[00:04] fccf: i have really important files on there from a crashed winXP install [00:04] quinn, Although if you just install the openssh-server package on the server it works (you don't really need to configure anything) [00:04] fccf: any chance i can force retreive them?

[00:06] lobster: use rm -r to remove folder -RECURSIVLY- (That is, everything inside) [00:06] ed_debian: i dunno man. the christian god strikes me as an asshole. if he did it it was only to fuck with korjata [00:06] when you select the package and choose Apply,but don't let it install. You can also do it in aptitude, but I don't have experience with that [00:06] !ohmy > sjokkis [00:06] sjokkis, please see my private message [00:06] elli222 i think itas an upper case -R [00:06] sjokkis, It's possible.

Use the --recursive (-r or [00:08] -R) [00:08] elli222: you should have a .xmodmap in your ~, and then have that parsed at login [00:08] ed_debian, thanks, this will be useful [00:08] bye everyone [00:08] bye!

I think I have almost figured out why my webcam isn't working. I did an "lsmod | grep quickcam" and found that I have two modules that are trying to run it [00:17] fccf: live CD atm. Windows bootloader is messed up. [00:17] ironfoot_495, Are you ssh ing over the internet? Have you ssh'd without a private key (with just a username and password)? [00:17] what is chmod0700 ?

[00:19] keres: chances are the partition tables are screwed up - windows did this, and chances are you have lost your data... I am sorry ... Backups are your best friend [00:19] n2diy: ie http://192.168.0.1 or some such [00:19] ed_debian: it's intranet and I have tried all the google methods but for sdome reason I can get it to work [00:19] graelin: what is the route to the router?

PM me before you give up [00:20] n2diy: abiword is a little underpowered for text rotation [00:20] ed_debian: it keeps saying Permission denied (publickey,password) [00:20] fccf: I was afraid that was the answer, thanks. [00:20] n2diy: is your comp on the network and if so, what os you in now? [00:20] keres: not likely, and chances are there is something physically wrong with the harddrive, ubuntu may not install [00:20] ironfoot_495, so the command you're running is "ssh ironfoot_495@ipofserver" ?? [00:21] is there any real issues for 64 bit? flash , java not working etc. left unsolved or anything else I should be aware of before installing? [00:21] ed_debian: yes [00:21] keres, can't you try booting a livecd and mounting your old partition? [00:21] Anyone have any ideas? [00:21] ironfoot_495, And you installed the openssh-server package on the server? [00:21] I talked about PAE and NX support in Ubuntu before, but just want to let you know that Fedora 11 now do auto-detection at install time and install a PAE kernel if PAE is available. [00:21] graelin: no, he is across town, so I need the route to his router, both boxes are running a flavor of Ubuntu. [00:21] how do I change a server boot script under /etc/init.d/serverName?

[00:22] akmalhamdani, harpreet_: java works fine on 64 bit ubuntu [00:22] n2diy: well... you'd need his IP address.. but chances are his router will not let you login from the outside of his network [00:22] yuhong: you'll note that nx support (well, the relevant execshield bits) are in karmic's kernel, and 32-bit karmic will gain pae and non-pae flavours [00:22] Kalmi_: thank you [00:22] harpreet_: for flash, it's still alpha version but it's worked [00:22] broken_ depending on the camera that may just work apt-get is fine [00:23] why would GParted have greyed out options (i.e. fat32, fat16, wt [00:23] c [00:23] akmalhamdani, harpreet_: the 32 bit flashplayer works fine in 64 bit browsers [00:23] ironfoot_495, what does the -vv flag do? Why are you trying to log in as root? Try to log in as yourself IDK if root is allowed to ssh. Seems like it would be a security risk. [00:23] Thanks, especially because I mentioned it before. [00:23] I'll give that a shot and let you know [00:23] Thanks, especially because I once argued about it before. [00:23] Kalmi_: you mean flashplugin nonfree?

Sounds like you'll be troubleshooting on the phone [00:23] graelin: yes, I need to know the route to his router. Once I know where it is, hopefully it will let me play with it as if I was on the local net? [00:23] harpreet_, yes [00:23] when I edit a boot script. do I need to do something afterwards? [00:24] anyone know of a stand alone pandora player? [00:24] fccf: I tried camorama and cheese. [00:24] Kalmi_: thank you [00:24] harpreet_, yw [00:24] broken__: you might try with VLC it handles /dev/video a little better in some cases [00:24] ironfoot_495, Also try putting the ip address of your server (the local intranet ip address) instead of it's host name. Unless you have the name in your host file or you have a DNS server on your intranet host names won't work [00:24] graelin: roger that, and no phone needed, my roomate is heading over there now, and may pop up here any minute now? [00:24] n2diy: ROUTERS USUALLY HAVE SOME SORT OF BASIC FIREWALL SET ON THEM... INCOMMING CONNECTIONS ARE NOT LIKELY ALLOWED [00:25] ed_debian: are you there???

But to recap, I really would like some help on a few things. First I created a 20GB home partition, a 10GB root partition, and a 3GB swap. I've ran out of room on my home partition. I can't seem to mount my cdrom. Why does .gnome in /home take up 10GB. I need about 10GB just to play WoW. Should I make the home partition about 50GB? [00:33] It seems odd that GNOME would take up 10GB. That is half my home partition. [00:33] Hi is there anyone who can help me fix ssh I'm having a problem with publickey Can't get my desktop or server to respond over the intranet??? [00:33] graelin: yes, it is a usb quickcam express [00:33] I am so frustrated?!!!

[00:34] ese: what kind of issues [00:34] ironfoot_495, that does not seem to be publickey issue... [00:34] Kalmi_: So did I create too small of partitions? I have went through the partition manager now 3 times. I'm really lost as to what sizes to go with [00:34] Kalmi_: there is a plugin swfdec for linux which isnt good and you can install windows version in linux with tweaks here: [00:34] rods: it just crash...

[00:35] fccf: .gnome2 takes up 10GB [00:35] hey is there a GUI version of something like Peerguardian for linux, such as MoBlock but with GUI? <------anyone have any idea? [00:35] or is that just an option that is available with "install them side by side" ? [00:35] zortec_: du -s ~/.gnome2/* | sort -g [00:35] Kalmi_: well what do you think it is ?? [00:35] Azalyn yes [00:36] zortec not on my machine ... look deeper into that folder and see what it is that is taking up that much space [00:36] geirha: It's showing different sizes when I pasted that command [00:36] harpreet_, swfdec is for flash... and shockwave in wine is not really shockwave in linux... [00:36] Kalmi_: can you help me with this ? [00:36] geirha: I was using the gui that shows 1467 files taking up 10.9GB [00:36] please? [00:36] thanks for the help everyone, i got it working :D [00:36] Kalmi_: thats what i said, it isnt good for linux [00:36] ironfoot_495, probably your router.... you need to set up portforwarding at the ssh server... [00:36] because with the slider partitioning method i can't seem to move the slider to the far left. i had already made an ext3 partition for it. but it seems to assume i want to keep it, instead of assuming i want it to *use* it. [00:37] Hi all [00:37] harpreet_, ... ok... so there is no shockwave for linux :) [00:37] Kalmi_: port forwarding hum?? can you give me the instructions on how to do so?? [00:37] Azalyn: go back and make an unpartitioned space for ubuntu to use [00:37] zortec: The above command shows the sizes in KiB [00:38] broken: http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ see if your cam is supported. Linux doesn't play nice with all of them [00:38] I seem to have multiple windows open but I can't see them all, they are like on another desktop [00:39] ironfoot_495, it's router specific and there is lot of tutorials on the internet for it... you need to forward port 22 (tcp) to your internal ip (on ssh server's router) [00:39] Kalmi_: i agree, here is something for us: http://www.petitiononline.com/linuxswp/petition.html [00:39] ok [00:41] graelin: Mine isn't listed on that site. I've been to a "quickcam team" website that claimed these should work with my exact camera [00:41] how do i check what files went where after an apt-get install?

[00:44] fccf: When I right click on the home dir, it shows 6,547 items totaling 11.9GB [00:44] ese, yeah, a dvd full of porn! [00:44] I can't believe it's taking that much. [00:44] =) [00:44] zortec: This should show how many megabytes each file/dir in your home is using: du --max-depth=1 -xm $HOME | sort -g [00:44] zortec: dig down .. to .gnome2 - and use list view to see what in .gnome2 is using that space [00:44] progre55: you dont mount an empty disk.. you run whatever burner app you want and burn to it.. then you can mount it. [00:45] zortec: Sorted with the largest last [00:45] zortec: details view - i meant [00:45] can anyone help me please ? i've got virtualbox and instaled vista on it [00:45] progre55: unless you are thinking how in windows you can treat a blank optical disk like a big 'floppy disk' [00:45] Anyone have a problem with the 64 bit 10.0 r22 flash plugin causing a segment fault with Firefox when visiting sites like Youtube.com? [00:45] wistler this is the ubuntu channel - try #virtualbox [00:45] is there a way that vista can comunicate with the host (ubuntu) ? [00:45] 11092 /home/zortec/.local [00:45] 11260 /home/zortec [00:46] through the net [00:46] fccf: I just installed it. I guess I'll reboot and then try it again. I'll let you know if it works or not. [00:46] Dr_Willis_, no, it's just, even brasero doesnt see it.. [00:46] wistler, sorry to hear that :D best advice is to remove it :) [00:46] TheFunkbomb, I don't have that problem... worksforme(tm) [00:46] looooooooool [00:46] not sure if this is the right place or not as its more about grub than ubuntu itself, but installed ubuntu no problems, and followed guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035999 7 installed fine, but reinstalled grub and now its giving me an error that the cylinder is higher than the bios supports when i try to boot 7 [00:46] wistler: virtualbox os can use samba or whatever.. or virtualbox has its own special 'shares' it can be accessed check the vbox docs. [00:46] lol [00:46] !samba | wistler [00:46] wistler: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [00:46] zortec: Ok, so it's in .local then, probably the trash. Re-run the command replacing $HOME with $HOME/.local [00:46] I need it for the work :s [00:46] progre55: then it may be theres some error in how the burners are configured. ive seen a few others have similer issues [00:47] Is there a way to make the volume louder? [00:47] zortec: Continue inwards till you find the big files [00:47] BTW, the thing that is most troublesome with PAE right now seems to be the Intel graphics drivers. [00:47] 11092 /home/zortec/.local [00:47] 11092 /home/zortec/.local/share [00:47] wistler: set up samba on the linux host machine.. and the guest should be able to access the shares. or use ssh, and winscp on windows. [00:47] Dr_Willis_, any solutions you could offer, please? ) [00:47] is there anything like the windows app ultramon for ubuntu? something that would facilitate dual monitor usage? [00:47] ubottu when I connect a 3G internet vista gets net to, but if net is down, I can't comunicate with host linux [00:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:48] zortec: inside .gnome2 ... look there for big files /home/zortec/.gnome2/ here [00:48] progre55: other then check the forums no. Ive never had the issue. many of the dvd burner apps ahve configure menus you may want to check out [00:48] hi all, i was hoping someone could help me with this...i'm migrating out of windows vista, where you can hold shift and right-click on an executable file or shortcut and then have it run as administrator...is there something similar in kubuntu where you can right-click an executable and have it run as kdesudo/sudo ? [00:48] Dr_Disk I'll try that [00:48] tnks guys [00:48] wistler, use NAT networking in vbox [00:48] it is nat [00:48] um... od... ok [00:48] +d [00:48] How do i install updates with ending with .run? [00:48] http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17993 [00:48] zortec: Have you tried emptying the trashcan? trash is stored at $HOME/.local/share/Trash [00:48] earthlander_, what are you installing? [00:49] fccf: .gnome2 doesn't have any big files [00:49] Jack_Sparrow, may i msg you? [00:49] Dr_Willis_, I see. well, thanks anyways =) [00:49] geirha: Trash affects your disk usage on linux? I didn't know that [00:49] zortec: .gnome2 is the one with 10gigs right? [00:49] zortec: Yes, it just moves the files in there, so you can restore them in case you trashed the wrong files [00:49] zortec, how could it not affect your disk usage? :) [00:50] * i0x73 bashes his head against the wall. [00:50] so...nobody has any clue? [00:50] fccf: .gnome2 is only 63.7KB [00:50] shayaknyc: sorry what was your question? [00:50] shayaknyc: question? [00:50] zortec: ok, earlier you said gnome was taking up 10gigs [00:51] hi all, i was hoping someone could help me with this...i'm migrating out of windows vista, where you can hold shift and right-click on an executable file or shortcut and then have it run as administrator...is there something similar in kubuntu where you can right-click an executable and have it run as kdesudo/sudo ? [00:51] hi alllll [00:51] shayaknyc: ive seen 'run as root' nautilus scripts.. but i dont use them [00:51] shayaknyc: hmm yeah you would use run as root === chuck_ is now known as adidas [00:51] anyone out here know how to diagnose random freezes? Seems to happen most when streaming video, or using transmission. Also happens when streaming radio surfing net and wordprocessing [00:51] just formatted to ubuntu, I get to autocomplete in the console... help! [00:51] fccf, geirha, Kalmi_: So it's the trash then. But it's going to take 10GB for the WoW files... so should I consider a bigger partition if I'm going to test gaming on linux? I did 3GB for swap, 10GB for /, and 20GB for home [00:51] shayaknyc: and that would be gnome specific.. #kubuntu may know of a simile rfeature in kde. [00:51] wich is the best ( Ubutu, Xubutu , Minit , Crunshbang ) ????!!!! [00:51] I'm running in kubuntu, i don't see any run as root when i right-click [00:51] wich is the best ( Ubutu, Xubutu , Minit , Crunshbang ) ????!!!! [00:51] shayaknyc, I don't see the point... why would you run random executables as root... [00:51] i asked in kubuntu, nobody had an answer for me :( [00:51] sanfoor: use what you want. I would say stick with Ubuntu ifyour syste, can handle it [00:52] shayaknyc: no, its not that easy, use nautilus and run what you need [00:52] thank u dr willis [00:52] kalmi_: not random execs, but specific files (like adobe air) without having to go into konsole [00:52] shayaknyc: i rarely have the need to run arbitary things as root. :) so its not really a needed feature to most people. === adidas is now known as chuck_ [00:52] will nautilus run on kubuntu environment? [00:52] I'm using Nvidia TwinView with dual monitors. I'd like to have apps on the right monitor show up on the right monitor's panel, etc. Is there a way to do this? [00:52] shayaknyc, are you installing stuff daily? [00:52] shayaknyc: theres ways to make a binary run 'as root' always.. but thats a bit of a security risk [00:52] shayaknyc: yes [00:52] i'm looking for a system that use less ressources and good performence [00:52] I need more VOLUME!!! is there a easy way to do that? Or should I just buy louder speakers? [00:53] shayaknyc: yes but it will but it will pull in a lot of gnome [00:53] well, i'm currently running kubuntu 9.04 in vbox in windows vista [00:53] zortec: You could just make a separate partition for your game, mount it at $HOME/WOW for instance, then tell wine to use that dir as D:. Then lastly, install wow to D: in wine [00:53] kinda testing itout [00:53] zortec: personally I don't use a home partition - just a 40 gig / and a 300gig stores-which is where I keep all radio station data -- and 8gig swap [00:53] and frankly, i LOVE it so far [00:53] lakotajames, try running: alsamixer [00:53] sanfoor: Xubuntu. [00:53] lakotajames: hosting a party? [00:53] 8gb swap? thats a little... large [00:53] :) [00:53] The problem seems to be GEM. [00:53] geirha, fccf: I was reading that you should use a home partition since it makes it easier to upgrade upbuntu, of course never have done that so can't really comment [00:53] kalmi [00:53] i'm looking for a system that use less ressources and good performence [00:53] Kalmi: Already all the way up. Anything else? [00:54] i'm using xubuntu, is that fine ? [00:54] can you download games off the internet or do you have to use synaptic? [00:54] harpreet_: No, I am going insane. I need to drown out my thoughts. [00:54] geirha, fccf: I was just going to create a root partition, but wine puts all your files into a home partition right? [00:54] zortec: Yes, it's not a bad idea to have a separate /home. I have that as well. [00:54] lukilla: you can get games from outside Synaptic [00:54] I can confirm that putting home on its own partition is a good diea [00:54] lakotajames: bring up the volume controls and see if the master is turned down. 9.04 seems to like that set low for some reason. I seem to be always adjusting mine [00:54] lukilla: uh the repo I should say [00:54] lukilla: you can do whatever you want. :) depends on the games [00:54] !repo | lukilla [00:54] how? [00:54] lukilla: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:54] Any opinions on set top boxes for media streaming? [00:54] zortec: I have no intention of upgrading... I use LTS and this server will stay locked in this mode for the life of the radio station [00:54] Kalmi_: i just built a machine today, should i manually set swap or should i just use entire disk, which will be more beneficial? [00:55] hi [00:55] help! i deleted my linux partitions and screwed up grub in the process, and then i couldn't boot vista, so i got my 9.04 live cd out (on it now) and tried to fix my windows MBR - and now i get an error that says winload.exe could not be used - it may be missing or corrupt. help!!! how can i fix winload.exe ??? [00:55] I got problem with samba server [00:55] geirha: How do I go about making a separate partition, mounting it, and doing all of those steps? [00:55] harpreet_, just use the entire disk... Ubuntu will find the optimal settings for you [00:55] anyone can help me? [00:55] ? [00:55] sanfoor: u can use a _really_ low resource window manager like dwm or wmii [00:55] !ask | BouB [00:55] BouB: 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. :-) [00:55] harpreet_: Use entire disk... it will automatically set swap size for you based on your ram [00:55] bertt: so you wish to no longer have any linux at all? [00:55] k [00:56] Dr Willis - i need the space on my HD. for now i'm done with ubuntu, i'm going to get it back after i finish a c++ class i'm taking when i don't have to use command prompt everyday [00:56] bertt: not sure if this is the place to be asking how to fix winload. However, having a similar problem a few years ago I seem to remember using an app called fixmbr. [00:56] hi [00:56] I'm using Nvidia TwinView with dual monitors. I'd like to have apps on the right monitor show up on the right monitor's panel, etc. Is there a way to do this? [00:56] bertt: that sounds like you somehow messed up your windows install... how did you reinstall grub? [00:56] how to see log who ping me last time? [00:56] bertt: then you need to boot a windows cd.. and use the proper windows commands to 'rewrite' the mbr to the disk. #windows may be best for that. You need linux to use grub basically. [00:56] kalmi_ : i didn't. i'm using the livecd [00:57] hey [00:57] graelin:No, all the way up. Seems like it could be louder, though. Do I need to buy new speakers, or a new sound card? [00:57] I see just get connection to samba drives after restarting service instead directly after reboo [00:57] t [00:57] dr_willis_: ok. thank you, i'll check them out. i'll also google fixmbr. [00:57] what does the other side of a pop-up window look like? [00:57] Anyone at all? Looking for someone who uses some sort of media device to stream media to, from their own server... [00:57] bertt, ok... whatever... good luck [00:57] bertt you need a win98 cd [00:58] is there a way to convert mp4 to mp3 [00:58] and go to dos [00:58] lakotajames: could be. master is all the way up as well as front? [00:58] zortec: Come to think of it, resizing /home is a bit easier to do, if you're not familiar with editing /etc/fstab [00:58] then write -----------------mbr fdisk / [00:58] The_Beard: I am using flumotion to stream to the IPhone - does that count [00:58] then write ----------------- fdisk /mbr [00:58] geirha: Is there a quick way to resize /home? [00:58] graelin: yeah, everything is up all the way. I meant, what would make it loud? Which should I buy? or both? [00:59] zortec: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition [00:59] ok, one last question, i promise, how do i make a shortcut on my desktop folder to run nautilus in kubuntu? do i need to provide the full path? [00:59] wistler: how the heck do i get a win98 cd? and that will help me boot vista? [00:59] so how do I get samba working without manually rebooting service? [00:59] what does the other side of a pop-up window look like? [00:59] fccf, heh, not really... thanks for trying though ;) Just trying to find some peoples opinions who have actually used some of the boxes that are out there... [00:59] Perhaps someone can solve this mystery for me. The package "pm-utils" just came up in my auto-update. I went and followed links. The Ubuntu version is 0.99, but the oldest one on the pm-utils GIT repository is 1.1.2.4, and that's a year old. The one that Ubuntu is pushing out now must be two years old or more! Why is it only showing up now? [00:59] The_Beard: like slingbox, AppleTV, etc [01:00] fccf, exactly, AppleTV seems too limited... so I am looking for something like it, that I can stream movies to...as well as use Boxee/netflix/etc... [01:00] anyone out have any suggestions on how to go about figuring out why I keep having random crashes? [01:00] or a disk of free dos [01:00] sorry random freezes [01:00] The_Beard: Have you considered MythTV [01:00] AppleTV is a little PC. :) you could put a whole new OS on it and do what you want.. if you know how.... [01:00] bertt or a disk of free dos [01:01] fccf, hmm have never heard of it... [01:01] fccf, checking site now [01:01] what does the other side of a pop-up window look like? [01:01] :| [01:01] The_Beard: check out 'geexbox' it turns almost any pc in to a media player/that can play remote/streams/files :) [01:01] psyber: Can you give a little bit more detail about when the freezes happen? And are they total system freezes, or just X windows freezes, or what? [01:01] psyber: Also, are you using Jaunty, or another version of Ubuntu? [01:01] !ot > zaccour [01:01] zaccour, please see my private message [01:01] bertt what is going on ? [01:01] any idea when Ubuntu is going to fix the flash problem? [01:01] y [01:02] Can I resize /home from within ubuntu? I just need to unmount it first [01:02] wistler: say i downloaded a .iso of win98 , would i then use it fix the mbr? [01:02] my samba server only works after manually rebootung service. anyone knows why? [01:02] Dr_Willis_, I've heard the name, but I want to stream media to my plasma in the living area...HDMI... [01:02] Hi. I've installed Jaunty AMD64. Does anyone know a quick way to install ATI graphics driver? [01:02] zortec: you will need to do it from the live cd [01:02] zortec: Not if it is on the same harddrive as /. Then you'll need to boot the live CD [01:02] RedSocrates: not sure if it is X or the system. It seems to happen a lot when streaming video or running transmission. Also happens when word streaming radio. I started having this problem when I upgraded to Jaunty [01:02] there is a flash problem? [01:02] psyber: What video card do you have? [01:02] flash works just fine on ubuntu for me [01:02] ????? [01:02] what flash problem? [01:03] bertt don't really need a win98, download "free DOS" [01:03] lakotajames: Well... not sure what to do. New soundcard may fix it, but no guarantee. Get VLC and use that as a player. VLC seems to boost the snot out of sound. The middle sound setting is 100% and it goes up from there... [01:03] TheFunkbomb, what are you talking about? [01:03] follow the instructions to make flopyes [01:03] RedSocrates: old school nvidia 7300 LE. I did some googling and did not find anyone with similar problems [01:03] wistler: and then what? make an .iso, boot from it... and... hope to recover winload.exe ?? [01:03] bertt: what OS is on the machine? if 98 then you need a 98/me/related cd.. XP need a XP cd [01:03] RedSocrates: I am using the latest Nvidia dirvers [01:03] The_Beard: I am a little confused - you want to put what on your Plasma... where is the content coming from? [01:03] Ok, back to the minimal install for the third time to resize partitions... maybe I will get it right eventually === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:03] Dr_Willis_: its vista. i don't have any vista cd's, just the HP recovery partition... that i can't boot into [01:03] graelin:Well, it isn't exactly broken. I just want it louder. But if I want to make it louder, soundcard rather than speakers is what I need? [01:03] bertt: Try booting from the windows cd and do a repair... you may get lucky [01:04] fccf, as far as MythTV, i'm actually looking for hardware to stream it to the TV, not necessarily to stream FROM. [01:04] boot by the floppy and the after you are in free dos prompt just right fdisk /mbr [01:04] zaccour, on the 64bit version of 9.04, flash doesn't work right. [01:04] bertt: you need a vista cd then.. 98 wont work I think. ask in #windows [01:04] The_Beard: Wirelessly [01:04] psyber: Hm.. Well, I had "random" freezing problems in X after upgrading to Jaunty with both an Intel card and an ATI card. I fixed the second one by upgrading the kernel to 2.6.29. I fixed the second by applying various fixes I found on a bug report (bug #359392 on Launchpad). [01:04] fccf, my stash of media currently residing on my linux machine... [01:04] graelin: no cd =( laptop didn't ship with any bc of vista crap methods [01:04] lakotajames: no.. I'd go with speakers.... powered of course [01:04] fccf, no, i am wired in the living area [01:04] TheFunkbomb, whats wrong with 32 bit? everything "just works" [01:04] psyber: You might look around on LaunchPad. I know next to nothing about nvidia issues, though. Are there any messages in any of your log files? [01:04] I run a 64 bit system. [01:04] fccf, but like i said, right now i am trying to find good hardware to feed the TV =) [01:04] i run 64 too. faster. [01:05] RedSocrates: thats what I would like to start checking. Not sure what log files I should be looking at. [01:05] other way is to download iso fom GAG boot loader [01:05] The_Beard: probably slingbox [01:05] live cd [01:05] fccf: does slingbox work with ubuntu? [01:06] psyber: I would check the Xorg logs in /var/log, as well as /var/log/messages and /var/log/kern.log, maybe also /var/log/syslog [01:06] psyber: If this bug is anything like the freezes I was encountering, though, the logs will say nothing :-/ [01:06] RedSocrates: Yeah, that is what I am expecting [01:06] ActionParsnip: slingbox only needs an network connection to the server which often is a NAS. but would work with a ubuntu server [01:06] yeah, so either Ubuntu x64, Flash, or Firefox is completely messed up. [01:07] psyber: If that's the case, and you don't find anything on Launchpad, your best bet is probably reporting the bug and seeing if anyone has suggestions [01:07] bertt: is there a hidden partition on it. Laptops usually have a recovery partition on them. Other than that fixmbr is an option but probly won't help since its seeing the bootloader and trying to load the file. If mbr was hosed, it'd most likely do nothing [01:07] TheFunkbomb: the answer is always flash [01:07] fccf: nice [01:07] psyber: If you know how to install the Ubuntu mainline kernels, you might also experiment with some of those. Like I said, that fixed my issue with the ATI card (not with the Intel card, though) [01:07] TheFunkbomb: Adobe has their head up their ... [01:07] hey how can add sata support to virtualbox [01:07] graelin: there is an HP recovery partition. but i don't know how to get to it... i would be able to use grub.... if i had grub. haha [01:07] RedSocrates: humm. I will consider trying that [01:07] Supermiguel: it has it allready last i looked.... [01:07] psyber: You could also try using the "vesa" driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if you don't want/need high-performance video [01:08] Well , was using Gnash flash player but some videos won't play. [01:08] ActionParsnip: & The_Beard: you may need to transcode to something the slingbox can read - depending on what format your media is in [01:08] Supermiguel: unless somthing is vague about what you are asking.... [01:08] psyber: vesa driver? [01:08] Dr_Willis_, like all the drives that it create are IDE not sata [01:08] fccf, that's more of a "watch your tv content - anywhere" device... i'm looking for a "watch all of my content on one TV" device (like WDTV or AppleTV) [01:08] if i install ubuntu, do you all think i would be able to mount my vista partition from ubuntu to access my files? [01:08] vesa is the free graphics driver [01:08] graelin: Ok, thanks. And VLC does help quite a bit. Thanks! [01:08] Question: In the repository there is no 64-bit version of a package that I want. Is there someone I should inform of this? [01:08] Supermiguel: Ive added sata (or was it scsi) drives befor. (virtual drives) check the settings? why does it matter? [01:09] fccf: slingbox is used to stream cable tv over lan / wan dude [01:09] bertt: usually its a keycombo at boot. try f12 before bios completes. It may be an option in the bios as well.. worked on a dell business machine once that hid the recovery option until it was selected in bios [01:09] Got an issue [01:09] Dr_Willis_, yes because i can only add 3 IDE drives, and with sata i can add.. 30 =) [01:09] ActionParsnip: slingbox can do a whole lot more than that [01:09] could use some help if any is willing [01:09] The issue is with Brasero [01:09] The_Beard, if your looking for a media center pc look into mythbuntu or linuxmce [01:09] !ask > sHaMaR_nAtSaR [01:09] sHaMaR_nAtSaR, please see my private message [01:10] @bertt: Ubuntu has NTFS-3g driver. Yes. [01:10] RedSocrates: would vessa support 1280x1024? [01:10] I've got an old skool mp3 player a Samsung 512mb [01:10] fccf: nice, thats all i need it for dude. i gots a file server with amarok xul :) [01:10] go ahead sHamaR. [01:10] chuck_, looking for a set top box to feed HDMI to my TV, streaming from my server [01:10] It reconizes it fine [01:10] yes [01:10] Just when trying to "grab tracks and burn them to disk" [01:10] psyber: I think so, yes. It will depend on the capabilities of your card, but it should be able to. [01:10] bertt: seems pretty silly to put a recovery partition on a drive w/o a means to use it.. but we're talking prefab lapcrap and winblows here [01:10] I got to go - back at 8pm pdst [01:11] psyber: You can always try it and then switch back if it doesn't work. === thedoctor is now known as TheDoctor [01:11] It never finishes "Normalizing the Tracks" [01:11] I'm using Nvidia TwinView with dual monitors. I'd like to have apps on the right monitor show up on the right monitor's panel, etc. Is there a way to do this? [01:11] graelin: i hear you man. after i exhaust all my resources i'll give the F12 trick a go [01:11] Any tips? [01:11] bertt: In theory you could force grub to boot the partition by hand with the proper editing from the grub command line. [01:11] RedSocrates: humm I will be sure to check that out. I don't use any desktop effects nor do I game with this system. I just need a solid work station [01:11] sHaMaR: try to drag and drop them into a directory first, then burn them :) I had the same problem. [01:11] bertt: it could be another fx key too. The Dell was either f11 or 12 [01:12] psyber: In that case, vesa drivers should be fine. You should just need to add, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, under the "Device" section, the line: Driver "vesa" === TheDoctor is now known as The_Doctor [01:12] psyber: That might at least be a temporary solution while you investigate === R_Rios is now known as o_a === The_Doctor is now known as thedoctor === thedoctor is now known as the_doctor === the_doctor is now known as the-doctor [01:14] is ubuntu considered lunux [01:14] lukilla: No. [01:14] It IS considered linux, though. [01:14] lukilla: No, but it's considered Linux [01:14] RedSocrates: so just adding that line will overide using nvidia drivers? [01:14] lukilla, ubuntu is linux. [01:14] RedSocrates: GET OUT OF MY HEAD. :) [01:14] ok thank you [01:14] Hi - Can't get into my NTFS partition - setup a dual boot - installed samba but still a no go - missing something ? ?

