That piece of peninsula the spanich were unable to conquer... cause their balls were not big enough [00:07] bill102299: asterisk is in the repos I believe.. no need to download the .tar [00:07] Monie: sure they do [00:07] I've a problem with my old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 Lapto [00:07] gcc takes forever to compile... :( [00:07] someone private? [00:07] Can anyone help me get sound from an ES1371 on Ubuntu 9.04? [00:07] Monie: there is a 64 bit version.. I think 180.44 but you have to get it direct from nvidia [00:07] gcc is sweet ;__; dont talk bad things of it [00:07] keith: compiles hello world pretty quick [00:07] Decinoge: i know where portugal is .. =P ... was curious about location .. inside portugal [00:07] Monie: they might even have a 180.5x version [00:07] jrib: Oh, no...

[00:09] jrib: sure .. my bad [00:09] the sis190 driver isn't working for me [00:09] keith: don't sit and wait then, just accept that the project will take you a few days and do something else while you're waiting :) [00:10] well .. having so much #ubuntu-something channels .. could i sugest an #ubuntu-desktop and an #ubuntu-server ? [00:10] hey whats the default journaling mode for ext3 in jaunty? [00:10] funkyHat: I am impatient though. I am hoping staring at it will make it go faster. [00:10] fstab doesn seem to list one [00:10] Can anyone help me figure out why ubuntu crashes every time I log out [00:10] leOn: #ubuntu-server already exists... [00:10] ahhh [00:10] Monie, I thing you have to have 64 bit drivers but I have two 64 bit machines running Nvidia propriatory 3d and Compiz [00:10] that's nice [00:10] if you don't help me, I'll just buy support this time. open support isn't the best. [00:11] i think i'll go there and nagg people about xen [00:11] jrib: thanks for the tip [00:11] <|Monie|> Scunizi you say anything else? connection pinged [00:11] if you don't help me, I'll just buy support this time. open support isn't the best /quit going to buy support [00:11] bill102299: asterisk is in the repositories. Use APT [00:11] If I make copies of initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic and vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic and make a new grub entry to point to them, will that work correctly? [00:11] bill102299: though frankly, you should work on your attitude [00:12] bill102299: Just had a look at your question, try this, sudo aptutude install asterisk [00:12] funkyHat, you spelled aptitude wrong [00:12] ahaha [00:12] ;) [00:13] bill102299: except I spelled aptitude wrong [00:13] "aptertude" [00:13] how to limit the user time usermod -e moe 2009-05-15 not working :( [00:13] Can anyone help me figure out why my x-session crashes every time I log out [00:13] funkyHat: You noticed he left, right? :-D [00:14] funkyHat: and back. [00:14] keith, you spoke too soon [00:14] lol [00:14] hehe [00:14] eseven73: Story of my life. [00:14] natalie_: which version of Ubuntu, and which graphics card do you have? [00:14] funkyHat: I am using 8.10 and I have an ATI card with the proprietary driver running [00:15] I feel 4u natalie [00:15] :( [00:15] natalie_: that is probably the cause of your problem. I had similar issues. If you can, try out the 9.04 live CD, most ATi cards are much better supported in Jaunty [00:15] does anyone know anything about getting ubuntu on a pendrive using a mac? [00:16] funkyHat: will I be able to keep my wine settings if I try and install clean? [00:16] zealiod: Is there a reason you can't boot from a livecd and do it? [00:16] natalie_: but always best to try it out just to make sure it will actually improve things [00:16] Will making a copy of the initrd and vmlinuz files and making a new grub entry point to them work correctly? [00:16] server irc.gigachat.net [00:16] keith: no cd drive on the destination device [00:16] natalie_: yes, if you back them up first, or if you have your /home on a separate partition you could do a fresh install without wiping /home [00:16] hello [00:16] keith: just using my mac to create a usb bootable thingy... [00:16] funkyHat: ATI has some issues in Jaunty because of the new x.org system.. ATI's new catelist driver supports the newer cards but has left out many of the older cards that work on 8.10 [00:17] My asoundconf list does not show a sound card available, why? [00:17] Scunizi: that's why I suggested testing the live CD first to see if it will actually help [00:17] But you can use a mac to boot from a live cd and install to a flash drive, no? [00:17] hey. do i need to unmount my usb joypad before i unplug it or something? [00:17] funkyHat: thank you. I will burn a copy of 9.04 and see how it runs. [00:17] funkyHat: ah.. missed that part.. [00:17] q [00:17] zealiod: But you can use a mac to boot from a live cd and install to a flash drive, no [00:18] keith: well, what i am wanting to achieve is this: use a pen drive to install ubuntu on a pc device that has no cd... === logain is now known as mirzam [00:18] hey. do i need to unmount my usb joypad before i unplug it or something? [00:18] why does my webcam show crappy pictures on my Ubuntu Sylvania Netbook? [00:18] this is a very serious matter [00:19] me first alybabe356 [00:19] natalie_: all of your Wine stuff (including the programs) is kept in .wine in your home directory, so you can make a tarball of that and put it on a CD, and just extract it again after you've reinstalled and all of your wine apps will be just the same. [00:19] zealiod: Ubuntu has an option to install to a USB drive and will set it up like a live cd so you can use it to install from. [00:19] i will look at this thanks [00:19] natalie_: but upgrading will probably work fine, so I'd try that first (after backing up .wine, if it's important) [00:19] Q: I ran ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop (a simple 1.6ghz 512mb ram machine) and it ran it like a champ, ever since I switched to jaunty it uses wayyyy too much ram (90% of physical ram and 75% of swap with maybe one or two things going) [00:19] I've used top and so forth to check it out and the used ram simply isnt listed [00:20] zealiod: It is under System->Administration->USB... [00:20] mirzam, is it possible that compiz or other desktop effects have been enabled? === Lukemob is now known as Lukemob` [00:20] natalie_: (first after testing the live CD I mean of course) [00:20] yea compiz is enabled, but like I said, I ran compiz wide open with 8.10, and I actually tuned it down a bit when I upgraded [00:21] System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects. Set to none (or normal at most) for that machine [00:21] funkyHat: I already have /home on a different partition, so I should be okay [00:21] anyone want to chat? add me on AIM alybabe356 thanx.<3 [00:22] heh, thanks anyway, turning stuff off isnt the answer to everything though, it ran compiz well with 8.10, theres a bug going on there somewhere. [00:22] can i let all pc's (ubuntu's pc ) to be under my control as administrator like all ubuntu's user as client and mine as server ? === pizdets is now known as pizzledizzle [00:23] natalie_: sorry if I was being patronising then! Just make sure you pick the right partitions when you're installing (I was helping someone the other day who got it wrong *twice*) [00:23] well yeah, but what I mean is some of the compiz plugins have changed and what's default etc [00:23] oh he quit :( [00:23] how do I reset $LogFile? (I forced a mount of an ntfs drive that was "uncleanly shutdown") =P [00:23] helper: yes, but it may depend on exactly what you mean. Ubuntu supports LTSP that would allow a server client relationship. [00:23] ubuntu told me to reset $LogFile *shrug* [00:24] helper: you can also always log in and administer remote computers [00:24] jdu, is there any link can show me how ? can teach me [00:24] What does this mean ? from users-admin CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '8230' [00:25] how can y start gdm from comand line with metacity instead of compiz window manager? [00:25] helper: for the remote login part? or ltsp? [00:25] helper: http://ltsp.org/ [00:26] how do i install compiz plugins? i want scale window title filter [00:26] helper: for remote login (and administration), google ssh [00:27] jdu, u mean login remotely via terminal using ssh ? [00:27] wers: install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:27] helper: yes. But you can forward graphical programs through it. [00:27] c0ntract0r: in terminal check what process is meant: ps -ef | grep 8230 [00:27] funkyHat, i already have it [00:28] VCoolie, is it pts? [00:28] wers: so open it, find the plugin and tick enable. or perhaps you need to install compiz-fusion-plugins-{extra,main,unsupported} [00:29] wers: most likely not unsupported though [00:29] c0ntract0r: the process? never heard of. the command I gave is correct [00:29] funkyHat, the plugin still isnt installed. i already installed all those packages [00:29] can you look at ccsm if you have the plugin by default? [00:29] VCoolio yes the command is, it shows 1000 8525 8507 0 19:29 pts/0 00:00:00 grep 8230 [00:30] c0ntract0r: sorry, understood [00:30] what was the other channel? [00:30] Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out, im trying to run a few commands, and when I run "apt-get install mysqldb" y get Couldn't Find package. [00:30] for ubuntu? [00:30] c0ntract0r: no, that is the command you just typed in. Was that the only line? [00:30] yes. [00:30] how can i make a private keyfile for my system? i tried ~/.ssh && ssh keygen -t dsa && ssh keygen -t rsa && cat id_dsa_pub id_rsa_pub > authorized_keys and it says ssh: connect to host keygen port 22: No route to host [00:30] oops [00:30] wers: yeah I have it [00:30] disregard ^ [00:30] what was the other channel for ubuntu? support and chat or something [00:30] ? [00:30] c0ntract0r: than the process does no longer exist. No worries then === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [00:30] :) awesome thank you [00:31] jdu, using LTSP , client would be under my administrator? so no root for them >?

[00:31] funkyHat, this is odd. i don't remember uninstalling anything. in what folder can i find those plugins? [00:31] bruce89 [00:31] Hi, can anyone help me open (mount) my jetflash USB?

[00:33] funkyHat, the what's the name of the window title filter xml? i can't see a scalewindowtitlefilter.xml here === h00k_ is now known as h00k [00:33] how can i get alsaconf? [00:33] helper: by default yes. You could add them as root though. [00:33] wers: scalefilter.xml looks like it, it belongs to compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [00:34] hi [00:34] helper: actually, you can remove sudo rights from users of any regular computer and create an administrator account for yourself to use remotely with ssh [00:34] hi [00:34] i am looking to add a splashimage to my grub i need to add the line : splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz where in the grub do i add it ?? [00:34] Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out, im trying to run a few commands, and when I run "apt-get install mysqldb" y get Couldn't Find package. [00:34] jdu, interesting [00:34] funkyHat, i already have that package installed :( anyway, can you send me the xml? :D maybe through pastebin or something [00:35] wers: hm, which version of ubuntu are you using? [00:35] pascualcm: try apt-get install mysql [00:35] wers: I think there is another file that makes up the plugin, not just the .xml [00:35] funkyHat, i'm on jaunty 64 [00:36] pascualcm: you probably want mysql-server [00:36] I just installed a program called Gambatte through a .deb package, however I don't know how to start up the program. Can anyone help? [00:36] Hi, I need some help mounting a trancend USB stick [00:36] pascualcm: aptitude search mysql [00:37] helper: look into system => admin => users and groups for user configuration such as whether a user can run sudo. [00:37] Mike94287: you can prabably type: gambatte at the command prompt. Did it not appear in the menus? [00:37] jdu, what i mean i want to put like server a group policies for user can't run sudo blah blah and the client connect to my server having these policies automatic [00:38] wers: there is also /usr/lib/compiz/libscalefilter.* which won't be compatible from my system to yours, as I'm on 32 bit [00:38] jdu: I tried that, and no it's not under the menus. === _francis_ is now known as francis [00:38] wers: try purging and reinstalling the package [00:38] where can I get a version of wine that is greater than 1.0.1 [00:38] Mike94287: did you check where it was installed. Perhaps it is not in your path or it is not called that once installed. [00:38] funkyHat, thank you very much :) [00:39] hello :-) [00:39] dn4, there is instructions on the wine website for adding the wine repo to ubuntu [00:39] wers: working now? [00:39] dn4, then it stays up to date when you do an apt-get update [00:39] billybigrigger: does it work for jaunty ? [00:39] funkyHat, still purging :D [00:40] Can somebody help me with GRUB error 17 [00:40] Ü [00:40] Hey everyone. Is there a dedicated room for the program Tilda? [00:41] helper: if the clients are always going to be in the same network, perhaps ltsp is what you want then. ltsp builds a client image of client os on the server. The clients boot off the network and all their files are stored on the server. The configuration can be defined on the server, because in reality, the clients are on the server. [00:41] jdu: I found it, it was put into /usr/bin [00:41] dn4, yes [00:41] i need help getting u9.04 to read both cd's and dvd's from my liteon dvdrom drive [00:41] Mike94287: then it should be working.

It's simply a firewire interface block device, but I'm wondering if someone can do me a big favor and look up the code that communicates with the device. I'm writing a driver for windows. [00:42] but will not read anything i put into it [00:42] Ria_ch_: I forget, but is that where grub is /boot is too far from the beginning of the hard drive because you have an old bios [00:42] so Ctr + alt + backspace used to be reset X for me - after updating to 9.04 that shortcut stopped working. Did the shortcut change? How do I make it so that is restart x? [00:42] ? [00:42] funkyHat, apparently, i have a ppa version of the package. it's a good thing that i didnt authenticate the ppa. ha! hehe [00:42] * grub in /boot [00:43] hlfshell: you need to add something to xorg.conf, wait, I'll paste it for you [00:43] thanks VCoolio [00:43] hlfshell: it was disabled in 9.04 [00:43] jdu, i see and the client how i can let him connect as client to server ? when i install ubuntu there i can config it ? [00:43] wheres xorg.conf? /etc/? [00:43] hi [00:43] Hi, can anyone help with opening a USB flash drive? its my main one and it wont work on 8.1 or 9.04 [00:44] hlfshell: I thought it was in ~/ [00:44] helper: with ltsp, the bios is setup to boot off the server. [00:44] hlfshell: paste this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/168203/ [00:44] helper: install ubuntu on the server using the ltsp option of the alternate cd [00:44] hlfshell: i'm sorry, that was my wm config, I think it's in /etc/X11 [00:44] thanks VCoolio . [00:45] Can somebody name an inexpensive HD sound card that works with Jaunty out-of-the-box? [00:45] hlfshell: it won't work until next time you log in of course [00:45] i've just used aptitude to install dosbox and when trying to run the command I get the error that it doesn't exist [00:45] i figured. thanks VCoolio [00:45] jdu, ya i check it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall [00:45] The one I have at the moment is an Intel HD, and it doesn't work with Jaunty at all (I've spent a week trying to get it to work). [00:46] jdu, but i mean this is the server install ,and client how ? [00:46] bcmorr2: the comand to launch it may not be dosbox [00:46] funkyHat, what's your version of the -extras package? i have 0.8.2-0ubuntu.12 [00:46] bcmorr2: look in the menu [00:46] yoyoned: when compiled from source it is, I wouldn't know how to figure out what else it could be, I can't even find a directory for it in /usr/local/bin [00:46] yoyoned: what menu? [00:47] wers: 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 [00:47] bcmorr2: did you install from source or use apt [00:47] yoyoned: apt [00:47] wers: sounds like the ppa is the problem, I'd remove it and install the regular version [00:48] funkyHat, synaptic tells me that the version i had is from a ppa but i cant tell which ppa it is. any idea how i can determine? [00:48] i already forced the version from the official repo but i dont know if this will still upgrade from the repo funkyHat [00:48] how can I check if mod_rewrite is enabled? I don't think it's working because a few link plugins that require it in wordpress don't seem to be working, its Ubuntu related because im hosting the site on Ubuntu Server Edition so don't tell me go to #wordpress im already there anyways :P [00:48] bcmorr2: I'm going to install it and see where the files go. Hang on a minute [00:48] helper: well, with ltsp, the clients require no config except at the bios level. They are totally configured on the server. Nothing even needs to be installed on the cliets. [00:49] yoyoned: I just apt-get remove [00:49] Can someone please help me get my sound working in Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 4. Everything was working perfectly and then two days ago I turned on the system and all the sound was dead. My speakers are plugged in fine.

[01:32] oh, well, lots of hits wrt jaunty [01:32] slestak: so do you think i should look for AC 97 or for 82801 ?

[01:38] Hello everyone....I updated to 9.0.4 and now the audio sounds horrible...every few seconds (30-40 s) the sound does like a quick machine gun, (6-10 shots)...any ideas ? [01:38] Hi folks. I've been noticing some system slowness recently, and I poked around in system monitor & saw that swap is slowly filling up to 100%, and cpu is growing along with it. I think this is probably related to flash in firefox, but killing firefox doesn't reduce swap usage (does reduce RAM usage)... I'm wondering if there's an easy way to see what's eating swap, or if this is a known problem. [01:38] marcus_aurelius: I'd think that would always be iffy.. unstable.. I prefer wired.. [01:38] pitufoide I'd try selecting different audio output drivers in volume control for a start [01:39] slestak: Awesome. Thats what I was missing was the smb:// [01:39] i was just typing in //computer/folder [01:39] and wondering why it didn't work [01:39] pitufoide, additionally, i'd check hardware monitor to see if there is resource draining or DPC latency spikes during these machine gun shots [01:39] bonez46: it's only downloading bittorrent that gives me issues, everything else is fine [01:40] boringpackets: I've tried all drivers, I haven't check the resources yet. I will [01:40] hmmm [01:40] It would be so much easier if i just had an external dvd drive [01:40] silly netbooks without drives [01:40] msg nickserv /identify morecowbell [01:40] did anyone see that [01:40] of course, bittorrent does tend to max out my network bandwidth, i was thinking i might be hitting some kind of threshold, buffer overflow, something like that [01:40] varsendaggr nope :P [01:41] Netbooks serve their purposes, I'd imagine people in here have much more purposes than netbooks provide [01:41] yes [01:41] crap [01:41] how do i identify/ [01:41] SeligArkin: looks like NM ececutes scripts from /etc/NetworkManager/dispatch.d wheich also sources /etc/networks/if-up.d, so im covered [01:41] '/msg nickserv identify you yourpassword ... i think [01:41] boringpackets: they definately aren't powerhorses. But something small to like lay on the couch with and listen to some streaming music or something ya know [01:41] marcus_aurelius, i know its all preference, but try out deluge, if you like utorrent style clients, deluge torrent is what your after, i personally hate transmission and doesnt ever seem to work right for me [01:42] just see /msg nickserv help identify [01:42] i have a desktop if i need to do "power work" [01:42] ha ha [01:42] hessy yeah, I went with the 13.3" notebook, to satisfy the power and mobility in one deal [01:42] billybigrigger, thanks, i'll give that a try [01:42] boringpackets: since i've gotten mine, it gets 80-90% of my offwork needs done [01:42] who sells a 13.3 inch?

[01:44] slestak i had a 1330 before this, and this feels so much more "solid" than the 1330 [01:44] so whats the advantages to 9.04 ? [01:44] jlaroche: one troublehooting method might be to boot to a livecd of older ubuntu, or another distro to see if it works under those circumstances [01:45] the only problem with my 1340 is that the wireless does not function with 64bit drivers (both in linux and windows) [01:45] I ride my bike to work alot, so the 910 can barely be felt. and with ssd, i am not concerned aboutkilling the drive [01:45] Counterspell: That sounds like a bad idea. Why do you want to use this package, but don't want to upgrade your Ubuntu? [01:45] I was wondering if someone knows how to create 2 pppoe connections in ubuntu?? [01:45] 2.9lbs, and 4hrs battery. dont care if its slow [01:45] actually ill ask differently, where can i see the version improvement links at? [01:45] is any one familiar with installing ardour 2.8 on ubuntu studio , i tryed to install the deb package with package installer and i get an error in the installer saying "Error:dependency is not satisfiable: libasound2" i have libasound2 installed [01:46] what could be the problem [01:46] vertagano: upgrading ubuntu causes lots of trouble; i upgraded my laptop and now it randomly crashes plus i have problems with other apps [01:46] slestak i totally understand but i prefer having one single unit that 'does it all' [01:46] civpro, ubuntu.com check the release notes [01:46] i wish i could afford a 13 inch notebook right now [01:46] thadoood: maybe you need the -dev packages? [01:46] slestak: i may do that right now. Also, under system-->preferences-->sound the "Test" buttons make the correct beep sounds [01:46] this 10 inch screen is small [01:46] i have the dev package [01:47] i don't mind small screens, if I got a netbook i'd be much more concerned with how thick the frame around the screen was, than the screen size itself [01:47] jlaroche: check your mixer, and make sure you done have channels muted. [01:47] i downloaded ardour_2.8.1~getdeb1_i386.deb [01:47] some of the earlier netbooks looked like laptops from the 80's with those huge frames around the small screens [01:47] slestak: no channels muted [01:47] jlaroche: pulse or alsa? [01:47] i personally like the netbook..for the things i bought it for it works surprisingly well [01:47] ALSA [01:48] one of these days they'll make a laptop that has no enclosure for the screen, that just holds the screen as is. and i'll buy it [01:48] i saw an ad the other day, the 10" mini, 120g hd, 1g ram, xp (boo) $259 [01:48] has anyone with an older ATI card successfully reverted to Xorg 1.5 in jaunty? [01:48] not bad slestak, i'm thinking about selling my ibook g4 (given to me) to get a netbook around that cost [01:48] jlaroche: im sorry, im notgood with sound problems. [01:49] could anyone tell me how to play flash video sound on a bluetooth audio device? [01:49] trying to pair my bluetooth headset with ibex, but the pin is always 0000 even though /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf says 1234. i've also edited /etc/bluetooth/pin without success. [01:49] boringpackets: i like that they are basically disposable. i would obsess over a more expensivemachine, but i've paid more forphones befor [01:49] so what i think this is saying is jeos is designed for something like virtualbox correct? [01:49] brb, away [01:50] slestak people on ebay are paying upwards of $300 for the ibook g4 that i have, i'm really considering selling that old piece of junk for a netbook [01:50] why can't i delete/load songs to/from my ipod in amarok 2? [01:50] ok i installed the libasound2-dev package and it still gives me the error "Error:dependency is not satisfiable:libasound2" [01:50] who here runs ext4? [01:50] ok i installed the libasound2-dev package and it still gives me the error "Error:dependency is not satisfiable:libasound2" [01:50] i love how apples marketing has zombified their target audience, otherwise my ibook would be worth nothing [01:50] billybigrigger i run ext4 on 9.04 amd64 [01:51] i have 2x500gb SATA disks i am thinking about backing up and formatting to ext4, just wondering if its worth the trouble [01:51] boringpackets: can you delete files ok? [01:51] trying to pair my bluetooth headset with ibex, but bluetooth-applet always uses a pin of 0000 even though /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf says 1234. i've also edited /etc/bluetooth/pin without success. [01:51] I've been having slowness recently, so looked in system monitor & saw that swap is slowly filling up to 100%, with CPU/load growing along with it. I'm wondering if there's an easy way to see what's eating swap, or if this is a known problem. [01:51] billybigrigger ext4 is faster, and ubugtu i have had no problem deleting files [01:51] thadoood: i dunno man. maybe purge the existing libqasound and reinstall? is your deb lookingfor a newer libasound than your release offers? [01:51] boringpackets, no journaling problems or lost data? [01:51] im not sure slestak [01:52] boringpackets: do i have to reinstall my whole OS to switch to ext4 [01:52] billybigrigger none to speak of, and i have done a few improper shutdowns, which had no effect on the system upon reboot [01:52] back [01:52] ill check into that Slestak and get back on it [01:52] brb [01:52] boringpackets, i tried ext4 in the early alpha stages around A4 of jaunty when ext4 was first released and i had some problems with it corrupting data, so im a bit weary now thats all [01:52] ubugtu you can do that, or use partimage or simply tarball your partition [01:52] ubugtu: i kept my /home ext3 and everything else ext4 [01:52] <_newbie_> can some one help me wtih this error? Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory [01:52] billybigrigger i really like ext4, though ive been considering reiser4 [01:52] how can I make some room to store information on the system partition? [01:53] back, for real [01:53] trying to pair my bluetooth headset with ibex, but bluetooth-applet always uses a pin of 0000 even though /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf says 1234. i've also edited /etc/bluetooth/pin without success. [01:53] how much faster is ext4? [01:53] boringpackets, i just want something that will give me good transfer speeds and stable data [01:53] or how can I know how much space I have left on my disk? [01:53] boringpackets, do you run your ext4 drive in raid? [01:53] how do i get an image set as the title screen for a rom in Kamefu? and what format does it need to be? [01:53] ubugtu: it depends on what you use it for. if you have a lot of extremely large files, you'll experience an increase in speed. otherwise, probably not. [01:53] any recommendations on books? [01:53] whats partimage? [01:54] ubugtu not THAT much, but noticeable to me (if its not a placebo effect) [01:54] boringpackets, cause i was also thinking of putting the 2 500gb disks in raid with ext4 and want to know how well that works [01:54] danes_: System > Administration > System monitor [01:54] <_newbie_> can some one help me wtih this error?

[01:54] hey, i have set up compiz fusion and have nice effects on my windows now, but how do i enable so i get same effects in the gnome menu ?? [01:54] billlybigrigger no raid for me, just a boring old 2.5" 250GB [01:54] kryle: not sure offhand, but there is #compiz-fusion [01:54] kryle i suggest you install compizconfig settings manager [01:54] I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.2 on a server and I run do-release-upgrade but I get the message "No new release found"; what's the deal where is 9.04? [01:55] i have that one xD [01:55] hi [01:55] Mike_lifeguard, thanks. Do you know how can I get rid of old packages that are not needed on my system [01:55] where do I have to install GRUB in a triple boot system?

[01:55] dmizer: a2dp is the holy grail of bugs right now for me. ive had a headset for years i cannot pair with any distro. works with win of course [01:55] Counterspell: because you can only upgrade from 8.10 [01:55] danes_: sudo apt-get autoremove (I think) [01:55] how do i set an image as a title screen in the program Kamefu? what format does the image need to be? [01:55] how can I make some room on my hdd to install new updates without affecting the system [01:55] kryle: download compiz config settings manager, i'd suggest simple-ccsm as well [01:55] can someone help with the installation? [01:55] suggestions for an app which can batch-resize images? [01:55] danes_, sudo apt-get clean [01:55] Lacyel: installation of ubuntu? or some software package? [01:55] epalm: imagemagick [01:55] im having a problem with partitions [01:56] ubuntu [01:56] so whose idea was it to package beta version of privoxy and beta version of audacity in 9.04 as stable? [01:56] [Mike_lifeguard]: ubuntu [01:56] danes_, well really, sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean [01:56] epalm: irfan view, for windows [01:56] Lacyel: don't use [], it won't ping people. [01:56] i have all those, and i have selected my favorite effects on everything, its only the gnome meny that dont have any effect =) [01:56] slestak: a2dp? [01:56] slestak: isn't that cmd-line-only? Majix560: for ubuntu [01:56] [Mike_lifeguard]: actually its with the partition and install ubuntu on it [01:56] Lacyel: yes, I can try to help you - what, specifically, is your problem [01:56] [Mike_lifeguard]: sorry its the script :( [01:57] your script is broken :) [01:57] how do I make it pulseaudio not play choppy over the network? [01:57] [Mike_lifeguard]: thanks, i burned a cd here [01:57] dmizer: that is stereo sound over bluetooth, and avrcp is what will allow you to control volume with your headset [01:57] [Mike_lifeguard]: then when i started installing it, i saw there was two partitions already created on my pc [01:57] is there a way to know which applications are the most space consuming? [01:57] [Mike_lifeguard]: and i have 2 hds [01:57] <_newbie4> can some one help me wtih this error? Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory [01:57] [Mike_lifeguard]: each partition seemed to be set for each hd and each partition eats all hd space, the thing is [01:57] epalm: Get wine, which runs windows programs on linux. then get irfan view for windows onto ubuntu. [01:57] Lacyel: is this a dual-boot with Windows or something exotic? [01:58] danes_: top [01:58] [Mike_lifeguard]: actually no, its just windows xp professional [01:58] [Mike_lifeguard]: since this pc is 5 years old [01:58] ok clearly synaptic package manager lied to me :P i thought this was a program to send morse [01:58] marcus_aurelius: i think he's looking for swap consupmtion [01:58] [Mike_lifeguard]: i believe my mother back there asked someone to create two partitions for both hds so she could use all the hds free space to windows xp [01:58] anyone? [01:58] Lacyel: ok, so you need to shrink your windows partition(s) to make room for the ubuntu partitions [01:58] slestak: wouldn't top work for that as well? [01:58] [Mike_lifeguard]: yesss exactly thats what i wanna do === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [01:58] could anyone tell me how to play flash video sound on a bluetooth audio device? [01:58] slestak: i can't even get that far. i'm simply trying to pair the device. it won't pair because the default pin is incorrect, and bluetooth-applet won't give me the opportunity to enter a different pin [01:59] bah [01:59] hi all [01:59] [Mike_lifeguard]: but you see when i try to get some free space of this partition that already exists it says "ohh you gotta delete the previous all" [01:59] HELP! HELP! WHY wil no one tell me how to set an image as a title-screen for rom collection manager Kamefu? [01:59] [Mike_lifeguard]: but i cant just delete whats there :( [01:59] can someone please teach me how to use nautilus to upload documents to a protected website? [01:59] !patience | Majix560 [01:59] Majix560: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:59] I am coming from OSX and was wondering if they have lists of alternative apps kinda like how they do with windows and linux switchers [01:59] or if anybody could recomend some [01:59] !helpme | Majix560 [01:59] Majix560: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [01:59] ajcates8=D alternative apps for what? [01:59] ajcates: what is it that you want? [02:00] [Mike_lifeguard]: so i was wondering if there wasnt a way to get this free partition space and use it to install ubuntu [02:00] Lacyel: yes, of course you can just nuke whatever's on the hard drive now (windows) - is that what you want to do? [02:00] f [02:00] sorry, but no one has said anything to me answering my question [02:00] Lacyel: or do you want to keep Windows so you can still boot into that as well [02:00] marcus_aurelius, thanks, but I am looking for installed apps. My partition is already full, so I need to make some room and I need to know the size of the apps [02:00] [Mike_lifeguard]: i want both windows and ubuntu, but the thing is, the two hds have two partitions, one for each, both have files already inside of it [02:00] @Raf an FTP app, quicklook, quicksliver [02:01] why can't i delete/load songs to/from my ipod in amarok 2? [02:01] [Mike_lifeguard]: one of those partitions still have 50 gb left unused, but its inside the partition, not free space outside the partition [02:01] FTP, you can use Nautilus (Places> [02:01] Lacyel: right, but Gparted can shrink those partitions (assuming there is empty space on the hard drives) [02:01] g2g [02:01] sorry [02:01] bye [02:01] Raf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:01] [Mike_lifeguard]: yea the thing is theres 160gb on the hard drive, but this partition demands 160gb, altough i'm only using 80 gb [02:01] ajcates8=D for FTP use filezilla, and what is quicklook and quicksilver? [02:01] Lacyel: could be that you don't have the drivers for the file format used by your ipod [02:02] installed [02:02] k [02:02] eh? ipod? [02:02] how can I get rid of the temporary files? I really need help. I don't want to mess up with the file system again and end up with a messed ubuntu. I need to make room on my hdd [02:02] I thoguht that was what you said [02:02] @Lacyel quick look is where you press space on any item and it opens it in a little preview window [02:02] danes_, sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean [02:02] billybigrigger, I already tried that [02:03] Lacyel: what do you mean the partition "demands 160GB"? If it's only got X gigs of data in it, then you can shrink it, leaving empty space outside the partition [02:03] sorry laycel, i thyink I read someone elses message under your name [02:03] that only gave me 200mb, but that's not enough :s [02:03] @Lacyel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_Look [02:03] Lacyel: Then use that space to make new partitions for ubuntu [02:03] danes_: how big is your rootfs? [02:03] 8.8 gb [02:03] Lacyel: do you want to take this to PM? kinda noisy in here, etc [02:03] how can i change the default bluetooth pin in ibex? [02:03] could anyone tell me how to play flash video sound on a bluetooth audio device?

[02:04] [Mike_lifeguard]: i have those 2 hds, they both have around 160 gb, but then i also have already two partitions, one for HD1, other for HD2, and it says these partitions have 160 gb size [02:04] marcus_aurelius, /home [02:04] Can anyone tell me of a good video editing program besides Kino?

[02:23] RB2, i see that :( hold on a minute [02:24] since no one is helping me, i am guiting [02:24] RB2, the other options is to install the official driver freom nvida which takes just a bit of work [02:24] lflashlnzl::: make sure your ports are forwarded properly, and i just use the default settings [02:24] Majix560: last i used mame (years ago) the mame 'directories' had a screenshots and title screen directories. You could hit some KEY in mame to make a screen shot that often saved the screen to one or the other. I do recall there being 'packs' you could download for mame that included title and screen shots for all the games.. [02:25] <_Joker_> ola boa noite [02:25] RB2, out of curiosity open a termina and sudo apt-get nvidia-glx-new [02:25] lflashlnzl::: i max my cable connection @ 2.2meg/s constantly with default settings so i dunno what to tell ya [02:25] what is gvfs-fuse-daemon? I need to make my system recognize the free space [02:25] coz_, I can do that, but I thought that, in the end, it was the same. [02:25] how do I make it pulseaudio not play choppy over the network? [02:25] billybigrigger, yea done all of that just wondering,,,, thanks anyway [02:25] how ca i do it? [02:25] RB2, well no not actually the same I had this issue always with ubuntu until intrepid and jaunty just the reverse of you [02:26] hi everyone, i tried to install some nautilus scripts, and because i am really stupid i think i messed something up - possibly with the chmod command. Now when i try to access some folders, nautilus freezes and shuts down. Can anyone help me fix it? please have mercy on a silly user. thanks [02:26] I had Ubuntu installed.. installed windows 7.. and then I re-installed Ubuntu what should I do? is my windows 7 gone? [02:26] !cn > zhenxin2005 [02:26] zhenxin2005, please see my private message [02:26] coz_, lol... it was smooth as glass until 8.10 ... and then everything went to hell in a handbasket [02:26] RB2, also could you pastebin the /etc/X11/xorg.conf? please [02:26] <_Joker_> hi girll let go [02:26] RB2, :( yeah strange some of which is hardware related some due to the nvidia-glx stuff [02:27] GRAG! [02:27] Seriously, how do I tell it not to do the fraking dim on idle, the power management option does nothing it seems! [02:27] coz_, apt-get output: http://www.pastebin.ca/1417895 [02:27] Its rather unusable having to set the brightness back up every 20 seconds [02:28] RB2, ok I thought would happen [02:28] coz_, xorg: http://www.pastebin.ca/1417899 [02:28] coz_, that was after I ran xfix so I could start X again [02:29] RB2, hold on [02:29] RB2, this is ubunt u9.04 correct? [02:29] I dont understand why I'm having so much trouble dual booting... Ive tried all the wikis and have not had any luck [02:29] coz_, yes, indeed [02:29] what is gvfs-fuse-daemon? what is this for? [02:29] Are there plans to enable SELinux in the default Ubuntu installation at any point in the future? [02:30] What is the best method.. windows before ubuntu.. or the other way around? [02:30] bgamari, not that I'm aware of.. but I think that could turn quickly into a nightmare [02:30] RB2, Fedora does it [02:30] RB2, ok let me upload mine I also use nvidia and if you see a difference make the changes in yours restart x "properly" and come back and let me know hold on [02:30] RB2, I'm running a fedora machine right now [02:30] is there an alternative in linux to remote installation services? [02:30] RB2, I haven't seen an AVC for months [02:30] Greed, ubuntu after windows, so windows doesnt take the grub out [02:31] anyone know any good database modeling tools? [02:31] RB2, ok take a look at mine http://www.pastebin.ca/1417903 [02:31] RB2, make the comparison and insert the missing Section "module" [02:32] any good planning tools (like a schedualler [02:32] bgamari, I haven't been that lucky... hehe I use it on CentOS for server applications, but not on my workstation [02:32] coz_, ok, let me take a look [02:32] coz_, I'll run nvidia-xconfig and compare [02:33] RB2, properly restart x with ctrl+alt+F1 then log in.. then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [02:33] Hi all. How can I edit the appearance of a gnome controls theme? [02:33] coz_, how do I re-enable Ctrl-Alt-F1 [02:33] oh wait, that was backspace [02:33] lol [02:33] hi, trying to install kubuntu, but having a hard time to configure software raid during install. Can anyone help with this issue? [02:33] RB2, right that way is the most improper way to restart x it doesnt shut down applications properly [02:35] coz_, this is the nvidia-xconfig version: http://www.pastebin.ca/1417907 [02:35] Hello, with apf (active policy firewall) how can I apply the hosts.deny rules to ALL interfaces? [02:35] RB2, mm ok [02:35] RB2: it was disabled in jaunty as not to confuse users. Alt+SysRq+K is the new Crtl+Alt+Backspace now [02:35] It's only affecting eth0 at the moment. [02:35] RB2, that actually "should" work [02:35] hi, nautilus has slowed down after i clumsily installed some scripts. anyone wants to help me to fix permissions? thanks a lot. [02:35] coz_, nope.. EE errors all over the place [02:35] RB2, i dont think you need the Option "DPMS" [02:36] RB2, but that is not I dont believe the issue here [02:36] coz_, yeah, dpms would just be the power saving mode, etc... [02:36] RB2, right but I generally do not like to have DPMS on [02:37] coz_, I have no idea what's wrong, but I'm not the only one having it and it's kind of abysmal that it's been two releases and the issue still exists. [02:37] I need help. I have free space on my hdd, but the "/" partition shows 0 bytes available. What can I do [02:37] RB2, ok as I said the other options is to install this manually [02:37] hi, how can i install software raid in ubuntu? [02:38] RB2, you will need to remove the nvidia driver you have now though with sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-installer --uninstall [02:38] coz_, will that remove the modalias stuff and the kernel modules as well? [02:38] RB2, yes it should [02:38] danes_: you can make the partition bigger [02:38] coz_, can I just remove all the packages in synaptic?

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [02:39] RB2, if it cant find the linux thing then do sudo apt-get install linux-source [02:39] Mike_lifeguard, because I have very little space left [02:40] bahh Mike_lifeguard thanks [02:40] RB2, which command? [02:40] is there a save session option so that when I restart the computer all of my windows are saved? [02:40] danes_: but you said you have free space on the disc (but that free space isn't inside the partition) [02:40] vices: you mean hibernation? [02:40] coz_, the nvidia installer... === d^-^b is now known as d[- [02:41] nah i mean restarting or shutting down the computer === d[- is now known as d^-^b [02:41] Mike_lifeguard, ok, do you know which command shows the space available on the disk with the respective partitions? So I can paste the info to show you my problem [02:41] hey guys what's a nice GUI tool to search for a package and install it? [02:41] Synaptic only seems to search "installed" packages [02:41] vices: there is an option to have the system remember what programs you're running, yes [02:41] I wanna type 7z and click and get the package [02:41] aptitude [02:41] aptitude - thank you. I always forget the name [02:41] oh cool, where is that?

[02:45] danes_: sudo fdisk -l will show you the same thing in terminal [02:45] ah okay [02:45] Mike_lifeguard, thanks, that is the one :) [02:45] danes_: Gparted won't let you do what?

Nautilus no longer allows me to connect to my bluetooth devices with obex://[address] How can I use a GUI to browse and retrieve files? [02:51] still those 2 packages [02:51] I typed 7z in the quick search [02:52] is there any way i can use my Itunes library in ubuntu? its on an external drive and when i open the drive in a file viewer something is playing the songs when i hover over the file with my icon,, but rhythmbox wont notice the songs it may be my vlc player which i believe was the only one able to play the songs =( [02:52] s/icon/mouse/ [02:53] I need to clean my boot logo from the kubuntu-desktop junk to the default Ubuntu stuff. (I was trying kubuntu and went back to Ubuntu) [02:53] rainofkayos: qhen you put the mouse over an audio file nautilus plays it [02:53] Any point me to what's new in 9.04 please. [02:53] no offense meant to any kubuntu people [02:54] i see but i figured nautilus was calling on some audio app to play it.. [02:54] Please, anybody, is there any way to lock the brightness at a set level, because the gnome-power-manager doesn't know what it is doing it seems, and it is driving me bonkers upping the brightness with the fn-blah combo every 20-30 seconds [02:54] and if thats the case... my file browser has the codec for itunes.. and my music players dont .. =( lol [02:55] Mike_lifeguard, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/168282/ [02:55] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/168282/ === ripps_ is now known as ripps [02:55] Are there any tools in Ubuntu for backing up a partition?

