuip the working xorg.conf - then play with taht tool. [08:55] DEadPuNk: sorry, the intended person left. [08:55] dr_willis: sure [08:55] Clearscreen: there you are, the command you gave me isnt working, when i type it in it says something about the -xorg not being recignized or something of that nature. [08:55] Slart and clearscreen: but on www.cygwin.com it says " Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows. ". [08:56] crazylink: you sure you wrote it down correctly? [08:56] it's xserver-xorg [08:56] Is Launchpad a required application - Or can it be removed ? [08:56] Yes I did david_, but it won't accept input [08:56] homy: hence the 'sort of' [08:56] !launchpad | swayed [08:56] swayed: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [08:56] homy: oh.. my bad then.. never really used cygwin myself [08:56] hmmm i might have put a space in it [08:56] clearscreen: so there isn't something like wine the other way round? [08:57] that's as close as you're going to get, which is usually close enough [08:57] clearscreen: ok but just so i know next step, what do i do next? will it fix it on its own or will i need to do anything else? [08:57] chris062689, does it login root automatically? [08:57] Yes I'm in root, but I can't type any commands [08:57] clearscreen: can I compile programs that run in windows (via cygwin?) using ubuntu linux? [08:57] crazylink: some menu will come up asking you a couple of questions, one of them will be which resolution to use [08:57] how do i reset my USB bus? [08:58] o0Chris0o, So is it required or could I uninstall it ? [08:58] crazylink: you can use the default option for the other questions [08:58] ok brb gonna try again [08:58] homy: no, cygwin does it the other way around [08:58] o0Chris0o: I don't think its required, but very very useful to keep it, if you run into a problem and an application crashes, it fills in your bug report for you [08:58] i have a device that says its connected, but i dont see the volumes on it [08:58] clearscreen: oh, ok. [08:58] gah! I'm tired [08:59] swayed: I don't think its required, but very very useful to keep it, if you run into a problem and an application crashes, it fills in your bug report for you [08:59] homy: cygwin offers you a linux-like environment, you build linux software in there, and it'll allow you to execute them from windows (inside cygwin) [08:59] any Launchpad users here? [09:00] I tend to use Xming instead of cygwin for a X server [09:00] clearscreen: thanks! [09:00] chris062689, why cant you type them? because of the wrong layout? [09:00] clearscreen: and colinux is wine in reverse :) [09:01] colinux = eniw ? [09:02] gartral: i looked it up, looks a little too intrusive to me, i dunno :P [09:02] o0Chris0o, Reason I asked I'm getting following error when I run my Update Mgr. < http://imagebin.org/43438 > [09:03] swayed: that's not a serious error, it just means you have an untrusted repository in your software sources [09:04] clearscreen: if your running ubuntu, why not use wubi? [09:04] swayed: The error message is telling you that there are some authentication errors for some of the repositories in synaptic/sources.list [09:04] o0Chris0o: It's not a big deal I just close the error message and go with my updates and they install and work and all. [09:04] gartral: i wasnt the one asking the question ;) [09:04] swayed: You can try to clear the errors by running what it says in the message: sudo apt-get update === defcon is now known as Guest16900 [09:05] o0Chris0o: Yea I figured that but I looked at my list of repos and can't seem to see a problem. [09:05] swayed: it's one of the ppa repos in your sources [09:05] o0Chris0o: ok - will do [09:05] clearscreen: i did it thank you very much! im back to my normal ubuntu [09:05] swayed: In simple terms, some respositories issue 'keys' to verify that the files are actually coming from their repository. Apparently at some point the keys changed and now your computer isn't sure it's talking to the correct source. [09:05] Crazylink: no problem! :) [09:05] crlb; would it help to have screen shot of my repos's ? [09:05] swayed: I usually don't bother trusting PPA keys, so that I know exactly which packages are getting installed from an unofficial source [09:06] swayed: but you can if you want to [09:06] clearscreen: i have one more other problem if you could help me with, because apparently from what you just helped me fix i dont know how to do it [09:06] swayed: that's not necessary, just look for the ppa.launchpad.net one [09:06] Crazylink: just ask :P [09:07] crlb; Ah I think it might be one I questioned - habg on and I'll remove it and refresh Synaptics then run update see if I still get error. [09:07] well i just upgraded to 8.10 today so im still trying to get it fixed, i need to get my screen resolution higher but its stuck at where its at === john is now known as Guest9861 [09:07] someone tried to help me ealier but only got so far [09:07] when i tried to do it myself... well that happened [09:07] swayed: I'm sure you wont; the question is whether you want that repo [09:08] Crazylink: what drivers are you using?

So I as far as Im conserned I have a generally fast computer. I have hardy installed running with two monitors with two seporate x screens. So I now that creates quite a lag with compiz but I murdered compiz so no more lag. Problem is I still get a lag say If Im watching a movie and I browse [10:34] webpages or open another program. When I lookat my resources however Im not even using 10% please can someone help === BlaSux is now known as Stiletto [10:35] ikonia are you familiar with pppd and wvdial? [10:35] digifor: certainly done pppd in the past, not really a wvdial user [10:35] arjun: why are you using separate X screens instead of twinview? [10:35] I'm using Ubuntu Intrepid and i want to run the application calibre. I understand it depends on python 2.6 - how can I install this? 2.4, 2.5 and 3.0 are in the repositories. [10:36] crdlb, Thought it was pretty [10:36] arjun: that doesn't make sense [10:36] aprilhare: if python 3.0 is in the repo - then that will meet the dependices [10:36] <[47]> (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 [10:36] Essentially what i need to translate my ubuntu wvdial file to pppd chat scripts. [10:36] [47]: yes, you said that, something is running on port 80 - most likley your webserver [10:36] digifor: don't know wvdial so I'm not really up on that [10:36] <[47]> ikonia no it is not runing as it wont start! [10:36] aprilhare: I find that hard to believe [10:37] ikonia: 3.0 is incompatible with 2.x [10:37] crdlb, LOL ok well um I like the panel on both screens I and it maximizes nicely [10:37] [47]: it won't start as something is using port 80 [10:37] crdlb: no idea, but it will meet the dependency check [10:37] ikonia: it seems to demand 2.6 (ask the author why). i just got traceback from the app looking for the file /usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py [10:37] aprilhare: ok, so it wants a specific version [10:37] crdlb: believe it or not :) [10:37] arjun: there's no reason why that can't work wit twinview [10:38] ok [10:38] ikonia: how do i do this? :) [10:38] <[47]> ikonia http://pastebin.com/f78ad7f4f [10:38] its not in the repos. [10:38] am... catalyst 9.3 and jaunty... is this driver work with jaunty and radeon 1950 pro (r5xx)?? [10:38] aprilhare: then I suggest you talk to the author to find out if it is a true hardcoded dependency or if it was just a mistake to request that specific file [10:38] aprilhare: looks like a simple bug, nobody would be dumb enough to depend on 2.6 this early [10:38] crdlb, but then do I still get seporate workspaces for each screen [10:38] crdlb: i guess someone was cause they've done it [10:38] arjun: no, they would switch together [10:38] ok [10:38] aprilhare: accidentally ... [10:38] ikonia: from what hes said, yes it is [10:38] [47]: how are you trying to start the webserver [10:38] aprilhare: it is what ? [10:39] hardcoded dependency [10:39] aprilhare: so you need that specific version then [10:39] <[47]> ikonia /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [10:39] [47]: just issue sudo /etc/init.d/apache start [10:39] ikonia: back to the question: how do i satisfy this silly dependency? :) [10:39] [47]: exactly as I have just typed [10:39] aprilhare: install the right version [10:39] aprilhare: there is no way a non-broken python app would look for '/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py', it would just 'import threading' [10:40] crdlb, well to be honest thats pretty much my main consern.... I run windoz on vbox on one screen wich has 4 workspaces.... and then 4 workspaces on other screen.... this is mostly for browsing and chatting research etxc [10:40] you'd think the author would know better. he writes for ubuntu. [10:40] crdlb: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=409879#post409879 [10:40] anyone knows if the X-FI SPDIF is working with ALSA? [10:40] crdlb, So as far as your conserned its cause of the seporate xscreens [10:41] arjun: ok, well separate screen support is often buggy because it doesn't get much testing [10:41] <[47]> ikonia (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443 [10:41] [47]: show me the command you used exactly [10:41] aprilhare: according to that traceback, you _have_ python 2.6 [10:41] Has anyone got Kaillera Server to work? [10:41] hi there [10:42] crdlb, ok IC so how can I get involved to make it better..... Im no guru developer ... but I certainly dont mind testing [10:42] ikonia: how do i get and install python 2.6 then? its not in the repositories :) [10:42] is there a way to apply a theme to X GUI apps ? [10:42] aprilhare: check crdlb's comment [10:42] arjun: proprietary driver :/ [10:42] crdlb: yes I do not.

[10:52] morning all [10:53] staar2: just use the repos, install the flashplugin-nonfree package [10:53] ikonia, =) [10:53] i know of no way to go back to 0.5.2 so i search the internets for python 2.6 packages for ubuntu intrepid [10:53] staar2: much easier [10:53] bluenzo^nix: hello [10:53] <[47]> ikonia any ideia? [10:53] [47]: apologies 2 minutes [10:53] <[47]> :) [10:53] benkamin:https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/wireless.html here you go [10:53] [47]: can you show me the paste as root please [10:53] [47]: exact command etc [10:53] Can anyone help me with ALSA [10:53] aprilhare: how exactly did you install it? [10:53] [47]: I think I missed it [10:53] * aprilhare wishes calibre was properly packaged instead of the weird pythonesque installer [10:53] Does anyone know how I can dock pidgin to the right of the screen, so that it's always visible? [10:53] ikonia: but how could i get the debian package support ? [10:54] ikonia, i fixed windows with bootsec.exe /fixmbr and fixboot C: and then fixed ubuntu by using super grub disk [10:54] staar2: what debian package support [10:54] bluenzo^nix: well done ! [10:54] hi, i'm trying to get an vpn-connection working with pptp, but i't doesn't really seem to work, anybody knows how it works and should work? [10:54] <[47]> ikonia http://pastebin.com/m72c78e1d [10:54] staar2: it's better to use the repo package because of how/what it installs [10:54] crdlb: using the instructions on his webpage. its a fairly important app so there is no workaround/alternative app [10:54] I understand I can - apt-get install vmware-player -. Do I need to update /etc/apt/sources.list ?? [10:54] [47]: telnet localhost 443 [10:54] [47]: anything listening on that socket ? [10:55] <[47]> ikonia telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [10:55] Hi, i'm spanish but in our channel nobody says anything about my problem. I've a connection of 6Mb and a PC with Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows XP. The problem is when i download of Megaupload o Rapidshare; in Windows runs 600kb/s but in Ubuntu 30kb/s. Thanks [10:55] aprilhare: which instructions? "binary" or source? [10:55] crdlb: binary [10:55] [47]: most odd, so it looks like nothing is running [10:55] [47]: give me a moment to work this through in my head [10:55] ikonia, what are you pasting? [10:55] bluenzo^nix: I'm not pasting anything === Yoda is now known as Guest20198 [10:56] HammerHead66: thanks, i'll try. [10:56] ikonia, really? what am i seeing... some xchat thing? lol [10:56] erqurio, do you have a wireless and/or wired connection? Perhaps ubuntu is using your wireless instead of your wired? [10:56] ikonia> [47]: most odd, so it looks like nothing is running [10:56] bluenzo^nix: what ? [10:56] bluenzo^nix: I'm talking to the user [47] [10:56] anyway to show minor revision number with apt-cache? [10:56] sektor: wired [10:56] ikonia, oh sorry [10:57] ikonia, it looked weird lol [10:57] hi is there a cross-platform opensource multiuser email client that i could use for a shared mailbox? [10:57] user01: thunderbird [10:57] merqurio, are all your downloads slow, or only the rapidshar? [10:57] ikonia, its not a multiuser email client === Guest20198 is now known as icon [10:57] Hi, someone there have a little time to answer me one question.. everytime i try yo open a game or a program it says im not root ? why it says that, i am root. [10:57] user01: yes it is, it can have profiles [10:57] so... is python 2.6 gettable or do i wait for the author to do something? [10:58] [47]: can you show me the output of "id" please in your shell [10:58] ikonia, i posted a question on the thunderbird forum with a problem i had and the response was that it is not designed to be multiuser [10:58] [47]: should only be 1 line so it's fine to paste in here [10:58] hi, i'm trying to get an vpn-connection working with pptp, but i't doesn't really seem to work, anybody knows how it works and should work? [10:58] aprilhare: python 2.6 is not gettable [10:58] sektor: only the direct download [10:58] icon: you shouldn't be root ;o) [10:58] user01: define multi-user [10:58] crdlb: this is an issue for me :) [10:58] aprilhare: I'm going to look at the package to see what it's doing [10:58] QaDeS: But it says i need to be root to run some programs :O ? [10:59] ikonia, are you in the UK or something? you seem to wake up when im going to sleep :P [10:59] icon: maybe you're not in the games group. you can check this in the users administration or by starting a shell and typing "groups" [10:59] * crdlb wonders how it could be 32MB [10:59] icon, try "sudo " in a terminal instead of just starting the program [10:59] bluenzo^nix: this channel is for ubuntu support only - it's not a chat chanel [10:59] ikonia, sorry forgot [10:59] ikonia, im going to sleep, thanks for the help yesterday, i REALLY appreciate it [11:00] thanks crdlb [11:00] the wireless device is listed as DISABLED although the led is on. this is an Intel 3945ABG. any ideas? [11:00] sektor: Hm have just tried that it aint working, its cause i want to start my Wifi-radar but it will not open :( [11:00] QaDeS: Hm okay i can try that,. [11:00] sektor: i don't think you should need sudo for _games_ ;o) [11:00] bye everyone [11:00] :quit [11:00] ikonia, well if i create an email account with mailbox A, B, C in this order, and someone else create their email box with D, A, F, where A is the shared mailbox, i create a template with A as FROM, it will open as From D on the other [11:01] aprilhare: wow, he bundled half the system in here [11:01] QaDeS, good point :-) [11:01] 47 --> Brixsat [11:01] ikonia, because it looks at the order on the individual account and not the from address [11:01] aprilhare: something tells me this guy is a windows developer [11:01] ikonia i switched nick [11:01] benkamin-> try toggling the switch [11:01] anyone in here use kbuntu [11:01] merqurio, wouldn't know than, sorry, haven't noticed any delays on my network interface using ubuntu\ [11:01] if so what is the applet name of the applet that can control cpu scaling [11:01] ikonia i was [47] [11:01] crdlb: calibre is also for OS X and Windows so yeah :) [11:02] benkamin-> or, right click on nm-applet and enable it [11:02] btw can somebody tell me how much cpy ksoftirqd is using on their system? the 10-12% it hogs on mine seem a bit much to me [11:02] hi, i'm trying to get an vpn-connection working with pptp, but i't doesn't really seem to work, anybody knows how it works and should work? [11:02] Can anyone here help me with ALSA? [11:02] "nm-applet" - can you pls explain? the little network tray icon? [11:02] !question | ChotaZ [11:02] ChotaZ: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:02] sektor: don't worry; thanks [11:02] benkamin-> yes [11:02] does anyone know how I can dock pidgin to the right of the screen, so that it's always visible? [11:03] ikonia, and my response from the official thunderbird forum is that it isnt designed to be multi-ser [11:03] "Enable Wireless" is disabled for clicking. grayed... [11:03] I'm having problem having 2 applications outputting sound at the same time, If I open teamspeak and mplayr next, mplayer crashes and i have to pkill it. [11:03] sektor-> always on top + move it resize [11:03] ikonia cant it be a misconfig in network? [11:03] benkamin: yes what about that :) ? [11:03] crdlb: i just wish it was packaged properly - it would be nice if it was properly ported to amd64 for instance [11:03] benkamin-> toggle the wifi switch [11:03] benkamin: when i try to open wifi-radar then nothing happends. [11:03] because 0.0.0.0 does not exist as a network and apache may fail because thatr [11:03] switch is on [11:03] benkamin-> does it work after a boot cycle? [11:03] and the dependencies are a real mess for calibre [11:04] ChotaZ: it might help to use dmix instead of the default alsa output [11:04] benkamin-> toggle it just in case [11:04] i did try again... [11:04] graingert, I don't want the rest of my maximized programs to end up underneath pidgin [11:04] is there anyway to bar certain users from using wget? [11:04] that'll mix the apps together; else the first one will keep an exclusive lock on the soundcard [11:04] crdlb, aprilhare: python2.6 is in doko's ppa, but I'm missing the context of your conversation... [11:04] QaDeS: How do I use dmix? (sorry i'm new to linux, fresh installed yesterday for first time) [11:04] sektor-> oooh, you could use the gnome-panel wrap tool [11:04] i'll try to boot. but it doesn't matter that it's running from live cd, does it? [11:04] jrib: relates to the requirements of an application called calibre [11:05] jrib: but that won't help if it needs other python modules, right? (eg pyqt) [11:05] sektor-> make a massive panel, then wrap pidgin's buddy list as a panel [11:05] jrib: calibre is not in the repos and uses a custom installer [11:05] crdlb: right [11:05] sektor-> applet [11:05] graingert, thanks, gonna try that, problem is that I don't know the right terminology for this feature, so google isn't very helpful [11:05] join medan [11:05] ChotaZ: gimme a minute, need to look for myself ^ ^ [11:05] ikonia ? still here? [11:05] gzip: stdout: file too large. (How do I fix this?) [11:06] #join medan [11:06] #medan [11:06] QaDeS: Thanks. [11:06] omyanto-> /join #edan [11:06] aprilhare: I can't figure out what this thing is doing, but I strongly recommend using the source package instead [11:06] #join medan [11:06] omyanto-> /join #medan [11:06] aprilhare: "When running the command line utilities, they will segfault after completion. This can be ignored." I'd be wary of using software that has this on their download page... [11:07] When creating a new user account, what profile should you use, I used "Desktop" and from the new user account I cannot access "User & Groups" for instance how do I edit my permissions properly? [11:07] ikonia ? [11:07] sektor-> gnome-swallow-applet [11:07] jrib: if you're in the mood to help him please feel free to get involved :) its a great application that deserves cleaning up and packaging [11:07] Hi, is there a application for ubuntu that fix ntfs disk that can be used in ubuntu and not in windows xp _ [11:08] jrib: in the meanwhile however, i dig [11:08] gparted can format as NTFS cant it? [11:09] ChotaZ: seems like it's application dependent. look if you can choose the audio output in the preferences of those apps. there should be at least alsa, oss and dmix to choose from [11:09] QaDeS: Does dmix come installed by default? [11:10] aprilhare: he has included python in that binary package thing :/ [11:10] ChotaZ: what i did on my system additionally is, set all defaults in "System => Preferences => Sound" to PulseAudio. seems to work pretty nicely [11:10] ChotaZ: afaik yes [11:10] aprilhare: well one way around this would be to install python 2.6 and use easyinstall to grab the packages for python 2.6. You could even use a python virtual environment to keep these packages separate from a vanilla python 2.6 . The python 2.6 requirement is what makes it difficult here since the python libraries in intrepid's repositories won't get installed for python 2.6 as crdlb pointed out [11:11] QaDeS: Yeah I had to do that do, otherwise my headset wouldnt work. [11:11] bluenzo^nix: Can gparted fix a disk without loosing the files? [11:12] SM411, nevermind [11:12] aprilhare: and everything else that it needs, like PyQt4 and various other python packages [11:12] QaDeS: I set everything to PulseAudio. [11:12] ChotaZ: sound still seems a bit tricky on ubuntu. the defaults are crap ;o) [11:12] QaDeS: Let me try having youtube outputting at same time as teamspeak. [11:12] SM411, you dont have a windows disk? whats wrong with your windows partition? [11:12] I got two harddrives. One for OS and one for file storage [11:12] after boot wireless problem solved.. :) thx everyone! [11:12] SM411, maybe people at ##Windows can help you [11:13] crdlb, jrib: ic. its a real mess its true. but i'm unsure if its worth installing anything more until he gets a chance to look at the traceback. i've mentioned to him the problems with running python 2.6 [11:13] The filestorage disk is a huge ntfs disk, and it got corrupt after using it in ubuntu [11:13] I can still use it in ubuntu though [11:13] aprilhare: use the source install, that should at least be sane [11:13] SM411, this is way outta my league, but it could be fixable, it almost sounds like a problem I had, with the boot stuff [11:14] compiling from source may be the best thing to do however python 2.6 is a difficult dependency to fill and if the source now depends on it i'm in trouble [11:14] aprilhare: it really has nothing to do with python 2.6; if he has broken compatibility with 2.5, it's not in that traceback [11:14] SM411: what does windows say when you try to access the volume? [11:14] i just downloaded ubuntu beta iso file how can i use virtualbox? [11:14] any clue//? [11:14] QaDeS: Wow, another problem, flash isnt working for some reason, is there anything specific I need to to do install it on 64 bits? [11:14] aprilhare, apt-get build-dep no option? [11:14] aprilhare: use doko's ppa or if you use the source install make sure you do "make altinstall", not "make install". That way it doesn't overwrite the existing python binary [11:14] When creating a new user account, what profile should you use, I used "Desktop" and from the new user account I cannot access "User & Groups" for instance how do I edit my permissions properly? [11:14] It tells me that its a dynamic disk (unknown filesystem), and that i need to format it to use it [11:14] s3r3n1t7: no i don't believe so [11:14] i have a question: is it possible to just clone a HD with ubuntu to another machine, and then just reconfigure the packages? [11:14] ubuntistas: what version of ubuntu are you using now? [11:15] jrib: thanks ill give it a try :) [11:15] 8.10 jrib [11:15] ChotaZ: sometimes "F5" in the browser window helps. have problems with flash on my 64 bit box too [11:15] ubuntistas: have you installed virtualbox? [11:15] 菜 [11:15] yes jrib [11:15] aprilhare: that way you'll be using the libraries on your system, not he ones he bundled [11:15] !cn | birdfly [11:15] birdfly: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [11:16] QaDeS: It tells me that its a dynamic disk (unknown filesystem), and that i need to format it to use it [11:16] ubuntistas: so now just create a new virtual machine and in the options point the cdrom to your iso [11:16] crdlb: i think he needs an experience linux/ubuntu helper but my experience is limited :) [11:16] hi, to who do i should ask to make a deb pkg(for ubuntu) for a software that don't has a deb pkg(for ubuntu)? thanks. [11:16] aprilhare: as it is now, you're using his bundled python 2.6 (which is broken because python doesn't support being put in a prefix different from the one it was installed to) [11:16] When creating a new user account, what profile should you use, I used "Desktop" and from the new user account I cannot access "User & Groups" for instance how do I edit my permissions properly?

[11:16] SM411: sounds nearly like the fixing the volume type might help. you can do that with cfdisk or alike without having to worry about your data. as long as you don't delete and recreate partitions that is ;o) [11:17] ubuntistas: no [11:17] thanks [11:17] explain [11:17] aprilhare: basically, python stores that it was installed to '/usr/lib/python2.6' internally, and he just copied that up in his distributed copy, so the tracebacks contain that false path [11:17] ubuntistas: did you go to the settings for your virtual machine yet? It lets you point it to a .iso file on your drive. It should be clear if you go to the options [11:17] QaDeS: Thanks, gona try it [11:17] what name do i have to put jrib [11:17] sorry, I have a problem. I have a 8:04 on a PIII 800. Everything works well generally. Only, sometimes, no longer recognizes the hd and the boot doesn't start. This morning this happened, I started the system with the live cd from which I then access all'hd on the system. I read the files, none issue. So I did the restart by removing the live cd and everything works. What happens? [11:17] aprilhare: which finally explains how you could get such a crazy error :) [11:17] ubuntistas: name for what? [11:18] crdlb: well it takes craziness to generate crazy errors :) he needs help seriously [11:18] aprilhare: he just needs to not try to make binary packages for linux, it's a losing effort :) [11:18] jrib what can i do first ? tell me the steps [11:19] hi, i'm trying to get an vpn-connection working with pptp, but i't doesn't really seem to work, anybody knows how it works and should work? [11:19] ubuntistas: open virtualbox, create new virtual machine, go to virtual machine settings, point cdrom to .iso file, start virtual machine [11:19] ChotaZ: it's just a gray box, right? i don't know...before the last update it seemed to work occasionally [11:19] Hi, can anybody help me? How do I find out, if Ubunut 32bit or Ubuntu 64bit is installed on a machine?

(sorry, don't use teamspeak myself) [11:23] xstasi, no, i use pptp, as said -.- [11:24] cool, cause i don't know what pptp is, so i asked :P [11:24] QaDeS: In teamspeak I had to set the output device to dev/dsp1 so it would out in the headset. [11:24] QaDeS: I didnt figure out how to use cfdisk [11:24] which is beetter dynamic expanding image or fixed size jrib xstasi? [11:24] ChotaZ, did they make the ts client for linux? or are you using wine? [11:24] ubuntistas, dynamic is known to be flawed [11:24] sorry, but I'll try to ask again. if i have a machine ready with everything i need, can i just clone the hard disk to another machine, so i don't have to install everything from the beginning? anyone has experience with this? [11:24] go for the fixed size [11:25] xtasi: sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client [11:25] benkamin, i did that for an expo, it's possible [11:25] benkamin, if it has different hardware, it can't be done [11:25] xstasi: sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client [11:25] i suppose [11:25] but there are a few things you need to be aware of for that [11:25] benkamin, in theory, yes you can. however, it's better to just copy the installed packages scheme over and clone it that way.

[11:37] what can i do next xstasi [11:37] ChotaZ: also don't forget to set 4 desktops (4 columns, 1 row) [11:37] ubuntistas, starting it i guess :) [11:37] * G69 \o [11:37] ~ [11:37] xstasi, ps -u is empty...i killed the processes, yet i still cant delete the user [11:38] What command will tell me about my hard disk(s)?