[01:16] mib_hmrjylj2, stop that [01:17] mib_hmrjylj2, please dont ask like that. it's very very rude and people will put you on ignore instead of helping. [01:17] mib_hmrjylj2: Never do that again [01:17] Seriously, mib_hmrjylj2. You've just alienated anyone with a passing interest in assisting you. [01:17] I'm going to install kde-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, and xfce-desktop. I want to try them all out. [01:17] I hear mib_hmrjylj2 is having trouble. [01:17] So I'm going to make the partition bigger this time. [01:17] Need a point in the right direction on how to access my NTFS partition ? [01:17] psyber: To answer your earlier question, yes, that line alone should do it [01:18] okay sorry but can anyone help me [01:18] Anyone have a problem with the 64 bit 10.0 r22 flash plugin causing a segment fault with Firefox when visiting sites like Youtube.com? [01:18] RedSocrates: great! Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it. [01:18] TheFunkbomb: No, can you get a backtrace? [01:18] mib_hmrjylj2: ask the room, it will reply if it can [01:18] psyber: No problem, good luck with it [01:18] KB1JWQ, a backtrace? [01:18] TheFunkbomb: Yeah, using strace or similar. [01:18] no [01:18] !ask | mib_hmrjylj2 [01:18] mib_hmrjylj2: 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. :-) [01:18] TheFunkbomb: Okay then. :) [01:19] I have no idea what strace is [01:19] The_Beard, he's already asked his problem. [01:19] therefore, I cannot do it. [01:19] TheFunkbomb: how did you install the plugin? [01:19] Do you need a /home partition for wine? [01:19] ActionParsnip, Can't read my NTFS part. - have samba installed - missing something - give me a clue ? ? [01:19] elky: No, he's complained loudly about a problem while providing no real detail. [01:19] I was going to install them outside of /home if I can [01:19] zortec: no, it is managed for you [01:19] got a wierd question guys, i have a hdd thats ntfs format, and a bunch of music etc on it, but the sound doesnt work on anything on the hdd [01:20] elky, as far as everyone in this room is concerned, spamming does not count as asking. [01:20] KB1JWQ, then prompt for detail, dont ask him to start repeating again. [01:20] furtwed: samba isnt used to read local ntf partitions, ntfs-3g is [01:20] !ntfs3g | furtwed [01:20] furtwed: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [01:20] * KB1JWQ remembers why he doesn't come in here too often [01:20] The_Beard, that was not spam. that was flooding. if you dont prompt for a different thing, you're just going to get it again anyway. [01:20] ActionParsnip, there are three ways I tried. One is from the Repos. The second was from Synaptic. The -nonfree locks up firefox and consumes all my CPU power. The other way is direct from Adobe. When I use 10.0 r22, it just closes out Firefox [01:20] zortec: Map whatever directory you like to D: in winecfg, then installing something to D: in wine will install it there [01:20] i installed ubuntu on my old dell latitude and everything was working fine untill the graphical install came up and the screen got like double sided and glitchy. is my computer too slow? [01:21] TheFunkbomb: i run the plugin flawlessly by copying the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins [01:21] I also think instead of using a 3GB swap. I'm going with a 1-2GB [01:21] I don't like to waste space [01:21] elky, you off your high horse yet? =) [01:21] The_Beard, i suggest "we need more information. what model is the latitude" for a start. [01:21] Apparently not. [01:21] ActionParsnip, I don't have a folder called ~/.mozilla/plugins [01:21] hold on ill look [01:22] TheFunkbomb: Are you SURE? :) [01:22] ActionParsnip, Thanks a bunch! [01:22] Realize dot folders don't show up by default. [01:22] ActionParsnip, my plugins are stored in /usr/lib/mozilla... [01:22] RedSocrates: last question when enabling vesa drivers should I comment out the nvidia stuff in the devices section? [01:22] psyber: Yes [01:22] got a wierd question guys, i have a hdd thats ntfs format, and a bunch of music etc on it, but the sound doesnt work on anything on the hdd [01:22] The_Beard, you're not helping anyone with that attitude. [01:22] TheFunkbomb, how does flash die? does it play videos for a second? [01:23] There is a lot of mixed opinions on this, but I'll ask anyway [01:23] TheFunkbomb: its worth a try. i dont use the repos for flash, i just pull down the .so and whack it in the folder and *poof* it works [01:23] Its a Dell Latittude C800 [01:23] For a new user to ubuntu, do you recommend a /home? [01:23] i can post a pic of what the screen problem looks like [01:23] If not, should I make my / about 50GB then? [01:23] psyber: If you want to make sure that the vesa driver is the one that's loaded, check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log after restarting X. It should say that it's loading the VESA driver [01:23] mib_hmrjylj2: did you md5 check the iso you burned as well as verify the cd once burned? === Jamed_ is now known as Jamed [01:23] zortec: 10-15 GB for /, the rest for /home ... that's my setup [01:23] elky, says the guy attempting to berate someone in a public channel. [01:24] i can post a pic of what the screen problem looks like/ [01:24] Hmmm [01:24] Kalmi_, with the -nonfree plugin from the repos, some movies work, others do not. The ones that don't just try to load and then gray out firefox. Then npviewer.bin eats up my CPU. [01:24] i can post a pic of what the screen problem looks like? [01:24] The_Beard, says the op who got actual information out of the one you were being rude to. [01:24] whoops sorry [01:24] geirha: Do I miss out on anything if I don't have a /home? [01:24] mib_hmrjylj2: go ahead [01:24] umm no i didnt do the checking should i have [01:24] zortec, yes... :) it makes reinstalling easier if the user somehow manages to mess up his install [01:24] Aparently virtualbox OSE edition. can only do IDE controllers.. the one from the Virtualbox site.. can do Scsi and sata controllers also. [01:24] elky, view it how you wish, I typed a simple !ask, and this is the result. A bit excessive don't you think? [01:24] mib_hmrjylj2: yes absolutely, you have no way of knowing the iso was downloaded correctly [01:25] hi, i'm using ubuntu 9.04. is there any way to automatically reconnect my broadband connection after sudden disconnection. [01:25] !md5 | mib_hmrjylj2 [01:25] mib_hmrjylj2: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:25] Kalmi_, with the plugin straight from the adobe, as soon as I go to youtube.com (the main page), FF closes. If I go to an individual video page, it works fine... === Dr_Willi1_Arch is now known as Dr_Willis_ [01:25] okay ill try it [01:25] elky, forget it, I'll see myself out for now. We are both arguing to no end. =) Have a good night. [01:25] The_Beard, it was inappropriate. i explained why it was. [01:25] geirha, Kalmi_: If I'm going to do just do everything outside of home, you are saying 10-15GB, and I want to test gaming, shouldn't I go a bit bigger like 30-50GB? [01:26] TheFunkbomb... stupid idea... but try disabling pulseaudio [01:26] !sound | TheFunkbomb [01:26] TheFunkbomb: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:26] zortec, you are not supposed to do anything outside home [01:27] zortec: Then maybe, 10-15 GB for /, 40 GB for /media/games, rest for /home [01:27] hey guys, I've got a weird bug, quite often when I alt-tab X seems to crash and restart putting me back at the gdm login, any ideas what's doing it? [01:27] Kalmi_: So if that's the case, I should create a 30-50GB for /home? [01:27] Kalmi_, I'm already using Alsa. [01:27] elkey just wondering why the floodbot let him get away with it [01:27] geirha: You can set up any partitions you want? [01:28] zortec: Yes. Any directory can be a separate partition [01:28] if the iso is fine is there another solution to the screen issue http://up.mibbit.com/up/Zkl8zq5N.jpg here is a pic of what the screen looks like [01:28] zortec, well... maybe having one big partition is just easier :) [01:28] hello [01:28] I'm not messing with my sound. [01:28] IM not getting much help in squid channel [01:28] Kalmi_: If I go that route, then I'd have wine use that big partition for games? That is what I'm trying to figure out [01:28] does anyone know how I can.. [01:28] just wanted to say this: AAAARGH I hate windows .. got a virus by inserting a memory stick :X .. going back to Ubuntu now.. [01:28] zortec: Yeah, Kalmi_ has a point. For your case, one big / partition would be easier [01:29] Kalmi_: I just don't want to run out of space on /home like I did [01:29] is it possible that i can create a cache of videos linked from my video site? [01:29] zortec, "/home" will be part of "/" if you have only one partition [01:29] in other words, video site .. links to videos embedded from youtube etc.. specific videos on the site cached on ISP server for users of the site (but not other youtube videos)_ [01:29] best for format a partition for use by both linux and windows as NTFS right? [01:30] Kalmi_: Oh, I get it now... wine maps /home to the big partition [01:30] zortec, forgive me if you have answered this already, but why not just one big /? [01:30] zortec... well... not wine... but yes [01:30] i'm using nvidia Twinview and i'd like for windows on the left to show up on a panel on the bottom of the left screen and visa versa. is this possible? [01:30] neopsyche: not with squid i think.. i think it just caches the html type pages.. not large files.. but it might be able to cache downloads.. [01:30] The_Beard just do like me, don't help anymore; You cannot argue with an op, just let it go :D [01:30] cabrey: That is the way I planned to go, but I wanted to see if I have to upgrade say from 9.04 to 9.10, am I screwed without a /home? [01:30] neopsyche: but even then squid tries not to cache large things forever.. [01:30] •Dr_Willis_• is there any way? [01:30] hmm, I turned the graphics down to no effects and alt-tabbing doesn't seem to crash any more [01:30] zortec, you are not :) [01:31] •Dr_Willis_• yes.. i am looking for a solution for this [01:31] zortec: Only for reinstalling a separate /home is handy. For upgrading, it doesn't matter [01:31] neopsyche: i would say check the squid docs. it might have some options to cach specific files for large sizes/times. [01:31] neopsyche: squid is very flexiable. :) [01:31] •Dr_Willis_• I am pleased it seems you understand exactly what I need [01:31] neopsyche: last iused it was 2 years ago. [01:31] does anybody know of a way to set which wireless network should be connected to first from within network manager? [01:31] •Dr_Willis_• I really want to try set this up to test it [01:31] Kalmi, geirha: Ok, thanks and if you don't mind I have a few other questions that I've ran into problems with on ubuntu [01:32] neopsyche: it is handy for a home lan for 4+ machines. :) but ive never seen it used to cache youtube bvideos [01:32] neopsyche, I like those dots around the nick; how do you do that? [01:32] zortec, go on.. :) [01:32] Ubuntu doesn't recognize my cdrom... it's not showing up in /media/cdrom or /dev/cdrom and I'm not sure how to get the hardware working [01:32] •Dr_Willis_• I would like to set it up to keep the FLV files for at least 1 year [01:32] Also when doing the partitioning, does it matter if I use 3 primary partitions or should I use 1 primary and 2 logical? [01:32] neopsyche: good luck. :) time for some serious reading of the config files for squid [01:32] ubuntu simply, ROCKS ! [01:32] •Dr_Willis_• It could also check back to youtube.com etc.. to see if the file is still available each month and if not.. delete [01:33] neopsyche: google for 'squid cache flv' has a few hits. :) [01:33] Dr_Willis_, youtube videos are not even cached for me by the browser :S [01:33] •Dr_Willis_• you think it could be done? [01:33] hey when i try to start virtual box i get: failed to create the virtualbox com object in ubuntu [01:33] •Dr_Willis_• thanks [01:33] !details | Supermiguel [01:33] Supermiguel: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:33] Supermiguel, full error please [01:34] Supermiguel, have you added yourself to the virtualbox group? [01:34] neopsyche: and.. first google hit is a thread.. that points to the squid FAQ/docs// :) rtfming once again is the answer.. heh [01:34] Supermiguel, we need that error message that is in CAPS... [01:34] neopsyche: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/DynamicContent/YouTube [01:34] sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers miguel [01:34] says VERR_ACCESS_DENIED [01:34] zortec: it doesn´t matter if you do not want to have more than 4 partitions [01:35] Supermiguel, try through the GUI [01:35] zortec: Ububntu doesn't care if partitions are on primary or logical partitions. Just remember there's a maximum of 4 primary partitions, and the extended counts as one primary. [01:35] Supermiguel, System > Administration > Users and Groups [01:35] cabrey, im thats where i get the error [01:35] zortec, how did you test the livecd than? if the cd is not working? [01:35] cabrey, ohh ok let me try [01:36] cabrey, yes im a group member [01:36] Kalmi_: I haven't been able to test any live cd... because of my graphics problem [01:36] Kalmi_: I had to use the minimal install cd which boots into the installer [01:36] Supermiguel, try to start it from the terminal [01:36] Supermiguel, VirtualBox, that is [01:36] I'm uising system monitor to see why this computer is so slow, and the monitor says cpu usage is 100% pretty much all of the time [01:36] I'm currently in 8.04, and I just installed 9.04 on a brand new drive. However, I cannot seem to get internet in the 9.04 boot, while I can in this 8.04 boot, help? [01:37] craigbass1976, switch to the process tab and see what is taking up resources [01:37] pianoboy3333, wireless, or regular ethernet [01:37] craigbass1976: wireless [01:37] boa noite [01:38] pianoboy3333, what's your card? [01:38] lspci says: 05:04.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 100 22Mbps Wireless Interface [01:39] 22Mbps... odd :) [01:39] Needs Moar MPBS! [01:39] pianoboy3333, I can't help a while bunch right now, but I'd start with putting "ACX 100" (in quotes) into google, along with ubuntu [01:40] cabrey, nothing really. Top however show xorg using 70 something % and gnome using another 20 [01:40] dr_willis_: Kalmi_: what's the standard now? its a really old card, the computer came with a usb wireless device, but I had to use ndiswrapper a while ago and it was a mess, then it kept freezing [01:40] craigbass1976: alright, thanks [01:40] craigbass1976, can you sort it by CPU usage [01:40] craigbass1976, also, make sure all user processes are shown [01:41] pianoboy3333: no idea.. I rarely mess with wireless any more. :) either it works great.. or it dont.. and i use the wires i got ran all over the house. :) [01:41] cabrey, I bet it's because I didn't fire up the system monitor as root... [01:41] it will start as root but not ass the user [01:41] craigbass1976, you can try that Alt-F2 gksu gnome-system-monitor [01:42] pianoboy3333, 54 mbits... [01:42] haha [01:42] when i try to download something it says:This link needs to opened with an application. why does it say this? [01:42] its an old a/b card [01:42] Supermiguel, do you know if the virtualbox kernel was compiled? [01:42] to open virtualbox i have to type sudo /usr/bin/VirtualBox, is there a way to make it where i just need to type virtualbox? [01:43] cabrey, it was [01:43] pianoboy3333, found this but your card is ancient as far as cards go http://acx100.sourceforge.net/ [01:43] cabrey, seems to be xorg [01:43] !Xorg [01:43] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

I notice :) [01:43] craigbass1976, low, there is a high cpu usage bug [01:43] craigbass1976, let me find the link [01:44] How do you search for packages from command line?

[01:45] arthus: does the partition still exist? [01:45] should the restricted drivers package be on the install cd? i know that it doesn't install by default, but does the cd have it, so that I can install the package off the cd as a repos? [01:45] jrib: I've looked at apt-get but it doesn't have a way to search. Is dpkg what is needed? [01:45] arthus, it is probably not mounted now [01:45] jrib: yes, but there's nothing in it [01:45] pianoboy3333: I think so [01:45] there is some added "profile" system that I want to not use [01:45] pianoboy3333, no [01:45] sorry it says it says:This link needs to opened with an application.Send to: why does it say this?

