[00:00] but i can get mdadm to work on the entire drive [00:00] nicholashubbard: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Iproute2 [00:00] illmortal: then grub is not on that disk [00:00] atmosx: thanks [00:00] hey where can i get a desktop like this one http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1892/skrmbildh.png [00:00] Adil: what command are you using [00:00] artzymama: ouch. file bug? my 965's being stupid too, but its at least getting the right resolution before locking up :P [00:00] anyone know of an easy to use macro making programme for recording mouse and keyboard movements? [00:00] nicholashubbard: and this one (it's on the page I gave you) http://lartc.org/howto/ [00:00] maco: gnome-look.org [00:01] maco: sorry [00:01] I get some xorg errors (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/158182/) is this normal? [00:01] matrix_: gnome-look.org [00:01] maco, at least I can deal with 1024, but it's just not to my best liking [00:01] haha [00:01] kfizz, back to the "Pidgin 2.5.5 has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file." [00:01] sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 [00:01] Adil: please show me the output of ls -al /dev/sda1 and then sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda in a pastebin plase. [00:02] brasero makes nautilus segfault. How can I fix it? [00:02] kesiode: in synaptic, when you quick search for libpurple what all is selected? [00:02] Adil: would that mdadm let me have a 32-bit ubuntu on one drive and a 64-bit on another... and yet share one mirrored /home? [00:02] apart of uninstalling brasero [00:02] cousteau: there is a bug logged for it, it is to do with a library not having the correct permissions [00:02] ok I need solution to flash jerky video full screen [00:02] i do not follow danag [00:03] ikonia: what library and what permissions should it have? [00:03] I have an acer aspire laptop with Ubuntu 8.04 and I can't get the sound card to function. Anyone have any ideas? [00:03] via chorme k8m800 [00:03] What's up guys? [00:03] I get some xorg errors (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/158182/) is this normal? [00:03] How do I get flash working in Firefox [00:03] cousteau: When you say it makes it segfault, you mean if Brasero is opened while Nautilus is open or if Nautilus opens while Brasero is running: [00:03] cousteau: search for the bug it has details, I can't remember the deails off the top of my head [00:03] cousteau, gnomebaker is a good alternative [00:03] /usr/lib/libbrasero-media.so.0 I guess [00:03] * DanaG asks the whole channel: Would that mdadm let me have a 32-bit ubuntu on one drive and a 64-bit on another... and yet have both share one mirrored /home? [00:03] via chrome k8m800 via driver video full screen [00:03] Cousteau: Have you checked your error logs? [00:04] kfizz, just removed it again but with it uninstalled I see: libpurple0 with a grey box and then a bunch of white boxes which I think means it isn't installed [00:04] ikonia ls -al /dev/sda1 gives no such file or directory [00:04] Aha [00:04] DanaG: as long as you don't have executables on /home, I don't see why you couldn't do that. [00:04] russianzilla: nautilus uses brasero for something; when I run "gdb --args nautilus", it segfaults with a message about a brasero lib [00:04] DanaG: i think you can do that [00:04] Solved my problem myself. Thanks, though ^^ [00:04] Adil: there you go then - thats why you can't "open" it [00:04] Cool. [00:04] kesiode: mark libpurple0 and libpurple-bin for installation, install them, then install pidgin once more [00:04] ikonia so what do i have to do? [00:05] If I were to take one drive and boot it without the other... how would it reconcile changes to one member of the mirror? I'd be fine with having it ask me to decide which version to keep. [00:05] Adil: find out where there is no 1 partition, show me the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [00:05] cousteau: Short of reinstalling the package, I have no idea then. [00:05] DanaG: but you do realize that those versions are incompatable right? i mean i dont think 64bit will even install on a 32 bit system and vice versa for the 64 bit [00:05] yowshi: 32-bit runs on 64-bit CPUs, but not vice versa. [00:05] yowshi 32 bit can be installed on a 64bit system [00:05] 64-bit host can run 32-bit OS. [00:05] tyeah. === Antigone is now known as JessyBlue [00:06] kfizz, still crashes. What's weird is it is still logging me in automatically so some configuration file is being stored somewhere through the reinstallations [00:06] cousteau: All I know is that trivial things can cause segfaults. Yesterday sudo started segfaulting because apparently my icon theme got corrupted or something. [00:06] DanaG: what precisely are you contemplating? now you're confusing me. you'd need physically separate 32- and 64-bit installations. shared /home partition is ok. [00:06] ikonia i pasted it to you privately [00:06] hi. fixed most of my touchpad issues (by touching xorg.conf), although there is one that is still bothering me [00:06] anyone know of an easy to use macro making programme for recording mouse and keyboard movements? [00:06] kesiode: give me a second to look up something p [00:06] up* [00:06] yowshi: easy to use - no. i know about xmacro2 [00:06] Adil: I ssee it, you have no partitions on that disk [00:06] or what the precise key for enter is for xmacro? [00:06] russianzilla: I installed jaunty on another HD and I fixed the problem by removing brasero [00:06] on the "vertical scroll zone" of my touchpad, a double tap will act as a click on middle button [00:07] but there must be another way to fix it [00:07] i have sda1 and sda2? [00:07] cousteau: I've told you the problem [00:07] cousteau: That works. Personally I use Nero Linux instead, Brasero always gives me write errors. [00:07] are there some major issues using jaunty? [00:07] Adil: you don't have any partitions on that disk [00:07] hello all === OO11 is now known as sejo [00:07] ola [00:07] can anyone side bar with me on recovering files? [00:07] russianzilla: I used the one integrated on Nautilus (gnome-baker?) [00:07] someone here help me a output device [00:08] my sound is messed up [00:08] does anyone knows what will this do ? -- xrandr --output VGA-0 --off [00:08] ikonia i am new to this.. and confused. So what are sda1 and sda2? [00:08] frequently I've tested it but no sound came out [00:08] Adil: partitions [00:08] kfizz, sorry I crashed [00:08] if it switches my tft off ill have no image [00:08] kesiode: no problem, one second [00:08] and they show up in sda [00:08] dreamy: where did you get that from? [00:08] so what do you mean when you say that disk has no partitions? [00:08] Amarok 2 wont play MP3s, when you start a playlist it will instantly scan through them and mark as played, MP3s work in other applications [00:08] Adil: no - they are sda1 and sda2, sda is the disk [00:09] Greetings, I am running 9.04 in 64-bit. Sometimes Flash work, sometimes not. Why is this? [00:09] Adil: the physical disk has no partitions that can be seen [00:09] Gnea: instructions on how to play videos on a tv .. using the svideo out [00:09] i see [00:09] !flash [00:09] 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 [00:09] miik: differnt sites? same site different videos? or what exactly. [00:09] what i did was to use fdisk /dev/sda [00:09] and create two primary partitions.. and then assign id fd to both [00:09] i did that incorrectly? [00:09] Dr_Willis, happens on many sites, then i close firefox, start it again, and it works [00:09] anyone running pSX under 9.04 successfully (without using sudo)? [00:09] Gnea: ive acoplished image on my tv .. but 800x600 [00:09] kesiode: are you attempting to run pidgin by clicking on it, or opening a terminal and typing in "pidgin" [00:10] Adil: looks like you forgot to write the changes, or reload the disk toc (reboot is easiest) after you made the changes [00:10] kfizz, both [00:10] miik: that is odd.. Ive not had any flash issues here at all on 64bit install. but i just tried a few videos [00:10] !64-bit [00:10] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [00:10] wait [00:10] kesiode: and when you run in terminal is when you get the seg fault? [00:10] miik: installed flash via the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package. [00:10] dreamy: well, that command would indeed shut the image off at your TFT [00:10] kfizz, yes [00:10] let me repaste this.. i think something got lost when i pasted it earlier [00:11] Gnea: ok thats what i was worried about [00:11] kesiode: type gdb -v in a terminal and tell me if you see "GNU gdb....." [00:11] i just pasted it to myself ikonia [00:11] Gnea: i think rebooting whouldnt even help ? [00:11] you did not see the whole thing [00:11] dreamy: you could always just up-arrow, backspace twice, type 'n' and then enter to turn it back on [00:11] Gnea: i be in trouble .. ?

Either the sound is broken, or I have suddenly gone deaf. [00:12] kfizz, GNU gdb 6.8p-debian [00:12] matrix_: we are not googling for you - he may have made it himself, [00:12] try again ikonia [00:12] dreamy: I'm just saying, you could do that to turn the TFT back on without rebooting...

You can try to change the Sound Properites. That works sometimes. [00:13] Hey you guys, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 just a second ago and it won't accept the password I set. What can I do to fix that? [00:13] matrix_: then stop asking and start using it [00:13] miik: have you tried any other players besides totem? like mplayer, xine or vlc? [00:13] my computer generate malfunction [00:13] ikonia: ohh yes iam doing that sir [00:13] kesiode: can you paste the output so far to http://paste.ubuntu.com [00:13] speaker won't work [00:13] properly [00:13] russianzilla, yes, sound worked fine for me in Intrepid. I've fiddled with the Sound Properties but haven't had any luck yet. I was wondering if maybe this was a widespread known issue or something. [00:13] Hi, is it normal that my HD doesn't respect what I set with hdparm? [00:14] Hello. [00:14] Fitzhume: Are you using ALSA or OSS? [00:14] kfizz, http://pastebin.com/m61c41732 [00:14] Gnea, no, i like totem [00:14] should i wait a couple of minutes to someone replys back? [00:14] Fitzhume: Or something else entirely?

[00:14] Linuz2009: someone will respond if they know the answer [00:14] Gnea, also flash dont always work in firefox [00:14] ultimatelifeform: boot into recovery mode, drop to root prompt, then " passwd USERNAME " [00:14] and I haven't installed/reinstalled/updated anything [00:14] ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/158187/ [00:14] miik: well, sometimes totem isn't the best application for the job, that's why there are alternatives in order to solve the problem. [00:14] w3wsrmn: How from the alternate CD? [00:15] ehy!!! can anyone help me? [00:15] miik: someone else was having a problem with flash not working either.... [00:15] russianzilla, I'm using whatever ubuntu automatically selected when I booted the live cd. Looks like ALSA.

[00:15] Adil: ok - so udev has not created a device node for it yet then, I can talk you through resetting udev to make a device, but a reboot is quicker/easier/straight forward if you're new to this [00:15] ultimatelifeform: no need for the CD, select recovery mode from the boot menu [00:15] SG|Smaakage: ubuntu 9.04 comes with screen... [00:15] I need help with MPX (The Multi-Pointer X server) [00:15] Fitzhume, can you try OSS instead? That did it for me once.

[00:17] matrix_: themes are on gnome-look.org [00:17] matrix_: and you'll probably find themes for that as well [00:17] miik: have you checked the ubuntu bug reporter to see if anyone else has posted a fix? [00:17] I get some xorg errors (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/158182/) is this normal?

[00:19] matrix_: then don't use them, and use google as you said you where doing to find more [00:19] kesiode: have you tried uninstalling pidgin completely, then restarting then reinstalling? I know this isn't usually required in ubuntu, but you should try it if you haven't already [00:19] Linuz2009: Try switching it to OSS and clicking Test [00:19] Dr_Willis, I want to do a Xubuntu usb instllation [00:19] alright [00:19] Linuz2009: what is your native language? [00:19] is 9.04 stable? [00:19] anyone have a good alternative to xmacro? [00:19] Sibert: yes [00:19] kfizz, ok I will try it. [00:19] maco: isn't -Y less secure?

[00:19] hey... I realize this is more kubuntu specific, but has anyone here tried the kde plasma applet for NetworkManager? specifically trying to change dhcp config to static. [00:19] (and yes, I already asked in #kubuntu) [00:19] kesiode: if that fails then completely removing libpurple (as long as you don't have other programs that depend on it) and reinstalling that might help...a config file there might also be the cuplrit perhaps [00:19] I have a Radeon HD2600 card and I can't get visual effects to work. I have 9.04 [00:20] okn: it wont be bootable.. You can use the 'unetbootin' tool to make a bootable live-cd-thumbdrive if you want.

[00:21] hey, audacious is doesn't play mp3 [00:21] restrictions ?

[00:22] ultimatelifeform: I know how to login thanks [00:22] does anyone know in which .deb i can find xf86Version.h ? in order to compile wacom driver [00:22] ? [00:23] thanks ikonia it worked [00:23] miik: well, the best place to search would be at http://bugs.launchpad.net and you could also try http://ubuntuforums.org as well, as both of those sites compliment this official IRC channel. [00:23] Adil: cool [00:23] ikonia: Dude, you just told me I can't log in as root and I'm correcting you.

[00:24] which messenger can make calls with msn windows users? [00:24] I am trying to install the new release under vmware workstation 6.5. I was previously using 8.1 and it worked fine, however the new installer freezes at the "Partition disks" screen. I am using the server iso, and specified the minimal installation for virtual machines. [00:24] ikonia: You said I couldn't login as root from GDM and I'm telling you I can login as root from terminal 1 === desti_T2 is now known as desti [00:24] ultimatelifeform: so ? thats not wrong, logging in at a terminal is fine [00:25] ikonia: that's what I'm saying. [00:25] ultimatelifeform: a bit ago you told me you can't login to root at all. which is it? :p [00:25] hi [00:25] ultimatelifeform: so what's the problem then ? [00:25] 1. I can't log in at all. [00:25] I just installed the 64 bit version of 9.04 on my AMD64 laptop. I have an ATI HD2600 video card, and I can't get the visual effects to work. What do I need to do? [00:25] 2. I can't log in as root from GDM in no situation. [00:25] Direct Logging in as root from the terminal is disabled due to root having no password. and GDM config file also has a setting that disables root logging in to X. even if root did have a password. [00:25] ultimatelifeform: you just said you could login from a terminal [00:25] anyone know a mouse macro script thats easier to use then xmacro? i am trying to bot up some stuff on a webpage [00:25] 3. But if I could, I could get in through a terminal [00:26] i recently upgraded to 9.04 and now my xserver crashes at startup of kde..how do i debug? [00:26] the ubuntu 'defaults' are this way.. its changeable of course. [00:26] dmbfan: are you able to get to a commandline prompt? [00:26] my motd file isn't showing up when i log into my server, any reasons why?

[00:26] brodoser: not in the profile - put it in [00:26] Gnea: yeah and its being generated from motd.tail === cybersplice__ is now known as cybersplice [00:27] brodoser: if the user has a '.hushlogin' file the MOTD wont get displayed either. :) [00:27] w3wsrmn: the only problem with that is that I've tried that already. Debian did this too, which is weird.. [00:27] ikonia: what do i put in my profile? [00:27] is it working?

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [00:29] ultimatelifeform: sounds like the keymap used during install when you type your pass is different from the one used post-install when logging in. how to fix, i've no idea :< [00:29] puggg: sudo apt-get update [00:29] brodoser: also check /etc/pam.d/login and make sure that it's calling motd correctly [00:29] I like to update using the CL [00:29] oops [00:29] puggg, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:29] puggg: I suggest you have a look at ubuntu.com to get an idea on the basics [00:29] puggg: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:29] is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade the whole distro to a new version? [00:29] puggg: - check ubuntu.com for the support introduction [00:29] LinuxIdiot: there should also been some sort of icon at the top right - mentioning drivers.

[00:30] anyone gotten Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 working with 9.04? [00:30] it worked just fine in 8.10 [00:30] I know, I'm kinda weird like that [00:30] puggg: upgrade upgrades non-critical package, dist-upgrade also does the critical [00:30] it uses the iwlagn module, but network manager is not able to pick up on it [00:30] just to share with you guys when you have trouble deleting stuff from your drive and cant recover diskspace try bleachbit [00:30] how do i create an Auto reply message for pidgin?

[00:31] ok thanks much [00:31] puggg: it probes each repo to see what they have and what versions [00:31] well i used to have a problem with my harddisk due to my virtualdisks [00:31] maelaian: in theory - yes. [00:31] Salajadin: perhaps it should be? [00:31] maelaian, not if you have installed other stuff no [00:31] maelaian: updates what you have to the 9.04 setup [00:31] maelaian: yeah [00:31] I'm running 9.0.4 via VMware fusion on the Mac. I have a new Apple mini keyboard without the numpad. Anyone know how I can map the delete key to backspace in Ubuntu. Its driving me nuts. [00:32] and i tried all stuffs in the repos but nothing worked [00:32] So its not like an MS os upgrade. [00:32] maelaian: keeping your configs If it can. and your home.. but some times updgrades dont work :( [00:32] ehy..i'm having some problems in using the ubuntu's network manager since this morning..i've installed pppoeconf cause my provider's router needs always an authentication to get me joined..does anyone help me??? [00:32] then i stumbled unto bleachbit and saved my harddisk [00:32] i recently upgraded to 9.04 and now my xserver crashes at startup of kde..how do i debug? [00:32] without reformating [00:32] Dr_Willis, as I mentioned its a fresh install. [00:32] maelaian, a bit different :) [00:32] kfizz, deleting the .purple directory seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for your help. [00:32] dmbfan: read the xorg logs, check the FAQ's [00:32] Is pulseaudio the recommended sound server for latest ubuntu? [00:32] dmbfan: try renaming ~/.kde [00:33] I can't get the 9.04 installer to work under vmware, the 8.04 installer works fine. [00:33] Oh! i should have thought about that, haha. guess i was thinking too hard [00:33] but now i guess computer janitor can do that but haven't tried [00:33] anyone have any ideas? [00:33] maelaian: try it and see then i guess. may be just as fast to get the new release/iso and do a clean install. [00:33] kesiode: ^ [00:33] mattwj2002, about what [00:33] Dr_Willis: Install of 9.04 is broke :( [00:33] kfizz, ?? [00:33] maelaian: may be FASTER to get the cd and do a clean intall.. since you can dowload the cd from torrents.. and not deal with the slow upgrade servers. [00:33] kesiode: Oh! i should have thought about that, haha. guess i was thinking too hard, glad you got it working [00:33] maelaian: try alterntiove cd installer yet? [00:33] what is the command to close down a locked up program? [00:33] nice, there's a 9.04 version of bleachbit already... wonder why it's not official? [00:33] Dr_Willis: I need the server CD. [00:34] when I connect to my machine using vnc it appears the keymap is wrong....when I log in normally it works fine [00:34] LinuxIdiot: killall -9 nameofprogram [00:34] !logs [00:34] i recently upgraded to 9.04 and now my xserver crashes at startup of kde..how do i debug? [00:34] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [00:34] maelaian, a clean install is much faster unless you have a vanilla install of the earlier version [00:34] maelaian, referring to jaunty of course [00:34] zzz [00:34] bazhang: The 9.04 installer is broke. [00:34] ehy..i'm having some problems in using the ubuntu's network manager since this morning..i've installed pppoeconf cause my provider's router needs always an authentication to get me joined..can anyone help me??? [00:34] maelaian, what is it doing wrong, please specify [00:35] I just used the 9.04 installer, works fine [00:35] LinuxIdiot: xkill if you want to point and click and if it is an graphic program [00:35] out of curiosity, what version of ubuntu is everyone using? [00:35] bazhang: I meant on my computer. It "freezes" at partition disks. [00:35] !pppoe | Guest98606 [00:35] Guest98606: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [00:35] maelaian, via command line over internet or the cd fresh install [00:35] anyone have a clue what might cause that? [00:35] thanks [00:35] ok, I've finally upgraded, and I've found some weird crap happening. For one thing, it seemingly randomly uninstalled my LXDE environment and XScreenSaver, claiming they were obsolete, like my old kernel images. I've also found that tor doesn't seem to have a package anymore, and that Compiz with my NVIDIA 8600GT 512MB and v180 prop. drivers has all sorts of weird effects, such as not being able to maximize. Any ideas on what I can do t [00:35] LinuxIdiot: whats locked? if its that driver-updateer program.. it can be VERY slow - due to the servers load being high === BromaxSux1 is now known as BromaxSux [00:35] bazhang: If your referring to the medium, I downloaded the server 64bit release. [00:35] I'm trying to move & replace a folder with icons that are meant to replace a protected area. What is the command for this? [00:36] maelaian, sounds like a corrupt iso, or a bad burn [00:36] maelaian, check the md5sum and burn slowly, then do the disk integrity check [00:36] bazhang: Possible, but I doubt it. I can check the MD5. [00:36] NOD62: protected area? if its system directories you mean. you will need to use 'sudo' to have root permissions to do such tasks. [00:37] ok I downloaded the ATI driver, it's a .bin file... How do I install it? [00:37] maelaian, almost all the time its a bad burn or corrupt iso. the installer itself works very well, unless you need some special bootoptions due to your hardware [00:37] Hi is there any way to replace packages from a former ppa with their original versions? [00:37] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I've tried sudo mv path of folder to path of destination. [00:37] maelaian, /msg ubottu bootoptions for more info [00:37] bazhang: Like I mentioned the 8.10 does work fine. [00:37] Surlent777: don't know about the removal of obsolete packages... usually it asks during the upgrade phase and gives the option, so if you said 'remove', well then... as for the graphics issue, have you tried creating a new user and seeing if the problem exists with the new account? [00:37] hi all [00:37] why isn't the muh package in ubuntu's repositories? [00:38] Dr_Willis: However, it sais it's not able to do that because the destination folder is not empty, i don't care, i want it to do this regardless because it's meant to replace those icons. [00:38] NOD62: you proberly want cp , not mv [00:38] alright i upgraded to ubuntu 9.04, Now my screen is windowd and my sound dosent work, i cant fix it in screen resoultion ;( anyone know what to do? [00:38] maelaian, as does jaunty, done several here on a variety of hardware, with several methods [00:38] Dr_Willis: Okay, I will try that one sec. [00:38] NOD62: mv proberly does NOT do what you think it does. :) [00:38] grrr enter return KP_Entyer xmacro doesnt seem to recognize any of them [00:38] i've just installed jauntu and i'm having problem with my intel graphic card.. I enabled cmpiz manually but it still freezes [00:38] Gnea: Yeah, that one was probably my fault, and no, I didn't think to try that. I'll detach screen/irssi here and try that and report back [00:39] r_s___: there's a known problem with intel graphics and jaunty [00:39] is anybody else having problems with sound in flash ( konqueror / firefox ) ? [00:39] Surlent777: okay [00:39] Gena : wht's the solution ? [00:39] bazhang: MD5 and CD look fine [00:39] im about to upgrade to 9.04 and use ext4, has there been any issues i should be aware of? [00:39] Does anybody run VLC here on ubuntu? What is your version? How can i upgrade 0.8.6 to newer? Thanks. [00:39] maelaian, then check the bootoptions info [00:40] hi people [00:40] hi [00:40] ubunter [00:40] ultras, which version of ubuntu you on [00:40] bazhang: Whats that? And why would 8.10 work? [00:40] bazhang: 8.04 [00:40] ultimatelifeform: I downloaded that ATI driver, but I haven't a clue how/where to install it to get it to work. [00:40] 8.04 [00:40] pirate [00:40] Gnea : wht's the solution for Intel graphics [00:40] r_s___: not sure, but this seems to offer an attempt: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [00:40] ?

[00:41] I don't understand the purpose of this new applet, the indicator applet. Is it possible to minimize evolution to it? [00:41] * mib_1v1134 is a pirate [00:41] * mib_1v1134 yarrs [00:41] i hope to be able to resolve the problem..i'm switching to ubuntu now and i'm going to try.. [00:42] ultras, not sure if backports will get a newer version, its at 0.9.9 in jaunty however [00:42] Hello, anyone know why I cannot see my whole screen I am missing roughly 5% of the screen all the way around, they menu bas are off the screen === Froad is now known as Froad|Away [00:42] bazhang: What am I looking for particularly if it freezes at the partitioner? === mib_1v1134 is now known as x41_root [00:42] bazhang: thanks man, i will figure something out. [00:42] LinuxIdiot: oh. [00:42] PleaseHelp: Are you using compiz? [00:42] maelaian, is this a dual boot situation, or only ubuntu [00:43] bazhang: only ubuntu [00:43] cornith, I havent done that yet, fresh install, just enabled the nvidia driver [00:43] r_s___: well, if you follow the bug report links from there, you can see what the current status of it is and maybe find a fix for your situation [00:43] maelaian, again not sure of your exact hardware situation, you may need to try several (best to check the link I gave you) [00:43] im about to upgrade to 9.04 and use ext4, has there been any issues i should be aware of? [00:44] abstortedminds, sure, some have experienced data loss === Nick is now known as Guest56181 [00:44] yikes [00:44] abstortedminds: if you don't have an nvidia graphics card, you may run into some graphics-related issues... [00:44] abstortedminds: all sorts of issues.. and some people with no issues... [00:44] i have nvidia [00:44] alright i upgraded to ubuntu 9.04, Now my screen is windowd and my sound dosent work, i cant fix it in screen resoultion ;( anyone know what to do? [00:44] One more question how problematic is upgrade to Jaunty. I remember when i did upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, i had to reinstall whole system. Is the upgrade to Jaunty OK or it has BUMPS? [00:44] abstortedminds, be sure to back up of course :) [00:44] bazhang: And the result of an upgrade of a fresh install of 8.10 should be the same as an install of 9.04 from cd? I think I'll try my luck with that. [00:44] then you won't have a problem there [00:44] ok, if it fails ill just do clean install i guess [00:44] maelaian, yep [00:44] alright i upgraded to ubuntu 9.04, Now my screen is windowd and my sound dosent work, i cant fix it in screen resoultion ;( anyone know what to do? [00:45] ultras: i just did it today, works just fine [00:45] ive been here for hours with no answer [00:45] bazhang: Thanks for the tips. [00:45] ultras: just make sure you have all of the regular updates installed before pressing that 'upgrade' button :) [00:45] is there a downgrade option [00:45] ultras, using the alternate cd or via the internet directly (ie update-manager -d)? [00:45] * Dr_Willis rembers why he always does clean installs. [00:45] Brando753, nope [00:45] Brando753: nope [00:45] Brando753: boot to recovery mode and recover x server, or run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:45] Gnea: thanks, is there anything i should disable before upgrade? Like compiz etc .... [00:46] ultras: also mind this: it was originally a 7.10 install that, in the past week, was upgraded to 8.04, then to 8.10, and finally to 9.04. It was originally a 7.04 installation. [00:46] ultras, all 3rd party repos will be disabled automatically === noor is now known as NoOrdinaryRabbit [00:46] Gnea: i am on 8.04, should i do it straight to 9.04? [00:46] what should i do about my graphics, and sound?? === NoOrdinaryRabbit is now known as LudditeRabbit [00:46] i have a windowes screen [00:46] ultras: nah, should be fine, but if you do have any issues after the reboot, you might want to try making a new account and see if things break there or not... sometimes leftover settings from previous versions in the home directory don't mesh well with the new versions [00:46] ultras, cant do it that way [00:47] windowed [00:47] Gnea: The test user's compiz....behaves exactly as it should, from preliminary testing [00:47] ultras, need to go via 8.10 first [00:47] ultras: no, you have to go to 8.10, reboot into 8.10, install all the updates, then go to 9.04 [00:47] I installed Jaunty from 8.10...now sound doesn't work. Advice? [00:47] Brando753: if you run: sudo lshw -C sound which will tell you what your sound card is, you can websearch from there [00:47] Gnea: should i use CD or there is an upgrade option to 8.10? [00:47] Surlent777: okay, then some setting from your previous installation in your home directory (probably in a dot-file or dot-directory) is causing interference with the new version [00:48] ultras: the upgrade option from 8.10 exists [00:48] Gnea: So I figure =/ Any suggestions? [00:48] but it workes via jacks just not my speakers [00:48] ultras: just make sure you have your software sources set correctly [00:48] and what about my graphics [00:48] guys I have an ati 4650 crossfire setup, is there anyway of installing ubuntu without going into a nightmare of xorg.conf to get driver installed? everytime I install ubuntu / install fglrx & reboot I just get a terminal screen, happened in each release so far... apart from that, great job in building this OS :) [00:48] Gnea: Software sources correctly? What does that mean? [00:49] Gnea: you mean in synaptic? [00:49] ultras, all 3rd party repos will be disabled automatically. [00:49] Surlent777: from what I can tell, everything for compiz is set in ~/.gconf, so you could try mv'ing that out of the way and login again and see if that fixes it [00:49] Brando753: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:49] I downloaded an ATI video driver, a .bin file, and I have no idea how or where to install it to get my video card 3d enabled. [00:49] ultras, when going from 8.10 to jaunty. [00:49] Brando753: then reboot === captain_ is now known as PleaseHelp [00:50] Brando753: you can then esatblish your gfx from there [00:50] LinuxIdiot: try sudo sh whatever.bin --buildpkg Ubuntu/jaunty [00:50] ultras: yes, or in System->Administration->Software Sources [00:50] !upgrade | ultras [00:50] ultras: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:50] Gnea: Wouldn't that mess up other things as well, such as making update-manager jump up in my face again, etc.? [00:50] ultras: check the upgrade notes, it illustrates better [00:50] I have problems with sound on 9.04, VLC, Kaffeine and Flash doesnt give sound properly, but Amarok2 is OK. [00:50] Dr_Willis: Nah, cp didn't work. === Nick is now known as Guest41377 [00:50] Surlent777: yes, itwould. [00:50] Surlent777: not at all, they're all personalised settings... if you want to get nitty-gritty, just ~/.gconf/apps/compiz/ should do it [00:51] Gnea: bazhang: Thanks a lot! I am sure there is good documentation online about upgrade, i will read up. Thanks again. [00:51] Gnea: that's more like it. Thank you. [00:51] If you don't care about saving compiz settings, gconf-tool --recursive-unset /apps/compiz [00:51] er [00:51] gconftool-2 [00:51] DanaG: ok, I'll use that as a last resort. Thank you. [00:51] Hello, how do I find out what disk resembles what hard drive number ex. hd 0,0? [00:51] Hey, DanaG do you know your ubuntu terminal commands? [00:52] bacon1989: the partition number minux one will give the second number [00:52] Surlent777: I usually just wipe the ~/.gconf out and start fresh if things are all screwy from a distribution upgrade, makes for less hassle [00:52] yes, I know that [00:52] Gnea: I intend to one day do a clean install as soon as I find some backup material [00:52] but i want to know what hd resembles which? [00:52] bacon1989: i use trial and error personally [00:52] Surlent777: sounds good :) [00:52] does it depend on it's bootorder in the bios? [00:53] bacon1989: /dev/sdXY -> X is a letter, Y is a number (X corresponds to drive, Y partition), convert X to a number (a=1, b = 2,etc) and then subtract one from each. [00:53] hmm ok [00:53] ok, all the scrolling text is distracting me, so I'll be back in a bit with results [00:53] bacon1989: No, but it may be slightly different if you're mixing SATA and PATA drives. Your BIOS will do all of one type, then all of the other type. [00:53] hmm..who do i contact here for help guys? [00:53] Anyone here know the terminal commands, well? [00:53] Flannel: so boot order in the bios does not have any effect on it's numbering? [00:54] tetris4: just ask here and anyone that knows will try to help [00:54] I installed 9.04 UNR in a new Asus 1000HE; now I don't seem to be able to connect to any secured wireless networks.