Nautilus no longer allows me to connect to my bluetooth devices with obex://[address] How can I use a GUI to browse and retrieve files? [02:55] xangua: i wanted to be able to play the itunes songs/files from my music player as well [02:55] valued: man cp [02:56] valued: man tar [02:56] lol [02:56] funny. [02:56] it is true [02:56] what's funny? [02:56] i'd been looking for something like partimage, but it seems not to be part of the latest toolkit. [02:56] tar and cp would backup a partition fine [02:56] back to windows 3.11 [02:56] valued: partimage should be available... [02:56] argh. so only command line? [02:56] or dos [02:57] gparted [02:57] ? [02:57] i have a vista machine i need to backup before the kids mess with it. [02:57] isn't gparted just a partition editor? [02:57] gparted livecd [02:57] oh you want to make a image of an OS thats bootable? [02:57] danes_: can you show me output of sudo fdisk -l? [02:57] no, i just want a backup so I can restore it if they nuke it. [02:57] just the files then? [02:57] it's a new vista machine with no install disks of any sort. === ienorand is now known as arand [02:58] yes. I have a buffalo drive and tried copying, but the drive eventually turns into a read-only device. [02:58] Heh. Finally finished setting up my theme [02:58] did you mount with options? [02:58] looks nice, too. Sea-blue kind of colors :) [02:58] Mike_lifeguard, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/168283/ [02:58] no, just the defaults from the live cd. [02:59] hmm [02:59] my usual machine (kubuntu) is giving me grief trying to back it up similarly. [02:59] does linux get viruses? [02:59] aaron_, nope [02:59] no [03:00] why? I mean my ubuntu gets slow at times. [03:00] valued: you could make a raw image of the machine using dd, but that uses alot of space (The amount of space of the hard drive you are copying wioth it) [03:00] I thought maybe I got a virus. [03:00] aaron_: It's possible, but very unlikely. [03:00] most likely resources aaron [03:00] a lot things other than a virus can slow you down [03:00] run top [03:00] aaron_: why does 'slow' mean viruses? [03:00] anyone knows how can I connect my laptop from terminal to internet using the wireless adapter? I don't have any other internet connection and I need to fix some broken packages [03:00] aaron_: If you're using WINE, you could have a Windows virus. [03:00] not using Wine. [03:00] valued: as what user you mount the drive? [03:00] danes_: sorry, I don't see the "3~~MiB" that you want to allocate? Where do you see that? [03:01] runnning 9.04 ,, was workign fine now crawwling,, up to 100% cpu usage.. :-( [03:01] aaron_: Using a program like top or htop could show you what apps are using most of your processor. [03:01] although, I could easily be missing it :P [03:01] hey guys.. i have 8 gigs of ram.. i made my swap partition 8gigs too, but i never see any of it being used. should i resize the swap partition? [03:01] and what file system is the drive? [03:01] i'd read about using dd. i've played with other tools, but they aren't reliable. [03:01] when a system slows down it usally means a virus or some software error or many other things. [03:01] Deadpool: if ur not using swap thats not bad [03:01] Deadpool: it means your not using all you memory [03:01] it can't be hardware resources cause it should be slow since I loaded ubuntu on . [03:01] I've tried using 'keep', but there's no docs on it, and I can't restore using it. :-( [03:01] Mike_lifeguard, it appears on -> System -> Administration -> system monitor -> File Systems [03:01] valued: as I already told you, use tar/cp [03:01] Deadpool: swap should be i believe 1.5 to 2 times the size of memory [03:02] Mike_lifeguard, I know that space is free because I uninstalled several apps [03:02] keep? [03:02] Deadpool: 8 gig of swap is rally too much [03:02] I'll read up on 'cp' and see what the 'backup' option looks like, thanks. [03:02] danes_: then that space must be inside a mounted partition [03:02] 'tar' has so many options it scares me. [03:02] valued: mount the drive with r/w options as root and tar the partition and cp it to the buffalo [03:02] danes_: so the system already has access to that space [03:02] Mike_lifeguard, that makes sense [03:02] -cvf [03:02] Mike_lifeguard, how can I unmount it? [03:02] Deadpool: i have 1 and it is used rarely [03:03] i have 8gigs of ram... i think that 1.5 to 2x swap space to ram was intended for people with about 512megs of ram.. not 8 gigs [03:03] ok [03:03] tar -cvf nameoftarfile.tar nameofdirectorytotar [03:03] the drive initially mounts with r/w, but after a while becomes read only. it's very irritating. [03:03] Mike_lifeguard, or how can I identify the mounted partitions? [03:03] sudo umount /dev/? (or in partition manager, if you want to use gui) [03:03] danes_, single mode [03:03] valued: what does dmesg say? [03:03] im going to google about it [03:03] and umount [03:03] thanks. [03:03] how do i query with dmesg? [03:03] with that command [03:04] 'dmesg' [03:04] or even messages [03:04] valued: thats a sign that the drive is having issues.. if linux detects an error.. it remounts it read only for safty. [03:04] What's the command I need to fix broken package manager? [03:04] maybe fsck it will help you out then [03:04] sebsebseb: broken in what way? [03:04] whats the fs of the drive ntfs? [03:04] Mike_lifeguard: can't install updates [03:04] hrm... i think it's ntfs which doesn't help. [03:04] why not? [03:05] sebsebseb: does it give you a reason? [03:05] I've followed all the info on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 and still cannot get my soundcard to work. alsa shows no devices. ive added to modules, added my user to audio group, even recompiled. I'm stuck. Can anyone help me? [03:05] i would chkdsk the drive from windows and try to mount it again [03:05] danes_: although... why do you want to unmount the partition? [03:05] i found my answer regarding ram.. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-swap-space.html [03:05] no reason, it just starts failing and says stuff is read only. [03:05] Mike_lifeguard, well I am not sure if that is taking space [03:06] Also my open gl dosen't work . [03:06] my ntfs external works fine,, i even play my vbox vms and music from it [03:06] * rainofkayos accept my itunes lib [03:06] =( [03:06] Mike_lifeguard, anyways, I think there are some mounted partitions that were not unmounted correctly [03:06] How can you fix open gl [03:06] s/accept/except/ [03:06] anyone that can help with VNC setup? [03:06] sure, what's wrong nesrail ? [03:06] danes_: unmounting the partition just means you can't access it... it still leaves all the data where it is physically on disk [03:06] cause I can't use blender even though I installed it but when I click on it nothing happens. [03:06] nesrail: What's your VNC problem? [03:06] Mike_lifeguard: precisely [03:06] aaron_: you'll need to be more specific for anyone to help you [03:07] nesrail talk here [03:07] <---names aaron too =) [03:07] rainofkayos: precisely what? [03:07] I can't get open gl to work. if I try opening any app that uses open gl like blender It won't open at all. [03:07] nesrail, you basically just need to set a port [03:07] hrm... I'm gonna log off and try 'tar' and see what happens. [03:07] thanks again. [03:07] run the vnc server, set a port & password on the server [03:07] Mike_lifeguard: was agreeing with what you said about umount [03:08] and btw, who was having issues with their ntfs filesystem? was that you, rainofkayos? [03:08] Mike_lifeguard, ok, I got that. Then my question is: how come, if I made space by uninstalling some apps I am not able to use such space? Is there a place where I can paste a picture? [03:08] then from another computer on the vnc client just connect w/ that password [03:08] no [03:08] birk, is it that simple?? [03:08] oh, ok :o [03:08] yes [03:08] I tried running by terminal and I get a error [03:08] I need to work on my mothers computer remotely [03:08] if you're behind a router, and you're trying to vnc in, you'll have to do some port forwarding w/ the router, but other than that it's that simple [03:08] from what I found on google. Is that I am having trouble with nvidia drivers. [03:08] Wazzup [03:08] bluetooth-wizard never shows and devices; hcitool from the commandline does. Nautilus no longer allows me to connect to my bluetooth devices with obex://[address] How can I use a GUI to browse and retrieve files? [03:08] hmm [03:09] birk, is that possible or should I stick with the "msn messenger" way [03:09] danes_: you should be able to use all the space available (ie free space in mounted partitions) [03:09] nesrail, mothers computer is on windows ? [03:09] yeah it's possible [03:09] yes [03:09] then [03:09] on windows enable remote desktop [03:09] on linux use: rdestop mothers.host [03:10] rdesktop baby =) [03:10] office, i think he wants vnc not rdc [03:10] and thats it [03:10] brik rdp its faster [03:10] Mike_lifeguard, exactly. That is my point, but I don't know why, it is not taking the "free space" as free. Where can I paste a picture, so that I can show you the output of system monitor? [03:10] on linux - windows [03:10] that's debatable, but ok :l [03:10] office, thanks :) i will try that [03:10] the blender error is : http://dpaste.com/42541/ [03:11] hey one question [03:11] dunno... [03:11] i like to login via ssh on my ubuntu 9.04 [03:11] but i cant till i login in gdm [03:11] is that normal? [03:11] Can someone else let us know where danes_ can post an image? like a pastebin but for images? [03:11] i like setting aliases for all my rdesktop sessions [03:11] like i do a normal startup [03:11] * Mike_lifeguard is braindead today :) [03:11] any idea how I can fix this? [03:11] then i cant login via ssh till i log in local on the client [03:11] Mike_lifeguard: tinypic [03:12] how can i get CCSM for 9.04 [03:12] c0ntract0r, what does lspci|grep audio say about your card unless it a usb card [03:12] danes_: got that?

[03:15] ( Unable to start settings manager 'Gnome-Settings-Daemon' ) [03:15] Mike_lifeguard, let me try that [03:15] how is 9.04? is it safe to upgrade to it? [03:15] or still has bugs? [03:15] rainofkayos, -o loop onlny mount image [03:15] but he dont install vista under ubuntu [03:15] aaron_: I think they all have bugs :) [03:15] without vbox or smt [03:15] J_Wesker: have you cleaned out your fan/airholes and around the cpu? [03:16] aaron_: but to be honest, jaunty isn't as stable as intrepid for me... your mileage may vary [03:16] i thought he was trying to make it accesible to something of the likes [03:16] =( [03:16] J_Wesker, add to grub vista boot image [03:16] The reason is that I can't run open gl and thought maybe if I upgrade I can get it fix. Not sure. [03:17] Mike_lifeguard, http://i43.tinypic.com/2q83fc4.png [03:17] this is weird.. I have 3 external usb hard drives attatched to this ubuntu box. i boot up. None are seen (not even by fdisk -l) UNTILL i plug in a 4th one.. then somthing kicks in. and all 4 get seen, and gnome opens up a file manager window for each one. [03:17] rainofkayos: Rhythymbox will play m4as, I'm pretty sure. [03:17] Rhythmbox, even [03:17] danes_: yes, so that space is empty, and it is mounted normally, and you should be able to write to it [03:17] c0ntract0r, and a play -l says no sound card found correct? [03:17] danes_: *should* ... if you can't, I don't know why that'd be the case :\ [03:17] chuck_ correct [03:18] So how do I see all 7z pacakges in synaptic? [03:18] Hi all... any of you running ubuntu of a T400? [03:19] on a T400 rather [03:20] back again. 'tar' failed on a write, something like 'tried to write 1024, only wrote 345 bytes'. [03:20] ?? [03:20] ESphynx: do you see all the packages now? just enter 7z into the quick search box [03:20] so it looks like there's problems with my USB drive.

[03:48] billybigrigger: it was a ubuntu question since I am currently running ubuntu and needed to mount in UBUNTU and you suck at helping [03:49] waglap::: no, you suck at understanding [03:49] waglap::: i told you if you want to install vista, YOU NEED TO INSTALL IT FIRST, before ubuntu [03:49] you told me to install windows and I had already said the dvd rom was broken der [03:49] i found a couple of solutions online, i tried them ,but none works [03:49] so can anyone tell me why 'sudo apt-get install' don't work for me in cli?

(use it carefully!) [03:50] c0ntract0r, while you where doing that i found this http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-ens1371 i do not know if you tried it yet but it might be worth looking at [03:50] * billybigrigger accepts Dr_Willis's award [03:50] billybigrigger, why i must install vista first before ubuntu ? [03:50] chuck_ i will go try right now :) [03:50] Dr_Willis: how do i bring up that little box so i can type in the xkill command? === danopia`cow is now known as danopia [03:50] office::: becuase windows will overwrite grub, and you won't be able to dual boot ubuntu and windows [03:50] ubugtu: alt-f2 i think [03:51] billybigrigger, so what [03:51] billybigrigger> haha its windows dvd right? youre very dumb and no its not a hacked version dim wit [03:51] When doing a fresh install of ubuntu, is it best to have your home folder in it own partition?

[03:51] waglap::: who's dumb now? [03:51] when you uninstall applications using gnome app-install, does it purge of just remove the application? [03:51] Dr_Willis: why? what does xkill do? [03:51] ./ignore billybigrigger [03:51] Any one got the options snd-hda-intel info for an Dell XPS m1530? [03:52] I will work on it. Thanks!

I can think of no easy way for you to install vista at this point. [03:54] waglap, but new cd [03:54] waglap::: k, lets start from the beginning...i'm here to help you, not argue with you, so if your asking for help, listen...now are you trying to install WINDOWS ONLY, or DUAL-BOOT??? [03:54] also billybugger is right, you should install vista first, then add ubuntu if you want both. [03:54] hay [03:54] I'm trrying to install Ubuntu 9.04 on a 1.5 TB HDD. Installs just fine but won't boot. No error message. Help? [03:54] Chaorain::: did you skip the usplash and look for errors? [03:55] Chaorain::: or do you even get to usplash? [03:55] no [03:55] Hey guys [03:55] Chaorain::: do you see grub start? [03:55] is there an easy way to associate files in gnome with a wine application [03:55] dvd rom is dead I have the vista iso ubuntu was installed via usb drive.......... I want to install vista along with the ubuntu thats already installed [03:55] Dr_Disk: alt+F2 didnt work [03:55] Chaorain, remove splash quiet [03:55] It goes through the bios and no messages [03:55] Chaorain, add debug [03:55] where? [03:55] for example assigning .doc files to open with MS word instead of Oo.org? [03:55] Dr_Willis: alt+f2 didnt work [03:56] how do you reset video settings to default my ubuntu does not show 1024 x 768 anymore [03:56] mikea: right click on the fiel [03:56] on the live cd boot screen? [03:56] waglap: your drive is dead, or your vista DVD is? === blind_ is now known as blind [03:56] and i remember fixing it before by deleting something [03:56] ubugtu::: alt-f2 *should* bring up the run command dialog box, but it doesn't work on my machine either since 9.04 [03:56] waglap, no easy way to do that unless you have an external or other dvd/cd drive that works. [03:56] FUbbyCD, dpkg-reconfigure xorg.conf [03:56] drive [03:56] mikea: i think ive seen it done by using a 'script' that calls wine with the right options/paths. and you assoicate a file wit that script. [03:56] thankyou [03:56] u da man [03:56] mikea: seen an example of tht for firefox and using 'wine utorrent.exe' [03:56] waglap, reinstall vista then install ubuntu you can make a USB vista install if you want... anywhere close to what you want? [03:56] ubuntu has turned into ubugtu since 9.04 [03:56] yoyoned: the problem is there isn't a program listed for word, even though there are launchers in the menu.. [03:57] waglap::: you could always run windows inside ubuntu through a virtual machine like i said about 5 times [03:57] Package `xorg.conf' is not installed and no info is available. [03:57] Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, [03:57] Dr_Willis: That works? Having firefox use 'wine utorrent.exe' for torrent files? [03:57] office, Grub doesn't t even load I am puting it in a /boot partition (Ext2 600 MB) [03:57] billybigrigger: ok so I will but how do I do that if I only have the iso? [03:57] how do you get the dialog box to work [03:57] FUbbyCD, fuck [03:57] sorry [03:57] blind: the script had a few other things i recall.. I never tried it. [03:57] waglap::: easy, install virtual box [03:57] np [03:57] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:57] with sudo [03:57] that would be it [03:57] thanks [03:57] ok billybigrigger I will give it a go [03:57] mikea: what type of file are you trying to open. Can you just use openoffice [03:57] blind: but that was the core of the idea.. assoicate the .torrent with the 'usetorrent.sh' script [03:58] yoyoned: OpenOffice works, but meh, I prefer office 2k7 :-) === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [03:58] Hey guys.

[04:02] Drastic, it wasnt installing any of those systems (xp and ubuntu) [04:02] mattgyver, everything and anything you can find in ms-dos is available in ubuntus terminal, and much more. Different syntaxes and command names though :) [04:03] Drastic, now i got a full partition free, and another with vista.... [04:03] i just installed an osx theme for ubuntu. is there a way to get the close, min, and max buttons on the left side of the window frame? [04:03] will gdesklets ever work with 9.04?? [04:03] jaypur: OK, so stick your XP disc in, reboot and install XP like you would normally. When you get to the partitioning bit delete all your partitions, then create a new one for XP and leave the rest of the space free [04:03] XiXaQ, 80% person on this # never see msdos [04:03] ;) [04:03] how do i start the gnome desktop? [04:03] !pulseaudio [04:03] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [04:03] poningru: I'm trying to get my Android phone to control the XBMC media center. According to the website it works, but it provides no instructions whatsoever and Google has been unhelpful. [04:04] office, I'm sure :) [04:04] uh... [04:04] jaypur: Then when you install ubuntu you should create a new partition in the free space (don't install side by side, create a new partition for it) [04:04] Drastic, yeah, thats my plan, let me see if it works now.... ill let ya know! [04:04] you have xbmc running on ubuntu or an xbox? [04:04] jaypur: Good luck :P [04:04] civpro, gdm start [04:04] chuck thanks [04:05] jaypur: I did it the other day, actually, but not over Vista [04:05] Dragnslcr, for real man, thats really sux, we buy a new pc, and we got that crap... vista...

I had the disk full, then I made some space, but the free space is not being recognized and therefore is not available. What can I do? look -> http://i43.tinypic.com/2q83fc4.png [04:05] Drastic, for real man, thats really sux, we buy a new pc, and we got that crap... vista... [04:05] hello all, how can I continue something (like using TAB) on !something (from bash_history), I mean, when I write "!ls" on cli, it's giving me the last command that I wrote from bash_history (for example "ls -la" ) I want to know how can I TAB it.. for complete the command before running it [04:05] Dragnslcr, sorry wrong message [04:05] teapot, uh doesnt answer my question [04:06] but you have to install upnp support for xbmc [04:06] do you have babylon xbmc? [04:06] jaypur: Happy to say I've never used Vista :P [04:06] poningru: Ah, there was no indication of that when enabling that. [04:06] Should /etc/network/if-up.d still be used? I can't find anything about it in the manpage for ifup or ifconfig, or anything like that [04:06] Could someone look at this and tell me how I could form the logic? http://privatepaste.com/221GqNdlOo [04:07] Drastic, I just switched from vista...it sux [04:07] poningru: when enabling UPnP.... I need sleep. [04:07] ?? [04:07] Drastic, unfortenetly i am using, and ill tell you something... this is one of the worst things i have ever tried in a computer... [04:08] Drastic, o my god [04:08] Drastic, an error again... damn man.... [04:08] jaypur: What error?

[04:13] not sure who i should report this to but... there'sa problem with the ubuntu forums... Every page mentons the word "jaunty" now, thanks to some message at the top of the page... this makes for lots of annoying search hits when looking for solutions with jaunty. anyone know who I should mention this to, so it can be made sane? [04:13] teapot, k [04:13] i keep getting mode not supported on first bootup, is there a way around this?

[04:28] but I dont know exactly [04:28] you dont have wifi driver on ubunut [04:28] poningru: I think you're right. [04:28] DaveCo: i've done it lots of times. [04:28] DaveCo - depends on what you want to them to do [04:28] as in if you have a upnp server with songs on it your upnp client can play songs from the server [04:29] office, yes, I didn't explain myself. The other computer connects to internet only with wireless card. Can I still make it? [04:29] poningru: Yeah, that's what I thought. [04:29] DaveCo: you just have to have realistic expectations [04:29] so by controller I meant a upnp client [04:29] DaveCo, I'd do just to see if it works [04:29] danes_, if you have ethernet card on this compuer then yes [04:29] Anybody here expert with bridge?

At least I have never heard about. === UnrealMiniMe is now known as UnrealMiniMe|BRB [04:33] mobi-sheep__, there is a dns related package you install for it to run [04:33] _danes_, easiest be install from cd [04:33] Mike_lifeguard: top [04:33] how do i install TrueCrypt on 9.04? [04:34] Opshlds: There are Ubuntu Support documentary and community documentary on the Ubuntu website. However, if you prefer human support, then you can do so here. :) [04:34] dayo: that shows what each process is using of ram, doesn't it? [04:34] mobi-sheep__, and then you can go into network manager and have it do share connection [04:34] Yeah, I def prefer human support? [04:34] poningru: What package is that? I tried bridge-utils as outlined in one of the websites recently. [04:34] my father upgraded his ubuntu last night and the wireless stopped working. It is a sis191 (module sis190) but dmesg shows "wlan0: link is not ready" and nothing more. It worked before upgrade. [04:35] Opshlds: State your issues. People here will answer if they know the solution. [04:35] mobi-sheep__, trying to find it [04:35] So... I've just installed Hardy Heron 8.04, and Was trying to figure out what kernel version I have?

[04:35] <_danes_> office, then I'm lost. It is more complicated. I think that I will wait until I get a wired connection. [04:36] Mike_lifeguard: yeah [04:36] mobi-sheep__, dnsmasq-base [04:36] Opshlds: "uname -a" in the terminal will tell you. [04:36] thats it [04:36] Nice [04:36] dayo: and if firefox is eating memory, but killing it reduces ram usage but not swap usage then there's a problem right? I mean... RAM isn't even full, so no swap should be used at all [04:36] well you can install dnsmasq [04:36] but -base isnt the whole thing and I recommend that [04:36] <_danes_> office, one last thing, how can I connect when using eth0?

[04:40] everything works fine for me here now with 8.10 [04:41] i would rather test the latest in a VM for a while before i go and upgrade [04:41] hiiiiiiii............? [04:41] donavan_, right click it click edit connections wireless tap/ left click the one you want to connect to then click edit there should be a tab to connect auto [04:41] DaveCo: take the Pentium 4, add any compatible memory from the others, take the biggest hard drive, make it the master, if you need another one, make it slave.. and go from there. [04:41] DaveCo: I don't know if you can do that. Unless you're talking about 'distcc' [04:41] !info distcc [04:41] DaveCo: its not that hard.. just take the best of everything, and put it in one box. [04:41] distcc (source: distcc): Simple distributed compiler client and server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.18.3-8 (jaunty), package size 162 kB, installed size 432 kB [04:41] rainofkayos: do NOT upgrade.. its really breaking everything [04:41] _danes_, first you must share internet connection in com[puter with net [04:41] hiiiiiiiiii [04:41] Mike_lifeguard: i think it's actually 'F' not 'f' [04:41] fungos: yep im aware.. thats usually like a 'standard' no [04:41] fungos: ?.. thats ridiculous.. i've had no problems at all. [04:41] dont upgrade unless you need to [04:42] <_danes_> office, yes, but If I connect it directly to the router I don't need to do that, right? [04:42] rainofkayos: ive not had a single issue at all.. i know some of hte intel graphics chips are causing probs. [04:42] IndyGunFreak: whats your version of python? [04:42] dayo: figured it out... though total swap usage (in system monitor) doesn't go down when killing high-swap-using processes like firefox [04:42] _danes_, if directly to router try sudo dhclient3 eth0- [04:42] _danes_, if directly to router try sudo dhclient3 eth0 [04:42] is it > 2.5 ?

[04:52] compubomb: just dont use fakeraid or software raid, and you should be ok [04:52] RAMBO: the partition programs are about all the same [04:53] rainofkayos: yeah.. [04:53] b43? [04:53] compubomb: fakeraid / software raid ...recipe for pain in many cases [04:53] rainofkayos: has some disk checking utilities, etc.. its pretty handy to have actually [04:53] cool.. im really bad with names .. i.e. packages, etc [04:53] IndyGunFreak: argh. I need to find my GParted CD. I know I have one around somewhere. Can't I do it within Vista? [04:53] Broadcom 43x driver, i think [04:53] IndyGunFreak: does it have the ntfs-3g?

[04:56] jake: linux is more configurable and modular than windows.. its easier to 'secure' [04:56] RAMBO: i'd say theres a really good chance of it.. windows likes to do its own thing w/ the MBR.. but iv'e got no W7 experience [04:56] RAMBO, yes [04:56] Pooq: How do I prevent that? i like my vista and ubuntu to work. [04:56] depends on the level of security your talking... but linux is usually able to be way more secure than windows [04:57] Here you can go crazy [04:57] Chaorain: are you tryingt o put it on an external drive? [04:57] but SElinux is annoying [04:57] install vista first [04:57] You have to install windows first then linux [04:57] jake: assuming you run as a normal user and not as root at all times, dont share your password, etc...pretty secure [04:57] IngyGunFreak, No Internal SATA [04:57] that is the easiest way to do it [04:57] pooq: I got my lappy with vista, then installed ubuntu second.

[04:58] expliots only :) [04:58] jake: lets go with "at least as secure as OSX because our default browser doesnt do stupid things like running executables that are found inside zips that happen to be downloaded through the browser" [04:58] IngyGunFreak, looks like it. From old install all the files are there [04:58] usually people use AV apps on linux if they share disks to windows hosts [04:58] Chaorain: so what happens when you boot up, it just goes straight to windows? [04:59] agoole: apt-get source [04:59] agoole: you can use "dpkg-buildpackage" to rebuild it after youve made whatever changes you want to make [04:59] IngyGunFreak, nope just sits there. never gets to Grub [04:59] as long as you secure the super user account security ROX on linux [04:59] jake: essentially, it'd need to be a targetted attack [04:59] Chaorain, you dont install grub ! [04:59] maco: the package gspca seems only available as a source, will apt-get source command download it and install it ? [04:59] ok guiez, I need flash, should I get swfdec, adobe or gnash, any diffrence???? [05:00] agoole: apt-get source only downloads the source package [05:00] u need to unarchive it still [05:00] i think [05:00] maco: ok thanks [05:00] office, I'm just doing the standard install from ubuntu 9.04 live CD [05:00] wow this system is awsome [05:00] agoole: i dont know how that package works / why it only contains source code. im guessing module-assistant is needed just like the alsa-driver package [05:00] hello. i'm having sound issues on jaunty 9.04 64bit with a sound blaster audigy 4.

[05:05] Chaorain, mount new disk [05:05] so if i load a script that does rm -Rf /opt/ into your crontab [05:05] so since viruses basicly dont work on linux attacks have to be manuel or over a network [05:05] office, already on it [05:05] maco: ok greed [05:05] <[esde]> how to resize my Ubuntu Netbook Remix [05:05] Chaorain, and show me sudo fdisk -l [05:05] lol agreed [05:05] <[esde]> its like 4 gigs.

I don't understand [05:10] pumpkinseed: it's a toggle to enable or disable spdif [05:11] dtchen: so I am stuck in mono? [05:11] [esde], if i might suggest download gpated live cd burn iso use it to boot then partition away. [05:11] rainofkayos: I would, but I'm running in kde, the gnome usage analyzer is one of the better ones though imo [05:11] pumpkinseed: for 50% of Audigy owners, it needs to be muted. yours needs to be unmuted. [05:11] =( [05:11] pumpkinseed: no, disregard the 'mono' tag [05:11] okay [05:11] pumpkinseed: it's simply a binary toggle [05:11] [esde], gparted [05:11] What data is stored in /var/log/daemon.log?

[05:12] Chaorain, One of these disk will remove ? or no [05:12] so they can get system passwords or just passes for social networking sites [05:12] Chaorain, with partition are the /boot partition [05:12] pumpkinseed: some application flipped it [05:13] dtchen: wow... I love linux [05:13] dtchen: thanks for your help though!!! [05:13] um... [05:13] hi [05:13] ever since upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 I got the following error when launching mplayer: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libartsc.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [05:13] bullgard4: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-572-what-is-daemon-log [05:13] - would anyone know how I can fix this? [05:13] office, no /boot partition. just installed in root partition [05:14] eh [05:14] Ubuntu doesn't want to work when I have my video cards set up in SLI with the proprietary driver...but when I have only one card it works fine [05:14] rainofkayos: Why is this separated into a separate log? Why is this separation from syslog necessary or advantageous? [05:14] It's all set up properly in the BIOS, and Ubuntu detects both cards under lspci fine [05:14] Chaorain, on with partition are the /boot folder with vmlinuz [05:14] X fails to start up with both cards though... [05:14] bullgard4: for a lot of reasons i can see [05:15] bullgard4: in most cases for a normal user maybe nothing beneficial [05:15] rainofkayos: Please name the 3 most important ones. [05:15] Tyrath: I don't know if it's in 9.04 but in 8.10 to fix that you'd do sudo apt-get install libartsc0 [05:15] hola? [05:15] bullgard4: verbosity, redundancy, select cases [05:16] rainofkayos: Your argument "in most cases for a normal user maybe nothing beneficial" is not relevant. A normal user will not look into syslog either. [05:16] a daemon may log one line to syslog or messages where it logs more verbosely to the daemon log [05:16] lol bullgard4 thats true [05:16] office, you mean sdd1? [05:16] * AngryBananas is afraid of daemons! [05:16] lol i pronounce it like daymons.. people pronounce it like demons.. [05:16] it makes me aggrivated lol [05:16] Chaorain, i dont know ! you must know on what partition have /boot folder [05:17] I pronounce it day-mons too rainofkayos ^^, is that the correct way though? [05:17] never even thought about it until now [05:17] i also pronounce queue like 'kay'..... people get upset with me [05:17] hehe [05:17] Chaorain, sudo mkdir /1 [05:17] Chaorain, sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /1 [05:17] rainofkayos: Just throwing 3 catchwords is no useful argumentation. Can you elaborate what you mean by " verbosity, redundancy, select case" in this discussion? I know these 3 words in general English well. [05:17] office, 8.10 boots off of sdd1, trying to boot 9.04 off of sdc1 [05:18] haha. yeah, i was confused about that word for years... i pronounced it "kew-wee". [05:18] OxDeadC0de: No luck :/ [05:18] that one for me is "que" [05:18] Chaorain, ok [05:18] verbosity because like i said its possible that a process would log more information to the daemon log that the messages log.. the messages is kind of catch all.. a lot of stuff logs to messages or syslog.. [05:18] office, sdc1 is now mounted to /l [05:18] Tyrath: aptitude search libarts is anything returned? [05:18] Did no-one else have difficulties with mplayer when they upgraded to the latest ubuntu? [05:18] #irc://irc.mozilla.org [05:18] Then you have the crazy English who call a line, a queue [05:18] Can anyone help me out with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/168397/ I keep getting this problem every time I try installing these packages.. I dont know how to get this resolved [05:19] possibly that could help you by providing redundany where you can find info in more than one place like messages and daemon log [05:19] Chaorain, no [05:19] OxDeadC0de: all I get is: mplayerthumbs - thumbnail generator for video files on Konqueror [05:19] and special case like maybe you install an application thats a daemon and maybe it only logs to daemon log [05:19] Chaorain, if boot are sdd1 mount sdd1 [05:19] keith: well a line is a queue :) [05:19] Chaorain, sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /1 [05:19] [05:19] Callum, try this http://rmarcus.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/ubuntu-with-two-graphics-cards/ [05:20] keith: as long as its not a line that you draw :) [05:20] office, I'm running off of sdd1 [05:20] calc: Oh, I know it is... but it is weird to call it one. :p [05:20] all applications dont log to messages by default [05:21] Chaorain, with what disk is the system with want to boot ?!@!@?!??! [05:21] Tyrath: "locate libartsc.so.0" it may be aRts sound system wasn't put into 9.04 for some odd reason? [05:22] Chaorain, sdd ? [05:22] OxDeadC0de: yeah, get this libartsc.so.0 turns up in locate but when I go to that directory the file isn't there [05:22] and many applications can be configure to log diff verbosity levels diff places under diff conditions, also applications and processes have different logging behaviors by dafault.. possibly something you installed or are running is logging there. ,, possibly even log consolidation if your running a few apps on one host you may find it more convenient to log to check issues or status from [05:22] I am sticking with 8.10 unitil they eol it [05:22] chuck_: I want them to be running under SLI mode... [05:22] Tyrath: run "updatedb" to update the locate database [05:23] Cryptic_Donkey: me too [05:23] I did nvidia-xconfig --sli=on and it still won't start X [05:23] office, I want to boot 9.04 off of sdc1 (new HDD), I can boot 8.10 sdd1 (old HDD) [05:23] Anyone else here running 9.04 that can get aRts? perhaps it's in a different repo? hmm [05:23] Callum: Are those Nvodoa or ati GPUs [05:23] office, sdc1 is what is giving me problems [05:23] OxDeadC0de: i'm pretty sure arts was removed entirely, why mplayer still links to it i have no idea [05:23] NVIDIA [05:24] Chaorain, now you are from sdd yes ? [05:24] Two NVIDIA GeForce 8500GTs [05:24] maco im back now [05:24] calc ahh I see, aRts is old as dirt anyway isn't it? [05:24] OxDeadC0de: yea and it was always considered crap, even back when i maintained KDE 5+ years ago [05:24] office, I am running 8.10 on sdd1 right now [05:24] OxDeadC0de: perhaps your copy of mplayer is old? [05:24] calc: lol, I agree, it was crap, I never used it myself [05:24] I am whatchin Bully on HBO [05:24] bout to get some seafood.. [05:24] brb [05:25] calc: it's Tyrath's that's broken (I still run 8.10 for now) [05:25] i have directory with sub directories where all the file extensions have ;1' at the end, how do I mass rename them ? [05:25] OxDeadC0de: ah ok [05:25] Chaorain, and you want in grub menu all this disks ? [05:25] Tyrath: are you sure you have an up to date copy of mplayer? [05:25] office, just sdc1 [05:25] Tyrath: arts was dropped from jaunty on feb 26 long before the release [05:25] Chaorain, ok [05:25] I am keep 8.10 untill 2011 [05:25] Chaorain, sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /1 [05:26] office, done [05:26] calc: I had whatever came on jaunty, and I reinstalled from source (the latest version) and got exactly the same error message :/ [05:26] i have directory with sub directories where all the file extensions have ;1' at the end, how do I mass rename them ? [05:26] ive tried all things to install ubuntu over vista, and i couldn't get it, can someone help me? [05:26] Chaorain: 8.10 is only supported until April of 2010. You'll want to use 8.04 to be supported until 2011 [05:26] Tyrath: the current mplayer build for jaunty was built after arts was already removed from the archive, so its a bit weird that you are seeing that [05:26] grub-install --root-directory=/1 --force-lba --recheck /dev/sdc [05:26] how is the battery life on an asus 1000 netbook compared to my acer aspire 3680? right now i get lest than 1 hr battery :( [05:26] Tyrath: What was the above mentioned error message [05:26] flannel, I'm trying to upgrade to 9.04 [05:27] Chaorain, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/1 --force-lba --recheck /dev/sdc [05:27] Tyrath: and i don't see any bug reports about mplayer needing arts still [05:27] OxDeadC0de: this is what it gives me using locate: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libartsc0.list [05:27] calc: Tyrath: I get the feeling he still has the old mplayer installed, and when he installs the new one it puts it in a different place, try "locate mplayer" and "which mplayer" ? [05:27] anyone ? [05:27] Tyrath: actually not only that but mplayer 2:1.0~rc2-0ubuntu18 specifically states it dropped depends on arts [05:27] OxDeadC0de: nope, I installed the latest from source [05:28] Tyrath: you installed mplayer from source? [05:28] calc: bizarre, what should I do? [05:28] calc: yes [05:28] Tyrath: that is your problem then [05:28] Tyrath: you aren't using the ubuntu version [05:28] calc: not really, because when I upgraded to jaunty I had the same problem [05:28] Callum, do not know how to do sli but i have 2 radeon cards running so it is possible in ubuntu [05:28] Tyrath: you need to figure out how to recompile it without arts support [05:28] office, http://www.paste-it.net/public/re96d9b/ [05:28] calc: actually [05:28] ok [05:28] my Macbook (late 2008) is having a problem with the Jaunty amd64 live cd. It boots into it just fine, but when I attempt to start ubuntu or install it, an error message pops up and the screen gets stuck at black. Any udeas? [05:29] calc: come to think of it I reinstalled from source before upgrading to jaunty [05:29] calc: I had to do that to be able to play m2ts files on mplayer [05:29] !pastebin }| [05:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin } [05:29] Tyrath: so recompile [05:29] office, I mounted to l(L) not 1(#) [05:29] !pastebin | poet [05:29] poet: 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) [05:29] Tyrath: and make sure arts support is disabled and that should fix it [05:29] calc: from source? I did after installing jaunty again [05:29] calc: ah k [05:29] calc: I'll try, thanks [05:29] ok [05:30] Cryptic_Donkey: wasn't aware it was policy to pastebin longish questions [05:30] hello everyone, im having a prob turning on my wireless card on my acer aspire one. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 remix. the switch on the bottom right wont turn on the card??? [05:30] Chaorain, ls -l /1/boot [05:31] calc: actually calc, do I have to uninstall before I reinstall? [05:31] office, http://www.paste-it.net/public/c25780a/ [05:32] calc: if I do, how do I get rid of mplayer installed from source? [05:32] office, thanks for putting up with me being such a newb [05:32] Chaorain, sudo cat /1/boot/grub/menu.lst [05:32] poet: paste bin is for debuuging purposes ie debugging scripts and problems related to certian aspects of the operating system ie problems with xorg and arts etc [05:33] office, http://www.paste-it.net/public/c72dce1/ [05:33] !man | poet [05:33] poet: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [05:34] Cryptic_Donkey: do you just feel like triggering the bot today?

[05:35] calc: yeah, I know, but generally they take off so many features... [05:35] i need help with vbox [05:35] calc: I also use checkinstall - don't know how that changes things... [05:35] poet: what area? [05:35] ziroday: How long will your command be effective? Will it perpetuate even after a restart of the computer? [05:35] * calc just uses totem to play m2ts files [05:36] Tyrath: doesn't checkinstall produce a package you install? [05:36] calc: maybe cause it installs in a package form it's better? i don't know [05:36] Chaorain, it's ok [05:36] bullgard4: no, it will remain until you either turn samba back on or restart your computer [05:36] calc: yep [05:36] ziroday: I'm trying to narrow down reasons why the LiveCD doesn't work correctly on my Macbook [05:36] office, so try it? [05:36] poet: bootup? [05:36] Tyrath: yea then you can just remove the package that is much better than just doing a regular install [05:36] Chaorain, then set in bios this disk to first to boot [05:36] ziroday: Thank you very much for your help. [05:36] ziroday: bootup is fine, but starting the install or LiveCD fails [05:36] Tyrath: regular make install just copies directly into your filesystem which then it is hard to remove [05:36] calc: oh? how do I do that? [05:37] poet: wait, so it boots into the livecd environment just fine but you can't start the installer? [05:37] Tyrath: either use a package manager or dpkg --purge (package name) [05:37] office, K. If I'm not back in 15 min it went ok [05:37] Chaorain, or unplug another disk.. save only the new [05:37] calc: I just typed make uninstall and make clean (to get rid of the installation files for the reconfigure [05:37] i have problem to do visual effect extra [05:37] Hi!

Unfortunately I also wrapped them inside an LVM2 container, and I'm getting there error: " Found duplicate PV ..." - can anybody help me mount them despite this? [05:38] please help me [05:38] calc: so basically checkinstall allows me to make .deb files then? [05:38] zirodoay: the installer AND LiveCD will start, but an error message on the console pops up (disappears too quickly to read) and then the screen just hangs black [05:38] Can anyone take a look at this problem for me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/168397/ I am getting dependency problems while installing these packages out of Add/Remove and do not know how to fix them.

[05:42] im using a samsung 52in lcd tv [05:42] any advice would be appreciated [05:42] civpro, what drivers are you using? [05:43] civpro::: try nvidia-xconfig [05:43] tess, i have no idea, when i boot up im just getting "mode is not supported" on the screen [05:43] civpro::: might have to install it [05:43] billy ok [05:43] what size for linux swap file. CPU= Intel quad core q6600 with 2 gb ram. Should swap be 2gb or greater? [05:43] civpro::: manually edit your xorg.conf [05:44] civpro::: if you can't even boot, its trying to use a resolution that your monitor doesn't support [05:44] where is xorg.conf located at, the /etc directory? [05:44] civpro::: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:44] billybigrigger_, probably he dont know how edit xorg.conf [05:44] civpro, xorg.conf is the thing that determines the resolution of the monitor, but that is a messy file to edit. nvidia has a autoconfig program called nvidia-xconfig that usually works mell [05:44] billy, thanks [05:44] newuser: swap=2GB is enough. [05:44] Tyrath: it sounds like you said that was what it did [05:44] civpro::: np [05:44] also i tried sudo gedit but its not working either [05:44] office: and anyone else that will help.. here's my issue: http://pastebin.com/d31ed638d no matter what I do it only sees the one vg and not the other (I did physically unplug both drives, and one at a time renamed their vg and lv's to different things) [05:44] Tyrath: i've never used checkinstall any time i've need a package i just make my own [05:45] civpro::: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:45] i got the server edition installed, what editor by default is installed? [05:45] civpro::: nano [05:45] thanks [05:45] billybigrigger_, editing xorg.conf might leave him at a command prompt, and while i could manage, it might leave some people stuck. [05:45] hi all [05:45] anyone else seeing ntfs-3g write at only 325KB/s when you have over 200GB free? [05:45] tesseracter::: true but he doesnt have a working xorg to begin with [05:45] civpro: if I were you I would consider installing the closed nvidia drivers, and then using ssh -X to access nvidia-settings and access the tv through that [05:45] did anyone have issues installing eclipse-pdt on ubuntu? [05:45] civpro::: hold up [05:46] billybigrigger_, nvidia-xconfig is a better starting point [05:46] civpro::: my bad, bad habit, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [05:46] repnop: did you fsck the partition? [05:46] civpro::: then sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:46] gb__: was a clean shutdown etc [05:46] tesseracter::: he can't boot, he doesn't have X [05:46] still do it [05:46] ntfs-3g had this issue many versions ago [05:46] or, 180.5X drivers... [05:46] it's writing to the partition heh [05:46] in the middle of a copy [05:46] repnop: works ok here at good speed [05:47] ftp ftp.nvidia.com [05:47] it's a brand new ntfs partition :P [05:47] is there a program to mount bin/cue files? [05:47] when did .5X come out? i only have .44 [05:47] i've had enough trouble with ntfs-3g i'll be glad to get away from desktop linux for awhile :) [05:47] repnop: lol nope , go back to winblows? [05:47] yep win 7 :P [05:47] Rob235 loop [05:47] civpro: as you can there are many ways to go around this :). What are you aiming to do with this machine? [05:47] billybigrigger_, #nvidia and the ftp site have latest release, and pre-release, and beta [05:48] repnop: good luck, ur gonna need it [05:48] Is there any folder browser which returns the exit code on return if run from the terminal? [05:48] does anyone know if the installer error messages are documented anywhere? [05:48] ziro, running virtual machines off of it [05:48] tesseracter: please don't recommend people to install the drivers from nvidia.com [05:48] would like to have a gui though [05:48] freazer, vgremove keep1 [05:48] thanks [05:48] What does "permalink" mean in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/105234? [05:48] ziroday, you would rather have them manually edit a xorg file? [05:48] tesseracter::: o [05:48] civpro: right, well you will need to install X, press ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a command line, does it appear? [05:48] ziroday: well 9.04 was a version or two behind last time i checked [05:48] freazer, its empty group without volumers [05:49] ziro, ill have to go downstairs and try [05:49] 1 sec [05:49] tesseracter: no, I would rather they installed the closed source drivers from the repo's [05:49] tesseracter::: don't see the point of using a beta driver when the problem is the current xorg config [05:49] civpro: sure :), you can also install ssh so you can access your computer from upstairs [05:49] repnop: that is correct [05:49] i did manual install of .51 on my 9.04 no issues so far. [05:49] !wfm | repnop [05:49] repnop: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [05:49] didn't fix the issue i had with windows not rendering when a bunch are opened right away though [05:49] ziro, ok i have vnc viewer running on here, whats the command to get it up and running [05:49] what is ubuntu's policy on new proprietary drivers? [05:50] do they backport new amd and nvidia drivers? [05:50] just sudo apt-get install vnc-server ? [05:50] damentz: they will sometimes, but not often [05:50] 180.53 fixes a lot of issues in 180.44 for instance [05:50] billybigrigger_, 1, its not a beta, 2, the nvidia installer creates a new xorg.conf based on your video card. [05:50] civpro: mmm, ssh would be better. Do sudo apt-get install ssh and nvidia-glx-180 [05:50] and 185 fixes a lot of desktop compositing performance issues [05:50] damentz envy is likely the best choise to use later drivers [05:50] tesseracter::: ahh, i use restricted drivers, not nvidia.com's [05:50] tesseracter::: thats why i have .44 [05:50] right, i would just install it myself manually [05:50] i installed 180 and it says it wasnt in use [05:50] but when a new kernel comes in... it's a pain to reinstall [05:50] so i would like it to be in the repo [05:51] especially if it's marked as a stable driver by nvidia [05:51] civpro: ah, can you gimme 1 sec please :) [05:51] civpro::: did you restart? [05:51] sure [05:51] and thanks [05:51] billy, yes [05:51] office: that seems scary :-) can I get it back? [05:51] office, hey thanks it works [05:52] freazer, no [05:52] billybigrigger_, correct. which is easier when upgrading kernels, but harder to figure out if drivers are causing any problems. on a related note, anything above 180.29 has been great for me, below that, and i had problems on my gtx280 [05:52] this might help [05:52] freazer, but keep1 its empty group [05:52] mib_ye5sb7tq, i just wish they would backport drivers more often [05:52] civpro: okay, have you done mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup already? [05:52] freazer, its nothing [05:52] Asus M3N78 PRO Motherboard [05:52] more often than not, new versions of the catalyst or nvidia drivers fix issues than break functionality [05:52] ziro, i havent went downstairs yet [05:52] that mb has the video card integrated on it [05:53] freazer, stop ! [05:53] damentz, 180.53 is pre-release, to not *quite* stable, just needs more testing before it can be marked as such. === calc_ is now known as calc [05:53] civpro: okay, you need to do sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup and then sudo nvidia-xconfig [05:53] civpro: I have a similar mobo [05:53] office::: a little slow eh? hehe [05:53] damentz most new drivers get applied the the kernel main branch, restricted drivers are outside the development model. [05:53] billybigrigger_, ;) [05:53] ziroday, not that making an extra backup is bad, but nvidia-xconfig makes a backup too :-) [05:54] dont i have to install nvidia-xconfig first? [05:54] civpro: ah yes, that would help :) [05:54] heh [05:54] tesseracter: forgot about that, thanks :) [05:54] civpro, if you have nvidia drivers, you have nvidia-xconfig [05:54] My Desktop fan is going continuous. is there a way to controll it? [05:54] chaorain, boot works ? [05:54] tesseracter: no, they are installed seperately [05:54] chuck_ I fixed it. I removed the ens1371, reenabled the ac-97 onboard via8235, and added the line "options snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=3" to the end of the alsa-base.conf file Thank you for your help. [05:54] office, Yep I'm in 9.04 right now [05:54] ok so sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 nvidia-xconfig [05:54] chaorain::: bios? [05:54] civpro: and ssh [05:54] ok [05:55] civpro, type nvidia- then hit tab a couple times, it will show apps starting with that string. [05:55] mib_ye5sb7tq, but they're still as important [05:55] does it autostart or do i have to start them up? [05:55] once installed [05:55] chaorain::: intel or amd? [05:55] damentz well you should be whining to nvidia not ubuntu devs. [05:55] civpro: once installed do sudo nvidia-xconfig and then restart [05:55] ziroday, i'll shut up now, since i dont work with repo vid drivers :-) [05:55] billybigrigger_, It is Triple booting right now. Windows/8.10 fan is ok but 9.04 fan is always on. Intel. [05:56] ziro, ok [05:56] tesseracter: :) [05:56] chaorain::: check /proc/acpi/fan [05:56] chaorain::: ??? [05:56] brb and thanks everyone [05:56] mib_ye5sb7tq, that doesn't make sense, the ubuntu devs choose when to update their packages or not [05:56] nvidia just fixes their drivers asthey go [05:56] ive got a few questions, I use windowmaker, what daemon do I need to have running in order to have the gnome background appear and gtk themes as configured in the control center to appear? [05:56] hi, every time i go to open a file (the file dialog box?) the application freezes for about 30-60 seconds before continuing an normal. this is extremely frustrating. help? [05:56] damentz: mib_ye5sb7tq:P this conversation is better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:56] damentz because the ubuntu devs dont update the drivers, thats upstram. [05:56] i have it working at home but im on my laptop elsewhere and I just cant remember what one it is [05:56] billybigrigger_, no files there [05:57] billybigrigger_, triple boot is temporary [05:57] Entelin: gnome-settings-daemon? [05:57] chaorain::: mine either...was hoping you had something in there hehe :P i don't know what to tell you [05:57] i thought thats what it was, and I did need that but apparently that doesnt deal with the background [05:58] chaorain::: i have my cpu overclocked so i run all my fans all the time, cpu fan full out all the time, and the 120mm and 140mm case fans at low to med all the time, but the case fans have a 3 speed switch so...ya i dunno what to tell you :P [05:58] billybigrigger_, thanks anyway [05:58] mib_ye5sb7tq, right, so they package newer/better versions so users don't have to use envy [05:59] chaorain::: i see you fixed your boot problem? [05:59] !latest > damentz [05:59] damentz, please see my private message [05:59] What does "permalink" mean in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/105234? === roy is now known as arief [05:59] billybigrigger_, i fixed hes problem ;p [05:59] whats the ubuntu room for the kernel team? [05:59] damentz: ubuntu is not rolling release [05:59] billybigrigger_, yep. now in 9.04 [05:59] bullgard4: it is a link that you can share with people that will always stay the same [05:59] has anyone had any luck opening .xfdl documents or editing us military forms? [05:59] DShepherd: #ubuntu-kernel [05:59] chaorain::: what was the problem? [05:59] ziroday, thanks [05:59] ziroday: Thank you very much for explaining. [06:00] billybigrigger_, grub did not install properly [06:00] chaorain::: fun shhtuff [06:00] ziroday, hmm ,ok [06:00] My laptop is dualbooted and I was wondering if: If I accidentally download a Windows virus on Linux, can it be transfered to the Windows partition where it's going to affect Windows once I boot into it? [06:00] chaorain, maybe you have cpu freq changer module load [06:01] damentz: and you need to understand that graphics drivers are _very_ volatile, particularly closed source ones. Ubuntu policy is not to update them unless absolutely necessary. [06:01] FrankQC::: if you copy the virus from the linux fs to the windows fs then yes, you can infect your windows partition [06:01] then fan goes crazy [06:01] FrankQC: no, as the virus cannot run under ubuntu [06:01] FrankQC::: but windows virus' won't affect linux [06:01] ziroday::: don't say that [06:01] billybigrigger and ziroday: Yeah I know they won't affect Linux, but I'm scared that all the potential Windows-downloaded viruses on my Ubuntu machine get "transfered" unintentionally to my Windows partition [06:01] ziroday, hmm [06:02] ziroday::: no is not the correct answer, a downloaded virus in linux can infect a windows pc if the file/files are copied to the windows partition [06:02] ziroday, so amd's drivers must update occasionally then? [06:02] nvidia's seem to be ok [06:02] FrankQC: well as long as your windows partition cannot access the linux one, and you don't copy the files onto your windows partition you are fine [06:02] FrankQC::: unless you copy them yourself, they can't transfer themeselves [06:02] billybigrigger_, they wont effect windows so long as you dont run them yourself, they cant do anything to you if you dont touch them [06:03] damentz: sorry, I don't follow? They only update the drivers if a SRU is granted, reading the SRU guidelines will explain the conditions for the update [06:03] Entelin::: thats what i said [06:03] ziroday: My Windows can access my Linux one. [06:03] FrankQC: if you want to scan for windows viruses you can use ClamAV [06:03] FrankQC::: your fine [06:03] i didnt read the whole conversation lol [06:03] calc: ok, mplayer's working fine now :D. only I can't play m2ts files :/ [06:03] So I'm fine even if my Windows partition can access (read/write) in the Linux's ext3? [06:03] FrankQC::: like everyone else said, don't touch them, it doesn't matter if windows can see linux and vise versa as long as you don't copy the virus to the windows partition [06:04] calc: but yeah, that's not too much of a bid deal cause I can use vlc [06:04] Alright [06:04] Wow IRC is really useful! [06:04] Thanks a bunch guys! [06:04] * D3f0 is away: Ausente por el momento [06:04] !away > D3f0 [06:04] D3f0, please see my private message [06:04] FrankQC::: np [06:04] calc: also the latest openoffice I downloaded from debs and it seemed to install but didn't show up anywhere [06:04] ziroday, ok well sorry, i run exclusively rolling release distributions on my laptop or frozen distributions with frequent backports [06:04] Alright so I added this drive to fstab as rw, and it still mounts as ro. [06:04] FrankQC, http://www.fs-driver.org/download/Ext2IFS_1_11a.exe [06:04] ziroday, i wasn't aware that ubuntu had a very strict backport policy [06:04] has anyone had any luck opening .xfdl documents or editing us military forms? [06:05] office: Yea that's what I'm using [06:05] calc: so, yeah, basically do launch it I have to find a .doc or .xls file and open it then open a new file which is very annoying :/ [06:05] damentz: well ubuntu does do backports, but no backports aren't updated that often (and the SRU does not apply to backports). If you really must have the latest driver the Xorg team have several ppa's [06:05] FrankQC, ntfs-3g on linux to acces ntfs part read/write [06:05] ohzie: are the permissions of the mountpoint rw? [06:06] /dev/sdd1 /mnt/usbfs vfat rw,umask=0000,uid=500 0 0 <--That's my fstab line. I think I did it right [06:06] office: I didn't install ntfs-3g on Linux [06:06] office: I only installed it on Windows to access partition [06:07] ohzie: remove the uid and umask lines, and make sure /mnt/usbfs is rw by everyone [06:07] FrankQC, ntfs-3g its in standard install of ubuntu [06:07] ciao [06:07] office: What if I didn't enable it, haha [06:08] I just finished the introduction to man [06:08] office: And even if it was enabled, the Windows virus wouldn't be able to execute in Linux so I don't know how it would be able to transfer from partition to partition [06:09] FrankQC, how they transfer if not executed [06:09] office: how then [06:09] ziroday, It won't let me change the permissions. [06:09] hey all i'd like to know if there is a way to connect wireless from a network and wired from another one [06:09] office: I woudln't be transfering them manually haha [06:10] ohzie, what do you want do ? [06:10] mount /dev/sdd1 to /mnt/usbfs with rw for everyone ? [06:10] office, I want to be able to automount my usb hard drive and give it read/write access to the entire system. [06:10] Yes [06:10] ohzie: sudo chmod a+rw /mnt/usbfs [06:11] Would anyone know how I can get power manager to beep at me when the comp is low on power? [06:11] ziroday, Not even an error message, just didn't work. [06:11] hey all i'd like to know if there is a way to connect wireless from a network and wired from another one [06:11] actually, would anyone know how I can stop the computer suspending when I plug in power [06:11] ohzie: bleh, not sure soory. [06:12] ohzie, [06:12] sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/usbfs -o rw,user [06:13] ok back [06:13] nvidia-xconfig didnt find anything [06:13] let me use putty to ssh in, 1 sec [06:14] office, Nope, still read only.