[01:45] threexk: no, you need to read the link :) [01:45] threexk: apt-cache search [01:46] threexk: see also apt-file [01:46] Kalmi_: jrib: alright, well I'm gonna at least try modprobing acx, and see if that helps at all [01:46] Supermiguel ; what you want to do is make an alias for that [01:46] when i try to download something it says:This link needs to opened with an application.send to: why does it say this? [01:46] Supermiguel, what do you need sata support for in vbox? [01:46] Supermiguel: err.. i dont have to do 'sudo' here. Thats weird.. I am using the sun virtualbox package.. not virtalbox-ose version (thats the one in the repos) [01:47] yep i got it working [01:47] thanks all [01:47] Supermiguel: You are using OSE? or the one from Suns birtualbox site? [01:47] i was using OSE [01:47] but i just installed the one from the webste [01:47] Supermiguel, Dr_Willis_: add yourself to the vbox group and logout and log back in... after that you will be able start vbox without sudo [01:47] Supermiguel: there is a special virtualbox GROUP also the users may need to be in. [01:47] craigbass1976, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HighCPU [01:47] pw-toxic, lm-sensors? [01:47] ;) [01:48] Kalmi_: should there be any restrictions on the account that I should change? I found when I went to the users/groups gui, that I originally had the checkbox next to "access wireless connections" unchecked [01:48] •Dr_Willis_• did you get pvt msg? [01:48] i have a question [01:48] pianoboy3333, dunno... [01:48] jrib, losher: apt-file looks to be what I needed, thanks. (I am trying to search for packages not yet installed.) [01:48] I have two disks, one is the Secondary Master (Ubuntu), the other is the Primary Slave (Windows XP). Is there a guide somewhere on how to configure GRUB to boot XP? (The guides I've found have assumed they are on the same disk, under different partitions) [01:48] neopsyche: nope.. i got them all basically blocked.. :) [01:48] threexk: apt-file doesn't do that [01:48] Kalmi_: alright, I'll bb [01:48] threexk: apt-cache search does that [01:48] ok [01:48] craigbass1976, yes i found it ;) thanks ;) it works [01:49] please anyone, how to automatically connect broadband at startup? [01:49] craigbass1976, now there is temp1 temp2 and temp3.. how do i know what is what? [01:49] Question: In the repository there is no 64-bit version of a package that I want. Is there someone I should inform of this? [01:49] neopsyche: and all i know on squid - is very little.. and covered in the squid docs. :) [01:49] Ryan_Delaney: what package? [01:49] arthus, find the partition for it using gparted... you are looking for something like /dev/sda4 [01:49] jrib: zsnes [01:49] •Dr_Willis_• what do you think... of this .. could it work? .. http://cachevideos.com/ [01:49] FrozenFire look at your devices.list file, this will interpret the real drive/partitions against grubs entryd [01:49] pw-toxic, no idea; I aint used lmsensors in a couple years [01:49] Ryan_Delaney: bugs.ubuntu.com, but my guess is it doesn't build on 64bit [01:49] lukilla ; what's your question? [01:50] when i try to download something it says:This link needs to opened with an application. why does it say this? [01:50] neopsyche: no idea on what can work. From what i read those videos sites do specific things to 'break' caching of their videos.. [01:50] !repeat | lukilla [01:50] lukilla: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:50] lukilla ; what are you trying to download? [01:50] jrib, he didn't repeat it... [01:50] when i try to download something it says:This link needs to opened with an application. why does it say this? [01:50] is there a setting i can adjust so that when i maximize a window it expands underneath the gnome-panel? [01:50] neopsyche: try it and see is all you can do i guess. [01:50] a game [01:50] Kalmi_: that's the 10th time I read that question in the last 5 minutes [01:51] lukilla ; if it is an .exe, you will probably have to run it in Wine [01:51] •Dr_Willis_• Thanks ;-) [01:51] how do i do this [01:51] crash, in network-manager under edit connectios broadband tap, edit should be a box for auto connect [01:51] not how i mean where is the wine tool [01:51] does poptop allow for multiple client connections? [01:52] what program could i use to show cpu/gpu/mobo temps in the taskbar ? [01:52] jrib, ok.. sorry... I just automatically ignored it everytime... because I couldn't make heads or tails of it... [01:52] when i try to download something it says:This link needs to opened with an application. why does it say this? Because you have yet to follow the direction given to you 3hrs ago? [01:52] is there any way to find what user is using hdd ? ...for ex: if i see in top wa 100% ...to see who's the one that is using 100 % of hdd ...at least what process [01:52] lukilla ; you can look for it in the repositories, or type "sudo apt-get install wine" in the terminal [01:52] lukilla, just click save instead of open [01:52] xcerca: what is taskbar? [01:53] LinuxNIT, do you want to utilize all the space of your screen? [01:53] i did click save [01:53] !maximus [01:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about maximus [01:53] jrib, xcerca:... I assume he meant gnome-panel [01:53] Kalmi_: probably, but I never assume anything in this channel [01:54] yea , the gnome- panel [01:54] could conky do somthing like that if propely configured ? [01:54] lukilla ; what game is it? what is the file extension? (example : .exe, .tar.gz, etc) [01:55] im on 8.04 and i relize ithe repos arent up to date??? what should i do [01:55] .exe [01:55] it's maple story [01:55] sere , just get 9.04 [01:55] lukilla ; you will need Wine to run that [01:55] guys where do u define your vhosts in apache....which conf file? [01:55] xcerca: never\ [01:55] ok [01:55] jrib: ah, I see it now. The "package cache" is an index of the package repository stored locally? (Can't find a definition of "package cache".) [01:55] sere: What do you mean not up to date? [01:56] sere Repos not up to date.. Ubuntu tends to provide tried and tested software instead of the bleeding edge.. Read up on backports and proposed repos.. [01:56] cabrey, yes [01:56] sere: in terminal type.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:56] cabrey, and i dont want to hide the panel [01:56] threexk: yes [01:56] lukilla ; as of april 2007, the game does not run in ubuntu, so you may be out of luck [01:56] need some help with wireles [01:57] lukilla : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6053&iTestingId=10665 [01:57] sere: what do you mean 'the repos aren't up to date'? [01:57] i dont want to upgrade lol i want the lts.... i just wanna the newer 9.04 software [01:57] LinuxNIT, you might want to look into maximus [01:57] if i see in top wa 100%..is there any way to see what process is using 100 % of hdd ? [01:57] sere Look at backports [01:57] Hi again everyone [01:57] Jack_Sparrow: 8.04 backports? [01:58] sere yes [01:58] !backports [01:58] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [01:58] ok thank you [01:58] cabrey, is that a package or an option? [01:58] Jack_Sparrow: can i add it in the synaptic [01:58] sere yes [01:58] LinuxNIT, a package [01:59] LinuxNIT, it will automatically maximize every window [01:59] hmm [01:59] cabrey, not quite what i had in mind [01:59] can anyone help or guide me. I have a linksys wmp11 pci card. My only internet connection is wireless. [01:59] LinuxNIT, well you could delete a panel [01:59] LinuxNIT, so you only have one left & autohide that [02:00] LinuxNIT, are you on a netbook? [02:00] cabrey, i only have one at the moment [02:00] no [02:00] the Netbook Remix does exactly what you're describing [02:00] except it's for netbooks [02:01] right... well i dont want every window to open that way, i just dont want the resistance that the panel gives to moving windows and i dont want it to save the space :-/ [02:01] hi all. i can't seem to get my onboard sound card set up on ubuntu 9.04, is there someone that can help me work through this? [02:01] okey my wifi isnt working from install [02:01] Hi - Setup a new user but does not have Admin rights - How do I change this? [02:01] LinuxNIT, well I have another possibility for you [02:01] how can I totally remove evolution? [02:02] LinuxNIT, you can make it so that windows can be moved above the panel [02:02] guys where do u configure virtual hosts in apache? [02:02] !removing evolution [02:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:02] hello where do I store my OpenSSL certificates? [02:02] ok [02:02] iwconfig shows eth1 as prism 1, in the networks on the top it shows wireless greyd out [02:03] LinuxNIT, do you use compiz? [02:03] cabrey, yes [02:03] is there an app to burn dvds that will take care of splitting files if they don't fit in a disk?? [02:03] how can I totally remove evolution? but nothing else [02:03] hilikus: is it for a backup? [02:03] cabrey, How do I change permissions for this account - Is not Admin rights? [02:03] LinuxNIT, open up the configuration editor (Applications > System Tools) [02:03] LinuxNIT, or gconf-editor in terminal [02:03] lorph, i think its in /etc/ssl/certs [02:03] Hilikus: tried Gnomebaker? [02:04] anyone here have experience dual booting ubuntu with 7? [02:04] cabrey, ok [02:04] Bedon: yes, use OSL2000 [02:04] steve_, System > Administration > Users and Groups [02:04] hello everyone. first time ubuntu user. need some help. [02:04] LinuxNIT, expand apps > compiz > plugins > move > allscreens [02:04] thebackwash yes, but i actually backup to disk and then burn into dvds so it is just like burning regular files, it is just that for say the second session i have only 1GB left in the disk and the backup is say 2GB so it won't fit but i don't want to waste the extra empty space [02:05] how and where do I remove unwanted applications? e.g Opneofffice, Evolution etc? [02:05] Bedon: it works fine. for me. [02:05] tenderruffian http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html is handy to have around [02:05] Pixels, System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [02:05] Bedon: same as with the other windows versions... [02:05] cabrey, ok [02:05] Pixels afaik gnomebaker will just complain that there is not enough space in the disk [02:05] Pixels synaptic but be aware of meta-packages etc. [02:05] and stop [02:06] LinuxNIT, click on options, then in the key panel, de-select the checkbox for constrain_y [02:06] thank you, jack. [02:06] ok [02:06] i need something that fills the remaining space and puts the rest on a new disk [02:06] cabrey, ok - will look at that thanks [02:06] cabrey: when I go to Synaptic Package Manager, theres dozens of evolution references. [02:06] i couldnt get grub to work, was giving me an error 18 every time i tried to load windows, and was trying to use easyBCD but dont think that was installing right [02:06] Jack_Sparrow: whats meta-packages ? [02:06] Hilikus Make sure it is not needing hard drive space to create the burn image. That can eat up your free drive space in a hurry [02:06] I was going to say make an iso, and use the split command, and the write the info to the cds using cdrecord. when you need to put everything back together, you can use cat and then you have an iso again, but that's all fragile, and probably a pain in the butt for most people [02:07] Is it just me, or does dpkg -l *search_term* show three garbage lines at the top? [02:07] Pixels, there are many companion packages for evolution, just uninstall the main one (look at the descriptions) [02:07] it says "CANNOT REMOVE EVOLUTION" [02:07] cabrey, ok thanks thats better :) [02:07] maybe it should say "REFUSE TO REMOVE EVOLUTION" lol [02:07] Jack_Sparrow thats ok, like i said, i dont backup directly to dvd, i just do a hdd file backup and then i MANUALLY burn the files. i found out the hard way that backing up straight to dvd is a pain [02:07] is there way to set some application to be "always on visible workspace", permanently? [02:08] I am having some trouble with pbbuttonsd on an eMac. The Xubuntu jaunty LiveCD worked fine with my Apple keyboard's volume and eject keys, but the installation from the same LiveCD session does not seem to recognize them. [02:08] Pixels, that's because ubuntu-desktop depends on evolution [02:08] Pixels Please lose the caps [02:08] Pixels, you're not allowed to remove it [02:08] Pixels, sorry just remembered [02:08] cabrey, Pixels: of course you are. ubuntu-desktop can be safely removed [02:08] I have checked pbbuttonsd.conf and the settings are exactly the same on both the LiveCd and the installation. [02:08] cabrey: I am now allowed? :) I run an OS that tells me what I must do? lol [02:09] Flannel, there is a possibility that removing ubuntu-desktop will break updates [02:09] I have tried various search queries and could not find any answer. [02:09] Flannel: how do I remove evolution then? [02:09] *possibility* [02:09] Flannel, there is a possibility that removing ubuntu-desktop will break updates <-- is that a fact, or an assumption? [02:09] Pixels, apt-get --purge remove evolution [02:09] threexk: I see a 3 line header, but no garbage... [02:09] please help, my internet is disconnecting again and again, how to set it to auto reconnect. [02:10] Pixels: Its a fact. [02:10] is "sudo apt-get --purge remove evolution" Safe? [02:10] does the swap partition always have to be at the end of a harddrive? [02:10] losher: strange header. It doesn't seem informative? [02:10] cabrey: No, it won't break updates. [02:10] I suspect that it is the keyboard setting. However, I do not know how to change the global keyboard settings (as opposed to those for X). [02:10] crash, edit /etc/network/interfaces [02:10] Flannel: what about apt-get --purge remove evolution.. will that break anything? [02:10] Lovok no [02:10] Pixels: Nope [02:10] Lovok: no it's not compulsory [02:10] eightbitz, there is no support for your card in linux you have to use the ndiswrapper driver in the repo's it is a temp fix as far as i am concerned until you can get a linux supported card http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7319.html [02:11] Pixels: although, you may also want to remove evolution-common [02:11] Flannel: ok well thats what I will do then... sudo apt-get --purge remove evolution [02:11] crash_ : but it is necessary, YES? [02:11] Pixels: OSL2000 ran but when i try to boot from the linux partition with it it does nothing....that mean my grub got messed up? [02:11] caps :/ [02:11] Flannel: ok [02:11] threexk: that doesn't make it garbage. This is garbage: wkd984y954ngkrgir49340e2o>MLMOP [02:11] Bedon: OSL2000 is a boot manager [02:11] Bedon: i douth you installed it lol [02:11] losher: hehe, OK. Thanks, at least I know it's not something I have screwed up [02:11] Bedon: use SuperGrub boot CD === crash_ is now known as crash [02:12] replaces Grub [02:12] Lovok: no, it is not necessary [02:12] thanks [02:12] No, it's not. i've configured my hard drive to have 2 NTFS volume in beginning and one after my swap and ext3 partition [02:12] Bedon: OSL2000 works like a charm for me [02:12] Flannel, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=353973 [02:12] threexk: somewhere there's a man page I'm sure (which I've never read) [02:12] Flannel, that's where I got my info :) [02:12] cabrey: upgrade-manager takes care of all that [02:12] yeah i get to the menu at startup try to boot to the linux drive and just sits there [02:13] Flannel, alright I'll trust you b/c you have more experience :) [02:13] Flannel: ok! removed evolution-common and evolition.. anything else? [02:13] !vnc [02:13] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [02:13] hi [02:13] !tightvnc [02:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about tightvnc [02:13] Pixels: that's all of the big stuff, if not everything [02:15] Flannel: since that, I now get this: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://packages.medibuntu.org jaunty/free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_jaunty_free_binary-i386_Packages) [02:15] !FreeNX [02:15] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [02:15] if i have an ative compact disc recordable CD-R (52x/700MB/80Min) can i burn a dvd to it, or do i need special DVD cds? [02:16] cabrey: the way it "breaks upgades" is that, he wants to have "all of gnome except evolution" without the meta-package, when he upgrades to the next release, where "all of gnome" contains some new app that the current release don't contain, he wont get that application he never had installed automatically installed. [02:17] stew, ahh I got ya [02:17] am I safe to ignore "recommended updates"? [02:17] is there an app to burn dvds that will take care of splitting files if they don't fit in a disk so that if i have 600MB left in a disk it will split a 1.6GB file into a 600MB file (to fill the old disk) and put the extra 1GB in a new disk?? [02:17] Flannel: last removal.. how I remove OO? [02:18] Pixels: Same way. [02:18] anyone have any idea how well SATA hot swapping works? [02:18] Flannel: same as "sudo apt-get remove --purge OO" ? [02:18] Pixels: Nah, it's openoffice.org or some variation thereof. Synaptic will work fine for finding it. [02:18] Pixels: (and removing it) [02:18] Hilikus, download hacha [02:18] Flannel: ok [02:19] felix_ is that just to split or to burn as well? [02:19] Hilikus, just to split [02:19] i'm using nvidia Twinview and i'd like for windows on the left to show up on a panel on the bottom of the left screen and visa versa. is this possible? [02:20] Hilikus, you can pack the files in parts too with zip.. [02:20] oh really? will the unzipper notice that there is a piece missing and ask for the rest? [02:20] Hi. I'm connected to the internet on my desktop via ndiswrapper on a wg111t dongle. However, I have trouble connecting to my network, and when the network manager does say that I am connected, I am not even connected to my local network. (I can't ping my router.) This happened after I reinstalled the drivers after I upgraded to Jaunty. Any ideas? [02:20] Is this disk image bootable? [02:21] Hilikus, if some part is not present during decompression you won't see any [02:21] Jack_Sparrow: u still there? [02:21] bert1: you sound a bit confused about the technology. You can burn files to CD-R or to DVD-R if your burner supports both. But a DVD-R will hold about 6 times the amount of data (about 4.3GB) that a CD-R will hold, so they aren't interchangeable and the contents of a DVD simply won't fit on a CD [02:21] Guys, was getting an error like "EXT4-fs: ext4_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 640 not in group (block 3158584599)" so i ran sudo fsck -fp /dev/sdc1 followed by sudo e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sdc1.. seems to have fixed it.. and df -h is showing the data on the mount but i cant see anything when i do an ls inside the mount [02:21] felix_ i wont see any what? [02:22] irc.debian.org === Breann is now known as bre === bre is now known as Breee [02:22] Hilikus, you need all parts to decompress em. [02:22] sere Yes.. But not for long [02:22] losher: you're right, i'm confused. my question is will the physical round plastic orange disc sitting in front of me that i can throw like a frisbee be able to handle like 6.4 GB if i burn it as a DVD? sorry if i sound ignorant (its bc i am) [02:23] isn't there a way to "poll" the best software/hardware on this IRC server in a different channel? [02:23] !poll [02:23] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:23] Jack_Sparrow: i did what you said and still no luck with granule and others....can i just add 9.04 repos? [02:23] thanks [02:23] Flannel: can I safely use Ubuntu for netbanking etc, without installing all the "recommended updates"? All I installed were all the recent "Important updates", Is that enough to keep Ubuntu safe? [02:23] Right now, my network manager tells me I'm connected to the internet, but in reality, I'm not even on my local network. Any ideas? [02:24] felix_ i know, but what im wondering is if the "container" will know that it is a split file, because i was going to split the file with "split" but if i do that there is nothing in the file indicating that it is not a full file but a piece (unless i make the filename mention that) [02:24] bert1 a cd is supposed to hold 700 meg single layer dvd at 4.7 or so and I dont know about dbl layer [02:24] Joseph, wired or wireless? [02:24] dj_segfault: It is a wg111t wireless dongle. [02:24] felix_ whereas i think with a zip file it will know and actually ask for the rest when unzipping [02:24] Dual-layer discs hold 8.5 GB Jack_Sparrow [02:25] ty [02:25] Joseph: what does iwconfig say? [02:25] did Flannel leave? [02:25] Jack_Sparrow: do you know? [02:25] Jack_Sparrow - so, like, if you want to burn a DVD and you are at best-buy, do you buy special DVD cds? is there a difference in the size allowed on the CD, or just in the files and way you burn to the CD? [02:25] is the HCL list located at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsIntel#miniPCI a good way to see if your mini-pci-E card will work? [02:25] Pixels, he's here [02:25] Hilikus, with hacha you get parts from a file and can give a different name. zip parts has partXXX extension (i think). rar has .rar for the first and rXX for next (being XX numbers from 0-9) [02:25] dj_segfault: Hold on, I got "disconnected" again, let me reconnect.... [02:26] cabrey: would you know? you experienced in ubuntu as much as jack and Flannel ? [02:26] felix_ oh cool, but it looks like it is not free, is it? [02:26] Pixels, what's your question? [02:26] bert1: if its a CD blank, the maximum content is about 750M. If it's a DVD blank, the maximum is about 4.3GB. There are dual-layer DVD blanks that will hold about 8.6GB. They are not interchangeable. You must buy the correct kind of blanks, and also your burner must support the kind you buy. To hold 6.4GB you'd need a single DVD-dual, or a pair of DVD-Rs, or about 8 CD-Rs [02:26] bert1 cd and dvd are very different. use the right one for each purpose, cd can be audio or data or bootable etc. [02:26] cabrey: can I safely use Ubuntu for netbanking etc, without installing all the "recommended updates"? All I installed were all the recent "Important updates", Is that enough to keep Ubuntu safe? [02:26] so i went through the pocket guide, and i'm having a very specific issue that he's not really going into detail about... [02:27] Hey. I'm having trouble getting MythTV working, but I think it's an apache configuration issue. I'm very confused about how Ubuntu has the various apache directories laid out. Can I ask about that here? [02:27] Does anyone have a guide to installing vnc on 9.04? [02:27] tenderruffian We are here to help [02:27] losher: ah! thank you. exactly what i was asking. Jack_Sparrow: ok, got it, thanks [02:27] Pixels, Important Updates are urgent security updates, while recommended updates are usually bug fixes and features [02:27] wonderful. [02:27] dj_segfault: many ppl have trouble with MythTV [02:27] Hilikus, im not too deep in other compresions as bzip or tar, etc. dunno if they can split. thats why i recommended zip or rar. you can download the manager from the repositories [02:27] well, i am having problem getting wifi to work on my ubuntu installed laptop [02:27] cabrey: so is that a Yes or a No? lol [02:27] !wifi [02:27] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:27] felix_ excellent, thanks [02:27] and i'm trying ndiswrapper and i'm not sure how to get it to work. [02:27] tenderruffian I dont mean to spam you with factoids , but they do help [02:28] can I run Ubuntu from Windows? using uwiki or something?> [02:28] Where can I download repository on ISO for 9.04 AMD64? [02:28] Pixels, I guess it is a yes, but I don't understand why you don't update everything. [02:28] they are kind of helping, i found out about ndiswrapper from the pocket guide [02:28] !wubi | Pixels [02:28] Pixels: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [02:28] cabrey: because im on a monthly quota. only get 6GB per month [02:28] just, when i click the executable, it's not doing anything. [02:28] dj_segfault: Sorry, It's not connecting, I'll restart .... my usual means of reconnecting without restrting froze on me. (sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper; sudo modprobe ndiswrapper) [02:28] tenderruffian see the one on wifi [02:28] dj_segfault: the webmyth portion is optional. Does all the other stuff work yet via mythfrontend? [02:28] Or can I use debpartial script from Windows... [02:28] pixels: use virtual box its free [02:29] does wubi break windows vista or compromise the security of Ubuntu? [02:29] Pixels: MythTV is working great. Problem is MythWeb apache configuration is causing a directory listing when it should be running (I think) mythweb.pl. I think perl is not working in it. [02:29] Dr_Willis Can you help me regarding squid.. i am wondering how exactly it works [02:29] Pixels, then you should be good. Common sense is one of the best tools :) [02:29] I read that Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu 9.04. If anyone here has experience with Mint, is there a big difference good or bad? [02:29] ok. [02:29] rkymtndave_: im using virtualbox right now.. Vista is my host and ubuntu guest.. I jus thought wubi would be better, no? [02:29] losher: Yeah, MythTV proper works fine, but I need MythWeb too. [02:29] !mint > mr_frostee [02:29] mr_frostee, please see my private message [02:29] I'm having a really annoying problem on 9.04 64bit with flash (which also occurred on 8.10)....Flash works, but say, after 20 mins of having Firefox and viewing flash videos, they just stop loading, leaving me with a blank space where the video should be [02:29] Anyone know where to get the drivers for creative soundblaster X-Fi? [02:29] Joeseph: Connected or not, iwconfig should output something. [02:29] In bit pim, what do I have to do to make it see my phone? My phone is compatible, and the Bluetooth Preferences in the taskbar sees my phone just fine. [02:29] i was looking at the documentation page before, again [02:29] wubi is prety resource intensive [02:29] I installed flash from the extras repository via apt. [02:30] i'm having trouble finding some things in terms of specifics [02:30] rkymtndave_: im runniung xchat from Ubuntu right now, through virtualbox... so wubi wouldnt be better? [02:30] tenderruffian, try this http://wiki.debian.org/NdisWrapper [02:30] mr_frostee, im using gNewSense right now. i like it better than ubuntu [02:30] dj_segfault: the hard part is over then. What os version? [02:30] Pixels, performace-wise... yes... but there are drawbacks... like you can't your ntfs partition from a wubi install [02:30] mr_frostee, Mint is basically all codecs, non-free , and other stuff which is a legal grey area to redistribute [02:30] would anyone mind just walking me through one-on-one? [02:30] rkymtndave_: ok.. and would I need to reboot windows everytime I wanted to load wubi? [02:30] nah vm or dual boot [02:30] pixels ur an idiot [02:30] Pixels, you can't *use* your ntfs partition from a wubi install [02:30] Kalmi_: can't your ntfs partition from a wubi install? [02:30] sere Please dont [02:30] i'm trying to set up mine to dual boot with win 7 [02:30] earthlander_, it was released some time ago. Download and build newest ALSA. Use Giftwrap program to build DEB [02:31] Kalmi_: so what would I use? A seperate 20GB partiton ok? [02:31] Pixels, yes [02:31] dj_segfault: Do you want all of my iwconfig, or just the pertinent info? (as in the wlan0 info) [02:31] tenderruffian, try they link i sent you it is a walk thru [02:31] okay.. [02:31] pixels: not sure about that, dont think so [02:31] Kalmi_: when I need to reboot everytime I want to load Ubuntu? [02:31] losher: I just rebuilt my server, replacing Fedora 8 with Jaunty AMD64 [02:31] Pixels, Kalmi_: Sure you can use the NTFS partition from wubi, it's mounted at /host [02:32] I think i will stick with Virtualbox then :) [02:32] Can I download ISO images with repository of Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64? [02:32] Pixels, when using wubi? Yes, you have to reboot into Ubuntu [02:32] geirha: how is wubi better than runnung ubuntu as a guest using Virtualbox? [02:32] i think i might need something a little more basic than this, hah. [02:32] dj_segfault: If it helps any, I am connected to the internet for about 5 seconds after it initially connects. [02:32] Joeseph: just wlan0 [02:32] Pixels, you can use the nice 3d stuff in wubi [02:32] Joeseph: There's connected, and there [02:32] Kalmi_: hehe ok :) [02:33] Pixels: I'd recommend installing ubuntu properly rather than wubi. [02:33] Kalmi_, actually virtualbox has gained support for 3D [02:33] i am a first time linux user with no programming experience.. [02:33] Joeseph: There's connected, and there [02:33] dj_segfault: I have mythweb working on 8.04/32/Intel. I had trouble with the scripts & passwords initially, of course... [02:33] Kalmi_, not as good as native tho [02:33] how do I give Bitpim permission to use my bluetooth adapter to connect to my phone? [02:33] cabrey, but compiz still doesn't work in it, does it? [02:33] Joeseph: There's connected, and ther's getting an IP address. Can you look at your logs for DHCP stuff? [02:33] Kalmi_, compiz does work inside virtualbox [02:33] geirha: I cannot, as the alternative install wouldnt let me install whilst Vista is on C: [02:33] Kalmi_, you have to make sure to install the additions [02:33] cabrey, oh... wow... I'm getting outdated :D [02:34] Could someone please help me with my pbbuttonsd issue that I mentioned earlier? [02:34] cabrey, thx for the info [02:34] Kalmi_, of course a virtual machine is still slower than native [02:34] nibsa1242b, add yourself to dip group and read BluetoothDialup manual [02:34] Pixels: Haven't tried the alternative for a long while, but I'm guessing that means the alternative can't resize partitions. If that is the case, you can resize the partition from vista, making some free space for ubuntu to use. [02:34] dj_segfault: I had set it up as a static ip.... Let me pastebin my iwconfig... but it'll take a second, since I have no internet on the pc that I used the command on. [02:34] Wormik: ok thanks [02:34] Ubuntu 9 detects that I have AC97 audio and seems like it has the drivers setup, but still no audio. Fresh install, any help please? [02:34] when I load citibank.com, it says to intall missing plugings.. when I click on "install missing plugins: it then says unable tio find any [02:35] Joeseph: ACK [02:35] what can I do? [02:35] nibsa1242b, hcitool scan, hcitool 'your phone adress', sudo 'your favourite text editor' /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf [02:35] Type "alsamixer" in a terminal MrKlean. What appears? [02:35] Is the volume turned down or muted? [02:35] Pixels, citibank might rely on ActiveX [02:36] Pixels, which is a windows only proprietary extension to Internet Explorer [02:36] cabrey: no way.. maybe its flash? [02:36] nibsa1242b, write adress. bind=yes. rfcomm = nubmer of "Dialup networking" rfcomm adress in sdptool [02:36] Pixels, have you installed flash? [02:36] Wormik: I don't have a dip group! === Ademan_ is now known as Ademan [02:36] MrKlean: Matt suggested alsamixer because it has controls for volumes that other mixers don't have. Often one of them is muted or low. [02:36] function snd_ctl _open failed for default: no such file or directory [02:36] hmm. [02:36] Anybody know where to get a Dell v505w driver for Jaunty? It's driving me crazy that I can't use the wife's new printer with my computer. [02:36] cabrey: not sure, how can I tell? [02:36] nibsa1242b and /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart. Enjoy! create connection to the Net or KMobileTools [02:36] Pixels, go to youtube or something [02:37] have a problem after upgrading from intrepid to jaunty. Boot to single-mode is fine. normal boot puts garbage on video and makes keyboard / mouse completely frozen. Can't switch to console. Can ssh in. [02:37] nibsa1242b, maybe not a dip? 3 letters and d is first... [02:37] rweait, what graphics card do you have? [02:37] cabrey: it says this when I go to tube: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. [02:37] !flash | Pixels [02:37] Pixels: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:37] cabrey: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AQ [Radeon 9600] [02:37] Wormik: don't have anything like that [02:38] What card are you using MrKlean? [02:38] Hello [02:38] rweait, did you have ATI's drivers installed before? [02:38] Is there a way to run .bat files in ubuntu? [02:38] probably. [02:38] Wormik: actually there is a dip group... how do I add it to myself [02:38] rweait, from Hardware Drivers window? [02:38] matt__: integrated ac97 on a ECS rs400-a, let me check brand on it [02:38] Can I download ISO images with repository of 9.04 AMD64? === orochi is now known as orochi_ [02:38] hello [02:38] Kalmi_: that link doesnt have flash for 9.04 [02:38] hi all [02:38] dj_segfault: http://pastebin.com/d2fe6b640 there is my iwconfig output. [02:38] cabrey: perhaps from ati install disk? [02:39] cabry: not certain/ [02:39] nibsa1242b, I don't remebmer (sitting in Internet cafe in Windows). Watch other groups [02:39] Wormik: ok, I'll figure it out thanks [02:39] how do I install flash on 9.04? [02:39] nibsa1242b, sudo 'your favourite editor' /etc/group , after this read BluetoothDialup manual [02:39] matt__: all I can find on it is:  Realtek ALC655 6-Channel audio CODEC Compliant with AC'97 2.3 specification [02:39] Pixels, just install the flashplugin-nonfree package === TheFunkbomb_ is now known as TheFunkbomb [02:39] Also matt__: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=507&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Specification&MenuID=1&LanID=0 [02:40] rweait, you don't want ATI's drivers, they aren't supported for your card on Jaunty [02:40] rather use [02:40] !ati [02:40] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:40] Anybody needs latest flashrom deb for amd64? I have this! [02:40] rweait, you want the open source driver [02:40] flashrom from repository doesn't see my chipset [02:40] hi [02:40] Joeseph: Looks good. You're definitely talking to the hardware. Do you see any entries when you run "iwlist wlan0 scanning" [02:40] anyone uses vmware on ubuntu ? [02:41] Kalmi_: flashplugin-nonfree, ok, brb [02:41] cabrey: is there an apt-get install I should run to do that? [02:41] dj_segfault: I see three entries with that command. [02:41] Hi there. I have been monitoring my system for awhile and it seems that instead of using both CPU's (I have a dual core intel), it instead just uses the single CPU and that maxes out, causing my PC to lag. [02:41] rweait, sudo apt-get remove fglrx [02:41] Is there any way to fix this ? [02:41] Kalmi_: flashplugin-nonfree, worked, cheers [02:42] timewriter: yes, workstation 6.0.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 [02:42] bartek what cpu is it? [02:42] Joeseph: Very odd. You sure it's set up static? Just for grins, grep -i your logs for dhcp. [02:42] rweait, my mistake it is actually sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx [02:42] hello people [02:42] thanks losher , i managed to install it [02:42] can anyone help me with a .bat file? [02:42] just chmoded +x the script [02:42] how do i run it on ubuntu? [02:42] cabrey: running it now... [02:42] bartek: How do you know it [02:42] hello [02:43] bartek: How do you know it's only using 1 CPU? [02:43] i need a little help [02:43] rafase282: dosemu or wine [02:43] dj_segfault: I think I may have been running my DHCP one there... I'll see if the other works or something.... it just all seems very strange to me. [02:43] if I run ubuntu as a guest using virtualbox, and Vista is the host. Can anything that infects Vista "jump over" into the guest Ubuntu and compromise my netbanking? [02:43] I need to install ubuntu but I have my 1tb /home as ext4. I'd like to use the LTS ubuntu stable + kde3 + 2.6.28+(for ext4 support) and I have a rt26 wifi [02:43] dj_segfault: I'm just looking at what conky is telling me, this is why I am unsure if its actually accurate but it seems silly for this PC to lag using only Firefox, Terminal, and one other app [02:43] vlc or smplayer ? [02:43] any ideas if it is possible [02:44] Pixels: Maybe, but the it wouldn't work correctly [02:44] Anyone yet tried LXDE on an ubuntu box? I tried a knoppix cd the other day and was surprised; even on a livecd the computer was hammering along [02:44] anyone know how to set compiz to show a preview window when the window is not selected? [02:44] tkmr: can you say that again using better grammar,, couldnt understand what you said [02:44] Do you know where is ISO images of Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64 repository? [02:44] dj_segfault: Hmmm.... it's asking for my WEPKEY when it is clearly correct after I disconnected and reconnected. Is that a symptom of any problems you know of? [02:44] earthlander_, install ccsm [02:45] bartek: What time was conky's entry? [02:45] ok [02:45] thanx [02:45] Wormik, It's not here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download? [02:45] cabrey: looks good! [02:45] Pixels: sorry. It may be able to jump over, but the virus/trojan/whatever is infecting your Vista won't work in Ubuntu [02:45] Joeseph: I've never been able to get WEP working. Sorry. I just hide my ESSID and block by MAC address in the wireless router. [02:46] rweait: did you reboot yet? [02:46] dj_segfault: it's updated every 15 sec [02:46] Sorry MrKlean I can't really find anything that could help you. [02:46] cabrey: going across the room to check it now. Logon window looks awesome! [02:46] Pixels: So even if it does jump over, your Ubuntu won't become compromised [02:46] tkmr: ok good, so I can use netbanking etc with confidence [02:46] rweait, sounds good [02:46] dj_segfault: Hmm. okay. well.... I can't really do that.. hahahaha. Oh well. I'll do some more trial and error.......... [02:46] bartek: heh, I thought conky was a user here who told you something. Hold... [02:46] matt__: It's ok [02:46] It seems silly that my current load is at 0.99 .. and just shot up to 1.07 when I ojnly have firefox and banshee open [02:47] cabrey i already have that but it wont show preview window unless the window is already up on desktop screen [02:47] tkmr: what about if vista is infected with a keylogger.. will the vista keylogger pick up anything I type in the Virtualbox Ubuntu Firefox? [02:47] Pixels: Yes. AFAIK there aren't any "viruses" for Linux, just because there are so many distros and each one is so different, it is difficult to make one that would work across all of the distros [02:47] I have tons of memory available, and never really swap. Thinking CPU is the issue here for speed [02:47] earthlander_, ahh i understand you now, I think that is a limitation of compiz [02:47] unitedpotsmokers: interesting nickname you junkie lol [02:47] Pixels: I'm not sure about that. It's possible. I would say likely, as it is reading your keystrokes at a hardware level As far as I know. [02:47] cabrey: thanks so much. Even dual monitors are working! [02:47] nah [02:47] thats wack [02:47] Can anyone recommend a NES and SNES emulator? [02:48] bartek: I would verify with another tool. What does System Monitor say? [02:48] vmware process dies for me [02:48] tkmr: so you are uncertain? [02:48] Anybody know where to get a Dell v505w driver for Jaunty? It's driving me crazy that I can't use the wife's new printer with my computer. [02:48] im using 9.04 64bit [02:48] rweait, :) [02:48] seyfarth, nesticle for nes [02:48] craigbass1976, I don't found [02:48] seyfarth, I never had an snes, so I never looked into an emulator. Stella is cool too if you ever had an atari [02:48] dj_segfault: you mean like top? It shows the same thing really, Cpu(s): 14%us, 3%sy [02:48] Pixels: Right. I would think that the keylogger would pick up anything in virtual machine, or whatever, because that's software, and is still "running" in vista. [02:48] bartek: use htop [02:48] But even at these lower levels, I have slight lag.. maybe it's just the apps I'm using [02:49] setting a printer up on ubuntu 9.04 to a hp laser on xp, any tips? [02:49] ive heard of people being able to fix that [02:49] bartek: System-> Administration -> System Monitor [02:49] cabrey: ok, hmm, htop does show both CPU's being used. [02:49] I FOUND!! ftp://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za/pub/linux/ubuntu-unofficial-packages-dvd/ [02:49] bartek: It shows the two cores separately [02:49] tkmr: I just reading a website.. it says someone tested it and the keylogger didnt pick up the virtualbox linux [02:49] I guess I need to find out why my load is so high constantyly [02:50] Wormik, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download had links to it. You pick your mirror, click the dot that says 64 bit, and of you go [02:50] off [02:50] Pixels: Hmmm... ok. I would do some additional research just to be sure. [02:50] sagaci, eh? Not sure what you mean about the printer [02:50] bartek: Whether you're using one or two cores, and why your load is so high, are two separate questions. For my money, Firefox is usually to blame for the latter. But did you try System Monitor to test the former? [02:51] sagaci, you're sharing out from ub to xp? [02:51] hmm any way to have different wallpapers for different workspaces with gnome / compiz (preferrably one that keeps the desktop useable) [02:51] dj_segfault: I did, thanks for the suggestion, I am indeed using two cores .. my overlooking, but now I'm curious on the latter issue :-) [02:51] sagaci, you want to connect to a network printer? [02:51] alephzero, yeah that would rule [02:51] And yes Firefox is probably to blame, but I haven't been able to find a better alternative on Linux [02:52] bartek, Chrome is getting closer and closer :) [02:52] bartek, epiphany was no good for you? [02:52] alephzero: I don't believe so. I tried and failed. However, I was able to do something cooler, which is rotate wallpapers every 30 minutes in cron [02:52] matrix> i know theres a way using the desktop cube, but i gotta turn off the gnome desktop for it to work [02:52] cabrey: oh I know! I am using Chrome sometimes, but it's not quite there yet [02:52] bartek, try epiphany [02:52] craigbass1976: epiphany is pretty bad imo [02:52] bartek: top should tell all. [02:52] I only use it as secondary [02:52] bartek, i use it full time :) i LOVE it [02:52] bartek, elinks (harhar) [02:52] my presentation was printing fine this morning, but then oo crashed and now all it prints is gobbleygook...other apps print fine...can someone please help me sort this out? [02:52] hehe [02:52] cabrey: I find it still crashes a bit unfortunately :/ [02:53] and yes, i've tried openoffice.org channel...it's dead [02:53] bartek; for me the alpha is extremely stable [02:53] bartek, whatever happened to regular mozilla. Became seamonkey, no? THen what? [02:53] dj_segfault: Hmmm... .I'm back on with my static ip.... I'm currently pinging my router for as long as possible to see when it disconnects. [02:53] cabrey: cool, then I guess its getting closer for everyone :-) [02:53] dennister, it usually is. Which channel did you go into? [02:53] hmm it seems Banshee is my CPU culprit [02:53] bartek, IceApe [02:53] using 3% CPU threads.. many of them === zamnedix1 is now known as zamnedix [02:53] Try it. It based on Mozilla 5.0 [02:53] craigbass1976: openoffice.org [02:53] Joeseph: You solved the wep problem? [02:53] alephzero, possible feature request [02:54] bartek: Bad Banchee, No Biscuit! [02:54] dj_segfault: what? :-P [02:54] bartek, what firefox doing? I thought it was the bread and butter of FOSS [02:54] dj_segfault: Seemed to. I just restarted. My router seems to be pingable this time. Getting closer. [02:54] Actually I need to look for a new media player since I dont need Ubuntu to sync my ipod anymore [02:55] matrixblue, oh god no [02:55] So I dont need banshees ipod syncing [02:55] finally! i got urxvt to have more colors.. hooray! [02:55] craigbass1976: can you help me with this? the presentation is set for tomorrow morning :( [02:55] bartek: I switched to Songbird, which plays, organizes and syncs well. [02:55] dj_segfault: Alright... I'm connected to the internet for now... I just updated the weather applet and it worked.... next try is firefox... [02:55] bartek, banshee mostly crashes for me when trying to get album art [02:55] bartek....what do you use to sync your iPod? [02:56] dennister, gah! I'm not sure. Let me think... Ok to private chat? [02:56] mr_frostee: my mac [02:56] OK, gotta go, since I couldn't get *my* problem solved here. L8R [02:56] cheater [02:56] dj_segfault: Songbird always crashes when I try to load my library (its big), unfortunately. I've given it many attempts and used to use it. [02:56] matrixblue, banshee has been the best experience for me compared to amarok, songbird, rhythmbox, etc [02:56] anyone knows how to install vmware workstation on ubuntu 9 ? [02:56] dj_segfault: It seems to be working this time. Don't know what I did different... Other than pinging my router as soon as I was connected.... but that would seem like an odd thing to keep me connected. [02:56] http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki here's a light weight music player haha :) [02:56] bartek: I have about 3500 songs in Songbird right now. [02:57] timewriter, I have it installed [02:57] Anyone know when Foobar2000 will be coming to Linux? [02:57] cabrey, I agree. It does need some polishing but overall I like it [02:57] Joeseph: Agreed [02:57] where has /etc/iftab gone in 9.04 please? [02:57] eremite: I wish it would [02:57] cabrey , can you tell me how ? [02:57] best media player ever [02:57] i installed it too , but it wont start [02:57] timewriter, yes do you have the cdrom (or download) [02:57] maek, what is iftab for? [02:57] i downloaded the bundle script [02:58] I use Banshee with my iPod, I tried Amarok but that didn't work so well. Banshee seems to be good. [02:58] timewriter, can you tell me the file extension? [02:58] Does anyone know why I would get really bad lag while gaming, but beofre I switched from Wubi to a proper install it worked flawlessly? [02:58] I wish there was a linux version of iTunes though [02:58] just a sec [02:58] its a script [02:58] i chmoded it +x [02:58] Kalmi_: I just cloned an ubuntu vm and eth0 isnt showing up, I assume its tied to the old mac somewhere and /etc/iftab used to list the device and its mac address [02:58] and ./ ran it [02:58] timewriter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:58] and it installed vmware [02:58] timewriter, do sudo ./script [02:58] i did [02:58] dj_segfault: If that turns out to be my solution, I suppose I could write a script that pings my router and have it start on startup.... [02:59] Kalmi_:/etc/network/interfaces [02:59] everything went fine , but vmware doesnt start [02:59] timewriter, any error messages? [02:59] dj_segfault, that has very little to do with iftab... [02:59] didnt checked the log [02:59] timewriter, run vmware from the terminal [02:59] Joeseph: Sounds like a plan. *really gotta go* and get my problem solved. [02:59] that command [02:59] ok , just a sec [02:59] dj_segfault: alright, good luck. [03:00] hm [03:00] /usr/bin/vmware: line 31: 6030 Segmentation fault "$BINDIR"/vmware-modconfig --appname="VMware Workstation" --icon="vmware-workstation" [03:00] and cannot find a lot of modules [03:00] Kalmi_: fyi, its being held by /etc/udev/rules.d/*net.rules [03:00] timewriter, so it did not compile the kernel modules [03:00] yep [03:00] whats to do ? [03:01] anyone know how to include af_packet in 9.04 server kernel? modprobe fails [03:01] timewriter, how did you install that again? [03:01] timewriter, uninstall it first [03:01] matrixblue , downloaded the script and ran it [03:01] http://pastebin.com/m67fdafa6 [03:01] this are the errors [03:01] can someone tell me how i can get the latest packages on 8.04 [03:02] whats the best way to uninstall it , cabrey ? [03:02] I heard that Ubuntu doesn't like AMD processors...is that right? [03:02] hello [03:02] timewriter, maybe the script has a uninstall function [03:02] what was the offtopic ubuntu [03:02] timewriter, did you run the script using sudo? [03:02] room? [03:02] run it again [03:02] matrixblue , yes [03:02] Dethroned, where did you hear that? :o [03:02] im running ubuntu 9.04 64bit [03:03] timewriter, that could be a problem, is vmware 64 bit? [03:03] Dethroned, that's not true. [03:03] yes [03:03] Kalmi...I don't remember...it might have been ATI graphics cards...It was some thingy that didn't work well with Ubuntu [03:03] x86>x64 [03:03] timewriter: looks like this: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/198202 [03:03] !ot|davidt [03:03] davidt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:03] thank you losher [03:03] Where can I download ISO repository for Ubuntu 9.04 AMD64? [03:03] checking it [03:03] Dethroned, it's not that Ubuntu doesn't *like* ATI, it's just ATI releases rather low quality drivers [03:03] Dethroned, the processor and graphics cards a different. And it's more accurate to say that ATI doesn't like Ubuntu [03:04] Guys, was getting an error like "EXT4-fs: ext4_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 640 not in group (block 3158584599)" so i ran sudo fsck -fp /dev/sdc1 followed by sudo e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sdc1.. seems to have fixed it.. and df -h is showing the data on the mount but i cant see anything when i do an ls inside the mount [03:04] Dethroned, ATI dropped support for old cards [03:04] Dethroned, I use ATI graphics on open drivers and they works great for me, compiz and all [03:04] Kalmi...lemme guess...compatibility issues? [03:04] timewriter, make sure you install linux-headers [03:04] and some fairly new cards [03:04] they are already installed [03:04] I use ATi now. Works bad... Unreal Tournament 2004 works slower and slower every minute... If it is UT bug, not ATi... [03:04] can someone tell me how i can get the latest packages on 8.04 [03:05] timewriter, then make sure you install build-essential [03:05] Anybody know where to get a Dell v505w driver for Jaunty? It's driving me crazy that I can't use the wife's new printer with my computer. [03:05] sere, would you like to upgrade to jaunty? [03:05] i installed the vmware-package , but i might have been missing something [03:05] dj segfault /matrixblue might have found a solution to get it to work... [03:05] what version of linux headers do i need ? [03:06] sere sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:06] linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic is already the newest version. [03:06] sere, use Synaptic. Mark all repositories. Make update of list. Press "Update all" button [03:06] matrixblue: So you think I would be ok if I got a computer with the ATI Radeon HD 3200? [03:06] timewriter, sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:06] its already there , cabrey [03:06] build-essential is already the newest version. [03:06] sere: check out the Ubuntu backports page... [03:07] timewriter, what happens when you run /usr/lib/vmware-config.pl as root? [03:07] Dethroned, check online to see if your card is supported [03:07] !upgrade > sere [03:07] sere, please see my private message [03:07] sudo: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl: command not found [03:08] matrixblue: Know where I could find that? [03:08] Dethroned, you can get a HD 3200 [03:08] Okay, critical problem. I upgraded this slow computer from an older version of kubuntu to the latest ubuntu, and now my wife can't play bejewled on facebook anymore, because for some reason it's horribly, horrible slow. [03:08] Dethroned, I'd start with google [03:08] and it will be supported by the current ATI drivers and as a result, 9.04 [03:08] wad, nvidia? [03:08] I've adjusted the display settings to the lowest, on this computer, but that didn't do it. [03:08] Kalmi_, I don't know, it's whatever's on this slow motherboard. Checking.... [03:09] i might just remove it and use virtualbox instead [03:09] wad, lspci can tell you [03:09] Can latest ATi drivers work in 7.10? [03:09] wad, did you do a fresh install? or just run the upgrade program? [03:09] losher: i did but i dont get any new apps :/ [03:09] timewriter, try running the install script again [03:09] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [03:09] ok [03:09] Wormik, 7.10 is unsupported [03:09] I did a fresh install, complete with reformat. [03:09] I actually ran fdisk and nuked the partitions first. [03:09] Wormik: what ATI card do you have? [03:10] downloading it now [03:10] Dethroned, your card is supported but if you want the ati proprietary driver then you need to stay with ubuntu 8.10 and below as ati is behind in updating for the new X server [03:10] Kalmi_, it's an Intel graphics card. All flash apps are super slow... I thought maybe I installed a lame flash player, but I can't figure out how to uninstall whatever I have. [03:10] cabrey , can you tell me whats the best way to remove it ? [03:10] The ATI Radeon HD 3200 is supported by 9.04 [03:11] I think it installed some gnome flash player. I wonder if maybe I should have installed the adobe one. [03:11] cabrey, Radeon HD 3300. I install latest driver and changed xorg.conf from nvidia to fglrx. I see blank screen after starting X, but all works [03:11] !intel | wad fyi [03:11] wad fyi: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [03:11] Anyone know how to uninstall the flash plugin for firefix? [03:11] wad, gnome flash player... um... what? :D [03:11] wad sudo apt-get remove gnash [03:11] timewriter, because it is not a deb, you have to hope vmware put an uninstallation function [03:11] Kalmi_, exactly. Not used to it. [03:11] sere: On my 8.04, I edited /etc/apt/sources.list to add backports, did apt-get update (twicee), then ran update manager, and got a bunch of stuff backported from 9.04 e,g, the new brasero [03:11] * wad tries matrixblue's idea [03:11] !flash > wad [03:11] hey all quick question: if i upgrade from hardy to intrepid do i lose all the configuration and plugin settings i've done with compiz? [03:11] wad, please see my private message [03:11] Llewxam, no [03:11] Package gnash is not installed, so not removed [03:11] :( [03:12] !flash [03:12] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:12] Kalmi_, and to um ... 9.04? jaunty is it? [03:12] losher: do u mind pasting your sources.list...i would really appreciate it [03:12] yes [03:12] they did [03:12] !9.04 | Llewxam [03:12] Llewxam: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 - Please use !torrents [03:12] timewriter, uninstall it and see if you can reinstall and maybe this time the modules will compile [03:12] Kalmi_, same thing then? [03:12] trying now [03:13] yes [03:13] thanks [03:13] timewriter, what is your kernel version? (uname -r) [03:13] sere: I added: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse. Actually, it was already there, I just uncommented it... [03:13] hmm...hopefully this computer will work...8 gigs of ram and the ATI HD 3200...if not then I'll just wait 6 months for the next version of ubuntu [03:13] 2.6.28-11 [03:13] !flash > matrixblue [03:13] wad, try searching in synaptic for flash to find out what flash have you installed... [03:13] matrixblue, please see my private message [03:13] is dropbox worth the download for 9.04? [03:13] !botabuse > matrixblue [03:13] xxuriahxx, I think so [03:14] xxuriahxx, works fine [03:14] i guess it will work now [03:14] Kalmi_, ok [03:14] thank you [03:14] installation was succesful [03:14] yes [03:14] it worked [03:14] timewriter, it's running? [03:15] yes [03:15] thank you for help [03:15] timewriter, yay! :) [03:15] i guess i had the wrong version [03:15] and grabed 6.5.1 [03:15] instead of 6.5.2 [03:15] * cabrey is off to pester vmware to produce a deb [03:15] Grr, I've got adobe flash downloaded, but it doesn't show up in the firefox plugin management screen. [03:16] wad, restart firefox first [03:16] matrixblue, I've done that 5 times now. [03:16] Howdy - We have a server that multiple people store data on using sftp. Is there a way to limit a certain director in maximum size? [03:16] Maybe I should uninstall it. [03:16] Then reinstall. [03:16] I have the Live CD for both Ibex and Jackalope. Is Jackalope better? [03:17] how do i eject my DVD tray, the button on the front seems to have stopped responding, possibly thinking their is a dvd in there when there isn't [03:17] Dethroned, depends on your hardware === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:17] zer0rez, sudo eject /dev/dvdrom [03:17] * wad uninstalls firefox, there is no other way to get rid of a plugin apparently. [03:17] wad, what are you getting when you try to watch a flash video? [03:17] * wad tries [03:17] wad, install adobe-flashplugin, then uninstall it [03:17] wad, uninstalling firefox makes no sense [03:18] installing adobe-flashplugin will overwrite what you have now [03:18] then you can uninstall it :) [03:18] cabrey: thanks [03:18] cabrey, I thought that package was flashplugin-nonfree [03:18] matrixblue, it wants to install a plugin, but the only one it can find is gstreamer-bad. [03:19] Looking for help getting ndiswrapper with WPA working on Ubuntu 9.04. iwconfig is showing the device and I can iwlist scan APs including my own. It's not clear how WPA supplicant works now, it seems to be running with -u (dbus) so I can't kill the process? [03:19] matrixblue, theres like 10 different packages that do the same thing for some reason [03:19] wad sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [03:19] matrixblue, aptitude search flash [03:19] cabrey, point noted [03:20] ubuntu 9 is amazing [03:20] timewriter, yea, I used to be a fedora guy [03:20] how do I restart sound driver [03:20] cabrey: nope(there was no dvdrom in /dev/ but there was dvd and dvdrw, neither worked) [03:20] timewriter, that being said, Fedora 11 might win me back :P [03:20] Guiri: you can impose quotas, but they are per-user, not per-directory, if I recaall correctly... [03:20] nor cdrom nor cdrw [03:20] :( [03:20] heh [03:20] without rebooting [03:20] zer0rez, try sudo eject [03:20] you cant beat debians package managment [03:20] cabrey: I used to be a fedora guy too, till it got unstable... [03:21] zer0rez: try /dev/sro [03:21] matrixblue, looks like it's installing... High hopes! :) [03:21] er /dev/sr0 [03:21] timewriter, idk... rpm 4.7 sounds good [03:21] nope [03:21] earthen, $ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset [03:21] Thanks for your help everyone [03:21] * zer0rez shakes fist at stupid optical drives [03:21] i got enough of chasing oss [03:21] ill stick with this one [03:21] losher: Cool. Any info on that? [03:21] zer0rez, sudo umount /media/cdrom0 [03:21] then sudo eject [03:22] Hi , I have 100mbps connection , when I downloaded 40 gigs of file from one domain in one day , I cann't connect to port 80 of it but I can ping this domain , how can me resolve this problem? [03:22] i need help with my sound [03:22] Hllo; I read that a number of people recommend having a seperate /boot partition, but I do not know where to find out WHY they do that, or what the /boot partition should be set up as (size, filesystem, position on disk) [03:22] the volume control does not work, i can't lower it XD [03:22] JusticeZero, that's only beneficial when you have more than one linux distro installed [03:23] karname: you have a fw? look at the rules [03:23] i dont know why vmware doesnt save the changes i make [03:23] cabrey: ah [03:23] SnowKitty, tried rebooting? [03:23] good call [03:23] JusticeZero, You can reinstall the OS without losing your personal data (home partition) [03:23] Guiri: Thre's tons of stuff under google. See e.g. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2139737,00.asp [03:23] zer0rez, is it out? [03:23] graelin : no , I haven't firewall [03:23] losher: Thanks much [03:23] karname, you usre that server has a web service running? [03:23] i usually use the volume dial on my speakers, i hadnt noticed that the one in ubuntu isnt working XD [03:23] until just now [03:24] matrixblue : yes , for example rapidshare! [03:24] ed_debian, he was just talking about /boot [03:24] i dont think rebooting will fix it [03:24] cabrey: says not mounted :( [03:24] karname: Nothing on the router either? Most routers have some sort of fw, but port 80 shouldn't ever really be an issue [03:24] ooooo [03:24] zer0rez, pesky little bugger eh [03:24] lol, nevermind [03:24] help ubuntu does not recognize my printer [03:24] help ubuntu does not recognize my printer ? [03:24] !patience | heidi [03:24] heidi: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:24] cabrey: yes very much so. [03:24] OK. I was setting up as Extended: 6000 ext3 ( / ), 10000 ext3 ( /usr ), 4000 (linux swap) ; /home; /windows. Anything else you'd recommend changing about that? [03:25] i could always restart but i'd prefer not to [03:25] heidi, we need more details [03:25] JusticeZero: older systems could not boot from a partition that was not at the start of the disk, so people used /boot and placed it first. For newer bioses, it's no longer an issue... [03:25] zer0rez, do you have wine? [03:25] im so sorry volunteers :'( [03:25] i have crossover installed [03:25] graelin : I haven't any limit on network and I have this problem in two server that have separate system , network ,.. [03:25] heidi, That's ok lol [03:25] and beer ;) [03:26] cabrey: i have crossover installed and beer ;) (sorry forgot to preface your name) [03:26] S'kay heidi. What kind of printer and what have you tried doing so far? [03:26] matrixblue ok my ubuntu is 9.04 my printer is an hp what else do u need to know [03:26] Hi I have xubuntu 9.04, and after I used the hibernation mode, the sound doesnt work, I have tried rebooting, tried reinstalling restriced extras. Nothing works [03:26] zer0rez, somebody suggested the odd command wine eject d: lol [03:26] >.< [03:26] this is kind of annoying [03:26] heidi, what's the model of the ho printer? [03:26] What have you tried doing so far? Just plugging it in? [03:26] sudo eject -v [03:26] i cant firgure out how to get it working [03:27] well i have an hp and i tried to put the installation cd but it does not work justicezero [03:27] zer0rez, ^^ [03:27] *figure [03:27] Greetings. I have a question -- I am trying to setup multiple interfaces (tap1, tap2) bridged (br0) to my network card (eth0). I have managed to get tap1 to work properly, but I'm having trouble getting multiple virtual adapters. Can anyone point me in teh right direction? [03:27] anom01y, Check out this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=294275 [03:27] cabrey: i see it [03:27] heidi, that installation CD is most likely meant for Windows [03:27] zer0rez, post output if there is anything good [03:27] hp color laserjet cp1215 [03:27] heidi the installation cd would have windows drivers on it i guess [03:27] yeah, the CD is foe Windows; I usually don't need the CD even -for- a windows system though. [03:28] giffen, What is the benefit of multiple virtual adapters? [03:28] cabrey: eject: CD-ROM eject command failed [03:28] Anybody know where to get a Dell v505w driver for Jaunty? It's driving me crazy that I can't use the wife's new printer with my computer. [03:28] zer0rez, soo descriptive [03:28] cabrey , did you tried ubuntu 9 64bit ? [03:28] would anyone know how to get a Logitech ClearChat Style Headset mic working on jaunty? it worked on intrepid [03:28] yeah thats what i think matrixblue so what do u think i should do [03:28] heidi, I'm looking for the driver for you [03:28] you probably need to make sure you have "cups" or "ghostprint" installed, or something of the sort.. [03:28] timewriter, don't have a 64 system [03:28] i can pastebin it, but that's about it [03:28] thanks matrixblue [03:28] ed_debian: I need to do 2 things (althoght my background knowledge is kinda messy here). 1. I need to have my virtualbox instance running in bridged mode so the vm gets its own ip. 2. I'm using uShare to stream to my 360 and I can't seem to get it to connect through eth0. uShare keeps giving me some business about adapter down [03:29] cabrey: only other intersting bit was: eject: CD-ROM eject command failed [03:29] er [03:29] damn [03:29] cabrey: eject: trying to eject `/dev/sr0' using CD-ROM eject command [03:29] zer0rez, try rebooting then eject the disk while the computer is at bios screen [03:29] Anyone name a good CD ripping software for Ubuntu 9? Ripping to 320kb/s mp3's [03:29] yea was trying to avoid that [03:29] i'm running ubuntu on a macbook, i don't have an external mouse; how can I fake right clicking? [03:29] bbiab [03:29] zer0rez, well by the time we figure this out [03:29] ls [03:29] MrKlean: grip is popular I understad [03:30] coder is it running via bootcamp [03:30] wrong window :D [03:30] Re heidi Openprinting DB says it likes foo2hp [03:30] or vmware [03:30] heidi, the drivers for the printers most likely come with ubuntu [03:30] lowlycoder, try tapping the trackpad with two fingers [03:30] heidi, go into System > Administration >Printing [03:31] heidi: so open up Synatic and type 'foo2hp' in the search and see if that is installed would probably be a good start.. lemme finish reading [03:31] no luck [03:31] yeh that often works on macs 2 fingers tapped on the trackpad [03:31] justicezero? [03:31] lowlycoder, try 3 (not kidding) [03:31] i'm hoping something along the lines of ctrl+click or somethingj [03:31] matrixblue probably knows this better. =) [03:31] heidi, then click new [03:31] not only does it not work with 3, but i'm getting people to look at me too [03:31] lowlycoder, whitebook or alum? [03:31] i've only ever run linux on a mac via vmware so it takes whatever os x is set to [03:31] pardon if this is a bad place to ask, but I'm thinking it's related to the way ubuntu installs apache. My html file has a line "" that isn't being translated into the text in the header.html file and I'm not sure how to debug it? [03:32] ok matrixblue new and then [03:32] cabrey: macbook pro, before the unibody [03:32] heidi, does it have your printer listed there? [03:32] :( [03:32] yes but it said the drivers are missing matrixblue [03:32] code how you tried ctrl and click [03:32] lowlycoder, running 9.04? [03:33] i wish i have a mac [03:33] hey ppl i need to knw how i can access my other profile from this profile cause i deleted tht profile now it says tht it needs a password plz help [03:33] heidi, is it allowing you to click forward? Ubuntu usually downloads the drivers for you [03:33] timewriter, im on a mac mini right now :) [03:33] not that one :) [03:33] iMac or higher [03:33] texyyy, All of a users files are stored in the /home directory [03:33] timewriter, thing thing is pretty amazing [03:33] yes is searching for drivers now matrixblue [03:34] texyyy, Do you know how to get to /home? [03:34] im sure but im used with my quad core system [03:34] i dont know if i will like tha mac mini [03:34] #kubuntu-es [03:34] timewriter, besides, this is an old powerpc [03:34] heidi, that's a good sign. HP printers normally work very well on Ubuntu from my experience [03:34] i got a unibody macbook here btw. best laptop i ever had [03:35] Mukatuna_, i <3 unibody [03:35] matrixblue is printing thanks a lot :) [03:35] at least you can get ubuntu on it [03:35] its not fair [03:35] heidi, anytime :) [03:35] ubuntu is on it via virtualbox [03:35] cheater [03:35] heidi: Yay! [03:35] its not really cheating in my case. because i likes both OSs running at the same time :) [03:36] Is there such a thing as too much ram? [03:36] Dethroned, NEVER [03:36] Dethroned, Never!! [03:36] matrixblue but is not printing in colors [03:36] quick question, how good would virtualbox work in an MSI Wind netbook? [03:36] Good...cause I found a compy with 8 gigs [03:36] hey all, I was wondering if someone can assist me in setting up my new Nvidia graphics card in Ubuntu? [03:36] I'm trying to uninstall firefox, but it's all messed up now. I did "apt-get remove --purge firefox" but it's still here! [03:36] temporarytao, not well tbh [03:36] heidi, not even in test print? [03:36] And when I try to uninstall it from the "Add/remove" feature, it won't let me, complains about branding. [03:36] I'm having a problem, Ubuntu will not boot with the new card .. [03:36] @temp .. it should be ok provided you got enough ram for the OSs [03:37] Is there a command that will list all the packages installed? [03:37] no is not in the test print is pure black and white matrixblue [03:37] cabrey, i knew that...i was hoping to hear an intelligent, dissenting opinion. hehe :D [03:37] wad: "Add/remove..." is the dumbed down lame program. Use Synamptic and it will deal with all the dependencies for you [03:37] temporarytao, I have the Eee and XP runs modestly at best [03:37] temporarytao, I have 2GB [03:37] heidi, check to make sure that the right model printer is listen [03:37] wad: if you apt-get remove firefox it ought to give you a list of related packages that are no longer used [03:37] dj_segfault, oh, crap. That means I've messed up my dependencies. [03:37] cabrey, you actually ran virtualbox in it? [03:38] byerley, it didn't. [03:38] all i have on my acer one netbook is just netbook remix [03:38] temporarytao, rarely [03:38] * wad tries synaptec. [03:38] all it needs [03:38] wad, what exactly has firefox done to offend you? [03:38] cabrey, yeah but it's in there? [03:38] wad: No, you're just trying to uninstall something that is a dependency for another package. Synaptic will take care of it for you. [03:38] im not happy for xp even on a powerful pc [03:38] Beatles: what kind of card? [03:38] yes the right model is listed matrixblue === unix is now known as Schwag [03:39] temporarytao, XP [03:39] matrixblue, it won't let me control the flash player plugin. [03:39] lowlycoder, btw https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [03:39] dj_segfault: what is synaptic going to do differently? [03:39] guys i cannot seam to install flash, i have copied the libflashplayer.so to every possible directory, and i keep trying to detect new plugins in opera, and it never finds them [03:39] !MacTel [03:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about MacTel [03:40] heidi, hmmmmmmmmm check the printer options for something like grayscale [03:40] its the first time i like compiz [03:40] shucks [03:40] I needed to use a different one, which was installed, but firefox couldn't figure it out. [03:40] timewriter, Dont know why you arent satisfied with XP since is the best Windows ever. Stability, faster, etc. [03:40] driving me crazy [03:40] cabrey, i'm severely tempted right no. i'm just worried the atom processor will deep fry itself [03:40] Hx63 , i doubt that [03:40] is the a best version of windows? [03:40] i had version 9 working fine, and now i tried replacing the lib file with the newest one and it doesnt work at all [03:40] but its my opinion [03:40] byerley: "Add/Remove:" is a simplified program that intentionally doesn't work with some packages, and doesn't handle dependencies as well.