[11:38] * grawity is wondering what's bluenzo^nix's problem [11:38] penthief: cat /proc/partitions or blkid [11:38] scsi/ata [11:38] grawity, i cant delete a user account [11:38] hi, I have a netbook on my desk which is set up directly next to my Ubuntu PC. I have my Logitech 5.1 speakers plugged into my Ubuntu PC. I have plugged an audio cable from the headphone jack on my netbook into the line in on my creative audigy in the ubuntu PC. How can I make it so that all sound played through the netbook comes out of my big speakers which are plugged into the ubuntu PC? [11:38] bluenzo^nix, try "w" and/or "who" [11:38] see if the user is listed there [11:39] if it isn't, do it the rough way [11:39] sudo userdel thatusername [11:39] xstasi: I don't think it would, as the shell would be killed already. [11:39] grawity, that doesn't mean that u/wtmp are clean [11:40] Thanks, but none of those three suggestions tell me if I have a scsi/ata or whatever drive. [11:40] xstasi, i already tried sudo deluser it gives error code 8 [11:40] bluenzo^nix: userdel, not deluser [11:40] penthief, try "dmesg | grep sd" [11:40] grawity, meh typo on chat, doesnt work in terminal [11:41] Can samone help me installing ubuntu 8.10 via LAN ? [11:41] grawity, userdel: user bluenzo is currently logged in [11:41] Hmm [11:41] xstasi: Cheers, that's OK, but I'm suprised there's no proc or sysfs file for this info [11:42] 哈哈 [11:42] penthief, i'm not sure if there is or isn't, what i normally do is that [11:42] how do I convert .cue+.bin to .iso? [11:42] graingert, there is a program for that [11:42] knoppix, to start with you need the alternative CD, not the Live CD. which one do you have? [11:42] visitor ? [11:42] graingert: bin2iso [11:42] bluenzo^nix, how are you logged in atm then? [11:42] graingert, ccd2iso [11:42] 我是 [11:42] s3r3n1t7, im on "kenneth" lol [11:42] 不容易阿，看个汉字 [11:42] 阿 哈哈 [11:42] i think live but i have neetboot directory downloaded [11:43] gfhgujhkkkkjkh [11:43] 都是老外？ [11:43] and tftp is not sending files [11:43] bluenzo^nix, i guess you did the "w" "who" try [11:43] visitor: english only [11:43] sorry [11:43] haha [11:43] 不是也差不多 [11:43] bluenzo^nix: Hmm...try: killall -s 9 -u bluenzo === encore is now known as icebreacker [11:43] knoppix, you need the alternative cd regardless [11:43] xstasi, i dont know what you mean "w" "who" [11:43] Boohbah-> what about bchunk [11:43] hi, I have a netbook on my desk which is set up directly next to my Ubuntu PC. I have my Logitech 5.1 speakers plugged into my Ubuntu PC. I have plugged an audio cable from the headphone jack on my netbook into the line in on my creative audigy in the ubuntu PC. How can I make it so that all sound played through the netbook comes out of my big speakers which are plugged into the ubuntu PC? [11:43] 我查了几个显示是葡萄牙 [11:43] xstasi: Can you help me set up PA and some other stuff that it may require to have 2 apps outputting for same device without malfunctioning any on them? [11:43] bluenzo^nix, try "w" and/or "who" [11:43] bluenzo^nix: 'w' and 'who' are also commands you have to type on Terminal. [11:44] those were commands meant to be typed in the terminal === acuster is now known as avc_work [11:44] * grawity pokes birdfly to speak English. [11:44] Bonez56-> pulseaudio [11:44] ChotaZ, that really depends on the apps you're trying to run [11:44] xstasi: I already set all the controllers to PulseAudio in System->Prefs->Sound [11:44] Bonez56, if they're both connected to a network you could just use pulse audio and use the network to transfer the sound. [11:44] can some one introduce some desktop mananger [11:44] ? [11:44] xstasi: If I'm watching a video on youtube and then try to run mplayer, it just crashes ?\ [11:44] ok [11:45] ChotaZ, as for mplayer, launch it with -ao pulse [11:45] xstasi, grawity, ive never used who and "w" what am i looking for? i get 4 lines back... they all sya "kenneth" not "bluenzo" [11:45] speak english !!!!!!! [11:45] i do not like fvwm [11:45] s3r3n1t7, they are both physically connected to each other with a 3.5mm audio cable... i should not need to rely on a network interface to transfer, surely? [11:45] ChotaZ, as for firefox, open (i think) /etc/firefox/firefoxrc [11:45] bluenzo^nix, that's strange then [11:45] Bonez56-> digital/pulseadio will give better quality, and it's cooler [11:45] xstasi, maybe i uncovered some weird bug with ubuntu :P [11:45] xstasi: How can I do that for mplayer, as when I double click a mp3 file or video with will autolaunch it like that? [11:45] bluenzo^nix: Hmm. If nothing helps, you can always try the Windows way: Reboot. [11:46] Bonez56, there's no need, but it sure makes it a lot easier. [11:46] ChotaZ, the file for firefox is /etc/firefox-3.0/firefoxrc [11:46] grawity, ya i was gonna do that lol [11:46] in there, write: [11:46] FIREFOX_DSP="pulse" [11:46] then restart firefox [11:46] 3333236666653 [11:46] BrixSat: ? [11:46] bluenzo^nix, i'd kill to have a shell there to find out :P [11:47] xstasi, cant you use remote desktop? :P === _Purple_ is now known as EarthHour [11:47] and by the way, "userdel" should normally ignore that.. [11:47] s3r3n1t7, you got any links you can give me that may aid in setting this up? was not even aware you could do it that way [11:47] xstasi: you don't have shell? [11:48] Frol_, not on his computer where the strange behavior is happening [11:48] xstasi, when i create a new account, which profile do I use, desktop or administrator [11:48] xstasi: What If there no firefoxrc file inside the firefox-3.0 folder? [11:48] xstasi: oki :) [11:48] ChotaZ, make it [11:48] xstasi: what should I put inside the file? [11:48] xstasi: userdel isn't supposed to ignore the fact that $USER is logged in, if you're speaking about that. [11:48] * xstasi looks at bluenzo^nix with clueless eyes, not being used to create users with graphical [11:48] Bonez56, it's very simple actually. Install padevchooser on both, then run that app on both. On your desktop, click the icon that will appear in your taskbar, configure your local server to allow it to be discovered. Then on your client you click it and select your desktop as default server. Every application that uses pulse will then send its sound to your desktop. [11:49] ChotaZ, what i pasted you earlier [11:49] FIREFOX_DSP="pulse" [11:49] xstasi: -ao pulse [11:49] ChotaZ, that's for mplayer, not firefox [11:50] grawity, are you sure? i never experimented that [11:50] s3r3n1t7, sorry, I forgot to tell you that the netbook runs windoze XP [11:50] xstasi: thanks, how do I launch mplayer with that command? [11:50] xstasi: read 'man userdel' - it lists return code 8 as "User active" [11:51] bonez46, aah. That does indeed change things. Hmm, you send the output from your laptop through a cable to the input of your desktop? Then you should be able to change the output of that channel up. [11:51] ChotaZ, first find out if it's working - restart completely firefox once you edited the file and load something on youtube, then open a terminal and play some file with "mplayer -ao pulse somefile.mp3" and see if it works [11:51] grawity, nice [11:51] xtasi: restarting firefox [11:52] ChotaZ, honestly i never launch mplayer from nautilus, but if when you do that it opens the graphical interface for mplayer, you can try poking with it and see if you can find the audio output in the settings or something like that [11:53] xstasi: ran from terminal and works perfectly now [11:53] ChotaZ, great [11:53] xstasi: will try to find a way to launch it from nautilus like this [11:53] now have fun discovering how to make that permanent :P [11:54] xstasi, if i may make a note, from my experience mplayer follows the sound configuration which is set in the sound preferences option in preferences. [11:54] the 9.04, will be an LTS [11:54] ? [11:54] s3r3n1t7, you mean gnome's preferences or its? [11:54] lonejack: no [11:54] xstasi, gnome's [11:54] cool [11:54] xstasi: no option on mplayer to choose the outpute =( [11:55] shouldn't gnome run with pulse by default then? [11:55] ChotaZ: yes there is [11:55] jrib: where? [11:55] xstasi, , i want to create another account with identical permissions as when i installed ubuntu for first time, how do i can that? [11:55] xstasi so smallis the screen? [11:55] jrib: what a pity... [11:55] ChotaZ: right click on it -> options [11:55] lonejack: why... next lts is 10.04 [11:55] xstasi, i've set it to run with pulse yeah, but that's mainly because i send my sound through the network here. [11:55] How can I discover what kind of software raid I am using? [11:55] jrib: I searche around the preferences window and I couldnt find anything =\ [11:56] ChotaZ: try the "audio" tab? [11:56] penthief, mdadm --something, can't remember.. take a look at the manpage [11:56] ubuntistas, what? [11:56] jrib, xtasi: Thanks a lot, now I need to figure out how to do this for teamspeak xD [11:56] jrib: I'm using 8.04, is seems there are a lot of improvements on 9.04.... I've to wait! [11:56] xstasi: Thanks [11:56] bluenzo^nix, i suppose what you want to do is give him admin permissions [11:57] ChotaZ, pray it supports pulse [11:57] lonejack: you can upgrade to 9.04 from 8.04 [11:57] jrib: but isn't an LTS... [11:57] xstasi: I set the output device to dev/dsp1 and i got sound on my headset, lets see if I can launch mplayer from nautilus without a problem ^^ === Yoda is now known as Guest69505 [11:58] xstasi, cuz i removed bluenzo cuz he was a 'desktop' profile [11:58] Hi [11:58] !gdm [11:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [11:58] lonejack: well what exactly do you want from LTS? The only benefit it gives you is not having to upgrade for 3 years (ie you get no new software for 3 years but still get support for it) === Guest69505 is now known as John [11:58] ChotaZ, /dev/dsp is the OSS interface, not the pulse one... try having a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=722360 [11:58] !login [11:58] use @login [11:58] someone in here there can tell me what you can use "virtualbox" to ? i dont understand what you can use it to :O ? [11:58] John, use virtual machines [11:58] xstasi: oh k thank [11:58] John, its a virual machine if im not mistaken === avc_work is now known as acuster === John is now known as Guest95890 [11:58] bluenzo^nix, i'm not sure i'm following you [11:58] Does anyone know how to change from the kde login manager to the GNOME/XFCE one? [11:59] xstasi, nevermind :P [11:59] !gdm | Jampiter [11:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [11:59] Jampiter: dpkg-reconfigure gdm should be enough... [11:59] jrib: I thinkought the "LTS" is a version [11:59] Baww [11:59] jrib: I think the "LTS" is a version more accurate.. [11:59] Can I somehow erase ALL networks on Xchat? === Guest95890 is now known as Johnhny [12:00] jrib: Excellent. That worked. Thank you :) [12:00] Squiggy_, How do you mean? === Johnhny is now known as Johnn [12:00] jrib: the main feature I like 9.04 is ext4 support.. [12:00] lonejack: LTS just means it is supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 years on the server. Typical releases only have support for 18 months. It's really only useful imo for environments like web servers in such where you don't want to upgrade too often [12:00] Well I just installed xchat and it gives me a ton of unneeded networks [12:00] Which sucks [12:00] G'day [12:00] xstasi: Hm can you like give em an example :) ? [12:00] Squiggy_, Oh. Sure! [12:00] Squiggy_-> leave em, they do no harm [12:00] Squiggy_, i got used to it, but you can try editing ~/.xchat2/servlist_.conf [12:01] I 'll try [12:01] Brb - reboot [12:01] I had a quick question about the Ubuntu Live CD and existing NTFS partitions. I want to run an ntfsfix on the current windows disk but it says it's locked me out [12:01] Johnn, that means running an operating system in a window, basically :) [12:01] jrib: I'll upgrade it on next days... [12:01] Squiggy_, In xchat Go to XChat->Network List [12:01] RRockon, are you launching it as root? [12:02] !upgrade > lonejack [12:02] lonejack, please see my private message [12:02] xstasi: so if i got linux ubuntu on my desktop, then i can use virtualbox to run, like windows 7 in that window without installing it or what you mean ? [12:02] xtasi: Yup [12:02] hi, i'm trying to get an vpn-connection working with pptp, but i't doesn't really seem to work, anybody knows how it works and should work? [12:02] Johnn, exactly that [12:02] Squiggy_, The select the one network you don't want, and press remove. [12:02] Johnn-> you need to install it :-p [12:02] of course, you have to install it within virtualbox [12:02] Ghaa! [12:02] Johnn-> under virtual box [12:02] lukjad007, i think he prolly wanted to delete *all* networks but the one he wanted [12:02] xstasi: didnt work for me, If I take out teamspeak of the equation everything works fine. [12:03] ChotaZ, have you tried running it with the pulse wrapper? [12:03] xstasi: but if I launch teamspeka first, mplayer will crash and youtube wont output sound. [12:03] padsp, that is [12:03] xstasi, Hmm... I guess so. [12:03] jrib, doesn't that mean that there will be a version without support for 6 months? [12:03] graingert: so i need to install it ? but instead of it install it on my partion where i got ubuntu then i install it "virtualbox" and run it form there in a window :) ? [12:03] xstasi: yes, and If I lunch any other sound using application first, teamspeak will automute =\ === acuster is now known as avc_work [12:03] s3r3n1t7: no? What do you mean exactly? [12:03] xstasi: ohh okay :) [12:03] Johnn-> yes [12:04] ChotaZ, try configuring TS to use OSS and then launch it with the wrapper [12:04] Johnn-> you install it in/under virtualbox [12:04] graingert: that is brilliant !! [12:04] Johnn-> you can even have it seamless, but that's a bit pants [12:04] Johnn, there is one thing you need to be aware of, though [12:04] xstasi: so on the the output device i put dev/dsp1? [12:04] Johnn, you won't be able to use 3d acceleration inside windows [12:04] xstasi: Whats that ? [12:04] ChotaZ, yep [12:04] jrib, LTS has 3 years of support, normal versions have 18 months. Won't that mean that the version which comes right after the LTS has a period of 6 months without support while the LTS still has support? [12:05] xstasi: it was when I first tried [12:05] xstasi: 3d acceleration, what that ? [12:05] Who here is near 8:30 PM? [12:05] why virtual box, when there is Vmware Server? [12:05] ChotaZ, but you tried without the wrapper i think [12:05] s3r3n1t7: yes [12:05] Johnn, you know, videogames... 3d stuff :) [12:05] xstasi: padsp teamspeak [12:05] jrib, k, was wondering about that. [12:05] * RRockon wonders if xtasi is the resident "assistant" here atm [12:05] RRockon, atm it would seem so yeah. [12:05] ChotaZ, ran that, with teamspeak using OSS as audio? [12:05] xstasi: yes. [12:05] graingert: okay :( [12:05] hi - is ther any solution (eg in ARDOUR) to set the BPM by clicking? any tool? [12:05] s3r3n1t7: lts has 5 years support on the server, so it's even more in that case :) [12:05] how do i copy my xchat settings from 1 acct to another, i tried this: sudo cp -R ~/.xchat2 /home/bluenzo [12:06] somewhat inconvenient, looking at the amount of helpseeking individuals :) [12:06] RRockon, it happens at times. [12:06] bluenzo^nix, that won't work because if you use "sudo" then "~" will mean root's home [12:06] xstasi: ohh that kind of sucks, but, i can surf on the internet and go on msn, right ? :) [12:06] hx virtualbox works is free, and there is an ose edition [12:06] Johnn, yes you can, even though there is no apparent reason to use windows for that [12:06] xstasi, oh...woops :P [12:06] Oh well [12:06] hi, i'm lookning for somebody who can tell me why my ubuntu pauses during updates until I move my mouse or use the keybord. any idea? thx [12:06] same VMware... [12:06] xstasi, a small correction. Sudo always uses the users' home, never the root's home. [12:06] Johnn-> you can do that under linux [12:06] Server [12:06] ... [12:07] Register and you get licenses... all you want. [12:07] jrib, i see. Funny, so you're kind of forced to do lts to lts upgrades then? [12:07] hx VMwares' install system is pants [12:07] Johnn, personally, the only thing i use windows for is playing videogames, i avoid using it to surf like it was the pest [12:07] s3r3n1t7: Small addition. It's the *current shell* that expands ~ to /home/blah - sudo doesn't even know that you typed ~ [12:07] s3r3n1t7, there you go, another thing i didn't know about ubuntu :P [12:07] what game Johnn? [12:07] xstasi, how do i transfer them over then? [12:07] grawity, ah yes true. That's another way of formulating it i guess. [12:08] s3r3n1t7: yes and no. I think the plan is to release lts every 2 years so you'll always be able to jump to the latest even if it isn't lts [12:08] hx vbx has a nice deb [12:08] hx and a repo [12:08] xstasi: what's left for me to try? [12:08] bluenzo^nix, that should work actually [12:08] xstasi: hehe you right about that, but its cool anyway i think... yes i can follow you in that, but would that mean that you got a windows computer you only play on, and then you got a virtual box for surfin on the internet on ? [12:08] understood . [12:08] ChotaZ, except for prayers, i wouldn't know... try googling a bit === Snicks|TWw is now known as Snicks|eat [12:08] xstasi, doesnt it normally say success or...anything...its not saying anything back, how do i know it worked lol [12:08] jrib, i see. Well we're getting a little side tracked on the channel now. I've learned another bit of information, thanks! [12:08] bluenzo^nix, nothing is good. something is bad. [12:08] so, generally, what's the reason a partition might be 'locked'? [12:08] Feanor-F: you mean :) [12:08] Johnn, no, i have a winxp installation on a partition which i reboot to when i want to play videogames, then i reboot back to linux to do my stuff [12:08] Feanor-F: you mean :) ? [12:09] bluenzo^nix, that way - no errors is success [12:09] xstasi, lol k [12:09] yah sure [12:09] хай [12:09] xstasi: ohh, thats nice ! but how.. i mean, linux is ext3 and windows uses ntfs ? [12:09] Johnn, that's the point of having two separate partitions [12:09] sorry to interrupt here. I have a question about the panels in Ubuntu.. [12:09] half of my main hd is ntfs with winxp, the other half is ext3 with linux [12:10] thelimpkid, shoot [12:10] thelimpkid, ask the channel, only then can we help. [12:10] I want to have a panel on the background [12:10] so windows can override it [12:10] is this possible? [12:10] xstasi: hmm .. so you have another parton that you have added like a nfts partion and then installed windows xp on it ? [12:10] Johnn, kind of like that [12:11] Johnn, btw you could install ubuntu inside windows , by double click ubuntus CD in WIndows. They will use the same partition [12:11] *partition [12:11] does that even work? [12:11] thelimpkid, could you be a bit clearer what you want to do with this panel? [12:11] NTFS [12:11] hai [12:11] * grawity greets vino [12:11] Johnn, even though, specifically, you'd normally have to create the windows partition first, as while linux has no problems with that, windows finds itself going paranoia if it's not going to be installed on the first partition [12:11] hx: are you sure :O ? [12:11] Johnn: Yes. [12:11] Johnn, yes it can be done. However, there are limitation and known bugs with that method. [12:11] Johnn: It's called "Wubi install", and it uses a big file instead of a partition. [12:11] xstasi, how can i navigate to that directory to view the files i dont think it worked properly :S [12:11] Johnn, you can do that, but it's not the same [12:11] Johnn: And it doesn't support hibernation, IIRC. [12:12] I have a panel that only uses 500px of the full width. And turning off the expand option is not ideal here. I could send a screenshot of the exact situation.. [12:12] somethings are emulated [12:12] Otherwise, it's *almost* the same as normal install. [12:12] such as disk access [12:12] nobody an idea why i have these pauses - it began during the installation [12:12] Johnnm Very Sure. and in case you dont like it or have a lot of problems you could uninstall it from windows like a program. [12:12] so some things will be slower [12:12] !who | thelimpkid [12:12] thelimpkid: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:12] bluenzo^nix, cd /home/bluenzo, ls -a [12:12] thelimpkid, what do you want to do with this panel? show some information? [12:12] xstasi: hm okay, i see .. hmm.. [12:12] how can i install a java flash plug in for u tube videos [12:12] !flash | gearsecond [12:12] gearsecond: 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 [12:12] xstasi: The only difference I know is that Wubi uses a "virtual disk" - like 'loop mounting' or whatever it's called. Otherwise it's same as a normal install. [12:13] grawity: hm alright i need to read on that one i think :) [12:13] xstasi, i mean how to get inside .xchat2 [12:13] grawity, i never used wubi myself, but from what i read from the docs online they said that the wubi installation is meant to be a "last hope" thing to install [12:13] bluenzo^nix, cd /home/bluenzo/.xchat2/ [12:13] John, of course that could be achieved with the recent ubuntuS cd s. [12:13] xstasi, it says permission denied tho [12:13] xstasi: Well, I have used Wubi, and other than the install location, it works just fine. [12:14] need help, after install ubuntu over suse, grub writing error 22, whwre i find file grub??? [12:14] s3r3n1t7: I want windows to be able to move over the panel [12:14] grawity, that's mostly a "try ubuntu out" thing, i remember reading about it being slower on I/O things [12:14] thelimpkid, yes, but what do you want to show in this panel? Only some information or buttons? [12:14] bluenzo^nix, become root then [12:14] hx: hm i see .. well i think i need to read a bit on that one :) [12:14] is there a way to stream to an xbox 360 from ubuntu? [12:14] xstasi , agree with grawity. Btw why are you talking about it? was just an option.... [12:14] s3r3n1t7: the notification area, sensors-applet and the time [12:14] hx: He said it emulates things. [12:14] hx, for the sake of discussing i think [12:15] This isn't purely a help channel :/ [12:15] hi - is ther any solution (eg in ARDOUR) to set the BPM by clicking? any tool? [12:15] thelimpkid, and which application do you currently use for this? I'm thinking that conky might just serve your needs very easily. [12:15] How would an NTFS partition be locked by Ubuntu? I have root, permissions are set just fine, but it keeps telling me "Device or Resource busy" and there's a key icon in gParted next to the partition [12:15] RRockon: Maybe it's mounted? === avc_work is now known as acuster [12:15] grawity, i'll have to choose my words more wisely then [12:15] ... [12:15] s3r3n1t7: I'm using the default panels in ubuntu.. [12:15] that makes so much sense it's not even funny anymore [12:15] xstasi: i got a little problem, my wifi, when i try to open it, it doesnt open, itdoesnt anything, nothing happends, and i have installed the driver to my wireless driver. === acuster is now known as avc_work_for_rea [12:15] * grawity gains +5 Linux knowledge [12:15] бляб тут русские есть. [12:16] а то я не понимаю нифига на этой мове [12:16] !ndiswrapper [12:16] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:16] Johnn, so the thing you wanted to use windows for is just running the wifi right? [12:16] hi [12:16] * grawity greets yorirou [12:16] !pm | thelimpkid [12:16] thelimpkid: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [12:16] is it possible to install ubuntu from a kubuntu live cd? [12:16] Russman: Can you speak English? [12:17] yorirou, you can install kubuntu with that [12:17] very bad [12:17] not kubuntu [12:17] !Compiz | ChotaZ [12:17] ChotaZ, please see my private message [12:17] but then turn it in an ubuntu by installing "ubuntu-desktop" [12:17] xstasi: i have planned it, but i take it back, i will first try to get it to work in ubuntu here. [12:17] i speak engleash [12:17] thelimpkid, i see. You can use the auto hide option in the properties to hide these panels, so that windows can occupy the space. [12:17] Johnn, that's what i want to hear :] [12:17] yorirou, Yes. But you will have to then remove all KDE stuff or leave then and install ubuntu-desktop package. [12:17] Hello Guys.. How to mount initrd image? [12:17] i need know place, where grub file [12:17] yorirou, same Core. [12:17] help please [12:17] xstasi: good :) hehe [12:17] yorirou, yes, but you have to install gnome and remove kde stuff [12:18] peerless, -t cramfs i think [12:18] Russman, /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:18] xstasi: but you got anny idea about it ? :) [12:18] thx [12:18] Johnn-> what is your wifi device? [12:18] xstasi it didnt work [12:18] peerless, what is the command you typed? [12:18] i ve donloaded the flash plug in of javascript but i dont know how to install it [12:18] gearsecond-> there is no flash plugin of javascript [12:18] John, if you have the windows driver, you could use it with ndsiwrapper Program to make your wireless device function under linux [12:18] mount -t ext2 -o loop /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.2-custom /mnt/test/ [12:18] s3r3n1t7: That's not exactly what I want. Is there a way to customize the width of a panel (not the expand option, because I can't move it and customize it the way I want to) [12:19] I tried that and also cramfs [12:19] peerless, didn't i just tell you "-t cramfs"? [12:19] to make it work under* [12:19] oh [12:19] VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop0. [12:19] xstasi: but you got anny idea about it ? : [12:19] i;ve seen the page u told me [12:19] I am getting that error in dmesg [12:19] bu ti dont know what to do :S [12:19] xstasi: i would mean that it is this one " Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller " [12:19] graingert: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller [12:19] Johnn, it should work then.. [12:19] I dont know what I did. xchat doesnt work on my other account, I get an error, Something about "There was an error" and something about "bindings" and "configuration" [12:20] xstasi: yes but it doesnt, i have tried to get it to work many days now :( .. [12:20] thelimpkid, you'll have to find an alternative for the default action bars then. Avant has some good reviews. [12:20] peerless, i wouldn't know then [12:20] but what are you mounting it for? [12:20] hi, im trying to bunzip2 a file with "sudo bunzip2 file.tar.bz2" but cursor jaust moves to the next line and nothing else happens (hardy).any help? [12:20] xstasi thanks [12:21] unik_: I think it isn't supposed to say anything. [12:21] I have a pkg problem after upgrade to jaunty - strace'd it down to a file /var/lib/dpkg/info/libneon27-gnutls.list - any access of that file seg faults [12:21] s3r3n1t7: Oke, thank you. [12:21] unik_: why use sudo? [12:21] peerless, if you want to customize an initrd, what you'd have to do is working with mkinitrd, not edit the initrd itself [12:21] by any program - more, file etc.. [12:21] unik_: check to see if file.tar exists now... In any case why don't you just double click on the file? [12:21] unik_: Also, if you're going to untar it later, you don't need to bunzip - just tar xvf file.tar.bz2 [12:21] Question, I can redistribute ubuntu with apps ready? I mean the most common stuff that user have to install? [12:21] xstasi: i am trying to add a module in it to boot my qemu [12:22] peerless, then tell mkinitrd to add it [12:22] !remaster | hx [12:22] hx: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [12:22] unik_, in general most commands don't say much unless told to do so.\ [12:22] I dont know what I did. xchat doesnt work on my other account, I get an error, Something about "There was an error" and something about "bindings" and "configuration" [12:22] jrib i know that remaster is the tool [12:22] a few years back, it was like /etc/mkinitrd/modules [12:22] graingert: This is my Wifi device graingert : Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller [12:22] poke around there [12:22] Im asking if it is ILLEGAL!? [12:22] bluenzo^nix, hmm... [12:22] xstasi: Cant i mount and add files ? [12:22] for example, nvidia drivers ready, mp3 plugins ready? [12:22] hx: Why would modifying a part of Linux be illegal? [12:22] hx: ask a lawyer for legal advice [12:22] alright guys im having trouble with samba sharing everytime i try and connect via a windows pc it says connection refused, but i can see the machine and ping it with no probs [12:22] peerless, no, you can tell mkinitrd to include a certain module into its output files, and then launch mkinitrd [12:22] hx depends on what you include. some of those things are legally prohibited from being redistriobuted. [12:22] i cant even excecute command after that and thats seem strage to me (not very familiar also) [12:23] jrib, it is illegal right? thats why ubuntu doesnt ship with then [12:23] hx: thats why they are often not included in the big disrtos. [12:23] it also depends on the laws in his country [12:23] "xchat There was an error loading key bindings configuration" [12:23] unik_: well then the command is still working [12:23] Johnn-> should work in >gutsy [12:23] hx: ubuntu takes a very 'high' ground approach and tries to not infringe on anything. other disrtos include the stuff and get away with it. [12:23] bluenzo, funny... [12:23] hx: distribute the nvidia kernel alongside with the kernel braks the gpl license the kernel uses [12:23] understood. [12:24] hx: with mp3 the probelm is royalties [12:24] Because it is propietary [12:24] what should i do so that i can pay the you tube windows [12:24] videos [12:24] but for example [12:24] hello, updated to 8.10 today, and suddenly gnash was my default flashplayer, how do I choose adobe flash as default? [12:24] xstasi, whats that mean? :S [12:24] application that are in standard repos like programming ones. [12:24] gearsecond: install the ubuntu-restricted-extras packages [12:24] graingert: gutsy, whats that ? [12:24] example, monodevelop? [12:24] olleorama: click on the lego on the bottom right of the firefox window when you are on a page using flash [12:25] bluenzo, i have no clue.. but *just by guessing*, did you chown it? [12:25] Johnn-> version of ubuntu [12:25] chown it? no [12:25] sudo chown -R bluenzo /home/bluenzo/.xchat2 [12:25] Johnn-> seems like you need the rtl8185 driver [12:25] BBL - Showering, Making myself smell gewd. [12:25] hx: there is no problem with monodevelop afaics but ianal [12:25] Johnn-> can you modprobe that? [12:26] jrib, I don't get the lego, I have flashblock installed, so I only get a flash-logo [12:26] Johnn-> http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true [12:26] If im right, i can redistribute it with apps that are gpl licensed right? [12:26] i think that worked xstasi what did that do? [12:26] brb [12:26] olleorama: then purge whatever you don't want and keep adobe [12:26] thnx all, anything its ok, a just was harry :p [12:26] hx: or bsd or perl artistic or mitx etc... === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [12:26] ciao a tutti [12:26] !it [12:26] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [12:27] mashman: I don't think so... drivers need much more than normal programs. [12:27] cat /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` | gzip -d | cpio -i [12:27] thats the command i used [12:27] jrib, it seems I have a lot of other stuff that are dependent of flash [12:28] uh, gnash I mean [12:28] olleorama: pastebin [12:28] graingert: which one of the drivers should i install ? [12:28] mandar: Transmission and Deluge for BitTorrent, LinuxDC++ for DC, I think. [12:29] olleorama, ls /etc/alternatives/*flash* [12:29] and update-alternatives --config {each of those} [12:29] and make sure they all point to the adobe thingy [12:29] what is the Terminal? [12:29] gearsecond, applications -> accessories -> terminal [12:30] Johnn-> the rtl8185 one [12:30] wait... [12:30] Johnn-> maybe a modprobe ing it?