[06:41] Kareeser: using dual monitors, and the notifications show up on the one I look at about 10% of the time because I don't have a top panel. proposed solution appears to be gconf to make them follow focus, which is inconsistent with the default and still not what I want [06:41] still here [06:41] Kareeser yes I have it installed, and followed the instructions to do chap secrets and all, however the windows client doesn't seem to see it [06:41] Eevee: Ah, right, that's a "design feature"... kinda dumb, eh? [06:41] can someone help me add unallocated space to my ext3 partition? [06:42] LinuxNIT: you want WEP 40/128-bit key [06:42] Kareeser: also the queuing is painful when an app spits out several rapid-fire (such as mashing next-song more than a couple times) [06:42] civpro: fantastic, but I'm not going to install a new piece of software especially dedicated to playing movies at night on headphones as not to wake my neighbors. call me picky but I would imagine VLC could fulfill the task of playing movie audio via headphones at a decent db [06:42] pumpkin, can i make a suggestion to you? [06:42] Kareeser: yeah I don't really understand why they can't just be "near the tray", whatever that may mean [06:42] tech: I'm no help there, sorry. [06:42] shoot [06:42] xbmc kicks ass, not only for music, but for movies also [06:42] oh yeah! [06:42] no codec installs to worry about [06:42] Eevee: Apparently, it's the place where it'll be least obtrusive. which makes sense, in a way [06:42] I was wondering generally what does a traditional server (in a rack server case like 1U or 2U) cost to run in electricity ? [06:42] i actually have xbmc installed [06:42] pumpkinseed: Does it happen on every file you use? [06:42] hehe [06:42] i have it installed on my xbox [06:42] Eevee: As for dual-monitors, they just haven't gotten around to that. I'd love to move mine to my secondary monitor too...!!

[06:44] yes [06:44] Eevee: I do wish that there would be at least some sort of config file to let us move it around... even something messy like that would be better than what's there now [06:44] philipp, do next what i write [06:44] are you using line out or speaker out pumpkin? [06:44] Cryptic_Donkey: thank you, I'm sure by now we have hit LinuxNIT over the head enough about it [06:44] this might not be the right channel, but does anyone know how i can replace a few files on an iso with updated versions?

[06:52] or scp://user:pass@host:/folder [06:52] pumpkinseed: Have you tried looking in the audio preferences? [06:52] yes..... [06:52] pumpkinseed: sorry, not audio preferences... I mean, double clicking the audio icon [06:52] every single thing is up all the way [06:52] pumpkinseed: since the headphone channel is on a different slider [06:52] pumpkinseed: you'd want to turn it down... if it's too loud... [06:53] sound works fine, it just plays super low when I plug in headphones [06:53] pumpkinseed: Please stae your issue clearly so that others in the cahnnel may better assist you.

[06:54] Hystoriker: brb, ask someone else for a while, sorry!! [06:55] here is the clearest I can state this: I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 and 7.1 Speakers. My daemon.conf file is set to 8channel output and my speakers work fine at 7.1, but when I plug in headphones (tested several) the audio output is quiet as a moust (you can hear the audio, but barely). Its late here and I'd like to watch a movie... can anyone help. === perscitus is now known as Guest4570 [06:55] moust = mouse [06:57] Kareeser: By the way, just for the record, double-clicking the audio icon (at least in ubuntu 9.04) mutes the sound. Again, the audio speaker icon next to the time up top on the screen.... if you double click it, you MUTE your sound. [06:57] anyone here familiar with Wine?

[06:58] ok well im noob to wine, i would like to run WoW with it, i have it installed on my windows install, i hear i need to install it with wine, how do i do that? [06:58] Anyone know the command to turn off join/leave messages in xchat2? [06:58] anyone on the headphone issue? [06:58] or should I format my hard drive and install windows [06:59] MaGicMaX1: Please check the wine apdata base at winehq.org [06:59] quick question guys: when you install a package (apt-get) and it comes up with an ncurses thing that asks you questions (do you want to enable this service ect)... how can you get back to that config? apt-get reintall doesn't do it, uninstall/install doesn't [07:00] MaGicMaX1: This is your best bet to start: have a read @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [07:00] hi, is anyone finding pulseaudio is constantly eating cpu (whether audio is playing or not)? It's sitting on around 30-40% for me on a 1.6gig Pentium M laptop. [07:00] pumpkinseed: did you unhide all the sliders in volume control? [07:01] sexcopter1: I have ubuntu 9.04 running on an older Athlon XP 3200+ system, and I find it eats 15% CPU while in use (playing audio), but very little while not playing audio [07:01] is there a way to stop xchat showing when people join and leaving rooms? [07:01] (figured it was normal) [07:01] eevee: yes [07:01] fermulator: thx for the link, ill take a look [07:01] fermulator: hmm. do you have it set up for network sound (ie sending audio to another computer on a lan)? [07:01] somebuddy help to my visual effect extra [07:02] lflashlnzl: Yeah, right click the tab (the channel tab) and then there's an option for it in one of the menus (properties or something?) [07:02] hey. I'm trying to use the command line minimal install of ubuntu on an epia box but it's not recognising the network driver. Anyone come across this/ [07:02] Hello, Wikipedia used to have a table with versions and the dates they are supported until. I don't see it now for ubuntu. Is there a time table such as this elsewhere? [07:02] ? [07:02] sexcopter1: no, it's default config stuff. [07:02] Is it possible to move panels in Jaunty? it seems normal dragging of panels dont work anymore [07:02] m3ment0_: might be dpkg --reconfigure but I'm not sure [07:03] perscitus: alt-drag [07:03] Flannel, thanks found it, getting sick of so many people leaving and join [07:03] perscitus: hold ALT and move [07:03] fermulator: ok, I have the whole network thing going on, which may compound things. thanks anyhow === hateball1 is now known as hateball [07:03] fermulator -> what about panel items?

[07:04] iceroot, thanks [07:04] I have an XP/Ubuntu x86/Ubuntu x64 triple boot install, can anyone direct me to a resource or tell me if it is possible to use the debian automagic kernels settings in menu.lst to maintain the GRUB entries for both Ubuntu installs? [07:04] Eevee: ty [07:04] Gate: I have tip for you [07:05] Kareeser: I have no clue :) It's an old box I bought second hand, how do I find out? [07:05] Gate: For my "multiple" installations of OS .. I use the "boot master" method. Create an extra 128MB (or similar size) ext2 partition. [07:05] What's the proper way to restart network-manager in Jaunty? [07:05] Gate -> Why 32 and 64bit Ubuntu? [07:05] Gate: copy the entire /boot contents from your latest disto (whichever one contains the version of grub you want to use) [07:06] iceroot: Are releases always updateable through download? [07:06] Datz1: Yes. [07:06] Datz1: update and upgrade, yes [07:06] Gate: modify the "boot master" grub to only contain your OS entries using "chainloader" [07:06] !upgrade | Datz1 [07:06] Datz1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:06] hateball:maybe at the terminal,some commands would do [07:06] doc|work: lspci -v [07:06] 32 bit for normal operations, and I am experimenting with x64 still (certain things weren't up to par the last time I tried it, 2 years ago) perscitus [07:07] Gate: and setup that "boot master" grub to the MBR, and the rest of the grubs go to the partition of each distro [07:07] Kareeser: hmmm, ok, give me a few mins to boot up the box [07:07] Gate: make sense? (or do you need more explanation) [07:07] m_: I have priv msgs blocked [07:07] iceroot: Thanks again [07:07] interesting fermulator [07:07] nmvictor: Well yes... _which_ ones tho? It used to be /etc/event.d/and so on, but that seems to be gone in Jaunty [07:07] Effectively it defers to each distro for its loading options? [07:07] Gate: for me, it's nice, that way your "master boot" doesn't contain all those annoying kernel entries, and gives you a nice clean "OS Selector". === _jmatrix is now known as jmatrix [07:08] fermulator -> couldnt he have boot partition? [07:08] Gate: exactly; simple chainloading [07:08] hi [07:08] perscitus: no, because if all distros share the same boot partition, it becomes messy [07:09] perscitus: I suspect the versions of Ubuntu would trample each other's Kernel images [07:09] guys its still now showing up [07:09] Gate: indeed === glicks is now known as glick [07:09] fermulator -> Sounds like bug suggestion. [07:09] what do you call an OS that requires you spending 45% of your uptime fixing bugs (or trying to) and scouring the internet for arcane fixes? Ubuntu [07:09] fermulator: could I simplify that method to simply placing a chainload command in my current menu.lst that defers to the x64's? [07:09] I try to stick with the long term support release [07:10] pumpkinseed: don't be hatin', lots of us have no problems out of the box [07:10] I try to stick with the long term support releases [07:10] i doubt that [07:10] meh. [07:10] Cryptic_Donkey -> until you buy hardware that only new kernels support. [07:10] Gate: ya for sure you could if you don't want to mess around with creating anothe rpartition and re-installing grub. (CAVEAT: If your 32bit distro ever gets buggered, you'll have to fix the mbr to get into the x64 bit...) but otherwise you'd be OK [07:11] how can i use pastebinit, with a log file? [07:11] question about runing WoW with wine, ive decided to copy my windows install of WoW over, should i just put it in my home folder? [07:11] Thanks fermulator, I am off to try it! [07:11] Gate: sweet! good luck [07:11] I stick to the thirty two bit release [07:12] can someone give me a hand with getting my display working please? [07:12] civpro:you open the log file,copy the contents and paste them at pastebin [07:12] civpro: what's the error? [07:12] nm, its very long and im ssh'ed in [07:12] I installed the new openoffice.org version 3.1 and am failing at uninstalling it - i installed it via deb, but there's a stack of packages and sudo dpkg -r * won't work [07:12] so i can talk on here at the same time [07:12] Hi all [07:12] kereeser, many many errors [07:13] I've got a quick question about upgrading to 9.04 [07:13] civpro: right, go to pastebin.ubuntu.com, and paste your messages there. then paste the link here [07:13] clode hi [07:13] Kareeser: sorry, i was away for a sec. look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/168156/, i have tried to translate my german output a little [07:13] MaGicMaX1: well it would have to go under the wine c: drive, ~/.wine/drive_c [07:13] also, the new ubuntu won't let me move my windows, unless I vouch for no extra effects :/ [07:13] Hystoriker: that's with apt-get purge? [07:13] I own a samsung nc10 with intrepid ibex working properly [07:13] any real risk by upgrading to the last version ? [07:14] Tyrath: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq package_name [07:14] clode: minimal. unless you have an intel card [07:14] civpro:maybe you need to paste only the important part,regarding your problem [07:14] clode: gfx card, that is. [07:14] does anybody know how to make the screen resolution permanent? - each time I log in I have a 1025x768 res. then I have to set it to 1280x1024 next time i login I have to do the same all over again... [07:14] hum ok [07:14] any ideas? [07:14] I will have to check that [07:14] thx [07:14] smr904: are you familiar with xrandr? [07:14] Kareeser: yes, with "sudo apt-get purge -f" [07:14] zvacet: and what if it's a bunch of different packages? [07:14] Hystoriker: blaaah... [07:14] clode: also, if you have ATI you need to pre-configure some stuff before upgrading [07:14] Hello, I really need some help this has been driving me insane... I have a E5200 2.5Ghz CPU and a 8600GT using the 180 drivers in Jaunty. In VLC or Totem if I play a video from the hdd I get shuttering/choppy video. [07:14] clode: nvidia should work without problems [07:15] Kareeser: heard of it.. but people say do it on your own risk.. [07:15] Eevee: i cant seem to browse there... i dont see a C drive [07:15] clode: Please post a review of thae afformentioned samsoung model on th elinuxlaptop wiki so that others may benifit from your exsperiences [07:15] Kareeser: what shall I do with it? [07:15] Hystoriker: I've suggested all I can think of, so at this point, try posting a message to ubuntu forums [07:15] ok Well actually I think it's an intel because it's a netbook [07:15] that I've got [07:15] It happens with any video format. [07:15] smr904: you can change your resolution in it from the command line. Now, with that said, you can make a script that'll do that every bootup [07:15] Hey folks! [07:15] I've reinstalled the drivers reinstalled gstreamer as well as the players :/ [07:15] Cryovat Cryptic_Donkey : ok I'll do that [07:15] smr904: like... "xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024" [07:15] Kareeser: thanks for your help [07:16] Any ideas? [07:16] I have a question about mail servers when someone has a minute, pelase? [07:16] LinuxDemon:Hey dude [07:16] Hystoriker: sorry I couldn't fix it :( [07:16] Kareeser: I see.. what about edditing manually the xorg.org once and for good? [07:16] Hey there! [07:16] <_newbie4> hello how are you, etc. i need to reinstall my system ( <3 ) and I was wondering two things: how can i make a list (preferably human readable, at the least apt readable) of what i have installed, and 64-bit or 32bit. 64 wasn't there in 8.10, so I'm asking agan [07:16] smr904: Also a good idea. You may need to create something called a "modeline" [07:16] Hystoriker: Ypou would be beter server to use linuxquestion.org and pleases search the site before making posting your problem. [07:16] bye [07:16] problem: how can I avoid that when I put a DVD-RW in my DVD-drive that it auto-starts and GNOME opens it up automatically in Nautilus, so when I'm going to erase it, there comes an error that it can't be ejected because some program is keeping it open? [07:16] I've been trying to fix this for weeks. [07:17] Kareeser: I think I added one, but it doesn't seem to help [07:17] Tyrath : I don´t know I never try to remove that kind of package [07:17] MaGicMaX1: don't see it where? can't find .wine, or there's no drive_c in it? should be a 'browse C drive' under Applications > Wine iirc [07:17] mplayer doesn't do this, although wont display my subtitles. [07:17] <_newbie4> evilGUI: any video? [07:17] smr904: run "xrandr" with no arguments. 1280x1024 should show up... does it? [07:17] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ is the log [07:17] _newbie4: Any video. [07:17] zvacet: see my main problem is that I can't install openoffice.org3 from apt because it thinks it's already installed [07:17] smr904: in terminal, btw. [07:17] Sorry, my first time on IRC... do I just blurt out the question or wait to be addressed? [07:17] <_newbie4> evilGUI: what type of file? [07:17] LinuxDemon: blurt. :) [07:17] sorry [07:17] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/168449/ [07:18] Has anyone had ncmpc break on them recently? I get error [11]: problems creating socket [07:18] LinuxDemon: it goes by fast here, so someone who's free will take you up on your problem, hopefully. [07:18] I just installed jaunty with nvidia drivers, I turned on twinview. I get a second screen correctly, but I cant rightclick it and setup wallpapers or anything - whats going on? [07:18] _newbie4: h.264 quicktime, h.264 mkv, xvid, divx. [07:18] Thanks, Kareeser! [07:19] podecoet: can you drag windows to it? [07:19] _newbie4: The video is really jerky. [07:19] zvacet: well thanks anyway [07:19] catch you later [07:19] Kareeser: windows, but not icons [07:19] _newbie4: Also totem will sometimes crash when loading a video. [07:19] Kareeser: I've added a panel on that display also [07:20] Tyrath: Try with wild card and commanad I posted to you that is best I can think of [07:20] Eevee: ok i think i got there by going Applications > Wine > Browse C:\ Drive i see three folders, program files, users, and windows. Im assuing it goes in Program Files? [07:20] podecoet: that's... odd. I've never heard of that happenning before [07:20] think there was some duplicate entries in the last post, here is the most recent one [07:20] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/168451/ [07:20] _newbie4: The video plays fine then gets choppy and it repeats. [07:20] can someone take a look? [07:20] MaGicMaX1: yeah, the layout is just like on windows [07:20] hi guys i am trying to install directx 9.0c in ubuntu using wine but i am getting an error "err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144". can anybody help? [07:20] Kareeser: *cries*, I've been battling so many issues since yesterday lol [07:20] Kareeser: maybe I should revert to hardy [07:20] Kareeser: did it - that's what it says: [07:20] _newbie4: it isn't using much CPU.

[07:21] podecoet: try the forums first. It's not correct behaviour, so at the least, you can get a bug report in [07:21] err that didnt work either [07:21] <_newbie4> evilGUI: what video driver [07:21] podecoet: at best, you'll get it fixed :) [07:21] Eevee: so once its in there just run the exe as i would in windows? do u know how to make a shortcut on desktop? [07:21] smr904: that's good... that means Ubuntu detects that resolution [07:21] smr904: weird how it doesn't select it. [07:22] Right now I'm using a WinXP box for a mail server. I'd like to convert it to Ubuntu, but I have one concern: I have a lot of custom PHP that mingles with the current mail database... hMailServer uses a MySQL database to store user account info and stuff, and while I don't mind re-writing some code, I was wondering if the mail server that comes with Ubuntu stores it's user info in a mysql db as well... and if not, where/how I can edit account info us [07:22] ing PHP? [07:22] _newbie4: regarding listing applications, check out this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=182201 [07:22] I'll try adding the modeline [07:22] _newbie4: mplayer is fine. [07:22] smr904: In my experience, adding the modeline only gets Ubuntu to detect the mode [07:22] * TheFunkbomb scolds everyone [07:22] hi guys i am trying to install directx 9.0c in ubuntu using wine but i am getting an error "err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144". can anybody help? [07:22] <_newbie4> leaphion: thank u [07:23] MaGicMaX1: right-click the exe, Make Link, drag the link it creates to the desktop [07:23] _newbie4: 180. [07:23] smr904: so I doubt that would work, but hey, worth a shot, right? Always backup your xorg.conf! [07:23] * podecoet strokes TheFunkbomb [07:23] <_newbie4> evilGUI: what video driver areyou using? [07:23] hi; could someone tell me where I could find the XClient script that GDM has listed as a potential session? [07:23] hey. can i get the seti screensaver in ubuntu? [07:23] so i can help search for alien life while my computer idles [07:23] Kareeser: right. thanks a lot for the idea.. I'll give that a try [07:23] indian_munnda, don't install native directx in wine. wine has its own implementation, and native breaks more than it fixes [07:23] _newbie4: I installed Nvidia's 180 from the hardware driver popup. [07:23] javyn: depends if SETI@Home has a linux client that outputs to a screensaver... chances are, no... [07:23] it is a worthy cause i'd like to donate cycles to [07:24] javyn: but... they probably have a command-line version [07:24] Eevee: thx, wow it works! lol [07:24] can some one help me abt my visual effect extra [07:24] Eevee: no pun intended :P [07:24] looks like i need the "BOINC" client to get it [07:24] javyn: don't worry though, the screensaver is just for looks and doesn't actually DO anything. :) [07:24] podecoet, have you searched launchpad? [07:24] is there any buddy intelligent is avelable or nit [07:24] the only one i found in the repo was for KDE, dangit [07:24] sorry not [07:24] Kareeser: well the seti one does something [07:24] m_: what's up? [07:24] nogagplz: i was installing directx to for cedega. I have installed cedega but it not installing the game [07:24] javyn: What's interersting is that it is already statistically just barely short of impossible just for earth to exist, right? [07:25] sorry was having technical difficulties [07:25] here is a good post [07:25] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/168453/ [07:25] that's just amazing in itself [07:25] i know for sure this time [07:25] indian_munnda: you shouldn't have to install direct X... wine supports it natively with calls to OpenGL [07:25] civpro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:25] sysdoc: I found alot of people with the same issue, but no solutions as yet, still searching [07:25] wow I worded that weird [07:25] kareeser, can you take a look? [07:25] indian_munnda: I've never gotten directX to work with Wine... so I avoid trying to install directX wherever possible. [07:25] podecoet, ditto... [07:25] Kareeser: i was installing directx to for cedega. I have installed cedega but it not installing the game [07:26] Did anyone catch my question, perchance? [07:26] MaGicMaX1: ah, good! you can put it on the menu, too; there's an editor in system > preferences > main menu [07:26] Surlent777: I don't know about Earth, but I know that the odds of all the events happening to cause life to happen is close enough to zero to be considered statistically impossible [07:26] sysdoc: it's worth noting, that after installing the restricted driver through the package manager, X broke... I had to do lspci | grep -i VGA, and add "BusID 03:00:0" to xorg.conf to make it work again :\ [07:26] <_newbie4> are you on a straight ubuntu install? [07:26] civpro: so are you trying to start an X session on the local computer? [07:26] civpro: or through vnc? [07:27] _newbie4: VLC works perfect after reinstalling the drivers, totem still does the same thing. [07:27] LinuxDemon: Totally. Except it's very specific... :( [07:27] both [07:27] LinuxDemon: I think there's a better channel for that... um... [07:27] javyn: ah, but if it hadn't happened you wouldn't be here to observe that anyway [07:27] neither way will work [07:27] Anyone else here have playback issues with a 8600GT? [07:27] evilGUI: none with an 8800gt. [07:27] evilGUI: have you tried installing drivers straight from the nvidia site? [07:27] evilGUI: none with an 2 x 8800gts [07:27] <_newbie4> evilGUI: did you reboot after the reinstall? [07:27] *-an [07:27] LinuxDemon: I know you can hook postfix up to mysql, but I don't know if postfix is in ubuntu server by default or what the schema is or much beyond that it's possible [07:27] got the screensaver, but it's a sh file, no idea what to do with that lol [07:28] javyn: That's sorta what I'm leaning towards. Statistically speaking, we shouldn't exist. We exist only because of an incredibly precise balance of various factors in the universe. If any of a multitude of things were changed just slightly, we would die [07:28] Kareeser: I haven't. [07:28] civpro: okay... how did you install the nvidia driver? [07:28] _newbie4: Yes. [07:28] Kareeser: Thank you so much!! [07:28] evilGUI: worth a shot... :) [07:28] evilGUI: Are you getting tearing? [07:28] Surlent777: I don't see it like that, but I'm not willing to get into that discussion. Too lazy [07:28] LinuxDemon: no thanks needed, I didn't do anything :( [07:28] LinuxDemon: You might have better luck in the server channel #ubuntu-server iirc [07:28] there it is! [07:28] thanks, powertoo108 [07:28] I'll just say look up Alex Collier on youtube and listen to him [07:29] Thank you! [07:29] it'll be entertaining, if anything [07:29] /msg nickserv register [07:29] Kareeser, sudo apt-get install nvidia-gtx- i think it was 80 [07:29] 899 [07:29] evilGUI: I'n not sure what you're talking about, but I use that 8600GT and have no graphical issues whatsoever with Ubuntu, aside from the TTY text getting blurry after I view an image with the framebuffer; only going to X and back fixes it [07:29] gaahhh! I'm installing ubuntu on a 2GB usb drive!! Why is it installing openoffice!! [07:29] err 800 [07:29] Kareeser: hey, I think it worked - loged out and back in and it is the good resolution.. [07:29] Kareeser: Office comes with it by default [07:29] shoot, sorry about that... trying to register a nick [07:29] google docs spreadsheet component doesnt seem to work for me:( [07:29] in ff3 [07:29] Surlent777: booooo!! [07:29] podecoet, I have not had success with the 180 driver I have to use the 173 driver. However I don't suspect the driver but it may be worth some investigation [07:29] Surlent777: It's just video playback. [07:29] Kareeser: Would you rather use MS? [07:29] Surlent777: on a usb stick, I'd rather use nano ;) [07:29] Kareeser: i was installing directx to for cedega. I have installed cedega but it not installing the game [07:29] sysdoc: did it break X? [07:30] <_newbie4> evilGUI: I'm on an 8500 with no problems, off an ubuntu studio install; it sounds like you added something extra. Are you running a prebuilt system? Who made it? [07:30] hear hear Kareeser [07:30] Kareeser: I'd rather get a bigger USB stick ;) [07:30] the only problem now (well, it was there earlier too) is the flickering - especially when moving the mouse - I see these horisontal waves.. [07:30] Surlent777: Need a job first :( [07:30] Hi [07:30] _newbie4: This is a fresh install, I just selected the drivers like it told me to. [07:30] indian_munnda: I hear ya... but I have no suggestions at the moment, since I have never gotten directX to work for me... [07:30] sysdoc: you have the same issue as I? [07:30] <_newbie4> leaphion: thanks, anyway but I just wanted a list so i could reinstall my stuff. [07:30] kareeser, any ideas? [07:30] _newbie4: I built the machine, I didn't have these issues before Jaunty. [07:30] Kareeser: oooo , sorry :( [07:30] indian_munnda: Perhaps you could try the wine forum on ubuntuforums.org? [07:31] <_newbie4> evilGUI: what version of ubuntu [07:31] oh yeah, so does anyone know where I can find that XClient Script that GDM likes to brag about? [07:31] civpro: yes, sorry. Want to try installing them directly from the nvidia website? [07:31] _newbie4: 32bit 9.04. === dereine[OFF] is now known as dereine [07:31] <_newbie4> evilGUI: dual or quad core? [07:31] indian_munnda, that would be #WineHQ [07:31] um, i am thinking its a issue with the tv not the card [07:31] podecoet, no it allowed compiz and seperateX sessions to work in the previous ver of Ununtu. However the Seperate X sessions is broke in Jaunty but it is tolerable till a fix come out [07:32] i mean i might be wrong but the tv res is at 700x400 [07:32] _newbie4: Dual E5200 2.5Ghz, should be over kill for sd playback. [07:32] BlinkyToon: thank you [07:32] speaking of fixes, I noticed they never fixed blubuntu [07:32] civpro: so the x session starts... [07:32] should be a way to force the resolution to change in ubuntu [07:32] civpro: I thought the log said it didn't :) [07:32] <_newbie4> ayone know about analog beta drivers for the hvr-1800 hauppauge card? [07:32] no it errors out [07:32] civpro: so... how are you getting that resolution? [07:32] podecoet, seperate x sessions is actually better that twinview IMO [07:32] displays it on the screen [07:32] _newbie4: I'll try the driver off of nvidia's site I guess. [07:33] civpro: ooh, the terminal resolution? [07:33] yes [07:33] civpro: that's irrelevant. I think. [07:33] ok just checking [07:33] <_newbie4> evilGUI: did you upgrade any hardware recently? [07:33] anyone know how to uncompress a rar file(i.e. r00, r01) from command line? [07:33] _newbie4: None. [07:33] xmount25: unrar? [07:34] xmount25: unrar file.r00 [07:34] xmount25: it'll do the rest automatically [07:34] well i guess this will sound dumb, but i know how to install a driver through windows, but with no browser, and no setup utility, how am i supposed to get it from the website and install it? [07:34] did that ... just comes up with the help options [07:34] xmount25: depending on your package, either unrar or unrar-nonfree, it'll have a switch... -x or -e, or nothing at all [07:34] civpro: one second :) [07:34] is their a switch [07:34] k [07:34] How would I install these? it wants me to be booted without x? [07:34] civpro: http://ubuntu.kareeser.com/?p=44 [07:34] ok [07:34] <_newbie4> evilGUI: apt-get remove -purge totem && sudo pt-get install totem then tell me how it goes... [07:35] google docs spreadsheet component doesnt seem to work for me:( [07:35] xmount25: looks like it's just x, not -x. unrar x whatever.rar [07:35] nice ... yeah it's just x no -x [07:35] evilGUI: Note the typo in that command [07:35] <_newbie4> wow kvirc sucks for looking at, compared to konversation [07:35] Surlent777: Yeah. [07:35] evilGUI: After the dual ampersand, that should be apt-get, not pt-get [07:35] ok [07:36] <_newbie4> ^^ what he said [07:36] I prefer irssi [07:36] indeed [07:36] * _newbie4 [kicks his worthless wireless keyboard] [07:36] nice to look at, and themeable...plus awesome spam/script support ;) [07:37] _newbie4: Fixed it... [07:37] _newbie4: oddly enough, I purged it a few times before too. [07:37] Why can't I play mp3s in amarok? i have sound under prefs/sound test alsa [07:37] so, no one else has any idea about that XClient Script either, I guess. =/ [07:37] <_newbie4> evilGUI: gladd to help [07:37] fianlly [07:37] _newbie4: Thanks :D [07:37] c0ntract0r: ensure that xine plugins etc for amarok are properly installed. [07:37] after like an hour and a half, ubuntu installs onto my flash drive. [07:37] c0ntract0r: Get Ubuntu Restricted Extras from Synaptic or Add/Remove [07:38] Thanks everyone for their input. [07:38] I just downloaded the restricted extras from terminal, do i need to reboot for it to work? [07:38] I don't believe so [07:39] c0ntract0r: thats not enuf [07:39] how leave` [07:39] sweeeet. 775MB Ubuntu install. [07:39] no DE. [07:39] DE? [07:39] oh [07:39] <_newbie4> valdur55: just do /guit [07:39] nm [07:39] c0ntract0r:dont think so,only kernel upgrade would require restart [07:39] but your precious openoffice is on there. :P [07:39] hehe [07:39] I can't stop the x server and get an old school text only shell. if i try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" I just get a blinking cursor and can't do anything. If i do "sudo init 1" i get a prompt, but there is no local echo and i'm typing in the dark [07:39] <_newbie4> uhh qs/g// [07:39] seriously, with no DE, how am I supposed to use it :P [07:40] Fluxbox [07:40] UDE [07:40] something small like that [07:40] is there anyone that knows how to use linux server as a vpn server, or do I need windows 2008? [07:40] zeke: where are you typing that command? [07:40] zeke, control + alt + f1? [07:40] c0ntract0r: no restrat required but all libxine plugins for amarok are installed [07:40] in terminal [07:40] zeke: follow nogagplz's advice [07:40] <_newbie4> hey so anyone know how I can get a cli version of what is currently installed on my system? [07:40] zeke: you have to drop down to tty1 [07:40] _newbie4: I'm not sure I get what you mean [07:40] Surlent777: you assume I'm smart enough to set those things up :P [07:41] I have an intermittent problem. My mouse and keyboard on my laptop are sometimes completely unresponsive at the login screen on Ubtunu 9.04. [07:41] <_newbie4> evilGUI: did it work? [07:41] Kareeser: hahaha...I have no idea either [07:41] does anyone know how to get rid of the screen flickering (horisontal waves on the flat screen, when moving the mouse around).. [07:41] /var/log/daemon.log: "avahi-daemon: Withdrawing address record for 192.168.178.24. Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IP4 with address 192.168.178.24. Interface eth0.IPv4 no longer relevant for DNS." What does it mean to 'withdraw the address record for 192.168.178.24? [07:41] Myth`: Heh, me too. [07:41] bullgard4: Hey, I read about that today! [07:41] <_newbie4> Surlent777: sorry, maybe in te middle of something. What did you need? [07:41] I need to do a fresh install some time...but I need a huge backup thingy to put stuff on [07:41] _newbie4: came back :/ [07:41] Kareeser: Any luck with a solution? [07:42] _newbie4: I mean, I'm not sure I understand your question [07:42] <_newbie4> evilGUI: cuz why? [07:42] bullgard4: Unless I am mistaken, that's just the daemon no longer associating your IP address with your MAC address. It usually times out after about 10 minutes. [07:42] Kareeser: And can you answer the question which I have put? [07:42] what are the names of the xine packages? [07:42] _newbie4: odd, all I did was reboot... [07:42] <_newbie4> Surlent777: your question or mine? [07:42] yours [07:43] about CLI stuff [07:43] Myth`: Nope. I get frustrated and reboot. It usually works better on a hard reset, but I can't find any rhyme or reason to it. [07:43] c0ntract0r: libxine plugins [07:43] Kareeser: So I do not have no longer network access, or what? [07:43] Myth`: Have you tried using a usb keyboard? [07:43] <_newbie4> evilGUI: and?!? [07:43] bullgard4: no, it should be fine, and re-associate after you try again. But then again, I could be completely off the mark. [07:43] _newbie4: It started messing up again :/ [07:43] bullgard4: unless you are directly experiencing something wrong, I wouldn't worry [07:43] Kareeser: Ya, same thing here. That's so strange. No I have not tried a USB keyboard. Have you had any luck with one? [07:43] Kareeser: What should I try again? [07:43] <_newbie4> evilGUI: which one? [07:44] Myth`: don't have one, only ps/2 :) [07:44] Kareeser: I'm on a Dell Vostro 2510. [07:44] _newbie4: totem. [07:44] c0ntract0r: http://wawan-kurniawan.web.id/play-mp3-with-amarok-in-ubuntu-jaunty-904/ [07:44] <_newbie4> evilGUI: and please tell me you are using three different files for each program [07:44] Kareeser: I indeed am experiencing trouble: I am loosing network access via eth0. [07:44] _newbie4: I am. [07:44] Ok. How install Nvidia 96 driver? From CLI? [07:45] question guys, is there a keyboard shortcut to open the "System Monitor" ? [07:45] <_newbie4> evilGUI: totem only? [07:45] said no compiler found [07:45] Kareeser: What should I try again? [07:45] valdur55: nvidia 173 works better for me:) [07:45] bullgard4: oooh. then I am probably not of help here. I probably misdagnosed, sorry :( [07:45] diag* [07:45] MaGicMaX1: Not that I know of, but I think you should be able to set one yourself [07:45] _newbie4: Yeah. [07:45] valdur55: click on System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, then 'activate' the nvidia driver [07:45] Kareeser: Thank you for commenting. [07:45] How can get Video Card model? [07:45] bullgard4: best of luck! [07:45] Activation goes Lagg [07:45] _newbie4: For some reason VLC seems to be fixed. [07:45] valdur55: lspci -v | grep VGA [07:46] sriramoman thank you so much that was my last issue! :) [07:46] kareeser, said no compiler found [07:46] c0ntract0r: now is it fine? [07:46] absolutely [07:46] Kareeser: sorry about that, bios weirdness. It's a rhine II chipset I think [07:46] _newbie4: It lags for a bit when the video first gets loaded though. [07:46] it came awake with the danzig wide open LOL [07:46] <_newbie4> evilGUI: good so it's working... [07:46] doc|laptop: wow, you're back. what was your problem again? [07:46] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4200] (rev a3) [07:46] valdur55: it can take a few minutes [07:47] _newbie4: seems that way, for now atleast. [07:47] Surlent777: i know how to get to the keyboard shortcutts and create one, but under "Command" i guess i need to type the destination to the program, u know how i get that? [07:47] Kareeser: eventually :) my via machine's network card not being recognised under command line minimal install [07:47] ok! :) I go eating === valdur55 is now known as valdur55-brb-eat [07:47] MaGicMaX1: "whereis gnome-system-monitor" === repnop_ is now known as repnop [07:47] Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running [07:47] kernel.