[03:51] gee9043, However that command doesn't really make any sense. [03:51] Schwag to get working flash in 8.04 you must first INSTALL all the DAMN freaking updates, after that, restart and then install flash, youll get it working for sure :) [03:51] joshua__, for reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/compiz/+bug/363821 [03:51] Schwag, here I have to select the resolution only by the nvidia-setting [03:51] ugh [03:51] thats for the latest flash [03:51] wad, is the rest of the computer slow?

[03:53] gee9043, The wonderful people at ubuntu have built a repository of software that is always kept up to do and is easily accessible from the ubuntu os. All you have to do is search for it. Do you have a GUI (The method you were attempting is possible I just don't know how to do it and it is silly to do it that way if you don't have to) [03:53] you shouldnt need to restart..... often that is.....Errr....unless your using doze... [03:53] =) [03:53] Hey guys, quick question. Do i need to install Privoxy on ubuntu 9.04 in order to use TOR with firefox? The tutorial on the official ubuntu website tells you to install it but another tutorial I saw skips that step? Thanks [03:53] flash is at version 10 now [03:53] wad you need to use flash 10 [03:53] matrixblue, ah, okay! [03:53] yeah, i just think its stupid that everytime theres a flash update ubuntu users have to wait god knows how long to have working flash [03:53] x.x [03:53] Schwag, that shit!!! [03:53] Do, shall I uninstall the one I've got? [03:54] gone [03:54] wad yeah to be on the safe side [03:54] Well thats only for the 8.04 [03:54] Punkx i know right xD just dont restart alot, apparently theres a bug there too [03:54] schwag, 32 bit linux is fine someday so will 64 bit linux [03:54] losher: Thanks. It looks like it will read /etc/inittab if I put one there. [03:54] Okay, I did "apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree [03:54] schwag it doesnt happen in 9.04 or 8.10... i believe. [03:54] So, I guess I need version 10. [03:54] * wad looks under synaptic. [03:55] the only reason i started this venture was to listen to my song on myspace, sheesh [03:55] cos the Nvidia show thos [03:55] wad: Just go to Adobe's site and download flash player 10... [03:55] this [03:55] The wonderful people at ubuntu have built a repository of software that is always kept up to do and is easily accessible from the ubuntu os. All you have to do is search for it. Do you have a GUI (The method you were attempting is possible I just don't know how to do it and it is silly to do it that way if you don't have to) [03:55] gee9043: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:55] im jsut gonna format and swithc back to win7 [03:55] peace peeps [03:55] Type "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.11-pkg1.run" to install the driver. [03:55] dj_segfault: interesting. I would never have guessed that... [03:55] wad: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(.deb) [03:55] Alex___: use the repos to install flash [03:56] gee9043, Are you saying you want to do it your way? I will help you do that if you'd like. As long as you know there is a better alternative. [03:56] cabrey: Why? [03:56] the repo way is the best way..... ;) [03:56] losher: Yeah, I'm looking at the script and I don't see any other way of controlling it. [03:56] Alex___, automatic updates & keep track of packages installed easier [03:56] cabrey: Ah [03:56] Alex___, heh, I've installed that twice already.... doing it again. [03:57] * Khisanth doesn't even use the deb :) [03:57] im amazed [03:57] timewriter, About what? [03:57] how do i get stuff to run at login? [03:57] wad, use apt-get or aptitude [03:57] dj_segfault: I see it in /etc/event.d/rc-default. It explicitly looks for an /etc/inittab file. Backward compatibility I guess... [03:57] Anyone able to help with a driver issue? I have new drivers for my ethernet card in ubuntu 9.04, problem is since the previous drivers are incorrect i don't know how to locate and uninstall it to install the new one [03:57] than wat is ur suggest? [03:57] ubuntu 9.04 and vmware [03:57] cabrey, I tried. [03:58] wad, search snaptic for that flash 9 and remove it [03:58] There has been like 3 things I've wanted that weren't in the most recent repos so and that kinda got me starting not using it [03:58] zer0rez, You have to know the terminal command. Go to System -> preferences -> sessions (or startup or something) the new ubuntu has a new name for it [03:58] wad, sudo aptitude install adobe-flashplugin [03:58] losher: True, but how else would you tell it to go to 3? The rest of the code just tries to guess which to go to with no way to tell it. [03:58] timewriter, lol [03:58] wad that got installed somehow and is conflicting. Then install flash 10 from the repos and you'll be set [03:58] Hx63 yep [03:59] ubuntu ownz xp with bare hands [03:59] I gotta go now. I've put in my hour for the day :D [03:59] from here to china , and all over the world [03:59] timewriter: lol [03:59] matrixblue, that makes sense. [03:59] gee9043, It is best to search for software in the repos first and then if it isn't there search for a package on the internet. To search the repos go to System -> Admin -> Synaptic Package... [03:59] zer0rez: Look at /etc/profile.d/ [03:59] matrixblue, thanks! [03:59] =)) [03:59] timewriter, damn right [03:59] i have to admit ..