[00:57] I thought rootnoverify (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 would do the trick [00:57] So, I seem to have broken my python install on Ubuntu 8.10...I get an ".../math.so: undefined symbol: PyFPE_jbuf" error when trying to run update-manager [00:58] What would I do to fix it? [00:58] I run compiz [00:58] Can i downgrade to ubuntu 8.10 again? [00:58] can somebody tell me what the advantages of ext4 are exactly? [00:58] Metacity is a window manager and decorator. Compiz is just a manager, with several choices of decorator. [00:58] is there anythign else I should be aware of about a windows partition? [00:58] lol, this channel is damn busy! [00:58] so google for gnome-window-decorator scroll shade [00:58] oh it was busier earlier [00:58] Ill try that, thanks [00:58] XD [00:58] there were 5000+ people [00:58] Can i downgrade to ubuntu 8.10 again? [00:58] I'd like to buy a netbook but I want it to be compatible with Ubuntu,any recommendations? [00:58] rocky_, http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page [00:59] I saw the number and I was like, screw it [00:59] Can i downgrade to ubuntu 8.10 again? [00:59] Gnea: So what if I'm trying to move a folder with contents to another folder to replace? [00:59] Can't you downgrade by just doing a format and install? [00:59] or do you want to save your data? [01:00] I won't to save all my data. [01:00] ubuntu still using the broken GNU tar program [01:00] SG|Smaakage: What's wrong with 9.04? [01:00] I like it :) [01:00] (my first ubuntu) [01:00] My control panel dosen't work with alle the new things [01:00] I like it too, a lot faster. ^^ [01:00] dooner: any idea when the defrag utility will be released? [01:01] I can't start any of my Counter-Strike Source servers. [01:01] :/ [01:01] could anyone here help me get audio running on my ubuntu-server box? nobody is responding in that channel [01:01] rocky_, nope :( I wondering the same thing. [01:01] dooner: same here. [01:01] Needs kernel patches, too. [01:01] dooner: well, I doubt that it will become too fragmented in the next couple of weeks before its release [01:02] I installed 9.04 UNR in a new Asus 1000HE; now I don't seem to be able to connect to any secured wireless networks. I followed the instructions here (http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1110957&page=2) to use an older version of the driver, but no change. Any ideas? [01:02] errrrgh I just want to get this video driver installed...I can't for the life of me figure out this terminal [01:02] DanaG: I thought that they had already implemented some patches to the linux kernel used by ubuntu [01:02] Hello, I am having a problem where about 5% of my desktop all around is outside of my viewable screen area, here is a pic of what I am kinda talking about the white are is what I can see http://mglassco.googlepages.com/Screenshot.jpg [01:02] LinuxIdiot: take the time - learn the terminal.. its our friend. [01:02] lol [01:02] apt-get ftw [01:02] IS there installed a new version of screen in the new ubuntu 9.04 [01:03] I just want to install a video driver... a .run file, it's on my desktop [01:03] LinuxIdiot: so you DID try the driver from the reposiutories? [01:03] I'm not even sure anymore what I have and haven't done [01:03] I don't understand the packages either [01:03] lol [01:03] LinuxIdiot: I hate it when that happens [01:03] Dr_Willis: Hey, I tried the cp command, it did not replace the folder I attempted to replace. [01:04] LinuxIdiot: path to desktop will be /home/username/Desktop , you most likely will need to run that command as root from the 'console' --> sudo sh /home/username/Desktop/filename.run [01:04] !find libdb-4.1.so intrepid [01:04] Package/file libdb-4.1.so does not exist in intrepid [01:04] ok lemme try that [01:04] which flash plugin should I use for firefox? "swfdec,", "adobe," or "gnash" [01:04] NOD62: you did it wrong then I imagine. You could delete the other directory first then copy i guess.. [01:04] Dr_Willis: zack@Ethergy:~$ sudo cp '/home/zack/Desktop/pidgin-buuf-v1/status' /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/ [01:04] cp: omitting directory `/home/zack/Desktop/pidgin-buuf-v1/status' [01:04] ok I used the wubi installer to install ubuntu. Can I access my windows drive without hurting anything? [01:04] LinuxIdiot: but the PROPER way to get the driver going would be to use the package manger versions [01:05] NOD62: use the -R option for recursive copies. [01:05] I'm all for the easiest way to do this... [01:05] epicreviews: yes [01:05] hi... i'm building a new kernel.. if i accidently build a broken one, can i still run my server kernel and restore my generic one back to the Ubuntu original? [01:05] ok makin sure because it asks for password [01:05] NOD62: or cheat and install 'mc' and use 'sudo mc' then use that tool as a root type file manager. :) [01:05] epicreviews: just stay out of /windows unless you need to fix something [01:05] meoblast001: You'd likely have your generic ubuntu one still installed, you just choose that one at GRUB. [01:05] good afternoon all. I just updated my daughter's computer to 9.04 (she is 3 btw) and now I am trying to get decent resolution from her monitor; a 21" flat panel connected to an Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] onboard video card. The best I can get is 1024x768. Any help would be appreciated. [01:05] installed emerald - now everything looks like osx :( [01:06] any in here there know the control panel called GameCP? [01:06] fuck mac osw [01:06] x [01:06] how else can I get the ATI driver if I'm too retarded to get it figured out on the terminal? [01:06] bbranigin: so? :) [01:06] pirate: Please mind your language. [01:06] hehe [01:06] more expenssive [01:06] so does anybody have any idea which flash plugin I should use? [01:06] !find libdb4.1 intrepid [01:06] Package/file libdb4.1 does not exist in intrepid [01:06] !find libdb-4.1.so intrepid [01:06] LinuxIdiot: figure otu the package name you need to get ' sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME' [01:06] Package/file libdb-4.1.so does not exist in intrepid [01:06] Can i downgrade to ubuntu 8.10 again? [01:06] rocky: use the restricted adobe one [01:06] Flannel: ok.... what if they both have the same name? [01:06] guess I gotta figure out the package... [01:06] rocky_: i use the one the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' metapackage installs. [01:06] Can someone help? I'm trying to burn Ubuntu 9.04 with gnomebaker (i'm running as sudo) and I get this error: http://pastebin.com/ma5f858f [01:07] Hey, could someone tell me how to add a second Ubuntu partition to my /etc/fstab? It's ext3 [01:07] meoblast001: Change the name? [01:07] LinuxIdiot: yep. thats what the !ati url/wiki page often mentions. I dont use ati. so no idea what it may be [01:07] meoblast001: But yeah, you can choose which kernel to boot at GRUB, so if you have another kernel, you can pick that. [01:07] Flannel: in the end i plan to rename it to linux-image-2.6.28-11-pae but for now i'd just like to test that it works [01:07] I know the basics are "/dev/sda6 /mnt/jaunty ext3" but wondering if I need anything else on the line [01:07] Can i downgrade to ubuntu 8.10 again? [01:07] LinuxIdiot: you did run 'gksu jockey-gtk' and tried the hardware-manager tool? [01:07] LinuxIdiot: why the self critical name? [01:07] Any one know were i should place the channels.conf for totem ? [01:08] because I've been using Linux for an hour...ever [01:08] and it's pretty daunting :) [01:08] I tried copying the contents of my xubuntu desktop cd and i get the error cannot create symbolic link. Here is my bash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/158208/ [01:08] is there any way to boot my windows partition located at hd0,1? it seems to think it's not available [01:08] LinuxIdiot: 'crawl, walk, run' read read read.. :) [01:08] bacon1989: What partition does linux think its on? [01:08] LinuxIdiot: then why not LinuxN00b? (I am joking) [01:08] bacon1989: (sudo fdisk -l) [01:08] Before upgrading to Jaunty, my default torrent application was Azureus. Now it's switched over to KTorrent, and I can't figure out where to change it? [01:08] idk, it was too long ago [01:08] rocky_: that was taken :) [01:08] oh [01:08] sda2 === JulianC93 is now known as JC|sick [01:09] Can I still just manually edit xorg.conf? Does gdm even use that file? [01:09] Dr_Willis: orly nao [01:09] jpedroza: - X uses it.. gdm runs on top of X.. so.. sort of. :) [01:09] Dr_Willis: no it wasn't! === rocky_ is now known as linuxn00b [01:09] rocky_: quick! get it! :) [01:09] oops [01:09] it was registered [01:09] Dr_Willis: So if I edit it it should take the resolutions I set for the display and make them available to gdm? [01:10] now I can't change it XD [01:10] halp! [01:10] Flannel: I tried rootnoverify(hd0,1) \n makeactive \n chainloader +1 === colin__ is now known as crgodsey [01:10] jpedroza: yes.. GDM uses X.. so it should [01:10] there we go [01:10] :) [01:10] Flannel: PAE is turned on with that switch in arch/X86/Kconfig right? [01:10] this should've worked, correct? [01:10] bacon1989: What sort of harddrives do you have in this? [01:10] meoblast001: Sounds about right. [01:10] didn't want to be glined for imitation O_o [01:10] I have like 3 hds [01:10] Flannel: ok [01:10] 2 are SATA [01:11] bacon1989: Try hd1,1 then. [01:11] hi ppls [01:11] bacon1989: or hd2,1 [01:11] Having trouble with compiz and gnome (just upgraded to 9.04). I can't switch workspaces correctly. When I use the compiz hotkey to switch, the Workspace Switcher panel doesn't recognize it. When I switch using the Workspace Switcher panel, it doesn't use the compiz plugin. [01:11] Flannel: i want to release a PAE kernel deb for people who want PAE but don't want their nVidia drivers choking [01:11] think I did, but i'll give it another shot [01:11] * KiRiLoS Helloz [01:11] I cannot copy a file to my usb I keep on getting the error: Failed to create symbolic link "/media/disk/dists/stable" (Operation not permitted). How do I fix this? I even tried using it as root. [01:11] bacon1989: watch out - all of them can appear as sd## - and ive seen some cases where my sata+IDE system had drives 'change order' depending on how i booted. [01:11] i just upgraded to 9.04 and my wireless 3G internet has stopped working - has this been documented? [01:11] !keymap [01:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about keymap [01:11] :( [01:12] !seen it [01:12] I have no seen command [01:12] okn: its a fat fillesystem? you cant make links on that type of filesystem. [01:12] how do I give my ubuntu part more space it installed with like nothing [01:12] Hello, I am having a problem where about 5% of my desktop all around is outside of my viewable screen area, any ideas? [01:12] Dr_Willis, But how am i supposed to make a xubuntu usb installation? The ubuntu help guide didn't explain this [01:13] can any one help me recover files? [01:13] okn: you dont put links on vfat filesytems.. it would have to be a ext2/3 filesystem [01:13] PleaseHelp, system -> preferences -> display [01:13] Dr_Willis, Ubuntu help said to copy all the files from my image to usb so I'm guessing i'm not suppose to copy those? [01:13] if i'm using standard ubuntu jaunty, am i going to be using metacity or gtk themes? [01:14] Both [01:14] at the same time? [01:14] okn: no idea. ive never done it that way. I dont recall any 'links' on the iso filesytem either.. it dont think it can support them [01:14] metacity for windows borders, gtk for other stuff [01:14] yeah how do i set up some themes [01:14] ah interesting! [01:14] Irob_Chef it prompts me to the Nvidia settings, which I have been all through trying to correct [01:14] Dr_Willis, ok thanks [01:14] okn, get unetbootin === zach is now known as Guest72196 [01:14] okn: there is that pendrive linux site also. [01:14] DL the xubuntu iso [01:14] use unetbootin to make the USB [01:15] melik, unetbootin doesn't work on debian for some reason [01:15] okn: thers also the ubuntu-netbook remix usb img file. [01:15] usb-creator [01:15] okn: grab a windows machine.. use unetbootin from that. :) [01:15] you can use usb-creator from a livecd on a different computer. [01:15] Just have to have the ISO on hand. [01:15] Dr_Willis, my windows machine has no internet :) [01:16] How do I download ati drivers manually with jaunty? i found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto, but it didnt work... [01:16] DanaG, I have no image cds === eugen is now known as Guest41338 [01:16] okn: you just need the unetbootin binary and the iso file on the windows machine.. put thiose on a thumbdrive. [01:16] hello all. im using nfs to mount a folder from my server to my local computer(both on same lan). both users the the systems have the same uid.....i can create folders from cli....but when browsing the share with nautilus i cannot create new files/folders [01:16] Or usb-creator and the iso. [01:16] i love the netbook remix :D [01:16] !usb-creator [01:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb-creator [01:16] anyway thanks for help everyone [01:16] okn: or get the netbook remix img file and dd it to a thumbdrive.. done.. [01:16] :) [01:16] ok thanks [01:17] How can I restart ALSA without rebooting my machine? I just made some config changes to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and I want to test them out. [01:17] Flannel: when I use (hd,0,1) it sits at "Starting Up ..." [01:17] every other partition shows nothing [01:17] bacon1989: it would be (hd0,1) i think [01:17] yes [01:17] but it sits there [01:17] bacon1989: That means you've passed the thing on to Widnows, and windows is freaking out about something. [01:17] hmm.. [01:17] wonder how i'd go about fixing it [01:17] lol [01:18] how do i increase my partition hd size [01:18] bacon1989: You may have to map your partitions/drives, or fiddle with boot.ini (fiddling won't likely be required, mapping is better) [01:18] it installed with like nothing [01:18] madbuntu: gparted can resize [01:18] How do I download ati drivers manually with jaunty? i found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto, but it didnt work [01:18] how do I map? [01:18] well I think getting this driver installed is beyond my computer skills, especially in Linux. I am reading how to's and none of it even makes any sense, so I guess I just won't have 3d. [01:18] well I left out that I installed windows with a different HD boot order [01:18] LinuxIdiot: on a clean install.. one normally runs that system -> admin -> hardware drivers tool.. and let IT download/install the drivers. [01:18] all right, novice question here: when I launch a program from terminal, the program starts but then the terminal cant be used for anything else [01:18] bacon1989: map (hd0) (hd1)\n map (hd1) (hd0) will swap hd1 and hd0 for the OS it boots, etc. [01:19] LinuxIdiot: takes me all of 3 min to get my hardware drivers going with that tool on a new install. [01:19] ok [01:19] how can I get back to the normal terminal after launching an app inside it [01:19] i've already tried something like that [01:19] what if the hardware drivers returns no driver information ? [01:19] but I have ATI and a 64 bit install [01:19] bbranigin, control + c? [01:19] Guest72196: then you hit the forums [01:19] I think I might just reinstall windows on the machine [01:19] LinuxIdiot: so? [01:19] thanks :P [01:19] ahh [01:19] anyone know anything about keymaps? [01:19] and then restore grub [01:19] then after the forums ? [01:19] hello everyone.... I am trying to install 9.04 and right now i have a screen that says "[ xxx.xxxxxx] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [modprobe:633]" and every now and then it adds another line that says the same thing.... [01:19] that worked but it killed the child process [01:19] !find libdb-4.1.so hardy [01:20] !keymaps [01:20] is there a way to keep the process going? [01:20] LinuxIdiot: you are saying you ran that tool and it dident show any drivers? [01:20] ideas? [01:20] !keymap [01:20] Package/file libdb-4.1.so does not exist in hardy [01:20] !find libdb-4.1.so gutsy [01:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about keymaps [01:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about keymap [01:20] mine too [01:20] Package/file libdb-4.1.so does not exist in gutsy [01:20] !find libdb-4.1.so edgy [01:20] edgy is not a valid distribution ['dapper', 'gutsy', 'gutsy-backports', 'hardy', 'hardy-backports', 'intrepid', 'intrepid-backports', 'jaunty', 'jaunty-backports', 'kde4-ppa', 'kde4-ppa-intrepid', 'kubuntu-experimental', 'kubuntu-members-kde4', 'medibuntu', 'partner'] [01:20] where the heck DOES that file exist? [01:20] anyone know a mouse macro script thats easier to use then xmacro? i am trying to bot up some stuff on a webpage [01:20] edgy is not valid? [01:20] !find libdb-4.1.so dapper [01:20] I have one that shows up for ATI, but it apparently isn't working [01:20] Package/file libdb-4.1.so does not exist in dapper [01:20] edgy is past its end of life? [01:20] oh.................kay? [01:20] Where do I find libdb-4.1.so? [01:21] Dr_Willis, yep [01:21] ok, im not in the EXACT same boat as linuxidiot, but i feel the same :( [01:21] !find libdb [01:21] The danged Xilinx tools need it. [01:21] Found: libdb-dev, libdb4.2, libdb4.2++-dev, libdb4.2++c2, libdb4.2-dev (and 117 others) [01:21] says the driver is currently in use but not active [01:21] I see 4.2... but they want 4.1. [01:21] DanaG: use source I guess. [01:21] errr active but not currently in use I mean === zerofool2006 is now known as zerofool2005 [01:21] Can't find source for 4.1. [01:21] LinuxIdiot: sounds liek it may be installed? [01:21] perhaps I'll replace their "xilperl" with just plain old perl. [01:22] LinuxIdiot: or other things you did confused things.. or its some quirky ATI driver/card issue. [01:22] Hi, is somebody use songbird with an iphone? [01:22] if it's installed then why isn't the visual effects working? [01:22] ATI drivers are often.. a pain [01:22] nvidia is a pain in ass [01:22] so much problems [01:22] LinuxIdiot: you did enable them in the (desktop) -> change wallpaper -> effects tab? [01:23] LinuxIdiot: i normally DISABLE all the effects :) [01:23] I like ATI's installer better than nvidia's installer... [01:23] upgrading kernels breaks nv, but not ATI (for same major version, that is). [01:23] ATI uses dkms. [01:23] ATI also builds DEBS.... instead of TRAMPLING on stuff. [01:24] i rarely have issues with nvidia drivers.. but i do have a older nvidia card. [01:24] 8800gtsXXX :) [01:24] umm, does anybody know of a good place to go for ati help ? [01:24] i cant even keep up wth ati version #'s card #'s [01:24] 9600 ati to be precise [01:24] 9600 is open-source-only now. [01:24] 9600 - thats an older ati cardisent it? i think i even had one a fewyears back.. [01:25] or was that the 8600 :) [01:25] Can someone please assist me uninstalling Grub or simply recovering my Windows Boot manager? [01:25] dont go knocking me being stingy already :) [01:25] Doc, I go to enable desktop effects or whatever it's called and it says they can't be enabled [01:25] illmortal: boot windows cd to recovery mode use proper command to restore the MBR. depending onthe windows you got. [01:25] 9600 is open source ? where can i find and install it ? [01:25] there's a ppa with newer ATI drivers. [01:25] Dr_Willis, Windows 7 [01:26] LinuxIdiot: sucks eh. proberly need to figure out that driver.. [01:26] newer ATI OSS, that is. [01:26] Flannel: I think I have a good idea. i'm gonna go into winxp recovery console and do a fixboot [01:26] joy :P [01:26] https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa [01:26] illmortal: no idea on widnows 7 - MS changes the commands every release it seems.. ask in #windows [01:26] do you think this will reestablish the boot sector? [01:26] I finally figured out that my experimental compiz plugins DO NOT WANT TO WORK with this newest Compiz--namely CubeAtlantis2, FreelyTransformableWindows, and possibly Snow as well. I had FTW enabled, and that was causing my freaky issues [01:26] whats that dana ? [01:26] illmortal: google for "reinstall vista mbr" [01:26] and apply to win7. [01:26] fdisk \mbr fixboot, fixmbr, then some OTHER commands for vista... [01:27] Ya trying that right now, DanaG [01:27] tried those Dr_Willis [01:27] Does Jaunty have a way that a new user doesn't have to drop to command line to allow their user access to a new share they created using samba? [01:28] Dr_Willis, if I uninstall Ubuntu, will it uninstall Grub as well? [01:28] centaur5: You may want to clarify that a bit. it sounded.. recursive :) [01:28] illmortal: No. [01:28] nice. [01:28] Live CDs should come with the option to uninstall Grub ;) [01:28] illmortal: if you install windows.. it installs over grub wthout even asking.. so to each their own [01:29] illmortal: there are ways to backup.restore grub.. i just dont rcall if ubuntu does it.. or not [01:29] or backup/restore the windows mbr. [01:29] Linux may be really challenging thus far, but I hate Vista so much I'm going to keep trying to figure it out :P [01:29] anyone know a mouse macro script thats easier to use then xmacro? i am trying to bot up some stuff on a webpage [01:29] illmortal: It's actuall really easy to make GRUB work with Windows, at least from my XP and Vista experiences [01:29] hm... maybe I should do that actually... just re-install Windows 7 <,<; [01:29] LinuxIdiot: you will not regret it =P [01:29] LinuxIdiot: you spent all day worrying about eyecandy. :) go learn about somthing usefull... [01:29] actually* [01:29] After somebody creates a share in Jaunty by right clicking on a folder they still can't access it til they do smbpasswd -a in a terminal. Does Jaunty have a better way to allow the user access to the samba server? [01:29] has anyone had the problem with Jaunty (fresh install) where OSS sound works, but ALSA and PulseAudio do not? [01:30] well if my 3d isn't enabled that is a pretty major issue I think [01:30] Surlent777 that's sort of a problem, I attempted to boot Ubuntu 9.04 and for some reason it stays in script mode, can't get X to start. [01:30] centaur5: you mean they cant access their own share? [01:30] LinuxIdiot: what card is it that you have? [01:30] and for some reason 9.04 download was a server edition o.O; [01:30] Can someone help? I'm trying to burn Ubuntu 9.04 with gnomebaker (i'm running as sudo) and I get this error: http://pastebin.com/ma5f858f [01:30] illmortal: maybe get the desktop version instead? [01:30] centaur5: youi mean from a DIFFEENT machine they cant access that newly made share? [01:30] I have a blank CD in already [01:30] hrm is compiz-themes.org down? [01:30] illmortal: That would likely fix a whole lot [01:30] whats the best way to get files from a partition you can't boot into anymore [01:30] ya gonna have to recheck what exactly was it that I downloaded, Surlent777 [01:30] can someone help? [01:31] Hey [01:31] I want to set system manager to start up as +del [01:31] DaveCo1: don't ask if you can ask a question, just ask and people will read. if they can help you they will. That is why they are here [01:31] but it doesn't work [01:31] whats your question DaveCol [01:31] Does anyone know what app i could use in order to record my desktop ? i'm under xfce [01:31] centaur5: so its either make a password , or enable guest access it seems? [01:31] Dr_Willis: Well to access the very first share created it requires that you add the user to samba and give them a samba password. smbpasswd -a seems a little hard for new people. :) [01:31] reid: ok sorry, me being noobish again [01:31] i did "sudo apt-get install kde" which added 600+mb... im wanting to remove all those how do i do that? [01:31] what a pain in the heineken [01:32] Dr_Willis: Okay, guest access is the easiest way then? [01:32] Ok. Before upgrading to Jaunty from Intrepid, I was getting disk latency from Ext3. It was most noticeable in FireFox, especially when a Flash video was playing. Now, with Ext4 on my / partition, and Ext3 on /home, the latency is tremendously disruptive, sometimes hanging FireFox for 20-30 seconds. How do I fix this? Should I upgrade /home to Ext4? [01:32] whats the best way to get files from a partition you can't boot into anymore [01:32] this is the official ubuntu download, right> http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/, and this one doesnt work for me ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img [01:32] fwaokda_: Next time try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. That'll make KDE work a lot better...as for uninstalling it, does anyone remember how to get ubottu's list of all that? [01:32] centaur5: no idea. i rarely use that 'idiot friendly method' i tend to isntall samba, and set up a homes share. and smbpasswd -a for the users i want to let in. ;) [01:32] Hello every body ! [01:33] FrozenFire: how much ram do you have? [01:33] Ah theres another question I wanted to ask -- I updated to jaunty and now flash randomly stops working in firefox, I started firefox from terminal and when it happened no errors were listed in console [01:33] DaveCo1: Unless you actually have a netbook, nix that one and try the proper Desktop Edition [01:33] DaveCo1: what do you mean, it doesn't work? [01:33] Surlent777, oh ok well i'll try that... but i gotta figure out how to remove all the packages and stuff it installed first :( [01:33] danbhfive: 4GB, 3.1 of it in the VM, with 7GB of swap, at 60 vm.swappiness [01:33] joshjtl: hey folks where can i get an older ubuntu kernell?