[07:49] Kareeser: minimal cd via usb [07:49] if I'm installing for a multiboot system and am using a different bootloader for the harddisk, I should install grub on the boot partition right? [07:49] civpro: it really shouldn't be... ergh [07:49] Kareeser: or rather the install process copied to a usb [07:49] i mean crap, its a popular video card [07:49] doc|laptop: oh... right... >< [07:49] doc|laptop: that means all you have at your disposal is a busybox shell. scary stuff. [07:49] :) [07:49] kareeser, i have literally spent 11 hrs on trying to get an os installed on this computer [07:49] well i should say a linux os [07:49] windows is no issue [07:50] civpro: that's really unfortunate :( [07:50] Kareeser: there's a command line minimal install thing which should be usable enough, but like I said, no network support to complete installation :/ [07:50] heh, your telling me :) [07:50] civpro: we can try our best, but of course, we all have our own obligations to attend to. If you'd like better service, please give ubuntuforums.org a change! [07:50] chance* [07:50] slower paced, so your problem may get more attention. be sure to place it in an appropriate sub-forum [07:51] kareeser, no man you have been very helpful, but i am just getting frustrated, not at anyone here, but at this [07:51] after 11 hrs im sure you would also [07:51] indeed. [07:51] I'm in the same boat. [07:51] the only stuff I've found so far on the forums regarding the xscript is HEY GUYS DO I HIT THAT OR GNOME? "I DUNNO DUDE...MAY AS WELL HIT GNOME" so I'm a bit at a loss at the moment...probably time to move onto something else for now [07:51] civpro: you should try stage1 gentoo as your primary OS [07:51] arch kicked the crap out of me, twice, today. [07:51] civpro, what made you want to change to ubuntu in the first place, just out of curiosity [07:51] kareeser, dude 6 hrs was dedicated on arch, lol [07:52] doc|laptop: Oh yeah, I just did that... typing "install" on the boot: line... [07:52] Kareeser: I think I may have found a solution. Try to reconfigure xorg. [07:52] nogag, wanted to setup a base os and the virtualization on ubuntu server looked tempting [07:52] Myth`: maybe. I tried this with Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Crunchbang, and Arch [07:52] Eevee: thx alot, i made it CTRL+ALT+S :) works [07:52] civpro: I think you need to install linux-source [07:52] Myth`: I'm thinking it's a HAL problem, but whatever, I gave up :) [07:53] hmm...oh yes, has anyone else found that the Ubuntu USB creator is entirely useless? When I boot from a disk made with it, I just get a prompt that says it can't find the bootimage or something like that, and yet UNetBootin works like a charm [07:53] MaGicMaX1: if you like kb shortcuts, try gnome do: http://do.davebsd.com/ [07:53] Surlent777: I would say xwindows with the xfce de [07:53] Kareeser: I'm not certain, however, I did a soft reset after reconfiguring and everything seemed to work fine. Perhaps just the luck of the draw. [07:53] evee, its a driver issue, its not the verson of linux [07:53] atleast i do know that [07:53] Myth`: knock on wood! [07:53] gentoo i dont think would make a difference [07:53] Kareeser: yep, any idea about net card problem? [07:53] Kareeser: Absolutely, LOL! [07:53] grub wont install during my installation, how can I check the logs to see what happened? [07:53] Cryptic_Donkey: XScript has nothing to do with XFCE, really. I know that it deals with deciding what to load up, though [07:53] Im using the alternate installer [07:54] <_newbie4> evilGUI: maks no sense. try to reistnall tem... [07:54] Kareeser: Anyway, I made linux crash 3 times on me the first time I installed ubuntu a few days ago while trying to set a static IP with the wireless TCP/IP configuration utility. [07:54] civpro: haha wasn't serious; old stage1 gentoo had no installer and you got to partition, install bootloader, compile X, etc etc mostly yourself [07:54] Eevee: i accidently disabled the shotcut for "Launch Help browser" do u know what it was? :P [07:54] http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/180.51/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.51-pkg2.run is the driver im trying to get installed [07:54] Kareeser: Anyway, have a good night. I'm off to bed. G/L [07:54] doc|laptop: Unfortunately no... sorry :( [07:54] MaGicMaX1: umm, f1? [07:54] Kareeser: ok, thanks anyway [07:54] Myth`: all part of learning linux :) [07:54] eevee, i see, trying to make it easier on me heh === valdur55-brb-eat is now known as valdur55 [07:55] Surlent777: I was giving you amy honest opionin about a light weight de [07:55] grrr, the more I try to work on this problem the more convinced I'm becoming it might be time to play with netbsd [07:55] Eevee: what does GnomeDO exactly? [07:55] i am back [07:55] civpro: and it wants the kernel source, which is the 'linux-source' package [07:55] doc|laptop: no support from the community there :P [07:55] doc|laptop: so install netbsd in virtualbox ;) [07:55] Cryptic_Donkey: oh. I prefer LXDE or Fluxbox over XFCE actually, but thanks [07:55] doc|laptop: any reason you can't use a desktop live CD? [07:55] Kareeser: much the same either way really right now :/ [07:55] eevee, hrm? [07:55] Kareeser: no cd drive and very very slow from usb [07:56] MaGicMaX1: you hit win-space and can just type the name of a program to run it. and it learns, so now win-space f enter gets me firefox. I don't even have an applications menu any more [07:56] Kareeser: and that's if it even works :/ [07:56] doc|laptop: aaaahhh [07:56] doc|laptop: tried netboot? [07:56] civpro: the error about 'unable to find kernel source tree' was yours right? (I should really /ignore joins and parts in here) [07:56] Gnea: hmmm, got a link? [07:56] doc|laptop: Here's some information to go out on... it's not a fix, but a suggestion to help you search [07:56] Am I right that the ATI chip RV770 [Radeon HD 4850] is not yet supported by the radeonhd driver? I get display problems when changing it in the driver section of my xorg-file [07:56] Gnea: I couldn't find a useful one [07:56] <_newbie4> \ [07:56] !netboot | doc|laptop [07:56] doc|laptop: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[07:56] MaGicMaX1: windows key plus spacebar [07:57] doc|laptop: I've heard of people downloading packages directly from sources... copying it onto a floppy or some other installation media, and pointing their sources.list file to use it... [07:57] MaGicMaX1: although the windows key is actually 'super' [07:57] eevee, yes [07:57] doc|laptop: I definitely do NOT remember the steps to doing that... but it can be done. [07:57] grub wont install during my installation, how can I check the logs to see what happened? this is on the alternate installer [07:57] Kareeser: sounds painful [07:57] !ppa [07:57] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [07:57] Cryptic_Donkey: Not very hard at all...sometimes it likes to mess with my sound a little, but that was easy to figure out. It's actually surprisingly stable for self-proclaimed beta software, and it's pretty straightforward [07:57] doc|laptop: most of the network bootable methods up there should still work for jaunty just fine - let us know if you have any issues with it - i find it's much, much faster than usb on my laptop - and my cd drive is hosed on it too [07:57] doc|laptop: yeeeahhhhh... for an entire ubuntu system... that's a lot of packages. [07:57] think mandriva might be a better option? [07:58] Gnea: which link should I use? [07:58] doc|laptop: try Gnea's suggestion? :) [07:58] civpro: so apt-get install linux-source and try the install again. or have I missed something [07:58] Eevee: cool ill look into it [07:58] Kareeser: that's my plan right now, thanks for your help [07:58] ill try [07:58] doc|laptop: I would open them all in different tabs :) sometimes cross-referencing information works [07:58] doc|laptop: good luck! [07:58] Cryptic_Donkey: If you get it, don't forget to get the openbox configurer program thing, so you can change the window decorations and a few other things that their tool doesn't let you do [07:58] time to give this minimal ubuntu install a spin... night guys! [07:58] hi everyone , my xchat and konversation won't accept a file from a friend it keeps saying Connection failure: connection actively refused. , he can send me stuff on amsn and pidgin ok. is there a hidden blocker or firewall on ubuntu i'm unaware of? [07:58] Gnea: hehe, this sounds like it's going to hurt :) [07:59] !iptables | mano [07:59] mano: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [07:59] Eevee: i just wanted one for System Monitor cause if a program or game crashes and i cant get to dekstop (or see it) then i can get to it still to end process :P [07:59] Surlent777: Would you recommend LXDE for a intermediate user [07:59] doc|laptop: only if you let it ;) [07:59] hm, idk how to explain this why is it that like the screen is like.. moved over [07:59] Gnea: hehe, thanks [07:59] like part of the screen isnt showing, and i tried changing screen resolutions [07:59] mano: ubuntu doesn't have firewall rules by default, no [07:59] going higher only makes it worse [07:59] eevee, same error [07:59] Surlent777: Please pm me the name of that con figuration utility/ [07:59] do i need to reboot?

Interface eth0.IPv4 no longer relevant for DNS." What does it mean to 'withdraw the address record for 192.168.178.24? [07:59] Cryptic_Donkey: I think that it would be possible for them to use, yes. I put it on the family laptop and it accidentally became the default for a while, and my family tended to prefer it to GNOME [08:00] Remedy, have you tried using the auto adjust on your monitor? or am I mis-understanding? [08:00] Cryptic_Donkey: And they know jack about Linux [08:00] on my monitor itself ? [08:00] Ya, there is an auto adjust button on most monitors. [08:00] Hello. I have a quick question about gcc and the SSP... [08:00] nah that shouldnt have anything to do with it. [08:00] evee, do i need to reboot? [08:00] im running a kvm switch windows is running fine on the other pc [08:00] Hmmmm, well i'm out of ideas then. Haha. [08:00] with no screen probs [08:00] i had this problem last time i think i had to do something with the xorg.conf but i cant remember what [08:01] Ah, I see, I didn't see that first part. [08:01] civpro: don't think that would change anything no [08:01] thanks Jeruvy , ubottu and eve , i go check now! [08:01] civpro: what was the original problem again :P [08:01] cant load gui [08:01] !iptables [08:01] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[08:02] whoa [08:02] vatie im stupid lol [08:02] ? [08:02] the auto adjust totally worked [08:02] lol [08:02] can anyone lend a hand with an nvidia twinview issue? my first display works fine, but when i enable twinview my second display is highly distorted (i can make out the correct data is going there.... just distorted and rainbowish). The same happens when i just use the secondary display by itself. [08:02] Cryptic_Donkey: Open up synaptic and search for it. You should be able to find it quite easily [08:02] Haha, there ya go. [08:02] Does anyone know how I can disable the stack smashing protection when I compile my C programs? I have tried the -fno-stack-protector, and it still comes up with the SSP and than quits the program [08:02] http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/180.51/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.51-pkg2.run is what im trying to install [08:02] ctartamella: is it a different monitor or the same? [08:03] jeruvy: its a dell widescreen plugged into my laptops external display [08:03] ctartamella: ah I have no clue with laptop secondaries... sorry [08:03] jeruvy: could it be a modeline issue that would distort it?

[08:04] blah obviously i cant go any higher than 1024x768 [08:04] yo anybudy there [08:04] reuben:here we are [08:04] reuben: Only 1355 people [08:04] oh... [08:04] LoL. [08:04] hah [08:05] hey i gota prob [08:05] no, no-one is here [08:05] but if you leave a message at the tone [08:05] reuben: Don't ask to ask, etc. etc. [08:05] someone will be right with you [08:05] BEEEP [08:05] Still curious on the gcc -fno-stack-protector...Is there a way I can disable this upon compilation of my C and C++ programs to check for buffer overflow vulenrabilities? [08:05] vulnerabilities** [08:05] civpro:thats funny,hope reuben gets the point [08:05] i just installed ubuntu but my wireless card wont work, its a Broadcom 802.11b/g. any tips on how to install sum drivers? [08:05] heh [08:05] Anon: you might be better off in a C room..... [08:06] Indeed. [08:06] Any suggestions? [08:06] Anon: isn't there also a stack-protector-all? might need to turn that off? [08:06] reuben: Sacrifice a virgin on the full moon of the sixth month while singing the Tetris theme [08:06] WoW is running faster in Ubuntu then it did in Vista [08:06] strange [08:06] reuben: my broadcom worked out of the box once i installed the restricted drivers.... go to hardware drivers under administration [08:06] Tetris actually has a theme? I always played with the sound off... [08:06] Vatie: It has a few actually [08:07] MaGicMaX1: huh, same graphics settings? [08:07] There is, but I also read that the -fno-stack-protector disables it momentarily for compilation [08:07] Vatie: The most famous is, I think, the one that plays by default in say, Tetris & Dr. Mario [08:07] Vatie: the theme is half the experience! [08:07] Eevee: yes, actually AA is 1x i had it off in windows [08:07] Pretty sure I have to go play it with the sound actually on. [08:07] MaGicMaX1: that's a bit odd unless vista was really bogged down with services etc [08:08] eevee: well, it IS vista [08:08] ctartamella: touché [08:08] Vatie: And if you look on YouTube for "battle with kary subbed" you can find a killer hard rock version of it [08:08] any action game in synpantic ?????? [08:08] Eevee: i expected it would be the other way around [08:08] eevee: although windows 7 looks like it could actually compete [08:08] KingKimi: Abuse [08:08] Surlent777, ok [08:08] thnx [08:08] np [08:08] I can't reduce the brightness of my screen when on battery power [08:09] ctartamella: 7 looks more polished, but it isn't massively quicker from what I've heard and most of the changes seem to be ui [08:09] Well, actually, I just can't, not even when I do it manually. [08:09] so anyone else have any ideas, on my screwed up issue that has taken my whole saturday? 12 hrs to be exact? [08:09] kool i did that but its still not responsive, ctart......any back up plans? [08:09] (With keyboard shortcut keys) [08:09] Surlent: Ok, so I HAVE heard this theme before. I didn't totally miss out on childhood, just forgot it. [08:09] Surlent777, whats the story of it ? :P [08:09] civpro: if I knew what your problem was, then perhaps... [08:09] KingKimi: OH NOES ALIEMS KILL TEHM ALL or something like that...I don't really know [08:10] although speaking of 7, is there an alternative window list gnome-panel applet? [08:10] ciao tonino [08:10] Vatie: Awesome. Find that hard rock version if you haven't yet, it rules [08:10] Surlent777, ok [08:10] civpro: besides aptitude reinstall nvidia-glx-180 and sprinkling some fairy dust.. not really [08:10] gnea, nvidia 8500, no gui, to put it simply [08:10] parlate italiano tonino? [08:10] civpro: is the monitor connected directly or through a kvm? [08:10] Eevee: i didnt expect wine would be this good, hmm maybe i shoulda made the Ubuntu partition bigger then 50GB lol [08:11] gnea, directly, vga, its a 51in lcd tv [08:11] MaGicMaX1: Ever gotten Fable to work with it? [08:11] civpro: k. are you booted into it now? [08:12] ssh'd [08:12] Surlent777: no just WoW so far [08:12] MaGicMaX1: well it's been under development since the dawn of time; it's come a long way. still kinda hit-or-miss though; I know Left 4 Dead still runs sluggishly, and even a few non-3d apps like Acrobat don't want to work [08:12] tv is downstairs [08:12] MaGicMaX1, ubuntu is not about wine. use ubuntu for ubuntu, and don't score it based on wine [08:12] civpro: can you see the display from where you're at? [08:12] Eevee: I've noticed that Project64 is far better under Wine than XP, which blows me away [08:12] gnea, im ssh'd into it [08:12] if i walk downstairs i can see it [08:13] civpro: can you be looking at the lcd tv while you are ssh'd into it and typing into the ssh session? [08:13] why does anything in wine looks "ugly" ???? [08:13] nogagplz: ive used Ubuntu for a year now without wine, i would just like to be able to use Ubuntu more, eventually take windows right off if possible... if wine helps me get to that point so be it [08:13] Whe in installed lxde it kill gnome network manager which killed my wireles and ethernet connections [08:13] King Mimi: Google "Tombuntu Wine Ugly Stick" [08:13] How bad jaunty? [08:13] i can type into the ssh, but i cant physically view it where im at [08:13] not sure if that was what your getting to or not === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:14] hello - another question - how do I remove the central Applets pane from Amarok 2??

Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 - Please use !torrents [08:14] MaGicMaX1: but yeah wine is still just very advanced duct tape. would be preferable to get more native linux apps. buy linux releases of games if they interest you at all, etc [08:14] Cryptic_Bat: Weird. My internet always works regardless of my environment [08:14] civpro: well, it'd really be easier to diagnose if you were - are you on a wired or wireless connection? [08:14] another words, this computer, i have a putty window opened up where i can send commands [08:14] wired [08:14] yeah, i gathered that much [08:14] gnea, i can run downstairs to see, but then i cant type into mirc [08:15] heyi got a prob with my broadcom 802.11a/b/g wireless card cuz ubuntu wont use it [08:15] any suggestions? [08:15] Eevee: most games i like are not for linux [08:15] civpro: are you familiar with the irc program called irssi? [08:15] /join #heapkeeper [08:15] It the broard com drivers I think because i also have no eth1 which was my bcm 4312 wifi card [08:15] gnea, is it a gui interface? [08:15] cause it wont load if so atm [08:15] Cryptic_Bat: I'm sorry, my own network is tenuous enough...I'm afraid I don't quite know how it all works [08:15] civpro: nope, it's text-only, you could use it on the console on the tv... [08:16] ok [08:16] MaGicMaX1: yeah but it helps to show that there's a waiting linux customer base. like I waited to buy world of goo for linux rather than getting it on the wii [08:16] /join #heapkeeper [08:16] Eevee: frankly i dont game that much anymore, thats why ive spent more and more time on Ubuntu, just figured i would try this "wine" thing heh [08:16] let me try to set it up here then run downstairs once its running [08:16] sorry [08:16] but no im not familiar iwth it [08:16] civpro: alright [08:16] !irssi [08:16] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen [08:16] k its installed [08:17] now what? [08:17] civpro: /help is very thorough, alt+num or esc,num (or arrows) switches windows, other than that irc commands work the same [08:17] Cryptic_Bat: I think LXDE may have its own network manager...look around in Synaptic a bit [08:17] Eevee: i would jump all over a great linux game... i just dont see many [08:17] civpro: if you go downstairs, can you ctrl-alt-f1 and get a login prompt and login to the console that way? [08:17] MaGicMaX1: Doom 3 =) [08:17] hi, i have installed ubuntu in my system. It seems to be automounting all my partitions to /media. But it seems not be using mount! I want it to be mounted to some other mount point, what am I to do? [08:17] Wine dont support themes/visual style XD [08:17] Leonheart: That's a lie [08:18] You just need an msthemes file [08:18] MaGicMaX1: yeah, bit of a catch-22. indie devs seem to be increasingly inclined to release on linux though [08:18] Eevee: the only other app for windows that keeps me in windows is AutoCAD [08:18] gnea, there is no gui so i dont need to press anything [08:18] it fails to load [08:18] MaGicMaX1: What's AutoCAD? [08:18] rajeshsr: maybe just symbolic link it to where you want it to be. [08:19] sacarlson: ha, thats cool.But i wanna know what program and config files ubuntu uses for this purpose.. [08:19] Surlent777: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD [08:19] ok, thanks [08:19] civpro: okay - let's be clear about something: when the GUI fails to load, the 'GUI' fails to load, but the kernel and the userspace itself should actually be running. The GUI is running on tty7, or ctrl-alt-f7. by switching to the standard console login, it's possible to interact with the system in the standard, legacy mode that linux is well-known for. [08:20] testing [08:20] Surlent777: are you sure? Wht files / dll i need to copy?

It makes me think that it is using some other program for doing the whole process [08:36] nogagplz: for an older machine Kubuntu may be out of the question (KDE4 can get sluggish), Xubuntu is nice. [08:36] lucax: try doing a "sudo rmmod pcspkr" [08:36] can you give me that command again please? [08:36] If they are new to linux I would highly recommend Ubuntu. [08:36] Eevee: lol, thanks for the time though, I will keep working on it. The box still goes, its just a pain editing/shnging grub at every boot. [08:36] But my pc is 256MB Ram [08:36] can someone help me find how to enable scrolling using the trackpoint on a Lenovo ThinkPad T61, with Ubuntu 8.10?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [08:39] is that the right command? [08:39] ^o) [08:39] I think. [08:39] ^_- [08:40] civpro-trying_ag: it's xserver-xorg [08:40] oh ok [08:40] Raf - I seem to remember reading about some improved trackpoint features with Jaunty - not sure if applies to your problem though...

It is a good starting point for people who are new to Ubuntu. [08:40] Barbarella: thanks, its done [08:40] is there an offline dictionary application available ?????? [08:40] ok done [08:41] !patience [08:41] qcjn:ok [08:41] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [08:41] distrobution = distribution :( [08:41] now X [08:41] yes [08:41] or do i need to restart?

[08:44] Any grub experts in here? [08:44] !grub [08:44] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:44] It kind of is Ubuntu for the Chinese. [08:44] unrecognized option cat [08:44] joemac: lots.. but they are shy.. you'll have to ask your question if you want to lure them out in the open [08:44] It has Compiz enabled by default from the looks of things. [08:44] civpro-trying_ag: those were separate commands [08:45] oh ok [08:45] joemac: Depending on the problem, I'll take a stab at it.

[08:46] !kde | qa321qa123 [08:46] qa321qa123: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [08:46] help [08:46] qa321qa123: KDE runs on Kubuntu. Its a Window Manager like Gnome. [08:46] joemac: hm. this problem sounds fun. [08:46] joemac: ehm.. ok.. is that a problem? [08:46] pronoy: you could install the dict server [08:46] joemac: Do you need ro quiet splash? Like absolutely have to have it? [08:47] Oh!But it is slow. [08:47] roadmap, desktop environment like gnome*. kwin is the window manager [08:47] fornix.....thanks [08:47] qa321qa123: I agree. that's why I use E17 [08:47] www.pastebin.com/f1321aada [08:47] there we go [08:47] heh [08:47] civpro-trying_ag: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:47] nogagplz: From the looks of it he's using an online translator for what I'm saying. I'm trying to simplify things as much as possible. [08:47] civpro-trying_ag: gah, are you sure you got the id right? [08:48] civpro-trying_ag: link broken! [08:48] E17??What's this? [08:48] just pasted the log it wrote to, for some reason that command didnt work [08:48] let me make sure [08:48] qa321qa123: KDE4 can be slow on older computers. It may be better to use something like Gnome (which Ubuntu uses) or XFCE (which XUbuntu uses) [08:48] !e17 | qa321qa123 [08:48] qa321qa123: Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. [08:48] roadmap: Slart: ro quiet splash doesn't work and I have no interest in it. I have had to edit it out with all_generic_ide, but I won't boot of the first enrty(default) and I have to go to the 3rd one on the list to boot [08:48] qa321qa123: www.enlightenment.org [08:48] f1321aada [08:48] ok [08:48] Ok!

I have had it since dapper, andhave always had issues with it, all sata Hdds and funny MOBOs [08:51] Eevee: I won't deny that. [08:51] Slart: can I play midi files after installation [08:51] very nice [08:51] Slart:? [08:51] mouse works now [08:51] I seem to have about a dozen installed [08:51] Why don't I use the wave special effect? [08:51] joemac: So the top entry wont start but the third will?

[08:52] Why don't I use the wave special effect? [08:52] sirMajid: you should be able to.. I'm not sure if timidity includes a player.. it's really a midi synthesizer [08:52] joemac: your kernel line is wrong [08:53] From the looks of it [08:53] ok so now what? [08:53] its a mess isnt it? [08:53] civpro-trying_ag: aptitude search nvidia-glx -- are any of those installed?

[08:53] or 800 i forget [08:53] whatever the latest number is [08:53] civpro-trying_ag: it seems so... can you pastebin the output of the lspci and dmesg commands?

[08:53] sainorg9oz: yeah an upgrade shouldn't touch anything but software [08:53] sainorg9oz: yes [08:53] ya 180 [08:53] sirMajid: it converts the midi signals to sound.. so you don't have to rely on the soundcard for doing that [08:54] has anyone compiled a rt-kernel from source? I want to update my Ubuntustudio-kernel to the latest but haven't done it before, so could you point me to some good docoument about it? [08:54] Eevee: hi, the man pages for gnome-mount seem to be pointing to something like:/system/storage... it seems not to be existing in my system! Are "system" etc. alias to something?

[08:55] yeah [08:55] let me try [08:55] rajeshsr: oh, those are keys in gconf-editor (alt-f2 and run that) [08:56] unable to read lspci [08:56] btw, its a onboard video card [08:56] try like this: lspci | pastebinit [08:56] not a pci [08:56] ok [08:56] yeah, it's still part of the pci bus [08:56] civpro-trying_ag: to recap, you started with server edition and are trying to get a GUI without installing ubuntu-desktop, right? [08:57] iirc [08:57] intall fluxbox! [08:58] civpro-trying_ag: and while you're at it, see if this says if it's already installed or not: sudo apt-get install [08:58] argh! [08:58] http://pastebin.com/f29e21633 [08:58] there we go [08:58] civpro-trying_ag: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv [08:58] i just pasted a carraige return :p [08:58] eeve, let me scroll up and read === debian is now known as Guest24146 [08:58] Gnea: haha I've pasted tabs and accidentally pm'd things to a random person [08:59] I can't change the brightness of my screen - which is quite battery-unfriendly [08:59] Eevee: same haha [08:59] #krakow [08:59] Glowball: brightness keys don't work? [08:59] eevee yes thats correct abotu the desktop, [08:59] krakow? is that like, a noise? [08:59] so just sudo apt-get install ? [08:59] hi [08:59] Hi, I have problems installing ubuntu on an old laptop ( 600Mhz, 160mb of ram, no dvd, cdrom only ), I tryed the alternate install as well but it doesn't install ( says it can't find an adaguate kernel to install ), I've heard there is a version installable from USB, where can I find it? or is there another easy to use linux distribution I can try to install? [08:59] Personally I thought of the Kraken when I read that. [08:59] nothing after? [09:00] Glowball: right-click empty space in panel and 'add to panel', there's a brightness applet [09:00] I smash a windows cd and it makes a sound like KRAKOW!! [09:00] Eevee: They do, I see the settings change in the upper right corner of my screen, but the actual brightness isn't changing... [09:00] civpro-trying_ag: no he corrected it a few lines later [09:00] ok ill scroll up [09:00] Eevee: same thing for the brightness applet [09:00] civpro-trying_ag: no, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv [09:01] Eevee: It tells me it's changed, while it actually isn't [09:01] civpro-trying_ag: i'm sorry, i'm making a lot of typos tonight [09:01] ok back [09:01] Eevee: Seems no way to change mount point from /media! [09:01] Glowball: oh, then might be a compat problem with the laptop === m5it_ is now known as t3ch_ [09:02] it was right [09:02] rajeshsr: I'm fairly certain that this was already mentioned, but could you symlink it? [09:02] rajeshsr: you could delete /media and replace it with a link to some other plac I suppose [09:02] yeah [09:02] civpro-trying_ag: it was already installed? [09:02] ok ill try X again now [09:02] lemme check [09:03] Eevee: any hints about how to fix it? My sound wasn't working out-of-the-box either, but in the end, it does :) [09:03] not doesnt look like it was [09:03] Eevee: Thats too much of inflexibility :) Anyway thanks! [09:03] nope* [09:03] civpro-trying_ag: alright, then yeah, try X again [09:03] rajeshsr: reading this manpage, it sounds like the /media is added by HAL rather than gnome [09:03] same thing [09:03] want a new log? [09:03] sure [09:03] ok [09:04] Glowball: might be a page for your laptop on help.ubuntu.com with workarounds for known problems [09:04] Ok, I'll check it, thanks ;) [09:04] http://pastebin.com/f7bbb22d8 [09:04] Glowball: fixed all my macbook problems at least [09:04] np [09:05] hi [09:05] Eevee: It also seem to be talking abt reading from /etc/fstab. Thats exactly i want. I want the flexibility of /etc/fstab and also wanted it to be listed in Places menu, which i think only gnome-mount can do. [09:05] how to use pc man x bbs client [09:05] Eevee: Do u see how to make it mount from /etc/fstab? [09:06] even though im running this as a base system, its important to get the drivers working because if not i believe virtualbox wont install others correctly [09:06] is [09:06] civpro-trying_ag: ok, try this again: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [09:06] there? [09:06] anybody [09:06] ok [09:07] /var/log/daemon.log: "avahi-daemon: Withdrawing address record for 192.168.178.24. Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IP4 with address 192.168.178.24. Interface eth0.IPv4 no longer relevant for DNS." What does it mean to 'withdraw the address record for 192.168.178.24? [09:07] done [09:07] zhoujingrui: never heard of it [09:07] same thing [09:07] ? [09:07] in ubuntu [09:07] civpro-trying_ag: error about 'vesa'? [09:07] internet [09:07] want a new pastebin [09:07] what? [09:07] rajeshsr: oh it looks like you can add to the places menu manually by editing ~/.gtk-bookmarks [09:07] dont get to see much [09:07] civpro-trying_ag: sure [09:08] had a PC man x bbs [09:08] Hello! I've some problems with netbook remix: When switching the desktop mode from "classical desktop" to "Ubuntu-Netbook-Desktop" the GNOME panels remain displayed and are layed over the "netbook interface". How to fix that? [09:08] zhoujingrui: what language do you speak? [09:09] zhoujingrui: you might want to ask in #ubuntu-cn === civpro-trying_ag is now known as shawnmstout [09:09] Eevee: Thank you very much! Got it! But i would really want to know is there any plan in making gnome-mount more flexible! [09:09] ok [09:10] hey its civpro, they made me identify [09:10] where would i go for audio speaker/headphone difficulty???? [09:10] So many strange responses I can think of to a question like that... [09:10] shawnmstout: gotcha [09:10] and other is still in the channel upstairs [09:10] rajeshsr: I can hardly speak for the gnome devs but I doubt it; changing the default root mount point is a pretty obscure thing to do. and for all I know there's already a way to do it and I just don't know what it is [09:11] gnea, im i fighting a downhill battle here? [09:11] shawnmstout: depends on how you define 'bottom of the hill' [09:11] definitely not simple i know that much [09:11] Eevee: hmm! Thanks [09:11] heh [09:11] :) [09:11] just as long as you dont give up on me :) [09:11] well [09:11] i do need to sleep soon [09:11] HELLO MOTO !!! [09:11] HELLO MOTO !!! [09:11] HELLO MOTO !!! [09:11] bro how to install exe file in [09:12] ubuntu [09:12] !caps | thadoood [09:12] thadoood: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [09:12] khg, wine [09:12] how to? [09:12] Eevee: Doesn't Ubuntu use HAL for automounting devices? [09:12] filezilla ftw [09:12] !wine | khg [09:12] khg: 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 [09:12] roadmap: yes as I discovered about four minutes ago [09:12] im sorry, ive been drinking and im invigorated by this forums intricate conversations pieces of shiot ! [09:12] Eevee: If Hal is whats autmounting the devices shouldn't he be able to change it by editing the hal configurations? [09:12] so anymore ideas? [09:12] thadoood: then please, step away from the computer and come back when you are sober. [09:13] Eevee: I have some fun experience with hal. I've never played with how its setup on Ubuntu, but if he wants to change the default automount point there is a way. [09:13] Assuming hal does it. [09:13] i cant.... the computorrrr is calling me, i cant resist its temptation of excellence [09:13] do you think i would be better off with mandriva, or am i going to run into the same thing [09:13] speaking of wich, when i wake up in the morning , i piss excellent [09:13] roadmap: my highly detailed search (ack -a media /etc/hal) didn't find anything useful [09:13] just thought i would share that [09:13] thadoood: you should join #ubuntu-offtopic, they will be much more to your current style :) [09:14] i started out with archlinux about 10am today, its not 4:13am heh [09:14] Eevee: I don't think /etc/hal is the right place to look. Let me take a look at it. I may be wrong :). [09:14] great idear [09:14] Eevee: debian logic baffles the mind. [09:14] Hey, Im having some issues getting my ubuntu minimal install to play sound, I have the ALSA packages installed, alsa-mixer shows that nothing is muted either (running 9.04 minimal with lxde on a tx1000) [09:14] roadmap: my experience with HAL consists mainly of not needing to know it exists, so [09:14] Eevee: Well you have now known for well over four minutes. Congratulations. [09:15] i mean if there is a chance ill try mandriva, but i have a hunch im going to run into the same exact thing [09:15] roadmap: well I KNEW, I just didn't NEED to :P clearly it is doing a good job [09:15] shawnmstout: well, mandriva uses rpm's, so you might just be barking up a whole other tree then [09:15] shawnmstout: let's check something else - were you able to get that other pastebin up? [09:15] yes last one was.... [09:15] shawnmstout: might have better luck just installing desktop and ripping everything out [09:15] http://pastebin.com/f11ebf0bb [09:16] eevee, it wont install, driver issue [09:16] well it installs but no user interface [09:16] gui i mean [09:16] I'm having odd behaviour on 9.04 (while my laptop worked ok on 8.10)... I suspect something in the kernel (getting random crashes/fsck complaints on boot, but memtest86, smart, badblocks claim all is ok, also 8.10 works ok)... can I get older (2.6.27-11, from 8.10) kernel into 9.04? I could build that, but if I can "force" apt somehow... [09:16] is there any way to make wget ignore javascript & #target links ? [09:16] so basically im left at the same exact thing [09:16] help me:$? [09:16] shawnmstout: hrm, the reconfiguration left it using the vesa driver, which definitely won't work... can you edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the instances of 'vesa' with 'nv'? [09:17] heya [09:17] (ok, I try for the third and last time ) I have problems installing ubuntu on an old laptop ( 600Mhz, 160mb of ram, no dvd, cdrom only ), I tryed the alternate install as well but it doesn't install ( says it can't find an adaguate kernel to install ), I've heard there is a version installable from USB, where can I find it? or is there another easy to use linux distribution I can try to install? [09:17] khg, we gave you your answer [09:17] shawnmstout: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:17] dent, did you see anything in /var/log/messages? [09:17] Draco_1: Your machine may not be i686 compatible? [09:17] yes i can do that [09:17] is there some pdfedit software like adobe crobat [09:17] brb [09:17] khg: install wine - check Applications menu [09:17] Or does Ubuntu require i386? [09:17] Which Version would i need to put on my Mac PowerBook G4 [09:17] it's a celeron, i386 compatible for sure [09:17] marcel_: nothing conclusive... when appcrashes, I see SIGSEGV logged... and sometimes filesystem complains... it seems like its slowly "rotting" when on, untill it crashes [09:17] abin_: could try scribus, it can read (most) pdfs [09:18] Gnea tolk [09:18] abin_: and any app can print to pdf [09:18] p8 [09:18] prv [09:18] dent, what filesystem are you using [09:18] private [09:18] marcel_: tried ext2/3/4, basically the same :-( [09:18] Draco_1: if you have linux (or windows) laying around download a tool called UNetBootin. You can find it on sourceforge, or in the Synaptic repositories. [09:18] marcel_: I.e. I think it's not FS-caused [09:18] khg: no, keep it in the channel - makes it easier for others to help you [09:18] Draco_1: You can then take the Ubuntu ISO (or have UNetBootin download and do this for you) and put it on a USB device. [09:18] dent, what architecture? i386? [09:18] Draco_1: installing from USB would still be the same installer. sure you're not trying to install the 64-bit version? [09:19] marcel_: x86_64 [09:19] um, hrm [09:19] PB G4 PPC 1.33Ghz (Manu. April 04) 17" [09:19] no xorg.conf file in etc [09:19] Draco_1: After that you can boot Ubuntu off a USB drive, in which you should be able to install from (assuming this is your problem) [09:19] shawnmstout: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:19] how would i go about setting up a simple home network where i can share printers and directories? [09:19] wtf [09:19] !pm | khg [09:19] prefereably something windows computers can be on too? [09:19] khg: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [09:19] dent, did you try boot options like iommu=false? [09:19] yes, I'm quite sure I chosed the 32bit version, thanks for the info, I will check it out [09:19] Eevee: I think its architecture related. I think Ubuntu requires i686 compatibility. [09:19] can someone help me with install partitioner? because, honestly, I don't get it [09:19] marcel_: did not... will do, thanks for tip [09:19] I use all kinds of linux distros so I may be spreading disinformation. [09:19] If I'm wrong about that someone let me know. [09:19] Hey, Im having some issues getting my ubuntu minimal install to play sound, I have the ALSA packages installed, alsa-mixer shows that nothing is muted either (running 9.04 minimal with lxde on a tx1000). Anyone know of any posted fixes or ideas? I've done quite a bit of searchig and I cant come up with anything. [09:19] Otherwise its architecture related. [09:19] i'd really appreciate help being pointed in the right direction, even if it's a link or FAQ on home networking [09:19] well i got kicked out of the other channel so im back [09:19] Draco_1: according to the website at least 256MB of ram is required for the alternate install [09:19] dammit ! [09:20] roadmap: I've never read anything to that effect but I don't know that you're wrong either [09:20] dent, if you use a livecd for instance with xubuntu amd64, do you have crashes? [09:20] Hi, are the query parameters of a SSL/HTTPS GET request exposed to the world? [09:20] thadoood, ask support in clean language or not at all. [09:20] no xorg.conf file man [09:20] apparently thier drinking haterade at this time of morning [09:20] i dont get it [09:20] marcel_: also didn't try... will try [09:20] how do I move the slider in the installer? I just want ubuntu installed alongside my current windows partition, not resize or anything [09:20] me.... im still drinking beer [09:20] Eevee: Again, It could be other distros I've used (like Arch) that require i686 and Ubuntu is more architecture friendly. [09:20] it is /etc/xorg.conf correct? [09:20] thadoood, ask your support question only. [09:21] elky: dont be such a nazi , gawd i was just messing with yall [09:21] shawnmstout: no, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:21] dent, i would go for xubuntu amd64 ext4 fs, and try boot option iommu=false, i have this also [09:21] geeezz loiussss [09:21] ah [09:21] ok [09:21] Gnea tolk me in private [09:21] shawnmstout: most stuff in /etc is in /etc// [09:21] marcel_: odd is it looks pretty much like HDD/RAM issue, but older ubuntu works, and so do ram/hdd tests :-/ [09:21] khg: i said NO [09:21] marcel_: thanks once again, Im gonna try it out [09:21] i used XChat :( [09:21] i not use very good [09:22] th0r: so I can't install ubuntu on that pc? [09:22] dont kick me because im right and your anal [09:22] !!! [09:22] Draco_1: not according to ubuntu.com [09:22] !guidelines | thadoood [09:22] thadoood: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [09:22] Draco_1: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/desktopedition at the bottom of the page lists the hw requirements [09:22] thadoood:you can use your cdrom as a cup holder, try it. [09:23] Barbarella: now that's just mean :) [09:23] th0r: strange, the install runs anyway [09:23] bro:$ [09:23] hello [09:23] Gnea [09:23] can you suggest me another linux distro to try? [09:23] there is no vesa or nv [09:24] in that file [09:24] Gnea tolk me bro [09:24] gnea [09:24] khg: please /join #winehq and ask there [09:24] hello, i need help for hda intel sound codec: Realtec ALC662 rev1 on ubuntu 9.04 64 Bit [09:24] Draco_1: It could be a bad disc, bad ISO and you need to redownload it and reburn it. [09:24] i join [09:24] :) [09:24] can anyone suggest me the option for fsck? [09:24] Draco_1: Its very likely that your computer is capable but the download is corrupt. That could be a big part of it. [09:24] gnea, no instances of vesa or nv [09:24] in that file [09:25] Draco_1: However if you want alternative distros I can give you a handfull :) [09:25] Gnea i join [09:25] tolk me:@ [09:26] Draco_1: if you redownload it try the torrent link; pretty hard to get a corrupt torrent download [09:26] ??? fsck?? [09:26] Draco_1: If you use firefox, I'd suggest using a download manager like DownThemAll. Otherwise do as Eevee suggests and try the torrent. [09:26] so where can i get help on my audio?? [09:26] hi, i cant use ati catalys control center in my ubuntu, because ati have stopped support for x800 series, so i need to use open-source drivers. so i was wondering if there is some other program for linux to controlt tv-out system and other useful stuff.. is there some equal software or something els i should do? [09:26] gnea, you falling asleep on us? [09:26] Eevee: I've seen torrent clients freak out and go over 100% on a file before (120% complete? Somethings wrong). I've also seen it claim 100% and still missing a piece or two. [09:26] shawnmstout: could you please pastebin it? [09:26] soon... [09:26] sure [09:27] Eevee: He very easily could have jump the gun on the "Complete" from a torrent client :). [09:27] I think that makes at least 3 of us having audio issues... [09:27] hello? [09:27] shawnmstout: i'm thinking that maybe you'd just be better off installing the desktop version [09:27] ciao asa [09:27] so no help just more questions? [09:27] hi [09:27] shawnmstout: are you the guy who has Ubuntu Server and wants to get a desktop environment on it without installing ubuntu-desktop? [09:27] What version do I need a forum said 7.10 Desktop [09:28] I will try the torrent thanks [09:28] hi asa [09:28] is there some pdfedit software like adobe crobat [09:28] do you know the command fsck? [09:28] is that right? and will it overright OSX Tiger or Dual boot [09:28] http://pastebin.com/f1a594131 [09:28] So it is you [09:29] i would run into the same issue though [09:29] shawnmstout: whats your reasoning for doing this backwards? [09:29] with the driver [09:29] jebussell: whoa, 7.10 is old. (the versions are year.month of release.) you probably want 9.04. dual-booting a mac is slightly tricky though, 1s [09:29] shawnmstout: Why pick a server distro then want to configure something like X on it? [09:29] roadmap, im only installing a base system, wanted to run virtualbox overtop of it [09:29] << HDA Intel Sound with Codec Realtec ALC662 rev1 > low volume output and if i move the mouse or starting a program the boxes make like a "sssrrrrrrrr", plz help [09:30] gui is the only way to test to make sure that the video card is getting noticed [09:30] os[Linux 2.6.28-11-generic x86_64] distro[Ubuntu "jaunty" 9.04] cpu[2 x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 2,00GHz] mem[Physical: 1,9GB, 80,5% free] disk[Total: 47,2GB, 83,5% free] video[nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7300 GT]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel] [09:30] shawnmstout: I would have to say Ubuntu is not necessarily suited for that kind of behaviour :).

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:34] humm... a veery peculiar question. is there an emulator for gameboy that would have midi-sync enabled?`:) [09:35] ok [09:35] done [09:35] hi all, is there an issue with shutting down in ubuntu 9.04 ?? [09:35] and..? [09:35] how can set up a local sever with ubuntu [09:35] giganto: not here, is there? [09:35] failed to load module vesa, doesnt exist [09:36] xken: best to ask in #ubuntu-server [09:36] Gnea, when I shut down, it brings me to a blank screen where it says some number and then "system halted" [09:36] would someone point me to info on setting up a private home network. Ubuntu 9.10 [09:36] do i need to add a line in there for nv? [09:36] [09:36] Niv3k: plug the computers into a router. after that it rather depends what you want to do [09:37] shawnmstout: possibly... cd /etc/X11/ && rgrep -i vesa what results do you get? pastebin? [09:37] 1 sec [09:37] shawnmstout: I would recommend going with something like ArchLinux or even Gentoo at this rate if you want something for a server. [09:37] Niv3k: please wait until October to ask again. [09:37] shawnmstout: or just take the Ubuntu Server kernel and replace the ubuntu desktop kernel with it. [09:37] Serve files around a home network [09:37] shawnmstout: Most likely that kernel is what has been optimized/streamlined for virtualization. [09:38] Niv3k: right-click folders, Sharing Options. other machines should show up under Network [09:38] Niv3k: :) [09:38] no responce yet [09:38] Gnea: I assume he's using the pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha [09:38] no command just cd /etc/X11/ && rgrep -i vesa right? [09:38] Gnea: or has a time machine which I would like to borrow [09:38] Hey, Im having some issues getting my ubuntu minimal install to play sound, I have the ALSA packages installed, alsa-mixer shows that nothing is muted either (running 9.04 minimal with lxde on a tx1000). Anyone know of any posted fixes or ideas? I've done quite a bit of searchig and I cant come up with anything. [09:38] Eevee: available via ess-vee-enn? [09:38] K thanks [09:39] umm where can I ask about this shutting down issue with ubuntu 9.04? [09:39] shawnmstout: can you pastebin dpkg -l |grep xorg [09:39] So i dont need to setup a vpn [09:39] giganto: could search the forums [09:39] what is the best distro to run a local server wisely? [09:39] kinda froze here now gnea [09:39] Niv3k: er no, that's only if you want to make a fake LAN over the internet [09:39] giganto: here. just say what the details of the problem are. if someone knows, they'll try to help. [09:40] ahh... thanks [09:40] xken: we have a little ubuntu desktop machine that acts as a server [09:40] Eevee, ah, I tried that before, nothing, that's why I came here [09:40] xken, debian is pretty solid for servers, but its all about preference really [09:40] ne1 else got issues with ubuntu 9.04 and ATI gfx drivers for radeon 1650 [09:40] shawnmstout: you did type cd /etc/X11 before running the rgrep command, right? [09:40] gnea, nothing is happening [09:40] no [09:40] shawnmstout: then ctrl-c [09:40] i combined them together [09:40] o.O [09:40] lol [09:41] shawnmstout: make sure you do the cd first :) === tristan is now known as qp [09:41] im already in that directory [09:41] hi guys... can someone tell me the best supported audio format in linux. that is without installing any properitary drivers. am completely shifting to linux and want to convert all my mp3's to that format.. [09:41] ok - rgrep should take MUCH less time now [09:41] ok [09:42] xPhilosx: could try running a sound-producing app from the terminal. if there's a problem talking to alsa it might spew to stderr [09:42] saminlinux: mp3s are supported in Linux. So is Flac, Ogg, and any other format you can imagine. [09:42] saminlinux: ogg - but DON'T convert your mp3s - the quality will be much worse [09:42] just rgrep -i vesa [09:42] Gnea, ah okay... The problem basically is like this, I tried shutting down the normal way, system shutdown ... etc... then it would start to shut down, the logo came up ... with that bar, after which it would go to a blank screen with a random number that looks like this "2341.23451 system halted" [09:42] Eevee, good idea, ill give something a whirl [09:42] saminlinux: ogg vorbis [09:42] saminlinux: Also if you use ubuntu, synpatic has libraries for any format you want supported. [09:42] shawnmstout: yes. [09:42] synaptic [09:42] i cant type :( [09:42] whats it doing, out of curiosity? [09:42] so to what format should i convert my mp3'2??? [09:42] mp3's??? [09:42] saminlinux: Don't convert them. They will work fine on Linux just as they are right now. [09:43] Mp3s should stay mp3s [09:43] saminlinux: unless you have a statue to RMS erected in your closet, there's no reason to convert them [09:43] Eevee: Stay out of my closet. [09:43] i have a windows 7 partition and i cant seem to resize it under gparted 9.04ubuntu [09:43] lflashlnzl: I'd say try the gparted boot disk. [09:43] giganto: aaah, sounds like acpi isn't working right - try this at bootup in grub on the kernel line: acpi=force [09:43] oh ok... nope i just wanted to know all this ffmpeg and wma is driving me crazy thats why [09:43] saminlinux: if you have the original CDs or flacs, sure, you could rip those to ogg, but otherwise you'd be chewing up perfectly good files [09:43] Hello everyone [09:43] Salut tout l' monde [09:44] saminlinux: there's an mp32ogg [09:44] lflashlnzl: gparted refuses, or it just won't let you resize it any smaller than it is now? [09:44] !info mp32ogg [09:44] mp32ogg (source: mp32ogg): Converts MP3 file to Ogg Vorbis. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11-12 (jaunty), package size 7 kB, installed size 64 kB [09:44] roadmap, should i just use the live CD? thats how i resize it the first time [09:44] saminlinux: Once again, I'll keep my answer short and simple. Do not convert them. Mp3s play in linux. Hell, all formats that play in Windows play in Linux (note: MEDIA FILES, so Video/Audio) [09:44] Gnea, ah right ... the acpi problem ... there's a thread on the forum, I'll take a look at it again, I wasn't sure previously what my issue was, anyway, thanks a lot [09:44] lflashlnzl: There is a bootable gparted CD i prefer for doing partition editing work. I've yet to have a problem with it. [09:44] wma doesnt seem to be supported in ubuntu am i right cos my banshee searches for codecs and reports that nothing suitable is found.. exaile hangs when wma are used [09:45] Hey [09:45] saminlinux: have you tried VLC? [09:45] saminlinux: but I agree with roadmap - there's no need to convert them, mp3's are fine the way they are [09:45] Eevee, it just reduses to let me resize! only options are to format [09:45] my Ubuntu server just powered off, what should I check to see what caused it? [09:45] gnea, its just sitting there man [09:45] hey guys , i cannot seem 2 unmount my USB pen drive on Ubuntu .. [09:45] not donig anything [09:45] shawnmstout: ctrl-c and try like this then: rgrep -i vesa * [09:45] ok guys... i am not converting my mp3's.. what about wma's???? [09:45] saminlinux: vlc or mplayer will play anything. Anything. I don't care if its a format from the moon. [09:45] re-compressing compressed audio-video files provides quality-loss [09:45] ok [09:45] neither with gparted [09:45] !wma | saminlinux [09:45] saminlinux: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [09:46] let me check that out... for video am using smplayer currently guys and for audio banshee and exaile [09:46] ok had to add sudo to it but it set it now [09:47] shawnmstout: any results? [09:47] same results [09:47] saminlinux: I prefer Rhythm Box and VLC for video. However VLC probably can play WMAs. I wouldn't see why it couldnt. [09:47] have they come up with a functional clipboard manager yet? [09:47] change to nv? [09:47] yeah [09:47] will check that out roadmap. thank you [09:47] probably shouldn't have the router plugged into the outlet controlled by a wall switch [09:47] saminlinux: you're welcome. And if you can't play wmas then there are plenty of tools to convert them. [09:48] mweh [09:48] Eevee: lol [09:48] It’s up now, night [09:48] thank you guys esp Gnea, Eevee [09:48] np [09:48] nope [09:48] saminlinux: cheers [09:48] Gnea: someone put that outlet right next to the coax! not my fault [09:48] saminlinux: VLC plays WMAs :) [09:48] I win! [09:48] However it can't tell you the duration of the WMA [09:48] Thats a small price to pay [09:49] At least the playlist can't. The actual player seems to be able to. [09:49] Gnea, smae thing [09:49] Hey folks is there anyone here who can help me with Slitaz distribution ? Here' s the only IRC I know, thats why I came here ^^ [09:49] shawnmstout: not sure then... and too tired to continue..sorry :( [09:49] i think we have exhausted this, thanks for your help though [09:49] ya im feeling the same way [09:49] heh [09:49] shawnmstout: why not use the Ubuntu Server kernel on the desktop edition? [09:49] Or do you think evil will come of it ;) [09:49] after 12+ hours, heh [09:49] roadmap, its not going to help [09:50] The kernel is probably what was optimized for virtualization [09:50] have you ever configured/compiled a kernel? [09:50] Its like authoring a novel [09:50] extremely tedious [09:50] dude, im telling you, its a driver issue, screen issue [09:50] hey guys , icannot seem to unmount or format my pendrive with ext3 on Ubuntu .. [09:50] the kernel may have not been compiled with support for X :( [09:50] it is now [09:50] Ah === ubuntu is now known as fib0nacci [09:50] using gparted i made a bew partition table of msdos [09:50] hello, can some one help me use apt-mirror? I have done all the configurations right in the /etc/apt/mirror.list and did the sudo apt-mirror command. but it says thread 20,19,18 .. till 2 and stops there. finally it comes down to 1 ... and never goes ahead. [09:51] i tried the live cd and same thing, for the desktop version [09:51] no gui [09:51] and now i have my pendrive as unallocated place .. but wen i try to format it with ext 3 ..the operation fails [09:51] shawnmstout: I would recommend another distro for this. [09:51] ya, ill try mandriva, and if that doesnt work, well im back to windows [09:51] shawnmstout: perhaps ArchLinux or Gentoo. They both have similar philosophys for doing things from scratch, and plenty of tutorials and aid to help. [09:51] tried archlinux, same thing [09:51] Really? [09:51] yup [09:51] Arch has yet to cause problems for me. [09:51] and I author parts of the ArchWiki [09:52] shawnmstout: uhh. what card? [09:52] well im using a 52in LCD TV and a geforce 8200 [09:52] Eevee, apparently im just a moron because after running alsa-mixer again I noticed that my "front" was rather low, after boosting it up, shazam, sound.