[12:32] and to be sure, do the same with all the other entries [12:32] * RRockon does not recall who helped, but there you go :) [12:32] Johnn-> it should work fine in the latest ubuntu [12:33] Johnn-> as the rtl8185 driver had been unblacklisted [12:33] My frnd's computer has C D and F full , but not E ..... 10 g left in E// if i choose "resize and use freeed spce" will ubuntu go with DRIVE E ? [12:33] Kimi: no [12:33] Kimi: it will resize the partitions you tell it to and put it in it's own partition [12:33] ikonia then only C wheere xp is installed ? [12:34] thx xstasi [12:34] Kimi: no [12:34] Kimi: it will create it's OWN partition [12:34] xstasia virtualbox too slow dude because i have 512mb [12:34] of ram [12:34] Johnn-> here is a guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=564419 [12:34] that sucks mate [12:34] ikonia, i mean,. it will cut :P only C and install in its own partiton [12:34] xstasi, strange thing is I had a libflashplugin.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins all the time [12:34] graingert: okay so itry wo download the Windows XP/2000 driver under r818x , right ? [12:34] Kimi: it will resize what you tell it to resize [12:35] olleorama, not that strange [12:35] Johnn-> no, but close enough [12:35] the alternatives system is used for that purpose - avoiding conflicts [12:35] graingert: then what do you mean :) ? [12:35] ikonia. i have installed in other frnd's computers... (5 - 6 times) but i didnt tell it anything..... instead i choose a dragger and pulled side to side and gave 50 % to ubuntu ... thats all.. i didnot tell it the drive C or D or whatever [12:35] xstasi, still refers that gnash is my default flashplayer, I will purge it now [12:36] Kimi: and thats what you'll get on this time [12:36] olleorama, that's a good plan too. [12:36] Kimi: it will over you a menu to shrink what you want to shrink [12:36] ok [12:36] ikonia, so can i choose E ? then how ? [12:36] i mean, from where to choose E ? [12:36] Kimi: when you select "manual" you can resize what you want [12:37] ikonia, forgive my english if you find mistakes and cant understand [12:37] ikonia ok [12:37] Kimi, unfortunately you can't be explained what the mat*cough* partition manager is, you'll have to find out by yourself [12:37] is doing "manual" safe : ? :P :P because i have never done it [12:37] graingert: ohh you mean i need to download the "Linux driver for kernel 2.6.22" right :D ? [12:37] Manual is safe, as long as you're careful when you do it, Kimi [12:37] Kimi, if you know what you are doing it is [12:37] xstasi how can i delete the iso file i created? [12:37] Kimi: no more / less safe than the person controlling it [12:37] Kimi, it's normally safer to let him do everything [12:38] Johnn-> no [12:38] what is "him" mean here / [12:38] Johnn-> use the windows one, blacklist the linux one, and get ndiswrapper [12:38] xstasi, what is "him" ,mean here >? [12:38] ubuntistas, it's not an iso, but go on the virtualbox disk manager and erase it [12:38] xstasi, ok now everything works [12:38] i erased it [12:38] graingert: which windows one ? and i got the ndiswrapper :) [12:38] Kimi, i'm sorry, on my native language we don't have a "it".. i was refering to the installer :) [12:38] is borgchat available for ubuntu??

[12:39] gearsecond: compiz fushion is installed on all ubuntu machine 7.10 or later by default [12:39] ikonia can you give me link which teach me "manual" ? [12:39] Kimi: no [12:39] gearsecond, the reason ikonia said [12:39] graingert: then i only can see i should download this one "UI Package and driver (support Win98WinMEWin2KWinXPVista) " if you dont mean that, then i really dont know :o [12:39] ikonia thanks :-| [12:39] hi, i am running a 9.04 system (fresh install). there are four virtual desktops (compiz running) and I see that there is a way to switch desktops using the mouse/touchpad. but i don't understand how it works... does someone know?

[12:50] xstasi: no, it's just a development product that uses java a lot, it takes a bit of effort to setup well, and it is quite unstable [12:50] xstasi: with effort it works fine [12:50] Petein, hmm [12:50] then install java-package [12:50] ssscrudddy: it is usually better to install the nvidia drivers from the synaptic manager [12:50] and let it make an ubuntu .deb from the sun installer [12:50] i want to install compiz [12:50] gearsecond: it's already installed [12:50] I am having openoffice.org problems. is this something nobody has, or what ? [12:50] gearsecond: you have been told 3 times [12:50] ikonia, i assume you tried it then - what you mean "effort"? [12:51] I didn't do anything special to the system. [12:51] ssscrudddy: I usually always face similar problem if I try to install it from the hardware section [12:51] but how to activate that [12:51] ziroday: thanks buddy! [12:51] sobersabre, my OOo works just fine, maybe you have to ask on openoffice chat [12:51] xstasi: used it many time, intergrating it as your X desktop can be a pain, the JVM it wants to use is quite fussy etc etc. just takes effort/time to set it up properly [12:51] !ccsm > gearsecond [12:51] gearsecond, please see my private message [12:51] xstasi: [12:51] I did nobody there has any clues. [12:51] gearsecond, read the links being given you please [12:51] hi [12:52] ikonia, doesn't that just add a session to the gdm thingy and you run from that? or i'm too much of a positive dreamer? [12:52] xstasi: which ooo and which ubuntu are you using ? [12:52] how can I disable default "work offline" behaviour in firefox? [12:52] ikonia: I reinstalled ubuntu...but I didn't lose any data I reselected my root as the root again and installed without formatting! it worked, I onlt had to install a few softwares again but all the data is still there!! [12:52] where does cron send its messages standard? [12:52] sobersabre, 8.10 [12:52] xstasi: nah, not that easy, try it [12:52] ikonia, i am, just asking while it downloads :P [12:52] dhruvasagar: why are you telling me this ? [12:52] ikonia: hmmm perhaps you don't remember me... [12:52] xstasi: ahh, if you are aware of how X works - it's quite straight forward [12:52] dhruvasagar: sorry , no [12:52] ikonia, come on, don't be that mysterious [12:53] ikonia: its alright :), I thought you forgot my problem yesterday :D [12:53] or are you trying not to deprive me of all the fun? :P [12:53] xstasi: nothing mysterious about it [12:53] ikonia: my gdm was kindof failing and I was banging my head against the logs only to find no errors [12:53] dhruvasagar: ooh yes, I remember [12:53] ikonia: :) [12:54] thank you, re graphcis drivers, I shall try the synaptic thing. hopefully I wont be back. fwiw I used the same proccess on the 1st machine & it worked fine [12:54] gimpscape: in the menu File-> you will find the work offline checkbox, you can deselect it when you need to in case firefox enables it for some reason on its own [12:54] <|PaperTiger|> Is there any way to get a program to default open in a certian desktop window? [12:55] ssscrudddy: you just install the drivers from synaptic and then enable them from the hardware section, that should work just fine [12:55] ssscrudddy: that is how I do... [12:55] ok thanks, im trying it now [12:55] |PaperTiger|: desktop window? do you mean a workspace? [12:57] i'm really having a lot of trouble: where does ubuntu's cron send its messages to, please [12:57] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar: Yeah, probably. [12:57] this IS the ubuntu channel right? [12:57] i have not even received a answer here for the last 48 hours [12:57] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar: Multiple desktops. And I want a program to open to one of them by default. For example Pidgin opening in desktop/workspace 4 by default [12:58] |PaperTiger|: this should help you perhaps http://live.gnome.org/DevilsPie [12:59] ward-: yes it is :) [12:59] ward-: oh I have been here only for the last 5 minutes [12:59] ward-: sometimes it happens, you need to ask your question again sometimes...

I like it 'cos it's shiny :P [13:02] Dreamglider, so i need to give it every path of files i need? [13:02] like this: PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin [13:02] |PaperTiger|: yep prop drivers cause problems often, I have found synaptic the best choice while dealing with them, any other medium doesn't always quite work [13:02] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar, I had GNOME for a while before, but when I decided to go for a full Linux installation, I wanted something really pretty :P [13:03] <|PaperTiger|> Adept is the Synaptic quiv on Kubuntu ;) [13:03] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar, but both work the same way :) [13:03] |PaperTiger|: well I don't know why, but I just like GNOME better...the look and feel that is [13:03] |PaperTiger|: absolutely :) [13:04] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar, fair enough. I'll have to google my question. As for prop drives, any suggestions? [13:04] |PaperTiger|: oh now I know [13:04] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar, I know it's fglrx drivers I need? Search on pkgmgr? [13:04] where can i download emssenger for my xubuntu from? [13:04] adobe acroread is not in synaptic... did it get removed? [13:04] |PaperTiger|: yes I would suggest that [13:04] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar, okay. Thanks :) [13:04] what is the repository that holds Adobe Acrobat? [13:04] |PaperTiger|: but you should just also check out ubuntu's wiki for ATI driver installation that should help you avoid putfalls [13:05] what_if: it's in the medibuntu repository [13:05] |PaperTiger|: pitfalls* [13:05] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar, I'll do a backup beforehand though...

[13:11] ahh [13:11] <|PaperTiger|> iceroot, I just used whatever I could find, and Konversation seemed a good choice :) [13:12] hi all, this may sound crazy, but i have an 4gbs mp4 with a small tft, an old pendrive and a infrared mouse, do you think i can use ubuntu embedded there? [13:12] |PaperTiger|: yes its ok but irssi + screen = bnc [13:12] iceroot: sry for that, I though |PaperTiger| mentioned iceroot as something similar to IRC that I didn't know about so I asked ... :) [13:12] dhruvasagar: ok :) [13:12] <|PaperTiger|> dhruvasagar & iceroot: Sorry to confuse you both =) [13:12] iceroot: what's bnc? [13:13] iceroot: Correction: irssi + screen + irssiproxy = bnc [13:13] <|PaperTiger|> iceroot I was going to ask that too :P [13:13] dhruvasagar: bouncer [13:13] grawity: nope. irssi + screen + ssh [13:13] dhruvasagar: bnc is an abbrev. for bouncer - a program that relays your IRC connection so that you can appear online 24/7.

[13:14] i'm on ubuntu 8.04, so terminal uses the monospace font [13:14] skittles: just do edit->profile preferences [13:14] hmm when i try to unpack the theme in the theme folder (manually, not terminal b/c i'm still learning) it says i dont have permission [13:14] no way? [13:14] oh no no, not that terminal [13:14] iceroot: Why not? [13:15] when you display the command line interface [13:15] grawity: why needing irssi-proxy for a bouncer? [13:15] could any one know is there any way to install Eye Of Gnome in windoes? [13:15] skittles: your talking about gnome-terminal right? [13:15] Dreamglider, sorry that is of no help since ubuntu just kills the mailing part of cron [13:15] BAH === GUI is now known as Guest72114 [13:15] iceroot: irssiproxy lets you use any other IRC client if you don't want to use irssi at the moment.

[13:17] grawity: irssi is an irc-client [13:17] iceroot: And what if I *want* one? [13:17] iceroot: and I know what's irssi, I *am* using it at the moment. [13:17] I really think chatzilla is probably the best [13:17] iceroot: (without screen, but it's still irssi over ssh) [13:17] oh ok, that's fine. thank you for your help though. [13:18] grawity: so why are you saying yu need irssiproxy to have a bnc? i have said that you only need irssi + screen + ssh for bnc [13:18] Anyone here free to answer a question?

[13:36] aprilhare, those are in ubuntu or ubuntu-affiliated repos [13:36] hi [13:36] remu: hmmmm [13:37] bazhang: actually the 64 bit version of flash nonfree i'm using isn't in the repos but yeah point taken [13:37] I think gnomebaker is better than bresaro [13:37] brasero* [13:37] jrib: rest of applications run fine, nautilus opens the file browser as usual. [13:38] Can samone help me installing ubuntu via lan ? [13:38] Hello there, Ubuntu-ers. =] [13:38] ultrasonic: and can you click now? === Intrepid is now known as Guest5215 [13:38] dhruvasagar, I know, its confusing [13:38] yay for other, more helpful people! http://flexman.info/2008/10/14/how-to-uninstall-adobe-air-application-in-ubuntu/ === Guest5215 is now known as Bryantos [13:39] jrib, nautilius shows folders/files in Desktop and it works, but my Desktop doesnt show any. [13:39] remu: yes...maybe you will have to go offline or something to forcefully stop it or something...or maybe someone with more insight should speak up, why don't you ask the problem again [13:39] hi [13:39] somethings wrong with my firefox [13:39] ultrasonic: ok. Nautilus is supposed to handle that. What is the output of the command « gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop »? [13:39] when i open it i get just a gray screen [13:40] ultrasonic: maybe there are no folders in your desktop [13:40] knoppix: have you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html ? [13:40] sadaiyappan: hi, what is wrong? [13:40] dhruvasagar, what do you mean go offline?

[13:42] matamou: do lsb_release -a [13:42] matamou, the last [13:42] remu: apt-get remove --purge maybe? [13:42] sadaiyappan: did you try to restart again? try sudo killall firefox in a terminal and then open firefox [13:42] What's "network status agent"?

[13:42] Getting error during make [13:42] "network-status-agent.c: In function ‘init_nm_connection’:" [13:42] matamou: simpler: go to System -> About Ubuntu [13:43] Thanks! [13:43] AntiNeko: what are you making? [13:43] USlab menu [13:43] AntiNeko: also that looks like an issue with the app, not a dependency [13:43] okay working now, thx [13:43] The program that I'm making or Network Status Agent? [13:43] AntiNeko: the app you are making [13:43] "USlab is a fork of SUSE Enterprise Desktop 10' menu" [13:43] jrib, output "true" [13:43] Ok [13:44] morning [13:44] *trying another version* [13:44] Can samone help me instaling ubuntu via Lan ?? [13:44] ultrasonic: hmmm why don't you check the permissions of your desktop [13:44] AntiNeko: its probably best you ask for help from that respective project [13:44] matamou, you can also found out by opening terminal, and typing "cat /etc/issue" (Just found that from a google search.) [13:44] ultrasonic: grep -i XDG_DESKTOP ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [13:44] Alright, thanks [13:44] If I install Ubuntu on a portable hard drive will I be able to carry it around with me like a flash drive install? [13:44] found = find* [13:44] matrixblue: yes [13:45] thanks [13:45] matrixblue: if you use the "Create a USB Startup Disk" utility [13:45] Bryantos: thanks, I used that System-> About Ubuntu, seemed the simplest way [13:45] Hello. Is there a pulse equivilant to alsamixer? A ncurses volume control :-) [13:45] Yes Matrix, just be sure whatever computer you're using has the boot order set to boot from USB before the HD [13:45] I was thinking of doing a full install [13:45] matamou, I know, I just thought that way was neat. ;) [13:45] matrixblue: err a full install should still work [13:45] When I try to connect to the Internet it fails (cannot connect) and I get the following message: [13:45] Mar 28 16:54:06 Freakosis kernel: [ 125.826718] IN= OUT=ppp0 SRC=10.162.182.218 DST=203.50.2.71 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=21992 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=40717 DPT=53 LEN=40 [13:46] hehe, okay :) [13:46] matrixblue: just be careful where you stick grub [13:46] doesn anyone know what is wrong? [13:46] Is normal that apt-get update failed to fetch all Translations-en_US package? I have 9.04beta but ht ebehaviour is for 8.10 too. [13:46] So Ubuntu auto detects hardware on every boot? [13:46] knoppix, you will need ubuntu netinstall cd first [13:46] matrixblue: yes [13:46] Hello. Why do the system calls in Linux all have "__NR_" as a prefix? [13:46] Can samone help me instaling Ubuntu via Lan ?? [13:46] :| [13:46] ultrasonic, i have it [13:46] giarca: go into ubuntu+1 [13:47] matrixblue: yes [13:47] Freakazo, tell more. 10.162.182.218 you know what it si? [13:47] *is? [13:47] matrixblue: not just ubuntu, every os [13:47] anyone? :| [13:47] you block that ip to connect to your 53 [13:47] that is dns port [13:47] matrixblue, I wrote is a 8.10 behaviour too [13:47] jrib, output is XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" [13:47] I think that that is the IP adress that is given to my mobile broadband device (ppp0) [13:48] ultrasonic: my guess is something else is drawing your desktop then [13:48] Not so much with Windows. If I take my hard drive out and connect it to another PC I normally get a blue screen if the hardware is too different [13:48] and the second IP is the dns server they gave me [13:48] I used 8.10 since 2 days ago and I hope 9.04 will solve that problem [13:48] jrib, could compiz be the reason? [13:48] ultrasonic: try closing all nautilus instances and starting it again [13:49] Freakazo, are you filtering outgoing traffic? [13:49] giarca: the porblem may be with your connection [13:49] matrixblue, no 404 error [13:49] knoppix, ok you will need to boot through it , it will be text based installer [13:49] just ignore that package [13:49] ultrasonic, yea but its not working [13:49] i tell better. apt-get just ignore that translations [13:49] matrixblue: but windows also checks for all hardware components during boot, hard disk is a major drive...if that's not found it will not be able to boot...though it depends on how many hdd you have etc etc [13:50] hit all repo and fail all translation-en_US [13:50] <_thebig_> !ciao [13:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about ciao [13:50] if I remove all package language I solve that strange behavioue [13:50] matrixblue: and anyways windows sucks so it fails :D, but it does autodetect the hardware [13:50] knoppix, were you able to connect to repository? [13:50] but I don't know if I can relog :P [13:50] giarca: why do the system calls in Ubuntu all have "__NR_" as a prefix? [13:50] giarca: do you have any third party repositories? [13:50] in fact the BIOS does too [13:50] giarca, as far as I'm aware no. I have set up IP masquarading (for internet connection sharing) between ppp0 (the device connecting to the internet) and what I presume is a fake device; tap0 [13:50] matrixblue, only medibuntu [13:50] matrixblue: its called POST, Post On Self Test [13:50] ultrasonic, im unable to boot via lan :/ [13:51] pokey19: not sure, but wherre are you seeing this?

[13:52] Freakazo, pastebin sudo iptables -L [13:52] I run 9.04 and 8.10 depending on which machine I'm on and I haven't gotten those errors [13:52] Which language you running? [13:52] Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5270 @ 1.40GHz [13:52] sadaiyappan, you can use a utility like cpu-z to find out [13:52] matrixblue, damn... is it possibile beacuse I'm italian using en_US? [13:52] sadaiyappan_: thats 64bit [13:52] jrib, it worked .. i killed nautilus and i got back my desktop .. thanks [13:52] ubottu: sorry, what is wrong with my question?

[13:54] I'm not sure [13:54] copy and paste the error again [13:54] matrixblue, is that possible I cannot choose the language I want?

[14:25] hi all, how can i convert a file to iso format? [14:25] haytham-med: What format do you have now? [14:25] LjL : but i dont need an iso, i just need to burn the data... why make a process more complicated when it can be done less complicated? (i know im stubborn) :-P [14:25] zip [14:25] grawity: but did you know any msn programs there were comptable with webcam :) ? [14:25] or just a normal folder [14:25] Johnn: can you see her cam using amsn? if not her router and your's might not be configured for the right ports.. really you want to look for a client that has stunn support so you don't have to mess with the router.. ekiga has that and is available for windows too.. she can run it next to her msn clients.. both at the same time. === Nicke_ is now known as Nicke [14:26] Hi everyone [14:26] scunizi: Hmm .. okay i will try that ekiga :)! [14:27] kristian_: because it makes doing the md5 check much easier. [14:27] LjL : but won't "md5deep -r -x /media/cdrom0/.checksum.md5 ~/media/cdrom0" work instead of "md5deep -r -x /media/cdrom0/.checksum.md5 ~/dir" then? i know comparing it to disc will give me one mismatch which is the actual .checksum.md5 file, but ill just ignore that... [14:27] Johnn: it's already built into ubuntu [14:27] I need some help: I installed Ubuntu 8.10 32 bits and I have a Geforce 6150 but I cant make the drivers work [14:27] ikonia, yea but if i hmm understand this https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html at end is tft info ;) [14:27] I have tried installing the restricted drivers and the ones from the nvidia website but nothing happens [14:27] kristian_: it should work, yes. it'll probably be slower. [14:27] Johnn: Btw, Ekiga doesn't support MSN, so it won't work if your friends aren't using some sort of SIP service. [14:28] knoppix: yes, that makes sense [14:28] gabriel-> don't install them from nvidia's website [14:28] knoppix: so it has to be in the tftproot [14:28] knoppix: which I doubt /media is [14:28] ikonia: working perfectly ;)) [14:28] gabriel-> you have just pwnd your ubuntu installation! congrats! [14:28] I tried with the restricted drivers but they do not activate [14:28] LjL : don't really mind, if it is slower, as long as it doesn't take an hour. i just want to burn a data dvd and compare hdd data with disc data correctly. [14:28] gabriel-> yes, yes they do [14:28] grawity: But which does then, are there really not a msn program for linux where its possbile to watch a windows user over msn ?? [14:29] The drivers download but nothing happens after that [14:29] Johnn-> amsn [14:29] hey folks, im trying to move "some" files and i dont have a lot of space left right now, so... do u know any way one can move a dir or files one at the time, im moving by hand right now and it takes years lol ;P thx [14:29] Johnn-> amsn works fine [14:29] I cant enable the effects [14:29] gabriel-> you should not download them from nvidia's site. [14:29] gabriel-> attempt to uninstall them [14:30] What should I do, graingert? [14:30] grawity: i have tried that wit her, and everytime she tries to send me and invitation to her webcam then without i do anything writes back to her that i didnt accept.

[14:30] i'm getting an error every time i update my source [14:30] how do I uninstall the drivers? [14:30] Johnn: And... have you tried sending the invitation to her? [14:31] gabriel: http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos/ [14:31] gabriel-> it should say on the site that you used to bork your pc [14:31] grawity: i dont have a webcam, she only got one, and yes i ahve also tried that . :( [14:31] ok [14:32] i'm using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid [14:34] how do u resolve an source error "W: Failed to fetch http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/dists/dapper/Release.gpg Could not connect to packages.freecontrib.org:80 (34.52.53.34), connection timed out" [14:34] ron2010, remove from your sources.list [14:34] update i'm using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid [14:34] ron2010-> don't use dapper repos [14:35] ahhh [14:35] is there one for intrepid?

Windows->nas also 2Mb/s. [14:43] mrwes-> the virtualbox addition [14:43] mrwes: did you install the virtualbox addon/goodies and reboot the machine? [14:43] kbrosnan: that works [14:43] rioch_-> sftp rather than samba? [14:43] kbrosnan: and now it started working in normal mode too O.o [14:44] I need to know an easy way to install nvidia drivers [14:44] graingert, I get the same problem whether it's sftp, ftp, nfs, and samba [14:44] gabriel: which graphics card model do you have?

I know I can of course change the app settings in FF to download by default, but does anyone know of a fix?

[14:52] HammerHead66, it wasnt on any of my 4 desktops [14:52] Hey there, I'm trying to use the programmiCam2 and it doesn't work. I tried to install it with configure and make and it didn't seem to have any error.. but now when I try to open it, it says it can't open the config file icam2rc.. I don't know why, or how to fix it.. or how to get to know why it's not working. Any chance someone can help? [14:52] I dont like the KDE libs that come with amarok [14:52] so rhythmbox all the way :) [14:52] Adminral-> what error msg [14:53] HammerHead88, nvm I got it to work now, thanks =D [14:53] macman: Is it a Wubi install or a normal one?