I got terminal to start with but not sys man [01:33] fwaokda_: There IS a list that the ubottu here used to have, but I don't know his command syntax [01:34] Hey you guys, aren't you supposed to welcome me ? [01:34] Dr_Willis: Right, as do I. Perhaps I'll put in the brainstorm they should add a check mark for samba shares in the user administration. [01:34] Hi Yassinel, whats up? [01:34] DaveCo1: sorry, I can't much help then; I don't know much about that version [01:34] Humanity to Yassine1 ! [01:34] centaur5: i dont even see the 'share folder' thing working here at all.

[01:34] Yo, anyone know where to get some nice qt3 engines and themes? It has to be bare qt3, not kde3. [01:34] Surlent777, I was gonna do "sudo apt-get remove kde" but that said it was gonna remove only like 40kb.. would that really remove it all? I dont know what the ubbott list is... [01:34] Ahh, Welcome [01:34] centaur5: it says its doing it.. but i dont even have samba installed so i dont see how it can be working [01:34] fwaokda_: ubottu is the channel IRC bot and he knows a lot of crap [01:35] !kde [01:35] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

I suspect its not a filesystem latency issue. but Im just guessing [01:35] Surlent777, like that? [01:35] ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img [01:35] fwaokda_: ...yeah. I just can't remember the uninstalling part of KDE [01:35] but I've seen it in action before [01:35] danbhfive: I'm positive it's a filesystem latency issue.

[01:50] WIGGMPk: yes udev auto detects devices [01:50] WIGGMPk: on my laptop, yes. [01:50] WIGGMPk: it doesn't automatically detect the drive already?

[02:03] Hi, could anyone who runs postfix please check which user has to own /etc/postfix and the files in it? Because I got it from a backup but the owner is messed up [02:03] You may not have used the Trash altogether, so the folder will not exist [02:03] Crayboff: then I don't know.

Under Sys > Admin [02:06] sprockets2000: Intrepid has a USB Startup Disk Creator, in System > Administration [02:06] I can confirm that on Jaunty, using the TorOnDebian page and geting their Intrepid repos, tor can in fact be used just as it was before [02:06] sprockets2000: Launch it from the Live CD [02:07] danbhfive: I don't have that in my menu - what's the package name?

[02:09] Oooh, that's embarrassing. VM disk image grew while I wasn't looking, filled up the partition ;) Never mind [02:09] livingdaylight: If you want a backup file when using mv, use "cp filename filename.backup" or something similar before [02:09] danbhfive: Looks good so far. Hopefully downgrading and installing the array.org eeepc packages will fix my wireless issues. Windows is NOT an option. heh [02:09] Looce, so, maybe i used the command because i have original still on Desktop as well as in /usr/share/sounds [02:09] Svish|eee: I think it should still be 255. a 255 mask turns it to a 0 [02:09] is it possible to use keyTouch with laptop computers?

[02:46] b4sher, var="foo"; function t(){ echo $var; } [02:46] epicreviews: It's a window manager and window decorator, like Metacity [02:46] epicreviews: be sure you got the proper 3d video card drivers going. . enable compiz. tweak it as you want. [02:47] ok I have the control panel [02:47] just upgraded to 9.04 on desktop and wish to repeat on laptop; are the necessary files still on desktop somewhere, or must upgrade be repeated by download? [02:47] b4sher, never call functions 'test'. 'test' is already a bash builtin [02:47] so how do I do like the desktop cube? [02:47] ltgg: The files may be in /var/cache/apt [02:47] Anyone that could recommend a good startup guide for a ubuntu newbie ?:) [02:47] Dr_Willis: permissions are "drwxrwxr-x 10 mat mat 4096 2009-04-23 17:42 Data" [02:47] epicreviews: you have compiz load the desktop cube plugin [02:47] ubottu, obrigado era isso que estava querendo saber. [02:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:47] everyone: please stop apt-getting stuff on 9.04 so I can apt-get source the packages I need :-) [02:47] hi, iv'e started an upgrade, but is there any way to watch progress from a ssh session? [02:47] MaT-dg, what is your error? [02:47] MaT-dg: so cd to 'Data' and see if you can 'touch testfile' [02:47] Looce: thanks, will look there. [02:48] epicreviews: to start compiz manually (to see if it works with your setup) use 'compiz --replace' and 'ccsm' is the complex configuration manager [02:48] unop, don't work. this is my script: #!/bin/bash VAR="sadsad" function test() { echo $VAR } test (im calling test but i don't view in the terminal "asdasd" [02:48] otherwise in GNOME the GL Desktop app in the menu [02:48] sevlarasec: ubottu no es una persona [ubottu is not a person] [02:48] b4sher, i told you not to name your function 'test' .... [02:49] I've been unable to watch videos on vlc, mplayer, or any other player after upgrading to Jaunty. I keep getting "badalloc(): insufficient resources for operation" errors. [02:49] can anybody tell me what a clean install of 9.04 uses as far as disk space? [02:49] for desktop? [02:49] secret9011: but no other out of memory errors in any other applications? check /proc/meminfo to make sure all your ram is detected [02:50] xfurious: afaik, no other applications are affected [02:50] RoC_MasterMind: About 2.8 GB [02:50] Question, what is the ACTUAL minimum requirement for installing Ubuntu 9.04? We're talking size in megabytes, please. [02:50] unop, this is the error: syxtax error near unexpected token 'echo' 'echo $VAR' [02:50] I mean, hard drive requirement. [02:50] H_M-Ubuntu: of hard drive space? Looce just answered: 2.8gb [02:50] then again, I did install some packages afterwards, so it may be a bit lower (?) [02:50] Hello, people - anyone got time, I got what looks like a HDD/GRUB problem needing help [02:50] Wow I didn't even see that. [02:50] xfurious: what do I do with /proc/meminfo? [02:51] So it can't install on a 2GB flash drive I assume? [02:51] H_M-Ubuntu: salright its a frantic channel [02:51] b4sher, can you first correct this problem .. then we shall deal with your errors [02:51] secret9011: look at it, its an information file [02:51] unop, whats the problem? [02:51] I could probably de-bloatify it a little [02:51] secret9011: it should tell you how much ram you have (there are easier ways but eh) [02:51] Then it'll work. [02:51] unop, i paste the code [02:51] Dr_Willis: wait, noticed there are some folders with the emblem of a lock on it [02:51] when i click shut down my dell isnpiron beeps and instantly shuts off.... what could be wrong? [02:51] thanks Looce [02:51] b4sher, a function named 'test' .. which conflicts with the bash builtin with the same name. [02:51] H_M-Ubuntu: USB installations might not have a package cache right after install [02:51] xfurious: looks like it's detected 1017392 total kB [02:51] hi, iv'e started an upgrade, but is there any way to watch progress from a ssh session? [02:52] manpoole: nothing could be wrong my machine does that as well [02:52] Looce, meaning? === amseidler is now known as Amseidler [02:52] Hi [02:52] secret9011: ok definitely not your ram detection [02:52] instant shut down? [02:52] Dr_Willis: So my problem is giving write permissions for my user to al folders on that data partition [02:52] less than a second? [02:52] xfurious: when I try to play a video with vlc, it just closes [02:52] i need some help with gnome xchat [02:52] xfurious: same thing when trying with mplayer [02:52] manpoole: open a prompt and run 'reboot > ~/rebootlog.txt' [02:52] H_M-Ubuntu: Meaning that my 2.8 GB would not all go onto your USB flash drive, there's a folder containing files downloaded by the Upgrade Manager and things like that [02:52] manpoole: what you want your system to hang on a shutdown for a few seconds or something? [02:53] is there a way to run many apt-get source commands in parallel? [02:53] well just want it to shutdown properly [02:53] they seem to all get locked up or something [02:53] Tried searching around for my issue, but nothing I could understand came up - installed Ubuntu from live CD, and just get GRUB hard disk error whenever I try to boot; also from the Live CD menu [02:53] and not cause errors to my hd [02:53] manpoole: if the machine does not do a fsck on boot then it's shutting down fine [02:53] xfurious: the problem that caused the program to end seems to be "BadAlloc: insufficient resources for operation" [02:53] ah [02:53] i changed the color settings on gnome xchat and now the program won't launch [02:53] do you have a dell [02:53] suggestions [02:53] manpoole: yeah, kitche is right -- plus bad shutdowns dont cause as much trouble in linux as in windows [02:54] lowlycoder: for packagename in libc-dev libstdc++-dev [...]; do apt-get source $packagename & done [02:54] manpoole: I do but I had an hp before and it does teh same thing [02:54] Computer_Man: find your xchat configs and delete them [02:54] sorry, dumb question, I just installed drupal6 through aptitude. What is the address beyond localhost to get started with configuration? Do I need to make a link or change my settings.php file? [02:54] the & will background the process, meaning they can all run in parallel [02:54] where would you look [02:54] manpoole, which inspiron model ? [02:54] Computer_Man: lol bummer! try moving the config file (im gonna guess its ~/.xchat2 or soemthing) [02:54] sorry new to linux [02:54] Computer_Man: ~/.xchat2 [02:55] Computer_Man: there is a hidden directory called .xchat2 under your hope folder [02:55] Anyone that could recommend a good startup guide for a ubuntu newbie ?:) [02:55] veggteppe: there is a free (in PDF form) Ubuntu pocket reference somewhere on the internet [02:55] hi, iv'e started an upgrade, but is there any way to watch progress from a ssh session? [02:56] Thank you mhall119 [02:56] xfurious where is the log at? [02:56] veggteppe: print or online? theres an Ubuntu Linux for DUmmies [02:56] i have a new question when i do update check it says 44 but i cant get them installed [02:56] after I upgraded to Jaunty all my video players keep crashing when I try to play a video. [02:56] Hello, again. Im still not sure how to activate the cool notification feature. Ive looked under system->administration-> like i was recommended but i dont seem to find anything. Where should i look? [02:56] i have a problem, can somebody help me out? [02:56] found it but nothing was printed in the log [02:56] ok looking for hope folder [02:56] psychic: why specifically not? [02:57] thanks [02:57] is that good? [02:57] pref a nice pdf file, found the one mhall119 was talking about i think :) [02:57] thats what i'm trying to figure out [02:57] hi, iv'e started an upgrade, but is there any way to watch progress from a ssh session? need an answer, im 30 away from PONR [02:57] manpoole: it was a shot in the dark --- but i would just run with it, if you dont see any FSCKs going on when you start up [02:57] it says downloading updates and getting info and stuff but the install button stays shadowed out and i never get the list [02:58] gotta go.... [02:58] After installing the ATi 9.4 drivers in Jaunty, upon rebooting, I'm greeted with two smaller ubuntu logos on the top (black background) which are pixelated, with a greenish tint, and the comp refuses to continue. Anyone know a fix for this? This is from a clean installation immediately installing the drivers. I have done them with ATis installer, installing them manually with ATIs package, and used the restricted drivers [02:58] manpoole: is your pc pretty new / fast? [02:58] a year old [02:58] I booted off from LiveCD ubuntu and no luck. The error is "aborted because broken padding" [02:58] 2 gigs 3.6 x2 amd [02:58] 2.6ghz [02:58] gartral: hmm not really that im aware of [02:58] not 3.6 [02:58] hi guys its me again question how safe is it to use wine in linux? [02:58] I can't play videos on my laptop. [02:58] Krio: Can you access the "Check CD for defects" option on the LiveCD menu? [02:58] aaa28: what sort of "safe" [02:59] aaa28: Depends on the application, some are emulated better than others. See the WineHQ application compatibility database. [02:59] i mean security and virus [02:59] guys i have some feedback on ubuntu, Can i just post this as a "bug" [02:59] u could always run VMware [02:59] I need help. i recently upgraded from 8.1 to 9.04 and now my xserver doesnt work. i tried to boot to the prompt and reconfigure xserver but it just asks me questions about the keyboard then kicks me back out to the prompt. pls help!!! [02:59] xfurious and another thing using super+tab makes me log out of x [02:59] WINE never gave me trouble theres a few win programs that still wont function tho [02:59] does anyone else have a system with 2g of ram and a dual core 2.6ghz AMD (or comparable) and can offer average shutdown times? [02:59] aaa28: dont run malware with wine... :) worse it could do however would be trash the users stuff.. not the system [02:59] thats what i would really like [02:59] anyone here using netbook remix? [03:00] xfurious, 4 seconds [03:00] Or does anyone know of a log I can check to see what is causing this issue? [03:00] how do I add more workspaces [03:00] I booted off from LiveCD ubuntu and no luck. The error is "aborted because broken padding". [03:00] i want to use lightscribe application and dvdripper [03:00] mines 0 seconds [03:00] manpoole: 4 seconds shutdown from armegadon [03:00] aaa28: there are some native lightscribe apps for linux [03:00] or at least can someone give me a direction? [03:00] Krio: Can you access the "Check CD for defects" option on the LiveCD menu? [03:00] that didn't help [03:00] aaa28: and dvd ripping tools also. [03:00] aaa28: if you are not running anything questionable - it should be no problem [03:00] yea [03:00] Looce: no [03:00] Hows everyone doing? ;) [03:01] do you think that if i completely deleted the .xchat 2 directory after complete intstall then reinstalled it would work or is that bad? [03:01] is there anything i can comment out to allow updates to install all the way instead of just saying there available and not letting me get them [03:01] Krio: as someone else said: try the Check CD for Defects option at the livecd boot menu [03:01] should be able to unmount thumb drives from home display in unr [03:01] i recently upgraded from 8.1 to 9.04 and now my xserver doesnt work. i tried to boot to the prompt and reconfigure xserver but it just asks me questions about the keyboard then kicks me back out to the prompt. pls help!!! [03:01] I upgraded my Linux Dell laptop to Jaunty and now I can't play any videos. [03:01] Computer_Man, what exactly are you trying to do /fix? [03:01] i want to use dvdcloner6 [03:01] Computer_Man: try running from xchat2 from command line and see the errors [03:02] armegadon: he changed color schemes in xchat2 now it wont start [03:02] secret9011: did you download the codecs? you might need to re-download them. [03:02] Looce Xfurious: as soon as it goes into the LiveCD, my keyboard does not respond at all. No numlock [03:02] xfurious i will write that out in the forums becuase no-one seems to know for sure [03:02] Krio: The disc might have been written incorrectly altogether; with a defective burner, or too fast, or something like that. If you have a CD-Rewritable, use that for tests [03:02] any ideas how to enable the notification system? [03:02] Criten: how do I do that? [03:02] secret9011: or inslall vlc [03:02] Looce, thanks for your help [03:02] manpoole: good idea [03:02] so should i use wine? [03:02] xfurious, i'd imagine uninstalling and deleting the ~/.xchat2 folder should do the trick [03:02] or no [03:02] it didnt do that in 8.10 [03:03] Criten: I already have vlc. All the players crash with the "badalloc insufficient resources for operation" error [03:03] i don't want to mest up my system [03:03] secret9011: oh... thats weird.. [03:03] armegadon: i guess he tried it already [03:03] secret9011: try re-loading vlc [03:03] any ideas on getting seahorse to serve up certs to firefox without manually adding them to firefox? [03:03] 9.04, better or worse then 8.04 ? [03:03] test34, i like it better [03:03] armegadon: is xchat2 in the repos ? [03:03] Criten: like apt-get remove and apt-get install? [03:03] pyhacker: Add to Panel -> Indicator applet. It will be one pixel wide and show nothing on the bar, so it's quite difficult to remove after the fact. But that applet will gather the new-style notifications. [03:03] test34: depends on your hardware [03:03] xfurious also i was having problems every time i press super+tab it logs me out [03:03] !info xchat2 [03:03] Package xchat2 does not exist in jaunty [03:03] secret9011: yes [03:03] secret9011: try the memcheck at boot (from livecd if need be) and make sure your ram is ok [03:03] hmm [03:03] murlidhar, yes, under the name 'xchat' [03:04] oh [03:04] !info xchat [03:04] xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional.