Good luck.

[10:24] thanks [10:24] is here some oftopick chanel? [10:24] I have a virus [10:25] Or whatever [10:25] in linux? [10:25] you cant be affected by viruses [10:25] Yep [10:25] Teknkik: #ubuntu-offtopic [10:25] Got it through IM [10:25] ziroday: I just tried grandr. I wrote 1700*700 manually in the text box (it wasn't as option) and clocked Apply. Nothing happend. I restarted Ubuntu. No change :( [10:25] ok your exe can be affected by viruses [10:25] .net [10:25] thankcs ziroday :D [10:25] nANdy: only other way I know is in xorg.conf, sorry [10:25] M-a-r-k: how do you know you have a virus? [10:26] ziroday cough cough [10:26] ziroday: k, tried that too, but the lines all the tutorials are mentioning aren't present in my xorg.conf [10:26] ziroday: i'm trying to install it but it says gl library is missing [10:26] i rang the swine flu information line the other day but all i got was crackle! [10:26] nANdy: you need to add them in yourself [10:26] Basically I got a message that seemed to be from one of my buddies that said Photo? Link to supposed photo with my msn id in it HA HA [10:27] Patrique: are you doing sudo apt-get install rss-glx? [10:27] M-a-r-k: change your hotmail password then. [10:27] Good idea [10:27] M-a-r-k: and that isn't a virus, its a phishing attack. [10:28] social engeneering [10:28] Damn. How do I change the password? [10:28] M-a-r-k: we can't help you with hotmail here. [10:29] ziroday: no i'm not [10:29] should i? [10:29] Patrique: yes... [10:30] why is the default gnome desktop in ubuntu such a resource hog in comparison with for example sabayon? on my box, a core 2 duo, both cores idle around 10 % in gnome system monitor on the jaunty live cd, while they idle around 2-3 % with compiz activated on a sabayon live cd in gnome [10:30] (in gnome system monitor also) === dereine[OFF] is now known as dereine [10:30] ok i got it... thx:) [10:30] Hedge|Hog: Ya... I don't understand you [10:31] umm when i boot with ubuntu my keyboard doesnt work o.O [10:31] however in bios and in help it does [10:31] iSunny: the gnome desktop in sabayon seems much easier on the cpu [10:31] Hedge|Hog: no idea.. might be graphics driver related.. or some other service running on ubuntu and not sabayon.. on my machine the installed system barely registers when idling [10:31] Turnni, is it a USB keyboard? [10:31] Slart: it shouldnt be like that then? [10:31] no [10:32] Hedge|Hog: I really can't say.. but I don't see that behaviour on my machine.. [10:33] Slart: its not that you notice it when running other programs or so, but its quite a big difference between 10-15% load on idle on both cores and just 2-3% [10:33] Hedge|Hog: when I run the system-monitor it is the process that is using the most cpu cycles.. and that's running azureus, music playing etc.. [10:33] Can I remove gnome-dbg (because I want to remove Evolution) if I use xfce, but Gnome is still installed and using some of it's apps? [10:33] Hedge|Hog: you might want to check if ubuntu lowers the frequency on your cpus.. that makes the percentage go up [10:33] well, i know that, but its in gnome system monitor on both distributions [10:34] nope, both desktops with the cpugovernor set to performance first [10:34] Hedge|Hog: apart from that there isn't really much we can say about why your system behaves the way it does.. if you feel sabayon is snappier and more responsive then by all means use that [10:35] severian: its got 6 pins idk what its called [10:35] allright, thats what i thought youd answer.. [10:36] damn. [10:36] Oh, sorry. [10:36] My uh, pulseaudio refuses to uh, shut up. [10:36] however my mouse in both usb and whatever the 6pin's called doesnt work when i boot [10:36] o.O [10:37] PS2 ? [10:37] I've got it on the system but I don't want it to start for my current user. How do I turn it off for that user? [10:37] Do I wander through gconf looking for a pulseaudio switch? [10:37] Turnni, That is eith a PS2 or AT keyboard, then. The small one is PS2 and that is most likely. I have seen a problem on some motherboards with USB keyboards, and I thought I might have been able to help if it had been that. Sorry, I don't have a suggestion for you. [10:38] hey, is there anybody who can give an link to an helpful howto for installing a irc-hybrid-server? [10:38] google didn't help that much [10:39] where is the firewall in ubuntu? [10:39] use firestarter to manage your firewall [10:39] Hymnosis, iptables [10:39] it is an gui [10:39] thanks [10:39] !ufw [10:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [10:39] severian: what about my usb mouse? [10:39] huh..no ufw factoid [10:39] !firewall [10:39] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [10:40] is there a way to have firestarter run after login? [10:40] !session | Sergeant_Pony [10:40] Sergeant_Pony: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [10:41] Slart, even tho a password is needed to run it? [10:41] Sergeant_Pony: but firestarter is just a gui to setup the firewall.. it isn't a firewall in itself.. it's already running when you boot [10:41] Slart, that's how I monitor what's going on with my inet connection [10:42] Sergeant_Pony: then you have to work some more.. you can make sudo not require a password for firestarter.. or use some other mechanism.. there are few.. [10:42] Slart, ok thanks [10:42] please i need a sample config-file for irc-hybrid-server [10:43] or a helpful howto [10:43] any ideas where i can find this? [10:43] * __d3f0__ is away: Ausente por el momento [10:43] google didn't help [10:44] how can i install FluxBox in ubuntu 9.04?? [10:45] guys could anybody help me in telling me how to install a window manager in my ubuntu 9.04?? [10:45] sudo apt-get install fluxbox [10:45] omg thx! [10:46] Probably better would be sudo apt-get install fluxbox fluxconf [10:46] guys do you use gnome, kde or a lighter window manager? [10:46] hm. Can't remove pulseaudio, as several packages say they depend upon it, too. [10:46] harlemdavvey, yes, usually. [10:47] I use kde here on Mandriva, though on Ubuntu, I use the Gnome default of metacity. [10:47] what file does ubuntu store keyboad shortcuts in ? - i have a backup of my home directory and need to restore... [10:47] harlemdavvey, I use those and one that is not lighter. enlightenment. [10:47] and have you ever used a lighter environment like enlightenment, fluxbox, ...?? [10:48] Hey there I have an old Samsung R50 laptop running dualboot ubuntu 9.04 / XP. Compared to XP i have 70% of the battery life in Jaunty (even with powertop). What could be the cause for this? [10:48] i would love to use a sort-of -alternative window manager but i really cannot find some guides [10:48] harlemdavvey, openbox is my current preference for a lightweight manager. Install crunchbang. It is Ubuntu customized for openbox. [10:50] im going to be playing around with X this summer. does anybody know any good books for understanding/programming X? [10:53] is crunchbang installable with terminal command? [10:55] harlemdavvey, crunchbang is an installable Linux distro, just like ubuntu. In fact, it is derived from Ubuntu. You boot from the CD and then install from the menu. [10:56] harlemdavvey: sudo apt-get install openbox [10:57] severian : i don't want to install with iso [10:57] gg [10:57] i have no time to download [10:57] !build-essential [10:57] Compiling software from source?

[11:00] harlemdavvey, as someone else said, you can install openbox from apt-get. Crunchbang has a nicely configured openbox and is better to start with. But, if you don't have time, then make do.

[11:13] bj0rn2: you can mount over ssh with sshfs [11:13] Evee: the xp cd said something like theres no hard drive and just told me to restart [11:14] Eevee: do i format the unallocated 15gb?

I don't think that error message has anything to do with it [11:17] SparkyFlary: yes fat32 is read by xp [11:17] bj0rn2: well it's not a file you're mounting so mount doesn't do it, no. it goes through fuse [11:18] hi [11:18] can i then make that fat32 to ntfs with xp?

[11:32] archman: or some kind of configuration editor. [11:33] yes [11:33] archman: run that. go to apps/metacity/global_keybindings [11:33] anyone an idea why my links still open in firefox after changing to evolution in "preferred applications"? [11:33] bassliner: evolution isn't a browser. [11:33] lianimator, thanks, will try, gotta go to lunch, i'll contact you ;) [11:34] what should I delete in ~ to get a default jaunty desktop/theme? going to reinstall but keep ~ [11:34] archman: I gotta go too, just change the value to Super_L [11:34] err [11:34] anyone an idea why my links still open in firefox after changing to epiphany in "preferred applications"? [11:34] lianimator: sorry [11:34] bah the fancy command lines for adding the medibuntu GPG key at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu didn't work.. anyone know the old school incantation (where you pipe to gpg and whatnot)? [11:35] estan: pastebin [11:35] bassliner: umm you might need to restart evolution. or something. [11:35] Hey everybody, i have a problem with my Sound System on ubuntu 8.04 can anyone help me? [11:36] Eevee: tried that [11:37] estan: the long thing didn't work? did you get an error message? [11:38] jrib: http://rafb.net/p/7Buayx72.html [11:38] Slart: yea ^ [11:38] Hey everybody, i have a problem with my Sound System on ubuntu 8.04 can anyone help me? [11:38] well, what's the problem? [11:39] Slart: it's in swedish though but the first error there essentially mean "GPG error, signature couldn't be verified because the public key is not available". [11:40] estan: are you running intrepid? [11:40] Callum:the problem is that my ubuntu don't make any sound [11:40] estan: it worked for me on jaunty.. something might have changed in the update process [11:40] Slart: yes, intrepid. [11:41] estan: and it seems to work for you after installing the medibuntu keyring thingy [11:41] estan: there is an error but it's not medibuntu related [11:41] no the key is not installed, and stuff from medibuntu don't show up in aptitude search. [11:42] i'd like to find the old instructions since these don't seem to work for me. [11:42] eventhough the instructions says that that long command should be for any ubuntu release. [11:42] anyone know how i can just fetch the medibuntu key from the net and add it to my keyring with gpg? [11:43] Hey everybody, i have a problem with my Sound System on ubuntu 8.04 can anyone help me? [11:43] bassliner: alas, not sure why that doesn't work. there's always update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [11:44] estan: in english [11:44] what's the best driver for ATIx1950 graphic card? [11:44] Hey everybody, i have a problem with my Sound System on ubuntu 8.04 can anyone help me? [11:44] how can I change the scheduler (cfg/deadline etc), permanently? [11:44] estan: run your commands with LC_ALL=C at the beginning [11:44] jrib: 12:41 < estan> Slart: it's in swedish though but the first error there essentially mean "GPG error, signature couldn't be verified because the public key is not available".

[11:45] cfq i think is used, and its a horror when makin vbox hd images [11:46] jrib: http://rafb.net/p/obM90V52.html [11:46] estan: in any case, looks like it's just some ppa complaining? [11:46] jrib: yes, it's complaining that the key isn't added. [11:46] estan: medibuntu looks fine, you need the gpg key for the ppa you have, not medibuntu [11:46] s/added/there/ [11:47] jrib: hum. ah damn. === Lumpy is now known as Kenny === Kenny is now known as KennyR [11:48] ah because i was searching for "acro" using aptitude search acro to try to find the acrobat reader package that Paddy_EIRE said was in medibuntu, but didn't get a result, so i thought something went wrong when adding the medibuntu packages.. === KennyR is now known as IDOC7846 [11:48] but maybe acrobat reader isn't in medibuntu after all? [11:48] Hey everybody, i have a problem with my Sound System on ubuntu 8.04 can anyone help me? [11:48] estan: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/index.html [11:49] jrib: hm, so it is there. but still it doesn't show up when i do "aptitude search acro".. [11:51] maybe the ppa gpg error prevents apt to update from medibuntu properly.. e.g. aborted before it? [11:51] estan: apt-cache search -n acroread returns nothing? [11:51] jrib: nope. [11:51] damn, stupid evolution still wants to open firefox for links even after apt-get removing them [11:52] s/them/firefox/ [11:52] estan: what arch are you using? [11:52] jrib: but i think i might need to fix the ppa error first (install the ppa keys).. because maybe the cache isn't updated correctly if updating from one of the repos fails? [11:52] jrib: i386. [11:52] bassliner: did you change the default browser? [11:52] estan: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/acroread.html only on amd64 (don't know why) [11:52] th0r: yes.

[11:54] who has libglade0 deb [11:54] who has libglade0 deb [11:54] !ask | abin [11:54] abin: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:54] jrib: ah, (just read that bug). thanks! [11:54] cfq i think is used, and its a horror when makin vbox hd images [11:54] how can I change the scheduler (cfg/deadline etc), permanently? [11:54] hey [11:56] even when i enter x-www-browser in a terminal epiphany opens [11:56] just evolution wouldn't get it [11:56] bassliner: use update-alternatives [11:57] jrib: works fine now. thanks for setting me straight. [11:58] bassliner: where are the links from? [11:58] my file sharing quit working when starting firestarter, anyone know what the problem? and how to solve it, thanks [12:00] jrib: also tried that, evolution still tries to open firefox [12:00] lianimator: what links? [12:00] hi, I'm trying to install 9.04 on a hp laptop and the installer wont run, there is an error: modprobe: FATAL: /lib/modules/kernel-version****/modules.dep doesn't exist [12:00] or something like that [12:00] userek, did you try the Alternate version? [12:01] bassliner: the links you want to open with epiphany [12:01] bassliner: does it work properly outside of evolution? [12:01] estan: no problem [12:01] matreya6: no, what is it? [12:01] how do i find out the UUID of a hard disk or a removable storage? [12:01] !uuid | natrixnatrix89 [12:01] natrixnatrix89: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [12:01] !ubuntu > userek [12:01] userek, please see my private message [12:02] thank's [12:02] works! [12:02] :) [12:03] jrib: yes [12:03] matreya6: it tells me nothing that i don't know... [12:03] lianimator: evolution [12:03] userek, try the option to scan the CD for defects. That way you might find out if something went wrong while burning your image. [12:03] i installed samba and now able to file transfer between my ubuntu and xp PCs over my home network. But along with that i would like to share/read/write a second HDD that is in the Ubuntu machine. so when i mount it and share it it becomes only accessible for root [12:03] #ubuntu-it [12:04] so even though i can see that HDD from my XP machine i can write anything to it [12:04] markupdude what are the folders permissions? [12:04] PS - i share a drive/folder by right clicking on it [12:04] markupdude: did you install swat along with samba? [12:04] hi [12:04] userek, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt <= See how you can download 4 different versions? (32bit desktp/ alternate and AMD64bit Desktop/ Alternae) [12:04] why is ubuntu so slow compared to windows xp? [12:04] koshari1: rwx r-x r-x [12:04] matreya6: alright, i'll see [12:05] are all linux OS like this or are there faster ones? [12:05] so no writing for other users except the root [12:05] koshari1: if i add 'root' as the new user in samba i can write to that hDD, but not a good thing u know [12:05] th0r: swat, no i have not, should i ? [12:05] luke_: I have yet to find a complete desktop OS that boots faster than Jaunty. WinXP takes more than 3x loading time until desktop is displayed on my box. [12:06] markupdude the folder is only selected to let groups and users read that dir, [12:06] I've not found ubuntu to be slower than xp, personally. Matter of fact, it returns work units faster in folding@home than the same machine running XP does. [12:06] Eevee: it was a problem with evince, printed fine in acrobat. thanks for the tip. [12:06] koshari1: i have tried changing permissions and ownership it does let me do so [12:06] hmm i installed jaunty on ext4 [12:06] markupdude: it makes configuring samba a lot easier. I was going to suggest you check the permissions of the shares in swat. [12:06] boot time was fine [12:06] but the desktop feels slow [12:06] not really snappy [12:06] luke__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:06] koshari1: that HDD is formatted as fat [12:07] th0r: ok will do so [12:07] matreya6: though i don't see how the text mode installer would work better ;), i guess its a bug because after searching a bit there are people with the same issue, and they claim their cd's orked on other machines [12:07] Hello. I can't seem to get apache/cgi/perl working, apache serves perl files in cgi-bin as text [12:07] Luke_, perhaps your graphics arent up to par? [12:07] luke_luke_: Try disabling some of the eyecandy, or look for an optimized graphical driver [12:07] anyone here tried to run ubuntu in a vm? [12:07] markupdude what about the mount placeholder? (the foldername its mounted at? [12:07] firefox is horribly slow on ubuntu [12:07] luke__ it flies here [12:07] luke__ but i have a e2220 cpu [12:07] koshari1: ah i was actually chaning permissions of the place holder all the time, that is /media/storage [12:08] luke_: Firefox runs smooth here, on WinXP it takes longer to load. [12:08] the actual drive is /dev/hda5 [12:08] Luke_, I'm not having any of those problems. Did you do an upgrade to your latest version or a new install? [12:08] markupdude there will be no permissians on the fat drive [12:08] koshari1: should i change the actual thing's permission/ownership [12:08] humm [12:08] i should try that [12:08] why do i get such cr@p speeds on bit torrents [12:08] but in windows its fine! [12:09] markupdude i think you should unmount the drive, chmod the mountpoint them mount it again [12:09] userek, In that case the "bug" is tied to some aspect of your hardware. It runs (and installs) great on my box [12:09] Good morning. I'm using the latest LiveCD installer (9.04 Desktop) and I'd like to use an expert installer. How do I do that? [12:09] new install [12:09] Sebboh, the Alternate version should give you all the options you want [12:09] does anybody use FluxBox????? [12:09] markupdude test the permissians by writing to the folder ar a user rather than root [12:09] please i need some help with IRSSI [12:10] harlemdavvey, Yes, I do, on my old P3-laptop, why? [12:10] thats the best thing to do, Luke_ . ive never had any problems when i do a fresh install. all problems ive encountered have always come from upgrading a distro. [12:10] matreya6: i absolutely need some help.. i cannot use it!:) [12:10] harlemdavvey: #irssi? [12:10] matreya6: so you say that if it works on your computer and doesn't on someone's else its not a bug? [12:10] /nick bittin [12:10] harlemdavvey, did you try reading the manpages on the program? [12:10] I'm just wondering.. If I have a partition with win and another partition with ubuntu. When I want to reinstall win - wouldn't it break the grub bootloader and would I loose ability to log on ubuntu? [12:11] guys none is answering there on the channel.. [12:11] natrixnatrix89, Yes, it would === settimio80 is now known as ubuntuwin [12:11] is there a solution? [12:11] !patience > harlemdavvey [12:11] harlemdavvey, please see my private message [12:11] its not the hardware that is buggy, its the software [12:11] matreya6: is there a solution? === IDOC-7846 is now known as IDOC-7846_ [12:12] natrixnatrix89, yes, you can just reinstall grub through a Live CD. [12:12] I screwed my graphics up and now when i boot it just flickers and the screen is filled with lines, before freezing. I wanted to reset the graphics to like new [12:12] natrixnatrix89 you would jusr re-run grub from the live cd [12:12] m3dlg, try booting from a live CD and fix your config files from there [12:13] matreya6: and the ext3 filesystem would just work fine? thanks... cool! :) [12:13] !it [12:13] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [12:13] are ultimate edition dead? [12:13] Anyone to write articles (for free, for Ubuntu OS, for a website) about game reviews? Thanks in advance. [12:13] natrixnatrix89, Of course it would, Ext3 is very stable. [12:13] sabayonweb_ its called superOS now [12:13] matreya6: thanks for info! ;) [12:13] whats the min spec pc you can run a vps on [12:14] jorgerosa, happypenguin is a treasure trove when it comes to game reveiws [12:14] true [12:14] matreya6: i have the recovery option during boot and this looks like it's going to work, but i was finding my ati setting would not save and would default to single screen in clone mode (duelhead) everytime i rebooted. [12:14] koshari1: cant find it [12:15] matreya6: But its something (somehow) different [12:16] jorgerosa, I don't see why we would need a game review specially geared towards a specific distro, like Ubuntu. But if you are trying to "sell" Ubuntu to gamers, than you'd have to investigate what appeals to your public , before writing a raging review about marvels like Globulation 2, Battle for Wesnoth and games like Fish Fillets (all great games) [12:17] sabayonweb_75208 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SF007/Super_Ubuntu [12:17] Battle for Wesnoth - epic [12:17] m3dlg, did yu get an error message while trying to save your ATI settings? [12:18] matreya6: like i said, its a bit different, and "game reviews" is only one section. We will have many more. [12:18] koshari1: that looked, well boring... wanted to check out the design in ultimate :-P' [12:18] matreya6: zack jorgerosa: #ubuntu-gaming is dedicated to ubuntu gaming matters, if you want to join there [12:18] hm, this really seems bugged, even completely reconfiguring evolution didn't help === eugen is now known as Guest66987 [12:18] m3dlg, many config files are only writable as root, so using sudo when editing them might help ;-) [12:18] notguest: wow, i dunno that. Thanks, ill give a try :D [12:19] sabayonweb its just a dizzy wiff a lot more packages on the disc by default [12:19] sabayonweb what are you actually looking ofr? [12:19] for? [12:19] all [12:20] irc.worldne.net [12:20] #maxecurity [12:20] irc.worldnet.net * [12:20] http://maxecurity.Free.fr [12:20] koshari1: im using ubuntu right now on my own computer, wanted to try ultimate edition and sabayon [12:20] matreya6: no, i was finding that i would have to reset my setting on each boot. I used the same option i was recommended for a similar issue on this compouter (a netboot) the command was ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and this worked on the netbook, but has just made my pc worse [12:21] I suspected my issue was read/write permmissions - but not untill i had screwed it up [12:21] the fix xorg thing in recovery didn't work either [12:21] sabayonweb well the user experiance for super os (prev known as ultimate) will be no diff to you installing all the packages yourself, as for sabyon go for it [12:22] matreya6, I see. ..Uh, is there no way I can at least select which packages I want to install, on 9.04 Desktop installer? [12:22] guys any here could tell me how to install xen on ubuntu jaunty server edition? [12:22] koshari1: sucks, as soon as i mount the drive the mount point becomes rwx r-x r-x again :( and i reverts back to root user even though i changed ownership to a non-root onr [12:22] :-D [12:23] markupdude did you mount it with read write switches in the fstab entry? [12:23] koshari1: just to confirm i can use other non-root user home folders, so this is [12:23] Sebboh, I don't believe there is a way when it has started, but there might be a startup option to have everything installed manually, with all options open...Try looking at the install option in the first menu... [12:24] koshari1: i have this in fdtab to mount it on start /dev/sda5 /media/storage vfat users 0 0 [12:24] should that users part be something else [12:24] hi [12:24] markupdude add the rw switch to mount it read/write. [12:25] like /dev/sda5 /media/storage vfat users rw 0 0 ? [12:25] or ..... rw users .... [12:26] m3dlg, Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? [12:26] matreya6, there isn't an option like that available via a menu, although I wonder if I can manually type something in.. Oh well, I'll just download the alternate installer. ..I just read that the regular installer CD doesn't offer ext4 filesystems, either. [12:26] matreya6: i'll get back to you when i've made a bootable flashdrive and try to recover it [12:26] can any experienced person help me in installing windows after i ve installed ubuntu???? [12:26] markupdude: I think there should be a comma 'rw,users' [12:26] matreya6: upgrade [12:26] th0r: ah right [12:27] ping: unknown host... anyone has a solution for me? [12:27] but this feels good, to be able to share files between my both PC [12:27] i see linux actually expands my knowledge [12:27] bubba: use a good IP address or web address [12:27] i used google [12:28] m3dlg, Some of these problems can be caused by conflicting settings from old versions. Is your display only unreadable under X, or is the regular console unreadable as well? [12:28] ping http://www.google.com [12:28] anyone that can recomend me a program for ubuntu as DAEMON tools would work in windows? [12:28] bubba: nope....you can't ping the http....try ping google.com [12:29] hi all [12:29] let me see [12:29] shashwatpns, Do you have some unpartitioned space left on your HDD? Otherwise you need to create some using gparted. [12:29] matreya6: it works until the loading logo has reached the end and the screen changes to the desktop, [12:29] BurningSebra, Yes, I use GCDEmu [12:30] it says 64bytes... and now its just looping. cant even stop it [12:30] matreaya6: im gonna take a look, thx [12:30] markupdude heres an example /dev/sda3 /mnt/WindowsFAT32 vfat quiet,defaults,rw 0 0 [12:30] m3dlg, In that case you can solve the problem in console mode, just drop to a terminal using Ctrl + Alt + F2 or so. [12:30] tryed that, but i'll try another reboot then let you know [12:31] i can get into consol via recovery and select consol with networking [12:31] m3dlg, did you try to update your box after you have installed everything? Updates can go a long way in this. [12:31] thOr.. any thoughts? [12:32] the update was done after about 6 months of normal usage and was ok before (had some minor issues with graphics but nothing too serious) [12:33] halo semua nya :D [12:34] metreya6 : yes i do have [12:34] bubba: type control-C to stop it [12:34] I'm trying to remove a mount from the places menu with little success. [12:34] matreya6: should i try the 'netroot recovery option? [12:34] BurningSebra, check out this pastebin to see what packages to use (output of apt-search cdemu on my box): http://www.pastebin.ca/1418180 [12:35] bubba: then type 'man ping' to learn how to use ping [12:35] good man [12:35] matreya6: not in repositories. im very new to ubuntu. if you could help me nistalling it i would apreciate it alot. [12:36] how to force rebooting on jaunty? [12:36] i used reboot it seems not working [12:36] sudo shutdown NOW [12:36] i think [12:37] koshari1: umm tried using those fstab read write options, even after reboot no :( [12:37] dumb_dumb, init 0 [12:37] HttpError: it is shutdown -r to force a reboot [12:37] dumb_dumb, that will shutdown though, not reboot [12:37] ah [12:37] ty th0r [12:37] i need to reboot the machine since not to poweroff [12:37] markupdude sorry mate beats me ? [12:37] BurningSebra, did you enable all repositories (not only the Canonical supported ones)? You can also allow backports in your software sources through synaptic. That should give you access to the 8.10 package if it has been backported to Jaunty yet. [12:38] does a static ip address need to be configured both in the box and cable modem? I have my router configured with my static address and the box left with dhcp. Is that how it should be? [12:38] dumb_dumb: in a terminal type 'shutdown -r now' and it should reboot the computer [12:38] dumb_dumb: that is 'sudo shutdown -r now' [12:38] bubba, that is usually fine. [12:39] the system is going to reboot [12:39] usually meaning sometimes something can happen? [12:39] Severian, bubba, a box with dhcp could be problematic when you want to run servers on your box through NAT. [12:39] but i still can connect to the box [12:40] thats what i figured. So should I configure em both with the static address or do the box and leave the modem dchp [12:40] koshari1: no worries, as last resort i might have to use root user, no harm though, its only me as the user.. btw what to i type to check currently mounted stuffs [12:40] has anyone here installed windows after ubuntu if u have please guide me [12:40] matreya6, yep. I did say usually. If the router is going to need to forward traffic to your box that is initiated from outside, a static IP may be needed. But, most people don't do that. [12:40] matreya6: i se the names, but where do i find these packages? synaptic package manager does not find the packages [12:41] Hello, I don't know what I am doing wrong, I have install joomla on my hosting server http://www.wamphi.com/pairjobs the script run correctly there, but when I run the same script on my local PC using Ubuntu, php5.2 I have fatal error, undefined functions. I even switch register global on. but later turned it back off. what do need to install or configure to solve this issue? [12:41] shashwatpns: you will lose grub if you reinstall windows AFTER linux. There is a way to reinstall grub, but it isn't easy [12:41] BurningSebra, did you try reloading the repository in Synaptic after you have added the backports option? [12:41] any idea how can this thing not rebooting [12:41] ok thanks === HttpError is now known as |403Forbidden| [12:43] how do i check currently mounted drives? [12:43] th0r: im havin probs while installing windows [12:43] markupdude: mount [12:43] matreya6: just did and i do the search on names and descriptions and nothing comes up on libmirage1 [12:43] markupdude:df -h [12:43] dumb_dumb, If you are onsite next to the box you can try a "sudo shutdown -h now" instead, if you are connecting remotely, *don't do this!* [12:43] shashwatpns: you will lose linux if you install windows after linux [12:44] th0r: ill reinstall it [12:44] anyone have idea about my situation please? [12:44] is here anyone awake using ubuntustudio? seems like the ubuntustudio irc-channel has died. I'm having problem with seq24, it doesn't let me do a new midi-sequence. [12:44] does anyone know how to change the font in Google Earth's menu bars? I found how to change the font sizes on the map itself, but the menu bars and tabs just cross your eyes up! [12:44] BurningSebra, libmirage1, is not the most important thing, it is just an option with cdemu. Please keep in mind that this *is Beta* software, until it has worked without a hitch for me [12:44] if i format my second hdd as ext3 i won't able to edit/write to it from windows via samba right? [12:45] matreya6: gonna check out the toher stuff, thx so far :) [12:45] markupdude: you should be able to write to an ext3 drive via samba from anything [12:46] markupdude, No problem doing that, actually. [12:46] BurningSebra, here's the homepage for cdemu: http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/ [12:46] th0r: ah! then i might expect my permission problems solved? [12:46] matreya6: i'm just downloading the iso of ubuntu so i can make a bootable drive to use a gui - i cant handle the console too much at the moment [12:46] oh btw i used gparted to partitio my extra HDD, first made the unpartitioned space as a secondary drive, it became hda1, and a hda5 came up, i made that sda5 as a logical fat partition, did i do it right? [12:47] markupdude, I don't know the problem, so I won't comment. [12:47] or else i can redo it like delete everything, make the entire drive a primary partiton ext3 [12:47] tor0: can you help me [12:47] BurningSebra, here's the Ubuntu repositories (keep in mind that the 64-bits version is not supported yet, allthough I *do* run it) :http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/ [12:47] shashwatpns: you will have to find a windows irc channel for help reinstalling window [12:47] Severian: i am not able to write to that extra hdd from my windows XP, i set permissions via fstab, but it rverts back to unwritable by non-root user as soon as i share it via samba [12:48] Severian: if i made sense [12:48] BurningSebra, sorry, last link should have been: https://launchpad.net/~cdemu/+archive/ppa [12:48] markupdude: that sounds like a permissions issue in samba, not in the os [12:48] th0r: humm... so how do i? [12:49] markupdude: I used to share a vfat drive on a linux machine via samba, so I know it can be done [12:49] should adding it like a share in smb.conf helo [12:49] i tried that also, i can try again with right parameters [12:49] m3dlg, I'am sorry to say this, but if you have problems using X due to a faulty graphics driver, the console, or terminal is essential to fix it. [12:49] markupdude: yes, you add it as a share in samba. I have used swat to configure samba since I first found swat....so I can't help much with the conf file directly [12:50] th0r: ah then i have swat installed let me see [12:50] markupdude, not really. The setup you describe is common. People mount filesystems on Linux, share them with Samba and write to them from Windows all the time. I use to do it when I had Windows here. I used XFS and not ext3, but that is not an important distinction. [12:51] hey everyone [12:51] Cantcme, hello what do you want to know? [12:51] well, im having a little problem [12:51] th0r: ah i am stupid where do i find swat now that i have it installed :P [12:51] new ubuntu user [12:52] markupdude: it is accessed as a web page....localhost:901 [12:52] markupdude, in synaptic, you can see every file that a package has installed for you. [12:52] Cantcme: ask your ? [12:52] markupdude, http://localhost:901 [12:52] i updated my alsa to version 1.0.20 from 1.0.18, everything was fine, then i updated OSS to 4.1 and i have no sound now :( [12:53] Cantcme, OSS is quite outdated, you can configure your Ubuntu to use ALSA instead. [12:54] i went to system -> preferences -> sound and chose ALSA for everything and it still doesn't work [12:54] and aplay -l gives aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found... [12:55] Cantcme, what is the output of lspci | grep -i audio? [12:55] matreya6: i was hoping to swap the settings file with the old back-up while in a live disk [12:55] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller [12:55] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series] [12:55] Cantcme: this might help....http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [12:56] m3dlg, that could work if the settings correspond to the driver you have installed. [12:57] Severian: i see the SWAT page now, but what do i can confugre here, i see all documentations here [12:57] when i screwed it up it did back up the old file and appended the date to it [12:58] Cantcme, managing 2 soundcards is finnicky in ubuntu and in Linux in general. The link that th0r gave you seems like a good point to start... [12:58] ive pretty much done all that from that link [12:58] but i only wany the Intel sound card to work, i dont want the sound from my graphics card [12:58] markupdude: you can only configure samba via swat if you are logged into swat as root. Unfortunately I can't tell you how to do that here [12:59] markupdude, I don't use swat. I can't help you much there. I just edit the config file directly. /etc/samba/smb.conf [12:59] i have a disk with a partition of 150Gb in ext3, another partition of 3Gb in linux-swap and 100Gb unallocated. if i install windows, it will format just that space unallocated or it will erase and format all the disk? [12:59] m3dlg, try to copy the file with the date appended to it to the config file ehere thing are in a jumble. [12:59] i think the problem lies here [12:59] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller [12:59] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 82fe [12:59] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 [12:59] Memory at fe7f8000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] [12:59] Cantcme: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:59] Capabilities: [12:59] markupdude:need some help with smb.conf? [12:59] m3dlg, sorry about the last chars:, should be: "where things are in a jumble" [13:00] i have, before install windows, format that unallocated space to ntfs? and just then install windows? [13:00] sorry about flood [13:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/168716/ [13:00] wait, I have to move the slider to the left to give ubuntu space? [13:00] I totally don't get the partitioner [13:00] see how it says kernel drive in use: oss_hdaudio, shouldnt that be something else? [13:01] Barbarella: ah yes please :) [13:01] that was lspci -v [13:01] so far i have my home folders shared [13:01] what do you want to share [13:01] now just need to add my /dev/hda5 as a share Barbarella [13:01] Hi all,... what is the sed command, to remove the first 5 letters, if string begins with 0-9 ? [13:01] Cantcme, it still seems to use OSS: Kernel driver in use: oss_hdaudio [13:01] markupdude:ok [13:01] so should i give the original path or the mount point Barbarella [13:01] matreya6: ok will try that, i'll obviously try to back up the duff one to to examine after [13:02] matreya6, yeh is that the problem? shouldn't it be the ALSA driver or something thats in use? [13:02] m3dlg, sounds like a smart thing to do :-) [13:02] if I want to install ubuntu, how should / and swap be? logical or primary? [13:02] and should I take start or end of partition? (is that left/right alignment on the table?) [13:02] Cantcme, some old programs still use OSS. I think ALSA has some kind of bridge for it, can't remember the name though :-( [13:03] yeh i install the alsa-oss wrapper [13:03] also when i run alsa-mixer there are no controls in it [13:04] Fzang, logical is usually the most flexible option, End of partition is mostly the best choice for maintaining compatibility with older Windows versions [13:04] Cantcme, That means there are no audio devices that also controls. [13:04] matreya6: i will stay here while i do this, i just wanted to say i appreciate your help, very kind and a big thank you, i also understand and appreciate you are busy helping others too, and all this unpaid. it's a really kind thing to do, i also have help others with things i have learned as a part of my own development in linux when there was no-one else able to help. i am ultamately still a noobie here. [13:04] Severian, how can i change that? [13:04] kick me! [13:05] kick me! [13:05] bluetooth-wizard never shows any devices; hcitool from the commandline does. Nautilus no longer allows me to connect to my bluetooth devices with obex://[address] How can I use a GUI to browse and retrieve files? [13:05] kick me! [13:05] kick me! [13:05] Guest27062: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:05] matreya6: where is the video setting file? i cant remember! :) [13:06] /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [13:06] Cantcme, did you try both "alsamixer -c0" and "alsamixer -c1" ? One of these commands should give you some sliders. That way you know which Audio card ALSA picks as default one. [13:06] Cantcme, I don't have a quick answer for you. Basically, you need to load drivers so alsa can control your audio. [13:06] thanks cantcme [13:06] <_spektre> how do I start gnome-session in another language without gdm? [13:06] hey, can anyone tell me if ubuntu plans to have a release with a freebsd kernel like debian? [13:07] I'm going to be reinstalling ubuntu soon. Is it wise to go with ext4? [13:07] matreya6, those commands didnt work [13:07] mischief6: not likely in the overviewable future I don't think. [13:07] Severian, i tried modprobe snd-hda-intel and it doesnt work [13:08] m3dlg, try this link: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/02/04/get-to-know-linux-understanding-xorgconf/ [13:08] m3dlg, You can find out where xorg.conf is by usiing locate xorg.conf [13:09] can somebody tell me what handles fan control for laptops? [13:09] it isnt acpi, because the foldersunder proc are empty [13:09] Hi, I've just connected my phone through the usb port, but the software (moto4lin) can't find the device. Is there a command I could use to find the path for the device linked with my phone in the system? [13:09] Alexia_Death, possibly APM [13:10] matreya6: i have it, but i need to get root permission to alter it, and i am using mint linux live as my ubuntu disk would not run (i also needed to do this from a portable dvdreader too!!) my bios refused to see anyother disks for some reason [13:10] znh: its a laptop [13:10] m3dlg, sudo -i for root [13:10] w/ 35 [13:10] no [13:10] aar: open a terminal, type 'tail -f /var/log/messages' then plug in the phone. You should see the mount point for the device show up as the system recognizes it [13:10] Alexia_Death, yeah.. you made that clear a few sec ago too [13:11] m3dlg, try to edit it as root using sudo or the method suggested by the Mint Live CD. I have no experience using Mint [13:11] and after some recent update the fans are not spun up enaugh enay mor [13:11] the laptop overheats and shuts down. [13:11] it feels muchg like ubuntu, nice touch in the file menu it has open folder as root option and the folder turns red to warn u [13:11] Cantme, sound has always worked fine for me on Ubuntu, except for a few systems where I had to add a module with modprobe. I don't know what else to suggest. If it was me, I would probably try installing Fedora or Puppy linux and seeing if sound worked. Once I saw if they did any special configuration, I would reinstall Ubuntu and see if I could do the same thing here. There may be simpler solutions, but I am not familiar with [13:11] them. [13:12] th0r, this is what i get: usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 14 [13:12] m3dlg, just like in good old Suse 6.4 :-) [13:12] Severian, my sound was working perfectly untill i updated OSS to 4.1 [13:12] th0r, cdc_acm 4-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device [13:12] i actually liked what i saw [13:12] aar: the device is mapped as ttyACM0 [13:12] just booting now, and i'll have to alter my settings manually [13:12] as root to fix the original problem, :) [13:12] Cantcme, in that case, why don't you just rollback to the previous OSS version? [13:13] th0r, so this should be the path: /dev/ttyACM0 ? [13:13] aar: I think that will work...I am not familiar with mot4lin [13:13] th0r, I'll try that, thanks [13:13] matreya6, hmm good point lol, is there an easy to way to do it or should i just install the older version from synaptic [13:14] Cantcme, synaptic would be the safest way to do this ;-) [13:14] th0r, excellent -- it works! [13:14] thanks for all the help matreya6 and Severian [13:14] Cantme, you probably have to uninstall the new version, then reinstall the old version. [13:14] Cantcme, don't mention it, have nice sound carpet ;-) === desti_T2 is now known as desti [13:15] Cantme, the biggest problem will be dependancies. Make a not of anything being removed when you reinstall the new OSS, so you can put them back. [13:15] matreya6, :-/ lag in IRC... Well, spelling errors are not too bad if you can still understand each other. [13:16] here is a typical ubuntu user in all their glory http://glitchtown.com/comics/2009-03-20.png [13:16] yeh i know when ALSA gets remove it removes gdm too [13:17] how to use the i810 driver instead of intel in 9.04? [13:17] matreya6: it didn't work, i have to help the missis for a few minutes, i'll be back with a mug of tea and a clear head and i'll give it another go, [13:17] Cantme, I hope nothing like gnome gets removed. Don't let it take out too much. [13:17] m3dlg, good luck (and give a kiss to your missis ;-) ) [13:17] lol [13:18] Severian, matreya6, btw this is the reason that i updated OSS http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7243609#post7243609 [13:19] Cantme, OK, so you wanted no sound. [13:19] na basically ALSA made counter strike source crash, and the old OSS drivers didnt provide any sound [13:20] Cantcme, ah, CounterStrike, well...it's alway risky to install programs, *but especially driver versions* not endorsed by the distro. [13:20] so i decided to update OSS, i can get sound in counter strike now with OSS but its all crackled and stuff, and nothing else has sound [13:20] Cantme, the thread does not show that the new OSS made the sound come back. But, you may know that from some other source. [13:20] i posted that thread :P [13:20] Cantcme, crackled eh? Did you try a killall Pulseaudio? [13:21] Cantcme: Have you tried re-installed ALSA and then restarting? [13:21] Cantme, Well, good luck. [13:21] haven't tried kill pulseaudion [13:21] and vertagano, only about 5 times lol [13:21] thanks :P [13:21] Hello! I've some problems with netbook remix: When switching the desktop mode from "classical desktop" to "Ubuntu-Netbook-Desktop" the GNOME panels remain displayed and are layed over the "netbook interface". How to fix that? [13:22] Cantcme, Pulseaudio can interfere with a lot, although it does have it's perks when installed and configured properly. === [DaRK-SkG] is now known as [SkG] [13:22] Cantcme: When you restart ALSA ( sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart ) do you receive any error messages? [13:22] vertagano, ALSA restart hasn't worked in years... [13:22] na no errors [13:23] matreya6: That's odd...it's always worked fine for me. [13:24] Hi guys [13:24] vertagano, maybe because I upgraded instead of a clean install... [13:24] I just installed ubuntu and I need some help :) [13:24] QueenInfamous, just ask your question please [13:24] ah great :) [13:24] i'm trying to install my nvidia driver [13:24] but it's says something about an X file [13:24] why i cant open a picture on http://localhost ? [13:24] You don't have permission to access /home.jpg on this server. [13:24] has anyone used the notebook mix in 9.04 ? [13:24] QueenInfamous, use the Hardware Drivers under the system menu === edsoncanto is now known as ecanto [13:25] Cantcme: And in System -> Preferences -> Sounds, you've selected ALSA for everything? [13:25] vertagano, yep [13:25] matreya6: is that under the Preferences or administrator menu? [13:25] I'm going to be reinstalling ubuntu soon. Is it wise to go with ext4? [13:25] although when i run sudo alsa force-reload i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/168727/ [13:25] Hi. I tried to resize my root partition. After rebooting, 'df -h' shows no difference. gparted lists the partition as larger but there's no more space available. fsck.ext3 reports one large file. but i can't find one using 'find /media/sda2/ -size +2G -ls'. debugfs shows 'Size: 4299210752' when running 'stat <7>' (the resize inode). Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? [13:25] ciao [13:25] QueenInfamous, That would be Administrator. [13:25] !list [13:25] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [13:26] thanks! [13:26] where can i find the GPODDER config file/podcast register - need it for a manually backup - tnx [13:26] Hello there. is there an easy way of changing the currently used ubuntu mirrors via command-line? I'm on 9.04. [13:26] why i cant open a picture on http://localhost ? You don't have permission to access /home.jpg on this server. [13:27] anyone got the prob with deluge ppa? [13:28] QueenInfamous, if you need to run a visual program as root, just edit the menu entry under Pereferences and prefix gksudo to it. Remember that you will have escalated rights from that moment, so don't delete/ overwrite anything you don't want to delete ;-) [13:30] how can i backup the GPODDER podcast register manually? [13:30] vero [13:30] !rights > pIsIq, [13:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about rights [13:30] Bonjour, quelqu'un peut-il me dire comment lire des fichiers pps avec ubuntu [13:30] lol [13:30] !fr | vero [13:30] vero: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[13:32] Cantcme: What does ` aplay -l ` give you? [13:33] aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found... === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [13:33] can i get back the old look of ubuntu (i'm using the notebook remix.. but this kinda sux :/ ) ?? [13:34] Cantcme: How about ` sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel ` [13:34] How would one add a user to admin groutp in the terminal? [13:34] chazco: i think you can just create a notification that will appear within the taskbar notification area. [13:34] eni, you can choose any theme you want. Gnome is quite configurable [13:34] bassliner - Ah okay, was hoping to add more options to it [13:34] matreya6, there is no normal gnome in the notebook-remix of 9.04 [13:34] vertagano, http://paste.ubuntu.com/168736/ [13:35] matreya6, have you used it ? [13:35] How can I customize and add more effects to my desktop?