I've never had that problem sorry man [14:53] |PaperTiger|: I suppose [14:53] PaperTiger, I'm not sure what you mean. I opened Amarok first time and it let me choose where my music where located and it's been easy from there on [14:53] usser: never heard of it :P [14:55] hey anny guy's hwo wanna help me with my network problem on Ubuntu server edition [14:55] any tools for ubuntu like ccleaner? [14:55] what is better way to play windows games in ubuntu? [14:55] hey anny guy's hwo wanna help me with my network problem on Ubuntu server edition [14:55] AntiNeko: Check this guide: http://howtoforge.com/installing-ubuntu-system-panel-on-ubuntu-8.10 [14:55] Ranakah: there's only one way, using wine [14:55] Thanks, I will! [14:55] zilleplus: please ask your question [14:55] clearscreen1, try it :) [14:55] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, fair enough [14:55] grawity, no .. i installed ubuntu first .. then i partitioned and then installed windows [14:55] usser: I'll put it on my list of things to try :P [14:55] okay.. wine and only wine? i try cedega and don't work anything :) [14:55] wel hammer i have no internet on my server thats the problem [14:55] Ranakah, clearscreen1 well theres two ways now, virtualbox now supports 3d acceleration [14:55] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, would probably make sense if I actually plugged in the HDD with my music and stuff on it [14:55] on ifconfig the adr : 127.0.0.1 [14:56] macman: So it's "normal" install (as in not-Wubi) [14:56] usser really? d3d acceleration? what version of virtualbox? [14:56] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, because Amarok looks good, but also complex to use at the same time [14:56] yes grawity [14:56] i looked and the problem is not with the drivers [14:56] zilleplus: ur havinbg a proxy problem [14:56] VLC works fine as a music player, if you mean you want a media player that you can just drag and drop to and it'll play [14:56] * ShackJack likes Banshee well enough... [14:56] how do i fix it?? === o|__|Zipp is now known as |Zippo| [14:56] so if i install windows xp in virtual box i can play d3d games now? [14:56] PaperTiger: I came from Foobar in Windows and felt very comfortable with Amarok [14:56] Ranakah, i ran maxpayne2, thats a directx game, the latest version from sun's site [14:56] don't need proxy [14:56] zilleplus: 1 sec [14:56] Ranakah, some of them, the support is still rudimentary [14:57] PaperTiger: The GUI isn't really simple, but I got used to it fast [14:57] usser then i install windows in vb and then graphic driver? [14:57] Ranakah, i tested on an nvidia 8600gt. oldish games worked pretty decent, maxpayne, openarena, googleearth [14:57] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, I came from WinAMP in Windows and still getting used to Amarok, but in all fairness, when I was using Ubuntu before, I used to search for the files on the HDD and open them, rather than libray as I have ~9k songs and that would take forever to get them in a library [14:58] Even with 3d acceleration in a VM, wine is prefered, there's no emulation layer.. and it works really well for a lot of games & sogtware [14:58] hi [14:58] software* [14:58] Ranakah, no Virtualbox has a tick in the VM preferences, enable 3d accel, then you just install virtualbox guest additions, no drivers [14:58] can samone help me instaling ubuntu via lan neetboot ??? [14:58] |PaperTiger|: You could look at XMMS [14:58] hammer your there?? [14:58] PaperTiger: Oh, haha, I see. That's alot of songs. Though... I've got 8k! [14:58] usser nice nice... tnx!!! :D i go now to play with vb [14:58] <|PaperTiger|> andrew_, what's that? [14:58] PaperTiger: I just found out [14:58] :) [14:58] after last firefox update, firefox doesn't work properly [14:58] Ranakah, but i'd still recommend wine though, VB is if you want to play around with, for now at least [14:58] It's a linux media player based off winamp 2.0 [14:58] zilleplus: http://search.ubuntu.com/results2.html?cx=009650792990864903260%3A-lsdjshi1tu&cof=FORID%3A11&ie=UTF-8&q=how+to+set+up+proxy&sa=Search#1057 [14:59] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, mine is mainly metal :) [14:59] <|PaperTiger|> andrew_, ah, okay [14:59] |PaperTiger|, xmms is deprecated and no longer in the repos, try audacious or bmp [14:59] PaperTiger: That's nice, man. ;D [14:59] Visually, it's very similar to winamp vs the "itunes" look amarok has [14:59] PaperTiger: What about Banshee? Isn't that progg kinda like Amarok [14:59] usser: yeah, if you're looking for something similar to winamp you should really check out audacious :) [14:59] I wish they'd do foobar2000 for linux ;( [15:00] <|PaperTiger|> usser, thanks for telling me that :) [15:00] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, I'm going to stick it out with Amarok for a while, see how it goes... [15:00] Came from Foobar2000 but fell for Amarok [15:00] hammer i don't have squid installed [15:00] Banshee's a good proggie but be sure to add there repo for latest version... [15:00] I use amarok now since banshee and rhythmbox have problems with my chinese music [15:01] can samone help me instaling ubuntu via lan neetboot [15:01] <|PaperTiger|> andrew_, I hated iTunes, not for look, but the fact it used a lot of system resources [15:01] It acts weird with the characters [15:01] zilleplus: that was a search there are many pages to go through [15:01] Hey! Amarok has problems with my chinese music [15:01] AntiNeko: Amarok 1.x or 2? I don't know if I like what they've done with 2... :s [15:01] |PaperTiger|: my real problem with iTunes is the associated stuff it installs on the system without asking [15:01] yes i know but i haven't istalled a proxy [15:01] PaperTiger: I'm using 1.4 I think [15:01] <|PaperTiger|> Esvandiary, that's true. It now installs Safari, doesn't it? [15:01] zilleplus: or you can goolge How to set up a proxy [15:01] It tries to [15:01] IT does ask you whether or not if you want to [15:02] Hum... I just tried to run a psx emulator with Wine, and it crashes, no my screen is darker, how do I set it back? [15:02] i have no internet on it so i can't get it on it [15:02] I believe that was a "mistake" on their part (the installing without asking you, anyway) [15:02] IT asks me everytime I start up itunes on my laptop [15:02] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, 1.4.10 for me [15:02] can anyone help me, I deleted a panel and now when I minimize open programs they disappear off screen and I can no longer see them to maxamize [15:02] hi guys.. i installed java.. but firefox doesnt have it installed as a plugin.. can anybody help me do that? [15:02] PaperTiger: I check and that's the one I got as well [15:02] epaphus: I assume you've tried restarting firefox? [15:02] usser where in vb i enable 3d? [15:02] <|PaperTiger|> andrew_, I hate using typical programs. I always use different ones to everyone else XD [15:03] PaperTiger: Can't get the Wikipedia-thing working though [15:03] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, cool :) I'll stick with it and play around [15:03] Ranakah, did you install PUEL version from sun.com? [15:03] hum.. no from repository.. [15:03] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, I just want it to play music and maybe sync my Zen :) [15:03] Ranakah, that one doesnt have it [15:03] I used itunes coz I got an ipod, and it was just easier to have it autosync "out the box" [15:03] hammer wath is the comand to see wath programme's are installed???? [15:03] usser can i please you to give me link to download? [15:04] Esvandiary, i did [15:04] I am running 8.04 on desktop and 8.10 on nfs server machine = when I am using mc to move files from 8.04 box to 8.10 server my 8.10 box hangs - where do I start to resolve this problem? [15:04] PaperTiger: Must say, you made me miss Winamp a bit. ;D Good ol' times, still I'm very pleased with Amarok. My least favorite app has been iTunes [15:04] <|PaperTiger|> andrew_, I used WinAMP for my iPod when I had it, lol [15:04] Ranakah, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [15:04] where can I turn off the notifications? [15:04] tnx usser [15:04] epaphus: OK; can you run the following in a terminal: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" [15:04] dougl: you cannot move between boxes. you can use scp/sftp [15:04] Hi all - when I click a .torrent link in FF3 to try and start Transmission, FF says "unknown error occurred... try to save file..."... I know I can of course change the app settings in FF to download by default, but does anyone know of a fix? [15:04] I remember in some Linux builds there was a key combination that you could press that would turn your mouse into a skull and cross bones and you could click on a window to kill it. Does Ubuntu have such a key command? [15:04] Ranakah, no problem [15:04] !scp | dougl [15:04] dougl: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [15:04] zilleplus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [15:05] !sftp | dougl [15:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about sftp [15:05] epaphus: if it actually installs something, then chances are it didn't auto-install the plugin for some reason [15:05] lighttitan: you can bind a keay combo to launch xkill === billisnice_ is now known as billisnice [15:05] epaphus: hopefully restarting firefox should do it... if it doesn't install anything (says it's already installed), i'll have to think of something else it could be :p [15:05] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, stupid question. Is there/where is the rip CD option in Amarok? [15:05] Does anyone have instructions for installing the liveCD onto a thumb drive? I need to add ubuntu to a PC that does not have a CD drive. [15:06] erUSUL; I don't see Launch xkill in the keyboard shortcut menu [15:06] PaperTiger: Damn, not sure, man. I've only been using Ubuntu for a couple of days. ;D [15:06] Itunes was the only good option I had for my needs, as far as library browsing goes. Rhythmbox is bad for browsing songs with unique characters, so I stopped using that, and Banshee had similar problems. My only problem with amarok is the "Various Artists" tag it automatically assigns to albums with multiple artists, i haven't figured out how to get the TTP2 id tags to work with it yet. [15:06] <|PaperTiger|> AntiNeko, fair enough :P lol [15:07] <|PaperTiger|> andrew_, WinAMP was very easy to use, even with iPod [15:07] Does anyone have instructions for installing the liveCD onto a thumb drive? I need to add ubuntu to a PC that does not have a CD drive. === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [15:08] slylias: I've found UNetBootin to be very good for that [15:08] it works for both windows and linux [15:08] erUSUL; you just said that but I don't know how to do that [15:08] slylias: you could always slave out the hard drive into something else [15:08] hammer foud it i need to instal a few programmes from ubuntu CD [15:08] slylias: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ for UNetBootin, if you want it [15:08] Nevermind, I was able to kill the window. THanks [15:08] Thank you! [15:09] zilleplus: I'm happy you found man [15:12] where can I turn off the notifications? [15:12] is there a special channel for ubuntu remix? [15:12] hi guys.. i installed java.. but firefox doesnt have it installed as a plugin.. can anybody help me do that? [15:12] or do I talk about it in here? === billisnice_ is now known as billisnice [15:13] termleech: use command "/list" to find your romm [15:13] How do Ubuntu packages like pymacs add to the load-path of emacs? [15:14] epaphus: install sun-java6-plugin [15:14] Hi everyone [15:14] wath is a static IP [15:14] A static IP address is an adress that doesn't change [15:14] Ever. [15:14] zilleplus: one you set "by hand" as opossed as obtaining it from a dhcp server [15:15] zilleplus: an IP address that never changes [15:15] where can I turn off the notifications? [15:15] I cant install the nvidia restricted drivers, I have a Geforce 6150 and Im using Ubuntu 8.10 32 bits [15:15] Useful for devices that you access alot. (Servers, routers, etc.) [15:15] can someone tell me where (or how to find where) the python executable is installed on ubuntu? [15:15] BoomShaka: run "which python" at a terminal [15:15] BoomShaka: /usr/bin [15:15] BoomShaka: which python [15:15] BoomShaka: on a terminal [15:15] hi [15:16] anybody here? [15:16] gabriel:  Geforce 6150 is only supported by windows at this time [15:16] anobody who knows something about bnc's? [15:16] But it worked on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bits when i had it installed [15:16] I have Geforce 7100 [15:16] Just thought you'd like to know [15:17] k. [15:17] I forgot how I fixed that problem [15:17] thanks! [15:17] i just installed 8.10 on a new ASUS Eee PC1000HE and everything is working fine, except the wifi. I can see the network I want to connect to and I am prompted a WPA2 Personal key, but it is not accepted. I am sure it is the correct key, cause I am connecting with another Ubuntu to the same wifi router. [15:17] can the app Envy help me install the nvidia restricted drivers? [15:18] gabriel: yes it can [15:18] Envy too old [15:18] ShackJack: Thanks, man, got it working! I had USP before but a earlier version with no preferences (and I don't like the default look) [15:18] !envyng | gabriel [15:18] gabriel: 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 [15:18] !envy [15:18] AntiNeko: NP :) [15:18] albech_: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/wireless.html here you go [15:18] ok, how do i install Envyng? [15:18] aptget [15:18] !software | gabriel [15:18] gabriel: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [15:19] albech_: Try connecting to the internet with an ethernet connection and installing wicd to replace the default network manager. In my experience there are a lot less issues with that. [15:19] gabriel: Aplications>add/remove is the easiest way [15:19] albech_: Although it's not in the default repositories, so give me a minute and i'll look up the info you need to install... [15:19] ok Thanks for your help erUSUL [15:19] gabriel: no problem [15:19] re [15:20] Question here. I have two FAT ext Hard Drives connected to my IBex machine. When I reboot, sometimes they connect with no problem. OTher times one will connect and other other says its locked out. Other times NEITHER one will connect. What can I do to make sure that they always connect successfully? [15:20] albech_: Oh, also, make sure your wireless doesn't have MAC address filtering first... I sometimes forget that i have that set up on my router. [15:20] I want to run a package search from the command line and get results the same way I do in the Synaptic Package Manger, is there any way to do this? [15:20] i have got a question [15:21] alec: are these drives always plugged in? [15:21] can i add friends in this opera chat ? [15:21] Esvan: YES. [15:21] Counterspell: apt-cache search (blah) [15:21] alec: you could add them directly into the fstab (a file which lists all drives to mount on boot) [15:22] hey, how can i update 8.10 to newest beta 9.04? [15:22] alec: I'm not sure how easily accessible they'd be from the UI then, though [15:22] alec: I mean, you could browse to them easily enough [15:22] ok. I know how to access this fstab , but what what do i tell it? [15:22] tabbu: change your /etc/apt/sources.list from "intrepid" to "jaunty", then do an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (as sudo) [15:22] clearscreen1, thanks! [15:22] alec: since these are external drives, it's possible that their device names might change between boots, so we need to find another way to identify them [15:23] clearscreen1: nice [15:23] Esvan: OK. any suggest? === clearscreen1 is now known as clearscreen [15:23] Esvandiary, sudo blkid will give you the UUID of the drives. [15:23] Esvandiary, those stay constant. [15:23] can anyone help me, I deleted a tray and now when I minimize open programs they disappear off screen and I can no longer see them to maximize/quit [15:23] s3r3n1t7: good plan (I was going to say either that or labels :P) [15:24] anyone ati9.3 work well on atihd3200 [15:24] biv, rightclick your taskbar, "add to panel" and add a "Notification tray" [15:24] oh, he left ;< [15:24] alec: do you know the device names of the drives at the moment? i.e. "/dev/sdxY" ? [15:24] identify brewmaster [15:24] Esvandiary, labels can also vary, plus they're easily changeable. I'd suggest going for UUID's. [15:24] s3r3n1t7: indeed, am doing :) [15:24] Hiubuntu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139399/ here you go [15:24] one sec. I'll see. [15:25] How do i determine where Wine is pointing to as Drive c:\? [15:25] hallo everyone [15:25] mattgyver83, ~/.wine/drive_c [15:25] mattgyver83: ~/.wine/drive_c/ [15:25] Thank you [15:25] Esvan: I did a screenshot of the error msg I got previously when one wouldn't connect. [15:25] alec: are both there at the moment? [15:25] and if so, are they both on? [15:25] yeah... both are there. [15:25] irc chats are in plain, isn't it? is there a way to do them in a crypted way? [15:25] undecim: no mac filtering.. my other ubuntu machine connect fine [15:25] i.e. accessible [15:25] ok [15:26] alec: in that case, just run "df" at a terminal [15:26] one is called: /dev/sde1 [15:26] HammerHead66: thx [15:26] Esvan: ok, will run df [15:26] i have tried to disable ipv6 according to several docs i have googled about ubuntu on eee pc, still same problem [15:26] Hiubuntu: np [15:26] alec: that'll give you the device names on the left, and the names they're mounted under on the very right [15:26] ra nit. [15:26] ran it. [15:26] erUSUL, it was that easy?? .. ww [15:26] wow [15:26] esvan: one is mounted. The other is not. [15:27] albech_: how long does it take before it decides that it can't connect? [15:27] OK; try accessing the one that's not mounted (that should auto-mount it). [15:27] epaphus: ? [15:27] /dev/sdd1 is mounted but the other, sde1 is not. [15:27] ok; that's ok [15:27] it takes ~20ish secs before it times out [15:27] as long as we know what they are, that's fine [15:27] epaphus: can you refresh my memory ? [15:27] alec: run "sudo blkid /dev/sdd1" and the same for sde1 [15:27] trying to experience the full benefit of ubuntu.... how do i get look of installing eye candy themes? [15:27] esvan: you mean type something like ls /dev/sde1?