[03:04] dmbfan: shooot [03:04] secret9011: have you googled the error message? [03:04] armegadon: why is then called xchat2 instead of xchat ? [03:04] i recently upgraded from 8.1 to 9.04 and now my xserver doesnt work. i tried to boot to the prompt and reconfigure xserver but it just asks me questions about the keyboard then kicks me back out to the prompt. [03:04] Criten: yes, it seems to be quite common [03:04] murlidhar, v2 ? [03:05] Criten: but doesn't seem to apply to me [03:05] it is a BCM4306 [03:05] test34: i recommend not doing the upgrade and just reloading it. [03:05] murlidhar: ubottu is not the official repo ;) [03:05] dmbfan: what video card? have you tried X from the command lien and if so what errors [03:05] murlidhar, its just the folder it stores its settings in, that was a developper decision [03:05] its an ati raedon === sean is now known as Guest90880 [03:05] Criten, you mean clean install? [03:05] test34: yea [03:05] when i startx the screen goes black with a bar of color stripes at the bottom [03:05] test34: i have some friends where just doing the upgrade broke alot of things [03:05] xfurious: I'm sure there's nothing wrong with my ram. The error message seems to be common. [03:05] test34: but a clean install was fine [03:05] guys, sho can help me configure my BCM4306 wireless card [03:05] dmbfan: and stays that way or crashes back to prompt [03:05] stays that way when i startx [03:06] guys, sho can help me configure my BCM4306 wireless card [03:06] hey does anyone know where i can download the sound file from simcity 2000 that says reticulating splines [03:06] secret9011: your probably rig ht -- just stabbign in the dark i spose [03:06] it kicks me to the prompt after asking questions about the keyboard when i try to reconfigure [03:06] secret9011: what was the error again? [03:06] dmbfan: use ctrl+alt+backspace to kill it and read the errors [03:06] Criten: "badalloc insufficient resources for operation" [03:06] threeOnWimax: i'm afraid you're in the wrong channel ;) [03:06] Criten, clean install is always better, but you have to make sure you don't forget to backup anything [03:06] guys i have a serious problem, trackerd is consuming enormous resources and making my system extremely laggy... is there a memory leak bug with trackerd or something? [03:06] it just completely locks [03:07] threeOnWimax, try google ;) [03:07] test34: yupp, also try out the EXT4 filesystem ive had no problems with it [03:07] ctrl alt backspace does nothing [03:07] Sh3r1ff: i figured with 1526 users someone has to know [03:07] how do you run a program with the '--sync command line'? [03:07] Dreamg [03:07] m0u5e: lots of files / hard drive space and low system specs? [03:07] threeOnWimax: 1525 people that are here for ubuntu, not sounds ;) [03:07] Dreamglider: tried cant find it [03:07] Criten, I dont know about ext4... because I still don't like ext3 [03:07] xfurious: wolfdale 8400 (3.0ghz), 4gb ram, ubuntu jaunty 64bit, 640gb hard drive [03:07] Computer_Man: run a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) then type your command, then a space, then --sync before pressing Enter [03:07] xfurious: my specs are fine [03:08] m0u5e: hmm then idk (i dont use tracker) [03:08] ext2! [03:08] guys, sho can help me configure my BCM4306 wireless card [03:08] dl the game, it's like 10Mb ! [03:08] secret9011: and you upgraded? [03:08] xfurious: trackerd is consuming 3.7gb of memory, and like 4.3gb of swap... its ridiculous [03:08] is there anyway to reload the graphics driver...i have already tried apt-get fglrx...and it says i have the latest version [03:08] nasko8: if things havent changed since i used broadcom wireless, youll need ndiswrapper + broadcom windows drivers [03:08] but can i repair or something [03:08] Criten: the trouble started after I upgraded to Jaunty. [03:08] nasko8: but i think it has so [03:08] Criten: It was working fine before. [03:08] secret9011: did you upgrade or do a clean install? [03:09] Criten: upgrade from 8.10 [03:09] m0u5e: is that immediately after starting it or after it runs for a long time [03:09] m0u5e: feel free to kill it and start it again [03:09] The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'. [03:09] (Details: serial 956 error_code 17 request_code 145 minor_code 5) [03:09] (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; [03:09] that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. [03:09] To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line [03:09] Computer_Man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:09] option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful [03:09] xfurious: yes, I installed ndiswrapper and the windows drivers. the problem is that "iwlist scan" sais "no scan results" [03:09] xfurious: it just starts to suck up more and more memory resources [03:09] xfurious: already tried that, it happens every time [03:09] Computer_Man: no flooding [03:09] secret9011: the easiest way would probably be to do a clean install for 9.04 because upgrading can produce problems [03:09] does the 'cp' command maintain permissions/ownership, etc of files ? [03:09] Computer_Man: use a pastebin like paste.ubuntu.com ( i think it is) [03:09] is possible to make down for an eth0 IP ? [03:10] Criten: clean install is not an option [03:10] sorry....just got that after sent. [03:10] xfurious: any ideas? [03:10] secret9011: oh.. [03:10] homeskill: it can, if you use the -p flag. [03:10] homeskill: if i'm not mistaken, yes [03:10] xfurious: yes, I installed ndiswrapper and the windows drivers. the problem is that "iwlist scan" sais "no scan results" [03:10] any ideas on getting seahorse to serve up certs to firefox without manually adding them to firefox? [03:11] PhotoJim thanks, is that as good as rsync -a? [03:11] xfurious: I mean, after I did the ndiswrapper thing I can see a wlan0 interface.... [03:11] homeskill: by default it doesn't, use "cp --archive files target" [03:11] homeskill: i think it does -- to be sure use cp --help and look at the options [03:11] oh ok nvm [03:11] guys, i need help, please [03:11] if i upgrade to 9.04 its not going to delete my files right [03:11] ? [03:11] skeletal: With? [03:11] also, anyone else here have a HD 4870? i have the fglrx drivers installed under hardware drivers, but videos lag like crazy [03:11] i dont know what i can do [03:11] skeletal: repeat question? [03:11] homeskill: as far as ownership and such, yes, but cp and rsync are really different tools fir different jobs. [03:11] psychic: no it isn't ;) [03:12] m0u5e: normal videos or flash videos [03:12] guys, someone here have some translator system similar to Babylon??????? [03:12] xfurious: both [03:12] xfurious: when i try to reconfigure xserver, after asking me questions about the keyboard it kicks me back to the prompt [03:12] skeletal: you want to translate text? google translate!! [03:12] * airtonix steals skeletals '?' [03:12] xfurious: running glxgears too makes my system crash :/ [03:12] has there been any updates for ubuntu 9.04 in the last 2~ days?? [03:12] skeletal, gnome-do has a plugin for google translate [03:12] * Looce steals one too, leaving skeletal with 5 ?s [03:12] dmbfan: try sudo X -config [03:13] dmbfan: ooops sudo X -configure i think [03:13] If I don't have a flash drive handy, what are some other ways I can install Ubuntu Netbook Remix? [03:13] xfurious no guys, i need translate in real time, similar to Babylon, like babytrans, stardict [03:13] hi [03:13] I found the weirdest thing here...I disabled ipv6 by editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local, I believe it was, adding the line "blacklist ipv6". That worked in Intrepid. Now, it seems that ipv6 is somehow activated, despite the file still being intact, and because of this, Opera is unbearably slow in connecting to certain sites again. Any ideas? [03:13] skeletal: buy a dictionary? ;) [03:13] how can i resize my system partition? [03:14] black magic [03:14] can someone decipher this error message? [03:14] has there been any updates for ubuntu 9.04 in the last 2~ days?? [03:14] secret9011: see if this can help you at all [03:14] xfurious: tells me to startx then back to the locked screen [03:14] kromar: gparted [03:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/158253/plain/ [03:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-194746.html [03:14] kromer: sudo apt-get install gparted, but be EXTREMELY FREAKING CAREFUL [03:14] Sh3r1ff: hahahahaha ten points [03:14] can i use the same firewall that comes with fedora on ubuntu 9.04 [03:14] ? [03:14] resize my system partition by using gparted [03:14] Sh3r1ff: well i tried that but im not allowed to resize it... [03:14] there are software like babytrans =) [03:14] dmbfan: i still havent heard about any warnings/errors from X after ctrl+alt+backspace out of startx [03:14] kromar: Did you run it with sudo? [03:14] kromar you cant resize a mounted partition, do it from a live cd [03:14] Sh3r1ff: yes [03:14] skeletal: i'm old school when it comes to translating ;) [03:15] kromar: Oh duh. samd is right [03:15] twocarlo: yes you want to be RIDICULOUS careful back up all important stuff!!! [03:15] skeletal, google translation with a perl script [03:15] xfurious: it locks completely. ctlr-alt-backspace does nothing [03:15] has there been any updates for ubuntu 9.04 in the last 2~ days?? [03:15] well i also tried from live cd and got an error [03:15] dmbfan: oh ouch --- are you using the ATI bianry drivers or the open source ones [03:15] dmbfan: to enable CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE you have to run "sudo dontzap --disable" [03:16] kromar: is the partition still mounted? [03:16] samd: I think I noticed one for Java, but I'm not entirely sure [03:16] check filesystem on /dev/sda1 for errors and (if possible) fix them  00:00:00    ( ERROR ) [03:16] samd: idk does the updater tell you there has been? [03:16] samd: Not that I see after doing an apt-get update [03:16] dmb, ctrl-f6 ? [03:16] did my link work? [03:16] dmb, ctrl-alt-f6 ? [03:16] How are upgrades from Intrepid to Jaunty going?? Any issues known?? [03:17] WIGGMPk: i have a problem with my wireless card [03:17] WIGGMPk: more than people like :P [03:17] WIGGMPk: lots of issues for some.. none for others.. [03:17] :) [03:17] WIGGMPk, none here [03:17] * Sh3r1ff sticks to 8.04 LTS [03:17] WIGGMPk: depends on your hardware, and how lucky you are :P [03:17] still nothing with ctrl-alt-backspace and f6 as well [03:17] WIGGMPk: there appears to be a few just from what ive seen here in the last hour or so [03:17] WIGGMPk: It did the usual thing of deleting XScreenSaver, and it seems to be ignoring my ipv6 blacklist, but no real problems that weren't my own fault [03:17] Sh3r1ff: i unmounted it from the live cd and got the error: check filesystem on /dev/sda1 for errors and (if possible) fix them  00:00:00    ( ERROR ) [03:17] Surlent777 Loce ight, yeah, no updates in update notifier, i just wanted to make sure everything was ok, since its a new release, i was just expecting more updates, but its ok thanks [03:17] Sh3r1ff: Id be with Hardy still but I didnt feel like compiling a kernel from my laptop, so I just up'ed to Intrepid [03:17] test34, can i help you? [03:18] dmb, that was for dmbfan, sorry [03:18] dmbfan: try Alt+SysRq+K [03:18] help when i use SUPER + TAB it logs out, any ideas? [03:18] Surlent777: ipv4 still enabled by default right? (dumb question I know) [03:18] dmb: you have a fanclub, lucky you :D [03:18] haha [03:18] heh [03:18] does anyone know the directory for gnome-xchat? [03:18] yeah this has been killing me [03:18] I just managed to configure postfix to send outgoing mail through sendmail, and I've created a .forward file to point to my gmail address, but Im not recieving the output from cronjobs. what mechanism does crontab use to send emails and how can I troubleshoot this? [03:18] kromar: when booting from livecd, the hard disk should not be mounted automatically [03:18] WIGGMPk: I have no idea what any of that is, really, but I know that I disabled 6 to make Opera work right on Facebook [03:18] Computer_Man: which directory do you want? [03:18] kromar what type of filesystem is the partition? ext3? [03:18] Sh3r1ff: oh i should read those error msges more carefully... /dev/sda1 is mounted. [03:19] Has anyone run into a bug of being unable to resize windows when desktop effects are on? [03:19] manpoole: sounds like compiz may be crashing taking X with it... [03:19] kromar: :) [03:19] WIGGMPk: Issues for me from Hardy to Jaunty were improper sound output from the non-free Flash plugin, the Human-Murrine theme engine not existing, and slowness in Compiz (running an nVidia chipset) [03:19] hmm [03:19] Hi everyone. [03:19] Surlent777: ipv4 is the de facto standard for the internet IP address's right now.. ipv6 is going to be the leap once or before we run out of IP's [03:19] manpoole: Dr_Willis is probably right [03:19] Cyde: Open Compiz Config and make sure that Resize Windows is checked towards the bottom [03:19] adem, Hello! [03:19] I need a little help with wifi issues on xubuntu. [03:19] guys can i know exacly what command execute gnome on startup for compiz????????? [03:19] Also, Azureus didn't start, I had to edit the file /usr/bin/azureus because its Java VM was hardcoded [03:19] Sh3r1ff: but still, i had to unmount it first and than got that error so whats wrong there? o_O [03:19] well I changed my colors in gnome-xchat. then the app crashed and now won't launch. I complety removed and reinstalled with synaptic but still nothing. [03:19] adem: 1. does it work at all, 2. what version of ubuntu [03:19] ALiENr0x: What? [03:19] WIGGMPk: I know that much, but what I don't know is why Jaunty is ignoring my blacklisting of it [03:20] from command line i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/158253/plain/ [03:20] for me, 1. no, 2. 8.10 [03:20] i didnt know if that key combination logged me out or anything [03:20] Criten: my xorg.conf file Device is "Configured Video Device" [03:20] kromar: have you unmount it in gparted (are the keys still present near the partition)? [03:20] Dr_Willis: i need to know what command gnome execute at startup for make start compiz [03:20] ALiENr0x: execute *gnome*? you mean starting compix when you login automatically right? [03:20] i'm using an usb wireless stick [03:20] ALiENr0x: /usr/bin/compiz.real --ignore-desktop-hints --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-client-id 10b0e2e15aa8e6944612406197103366300000033210037 core ccp [03:20] ALiENr0x: compiz --replace most likely [03:20] Surlent777: wish I could help you out on that, im still debating on making the jump. I think I might try upgrading my VM of Intrepid to Jaunty to see how it goes first [03:20] Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't seem to work anymore in Jaunty. [03:20] Surlent777: How does that option possibly default to off?! === Guest29958 is now known as allquixotic [03:20] i'd do compiz.real --replace --indirect-rendering --replace ccp [03:20] WIGGMPk: good idea [03:20] secret901: disable [03:20] core is implied AFAIK [03:20] !dontzap | secret901 [03:20] secret901: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable » [03:21] Looce: thx is good :) [03:21] Looce, xfurious: I burned another disc at a slower speed and still no go. I accessed the disc defect menu and I have the same error [03:21] secret901: its disabled by default [03:21] Sh3r1ff: im gona reboot to the live cd, be right back [03:21] Where is "restricted drivers manager" in 9.04? [03:21] Cyde: the upgrade might have messed up a couple of minor things in there [03:21] secret901: and try re-instaling your graphics card drivers [03:21] sa [03:21] nibsa1242, it says hardware drivers [03:21] Cyde: like tracker... many people are experiencing tracker issues [03:21] hello [03:21] WIGGMPk: I read somewhere today that certain VM programs didn't do well with the beta, while others were fine with it...I forget which was which though [03:21] Krio: you went to check for defects THEN it crashed back to booting? [03:21] nibsa1242: administrator->hardware drivers [03:21] Krio: That is rather weird then. Maybe your BIOS is affecting the boot process. Look on your motherboard manufacturer (or Compaq, IBM etc.) for updated BIOS code [03:21] Criten: how do I do that? This laptop comes with Linux installed and all the drivers installed. [03:22] nibsa1242: What's tracker? [03:22] nibsa1242: Tracker can be worked around with a simple command, available on the Release Notes page [03:22] Does anyone know if anything is needed to log into locked wireless routers for xubuntu? I can't seem to get into locked WPA or any security but I can easily go into unlocked wireless. [03:22] [manufacturer (...)'s website* for] [03:22] Cyde: It indexes your files for faster searches [03:22] Is there any way to disable the annoying "Search for a suitable plugin" dialogs in Rhythmbox? I've already installed all the plugins I want to install, but every time I start it, Rhythmbox finds some files that it doesn't know how to parse and asks to search for a decoder. I don't want to see that dialog at all. [03:22] secret901: oh... do you know what graphics card it is? [03:22] also got same error serial 129 error code 17 [03:22] adem: the wpa key? ;) [03:22] Criten: darthanubis Thanks [03:22] Cyde: its a desktop search / file info database digger [03:22] Criten: yes [03:22] Surlent777: Is that in place of updatedb? [03:22] ok, thanks for that. [03:22] secret901: is it an nvidia? [03:22] smith [03:23] Criten: no, I think it's Intel [03:23] indeed smith. question? :-) [03:23] Surlent777: yes, but it has to be run everytime I restart and his highly annoying, I think I'm just going to uninstall tracker, it never worked right anyway [03:23] Cyde I have no idea [03:23] do we have fglrx ( ATI ) drivers for 9.04 yet? [03:23] nibsa1242: suit yourself, I guess. It seems to behave for me [03:23] adem: In System > Preferences > Network Connections, add a wireless connection and in the Wireless Security tab, choose WPA and fill in the rest [03:23] Computer_Man: for some weird reason, i got schismtracker via the ubuntu distribution, and it would work one day then crash. reinstalling would fix it temporarily, then it would crash again. in the end i just copied the source i had from my freebsd machine and compiled it [03:23] secret901: go to administration-> hardware drivers [03:23] Criten: it's a Dell Ubuntu laptop [03:23] Yes, how do is compile my drivers in the kernel? [03:23] alright, I figured out my problem, here is the solution for others who have experienced tracker index corruption issues: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904#Tracker%20index%20corruption [03:23] secret901: do you see the driver? [03:24] WIGGMPk: Any idea why Jaunty would be ignoring the blacklist? [03:24] Computer_Man: i recommend that you try compiling xchat from source [03:24] Greetings everyone. [03:24] Looce: I'm running 9.04 xubuntu. [03:24] Surlent777: it wouldn't show files when I would search or it would tell me there were 60+ results and only show 2 or 3 of them [03:24] Criten: no proprietary drivers [03:24] Hey dudes. Does anyone know how to issue a command such as "vlc video.avi" while logged in over SSH via a terminal only, and have that window appear on the SERVER? (I know I won't be able to see it) [03:24] Surlent777: no sir, have not looked into Jaunty yet, dont really know what has been changed/added [03:24] m0u5e: excellent! btw i didnt mention cuz of the fray going on but are you sure your drivers are hw accelerated [03:24] nibsa1242: You have to look in there and press a button to scroll through results [03:24] Computer_Man: http://www.xchat.org/compiling/ [03:25] ah, i got it now [03:25] secret901: hmm.. i really have no idea... maybe try posting on the froums or keep asking around here [03:25] Sutur: yes. DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc vide.avi [03:25] Anyone know why VLC suddenly displays videos in a separate window than the interface window? This is incredibly impossible to use, especially in full screen (none of the controls are even available). [03:25] Computer_Man: ~/.xchat2 [03:25] ~ is your home folder [03:25] secret901: but if you do a clean install it will probably fix everything up. [03:25] uncmar: Trying it now :) [03:25] Sutur: Assuming the display actually is :0.0 Which is very common. [03:25] xfurious: I think so? I have compiz fusion running fine... and whatever version of fglrx is under ubuntu's repos [03:25] xfurious: i also have catalyst control center installed as whatever a part of that was installed [03:25] Computer_Man: ignore what i just said about compiling from source, that folder has your configuration [03:25] xchat2 seems to the folder for regular xchat but not gnome xchat......from what i can tell [03:25] Surlent777: the button didn't exist... and the window wouldn't be full with only 3 results... sometimes it wouldn't show any but it would tell me there were 100+ results [03:25] m0u5e: does the video play good when compiz is off [03:26] If I do all the upgrades that are available after a fresh install will it try and upgrade my OS to 9.04? I'm currently using 8.04 [03:26] ...why are you using gnome-xchat? [03:26] Does anyone know if there's something to be added to the wireless options for xubuntu 9.04? [03:26] Computer_Man: yes it is [03:26] xfurious: :( but i want compiz to be on >_<; [03:26] nibsa1242: That is really weird. It's worked fine for me in the past oO [03:26] Cyde its VLC's new interface after the install I hate it [03:26] m0u5e: its just for testing -- use "metacity --replace" on GNOME or "kwin --replace" on KDE and try the video [03:26] do we have fglrx ( ATI ) drivers for 9.04 yet? [03:26] Computer_Man: run this in a shell: ls -d ~/.*xchat* [03:26] nibsa1242: i still use the old one :P [03:26] how do i saw mobo info from terminal? [03:26] Someone know how to dont do crash compiz when use freewins plugin?? [03:26] m0u5e: if it works, then turn compiz back on with "compiz --replace" and then make sure that the Video PLayback plugin is enabled in CCSM [03:26] well xserver is still frozen [03:26] nibsa1242: If this is really as intended, it is so inept I don't even know what to say. When you fullscreen the video - and this is what most people do - none of the controls are available. [03:26] My computer crashed while Ubuntu was updating last week. Now I have no Internet (but inet still works under XP). [03:27] xfurious: yeah im testing that now :( [03:27] and none of the ctl-alt stuff worked [03:27] this is really driving me crazy [03:27] Hey, can someone give me some protips? [03:27] and i cant reconfigure it either [03:27] adem: oh, Xubuntu, well I have no idea, sorry [03:27] sometimes it kicks me out [03:27] My Ubuntu 8.10 won't let me has desktop Effects. [03:27] ALiENr0x: It crashed for me too...I don't think there's anything we can do as of yet, save look for a newer version [03:27] I have an NVIDIA 7150m and all my drivers should be A-OK. [03:27] dmbfan: im sorry -- did you end up trying 'sudo X -configure' ? and it finished without error? [03:27] is what was packaged with OS so figured i'd work with it....but then had weird issue so figured that since i was new would work to fix to learn. [03:27] ALiENr0x: Which is a shame, as I loved CubeAtlantis2 as well [03:27] Looce: Thanks anyway :\ [03:27] SuperMiguel: why old version work good :\ [03:27] xfurious: wow major speed increase [03:27] Cyde all I know is that it changed after update, and even if you change things in the preferences, it still opens in the other window [03:27] I accidentally hit some key combo in Kubuntu and I can't type at all now [03:27] Already booted into recovery mode and tried to fix bad packages, but that didn't do any good. [03:27] no keyboard inputs work [03:27] xfurious: my glxgears are working too... running at 9000fps [03:27] http://alienr0x.altervista.org/Schermata.png [03:27] WTF! [03:28] ieatnoobs: so you enabled the drivers in the "hardware drivers" [03:28] nibsa1242: Yeah, I found the preference option, and it does nothing. [03:28] ? [03:28] This is breathtakingly incompetent :-( [03:28] m0u5e: its possible your drivers dont have good indirect GLX support [03:28] criten: Yah. [03:28] SuperMiguel: http://alienr0x.altervista.org/Schermata.png [03:28] huh... weird [03:28] Hi all I had problems with the display manager app in ubuntu 9.04, so i had to do a reconfigure of the xorg.conf with dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg.conf command, while that fixed my problem it brought another, grub autoloads ubuntu without giving me the options. [03:28] m0u5e: your on ATI radeon right? [03:28] ieatnoobs: have you restarted X since you enabled them? [03:28] Criten: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/Video/Intel#Intel_Mobile_945GM.2FGMS.2F940GML_Express_Integrated_Graphics_Controller [03:28] Criten: I'm using a Dell Inspiron E1505n [03:28] I've rebooted. [03:28] SuperMiguel: this is with intrepid [03:28] xfurious: i thought the radeon 48** series was supposed to have excellent linux support? [03:28] xfurious: yeah, 4870 [03:29] Cyde submit a bug report to launchpad & the VLC devs... maybe it'll get fixed [03:29] ALiENr0x: NICE. Why didn't I think of trying that? I just tilted it back and had xwinwrap with GLMatrix for my show-off pic =O [03:29] nibsa1242: Apparently it's already fixed in the latest ppa release. [03:29] is dontzap supposed to enable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? I installed it but it still doesn't work [03:29] nibsa1242: So they must be aware of it. They just need to push out a new stable release through the patch system ASAP. [03:29] uncmar: No dice...tells me (basically) that No protocol is specified. [03:29] Cyde well good... so it'll get rolled out soon then [03:29] ok i did x -configurte [03:29] secret901: you need to disable it after you install it [03:29] secret901: now you have to activate it with sudo dontzap --disable [03:29] badfish69: what information are you wanting, exactly? [03:29] how do i access the log [03:29] m0u5e: see what version of the driver you have (not sure how to with ATI but whatever package provides the fglrx should have the version -- compare to the latest version on ATIs site -- if its out of date try to get ubuntu to give you the latest by doing all updates and if its up to date i would consider grabbing an ubuntu build from ATI's site [03:29] Oops, sorry. I tried to reenable them and I had to ctrl+alt+backspace. [03:29] xfurious: what settings under compiz do you think would help? [03:29] What should I leave as my root partitions free space? [03:30] Surlent777: so the point is to install it and then disable it? [03:30] make and model [03:30] Surlent777: why bother installing it at all then [03:30] secret901: No, you install a SCRIPT and then RUN it [03:30] Help? [03:30] or do i have to open up the case for that [03:30] m0u5e: make sure that the Video Playback plugin is on, and mess with it's settings [03:30] nibsa1242: I really do hope so. [03:30] m0u5e, some ATI cards don't like the default EXA acceleration, try adding this to the 'Device' section of your xorg.con Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" [03:30] m0u5e: but really it sounds more like driver issues [03:30] Criten: Did you say something? [03:30] Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" [03:30] xfurious: how would i check what driver version I have for fglrx? [03:30] this is me. [03:30] Anyone use xubuntu 9.04? [03:30] mrwes: ahhh! yeah that will probably help. totally forgot about accel methods [03:30] uncmar: "Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?" [03:30] xfurious: apt-cache policy is giving me nothing :( [03:30] ieatnoobs: you have to diable the dontzap script [03:31] criten: Whaaa? [03:31] Sh3r1ff:so when i apply the action in the partition manager i get the error that the drive is mounted... whats wrong there? [03:31] adem : i am using it. but it messed up my video. [03:31] ok it says to test with X -configure /root/...conf.new and when i do that it appears to be booting to x and then it locks again.... [03:31] xfurious, I could enable compiz after I added that [03:31] yo [03:31] Ctrl+Alt+backspace still doesn't work after I tried "sudo dontzap --disable" [03:31] Sutur: open a terminal on the GUI of the server and type echo $DISPLAY [03:31] I don't understand the purpose of this new applet, the indicator applet. Is it possible to minimize evolution to it? [03:31] ieatnoobs: oh.. wrong person, did you restart since enabling the drivers? [03:31] how do you install the quickcam driver? [03:31] m0u5e: apt-cache show fglrx-driver [03:31] Pctek9: Have you used the wireless? [03:31] Criten: Aye. [03:31] xfurious: it says its not installed :X [03:31] xfurious: ok it says to test with X -configure /root/...conf.new and when i do that it appears to be booting to x and then it locks again.... [03:32] Sutur: you will want to use that number. [03:32] adem : the wireless doesn't work on mine. [03:32] ieatnoobs: does any error message popup when you try to enable it? [03:32] Sh3r1ff:also if i unmount the disk again it will open the file manager.. what should i do there? [03:32] xfurious: it also says theres no candidate [03:32] hello [03:32] adem : i think they redid all the drivers or something [03:32] dmbfan: great! ok that test command does not make the changes permanent [03:32] pctek9: Not at all or for locked routers only? [03:32] OK, I have done...if it denies me, do you think I may need to enable it in a configuration file somewhere? [03:32] is there any way for me to get to the terminal without x running [03:32] dmbfan: move that new config file to replace your xorg.conf [03:32] adem : my wireless does not work at all on here. [03:32] how do I get Ctrl+Alt+Backspace working again? I installed dontzap and ran "sudo dontzap --disable" [03:32] xfurious: i think it's actually pulling the driver from the ATI site [03:32] skinnymg1_: ctrl-alt- 2-6 i think [03:33] someone can help me resizing my system partition? i always get an error that the drive is mounted:( [03:33] No, no error, the screen just goes black and I have to Ctrl Alt Backspace. [03:33] m0u5e: oh, then try upgrading it === william is now known as Guest38403 [03:33] secret901: it didnt work for me right after i ran it... try a restart or something [03:33] secret901, did you reboot? [03:33] m0u5e: because that will not be updated automatically by ubuntu of course [03:33] kromar: download GParted, burn it to a CD, and boot off of that [03:33] pctek9: I can log into wireless unlocked routers but not locked ones though. [03:33] Sutur: will also need to run it as the user of the current logged in desktop. [03:33] good evening [03:33] Criten: nice of Ubuntu...now requiring reboots... [03:33] is fglrx (ati drivers) and jaunty a no go at this point in time? [03:33] xfurious...sorry to ask but whats the path to the old xorg.conf [03:33] secret901: well you can do that, or restart X [03:33] adem : my ati drivers for linux don't work anymore... i'm stuck with crappy video. [03:33] anyone know how to get grub to repair grub to give me the option to load vista again? It's only autoloading to ubuntu. [03:33] uncmar: Yep, same user on host & server (logged in). [03:34] Criten: /etc/X11 [03:34] adem : i have a 3650 [03:34] rogan: m0u5e has it working i think but is having some video / indirect GLX performance issues [03:34] ieatnoobs: how exactly do i get a bootable version? [03:34] uncmar: Your command works on the server. [03:34] Criten: how do I restart X without using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? [03:34] rogan: i dont know if thats jaunty related [03:34] kromar: It's on their website. [03:34] I'm surprised at this regression [03:34] uncmar: I still believe the host is trying to make it appear locally. [03:34] kikings: edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a proper entry to boot your windows install. [03:34] secret901: uhh... you can do like ctrl + SysRq + k or something like that [03:34] xfurious: well, what would it be then? [03:34] Installed 9.04 and sound worked for serveral restarts. Now it is gone. Volume is up. Any help? [03:34] adem : my wired network card stopped working, my wireless, and my ati video drivers. [03:34] secret901: Ctrl+alt+f1,. login, sudo killall X or sudo killall Xorg [03:34] secret901: click ALT+CTRL+F1. Then login. Then run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [03:34] thanks Dr_Willis [03:35] Imaginal : my sound doesn't work either [03:35] Criten: No error, just a black screen [03:35] Imaginal : but the new log in screen is beautiful [03:35] rogan: what would what be? whether it works? idk ive got nvidia and am not on jaunty yet [03:35] ieatnoobs: well.. thats lame, haha... did you do an upgrade from 8.10? [03:35] pctek9: Damn, I got everything working beautifully but logging into locked wireless connections [03:35] it is a juanty issue [03:35] I imagine kernel related [03:35] Criten: I'm on 8.10 [03:35] xfurious: ok i moved it [03:35] now what [03:35] dmbfan: does it work now? [03:36] ieatnoobs:ok thx i will try that [03:36] ieatnoobs: hmm... thats odd.. what card did you say you have?

Not much changed... it is pretty though [03:36] seems that I was banned from #debian, but I've never logged in before to that channel. Any of you guys know how to reactive a ban? === Shinu is now known as Shinu_ === Dr_Seuss is now known as FrozenFire === Shinu_ is now known as Shinu [03:36] ieatnoobs: see if you can google your card and see if anyone else is having trouble with it [03:36] Criten: someone asked the path to xorg.conf, was it not you?

[03:37] xfurious: ok i moved teh xorg.conf now what [03:37] *9.04 [03:37] dmbfan: run the command 'startx' [03:37] xfurious: I started using IRSSI as the IRC, and I think it was trying to log me in as root for some reason [03:37] 9.04 = serious chaos conglomeration. [03:37] looce: same problem...locks up again [03:37] mmm [03:37] badfish69: look around in /proc [03:38] judgepg: i dropped a message there for you [03:38] xfurious: I think trying to login as my root nickname was the source of the problem [03:38] I removed fglrx, how can I select the open source dirvers?

[03:38] lol [03:38] Phew, the PPA launchpad version of VLC is fixed. [03:38] Criten: applying the fix in your link and restarting X seems to have done the trick [03:39] mine broke all over the place babe. [03:39] lol [03:39] ha ha ha [03:39] PcTek9: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:39] secret901: awesome! [03:39] PcTek9: lol, so how can I revert to w/e was running by default? [03:39] dmbfan: after youve moved the new config into /etc/X11/xorg.conf, try running startx to see if it works [03:39] judgepg: mind if I pm? [03:39] rogan: the 2d drivers work excellently on jaunty... its the fglrx drivers i'm having an issue with [03:39] Criten: thx [03:39] you need to run xconfig [03:39] secret901: no problem [03:39] Pici: go right ahead [03:39] xfurious: nope same problem [03:39] PcTek9: I'll give it a spin [03:39] Flash flickers for me.