[04:07] (saw the article on this in lifehacker, looked awesome) [04:07] Windows 7 has proven to be much faster === bc_ is now known as bc [04:07] LOL [04:07] rods, Yes! [04:07] rods, Wanna learn how? [04:07] ed_debian sure [04:07] AlexKpow , windows 7 is using the same kernel i guess [04:07] doesn't even need to be on the same LAN :) [04:07] just wait for the RTM [04:07] or you can disable all services in vista and you will have a fast os [04:07] rods, :) awesome. You need to set up an ssh server on one (the one to be controlled). Install the package openssh-server. That might not be the exact name [04:08] i dont know why did you buy new hardware , you obviously dont need it . [04:08] ed-debian -- k [04:08] ed_debian, oh thats old ;) [04:08] cabrey is there a better method? [04:08] cabrey, ?? Is there a better SSH server? [04:08] and i bet my stock cpu will beat your oced Q6600 [04:08] Anyways, can anyone help me with UBUNTU? It hangs after booting from GRUB for like 25-30 seconds at the "Starting up..." screen [04:08] what does the other side of a pop-up window look like? [04:08] The only way that I am able to startxfce4 is with sudo, and then I a logged in as root, why could this be? its a fresh install. [04:09] ed_debian, didnt mean it that way [04:09] just an old method [04:09] AlexKpow , maybe the GTX260 drivers ? [04:09] cabrey, What is another method? I'm curious [04:09] Which drivers should I use then? [04:09] I paired my bluetooth headset, but I don't see a new audio device [04:09] you might need to compile them yourself [04:09] ed_debian, i don't have one, but lh made it sound like a new feature introduced into 9.04 [04:09] what does the other side of a pop-up window look like? [04:09] lh What is cabrey talking about?? [04:09] Let me disable the Nvidia drivers and reboot [04:10] I'll see what that does [04:10] is lh a user here? [04:10] ok [04:10] ed_debian, lifehacker [04:10] cabrey, Can you point me to an article? [04:10] chea [04:10] what up my buntu ppl [04:10] rods said he saw it on lifehacker [04:10] any reason why starxfce4 can only be run with sudo? that logs me in as root which I dont want, and I get error when doing it without sudo [04:11] anyone from denmark ? [04:11] can anyone help? trying to install a driver from a tar.gz (source) i have already tried to install it and it errors out [04:11] rods, Care to comment? [04:11] AlexKpow: there's an option to get a verbose boot. I forget what it is. Remove the 'quiet' keyword from your menu.lst? [04:11] Alright, be right back [04:11] ed_debian, http://lifehacker.com/5275652/shut-down-your-windows-pc-remotely-from-linux [04:11] Okay, I'll do that, too [04:11] mr_frostee, ok I am finding very little about this other than it should work with ubuntu at least it was reported working with ubuntu 7.04 [04:11] cabrey-- that was using linux to shutdown windows machine [04:11] ahhhhh ok [04:11] now I got it [04:11] awesome!!! [04:11] I was curious with ubuntu to ubuntu action ;-) [04:11] rods, Are you talking about 2 linux machines? [04:11] mr_frostee, when you go to system/administration/printing and add printer are there no drivers listed there? [04:11] rods, i didnt follow, don't mind my slowness :) [04:11] timewriter: Okay, brb for real [04:12] ed_debian yes the article made me wonder how to do it with two linux machines [04:12] cabrey no prob man- all good [04:12] rods, Well I don't think there is as clean a solution (that is really cool). I was just going to set up an ssh server so that you can remotely run the shutdown command. Do you wanna learn how to do that? [04:12] can anyone help? trying to install a driver from a tar.gz (source) i have already tried to install it and it errors out [04:13] i need to buy a pci wireless card. any recommendations? I like to not have to use ndiswrapper. [04:13] ed_debian another time--the moment of pranking has passed ;-) [04:13] Arkhalis, what is it [04:13] lmao [04:13] thanks! [04:13] rods, It requires access to the computer to be shutdown ahead of time FYI [04:13] ed_debian, rods, i feel like i killed it oops [04:14] cabrey: i can't copy and paste the error so give me a moment [04:14] Hmm I cant seem to be able to hack myself. I recently wrote a c program that has vulnerable functions in it to buffer overflow but because of app Armour (I think thats it) prevents the exploit and stops execution with the message "smash attack detected" anyone know how to turn this off? [04:14] timewriter: Okay, that didn't work [04:14] ed_debian no problem, I wanted to tease my wife by it. Another day perhaps [04:14] cabrey, You're a terrible person [04:14] Now I just have a gay recolution [04:14] cabrey, ed_debian, thanks yall! [04:14] commenting quiet didn'tgive me an output, either [04:14] np [04:14] is it possible to install a wine application so all user profiles can use it? [04:14] sad , AlexKpow [04:14] also, a little note, tomorrows woot's gonna be great [04:14] what version of ubuntu ? [04:14] * cabrey cries himself to sleep [04:15] 9.04 [04:15] motherboard chipset ? [04:15] mr_frostee, are you still here? [04:15] !tab [04:15] cabrey: when I do make install in terminal it goes through all the steps then it errors in two places remove all old versions of the driver (driver location here) :permission denied [04:15] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:15] then again... permission denied [04:15] Arkhalis , maybe you need to do that as root [04:15] Arkhalis, did you use sudo? [04:15] It's an nVidia i750 [04:15] Arkhalis, also, what is the driver for? [04:16] heh [04:16] i tried sudo and it does something entirely different [04:16] Yeah [04:16] that might be a bit of a problem [04:16] Why? [04:16] is there an equivalent to open suse's svc command for ubuntu? [04:16] maybe ubuntu doesnt love nvidia chipsets [04:16] i dont know man , i had no problem with my pc [04:16] ever [04:16] intel motherboard , intel cpu [04:16] Arkhalis, can install pastebinit [04:16] cabrey: with sudo i get the error cannot write to /var/vache/man/cat7/atlle.7.gz in catman mode [04:16] everything goes fine [04:16] Ok guys im having the following BIG issue. I have a laptop lenovo with graphics Intel mobile 4 series chipset integrated graphics controller. Kde 4.2.3 draw some bad distortion sometimes, very noticeable with kate and amarock, it happens with desktop effects on or off.. Any ideA? help? suggestion? or comment? will be greatly appreciated. Yeah i know this is ubuntu channel, just in case someone here know the issue. Kubuntu channel isnt responsive as this on [04:17] anyone here know what could cause the built in VNC server to not update the client's screen? [04:17] Let me look up how tog et a verbose output [04:17] disable desktop effects [04:17] Arkhalis, sudo apt-get install pastebinit [04:17] no because it's on my laptop and the driver i am trying to fix is the ethernet >< [04:17] that videocard cant handle them [04:17] ahh [04:17] is it possible to make a persistent usb drive using unetbootin? [04:17] Hx63, the intel driver in ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 is bad. [04:17] Arkhalis, do you know what kind of wireless device it is? [04:17] it [04:17] hmm, looks like svc is available in the daemontools package [04:17] red_, not necessarily [04:17] timewriter, the video card can handle vista with all graphics. So that isnt the problem. Vista certified lap [04:18] red_ ok [04:18] i read geforce 4 lol [04:18] that's a LOT of water man [04:18] yeah , its ok [04:18] or how can I make a persistetnt usb live version of ubuntu 9.04? [04:18] cabrey, you are correct. in general it is pretty bad. can lead to tearing and weird glitches. [04:18] I have a built in camera on my notebook. Does anyone recommend a nice GUI to use my camera? [04:18] !usb [04:18] cabrey: it's actually wired ethernet... current driver is attansic corp which is incorrect (done a lot of research) the driver i am trying to install is ar813x arthos or whatever it is called [04:18] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:18] chiques, sudo apt-get install cheese [04:18] Arkhalis, so wireless works? [04:18] red_ any suggestion? maybe a new driver, i have all updates. and all repo enabled. [04:19] red_, I'll check that out, thank! [04:19] cabrey: yes, just no wireless in the house atm [04:19] *thanks! [04:19] * [04:19] Hx63, i havent found anything that solves it. the nest option is to use the 8.04 intel driver as the newer 9.10 is not any better [04:19] Arkhalis, do you mean atheros? [04:19] yeah [04:20] What happens when you open System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [04:20] chiques, cheese ispretty cool injoy it [04:20] red_ understood thank u. [04:20] cabrey: it says no proprietary drivers [04:20] Is python 2.5 included in the Hardy repos? [04:21] Hx63, its not horrible but it does do some weird glitches. dont worry im sure it will be better for 9.10. the 9.10 driver i tested and phronoix tested was super alpha [04:21] Arkhalis, is this an acer aspire one? [04:21] cabrey: this driver was installed as of install... after looking around many people have the problem [04:21] J-: you can search [04:21] I'm trying to compile Sonata 1.6.2 [04:21] whatvn: I have. [04:21] cabrey: no, same issue, same hardware, but it's actually an eeepc 1008HA [04:21] OK, thanks again red_ [04:21] i need to buy a pci wireless card. any recommendations? I like to not have to use ndiswrapper. [04:21] OK found a FIX for this distortion errors with intel graphs: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html red_ take a look. [04:22] Ah, it's default [04:22] Where can i configure vino via terminal? [04:22] Arkhalis, did you see this: http://quefyx.com/2009/05/23/installing-ubuntu-9-04-jaunty-on-asus-eee-pc-1008ha/ [04:23] question: where does the "no paste" plugin of glipper paste the content to? i can't find information on that in the lp pages or on net [04:23] Aha! must have missed that cause i looked everywhere for something like that lol [04:23] oh yeah i saw that [04:23] Hx63, as you can see on my google group http://groups.google.com/group/UbuntuMini/browse_thread/thread/90c952ee9e59b192/1649a431a7b1bf40?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=intel#1649a431a7b1bf40 not very promising [04:23] but that only fixes wifi which i have done already [04:23] red pci? [04:24] Arkhalis, ahh I see [04:24] cabrey: one moment... i am copy pasting into a txt file to transfer to this computer... then i'll pastebin [04:24] Arkhalis, its like a catch 22 [04:25] Where can i configure vino via terminal? [04:25] you need wired to fix the wired [04:25] courpse|dead, sudo aptitude install vino [04:25] i have vino [04:25] sorry [04:25] but need to configure it via terminal. [04:25] im falling asleep [04:25] see if dpkg-reconfigure [04:25] is good enough [04:26] for vino ? [04:26] sudo dpkg-reconfigure vino [04:26] is there a tool on ubuntu that you can use to "unpack" rar documents [04:26] lukilla, unrar [04:26] That doesnt do anything. [04:26] cabrey, I fixed it! [04:27] where can i find it? [04:27] courpse|dead, I think vino is a gui tbh [04:27] lukilla, sudo apt-get install unrar [04:27] TheFunkbomb, i forget, what was wrong lol [04:27] thank you [04:27] there is no conf files? [04:27] I have ssh to my comp at home, but i'm trying to get vnc working, :/ [04:27] cabrey, I'm the dude who had the x64 flash problem [04:28] Hello, I got a wireless USB adapter, I can see it in iwconfig but cannot see any of the wireless networks in the network-manager, any suggestions ? [04:28] ahh [04:28] courpse|dead, try this yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266981 [04:28] umm, anyone know where this file is in newer versions of X11/gdm? /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default [04:28] It's listening on ipv6 tcp, and i need it to listen on ipv4 tcp. [04:28] damnit, nvm [04:29] cabrey, here is what I had to do. There was another folder in /usr/lib/ that was firefox-3.0.10. I threw the x64 plugin in there. [04:29] cabrey, i give up... I seem to have missplaced my flash drive (lost it when i was drunk at the bar actually but whatev) [04:29] i just give up either way [04:29] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704003 $13.99 from new egg, red [04:30] Arkhalis, maybe if you try a eee specific distro [04:30] ok say I downloaded this and I want to use it on my system how do I do this [04:30] http://www.compiz-themes.org/content/show.php/MatrixUbuntu?content=97423 [04:30] fresh_prince, unplug and plug the adapter back in and check post your dmesg output [04:30] yay - people giving up when I walk in the room - good to see such failure [04:30] cabrey: unfortunately I have... two others [04:30] Mow, that is a emerald theme [04:30] all my columns in gtk have rediculously small widths as defaults, and it never saves the last state [04:30] it is? [04:30] as we told you earlier, emerald has been deprecated [04:30] cabrey: this driver fixes the wired ethernet issue as far as #ubuntu-eeepc says and several forums [04:30] It says its a compiz theme though [04:30] look it up [04:31] Arkhalis, maybe ask someone there to make a deb for you? [04:31] i just can't install it >< [04:31] chiques: newbie here, what should i be looking for in the dmesg [04:31] Hmm... [04:31] this has the unpleasant effect of microcolumns in deluge, and a screwed up view in evolution === me is now known as Guest13546 [04:31] voss: is that card actually stable and supported?!?

[04:34] bc, its newegg.com [04:34] I have a mail dir with around 44,000 files in it, totalling 11gb or so. Because of this I can no longer view the mail dir in thunderbird. What can I do? [04:34] Arkhalis, you compile the source from the tar then use checkinstall instead of make install. checkinstall creates a .deb for future use [04:34] fresh_prince, Paste what lshw -C network shows [04:34] A theme For Ubuntu content:-gtk2-gdm-icons-Dynamic Wallpaper-Emerald Theme -Cubemodel Theme [04:35] kindofabuzz: I'll try that, thanks [04:35] Arkhalis, also install fakeroot instead of giving it sudo privledges [04:35] tp-link is an up and coming chinese brand [04:35] voss: looks cheap even for newegg :P [04:35] !checkinstall > Arkhalis [04:35] Arkhalis, please see my private message [04:35] all my columns in gtk have rediculously small widths as defaults, and it never saves the last state [04:35] this has the unpleasant effect of microcolumns in deluge, and a screwed up view in evolution [04:35] glisignoli: tried #thunderbird ? === giocordova is now known as egiovani [04:36] chiques: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187100/ [04:36] Thanks, however since the laptop has no internet... i can't apt-get checkinstall >< [04:37] chiques: yesterday it was working out of the box, computer crashed overnight and now it does not work anymore, i even re-formatted ubuntu === defcon is now known as Guest46992 [04:38] bc their stuff works === Guest46992 is now known as ionstorm [04:38] fresh_prince, do you see available networks when you "left click" on the signal bars on next to the sound and time? [04:39] Does anyone know how i can make vino listen on tcp instead of tcp6 ? [04:39] Can someone just nudge me in the right direction to figure out how to use the sexy new Growl-like notifications in my apps? === cabrey_ is now known as cabrey [04:39] Wish I could, I can't even get any sound out of my system right now [04:39] chiques: actually I just installe wicd instead of network-manager since when i used to left click it just says networkmmanager not running... although i am conneted to the wired network [04:41] fresh_prince, Are you connected to your ethernet connection while you're trying to connect? [04:41] hey all... could use some help with samba if anyone is willing [04:42] chiques: now yes, before that i tried to disconnect my ethernet... but shouldn't I be able to see wireless networks while I am connected ? [04:42] cabrey: you still there? [04:42] yes [04:42] cabrey: see if this makes any sense to you http://paste.ubuntu.com/187103/ [04:43] trying to access a directory that is shared under WinXP - can't seem to mount the shared folder correctly [04:43] fresh_prince, Yes, it should at least see the network while connected. I was just eliminating other factors while troublshooting. [04:43] ive used two of their pcmcia cards and one of their pci cards they work in linux [04:43] RWings19: you will need to assess the NTFS partition as root unless you change fstab [04:43] Is msgfmt installed by default in Hardy? [04:43] it's a fat32 drive [04:44] RWings19: same diff [04:44] Arkhalis, well the sudo made it go further along the install script [04:44] well I tried to set up the share under fstab [04:44] but tbh wtf is catman mode? [04:44] but the UID / GID info was rejected [04:44] Arkhalis: looks ok. The man page didn't install, but the kernel module looks like it did... [04:45] RWings19: do ls -d to /media/winxp [04:45] cabrey: I believe catman is a cache for man pages so you don't keep reformatting them from source to display them [04:45] Arkhalis, see if this exists /var/cache/man/cat7/ [04:45] RWings19: and pastebin [04:45] fccf: i was trying to use this page as a reference: http://www.rizwan-rafique.com/share-folders-between-windows-xpvista7-and-linux-machines#share_windows_folder [04:45] Does anyone know how i can make vino listen on tcp instead of tcp6 ? [04:45] losher, makes sense [04:45] is there a specific irc channel for the ubuntu netbook remix? [04:46] courpse|dead, sorru do not know any thing about vino but did not want you to think i was ignoring you i did find this it seems there is a bug in vino https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/196675 [04:46] losher: so if i do a lshw it should be installed? [04:46] losher: or do i need to do something else? [04:46] mkfort, try #easy-peasy [04:47] RWings19: that's for sharing over network ... samba [04:47] Arkhalis, see if this directory exists: /var/cache/man/cat7/ [04:47] Arkhalis: cabrey: I assume your next step is to modprobe the module then see if the hardware looks present... [04:47] cabrey: huh? [04:47] losher, first i want to get the module installed [04:47] yes that directory exists cabrey [04:47] mkfort, easy peasy is a linux distro for netbooks [04:48] derived from ubuntu [04:48] Arkhalis, what are the permissions on that directory [04:48] Arkhalis: cabrey: ok, didn't mean to butt in. One driver at a time... [04:48] cabrey: well that channel doesn't exist but I'll look into it [04:48] As a noob, how can I get ubuntu 9.04 to play sound out of my S/PDIF port on a Gigabyte GA-MAGM-SH2 Motherboard ? [04:48] maybe it is #easypeasy [04:49] yes it is [04:49] ah ok [04:49] thanks [04:49] my dell 530n with single boot ubuntu (recently upgraded to jaunty) now gives grub error 25 "disk read error" any way to fix or get data with a rescue disk? [04:49] has anyone else had problems with jaunty randomly crashing on laptops? [04:49] cabrey: owner - man access create and delete files -- group - root access files [04:50] cabrey: at the bottom it says you are not the owner so you cannot change these permissions [04:50] ok Arkhalis, do a sudo modprobe atl1e [04:51] cabrey: no response... blank line [04:51] no errors? [04:51] that would be good [04:51] nope [04:51] dmesg === ro_man is now known as cewek [04:51] i'm known as cewek [04:52] that was a lot of text [04:52] whats the bottom chunk say [04:52] !dmesg [04:52] dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [04:53] well it's not plugged in (rj45 is on this comp right now... complicated i know) but it says ar8132 link is not ready basically [04:53] seems installed... now to test [04:53] anyone know if I need to do anything fancy to setup a ssh tunnel over a ppp connection? [04:53] * cabrey commences drum roll [04:53] be back shortly... hopefully from the laptop [04:53] chiques: hey ! i was using a USB extension cable, i just tried plugging it in the back of the pc, and now it works (although the signal is pretty low)... thanks for your help :D [04:53] tunnel won't work for me, but I can scp and use ssh to open a remote terminal... . I'm a little perplexed [04:54] is it a problem if i install amarok on ubuntu ? [04:54] Hi, this is sheila. I just installed ubuntu 9.04, but when I run firefox, it consumes all cpu [04:54] hey guys I just did something I have not done in the past ...install both kubuntu and edubuntu desktops [04:54] but [04:54] does the edubuntu desktop overwrite gnome desktop? I dont see edubuntu in sessions? [04:54] woot, I got Zsnes working on amd64! [04:54] coz_, keep it all on one line [04:54] any tips on troubleshooting grub error 25 disk read error ... can I rescue the disk and or the data? [04:54] dmesg shows nothing about firefox at all. [04:55] coz_, edubuntu uses the gnome desktop [04:55] fresh_prince, Good to hear! [04:55] Ryan_Delaney, nice [04:55] coz_, its a set of extra educational applications [04:55] cabrey, ok cooll what I thought but wasnt sure [04:55] jZed: with a but of luck, you can do both. Start by booting the live cd [04:55] hi. i've installed ubuntu 9.04, installed compiz config, but when I go to appearance preferences, under the Visual tab, I can't select Normal or Extra. It tries to do something then pops up with an error msg "Desktop Effects could not be enabled" [04:55] Where is the mpd configuration file usually stored? [04:55] cabery: SUCCESS! [04:55] tried live cd, it can't see the hard disk [04:55] yay! [04:55] jZed: is it running now? [04:55] thanks a billion lol [04:56] ok DO NOT delete that source folder [04:56] ArkoldThos: http://www.tolaris.com/apt-repository/ :D [04:56] i can get it running on the other computer [04:56] ... srsly? [04:56] i woulda put it in a different location had i known that >< [04:56] each time the kernel is updated, all modules must be recompiled [04:56] Ryan_Delaney, yey, know any nes64 and psone emulator :(? [04:56] ooohhh ok [04:57] ArkoldThos: Havent looked for that yet :) I mainly just wanted to play FF2 and FF3 :) [04:57] jZed: I don't understand. Just how many computers are you running, and which one has the boot problem, which one has the data? [04:57] good to know [04:57] or i can just make a deb file now that i can apt-get checkinstall [04:57] oh =) [04:57] save the deb file [04:57] um I'm on a spare computer now talking to you, the other computer a dell single-boot ubuntu jaunty is broke, I'm starting a live cd on it as we speak [04:58] i got shocked with FFXIV (for being a MMO) i hope much of it :D [04:58] you could try [04:58] jZed: ok, standing by... [04:58] tbh i havent had all that much luck with checkinstall [04:58] thanks much [04:58] sometimes it works, other times not [04:58] i'm hungry [04:58] cabrey: checkinstall was broken for a while, but then fixed. The latest one seems to work ok... [04:58] well now that i know how to do it from src... i should be alright no? [04:59] arkhalis_, you need to list the module [04:59] so that it is loaded at each boot up [04:59] sudo nano /etc/modules [04:59] cabrey: good to know [04:59] and put atl1e on a new line in there [05:00] just atl1e by itself? [05:00] yup [05:01] hello all [05:01] then just exit? [05:01] Are there any self-proclaimed linux gurus in the house that could help me out with some boot hangime? [05:01] I have cookies [05:02] m00, who b0rke xfmedia ? [05:02] AlexKpow: Were you the 20-30 sec pause during boot? Did you manage to get verbose output? [05:03] No, but I've got some info from dmesg that might be useful if I knew what it meant [05:03] arkhalis_, reboot to make sure it works [05:03] >< [05:03] Care to join me in a private chat, losher? [05:03] i'm a-scared [05:03] lol it'll break sometime [05:03] might as well see if its now [05:03] AlexKpow: unlikey, but paste it anyway. I can't go private, I promised to wait for jZed to come back... [05:04] Hi, [05:04] Package installation / upgrade failed when trying to upgrade "udev 124-9ubuntu0.2" .

A bios bug, no idea why tcpdump might be involved. Do you even have a parallel port [05:06] No, I don't have one [05:06] Lol [05:07] jZed: ok, open a terminal and type 'dmesg | egrep sd' and we'll see what hard drives the kernel has detected. Do you know about pastebin? [05:07] All is well~ [05:07] losher: do you know how to disable it checking for a parallel port? [05:07] been a while since I used pastebin [05:08] AlexKpow: start googling my friend :-) [05:08] K [05:08] hey guys i'm trying to run a rails app in dev mode using passenger with apache... when i try to access the app i get an error saying unable to check htaccess file? [05:08] jZed: nothing to it. Just open a browser window and go to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ [05:09] so I know beryl isnt existant anymore but if I wanted to run a beryl matrix theme is it possable [05:09] RORgasm, try #rubyonrails or #ruby [05:09] Ugh. Just "completely uninstalled" apache2, and it left *all* the files there. [05:09] RORgasm, see #ubuntu-server [05:09] dj_segfault, in where? [05:09] unop, cabrey sorry...lol...i thought i was in the rails irc [05:10] well I can paste the results of dmesg | egrep sd right here between the quotes: " " :-( [05:10] jZed: redo it, using hd instead of sd [05:10] Jaunty AMD64. Uninstalled apache2, apache2-common, etc. and /etc/apache2 and all its files stayed there, as well as /var/log/apache2 and /var/www. I don't think it deleted a single file. [05:10] same [05:11] dj_segfault, use dpkg with the purge option [05:11] i messed up my gtk installation ='( any remedies? [05:11] dj_segfault: it would have removed the binaries and libraries not needed by other programs [05:11] Lamerion: how is it messed up? [05:11] jZed: what kind of hard drive is supposed to be in there? [05:11] RHorse: Better than Synaptic for this? [05:11] dell sata 750gb [05:12] OK, next time I'll know. Thanks. [05:12] worked ok up until today (some DRDY errors) [05:12] jZed: well there's no sign of it in the kernel. Did you touch any of the cabling? [05:12] dj_segfault, I don't use Synaptic, but apt-get and dpkg have a purge option. I think Synaptics is a front end for one or the other [05:12] Yup. [05:12] nope, haven't opened the box ever [05:13] lstarnes: i tried to install libgnomeui-common on ubuntu 6.06... somehow it got broken [05:13] the drive shows up in Dell f2 setup menu [05:13] can chat with webcam on ubuntu? [05:13] Lamerion: you're still using ubuntu 6.06? [05:13] yeah =( [05:13] Hi guys, My package installation / upgrade failed when trying to upgrade "udev 124-9ubuntu0.2" . When reporting the problem, ubuntu collected information about the system and created report which says: "package libgs8 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6.4 failed to install/upgrade: package libgs8 is already installed and configured" Any ideas? Running Ubuntu 8.10 on Dell XPS 1530 [05:13] but gives errors about 9% through Dell's hardware check [05:13] Lamerion: were you using the version of libgnomeui-common for 6.06/dapper? [05:14] jZed: ok, well if i had to guess, I'd say your hard drive has just failed. Wanna paste all the dmesg into pastebin for completeness? [05:14] My Java won't work in firefox on Ubuntu 9.08. It will say Applet Started, security Warnings, and such, I'll accept but it still won't work..help? [05:14] was using... i downloaded a deb package from somewhere... i forgot which site.. too much tabs opened.. [05:14] lstarnes: then i started to install the deb packages one by one [05:14] ok, thanks, that's what I feared, Dell is sending a new one but I hoped I might get my data [05:15] it's only 3 months old [05:15] how i wish there was a system restore now [05:15] 'system restore" = backup [05:15] Hi guys, My package installation / upgrade failed when trying to upgrade "udev 124-9ubuntu0.2" . When reporting the problem, ubuntu collected information about the system and created report which says: "package libgs8 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6.4 failed to install/upgrade: package libgs8 is already installed and configured" Any ideas? Running Ubuntu 8.10 on Dell XPS 1530 [05:15] can anyone recommend a good video format converter with a nice GUI frontend? [05:16] jZed: it's not unheard of for a disk to fail at 3 months, though it is bad luck. Paste your dmesg... [05:16] I really need some help guys. I just created my partitions and the installation of packages failed so I'm at a cli. I installed irssi so I could use irc. [05:16] !patience | michal_ [05:16] michal_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:16] WIGGMPk, there are web sites that will do this, you know. [05:16] RHorse: yes, I am aware of it, but its incredibly large video files [05:17] is there any matrix themes out that actualy work?.. [05:17] Mow: Yes as long as you use the exact distro and version they were designed for [05:17] Is there a way I can search for packages on the cli? [05:17] Zorix, aptitude search foo [05:18] wigglez, I think VLC *might* do this. Can anyone confirm? [05:18] zortec, ^ [05:18] I cant find any of the distros that are available [05:18] My Java won't work in firefox on Ubuntu 9.08. It will say Applet Started, security Warnings, and such, I'll accept but it still won't work..help? [05:18] I found it for emerald and beryl thats it.. [05:18] Nicolas__: do you mean 9.04? [05:18] and beryl isnt distributed anymore [05:18] yes 9.04 [05:18] WIGGMPk: linux doesn't have the best guis. Looked at http://www.videohelp.com/convert ? [05:19] jZed: still there, or given up? [05:19] Java is fucked on the nightly [05:19] Hey guys I just installed tor in ubuntu 9.04 and installed Tor button in firefox and enabled it.. I can still browse the web, but its as if i wasnt using tor. My ip is not concealed.. and i fail the torcheck.xenobite.eu test... what can i do? thanks [05:19] What is the command to see my partitions? I would love any help that you can give. [05:19] WIGGMPk, losher, ffmpeg -i input.avi output.flv [05:19] ralmar: do you have tor installed and running? [05:19] tor button does it work in linux ? [05:19] lstarnes, yes both tor and privoxy services are running [05:19] ralmar, ensure you have privoxy comfigured [05:19] Does the site say it works [05:20] rakista, it works, yes [05:20] khermans: not exactly the gui of ones dreams... [05:20] losher khermans Im gonna give Handbrake a go, I specifically want to avoid command line solutions unless I need to [05:20] rakista: it is? Is there anyway I can make the Java(I think it is) work? [05:20] and when I enable the tor button i can continue browsing online [05:20] weird question, is it possible to burn ubuntu to a dvd and have it boot and install I have no CDs atm x.x ? [05:20] losher, there are GUi frontends for ffmpeg [05:20] NishaKitty, yes [05:21] k ty khermans ^^ [05:21] Nicolas: I just went back to 9.04 till they fix it [05:21] WIGGMPk: I don't think its a good trade off sacrificing the best conversion just because it doesn't have a gui... [05:21] losher: pasted my dmesg, it seets SATA1 I guess [05:21] khermans: I didn't know... [05:21] jZed: what's the url? [05:21] khermans, yes i believe its configured. [05:22] losher: I dont need the best conversion.. I just need to convert them, easily [05:22] losher, http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffmpegGUI [05:22] rakista: Uh okay, I thought 9.04 was the most recent version [05:23] most recent is 9.04 [05:23] 9.10 alpha i think [05:23] for stable and 9.10 for nightly [05:23] khermans: windows only, isn't it? [05:23] oh...I'm on 9.04 and it still isn't working right [05:23] losher: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d3527ba39 [05:23] losher, there is something called ffmpegx i think for linux [05:23] hi, I deleted a shared folder... and samba is completly dead... How could I get it back on its feet? [05:23] how can i run an .exe file? [05:23] lukilla, wine [05:23] !wine | lukilla [05:23] lukilla: 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 [05:24] erm no, reports an disk error for ata1 [05:24] !virtualizers [05:24] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:25] uh so, how do I fix the java problem on 9.04? [05:25] losher khermans any suggestions on DVD menu makers? [05:25] hey, does anyone know if it's possible to disable firefox's overwhelming desire to enmesh itself with your GTK+ themes? Dark themes make it look horrible, and usually make Facebook chat, for one thing, unusable [05:25] Surlent777: use ff themes instead [05:25] losher, yes -- check out dvdee [05:26] WIGGMPk: Personally, I found all the linux ones suck. I use nero under XP.... [05:26] help [05:26] Jeruvy: The default theme isn't usable or uninstallable, seemingly [05:26] khermans: dont you mean devede [05:26] wigglez, devede [05:26] losher: thats the only one I can think of myself.. however I no longer recognize Windows (any version) as a viable operating system for my laptop [05:26] ya [05:27] español [05:27] jZed: Sorry, bad news; this line "ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x1)" if fatal I believe. [05:27] Surlent777: I have no idea what that means...any theme I use seems to work fine in Gnome. [05:27] novato123: #ubuntu-es [05:27] nero has a linux version [05:27] hi guys [05:27] when trying to install a tar.gz file i *always* get stuck on the './configure' step... i feel like im missing something obvious... do i need to write something before the ./configure? [05:27] WIGGMPk: I run XP under vmware on ubuntu for these occasions. Heretical, I know... [05:27] i want to ask [05:27] gracias [05:27] !ask > code47 [05:27] how to install wifi card driver in xubuntu [05:27] code47, please see my private message [05:28] losher ; so can't get the data? [05:28] anybody have a recommendation for a FPS game native for linux ? [05:28] revilodraw: maybe sudo...but that seems too obvious :) [05:28] !es [05:28] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:28] L3dPlatedLinux: the linux version of nero is stripped down, nothing like the windows version [05:28] revilodraw: check the output of ./configure [05:28] losher: you dont find VMWare to resource consuming? have you tried virtualbox? [05:28] Jeruvy: I mean, if you go to Add-ons, there's a tango theme listed. I can't seem to choose it or uninstall it. Firefox 3 by default tries (too hard) to blend in with your GTK+ theme [05:28] xcerca, um.... nexuiz... [05:28] Java will not work in Firefox on Ubuntu 9.04, help? [05:28] xcerca: sauerbraten rocks [05:28] wigglez, tovid or devede or mandvd [05:28] thanks [05:28] lstarnes: laptop:~/SleekDragon$ sudo ./configure [05:28] sudo: ./configure: command not found [05:28] xcerca, UrbanTerror [05:29] Surlent777: ah yes I've only used 2 or 3 with ubuntu, but you don't have to use gtk themes, ff will override. [05:29] revilodraw: do not sudo it [05:29] xcerca, http://OpenGamingNow.org [05:29] revilodraw, never use sudo for configure scripts [05:29] revilodraw: the only step that will actually need sudo is usually make install [05:29] how to install prolink wg-1000 driver in xubuntu.... im noob in linux... thanks [05:29] xcerca, http://www.opengamingnow.com/ [05:29] Jeruvy: I think that's what I'm trying to do; I want it to stop using GTK+ so I can get a nice dark theme going [05:29] !ask [05:29] 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. :-) [05:29] thanks , i'll check them out [05:30] cabrey and lstarnes; ok thank you... but do you need to write something before the ./configure? [05:30] no [05:30] revilodraw: no [05:30] cabrey, lstarnes: that I agree with, but some dumb scripts seem to need it (I won't get into specifics unless called for) [05:30] jZed: at this point, you have nothing to lose by moving the disk to a different sata port and then a different machine (if you have one). It's just possible the disk is actually ok and its your motherboard or SATA controller that's broken. But Murphy's law says it's the disk. The other thing you might try is downloading the manufacturers diagnostic disk and see if that gives you any joy... [05:30] code47, apt-get install ndiswrapper [05:30] i need a better HDD for the system .. [05:30] revilodraw: if it isn't marked executable, you may need to use sh ./configure. in most cases that is not needed [05:30] Jeruvy, all configure scripts made with autoconf do not need sudo [05:30] revilodraw, if you dont know what ./configure is doing you need to do some more research and understand the implications of compiling from source -- ie. you will not get security updates [05:30] code47 then use the windows drivers [05:31] lstarnes and cabrey; i *always* get this bash:" ./configure: No such file or directory" [05:31] thanks losher ... could I put the new Dell hd in as master and this one as slave to see if I can get it? [05:31] WIGGMPk: I have a quad core. Resource consumption is no longer an issue. VMware runs like a bat out of hell. [05:31] revilodraw, what are you trying to compile? [05:31] revilodraw: check ls [05:31] losher, thats an interesting analogy lol [05:31] khermans, lstarnes and cabrey; thank you. im trying to install a new theme to my gnome desktop [05:31] cabrey: aye, I'm aware, there are some daft contradictions to that. [05:31] losher, virtualbox takes advantage of CPU features too [05:31] losher, must be nice :P [05:31] I'm using Firefox 3 with Ubuntu 9.04 and online vNES will not load! I'm suspecting its a Java problem, how do I fix it? [05:31] revilodraw: the directory that you're in might lack a configure script [05:32] jZed: that's exactly what I'd do. If you can mount it, you can get the data off... [05:32] losher: cool, still have the faithful dual core.. I have grown tired of desktops though [05:32] Nicolas__, have you installed java? [05:32] revilodraw: but it might have something else used for building it [05:32] Nicolas__, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin [05:32] cabrey: I don't think so, how to? [05:32] revilodraw: I thought that with most GNOME Themes you just need to drag and drop them into the Theme Chooser window? [05:32] lstarnes: it doesnt have any files in it that look like a configure script [05:32] the quad core was on sale at Fry's. The last good sale, it seems like... [05:32] nuts, kripes, gop, fooey, cancel my rhumba lesson ... but thanks losher, you helped me confirm what I feared [05:32] what khermans said [05:32] khermans: okay hold on [05:32] Surlent777: ok sounds awesome, drag the .tar.gz file? [05:32] is there a way to defragmebt NTFS hdds on ubuntu ? === trinity is now known as ok [05:32] revilodraw: Yes, try that [05:32] Surlent777: shouldn't be too hard. [05:32] timewriter, ntfsprogs [05:33] revilodraw, drag and drop [05:33] !ntfs [05:33] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [05:33] you need NTFS-3g also [05:33] jZed: you were just unlucky, though if I'd seen DRDY errors, I'd have started a backuo right then and there. With modern drives, the first error you see is cause for worry.... [05:34] ghh [05:34] yeah, my own fault for not taking the DRDY seriously [05:34] gtth [05:34] thank you khermans [05:34] cabrey, Surlent777, lstarnes; doesnt seem to work, when i drag the tar file it says 'not a valid theme' [05:34] WIGGMPk: vmware has a switch to use up to two cpus. I hear good things about virtualbox though, not least of which is the price... [05:34] timewriter, np [05:35] revilodraw: what is the name of the theme, and where'd you get it? [05:35] revilodraw, open up the tarball and make sure there isnt another tarball inside [05:35] sometimes people do that for some reason === bk is now known as bk|away [05:36] Surlent777: it's named sleekdragon and i got it here http://www.gnome-look.org/ [05:36] !theme [05:36] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [05:36] <``y7> how can i tell a program to use eth1 instead of eth0?