You can just install the package ubuntu-desktop, but it brings a sh*tload of other packages with it. [13:36] system->preferences-> special effects === omucuvaca is now known as sickcows [13:36] system->preferences-> appearance->special effects [13:36] hehe [13:36] matreya6, nice desktop ? wtf... ok, i'll just install ubuntu-desktop i think. [13:37] xfce is awesome. [13:37] matreya6: , you have any ideas? XDD [13:37] tho there are some changes coming with 4.6 that could be a pain in the ass for a newbie. [13:37] bassline :thanks alot.Is their a tutorial about that? [13:38] eni, I meant to say that I like XFCE as a lean and clean desktop environment. Though you might try IceWM if you want speed and don't mind über-ugly themes >:-) [13:38] Cantcme: What do you get from ` groups ` [13:38] vertagano, sumsha adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [13:38] slt ya kelkun? [13:38] Cantcme: Try joining the audio group; usermod -a -G audio [13:38] matreya6: are you sure icewm is more performant than xfce? :) [13:38] matreya6, right now i'm on fluxbox, (and i've always used fluxbox), but anyways this is not running super-fast. (i think 9.04 doesnt support ATI) [13:39] QueenInfamous, sorry, I'am not into eyecandy myself, so I have never investigated it. [13:39] Cantcme: Then log out and log back in. [13:39] gee [13:39] vertagano, thanks, brb ill logout and come back in here [13:39] sus [13:39] i managed to install 8.10 instead but the network manager is driving me nuts [13:39] je recherhce de l aide par des francais ci possible [13:39] eni, that would be a very bold statement to make, usually driver dependenies lie upstream, tied to the Xorg version rather than the distro [13:40] userek: I'm with you there. I always remove the network manager. [13:40] userek:what do you mean? [13:40] How can I forceclose a program? [13:40] matreya6, well i read somewhere that my 9.04 wont work with my graphic card so :( !! [13:40] i'm unable to configure wired network because it always uses some kind of automatic dhcp connection [13:40] userek: on a cable connected box, i would probably just not use it [13:40] QueenInfamous: ` sudo killall ` will kill all programs with that name. [13:40] bassliner, IceWM does have smaller memory footprint, but sadly I couldn't find any theme for it that didn't hurt my eyes. [13:40] hello, i ` m having problems with an old pinnacle tv card and tvtime, computer is freezing after (immediately until several minutes). using ubuntu . can anyone help? [13:41] QueenInfamous: pkill program, killall program, if you REALLY want to cut it's throat: killall -9 program [13:41] (when i start tvtime) [13:41] matreya6: hehe [13:41] QueenInfamous:you got to get some light tut,think you are new.Check a PM i sent you [13:41] matreya6: yeh, icewm themes suck. [13:41] i've added new connection and removed 'auto eth0' but there is no my connection on the list when i click on it in the taskbar [13:41] I just installed Jaunty on my laptop yesterday, and it was working fine, and now it's cascading failures everywhere. For example, when I log in, I get GNOME + sawfish (my preference), but... [13:42] matreya6: the thing i really find aesthetically beautiful is fluxbox with 2 custom styles i made [13:42] salve a tutti [13:42] ... my font sizes are HUGE, until I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and CHANGE NOTHING... they just "fix themselves" [13:42] !list [13:42] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [13:42] QueenInfamous: I think this might be what you want for the desktop effects stuff: apt://compizconfig-settings-manager it will add a new entry to System-->Preferences [13:42] QueenInfamous:their is a panel aplet that can do that well or you can use the terminal [13:42] matreya6: http://arje.de/fluxbox.png [13:42] bassliner, I'm tempted to design a good theme for it myself, as I do like the general concept of IceWM as an easy transition from Windows for senior (read: geriatric) users [13:42] stom connection [13:42] vertagano, sound still doesn't work :( [13:42] *there is no my custom connection, any ideas why? [13:43] Wireless is a lost-cause with Jaunty, I have to log in, then it connects to my WAP, then I have to edit /etc/resolv.conf by hand and remove the invalid IPs it puts in, put in the right gateway, and then do a 'route del default && route add default gw 10.0.1.1' [13:43] QueenInfamous: you can break stuff in that compiz config app, so be careful [13:43] How to downgrade from 9.04 to 8.10? [13:43] matreya6: this should be no reason at all. try to get used to something but forget damn windows. [13:43] That gets wireless up, but that's broken too, because wifi only works when I'm logged in as a user. That's retarded. If I log out, the connection goes away. Why? [13:43] guja: why do you want to downgrade? i'm going to do the oposite actually ;) [13:43] setuid: because network manager is retarded. [13:43] bassliner, I do like fluxbox, it's very techy and blazingly fast even on my old P3 lappy. :-D [13:43] Shouldn't this be a no-brainer? [13:44] setuid: if you want to avoid that, make your changes to the network settings from the commandline and know your toys. [13:44] it should. [13:44] bassliner, Right, so why does nm continue to put garbage IPs and routes into the config when it connects to my WAP? [13:44] userek: xf86-video-intel has bugs with qt apps in 9.04. Worked fine in 8.10. With kde, eveything is qt related. That's why. [13:44] Cantcme: STill no devices on aplay -l [13:44] matreya6: i indeed love performant things. [13:44] TVTIME FREEZING PROBLEM. Can anyone help? [13:44] yeh same error as before, no soundcards [13:44] setuid: no idea [13:44] i see, fortuneatly i've ati onboard card ;) [13:44] hmm [13:45] The "locale" problem has been in Ubuntu for at least 5 years. Has nobody really solved that yet? That's nuts! [13:45] Cantcme: How about ` sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel `; it still give you the same error? [13:45] bassliner, about the last comment about "forget that damn Windows', that's a bit brusque when talking to a venerable 90-year old who has started using computers when he was 72(!) [13:45] setuid: well networkmanager just uses dhcp, if you tive out garbage settings via dhcp it will use them. [13:45] Can someone offer me a good music/video player for ubuntu? :/ [13:45] vertagano, yep :( [13:45] since i'm totally new right now [13:45] matreya6: i doubt you're 90 right :) [13:45] bassliner: how to make it NOT use dhcp, because i'm kinda unable to! [13:46] bassliner, nm ignores anything I put in the applet. I've defined my NIC as static, with correct routes, dns, etc. and it puts shit in there anyway. Where it gets it, I have no idea. [13:46] userek: you can define a static ip for a wlan profile i bet in network manager [13:46] Anyone knows how to downgrade from 9.04 to 8.10? [13:46] setuid: hmmm... [13:46] i stopped using network manager. Any one did the same? [13:46] QueenInfamous: I like xine and vlc apt://xine-ui and vlc apt://vlc [13:47] basliner, I am not 90 but my grandpa is...The only way to get him to abandon Windows is to provide him with a smooth transition. He is already using Firefox and Thunderbird, but he still uses Word. I have great respect for him that he has managed to learn it at his age and overall he is doing remarkably well. [13:47] anyone can gimme a pointer or an url to how I can stream movies and music from my ubuntu on my xbox ? [13:47] When I edit the wifi connection in the applet, for example to set the "Enable for all users" option, the "Apply" button goes from green to one with two keys on it, and I can click it, but it does nothing. I can't save those prefs. [13:47] fornix_: shitload of ppl have burned it [13:47] Dealer, tried tversity through wine? [13:47] fornix_: because they're unsatisfied with the way it works [13:47] Cantcme, no, only tryed google so far;) but thanks, I'll look in to it =) [13:47] The whole nm thing is a joke... it shouldn't be this hard. I shouldn't have to set my connection in there, then let it do its dance, and then UNDO most of that from the shell, manually, every time I log in. [13:48] oh. thank god i am not the only one. i was feeling guilty [13:48] Hi. I need to change my keyboard settings so I can use the at sign, and stuff like that onder the 1234.. numbers.. by using ctrl alt.. can someone help me? Dunno how to manage it. azerty keyboard btw [13:48] Dealer: http://ushare.geexbox.org/ [13:48] fornix_, here's another one with two NIC's that removed Network Manager. Autoconfiguration drove me crazy, because it created hindrances instead of a smooth "just works" config. [13:49] tuzakey, thanks. [13:49] Dealer: I haven't been able to make ushare stream my music library correctly, I have some other java based DLNA app for that (can't remember the name of it off hand and its on a different computer) [13:50] matreya6, X Server 1.6 support, Ubuntu 9.04 support. Dropped support for older GPUs (R300 to R500). source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fglrx [13:50] Bman, you can configre dead keys at "layout options" from Preferences => Keyboard [13:50] now i can say ubuntu does suck. [13:50] tuzakey, mainly movies I wanna stream, music I got Spotify for, and got direct connection to amplefyer ;) [13:50] Dealer: ushare is packaged in ubuntu universe [13:51] goddamnit [13:51] Why, after 5+ years, can't Ubuntu figure out how to properly configure and maintain wireless settings?! [13:51] Dealer: ushare works great for video, just remember to pass the xbox command line option [13:51] matreya6, and what do i have to do there to make ctrl alt work fine with that at sign and the other? cause already looked there.. [13:51] eni, don't take it out on Ubuntu, just install a backport. But hey, if you don't like Ubuntu nobody will kill you over that, just choose a distro that suits your needs [13:51] This is ridiculous [13:51] I've spent over 4 days on this one broken aspect of the distro alone [13:51] guys [13:51] - [13:51] tuzakey, thanks ;) [13:51] setuid_: do you have a support question? If so please just ask it. Otherwise, feel free to contribute.... [13:51] matreya6, i've used ubuntu for years now, i just dont like the 'wont support your card anymore' just like that. [13:52] Any idea how can I make my main icons down on the dekstop like at this screen right here http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/608/screenshothqv.png ? [13:52] jrib, My support questions are above... [13:52] setuid_: That's fine. Note the word "just" [13:52] jrib, wireless is broken, nm-applet is useless, settings are applied incorrectly/ignored, and it's tremendously unstable/fragile, once set. [13:52] Hey ppl! [13:53] jrib, I'm all ears, but I've been over this a thousand times in the last 4 days. Wireless and Ubuntu do not get along, using the default tools. [13:53] eni, Sometimes a distro has to make compromises, managing effort and choosing priorities. Unfortunately you card lucked out. But that doesn't mean you can't install drivers manually. It's just a bigger hassle [13:53] setuid_: that's fine. But this is a support channel. So take the rants elsewhere please. You make it harder for everyone else to get help [13:53] ive got a problem with my audio configuration.. i just get one channel.. (stereo only left :( ) , so how can i "reset " my audio config [13:53] can someone help me with this ? :-) [13:54] matreya6, :( can you give me a hint how to install that manually? [13:54] !patience | pauwels_ [13:54] pauwels_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [13:54] jrib, Ok, I'll phrase my problems in the form of a question: How do I correctly configure wireless networking in Ubuntu, so the settings are correctly applied and saved? [13:54] nm-applet is apparently not the tool to achieve this milestone [13:54] nm wouldnt save the WPA password prooperly, and saved it as one long hex string all the time, so wouldnt connect...turned out it wanted a WPA2 password.. there aint any settings to choose one of the other, it aks for WPA or WPA2 passowrd.. upgraded my router that gave it wpa2 functions and the rest is history. [13:54] setuid_: you should probably explain what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen [13:54] Hey! How can I check what catalyst version is currently installed by default on a fresh 9.04 install? [13:54] eni, have you checked out backports firsts? That would be your safest bet. [13:55] brb, grabbing a bite [13:55] walrus_: packages.ubuntu.com, or use apt-cache [13:55] jrib, Installed Jaunty. Logged in. WAPs around me were seen. I selected mine and put in my psk, which came from my _working_ wpa_supplicant.conf file. It connects to my WAP. When it does so, it breaks the default route and adds garbage IPs and routes to /etc/resolv.conf and the routing table. [13:55] jrib: could you be mroe specific, I'm new to linux :) [13:56] walrus_: apt-cache policy PACKAGE will tell you the version of a package [13:56] jrib, The only way to get wireless working, is let nm-applet misconfigure wireless, then "fix" it manually at the shell, by editing /etc/resolv.conf manually and providing correct routes by "route del default" and "route add default gw ..." [13:56] setuid_: ok, but ask the channel [13:56] greets! i couldn't save an edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf so i went sudo gedit in a terminal and saved the edit.. [13:56] setuid_: can't you just not use nm at all though? [13:56] however this seams to have been a bad idea [13:57] jrib, What are my other choices? Put the manual wpa_supplicant CLI options and args in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh? That'll blow up if I upgrade anything that touches that file. [13:57] jrib: ok I see thanks, now I gotta figure out what is the catalyt package name XD [13:57] hiya guys whats happening? [13:57] now i get a loud beed on shutdown [13:57] Hi.. anyone know how to use sed to split a resolution? e.g. to turn 1024x768 into var1=1024, var2=768 [13:57] chazco, perl [13:57] anyone here can tell me what extra features banshee has rather than rhythmbox? [13:57] so i suspect by doing the edit that way i changed owner or rights or something... [13:58] i hear it might replace rhythmbox in next version so i ask new features? [13:58] chazco: you could do that with the cut command and using x as the separator [13:58] ..mm not beed.. i mean beep === dLeonX is now known as help [13:58] fornix - Okay, will look into it. Thanks :) [13:58] what should the file settings be for daemon configs? === help is now known as MicroBeast [13:58] matreya6: i'm back, and the problem hasn't gone [13:58] and how do i change it easily? === MicroBeast is now known as dLeonX [13:59] i think my problem is in the pulse audio [13:59] but how can i config it?: [13:59] hi, I have a strange issue with jaunty, when I plug usb harddrive on the computer, disk is reconize but not mounted, if I mount in a terminal its work well, I restart hal and nothing change, you know how to fix this ? === fornix_ is now known as fornix [13:59] Anyone know how I can get GNOME to "keep" my font settings? I log in and they're HUGE, and only get "fixed" when I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and *CHANGE NOTHING*. Just entering the dialog "tricks" GNOME into applying them. [14:00] jrib: ok your method is fine bt it teels me the amdcccle package vesrion, but what I want to know is the Catalyst version( like 9.1 9.2 ect..) wich I can't find in the catalyst manager :( [14:00] setuid_: well, nm has always worked for me so I don't know your other options. I assume before nm, there was a better way than what you said though. See if the wiki has anything. [14:00] !wifi > setuid_ [14:00] setuid_, please see my private message [14:00] walrus_: usually the two are related. Does the package description say the version? [14:00] jrib, Out of the box (this Jaunty install is less than a few hours old), it doesn't work. [14:00] setuid_: I think we've established that, I believe you [14:00] jrib, so if yours works, you did something beyond the default config, to get it working [14:01] setuid_: nope [14:01] jrib: This package provides the Catalyst Control Center, Linux Edition <= doesn't say much :( [14:01] setuid_: i just selected my network from the drop down menu and entered my password [14:02] fonts are broken as well. I can see the font faces in xlsfonts, but when I try to pass any of those to xterm -fn , it claims it can't load it. [14:02] where can i get a nice network monitor for the terminal,ive tried almost all suggestions i got so far nd im not pleased.any better ideas? [14:02] jrib: and the xorg-drivers-fglrs simply say: This package provides 2D display drivers [14:02] and hardware accelerated OpenGL. [14:02] jrib, And how did it set up the routes? On this end, it makes up some random IP routes and applies those [14:02] am i the only one to have troubles with kde network manager for the wifi in 9.04? [14:02] jrib, routes which I do not have on my network, it gets them from "somewhere", and sets those as the default, which of course breaks networking [14:02] yoolao, No, networking is very broken in 9.04 [14:02] setuid_: I didn't check (not on the laptop now) [14:03] Hi. I tried to resize my root partition. After rebooting, 'df -h' shows no difference. gparted lists the partition as larger but there's no more space available. fsck.ext3 reports one large file. but i can't find one using 'find /media/sda2/ -size +2G -ls'. debugfs shows 'Size: 4299210752' when running 'stat <7>' (the resize inode). Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? http://pastebin.com/m19236235 [14:03] walrus_: should be 8.543 http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/fglrx-amdcccle [14:03] is there a replacement for the (broken (?)) NetworkManager? [14:03] yoolao, yes, run wpa_supplicant manually from the shell [14:04] yoolao, networkmanager is just a front-end for that [14:04] jrib: oh im on 9.04 but im gonna check the details for 9.04 thanks [14:04] hum.... i had to read about so... [14:04] how do i make my computer reset to default graphic setting with no ati driver so i can re-install the ati catalist from scratch - i'm on a live disk now because I can't boot to desktop without a freeze [14:04] fornix - Got it working, thanks :) [14:05] fonts are broken, networking is broken, video driver is broken. Well, at least the disk works and the kernel unpacks and gives me a shell. [14:05] jrib: actually I don't think the 8.543 or 8.600 for jaunty as anything to do with the Ati catalyst version :( [14:06] hmm, when using netboot install (pxe booting it) is there a way to set desktop or server after APPEND, like install=server? :| [14:07] matreya6: u still on? [14:07] walrus_: then you probably want to run the control center from the command line and try switches like --version, -v, -V, etc. [14:07] back... [14:07] cool [14:08] i've found my back up conf file is blankso it doesn't work [14:08] How can I install some sound drivers? [14:09] anyone know whats up with i945? In Hardy I had better graphics. Flash and compiz are slow and my fan runs high on vaio [14:09] matreya6: is there someway to force the pc to default graphic and then repair from desktop [14:09] m3ldg, yes there is it is a kernel option, vga-something... just a moment [14:10] matreya6: many thanks, i'm getting stressed big time now [14:10] jrib: I'm sorry but actually the amdcccle (wich is catalyst manager) -version says 2.6 wich can't be the catalyst driver version :( [14:10] jrib: sorry that ati catalyst thing is a real pain in the ass anyway [14:11] walrus_: why do you believe the package version is different than the version of the driver? [14:11] jrib: but I wanted to know if 9.04 was installing the 9.4 last catalyst version by default [14:11] m3dlg, remember the motto of the Hitchikers Guide?....Don't Panic! [14:11] jrib: because catalyst version are like 8.11, 8.12, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and latest is 9.4 [14:11] walrus_: if you're using the driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log will probably give you some version info as well [14:11] matreya6: rofl [14:11] hello. how to set my haier d1200p cdma in ubuntu 9.04? [14:11] jrib: no way 2.6 is the catalyst version :) [14:12] walrus_: the package version is not 2.6 [14:12] jrib: amdcccle -versions retuends 2.6 [14:12] walrus_: should be 8.543 http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/fglrx-amdcccle [14:12] jrib: amdcccle -version returned 2.6 [14:13] jrib: but even 8.543 seems really old, since it would be an 1 year old driver [14:13] jrib: im gonna check that file you told me [14:13] walrus_: if you go to download catalyst directly, it offers versions like 8.456 or whatever. Remember, I linked you to intrepid, in jaunty it seems to be 8.600 [14:13] m3dlg, try the following kernel option: vga=791 [14:14] matreya6: will do, just rebooting (AGAIN!) [14:14] jrib: yes but even 8.600 would be 2008.06 drivers... seems weird for jaunty to be using 1 year old drivers by default no? [14:14] walrus_: no idea [14:14] matreya6, ? [14:15] walrus_: is that package the one that provides the driver? [14:15] Bman, yes? [14:15] hep me [14:15] what do i have to do at these keyboard preferences matreya6 ? [14:15] jrib: im not sure, I used the Hardware proprietary drivers installation from ubuntu menu [14:15] jrib: and i wanted to know what version it installed [14:16] walrus_: fglrxinfo ? [14:16] whats the command to see of the partitions and what they are mounted as and what their details are ? [14:16] matreya6: now for the daft question [14:16] xcerca: mount [14:16] vertagano: fgrlxinfo only says some opengl version that's all :( [14:16] matreya6: where do i put a kernal option like that, not console like i did (like noob i am) [14:17] What's in the parens at the end of the OpenGL version? [14:17] Bman, I have only used those options with a US-Qwerty Keyboard, try using Alternative French Keyboard layout and see if that fits your real layout [14:18] m3dlg, in grub you have a few seconds before it loads the kernel, you can select the row that selects your kernel and edit the line with "e" to add stuff to it, like vga-791 [14:19] m3dlg, you can also try the safe graphics mode, but as you will see that does not always work... [14:19] vertagano: OpenGL version string: 2.1.8575 [14:20] matreya6, no, doesn't work. you know a place where it's more focussed on stuff liek this? [14:20] walrus_: Huh. When I used to have an ATI card, it would list my Catalyst version in parens after the OpenGL version string. [14:20] minus or equals? u used both [14:21] vertagano: seems it doesn't anymore :( [14:21] Bman, try this thread for starters: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4909618 [14:21] walrus_: http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/35147 [14:21] thanks [14:21] Which is the best desktop environment for Ubuntu ?? [14:22] vertagano: i tried to searach on the jaunty wiki, it's weird they do'nt list the default catalyst version installed [14:22] pls help me troubleshoot why i cannot ping an XP machine in LAN. I can ping if I boot into XP too [14:22] vertagano: oh!!!! thats explains it all !!! [14:23] Blizzerand, that's purely personal, just look at some screenshots, browse some features and see waht appeals to you. Then just give a LiveCD a spin to see if you really like it :-) [14:23] vertagano: thx a lot :) now i wonder if i should install the real 9.4 or keep these default [14:23] hmm [14:23] Bman, Here's another: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-106209.html [14:24] thx alot matreya6 :) [14:24] walrus_: I think I'd keep the default for now... But then, I hate troubleshooting video problems. [14:24] jrib: just to let you know you were right about 8.600 :) as vertagano found out it is a non official catalyst that is shipped with 9.04 :p [14:25] Bman, don't mention it. I have a P3 lappy with a weird Belgian Toshiba layout. It was such a hassle to get that layout working that I just switched to US-international and typed the right keys from memory. [14:25] vertagano: im asking myself because i can hardly play any video while compiz is atcivated, meaning while the fglrx driver is in use :( :( :( [14:25] matreya6: that has not worked, i'll have to out soon, i'm stressed and i figure i'll have to do a re-install, but i can't afford to loose the 1tbish of stuff i have on the rest of teh drive [14:26] m3dlg, are those 1tbish of stuff on an another partition than the OS itself? [14:26] greets! i pasted my question about daemon.con edit in pulse in the pastebin: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/168762/plain/ [14:26] hi [14:27] most on the same drive same partition [14:27] it's a shared drive with the devil too [14:27] m3dlg, On ebit of general advice though: If you are stressed, calm down first before you go to work on your system and inadvertently break stuff that you hold dear. [14:27] i want know how much the partition / is full, who i must do? [14:27] m3dlg, Ah, VLM/ Raid? [14:27] paolo88, try df -h [14:28] not raid, normal single drive [14:28] Hello ;) [14:28] ciao [14:28] !list [14:28] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [14:28] oooohhh something has happened, the screens have swapped [14:28] I get this error, when I try to remove a package: "The package 'printers-bangalore' is in an inconsistent state and needs to be reinstalled, but no archive can be found for it.

[14:38] shyam: yes [14:38] phoe6: ssl headers have nothing to do with this package [14:39] I will install it using apt-get or Synaptics package manager; the latter wont work if I have this package in a bad shape. [14:39] phoe6: ok - so then it DOES have implications to other packages - speak to your system administrator [14:40] okay. [14:40] erUSUL: thanks.. [14:40] as I said, it would take my 2days and I shall look out for help at other avenues ( or someone else too). thanks. [14:40] How can I make my VLC player to be the main player of both video/audio files? [14:40] I disagree about NFS, unless you really know how it works and now how to use very recent features.. An unavailable NFS export results in serious breakage.. I've heard about some new feature that solves that problem, but I don't know how to use it. [14:40] Hello, I have an issue with upgrading, I'm wondering if you guys can help me find the source of the problem or solution. [14:41] Sebboh: what you prefer over nfs? [14:41] phoe6: you will potentially do serious damage to your system playing with a custom pacakge that has dependencies on other pacakges [14:41] I get the following message when the upgrade window pops for upgrading [14:41] "E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." [14:41] how would I got about finding the exact problem? [14:42] I'm currently running 9.04 [14:42] I'm using ubuntu (server) installtion's shell, I don't have fdisk, is there any way of finding out what partition I have ? [14:42] ikonia: I am not worried about that. :) I am kind of surprised at your send me in so many rounds. ikonia; I am a programmer, who can try out stuffs and experiement too. This package was a experiement which has failed; and I am trying to undo it.. [14:43] phoe6: the package should not just be blindly removed if it has dependencies on other packages, hence why you should talk to your systems administrator [14:43] shesek: mount -l or df ? sorry i didn't get what shell that is.. [14:44] Okay, it depends upon Depends: cupsys-client, openprinting-ppds [14:44] as I am said, I am not worried if my whole system crashes too; but that wont happen is my gut feel. [14:44] QueenInfamous, you simply associate the file extensions with the VLC bin file. Konqueror will let you do that, under options. === Big_trouble is now known as cewek_baik [14:44] I am on Wubi.. btw. one of the option is to a do a system-repair. [14:45] is there a way to install .iso's on linux without burning to cd? [14:45] does the live-dvd of ubuntu studio already uses the real-time kernel? [14:45] i have a .iso installer disc [14:45] Sebboh: you using samba? [14:45] Can anyone tell me, does the build-essentials package do anything at all for compiling software like MySQL from source? Or is it only meant for building actual .deb packages? I'm a bit confused by the description of the package. [14:45] and a .iso for the application [14:46] Hi, I have ubuntu installed inside Windows and I read Hibernation is not available [14:46] daan, its useful when you compile packages [14:46] so there's no workaround to enable it after it's been installed? [14:46] how come i get a beep on shutdown after editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ? [14:46] quiksilver: there are ways of making a bootable flash drive and booting off that, and some very advanced ways of booting if you have an existing Linux system to start the process with. but the CD is by far the easiest . if worried about "wasting" a CD, use CD-RWs which are reusable. [14:46] blixt, blacklist pcspkr [14:46] quiksilver: if its an ubuntu package cd, what you can do is to mount that iso file using mount command which will make it run like a "virtual cd" and do "add cdrom" to the synaptic.. [14:46] and more-over ikonia; I am on a higher version of ubuntu than my corporate; so I am my own system-adminstrator in this case... [14:47] <^biNuN_giRL^> jjll [14:47] quiksilver, yes [14:47] aha! what does that mean? [14:47] arvind_khadri: i see, thanks. how can i find what the package actually installs for me? the packages.ubuntu.com page only shows the dependencies and the description [14:47] Ubuntu won't do full work if you install it under windows. It's not pure Ubuntu environment. [14:47] even if i edit it back the beep is still there.. [14:47] thanks alot [14:47] shyam: it [14:48] shyam: its not the ubuntu cd [14:48] dLeonX, what are the main differences? [14:48] PhotoJim: thanks [14:48] quiksilver: you're welcome. [14:48] arvind_khadri: which method do you reccomend [14:48] hello [14:48] does anyone know a good graph editor? [14:48] quiksilver, the loopback stuff [14:48] daan, just a min [14:49] something for creating graph images (preferably with possibilities for black&white print, not just colors) [14:49] quiksilver: hmm.. i assumed that you have a running gnu distribution and what you want is to add more software. is it like that? then be careful about version of the cd.. mixing different distros and even different versions of same distro can cause harm [14:49] hi all... I am trying to move everything from a bunch of sub directories, into the original folder directory [14:49] is there an easy CLI command to use? [14:49] I tried dia and inkscape but both lack stuff for black & white printing [14:49] arvind_khadri: ofcourse, thanks [14:49] Rapachooie: You can use a for loop in bash. [14:49] If you intall it under Windows, Ubuntu is just like another VirtualMachince. If you wan the full power, you need to setup it in real Linux env. [14:49] Rapachooie, mv [14:50] vertagano: could you give me an example? [14:50] hi, every time i go to open a file (the file dialog box?) the application freezes for about 30-60 seconds before continuing an normal. this is extremely frustrating. help? [14:50] dLeonX, the problem is that I can't partition my harddisk [14:50] although I got like 50Gb free [14:51] ??? why [14:51] otherwise I'd have installed it independently [14:51] well whenever I try to shrink it it will only let me use about 500mb [14:51] I tried defragging and all [14:51] Rapachooie: for i in `ls -R`; do echo "$i"; done [14:51] Rapachooie: That will list every file in every subdirectory from where it's run. [14:52] arvind_khadri: yes I would like to use mv, but I do not know how to tell it to move the contents of every subdirectory into the original [14:52] vertagano: ok cool... and then I can replace ls with mv [14:52] arvind: would that be a command to silence the pc-speaker? do you have any idea why i now have the beep? [14:52] Rapachooie: for i in `ls -R`; do mv "$i" /newfolder; done [14:52] Rapachooie: http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide [14:52] oh brilliant [14:53] Rapachooie: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_09_01.html [14:53] Rapachooie, you need to blacklist the module named pcspkr [14:53] Are you sure you have more than that? What exactly you've done? except defrag-ing? [14:53] does ubuntu have any great open source language learning programs? [14:53] if i want to learn italian etc [14:53] okie dokes... but why do I need to blacklist the pcspeaker module? [14:54] Dr_Willis: Thank you for your hint. The only thread I found that could fix the problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1154372) didn [14:54] t it. [14:54] Rapachooie, that wasnt for you sorry [14:54] heya, does ubuntustudio cut off all server related loagings? [14:54] oh no problem :) cheers [14:54] ok vertagano thanks a bunch of that im looking at it now [14:54] Dr_Willis: ... didn't it. [14:54] hi i have 2 ethernet cards - 1 for lan and 1 for internet. how do i know which one is which? [14:55] blixt, you would need to blacklist the module pcspkr as the sound is coming from there [14:55] heya, i got Ubuntu 8.04.2 on my lil fileserver and it loads snd-hdaintel automatically [14:55] alsamixer shows up fine too [14:55] axel_: not sure what to tell ya then. actually ive frogotten the actual problem... :) me and my short attention span... [14:55] but i have no sound in mocp [14:55] would anyone know why? [14:55] Hi! I've just installed hamachi under ubuntu. I can see everyone in the network, but I cant ping them. Have I missed anything? === ecanto is now known as Edson [14:56] !info hamachi [14:56] Package hamachi does not exist in jaunty [14:56] doh [14:56] civixier: whats that? [14:56] arvind: i c. but if possible i would like to know why the beep came alive.. i suspect it has something to do with my method of editing the file [14:56] !info build-essential [14:56] build-essential (source: build-essential): Informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.4 (jaunty), package size 7 kB, installed size 48 kB [14:56] does ubuntustudio leave out all unnessesery stuff? [14:57] shadeslayer Hamachi?

[14:58] shadeslayer: making ubuntu faster? (ubuntustudio) [14:58] wilhart: un-necessary ? what do you consider un-necessary? [14:59] daan, ya , you also try sudo aptitude [14:59] shadeslayer The windows version is more popular, its mostly used as a gaming-on-lan-over-internet-thing, the linux version isnt that well-known I think. [14:59] shadeslayer: well all demonsa? [14:59] deamons [14:59] the information is very contradictional, one says: "Were you trying to compile someting from source? build-essential is whats called a meta-package i.e. a package that pulls many other packages for installation.".. while the actual package info says: "If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this package. Moreover this package is not required for building Debian packages." [14:59] a 'debian package' means a .deb file, doesn't it? [14:59] arvind: first i edited the conf... please take a look here... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/168783/plain/ [14:59] wilhart: ah...try #ubuntustudio.or you can see for your self,press ctrl+alt+F1 after booting [15:00] Anybody here know why xfdesktop --reload (Xfce4) doesn't work as its former.

[15:08] Narbeh, what does a telnet on you webserver port give you? [15:08] gilster: sure. [15:09] user__: i just install lamp server. before i could see my webserver from another pc . but now i can't why? [15:09] matreya6: i don't know [15:09] photojim: cheers. how did you mount your drive. did it automount? [15:10] gilster: I think so. I haven't attached it for a few days. I use it to back up my server. yours is not automounting? [15:10] NarbeH: what does 'telnet my.server.ip.x 80' give you? [15:10] Narbeh, let's say you have your webserver hosted on 192.168.1.3 and on that address you have your webserver listening at port 80. In that case, what does the command "telnet 192.168.1.3 80" give you? [15:11] photojim: nope. doesnt pick up anything [15:11] guys has anyone customized gedit here? [15:11] i have a coupla doubts [15:11] Rapachooie: http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/589336/638946 [15:11] photojim: the card works and lspci reads it correctly but when i plug an external Maxtor firewire drive i get nothing [15:12] Rapachooie: This seems to speak directly to your purpose. [15:12] gilster: open up a terminal. if you just plugged it in (and if you didn't, you may want to unplug it, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again), you should see messages about it in your dmesg. you can type "sudo tail /var/log/dmesg" to see the last few lines, or just "dmesg" if you don't mind it scrolling through everything first. [15:12] gilster: is the drive partitioned and formatted? [15:12] matreya6: user__: Unable... Network Is Unreachable ...

First of all you need your PC to be able to connect to your webserver at basic ping level. Maybe there is something wrong with routing on your network? [15:14] i have a 64bit system [15:14] deadman: re install it [15:14] Does anyone know how to auto-start a certain app at a certain workspace in gnome? [15:14] ok [15:14] Rapachooie: Kitty Cat's solution looks promising. [15:14] deadman, 64bit opera + flash problem?

[15:15] matreya6, how do you install windows version of firefox [15:15] Narbeh, yes but is your webserver at the same IP? (I mean 192.168.1.3 ?) [15:15] wine?

[16:28] gartral: does it take resources when it is paused?? [16:28] fornix: not really an answer, ... but vlc works fine. ;/ amarok shouldn't use any resources (well, a minor amount perhaps) while it's paused [16:28] i doubt [16:28] fornix: it takes up resources when its open and stopped [16:28] i thought it might be a sound issue. maybe pulseaudio [16:29] anyone here using ubuntu on an msik9a2 platinum mobo? or possibly know someone who is? [16:29] I'm having a lot of trouble with the onboard promise raid chip and I can't seem to find anyone who is sharing my pain with this ;) [16:30] fornix fermulator amarok isn't meant to be run in gnome, and its the KDE libs that take up the resources, seeing as vlc uses QT as well, it puts extra strain on the system [16:30] gartral: the same thing happens when i log in kde too [16:30] gartral: but we all know amarok is the best music player/manager out there, there's no "gnome" equivilant [16:31] fornix: if you would be so kind as to try Amarok and Dragon player, we can see if my info is correct [16:31] l [16:31] fermulator: give songbird and exial a bit more time, their catching up nicly [16:32] gartral: now i tried to play video.

[17:39] chuck_, all format work expect .wmv extension [17:39] Hello everyone, I have a question, non-urgent. I am a linux newb and was thinking of upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. Anything I should be worried about, or do before upgrading? I have backed up all the files I "think' I need. [17:40] TheJointChief: do you have a media player, like a sansa or an ipod? [17:40] I have an ipod, yes [17:40] But I've never used it with linux [17:40] im tryin to use rsync to backup my mp3s to a usb stick, its formatted as ext2. i use "rsync -rv --delete /media/mp3 /media/usbstick" which copied them all to it initially, but further use of that command and it goes really slow thru each file, as though its copying them again, or scanning, i dunno, its just as slow as copying (its a slow usb stick anyway). I thought it would just wizz thru it with whats changed (5 files have changed) [17:41] * tones is back (gone 00:02:06) [17:41] * tones is away: I'm kinda busy for a bit, ill be back :D [17:41] !away > tones [17:41] tones, please see my private message [17:41] deany, have you tried grsync? [17:41] TheJointChief: the jump is worth it, but be prepared to replace a config file, or else your machine wont mount the ipod.. if you dont care/dont use Rockbox.. it wont matter [17:42] chuck_, is there any convertor for .wmv to .mov ? .mov work [17:42] gartral: Ok, thanks I appreciate it. Just had a few issues going from 8.04 to 8.10 (no sound) and didnt want a repeat hehe [17:42] Anyway, wish me luck :) [17:43] * TheJointChief runs off to install the upgrade [17:43] TheJointChief: ahh, no, your current configs will survive this time! :P [17:43] Sweet! :) === xtr-II is now known as xtr [17:43] TheJointChief: one thing i found slightly anoying, was the rework of the way you get to your mixer [17:44] helper, who can use mencoder to convert it but vlc and mplayer can play wmv files with no problem [17:44] Where did they hide it? [17:45] TheJointChief: you now have to click the sound applet, and that gives a box with access to the mixer, double clicking the applet itself mutes all [17:45] ahh, well I guess thats not so bad, on the whole :) [17:45] hbekel: Thanks, that did help. [17:45] I'll get used to it [17:45] heh [17:46] Well it's about to install, so let me hop off here, don't want it to complain about me being on IRC [17:46] TheJointChief: yea, took me a week of accidentally muting myself before i remembered [17:46] Thanks again :) [17:46] lol [17:46] TheJointChief: good luck [17:46] * TheJointChief waves and crosses his fingers [17:46] ty [17:46] how can I install ATI Radeon 3870 drivers on 9.04?

[17:48] gartral: it has an ATI proprietary driver as well now [17:48] it just doesn't work [17:48] lol [17:48] user1949: have you tryed the Radeon drivers?

[17:52] user1949: I'm just asking cos i have an AIT card and it works fine out of the box with direct rendering and stuff [17:52] good evening, eveybody... [17:52] scream, ls [17:52] arvind_khadri, ls gives me a directory and file listing, not the absolute path of where I am. [17:52] user1949: perhaps it could be better but last time i tried the proprietary drivers it fsck'd up direct rendering [17:53] scream, it's pwd [17:53] scream: pwd will tell you [17:53] i have two acre aspire ones, i tried upgrading my ubuntu to 9.04 the other day, which didn't work well (slow gfx and all).. .but now i just tried it again, and it seems to be fine and quick... are all the 'bugs' solved now ? (bios problems and the crapy intel video)? [17:53] pwd = print working directory [17:53] im tryin to use rsync to backup my mp3s to a usb stick, its formatted as ext2. i use "rsync -rv --delete /media/mp3 /media/usbstick" which copied them all to it initially, but further use of that command and it goes really slow thru each file, as though its copying them again, or scanning, i dunno, its just as slow as copying (its a slow usb stick anyway). I thought it would just wizz thru it with whats changed (5 files have changed) [17:53] would like to be sure before i upgrade both of them [17:53] ODDity: also, I'm using 64bit... i think that has something to do with it [17:54] scream, sorry pwd [17:54] user1949: It might. I dont know anything about that i'm afraid. Still on an athlon 1.6 wih 786mb of ram [17:54] brb [17:55] anybody have any experience distinguishing and installing the right graphics card drivers for an intel [17:55] intel gm965 [17:55] thank you [17:55] any idea why I might be getting constant timeouts to some IRC servers, while this one is fine.

[18:05] in here [18:05] arvind, repo [18:06] mrubcich: strongly recommend you try to find a prebuilt .deb with a different version of mesa instead of messing around with compiling it by hand (doing that is nontrivial, doing it in a way that can be undone more so) [18:06] 180 [18:06] mzz: i dont know how to use git at all i was hoping someone might be able to explane it to me [18:06] arvind_khadri: from the ATI website [18:06] ODDity yes it is there [18:06] tones: works out quite well so far :) [18:06] mzz: yeah i do NOT wanna compile it by hand [18:06] chuck_: tried, but I still get the errors on lines 12-14 of this http://paste.ubuntu.com/168904/ [18:06] oh u was talking to them [18:06] right now both monitors are cloned, I was to have my desktop extended accross both [18:07] user1949, then i guess we cant help, that option might not have been built yet from them, the documentation assumes you are using the drivers from the repo [18:07] WIGGMPk: and attempting to reinstall libclass-accessor-perl fails too?

[18:07] WIGGMPk: this sounds like the database of installed packages got corrupted somehow. I don't know how to fix that... [18:07] you suggested osx and something else, what was the 2nd one? [18:08] mrubcich: find a repository, tell the package manager about it, upgrade mesa [18:08] c0ntract0r: ok, well maybe you need the new one? get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ download the tar.gz and replace the existing libflashplayer.so with the new one from that zip [18:08] linux_hates_me: bsd [18:08] never heard of it [18:08] user1949, oh, i dont know much, am sorry [18:08] im not getting any sound when i use alsa [18:08] what is it [18:08] ?

Did you find your problem mentioned in the release notes of a newer version of mesa? [18:09] linux_hates_me, LOL [18:09] c0ntract0r: I dont know.. getting the latest version from adobe wouldn't hurt, it's pretty easy to put in the right place [18:09] ook, guess it cant hurt [18:10] I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOV [18:10] E LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP I LOVE LAMP [18:10] con-man: stop [18:10] linux_hates_me: why don u use lynx [18:10] can someone here help me with my crontab? i was reading a tutorial on setting up awstats and i entered a line into my crontab to update the webstats every 10 mins, but it hasnt' been updating [18:10] sorry [18:10] con-man, dont do that man [18:10] http://pastebin.com/f480e750b is my /etc/crontab [18:10] linux_hates_me: cli browser [18:10] chuck_: walk me thru this one...

I need "Read and Write" [18:17] !info dontzap [18:17] dontzap (source: dontzap): Command line tool to set the DontZap option in xorg.conf. In component main, is optional.