[03:40] dmbfan: ok wait, the test run with X -config blahblah worked? [03:40] Criten: I think I fixed xorg.config before because I was trying to get it to output to the TV. [03:40] hit's annoying how jaunty broke pretty much everything [03:40] i have to reinstall... [03:40] Is there a program that reconfigures pulseaudio? [03:40] dmbfan: it showed you the X cursor with a black/hatched screen? [03:40] Anyone know how to access PCM or anything to fix my line-in on my audigy SE? D= [03:40] then stop it before it upgrades to 9.04 === Phreak is now known as Meabed [03:40] oh shit. [03:40] is there ipod software for linux? [03:40] xfurious: nope same problem [03:40] Sutur: are you certain that you are ssh into the remote machine? the server? [03:40] i can d/l v. 8 [03:40] computer_man hells yea [03:40] Computer_Man: gtkpod [03:41] Criten: and that broke all the compiz stull. Compiz seems to be working again now, but I bet now I can't output to TV. === shivers316 is now known as Guest84267 [03:41] tywashere: is it a surround card? use the mixer settings for whatever mixer you use to see if you can see more channels/switches, likely there is a "Use LIne-In as Center" or something [03:41] secret901: using s-video? [03:41] Criten: yes [03:41] i will just download an iso of v8, burn it, install it, put back all my beautimous 3d desktop, and then i will be happy, and delete link to upgrade button. [03:41] secret901: ah.. [03:41] uncmar: Positive. It's returning the correct files/folders... [03:41] PcTek9: Well, considering I said that FLASH flickers, then no. :P [03:41] uncmar: mpg123 will play files on the server [03:41] xfurious I use alsamixer and the default ubuntu mixer :P [03:42] uncmar: But X application will not work... [03:42] plasmasheep... don't use enter as punctuation . [03:42] how is xconfig run? [03:42] The one thats located in gnome-panel [03:42] Criten: see ya [03:42] secret901: see you around [03:42] Sutur: try with a simplier program like xterm or gedit. [03:42] tywashere: alsamixer should show you all switches, look thorugh for one like what i described, try muting/unmuting [03:42] Sutur: DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm [03:42] I was just wondering if anyone can say if the current Jaunty release's packages are taken from the current Debian testing or unstable(sid)?Im just trying to get an idea of how Ubuntu picks up the Debian base. [03:42] how is xconfig run? [03:42] xconfig ? i dont know... it was an old program that we used to configure X like in 1989 or something. [03:43] PcTek9: erm, what? [03:43] rogan: what are you tryign to do again? [03:43] So, what should I do to get the default driver back up and running after apt-get purge fglrx ? [03:43] xfurious It does show all my switches and volume selections :\. Ive tried un-muting and changing the volume on all of them [03:43] plasmasheep i am just joking. :) i really dig your name, it's obviously great. [03:43] PcTek9: Ah, thanks :) [03:43] uncmar: Same error: cannot open display :0.0 [03:43] does someone know if there will soon be an update for compiz or ati driver? [03:43] tywashere: is the problem that it is not working as LineIn or that you want it to be a surround channel [03:43] uncmar: The display is definitely correct. [03:43] xfurious: roll back to default driver before I tried fglrz [03:44] *x [03:44] xfurious the problem is, my line-in is really low quality in ubuntu. and it's perfectly fine in xp... [03:44] is it possible to install an older ati driver on jaunty? [03:44] Sutur: and you are running as the user that has control of the display? [03:44] uncmar: Is there a prefix to the DISPLAY command that I need, like the psudocode: localhost:DISPLAY:0.0 [03:44] uncmar: Yes. [03:44] DangerIsGo No, 9.04 is the newest As far as I know [03:44] DangerIsGo: I tired, couldnt find one compaitlbe with the jaunty kernel [03:44] *tried [03:44] rogan: the ubuntu system display settings should let you change drivers, also the Restricted Drivers manager in settings will let you remove fglrx. if you dont want to remove the driver or cant switch it, you can find the Driver line in the Device section of your xorg.conf file and change it to ati [03:44] er *9.4 [03:44] Sutur: DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 [03:44] xfurious: check my pm :D [03:45] this is driving me absolutely crazy [03:45] nothing ive tried has worked [03:45] DangerIsGo: Radeon is possible, but not the closed source fglrx [03:45] xfurious: xorg.conf is empty, pretty much. driver manager only shows disabled fglrx and diplasy settings I'm looking at now === william is now known as greedyb [03:45] bash script question: im using pwd command for view the actual path. im trying: VAR=`pwd`; echo $VAR; cd .. ; echo $VAR. but i only view the original path, no the updated with "cd.." [03:45] Hi. Ubuntu 8.04. Can't change desktop background. Neither the color nor putting a picture. Please help. TIA. [03:45] Sutur: DISPLAY is not a command, it is setting an environment variable. And Looce, thank you. I've only used it a few times. Not as comfortable with it. [03:46] hmm I found a bug in the bluetooth application [03:46] rogan, DangerIsGo: graphics drivers have nothing to do with kernel [03:46] it doesn't display any help on what the icons means making the application useless [03:46] rogan, I feel your pain, nvidia drivers finally "just work" in ubuntu after years of hell === b4sher is now known as hart1gan [03:46] yea xfurious , It's extremely anoying. because I use my line in for my ps3 and 360. and on xp it's just as if They were direcly on my headset. but somethings wrong with ubuntu when using it like that. [03:46] i've noticed there are two radeon packages in repos, one is radeon and other is radeonHD... how do i use the radeon HD package? [03:46] So anyone have vmware-tools fully functional with 9.04 and Vmware Fusion? [03:46] radeon was installed by default, but i went ahead and installed the radeonHD package [03:46] uncmar: Yes, it's setting an environment variable, it's a prefix to commands. I just happened to jump in and see that question. :o [03:46] xfurious: I cant find a way to go back to w/e was default [03:47] so how do i force my system to use the radeonhd package? [03:47] im having troubles getting my on board audio to play sound [03:47] its a realtek alc889a [03:47] Looce: Same error. [03:47] Looce: Cannot open display [03:47] board is a gigabyte p35 ds4 [03:47] tywashere: low quality: well sounds like a driver problem, consider using lsmod to determine the snd-* driver used for your card, and use the online ALSA driver matrix documentation to find a better one [03:47] hello, i have been trying to install gfortran and other packages using synaptic package manager [03:47] but i get a 404 server error [03:47] could someone help? [03:48] tywashere: that same docuemntation should also offer optiosn for the drivers to tweak it [03:48] to anyone thats having problems with ATI and 9.04. Have you tried downloading the ati driver from the site, opening a terminal then gksudo nautilus to open the file. run and install it? [03:48] tywashere: finally, ensure your PCM control is NOT max [03:48] Thats the thing =( [03:48] How do you check your Hard Disk for errors in Ubuntu?? [03:48] tywashere and everyone else who doesnt know: max pcm makes shit sound bad [03:48] so is it possible to get a 4870x2 working on jaunty w/ these 9.4 drivers or are we going to have to wait for an upgradE? [03:48] THERE IS NO PCM CONTROLL. It isnt there. [03:48] Davide, fsck [03:48] Davide: Depends on your filesystem. [03:48] hey all. just attempting to setup a vpn server (pptpd) on 8.04, and having some issues with routing. (i think that's what the problem is) I can connect to the vpn server with a remote windows box, and i can ping the vpn server internal ip, but not any of the other things on the internal connection. Anyone have any ideas where to start ? [03:48] Sutur: Is an X server even started on your computer? As root, ps ux | grep X [03:48] viqas, what kind of errors does fsck check for? [03:48] xfurious: what modules should I enable in my xorg.conf? [03:49] viqas, check your audio mixer and see if the sound card is recognized [03:49] Sutur, it's ext3 [03:49] tywashere: oh thats strange [03:49] snd_ca0106 [03:49] could some one help me? I am tryingt o install gfortran, i am getting a 404 server error [03:49] !fsck [03:49] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:49] m0u5e: did you try the AccelMethod stuff someone mentioned? and the video performance with compiz is still bad? [03:49] Looce: I am using Pidin in this chat room on the xserver of the SSH server. [03:49] voss, i tried alsamixer and the volume control next to the clock and they seem to run [03:49] xfurious: I cant find a way to go back to w/e was default [03:49] haha i must say this channel is doing wonders for my memory [03:50] voss, it says HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) [03:50] when is the channel expected to die back down to normal? [03:50] HDA means high definition audio right? [03:50] rogan: just use the Restricted Drivers Manager as I said to remove it. or are you on kubuntu (which doesnt have a RDM afaik) [03:50] xfurious: the rdm does nothing, it's already removed [03:51] but Its not using the default one as per the installation [03:51] and kubuntu does have rdm [03:51] as of jaunty [03:51] bash script question: im using pwd command for view the actual path. im trying: VAR=`pwd`; echo $VAR; cd .. ; echo $VAR. but i only view the original path, no the updated with "cd.." [03:51] Sutur: it'd be easier to do that with irssi instead of pidgin.. then you wouldn't have to mess with x forwarding for irc [03:51] if I have two IDE hard drives, can both master and slave be ext3 primary partitions? [03:51] could some one help me? I am trying to install gfortran, i am getting a 404 server error [03:51] hey guys, i got a recent WD external hard drive that just reported that it wasn't cleanly unmounted and listed off a bunch of fixes [03:51] Davide: yes [03:52] scunizi, ok thank you [03:52] If not add "pcspkr" to blacklist, how to shutdown without beep? [03:52] rogan: oh i dont have jaunty for my kubuntu yet. so wait the driver iss already gone using RDM? so what, the X server just doesnt start? [03:52] Davide: are you getting ready to install ubuntu? [03:52] should I trust that fsck fixed the ext3 fs problems on the drive? [03:52] no [03:52] scunizi: Sutur: I use irssi. :) [03:52] scunizi: The pidgin commend was just to explain that X is running on my server [03:52] uncmar: me too with screen [03:52] xfurious: yes it starts but the grfx are worse than after the install [03:53] Sutur: ah.. good.. as long as you don't make a habit of it .. :) [03:53] hart1gan: you never reassign the variable [03:53] yes viqas [03:53] Haha...first time I've used IRC in years guys [03:53] scunizi, no I've installed it, but I'm trying to figure out if one or both of my hard drives in there have problems, cant access the second HD... and I think the 1st HD might be about to die.. [03:53] scunizi, what's the best way to check the HDs for problems? [03:53] fsck? [03:53] The live cd still produces sound, so my hardware is still good [03:53] Davide: fsck check them yes.. === galvonix is now known as galvonixAWAY [03:53] hart1gan i tryed with VAR=`pwd`; echo $VAR; cd .. ; $VAR=`pwd`; echo $VAR but don't work [03:54] tywashere, meaning its expecting digital speakers and not analog? [03:54] Hello all. This is my first time using irc... [03:54] Davide: is the second drive showing up on the deskop as an accessable drive? [03:54] Goodnight everyone!! :-) [03:54] inasmu i tryed with VAR=`pwd`; echo $VAR; cd .. ; $VAR=`pwd`; echo $VAR but don't work [03:54] rogan: lemme guess, moving windows tears? [03:54] Hi, good night [03:54] scunizi, no.. I was able to access it a couple times in the beginning now it's inaccessible [03:54] someone here can help me with a strange problem? [03:54] hey, i just had one byzarre bug here in ubuntu remix for netbooks, i lost all mi panels and cant creat any new (the only form to creat new panels is using a old panel...) Tecnicaly this isnt suposed to hapen... But Hapened! [03:54] Davide: I'm not a pro, but I know that if I suspected a HD was about to die, with sensitive data on it, the first thing I'd do it unplug it and work out a plan to scan it. [03:54] xfurious: yeah pretty much everything is slow and jerky now [03:54] ok need help guys... my fresh install of jaunty ..has its firefox asking me for restarts ever 5 minutes [03:54] scunizi, sometimes I hear a loud clicking noise idk if it's the HD or the PSU [03:54] anyone? [03:55] rogan: what happened is that it is using the vanilla VGA driver [03:55] uncmar: have you used irssi to directly past a file here? like /exec cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit ??? works like a charm [03:55] hart1gan: the second time you give a value to "VAR" you still need to not have a $ sign, try this: "VAR=`pwd`; echo $VAR; cd .. ; VAR=`pwd`; echo $VAR" [03:55] scunizi, yeah, I have nothing sensitive on it.. :) [03:55] xfurious: yeah I figured, how can I revert to w/e was in use straight after install? [03:55] Anyone having Firefox issues on Jaunty fresh install? [03:55] is 'radeon' the best/fastest driver to use with a Radeon 9200 SE ? [03:55] Davide: open the case after shutting down and disconnect the driver .. pwr and ide cable.. then see if the noise goes away [03:55] inasmu nice man thanks. its work [03:55] hart1gan: you're welcome [03:56] scunizi the noise happens every once in a while.. as I'm using I' [03:56] rogan: and you said your xorg.conf is mostly empty? if so, use 'sudo X -configure', follow its instructions and if the test command works, move the config file it created onto your xorg.conf [03:56] 'll hear a loud click as if the system is gonna power down [03:56] Davide: loud clicking isn't good.. typically a failing drive [03:56] rogan: see if that helps. it should pick the 'ati' driver and restore what you had when you started off [03:56] hi folks. [03:56] hi [03:56] scunizi: no, I'm kind of new to irssi. been using it for months. However, I've only dug into linux about a year ago. Still a long way to go. Learn about screen, irssi, grep, sed, and I don't know how many other things in that time. [03:56] idk weird... I tested the rails with a multimeter... and they're fine [03:57] someone is free there? [03:57] xfurious: command not found [03:57] scunizi: Could you help me? I have got some problems with the Repo Servers. [03:57] xfurious: how can i change from the fglrx driver to the vesa...i think i need to try this as a last ditch [03:57] scunizi yeah probably the drive... [03:57] thanks for your help [03:57] Davide: Just accessing a physically damaged HD can make it worse. Might be better to cut your losses...in my experience. [03:57] uncmar: grep and sed are on my list.. and i've been at it for 3 years but using it in production work use without tons of time to play [03:58] Sutur I think I will... sometimes my system freezes completely as well and needs to be rebooted... would a failing hd cause that as well? [03:58] Can anyone help with getting ubuntu to recognize my web cam? When you get a chance that is :) [03:58] mnm87: not sure.. what's the problem [03:58] dmbfan: open up your xorg.conf, find the Driver "fglrx" line, change it to Driver "vesa" [03:58] sutur, oftern after the click noise happens [03:58] I'm on a system running xubuntu, ubuntu, and kubuntu (kde 4.2.2). I'm wanting to boot into xubuntu (xfce4) exclusively, use xfce's desktop, window manager, file manager (thunar)--and have thunar manage *all* file mgmt. issues--but am having problems. I turned off gnome compatibility, logged back in via kdm's gui login screen, and the x-server was restarted each time.