There's a wikipedia page for everything nowadays, isn't there... [05:37] Surlent777: yes [05:37] revilodraw: Therein lies your problem. [05:37] meatloaf is awesome [05:37] losher: haha i stand corrected [05:37] revilodraw: That is for the login screen. You need to go to the Login Screen thing under Administration and drag and drop it there [05:37] ``y7: usually by config, or by default interface...can you be more specific?

(Not that I am gonna use it to make one, just saying...) [05:46] hubar: I use cheese for basic stuff ... [05:46] Has the sound server aRTs been replaced by another sound server? [05:46] Hey guys, I have a problem. I have been trying everything I can think of. Then again I am not super good with computers either so many someone has a simple quick fix for my problem. [05:46] khermans: that never lasts. Most devs don't care for support work, particularly when there are lots of newbies. You get sick of answering the same questions over & over. It starts to seem like a form of punishment... [05:46] bullgard4, pulseaudio is the sound server for ubuntu [05:46] !pulseaudio [05:46] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [05:46] Jeruvy, why is there so few choices when it comes to video? [05:46] So I installed Starcraft, when it starts and loads my monitor refreshes and says "Input Signal Out of Range" and has this annoying box that says that on my screen and it doesn't go away making it impossible to play.. It says "Recommended Setting: 1024x780 60hz" I have my computer at that but Starcraft you cant change the settings of the video resolution/display and when I set my screen resolution to something lower and tr [05:47] _nick [05:47] cabrey: You did not answer my question. === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [05:47] hi, I recently loaded ubuntu studio. On trying to install open office, my destop locks up and I can't find any way to recover other than a power cycle. Any ideas? [05:47] losher, indeed -- i was actually a speaker at the ubuntu conference in 2007 -- got to meet mdz in person and lots of other cool people [05:47] bullgard4, is aRTs a sound server? [05:47] ban nickserv nimish [05:47] bullgard4: the phonon API replaced aRts in KDE 4 [05:47] bullgard4, it is still used in kde [05:47] ahh it is a kde thing [05:48] khermans: you're a developer groupie. That's so cute... [05:48] lolz [05:48] Jeruvy, I mean so few choices(for softwares) for video functions. [05:48] lstarnes, chuck_ : Thank you for your information. [05:48] where does ubuntu 9.04 store update files?? i have downloaded updates on one laptop and want to transfer them to another, fresh installation. [05:49] /var/cache [05:49] steveowilson, /var/cache/apt [05:49] cheers [05:49] steveowilson, you should also investigate apt-proxy [05:49] does anyone know much about glmatrix [05:50] hubar: your bordering on being OT...you have a question/problem? I'm not here to talk about choices...Google is great for choices :) [05:50] Does anyone know why Starcraft/My Monitor is doing that and how to fix it? [05:50] anyone know anything about glmatrix?.. [05:51] Is this a good forum for questions about the desktop freezing up???? [05:51] PuzzledPenguin, how are you running it? [05:51] joekluse: this channel is for any questions about ubuntu [05:51] I am running it with Wine. [05:51] I'm using ubuntu. [05:51] PuzzledPenguin, graphics card? [05:51] I just installed it about a week ago. [05:51] <``y7> ok, i have ubuntu setup with 2 nics. eth0 = external IP to my ISP, eth1 = 192.168.1.1 and that's my default gateway. i'm currently online on my windows machine through my firewall (the ubuntu machine) yet i cannot ping 192.168.1.1. ideas? [05:51] joe it could be alot of things.. [05:51] joekluse: check ubuntuforums.org and the bugs on launchpad.net for prior issues [05:51] cabrey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_server: "List of sound servers: aRts, ..." [05:52] nvidia [05:52] thanks, [05:52] y did you try acticating it in your hardware [05:53] PuzzledPenguin: does your monitor support 640x480? that's what starcraft is running at. [05:53] PuzzledPenguin, you're saying the game doesn't stay within range of your monitor specs? [05:53] Orest, starcraft runs at 640x480? [05:53] must be old... [05:53] i'm pretty sure yes [05:53] well it is very old :) [05:53] <``y7> i have ubuntu setup with 2 nics. eth0 = external IP to my ISP, eth1 = 192.168.1.1 and that's my default gateway. i'm currently online on my windows machine through my firewall (the ubuntu machine) yet i cannot ping 192.168.1.1. ideas? [05:53] Are the Ubuntu forums down? [05:54] I installed SunJava to play games on http://www.nintendo8.com/ and they won't load, I've restarted firefox after installing and it still won't work. What am I missing? [05:54] bullgard4, good to know [05:54] ghindo: they appear to be working [05:54] I can change the resolution to 640x480, but my monitor will say Input Singal out of range; Recommended Settings blah blah [05:54] ghindo: I'm seeing pages... [05:54] downforeveryoneorjustme.com [05:54] It even does that when I try to play Counter Strike at 640x480. [05:55] I think you're monitor might not support it then. [05:55] does your monitor support 640x480? [05:55] Nicolas__, try running firefox 3 initially from the command line. If any errors occur it will echo to the terminal and might give you a clue about what's happening [05:55] ``y7: what does ifconfig -a show? [05:55] Nicolas__: java? [05:55] You can still play starcraft in a window if you use a virtual desktop in wine. [05:55] anyone here use ipcop? [05:55] <``y7> losher, what part of it are you asking about? [05:55] <``y7> eth1 shows 192.168.1.1 [05:55] darlek: how? [05:55] jeruvy: I think so.. [05:55] I can change the resolution to that, but it looks like crap and has that annoying box still. [05:55] ``y7: why not pastebin the output so we can all see? [05:55] U-b-u-n-t-u: thats a pretty outdated tool... [05:55] Sorry, I am not very good with computers. [05:55] Nicolas__, open a terminal, type firefox & [05:56] does anyone know anything about running glmatrix in the backround [05:56] Jeruvy? they just updated it may 20th [05:56] !pastebinit [05:56] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [05:56] Mow: typically look for 'daemon mode' to run in the background. [05:56] <``y7> losher: http://pastebin.com/d44ca08d2 [05:57] * dsdeiz stupid fish! run away! lol [05:57] Jeruvy is a firewall I was just wondering if its better than firestarter [05:57] PuzzledPenguin: do you mean you can run it at a higher resolution but with a large area of the screen simply black? [05:57] oh yay it works now! Thank you guys :D [05:57] whats that mean? [05:57] how do i add the volume controls for my keyboard in fluxbox....i can get them to work in gnome just not ubuntu [05:57] Nicolas__: cheers :) [05:57] sere, ask in #fluxbox [05:58] ``y7: what is the ip address of your windows machine and how is it connected to ur eth1? direct wire? switch ? hub?

[06:00] PuzzledPenguin, sounds like the video card can't handle 1024 in game mode .. you might try reducing colours [06:00] ``y7: doesn't windows block icmp? [06:00] hi.. [06:00] <``y7> fornix, i don't believe so. it's the d-link DGS-2208 switch and i've had this working before... i just have to drop eth0, lo to connect eth1, then i can bring eth0 and lo back up [06:00] Does installing an RT kernel make any performace regarding the usage of blender? [06:00] How do I reduce colors? [06:00] i m trying to configure rubycas-server in ubuntu.. it says you donot have permissions to create the config fgile try using sudo.. when i try with sudo it says command not found... whatss wrong? [06:00] <``y7> losher, i have no idea, like i said, it's worked before if i drop eth0 and lo and then bring them back after they connet [06:00] FunkyDude: using ./configure? [06:01] hi all. [06:01] I think I am returning to Gnome after a decade of using KDE :( The functionality-downgrade from kde 3.6 to 4.x has been exceptionally difficult to deal with, and it seems like neither ubuntu nor debian kde package maintainers have any desire to keep 3.x usable [06:01] means?? [06:01] mohan_: I wouldn't think so ... as blender doesn't render on the fly ... I'd stick with the regular kernel [06:01] fccf-virt: atleast for GLSL graphics? [06:02] anyone have any luck connect to android adb devices [06:02] PuzzledPenguin, it's a wine game right? so it'll be a setting in WINE. you might also try changing the emulation mode to windows 2000 instead of XP or Vista [06:02] darlek: How do I reduce colors? [06:02] Okay [06:02] does anyone know exactly how to run glmatrix in backround do I need xwinwrap? [06:02] PuzzledPenguin: in any case you should check the winehq site for starcraft: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=149 [06:02] ``y7: sorry, out of ideas.... [06:02] <``y7> :\ [06:02] I'm trying to debug some hal quirks with my machine, and I need to list the hal property 'system.hardware.product' to get the laptop model number. Anyone know how to do that? [06:02] <``y7> losher, could my firewall be blocking it by any chance? [06:03] mohan_: depending on your machine ... if you are running 8cores and 16gigs of ram, sure you may notice a slight diff ... but otherwise no [06:03] I've been futzing around with `hal*` commands, but I can't get a reply out of them. [06:03] Okay, thanks for the help. I will try the stuff you guys suggested. [06:03] PuzzledPenguin, I'm sorry I don't use WINE myself but I'm aware of what's being handled. I'd suggest looking at the wine website as it would likely have links or comments on getting it to run [06:03] fccf-virt: oh.. ok.. [06:03] ``y7: if i were you, i'd use nmap [06:03] ``y7: could be. What are you using, iptables? [06:03] instead of ping [06:04] <``y7> losher: firestarter. i just figured it was weird that i can connect to the internet through the machine, but not ping the machine, or vise versa [06:04] <``y7> fornix, nmap 192.168.1.1? === Kernel is now known as Wicked [06:05] ``y7: all that means is that something is deliberately dropping icmp packets. Are you running firewall software on the windows box? Can you plug a unix box in & try it? [06:05] <``y7> losher, there is no firewall software running on the windows machine. there is firewall software running on the ubuntu machine [06:06] <``y7> losher, also, i can ping another windows machine behind the switch. i just can't ping the ubuntu machine and the ubuntu machine can't ping any of the windows machines. [06:06] Any idea of why synaptic keeps asking for proxy authentification when I have it set up for direct connection, also have it direct in the Ubuntu Proxy Settings??

But if I reboot it goes back to single screen instead of twinview like I had it. [06:07] <[T]ank> any ideas? [06:07] <[T]ank> didnt always do this. Just started.