[18:17] JohnnyBGoode, depend on the folder. which one is it? [18:17] i had my landlord put my comp in his routers dmz.. now i am still having problems with ports.... can it be something in ubuntu not letting me connect to certain ports?

I want my laptop monitor to be primary, and my external to be secondary with desktop extension [18:19] or use kile [18:19] I can identify both monitors [18:19] I was wondering if someone could help me with auto-mounting partitions upon startup, and helping me locate a partition that is detected, but unable to be used [18:19] JohnnyBGoode, then copy the file with sudo cp /path/where/your/file.so /usr/lib/...

[18:22] guys [18:22] epicreviews, there should be a button that makes a display the primary [18:22] and my compiz effects are off now for some reason === diego is now known as Guest57714 [18:22] I wanted to know if theres a way to use KDE but use the GNOME default apps? [18:22] unable to access document [18:22] find the button for me toneman77 [18:22] ODDity should i have a /usr/lib/flashpluginstaller folder with that .so lib in it? [18:22] I installed kubuntu over ubuntu and kept gnome [18:22] when i go to the freebsd [18:22] epicreviews, show me a screenshot [18:22] and generally i prefer the gnome apps. [18:22] also my wifi works when i log in with gnome, but not with kde [18:23] epicreviews, problem here is, that i have a nvidia card and dont have these display settings [18:23] tone, this takes me back to by bbs days, lol [18:23] oh the colors [18:23] fabio___: easy solution, use gnome [18:23] toneman77 worked perfectly, thank you again [18:23] linux_hates_me: lol [18:23] llol [18:23] c0ntract0r: um... if you want.. he flahsplayerinstaller is just a script that find out where libflashplayer.so need to go if you dont fancy doing it yourself as far as i know.. so..

What kind of support is this?

[18:33] hi all [18:33] tones yup, in the jaunty live cd [18:33] @ tones - small little things that only take a button press or two in windows take 15 minutes to figure out in linux === Majix560 is now known as Erchin [18:33] epicreviews: they only take two because you know where to go in windows. [18:33] dan2k: reboot into windows and run a chkdsk twice, then shutdown properly [18:33] and now I have a freakin box in my way [18:33] hey im back tones [18:33] epicreviews don't blame the OS blame your miniscule computer illiirate brain [18:33] funny enough, to change the volume on your mic in windows 7 requires 4 dlg boxes! [18:33] its linux_hates_me [18:34] epicreviews: I'm sure that linux is not going to work for everyone. But if you want a system that "just works" then buy one that has linux installed. [18:34] on my computer upstairs [18:34] haha *illiterate [18:34] so it isn't just linux :) [18:34] civpro: oh hey [18:34] all systems have their quirks [18:34] civpro: ok [18:34] tones - okay thanks! [18:34] @ dan2k - Windows is just more simplistic. I like Ubuntu a lot better, but Windows is simple. I dual boot vista and Ubuntu [18:34] Does anyone know kno wthe name of the song that goes dana dana da DA and they sing "another day" and it has a kick ass gutair solo in it? [18:34] epicreviews: dont say the v word here [18:34] im going to try mandriva, maybe i will have better luck giving that the driver from the website is more designed for that flavor [18:34] ok tones [18:35] civpro: ok [18:35] epicreviews: you use vista as a good example? :) [18:35] or redhat [18:35] Brasileiros?? [18:35] they moved everything around in vista hehe [18:35] not sure yet [18:35] tones: i did what you did and i lost the GUI. I had to issue the reboot command [18:35] ahauhuhu [18:35] is redhat bloated? === johnny is now known as Guest33187 [18:35] I like "v" it's pretty cool, but I can tell they stole some stuff from linux [18:35] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKX5mStkmrU --> Watch!!!

I just heard it on the radio [18:36] ok [18:36] drbrtt: wrong channel [18:36] could you define tty for me? i thought GNOMand KDE were called desktop environments [18:36] huh [18:36] I'll put a screenshot up so you know what I mean [18:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKX5mStkmrU [18:37] can some1 help me set up a raid 5 with 9.04 [18:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKX5mStkmrU [18:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKX5mStkmrU [18:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKX5mStkmrU [18:37] fabio___: by default on most unixes there are 7 ttys (virtual terminals), like 7 mini computers. [18:37] Anyone here know of any good presentation programs (EX: PowerPoint, OpenOffice.org Impress) that exist and are GTK apps? [18:37] does anyone know if it is possible to disable xorg-logging to Xorg.0.log? [18:37] fabio___: 6 consoles, and one X server [18:37] Because OO.org Impress isn't impressing me. =/ [18:37] And Criawips is too primitive. [18:37] hii can someone help me with the desktop in ubuntu netbook remix? [18:37] @ silare - have you tried google docs? [18:37] X server is related to graphics? [18:37] For Presentation software? o_o [18:38] it is [18:38] yes! [18:38] but #xorg wont answer me... [18:38] Webapps aren't my thing, but I s'pose I'll try it. [18:38] fabio___: yes, its the underlying structure for graphics, GNOME and KDE etc. but i cant go into detail, i have homework to do :) [18:38] haha its ok [18:38] thanks anyway [18:38] ok everyone look at the small light blue box in the top left of my screen, how do I remove it? http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb99/Cyndaquil-Thrill/Screenshot-1.png [18:38] fabio___: no problem [18:39] how can I fix it so that "send a link" in Firefox brings up Thunderbird instead of evolution? [18:39] epicreviews somewhere in display pref should be an "identify monitor" checkbox? [18:39] I just wished something like Criawips existed but was actually competent. OO.org is powerful but it gets bulky and fat. [18:39] is it possible to install osx on a non-mac system? [18:39] lampliter: in gnome, you can go to system>preferred apps and use common sense [18:39] never tried myself [18:39] civpro: yes and no [18:39] repnop, care to explain? [18:39] civpro: if it has an SSE2 capable processor, yes [18:39] there are ways but they aren't legal. [18:39] @ c0ntract0r - nope [18:40] depends on your hardware mostly [18:40] well im more worried about hardware compatibility issues [18:40] there are hacks for amd64 etc also though [18:40] It's illegal, but it's all about your hardware. [18:40] Intel will have it easier than AMD. [18:40] ya i got a amd cpu [18:40] And of course, it's also about finding the right 'distribution' of it (iATKOS, Kalyway, etc.) [18:40] Hey everyone! =) Happy sunday / Monday. I have a question regarding Dual Monitor Setups in Ubuntu 9.04 - I'm using an older PC, with an NVIDIA Geforce3 64MB AGP - and a second monitor plugged into the PC's on-board video, which is an intel chipset. How do I get started on making the second screen work? [18:40] yep core 2 is great for it i guess [18:40] help me I still can't get rid of this box!!! http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb99/Cyndaquil-Thrill/Screenshot-1.png [18:41] tones: ah, that was a new one on me. spent so much time looking at the old menus that I didn't even notice the change [18:41] civpro: what chipset? [18:41] lampliter: glad i could help :) [18:41] am2 [18:41] let me get the specs [18:41] might help [18:41] nah i haven't tested so no clue [18:41] i'm running w7 not osx :p [18:42] @EPICREVIEWS: Try restarting computer? >_> [18:42] rep, you like it? [18:42] ok I'll try.... [18:42] epicreviews, you see them 2 windows on the bottom panel close them (display pref) [18:42] civpro: yeah very nice [18:42] i heard good things about it [18:42] unlike vista [18:42] vista wasn't bad [18:42] Windows 7 is quite an improvement over Vista. But they have no Guest Mode. D: And they need some better software. [18:42] Vista was average. But for something that took them so many years to release it's a disappointment more or less. [18:42] silare: i use virtual machines as guest mode ;) [18:43] xD Yeah. I usually do too. [18:43] hi, i'm using ubuntu on a 2008 white macbook, which has a gma950 videocard.. is there any way for making compiz work? [18:43] I'm very much impressed by Windows 7. [18:43] the kernel in vista is nice [18:43] w7 improves the gdi at least [18:43] no global locks [18:43] My computer is fucked [18:43] "Here. It's Windows XP. Now just don't press Ctrl+Alt and all will be good." [18:43] The only reason I'm using it though is because of accessibility issues. (Speech recognition) [18:43] well im not ready to go down that road i could on a virtualbox but not on a core os [18:43] w7 xp mode is ok [18:43] Hmm... [18:43] hi [18:43] are you, or do you know anyone that would be willing to spend some time helping disabled people with a specific program need? [18:43] dl a 600MB file and you have an xp vm with little setup [18:43] Why not dualboot/triboot/somethingboot it? >.>; === dngr- is now known as dngr [18:44] Etanol:too bad,hope you are not [18:44] I reinstalled windows on the base partition, and that fucked up the autostart (no longer grub, using the windows boot), and now I am on ubuntu live CD [18:44] I triboot Win7, Jaunty/Gloria (when Gloria comes out), and Leopard. [18:44] does anyone know how I can install grub on a isolated /booting parititon ? [18:44] WIndows 7 seemed pretty cool [18:44] grub command doesn't work [18:44] ive tried the beta [18:44] Etanol: you can access your grub partition [18:44] i dont know about ubuntu [18:44] and then I try grub-install: [18:44] but im not switching back [18:44] The file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. [18:44] repnop, found it, asus m3n78 pro mb, socket am2+ [18:44] but most grub boot loaders you can hit c [18:44] several people have told me games run better for them under w7 than xp [18:44] then root (hd0,n) [18:44] where n is the partition [18:44] athlon 64 x2 6000+ [18:44] configfile /grub/menu.1st [18:45] and now you see your current one [18:45] And if you're on a liveCD, you can re-setup GRUB. [18:45] i'm too lazy to update the mbr so i just do that if i have to get into linux again before i wipe it [18:45] System's refusing to mount windows share (when it used to a few weeks ago) -- why's this? [18:45] the problem is that it won't do anything whatever I type [18:45] error error error [18:45] @FABIO: Yes and no. If you play any Gameguard games (Ragnarok, Maple Story, Grand Chase, etc.) you're screwed. =[ [18:45] Everything else I've tried is okay. [18:45] Used to mount through fstab entry (CIFS) [18:45] not working anymore though [18:45] steam runs great in w7 thats all i care for with gaming :) [18:45] xD That works.

[18:46] and I've pinged the computer [18:46] anyone know how to set XChat up so that it'll make a sound when someone says my nick? i think i know how (set a sound to play on an event), but i don't know what event to use for it. [18:46] civpro: i told you i wouldn't know if it works well or not. [18:46] ah ok [18:46] sorry didnt see that [18:46] it's ok [18:46] i got it working in qemu-kvm [18:46] but mouse input was slow... [18:46] so never bothered to actually test it out [18:47] just looking for alternatives to windows that might work [18:47] @CIVPRO: Go look on the InsanelyMac forums. Search around on them - there's bound to be some guide for your model of PC. [18:47] osx86 wiki will tell you a lot [18:47] @CIVPRO: The information should be comprehensible enough to get you on your feet hopefully. And Repnop's right too. OSX86 Wiki is win. =] [18:47] silare, i highly doubt that, considering i built it but maybe support for my mb [18:47] but i hate the osx UI anyways [18:47] @CIVPRO: Ouch. >_o [18:47] can anybody help me with grub? I don't wanna reinstall my linux partition :/ [18:47] shift+up selects the file above first selected rather than unselecting the last selected file? i mean common [18:47] @ETANOL: What have you tried so far? [18:48] Etanol: whats the problem? [18:48] GRUB crapped out on him. [18:48] im going to give mandriva a try, if not then redhat, if not then bsd, if not, well then i guess ill go with osx [18:48] heh [18:48]  Etanol: what in that file that won't read [18:48] anyone else use ntfs-3g much in ubuntu 9.04? [18:48] the problem is that the MBR points to windows, and windows boot loader dont have linux [18:48] i'm noticing it's only writing at 1MB/s when reading from a sparse file [18:48] and grub/grub-install don't work for me [18:48] sometimes 300KB/s ...

[18:50] !dontzap [18:50] 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 ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [18:50] @HHP2K1: They took out that feature. D: [18:50] silare: How odd.

It is incredibly unlikely that he is using my wireless. [19:17] dtchen: yes sound comes from the right device [19:17] chaos2fu: sudo adduser to add the new user to a group,eg admin group [19:17] dtchen: where do I go from here? [19:17] yeah thanks i got it...;-) [19:17] carl_: you should tell me the url that you used for pastebin [19:17] hmm [19:18] lakotajames: then the netstat command given above will show most of what you want [19:18] dtchen: used for pastebin? I'm kinda new to this, I don't know how to pastebin :S [19:18] lakotajames:you made me laugh,poor that old man,if he only knew what you are saying of him, hmm..

Could you check to make sure? http://lakotajames.homelinux.com [19:20] nmvictor:Well, I have fixed his vcr enough that it's ok for me to talk about him. He owes me something, even if it is just making you laugh. [19:20] StormWinged: sounds like the nx server doesn't start automatically. You might try ssh to the server and start NX from the command line [19:21] nmvictor: perhaps he's a really good actor and already spying on his wireless and therefore does know!@ === ney is now known as dtcrshr [19:21] this may seem out there, but how can you view different characters in different .ttf fonts? Like the old Character map? [19:21] quickdraw: in what app? [19:21] mzz:yea,perhaps.. [19:21] lakotajames: [19:21] quickdraw: some apps allow you to specify a list of fonts, and they'll fall back to a later font if the first one doesn't have some glyph [19:22] lakotajames: I get a google call button at that url [19:22] mzz, i'm just tweaking conky and wanted to see what characters/symbols were available in the PizzaDudeBullets font group. [19:22] dtchen: ok, and now? [19:22] quickdraw: oh wait, I misparsed the question. Try gucharmap [19:22] if that makes sense. lol. [19:22] mzz, no worries. thank you.

[19:28] When I'm downloading at 1.8 MB/s my upload is going at about 50kb/s but it shouldn't. Anyone know why? [19:28] nmvictor: aren't compiz settings stored in a text file somewhere in my home directory? [19:28] dtchen: yes I found the setting. Thanks alot! [19:28] daworm84: it seems to have some issues, though: you seem to have to migrate all streams manually once, and then it functions properly [19:28] Etanol: sudo grub-install hd0 [19:28] l7:unless someones has otherwise approach for the command line [19:28] i restarted the server with free-nx started and now i cant connect to it via client [19:28] nmvictor: also, is there a way i can disable compiz for my next login? [19:28] lakotajames: you need to block the wifi router from forwarding outside port 80 requests, but if you want to access it from within the house you need the wifi router to forward internal requests [19:28] hi [19:28] The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. [19:28] should I remove my grub folder? [19:28] in what package is the module freetype for xorg in jaunty? [19:29] l7:yea,i think they are,PM so i can help you locate them [19:29] nmvictor: that would do the trick, because then i could access compiz config and disable the bad plugin [19:29] Etanol: that may help [19:29] ubuntu department is in emergency operation. see you guys,, bye for now. :-D [19:29] Does anyone know wich programm's I need to watch dvbt television for my Haupauge WinTV HVR 900 usb device?

[19:30] removing a boot manager rarely makes sense. Just overwrite it with a different one. [19:30] tones, yes it spawns when I do grub-install [19:31] Etanol: hm.. im out of ideas.. === geo_ is now known as geo05 [19:31] anyone?

[19:32] Etanol: i have had several similar problems, i just cant remember how i solved it [19:33] dtchen: internal [19:33] I don't want to reinstall linux :/ got it to work exactly as I want [19:33] can an os put a "lock" on the mbr? [19:33] <[1]kino> Hi, eveybody. I installed ubuntu 8.04. When it boots it boots straight into ubuntu. Does that mean that win xp was erased? [19:33] Etanol: can't you use the live cd and fix the issue [19:33] Etanol: when you install xp AFTER linux you install the windows boot loader in place of grub, and it won't recognize linux [19:33] orava: kaffeine is for KDE, dows it work in gnome? [19:33] carl_: can you test if the headphones work? [19:33] Etanol: no [19:33] fornix: i used the grub boot cd to boot into linux [19:33] hmmm [19:34] daworm84: Yes, it work fine with gnome [19:34] Etanol: its grub itself and/or your partition [19:34] th0r: yes, exactly [19:34] [1]kino, no [19:34] dtchen: oh! they work [19:34] tones: wat? [19:34] tones: maybe you should get all the info have him run this script http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [19:34] <[1]kino> rumpel2 - how do i go to win xp? [19:34] [1]kino, press ESC (i guess) while booting.. then the grub boot-menu should appear [19:34] Etanol: then you need to boot into linux with the grub cd and reinstall grub to the hard drive [19:34] does anyone knows why VBA always put the emulation window to SLEEP when i try to close it? [19:34] Etanol: have a look at this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [19:34] <[1]kino> rumpel2: Oh, in the menu i'll have the option to go to win xp? [19:35] Etanol: you will need to know the drive and partition you want grub to boot into and feed that info to grub-install [19:35] th0r: that is what I am doing now [19:35] [1]kino, ususally... yes [19:35] i'm trying to develop a GBA game here, and it gets annoing having to KILL the process for the window to go (and the process only closes after i close the VBA itself) [19:35] <[1]kino> rumpel2 - great, thanx! [19:35] Etanol: go to sacarlsons link [19:35] Etanol: run that script [19:35] sacarlsons? [19:35] Etanol: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [19:35] dtchen: but what could the reason be for the headphones working but the internal speakers not working? [19:36] hmmm... i do better asking the forums [19:36] [1]kino, you can change the grub-config by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst .... [19:36] carl_: now try muting Headphones, disconnecting your headphones, and seeing if audio plays from the internal speakers :) [19:36] Can you please tell me what exactly is the compiz configuration file? I enabled Blur on the GUI, and now everything got messed up, so I need to log in in recovery mode and disable blur [19:37] hi, ./bootstrap: line 2: aclocal: command not found ,- any idea on that? [19:37] tones: it just gives me an error [19:37] Invalid device requested [19:37] (Error 12) [19:37] Etanol: the script? is it run through sudo? [19:37] anybody having ubuntu questions? [19:38] tones: it is run as root [19:38] ch0de: Try 'metacity --replace' on the command line [19:38] where can i get man pages for kernel functions like kmap etc? [19:38] CarresMD what does this command do? I want the location of the file to pico it [19:38] Etanol: I think it's a device maping problem to find out we would have to look at all info http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [19:38] Etanol: ok, open grub again and instead try setup (hd0,5) [19:39] hi all, I installed 9.04 (with a separate home folder partition). Just installed a program (called FIrstClass client- deb file) but it won't run when I try to run it. It installed in opt/firstclass rather than my home folder. How do I change permissions so I can access and run this program? Or do I need to add myself to root group or something ? Did not have this issue before when home folder and rest of os was on same partition [19:39] -irc.fr [19:39] tones: same error [19:39] dtchen: no audio from the speakers :S I tried changing output device in preferences > sound, but no result.. [19:39] carl_: ok, guess you're stuck with headphones for now [19:39] Etanol: ok. what is the /dev/*** file for your hard drive? [19:39] If I found bug #68572 in a different (newer) version of the package, should I reopen the existing bug against the old package, or file a new one? [19:39] sda5 [19:39] Dante123: use sudo to create a link in /usr/local/bin for the executable that resides in the /opt folder. That should be all you need to do [19:40] Dante123: explain the "won't run"-part.. it gives you an error? [19:40] carl_: there's likely a bug open affecting linux for your symptoms. try searching https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [19:40] dtchen: aight, but that works. thnx for the help! :) [19:40] Addition: the deb file ran, it is the firstclass executable that wont [19:40] ch0de: It will replace the compiz window manager.. So I shouldn't be messup .. Then change the settings of compiz using whatever you've used .. And then type 'compiz --replace' in the terminal [19:40] tones: the hard drive is sda, and my linux partition is sda5 [19:40] ... true [19:40] Etanol: I think the problem is in this file /boot/grub/device.map [19:40] th0r exactly how do I do that? [19:40] Etanol: i was looking for sda, but anyway, open /boot/grub/device.map in your favourite cli or gui text editor [19:40] ups... wrong window [19:40] After removing exaile my sound (in firefox/rhythmbox/pidgin) does no longer work. alsamixer has no devices muted and the proper sliders are at 100%.. no errors are shown anywhere, there just isnt any sound... anyone willing to point me in the right direction? [19:41] Dante123: will it run if you type '/opt/firstclass/executable_name'? [19:41] Etanol: can you see (hd0) /dev/sda ?? [19:41] clearscreen: Whats your sound card? [19:41] CarresMD no problem. I'll try that, but after I know where the compiz configuration file is located [19:41] tones: where? [19:41] th0r good idea, now I get /opt/firstclass/fcc: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [19:41] clearscreen: please pastebin the output from "amixer" [19:41] Etanol: /boot/grub/device.map [19:41] ch0de: Why? [19:42] Dante123: then there are missing dependencies...looks like it is a kde app maybe [19:42] im having problems with CSS [19:42] tones: it has 3 rows [19:42] hey, does anyone know if theres a fix for the adobe flash 10 working slow in firefox??? [19:42] anyone can help me? [19:42] what am I looking for? [19:42] please tell me. I wanna edit it manually :( [19:42] Dante123: at the least, install libqt3 from synaptic [19:42] one saying (hd0) /dev/sda [19:42] tones: yes [19:42] (hd0) /dev/sda [19:42] Etanol: ok, so the mapping is correct. [19:42] dtchen: got it working, noob of me not to see it before :S the "mono playback" was disabled.. (smacks head) [19:42] dtchen: http://pastebin.com/f4a224220 [19:42] carl_: ah :) [19:42] I'll do that onmy own risk, CarresMD [19:43] th0r will try that...maybe it wasnt a permissions thing at all [19:43] Etanol: i suggest removing and reinstalling grub through apt.. see if that helps [19:43] Is it safe to take an ext3 /home directory from a previous install and treat it as ext4 in a new install? [19:43] or is anyone else experiencing this slow adobe flash 10 in firefox using ubuntu 9.04??? [19:43] th0r it seems to already be there. [19:44] JoshJ: no, it is fine the other way around though [19:44] th0r: what about now? === norrsken is now known as RimFrost [19:44] ch0de: There isn't a config file for compiz.. It's manager by gconf [19:44] clearscreen, thank you. Would you suggest i make my new / as ext4 or ext3 if my /home is ext3 then? [19:44] yea I want to edit gconf [19:44] Etanol: if not that, then perhaps try all this from the grub cd prompt [19:44] clearscreen: amixer -Dhw:0 set 'IEC958' mute [19:45] th0r: lol, I accidently killed my internet for a bit. You have any idea how do make apache not serve to webpages outside my home? [19:45] lakotajames: it refreshed so it looks like I can still get to it. I only get a google call button in the top left corner [19:45] dtchen: but thanks for the help, nice of you to take time out of your day for my problems :) [19:45] ch0de: /usr/bin/gconf-editor [19:45] nothing works [19:45] dtchen: I did that, still no sound :P [19:45] lakotajames: I would set up an ipchains rule to block all but 192.168 addresses from port 80...but that is just me [19:45] th0r I will install libqt dev stuff too === menelkir is now known as Guest53462 [19:46] Etanol: try lilo. i dont know how to install it, but it may work [19:46] Dante123: you don't need the dev unless you are compiling the program from source [19:46] th0r: how do I go about doing that? [19:46] I'm off .. Bye === baskingshark is now known as paul68 [19:46] lakotajames: I don't think I want to get into configuring a firewall....it isn't a one liner [19:46] lakotajames, if you have a router you can handle it there [19:46] just block incoming connections on that port to that computer [19:47] very easy to do on a linksys or similar [19:47] lakotajames: you can also block it at the wifi router in most routers. [19:47] lakotajames: but each will be different so I can't begin to guess on that one [19:47] I have a usb external drive connected to my server however it somehow doesn't show when I enter df -h how do I solve this? [19:47] th0r, JoshJ: K, imma try that [19:47] You can use either GRUB or LILO to dual-boot Windows 2000/Windows XP and Linux. Both functionally work fine, but from what I've read, GRUB requires less maintenance, as LILO requires you to reinstall the boot loader [19:47] th0r could this be a 64 bit versus 32bit problem, This is my first go with 64 bit [19:47] lakotajames: I believe all routers though default to NO forwarding, so I suspect you forwarded port 80 in the router [19:48] Dante123: don't know....have avoided 64 bit so far [19:48] dtchen: I reinstalled exaile, killed pulseaudio, then played a random file in exaile (which probably reinitialized pulseaudio properly, although I manually tried pulseaudio -D before).. sound back again now [19:48] th0r: yeah, I did. But I removed the entry just now, but for whatever reason you can still get to it [19:48] lakotajames, yeah, th0r is right. you might want to look at portforward.com and do what it says for your router, but block instead of forward at the key step [19:48] lakotajames, restart your router then maybe [19:48] pavucontrol don't work at all , what I do ??? [19:48] lakotajames: did you restart the router? some routers won't see the changes until they are restarted [19:49] JoshJ, Th0r: OH! good idea. Lemme do that real fast. [19:49] how do I "run lilconfig(8)" [19:49] what is the default key shortcut to run terminal? [19:50] Etanol: aren't you using grub? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [19:50] Etanol: what's telling you to? The (8) is usually a reference to a manpage section [19:50] umm [19:50] hi. how do i copy a log file into a flash drive via the terminal? [19:50] my fstab is weird [19:50] can grub bug because of the fstab? [19:50] I have a usb external drive connected to my server however it somehow doesn't show when I enter df -h how do I solve this? [19:50] Etanol: it probably means "man liloconfig" [19:50] eleite: if it's already mounted: cp /path/to/file /media/whateveritiscalled/ [19:50] tones: nooo [19:50] Hey anyone using the CPU frequency gnome applets? For some reason the ondeman setting doesn't work... even if i run cpu eating programs they stay at 50% frequency :( [19:50] eleite, something like cp /var/log/example.log /media/disk/ [19:50] maybe I just need to fix my fstab [19:50] eleite: use cp command [19:51] thanks :) [19:51] Hi can i identify my nick automatik ? so i dont have to type in my password every time i logon ? [19:51] Etanol: grub accesses the drive raw, thru /dev/sda [19:51] eleite: if it's not already mounted: gnome-mount can probably mount it [19:51] Trolden, depends on your IRC client [19:51] Etanol: it ignores the fstab [19:51] new install of 9.04 64 bit, I have had the system lockup twice. ctrl-alt-bkspace is disabled by default in 9.04. How to reenable? [19:51] in xchat it's easy enough to do [19:51] !dontzap [19:51] 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 ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [19:51] !dontzap | Dante123 [19:51] Dante123: please see above [19:51] tones: this is what my root in fstab looks like: [19:51] dmesg |grep mount [19:51] ops wait [19:51] UUID=bc09c65a-27ba-4a43-908e-05285436bf3c / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [19:52] how do i rip a cd to mp3 in ubunt 9.04? [19:52] Trolden, i'd look but i don't have my install finished yet so i can't give you the actual steps [19:52] Etanol: thats fine, its just referring to a partition through its uuid [19:52] what is the key combi nation to run terminal? I remember it was alt+t but it doesn not work [19:52] (windows xchat is a bit different) [19:52] maynards-girl, apt-get install asunder [19:52] maynards-girl: use one of the many ripper programs.. search for rip cd in synaptic or similar words [19:52] grip, ogmrip (how to rip CD) [19:52] maynards-girl: install grip [19:52] when i try to load a module, i have to modprobe it then insmod to get it to load. Either by itself does not work. [19:52] i prefer rubyripper tho, as its more like EAC [19:52] Etanol: try typing into a terminal "ps aux | grep hal" and see if anything has a hal-lock on your drive [19:53] thank you. i will try one of those [19:53] anybody wanna chat in private about migration from windows to ubuntu? [19:53] akopacsi: yep [19:53] when Update Manager listed that 9.04 was available I upgraded thinking that it would stay with the 64 bit OS since I was running 8.10 64 bit version. I'm not sure if it did so how can I tell if I am running 9.04 64 bit version? [19:54] aaaargh [19:54] how can it be so hard for a program to just change the mbr [19:54] ab8cl: it did.. you can't upgrade from 64bit to 32bit.. or the other way around [19:54] do I need to chmod my /boot/ [19:54] ? [19:54] hey guys i need some assistance in setting up PPTP [19:54] ab8cl: but you can run "uname -a" to see what kernel you're using [19:54] Etanol: i doubt it. [19:54] jrib do you have to run the sudo dontzap --disable just once or how do you make the changes permanent? [19:55] pls do you know how to enable (install) graphics splash screen in boot process? [19:55] Dante123: no idea [19:55] ab8cl: if it says x86_64 at the end it's a 64bit kernel [19:55] i'm trying to back my data up to an external drive. i formatted half the drive in ntfs for backing up windows, and half in ext3 for ubuntu. i can mount the ext3 partition, but i can't write to it. what do i need to do? [19:55] shiznebit: client or server? [19:55] join #canaima [19:55] it doesn't === nicolas_ is now known as Guest40357 [19:55] adamsad1: fails how? [19:55] Etanol: your MBR isn't in /boot/ its on your drive [19:55] abchirk: what does it say then? [19:55] 'ey there [19:55] efjc: client [19:55] Flannel: he/she knows that [19:55] Flannel: yea, but grub is having problem reading /boot/grub/stage1 [19:55] I donÄt know [19:56] ab8cl: : what does it say then? [19:56] basically i got it working but im having major problems. Like the speed is half of what it is supposed to be [19:56] abchirk: sorry.. wrong nick [19:56] mzz: it just won't let me create folders or copy files or anything--it acts like it's read-only [19:56] :( [19:56] hehe yeah.. whats your problem? Slart [19:56] adamsad1: are you doing this as you or as root? [19:56] Hi all, i am looking for references and documentations of kernel development functions like kmap, create_proc_entry etc. Is there any ? also documentations on definitions like S_IRUGO, S_IFREG. also i have downloaded manpages from kernel.org in tar.gz format. Afetr make install also no manual entry for kmap [19:57] mzz: nevermind... i just answered my own question... i need to be root... duh [19:57] I've internet problems.... :P [19:57] goddamnit!! [19:57] adamsad1: either that or you need to chmod/chown the root of the partition once as root [19:57] abchirk: being devilishly handsome, way more clever than you all, smelling good.... oh.. and I have a tendency to make things up as I go ;) [19:57] i am looking for references and documentations of kernel development functions like kmap, create_proc_entry etc. Is there any ? also documentations on definitions like S_IRUGO, S_IFREG. also i have downloaded manpages from kernel.org in tar.gz format. Afetr make install also no manual entry for kmap [19:58] adamsad1: that is: mount the partition, then run chmod/chown on the mountpoint [19:58] lol, kj [19:58] Etanol: sorry to say it, youre screwed. [19:58] never mind it is ok, I looked at System Monitor>System tab it doesn't show the x86 64 like uname -a thanks ---- [19:58] mzz: okay--thanks [19:58] fuad: Go to #ubuntu-offtopic. They get into more complex things there. [19:58] hey I got a question [19:58] :/ [19:58] dsabecky: -offtopic is not a support channel. [19:58] Etanol: i remember reading somewhere that there is a way of chainloading in windows.. [19:59] fuad: #ubuntu-kernel would be better suited for your question. [19:59] Pici [19:59] Aceback: ? [19:59] I got a problem [19:59] Pici: Seeing as it's offtopic. Saying it's anything would be false as it can't be on topic. :P [19:59] with my connection :( [19:59] !ask > Aceback [19:59] I thought the ext4 lockup upon deleting large files bug was supposed to be fixed, however my friend is still experiencing it. im having to redo his home to ext3. [19:59] Aceback, please see my private message [19:59] how can it even bug? [20:00] Etanol: im sorry? [20:00] oh k [20:00] is amarok a little finicky? I scan a (huge) music folder, and it shows a whole list of artists, and then when i double click on an artist it doesnt branch down to songs, should it do that? or am i just not doing it correctly? [20:00] Whats up Aceback :) [20:00] deany: why do you expect redoing it as ext3 to help? [20:00] now if I could only get the Volume louder and the Video to play right.... [20:00] because its a bug in ext4 ? [20:00] My prob is this: [20:00] when I installed ubuntu 8.10 [20:01] eth0 wasnt detected, couldnt get it to detection [20:01] now that I got 9.04 [20:01] deany::: im doing a raid setup right now and was thinking about doing it in ext4, but i have been convinced by others to stick with ext3, ext4 is still very young [20:01] I actually get connected and stuff... but some sites wont load [20:01] It shouldn't give me an error [20:01] this is bs [20:01] and I cant update anything [20:01] deany: it is? iiuc ext4 should be able to do this faster, not slower [20:01] Aceback: please.. let the poor enter key rest a while.. type it all on one line.. perhaps use the . once in a while [20:01] oh k [20:02] Etanol: there are such things as vowels you know ;) [20:02] shiznebit: sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp [20:02] mzz, it does it faster.. it does it badly as its a bug and locks up the pc. [20:02] I tried everything but it still won't load those sites, I even changed the interfaces file [20:02] tones: hm? [20:03] Etanol: ready to take a full look yet? this script will diplay all the data we need to see. http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=250055 [20:03] Etanol: never mind === akiltalib is now known as adriyel [20:03] I have a usb external drive connected to my server however it somehow doesn't show when I enter df -h how do I solve this? [20:03] the bug is "in progress" and set to an importance level of "medium". its the filesystem, thought it deserves a higher priority [20:04] i'm trying to mount my flashdrive but i don't know what device it is. it doesnt seem to appear when i type "mount" command. how can i find the device name? [20:04] paul68: is it mounted? [20:04] Aceback:concerned about ypur problem.what is it? [20:04] mzz: I set it up so it should be mounted but I can't even detect it [20:04] efjc: i have pptp for linux installed [20:05] em [20:05] eleite: one way is to run this in a terminal "sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog" then remove the flash drive, wait a while.. then reinsert it [20:05] this is strange [20:05] eleite:doesnt it show on nutilus sidepane? [20:05] => Grub0.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #256 for /boot/grub/stage2. [20:05] => No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb [20:05] nmvictor: eth0 works fine and stuff.. but the internet connection doesnt work properly. most sites wont load cept for google and I cant update anything === PhotoJim is now known as PhotoJim_ [20:05] aha nvm [20:05] eleite: the text in the terminal should tell you where it's mounted.. if there was an error etc [20:05] slart: ill try that now [20:05] paul68: does it show up in dmesg and /dev/ ? [20:05] Etanol: that doesnt sound right... [20:05] paul68: or in lsusb? [20:05] it says it works [20:06] maybe I should restart and check if it works [20:06] it shows in lsusb [20:06] folks, my laptop just hangs once i open any video file. What could be the reason [20:06] mzz: it shows in lsusb [20:06] I need hepl, i have 3 PC [20:06] folks, my laptop just hangs once i open any video file. What could be the reason [20:06] So, I've been running a task for the past week to recover my data from an external drive. I decided to play Americas Army and my system appears frozen. Is there a kernel shortcut to kill the current running task (alt+f4 isn't responsive)? I'd like to avoid rebooting if I can. [20:06] paul68: how are you trying to mount it? [20:06] Etanol: go ahead [20:06] 2 PC - Ubuntu / Windows [20:06] folks, my laptop just hangs once i open any video file. What could be the rea [20:06] 1 PC - Only Linux [20:06] Etanol: ill wait for you :) [20:06] Slart: last few lines mention [sdd]. could that be it? [20:06] folks, my laptop just hangs once i open any video file. What could be the reason [20:07] h00k__: don't press this yet, but if nobody has a better idea try alt+sysrq+k (which should kill your entire X session) [20:07] I have router Cnet CNIG-914 and only conect internet PC with Windows [20:07] my box hangs once i open any video file. What could be the reason [20:07] hi, how to set volume in terminal for pulseaudio device , amixer don't works? [20:07] eleite: that sounds reasonable.. usually it's something like sdd1 but you can make a file system on a single drive if you really want to [20:07] shiznebit: can the network manager sugest pptp as an option when you try to add a vpn [20:07] just out of interest, is anyone else here 12 or under? [20:07] when i reboot two pc with Linux y dont have conection with Internet [20:07] If I remember correctly I mount it with fstab I thought even when It goes in standby it will get the drives name back when I ask data from that drive [20:07] eleite: sdd is the whole drive, sdd1 would be the first partition on the sdd drive [20:07] mzz: alright, I'm hoping it doesn't go to that because the recovery software is running in my session [20:07] slart: well all i need to do is paste a log file into the flashdrive so i can show it to someone online via pastebin [20:08] efjc: too be frank, i have my PPTP [20:08] I have teh same problem capoeira does, cept that my connection doesnt work well [20:08] tones: mentally? or.. [20:08] *has [20:08] paul68: I have no experience with usb devices going "in standby" if that means more than just spinning down. Tried remounting the device? [20:08] eleite: it doesn't show up in nautilus? [20:08] Aceback:try updating through the terminal.For the sites,maybe the connection isnt so good.You know how small google.com page is and their cache-technology.maybe your ISP might explain further.how long has this been? [20:08] Slart: works for me :) [20:08] spinning down flashdrive? :) [20:08] Slart: just wondering if im too smart for my age... [20:08] h00k__: don't hit this yet either, but sometimes ctrl+alt+f1 still works too. And if you have a second system and sshd running you can ssh in [20:09] tones: yes, definately.. way to smart [20:09] slart: what's nautilus? heh. [20:09] see.. I can't even spell correctly.. [20:09] Slart: good to know :D [20:09] mzz: I don't have sshd running, i thought about that, too, I also can't get to any other TTY'sm [20:09] , [20:09] nmvictor: happens always, I've tried to update via terminal yet nothing happened. It attempted to reconnect many times as every attempt ended in a failure [20:09] eleite: nautilus is the file browser thingy in gnome.. [20:09] Alright, th0r, I reset to factory defaults, forgot the username, and had to call the ISP. can you get to it now? [20:09] eleite: the program you use to see the files on your hard drives [20:09] i'm having a problem with a kernel module. if i just insmod it first, i get this error: "insmod: error inserting 'it87.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module" When i go to modprobe it i get this: " FATAL: Error inserting it87 (/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko): No such device" however if i then insmod it again, everything works. Whats going on? [20:09] which is the lightest distro based on ubuntu? [20:10] mzz: I think I might be screwed. [20:10] slart: ah, well i'm doing all this because my X isn't starting up. im getting "no devices found". [20:10] BrightEyes` xubuntu? [20:10] BrightEyes`: xubuntu is pretty light.. not sure if it's the lightest [20:10] slart: it happened after i used the update manager to install the latest vesa drivers, now i cant get into x [20:10] mzz: tried that but drive can't be found [20:10] eleite: oohh.. I see.. then you won't be able to run nautilus.. sorry [20:10] eleite: have you tried using xfix? [20:10] paul68: its name might have changed. Check dmesg. [20:11] mzz: trying to find what the name of the drive linux gave to this drive now [20:11] http://www.neobux.com/?rh=68656E726971756539303030 [20:11] try init 1 [20:11] evantandersen: im running xubuntu now but i want something lighter [20:11] how can I edit the compiz configurtation file manually? where is it located? [20:11] fix zhe xwindow [20:11] So, I've been running a task for the past week to recover my data from an external drive. I decided to play Americas Army and my system appears frozen. Is there a kernel shortcut to kill the current running task (alt+f4 isn't responsive)? I'd like to avoid rebooting if I can. [20:11] evantandersen: yea i tried it when running in recover mode, didn't seem to fix it [20:11] Hey anyone using the CPU frequency gnome applets? For some reason the 'ondemand' setting doesn't work... even if i run cpu eating programs they stay at 50% frequency :( [20:11] evantandersen: is there another way to run xfix? [20:11] BrightEyes` well, there is puppy dog linux, but it's not based off ubuntu. [20:11] works [20:11] -_- [20:11] Etanol: worked? [20:12] eleite yes but same result would occur, so no point [20:12] h00k__: not sure what you can do with the REISUB thingy.. google for REISUB for more info [20:12] Etanol: cool [20:12] I inserted the grub cd again [20:12] and it fixed the mbr [20:12] evantandersen: well puppy is for too old pcs [20:12] Etanol: oh ok [20:12] hax [20:12] BrightEyes`: why not try the server version and add something like ... fluxbox [20:12] Etanol: forgot about that :D [20:12] Slart: yeah, would probably work but I'd like to avoid rebooting [20:12] i tryed to install Compiz-Fusion but its not working with me [20:12] Slart: well i dont know [20:12] Anyone have any experience with Cedega? [20:12] BrightEyes`: maybe you could install xubuntu, remove xfce and install flubox or similar. Xfce is really that lightweight of a Window Manager [20:12] tones: if I change the grub config, will the changes reflect the next time I boot? [20:12] kOOk__ wait it out? [20:13] h00k__: yes.. I was more thinking about there possibly being other letters to press for killing processes [20:13] is there anyway to save a file if im not root...i have made changes to this file that i don't want to loose.... [20:13] efjc: thanks for your help, i think i have sorted it out :) [20:13] if you change /boot/grub/menu.lst, yes [20:13] any other distros that have apt installed? [20:13] Etanol: if you change /boot/grub/menu.lst, yes [20:13] shadow98: save it in your home folder [20:13] hook__:kill O will kill everything except shell,but i dont know if its a safe command,here what others have to say about it first [20:13] shadow98: then move it as root to the right place [20:13] well, debian has apt obviously [20:13] Slart, how do you tell it where to save it...im used to just doing :x! [20:13] tones: so what fixed a secound boot of supergrub disk? [20:13] shadow98, save it some where else then copy it as root [20:13] how do I set up the ctrl-alt-backspace shortcut again, and why was it removed in the first place? === gary_ is now known as gsteinert [20:14] shadow98: oh.. in vim.. isn't there a built-in help function? vim always scared me.. never quite got the hang of it [20:14] my box hangs once i open any video file. What could be the reason [20:14] so do you just go :x!/home/username/ [20:14] sacarlson: Etanol just used the grub cd prompt to install grub agin instead. [20:14] !dontzap [20:14] 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 ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [20:14] shadow98: write in the name when you press Control - x, don't just immeadiy press enter, change the path first [20:14] lakotajames: So, people didn't accidentally use it. [20:14] lakotajames: upstream thinks its easy to hit by accident [20:14] now i've copied my log file to where i mounted the device "/mnt". it's not letting me umount it. says device is busy? [20:14] thanks for the help guys [20:15] eleite: cd out of that directory (that's often it) [20:15] really appreciate it :) [20:15] maco: how the hell do you hit that accidently? [20:15] eleite, man lsof [20:15] lakotajames: I've managed it! [20:15] mzz: that worked thanks [20:15] mzz:what were you trying to hit at the time? [20:15] I have a sound issue in Ubuntu 8.04. I can play an mp3 file in an audio player, and it looks like it's playing, but I hear no sound. Can someone please help me? [20:15] hey, im having trouble with my ethernet connection on my netbook [20:15] got connectivity problem with 9.04 :( [20:15] lakotajames: got my brain/fingers crossed when hitting alt+backspace (kill word before cursor) and some other command involving ctrl [20:15] Ljorring: are you using pulseaudio? [20:16] eleite, you could do something like lsof | grep /mnt [20:16] Slart: no, I have tried installing it without any luck [20:16] eleite, it will tell you what is making the device be busy [20:16] mzz: I guess that makes sense. so how do I get it back? [20:16] i can't i still can't figure out how in vi to save to different location.. [20:16] Ljorring: installing it? it's installed by default === d^-^b is now known as d^-^b_[bath] [20:16] shadow98, :s /home//filename [20:16] lakotajames: use the dontzap utility (and probably log out and back in) as mentioned above [20:16] hellp [20:16] i had the device in ifconfig, but took it down because it was interfering with my wireless connection [20:16] shadow98: can't you press :? to get help? [20:17] now it wont show in ifconfig or lshw [20:17] jdu: thanks judo. it worked out. now ive gotta do it all over again because w/e filesystem it's formatted to, my mac cant read [20:17] shadow98, sorry :w ... [20:17] uhm hello [20:17] Slart: I have upgraded to 8.04 from 7. I think I have it removed atm using ALSA instead [20:17] i tried :help didn't say [20:17] hi [20:17] shadow98: [20:17] is their anyway to mount something specifying only sectors? I accedentially reformatted my external HD with the format button in the usb-creator program, but my drive shows up as unformatted. I have a ~140GB encrypted partion squezzed bewteen 2 normal partions, and i need to get that encrypted partion back. [20:17] Ljorring: well.. then I don't know what to do.. alsa and I were never on friendly terms [20:17] still keeps telling me it cannot open file for writing.. [20:17] shadearg: just use :w *path* [20:17] tones: yes [20:17] I am trying to seed a torrent i downloaded but the program I use is not uploading at all do you think there might be a problem with my ip tables?