[03:58] I am trying to install through Synaptics [03:58] rogan: command 'X' is not found?? ermmm.... maybe you have to run it as Xorg in jaunty...? [03:58] I logged in via Failsafe, and did `startxfce4' on the command line. Here's the output of the terminal: http://rafb.net/p/EkrjAk38.html [03:59] Thank you very much :) [03:59] xfurious: i x-configure doesnt do anything [03:59] i just started using Ubuntu to see what the big deal is. had a few questions if anyone has the time. [03:59] Sutur, there's nothing important on it, it is a new installation was trying to put together a PVR/htpc from old parts ;) [03:59] maybe [03:59] try [03:59] scunizi: sed is a little more difficult. A sort of inline stream modifier. inline search and replace [03:59] rogan: all things in linux are case sensitive [03:59] rogan: its X not x [03:59] I checked the software sources too, there no more sources I could use [03:59] rogan: X is found [03:59] !ask | vtnwesley [03:59] vtnwesley: 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. :-) [03:59] but X -configre isnt [03:59] everythings returning with 404 [03:59] mnm87: server errors typically mean that you might want to use one of the menu items in synaptic to "find" the best server for you.. [03:59] rogan: and its not X-configure, its X -configure (note the space) [04:00] and be sure to run it as 'sudo X -configure' [04:00] mnm87: or you're not hooked to the internet [04:00] rogan: doesnt work either [04:00] Can anybody show me how to set lib4vl to flip my webcam input horizontally by default? [04:00] rogan: i tried all combinations [04:00] xfurious: when i nano xorg.conf its very empty [04:00] with xorg aswell [04:00] Davide: Dude, just bin it mate. You're positive which out of the two drives is making the noise? ;) [04:00] xfurious: use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:00] Whats wicked is my logitech camera works in ubuntu now, it never worked before! [04:00] i'm not very knowledeable on fsck, when fsck returns saying group descriptors look bad and fixes numerous things can I trust that or should I just format the drive and cut my losses? [04:00] PcTek9: Ah, thanks :) [04:00] ok, fair enough. thanks. is there any good way to verify that there are non-generic drivers that are fully functioning. I know video drivers seem to be a problem sometimes, but i am getting REALLY low performance, even in lowend games === william is now known as greedyb [04:00] xfurious: xorg.conf doesnt have any driver information i mean [04:00] OOP [04:00] oops [04:00] rogan: what tritium said: use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:00] hmmm, I seem to have the right driver... [04:00] rogan: that is a far better solution [04:00] Flash flickers for me. COuld someone help? [04:00] thank you tritium [04:00] xfurious: no problem [04:01] klepty: If fsck ALWAYS fixes something upon boot, then files are being lost constantly and you should backup ASAP [04:01] Sutur, no that's the problem... I assume it's the one I'm booting from because maybe that's what's causing the freezing. I'm gonna scrap that one, set the other as master, and reinstall on it... see what happens then [04:01] hardware damage imminent [04:01] Hi there [04:01] rogan: just did, it only edited input devices [04:01] vtnwesley: nvidia? ati? sis? intel? [04:01] Sutur, if that don't work I'll go for another HD [04:01] intel [04:01] rogan: Talking to yourself, I see? [04:01] The only people who should be using 64 bit linux are people with more 4gb of memory and a quad core processor. 32 bit linux is fine up to 4gb and works better. [04:01] scunizi do i pick the best servers from software sources list? [04:01] mnm87: hang on [04:01] Looce: fsck fixed an external drive [04:02] Davide: I' [04:02] scunizi sure [04:02] fsck errors: http://pastebin.com/m608da6e7 [04:02] rogan: yes as Looce is pointing out, if you put 'xfurious' in front of messages to me, i see them in red [04:02] Davide: Good plan. [04:02] xfurious: just did, it only edited input devices [04:02] OK I'll be back! [04:02] ;) [04:02] 64 bit linux is a beautiful idea that is not quite ready yet. [04:02] xfurious: yeah I know, I missed your name out in error [04:02] a brandnew external drive at that [04:02] xfurious: xorg.conf doesnt have any driver information i mean [04:02] rogan: so its still slow as ell after moving that temporary config file it made to /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [04:03] Hi everyone [04:03] please i need your help [04:03] how do I make an iso from a directory? [04:03] voss: also people that only use open source drivers.. Because 32bit closed source drivers dont always play nicely with 32bit compatability libraries. Infact most of the time the compatability libraries suck [04:03] mindmaster25: hello [04:03] Hello, mindmaster25. [04:03] rogan: ooops me forgets --- use that other command i gave: [04:03] xfurious: one sec, need to kill X [04:03] after an update to jaunty, holding the esc key doesnt work, i have to repress it each time i want to use an esc combination, instead of just holding it, so switching in irssi is a pain now [04:03] is there a way to see what kind of USB throughput im getting? [04:03] rogan: use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:03] voss what makes you say that, I run 64 bit on my laptop and desktop without problems now === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [04:03] voss: I've been using 64-bit linux as my primary OS since december 07 [04:03] flash was a problem, but that is now gone with flash 10 [04:03] xfurious: I did, it only configged the keybaord [04:03] egc: you mean to see if its running in USB2 or not? [04:03] Can any body help ... I wanna Connect To My Server With Ubuntu 8.04 [04:03] mnm87: in synaptic go to Settings/Repositories/Download From/Other/Select Best Server [04:04] look people i have installed ubuntu today and i dont unerstand the plataform yet.. im portuguese sorry the bad english [04:04] so... [04:04] xfurious: not exactly, but that may part of it [04:04] !ask | mindmaster25 [04:04] mindmaster25: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:04] kholerabbi1 try genisoimage [04:04] i have installed WINE aplicattion [04:04] Themixer_: Are you having difficulty connecting to a Windows Server from Ubuntu? [04:04] mnm87: thanks [04:04] and i have installed the STEAM [04:04] no [04:04] scunizi all my sources are checked :( [04:04] Themixer_: how do you want to connect? [04:04] xfurious: im curious if im getting around usb2 speeds though, like how many MB/s [04:04] I have intel video on the box i am using to test ubuntu . do i want to install an intel driver, or is whatever generic it's running on now be good enough? [04:04] for games lol [04:04] egc: 'dmesg' should mention whether things are in USB2 high speed mode. also the -ehci drivers are the ones that provide usb2 iirc [04:04] themixer what is your server running? [04:04] and i have download the counter strike [04:04] egc: im not aware of a particular tool to measure it exactly [04:04] but i have a problem [04:05] the counter strike [04:05] kholerabbi1 welcome [04:05] frezee when [04:05] xfurious: cool, ill check dmesg [04:05] is the 'radeon' driver the only choice for a Radeon 9200 SE ? [04:05] On Linux [04:05] i click in something [04:05] not windows server [04:05] vtnwesley: your drivers should be fine out of the box, as intels drivers are totally open source [04:05] mnm87: that's not what I told you to do.. I'm showing you where to tell synaptic to locate the best server for your location [04:05] ok... [04:05] Themixer_: ok, but what are you trying to connect to on your server? [04:05] !wine | mindmaster25 [04:05] mindmaster25: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [04:05] scunizi [04:05] ianm_: no, there is fglrx which is accelerated [04:05] I'm having a similar issue as Themixer_ only my server is Windows... [04:05] scunizi i will check [04:05] uncmar: You stil about? I seem to remember fragments of this stuff the last time I attempted. Don't I need to f**k with ssh_config or something? [04:05] mnm87: k [04:05] !appdb counter-strike [04:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:06] xfurious: does it work for a 9200 SE? [04:06] FTP , SSH [04:06] ubottu: wow, a bot with questions about an operating system around the theme of humans [04:06] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:06] i see, so then why would a lowend "super nintendo" esque game run so poorly on unbuntu? aside from the intel video, the specs are not bad. might it have just been the specific game? [04:06] 9.04 rocks! Keep up the great work! [04:06] oh it really is a bot isnt it [04:06] sakuramboo: yeeeeeeehaw! [04:06] xfurious: im thinking iostat(1) may do it [04:06] hello? [04:06] Its said can display [04:06] I'm still here. [04:06] Ever since Hardy, you guys converted me :) [04:06] !bot [04:06] sakuramboo: yeah, i think its a good step too. [04:06] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:07] sorry can = can [04:07] Themixer_: ok, what other deatils can you provide? [04:07] can´t [04:07] i need some help [04:07] ianm_: i dont know exactly what is supported by fglrx but it is the official ATI driver so it should [04:07] Looce: that drive you mentioned is an external drive http://pastebin.com/m608da6e7 <-- fsck errors [04:07] Sutur: I'm still here. [04:07] hi, i have a strange issue with wpa_supplicant [04:07] aww what the hell [04:07] hi, i cant change my partitions, the resize button locked. do you know what can i do? [04:07] On my Places Menu [04:07] i need help getting mopar server up on here [04:07] why is openoffice a dependency for unrelated language support packages [04:07] I found Connevt to server [04:07] anyone knows why my intel card doesn not work with it? [04:07] uncmar: Yeah, I'm still getting nowhere with this ENV setting. [04:07] klepty: try fsck again in one hour; if it says more errors, consider the drive damage and backup ASAP [04:07] Part_Of_What: you have to unmount the drive/partition before changing [04:07] [consider the drive damaged* and] [04:07] ianm, what video slot are you using? [04:08] Themixer_: are you on the same LAN? [04:08] what is the command for makedir? [04:08] MHz128: mkdir [04:08] mkdir [04:08] yes [04:08] scunizi: i cant unmount because it's a boot partition [04:08] ohh :P [04:08] Looce: ahh i hope not it is a brand new drive.. do you think the data on the drive is still 100%? [04:08] thanks :) [04:08] Sutur: you are trying to launch an X app onto the X display of the server from a remote SSH, correct? [04:08] Part_Of_What: then you have to do it from a live cd [04:08] dependencies in this release seem kinda funky [04:08] wait what did you mean with same Lan ? [04:08] anyone knows about wpa_supplicant? [04:08] Movie Player seems to crash when trying to run any media. Is there a known reason for this? [04:08] claytronic: I take it you know a thing or two about troubleshooting for network issue? [04:08] can any one help me? [04:09] do you mean On my server LAN ? [04:09] NOD62: yes [04:09] !ask | Tanner12181 [04:09] Tanner12181: just ask your question [04:09] Tanner12181: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:09] scunizi: so can i insert the alt installation cd for that or a live cd is a different one? [04:09] this is ridiculous that i can't authenticate [04:09] claytronic: May I bug you, after you finish helping that other fellow? [04:09] sathia: security is for the non-lazy :-P [04:09] voss: do you mean AGP, PCI, etc.? [04:09] ianm, is this a pci or agp card? [04:09] Yo, I downloaded the 9.04 ISO and burned a CD. I see it has wubi.exe on it. I'm running Windows and have a spare D: partition I want to reformat as ext4 and use for ubuntu. Can I run wubi.exe from this disk or must I boot from the CD? [04:09] uncmar: Yes, correct. All the commands reccomended here work on server. But the host won't seem to listen to the ENV settings I enter...it keeps giving me an error about being unable to open that display. [04:09] Part_Of_What: the live cd will boot into the ubuntu desktop.. the alternate doesn't [04:09] klepty: filesystem? [04:09] ext3 [04:09] voss: I'm not sure actually. it's a borrowed PC. is there a way to find out via software? [04:10] oh right, e2fsck [04:10] NOD62: sure [04:10] shouldn't be difficult, i guess it's a bug in the driver [04:10] skierpage: wubi does not use partitions, it installs ubuntu into a specially formatted file that acts like a partition [04:10] sathia: wait it works but doesnt accept authentication? is this a sudden problem or is it a new router / linux install? if your router / access point supports wireless protected setup, disable it and try again [04:10] a brand-new drive, well maybe you just unmounted it uncleanly last time [04:10] Sorry claytron I cant understand you here coz there lots of members [04:10] I assume the computer is like 6 or 7 years old am I correct? [04:10] Hi. I tried everything to change my desktop background. I don't get any error. It just doesn't change. What can I do? [04:10] voss: yeah it's kinda old [04:10] skierpage: You can use the spare partition. Wubi will give you the option to change the location of the file. You can place it on that partition. [04:10] * microlith throws stardict in the trash [04:10] can u give me some moments ? from your time [04:10] scunizi: regular ubuntu cd doesnt has live option? [04:10] uncmar: Even though the display is correct. [04:10] xfurious: looks like istat is about right. It's reporting 70.75 blocks/sec, and if a block is 512 bytes, then its 35480 bytes/sec, which is about right... ;) [04:10] Sutur: for some reason, you don't have permission to that desktop. That is usually a problem of being a different user. [04:10] xfurious: it works on XP and on another pc so it's ok, the problem is that when i launch wpa_supplicant I get an ioctl error [04:11] yah i think Image for Linux didn't unmount properly.. I am not sure if the data on the drive is 100% [04:11] uncmar: Hmm...try it as root? [04:11] Part_Of_What: the regular ubuntu desktop cd does but not the alternate install cd [04:11] klepty: it's not going to be bad I think, unless fsck says more errors of the same type in a later check [04:11] egc: cool, *me stores awsay for future reference* [04:11] #@$%#@$ [04:11] card is intel 4965 [04:11] microlith: calm down, please. [04:11] Sutur: you could try that... but I suggest finding an alternative even if that does work. [04:11] xfurious: iostat that is... [04:11] is there any way to ensure that OpenOffice is -ignored- as a dependency for everything? [04:11] klepty: the "group free-block count" is just an indication used by programs using the filesystem to see how much free space they have, and fsck can fix this permanently [04:11] thanks Looce: i guess i need to read up on fsck and know more about it [04:11] sathia: oohhh well that would be mismatch between kernel and supplicant off the top of my head, make sure you have all the latest updates [04:11] I need help I have dowloaded a driver to get an older type wacom tablet working on Ubuntu, serial , but I keep getting issues for the install, is there any advice? i have been on the wacom project website. [04:11] inasmu / corinth, ah, so I can use wubi to install ubuntu on D: but it will be some kind of squished file, not a proper file system? [04:11] uncmar: It didn't :) [04:12] sathia: if you have updated but not rebooted yet, you may need to reboot [04:12] Nobody knows how to change the desktop background in Gnome? Really? Please help [04:12] skierpage: Correct. [04:12] ianm, does the "radeon" driver not work? [04:12] xfurious: i'm on a 9.4 kubuntu and rebooted twice [04:12] Is there a difference between a LiveCD and an alternate cd? [04:12] corinth OK thanks, I'll reboot. BTW https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide isn't at all clear on that point. [04:12] scunizi: well, so what after that? just connent to the internet with my wireless and make gpart availble and run it creating another partition from the main boot one? [04:12] gasull: well theres like 50 ongoing problems and that one just seems strange . i mean you did try going to settings->preferences->desktop or whatever it is right? [04:12] When I enable automatic login, I get a gksu prompt before nm-applet will open. Doesn't come up if I disable automatic login, though. Suggestions? 9.04 [04:12] voss: it does work. I was hoping there was something faster [04:12] what a good download manager for ubuntu? [04:12] is there a way to move the new notifications default location? [04:12] gasull: right click on the background, "Change Desktop Background" select the new background, then Close [04:13] uncmar: Different error though. Something about invalid magic cookie key. [04:13] My graphics card makes x throw errors. Could anyone help me? [04:13] Gasull: To change the desktop background go to System>>Preferences>>Appearance. Then select the "Background tab" [04:13] corinth: have to use insecure passwords [04:13] Part_Of_What: you got most of it.. except for the internet portion. you don't need that. gparted is installed on the live cd. [04:13] microlith: Hm? [04:13] scunizi: graphic program of gparted? [04:13] corinth: I'm not sure how to reset it, but it initially asks you for a password for your keyring [04:13] Part_Of_What: yes [04:14] and the only way to not have nm-applet prompt you for the password on an auto-login (that I know of) is to set no password at all [04:14] microlith: Oh, yes. I know. I used no password for it. [04:14] Part_Of_What: under system/admin/partition manager [04:14] xfurious: I don't se a settings->preferences->desktop. I tried with System->Preferences->Appearance. It didn't work. (Using Ubuntu 8.04) [04:14] hi, i use 8.10, how can i learn that what is my sound card driver (oss or alsa?) [04:14] Sutur: I am familiar with that error as well. [04:14] fglrx drive doesnt work with that model anymore. Id say you need a newer video card if you want faster. [04:14] safruhani: it defaults at alsa.. [04:14] sakuramboo: I don't get any contextual menu right-clicking on the Desktop. [04:14] thank you scunizi [04:14] safruhani: Have you tested for them through the volume mixer? [04:14] uncmar: wtf does ssh have to do with cookies and magic!? [04:15] voss: yeah. darn [04:15] gasull: really? are you sure you have gnome [04:15] i think it's ridiculous that the network manager gives the option for wpa but it will never work [04:15] no [04:15] Sutur: so you were running as the correct user, but it is definately complaining that you have the wrong DISPLAY setting and it is case sensitive. [04:15] its System -> Preferences -> Appearance [04:15] can someone recommend a fully free (ie, without a clickwrap licence) java implimentation? I'm remastering a disk i might distribute [04:15] ianm, what are you trying to do video card wise? [04:15] ssh has nothing to do with the magic cookes. [04:15] Is it, then, impossible to upgrade from a livecd [04:15] JJSmith260: I tried that already. It didn't work and I don't get any error. [04:15] Sutur: ssh has nothing to do with the magic cookes. [04:15] safruhani: Well, like scunizi said... Its default is alsa. [04:15] xfurious: Yest, it's Gnome. [04:16] uncmar: lol [04:16] geek_, OpenJDK ? [04:16] uncmar: Sorry. [04:16] xfurious: I was using Xcfe for a while and went back to Gnome [04:16] scunizi: well thank you, i want then afterwards to install the system again from alt cd and i hope ill find the option to encrypt the entire hd, i guss it will not work well, and i'm not sure also how the boot partition will allow to make another partition of it because of the swap in the middle. i'm not even know what is this swap portion of the hd [04:16] uncmar: Correct user, correct display. [04:16] NOD62: i've learnt it by volume mixer, thanx a lot [04:16] Sutur: the magic cookes are simliar but different from gpg keys. [04:16] gasull: and you have icons on your desktop? but cant right click and get a menu? are you sure your right click button is working :-P [04:16] is there a way to move the new notifications default location? [04:16] My graphics card makes x throw errors. Could anyone help me? [04:16] skierpage: does that include plugins for firefox? [04:16] uncmar, Sutur it does it you are tying to run X apps via ssh on the server. Since the Auth will be all messed up. [04:16] xfurious: No, I don't see the icons in my desktop [04:16] gasull: alt+f2 'nautilus' i think [04:17] xfurious: What kind of icons is he looking for? [04:17] NOD62: his gnome desktop is not running so he cant change the wallpaper because there is none [04:17] dooner: ok, would it work if he ran them through screen? or launched into background? [04:17] dooner: That error only appeared as ROOT, which I shouldn't have to do... [04:17] xfurious: To see what I have in the desktop I have to go to Places->Desktop [04:17] xfurious: Woh, that's odd. :S [04:17] NOD62: do you use gnome? is 'nautilus' still responsibel for the desktop? [04:18] xfurious: Yes, I use it. [04:18] geek_, Google suggests there is an OpenJDK Firefox plugin, some reports of problems. [04:18] xfurious: Indeed, it does. [04:18] xfurious: I don't understand what you want me to do w/nautilus [04:18] good day [04:18] gasull: ok and you tried alt+f2 and ran 'nautilus' ? [04:18] xfurious: yes [04:18] I am cerious why xubuntu allows me to connect to wireless connections with my notebook but ubuntu does not [04:18] uncmar, Sutur I am trying to remember the way to make it work. I have tried to do it since the X moved to that new Auth scheme (IE its been a while) [04:18] xfurious: One moment, I'm going to prod around in the gconf-editor... [04:19] xfurious: It just opens a window [04:19] ubuntu dont even show networks as being availble [04:19] dabbill, xubuntu might use a different wifi client [04:19] gasull: open a terminal and type nautilus. if theres one error line, paste it, if theres a lot of output , use paste.ubuntu.com [04:19] xfurious: the file browser window [04:19] xfurious: it sounds like nautilus is running [04:19] voss do you know where i can check to find out? [04:19] skierpage: fair enough. I'll use sun java for the internal version and test openjdk later ;p [04:19] i've set my preferred terminal application to xterm, but when i use the keyboard shortcut to open a terminal, it keeps opening gnome-terminal. any ideas? [04:19] xfurious: Done. I don't get any error [04:19] Sarai: does it? no icons, i assume no wallpaper, no right clicking, and nautilus is running? [04:19] wow, I just discovered "gnome do" cool app! [04:19] dooner: Sutur: so his problems are coming from the fact that I have been using older installs. He is using newer. Gotcha. [04:19] gasgull: you don't use conky by chance do you? [04:19] Dose any one know how to get the Wireless work for a gateway laptop (first time user) [04:20] sd32: "gnome do" ? [04:20] Sarai: I don't know what's conky [04:20] hi [04:20] geek_ the plug-in might still be in the separate "Iced Tea" project that was completing the Java parts that weren't yet open sourced. Good luck. [04:20] uncmar, yeah its a launcher [04:20] gasull: it's a program that could cause the problems you are having, but you'd have to have installed it, which apparently you didn't do [04:20] Sarai: It doesn't seem to be in my system [04:20] good job on the new ubuntu. i love the improvements [04:20] Skybird, you need to find out the model of the wifi chipset that you're using first [04:20] Skybird, run lspci and look for anything wireless [04:21] uncmar: http://do.davebsd.com/ [04:21] xfurious: if there was a probkem with nautilus wouldn't he be unable to open navigation windows? [04:21] I've searched for this error but I can't find any help [04:21] anyone know why my volume control disappeared when I upgraded to jaunty? volume hotkeys inop too [04:21] or she, pardon me :) [04:21] uncmar, perhaps. he is also doing it backwards :) Normally you connect to the server and then run X on you machine and export your DISPLAY back. getting the window to display on the server you are ssh'd has always been odd once stuff moved to the magic cookie stuff [04:22] How can I run from the command line the program that changes the desktop background? [04:22] how do i get the volume control in jaunty [04:22] ??? [04:22] Sarai, gasull: i think its more likely that the system was shut down without removing a lock file which nautilus would check to see whether to start as desktop or as file browser [04:22] gasull: you are so full of questions today [04:22] hello i am starting up with 9.04... i tried compiling xchat and came back with an error re: GLIB [04:22] xfurious: that sounds logical [04:22] Is it possible to install Ubuntu from SD card? [04:22] My graphics card makes x throw errors. Could anyone help me? [04:22] anyone know what file nautilus uses to check if it should be the desktop? [04:22] xfurious: Will it be fixed rebooting? [04:22] wrektjet, xchat is in the repositories [04:22] wrektjet, sudo apt-get install xchat [04:23] only xchat gnome striupped version === nicolas_ is now known as Guest58001 [04:23] PlasmaSheep: what graphics card? what drivers? what errors? and i need more coffee. [04:23] Ante_Smith: Just one problem. May questions :-) [04:23] dooner: Typing echo $DISPLAY on the host returns, guess what? The correct display... [04:23] only eclipse 3.2.2 is getting installed through apt-get, latest is 3.4... any ideas? [04:23] xfurious: intel card. [04:23] uncmar, Sutur it has to do with xauth, but I am not remembering exactly what the procedure for getting it to workis. [04:23] wrektjet, there's xchat and xchat-gnome in the repos [04:23] usser: oh i will see what happens thnx [04:23] does anyone know jaunty volume controls in here i cant get the answer anywhere else [04:23] xfurious: google is god... take a look at this : http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/nautilusgnome-desktop-battle/7304.html [04:23] dooner: So just running gedit ought to open the application on the server anyway? Is that right? [04:23] dooner: OK. [04:24] Sutur, what exactly are you trying to do? [04:24] I'll try rebooting my machines. Thanks everybody. [04:24] psychic: have you tried right mouse clicking the top bar and "adding" it back [04:24] if i run top, i can only see output for 1 core? [04:24] gasgull: be sure to come back if it doesn't work, I guess [04:24] dooner: initial was to launch vlc. I think. [04:24] usser: well that was straightforward [04:24] wrektjet, it sure is :) [04:25] Usser, where do i find that? [04:25] egc: you might try mtop [04:25] Sutur, well it will try to connect to the X Server pointed to by $DISPLAY, but I think that authorization isn't getting set right [04:25] Skybird, find what? [04:25] i havent used ubuntu in a couple of months i forgot about sudo apt-get [04:25] ieatnoobs: thanks fo rthe tip with the bootable gparted, works perfect:D [04:25] scunizi: thanks, ill check that out [04:25] no thanks i'll try that [04:25] Skybird, applications->accessories->terminal [04:26] dooner: So it's a matter of authority. And your looking for what needs to be changed. [04:26] wrektjet, good god what do you use that forces you to compile stuff [04:26] Sutur, What you might look into is x2x ? Which can be set to just transfer your key/mouse control over to the other machine, so you could just use it that way. [04:26] for some reason my Xdefaults file is not being read in jaunty. any ideas? [04:26] Sutur, yes I believe that to be the case. === Guest58001 is now known as NicolasXS [04:26] is there a way, with "apt-get source" to get me the URL it wants to download rather than download the package itself? [04:27] nothing i forgot that u dont have to install things like a moron. i once had to compile for hours trying to get a game to work though. [04:27] lowlycoder: try -s [04:27] dooner: I'm actually using SSH on an HTC Touch Pro using a modified version of pocketputty. [04:27] Sarai: but that question doesnt mention not having any desktop icons or wallpaper or context menus [04:27] geek_: didn't give me url [04:27] dooner: Is that at all relevant? [04:27] how would one recover their su password [04:27] anyone here start with ubuntu, like it, and decided to install kde? if so, any performance hit having both DE's installed? [04:27] * xfurious afk -- bbs [04:28] any "stability" issues, having both DE's? [04:28] I've got what feels like a semi-dumb question, but, if I were to edit the connection settings, and designate this computer to always be "192.168.1.*", would I have to disable DHCP on the router, and manually set all the other computers on the network, or would the settings on the machine override the router's DHCP? [04:28] Sutur, ahh gotcha, but nope that probably isn't relevant, unless the ssh client is trying to do X11 Forwarding [04:28] binskipy2u, only instability is a mess of applications from different desktops that you will have [04:28] (how do you look at the hardware on your system) [04:28] sync350: not needed. [04:28] binskipy2u: not really.. occational weirdness but that was two releases ago [04:28] Hey is there a way to upgrade with auto-answering any questions as the default? [04:28] xfurious: I was looking for ways to change the default desktop manager [04:28] it's annoying to come back after hours only to find it stuck on an upgrade question. :) [04:28] sync350, is 192.168.1.* your current DHCP scope? [04:28] dooner: Or at least appears to have been configured that way. [04:28] wrektjet: sudo lshw [04:28] hi everybody, i'm new to linux and i have a problem with mediatomb and that is: i was able to install it and get it detected from my ps3 but i get "unsupported data" on most of the videos on the ps3; but, if i copy it on the usb and move it on to ps3, the videos work fine [04:29] since it isn't picking nautilus by default [04:29] sync350: you can set a static IP for just that machine and not affect the rest of the network. As long as that IP never conflicts with another machine. [04:29] sync350, setting on the machine will overwrite the routers but thats bad because router wouldnt know that the ip is actually in use and may decide to assign the same ip to another machine on the network === smartasstronaut is now known as smartasstroAWAY [04:29] sync350, thats why there's a dhcp range in router's settings usually [04:29] thanks scunizi wasnt there somnething in the system menu [04:29] sync350, it would be wise to pick the static ip that is outside this range as to not confuse the router [04:29] sync350: routers can generally be set to know certain IPs are special, try looking at the options [04:29] usser, uncmar, thank you :) I totally overlooked the ranges [04:29] mimiloon, you might need to adjust the mappings in mediatomb to tell it what type of files they are. [04:30] wrektjet: there use to be in Dapper but I think it's been gone for a while [04:30] Thank ya'll for the quick responses :) Way better than I had with the opensuse community :) [04:30] Just installed xubuntu 9.04, had ubuntu 8.10 - Intrepid found restricted drivers for Radeon 9550 AGP card but Xubuntu 9.04 not available in restricted drivers... Screen is shifted to the right just a hair, the restricted drivers fixed it in Intrepid 8.10, any advice? [04:30] Sutur, i am trying to remember how to get the connection authorized to connect to the X server . [04:30] sync350: that's cause we are smarter. JK. [04:31] dooner: OK. [04:31] uncmar, lol, possibly true :) [04:31] are there fglrx drivers available yet for 9.04? [04:31] dooner: how can i do that because i'm completely lost [04:31] Whoever told me to use the natilus-cdburner pack: Thank you. [04:31] search for in apt-cache search xxxx [04:31] I didn't see fglrx for 9.04 [04:32] xorg-driver-fglrx [04:32] What should this do? sudo gedit /var/www/testphp.php === JEEB__ is now known as JEEB [04:32] andrewfree: open the file testphp.php in gedit with root permission to edit. [04:32] nibsa1242 apt-cache search fglrx [04:32] miklcct: is that know to work? it borked my system when I installed it. I had to boot to recovery mode and remove it [04:32] andrewfree: should be with a gksudo .. but it will edit the testphp.php file [04:32] mmkay is there anyone who i was helping that is still here and having troubles? [04:33] hmm it says its not a valid command [04:33] have you guys been experiencing frequent firefox segfaults with 9.04 amd64? [04:33] mimiloon, well I not sure where the config.xml winds up in ubuntu (my media tomb servers are opensolaris) but in the config.xml there are some options that need to be uncommented to make the PS3 work [04:33] How would I go about checking for xorg-driver-fglrx? [04:33] the file should be there from "sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5" [04:33] herm. [04:33] Xorg is taking huge % of my CPU since updating to 9.04 :( [04:33] There is a conflict between fglrx module and 'radeon' driver. You must boot into recovery mode and run 'aticonfig --initial' [04:33] B: does /etc/lib/xorg/modules/driver/driver_fglrx.so exist? [04:33] B: i mean fglrx_drv.so [04:33] thanks miklcct... I'm doing that now [04:33] mimiloon: locate config.xml - might find the file. [04:34] * kendrick turns off compositing effects to see if that helps [04:34] anyone know what the deal is with thinkpads and the volume buttons in jaunty? [04:34] id like to access my "root" folder via the gui to access my files from xp but im getting denied. dio u have to sudo into it from terminal? [04:34] One question 'afore I reboot into the CD installer. In Windows I made an empty 27GB D: partition for Ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html makes it sound like Ubuntu will slice that into root-home-swap partitions. Will these then show up as Windows D:, E:, F: ? E: is currently my CD-ROM, F: my USB drive, etc. [04:34] uncmar: Might need to updatedb first? [04:34] The default ones are in use now, I'm not sure what they are called [04:34] Sutur, on the server (console) try typing xhost + local: [04:34] okay, so my firefox window went weird and now I cant move it because the top part of the window is too far to grab....how can i move it now? [04:34] dooner: OK. [04:34] wrektjet: you need to have a certain option set let me find it for you [04:34] Sutur, you will need to do that when not connected via ssh [04:34] kendrick: Reboot and install driver if the problem persists [04:35] wrektjet: that doesn't make sense.. why do you need to access the root to get the the xp stuff? [04:35] skierpage: no, windows does not natively recognize anything but fat/ntfs file systems [04:35] i think thats where the files r [04:35] dooner: So close the connection and shut down SSH server? [04:35] Ciros: hold the Alt key and click to move [04:35] Ciros: hold down the ALT key. click anywhere in the window drag it down... [04:35] wrektjet: add the 'uid=1000' option, where 1000 is your uid number to the optiosn for your ntfs mount [04:35] dooner: Or just close connection? [04:35] wrektjet: and also the 'user' option [04:35] timo: hrm? which driver? [04:35] Ciros: i even have a tool that emulates that 'feture' in windows :) [04:35] skierpage: yes, they probably will, but you won't be able to read files on them as windows won't recognize the file system [04:35] Sutur, you shouldn't have to do either [04:35] w00t thanks :D [04:35] xfur: So fglrx_drv.so.. where would I find, synaptic? [04:35] wrektjet: no.. the xp partition you'll have to mount then it will be accessable from the gui in computer or in terminal at /media/ [04:35] it was annoying lol [04:36] kendrick: For you video card mate [04:36] i'm currently using "intel" driver. i ran Kubuntu for 6 months without swithcing it to that, not realizing my video card was accelerated. [04:36] Sutur, but you need to actually be on the server console, something that can run X programs and connect (IE is already auth'd in). [04:36] (this is a Dell 1525 that shipped with Ubuntu, btw) === Blizzerand is now known as Blizzerand__ [04:36] B: please use 'xfurious' in front so that my client makes the messag ered, you should be able to type xfur and press TAB to complete it. but just look in the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/driver folder for it [04:36] dooner: "non-network local connections being added to access control list" [04:36] timo: well, presumably I _have_ a video driver, since I'm in X, right? :) [04:36] !tab | B [04:36] B: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:36] anyway, i switched to Intel when i was trying to get S-Video out to work to watch a video on my TV set. [04:36] dooner: So try again I assume? [04:36] Sutur, ok now try to run the command via ssh with the DISPLAY set [04:36] dooner: OK. [04:37] I need help [04:37] kendrick: yeh [04:37] xfurious, will try [04:37] nibsal242 , thanks. I guess I'll find out which Windows programs don't like drive letters shifting ;-) [04:37] somebody respond [04:37] xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed [04:37] so I can tell you the issue [04:37] Linuz2009: just post your problem [04:37] dooner: You=genius. [04:37] Linuz2009: just ask, dont ask to ask [04:37] I meant a driver that makes the most of you card [04:37] scunizi, i dont follow what you are saying [04:37] Thamls to you too uncmar. [04:37] ubottu, thanks, first time using this chat [04:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:37] okay...my speaker doesn't play any sound [04:38] dooner: So what exactly have I done? [04:38] Linuz2009: are they plugged in and turned on? [04:38] I can send you my computer information [04:38] Linuz2009, plug it in [04:38] Sutur: you are welcome. [04:38] Sutur, I don't know about genius :) I know need to remember how to make it perm :) [04:38] Linuz2009: is there a volume icon in your system tray? if so, does it let you change the volume? [04:38] timo: so where do i find one? :^D [04:38] Linuz2009: Make sure your speakers are plugged in and turned on, and run 'alsamixer' to tune the volume up. [04:38] its on, and its up [04:38] wrektjet: if you're dual booting then xp will be on it's own partition. Mounting that partition is how you access it.. I'll have ubottu send a link about it. [04:38] I'm using Pulse Audio [04:38] not ALSA [04:38] Sutur, you told the xauth system to allow all local non network connections to be accepted. [04:38] !mount | wrektjet [04:39] wrektjet: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [04:39] i mean, compositing and stuff works. it's just since the upgrade, the system seems sluggish. 'top' sorted by cpu usage shows Xorg near the top [04:39] The type in 'speaker-test' in the terminal. [04:39] even when nothing interesting is going on :) [04:39] Linuz2009: ok so there is a voluem icon, and you can change the volume. this means there is a driver for your audio. make sure to look at the advanced controls to see all your volume sliders, and make sure they are all up [04:39] !fstab | wrektjet [04:39] kendrick: its located at system>administration > Hardware drivers [04:39] wrektjet: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [04:39] kendrick: I also noticed a frame-rate drop for window appearance effects on Jaunty's free driver [04:39] Does anyone know if the new version of Ubuntu supports the Atheros AR5007EG out of the box? [04:39] dooner: i got the config file open... i don't know what to do next [04:39] dooner: Cool. So because it's local it's not really a security flaw? [04:39] I've changed the volume but there's still no sound when I pull the slide up [04:39] Sutur, what was happening was when you where ssh'd in, is that the X server was denying the connection due to the auth being wrong [04:39] Looce: free driver for intel gfx chips? [04:40] kendrick: it used to be smooth, but now it's a wonder if it goes to 6 FPS [04:40] kendrick: I also had those issue this is the way i solved them [04:40] timo: *blush* i'm on Kubuntu :) [04:40] Sutur, the xhost + local: just told it to not use auth for locally connected apps [04:40] Set my sound perference to autodetect [04:40] * xfurious brb again -- a much needed break after this much question-answering. my drive to teach is making me addicted to this damn channel [04:40] i seriously get lost in KDE's K menu since KDE4 :( [04:40] Sound Capture to ALSA [04:40] benjgvps: the atheros adaptor in my aspire one worked right away on 9.04 [04:40] Sutur, correct, the X server isn't listening on the network, and if they can ssh it, you've got bigger issues :") [04:40] kendrick: intel corporation 82945g integrated graphics [04:41] xfurious, I see radeon drivers in there but no fglrx driver [04:41] so, yes to your question :) [04:41] Default mixer track as my sound card [04:41] i believe mine is a 956GM. [04:41] install everything before [04:41] heh sorry, yeah, dumb question :D [04:41] microlith, Thanks, that is the computer I am actully thinking of using it with. Any other driver issues with the One? [04:41] any Windows dual-booters here? Instead of a /home partition would it be insane to make my ubuntu /home/skierpage a symbolic link to /media/ntfsDriveC/Documents\ and\ Settings/Skierpage ? [04:41] dooner: Cool. I can research the command just entered and find a way to make it permanent. So I'm done here. Thanks again mate. [04:41] how do i remove completly kubuntu desktop, when i first installed it was something like 450mb and now in the terminal when I do 'sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop' is only wants to remove about 40mb. I am new to linux and still trying to get around it.... [04:41] benjgvps: not really, hit up https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AA1/Using after the install [04:42] B: if you want to use fglrx, you can use the restricted driver manager to install it for you [04:42] some performance boosts and a module that makes the wifi's LED work [04:42] mimiloon, ok now that you have it open, look for a line like ... [04:42] marcelo: google "pure gnome" === PhotoJim is now known as PhotoJim_ [04:42] Hello! Does anyone know how to correctly install dial up modem driver on toshiba satellite for Ubuntu 8.10??? I tried different packages from Linuxant.com, tried a hybrid method wih Dell files but it doesn't work. Modem is still not being detected by Gnome PPP. If anyone can help, It would be great! Thanks in advance for your consideration. =) [04:42] mimiloon, and [04:42] scunizi: ok [04:42] Sutur, glad I could finally remember how to do it :) [04:43] xfurious, for some reason that wasn't coming up in xubuntu 9.04 when I opened system, hardware drivers [04:43] crap baby woke up :( [04:43] brb [04:43] Sutur, Been a while since I'v had to muck too much with xauth stuff.. [04:43] marcelo: kubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, which means it installs everything it needs, but doesn't remove everything, just in case you still want the provided packages. Try running "apt-get autoremove" [04:43] rockyyie [04:43] LAZERBOYE: I would have to assume that make and model of the modem is most important. The satelilite is a laptop, so make and model will be needed. [04:44] My wife is about to kick me off of here! I installed 9.04 on upgrade from 8.10 and now after reboot the logon screen wont allow my previous user credentials. [04:44] xfurious, I had no problem getting it with ubuntu 8.10, but this computer is old, so better suited for xubuntu [04:44] Hey how do I prevent my external monitor from going blank when I close my laptop lid? I'm using the nvidia driver (if it matters). [04:44] B: oh, well if the RDM isnt working, you could do sudo apt-get install xorg-drivers-fglrx, no? [04:44] looce: ok [04:44] my bluetooth mouse doesn't get detected, and the community documentation is out of date (and yes i've tried it with no luck). this is on 9.04. can anyone help? i hate using vista. [04:44] mimiloon, In a default config.xml there should be telling you which to uncomment to make the PS3 happy. [04:44] What do I do? [04:44] xfurious, I will attempt that, much appreciated [04:45] G'day All, anyone know where the gnome panel applets are kept now? I have a 3rd party panel applet I run and after install it does not come up in the add to panel list, whereas in 8.10 it does [04:45] I'm not able to login to xubuntu/xfce4 from the kdm login gui without the X server resetting. I can, however, login via the kdm failsafe terminal using `startxfce4' . Here's the output of the terminal: http://rafb.net/p/4id4Q231.html [04:45] Oops, I am using 9.04 [04:46] "Please, before you edit system files, make a backup. The -B flag with nano will make a backup automatically". can someone tell me how to do that exactly? [04:46] wrektjet: nano -B filename, in a terminal [04:46] Hi. I have a problem with UNR 9.04. After install a deb, the wifi stop working. I add ath5k to /etc/modules, but ifconfig do not report the wireless card. Please some advise. [04:46] wrektjet, Open a terminal and type man nano [04:46] My wife is about to kick me off of here! I installed 9.04 on upgrade from 8.10 and now after reboot the logon screen wont allow my previous user credentials. Can anyone help me with this? I have tried putting previous user name and pass in, no user name or pass.... etc [04:46] I just opened a terminal, tried that and got this:Reading package lists...

[04:47] how does everyone in here like 9.04 so far? [04:47] dooner: i didn't find this line "" but i found the other one and uncomment that [04:47] I'm downloading it now [04:47] sorry [04:47] Swish, it is good, much faster [04:47] Mechdave, so how do i save a copy again? [04:47] Mechdave, oo :) [04:47] -b [04:47] mimiloon, well add the protocolInfo extend line as well [04:47] Swish: it boots amazingly fast... don't know what they done to do that.. other than that, it seems stable to me [04:47] Mechdave, desktop or server edition? [04:47] Swish, desktop [04:47] IndyGunFreak, same question.. desktop or server? [04:47] mimiloon, should be in the server section [04:48] Swish: I like the fact that I'm not running it. Lots of chatter in here scares me from it for now. [04:48] I'm grabbing the desktop edition for now [04:48] Swish: desktop.. 32bit [04:48] xfurious, did you see how it couldn't find? I think they stopped supporting the older AGP card that I have [04:48] uncmar hehe [04:48] Swish, I love it :D It's much more responsive other than the Compiz frames-per-second issue I have [04:48] This is bogus. My wife is trying to give me the boot and I cant even get some nerd love here. [04:48] wrektjet, if you go Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [04:48] hey guys is there a tor package for jaunty? [04:48] Where is the compiz settings manager? [04:48] -B (--backup) [04:48] When saving a file, back up the previous version of it to the [04:48] uncmar, when 8.04LTS came out initially, I waited a month before installing it on our servers at work just to be sure :) [04:48] current filename suffixed with a ~. [04:48] Mechdave, do i save it under the same directory [04:49] Swish, so far so good on 9.04 (on both my Desktop 64bit) and my Netbook (UNR/EXT4) ) [04:49] wrektjet, that will open a terminal, after that you type into the terminal "man nano" (without the quotes) [04:49] Swish, been running it since RC. [04:49] Swish: I have dl'd it. probably will attempt it on a USB jump for my thinclient system. Still need a linux that detects the wifi automatically. [04:49] dooner: i used the "find" command to find that line but couldn't locate it [04:49] Hey!, what's up with the screen feature on the ubuntu 9.04? [04:49] wrektjet, that will give you the manual page for nano, read it and then come back to us if you still don't understand :) [04:49] uncmar: HAHAAHA! [04:49] gives me some crazy lookin stuff at the bottom [04:50] no no i know nano basics. i just cant figure out what to save the the file as [04:50] mimiloon, so copy and paste it somehwere between and [04:50] hatah, i have no issues with screen.. running a couple of detatched sessions at the moment [04:50] wrektjet, you can save it wherever you like, if you are changing config files I would recommend you save it in the same directory as the original config file [04:50] GodTodd he means the clock, load etc [04:50] It's not so much as an issue, but at the bottom it shows my cpu / ram usage [04:50] only started after the ugrade [04:51] B: im sorry, its xorg-driver-fglrx, and not xorg-drivers-fglrx [04:51] my bluetooth mouse doesn't get detected, and the community documentation doesn't lead me anywhere. this is on 9.04. can anyone help? [04:51] my dyndns.com ddclient is not running and giving the following errors. http://pastebin.com/m18274ac6 can any one help please ?

Working fine so far. [04:52] Hi again. I was here earlier...still need help with getting my webcam to work.. when someone gets chance. Thanx [04:52] wrektjet, you will need to use sudo to edit that file [04:52] bitter_twitter, are you running 8.10 LTS? [04:52] malduin, good to hear :) [04:52] codelearner, are you asking? https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/switching/dualboot.html helps [04:52] virtualbox ? [04:52] wrektjet, eg: sudo nano -B /etc/fstab [04:52] wrektjet: first back it up, then use sudo gedit /etc/fstab to change the file. [04:52] oh sudo nano [04:53] yeesh thanks [04:53] thanks Skierpage [04:53] theuser1 possibly no permissions to write those files [04:53] dooner, sorry i dont know about LTS [04:53] wrektjet, yep, no worries [04:53] it always comes back to sudo with me [04:53] dooner, how can i check ?