[06:36] good evening, I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue [06:36] four2zero: yes an alpha version of flash is available since feb [06:37] time to install ubuntu 64 [06:37] indus: could it be some state that's stuck from when it was enabled? maybe some configfile we could clear.. [06:37] anr78: you check System -> Preferences -> Startup Application? [06:37] indus, where do i find it? [06:37] I upgraded to 9.04 about 3 weeks ago from 8.10. before upgrading Linux would mount my LG VU as a mass media storage device no problem. afterward it wont see it [06:37] djdavis75: yes, thats not checked [06:37] anr78: its a bug iam sure [06:38] oh i know it is [06:38] wish they would fix it already. any ideas on a work around? [06:38] KD8FYT: i wasnt referring to ur issue [06:38] KD8FYT, CU 920 or 915? [06:38] well, how do I tell? [06:38] does it have a pull out antenna? [06:38] yup [06:38] Cu920 [06:39] <``y7> does ubuntu have a recyle bin of some sort? [06:39] romp, good, looks like removing and adding fixed it then? [06:39] KD8FYT: have u tried adding usb_storage to /etc/modules [06:39] yep, no luck [06:39] Can anyone help me out? I'm at a cli with no desktop. I tried to install packages from the CD but got an error that the installation of packages failed. The only thing I have installed is irssi which I used apt-get [06:39] ``y7: gnome has a trash can, KDE probably has something similar [06:39] KD8FYT, is it showing up at all as connected hardware? [06:39] under lsusb i can see it [06:39] <``y7> djdavis75, where can i find the trash can? [06:39] like, clearly it's not mounting, but does the OS know something is there [06:39] thats it [06:39] darlek: I need to know if there is a way to search for packages [06:39] tried mounting it by hand? [06:40] Sorry, that is not to darlek, but to everyone [06:40] im not sure of the mount point.... sda?? [06:40] ``y7, top right side. If it isn't there you can add it by right clicking on the taskbar [06:40] perhaps sda2? [06:40] ...maybe? [06:40] <``y7> darlek, djdavis75 thx [06:40] zortec, sure... apt-cache search packagename [06:40] you know what, i've got a VU too [06:40] im going to try mounting it [06:40] hello all [06:40] ``y7: in the bottom right corner of the desktop [06:40] zortec can even search for partial names [06:40] I also want to know how to see my partitions... I'm still getting use to cli [06:40] didn't know flash and 64bit ubuntu was an issue... maybe that is my problem with tokbox lmao... [06:40] hello [06:41] It's a bit different not having a gui I'll admit [06:41] i cant get it to mount manually either [06:41] KD8FYT, im gonna fire up my dell, then connect my phone [06:41] zortec: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [06:41] how can i find out which mount point it would use? [06:41] see if the problem is your system or the OS itself [06:41] ok great, thanks [06:41] I got the base system installed on the cd, but it failed to install any packages so I only have a cli [06:41] <``y7> where is a good place to store random files at? [06:41] zortec, sudo fdisk -l [06:41] zortec: that installs a desktop [06:41] zortec: so were you in the middle of an installation that failed, or what? [06:41] KD8FYT: try mount -a [06:41] jest ktoś z Polski ?? [06:41] !pl [06:41] Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [06:41] ``y7: somewhere in ~/ unless you want to backup files from all over the place [06:41] I wanted to install multiple desktops just to try them out. I've set up my partitions such as 100GB for /, and 1GB for swap [06:42] i have a really weird sound problem, it comes out mono only from the left and very distorted [06:42] <``y7> awesome, thx guys [06:42] Guys I am running into an issue when i plug my headset in to my laptop it does auto mute my laptop speaks I have looked all over and tried several differnt thing ranging from upgrade alsa to adding option's to the alsa base config but I am still trikin out anyone have any ideas? [06:42] KD8FYT, what's teh deal with your name anyway? [06:42] ? [06:42] im a ham radio operator [06:42] metaaa: That's not really on topic. But, it's a HAM callsign [06:42] ``y7: yeah, u should store your user file in you home directory [06:42] AH! that makes sense [06:42] the FCC decided it would be a good name [06:42] radio [06:42] make some folder is there [06:42] so lets say there's a kernel bug affecting 2.6.28, which is what shipped with jaunty, but the fix is in 2.6.29. i'm trying to install ubuntu on a box that's affected by the bug, which halts the boot process. should I install 8.10, compile my own kernel up to 2.6.29, and then do a dist upgrade, or is there an easier way to install 9.04? [06:43] zortec: so which desktop do you want next? [06:43] KD8FYT: ahh fellow ham operator [06:43] heh, good morning sir [06:43] losher: I was going to install xfce so xbuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, and kde-desktop but since it wouldn't install off the cd [06:43] <``y7> <3 ubuntu ;) [06:43] I had the option to skip that and install the boot loader which is what I did [06:43] indus, how should I use it [06:44] the -a that is [06:44] why is Synaptic still asking for proxy? [06:44] zortec: you should be able to install any of those over the internet instead, if you want [06:44] such as sudo mount -a /mnt/drive ? [06:44] I've created a 100GB partition, so hopefully that will give me plenty of room [06:44] in terminal type sudo mount -a [06:44] can anybody please toss me some advice? [06:44] !test [06:44] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [06:44] i have a really weird sound problem, it comes out mono only from the left and very distorted [06:44] I just discovered mouse gestures... I am completley amazed.. take easy stroke + dasher + wii mote+ projector and you get something very special [06:44] How do I specify the exact type of monitor on Ubuntu 8.04 with a NVidia card? [06:45] 9.04 is really just a bunch of packages. you can run whatever kernel you want and since it's above then that would work fine. I don't see why you'd need to downgrade. I ran a two year old kernel with Ibex just to keep my Internet working before Jaunty. Use grub to point the kernel you want to use or run update grub [06:45] losher: Should I use aptitude or apt-get search cache? Are there any differences in the two? Sorry I don't know the cli that well [06:45] KD8FYT, doesn't work for me either, somebody needs to make a bug report on this [06:45] zortec: 100G is plenty. Most ubuntus fit in 5 or 6G [06:45] what is the command to list kernel version? [06:45] Hi, freakish behavior while installing a dual boot; the LiveCD thinks the hard drive is empty, but Windows is already installed and the disk was partitioned earlier/. [06:46] saprophyte_, uname -a would show it I think [06:46] no shit metaaa [06:46] zortec, apt-cache search is generally taught [06:46] saprophyte_: uname -a will show current one [06:46] hi! can anyone recommend me a really good game? no matter oldyes, just they have to be very entertaining [06:46] darlek: I can't boot the install cd, if you were talking to me. the kernel included on the 9.04 cd is 2.6.28 which wont boot with the highpoint 366 pata controller. [06:46] uname -r [06:46] zortec, but both provide the same function [06:46] ive read about 10 different bug issues on the nets [06:46] thank you [06:46] losher: I know it's probably overkill but I had 215GB to work with so I just created 100GB partition [06:46] KD8FYT, do you have any other AT&T LG phones? [06:46] nope [06:46] What should I do to troubleshoot this? [06:46] hmm [06:46] zortec: I don't think it matters. You can use either or go back & forth. People say aptitude is better. I use apt-get/apt-search myself [06:47] know anybody with a shine? [06:47] hi, is anyone having problems with ubuntu x64?? i was with the i386 version and decided to try so i could use 4GB ram. but it just takes too long to boot and it keeps freezing. mostly when comming back from screensaver [06:47] CU720 [06:47] felix_: word of padman and neverputt :D [06:47] zortec, i once got a full linux install (not ubuntu) in to 120mb [06:47] world of padman even [06:47] im using x64 [06:47] love it so far [06:47] zortec: to install xfce you should be able to just type apt-get install xfce & then stand well back... [06:47] froes, what kind of hardware are you on? [06:47] about to upgrade kernel though from 2.6.28-11-generic [06:47] Titan8990 I wanted to leave a lot of room to play around with [06:47] losher, xubuntu-desktop is likely the package he wants [06:47] i'm on a toshiba laptop [06:47] saprophyte_ how much ram do you have [06:48] this is a rather frustrating issue i must say [06:48] froes me too [06:48] sammy, okay in this case then you'd use a lesser version 8.10, then update. Even when it's done the new kernel will suck, but the grub loader can use the older kernel with the newer software. Also you can download the higher kernel version and tell grub to use that too [06:48] lol i dont remember how much this laptop has [06:48] froes, could be your power save settings in bios [06:48] zortec, linux and its applications don't take hardly any room, only things that will is media such as games, movies, and songs [06:48] Titan8990: The last partitions I created were 20GB for /home and 10GB for root, but this time I left the /home out [06:48] 2gb? [06:48] KD8FYT, i'm trying to find people with jaunty and LG phones [06:48] metaaa, that is disabled [06:48] sammy, that way you're getting around a kernel issue but still have new software [06:48] well Im one. heh [06:48] Titan8990: I ran out of room in /home so I wanted to make this one really big [06:48] KD8FYT, see if we replicate the issue across different models [06:48] froes u have sound issuses? [06:49] just wondering if there is an advantage if you don't run more than 4gb [06:49] metaaa, just let me know what you need me to do and Ill help out [06:49] zortec: just back up anything you can't live without before you start messing around & it won't matter if you mess up... [06:49] i think my install maybe fucked up, because on my synaptics, even on search it wont show all packages. [06:49] I may be moving from KDE to Gnome... Can anyone recommend a tutorial or guide for a long time linux/kde user who is using gnome for the first time? [06:49] Hi, the partitioner on the Live CD does not recognize anything on my hard drive, what can I do? [06:49] like i had to install htop ... it wouldnt show [06:49] metaaa, i would really love to get the pictures of the catfish i caught yesterday off the phone, so yeah, im up for helping [06:49] zortec, a way to keep a multiple partition setup-up AND allow of them to easily expand and be resized is LVM [06:49] !lvm | zortec [06:49] superfly420, no .. sound works perfectly [06:49] zortec: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [06:49] hmm [06:49] sparr: gnome is pretty straight forward [06:50] losher, Titan8990: I want to install both the ubuntu desktop and the kde 4.2, but about that should I go with KDE 4 or KDE 3.5 which I heard is more stable? [06:50] zortec, sort of on the advanced side of things though [06:50] Has anyone get good printing by Epson printers ?? [06:50] gnome went after my wife the other night, i had to put it in its place. [06:50] zortec, you don't get to pick.... [06:50] zortec, this isn't gentoo :) [06:50] darlek: yes, I'm sorry, I do understand that I can update the kernel in 9.04, I was just wondering if there was some way I'm not thinking of to boot with 2.6.29 and install that. though it seems i might have to make some sort of custom live cd or some such... [06:50] djdavis75: I don't mean the UI so much as the applications. i use k3b for cd burning now, what's the gnome equivalent? what file manager will i use instead of konqueror? [06:50] Titan8990: I don't consider myself advanced in linux at all, don't you get to pick when you select packages? [06:50] another thing i am having is, sometimes net work manager wont connect my mobile, i have to restart the laptop to be able to connect. [06:50] zortec, versions? in debian package management? don't think so... [06:51] Titan8990 Sorry I must have package management all confused in ubuntu [06:51] guess I just have to reformat and start from scratch? [06:51] and sometimes it boots all fucked up .. another display settings, sound wont work, etc [06:51] sparr: nautalis is the file manager, brasero or gnome baker are cd burners, there are many [06:51] sammy, yes the custom cd . if that's not an option, load 8.10, get the higher kernels, update to 9.04, then switch grub to use the higher kernels instead [06:51] zortec, you take the newest version in the repo and that it, that is the point of different versions to disto like 9.04 (jaunty) [06:51] Has anyone get good printing by Epson printers ?? [06:51] Has anyone get good printing by Epson printers ?? [06:51] Has anyone get good printing by Epson printers ?? [06:51] Shailendra: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:51] zortec, you know 9.04 will have things such as KDE 4.2 [06:51] bye Shailendra [06:51] darlek: ah, custom cd. I have something to google now! thank you. [06:51] i was talking with a guy but i forgot his name :( [06:52] zortec, there are distro much more flexible with using different versions but the are advanced "enthusiast" distros [06:52] Titan8990: I do know that ubuntu is going to have the latest packages in the repositories, just didn't know if they would offer kde 3.5 though [06:52] djdavis75: I'm going to try reinstalling kubuntu, see how many problems that resolves. if not many, then ill be moving to gnome [06:52] all that really pisses me of [06:52] zortec, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:52] Titan8990: You keep using that word "advanced" that I'm kind of a ltitle intimidated to use linux [06:52] zortec, load of bloat IMO [06:53] wish me luck on a fresh install [06:53] zortec, I am not recommending it, I am just telling you what it is [06:53] no suggestions of things to check/actions to take? [06:53] Titan8990: I come from a huge Windows background all the way back to 3.1 that I wanted to see if I could make the switch over to Linux without too many hitches [06:53] zortec, I have personally found that xfce (with plenty of adjustments) will look as good as KDE/GNOME, provide the same functionality, and do it as a faster speed [06:53] zortec, linux is not a replacement for windows [06:54] i have a really weird sound problem, it comes out mono only from the left and very distorted [06:54] zortec, you have to think linux, not think windows [06:54] zortec No, you will have to adjust to the new environment [06:54] is there anything i can do to see if its hardware [06:54] Titan8990: Of course, I know that linux is its own operating system just like mac or windows for that matter [06:54] zortec: the design philosophy is very different in a lot of ways [06:54] zortec: It took my Windows HD dying a week before finals to switch. After finals were dealt with and I could get the thing fixed, I was used to it and no longer saw the point in a Windows reinstall. [06:54] superfly420: I would google your sound card model with ubuntu and some short problem description [06:55] i have tried to no avail [06:55] what model card u have? [06:55] its an says intel hda [06:55] zortec: Why not make things simple for yourself. Install 8.04 with gnome & play with it for a while. Then branch out... [06:55] saprophyte_, do you have any issues with intel video drivers? i can never go to console (Ctrl + alt + Fx ) [06:55] lol, ok [06:55] It's just different at some core levels; it'll be confusing as all heck for a few days, then you'll feel clumsy for a few days, then you'll think it's great. [06:56] losher: I can't use any live cd since my graphics card is the problem here and so I have to use a minimal cd is what I have done with ubuntu 9.04 [06:56] losher: That is why I'm here in the first place [06:56] is there anyway to switch it to stereo? [06:56] My liveCD is giving me issues too.. [06:56] zortec: no, use the alternate CD, it has a console install, but has X. [06:56] zortec you can use an alt dic if you wis [06:56] h [06:57] alt disc [06:57] zortec, it takes a while to get over the pciture-book-for-kids-style and not be intimidated by the cli. Once that's done it's on to the next hurdle ;) [06:57] losher: Another issue is that I want to fully test out 3D effects and hardware in linux and I've ran ubuntu in a VM but it doesn't utilize your hardware to the fullest and so we are back to the minimal install [06:57] zortec: that's an ambitious list to try with what's apparently a non-supported/non-standard graphics card... [06:57] Rabbitbunny: There is a bug that I guess has been identified in the alternate CD where your cd is not recognized and so it was suggested I go with the minimal CD [06:58] how do i check the exact card i have lspci? [06:58] zortec, that's a surprise, I have 9.04 running with a 16mb trident card on a PIII, so I'd be surprised that you're running something slower than mine ;) [06:58] hi [06:58] why do people get so impressed that something would run on a P3? [06:58] here I want some help gyes [06:58] i've run vista with glass on a P3 [06:58] superfly420, you can also try sudo lshw [06:59] I have 9.04 live on a 400Mhz p1 with 128mb ram, runs fine. [06:59] if ubuntu can't keep up with vista, you're doing it wrong [06:59] thanks [06:59] !ask | kancha [06:59] Rabbitbunny, nice [06:59] kancha: 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. :-) [06:59] The graphics chipset I have is nvidia nforce 610i/geforce 7300... once I get access to the restricted drivers through the minimal install, my video works fine but I can't do any testing as I have no access to those drivers on the alternate CD or the live CD [06:59] metaaa: what kind of graphica card did you have and how much ram did you have? [06:59] zortec, gotcha [06:59] gig and a 6600GT [07:00] zortec, are you sure you did a minimal install (CLI only)? [07:00] zortec: ok, makes more sense now. [07:00] Has anyone get good printing by Epson printers ?? [07:00] hello there [07:00] Has anyone get good printing by Epson LX 300 + printers ?? [07:00] Titan8990 I did the install off the minimal CD. There are two options, one is for the regular installer and the other is for a command line install. [07:00] can you guys help me with 9.04 ssh lag problem? [07:01] Does anybody here connect their phone to their ubuntu machine using a USB cable, and do they do this on jaunty, or have the ability to? i need to see what models are effected by this issue, please PM me? [07:01] Titan8990: I did the regular installer, but it only works on the minimal install CD which I admit is weird, but it works anyway [07:01] hett: whats the problem? [07:01] Has anyone get good printing by Epson LX 300 + printers on ubuntu 8.10 ?? [07:01] Has anyone get good printing by Epson LX 300 + printers on ubuntu 8.10 ?? Please help me [07:01] Titan8990: I don't have a desktop though. It failed to install any of the packages I selected so I just have a base system with a command line interface [07:01] metaaa haven't got my blackberry to work yet using x64 ubuntu [07:01] OpenPsycho, when I'm working via ssh on my server I'm getting lagged randomly by 2-10 secs [07:01] Shailendra: no one here probably has that printer [07:02] Shailendra: try google ubuntu and the printer model [07:02] saprophyte_, i think 9.04 hates phones in general [07:03] saprophyte_, which model? [07:03] 9.04 does see my MING [07:03] doesn't [07:03] MING? [07:03] metaaa: blackberry perl 8130 [07:03] Moto A1200 [07:03] hey anybody here make tracker music? [07:03] zortec, if you run the sudo aptitude safe-update or dist-upgrade, does aptitude help add new software? I'm figuring that's how you get the better nvidia support as well as a desktop [07:03] hett: whats the latency to the server? [07:03] So you don't recommend if I want to just test out desktops to install ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, and xubuntu-desktop... or any of the other desktops that are available in the package manager [07:03] hett: what are the processes .... pastebin the ssh logs [07:03] zortec, you should try the alternate instead of the minimal [07:04] Maybe a new channel, #ubuntu-phoneissue ? [07:04] hett: did you try ping? how far is the server? [07:04] whats the easiest way to upgrade to .29 kernel [07:04] !alternate | zortec [07:04] zortec: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [07:04] uh, guys I'm working on my local server [07:04] Titan8990: I've tried the alternate. It didn't recognize my cdrom and was looping so I just burned the minimal iso to a CD and I used that [07:04] !minimal | zortec [07:04] zortec: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:04] zortec, worry first about getting the ubuntu-desktop up and running first, then you can add and try [07:04] I mean, on my LAN === cristina is now known as felix_2 [07:04] Has anyone get good printing by Epson LX 300 + printers on ubuntu 8.10 ?? Please help me [07:04] I have wired network here [07:05] hett: ah, i've had that happen before i installed openssh and did something with security keys. [07:05] saprophyte_, does it show up using lsusb? [07:05] darlek: Could I not just install all of the desktops and then have it boot into one of them? I have no experience in this [07:05] darlek: I know that apt-get will download all the packages for me [07:05] zortec: Yes. [07:05] Rabbitbunny, k, I'll try to install openssh...anyway my ping with the server max is 3ms [07:05] metaaa yes it does [07:06] qualcomm? [07:06] Rabbitbunny, and I have no prblem with 8.10... :-/ [07:06] does it show up as qualcomm when you try to connect as mass storage? [07:06] zortec, actually the ubuntu is the main underlying system and kde /xubuntu use and share libraries between them. When the ubuntu is loaded you can then apt get kde and xubuntu . On login you would then select the desktop, but the login is running from ubuntu ;) [07:06] Is that a known bug with the Minimal CD? I can't get it to run since my cdrom is not recognized [07:07] do anyone knows how to install eclipse on 9.04 without the gcj support ??? just with the sun-jdk ?? [07:07] I also should point out I have no drivers to tell it where my cdrom is located, it should pick that up automatically or so I thought [07:07] hett: hmm, might be out of my league, my server is still LTS. [07:07] anyone know how i would have it stop asking me whether i want to 'run' 'run in terminal' 'display' or 'cancel' a specific executable text file [07:07] I'd like to know that myself.. [07:08] darlek: Oh, ubuntu and kubuntu are not separate desktops from one another? [07:08] darlek: I thought they run independently of each other and do not rely on one to be installed [07:08] zortec yes they are [07:09] So I could install kubuntu-desktop and then install ubuntu-desktop later right? [07:09] zortec either window manager may be run [07:09] zortec or fouxbox, xubuntu and so on [07:09] koshari: fluxbox [07:09] fluxbox sorry [07:09] koshari I knew what you mean :) [07:10] zortec, each *buntu can be installed as it's own system but mostly ubuntu is installed first, then the others are layered on top. Thus if you delete one you have the other. Many programs are not 100% kde or gnome, so it's designed for greatest flexibility [07:10] darlek there not really layered on top, thet are more like peers [07:10] kde is not strong enough to run without ubuntu? That is what I'm guessing [07:10] yeah [07:10] do anyone knows why 8.04 will be maintained until April 2011 and 9.04 only until 2010 [07:10] ?? [07:10] So you are using ubuntu as a fallback if kde screws up? [07:10] zortec, each *buntu varies in a degree that they shouldn't be considered seperate distros [07:10] zortec kubuntu is pure kde withour gnome,. [07:10] froes: Because 8.04 is an LTS release, 9.04 is just a regular one. [07:11] !lts | froes [07:11] froes: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [07:11] I was thinking of shared libraries or cross scripts [07:11] humm thanks guys [07:11] froes, 8.04 uses a more traditional linux update scheme of patching, not upgrading [07:11] So the recommended way to do this is to install ubuntu and then kde if I want both desktops? [07:11] I can't go kde then ubuntu [07:11] zortec, yes [07:12] darlek the librarys are more to do with the developer platform than the WM wad created with [07:12] zortec: You can go Kubuntu then Ubuntu, yes. [07:12] zortec, you select what which one you want to use from the log-in [07:12] koshari, ah i see [07:12] froes: 8.04 is a LTS (Long Term Service) release. [07:12] Why am I getting different answers? It's kind of confusing [07:12] zortec, either or is fine [07:12] zortec, you can do it however you want [07:12] zortec: you *SHOULD* be able to do it both ways [07:12] I want to do it in such a way that stability is not going to take a hit because of it [07:12] zortec: itsnot really confusoing think of 3 different lego sets, they all are built on lego however [07:12] zortec: It will not matter which order you do them in. [07:13] If installing kde first is going to screw everything up, then I don't want to go that way [07:13] -0-9 [07:13] !find wmmon > RHorse [07:13] Hello, my development machine here at work has 4GB of RAM and sometimes it runs mega slow, I found out it's an Ubuntu install from within Windows XP [07:13] zortec each release has a metapackage which basically states what packages that release will use as default, [07:13] Could that be what's slowing down my performance? [07:13] What does darlek mean when he says that the other window managers are built on top of ubuntu? [07:13] cos on Windows 7 it's very responsive [07:13] zortec: "Ubuntu" the distro, not "Ubuntu" the flavor. [07:14] zortec: kde, gnome, etc... are just different desktop environments for linux, ubuntu ships with and is setup with gnome by default, kubuntu with kde by default, reguardless of what u start with, you can install other desktops [07:14] how do i change the visual effects beyond none/normal/extra? [07:14] So kde does not take anything from gnome and vice-versa? [07:14] zortec: No [07:14] zortec, my understanding was later corrected. Ubuntu like any desktop shares files so that you can run a kde app if you have kubuntu desktop installed even if I'm in gnome. [07:14] biax: you have to install the compiz config tool [07:14] zortec it wont screw anything up, only thing is you will have a lot of packages installed, like possable 3 browsers, and a couple of different file managers ect as teach release has different apps [07:15] biax: I don't remember the exact name, it's in synaptic [07:15] zortec, thus I don't have to switch/logoff first [07:15] hi [07:15] What is the general feeling about kde and gnome? I used gnome to start with and didn't have a problem, but I want to see what kde is like [07:15] !ccsm | billybigrigger [07:15] billybigrigger: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [07:15] darlek correct providing its dependencies are met and apt WILL take care of that [07:15] <``y7> does ubuntu's OS have something equivalent to windows's DPI setting to where you can make everything bigger? [07:15] hi, my firefox "eats" my memory.... what can i do? [07:15] bah.. sorry billybigrigger, wrong nick [07:15] hi, my firefox "eats" my memory.... what can i do? [07:16] that's normal. [07:16] zortec: I run ubuntu, with gnome, but I can run KDE apps, it will just install a lot of extra libraries to run them, since ubuntu doesn't have those libraries by default [07:16] use Opera if you don't have enough RAM. [07:16] zortec purely comes down to personal opinion, some people like anchvey on pizza , dont make it superior pizza [07:16] you can switch to Opera [07:16] ``y7: Yes. But not to be recommended. [07:16] Does KDE look a lot like vista or MacOS? I've heard those opinions [07:16] xtiancr: use dillo [07:16] but is opera have plugins like firefox? [07:17] xtiancr: Use a different (alternative) browsers. [07:17] djdavis75: sure but you will install a tonne of qt deps [07:17] Gnome + Dust > Aero/KDE [07:17] action: yep [07:17] zortec they are both havily custimisable, you can make them look pretty much anyway you like, [07:17] zortec: It looks more like Vista. :) [07:17] zortec: you can skin either to look like aero [07:17] is there a good plugins in opera? [07:17] KDE looks a lot like KDE.. [07:17] <``y7> zortec, do i have any other options if my setup is too small? === kristian1halonen is now known as n0gear [07:17] ``y7: Sorry? I didn't see your question [07:18] somebody speak spanish?? [07:18] !es | xtiancr [07:18] zortec, I've had kubuntu, ubuntu and xubuntu all running at once. in the end I stuck to ubuntu to save space and reduce package clutter. Frankly you can add as many as you want. KDE fonts drove me nuts though. Some like it however. Xubuntu loaded quickly and was great on my low memory. Play around! [07:18] xtiancr: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [07:18] somebody speak spanish?? alguien habla español? [07:18] djdavis75 if you install ANY quicktime app the librarys will be installed [07:18] I did like when I was watching a review on youtube of kde that it's easier to install wallpapers and themes [07:18] ``y7: you mean zoom, it's under accessability. [07:18] But it doesn't make the best use of screen space [07:18] metaaa did you see the message that my blackberry pearl 8130 now shows up on 9.04? [07:19] ye [07:19] s [07:19] <``y7> Rabbitbunny, i'd rather not have to zoom, i was hoping i could just increase the size of everything. maybe it's the same thing in ubuntu? [07:19] kk [07:19] zortec: theres also fluxbox, LXDE< Enlightenment as well as the better known DEs (and more) [07:19] zortec installing wallpapers on fluxbox is pretty darn easy too [07:19] ``y7: then lower you resolution. [07:19] <``y7> that makes the monitor blurry :( [07:19] I've also heard of evilwm and icewm. what are those like? There seems to be a lot of choice in what you install and what you prefer. Doesn't this kind of make it more confusing to new users? [07:19] zortec, as well each one updates, so as time goes on they all get better eventually ;) [07:19] ``y7: wear reading glasses. [07:19] I'd love to hear opinions on that, lol. [07:19] ``y7: You're trying to increase font size... or ... ? [07:20] guys how can i get these permissions for all the files in a folder "drwxr-xr-x" [07:20] <``y7> Rabbitbunny: that makes things blurry too ;) [07:20] !chmod | RORgasm [07:20] RORgasm: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [07:20] <``y7> PossiblyTheLonge, basically the equivalent of increasing the DPI in windows. I'm just trying to make everything larger.... like decreasing the screen resolution.... but a solution that doesn't involve adding blurryness would be nice [07:20] zortec: imho, most ppl use gnome or kde if they have a fairly new computer, on smaller systems some of the lighter weight options are nice [07:20] zortec: again, its all config and themes [07:20] zortec, pepperoni pizza = Windows, veggie slice = Mac, Linux = Amatos any slice [07:20] Can you be certain that if you install apps from the main ubuntu repository that your system is going to be stable? I had a question about that too === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:21] ``y7: Increase the DPI in Ubuntu then. :) [07:21] RORgasm chmod can do aLL [07:21] chmod rules [07:21] <``y7> PossiblyTheLonge, where can i do that at? [07:21] I noticed there are several different repositories including universe/multiverse/restricted/main [07:21] djdavis75: i use LXDE on nall desktop systems to give max resources to my apps, not just to make the DE exist [07:21] ``y7: ALT + F2 --> gconf-editor [07:21] RHorse, PossiblyTheLonge, thanx but i was wondering if i could just get a direct answer for that... i think it should be something like 'chmod -775 -R foo' where foo is the parent directory [07:21] Is there a bureaucrat in the house? [07:21] Somebody messed around with !chmod factorid? :( [07:22] RORgasm: Why not use chmod 777? [07:22] sorry, wrong channel [07:22] RORgasm: no dashes, sudo chmod 755 file [07:22] zortec: most new users take the defaults, and so use gnome. You could do a lot worse, and the decision isn't irrevocable... [07:22] Rabbitbunny, zortec, would that give me 'drwxr-xr-x' [07:22] RORgasm I dont do direct answers at 0700Z [07:22] zortec: because 777 is a terrible idea. [07:22] RORgasm, yes [07:22] grrh, all that trouble with the CD not recognizing Windows, I start from scratch wiping the HD and making all new partitions and it asks if I want to import the settings. :p [07:22] hi.. i have compiled the latest 2.6.29 kernel with rt patch [07:22] RORgasm: uh, there's some sorta math involved, man chmod. [07:22] Rabbitbunny: That is what they were suggesting in the ubuntu forums, that you chmod 777 for anything that you don't have execute permissions on [07:22] ror: chmod 755 * I think would work to do every file [07:23] now its not showing in boot menu [07:23] grub. [07:23] RORgasm: I think you need to learn chmod. It's one of the common commands, such as cd, ls, grep, etc. [07:23] *headdesk* [07:23] zortec: yeah, the noobs are on the forums. [07:23] i have done make module_install, [07:23] zortec: 777 gives everyone ever possible access to the data [07:23] Rabbitbunny: So now you are saying I should try to avoid the advice they give on the forums, lol. [07:23] ``y7: I'm using my buddy's laptop at the moment -- Can't help you exactly but DPI is in gconf-editor [07:24] Hi. I'm running Ubuntu-EEE on my Acer Aspire One. Before I installed that, it had a different version of linux, and everything worked. Now, everything works except for wifi. Not sure what steps to take to troubleshoot this? It's weird though, b/c there is an on/off switch for wifi, with lights, but now it won't even light up. It light up before with the other version of linux. [07:24] <``y7> roger that PossiblyTheLonge, thanks for the help [07:24] I normally do. [07:24] zortec: Like any volunteer support, you'll always have people who don't know any better, etc. Generally, the rest of the people catch inexperience in time, but not always. [07:24] Anixx: Did you check the Ubuntu Community for Acer Aspire? [07:24] I'm still a bit fuzzy on the whole swap thing. I started with 3GB swap but on this install I only did a 1GB swap [07:25] Rorgo: read is 4, write is 2, and execute is 1, if I remember write, add up the ones u want and u get the number, first number is file owner, second file group, third is everyone else [07:25] yeah, it suggests compability and supported drivers [07:25] I was told swap is not really used. It might not even be used when you suspend. [07:25] zortec: I think hibernation requires it [07:25] i use swap a lot, but i only have 1gb ram [07:25] Anixx, Acer might have a special kernel that loads and uses the wifi. If that isn't available in the regular ubuntu upgrade that may be why the wifi is off. I read that on some forum. You might google about that [07:25] yeah, i'm hazy on that - all the recommendations are from when computers were tiny. [07:25] and the ubuntu-eee claims it has built in all the drivers and custom kernel needed for Acer Aspire One. [07:26] lstarnes: I haven't used hibernation in ages since I've always had problems with it so I just do a suspend/shut down [07:26] Anixx: Easy Peasy Ubuntu? Is that Ubuntu EEE? [07:26] Anixx, you can use the former kernel with the newer software and see if the wifi returns. I did this with Ibex where I didn't use it's kernel because the wifi sucked. [07:27] What is a good text based browser? I want to google a few things before I install my desktop [07:27] zortec: lynx [07:27] zortec, w3m [07:27] Ubuntu-EEE is ubuntu with modified kernel/drivers for the asus and acer netbooks [07:27] elinks is really nice [07:27] I've used lynx before, it didn't have a lot of functionality [07:28] It seemed to be really limited [07:28] zortec: It's a basic text-based browser. elinks is the advanced version. [07:28] PossiblyTheLonge it's completely different from lynx [07:29] Anixx: Did you read this already --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [07:29] ah, thank you, hadn't come across that [07:30] Anixx: Good luck. I have Aspire One netbook myself. Although everything seems to be working right out of the box, including wifi. [07:31] where (channel) can I find Evolution's Calendar help? [07:31] How do you use w3m? I guess I'm not at all familiar with text browsers [07:32] zortec w3m is awful [07:32] livecd has my soundcard working with a module called "snd_ens1370". how do i get that module in my installation? (which package would it be in?) [07:32] zortec: easiest way is to just start out with "w3m url" [07:32] what is a good text browser then? [07:32] I like elinks for a terminal and lynx for console [07:32] jamiejackson: was it not installed automatically? [07:32] zortec, lots of tabbing, hitting enter over a box will show text: at the bottom then enter engages in a search etc [07:33] alright im going to install windows 7 real quick brb [07:33] darlek, zortec: you can use arrow keys too. Don't need to tab all the time. [07:33] I'll try elinks now I hadn't used it [07:33] djdavis75: i added the card just tonight djdavis75 [07:33] I'm trying lynx now [07:33] What does 'at' stand for in Configuration Editor > /desktop/gnome/applications/at?

[07:36] jamiejackson: so you put a different card in the box but it won't work? [07:36] djdavis75: yeah, couldn't get the onboard device to work, so stuck a new card in there [07:37] new card didn't work, so i booted to livecd to see what would happen, and it worked there [07:37] zortec it comes compiled with it [07:37] jamiejackson: and the new card work on the live cd but not on the installed version? [07:37] can someone help me with nvidia driver install? ive tried using envy, the restricted drivers, and the drivers off nvidia, and none work card is fx5500 [07:37] yes, djdavis75 [07:37] jamiejackson: hmm, does it use a restricted driver? [07:38] jamiejackson: try running the Hardware Drivers app [07:38] RHorse: I have a usb mouse that is not working in elinks [07:39] zortec in a console? [07:39] unix: will the Hard Drivers app not install it? [07:39] no [07:39] Hardware Drivers [07:39] RHorse: Yes [07:39] is anyone knows how in svn i force him to demand from user to lock a file before editing it? [07:39] unix: does it list it as available? [07:39] yes, it works as far as resolution does, just not opengl or any 3d usage [07:40] roobot3: Try #svn [07:40] nice.. elinks a better lynx.. [07:40] zortec for console support you need a special mouse driver or you can''t use a mouse in any app in the console. But I don't remember what that driver is called. It's in the repos. [07:40] Pici: hello sir ! openssh server is working too good is there a way for me to monitor what are the file transaction taking place ? [07:40] and when i try nvidia-settings it says im not using a nvidia gpu, even though the hardware drivers are in use lol [07:40] unix: did you just try using synaptic to install it, not sure which version supports fx5500 [07:40] Can I search for a mouse driver? [07:41] try unplugging and then plugging in the mouse again [07:41] tried every version of the drivers for nvidia in synaptic [07:41] zortec just google elinks browser console mouse support [07:41] unix: sound kind of like it's still using the generic nvidia driver with X [07:42] zortec gpm [07:42] unix: and not the binary nvidia restricted driver [07:42] well i d/led the drivers off nvidias site too, which is how i have always gotten it to work with any other distor, and it creates my xorg.conf for me, but it never uses it [07:43] Flannel: I agree. -- Thank you.

[07:52] zortec: for an end user system cli is probably not best, might be fine for a server [07:52] zortec: There are no right or wrong. If you want to use CLI for everything. That's possible. finch for pidgin. [07:52] !finch | zortec [07:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about finch [07:52] djdavis75: jamiejackson: hmm, does it use a restricted driver? <= no [07:52] hi, why won't my hibernate work? I installed Ubuntu 9.04 with Wubi installer inside Windows Vista! [07:52] indus: well.. unclosed might be a better word [07:52] this log messages identify that my bios is corrupt.. starting with that... i have more issues [07:52] mib_19lvlcuc: what in there looks suspicious? [07:52] !info finch | zortec [07:52] zortec: finch (source: pidgin): text-based multi-protocol instant messaging client. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8 (jaunty), package size 208 kB, installed size 704 kB [07:53] Slart: i think applications request a specific port to be opened on request [07:53] zortec: I use it sometimes. The problem is remembering all keyboard shortcuts for every application. ;O [07:53] like http port 80 [07:53] indus: or.. well.. they are closed.. but the firewall won't do anything to prevent an app from opening them [07:53] need help in my hosts file. [07:53] Slart: ya [07:53] Later. ;O [07:53] indus: bah.. you know what I mean =) [07:53] http://pastebin.ca/1445861 [07:53] :\ [07:53] hello can some body help me [07:53] Slart: no rules that is :) [07:53] What about apps for like programming or virtual emulation software? [07:53] what's the best tool for creating an xorg.conf with all the right resolution/refresh information for my monitor? [07:54] Can you get all those text based? [07:54] hi, why won't my hibernate work? I installed Ubuntu 9.04 with Wubi installer inside Windows Vista! [07:54] indus: yup.. and policy "accept" [07:54] aaab77: ask a question [07:54] Also, i need to know if loading all that bluetooth stuff is ok or normal, because i think that's how i am being hacked [07:54] zortec, like IDEs? [07:54] When I put a blank CD or DVD in, a dialog box appears and says "Select how to open "Blank DVD+R Disc" but the drop down box is greyed and says No application found despite having Brasero and GnomeBaker installed [07:54] Slart: probably dangerous no ? hmm [07:54] mib_19lvlcuc: having bluetooth loaded is normal [07:54] zortec: for programming look into vi and emacs [07:54] Slart: always install apps from trusted sources :D [07:54] mib_19lvlcuc: what makes you think you're being hacked? [07:55] zortec, +1 emacs... [07:55] I mean, I have no bluetooth devices installed on my system, yet it loads that stuff.... [07:55] I have windows Os in my computer but it can not be login i used ubuntu live cd how to enter to partion for windows [07:55] zortec, but there are large IDEs too [07:55] Titan8990: Yes IDE or programming editors [07:55] Slart: or you will end up paying through your 'backport' :DD [07:55] Titan8990: You can't really call emacs an IDE :) [07:55] zortec, which language? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:55] indus: well.. having a computer connected to any kind of network is dangerous.. but I wouldn't lose sleep over haveing a default firewall setup on my desktop [07:55] zortec, that's right, emacs is pretty much an OS :) [07:55] Titan8990: C++/PHP/Java [07:56] mib_19lvlcuc: you're just paranoid [07:56] aaab77: you can use gparted (Partition Editor) to partition [07:56] can anyone recommend a good, comprehensive, long guide to learning about ubuntu? [07:56] zortec, eclipse or netbeans [07:56] Slart: ok [07:56] And I am being serious when i say that some one has been hacking my system because i 've been having windows closed without apparently reason, closed downloading internet connections and more stuff of that kind [07:56] zortec, java default, plugins for C++ java python a few others [07:56] Anixx, the pocket guide in the absolute beginnner's forum is great. I'm reading it [07:56] djdavis75: but my file it will not delete [07:56] zortec: perfect, much thanks [07:56] Slart: also how to check which ports are open [07:56] ? [07:56] zortec, also there is geany and kdevelop for C/C++ [07:56] bc: How do you know? [07:56] mib_19lvlcuc: those could just be bugs [07:56] I just don't know if I like the look of a cli system without any GUI [07:57] aaab77: are u trying to install unbuntu and keep Windows too? [07:57] hi, why won't my hibernate work? I installed Ubuntu 9.04 with Wubi installer inside Windows Vista! [07:57] bc: I mean, you 're saying my log is normal? [07:57] That is kind of like watching all your shows in black and white, lol. [07:57] mib_19lvlcuc: I don't see too much unusual about that dmesg output [07:57] mib_19lvlcuc: try checking /var/log/syslog [07:57] zortec, yeah... atleast some kind of window manager [07:57] indus: nmap is nice.. lsof might work if you're interested in your own system === kevor[aw] is now known as kevor [07:57] lstarnes: Ok, i am on my way [07:57] hello [07:58] Anyone know what a MUD is? I'm also looking for a decent mud client [07:58] !away > kevor [07:58] kevor, please see my private message [07:58] zortec: wow, you're like my lord to develop the pacience. ;) [07:58] !nmap [07:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about nmap [07:58] does anyone know why chdir doesn't work when creating an user with useradd [07:58] zortec: Mushclient runs real well in wine [07:58] zortec, not in years [07:58] mib_19lvlcuc: the BIOS may be corrupt message appears to have been written by a non-native English speaker [07:58] but with adduser [07:58] no my windows is coupt it i am trying to enter to my file in window partion from ubuntu but i can not [07:58] my problem is that I need to create user with password and without promting for it [07:59] josefig: I'm still trying to understand that line. Is that a compliment to my patience in the chat room or? [07:59] aaab77: can you pastebin your attempt? [07:59] I want to give it on the command line, but only useradd permits it [07:59] zortec: But, tintin is the traditional "everything is based off of it" client [07:59] jerroome, doesn't sound like a good idea to me [07:59] Flannel: I have the latest zmud on my windows machine which probably would also run in wine I'd imagine [07:59] mib_19lvlcuc: or could just be cryptic. probably anticipating buggy phoenix bios, but not necessarily a problem [07:59] indus: it's a remote port scanner kind of thingy.. [07:59] aaab77: the live cd should be able to read the ntfs partition, unless it's corrupted, in that cause you could try to fix it [07:59] Running Jaunty amd64 and it doesnt seem to detect any installed applications to set as "Preferred" in File Manager Properties > Media Tab [07:59] any idea ? [08:00] anyways [08:00] why ? [08:00] indus: if you install it you can run things like "nmap " and it will check for open ports [08:00] zortec: Nick Gammon (Mushclient guy) has made a number of changes to make sure everything works in Wine. No idea re: Zugg [08:00] You can learn a lot about linux/ubuntu just by being in this irc room. Of course I've been in here 3 days now and the community really shines through [08:00] djdavis75 : you mean that there is a probelm with hard disk [08:00] firefox seems really slow on my system (unrelated question) [08:00] jerroome, what are you going to do with these users w/o passwords? [08:00] aaab77: or corrupt ntfs [08:00] help [08:01] One of these days I wanted to read all of the forum posts but I don't think I'll ever have the time to do that. It is just a vast number of them [08:01] how can I use the free nv-driver in Ubuntu 9.04? [08:01] I'm using different users for different apps on a customized ubuntu [08:01] djdavis75: then what is solution [08:01] whenever i open it, it seems to access harddisk for a long time , it freezes then again everything is normal [08:01] stxing: You can download it from the restricted-drivers repository in synaptic [08:01] aaab77: try fdisk -l to see what partition the windows is, the mount it [08:01] installation of the machines are completely automatic with preseed [08:01] then mount it [08:01] mib_19lvlcuc: also, are you sure your system has no bluetooth capability? if not, the kernel built for the desktop might be anticipating future usage, or something like that. [08:01] Here is my syslog, at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187169/ [08:02] but I have to do a firstboot for different stuff where I also want to create my different users [08:02] What does +i mean in irssi? [08:02] It's next to my username [08:02] zortec: that's your usermode [08:02] djdavis75 : i am beginner in linux can you give the step how to do mount and fdisk [08:02] zortec: Some of these questions might be better off in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:02] can anyone help? my .fdi file is not being read by hal [08:02] I also noticed that the words get cut off at the far edge of the screen. I'm guessing since I don't have my graphics driver [08:03] Flannel: Isn't this channel for all ubuntu questions? [08:03] aaab77: well look in the Places menu, if there are any drives listed in there, then try that first [08:03] Flannel: I didn't know about the different irc rooms on irc.freenode.net [08:03] aaab77: like 160GB Volume [08:03] zortec: how can I enable this driver? [08:03] djdavis75 you have to get used to using man pages. man [app]. Learn by yourself. It's more fun [08:04] djdavis75: yes [08:04] zortec: This channel is for Ubuntu support questions, yes. #ubuntu-offtopic is for non-Ubuntu support discussion/questions/etc [08:04] Wouldn't all questions if someone is on ubuntu be ubuntu related? :) [08:04] rhorse: I thought it'd be easier to example than fdisk -l, mount -t ntfs /dev/whatever [08:05] aaab77 you have to get used to using man pages. man [app]. Learn by yourself. It's more fun [08:05] no more answers ? [08:05] stxing: You can get it through Synaptic. [08:05] RHorse: can you clear more [08:05] mib_19lvlcuc: looks ok to me assuming you are on supposed to be on the 10 network and your DNS server is in fact 10.3.1.125 [08:05] RHorse: Red Horse? [08:05] bc: My mother board is an ASUS model M2NPV-VM, and it does'nt have any mother board bluetooth , and i have no peripherials but a grub hard disk [08:06] Red Horse is my favorite beer [08:06] Rocking [08:06] red horse, extra strong... ito ang lakas, ito ang tama!