[20:37] hi, i googled by dynex dx-busb wireless adapter card and i realize that it has terrible support by dynex on linux. i do know that it is a broadcom driver though, which was recently released here: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php . all the tutorials i am reading are referencing something called 'wl' and 'ssb' which don't mean anythign for me. i compiled the driver that broadcom has on their website, but, i'm not sure how [20:37] tsrk: youcould try setting the resolution manually with xrandr or you can look in the the menu of gnome for screenresollution to change them there. i guess for gnome to recognize the native resolution of your screen, the screen has already to be plugged in when x starts [20:37] why my computer started to slow when I check for badblocks [20:37] mzz, i dont know if its copying it all over again, even its its not, which it shouldnt be cuz nothing is new/changed, its goin though them all , slowly. [20:37] Slart: Yeah, they pull files with arbitrary names, I'd like to see if I can keep my directory structure [20:37] i need some help... i have an imac g3 and i just recently installed ubuntu 8.04 on it. it booots up fine but when it starts to take me to the desktop the screen goes blank... some kind of display issue... now i dont know if any of u know but imacs use a different boot loader its called yaboot and i dont know how configure the display using yaboot so if someone could please help me.. that be awesome. [20:37] Slart, actually, what would be best is to have them set up as side-by-side screens with different resolutions, because I'm going to be doing presentations with a projector, so I still need to be able to use the laptop screen. I got them set up as side-by-side, but the maximum resolution for the monitor was the same as the max resolution for the netbook. [20:37] I've checked badblocks in the command line but it does nothing [20:37] deany: again, *check* if it is actually copying (if you're not familiar with what the output should look like the easiest way is to wait for the summary, or rerun it twice on a much smaller set of data so you can get at the summary faster) [20:38] I check badblocks on dev/sda1 [20:38] deany: I suspect the resolution of timestamps between the two filesystems is different and you need - [20:38] err [20:38] Has any one had problems with ext4 stability? [20:38] tsrk: that's probably because it still thinks of the laptop screen as the primary screen.. if you put the external monitor as the primary screen you'll be limited by that resolution.. which might be more or less suitable for the laptop screen [20:38] deany: I suspect the resolution of timestamps between the two filesystems is different and you need --modify-window, but *check* if it's actually transferring everything again or if it's slow for some other reason [20:38] Why is every text at my irc the same colour and type? [20:38] it's kinda hard to see who is writting [20:38] :s [20:39] tsrk: I haven't actually played around with this a lot.. but I think that's the only way to have the same image on both screens [20:39] Slart, that resolution wouldn't work for the laptop [20:39] Slart, side-by-side is better though [20:39] tsrk: that might work with both screens using their own resolution [20:39] I have a sound issue with my Ubuntu 8.04 installation on a x61s laptop.

[21:14] I don't need help, nore I have a solution. just whant to say this: Java on Ubuntu 64bit it's a joke. Same for ice plugin. Windows 98 was bugfree compare to this [21:14] !ask | master [21:14] master: 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. :-) [21:14] anyone know why inserting any media into my Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173A causes ubuntu to freeze and force a reboot [21:14] Should I use apt-get to install wine? or should I download it from winehq [21:14] which would be better for me? [21:14] Artelus, use apt-get or synaptic [21:14] MADE IT! Gah people ask like linux is a breeze these days. I will say it is 10000x better then before. [21:14] need help with clearing my old sun-java6-jre package its broken.. I did update clean & nothing can remove it becasue of the error [21:14] Artelus: I'd advise installing using apt/synaptic/aptitude [21:14] Artelus: if you use apt-get, when a new version hits the repository it will be automatically updated. [21:14] Artelus: apt-get/aptitude because it's better to use the repositories for your distro [21:14] I cannot use synaptic becasue of teh error [21:14] Artelus, I would just use aptitude :) [21:14] i have pb with .mid extension [21:14] my core duo 2 laptop does not support booting from an sd card. is there a way to configure grub to boot from the sd card (perhaps with extra software) like you do on an old laptop whose bios does not support booting from CD by configuring grub with a little help from smartbootmanager?

I can't get embedded wmp files (asx) to stream properly. I tried mplayer and totem and neither would work. Finally installed the mozilla-vlc package and that made it work, but vlc sucks because it doesnt have controls to fastforward and such. [21:16] can help me [21:16] can you install Adobe Air using Apt-get or synaptic? I can't find the package. Am I missing a repository? [21:16] AustinS: really?

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [21:18] password [21:18] hello [21:18] hi did I say that my computer is frozen [21:18] master: to quote Gho: When you ask one question over many many many lines, it gets broken up and hard to read as other text is interspersed throughout your question. That is why we ask you to put your complete question/problem on one line. [21:18] so whats mounting my DVD-ROM in jaunty ? [21:18] hi did I mention that I need help? [21:18] its automatic [21:18] !ask | Linuz2009 [21:18] Linuz2009: 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. :-) [21:18] open your computer & on left you can see teh drives just click or double click to mount them [21:18] hello [21:18] AustinS: when fullscreen, I get a draggable 'progress bar' for a video onscreen. When windowed, there's one in the main VLC window. [21:19] Hey everyone, quick question. I'm trying to set up dual-monitor in Ubuntu 9.04 on an older PC; an Nvidia Geforce3 AGP graphics card on primary, and an 8MB ATI graphics card on PCI. Can these two coexist in ubuntu and work together, or no? [21:19] Gho, Even on embedded wmp videos in Firefox? [21:19] Soul_Shadow: the reason I ask, is because inserting a CD or DVD into that drive.. causes ubuntu to crash [21:19] any one help me to remove my password plz [21:19] Linuz2009, you haven't supplied any information for people to work with, not even a decent explanation of what happens. What do the logs say? What error messages to you get? When exactly does the problem occur. [21:19] ooohh ok tehn you might have a cd-rom issue you try replace it? [21:19] comment allez vous???? [21:19] this sounds like a hardware issue [21:19] AustinS: AH, that's the part I missed. I don't watch a lot of embedded media [21:19] IF anyone going to answer me then the question I had to ask is my computer is frozen and I can't check my file system for bad block [21:19] not yet, thinking about it [21:19] !fr | dom_ [21:19] dom_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[21:20] hhp2k1, without knowing better.. my first guess would be No. It would mean installing two X servers, and two generally don't coexist well. [21:20] Soul_Shadow: do you have Synaptic or the Update manager open at the same time? [21:20] How can I show file sizes in terminal window using ls command? [21:20] AustinS: ls -h [21:20] Stupendoussteve: thanks [21:20] nope ther eall closed I restarted pc befoer I tried purge [21:20] AustinS: type man ls in the terminal to see all of its options [21:21] AustinS: ls -lh that is [21:21] Yondering: Thank you. Installing two X Servers, is it possible though? [21:21] h00k: good idea. Need to remember that more often [21:21] Soul_Shadow: indeed; are thre any other indications of something going pear-shaped before that one line? Could you pastebin the output of your apt-get --purge command? [21:21] :| [21:21] ok hold on [21:21] AustinS: you can view the man (manual) page for commands by doing man 'command' to show all possible options and documentation [21:22] I have the adobe Air bin file sitting on my desktop. I can't just open it and I tried ./AdobeAirInstaller.bin and it says no such file or dir [21:22] hi, i'm trying to rescue a dodgy grub setup on a laptop with an encrypted partition from a live cd. my plan was to access the encrypted volume using cryptsetup, chroot into it and run grub from there to fix it. My problem is that cryptsetup is returning "could not access the device" on a luksOpen even though luksDump looks fine. Any thoughts? many thanks. [21:22] whats a good ati ? anyone ? :) .. pls..:S ? [21:22] AustinS: Did you cd to Desktop first? [21:22] AustinS: try ~/Desktop/AdobeAirInstaller.bin [21:22] hhp2k1, as far as I know, you can install as many as you want.. using more than one at a time though, I doubt it. [21:22] ya, I think it was a case problem [21:22] AIR had to be capitalized [21:22] Tab completion is your friend :) [21:22] http://pastebin.com/m4cd163bc ehre is my entier error list [21:23] seriously, I love that about linux, need to get used to it.

[21:24] Well Gho if I could install it I would not be trying to remove it [21:24] I cannot get it to install I need 2 purge teh crap before I can install it... [21:25] Soul_Shadow: what happens when you try apt-get --reinstall install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin ? [21:25] thank you but praplam dont fixed [21:25] Yondering: Unfortunately, the only hardware I have is ALL old, so I would need to invest about $500 in a fully new PC. :P That's my issue right now.

[21:28] :P [21:28] Soul_Shadow: indeed, that's not a GUI- tab, then enter (or space) is what you ened to do :) [21:28] Yondering: Forgot about newegg. *bookmarks* You're awesome! === edson is now known as edsoncanto [21:28] Soul_Shadow: that'll be $8.00 ;) [21:29] hhp2k1, curious, what qualifies as "old"? and what are you using this box for anyway?

[21:31] ..how? o.o [21:31] Adobe Air wants to install an application in "/op1" is this correct? Where are apps normally stored? [21:31] hhp2k1: As long as you're not planning to play Half-Life 2 or FEAR on it, you should be fine ;) [21:31] hhp2k1, ballpark, anyway.. I bet you can find something nicer if you dig. [21:31] hhp2k1: I'd expect doubling the ram to make a noticable difference, if you can find ram that fits [21:31] Queen shoot wine & just install windows seperate from linux [21:31] QueenInfamous, google for WineHQ+Warcraft [21:31] zeroxten2: sure I got thoughts :-), but I have no idea what your problem is [21:31] AustinS: /op1 or /opt? [21:31] Gho: let me copy and paste, tiny weird font [21:31] mzz: yeah, 2 512 or 1GB sticks would boost it significantly. It's the USB1.1 that kills me, lol. [21:31] Gho: "/opt" [21:31] Soul_Shadow, i don't know how to install windows:D [21:31] me neither... no useful error whatsoever [21:32] AustinS: /opt is.. infrequently used, but it's not unheard of. [21:32] Yondering: Well thank you for pointing me in the right direction :D [21:32] LLLool [21:32] hhp2k1: that's fixable, I think (there are pci cards out there that add usb ports) [21:32] put in disk & follow instructions lmfao [21:32] Gho: I just want two monitors, haha. [21:32] Gho: where are apps normally /bin or something? [21:32] Gho: usr/bin maybe? [21:32] Soul_Shadow, that's too big of a deal [21:32] when u come to partition manager just make a seperate partition for ntfs [21:32] can't I just emulate it? [21:32] mzz: This is true. I might pick one of those up too ... they're rather cheap, I believe. [21:32] you can use the linux cd to do that [21:33] hhp2k1: I'd expect them to be, but haven't needed one === bruno is now known as Guest26900 [21:33] resize your Hd partition & leave teh other partition blank [21:33] mzz: Expectantly :P I don't think there's a single person in here running lower-specced hardware than me [21:33] Queen teh nyou shouold not be on linux [21:33] mzz: Though I wouldn't expect to be surprised [21:33] zeroxten2: I didn't want to tease you - what *was* your question? [21:33] AustinS: most things end up under /usr or /usr/local, some some use /opt (optional software) as some older UNIX systems didn't have /usr/local [21:33] heh [21:33] hi, i'm trying to rescue a dodgy grub setup on a laptop with an encrypted partition from a live cd. my plan was to access the encrypted volume using cryptsetup, chroot into it and run grub from there to fix it. My problem is that cryptsetup is returning "could not access the device" on a luksOpen even though luksDump looks fine. Any thoughts? many thanks. [21:33] AustinS: it's a legacy thing [21:33] Queen if you cannot handle somthing simple as installing windows U do not belong on linux ... [21:33] sorry I was out did any one answer my question? [21:34] ANYONE? [21:34] lawl,do you hate me or something? [21:34] hhp2k1: my primary system isn't *that* fast by modern standards either, although faster than yours [21:34] Soul_Shadow: "do not belong on linux"? what the hell are you talking about? [21:34] Linuz2009: You can't possibly expect us to answer your question if you ask it and then leave. :| [21:34] hello can somebody say how i can write in the chat to one single person? [21:34] zeroxten2: sorry, no help from me there ;-( [21:34] No queen I am just honest.. you need to learn windows & how to do commands [21:34] no worries [21:34] linux is way above your ability's [21:34] alina: /msg Person message goes here [21:34] hhp2k1: (athlon xp 2600+, 1280MiB of ram, radeon 9600xt for video) [21:35] !who | alina [21:35] alina: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[21:35] edson: There's a town in Alberta, Canada named after you. === edson is now known as ecanto [21:36] hhp2k1: upgrading the ram from 512MiB to 1280MiB really helped multitasking-wise. Running a browser with a bunch of tabs tends to eat up 200MiB or so, so there's not that much room left with 512 total. [21:36] hhp2k1, look for something from a prominent hardware vendor.. couple more I'd recommend looking at.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150107 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121260 [21:36] no. it doesn't but that person could leave a note next time [21:36] hhp2k1: well, not quite 200MiB, but still [21:36] so again [21:36] unop: well, the channel is logged, so the questioner could read the log later to look for an answer. [21:36] mzz: Not quite, but close. :P [21:36] nadan_, ntfs support is provided by a loadable kernel module .. try providing the filesystem type to mount there. [21:37] ok guys gotta go now, computer about to be restarted by Jaunty [21:37] anyone need computer help [21:37] thanks and bye [21:37] hhp2k1: other specs don't matter as much as long as you're a bit patient and know how to use "nice" on long-running tasks [21:37] Yondering: The first one is nice - I've got converters for DVI ports from other PC builds.

[21:43] well I still don't admit that its funny [21:43] had to try [21:43] tneyrpo, no [21:43] nowth: whats the issue? [21:43] can't ssh in anymore [21:43] Slasher`: google for forkbomb [21:43] tneyrpo: can bring the system to a grinding halt if it doesn't have a limit on the number of processes per user [21:43] Slasher`: it's a recursive forking process [21:43] so anyone is willing to answer my question [21:44] tneyrpo, it's a fork bomb.. it only stops when there are no more ram left or inodes [21:44] does it use 100% cpu as well or anything like that? [21:44] tneyrpo: yep [21:44] tneyrpo, which brings the system to its knees [21:44] ahh i see, just curious, thanks Slart and Gho [21:44] basically, is it safe to leave it running until tomorrow morning? [21:44] tneyrpo, it never stops ;) [21:44] otherwise i'd have to drive to the university right now and reboot the machine [21:44] tneyrpo: it probably won't kill anything.. but the computer might be unusable [21:45] no problem [21:45] tneyrpo: the cpu usage is not much of a problem though. Problem is it's exponentially spawning more processes, and they all need a bit of ram to run. So it tends to thrash to a halt swapping bazillions of processes in and out. [21:45] tneyrpo, I'd go for a ride if it was me [21:45] tneyrpo: it's just a useless program that tries to run itself a gazillion times [21:45] Awesome, found a second PCI ATI card. let's see if I can get this puppy rolling. [21:45] it's not an important server [21:45] tneyrpo: or just reboot gracefully while you still can [21:45] jussi01, I *can* resume from Suspend-to-RAM, but the screen now remains dead on TTY1-6. I can type there, run commands and everything, an X comes back up, too. [21:45] BRB everyone! [21:45] Hi, my computer had this long humming sound and I want to know what does that mean, I know my CPU is pretty averaged and my memory had used more than half [21:45] * hhp2k1 blasts off into the realm of dusty old hardware heaven [21:45] nowth: which gfx card? [21:45] gazillions.. bazillion.. my bad ;) [21:45] geforce 7950 GT [21:45] tneyrpo: if you can still log in you can probably find a way to kill the problematic processes, although that's also a bit annoying because they're all bash [21:46] the problem doesn't require me to start X [21:46] where can someone upload a screenshot for a temp url easily? [21:46] Linuz2009: is the hum perhaps coming from one of your fans? [21:46] c0ntract0r: imagebin [21:46] Gho: it is. [21:46] ok, guess i should have tried it in a VM first. thanks for your help :) [21:46] Linuz2009: Well, if the humming noise is coming from your fan, it's not a software problem- you just have a noisy fan [21:46] I now have java thx all for ur help [21:47] Soul_Shadow: \o/ my pleasure [21:47] jussi: when I can boot into a console and never start X, I still have same problem. [21:47] Gho: the light is constantly blink so rapidly that its like a light now [21:47] Linuz2009: your fan has a.. light on it? [21:47] ok guess not [21:47] Gho: mine does, too [21:47] I need firefox plugin now :P [21:47] tneyrpo: Now you know not to run unknown commands on a production envirnoment [21:47] how do i load a module? lmod | grep ntfs doesn't come up with nething [21:48] lsmod rather [21:48] is it sun-java-plugin?? the package? [21:48] Gho: No, the cylinder symbol on a laptop [21:48] nadan_: modprobe ... [21:48] does anyone know if there's a way to get samba not to work like crap on ubuntu server 8.04? [21:48] Gho: you know what I mean, its like telling you how busy it is. [21:48] Linuz2009: when you said the humming noise was coming from a fan, I apparently made a bad assumtion that the noise was in fact coming from a fan. Perhaps I had bad information. [21:49] lolz at the fact that my computer doesn't have modprobe i thought that was it :-\ [21:49] Hey gho u know what package name for firefox java plugin is?? [21:49] Gho: well fan is inside my PC and a fan is a another physical device [21:50] Linuz2009: no, it's simply telling you when the hard drive is being accessed. [21:50] Soul_Shadow: sun-java6-plugin :) [21:50] thx I just found it :P [21:50] Linuz2009: nothing to do with fans, or for that matter nothing intrinsically to do with business (although it's likely that when your computer is very, very busy, your hard drive will get a lot of use) [21:50] LjL: then why the cylinder symbol is a light now? [21:51] LjL: it suppose to blink [21:51] Linuz2009: because something's accessing your hard drive [21:51] Linuz2009: because the hard drive is being used all the time. [21:51] Gho: then what should I do, my computer are getting slower [21:52] whats the problem linuz2009 [21:52] jake: cylinder symbol on my laptop is a light now and instead of blinking. [21:52] jake: someone told me that something is accessing my hard drive [21:53] Linuz2009: I'd look into what programs you have running that might be indexing your hard drive [21:53] hey friends [21:53] Hi i'm having some problems after resizing a partition. 'parted' and 'df -h' show a diffent size. http://pastebin.com/m19236235 Can anyone help me out? [21:53] jake: and its causing this fan humming [21:53] Is there a tool for renaming filenames so they can be moved to a flash drive? [21:53] eugman: why do they need to be renamed? [21:53] Gho: yeah? [21:54] ciao a tutti [21:54] Linuz2009: are you on jaunty? [21:54] !it | stillfree [21:54] stillfree: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [21:54] I'd like to somebody to confirm a Compiz bug for me. 1.Run gedit with two tabs running 2. enter the compiz 'scale' effect 3. while in scale effect close gedit by clicking mouse3 on it. Compiz should crash. [21:54] Linuz2009: If your hard drive is being accessed constantly, it may cause it to run hotter, which in turn will cause your comptuer to turn up some fans. This is normal. [21:54] hi!!!! [21:54] Gho: then what cause my computer to freeze? [21:55] if somebody finds the bug, im filing it on launchpad [21:55] OK I need help I have java all installed but it shows up white screen & I know the game works [21:55] guntbert: yes [21:55] chaosphere: did you grow the partition, and was the size in df before equal to what it is now? [21:55] Soul_Shadow: sometime Java apps take a while to initialize, especially if Java's not yet been run on that system. Give it a couple minutes. [21:56] mzz: yes you are right. I grew it for about 3gig [21:56] Do I need any type of virus protection or any other security stuff? I have Adblock+ and Better Privacy for Firefox. Is anything else really necessary? [21:56] !virus [21:56] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [21:56] possible I need 2 restart os? [21:56] Linuz2009: I killed my tracker applet because of max cpu use, there seems to be a problem (like "index corrupt") [21:56] LjL: It didn't specify what was wring but i tried copying over some files and it said invalid filename. They have names like eng-301-podcast-2259-215494.mp3 [21:56] AustinS: if you are not behind a firewalling router, you might consider a firewall [21:56] whats a good ati to game ? anyone ? [21:56] dreamy: ati to game ? [21:56] guntbert: my CPU is not maxed [21:56] eugman: no idea why those would be invalid... [21:56] chaosphere: sounds like for some reason the partition was resized but the filesystem on it wasn't. I'd expect unmounting the partition and running "resize2fs /dev/sda2" to help (but back up your data first, etc) [21:57] i good ati.. that i can buy.. to game :) [21:57] LjL: is firewall not on by default? How do I configure a firewall? I am behind a router, but it is a laptop and I travel. [21:57] ikonia [21:57] dreamy: try ##hardware [21:57] !firewall | AustinS [21:57] AustinS: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [21:57] Linuz2009: hwat does system monitor say? === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [21:57] *what [21:57] AustinS: look into ufw and gufw [21:57] awesome, thanks [21:57] ikonia: ty .. no one answered it #ati [21:57] LjL: hmm, maybe it's the foldername then. I'll have to check === mirk_ is now known as mirk [21:57] AustinS: no firewall is on by default, because there are very few open services by default, so if you don't install any services... [21:57] dreamy: #ati is normally for software support only, ##hardware is probably better [21:57] So I'm using 8.10 with an Audigy2 sound card [21:57] ikonia: nice channel [21:57] ikonia: ok.. perfect [21:57] :) === mirk is now known as mirk_ [21:58] Alsa mixer has *always* been a jiant multi channel sound board, but now its just a single volume level [21:58] guntbert: Memory used 56.3% of 488.6MB === mirk_ is now known as mirk [21:58] How can i get the other settings back? [21:58] I'm studying to be an IT Auditor, just finished school, and that is why I am trying to learn my way around linux a little bit better before I start later this month. Security is something I really have to focus on. I've been using linux on and off for about 8 years but never consistently enough to feel really comfortable like I do in Windows. [21:58] guntbert: CPU in the mid 30's - 40's [21:59] Linuz2009: no idea then - but you could still "pause" tracker - see if it helps [21:59] mzz: i was afraid you'll advice me to this. can i do a backup with dd into an image and play it back if something goes wrong? [21:59] guntbert: pause tracker? [21:59] LjL: Ah, it looks like the directory was named poorly. Thanks for stirring my memory. [22:00] ok been least 5 min since last laod java not working any suggestions? everythingis installed.. [22:00] chaosphere: yes (and I must admit I've used resize2fs myself without doing extra backups of partitions involved, although my data files are backed up regularly) [22:00] Soul_Shadow: have you tired to restart Firefox before you tried it? [22:01] mzz: ok i give it a try. Thanks a lot for helping! [22:01] chaosphere: I'm a firm believer in the rule that as long as you make sure you have backups of everything important you'll never need them :) [22:01] yes [22:01] can somebody help me install keepassx, https://launchpad.net/~keepassx/+archive/ppa [22:01] hey. [22:01] first thing I did I also restarted the pc [22:01] i don't know how to install this ppa thing, and the gpg and asc files [22:02] i'm confused [22:02] help undelete [22:02] Soul_Shadow: perhaps try another Java applet to ensure that Java and the plugin are working properly? [22:02] i need some help. my wifi card doesnt work in ubuntu. i have a wmp54gx with ubuntu 9.04 [22:02] how do i install the drivers from this? [22:02] can we undelte deleted documents folder, rm -rf documents ??? [22:03] rizvan: negative [22:03] rizvan: that will delete anything you want [22:03] quizme it's explained here https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#keys?action=show&redirect=PPAKeys [22:03] mzz: yes, but playing around with the root partition can always be a fast way to shoot yourself in your foot. [22:04] So... I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 (actually Linux Mint 6, but whatever) onto a 4G USB drive, and "usb-creator" generated a 3.1GB casper-rw file for persistence. But when I boot into the system, it only shows the size of / as 1009MB, with only 800MB of free space. What's going on? [22:04] !wireless | locodoso (this might help you) [22:04] locodoso (this might help you): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:04] Can I selecet -O2 or -Os from gcc over make? [22:05] I was playing around with find . -iname *.exe -delete [22:05] vcoolio i read it but it's complicated [22:05] actually teh java works to a point in Runscape teh nturns white on laod & stays at loading some crap [22:05] chaosphere: you'll have to do this with the partition unmounted afaik, which means from a livecd if it's / [22:05] then i did locate -i *.pdf|find delete [22:05] hi [22:05] but I been on it in windows & know that it functions [22:05] which deleted every file in my HOME and hung the system [22:05] rizvan: err, "find delete"? [22:05] yup [22:05] vcoolio do i have to have a launch pad login ? [22:05] weird mistake [22:05] !hello | x_ [22:05] x_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:05] mzz: yes that's what i also did for checking the filesystem etc. [22:05] rizvan: that wouldn't have done what you said [22:05] quizme: not that complicated but Iets see. No, no login needed [22:05] Can anyone tell me how to install an equalizer on amarok with 9.04? [22:06] find -delete [22:06] OK I am running a diffrent java applet & I cannot access it either [22:06] find -delete is like find -exec rm {} \; [22:06] rizvan: most likely it would've given you "find: `delete': No such file or directory". If there actually *is* a file or directory called "delete" it would've listed its contents [22:06] everything installedwithout errors so why would my java not function now? [22:06] quizme: first add the repository lines. Open synaptic, go to settings > repositories [22:06] rizvan: ahhh, find -delete, not find delete [22:06] rizvan: I'm pretty sure you wanted "xargs rm", not "find -delete" [22:07] mzz, can we not undelete atleast my Documents directory [22:07] I am so used to double click the top left icon of a window to close it. How in the world can I enable this? I'm trying to break the habit but I can't stop. [22:07] Hello i am running jaunty i edited some x.org thing trying to get my video working and now my laptop won't boot up think it was x.org config please help me [22:07] rizvan: I have zero experience with undelete utilities, sorry [22:07] Linuz2009: I have an applet that looks a bit like a looking glass. It controls "tracker" (it indexes your files to make searches faster) [22:07] vcoolio I added the repository lines. that was easy. [22:07] buntunuby: it won't boot at all, or it just won't boot intoX? [22:07] Can I selecet -O2 or -Os from gcc over make? [22:08] vcoolio i also added the gpg key, but i'm not sure if it's the right one or if i added it the right way [22:08] quizme: then from https://launchpad.net/~keepassx/+archive/ppa click the key 1024R etcetera [22:08] Opitimice code.

[22:09] !ask | alexxx [22:09] alexxx: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:09] quizme: ok, then reload database and find your package and install, if no errors / warnings about keys it's ok [22:09] vcoolio, how do i reload the database?

You could perhaps try installing java5 rather than java6? [22:13] guntbert: yeah, how does this applet help me? [22:13] vcoolio what's the diagnosis doctor? is it fatal?

[23:08] anyways [23:08] * Gho takes a deep breath [23:08] since the add-remove or dpkg had em listed [23:08] IndyGunFreak: don't be a dick to me either [23:08] Soul_Shadow.....reboot the conversation and try again.. [23:08] tweak66, do you know the where windows parition is in relation to your linux ones? [23:08] andres_: that device should have a restricted driver available system/admin/hardware drivers [23:08] Soul_Shadow: I'd like to try on my PC the java app you're having trouble with. Could you share the URL? [23:08] i want to install awesome 3.2.2 on jaunty (repos have 2.x) and im looking at the following page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/awesome/+bug/253985 [23:08] I've tried doing the dget -u --build commands, but i get folders and tarballs, never packages [23:08] ekimmargni: i wasn't, i was politely telly you to mind your own buisness [23:08] Gho its runescape.com [23:08] my usb improperly shut down on windows and now it wont mount in windows or ubuntu is there a way for force the mount in liunx? it doesnt show up in gparted [23:09] Hey, folks. Here's what I want: Boxee running on my TV, controlled by my remote, and my Ubuntu 9.04 machine still accessible through VNC in its own separate session. Is the best way to do that by a) setting up two separate X servers running simultaneously, b) setting up one X server through something akin to Multiseat, or c) running one X server with Boxee in the foreground? [23:09] but I also search free%java%games on google with same issues [23:09] any java applet I use does nto run on java 6 [23:09] wolfmankurd: it's on the same drive just different partition.. only invo i seem to get is /dev/sda5 [23:09] info* [23:10] Gho, I found it... i think [23:10] tweak66, run ls /dev |grep sda to see what partitions you have [23:10] Hi there. After upgrading to jaunty, I can no longer connect to wireless networks with iwconfig ; ifconfig ; dhclient. I can only do so using the network-manager applet, which means I can't log on to wireless when X is not running. [23:10] What gives? [23:11] Everything appears to be working until I do dhclient. Then it just never gets a response. [23:11] a brand new pc new HD multi partition 2 gig ram 256mb video 2.5ghx duel core java6 should be runing I do not understand why its not [23:11] hey guys, i am hagving trouble adding option 120 for SIP servers to my DHCP server? anyone has the dhcpd.conf configuration line? [23:11] wolfmankurd: i have sda to sda5 [23:11] who needs help [23:11] tweak66, okay, do you remember which partitions you made? If you instaleld linux after windows windows is probably on sda1 [23:11] me [23:12] hey!, question, I have ubuntu gutsy, I want to uprade it, but I can't install update-manager-core via apt cause seems like all gutsy packages repos are removed :| how can I upgrade it to ubuntu 8.10 ? [23:12] Soul_Shadow: it's running just fine over here [23:12] IndyGunFreak, yes, I've already installed it, and everything works fine... except by the brightness, I found a tutorial here: file:///home/andres/Desktop/brillo%20-%20este%20si.html but when I write make, it does not seem to do anything and some lines after, it give me another error [23:12] wolfmankurd: i installed wondows after linux :) [23:12] andres_: cant really explain that one. [23:12] Galaxor what is your issue [23:12] wenas [23:12] then WHAT THE FUCK is the apt-get's problem installing & working? [23:12] tweak66, then I would assume you put it on sda5? [23:12] wolfmankurd:i know it's on sda5 because thats my only ntfs system [23:12] makse no sense [23:12] !language | Soul_Shadow [23:12] Soul_Shadow: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:12] tweak66, oh well that makes it all easier! [23:13] Soul_Shadow: i've got no problem w/ yahoo games, which uses Java... so as suggested earlier, the problem is you [23:13] when trying to load my nvidia driver (installed with apt-get install nvidia-glx-180) i'm getting the following error: FATAL: error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko): Invalid module format [23:13] whats going wrong there? [23:13] IndyGunFreak, thank you for answer. I'll keep trying [23:13] IndyGunFreak: ad hominim attacks aren't warranted here. [23:13] jfalvarez:In your position i would find an interpid alternate install CD.their are links to its download in ubuntu homepage,probably, i hope. [23:13] necesito ayuda...Xd [23:13] SO why is it when I downlaod it using apt-get does java6 DOES not function properly? [23:13] Soul_Shadow: I just installed java6 and the plugun, restarted firefox, and the runescape application works perfectly. [23:13] Gho: i'm not ad hominam anything.. he toldm e i didn't know what i was talking about.. there's no way java6 works w/ Jaunty, i'm just telling him he's got no clue...

[23:14] Gho: no need for ad hominem attacks. [23:14] Ok GHO then WHY is mine not working? [23:14] nmvictor: can't is a vps :| [23:14] lol [23:14] brand new freaking pc [23:14] tweak66, if you installed xp after linux, then grub is no longer on the mbr....windows replaced it [23:14] Soul_Shadow: what does "not working" mean [23:14] IndyGunFreak: "The problem is you" is the very definition of an ad hominem attack. Take a breath. [23:14] Gho: wellt he problem is him, when it works for several people, other than him, thats not an attack, thats reality. [23:15] th0r: yes i recovered it. just trying to add windows to the grub menu :) [23:15] Means opisite of working as in Not working [23:15] Soul_Shadow: I'm thinking over here :) [23:15] tweak66, root (hd0,5) [23:15] anyways, it appears he's beginning to accept the fact the problem is him now, not everyone else. [23:15] tweak66, can you get into gnome? [23:15] IndyGunFreak: the problem is not him, it's something with his configuration. ANYwho.. [23:15] ok wolfmankurd i shall try it thank you [23:15] I cannot synaptic it [23:15] I cannot add/remove it [23:15] U-b-u-n-t-u: sda1 is probably the drive you're running ubuntu off of right now. if the drive doesn't show up at all then it might be shot [23:15] Gho: ok.. then HE needs to configure it correctly.. its on his end [23:15] I cannot even Dpkg it.. [23:15] IndyGunFreak: we're working on that. [23:16] Gho: good, but like i said, the problem is him [23:16] ubuntuserver: I can't get my wireless working using ifconfig, iwconfig, and dhclient. [23:16] Only by using network manager. [23:16] Eevee, it isnt shot it improperly shut down in windows [23:16] hey don't you really hate it when an app silently fails to perform a function, without giving you any sort of error message? Seems that exaile tends to do that, with shoutcast streams for instance.. are you seeing such behavior too? [23:16] So I have to be in X to get it to work. [23:16] How do I disable a keyboard shortcut? I seem only to be able to assign them new value. What if I don't want them at all? [23:16] elad`: you can hit escape [23:16] elad`: press backspace iirc [23:16] Soul_Shadow: try this: close all web browsers, and sudo apt-get --reinstall install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-bin [23:17] elad`: oops, yes, backspae [23:17] backspace did it [23:17] Thanks. [23:17] ok this was 3rd time I installedthis :P [23:17] By the way, what's the shortcut for accessing the top menu's drop down lists? [23:17] actually 4th [23:17] (ALT+F1 doesn't work.) [23:17] Soul_Shadow: the difference here is they we're reinstalling all the packages at once :) [23:17] elad`: wfm... weird [23:17] Galaxor: You should be able to use CLI tools to connect to your wireless network. What seems to be the problem? [23:17] Eevee, it isnt shot it improperly shut down in windows and ubuntu is running on sdb [23:17] I did this command ls /dev |grep sda found I have sda and sda1 ...sda wont mount Reason: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? << it was improperly shut down in windows can I force the mount? === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [23:18] elad`: it's in keyboard shortcuts under "Show the panel's main menu" [23:18] well 2nd & 3rd time I did that to fix teh install [23:18] merhabalar [23:18] It works like alt-tab for me.

[23:21] ALT-F1 and ALT-Escape seem to have been taken over by "move between windows", even though the entries for "move between windows" there are set to Disabled or ALT-TAB. [23:21] WTF? [23:21] ill try [23:21] FAILED [23:21] elad`: are you using Compiz?

Never mind, dicking around with the settings seemed to jolt it back into working. [23:23] hey guys something freaking strange happened just now... [23:23] Gho, thanks :) [23:24] andres_: pkill X [23:24] CIOA! [23:24] Gho, the command went through but nothing changed? [23:24] CIAO! [23:24] andres__: that'll be $8.00 :) [23:24] OK that did not delete the files [23:24] U-b-u-n-t-u: that means it worked.. look in /mnt; you should see the contents of the drive [23:24] andres_: or sudo pkill X as the case might be [23:24] It did nto try re-download teh java packages [23:24] Soul_Shadow: no, that removed them. [23:24] Soul_Shadow: sudo aptitude clean [23:24] Soul_Shadow: that's what 'purge' means. :p [23:24] i wus wondering whut the bash command is to show all my mounted disks and thar locashon in /dev?? [23:24] does anyone know if /etc/init.d/ runscripts start automatically on startup, or are supposed to?

[23:27] did that I try again, I also did apt-get update & try apt-cache ?? whats the command to clear apt-cache? [23:27] Eevee, no no new window [23:27] Gho output was sdb sdb1 sbd2 sbd5 [23:27] deadman: idk, i never did dist upgrades, always from scratch [23:27] it says configuring flashinstaller [23:28] Soul_Shadow, apt-get clean [23:28] U-b-u-n-t-u: that probably also was not your USB stick as that looks like a drive with three partitions on it. try sdc [23:28] did that [23:28] Hi all, I have an issue getting intelfb working on my noteboot (Ubuntu 9.04 x64 with intel 945GM). I've removed the intelfb from the blacklist and added: fbcon, agp, agpgart, intel_agp and intelfb to the modules that need to be loaded. That all followed by a "update-initramfs -u". Now the issue when i reboot with the video=intelfb in gruk i get: "intelfb: cannot acquire agp".... Could someone help me to get this working? Thanx. [23:28] ther is a command 2 clear the cache & its not clean [23:28] its sudo apt-cache ??? [23:29] markg85: its working fine for me w/ 32bit.. [23:29] any ideas how can i move my /home directory to another partition?? [23:29] Gho ls /dev | grep sdc returned nothing [23:29] help please [23:29] IndyGunFreak, how did you set it up? [23:29] th0r [23:29] Soul_Shadow: wait you mean oher than the package cache? [23:29] YES! exactly [23:29] lucax=> cut/past [23:29] it looks like if a file is in rc5.d and starts with an S it is a startup script that is symbolically linked to an /etc/init.d runscript [23:29] *paste [23:29] markg85: worked out fo the box.. no probs.. 3D didn't work, but I was told to enable proposed updates in the repositories.. i did, and when i updated, it updated the intel driver and it worked fine [23:30] bonobo: that would not work... [23:30] lucax: if you want to use some other partition as /home, boot from a live cd and edit the /etc/fstab on your current / so that the /home line points to the right place [23:30] Soul_Shadow: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archive/*deb [23:30] IndyGunFreak, oing to test that now. [23:30] lucax, first mount the second partition to a temp location, then copy all user folders from /home to the new partition. Then edit grubs menu.lst to automatically mount the new partition to /home [23:30] i started to upgrade my system to 9.04... things downloaded... when it was installing the upgrades... it got stuck at a point where it says configuring flash-plugininstaller.... it says 5 minutes remaining... please help what should i do? [23:30] Anybody know how to enable transperency on Konsole? [23:30] mjm52, ? [23:30] th0r: thats nothing to do with GRUB [23:30] no the package casche is what I ened 2 clear Apt-cache commandhere <--- [23:30] Is the MS_WIN key, which is present on practically any non-mac keyboard these days, ignored by linux? [23:30] IndyGunFreak, just out of curiosity.. Where did you read that? [23:31] cache* [23:31] maco, right...my bad...fstab [23:31] Soul_Shadow: 'apt-get clean' clears the package cache. [23:31] Soul_Shadow, apt-get clean [23:31] Soul_Shadow: apt-get clean clears the package cache, the directory in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [23:31] markg85: honestly, i don't know.. its on my laptop.. but i read it somewhere, and it worked fine when i tried it. [23:31] It does not clear everything thats my point [23:31] i am using cable modem , amule test shows me error,how can i fix it to successfull? [23:31] Soul_Shadow: thre's also apt-get autoclean which clears everythign except newest versions of stuff [23:31] IndyGunFreak, and widescreen resolutions also work fine? [23:31] Soul_Shadow: what's it leabing? [23:31] *leaving? [23:31] Soul_Shadow, it clears everything from the cache [23:31] ther is a apt-cache command I am not getting it to download teh java packages [23:31] markg85: well, its not a widescreen laptop, so i've never tried them [23:32] Soul_Shadow: ok so you want to refresh the package lists? [23:32] Soul_Shadow: that's just apt-get update [23:32] IndyGunFreak, ^_^ [23:32] Soul_Shadow: apt-cache is used to search the cache; that's ALL it does [23:32] Maco stop talking [23:32] Soul_Shadow: http://pastebin.com/f5e8bcbe1 [23:32] Gho, and the unmount command didnt unmount /mnt [23:32] U-b-u-n-t-u: not unmount; umount [23:32] aha! [23:32] lol [23:32] elad`. my winkey is Mod4 on linux. It's like an extra alt. On a new machine I'm installing today, I've set my right winkey to be altgr and my context menu key to be compose.. so I can type little Euro symbols and stuff. [23:32] Soul_Shadow: it seems that everyone who tries to entertain communication with you ends up abruptly stopping it. perhaps the problem is on your side? [23:33] U-b-u-n-t-u: The POSIX people had an apparent aversion to vowels :) [23:33] elad`, some programs are set up to use mod4 + some key by default--it's useful! [23:33] =) [23:33] elad`: no, I use the windows key (super, actually) all the time. and in fact I have a mac keyboard! [23:34] Gho, there's a reason for all the commands missing a letter or two :) [23:34] I'd set it to use some more of the shortcuts that are available on Windows, myself. Win+D for Show Desktop, Win+L for locking the screen, etc. [23:34] LjL: well given that s/he tells us to stop helping... [23:34] Gho, I had this problem once before windows shutdown the usb drive improperly and I was able to just reboot windows and the drive came up but not this time so I thought maybe since ubuntu is better with mounting etc it could force a reset? [23:34] oh fuck!! [23:34] 3 ppl ignored.. someone HERE told me a command using apt-cache to clear it I remember this but frgot exact command [23:34] !language | DEA7H [23:34] DEA7H: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:34] IndyGunFreak, the only intel related update is: xserver-xorg-video-intel... i don't see how that can fix something at boot... [23:34] oh he left thats why [23:35] DEA7H: sorry, was aiming for someone who parted [23:35] Soul_Shadow: apt-cache does not have any sort of functionality to modift the cache. All it can to is sort throug it for you [23:35] Deadman |!language [23:35] markg85: all i know, is when i updated, it worked fine.. but as i said earlier, i use 32bit, not 65 [23:35] Deadman | !language [23:35] *64 [23:35] Soul_Shadow: not how it works, and he already parted [23:35] Soul_Shadow: to clear the package cache, the command to use, as many people here have told you, is 'apt-get clean' From the manual: http://pastebin.com/f5e8bcbe1 [23:35] IndyGunFreak, oke. gonna take the gamble and update :P === faby is now known as change [23:35] Eevee, is Super the same as mod4? [23:35] markg85: get your fire extinguisher.. ;) [23:35] Sebboh: yes, not sure why gnome doesn't just call it super [23:36] Whatever u say... funny I did it before.. [23:36] Soul_Shadow: since youre saying that you arent seeing certain packages available to install, it sounds like you dont want to clear the package cache, but rather refresh the apt cache, and that is "apt-get update" [23:36] Ok so is thar a way to find say /dev/sdb1 in the format of (hd0,0) ?? [23:36] What's with anglo-saxons and the word "fuck"? I doubt you'd object as loudly to the use of "damn". What's the difference? [23:36] Gho when I sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/ ....... I get mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /mnt/ busy << could this be the partition? [23:36] elad`: it's a much stronger, and this less acceptable, expletive. [23:36] IndyGunFreak, yea, i will need it to cool me down when this breaks my boot resulting in a reinstall :P [23:37] synapse: if you're booting off of sda1, that's most likely (hd1,0) -- it's the drive number followed by partition number, starting from zero [23:37] markg85: lol, like i said, it worked fine on 32bit.. not sure how it would go on 64 [23:37] U-b-u-n-t-u: you generally wouldn't mount an entire block device but a partition [23:37] Eevee, awesome (window manager) refers to it as mod4, too. [23:37] U-b-u-n-t-u: are you currently in the /mnt/ directory? if so, 'cd /' and then 'sudo umount /mnt' [23:37] Eevee, the partition number is one off from the /dev number [23:37] Eevee, you mean (hd0,1) [23:37] Gho, I am in the /home/me [23:37] IndyGunFreak, updating now. Where did you set the resolution? in menu.lst or in the modues file where intelfb is loaded [23:37] er. I do? [23:38] Gho, and /mnt has nothing in it [23:38] U-b-u-n-t-u: then it was already unmounted :p [23:38] Eevee, sda1 would be hd0,0 I believe [23:38] why is it so difficult to set up wireless for ubuntu!! [23:38] he said sdb1 [23:38] markg85: again, i don't use widescreen, but when I went to sys/pref/display, my preferred res was there [23:38] elad`, in America 'fuck' is banned from TV most of the time, but 'damn' isn't. I guess 'damn' is in the Bible or some such cruft. [23:38] Gho right I want to try to mount sda since sda1 worked [23:38] Eevee, (hd1,1) then [23:38] !offtopic | Sebboh, elad` [23:38] Sebboh, elad`: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:38] Gho when I sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/ ....... I get mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /mnt/ busy << could this be the partition? [23:38] Eevee, sdb1 would be hd1,0 I think [23:38] usser: I thought grub counted partitions from 0 [23:38] Eevee, err no you're right [23:38] IndyGunFreak, oke. thanx so far, [23:39] Eevee, sorry, been dealing with lots of broken c code that starts arrays from 1 lately ;) [23:39] U-b-u-n-t-u: if you run 'mount' you will probably see that one of the partitions on /dev/sda is already mounted elsewhere [23:39] what?

[23:45] win7 is not *terrible*... but i only use it for gaming purposes [23:45] meoblast001: but if you keep ubuntu-desktop all dependencies of ubuntu-desktop will be marked as kept automatically so it isn't as bad as it sounds [23:45] Can someone help me figure out why I keep getting errors when burning a cd?