[05:02] lazermann go to.... [05:02] Need some help from the experts... When I try to disable keyboard repeat from the terminal, using "xset -r" I then get hit with an unending stream of Enter Key presses and I can't stop it. [05:02] it forces me to reboot [05:02] to clear it [05:02] does this sound about right for an fstab mounting: /dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_AU.utf8 [05:03] lazermann message me...

[05:03] IndyGunFreak: how [05:03] Swish: its downloading something related to jaunty, i think this is it... thanks !! :) [05:03] Does xset -r not working anymore? [05:03] theuser1: sys/pref/startup applications [05:03] theuser1 got it to work? [05:04] bitter_twitter, welcome :) [05:04] theuser1: if you're wanting it to happen on *boot*, not *login*, read about "cron" [05:04] buptlpf: i'll have a look at link hold on [05:04] gm|lap: you're absolutely correct, i was thinking on login [05:04] theuser1: there are a few places... What level? [05:04] man xset [05:04] what about init.d or rclocal IndyGunFreak gm|lap uncmar [05:04] theuser1: are you just wanting it to start when you log in? [05:04] if i reformat a drive does it always create the fs as root-owned? [05:05] IndyGunFreak: i want it to run at sys boot [05:05] theuser1: ok.. disregard, i misunderstood the question. [05:05] -r on? [05:05] B: im not sure, but after its back you should be able to login, open a terminal, and type glxgears. if its got a high framerate (more than 500 bare minimum, then its probably working) [05:05] in other words, is there a way to avoid having to go in and chown the fs on the external drive later? [05:05] sebsebseb: I have not met wireless issue in 8.10...I am considering if i need go back to 810 [05:05] I need help. I want to play a DVD in VLC [05:05] egc: yes [05:05] thechris_: install libdvdcss2 [05:05] oz1mar: Its the xset r off that makes it go crazy [05:05] and get "libdvdread: Invalid main menu IFO" [05:05] egc: except what's in /home [05:05] theuser1: then I think that falls under init.d scripts. but I don't recall exactly how. [05:06] hmm [05:06] B: if you arent sure, maximize the glxgears window, which will make the framerate slow much more [05:06] I wouldn't type that tho or you'll lose keyboard [05:06] thechris_: add the medibuntu repo, then install libdvdcss2.. [05:06] does anyone know how to get the reminder that a program is running to go away when you close the terminal in 9.04? === vij_ is now known as codelearner [05:06] ok [05:06] buptlpf: well I expect you didn't even do 9.04 on Ext4? [05:06] scunizi: i have an external USB drive that i formatted with gPartEd and it always seems to make the fs as root-owned... [05:06] IndyGunFreak: libdvdcss2 is not available but is reffered to by another package [05:07] thechris_: did you listen to a word i said?... add the medibuntu repo [05:07] theuser1: actually, i think you'll need to look into /etc/init.d and /etc/rc2.d (SysV boot) [05:07] buptlpf: I gave the link a brief look, looks like there aren't really any fixes yet [05:07] buptlpf: that are available in the Ubuntu repo [05:07] !medibuntu | thechris_ [05:07] how do I get hardware acceleration for my X200M graphics in 9.04? [05:07] thechris_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:07] even if i run GPartEd as me... [05:07] egc: that you can change. using chown and chmod.. if you what the drive accessable by any machine/anyone then chmod 777 the drive [05:07] or you could do 744 and make it read only [05:08] 777 means they can change stuff :( [05:08] scunizi: yeah, i ended up doing that... [05:08] theuser1: i think you can use /etc/rc.local as a script [05:08] buptlpf: going back to 8.10 would be alright, not that much in 9.04 anyway, nothing worth it as such, except Ext4 for those that have that set up [05:08] hey guys [05:08] egc: 777 means anyone anywhere can change it.. [05:08] and run it [05:08] buptlpf: 8.10 has another year of suppourt. and 9.10 is out end of October [05:08] yep [05:08] (or, if it's a folder, they can enter it) [05:08] need help please. i just upgraded to 9.04 and unable to install Miro. get the following error,miro: Depends: python (< 2.6) but 2.6.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [05:08] is ext4 superior to ext3? [05:08] does anyone know how to get the reminder that a program is running to go away when you close the terminal in 9.04? [05:08] scunizi: ok thanks [05:08] since the new update, when ever I run screen, it looks likes this http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/8563/screenshota.png : can anyone help?

[05:09] evilbug: it's not 100% stable in 9.04 yet though [05:09] what i meant to ask is how do i make my ntfs partition automatically mount ion startup [05:09] you see the white bar at the bottom?

[05:09] !fstab wrektjet [05:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about fstab wrektjet [05:10] wrektjet: if you edited fstab file properly.. it will auto mount at boot up [05:10] sebsebseb: Ok,thanks for your kindly help [05:10] !fstab > wrektjet [05:10] wrektjet, please see my private message [05:10] evilbug, I am running in on my netbook and haven't had any issues, haven't enabled it on my workstation yet [05:10] wrektjet: if it's in fstab, it should happen at boot time [05:10] evilbug: and you need to clean install for full suppourt [05:10] it's annoying, Is there a way to remove it? [05:10] hatah: yep.. looks like it has something to do with the theme you're using [05:10] oh cool thnx [05:10] wrektjet: try umounting it, then 'mount -a' - if that remounts it, it'll mount at boot [05:10] sebsebseb- was planning on that. [05:10] I'm not running a theme, so to speak. [05:10] IndyGunFreak: well that didnt work. [05:10] sebsebseb: who let you in here? [05:10] buptlpf: this computer I will clean install and do 9.04 with Ext4 soonish. I been trying when in development. the other computer is either staying 8.04 or going 8.10, probably going 8.10, but 9.04 nah [05:10] dooner- it's fine, it's not my main os so i can afford to break it and reinstall a bunch.

I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 in my system and have tried installing drivers through the Hardware Drivers and direct by downloading the drivers from NVIDIA. It seems when I run glxgears I'm only getting approx 2000 fps when I was getting approx 7000 in intrepid. Any insight? [05:15] and exaile [05:16] my flash is not working anymore. [05:16] arrrghhh, I had the same problem [05:16] yep it automatically mounteed [05:16] Ji was curious if anyone knew why my wifi card is being identified as eth2 and not wlan*. It seems to be screwing up a few things because of this. I checked the persistent rules and what not. [05:16] I just reinstalled it and rebooted and it works fine now [05:16] and i HAVE the restricted-extras problem. do i need to symlink that .so file? [05:16] i forget what it was. [05:16] which player has a beter library management then wmp11? [05:16] digitalchemist yeah there is none listed at all in there. except for a bunch of corporate ones..... [05:16] Audacity is very good for editing music files [05:16] leachim6, flash specifically, or the restricted extras package> [05:16] yes it is [05:16] how do I get rid of my customized GUI settings and just use the default GUI that ubuntu sets up? [05:16] codelearner: try Banshee :) try amarok, try rythombox [05:16] k new question... what do you do, in a dual boot situation, to make ubuntu the default and start after 3 seconds instead of xp after 30? [05:16] kevlyn: glxgears isn't a true representation of FPS.. but it is a good way of seeing if the driver is loaded correctly [05:16] codelearner: well maybe not the last two, but Banshee :) [05:16] @maxxist: mine is listed under 'Servers' tab [05:16] arrrghhh, I used the flashplayer-nonfree package and it worked fine [05:16] wrektjet: change menu.list [05:17] ok :) [05:17] but can someone help me here?

[05:17] I've heard banshee recommended a lot, so I hope it's good :) [05:17] wrektjet: where the OS's are mentioned, have Ubuntu at the top [05:17] scunizi, I understand that but was curious why there was such a difference between intrepid and jaunty [05:17] leachim6, and you have to reboot? [05:17] epicreviews: yep rather good :) [05:17] reflous: so will removing all the dot files (incl. directories) in your home. but that will probably lose other stuff too [05:17] @maxxist: maybe try the 'Add Exception' button and put in the address for your router if there's nothing listed in the 'Servers' tab [05:17] I have a directory in my trash that's locked/read-only so I cannot delete it. How can I empty my trash with sudo in terminal? [05:17] arrrghhh, well I have no idea why it worked...but it worked fine after I rebooted [05:18] #kelate [05:18] reflous: i would suggest backing it up or simply renameing it though. Likely to cause other problems. [05:18] i have pasted a message onto the http://paste site, can someone look into it? [05:18] uncmar: none of the settings are in .gdm/ [05:18] does it show album art? [05:18] Banshee works well with iPod and integrates well with last.fm [05:18] can I use Catalyst 9.3 with Jaunty? [05:18] leachim6, hrm... well i'll try it i guess. [05:18] nibsa1242, why wouldn't you be able to...CPAN is not distro dependant [05:18] dooglus, yeah can't do that, I'm surprised there isn't an easier way [05:18] kevlyn: no idea.. are you currently using the driver you got direct from nvidia? and is it the 180.5x? [05:18] how much of a performance loss is there if i use ubuntu installed via wubi, versus on its own partition? [05:18] can I use ATI Catalyst 9.3 with Jaunty? [05:18] dooglus: learn something new every day. [05:19] i have pasted a message onto the http://paste site, can someone look into it? [05:19] nibsa1242, OHHHHH [05:19] reflous: it's in things like ~/.gtk*/ [05:19] nibsa1242, you'll have to be more specific haha [05:19] nibsa1242, I have no idea about that one [05:19] DVS01: depends. apparnatlly Wubi uses the Ext2 file system. instead of the better Ext3 or even better Ext4 [05:19] digitalchemist good idea. same results. [05:19] dooglus, what if I load kde & switch back to gnome would that work? [05:19] DVS01: also if Windows is all fragmented, wubi could be slow [05:19] reflous: nope [05:19] The file is owned by root, so if I make it mine then I can delete it, right? Then how to do that :) [05:19] sebsebseb, well...that's debatable...while ext2-4 are all DIFFERENT....IDK if any one is better [05:19] DVS01: and of course if Windows messes up properly enough with a virus or whatever, Ubuntu will as well [05:19] they all have they're pros and cons [05:19] sebastien: other than that, does the extra layer of storage cause any significant performance loss? [05:20] @maxxist: not sure where to go from there... are you using http or https? [05:20] Anyone here successfully paired a mighty mouse in ubuntu? [05:20] reflous: you could try switching to kde, renaming ~/.gtk to ~/.gtk.dis and ~/.gtk2 to ~/.gtk2.dis and so forth for anything gtk-ish [05:20] hello, can someone help me out? [05:20] Mike_lifeguard: sudo chmod 777 [05:20] reflous: if it breaks anything, rename them back [05:20] DVS01: also wubi is really for noobs that can't partition their hard disk, sometimes their is a rather valid reason to use it on a computer, but not normaley, as a result wubi is for noobs normalley and only good for testing [05:20] When will ubuntu officially ship with ext4 install default [05:20] digitalchemist Firefox says "Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number. [05:20] scunizi, yes it's 180.51 that I just downloaded from NVIDIA. GLX seems to be working, at least for things like compiz. I haven't tried any games yet as I need to reinstall some of them [05:20] DVS01: real partitions are better :) and it's not exactly hard to set up a dual boot [05:20] What exactly is a wubi install? [05:20] reflous: and I don't know GNOME well enough to say that there isn't a simple "reset to factory settings" option somewhere - maybe there is [05:21] does anyone know how to use notify-send ? [05:21] I can't pipe anything to it [05:21] scunizi, was just shocked at the difference in numbers and was curious if I was doing something wrong [05:21] kevlyn: yes I just installed that one tonight on my Intrepid machine.. seems to work fine [05:21] how hard is it to downgrade 9.04 to 8.10? [05:21] !wubi > uncmar [05:21] uncmar, please see my private message [05:21] anyone running Juanty on JFS? [05:21] digitalchemist i am gonna ask the #firefox channel. [05:21] uncmar: it's where you install linux inside a linux filesystem which lives in a single large NTFS file [05:21] nibsa1242: it's unsupported so i guess kindra hard === evilbug_ is now known as evilbug [05:21] digitalchemist thanx for the effort [05:21] @maxxist: yeah, that might be more helpful -- good luck [05:21] maxxist: that tends to be dead, but you can also go on irc.mozilla.org and into their Firefox channel [05:21] Anyone here successfully paired a mighty mouse in ubuntu? [05:22] dooglus: sorta like colinux. I'm trying to remember exactly what they called those. [05:22] uncmar: called what? [05:22] ok [05:22] scunizi: chmod: cannot access `trash:///_.linuxvpn/vpnclient/.tmp_versions': No such file or directory (O.o ... I guess I can restore it, then chmod and then delete it?) [05:22] Can someone help me out with LiveCD? [05:22] @maxxist: is this dd-wrt firmware? [05:22] Kryo09: probably, what's the actaul issue? [05:22] dooglus: how is the linux Run? loadlin? [05:22] Mike_lifeguard: that works too [05:22] scunizi, Thank you for your assistance. I will go ahead and reinstall some glx apps and see how it goes. [05:22] no, I can't even do that [05:22] can someone PLEASE help me with notify-send? [05:22] dooglus: or is it virtualized? [05:23] kevlyn: np [05:23] digitalchemist nope stock linksys [05:23] Qas curious if anyone knew why my wifi card is being identified as eth2 and not wlan*. It seems to be screwing up a few things because of this. I checked the persistent rules and what not. [05:23] sebsebseb: I have pasted the message onto the http://paste website. [05:23] uncmar: when I boot, I get the windows bootloader menu, with 'XP' or 'Ubuntu'. if I pick Ubuntu, I get the grub menu. I don't know any more about it. [05:23] Kryo09: well I don't have a link [05:23] xfurious, wow, I killed xorg and the screen went nuts. I rebooted, still went nuts, so I booted into text mode and did sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx, oh well, it was woth a shot [05:23] Kryo09: paste the actually link. [05:23] @maxxist: well, not sure if it'd be the same then, but I have an entry in 'Authorities' under NewMedia-NET for mine [05:23] sebsebseb thanx for the tip. i will check it. [05:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/158306/ [05:23] there was a really good explanation on WUBI here http://twit.tv/floss63 [05:23] sebsebseb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/158306/ [05:24] or anyone: http://paste.ubuntu.com/158306/ [05:24] very interesting [05:24] has anyone here even heard of notify-send [05:24] B: hrm try startx from commandline and see the (EE) messages its giving you [05:24] why my visual effect cannot enable *extra , Desktop effects could not be enabled [05:24] I need help with it [05:24] uncmar: it doesn't run inside windows - windows doesn't boot when I run ubuntu even though it's a wubi install. I imagine just an NTFS driver runs to allow access to the linux fs [05:24] I want to remove Grub I can still boot to vista. How do I do this? [05:24] sebsebseb, in the lst file only at the very end does it mention XP [05:24] Chaorain: you want to get rid of Ubuntu? [05:24] wrektjet: yes [05:24] wrektjet: oh? [05:24] wrektjet: you want Ubuntu to boot up first? [05:25] xfurious, the slight margin that the screen is shifted to the right isn't so bad now. Should I still do startx; because I am back up and running as it was now [05:25] yes [05:25] wrektjet: normalley you just put the one you want to boot up first, at the top [05:25] sebsebseb, yes [05:25] Chaorain: if you remove grub say bye bye to ubuntu [05:25] wrektjet: not top of file, but the top where the os's are mentioend [05:25] I know. I need my computer looked at by Dell and I don't think thell like ubuntu [05:25] ok ya no [05:25] dooglus: kind of like the old loadlin for the FAT32 on win98. they call it a looplinux install. [05:25] anyone know if there's some way to make ubuntu the default when booting a wubi install? [05:26] Cortney: hi again, did you see my mesages from before? [05:26] uncmar: sounds about right [05:26] with the web address? [05:26] digitalchemist hey man. you rock. [05:26] dooglus: I think wubi/ubuntu also has the menu.lst for Grub [05:26] dooglus, does wubi use the Windows NT bootloader? [05:26] @dooglus: yes, there is ... you'll need to edit menu.lst [05:26] uncmar: I find myself running windows a lot of the time because I boot and go do something else while it boots, and it always defaults to windows [05:26] dooglus: Have you checked your bios? If you have it partitioned you may be able to tell it which partition to boot first. [05:26] dooglus: yeah, I could do that. In fact, you can do that from windows pretty easily. Assuming you are speaking of WinXP. Vista shouldn't be much harder. === timburke_ is now known as timburke [05:26] dooglus: ,but you first boot from the Windows bootloader [05:26] @maxxist: victory? [05:26] can i post a copy of the lst file somewhere [05:26] dooglus: so you need to get that edited, ask in #windows maybe? [05:26] dooner: I believe so. how's that configed? [05:26] B: well no, it would only show you the errors if you had it installed. [05:27] digitalchemist hey man. i looked through there and there was a linksys one. i exported it to a file and then i deleted it. now I have the option to add an exception. [05:27] anyone know how to get Xmacro to use the enter key? because nothing i try works [05:27] digitalchemist: menu.lst is for grub. grub only runs if I select 'ubuntu' from the menu - that's the menu I want to default, not grub [05:27] @maxxist: awesome! congrats :-) [05:27] dooglus: mentioned a wubi install and that it uses the windows boot loader. [05:27] sebsebseb: I want the windows bootloader to default to ubuntu [05:27] Hi [05:27] xfurious, oh, so i should have done that before I uninstalled it. You know if I didn't dual boot I could just adjust the monitor itself [05:27] @dooglus: aha, using XP? [05:27] dooglus, there is a boot.ini file I think you can edit it from the System Thing in control panel and muck with the order (but I don't really have any windows machines...) [05:27] digitalchemist: yup [05:27] hey ubuntu 9.04 still uses ext3 at default :P [05:27] ok I can't play anything in Banshee [05:27] dooglus: edit the boot.ini file. [05:28] @dooglus: forgot the name ... boot.ini I think should be in C:\boot.ini [05:28] msconfig maybe? [05:28] thats another way [05:28] dooglus: C:\boot.ini You can change the default there. [05:28] sebsebseb the #firefox channel isnt too dead. I got an answer in there too. [05:28] thanks y'all [05:28] can't play anything in banshee [05:28] any one know how to relaunch volume controls with a run command??? [05:28] dooglus, right click my computer->properties->advanced its there somewhere [05:28] always 'idle' [05:28] !pastebin | wrektjet [05:28] wrektjet: 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) [05:28] it says: [operating systems] [05:28] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn [05:28] dooglus: I'm a windows geek.

[05:29] hey [05:29] dooglus : the way to dual boot to ubuntu / windows is to use grub [05:29] hi [05:29] uncmar: I don't have one - are you registered? [05:29] can anyone help me with notify-send? [05:29] please [05:29] codelearner: no [05:29] dooglus, advanced->startup and recovery [05:29] can someone help me with banshee? [05:29] codelearner: not when using wubi [05:29] sebsebseb, would u mind looking at this ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/158312/ [05:29] codelearner: I'm using wubi [05:29] windows loader cant see your ubuntu install [05:29] so dont mess up your boot.ini [05:30] codelearner: no disrespect, but I don't think you know what I'm talking about [05:30] nevermind I just got it [05:30] rather open your grub.conf file in the /boot directory and edit it [05:30] yes I am regisisterd. [05:30] What is the command to remove Grub inside of vista? [05:30] that was wierd [05:30] dooglus, right click my computer->properties->advanced->startup and recovery, select your default OS [05:30] whats the best prog for windows emulation on a 64-bit jaunty? [05:30] ok, [05:30] What is the main advantage of a hard drive install over using Wubi? Or isnt there one, practically speaking? [05:30] @wrektjet: what's the problem? can't boot into Ubuntu? [05:30] wubi is difgferent :P I didnt use it :P [05:31] wrektjet: ok seen that kind of thing before [05:31] no prob. i wanna make ubuntu the default, not xp. and to start after 3 seconds not 30 [05:31] wrektjet: can you even boot up Ubuntu? [05:31] usser: I have 7 tabs in my computer -> properties. which is 'advanced'? [05:31] sure [05:31] PLEASE [05:31] can someone help me with notify-send? [05:31] X-722, If windows has a problem Wubi has a problem [05:31] dooglus, the one labeled advanced [05:31] i have to use a diff keybord though ots annoying [05:31] Vubi: you have lots of options, virtualbox is a favorite for a lot of people.. if you need usb support get it direct from their site, vmware server, qemu, xen etc [05:31] dooglus, winXP? [05:31] im in ubunto now! [05:32] scunizi: ok thanks [05:32] usser: they're all labeled in some kind of gobbledygook [05:32] wrektjet, you need to boot Ubuntu to do that [05:32] wrektjet: did you use wubi? [05:32] yea [05:32] usser: XP, yes [05:32] I used wubi [05:32] wrektjet: you have used wubi? [05:32] was that bad [05:32] !wubi [05:32] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [05:32] I am infact installing ubuntu on virtualbox [05:32] wrektjet: yes wubi is bad for this kind of thing [05:32] sebsebseb, i did [05:32] oh [05:32] wrektjet: for what you want to do, wubi is bad [05:32] dooglus, well there should be a tab that clearly says 'advanced' :) [05:32] X-722, also hard driveinstall you get hibernation mode Wubi you don't [05:32] sebsebseb, what i mean is that i installed 9.04 via the wubi [05:32] Chaorain: Assuming Windows remains stabe though... Hardware work correctly? Meaning, do you have to config your wireless for linux, or does it work through windows on Wubis behalf? [05:32] wubi is like colinux? can i fire up ubuntu within windows? [05:33] wrektjet: yes hence why you don't have a normal grub menu.lst either [05:33] codelearner: no it's not like colinux [05:33] codelearner: and it's not a virtual machine either [05:33] ok :) [05:33] @codelearner: it's not loke colinux, but I guess you could use a VM to launch the HD-file it creates [05:33] codelearner: sebsebseb however they are working on a colinux version for wubi.. [05:33] usser: I have tabs labelled 'obnoveni systemu', 'automaticke aktualizace', 'vzdaleny pristup', 'obecne', 'nazev pocitace', 'hardwave', and 'upresnit' [05:33] X-722, You still have to reconfigure enverything either way. [05:33] so im gonna have to keep this other keyboard plugged in forever :( [05:33] I know this totally breaks irc ettiquite to ask... [05:33] but are you guys ignoring me? [05:33] Gotcha [05:33] hmm [05:33] ok [05:33] leachim6: I'm not [05:34] scunizi: what are you talking about? [05:34] b/c my logitech usb one doesnt work until the os starts up [05:34] @leachim6: what was your question? [05:34] dooglus, just nobody knows? [05:34] So which would be preferred, Wubi, or VMWare? [05:34] I'll rather stick to virtualbox then [05:34] X-722, if windows remains stable. BIG IF [05:34] colinux seems too complex [05:34] X-722: neither, Virtualbox :) [05:34] Or are they pretty much the same? [05:34] and [05:34] leachim6: I don't know the answer. [05:34] when I pipe something to notify-send it always says I have an "invalid number of options" [05:34] no matter what it is [05:34] ubuntu 9.04 is delicious on my aspire one [05:34] sebsebseb: on the dev list they've been talking about the possibility of useing the colinux kernel with wubi and ubuntu [05:34] Chaorain: I have good luck with XP, but then again I dont do silly things with my machine :P [05:34] notify-send -t 15 "MPD" `mpdcurrentsong-gosd.py` [05:34] that's what I'm running [05:34] leachim6: I'll boot into ubuntu once I'm happy with my windows boot.ini and try it... [05:35] dooglus, thanks [05:35] scunizi: damn noob distro ideas hum. Ubuntu should really be about getting people away from Windows more, not the other way round [05:35] @leachim6: I'm not familiar with notify-send ... I'll look into it real quick [05:35] Just want to get back into Linux, and not sure if a HD install is worth it for me. [05:35] X-722, VMWare you are running 2 operating systems at the same time. i.e. SLOW. Wubi just 1 os so faster. Hard drive is a little bit faster than Wubi, but not much [05:35] At least on the laptop I mean [05:35] anyone know how to get xmacro to use the enter key? because nothing i try works [05:35] sebsebseb: well, the first step is to get people familiar with it [05:35] !notify-send : Iceman_B|SSH [05:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:35] it basically just allows you to make your own little messages with the new notify-osd in jaunty [05:35] microlith: well there's already wubi and virtual machines for that [05:36] microlith: do you also experience some issues with maximus? [05:36] I don't even know wthat leachim6 has be asking. Had my head turned. [05:36] sebsebseb: yea.. but if it makes them easier to try then you might be able to capture more totol converts [05:36] it's kind of like osd-cat [05:36] Was curious if anyone knew why my wifi card is being identified as eth2 and not wlan*. It seems to be screwing up a few things because of this. I checked the persistent rules and what not. [05:36] CareT: wrong person I assume? [05:36] xosd-cat [05:36] scunizi: yeah maybe [05:36] @leachin6: sounds cool ... I don't seem to have it installed though ... which package is it in? [05:36] microlith, are you running UNR on your aspire one? [05:36] dooner: no, stock Ubuntu 9.04 [05:36] scunizi: and there's already something else, that runs most Ubuntu apps in Windows, except the desktop stuff and that [05:37] scunizi: based on hardy though [05:37] anyone know of a guide to going from 9.04 basic install to compiz-fusion? [05:37] sebsebseb: after trying it most will either install as a dual boot, take the whole drive for an install, keep it in wubi for a toy . [05:37] scunizi: something else, more like two something else's [05:37] CareT, i haven't had too many issues with maximus on my aspire one.. [05:37] just give a better package management thing in linux like " click and forget " thing of windows and you'll see people saying good bye to windows :P ( I am lazy :P ) [05:37] microlith: no, i also use ubuntu on a aspire one. but i use the "ubuntu-netbook-remix", which uses maximus [05:37] wrektjet: ah yes [05:37] wrektjet: partition :) [05:38] CareT: ah ok, I haven't even looked at UNR yet [05:38] wrektjet: get a normal partitioned install, and what I said before, will work, and then do what you want [05:38] sebsebseb: it'll be really interesting when kde will run as a desktop replacemnet on windows .. allowing all it's apps to run as well. [05:38] MrStatic: I have been able to force the setting differentl but I don't know if that would help. I also don't remember how I did it. But the answer may be in this laptop. [05:38] scunizi: I don't think that's a good idea [05:38] CareT, the only thing I had issues with on the aspire one is that WPA2 Enterprise connections in wireless are sometimes painful [05:38] microlith: it uses the space of the display quite nice ;- [05:38] sebsebseb, you really think its worth doing a new installation? [05:38] uncmar: lol I have tried to force itbut it just goes to another eth# [05:38] scunizi: and already quite a lot of the KDE4 apps run natively on Windows and OS X [05:39] sebsebseb: didn't know that. [05:39] scunizi, it already does run [05:39] scunizi: give people a good desktop environment on Windows, and they will just continue using Windows with it, those that know about it [05:39] woo [05:39] that was quick, JP input and network shares in fstab [05:39] I'm having trouble with dual monitor support. I've got an Nvidia 8800GT powering my two monitors running Jaunty x64. Has anyone encountered this problem? [05:39] btw, i use ubuntu BECAUSE the desktop enviornment is better than windows [05:39] and the software [05:39] and the IRC room :) [05:39] sun0082 whats seems to be the problem? [05:40] scunizi: cross platform stops vender lock in, and most opensource stuff is, but guess what? most commercial apps aren't cross platform. that's what we want. cross platform EA games and what not, but no [05:40] and is free :P [05:40] I downloaded Google Earth and I can't login to the server, why would that be? === k is now known as Mora [05:40] sun0082 I found that using the nvidia-settings app to configure the two monitors worked much better in ubuntu.... [05:40] scunizi: cross platform, Sim City etc, cross platform Grand Theft Auto etc. Windows, Desktop Linux, Mac OS X, and a few games consoles, but no [05:40] sebsebseb: there's points on both sides.. but we digress... we're getting ot [05:40] dooner: sadly i cant test wpa2 as my router-all-in-one-humpty-dumpty doesn't let me connect since some time. it worked perfectly ones and just stopted to work some time... [05:40] I can't get the second display to work, it gives me an error everytime i try to enable it [05:40] sun0082: I find that using nvidia-settings is so much easier. [05:41] hi guys, ever since I upgraded to jaunty, my sound became all weird. alsamixer gives an error, and I can't hear sound from firefox, however amarok and system sounds still work. Anyone know what's going on? [05:41] wrektjet: wubi is only good for testing [05:41] @leachin6: I've got it installed, and the test messages I've been sending it seem to work (libnotify-bin) [05:41] i just upgraded to 9.10, and when I boot the system hangs just after grub and then flashes a modprobe fatal error, then proceeds to boot. where can i find the modprobe error logs? [05:41] wrektjet: using wubi as a proper install, for a long period of time, isn't a great idea, for various reasons [05:41] sebsebseb, it's funny... most Indie game developers are porting to Mac OS X and Linux [05:41] give me a second, i'll paste in the error message i'm getting when i try and enable it [05:41] i thought it was just the easiest way to install. so i should burn a cd and reinstall? do i have to remove this install first? [05:41] wrektjet: it's pretty easy to set up a proper dual boot, Windows and Ubuntu [05:41] wrektjet: with real partitions [05:41] !info hedgewars [05:41] hedgewars (source: hedgewars): Worms style game. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.9.7-3ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1080 kB, installed size 2288 kB [05:41] i didnt even realize it wasnt a real partition [05:42] 2D Boy, id Games, 3D Realms [05:42] nvm... [05:42] I figured it out on my own [05:42] whats the sudo to unistall ubuntu [05:42] I have to have the `` inside quotes [05:42] wrektjet: how new are you to Ubuntu? [05:42] i used 8.10 for a few weeks [05:42] wrektjet: since you installed with wubi, you can just remove it like any normal Windows app [05:42] sebsebseb, there is none. [05:42] sebsebseb, he wants an easy way to upgrade. [05:42] @leachim6: that would have been my guess, but I thought the shell might concatenate [05:42] ? now i am confused. [05:42] ok this is the error: Failed to set MetaMode (2) 'DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select @1920x1080 +1440+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select @1440x900 +0+0' (Mode 3360x1080, id: 52) on X screen 0 [05:42] Would you like to remove this MetaMode? [05:43] wrektjet: I thought you wanted Ubuntu, to be the one that boots up first by default? [05:43] better question anyone know if ubuntu's code for enter happens to be something other then Return or Enter? [05:43] yes [05:43] sun0082 is that when using the nvidia-settings program? [05:43] wrektjet: yes and it's so easy to do by editing a normal grub menu.list [05:43] If I were to not boot into windows for ninety days and only use openoffice to create and modify msoffice documents and store the afformetioned documents on my 8gb flash drive, and send a msoffice user(I.e. My father) one of my openoffice created documents with a .doc, xls and ppt file extensions would i be able to read the document my father returned to me after he edited it with MSoffice 2007 would openoffice be able to read [05:43] yowshi, Ubuntu's code for enter is 13 or 0xD. [05:43] yes, that is the nvidia program [05:43] wrektjet: that is for a normal proper standard old fashioned partition dual boot [05:43] yowshi, just like any other system. [05:43] sebsebseb, yes. but im confused about removing it via windows. ubuntu is already its own partition no? [05:43] yowshi: code for Enter? [05:44] i dont boot into xp [05:44] kernel 2.6.28 ? [05:44] i boot into ubuntu [05:44] wrektjet: no it's inside a section of your Windows partition [05:44] magcius: hmmm well when i tried putting what xmacrorec spit out into a file xmacroplay says it cant recognize it [05:44] digitalchemist, well my script output a quoted string...so I thought that would work...but oddly...no [05:44] uncmar: : hmmm well when i tried putting what xmacrorec spit out into a file xmacroplay says it cant recognize it [05:44] so i should open xp and delete it? [05:44] Hello there. [05:44] and then intsll via the cd [05:44] wrektjet: to remove wubi, you do it from XP yes === flippo is now known as h1n1 [05:44] sun0082 hmm. try running a "sudo nvidia-settings" and configure that way??? [05:44] microlith, dooner, maybe you can confirm that maximus is treating a double click on the window title different from a clickt on the butten to maximize the window. first one causes maximus to leave a space at the bottom of the screen as if there was a panal. [05:44] oh, so you are referring to xmacro files. [05:45] ok fair enuff thanks sebsebseb [05:45] dooner might, don't have it on my system [05:45] where are modprobe errors logged in ubuntu 9.10? [05:45] uncmar: magcius i've been trying to solve this problem because the enter key would be the best solution for my problem [05:45] i guess its better i find this out now than in three months when removing it would be a pain [05:45] yowshi, I doubt that has to do with the "code for Enter" [05:45] @leachim6: do you know if it's possible to pipe data ... cat test | notify-send? [05:45] Could someone, please, tell me if there is some sort of command which allows me to see if a pre-compiled kernel I'm running has been compiled with some specific options enabled? [05:45] wrektjet: indeed [05:45] Mora, /var/log/syslog [05:45] If I were to not boot into windows for ninety days and only use openoffice to create and modify msoffice documents and store the afformetioned documents on my 8gb flash drive, and send a msoffice user(I.e. My father) one of my openoffice created documents with a .doc, xls and ppt file extensions would i be able to read the document my father returned to me after he edited it with MSoffice 2007 would openoffice be able to read [05:45] magcius: thanks. [05:45] digitalchemist, nope that doesn't work [05:45] wrektjet: and there are quite a few advantages of using real partitions instead of wubi [05:45] maxxist, may i pm you? [05:46] sun0082 yep [05:46] heh , how to get rid of the yellow/orange/brown theme of ubuntu completely? [05:46] magcius: i was wondering if ubuntu had soem other entry because everything i look up say KeyStrPress Enter or Return or KP_Enter and xmacro doesnt recognize any of them [05:46] TopBunny98, as long as he doesnt save it as docx or xlsx, ie 2007 format you should be fine for the most part [05:46] yowshi: do xmacro files handle or use escaped characters? like \x0D or \r? [05:46] @leachim6: it's still pretty cool ... someone mentioned using it for things like "make && notify-send 'done compiling'" [05:46] wrektjet: Wubi is alright for testing, but not that good, for proper long term Ubuntu usage [05:46] Hi Again ^_^ [05:46] codelearner: appearance theme custom [05:46] i did sudo blkid and it showed me dev/loop0 and dev/sda1 [05:46] so that really one partition? [05:47] wrektjet, Wubi breaks on an upgrade when new kernels are installed. [05:47] uncmar: is that the same as a keycode? [05:47] magcius: it seems like modprobe hasn't logged its errors, do you know how that is changed? [05:47] magcius: really? [05:47] sebsebseb, happened to me twice. [05:47] yowshi: \x0D is the hex code for Enter. [05:47] uncmar: well i can try it [05:47] gonna burn a cd now :) [05:47] ok, my screen is 1400 x 900 but i get 1024 x 768 only ? do i have to manually edit xorg.conf or there is way ? [05:47] Mora, no, sorry, I don't/ [05:47] wrektjet: wait [05:47] How do i get wma codecs [05:48] Mora, man modprobe? [05:48] I mean some shortcut? [05:48] wrektjet: don't just burn the CD, md5sum the ISO first [05:48] what is the name of the command for gnome's audio mixer? [05:48] hotdog, w32codecs [05:48] yowshi: \x0D is a carriage return \x0A is Line Feed. I don't remember the octal codes.. will have to translate those.