[15:28] ah ok [15:28] i think i've loaded the gnome-art correctly [15:28] alec: don't worry about mounting the other drive now, we don't need to [15:28] albech_: ..While you're trying to connect that is [15:28] alec: part of the output of the blkid command should be UUID="--- some long string here ---" [15:28] undecim: attempting to join the wire................. [15:28] alec: you need to copy that long string somewhere, since we'll need it in a bit (make sure you save which UUID is related to which drive) [15:29] ESVAN: YES!! that gave me a UID for the non-connected one. [15:29] alec: that string uniquely identifies the drive you're trying to use, so when we try to auto-mount it on startup, it'll know what to do [15:29] so, now... [15:29] thanks for the help [15:29] undecim: i could try without any encryption to see if that is the cause === albech_ is now known as albech [15:29] albech_: does it ever reach the point where the icon shows two green dots? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [15:29] alec, write the whole name, they light up the sentences. Use tab to auto complete the names. [15:30] How do I make Ubuntu rout trafic ? [15:30] undecim: no it never gets a response and begin to obtain a dhcp request [15:30] it tried to auto-mount but couldn't. [15:30] Zedde: configure iptables etc... [15:30] I have 2 networks [15:30] !inetsharing | Zedde [15:30] Zedde: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [15:30] alec: now we need to edit the file /etc/fstab so that ubuntu knows to try to mount them on startup [15:30] erUSUL, use iptables to route traffic? sounds a bit overkill [15:30] albech: Okay, yeah, i would try resetting the router (if you haven't already done so) and then if that doesn't work, try without encryption [15:31] how do you enable the notifications in Jaunty? I've been running Jaunty for a while, and I've had the notifications at some point, but now they're off [15:31] LjL : hey! i can't get: "md5deep -r -x /media/cdrom0/.checksum.md5 /media/cdrom0" too work. so i figured i have to burn dvd in brasero, then copy data from dvd to hdd after burn and then: "md5deep -r -x /media/cdrom0/.checksum.md5 ~/dir" where dir is where data from dvd has been copyed too, or do you have another solution? [15:31] i can't find a pref for it anyzwhere [15:31] ill try without encryption.. brb as i will loose the connection on this box too then [15:31] s3r3n1t7: well i was thinking more about NAT and inet sharing. if it is only routing you use "ip route" of course [15:31] hi guys [15:31] ESVAN: ok. waiting. [15:31] alec: open that file, /etc/fstab, in a text editor as root (probably just using sudo is easiest) [15:31] I copied the UID string. [15:31] I have VMware network NAT and my LAN network like to acces the VMware guest from the lan [15:31] I opened it. already. [15:31] kristian_: hello [15:31] FYI... [15:31] alec: have you got them for both drives? [15:31] both yeah. [15:32] FYI... I tried adding one already to the fstab. Let me show u what I wrote. [15:32] HammerHead66 : hello! :-) [15:32] erUSUL, aah right, that makes sense. I was just thinking about routing traffic, i'd say iptables is a bit overkill just for that. But for sharing and NAT, yeah iptables is nice. [15:32] Its' probabgly wrong but... [15:32] ok [15:32] /dev/sde1 /media/Brindell ntfs-3g force 0 0 [15:32] seems mostly ok, but since /dev/sde1 can change we'll replace that [15:33] ESVAN: what do i need to add to fstab to make it automount.? [15:33] alec: replace /dev/sde1 with: UUID=---longstringhere--- [15:33] greetings [15:33] kristian_: have you tried to make the cashe bigger and see if it works? [15:33] ah ok. doing it now. [15:33] I know I shouldn't repeat a question, so if it's not answered in half an hour, do they still realize it's there? I don't wanna be annoying, I just thought it might haven't seen by anyone. So, is it allowed to ask again, or is that unnecessary and annoying and stuff? [15:33] alec: you don't really want the force option either, put "user" there instead [15:34] does anyone know if there is a non-destructive partitioning tool for Ubuntu? I want to add a harddrive to my system, but it has 3 windows paritions, one of which contains date I want to keep [15:34] literally "user" or my user name? [15:34] HammerHead66 : nope, im just going to skip verification in brasero, ill do manual verification. [15:34] alec: literally "user" [15:34] I also want to convert the entire drive to an Ext3 volume [15:34] Lisa____: please ask in tel you get a responce [15:34] Esvandiary, force is needed if he doesn't cleanly unmount his drive ... like windows tends to do rather fast. May i recommend both force and user? [15:34] Anyone knows how to stop firefox from showing the images when i drag them? [15:34] Lisa____, I missed your ? ask again [15:34] s3r3n1t7: you may indeed [15:34] ESVAN: DONE. Here's what I have now in fstab: UUID="28E047C3E047964A" /media/Brindell ntfs-3g user 0 0 [15:34] come lisa [15:34] alec: in that case, "force,user" is what you want (just to be safe, as s3r3n1t7 suggested) [15:34] Lisa___: You shouldn't repeat questions one after the other, but after about 10 minutes or so i think it should be fine to ask again (especially if there are new people in the reoom) [15:35] does anyone know if there is a liferea like rss aggregator for windows. my dads seen me running it on ubuntu and likes the look of it. unfortunately its nix only :( [15:35] alec: Esvandiary if the disks where fat32 why you use ntfs-3g ? [15:35] albech_: Any luck? [15:35] alec: then repeat that line with the other drive, just making sure that you change the mount point (so they're not both mounting to the same place) [15:35] just tell the question please [15:35] and erUSUL that is a very good question, i must still be half-asleep [15:35] sorry guys... good call.. they're NTFS. My bad. === ScottG489 is now known as ScottG [15:35] Ahh I was trying to install a Webcam programm called iCam2. But it doesn't work. I made ./configure and make, but when I try to open the prog it says it can't open the config file icam2rc. I don't know why. there weren't any errors really [15:36] S this okay then... UUID="28E047C3E047964A" /media/Brindell ntfs-3g force, user 0 [15:36] i have an urgent problem, when trying to boot i got lots of dydr err-messages, so i booted from a cd and ran e2fsck -f -c on the disk, now i'm getting lots of messages about whenter i want to clear inodes etc, and i really dont want to loose any data, what should i do? [15:36] alec: no space between force, and user [15:36] ESVAN: DONE. no space. [15:36] Lisa____, did you 'make install' too? [15:36] Lisa____-> maybe you need to touch icam2rc? [15:36] ESVAN: Do i go ahead and add the next line then reboot? [15:36] alec: that looks fine apart from that... make an equivalent line for the other drive [15:36] mmmh i have not idea [15:36] wait just a moment after you do that, alec [15:36] s3r3n1t7: Esvandiary alec - I really would NOT recommend the force option. Mounting an uncleanly unmounted drive using force option, just "ignores" the errors in the journal [15:37] did you use already that cAM [15:37] i mean are your drivers setting cool [15:37] undecim: yes, it connects fine when i disable encryption [15:37] waiting for the smart ppl to figure it out. :) :P [15:37] neuratix: How about FeedDemon? [15:37] haha [15:37] :P [15:37] neuratix: whoops, wrong nick. [15:37] oCean_, my main reason for still recommending it, is that windows will always say it's uncleanly unmounted even after having written all the data. [15:37] alec: well, either way - one thing you need to make sure is that the mount point you're going to (/media/Brindell for that first drive) exists already [15:38] albech_: okay, I would suggest trying wicd, because that always seems to solve my encryption-based wireless probelems... [15:38] yeah. [15:38] it does now in fstab. [15:38] currently WITH FORCE. [15:38] albech_:You will need to add the repository firs though [15:38] alec: I mean literally in /media, on the filesystem [15:38] oCean_, also note that since he wrote the UUID and everythign else write, this will only affect his NTFS drive. So far i have not yet heard nor read about an NTFS drive being damaged in any way with the force option. [15:38] albech_: in a terminal, type: wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [15:38] s3r3n1t7: If your data is important to you, I really would not use the force option. Use the "safely remove external media" thingy in windows [15:38] alec: if you run "ls /media", does it include Brindell in the list? [15:39] oCean_, and i would like to ask a question in return. How would you mount a drive if you have no windows available to you? [15:39] checking [15:39] oCean_, then i would not use ntfs in the first place to be honest. [15:39] 1. yes I did "make install".. I'm not quite sure if it worked, though.. it says "./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin [15:39] /usr/bin/install -c iCam2 /usr/local/bin/iCam2" and that's it.. did it work? 2. if I'd tough icam2rc what would I have to look for? [15:39] s3r3n1t7: Ok, then you'll have to mount it forced. But my question in return, why use NTFS if you don't have windows :) [15:39] albech_: Then, go to your main menu and go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [15:40] ESVAN: It doesn't show in /Media [15:40] I'm using unetbootin under wine to make a bootable linux usb drive for my acer aspire one. Nomatter what I do however it wont work - i just get missing operating system error message. can someone help? [15:40] oCean_, that question would not be asked to me but to alec. [15:40] alec: ok, you need to run "sudo mkdir /media/Brindell" (and an equivalent line for the mount point of the other drive) [15:40] undecim: give me a sec here [15:40] albech_: and when that comes up, go to Settings > Repositories > Third Party Software > Add [15:40] albech_: okay... [15:41] albech_: Actually, I'll just give you a page with instructions: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php [15:41] i have been having issues with the Flash plugin on Firefox. Often after browsing a couple of sites with Flash content, it starts displaying them as gray boxes as if I didn't have Flash installed. Resetting the browser sometimes helps but sometimes the only thing that helps is rebooting the machine. [15:41] anyone here ever made a live usb using linux? [15:41] I am wondering if I have the wrong plugin [15:41] Could someone help with flash audio problems on Ubuntu 8.04? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [15:41] oCean, I reformatted that drive os I could transfer single files larger than 4G. [15:41] albech_: although, you do need to make sure that you replace "hardy" with "intrepid" on that line for the package manager [15:42] jack_spratt, i recommend you take a look at unetbootin. [15:42] ESVAN... is this correct for the other drive in fstab? UUID="5D51-966B" /media/My Book vfat-3g force,user 0 0 [15:42] s3r3n1t7: Hm, yes. I'll just drop the argueing. It's just I don't like forced mounts. [15:42] alec: it should be "vfat" not "vfat-3g" [15:42] oCean_, i value your input. Thank you. [15:42] OK [15:42] s3r3n1t7: I havent found a distro that supports the linux version yet - ive used it under wine, but the usbs that it produces never work, although they appear to have been made successfully [15:42] I see in synaptic there are two options: flashplugin-nonfree and adobeflash-plugin and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound. Which one should I pick? Or should I download the one from Adobe? [15:42] alec: also, /media/My Book needs quotes around it [15:42] ok [15:43] anyone that uses emerald and compiz fusion? [15:43] alec: also, no quotes around the UUID [15:43] jack_spratt, can you please explain more? You wish to have a usb stick, which you can use to boot a live system from right? [15:43] ok [15:43] alec: i assume you also just cut out most of the UUID to make the paste easier? [15:43] Is there a way to install linux within a linux installation? ie without any cds or network install etc? that would save me having to make a liveusb [15:43] no. [15:43] s3r3n1t7: yes thats right, for my netbook [15:43] that's the UID [15:43] dbl xchecking [15:43] Esvandiary, vfat has shorter UUID's. [15:44] s3r3n1t7: aah, ok [15:44] jack_spratt, take a look at unetbootin. it creates perfect bootable usb sticks. [15:44] Anyone interested in helping me with flash audio problems? [15:44] alec: no problem, that's normal [15:44] UUID="5D51-966B" [15:44] s3r3n1t7: in windows maybe - is it in ubuntu repos? [15:44] alec: so yeah, paste the line again? [15:44] BTW, the syntax u told me for the second ext drive is different than the first drive in fstab. [15:44] how do you set emerald as team manager and use it? [15:44] 1st drive is: UUID="28E047C3E047964A" "/media/Brindell" ntfs-3g force,user 0 0 [15:44] !emerald | ChotaZ [15:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about emerald [15:44] !compiz-fusion | ChotaZ [15:44] ChotaZ, please see my private message [15:44] 2nd drive is: UUID=5D51-966B "/media/My Book" vfat force,user 0 0 [15:44] different syntax. [15:44] s3r3n1t7: I dont want to have to install windows or ubuntu on my desktop - I want ubuntu on my netbook, not my desktop, but it seems ill have to install windows or ubuntu in order to use unetbootin! [15:45] Which one should I install: flashplugin-nonfree and adobeflash-plugin and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound. Or should I download the one from Adobe? i have been having issues with the Flash plugin on Firefox. Often after browsing a couple of sites with Flash content, it starts displaying them as gray boxes as if I didn't have Flash installed. Resetting the browser sometimes helps but sometimes the only thing that helps is rebooting the machine. [15:45] alec: remove the quotes from the UUID in the first line too [15:45] jack_spratt, no you don't. You can use the iso from ubuntu to create the usb stick. [15:45] ok.. same as second. [15:45] andresmh: grabbing "ubuntu-restricted-extras" has always worked for me :) [15:45] i still gotta mkdir the other folder u mentioend. [15:45] Esvandiary, i recommend you remove all of the quotes. The spaces which are in the file paths should be escaped out. [15:45] andresmh: what graphic card do you have? [15:45] s3r3n1t7: so I can make a liveusb from the livecd of ubuntu? [15:45] does dd or dd_rescue mount or in any way modify the file system of the partition i want to rescue ? [15:45] s3r3n1t7: ok [15:45] jack_spratt, yes [15:45] andresmh: I usually just install the "Restricted Extras" from the add/remove programs [15:46] alec: s3r3n1t7 suggests instead of using quotes, we escape the space character in "My Book" [15:46] andresmh: flashpugin-nonfree-extrasound is not flash; it's an audio fix [15:46] HammerHead66, good question: lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [15:46] that prevents flash from hogging the sound [15:46] s3r3n1t7: do i have to basically install ubuntu on the usb then, or is there an option just to create a liveusb? === Frol_ is now known as Frol [15:46] alec: so, remove the quotes, and before the space between My and Book, put a backslash \ [15:46] how to escape space char? [15:46] ok [15:47] I do experince that after playing Flash content with sound the quality of sound degrades to telephone level from then on and only until I reboot it goes back to normal. [15:47] alec: My Documents = My\ Documents in cli [15:47] alec: so it should look like: UUID=5D51-966B /media/My\ Book vfat force,user 0 0 [15:47] UUID=5D51-966B /media/My\ Book vfat force,user 0 0 [15:47] andresmh: what version of ubuntu do you have? === co_aneh is now known as newbe_ubuntu [15:47] yep [15:47] HammerHead66, 8.10 [15:47] jack_spratt, please download the software and run it. The menu it shows to create a live usb is very clear. You do not need to install any software anywhere. [15:47] right on. ! I mkdir'd the two mount point dirs. [15:47] helo [15:47] How do I use an emerald theme? [15:47] What's next? [15:47] alec: OK... so if you do "ls /media" and it shows both Brindell and "My Book" in there, that should be ok [15:47] andresmh: 32bit or 64bit? [15:47] hello all, I am going to be installing ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a clients system today with an intel integrated GPU, will I be able to use compositing windows manager like compiz? TIA :) [15:47] jack_spratt: I haven't been following your conversation because i have been helping someone else, but it seems you are trying to put a LiveCD ubuntu on a flash drive? I've done that a lot [15:48] checking... [15:48] s3r3n1t7: OK, and is that the same of Xubuntu and Kubuntu? or does just ubuntu have that option [15:48] hi...how can I upgrade the package to the latest version if the apt-get tells me it's already the latest version...but I know it isn't ? [15:48] ESVAN: It's there. [15:48] HammerHead66, 32-bit [15:48] I have burnt a data dvd with Brasero. Brasero has created a .checksum.md5 file on the disc. How can i verify data on disc compared to .checksum.md5? I've tried: " md5deep -r -x /media/cdrom0/.checksum.md5 /media/cdrom0" but it doesn't work. Any thoughts? :-) [15:48] Brindell cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 My My Book sdb1 sdb6 [15:48] jack_spratt, it's the software that does this for you. I'm unsure about kubuntu and xubuntu, but i think it should be able to do this as well. [15:48] Cotaz add emerald --replace to your Startup programs System -> Preferences - > Sessions -> Add [15:48] undecim: yes thats right, ideally the netbook remix, but I can install that once ubuntu is installed I believe. [15:48] alec: yeah, there's an extraneous My folder as well, but it got there in the end :P [15:48] s3r3n1t7: OK that sounds great, Ill give that a go [15:49] try to reinstall the flash in add/remove and see if that fixes it [15:49] ok.. so.. back to original problem where mounting was volitile... this should fix that then? [15:49] alec: OK, so you should be ok to reboot and it should auto-mount them [15:49] which one HammerHead66 ? [15:49] s3r3n1t7: its a pain in the a$$ to be honest because kamdriva claims to do that too but it needs 1.9gb on the USB and i have 1.89 [15:49] great. Hey.... Esvan and others THANKS SO MUCH for your help and also for helping me learn this system. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!!! [15:49] *mandriva [15:49] alec: it all depends on what the problem is, but if this doesn't fix it, it's something weird with the USB connection [15:49] HammerHead66, flashplugin-nonfree or adobeflash-plugin? [15:49] andresmh: try the free one [15:49] jack_spratt, that is annoying indeed. I've done this method a few times on a 1gb stick and it works just fine. [15:49] alec: no problem :) if the problem keeps happening, come back and we'll try and help some more [15:50] I have burnt a data dvd with Brasero. Brasero has created a .checksum.md5 file on the dvd, with the md5 for the original files on hdd. How can i verify data on dvd compared to .checksum.md5, which contains md5sum of data on hdd? I've tried: "md5deep -r -x /media/cdrom0/.checksum.md5 /media/cdrom0", but it doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts? :-) [15:50] ESVAN: yeah, I do have the drives plugged in to a usb hub. [15:50] timmytheraw: How do I use .emerald files? [15:50] jack_spratt: Well, the easiest theing is Unetbootin, but if you're like me and don't trust downloaded binaries, there is another semi-easy way to do it... Start by copying all the files from the LiveCD (or a loopback mounted iso) to the thumb drive... [15:50] andresmh: adobeflash-plugin [15:50] ESVAN , etc. you guys are the best! [15:50] alec: it's possible that's messing with it i guess, but ah well... good luck anyway :) [15:50] keep fingers crossed. [15:50] have you installed emerald yet? sudo apt-get install emerald [15:50] alec: will do :D [15:50] thanks! ciao. [15:50] HammerHead66, OK. I'm doing it right now. What's the difference btw? [15:50] hello.. how to install realtek audio driver? I have already the realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06a.tar.bz2... [15:51] undecim: s3r3n1t7 has suggested a method to auto create a liveusb from within a running livecd. I think I will try that as it sounds easiest [15:51] jack_spratt, you don't need to run anything special nor boot anything special. This piece of software can create a live usb from any OS. [15:51] undecim: but that method of copying all the cd files onto usb that you just mentioned - does that work for most distros? [15:51] andresmh: I'm really not sure, I'm not a programmer. [15:51] jack_spratt: yes, but there is more to it that i was going to explain, lol [15:52] :D [15:52] jack_spratt: you also have to install grub on the drive and create a menu.lst from the isolinux config [15:52] timetheraw: Yes. [15:52] andresmh: I just know that sometimes it works with some people and sometimes it doesn't === Hasnain is now known as hasnain[dead] [15:52] s3r3n1t7: you say that the software on the ubuntu livecd can make bootable usbs from other linux dostros too? because there are versions of ubuntu made jsut for my netbook you see [15:52] hi all, I did sudo apt-get -b source fglrx-installer on my Jaunty machine but it gives me an error: dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 5) cdbs [15:52] timmytheraw: Yes, but when i double click a .emerald file it says I donthave an application for that file ?\ [15:52] In the emerald theme manager you should be able to just click 'import' and add the theme that way [15:53] DarK``: try in #ubuntu+1 [15:53] okay, thanks [15:53] jack_spratt, Unetbootin isn't on the liveCD. [15:53] :) [15:53] [15:53] andresmh: don't forget to close fox when installing it [15:54] jack_spratt, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNetbootin [15:54] undecim, s3r3n1t7 : yes i noticed that grub appears to be missing on the liveusbs that i made with unetbootin in wine - the ones that didnt work [15:54] jack_spratt, why in wine? [15:54] jack_spratt, you don't need wine to run unetbootin. there are linux binaries as well. [15:54] not for the distros that I was trying to make them on [15:54] pclos = no unetbootin [15:54] jack_spratt, the binary runs on everything [15:54] theres also the package emerald-themes that adds several themes to the manager. link: http://debian.beryl-project.org/pool/etch/main/0.2.0/emerald-themes_0.2.0~0beryl1_all.deb [15:54] ah [15:54] hmm [15:54] lol [15:54] jack_spratt: I would suggest just downloading and using Unetbootin, because that will let you do any distro [15:55] undecim: the binary will work on pclos you think? (mandriva / rpm based) [15:55] jack_spratt: It should [15:55] jack_spratt, yes, just install the dependencies [15:55] bardyr: I checked some depedencies for the suse package but they appeared to be missing [15:56] hi all i am looking for a app that can decrypt a pdf file. is there one for ubuntu? [15:56] jack_spratt, http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=unetbootin&filename=unetbootin-linux-319&use_mirror=kent [15:57] jack_spratt, then just install syslinux and p7zip [15:57] bardyr: will that install grub too or do I have to do that separately? [15:57] jack_spratt, it will install grub too [15:57] I mean install it on the liveusb [15:57] ok [15:57] salsero: on desktop go to text upper left hand side /System/Admin/Synaptic Package Manager and run a search for "encryption" === ajamison|sleep is now known as ajamison5579 [15:59] salsero: you mean decrypt when you have the password? try pdftk or qpdf - see the description: apt-cache show pdftk qpdf [15:59] bardyr: there may be a slight complication - I can only access the pendrive as root - but presumably if I run the binary of unetbootin as root too then it will create the liveusb successfully? [16:00] savvas, i havent a password. i have to crack it [16:00] hey guys... i got a 250gb hdd... what should i format it too? whats the best format for using it constanly like media wise? [16:01] Hello, i have running a toshiba satellite laptop with an realtek rtl8193 nic and after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 i cannot connect over ethernet to my network [16:01] unko: That depends... are you going to be using it on other operating systems (such as windows) or just linux machines? [16:01] undecim, just linux machines [16:01] bardyr: also I have just installed p7zip but unetbootin says it cannot find it when it starts - why would that be and how could I solve it? [16:02] ortsvorsteher: is DHCP set? [16:02] jack_spratt, p7zip-full ? [16:02] unko: well then ext3 would be a good choice... although, I personally perfer reiserfs, but you may need to install the drivers for that [16:02] HammerHead66: no, i really dont know how to set dhcp on... [16:03] Which is a good channel to ask for assistance with the PCI utilities (I need assistance with the setpci command, in particular.) === Threepwood is now known as McKracken [16:03] undecim, whats the difference? [16:03] unko: I prefer reiserfs mostly because it doesn't require that periodic filesystem check on boot === McKracken is now known as threepwood [16:03] undecim, ohhh [16:03] unko: also, some benchmarks say that its faster [16:04] bardyr: the package is simply called p7zip, there is one other package in the repos which mentioned 7zip and that is rarcrack, and those two packages are installed. Do i need a restart do you think? [16:04] undecim, ok well ill format it that... and why do i need drivers?

I can get libatlas from the repos and build against it just fine. But the repos only have the single threaded libraries, whereas I have compiled the pthreaded ones? I imagine this person has already solved this linking problem... [16:43] oCean_ i just change folder [16:43] and add in hosts 127.0.0.1 sub.domain.com [16:43] _oCean and add in hosts 127.0.0.1 sub.domain.com [16:44] ars14: in your configfile there is a directive called DocumentRoot. Default it is /var/www , so you have to modify that one too [16:44] erUSUL: when i type xrandr i only have resolutions below 1024*768 [16:44] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/139618/ [16:44] oCean_ no because i dont xant people access to this folder by domain.com [16:44] ars14: the Page not found is not problem with hostname, but with the directory path.

[16:45] i wanna put a trash can on my 250gb ntfs partition i need help with editing my fstab info to get the trash can working....someone help me [16:46] ars14: The DocumentRoot is set for each vhost. So if default has /var/www <-- then that is accessible by domain.com. But your 2nd site (vhost2 maybe) with DocumentRoot /var/otherdir/site is only accessible by vhost2.domain.com [16:47] oCean_ ok that what is done [16:47] Does anyone know why videos start pausing and stuttering after a while with Ubuntu's default "Movie Player"?

[16:54] esvandiary: the automount fix worked. [16:54] jack_spratt, i'm sure they've noted your message and are happy you got it working. [16:54] oCean no lol just fake [16:54] shit [16:54] now that 9.04 is in beta, can I be reasonably certain that the corresponding video drivers are updated? [16:54] ars14: use pastebin service [16:54] I can today [16:54] I feel ridiculous ! [16:54] hey all .. im trying to dive more into ubuntu .. what are some good ebooks / books i should get ? [16:55] jsquared, the beta page lists that ATI drivers will be worked on now, after the beta release, so probably not yet for all manufacturers is safe to say [16:55] daftykins: ah, okay [16:55] daftykins: which beta page are you looking at? [16:55] oCean documentroot : /var/www-protected/project , hosts : 127.0.0.1 sub.a.b.c.com [16:55] hello, I need to install a kernel module to get certain hardware working, but I get the following message: "*** Missing file: arch/x86/boot/bzImage" ... does anybody know what this means? [16:55] oCean that it [16:55] alec: glad to hear it :) [16:55] here jsquared : http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/beta [16:55] furenku: did you installed kernel headers [16:55] oCean virtualhost * [16:56] oCean servername sub.a.b.c.com [16:56] ars14: I get it. But at this point, what is your question? [16:56] So my next question is : how can I do this, with authentification ? [16:56] erUSUl, i installed 'linux-headers-uname-r' [16:56] because the worstation hasn't passwords ! [16:56] Can someone look at this and see if this is possible. http://paste.ubuntu.com/139622/ [16:56] Good day, i got a little partition problem. I have one NTFS partition, on which i run Windows Vista, and then Ext3+Swap partitions i run Ubuntu on. Now i would like to convert these Ext3+Swap partitions to NTFS, so i can use them with Vista, and then install Ubuntu in a virtual machine. [16:56] erUSUL, [16:56] How to convert those partitions to ntfs? [16:56] daftykins: thanks very much [16:56] i just have no ping at this address [16:56] you're welcome :) [16:57] oCean i just have no ping at this address [16:57] If I mount the share on windows one time with the samba/linux passwords [16:57] ars14: you cannot ping 127.0.0.1 ? [16:57] will it be correct for all time ? [16:57] a little weirded out that 9.04 disabled ctrl+alt+backspace though... definitely doing a dontzap --disable when I wind up upgrading [16:57] oCean no this is an RPS [16:57] oCean_ no this is an RPS [16:57] furenku: that shold be enough to compile out of tree modules.... [16:58] the22decembre: it should save the passwords if you tick the box, not sure if it'll ask again [16:58] ars14: you can change the IP of course to the real ip-address [16:58] erUSUL, but I can't find any bzImage file; maybe I need to perform additional steps? [16:58] furenku: becouse the bzimage file it is only present if you compile your own kernel afaics [16:58] please, what is "tick" ? [16:58] the22decembre: on my setup, Windows does some sort of black magic because the user/pass combos are the same on both machines [16:58] oCean_ in the server hosts ? like : 84.35.34.56 sub.a.b.c.com ? [16:59] I know the paswords must be the same for each user on each system (both in linux, samba & windows...) [16:59] erUSUL, but then why would "make install" be asking for this file? [16:59] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%CC%A1%CC%A2%CC%9B%CC%97%CC%98%CC%99%CC%9C%CC%9D%CC%9E%CC%9F%CC%A0%CC%8A%CC%8B%CC%8C%CC%8D+%CC%8E%CC%8F%CC%9A+%CC%A1%CC%A2%CC%A1%CC%A2%CC%9B%CC%9B%CC%96%CC%97%CC%98%CC%99%CC%9C%CC%9D%CC%9E%CC%9F%CC%A0+%CC%96%CC%97%CC%98%CC%99%CC%9C%CC%9D%CC%9E%CC%9F%CC%A0%CC%8A%CC%8B%CC%8C%CC%8D%CC%8E%CC%8F+%CC%90%CC%91%CC%92%CC%93%CC%94%CC%8A%CC%8B%CC%8C%CC%8D%CC%8E%CC%8F%CC%90%CC%91%CC%92%CC%93+%CC%94%CC%95% [16:59] can som1 help me install Counter strike on ubuntu?

[17:13] Anusien: hmm, iirc, that chip was only very recently supported in the open source radeon driver [17:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver <-- this page claims good support [17:13] oCean_ I think i make a mistake in config of this one but dont find :( [17:13] ok [17:13] Anusien: even though the X1250 which is very similar has been supported for a while [17:14] I have a laptop with a small keyboard, so I connected a USB keyboard for easier typing. but I am unable to change the keyboard layout on the usb keyboard, it only works on the laptop's keyboard. Anybody knows this werid bug? [17:14] crdlb: Anyway, my question is whether I should hack up my xorg.conf or just reboot and see if it will autodetect like it claims it will [17:14] help, i cant install the nvidia drivers on ubuntu 8.10 32 bits, i have tried with Envy and the restricted drivers but they do not activate, I have a Geforce 6150 [17:14] Anusien: it's correct, if you don't have fglrx support, the radeon driver should attempt to give you 3d [17:14] Anusien: and it did out of the box with my X1250 [17:15] So kill xorg.conf and restart x? [17:15] does anyone know how to get checkpoint snx running on jaunty? i saw many pages saying to install "libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2" but i can't find that [17:15] mister_roboto: jaunty chat is in #ubuntu+1 channel === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [17:16] ars14: ok, sorry I don't know how to help.

[17:17] oCean_ yes maybe ! [17:17] ars14: since /etc/hosts is really for name resolving. So the 127.0.0.1 address is on the loopback device. Type "ifconfig lo" to see if it's up [17:17] crdlb: Thanks. "The system is going down for reboot NOW!" *crosses fingers* [17:18] Hey, I'm having some problems getting teamspeak to work, I installed the teamspeak client for linux, but it made other applications that used the same output device get muted or crash, so I decided installed the windows client and running it through Wine, but now micro wont work. Any suggestions? [17:18] I'm interested in sharing my SMB and AFP daemons through the network, and am concerned about security so I'm considering setting up a VPN to share them more securely.

[17:20] paulEU: your best bet is to see if they have a PPA [17:20] oCean_ yes it is UP [17:20] I have my hard drive split into 3 paritions: /, /home and swap. I was just doing some online reading to find out why the System Monitor reports 'Free' and 'Available' space and found that the system reserves as much as 5% for root. This is fine, but my /home has 2.2GB free and only 800MB available... Anyone know why that is?? [17:20] erUSUL: I may disagree, I already tried ='( [17:21] Cpudan80: PPA? Could you explain what's mean? :) [17:21] ars14: in that case... I think I am missing something, I mean I don't see what is wrong [17:21] I don't know this word PPA" [17:21] !ppa [17:21] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [17:21] oCean_ arf :) [17:21] paulEU: its a repository that has newer software than the baseline ---- basically you add it to synaptic and then can get the newer versions [17:22] paulEU: personal package archive [17:22] or something [17:22] oCean_ do you think i must config something in ovh param .... === Guest57825 is now known as iguelph [17:22] just a question (I'm not going to attempt it) but isn't enough data loaded into memory that the root partition could be unmounted and the system continue running while changes are made to the disk and then remounted? [17:23] crdlb: So I rebooted and I have picture, but I don't have an xorg.conf file (and it's not doing hardware rendering at all, I think). Is there some sort of way to generate the xorg.conf automatically? [17:23] oCean_ this is my provider [17:23] Cpudan80: Do you suggest to find repo for this package and add into synaptic? [17:23] paulEU: they dont have one ... sorry [17:23] test [17:23] paulEU: even jaunty is still at 1.5 -- are you sure 1.6 is stable? [17:23] can anyone please tell me if there is any dl manager for linux [17:23] Anusien: you can write a generic one with 'sudo dexconf' [17:24] that downloads from youtube [17:24] pytube [17:24] datta: try greasemonkey with firefox? [17:24] can someone help me with a kernel panic [17:24] Cpudan80: jaunty uses a prerelease version of 1.6 [17:24] sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall [17:24] I captured some of the trace [17:24] is there anything like orbit in linux [17:24] Cpudan80: it's numbered 1.5.99 or something [17:24] hi everyone [17:24] Cpudan80: yes, I tried find it. In official version is 1.4.x subversion, on backports there is 1.5.x, and I hope that there will be 1.6 too ;) [17:24] Chousuke: says 1.5.4 [17:24] ars14: last thing: see this link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139649/, In that host config, I can ping subdom.ocean.local.dom as well as ocean [17:24] when installing a version of ubuntu, it asks to create partitions to install it on, or it gives the option of automaticaly managing the drive [17:25] paulEU: do you want SVN or CVS ? [17:25] I noticed that when choosing the automated solution, it creates two partitions: one for the root, and one for the swap. But is there any particular reason why the swap partition is located in a seperate logical (extended) partition? [17:25] I cant install nvidia drivers in Ubuntu 8.10, i tried with the restricted drivers and the ones from nvidia.com but they do not activate, can somebody help me? [17:25] Cpudan80: packages subversion [17:25] <3 jaunty [17:25] hi [17:25] why isn't the swap partition not just another primary partition? [17:25] Cpudan80: ah, never mind. I got confused ;P [17:25] Cpudan80: for 8.04 LTS [17:25] crdlb: And then modify it with the necessary info from this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [17:25] is there a way to get Avant Window Navigator to start up automaticly in Jaunty?

[17:26] paulEU: you'll have to compile it yourself, jaunty (newest devel version) is still sitting on 1.5.4 [17:26] Anusien: you don't really need to tweak much, what does glxinfo | grep -i renderer say? [17:27] ars14: noooooo, from your computer, you cannot reach the 127.0.0.1 interface on any other machine [17:27] Cpudan80: yes, because version 1.6 is fresh (it was released some days ago) [17:27] can anyone tell me what channel I need to use for VIM related questions?

[17:27] paulEU: come back when this says 1.6 [17:27] http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/subversion [17:28] ars14: if you want that address to be served by apache, you have to configure that, like in the link I send you before. [17:28] Cpudan80: yes, I'll wait some day, maybe there will be available for 8.04 [17:28] hm [17:28] in backports [17:28] bout19bucks: thanks === tamiaode is now known as Tamiaode [17:29] ars14: however I have to run.

[19:51] I just got the jaunty beta === jerryb is now known as MacNoob [19:51] r3 ^ [19:51] litwinos -- not sure if possible at all [19:51] Frijolie: ubuntugeek tutorials are nice: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/settingup-an-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-with-proftpd.html [19:52] thanks, I'll check them out [19:52] gavintlgold - jaunty has the most recent kernel - which means most recent HW support - if it doesnt work then .. then too bad.. when running linux.. you have to keep compatibility in mind [19:52] gavintlgold: all jaunty discussions/issues go in channel #ubuntu+1 [19:52] r3 -- I changed it from 83 to 5 on windows using ext2fst and i cant undo [19:52] oCean: it has never worked since at least 3 versions ago [19:53] oCean_: it has never worked since at least 3 versions ago [19:53] what you mean ? it worked before ? [19:53] gavintlgold: what ? [19:53] oCean_ i think gold is speakin to me [19:53] Hi, I can't get any packages downloaded [19:54] oCean_: my webcam has had problems with ubuntu since I started trying to use it [19:54] It is driving me up the wall and I don't know what to do about it [19:54] litwinos - not sure if i can help... technically ... changing partition type means formating as well [19:54] r3: he told me to go to ubuntu+1, but it's a problem across versions [19:54] gavintlgold: that can be, but if you are currently using Jaunty, then you should address your issue NOT in this channel [19:54] I checked my sources.list file and it all looks goo [19:54] Good [19:54] i problably changed only label [19:54] Alex_21 [19:55] if you run apt-get update * with sudo ? [19:55] what happens ? [19:55] Oh, I'll try [19:55] litwinos ... did you try fdisk ? ( in ubuntu ?) [19:55] can anyone here help me tether a blackberry? [19:56] Ok, It is working [19:56] Lol, My bad [19:56] Im using live cd right now fdisk give: /dev/sda3 48054 60758 102052912+ 5 Extended [19:56] there ya go [19:56] hello [19:56] After upgrading from 8.10 -> 9.04 beta my nvidia driver is broken. Plus that when I press ctrl + alt + f2 I can't login. i type my username and password and ubuntu keep saying me "login icorrect" [19:56] press m for help === pete_ is now known as Guest19469 [19:56] I don't usually install desktop [19:56] Lol [19:57] jhjh ... numlock checked ? [19:57] Are you pranking your coworkers next week? If so, how? [19:57] r3 yes [19:57] jhjh: all 9.04 discussion go in #ubuntu+1 channel please [19:57] !ot > remotecocoa [19:57] remotecocoa, please see my private message [19:57] oCean_ Ok [19:57] hm ... try some alternative boots ... you can edit boot line in grub === pete_ is now known as Guest27751 [19:58] my system tray is missing on ubuntu, and when trying to add it, its not in the list, i think i might have uninstalled the package, anyone know what the name of the panel is in aptitude? [19:58] topher_: do you mean "notification area" ? [19:58] _Brun0_: my suspicion is that your IDE cannot read over gvfs. If that's the case, you may need to add an entry to your /etc/fstab to auto-mount the share on boot. [19:59] hmm, like where the icons are docked, like banshee and such [19:59] lol [19:59] k nvm thx oCean_ [19:59] topher_: Ok :) [19:59] you running gnome topher ? [20:00] did you try gnome-panel ? === Lukemob is now known as Lukemob` [20:00] hi all... what is the command to remove execute privileges from a file? i mean opposite of chmod 755 ..? is that correct? [20:00] r3 i just thought it was called system tray, its notificiation area [20:00] :P [20:00] dunno [20:00] :D [20:00] ok lads [20:00] gotta go [20:00] r3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:01] <_Brun0_> tritium, ty alot for your help! you mean soemething like: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently ? [20:01] ahm [20:02] macvr: well, no. That would leave the execute permissions for the owner of the file [20:02] jklock: you there? [20:02] Can anyone suggest some fast way to restore characters in filenames downloaded with wget with no --restrict-filenames. For example, some cyrillic symbols in such filenames will be changed to something like ?%80. Or, may be you can tell what stands for ? in such filename. Currently script I wrote for this task chokes on these ? symbols. [20:03] oCean_: i meant opposite of chmod 755... i want to remove the execute privilege for a simple text file i created in an ntfs partition, but whenever i create a file in the ntfs partition it contains the execute privilages! [20:04] macvr: default umask for users is 0022, creating files in 644 mode (-rw-r--r--) === _Purple_ is now known as EarthHour [20:04] so doing chmod 644 for the file would remove the execute? === EarthHour is now known as dsdewe [20:05] macvr: ah yes, for NTFS partitions it' an other story. [20:05] oCean_: ok so how do i proceed? [20:05] macvr: you have to specify the permissions for NTFS partitions during mount time (e.g. in /etc/fstab) For more info, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions === dsdewe is now known as _Purple_ [20:07] oCean_: automatic mount? i edited the fstab since i didnt want auto mount...! why is that essential for preventing the file from gaining execute privileges? [20:07] anyone else sitting in the dark ? :P [20:07] am getting: MKACTIVITY (and a bunch of garbage) then: Could not parse response status line - when I commit to svn repository, everything else works fine though, what does that mean? [20:08] macvr: permissions on NTFS differ from the way linux works with that. So at mount time, you have to specify attributes like fmask,dmask et cetera [20:08] how do you tell if the server/service is running and the appropriate ports are open and listening? [20:09] r3, i did what you said...but i still have the kboot menu when I select "Boot other OS" from me ps3 menu [20:09] <__nano__> Frijolie: you can use nmap [20:09] Frijolie: run "sudo netstat -anp | grep 21" and look in the upper few lines or do "sudo netstat -anp |grep ftp" Also, you could try to "ftp localhost" [20:09] oCean_: oh... ok... i get it... will read though, changing the mask would do the trick... that it or anything else i need to do? [20:09] is there a good photo-stitch program for ubuntu [20:09] <_VIM_> Frijolie: you could try iptraf or nmap too [20:09] macvr: that would do the trick [20:10] whoa, thanks for the reponse. lemme try. I just edited proftpd.conf [20:10] <__nano__> Frijolie: _VIM_: yeah iptraf is good aswell [20:10] oCean_: thanx for the help ... will readup about it... [20:11] hi I've installed compiz fusion from add or remove progs? how to enter compiz settings? [20:11] does anyone here use nedit ? if so, what is the command you have in your printer settings in nedit ? beacuse I can't get it to print without having to type the file name in the printer settings box every time (pain in the ass) === Mud|movie is now known as Mud|afk [20:11] thrillERboy: try installing compizconfig-settings-manager [20:11] ftp: connect: Connection refused [20:11] bonhoffer: http://pastebin.com/f284e6291 [20:11] <_Brun0_> tritium, putting this in my fstab gives me: "dempserver/www /mnt/dempserver smbfs iocharset=utf8,uid=1000 0 0" mount error: could not find target server. TCP name dempserver/www not found. No ip address specified and hostname not found [20:12] <_Purple_> Bullsway, aren't you supposed to turn of your pc as well? ;) [20:12] user___, thanks === `brandon`` is now known as `brandon` [20:12] bonhoffer: apt-cache search stitch ;-) [20:13] Hi I just used the ubuntu livecd to remove a partition, it was the wrong partition, any way to restore the data? === pete_ is now known as Guest89185 [20:14] iptraf just looks like a packet sniffer [20:14] hello i'm having some problems with my kubuntu rig every time i boot i get to the splash screen and it says out of range and displays nothing is there a way to enter into a "safe mode"? [20:15] if i type "md5sum -c MD5FILE" it will start echoing filenames and ok next to it. but it gives no summary if all is ok. if one or more files is not ok, will it say so at the end of the echo? [20:15] Hello. Advise me please - which arch of ubuntu to choose - 32 or 64 bit? [20:15] zaggynl: the data is still there, only the entry in the partition table in the MBR was deleted, i suggest asking #linux and googling in parallel [20:15] Ghabit: what processor do you have, and how much RAM? [20:16] Ghabit [20:16] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6850 @ 3.00GHz [20:16] 2 gb of ram [20:16] user___: thanks [20:16] how can i use brasero to burn an iso to a CDR? [20:16] Ghabit I would use 32 until later right now not many use 64 [20:17] Ghabit: use 32-bit. Flash plugins etc. work better on 32-bit, and you don't have more than 3GB of RAM. [20:17] 64-bit may be a bit faster but you probably won't notice the difference [20:17] <_Brun0_> tritium, i got it. the link i sent to you explains how to resolve my issue: "sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf" change hosts to: "hosts: files wins dns" and install winbind: sudo aptitude install winbind. Ty allot for your attention. [20:18] SlimeyPete, gren420, thank you! [20:18] 64 bit isn't that much faster, though jaunty might change that a bit [20:18] hello [20:18] Ghabit np [20:18] hi all [20:18] am new to ubuntu [20:18] !install [20:18] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[20:34] Ergo, those drives not being shown in the disk mounter panel applet and such. [20:34] Flannel, could you watch this guy over here, Ubuntunub? [20:34] Hi guys, I just got a 5 port PCI-USB card, I installed it on my 8.10 desktop PC and I was comparing write speeds with my WD My Passport to make sure its going full speed.So I copied a DVD-MP4 rip that I did its 1.1GB... [20:34] antonius: I would remove ubuntu-desktop, install xubuntu-desktop & then purge the uninstalled packages [20:34] antonius: 'course you don't need to purge if you don't care about the disk space [20:34] ubuntu is #1 linux ubuntu for life [20:35] can anyone help with a kernel panic?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:35] My onboard ports go at like 27MB/sec and the new card thats advertised at 10% faster than normal USB 2.0 is actually transfering at 10MB /sec slower.

[20:35] theonewhowas: but not exactly sure what it is saying [20:35] Ubuntunub, I do, but for the future, please don't unload your bad days on us. [20:36] Or is this completely normal? [20:36] Mark_Jones: Likely a result of the disk controller. [20:36] thank you. [20:36] http://www.ubuntu.com go here for help [20:36] theonewhowas: should I paste what I have to the pastebin? [20:36] brad_: Did you check the logs? [20:36] brad_: Sure [20:36] theonewhowas: I get the panic while booting/installing the livecd [20:36] So my Passport drive may not like the new USB card is that what you mean? [20:36] wolter: ok [20:37] Its a Belkin card. [20:37] nevada1920: do you have a support question? [20:37] Mark_Jones: It's not a matter of like or dislike, it's just that your passport drive may not be fast enough to completely utilize the usb controller [20:38] Hmm Well shouldnt that card transfer at least the same speed as my onboard USB jacks or not? [20:38] I can't get my wireless card to be read by ubuntu even though earlier today it worked fine- can someone help me? [20:38] theonewhowas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139752/ [20:38] Hello all, is it possible to obtain the device name from a mounted partition? [20:38] Mark_Jones: In theory, yes. [20:38] Mark_Jones, just use firewire, oh wait you can't passport doesnt support, tsk, tsk, tsk [20:38] madrazr: use mount [20:38] Yeah thats what I thought.I wonder if I should test on 8.04 and see if it has same speed. [20:38] brad_: Ok thanks got it [20:39] Is there actually a package I can install thats actually made to test drive transfer speeds instead of just reading what gnome tells me? [20:39] I can't get my wireless card to be read by ubuntu even though earlier today it worked fine- can someone help me? [20:39] brad_: Have you successfully booted from the disk before? [20:40] theonewhowas: I can boot from 8.04, but 8.10/9.04 both panic shortly after booting [20:40] theonewhowas: the checksums on both disk are fine [20:40] when i boot up i get a msg saying drdy [20:40] when clicking add file in DeVeDe inubuntu 8.10 it closes. I have tried the version in the repo and latest version but they do the same thing, Output from terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/139338/ [20:40] brad_: I've heard of that issue w/ the livecd for certain laptops. Have you tried the noapci cheatcode @ boot? [20:40] acpi** [20:40] yes [20:41] brad_: Is this just to intall? [20:41] install**( [20:41] I tried noacpi, noapic, nosmp, pci=noacpi, and all of them basically fail [20:41] whats the default configuration for outlook in the default config for postfix in ubuntu? [20:41] theonewhowas: well, I was trying to test it first, before installing [20:41] brad_: If you only need to install, I'd just recommend the alternate install disk [20:41] theonewhowas: it bothers me that it panics from the livecd, though. It doesn't make me feel confident that the install from alternate won't panic [20:42] theonewhowas: I'd much rather have someone determine the cause, and not have it panic from the livecd [20:42] pretender_, i had somewhat similar problem where cheese(web camera software) was receiving the same X error, turns out it didnt like ati's opensource drivers [20:42] brad_: Well, it's a bug. Maybe there's a workaround on launchpad somewhere [20:42] ok [20:42] nevada1920: I never heard of a "message saying drdy", please give more details [20:43] if i type "md5sum -c MD5FILE" it will start echoing filenames and ok next to it. but it gives no summary if all is ok. if one or more files is not ok, will it say so at the end of the echo? [20:43] brad_: I can almost guarantee that the alternate install disk won't panic though. [20:44] theonewhowas: I don't think the installer itself will panic, but the resulting installed OS more than likely will [20:44] brad_: Well, no way to know unless you try. ;) [20:44] if the live cd panics, there is a very high probability that the installed version will too [20:44] kristian_: try by changing one file... [20:44] Are there any good tools to query/debug 1394 video devices? (aside from the mythtv ones) === ruyy is now known as alicev === K is now known as Guest20101 [20:44] What does it mean when nm-applet indicates "device is unmanaged"? [20:44] brad_: It panicked during the boot process? [20:44] I'll post the panic on launchpad, and see if a kernel hacker can figure it out [20:44] whats the bash command to send a message to a specific user/terminal [20:44] it panicked after X booted [20:44] I can not get ubuntu to read my wireless card even though about 1hr ago it worked... can someone help please? [20:45] usser: ok thanks [20:45] brad_: I dunno then. [20:45] when quiet and splash are turned off, there is nothing out of the ordinary during boot, either [20:45] linux [20:45] ok, yeah, I will see if a kernel hacker can figure things out [20:45] brad_: I'd stay on the safe side too - maybe you wait another month, then 9.04 will be available ? [20:45] Itaku: program write [20:45] i think its some kind of kernel panic but it still work's hoy hoy [20:45] guntbert : it's on disc, but i guess i could copy files and test. :-P im tired. thansk [20:45] guntbert: 8.10 is panicing and 9.04 alpha 6 [20:45] Itaku, write [20:45] brad_: Tried the beta? [20:45] guntbert: looks like a high probability of something broken in the latest kernels [20:46] user____: I got what you were telling me. Sorry could not figure out back then. Sometimes, head just gets blocked in stubborn way. Thanks, [20:46] brad_: Well if the kernel loads no problem, it could be x-related. [20:46] user____: Solved the problem. :) [20:46] theonewhowas: well, I thought so too. Except there are times when I can boot, and actually use X [20:46] I can not get ubuntu to read my wireless card even though about 1hr ago it worked... can someone help please?

[21:23] :diablo did you try all the different options in sound preferences? A mini I was working on had to have internal mic boost cranked to get sound from the speakers [21:23] Nith: you just said you are able to login using tty [21:24] hi running hardy and sound seems to fail, no errors, vlc seems to function but no sound! how do i check/troubleshoot? and no its not muted [21:24] speakman: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/networking.html [21:24] pronoy: I cannot log in using tty, I have to restart into single user mode [21:24] @diablo its a fresh install, what do you have to lose?

[21:25] speakman: it deals with everything with networking in ubuntu [21:26] @ diablo installing the right sound drivers really shouldnt hurt anything [21:26] Nith: while in single user mode can you get to the screen where you can repair x [21:26] HammerHead66: can't see it covers WIFI?

[21:36] help with samba [21:36] theonewhowas, hmm yes screensaver did kick in an hour ago or so [21:36] (EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0) [21:36] so CADEGA? [21:36] argentum its paid and maybe crossover too but wine's the best [21:36] unitedpotsmokers: That web address is invalid [21:36] i see [21:36] pronoy: I've run xfix from single user mode but upon regular boot it dies right after login. I tried single user mode drop to root shell with startx but X ignores input [21:36] so wine is the best? [21:36] argentum: wine is not a window emulator [21:36] i see [21:36] mogi22: Sorry, but would you mind restarting? [21:36] i thought it was an emulator of windows [21:36] theonewhowas, but i copy & paste the address from miro website [21:36] What is the type1 module and why does nvidia-xconfig put it in xorg.conf? Should I just comment it out? [21:37] ok [21:37] Nith: man...i am not sure what to do [21:37] This file (http://repoubuntusoftware.info/dists/harty/all/binary-i386/Packages.gz) doesn't exist [21:37] Nith: repost ur query again. [21:37] ok, thanks anyway [21:37] Oh wow [21:37] harty [21:37] thanks [21:38] jklock: kk, back, should i start by installing restricted-extras? [21:38] unitedpotsmokers: (http://repoubuntusoftware.info/dists/hardy/all/binary-i386/Packages.gz) [21:38] argentum: if you want you can go for open source games...i am sure they have a steam counterpart game like open arena for quake [21:38] Whenever i login to GDM or to a tty, that program seems to end immediately. In single user mode, x server ignores mouse and keyboard. Anyone have any ideas? [21:38] unitedpotsmokers: Fixed the typo [21:38] steam counterpart? [21:38] open-source games... [21:38] theonewhowas, : oh, thanks a lot my friend. i will try now. i just copy & paste from their website. thanks again.. [21:39] What if i want to play a half life modification [21:39] is there a way to successfully run it in linux without wine [21:39] Nith: are you on laptop or desktop? [21:39] chotaz: did you see my messages? [21:39] or would that require lots of tweaking [21:39] HammerHead66: I'm on a laptop [21:39] i wish someone would just create repositories for those games. [21:39] argentum: upload the mod as you do on windows [21:39] so we could all play them on linux [21:39] bother [21:39] argentum: windows binaries often are not compatible with linux. Half life is not compatible. [21:39] damn it [21:39] argentum: the registery and the engine are replicated by wine on linux [21:39] I know how to use it on Wine [21:40] but the problem is [21:40] i lose FPS by about 50 % [21:40] when i use wine [21:40] theonewhowas, ok i restarted 2x, first time worked. 2nd time i did some on web and now sound fails again. [21:40] one line [21:40] even when i close down all of my compiz graphicals [21:40] maybe a better graphics card would fix that [21:40] argentum: fps_max 200 [21:40] theonewhowas, and i let it go into screensaver too [21:40] roger that. [21:40] when you boot up I want you to tap the "Num Lock " button on key board til it lights up and if it goes out tap again til it's on again ok [21:40] argentum: this isnt msn, easy on that enter key ;) [21:40] argentum: yeah graphics card always does taht [21:40] :) [21:40] theonewhowas, can screensaver really cause sound to fail? [21:40] i have a .tar file, how do I create a .tar.gz [21:40] mogi22: Screensaver shouldn't matter. Suspend sometimes doesn't wake sound again. [21:40] HAHA [21:40] I'm using such an old graphics card that might be why roger that [21:41] bluenzo^nix: gzip file.tar [21:41] theonewhowas: windows binaries aren't supposed to work with linux [21:41] right [21:41] ty erUSUL [21:41] eh. [21:41] theonewhowas, ok well it doesnt suspend [21:41] pronoy: If they utilize .NET, there is a chance they can [21:41] theonewhowas, its a desktop [21:41] Nith:when you boot up I want you to tap the "Num Lock " button on key board til it lights up and if it goes out tap again til it's on again ok [21:41] bluenzo^nix: tar can create that directly if you pass it the z option [21:41] uhh mono.. [21:41] theonewhowas: .NET ? why would they run even on .NET ? [21:42] mogi22: Ok, then.. I don't know. That's weird. [21:42] what do I do if spelt a username wrong, how do I edit it, without creating a new user and have to set a bunch of permissions [21:42] bluenzo^nix: e.g. tar czf file.tar.gz dir_to_tar_up/ [21:42] HammerHead66: the keyboard's caps does work. I can also kill X via CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE or switch back to the tty's [21:42] maragaret: You have to create a new username w/ & set a bunch of permissions. :) [21:42] maragaret: man usermod === slicer_ is now known as slicer- [21:42] ty [21:42] HammerHead66: hey it did not work is there a way to go back to hardy from 8.10 without reinstalling [21:42] maragaret: Disregard [21:43] SeViLLa: I don't know but keep asking around [21:43]  Nith: ok 1 min [21:43] !downgrade | SeViLLa [21:43] SeViLLa: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.

[21:44] ok... this is really REALLY annoying, i can;t use the suggested spelling feature in pidgin, the list shows up, but it ignores what ever i select, im running pidgin 2.5.2 because 2.5.5 isnt in repos yet. this is really beginning to be a problem... [21:45] patg7590 here- I was getting help about resetting xorg.conf for a messed up virtual display [21:45] can i upgrade to jaunty beta without a full format [21:45] gartral: The plugin? Or aspell?

[21:46] WorldWar_III: anyone what ? [21:47] WorldWar3: hello [21:47] PatrickGleason: Can you get to a console @ all? Because that setting just reset xorg.conf and doesn't affect anything else [21:47] anyone wanna try to save the world i guess ? [21:47] :) [21:47] pronoy: what ? [21:47] pronoy: it tell me that my display, and graphics, couldn't be detected [21:47] gartral: Make sure aspell in installed [21:47] maragaret: if corey is the corrct one and cory what you have now yes. note that the manpage says that you have to change the home manually [21:47] theonewho was- i shut it down manually [21:47] ikonia: kidding man [21:47] #israel [21:47] pronoy: then i have to boot in low graphics mode [21:47] WorldWar_III: do you need help with something ? [21:47] theonewhowas: I just held the power button down [21:47] theonewhowas: i can click a choise maybe once out of every 50 tries, but most of the time, its little more use than a spelling reference [21:48] !pm > WorldWar_III [21:48] WorldWar_III, please see my private message [21:48] yes [21:48] WorldWar_III: how can we help ? [21:48] gartral: You want it to automagically fix your words? [21:48] SeViLLa: gimme the output of this file gedit etc/X11/xorg.conf on pastebin [21:48] theonewhowas: lol [21:48] PatrickGleason: I don't know what happened, but that resets xorg.conf. [21:49] theonewhowas: no, i want to be able to select from the list, instead of having to memorise how each damn word is spelled [21:49] pronoy: ive never used pastebin [21:49] give me a second [21:49] theonewhowas: What can I do besides resetting that file to fix my resolution? everything just looks fuzzy ever since i plugged it into my tv with svideo [21:49] SeViLLa: go to paste.ubuntu.com [21:50] theonewhowas: and aspell IS installed, but i lack the ability to select a word it gives me [21:50] I am having theme problems. I installed a theme, the theme was fine. I had a hard time installing icons. I believe I finally have. Then it says the theme may not look proper gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks wasnt installed. I just now installed 'ubuntulooks' but now I get the error "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine " is not installed.

One of the options should be spelling suggestions.. Check under that menu? [21:50] gartral: I literally just used it. [21:51] theonewhowas: UGH i HAVE that, but it wont let me click a word! [21:51] Does anyone know of a mirror that still has the original Ubuntu 8.04 for download? I can only find ubuntu 8.04.2 and need to do some testing... [21:51] theonewhowas: i get a nice big list of suggested spellings, but it ignores my clicks! [21:51] Ceno3x-> but why? [21:51] PatrickGleason: You could try appearance settings. Changing the settings for displaying font, etc. And you can also manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf for a manual resolution [21:51] gartral: But no where else? [21:52] gartral: Clicks are only ignored for that specific context menu? [21:52] graingert, I've been experiencing problems with my graphics card and I think the first time I installed it in april I didn't have those problems [21:52] theonewhowas: exactly, ive reinstalled pidgin 5 times, and aspell twice, and STILL i have this problem, and it seems localised to pidgin [21:52] but there's only one way to find out... [21:52] Help on watching YouTube videos... a very few work, most don't. Any suggestions? [21:52] Ceno3x-> hmmmmm [21:52] Ceno3x-> whatg flavor/ [21:52] hi all [21:52] Ceno3x-> what flavour?* [21:53] the normal [21:53] Zzeiss: reinstall flash? [21:53] gartral: That is a most unusual problem. Is it possibly a problem with X? [21:53] I tried googling, but damn it's all 8.04.2 ... [21:53] theonewhowas: i noticed 2.5.5 has some security and bug fixes, but the devs dont seem to think its worth upping in the repos, for some crazy reason [21:53] Well, but then there would be problems elsewhere.. [21:53] chop: gnash? Hmmm... [21:53] theonewhowas: i dont think so, as i seem to remember hitting it in windows like a year ago [21:54] gartral: Well, 9.04 is about to be released. Idk. You could go complain to the package maintainer [21:54] SeViLLa: there ? [21:54] gartral: Or compile it for yourself [21:54]  pronoy: she logged out [21:55] theonewhowas: no, the maintainer wants it included, but conanical doesnt seem too think its worth putting in, doesnt meet the feature freeze [21:55] pronoy: yes [21:55]  pronoy: ok maybe not my bad [21:55] pronoy: whats the link again [21:55] :) [21:55] gartral: I suppose the security updates critical enough. :\.

[22:13] sprinkmeier, weird you'd think that for linux one of the most basic things would be present (for a friendly distro) suc as an easy to use text editor [22:13] s/loud/louder [22:13] waldir, try it, there's a bit "warning, about to write changes to disk" dialog that you can always abort on if you're unsure [22:13] sprinkmeier: so that is the only option? [22:13] it says here "e-GeForce 6200 Graphics Card" on the box [22:13] pronoy: i mean there is nothing in the window [22:13] runes, like nano, vi, gedit? [22:13] sprinkmeier: ok... but it's scary :) [22:13] SeViLLa: this means your graphics card isn't attached properly or something [22:13] lovre: this is something ive hit, you need to completly remover what bits of wubi are installed, and run a full disk check on your next reboot, then it should work [22:13] waldir, backups! [22:14] sprinkmeier, some articles I read said nano and gedit do add the cr figured I'd ask here fi that is the case? [22:14] sprinkmeier: I'd have to buy another HD for that :( [22:14] ubottu | sprinkmeier [22:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about sprinkmeier [22:14] waldir: maybe there is no space left on your disk? [22:14] lovre, problably not, but I'm not very familiar with how wubi works. I assum eit creates a huge file which contains the whole install? [22:14] pronoy: so what should i do [22:14] SeViLLa: cuz its not detecting it....if it were detecting it ..the appropriate drivers would have been displayed [22:14] sprinkmeier | ubottu [22:14] gartral: what do you mean by "you need to completly remover what bits of wubi are installed" [22:14] gartral: what are you trying to do?

[22:15] sprinkmeier: i dont think its that simple as one file..... [22:15] pronoy: laptop [22:15] guys. if we have a word document created by microsoft office 2007, and we want to open it with open office 3, and the problem is it cant view like microsoft word 2007, the format change, how to solve this problem?