I have an HP Compaq 6710b, graphic card says Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 [05:49] wrektjet: and when you do your real partitioned install, despite what some people might say here, I think you should do Ext4 for your Ubuntu partition :) [05:49] yowshi: \r \n are generally considered Carriage Return and Line Feed. but not as universal. [05:49] wrektjet: by default you get Ext3 in 9.04, but you can set up yourself for the other one [05:49] sebsebseb, should i maybe install the os on its own small partition? [05:49] d4rkmonkey, intel graphics are not very compatible with the new version - says in the release notes. [05:50] wrektjet: well basicalley yeah [05:50] does gnome still use XF86Config? [05:50] uncmar: no grr it winds up just registering the \ as a keypress [05:50] wrektjet: partitions: XP, Ubuntu's / partition about 16GB and Ext4 :) a 1GB swap partition or double your RAM, if you can sleep/hibernate in XP [05:50] !swap | wrekjet [05:50] wrekjet: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster.

I keep getting SYSLINUX prompt that says it could not find the kernel image ... any ideas? [05:51] !install [05:51] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

Anyone know, has there been any word on fixing the problem between the server kernel and the Nvidia X server? [05:51] wrektjet: and important data, don't just keep it in the Ext4, because there have been issues, altough I think it's all pretty much fixed now. Ext4 does disk checking faaster than Ext3 and deals with bigger files better and things [05:51] hey ppl, anyone know if I can control the transmit power in my bluetooth antenna on the laptop? It is on too low power so I loose the connection in my headset all the time. [05:51] digitalchemist: why not use the usb creator that comes with the ubuntu cd? === LAZERBOYE is now known as J [05:52] !dualboot | wrektjet [05:52] wrektjet: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:52] yowshi: could it be [ENTER] or [Enter] ? [05:52] this is really pissing me off. i can get everything but the enter key to work [05:52] didnt think of using that [05:52] ara [05:52] hotdog: it gives the same problem ... I've tried about 3 of the bootable USB creation methods [05:52] when running gtkpod i have a error xmms command not found [05:52] #jepara [05:53] or, does anybody know a way around the incompatibility? :) === _ is now known as Guest24707 [05:53] yowshi: I've done sendkey stuff with Visual Basic in the past. === J is now known as Lazermann [05:53] wrektjet: when you do a real partitioend install, it should pick up XP in the menu.lst as well as Ubuntu of course. and Ubuntu will be the default boot after 3 seconds, but you can change that in the file [05:54] check [05:54] uncmar: apparently not the bracket KeyStrPress seems to see it as a string to enter then i guess [05:54] yowshi: I'm looking over the xmacro stuff now. [05:54] that will be good :) i will do it tom i am just gonna mess around on trhis install for a bit now that io know im deleting it [05:54] i can try to install compiz [05:54] which crashed my 8.04 a month or so ago [05:55] anyone had problems with gtkpod and 9.04? [05:55] how can i stop xchat from logging into this server and channel every time it runs ? [05:55] wrektjet: and if you got data you want to keep in XP, well good idea to have it backed up somewhere else, because when you resize the XP partition something could happen, never happeneded to me though. never had dataloss like that when resizing partitions [05:55] nothing important. just vids and whatnot. things i could always get again [05:56] uncmar: there isnt a whole lot of documentation on it [05:56] wrektjet: guided installs give you Ext3, to do Ext4 you need to set up yourself, you know how to do that? [05:56] uncmar: i had to figure half of this stuff out that i am doing now by trial and error [05:56] can someone paste your xorg.conf file? [05:57] sebsebseb, i tghink i can do it [05:57] thnx [05:57] anyone know how can i view the files from a .tar.gz file? only the list of the files (i need for use in a script, for list). i tryed: tar tzvf file.tar.gz but i view more data [05:57] :) [05:57] ext4 also requires that you upgrade grub to the latest version included with the jaunty [05:57] hi, I have some problem with my flash player in firefox after upgrade to 9.04 [05:57] codelearner: http://pastebin.com/f5655089c [05:57] or else it won't be found [05:57] someone please PM me if they'd be willing to help me work out a couple problems with a ubuntu/XP dual boot [05:58] codelearner: that's from a Hardy system [05:58] hart1gan: text editor but i'm not sure... [05:58] bacon1989: right, but? how is that going to be done? [05:58] M4d3l: go into synaptic, locate the flash repo and reinstall it [05:58] ok ... thanks @ scuinizi [05:58] hart1gan: try tar lzf file.tar.gz [05:58] bacon1989: install, re boot, and boot up the Ext4? [05:58] bacon1989: you meant the Grub that is on the 9.04 CD is good or not? [05:58] bacon1989: I did it. but no change [05:58] Does ubuntu assign a password of mysql by defualt? Because mysql does not but yet its asking for a password [05:59] lstarnes, do not exist 'lzf' [05:59] sebsebseb: you need to install using ext4, then you boot itno the liveCD and install grub from there [05:59] If a file name has spaces in it, how to do you use the terminal to access it? [05:59] Has anyone had trouble upgrading to 9.04 [05:59] 7zip? [05:59] wrektjet: see above [05:59] .tar.gz [05:59] Masse: "file" with the qoutes [05:59] wrektjet: regarding Grub and Ext4 [05:59] i've had trouble with flash player [05:59] I just reinstalled it [06:00] and all was well [06:00] lstarnes: Thank you, I will give it a try [06:00] bacon1989: ok well this is useful to know, because I haven't clean installed this jaunty testing stuff [06:00] hey guys after upgrading to 9.04, my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base completely disappeared. what should I do? [06:00] toatsed_cheese flawless upgrade except for borked compiz settings. [06:00] saw a bit on flash player with RobbieF on cat5tv [06:00] it's just what I read, it says it isn't recongnized by older versions of grub [06:00] bacon1989: remind me how I would mount the partition on live cd, or maybe even recovery mode? and then install latest Grub? [06:00] yep yep [06:00] i will do so sir [06:00] tyvm [06:00] gonna go for a bike ride [06:01] until next time... thanks again! [06:01] bacon1989: I am clean installng soon with 9.04 final and doing Ext4 :) [06:01] hart1gan: try tzf instead of lzf [06:01] I can't upgrade to 9.04 it "fails to fetch packages" [06:01] sebsebseb: http://ribbed.us/software/restoring-grub-after-a-windows-install/ [06:01] toasted_cheese, choose another servwer [06:01] toasted_cheese: I can't upgrade the other computer from 8.04 to 8.10 either, same reason [06:01] lstarnes: Thanks alot, that work, any other additional work arounds for that same issue that I should be aware of ? [06:01] lstarnes nice man, tzf works... thanks. [06:01] sebsebseb: you follow the code [06:02] toasted_cheese, choose the 'choose the best server' option [06:02] wolter: you could also put a \ before the space [06:02] any other idea? [06:02] bacon1989: ah ha, but the link is for after a windows install [06:02] okay I'll have another go at it [06:02] lstarnes, what? [06:02] someone please PM me if they'd be willing to help me work out a couple problems with a ubuntu/XP dual boot [06:02] sebsebseb: actually there might be an easier way [06:02] wolter: oops [06:02] sebsebseb: you can use the same code to reinstall the latest grub version [06:02] Masse: you could also put a \ before the space [06:03] how do I find out why my sound is not working? [06:03] bacon1989: what kind of stupidity is this? why does 9.04 not provide a Grub that does Ext4 on the CD? [06:03] sebsebseb: it does, but it doesn't install it by default from what I recall [06:03] bacon1989: but is it in the options as a choice on install? [06:04] I haven't actually tried it, but I think it relates to if you choose to upgrade from an earlier distro [06:04] Looks like it is suppose to be KeyStrPress Return KeyStrRelease Return [06:04] yowshi: Looks like it is suppose to be KeyStrPress Return KeyStrRelease Return [06:04] otherwise it'll just use the grub included on the disk [06:04] is there a list of packages somewhere that are installed by default on new installs? specifically python-notify [06:04] bacon1989: ok well clean installing not upgrading, so i'll see what happens when I do that [06:04] bacon1989: well I would hope the grub included on the disk does Ext4 [06:04] nvm, I'm a foole [06:04] hmm.. you shouldn't have any problems with that [06:04] uncmar: yeah well i was just trying to get it to recognize Return in the first place [06:05] good luck with that, i hear ext4 is still sortof in development [06:05] bacon1989: yeah same [06:05] bacon1989: ,but a lot of people say they don't have problems with it also === hif1 is now known as hifi [06:05] sebsebseb: bacon1989 what does grub have to do with the filesystem? [06:05] yowshi: http://www.krisalan.com/?p=55 [06:05] scunizi: apparantly older versions of Grub won't detect Ext4, according to that guy [06:06] uncmar: yeah i saw that. it is one of only 2 ducomentation online for xmacro [06:07] sebsebseb: ok.. not sure I really understand why it wouldn't.. one more thing to research before installing the 64 bit version [06:07] I failed to upgrade again [06:07] scunizi: ok [06:08] Can anyone tell me how to roll my nvidia drivers back to vers 173 from 180 , it doesn't seem to be in synaptic. it goes to d/l them but it just sits there, does download anything.??

[06:22] XP will be [06:22] yes [06:22] TopBunny98, docx is not even ooxml its like a half-assed implementation with some xml involvement its not even a standard [06:22] TopBunny98, sorry wasnt to you [06:22] geek_, , docx is not even ooxml its like a half-assed implementation with some xml involvement its not even a standard [06:22] hey guys, just upgraded to 9.04 and suddenly my ethernet adapter is missing. i do an "ifconfig" and it only shows the loopback. everything was fine pre-upgrade. any ideas? [06:22] it was dpkg-reconfigure or something [06:22] usser: ooxml is ms's xml format. Which isn't open ;p [06:22] usser: not even close to a standard :P [06:22] supernero: does ifconfig -a show it? [06:22] hanophix33: you should be fine if XP is installed first... I think ( but am not sure ) that Ubuntu may even auto configure grub for you so that you can hit ESC and pick which OS to boot into on startup [06:23] geek_, yea but docx is not ooxml [06:23] with ubuntu 9.04, the "System" menu doesn't show the logout option anymore. what do i do to get it back? [06:23] Is everyone satisfied with Jaunty? [06:23] geek_: it's not open - and MS Office 2007 doesn't even use the format as it's written [06:23] geek_, as far as i know [06:23] no [06:23] Yeah actually [06:23] i'm not [06:23] Thanks Nibsa1242b [06:23] How can I install 9.04 from a usb drive?

[06:25] ?? [06:25] i should mention this is a wired config that worked out of the box until i upgraded [06:25] hanophix33: there is an EXT2 driver for windows that will allow you to read / write to EXT3 partitions as long as the EXT3 partition was shutdown cleanly [06:25] supernero: What adapter is it? [06:25] and after my reboot after the upgrade it worked fine for the first 10 minutes or so [06:25] eth0 [06:25] matholum: thanks a lot [06:25] is there already an ext4?

[06:30] _ester_: Then I'd make sure *all* the ubuntu packages are uninstalled, and just download the entire suite from www.openoffice.org [06:30] The flood bot does not have a bug. Its purpose is to flood the channel.

[06:32] I could conect with he live cd, but after installation i cannot [06:32] hi [06:32] _ester_: You're welcome :-) Please take some time to read all the instructions on www.openoffice.org's site. What's nice about using the site's binaries, is you can update directly from within the program, itself, and not have to wait for updates via the usualy package update process. I'm actually using both on my install, and the seem to get along well,. [06:33] maxxist: have you ever checked out those cms websites that you run with apache? [06:33] Heya, I'm in the Kubuntu amd64 installer trying to figure out manual "Prepare Partitions" (with Konqueror running, impressive!). Where's the online help for this complicated step? [06:33] webbrowser [06:33] _ester_: usualy=usual [06:33] OK, I figured out how to avoid those annoying, loud, repeating beeps when you shutdown or restart the system (which is Gnome specific, KDE does not have this issue) ... instead of shutdown/restart from a logged in user, just logout first, then do the shutdown/restart ... no beeps in this case [06:33] centHOGG no but i will have to now. thank you [06:33] yowshi: bash has a for loop command, as does many shell script languages. You can't call xmacro repeatedly? [06:33] hey guys, just upgraded to 9.04 and suddenly my ethernet adapter is missing. i do an "ifconfig" and it only shows the loopback. everything was fine pre-upgrade. any ideas? [06:33] maxxist: yes there is a demo site for opencms ... google that keyword [06:34] skierpage: partitioning isn't really complicated. Are you at the partition manager now? [06:34] centHOGG awesome. thank you. [06:34] np [06:34] The AMD64 install guide seems to describe something different than "Step 4 of 6 Prepare Partitions", maybe it's the advanced setup. [06:34] <_ester_> Firefishe, hmmm ) [06:34] regjava: check System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [06:34] uncmar: i could if i knew how [06:34] skierpage: partition setup is partition setup. Are you at the stage where you are to prepare partitions? [06:35] I can do that, but what nxt, currently i am on windows since i cant connect to the internet from ubuntu [06:35] yowshi: man bash [06:35] Firefishe, yup, I'm trying to figure out how to break up my spare partition into root-home-swap. [06:35] with ubuntu 9.04, the "System" menu doesn't show the logout option anymore. what do i do to get it back? [06:35] uncmar: the line is cat file | xmacro -d 10 :0 [06:35] yowshi: do a search for for. That will help a lot. [06:35] rohan: right click and edit menu [06:35] Firefishe, BTW thanks for helping out! I'm happy to read web docs, but can't find something relevant. === bonobo is now known as topol [06:35] skierpage: By spare partition, do you mean free space on the same drive as windows? Or is the extra partition left over from another linux install, or what? [06:35] I have a problem: I installed awn on Ubuntu 9.04, but when I run it from terminal or through Accessories, it could not start. the error is: sreen is not composited, you must run compiz(-fusion)...? I install compiz too, but get same error? Some one please help?

[06:36] logging out [06:36] regjava: ideally, you'd want to know what driver the live cd is using, that way we can make sure the install has the driver and will use it [06:36] Firefishe, from windows I set up a spare 27GB D: partition that I can blow away. [06:36] <[_FireSoul_]> whatvn, try compiz & [06:36] when i say noquiet nosplash in the boot args, it tells me something setting root in the boot args and acts like it wants to list the partitions... but there are none listed... this computer has sata HD slots, but it has a ide hd instead... don't know if that is important... but to me it acts like, even though it is a live disk, it wants to set root on the HD... but it can't find them... this the empty list [06:36] skierpage: So that partition is ntfs? === moogly is now known as i2exius [06:37] <[_FireSoul_]> whatvn, it must get compiz working even after you close your console [06:37] justcomday [06:37] werd [06:37] Thanks [06:37] hmm === i2exius is now known as w0o0w [06:37] **thus the empty list [06:37] Firefishe, what do you mean /query me....? Firefishe, yes it is NTFS. I see how to change it to something else like ext3 but AIUI the recommendation is to have root-home-swap. [06:38] yowshi: /text [06:38] uncmar: and do i put my bash script in a seperate file and if so how do i then run that file [06:38] yowshi: you type the / key and then the text to findl. [06:38] I solved my problem, so if anyone comes in here and can't connect, tell them to sudo dhclient. apparantly dhclient was not stating up. [06:38] AIUI? no abbreviations please, I can't remember every one of them. ;) [06:39] yowshi: you start a bash file with #!/bin/bash and can use the .sh extension so that the gui automatically recongizes it as a script. Also you simply execute a chmod +x bash_program [06:40] you really can't help me with this hm? :/ [06:40] hi there i'm using pidgin and every contact opens in a seprat page [06:40] skierpage: If you want to use the 27GB NTFS Partition, select the partition by double-clicking it--or maybe a single-click will do, don't do too many clicks, too fast. [06:40] uncmar: so basically in another text files i put in #!/bin/bash [06:40] kelli: so what is the problem? [06:40] uncmar: list of commands and then run it from a terminal right? [06:40] skierpage: either that, or highlight it, then select delete [06:40] any one here use pidgin [06:40] yowshi: right. [06:40] skierpage: Let the partition manager do it's thing, and when it's done, reselect it (it should show empty now. [06:41] uncmar: sool [06:41] kelli: yes....i asked you what is the problem ? [06:41] uncmar: and the file has to have a .sh extension? [06:41] it doesn't have to. that is optional.

[06:48] but i dont really have any alternatives for him [06:48] kelli: did you install any new plugin recently ? [06:48] I installed apache2, php, and the apache php mod but when I try to load a .php page in browser the file is offered up for download adn the php doesnt execute [06:48] Carrie_: its easy to use, a bit simpler than pidgin, and does the job [06:48] hi, i use 8.10, i chmod x for a file, when i clicking it, a window open and ask me shall i run or display it, how can i remove this step? [06:49] mouse, cool I will check it out [06:49] no [06:49] I am unable to see anything in system-->hardware-->drivers [06:49] kelli: its been like this since the starting ? [06:49] matholum: ram, the whole point is not to use any drives so you can partition them [06:50] Carrie_: np [06:50] losher: actually live cd does use the swap partition on the drive if it exists (afaik) [06:50] losher, that is what i thought.... any idea on why it says my ram is an unknown block hten? [06:50] how about SIM-IM? [06:50] losher: or at least it seemed to the last time i was looking [06:50] who was that helping me on configuring the wireless connection? [06:50] Sim-IM rather [06:50] you heard of that one?

If you swapoff, you aren't using the swap partition on the disk. QED [06:52] do that in windows, and even if you uninstall, your system is permanently tainted with shit from the installation [06:52] thyanks [06:52] The wired network/wireless network is disabled [06:52] losher: well it can use it up until you try to repartition and then would have to turn it off before letting you get to that screen, but i'm not sure if that is how it works [06:52] uncmar: i cant figure out the do syntax it keeps giving me an error "do" expected even though i start the line with do [06:52] matholum: it's a bad sign. Faulty ram, or a hardware incompatibility is my guess [06:52] i don't have a working vm at the moment or would try it out [06:53] Carrie_: same with linux but not nearly as bad just your $HOME has dot files ;-) [06:53] losher: i know it has duel channel ram... and i know at least one stick it fine... [06:53] I'm having a problem, I'm trying to convert my ext3 filesystem to ext4, but I can never get the Live CD to boot, I verified the MD5, and I'm using a USB boot disk with the Live CD on it, so it can't be a bad burn. Whenever it boots, it just goes to the BusyBox prompt, and sits there. I had the same problem with 9.04 RC. [06:53] and beta, for that matter [06:54] calc: If you can run without swap, why bother? And if you install onto a virgin system with no filesystems at all, there's nothing to swap to... [06:54] has anyone tried Jaunty on a Sony Vaio Laptop???

[06:54] It's an AMD Turion 64x2, so I don't think that's the problem. [06:55] yowshi: I see. [06:55] wall-e_: what sort of problems are you having? [06:55] Hey everyone [06:55] wall-e_: i havent experienced any show stoppning bugs with the default set up no [06:55] losher: no swap means no suspend and hibernate [06:55] calc: I recall older boot environments that used swap space, but recent live cds don't, for the reasons I gave [06:55] losher, i am pretty sure the hardware is fine too... i am so confused [06:55] quick quesion about xterm: My vim color settings are messed up because of xterm (I think) how do I set it to something else?

For some reason my sound doesn't work under OB [06:55] I upgraded to 9.04 on the actual system and it boots, just not the LiveCD.