[22:15] pronoy: dell inspirion 6oom [22:15] falstaff: does it have its own power managment? [22:15] runes, to be honest I don't know/care, it Just Works(tm) for me. As I said, unix2dos and dos2unix can be used to enforce the CR/LF-iness you require post-edit. [22:16] thanx sprinkmeier [22:16] hey guys.. i have a really really really basic question... i've never had to deal with this before.. how do i change to a directory with a space in terminal (Virtual Machines) [22:16] pronoy: I don't know I have never tried that [22:16] waldir, I usually find that that's cheaper than risking loads of time/data. YMMV of course... [22:16] chronic: any way to check whether a hardware is plugged in or not ? like a scan or something [22:16] sprinkmeier: escape char [22:16] sprinkmeier: cd direct\ tory [22:16] unitedpotsmokers: maybe convert it to .doc in ms word and then open the doc with oo.o ? [22:16] gartral: its a tv, so no, it shouldn't... it is connected over hdmi, and i can see at my av-receiver that i lost hdmi signal [22:16] SeViLLa: did you run any other OS other than ubuntu ? [22:17] ikonia, ? [22:17] guntbert: this is what's weird. I have a 16GB free partition, but the installer is just ignoring it. I am actually reinstalling ubuntu cause the first time I installed it the guided option was to use the remaining 5GB from my data partition (even though the 16GB unpartitioned space was there on purpose and it detected it as free space! -- it afterwards formatted it as ext3 but doesnt seem to be using it..) [22:17] How do you edit the settings of a screensaver? :| [22:17] spc_: cd my\ house [22:17] pronoy: windows xp was the origanal [22:17] sprinkmeier: \ is an escape char sprinkmeier so escape the space with \ [22:17] SeViLLa: did your card run on that ? [22:17] bluenzo^ubuntu, system->pref->screensaver [22:17] pronoy: yes [22:17] Is ubuntu 32bit version more stable than the 64bit version? [22:18] Absolute0: I personaly don't think so. [22:18] thanks user_____ [22:18] ikonia, I know, I just don't remember asking about it. [22:18] guntbert: can you explain me why it did that? :( I was puzzled [22:18] SeViLLa: this is wierd...your card is plugged in but not detected === desti_T2 is now known as desti [22:18] emma : thanks for reply. i don't have microsoft word 2007, i only use open office. the word document belong to my friend.. but now that document have something to fix, and im afraid, if i fix them with open office their format change [22:18] sprinkmeier: ooh sorry, I must have typed the wrong nick [22:18] emma: no 64 bit version, flash problems etc.. [22:18] emma: talking about other distros... [22:18] *no 64 bit wine version [22:18] falstaff: no clue, i dont even havea dvi monitor here, but at school, we had these dumb monitors that went powersave after an hour, and they did it regardless of what you were doing, if if the comp was even on [22:18] pronoy: on that card I seen a driver for windows but not in the Linux section in ATI Driver Download [22:19] waldir: sorry, I'm afraid I cannot explain that - its been a while since I installed ubuntu (apart from virtual machines, where I didn't care about partitioning) [22:19] HammerHead66: ATI Rv250 ? [22:19] unitedpotsmokers: tell your friend to dump word for open office ;) [22:19] Absolute0: I have used 64 bit exclusively since Hardy and there are no problems that I would attribute to 64 bit. It works fine. And the Flash issue is no longer an issue. One thing to keep in mind is that you should have at least 4GB of RAM in order to see any benefit from 64 bit. [22:19] irc.ubuntu.com is freenode :) [22:19] pronoy:yea [22:19] does anyone have experience with getting nVidia drivers to work? [22:20] emma: why 4gig? [22:20] SeViLLa: your card is ATI Radeon 9000 Rv250 ? [22:20] Hi, I am talking from windows box now, but I have managed to lock myself out of /home/cory when I was trying to fix a typo in the username eg. usermod -l corey cory [22:20] gartral, : lol... [22:20] emma: all I care about is 64 bit ints in C :) [22:20] pronoy: correct [22:20] emma: well any time you add ram you get faster speeds. [22:20] processors don't add much [22:21] Absolute0: has to do with how 64bit works. It's over my head though so you would have to google it. 4 GB is the minimum to where 64bit starts making a difference. 32 bit cannot handle 4GB or better so if you have more than 4GB in yoru computer it doesn't get used unless its 64 bit (I think) [22:21] pronoy: there is no proprietary driver for that card [22:21] I have tried sudo usermod -d -m cory /home/cory /home/corey [22:21] guntbert: I tried the manual partitioning option but it requested information I was unsure about :( I'll try sprinkmeier suggestion and follow the guided "use entire disk" option and see what it says afterwards [22:21] SeViLLa: ok this is gonna be fun...we're gonna edit ur xorg.conf [22:21] Margaret: just rename the directory to the new username and chown it if neccesary from recovery mode [22:21] gartral: hm, just found xset, with which you can forces dpms on [22:21] Absolute0, speed comes from removing bottlenecks. those may be CPU, but usually RAM (as you said). most systems are sold with woefully little RAM to make them look cheaper. [22:21] BobTheBlueBerry: oh.. nVidia/ATi drivers have few builds that work outside of heavy modification for ubuntu, you should only use the restriced drivers manager's drivers [22:21] gartral: i try this, maybe it helps... thanks anyway [22:22] pronoy: ok im up for it [22:22] need help my sound doesn't work on the internet. ubuntu 64bit [22:22] pronoy: hay I found the driver at ATI for linux [22:22] too bad I can't get into GNOME to enable them [22:22] tu-offtopic [22:22] crdlb: what bout fgrlx ? [22:22] ubuntu-offtopic [22:22] sprinkmeier: would you agree that if you have 4 or more GB of ram in your system, you won't really use the extra ram if you have 32 bit? [22:22] pronoy: doesn't support it [22:22] BobTheBlueBerry: you dont have onnboard video, or is this a laptop? [22:23] what channel mode is +e ? [22:23] I have onboard, but it's Intel, and it sucks [22:23] waldir: if I remember correctly "guided" means there is a proposal which you can accept or decline, so go with that (be careful with your clicks on [ok] though :-)) [22:23] emma: ban exempt [22:23] Hi guys, Im now realizing Im having trouble with this new USB PCI card.When I boot with a drive connected, it mounts the drive and all is fine.If I unplug the drive durring a session, and then plug it back in it seems as if Ubuntu drops the USB card completely no power or anything coming from it. Or could it be a power supply issue and how can I tell? [22:23] emma, I believe that different OS's have different RAM limits. IIRC windows-32 bit can't use more than about 3.5G, not sure about Linuxes, I've never had that much RAM to play with :-( [22:23] crdlb: what's that mean? [22:23] emma: its impossible to address more than 4 gb ram with a 32bit os, period, unless you have special hardware [22:24] X.Org doesn't want to use onboard when it can try and fail to use my nVidia card [22:24] kolby: mybe you should type /join #.... [22:24] sprinkmeier: emma it is the same on linux and windows how much you can use over 3GB depends on pci address space bios configuration [22:24] 4gigs of ram is only usefull for servers or super needy games [22:24] guntbert: I didnt get any confirmation dialog, it's already asking me for my username and such... does it come at the end of the installer instead? [22:24] SeViLLa: pronoy: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/linux64-radeon-prer200.aspx [22:24] otherwise its useless [22:24] i have 3 and it runs just fine.. [22:24] gartral: right so that's why people who have more than 4GB should use 64 bits. [22:24] emma: mibbit is banned, but mibbit users can get the bot to exempt them for the session (after verifying that their host is not banned) [22:24] erUSUL, thanks! [22:24] same thing happens with 8.04 live cd [22:24] guntbert: I misstyped a few times [22:24] sprinkmeier: for example a 512 MB graphic card may still 512MB from your ram [22:24] crdlb: man.... [22:24] HammerHead66: link please [22:24] crdlb, HammerHead66: what if i use AIGLX instead of proprietary fglrx with XGL ? [22:24] HammerHead66: whats up? [22:24] 8.10 is 64 bit right? [22:24] erUSUL, I was just using tty1 instead of recovery, sudo mv /home/corey /home/cory and then sudo chown 7XX /home/cory [22:24] crdlb: that's quite.... involved. [22:25] rc-default main process terminated [22:25] waldir: sorry, I really don't remember, but you *might* want to try it with virtual machine before [22:25] guntbert: that "100%" for ubuntu is really making me concerned... [22:25] SeViLLa: make sure that xserver-xorg-video-ati is installed [22:25] kolby: ;-)) [22:25] SeViLLa: are you using 64 bit or 32 bit OS > [22:25] Margaret: chown -R newuser:newuser /home/newuser [22:25] pronoy: what does AIGLX have to do with this? [22:25] erUSUL, read = 4 write =2 and exe=1 right [22:26] erUSUL, what does -R stand for [22:26] pronoy: 32 bit [22:26] Margaret: yes but we do not want to change modes we want to change the owner [22:26] crdlb: you see if we use AIGLX instead of fglrx the graphic problem might get solved....because the latter is very problematic [22:26] When you add a new PCI card do you generally need to do a fresh install or not? [22:26] guntbert: however I tried one step back and it shows my system as it is again.. I guess I'll move forward. wish me luck :) [22:26] Margaret: you are confusing chown with chmod [22:26] emma: it's not quite true, I have a 32Bit OS with 4GB RAM. You need to enable the PEA-extension [22:26] waldir: I understand, maybe you should ask the channel again about the installation, or ... [22:26] pronoy: those are apples and oranges :) [22:26] Margaret: -R aplies the change to the folder and all subfolders and files beneath it [22:27] SeViLLa: 32bit ------------------------------> http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/linux64-radeon-prer200.aspx [22:27] SeViLLa: was it installed? [22:27] erUSUL, recursive [22:27] hey guys is there a way to get color to work on vlc player [22:27] waldir: .... or you start with the live CD and use gparted from there [22:27] crdlb: i will check [22:27] that's what I am doing [22:27] andres_, what you mean by color? [22:27] HammerHead66: that would require using an _ancient_ version of X [22:27] guntbert: I am using the live cd [22:27] crdlb: oh !! i get it....it wasn't installed in the first place.... !! sorry [22:27] i have all the color contrast of the dvd coming in mixed [22:28] like its all unbalance [22:28] crdlb: yeah...you're right...its got nothing to do with AIGLX [22:28] andres you have libdvdcss installed? [22:28] i have the hue settings configured etc... and it black and white right now [22:28] yah [22:28] i wasnt able to play encrypted dvds until i install libdvdcss [22:28] right [22:28] hi every1, does anyone have any idea why ubuntu 8.0.4 recognises only 3Gb out of 4Gb on my Dell Studio 1357 [22:28] waldir: then you can have a look at your harddisk with gparted before you start the install [22:28] that at least let me play commercial discs [22:28] init: rc-default main process (5572) terminated with status 139ault [22:28] andres what about ubuntu restricted extras? [22:28] mrjulio: it's quite normal, if you aren't on 64bit [22:29] but whether i have a decrypted dvd or encyrpted dvd it still playes with the colors jacked [22:29] hmmm... [22:29] guntbert: I have, but this doesnt give me any more choices with the installer [22:29] i have restritcted extras installed as well [22:29] hmm [22:29] I could of course try the manual install [22:29] yah that is what i said [22:29] andreas do you have any restricted video drivers installed? [22:29] you think this is something to do with my video card/ [22:29] hi all!! [22:29] no that i know of [22:30] crdlb: yes its at its latest version [22:30] waldir, what's the other OS? does it still boot (I've not seen this sort of behaviour and I'm just wondering if something is messed up) [22:30] atm nothing than the default i think [22:30] let me double check [22:30] maybe you could try enabling one and see if its better [22:30] oh... [22:30] crdlb: yeah...you're right...its got nothing to do with AIGLX [22:30] gartral: so should I use the nVidia drivers from synaptic? [22:30] I've got a ATI Radeon HD 4800 and a Samsung SyncMaster 932MW connected with a HDMI DVI cable. From now on, I can't enable the graphic effects (before when it was connected with a VGA cable it used to work). [22:30] i actually have the my nvidia drivers installed [22:30] hello guys, where to find installers which i download from add/remove program or ultamatix because i want to save them, and next time i can run setup again [22:30] LjL: uhmm ... so is it a ubuntu issue? [22:30] for compiz fusion [22:30] mrjulio: no [22:30] i think i need to tweak the card a little [22:30] maybe disable them and see if there buggy? [22:30] mrjulio: the same would happen on any other 32-bit OS [22:30] k [22:30] just a moment [22:30] mrjulio: no; windows has exactly the same problem [22:30] BobTheBlueBerry: yes, but match the geforce series with your card, or else they wont take [22:30] mrjulio: windows 32 bit that's it [22:31] turn off desktop effects while you watcha video if needed. [22:31] so should i install a 64-bit ubuntu? [22:31] mrjulio: a 32-bit processor can only directly address (by definition) 4GB of RAM. since there is stuff that needs to be addressed aside from actual RAM, the actual available RAM for addressing will be less than 4gb [22:31] mrjulio: first ask yourself, do you *need* more than 3gb for *anything*? [22:31] how do you turn off desktop effects? [22:31] mrjulio: i can only think of a few quite special circumstances when one would use more than 3gb of RAM [22:31] pronoy: how is it going on your end [22:31] system, preferences, appearance [22:31] k [22:31] visual effects [22:31] mrjulio: i would go to 64 bit. my opinion of course [22:32] SeViLLa: hmm, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put Driver "radeon" in Section "Device" [22:32] none [22:32] mrjulio: 4GB on a 32Bit System: http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/how-to-use-4-gb-ram-on-a-32-bit-ubuntu/ [22:32] SeViLLa: searching forums.. [22:32] pronoy: k [22:32] hey folks, I am having trouble with OpenVpn. It can't find the libcrypto.so.0. I gather I have to get it into my path, but how? [22:32] LjL IBM had made a ram bridg, at some point, i never knew how it worked, but it allowed a single 32 bit cpu to address 6 gb of ram, and two cpus to adress 8 [22:32] sprinkmeier: what do you mean? I have an ntfs windows partition occupying 1/4 of the disk, then a 1/2 of the disk for a fat32 partition with data, then a 6GB ntfs with a clean windows install and a 15GB in the end... [22:32] why wouldnt windows boot? [22:33] gartral: for that matter, you can address >4gb using the PAE kernel [22:33] I've got a ATI Radeon HD 4800 and a Samsung SyncMaster 932MW connected with a HDMI DVI cable. From now on, I can't enable the graphic effects (before when it was connected with a VGA cable it used to work). [22:33] gartral: i just said you can't *directly* address them [22:33] how can I search for a channel whose name contains a certain pattern? [22:33] LjL didnt that sacrifice stability though? [22:33] i have an emulator program i compiled, now i have bunch of files and dont know how to start the program [22:33] sprinkmeier: I just want the installer to take the 15GB I've set for it! :( [22:33] dude_sweet: did you install openvpn from the standard ubuntu package of it? [22:33] waldir: wait that sound strange, can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l ? [22:33] gartral: dunno [22:33] guntbert: ok [22:33] I sure did [22:33] chronic: there's a README file somewhere, surely? === mitm is now known as MITM [22:34] unitedpotsmokers: well you can download the .deb packagaes [22:34] bedo2991:try reinstalling the drivers http://paste.ubuntu.com/139399/ [22:34] waldir, I've not seen the behaviour you describe (installer not wanting to use the free space etc.), it seems wrong. I was just wondering if the wrong-nes might be caused by some corruption of your partition table or somesuch evil. Booting the other OS should verify that things are (mostly) OK. [22:34] using sticky notes, when i click anything on the dekstop, the sticky notes go back to panel, i want to stay on the desktop no matter wat i do [22:34] BobTheBlueBerry: still having problems with the drivers ? [22:34] dude_sweet: what's the output of "apt-cache policy libssl0.9.8 | grep Instal"? [22:35] BobTheBlueBerry: if I may suggest...try using envy .... [22:35] LjL: no readme, the main readme doesnt say how to execute it, just say "start it", genius , i know [22:35] ok [22:35] chronic: which emulator would this be? [22:35] sprinkmeier: it was booting just before I installed ubuntu the first time earlier today, though I didn't try to boot it again [22:35] yabause [22:35] how can I search for a channel whose name contains a certain pattern? [22:35] crdlb: ok i did that then did . xconf [22:35] grandemahatma: /msg alis help [22:35] pronoy, : yup i download *deb package manually.. but if we use add/remove program i think maybe it will download *deb package or installer into our hard drive rite? so where can i find them? which folder? [22:36] LjL: thanks.. now what exactly is "alis"? [22:36] i know its a stupid problem but it is important..kindly help ..using sticky notes, when i click anything on the dekstop, the sticky notes go back to panel, i want to stay on the desktop no matter wat i do [22:36] guntbert: it's gonna be a little more complicated than what I described cause the first ubuntu install subdivided it even more... perhaps I'll paste a screenshot of gparted it might be easier to understand [22:36] chronic: are you on Hardy? [22:36] waldir, personally I'd be grabbing a cheap HDD (external or internal), backing up the disk and then trying the installer, or maybe taking the box to a LUG for someone to look at. [22:36] Installed: 0.9.8g-10.1ubuntu2.1 [22:36] LjL: jaunty [22:37] I've recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 and then Updated the system. Now whenever I try to check, I get errors about GPG. Where can I import the public key? [22:37] chronic: err... then why are you compiling it from source? [22:37] pronoy: brb [22:37] crdlb: hey if the drivers were installed to the latest versions does it mean it was the proprietary ones ? [22:37] waldir: I'd prefer the output of sudo fdisk -l, if you don't mind [22:37] LjL: why not [22:37] chronic: ... because there is a package?

[22:47] mib_ak4tq1: means you didn't install it you just got through the live cd...try it again... [22:47] pronoy, Why do you ask if you can't help? [22:47] Howdy [22:47] pronoy: how do i start it again? boot from cd? [22:48] dude_sweet: try "sudo ldconfig" [22:48] mib_ak4tq1, did you go through the installer? [22:48] waldir: so I said :-) [22:48] verb3k: but i think the older version had the sound issue... [22:48] I'm just logging in case of any problems, I'm downloading the ubuntu iso and going to load it in vmware [22:48] hook: yes it said restart and than the peach screen [22:48] shouldn't X.Org be able to detect my graphics card even if it isn't the primary graphics adapter? [22:48] mib_ak4tq1: no ...install ubuntu [22:48] guntbert: you said that? i didnt get it :( [22:48] LjL: is it just me or is there no such file as libcrypto.so.0? (at least on hardy and jaunty) [22:48] pronoy, I am looking for any old version not only the one before the latest [22:48] guntbert: isnt this channel too crowded? [22:49] So... how reliable is ubuntu-boot-from-flashdrive these days? [22:49] pronoy: how do i install it, i dont have an operating system on this computer at all [22:49] crdlb: it's not just you (and i don't have an intrepid to test it on, either, just hardy) [22:49] TheFuzzball: ahh, that your scewered on, unless you like ming [22:49] guntbert: let me see if I remember how to PM [22:49] And is there a special ubuntu channel for flashdrive boots? [22:49] mib_ak4tq1: insert the cd and it will guide you ..there will be an option saying install ubuntu [22:49] puff: don't think so, no [22:50] pronoy: okay so i should do this a second time? with the cd? [22:50] no sound on ubuntu 8.10 i get a error says No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [22:50] can anyone help [22:50] I installed pident, started it, but it doesn't return a ident ? :s any id what I could do wrong ? :) [22:50] mib_ak4tq1: yes reboot and then click on install ubuntu...don't try ubuntu without any changes to your system === Dox is now known as Guest58641 [22:51] verb3k: well the repositories for one won't have that....you can try it on adobe's site [22:51] crdlb: this is the standard output of that command http://paste.ubuntu.com/139838/ [22:51] cypher1, [22:51] pronoy, I see, thanks for your time [22:51] no sound on ubuntu 8.10 i get a error says No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [22:51] can anyone help [22:51] crdlb: if it were my system, eh... i'd just make a symlink to libcrypto.so.0 :) but i'm not entirely sure that's good advice to give someone else [22:52] hello, I can browse quite quickly, but my download speeds are at 5 kb/s any idea why? [22:52] pronoy: thank you i will try [22:52] Acedip, i am seeing this in the help menu "To hide all your notes, either click on the desktop, or right-click the Sticky Notes applet and choose Hide Notes." [22:52] it is going to take me 7 hours to download the kubuntu live cd [22:52] ndshacker: your browser probably caches stuff [22:52] ndshacker: What is your connnection? [22:52] bob: even on new sites its faster than 5 kb/s [22:52] a 1.5 mb line [22:52] If I install ubuntu on a flash drive from one machine can I boot it on another machine? I.e. are there hardware configuraiton dependencies? [22:52] oh [22:52] Acedip, which seems to happen in your case... but for me it stays but does not go to panel.. i do not know which behaviour is correct for it.. lol [22:53] crdlb: you get it [22:53] Acedip, check out this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/61919 [22:53] ndshacker: Try rebooting your network equipment. Otherwise, I would recommend either kernel.org or mit.edu for mirrors. [22:53] puff: there might be, for X video drivers at least, although with Intrepid i think that's not the case anymore, but i'm not sure [22:53] ndshacker: trust me when i say linux browsing is faster than anyother OS...can't say anything for download speed [22:53] pronoy: im currently hovering on 5 kb/s a little extremely slow if you ask me [22:53] SeViLLa: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old [22:54] cypher1, does knote provide with the same feature as sticky notes, i can install that if it does [22:54] ndshacker: i get it...you should try the mirror..or maybe the torrent . [22:54] LjL: I've imported the standard keys and the XBMC one too. How do I then install XBMC? Which application do I use? [22:54] pronoy: its all downlads [22:54] *downloads [22:54] evilnick: i don't know what xbmc even is [22:54] Acedip, i am not sure.. you can checkout tomboy (but its more of a personal wiki) and it has always on top feature too [22:54] hello guys, my friend here said don't use "make install" but use "checkinstall". but he cannot give a reason why. so what is the different between them? which one is safe? [22:54] evilnick: Isn't that a media center application? [22:55] LjL-> xbox media centre [22:55] ndshacker: the torrent might speed up depending upon the number of seeders [22:55] !tomboy [22:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about tomboy [22:55] !checkinstall | unitedpotsmokers [22:55] unitedpotsmokers: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [22:55] pronoy: All downloads, even torrents [22:55] cypher1, couldn't find that allways on top feature there either :( [22:55] ndshacker: Wait... Are you using BT for a protocol? [22:55] unitedpotsmokers: the later lets you unistall the program via a package manager [22:55] evilnick: so this xbmc thing is in the repository that you added? [22:55] Acedip, its available with tomboy [22:55] its like it caps it off at 20 kb/s max [22:55] unitedpotsmokers: if you just install it would be hard to remove from the system [22:55] Does anybody here use a network cloning solution besides clonezilla to clone a large number of Ubuntu machines?

[22:55] unitedpotsmokers: I'm not a fan of it, the best thing to do is to install stuff into your home directory or somewhere in /opt/, but it's more work [22:56] erUSUL, : ahh ic.. then if i use check install it is easy to me to uninstall them [22:56] * usser one should always keep the sources after compiling, thats why there's /usr/src people [22:56] LjL: I believe so. I have added the PPA (?) and now am stuck for how to download/install it [22:56] a good notetaking suite is basket (some kde libs required though, if you're a gnome Purest, do not install it) [22:56] um....no go. same issue. I did a ldconfig -v to look at it further and I did not see it in the /lib or /usr/lib [22:56] ok understand now.. thanks guys u help me a lot.. [22:56] Ryan_Leaf: you mean client right ? [22:56] evilnick: like any other repositori. "sudo apt-get install " or using Synaptic.

[22:58] pronoy: I thought BT was a protocol. "BitTorrent" is also an application. But you can use BT protocol with "Transmission", "Azureus", or "uTorrent" [22:58] evilnick: no, terminal is just an option. you can do the same thing from Synaptic. please read the link i gave you, you *need* to know how software is generally installed and removed correctly in Ubuntu [22:58] and open /boot/grub/menu.lst and erase the part about windows [22:58] !fixres > PatrickGleason (PatrickGleason, see the private message from ubottu) [22:58] /usr/local/sbin/openvpn [22:58] will it mess up my ubuntu boot or should i do all this in ubuntu [22:58] PatrickGleason: happened to me too....used fix X or maybe edited the xorg.conf [22:58] Does anybody here use a network cloning solution besides clonezilla to clone a large number of Ubuntu machines? [22:58] crdlb++ [22:58] also, /me facepalms [22:58] would my dad downloading stuff slow me down? [22:58] by this much?

[22:59] I'm trying to use the manual partitioning in the installer. How to I mark a partition as the one I want ubuntu installed on? [23:00] What's the channel for 9.04? [23:00] waldir: ext3 type format ...boot at / [23:00] !jaunty > Megarain (Megarain, see the private message from ubottu) [23:00] Megarian : i think its #ubuntu~1 or ubuntu1 [23:00] Hi there, when I run `top` on one of my ubuntu machines I get 'xterm-256color' unknown terminal type. What do I have to do ? [23:00] uh...ignorance more than likely....not on purpose [23:00] neither. [23:00] Megarain: #ubuntu+1 [23:00] Thanks LJ, Been a while since I've used a beta. [23:00] pronoy: You could also boot at /boot [23:01] waldir: mount point → / [23:01] genii: thnx [23:01] dude_sweet: ok, please keep well in mind that software should NEVER be installed from outside the official repositories unless you know what you're doing VERY well. [23:01] but if he's dual booting Windows and Linux, then it might make sense for him to use one partiton for data and one for SWAP [23:01] waldir: make sure you leave some space specifically as swap memory....a different partition usually the space equalent to the space of you RAM [23:01] dude_sweet: what's happening now is that you have both the official openvpn package installed, *and* some unofficial one [23:01] X.Org won't work unless I physically remove my graphics card from my machine. [23:01] thanks pronoym erUSUL [23:01] dude_sweet: the latter overrides the former, and is apparently incompatible with your libraries [23:01] PatrickGleason: if all else fails look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/800x600%20video%20mode monitor section and modes section [23:01] dude_sweet: so now pastebin the output of "find /usr/local | grep vpn" [23:01] pronoy: How much would you recommend? I usually set it to 8GB, even though I only have 1GB of physical memory [23:01] lost the start bar [23:01] hi [23:02] cant get connected to wireless internet on ubuntu [23:02] what should i do to [23:02] Ryan_Leaf: i guess you could set it to like 2 gigs wouldn't make much of difference [23:02] can somebody help me or give me a link :X [23:02] have it back [23:02] pronoy: there are two swap partitions already there, from a previous install... can I use that? [23:02] Ryan_Leaf: should be greater than or equal to the physical memory [23:02] waldir: yeah...you can.... [23:02] crdlb: ok here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/139844/ [23:02] pronoy: in fact I don't know where the second came from [23:02] crdlb: ok here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/139844/ [23:02] can anybdy help me [23:03] /usr/local/sbin/openvpn - /usr/local/share/man/man8/openvpn.8.gz [23:03] waldir: infact you just need one...delete the other one...use it with the ext3 [23:03] can anybody help me or give me a link? [23:03] Because i have searched EVERYWHERE [23:03] :( [23:03] so should I investigate removing them and starting from scratch? [23:03] dude_sweet: only those two? ok, "sudo mv /usr/local/sbin/openvpn /usr/local/sbin/openvpn-custom" [23:03] !helpme | bonyui [23:03] bonyui: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [23:03] i want to get back the start bar in the desktop panel [23:03] dude_sweet: then try again starting "openvpn" [23:03] gearsecond: Well in Linux you don't get a start menu. But if you need the Ubuntu "equivilent", then click on one of the panels, and go to "Add to Panel" and there should be an object you can add that does what you are looking for. I believe there is a description [23:04] i deleted that panel [23:04] !wireless | bonyui [23:04] bonyui: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:04] bontui: what network adapter do you have? [23:04] pronoy: the problem is i dont know which one is actually being used by the current ubuntu installation, but since I-m going to remove it afterwards, it should be no problem, right? [23:04] guys, one stupid question... if i download any *tgz files, and run command checkinstall, it will generate *deb package rite.. then i can double click that *deb package to install rite? [23:04] ty Flannel =] [23:04] bonyui: yeah sounds irritating bro but patience is the key to getting answers here...i assure you someone will come to your assistance [23:04] pronoy: Theoretically, if you had 32GB of RAM, couldn't you get away with only 256MB of SWAP (or no swap at all?) [23:04] SeViLLa: ouch, the radeon driver is crashing :/ [23:04] Hola. [23:04] unitedpotsmokers: no; it does not work that way [23:04] and i ve lost the open windows bar too [23:04] !es | greenrhian [23:04] greenrhian: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:04] i cant see now which windows ive got opened [23:04] unitedpotsmokers: you don't even need to click on the package, it'll already be installed. but you can keep the package if you remove it and want to reinstall it later. [23:05] SeVilla: In my experience, ATI cards suck on Linux. It's ATIs fault, not the Linux communities. [23:05] waldir: well swap memory is like you know same...it doesn't matter how many partitions you have they add up [23:05] unitedpotsmokers: what *is* it that you're trying to compile anyway? [23:05] community's* [23:05] how can i stop pulseaudio from loading on reboot and just use ALSA? [23:05] LjL, : ahh ic... [23:05] waldir: if you have one partition it just looks neat :) [23:05] LjL, i want to install flashcam for gyachi [23:05] unitedpotsmokers: you have to untar the thing and do the ./configure; make steps. the only thing that changes with checkinstall is that you use checkinstall instead of make install on the fuinal step [23:05] ¿alguien me recomienda un programa de correos sencillo? Evolution no me gusta nada, y con Thunderbird me lío bastante. [23:05] pronoy: oh i didnt know that [23:05] SeViLLa: does 'lsmod | grep radeon' show anything? [23:05] does anybody here run pulseaudio as a system daemon on jaunty? [23:05] !checkinstall | unitedpotsmokers please the docs we link to you [23:05] unitedpotsmokers please the docs we link to you: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [23:06] Ryan_Leaf: the problem is that swap is also used to hibernate [23:06] can any body tell me how to get back the opened windows bar on the lower part [23:06] hmm understand... [23:06] hi, today I compiled my first test program on linux(ubuntu). The "hello world" taken as example does include the stdio.h(standard library). But... what else library can I include on my programs? [23:06] gearsecond: right click on the panel choose add to panel then add the windows list applet [23:06] LjL: so it should be greater than the ram because the processes running will alwasy be in the ram... [23:06] gearsecond: click a panel (one of the whitish bars, usually) and then go to "Add to Panel" [23:06] lonejack: that's more likely a question for ##c [23:07] crdlb: no nothing [23:07] gearsecond: then select "Window List" [23:07] and add it to that panel [23:07] pronoy: exactly, both are already defined for "use as: swap area"... so no mount point is needed for these right? [23:07] crdlb: how can you tell its crashing [23:07] pronoy: well, if you *really* have something like 32gb of RAM, it'll probably never be all used anyway... [23:07] Does anybody know how to make a package purge and then reinstall? I need to wipe out whatever I did to pulseaudio and reinstall it... [23:07] LjL: I'll go there but I'm quite sure they'll send me here... [23:07] Ljl: That looks like that worked. So what did we do with that command? [23:07] LjL: it's not like Windows, which needs SWAP no matter what, right? [23:07] waldir: correct....swap doesn't require a mount point [23:07] grncdr: use "aptitude purge package" [23:07] pronoy: i mean, personally if i had 32gb of RAM i would use no swap at all. but then i'd also get a visit to the shrink to talk about my fetish for RAM ;P === jfalco_ is now known as jfalco [23:07] LjL: lol [23:08] Ryan_Leaf: windows doesn't need "swap no matter what" any more than linux does [23:08] waldir: swap is not done like the "Page File" in Windows. It's a seperate partition, that is partitioned as SWAP, not EXT3 or ReiserFS [23:08] SeViLLa: because of the backtrace at the bottom of the last file you posted [23:08] dude_sweet: move your custom-compiled version of openvpn out of the way (similar to removing it, but we just moved it instead) [23:08] pronoy: thanks. the guided partitioning was behaving in a quite weird way so I had to use the manual mode [23:08] LjL: but when you say hibernate....an image of the processes being run is stored in the hard drive which must be equal to or less than the RAM size [23:08] hey, how do you make ubuntu refuse all connections that didnt originate from the local network [23:08] LjL: It's quite stupid for Linux to use Swap, unless necessary? [23:08] need help putting music onto an ipod touch , tried everything =( [23:08] waldir: are you using dual boot ? [23:08] SeViLLa: what happens if you 'sudo modprobe radeon'? [23:08] Ryan_Leaf: I see [23:09] pronoy: yes, why? [23:09] pronoy: yes, why? [23:09] pronoy: that's the way it works in Windows (save all the RAM), but i *think* in Linux, at least with the standard suspend feature, only (as you say) the *images of the processes being run* get saved - not *necessarily* the whole RAM [23:09] waldir: you could have used wubi...you know from inside of windows [23:09] Ljl: That is what I figured. Ok...well thank you very much. I appreciate your help. (still learning.......) [23:09] Ryan_Leaf: it's not stupid at all. it's generally quite stupid to NOT use swap. [23:09] crdlb: no output [23:09] LjL: Actually, it doesn't. That's a very wise way to manage memory. In Windows, however, it uses swap when it's completely unnecessary [23:09] LjL: yeah....i guess [23:10] LjL: Which is a lot better for performance [23:10] pronoy: so you *might* get away with having less swapspace than you have RAM... if you have hideously large amounts of RAM... but it's not a good idea in general [23:10] SeViLLa: ok, now 'lsmod | grep radeon' again [23:10] LjL: understood [23:10] pronoy: did you say something? i think the scrollback filled up, perhaps cause I-m using pidgin from the live cd [23:10] Ryan_Leaf: it doesn't what? [23:11] Ryan_Leaf: LjL you can change the tendency of linux to swap things in/out of memory see → /proc/sys/vm/swappiness [23:11] LjL: Linux doesn't use swap unless it runs out of physical memory [23:11] waldir: i was just suggesting using wubi in future to help with dual boot [23:11] Ryan_Leaf: that's completely untrue [23:11] brb [23:11] * erUSUL nods [23:11] Is anyone else having trouble locating the ubuntu-restricted-extras metapackage? [23:11] Ryan_Leaf: and it would also be a very silly way to manage memory, most of the time [23:11] i have a question about a logitech webcam... would i need to install drivers for ubuntu? will it automatically recognize it?, i have little expereience... [23:11] pronoy: wubi... i've heard about that but cant remember for sure what it is [23:11] Ryan_Leaf: you *CAN* set it so that it never swaps (as erUSUL said, just set that to zero), but it's NOT the default, and NOT a good idea [23:12] pronoy: I'm not sure what the current situation is in the windows world, but Back In The Day, windows boxen typically had their network stuff misconfigured to the point where it was 50% of the possible throughput (e.g. 3-4kbps instead of 6-8kbps) [23:12] !webcam | martin__ [23:12] martin__: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:12] crdlb: ok stndr out is radeon 147616 0 [23:12] drm 86056 1 radeon [23:12] waldir: windows ubuntu installer :) from inside of windows [23:12] waldir: assuming you are using windows [23:12] SeViLLa: ok, that looks right, now try restarting X (but without rebooting, so the kernel module stays loaded) [23:12] pronoy: oh yea... how is it better than the live cd?

[23:16] puff: I know I have to use sudo- i it thgen proceeds to explain the syntax of commands to me [23:16] crdlb: ok [23:16] waldir: kde on the other hand is cool with that [23:16] crdlb: brb [23:16] Is there an alternative to the u3 launchpad? Most likely i wanted to have the access to my usb stick password protected [23:16] puff: How do I just login as root, edit the file, and save it? [23:17] I'm getting a lot of silence here. [23:17] Patg7590: Generally speaking, logging in as root is discouraged, and it is recommended to instead use sudo to execute specific commands as root. This is true all over the linux world but especially so in the ubuntu world. [23:17] Pat7590: press Alt+F2, type "gksu gedit", open the file, edit it, and save it [23:17] Patg7590: instead, just do "sudo xorg.conf [23:17] Draconicus: probably you need to enable multiverse [23:18] Draconicus: syustem>admin>software sources [23:18] puff, Ryan_Leaf, LjL, hey i checked hibernate means to make an image of the RAM and suspend it on to the hard disk even on linux [23:18] pronoy: Yes? [23:18] pronoy: I-m not sure what you mean by access my space in a server, I never used more than ftp to access servers [23:18] erUSUL: I've never needed to before. Is this a new development? o.O [23:18] LjL: but 32 gigs of ram !! god damn !! [23:18] Well, I used to need to, forever ago. Back in the days of Dapper and Breezy. [23:18] pronoy: I knew that, I was saying that I had a vague idea (not sure where I got it) that the swap disk was used to store that disk image. [23:18] Draconicus: no; afaik [23:18] waldir: well you'll come across that while accessing one in a uni [23:18] Draconicus: what are you actually looking for? [23:19] pronoy: don't swear please. are you sure? can i have the source? i admit i *was* under the impression that hibernation snapshotting was done on a per-allocated-pages basis [23:19] pronoy: Er, that the swap disk was the place where that RAM image was stored on disk. [23:19] savvas: ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:19] I've set up six Ubuntu machines in the past month and never run into this issue. It's the weirdest thing. [23:19] LjL: sorry for the swearing part :) i'll check the link and give it to you [23:19] pronoy: I think I'll worry about this problem once I find it :) [23:20] post the output of this command at www.pastebin.com : apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:20] crdlb: hey it still says ubuntu is running in low graphics mode [23:20] waldir: take it nice and slow brother....once you'll come on to linux ....you'll love it like hell :) [23:20] pronoy: Language please :-) [23:20] pronoy: btw a totally unrelated question: do you know if it is possible to change the password masking character? [23:20] SeViLLa: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old one more time (note the .old) [23:21] pronoy: I am quite fond of vulgarity myself, but I believe the ubuntu folks want this to be a family-friendly channel. [23:21] pronoy: those huge circles are ugly :( [23:21] waldir: um...no idea sorry man [23:21] puff: my apologies [23:21] savvas: It's not this machine, so that'd be a bit of a bother. This really isn't a big deal, but it's weird. Same 8.10 disc was used to do two other machines, same exact steps (I have a list of steps I do on each job, my own bit of polish). This hasn't come up before. [23:21] pronoy: no prob, I know it's hard to retrain your linguistic habits. [23:21] puff: command text not found: fml [23:21] LjL: turns out there are differnent ways to suspend to disk [23:21] savvas: Nonetheless, I'll go try multiverse. Whatever works, eh? [23:22] waldir: I'm sure it's *possible*, but I don't know how, and it might not be easy. [23:22] pronoy: yes, there's at least the kernel's built-in one, and swsusp2 [23:22] is it possible to run the LAMP if I am running Ubuntu from a flash drive? [23:22] Patg7590: what was the command? [23:22] puff: i already did a quick search but found nothing [23:22] waldir: System>System> Login window [23:22] Draconicus: you can still download the packages using http://packages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-restricted-extras - but whatever works :) [23:22] how do i paste in here withou getting screamed at [23:22] JTCooper: i do not see why not. it would be slow as h*ll but it will run [23:22] .ç [23:22] Patg7590: Use pastebin.com [23:22] !paste | puff [23:22] puff: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:22] carandraug: will look into that :) [23:23] Patg7590: What ubottu said. [23:23] hey guys, i have to go now.. thanks for helping me... love u all... [23:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/139857/ [23:23] crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139856/ [23:23] Patg7590: Do you have another machine to use to get help if your xorg editing fails to work? [23:23] erUSUL do I need to do any configuration of ports or anything to be to access it from another computer, or is it set up by default to listen for outside connections? I just want to try it out before I put together a computer to install on. === gorky is now known as christel [23:24] puff: yes [23:24] is there any fs clean up that shoud be run after deleting a huge dir? huge as in 15G [23:24] carandraug: I don-t see an option there to edit the masking character [23:24] waldir: I checked and it seems you can only have those circles or have nothing at all (as in a terminal) [23:24] yea [23:24] JTCooper: no firewall is enabled by default in ubuntu. if someon (apache) is listening noone will block it [23:24] Welcome Mr. President [23:24] Patg7590: Cool. It's conceivable (dunno enough about your knowledge, your system and your plannes changes to xorg) that you could get your system into a state where it can run Xwindows at all. [23:24] kindofabuzz: no [23:24] waldir: but I though it used to be possible to make them something else. Maybe you need to edit the themes [23:24] k [23:25] carandraug: I think I've already been there earlier today, but I've messed with so many things that i want sure [23:25] waldir: but I don't see any button to do so [23:25] erUSUL is apache installed to listen by default? or do I need to edit the config file? [23:25] SeViLLa: I'm stumped, I suggest you take that log to #radeon and see if they can help [23:25] puff: i just want to fix my display i just got this rig today for free and it wont go past 800x600 [23:25] carandraug: good point, I'll take a look into the themes [23:25] carandraug waldir: you'll need to edit themes to do that [23:25] crdlb: k [23:25] carandraug waldir: but i can't remember where does it mention how to change the masking [23:25] I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good site for image management and scanning for Ubuntu? I was very good in windows but so far my results are poor in a Linux environ. I have googled to my hearts content but there seems to be little out there that is organized about image scanning other than the GIMP which is nothing to do with scanners and scanning. The Xsane page is not much help either. [23:25] JTCooper: well maybe it only listens in lo by default never installed it myself [23:25] !lamp | JTCooper [23:25] JTCooper: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:26] savvas: I would turn to that option now that I found that multiverse was already enabled (which would explain why it's never a problem - enabled by default). [23:26] pronoy: is it safe to mess with these configs while the intaller is running? [23:26] whileimhere: scanning..i think kate is good nuff [23:26] savvas: Could this be a recent repo bug? Have you personally looked for the package? [23:26] Patg7590: If your xorg gets horked, you would have to use the virtual terminal console to edit your xorg.conf. Are you familiar with that? [23:26] ubottu, Thank you, I am aware what LAMP is, I am currently running a Windows Apache MySql PHP setup [23:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:26] waldir: you can't mess with them i guess [23:27] waldir: you'll need to come into the shell to do all that :) [23:27] test [23:27] I have not tried Kate. I have been sticking with GNOME apps up until now. Isnt kate a text editor though? [23:27] puff: no-i fail at ubuntu-im sorry- but im in this room on my mac at "PatrickGleason" [23:27] ubottu: I'm on to you! :O [23:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:27] whileimhere: oh my bad..i meant gwenview [23:27] pronoy: yea I noticed the GUI'd theme editor only allows to customize the colors, window borders, etc === Johnny is now known as GentooJohnny [23:28] pronoy: not finer details such as the masking character for passwords :P === txtest is now known as AirForceTwo [23:28] Patg7590: okay, this is just someting really good to know about for when things go wrong. You can hit ctrl-alt-f1/f2/f3/f4/f5/f6 to get to a plain text terminal and log into your ubuntu box to edit stuf. [23:28] waldir: i think you'll find that stuff in the gconf editor [23:28] puff: all at once? lolz [23:28] pronoy: I've been there but found nothing [23:28] pronoy: I might look again [23:28] carandraug: does gconf-editor hold the masking properties [23:29] Patg7590: no, the / denotes pick-one-of-thse. [23:29] Patg7590: E.g. ctrl-alt-f1 [23:29] puff: oh gawd that was scary- I was almost trapped in there forever [23:29] Patg7590: and to get back to your xwindows screen, ctrl-alt-f7 [23:29] pronoy: I really don't know [23:29] puff: yeah I flailed and got that ;-) [23:29] Patg7590: Of course, this limits you to purely command-line and text-based tools (no point 'n click), bu tit's better than nothing. [23:30] * puff still remembers the time he freaked out his mac-using friend by showing him that. [23:30] puff: so how does that help me fix my display haha [23:30] Okay, so nobody knows about installing ubuntu on a flash drive? [23:30] pronoy: it holds the gtk themes. I think the symbol used would be defined in the theme [23:31] Patg7590: Well, if you break the Xwindows configuraiton, you will have to hit ctrl-alt-f1 and use the command-line tools to fix it. [23:31] carandraug: i don't think the theme editor allows you to define that.... [23:31] Patg7590: What about that paste? [23:31] carandraug, waldir: check on #compiz-fusion....they'll seem to know [23:31] puff: solid- im ready-ill follw you to the end of forver puff [23:31] pronoy: thanks :D [23:31] pronoy: hmmm... maybe Let me look on gconf then. I never really bothered with themes === AntonioRS is now known as ar-tech [23:32] pronoy: i use the default human theme [23:32] savvas: *pokepoke* [23:32] it's fugly [23:32] waldir: haha.....these people want the same http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930397 [23:32] Patg7590: Unfortunately, I have to get this flash drive thing going. [23:32] carandraug: I tried /desktop/gnome/font_rendering but nothing there... and the other entries didnt seem to be related [23:33] puff: ;-( ok... lol [23:33] I started cobbling together a steampunk sorta look & feel on my old ubuntu install. [23:33] pronoy: I've been there :D [23:33] Patg7590: Okay, so pastebin the command and the error you got. [23:33] Patg7590: (e.g. go to pastebin.com, paste into the form, upload it, get the URL and paste just the pastebin URL here). [23:34] hey, something really weird happens in my ubuntu [23:34] I installed argus [23:34] you know what's missing...... a live cd creator...once you get the packages on your machine you should be able to turn them into a live cd [23:34] How can I find out my boxes IP via Command-Line [23:34] ? [23:34] the binary is in /usr/sbin [23:34] Please [23:34] Kindly [23:34] Alex_21: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:34] it is a symbolic link === Castawayz is now known as VioletsPie [23:34] pronoy: windows should have one of those live cds too! [23:34] but it can't be run [23:34] puff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139857/ [23:35] waldir: why ...you don't need packages on windows...i was talking about the basic libraries [23:35] any help please ? [23:35] Alex_21: 1) IRC people like fewer, longer lines of text. [23:35] I know that [23:36] pronoy: I hate doing a windows install, and then installing all the software I use regularly [23:36] Screen Reader Users on IRC do not [23:36] cubas: if its a symbolic link it means an independent directory is being added [23:36] Okay, savvas seems to have imploded. I need somebody to check for a repo bug before I treat it as such... [23:36] How can I find out my boxes IP via Command-Line [23:36] Alex_21: 2) ifconfig [23:36] waldir: well its 3rd party software and heavy at that so creating a live hard disk would be the option on widnows [23:37] pronoy: hahahahha [23:37] cubas: its like if i installed jdk in my /usr/local i create a link in my /home to make it independent [23:37] puff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139857/ [23:37] pronoy, it points to argus_linux file/directory [23:37] pronoy: any idea of another channel where people may know the answer to the pw masking char question? [23:37] waldir: that's probably doable. I've been thinking somebody should take infra recorder and make a self-burning ISO. [23:38] but neither locate nor find can find it [23:38] puff: I tried clonezilla for a windows partition I-ve kept untouched since I installed it, but it didnt work :( [23:38] Well, maybe not all Screen Reader users, but me anyways [23:38] Patg7590: Have you used the textedit command before? [23:38] puff: looks like a software job for #ubuntu-brainstorm [23:38] Lol, I'll concider sighted users a little [23:38] I'm not a newbie, I'm on slackware 2 years already....but this is really mysterious thing for me [23:39] puff: no :/ i am a super n00b at command line [23:39] i dont really know the syntax...like at all [23:39] Alex_21: I sympathize, I'm not too hung up on it, but that appears to be the irc/ubuntu channel custom, so, when in Rome. [23:39] waldir: I went through all the gconf-editor entries that looked related and couldn't find anything either [23:39] cubas: its pointing to that link right ? [23:39] pronoy, on slackware you may usually run symlinks [23:39] Patg7590: Maybe you should use gkedit instead. [23:39] puff: not with a partition image at least. it worked when i tried to copy directly to another partition, instead of saving the original partition as an image before [23:39] and the system takes care of it [23:39] Sorry [23:39] puff: but that has little interest to me [23:39] Lol [23:39] Thank you for your help [23:40] Good day [23:40] Alex_21: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:40] puff: how do I use gkedit? [23:40] waldir: you may want to look at at GTK channel [23:40] Patg7590: erUSUL told you quite a while ago: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf & [23:40] waldir: or the appearances are usually handled by the gods in #compiz-fusion [23:40] pronos, yes .... argus -> argus_linux ...on slackware there would be full path [23:41] I updated db, but I really can't find this file [23:41] Linux contains SCO's UNIX System V source code and Linux is an unauthorized derivative of UNIX [23:41] pronoy, carandraug: already getting some answers at #compiz-fusion :) [23:41] pronoy: i tried to reinstall again with the cd and no luck, just a black screen now [23:41] mib_ak4tq1: what ? [23:41] Folks, I have windows vista on my drive atm, and I would like to shove it on one part of my hard disk and install Ubuntu on the other, any idea how I can do that? [23:41] can i just get all the backtrack 3 apps in kubuntu? or is there a repo for all the backtrack 3 apps? [23:42] mib_ak4tq1: how ? tell me the steps that you undertook.... [23:42] puff: ok restarting now-I dont know how I missed that [23:42] pronoy, I think that this is firstime I see a symbolic link pointing to nowhere [23:43] cubas: i don't think that file's not there .. do ls -l [23:43] Pronoy: well now when it starts it goes from peach screen to black [23:43] pronoy: i just followed the installation steps on the CD [23:43] pronoy, in entire FS, only one thing with name "*argus_linux*" is man page [23:43] puff: the 800*600 settings killed it :-[ running in low graphics mode [23:44] mib_ak4tq1: ok what do you mean by peach screen ?? [23:44] PatrickGleason: A well, restore from backup. [23:44] cubas: i had the same trouble with crossover but it turned out it was there... [23:44] cubas: cd from terminal using root previliges [23:44] pronoy: well after looking at screencaps it looks like the screen you would see when ubuntu is running without problems only there is no files/applications its just peach with the mouse visible [23:45] puff: what is the command to reboot? I hate holding the power button down whenver i dead-end-(which is often) [23:45] mib_ak4tq1: oh you meant the desktop....ok with the mouse as an x ? [23:45] pronoy: installation complete! I'll restart now, see you in a minute or 2 [23:45] "sudo restart" or "sudo shutdown -h now" [23:45] pronoy, it really isn't... I'm root, in /usr/sbin, listing as much as I can, searching locating..but no success [23:45] if i was to run update-manager -d, is there an quick way to downgrade to stable packages if one changes their mind? [23:45] pronoy: the mouse isnt even an x its just the regular pointer [23:46] cubas: where did you find the link ? cd to that directory.....and then ls -l [23:46] pronto: to get to that screen i have to run recovery mode and than resume normal boot [23:46] mib_ak4tq1: this is strange... [23:46] puff: sudo: restart: command not found [23:46] mib_ak4tq1: what parameters for the file system did you use ? [23:47] pronoy: i completely erased the computers and the windows that was on it, it was corrupted could that be the problem? [23:47] pronoy, this is evidently a buggy installation...I'm on linux 3 years [23:47] PatrickGleason: sorry, "sudo reboot" [23:47] PatrickGleason: Blah, I'm tired. [23:48] mib_ak4tq1: did you format the whole system ? although i don't know how that would affect at all [23:48] cubas: possible [23:48] puff:yeah sorry- [23:48] pronoy: yes i formatted the whole system its really weird, i used the CD i got mailed for 8.10 [23:48] mib_ak4tq1: gimme ur system specs [23:49] mib_ak4tq1: and the partitions you made [23:49] pronoy, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=argus+argus_linux+ubuntu&btnG=Search [23:49] aha :) [23:49] error parsing something something [23:49] cubas: its an argus problem ??? [23:50] this is so incredibly not my day [23:50] did anyone here have a problem when they installed a nVidia graphics card, Ubuntu froze while it was booting? [23:50] cubas: why didn't i think of that....of course !! [23:50] pronoy, it looks it is, but if there is a symlink pointing to nowhere...it's a problem of both [23:51] cubas: i think its argus alone...take a look at the older package [23:51] Any way I can completely reset my network settings back to that of a default install? [23:51] PatrickGleason: Well, pastebin it and see if somebody here understands it. [23:52] I've really f***'d up my network settings can now can't connect at all to hte network [23:52] PatrickGleason: I'll be honest with you, I found dealing with xorg.conf to be painfully difficult. Ubuntu usually gets it right, so I would be surprised if you can get better than what ubuntu delivered. [23:52] ckwalsh: Hrm, apt-get reinstall --purge? [23:53] puff: im trying to restore my effed xorg.conf file from the backed up one on the desktop but permission is denied [23:53] Has the fglrx (ati) issue been resolved in Jaunty yet? [23:53] But what package to re-install? [23:53] And would that work when I don't have a network connection? [23:53] scream: i guess its more of an ati problem than a distro problem [23:54] Yes, I mean to say, has it been resolved upstream yet. :) [23:54] can I use a remote terminal to start a GUI program on the local machine ? [23:54] pronoy, but this is a really interesting paradigm, think of how this might happen...I don't know :) [23:54] Hi, I'm running 8.10 on my laptop. I want to switch my output from my laptop screen to an external monitor. How do I do that? [23:54] PatrickGleason: How are you trying to restore it? [23:55] PatrickGleason: That is, what command are you using, "cp"? [23:55] hi i'm new and i'm having a sound issue, i have a usb headset, if i go to system-preferences-sound and selected it and press test i can hear a test tone, otherwise i never hear any sound [23:55] puff: im dragging and dropping [23:55] scream: uh you might wanna switch over to AIGLX if you aren't onto it yet [23:55] PatrickGleason: "sudo cp xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf" [23:55] puff: is there a way to authorize so i can just drag and drop? [23:55] eTranquility_: I suspect it depends on the laptop. [23:56] eTranquility_: I know that with my thinkpad, it was hardware related. [23:56] pronoy, I'm using the open source driver if that is what you mean.. I don't think I know aboit "AIGLX" [23:56] Patg7590: Idaknow... maybe with gksudo, but I don't really mess with that. [23:56] puff, It's a Toshiba Satellite. I just have no idea what to do. [23:56] eTranquilty: i did that- and now the laptop resolution looks horrid- i think the virtual resolution is messed-ive no idea how to fix it [23:56] scream: that is the open source driver [23:56] The longer I live, the more I am of the opinion that it is best to stick to good old fashioned 'Tower' based PC's ! [23:56] Patg7590: gksudo is like sudo only for gnome applications. [23:57] scream: i guess thats any day better than the fglrx [23:57] ah i see. the prop driver worked better, so I'm hoping ati fixes... or maybe releases the source sometime :) [23:57] Any ideas? [23:57] This is just temporary for a couple hours... I hope it's worth messing with. [23:58] puff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/139873/ [23:58] puff, is there an application for this? [23:58] ckwalsh: Probably (though I haven't verified this): sudo apt-get reinstall --purge netbase [23:59] massif [23:59] eTranquility_: I have only messed with this sort of thing a little bit, on my thinkpad, and it turned out that it was defined by hardware details. If I plugged a video cable into the video out before booting, it just booted up with the video out working and hte laptop screen blank.