[08:06] Is anyone paid in this irc room? [08:07] not for irc :P [08:07] zortec: I hope not, cause I haven't been getting my checks if they are. :D [08:07] I thought there might be official ubuntu developers who were paid for their work on ubuntu [08:07] mib_19lvlcuc: no worries. i dont have bluetooth and I see the same messages. [08:07] zortec: after installation ,how to configure ? [08:08] stxing: You need to run the nvidia configure which should be in the gnome menu if that is what you are using [08:08] does anyone know how to force the system to chdir the user to it's home folder when logging ? [08:08] stxing: I'm not in gnome right now so I can't say what it's called for sure [08:09] stxing: what are u configuring? [08:09] bc: Are you sure? [08:09] djdavis75: He is configuring the nvidia graphics card [08:09] mib_19lvlcuc: I'm positive about the bluetooth [08:09] System -> Administration -> NVIDIA X Server Settings? [08:10] is that what he wants? [08:10] djdavis75: That sounds right [08:10] jerroome, i know that is know as a chroot jail [08:10] does anyone know how to force the system to chdir the user to his home folder when logging ? [08:10] mib_19lvlcuc: http://pastebin.com/f74a5d9ff [08:10] jerroome: You already asked the question. Please be patient and let people have time to answer :) [08:10] i want to use the free nv-driver [08:10] no, chroot isn't meant to be used that way [08:11] bc: I mean, is it normal to have an pan0 interface loaded after booting? [08:11] else, the user won't be able to use the entire system [08:11] mib_19lvlcuc: yes [08:11] jerroome: where is the user taken? to /? [08:11] jerroome, http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/ [08:11] stxing: just don't install the restricted one then [08:11] sorry for double posting ... [08:11] * simoncpu forgot the chroot's/jail's exact behaviour [08:12] stxing: It should be available to you when you try to turn on compiz effects [08:12] stxing: That is how I got mine working [08:12] in that case, just edit .bashrc (or .cshrc, .shrc, whatever) and add cd /home/myuser [08:12] chroot isn't what I want to do [08:13] There are a lot of packages for KDE. It's 1.5GB total. Gnome was not that big [08:13] Hey guys, does anyone know "bc", i mean the online user [08:13] hhm, I will try, but as .bashrc is located in /home/myuser, I don't think it's executed [08:13] i'm trying to modprobe the "snd_ens1370" module, but i don't have the module. how do i get the native audio card drivers on my system? [08:13] i do not need desktop effects [08:13] * bc raises his hand [08:13] stxing Did you search the repositories to see if you could find the nv drivers? [08:14] I am asking if anyone else knows "bc", no ofense, but yo [08:14] mib_19lvlcuc: none taken [08:14] i mean, "bc", no offense but you could be the one hacking my computer [08:14] How do I fix my screen in irssi so it's not cut off at the end? [08:14] mib_19lvlcuc: say what? [08:14] lol [08:14] mib_19lvlcuc: That is a crazy accusation [08:15] as I thought, .bashrc isn't executed as the user doesn't enter his directory [08:15] bc: It ain't an accusation.... [08:15] zortec: no good deed goes unpunished as it were [08:15] its just an assumption [08:15] jerroome: try .profile [08:15] mib_19lvlcuc: He is trying to help you, why would you assume that? [08:15] bc: are you hacking my computer too? [08:15] i am no telling anything, i just asked if anyone knew him.... [08:16] just to be sure he is trying to help me [08:16] mib_19lvlcuc: I don't know anyone in this irc room [08:16] mib_19lvlcuc: Please stay on topic [08:16] mib_19lvlcuc: okay, I'm going to be going away in a few seconds. but based on what I saw from the pastebin, you look fine to me. good luck. [08:16] jerroome: i think .profile or .bashrc can be put at / or /etc [08:16] ok thx bc [08:16] * simoncpu doesn't know the exact behaviour in ubuntu [08:17] What can I do to fix my res so all the text fits on the screen?

[08:18] i am now using nv-driver in 8.04,i want to upgrade to 9.04 [08:18] I only have the cli, but is there a file I can edit to change my res even though I don't have a desktop yet? I'd like for all the text to stay on the screen and not get cut off [08:18] Hey guys, the wireless on my notebook is disabled... ive tried the funciton + wifi button but it wont work, any ideas? [08:19] zortec: irssi should be line wrapping [08:20] Flannel: It only line wraps sometimes [08:20] Flannel: That is why I was trying to find another solution [08:20] and also how to disable touchpad when usb mouse connected? [08:20] Anyone know if this is a possible bug in the 9.04 kernel? the wireless issue? [08:20] Hey Flannel do you know anything about the forums? [08:20] TheFunkbomb: "about"?

It seems the mounts seem to time out after a while and I have to run 'sudo mount -a' to bring them back up, can someone suggest how to fix please [08:22] TheFunkbomb: Try #ubuntuforums [08:22] and i think every time i restart it probes agains the hardwares, like display driver among others. is there a way to fix the hardware? [08:22] bluegoon, just go into terminal [08:22] okay Flannel thanks [08:22] i'm trying to modprobe the "snd_ens1370" module, but i don't have the module. how do i get the native audio card drivers on my system? (ubuntu). live cd loads them properly, but i might not have some package that i need on the *installed* system. i don't seem to have any snd_* modules available. i had previously installed the alsa-source package, and subsequently removed it. not sure if that messed up the native st [08:23] TheFunkbomb, ok, what shouldi do when im in terminal? [08:23] hi [08:23] zortec: Please check my syslog and my booting log... i am posting them in a sec...

[08:23] mib_hgbgmynq: How do you expect met o check your syslog and bootlog? [08:23] bluegoon, try sudo lshw [08:23] that should list all your hardware [08:23] If someone changed the language to be not English, and now can't log-in it's English user/password? strangely there is no English on root console as well... [08:23] zortec: My syslog is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/187179/ [08:23] TheFunkbomb, roger that, one sec [08:23] k [08:24] Rapture: what do you mean by internet key?

[08:27] hi, where can i go for help installing ubuntu on imac (g3) [08:27] sopparus: just do apt-get upgrade [08:27] Rapture: I have 2, I have an Huawei E160, and another one ( the model number escapes me) both work equally well, the problem is the providers normally, in the UK not many have full speed HSDPA coverage [08:27] Flannel, my kernel then [08:27] i have to hax0r with grub to get the raid to work again [08:27] ive completly forgotten how [08:27] djdavis75: no pci dir in /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/sound [08:27] is there a command, dpkg or something, to tell me what deb a file belong to? [08:28] sopparus: Oh, right. They do that stupid don't bump the version thing now, don't they? [08:28] djdavis75: dpkg -S /path/to/file [08:28] flannel: thanks [08:28] sopparus: try sudo apt-get --simulate upgrade, does your kernel get upgraded? [08:28] Flannel, who? its just that i have to run all the weird grub commands again after reinstalling the kernel :( === hello is now known as Guest3915 [08:29] yes [08:29] hi, where can i go for help installing ubuntu on imac (g3) [08:29] Mohero: for provider, here in Italy, in my small country I have three with HSDPA.... ok, Huawei E160... thank you very very very much!!!! [08:29] sopparus: Eh. "who" is the devs. Used to be kernel upgrades only came about with a version change, which was nice, because it'd require a dist-upgrade, because it was a new package. [08:30] greetings everybody [08:30] bluegoon, you still alive there dude? [08:30] so im fucked? [08:30] :) [08:30] !ohmy [08:30] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [08:30] Rapture: no problem, the E156 I think is the other one I have, with Ubuntu, particularly 9.04 I have had no problems, I'm not too keen on EasyPeasy - especially now with Ubuntu Netbook Remix :-D [08:30] sopparus: No, you just have to actually indicate you want it held. [08:30] do you know if libflashsupport flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound are depends of flashplugin-nonfree ? [08:31] sopparus: The easiest way is to do it via synaptic. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Introduction%20to%20Holding%20Packages [08:31] surely my nfs timeout issue is pretty common, as I have the same problem on two machines [08:31] ok [08:31] ill try that then [08:31] thanks [08:32] well, I helped one person, I think that's my morning quota done. time for tea... :) [08:32] Mohero: three is provider (3 ITA), vodafone in not ok... Ha ha ha, I hate netook remix... so I use full desktop with desktop switcher in my eeepc 900.... [08:32] I have my desktop running. How do I get my video card installed?

[08:32] zortec: Where is your desktop running to? [08:33] Rapture: the 2 Dongles I have here are with 3 (great - *IF* you can get a signal) and with o2 barable everywhere - fast in towns [08:33] o2 is effectively telifonica (I beleive) and actually, I prefer them over most here in the UK [08:33] TheFunkbomb, kabotinfo: I went with KDE and I want to install compiz effects like I did in gnome and my video card is NVIDIA nForce 610i/NVIDIA GeForce 7300 [08:33] TheFunkbomb, barely mate [08:34] zortec, find hardware drivers [08:34] TheFunkbomb, waiting for the chick with the laptop to bring it to our office, ill let you know. [08:34] I don't know where it is in kde [08:34] what do you people think of linux mint? [08:34] bluegoon, okay [08:34] hermanChess: it's OK, some of the extra GUI's are good for people that don't want to know what's going on underneth [08:34] hermanChess, don't like any spin-off distros... [08:35] hermanChess: however, I do prefer Ubuntu [08:35] what package installs the kernel modules, what deb? [08:35] moin [08:35] djdavis75, depends on the module [08:35] Titan8990: careful, remember Ubuntu is Debian underneath - so it is in itself a spinoff :) [08:35] jamiejackson: u probably need to reinstall the kernel modules [08:35] Titan8990: so you don't like ubuntu since it is a debian spin-off? [08:35] titan: jamie is missing some sound modules [08:35] Mohero, I don't use ubuntu, but i still help in here [08:36] Mohero: O2?! Are you in England or in Ireland....?? Here we have Vodafone leader and the other are not ok, 3 is small but with small and strong network (HSDPA) [08:36] * Mohero smiles at Boohbah [08:36] Mohero, i started with ubuntu [08:36] fair enough === Ryan_Delaney is now known as causasui [08:36] titan: i have the one he is missing, so I assume it's installed by default, but I don't know what package the kernel modules are in [08:36] TheFunkbomb: What do you mean install hardware drivers? I need to find the driver for my nvidia nforce 610i/7300 geforce chipset. I remember that gnome picked it up and asked me to install it automatically when I turned on compiz [08:36] what package do i have to install to be able to use swing in a java application i'm writing? [08:36] TheFunkbomb, Dude, what exactly happens when you "switch off" wifi on a notebook via the function switch, what happens inside ubuntu? are the drivers still installed etc? Is there a way to "enable" the wifi manually? [08:36] djdavis75, what module is it? [08:36] I used to use Arch , but after some time of small problems here and there I went back to ubuntu [08:36] Rapture: yeah, England, o2 have good coverage, as do Vodafone, 3 definately do _NOT_ :) [08:36] zortec, no, not install it. Just activate the work around. [08:37] i installed sun-java6-*, but it doesn't seem to do the trick [08:37] it it's much simpler, escpecially confiuring xorgf [08:37] TheFunkbomb: What is the workaround? [08:37] xorg* [08:37] bluegoon, I think it just turns it off. I never did it. [08:37] zortec, you remember in GNOME in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers? [08:37] hermanChess, gentoo here [08:38] TheFunkbomb: It was easy in Gnome... I have no idea how it works in KDE [08:38] let me look [08:38] djdavis75: which package is that? [08:38] titan: snd-es1370 [08:38] Hi guys! Anyone could explain me why in jaunty (which carries gnome 2.26) gnome-screensaver is still at 2.24 version? and actually it appears not to be working [08:38] can someone help me to install vmware [08:38] djdavis75, that is an alsa module [08:38] !alsa | djdavis75 [08:38] djdavis75: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [08:38] hey guys [08:38] Titan8990, I imagine gentoo is some sort of archlinux but compiling everything [08:38] !fine snd-es1370 [08:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about fine snd-es1370 [08:38] ubuntu wont work for me [08:38] zortec, do you have the full on kubuntu installed? [08:38] !find snd-es1370 [08:38] ubuntu 8.10 [08:39] Package/file snd-es1370 does not exist in jaunty [08:39] In monodevelop, is there any way to use the forms components from Windows' .NET? [08:39] Titan8990: so you started with a debian spin-off distro isn't it ? [08:39] djdavis75, you should ensure he has the same sound card as you... [08:39] ubuntu is installed and ready to go [08:39] TheFunkbomb: Yes it is the full kubuntu-desktop [08:39] hermanChess, basically [08:39] I logged in [08:39] and i get a black screen [08:39] sidh, started with, yes [08:39] doug8796@PS3Ubuntu:/$ [08:39] _... [08:39] i have NO idea how to get ubuntu to work [08:39] Blancd01, you have ubuntu on your PS3? [08:39] from here [08:39] Titan8990: no, I have a different one, but I still have the module on my system [08:39] yes [08:39] Neat. [08:39] my problem is I get too curious about trying new things, so I've tried a lot of distros and DE's [08:39] sidh, i have used many, just don't prefer them [08:39] TheFunkbomb, weird, ill try to read up on it a bit. [08:39] Mohero: uhahuaha poor 3.... it's everywhere unlucky... [08:39] Anyhow, try typing sudo gdm [08:39] but it wont work any longer [08:40] djdavis75, why does he need sound drivers for your sound card? [08:40] It's that time of the semester when I want to try KDE [08:40] sudo: gdm: command not found [08:40] zortec, I don't know what to tell you. This is an Ubuntu support channel. I think there is a #kubuntu channel [08:40] Titan8990: yeah, snd_ens1370 is an alsa module, but how do i get it? i think a fresh install comes with it, but i lost it somehow [08:40] Rapture: they used to piggy-back (Virtual carrier) but they stopped doing that, and went solo - which was a big mistage [08:40] -- sudo: gdm: command not found [08:40] TheFunkbomb: There was no users in the #kubuntu channel [08:40] Rapture: ^s/mistage/mistake/ [08:40] Titan8990: djdavis75 was trying to helpme get my sound modules back [08:40] jamiejackson, idk how ubuntu does that these days actually, i know it uses pulseaudio instead of alsa [08:40] don't know what to tell you. I hate KDE. [08:40] Blancd01: That's really not good. startx? [08:40] !alsa [08:40] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [08:41] titan: he doesn't but I have all sorts of modules for cards other than mine, but he is missing them [08:41] should i pop the installation disc and try something [08:41] can it copy files to where i need them [08:41] Is it possible to see which processes use the sound output, I'm trying to listen to some music but it won't give audio -> totem said that the output is in use [08:41] djdavis75, like I said, alsa is no longer ubuntu default [08:41] -bash: startx: command not found [08:41] titan: and I can't figure out what package provides those modules [08:41] i think pulseaudio leverages alsa, anyway, Titan8990, no? [08:42] djdavis75, that because you didn't click on the links from the bot [08:42] i mean it leverages alsa *drivers* i think [08:42] jamiejackson, i think it does [08:42] ^^ [08:42] hi [08:42] tuhoojabotti osaatko asentaa vmwaren [08:42] is there a way to copy files from disc to mounted drive [08:42] hello [08:42] what software in ubuntu allows to compare whether 2 images are the same... like those apps..which can compare text files [08:42] djdavis75: there are no packages in the jaunty repos that supply snd_es1370.ko or snd_ens1370 === DaZ| is now known as DaZ [08:42] xdelt [08:42] paav1: miksi?

I know, sad, my iMac is now a paperweight. [08:50] Dday: I don't think the 3.5 beta is available from the repos [08:50] Blancd01, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [08:50] Blancd01, that'll install all the mandatory packages. There's a possibility the installer didn't work out right [08:51] !ppc | joetheodd__, tess [08:51] joetheodd__, tess: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [08:51] ok i tried downloading a game that i played on windows i downloaded it it was installed i tried to play the game but i doesnt work [08:51] Ububegin, md5 [08:51] jamiejackson: I looked in synaptic, that package, linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic contains that module [08:51] !md5 [08:51] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:51] jamiejackson: I would reinstall that package [08:51] lukilla: what is the question? [08:51] Inside my firstboot, I modify /etc/apt/sources.list with echo "deb blablbla" >> /etc/apt/sources.list, after that I'm doing apt-get update, but my entry isn't taken into account, does anyone have an idea why ? [08:51] joetheodd_: there are unofficial PPC ubuntu remixes. i have an original imac with 8.10 (?) installed on it [08:51] do I have to wait a certain time ?

[08:52] !pastebin | jerroome [08:52] How'd you get Ubuntu installed on a PS3, with a Cell processor? That's what's boggling my mind. [08:52] jerroome: 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) [08:52] okay, is that safe, djdavis75? is there anything i need to be careful of for such a core seeming package? [08:52] joetheodd__: you are funny, dude... I dont mean Ubuntu iso image... but "Real Images" like a cat dancing or a dog jumping.... :D [08:52] !details | lukilla [08:52] lukilla: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:52] jamiejackson: I wouldn't think so, you should be able to safely reinstall the package [08:53] thanks a lot for investigating djdavis75, i'll try now [08:53] lukilla: the name of the game will increase your chances enourmously [08:53] *enromously [08:53] jamiejackson: hopefully it will work [08:53] bah.. can't spell today [08:53] my sources.list file isn't corrupt [08:53] Is there a faster way to get support? I can't get any help in the #kubuntu channel or maybe they don't know [08:53] because after reboot, I'm able to use that new repo [08:53] lukilla: there's also #winehq for wine support.. or the application database http://appdb.winehq.org [08:54] Ububegin, oh, lol. Sorry, you stubled upon geek city. The term to us is "picture", or "bitmap" [08:55] i have a problem with maple story im running with ubuntu version 9.04when i try to play maple story i get nothing [08:55] lukilla: ok, have you checked the application database? they har installation instructions, reports about wether other people has got it to work or not etc [08:55] !appdb | lukilla [08:55] lukilla: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [08:56] ok [08:57] joetheodd_ there is a version written for hte ps3 [08:57] here the pastebin link http://paste.ubuntu.com/187195/ [08:57] I'm adding the last line [08:58] but after reboot, it's working [08:58] my repository is also ok [08:58] Blancd01, yes their is [08:59] My ubuntu does not recognises my tv tuner card.........how can I use it [08:59] oreva: what program are u trying to use the tuner card with?

[09:04] Slart: updatedb? [09:04] Rapture: most of them work very well with Ubuntu now. maybe you can take the Eee into the store and ask if they have one you can plug in and check?

[09:06] oreva: I would check at mythtv.org and see if it's supported [09:06] why is anyone advising to use Billware apps on Linux.... [09:06] use Vim - it's very powerful, if you can handle it :) [09:07] djdavis75: that reinstall of the linux image (plus a reboot) seems to have done the trick: i heard the ubuntu greet sound on startup :) [09:07] dsabecky: I can understand using windows apps when there's no native equivalent .. but a text editor? is notepad++ that good? [09:07] Rapture: it's what I did here with 3, they were actually very good - shame I only got a signal in their shop though. [09:07] Slart: It's delicious. [09:07] jamiejackson: cool [09:07] djdavis75, Slart: SciTE is available (which is what notepad++ is based off of), as far as code folding, etc, it's equivalent.

I can't drag windows across, when the mouse goes over, it shows a second pointer. the first pointer stays on the edge of the first screen, th [11:19] e second screen gets a new one. Clicking only affects the 'active' monitor during that. The second issue, is that since installing the driver, all my virtual terminals are blank. No flashing white cursor, just blank.

How did you do that? [11:47] ziroday: i ran through a few online tutorials and whatnot, i believe it had me run a few commands in the terminal [11:47] Randy1: hmm okay, are you using ndiswrapper? [11:47] how to change my nickserv password [11:47] c_nick: ask in #freenode [11:47] ziroday: i have no idea, but the name looks super familiar and i wanna say i am. how do i check? [11:48] ok thanks [11:48] Randy1: could you pastebin lsmod please :) [11:48] Do you know the one I want to help and learn [11:48] Randy1: I have a broadcom wireless card I have had no probs [11:48] !contribute | ms_ [11:48] ms_: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [11:48] yasavy: your computer is probably newer [11:49] hi, someone there knows a great mounting program for linux, like deamon tools for windows. [11:49] ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187286/ [11:49] Slart: i want to make a live usb, that i can make changes on, and then when i install it will take the changes with it to the machine that it is installed upon to make restores easy, is that possible?

[11:50] Randy1: hmm okay, you appear to be using the b43 driver. Do you have the b43-fwcutter package installed? [11:51] ziroday: i dont believe so, where do i obtain it? [11:51] DaveCo: I don't know if you can do it like that.. but I doubt it's impossible...I guess you could almost write a script yourself.. use the information from !clone together with some copying of config files and such [11:51] any ppl can help me? === don is now known as Guest95587 [11:51] Randy1: hmm, I'm not quite certain if you need it [11:51] Slart: thanks [11:51] Randy1: can you do sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter please [11:52] ziroday: sure one second. [11:52] Randy1: and then restart [11:52] ziroday: it said it was already the newest version [11:53] ziroday: 0 upgraded 0 installed and 12 unchanged haha [11:53] Randy1: ah right you already have in installed. Can you pastebin ifconfig -a please [11:53] hi all, im new to samba and im trying to set up a samba share so that i can access it over the internet, i believe my problem is with with smb.conf - http://paste.ubuntu.com/187289/ - I have only added that piece of code to the bottom of the smb.conf should i be adding anything more? [11:54] anyone know if there is a way to fix webcam access on youtube and such sites ? it just holds at the allow access pop up [11:54] ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187290/ [11:54] Randy1: hey, you can try using the proprietary drivers, system -> administration -> hardware drivers? [11:54] ziroday: Hey again, i got a problem with the guide, when i write the first script in Terminal, it says it cant find dictory .. what am i doing wrong here ? [11:54] schone: samba was never designed to be used over the internet, perhaps sshfs or ftp(s)? [11:54] yasavy: i already have the drivers installed [11:55] what path do you give === Darth_Pandora is now known as Pantora === c_nick is now known as flower_t [11:55] schone: why not use webdav? [11:55] jbianquetti, webdav? [11:55] Randy1: hmm okay, can you do iwlist wlan0 scanning === flower_t is now known as c_nick [11:55] what path im giving ? well im not sure, but im using ubuntu 8.10 [11:56] ziroday: it said wlan0 no scan results [11:56] schone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV [11:56] hi all! shall I ask in public chat ? [11:56] basically is http... [11:56] when i write the first script in Terminal --- cant find dictory <--- that path is wrong [11:56] Randy1: hmm === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [11:57] Well, it comes up with this kamikaze@kamikaze-desktop:~$ sudo chmod +x /home/username/mount.sh [11:57] chmod: cannot access `/home/username/mount.sh': No such file or directory [11:57] kamikaze@kamikaze-desktop:~$ [11:57] ziroday: should i try throwing my laptop? [11:57] kamikaze: I doubt there's a user named "username" on your system [11:57] jbianquetti, ziroday : my problem is i need to use a eclipse ide to access xml files to modify/upload them, there is an ftp plugin but it is limited to just browsing through files. Any ideas? [11:58] Randy1: well b43 should "just work" with your card [11:58] username is your username [11:58] kamikaze: and you don't need sudo for the chmod command [11:58] ziroday: possibly an interference from something else is preventing it to scan? [11:59] eg /home/manson/file.txt [11:59] anybody can help me with a jumping audio ? [11:59] ohh .. but it still cant .. it comes up with the same .. cant find thing .. [11:59] Randy1: mm I doubt it, by doing sudo rmmod b43 does ifconfig -a change? Is there a difference between ifconfig and ifconfig -a [11:59] Chousuke: ohh .. but it still cant .. it comes up with the same .. cant find thing .. [11:59] then the file is somewhere else [11:59] schone: maybe this? http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/plugins/eclipse-webdav-ftp.html [12:00] ziroday: i was sure to use iconfig -a. let me run the sudo you gave me [12:00] insmod: What you mena by that, shall i wrtie it in terminal or ? [12:00] Randy1: woops that came out wrong, after doing rmmod b43 does ifconfig -a change? [12:00] ? [12:00] kamikaze: where did you download the file to? [12:00] i ran rmmod b43 and nothing happened [12:01] add place of file [12:01] Randy1: did ifconfig -a change? [12:01] Chousuke: I didnt dowlnoad any file? [12:01] ziroday: what change am i looking for? [12:01] kamikaze: well, where is the mount.sh file then? [12:01] kamikaze: the /home/whatever/mount.sh is a file path, telling where on the disk the file is. [12:01] Randy1: did the wlan0 or wmmaster entries dissapear? [12:01] kamikaze: of course, it actually has to be there for things to work [12:02] ziroday: yeah they did [12:02] kamikaze: the error you get is saying it's not there, so perhaps it's somewhere else. where did you put it? [12:02] cat /home/manson/fart |grep here > /home/manson/files/test [12:02] as an eg [12:02] Randy1: right, and by doing sudo modprobe b43 do they come back? [12:02] Chousuke: So the ISO file i want to mount shall be in the home folder before it would work ? [12:03] kamikaze: um, no. the _mount.sh_ file is missing [12:03] ziroday: yeah they do [12:03] kamikaze: you need to mount an iso file or something? can't you do that in gnome? [12:03] Randy1: and does sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning show anything? [12:03] jbianquetti, thanks i have installed that but it needs a project etc to get started - i only want to edit xml files with a plugin (pentaho design studio) ... [12:03] why do you want mount.sh? if cd .. then ls |grep mount.sh is it there [12:04] Chousuke: Ohh... i think i just need to get the ISO file, i thought it was scripts i was installing by this, but now i know what to do when the iso file is on my Home :) [12:04] ziroday: wlan0 No scan results [12:04] We have a surveillance system which is recording x264 video files with .dvr extension. how can i play or convert these files on ubuntu? Ubuntu claims that these files are application/x-font-ttf [12:04] Randy1: bah, I have no idea. That card should just work. Tried a reinstall? [12:04] kamikaze: er, how does the .iso file matter? isn't your error with the mount.sh file? [12:04] insmod: i need to mount a ISO file, but i will figure it out, thanks so much for your help :) [12:04] ziroday: this is my second time haha [12:05] Randy1: I am sry if i am interrupting but have you tried wicd instead of network-manager? [12:05] thats easy [12:05] Chousuke: yes cause the ISO file isnt on my computer yet. [12:05] kamikaze: you can do just "mount -oloop -tiso9660 file.iso /directory/to/mount/to" [12:05] yasavy: nope i have not, do explain? [12:05] Chousuke: Can i mount my ISO file just by writing that ?? [12:05] don't loop if it's not ftp [12:05] yasasvy: *yasasvy sorry about the name mess up [12:05] Randy1: sudo apt-get install wicd [12:05] yes [12:05] insmod: you need loop for .iso files :/ [12:06] yasasvy: its removing and installing a few things [12:06] ok [12:06] i don't think so loop is for a dir structure -- eg to mount a dir that can be accessed on ftp [12:06] i have some files like /etc/passwd- and /etc/group (with the dashes at the end). is this normal? [12:07] i don't think it hurts but not ness [12:07] backups [12:07] Randy1: after it is done applications-> internet -> wicd [12:07] insmod: Alright, didnt kno that, so i just need to write : mount -oloop -tiso9660 SIMS3.iso /directory/to/mount/to/home. ? [12:07] insmod, not the ~, a -. is that still normal? [12:07] they have been writen to and that is the old file [12:08] yasasvy: all done [12:08] it would be from an editor < not comin [12:09] Randy1: after it is done applications-> internet -> wicd [12:09] insmod [12:09] insmod: I think loop is necessary for iso files. === driftwood_ is now known as driftwood [12:09] yasasvy: no wireless networks detected [12:09] insmod: thanks. for a second i thought my system was compromised [12:09] insmod: the loop device makes the file appear as if it were a block device. [12:10] Randy1: ok. [12:10] yasasvy: i know im in range too, my G1 can pick it up [12:11] Randy1: were u able to connect using a LAN cable? [12:11] yasasvy: you mean through an ethernet cord? [12:12] that should be default -- hmm maybe no longer [12:12] Randy1: yes [12:13] yasasvy: yeah i can get an ethernet connection [12:13] ysasvy: thats why i can talk now [12:15] Randy1: just to make sure. right click on the network-manager applet.. and see of enable wireless is checked?? [12:17] yasasvy: what exactly am i clicking? [12:17] hhhhhhhiii [12:18] ms_: Do you have a support question? Or are you just going to keep on saying hi like that? If you're just looking to chat, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic [12:19] Randy1: the network manager applet.. it should be in the notification area.. beside the power button and volume control [12:21] yasasvy: it says enable networking, and that box is checked [12:22] WHAT ARE TRING TO DO [12:22] sorry caps [12:23] insmod: my wireless card wont scan! nobody can get it to work, so yasasvy had me install a new network manager [12:23] eek [12:23] insmod: any ideas? [12:23] what does iwconfig say [12:24] and ifconfig [12:24] insmod: heres iwconfig http://paste.ubuntu.com/187310/ [12:24] i will get it going in a sec [12:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/187311/ [12:26] I have installed squid and squidGuard, now problem is that when I try to access https site it works fine, but when I block https site I get proxy server refuses connection error on firefox [12:26] insmod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187311/ [12:26] insmod: thats the iconfig [12:27] great and what does iwconfig wlan0 essid cat say [12:27] hi all [12:27] hi all [12:27] how to remove last gnome panel? im using ubuntu JJ [12:28] stratovarius: just right click, then remove panel ? [12:28] insmod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187313/ [12:28] forceflow, this way doesnt work for last panel... [12:29] that's the answer [12:29] insmod: i dont speak code, im new to ubuntu haha, so what is the answer? [12:29] stratovarius: Why do you say that? [12:30] your not root [12:30] Randy1: add sudo [12:30] insmod, yasasvy: how do i root and sudo what? [12:30] sudo iwlist scan wlan0 [12:31] Randy1: sudo is the better equivalent of Windows's annoying UAC. [12:31] silly-rabbit, there are 2 panels in gnome desktop...one of both can be deleted throw "right click, then remove panel" ... the other one can be deleted in this way cuz "Remove panel" is hide, cant click on it ... [12:31] !sudo | Randy1 [12:31] Randy1: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [12:31] what is windows - i have read about just never did it [12:31] silly-rabbit, *cant be deleted in this way [12:31] i know what sudo is! haha i meant me didnt put a code in front of sudo, so i mean as in to continue it, sudo, what? get it? [12:32] sudo iwlist scan wlan0 [12:32] O_O [12:32] trust me [12:32] stratovarius: Meh. I'm not using Ubuntu at the moment. I think you need to click on the panel, not the applets that are near the panel. [12:32] insmod: it had a problem, it says iwlist: unknown command `wlan0' (check 'iwlist --help'). when running iwlist scan wlan0 [12:32] === yacc__ is now known as yacc [12:33] then add it to /etc/network/interfaces [12:33] insmod: im so sorry but i dont know how to do that. [12:33] or try ifconfig up wlan0 [12:33] insmod: you gave him the incorrect syntax for the iwlist command. It should be sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning [12:33] insmod: and his ifconfig already said wlan0 is up [12:34] insmod: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up ? [12:34] [help]Ubuntu 8.04 RTL8111C net is not working,thanks [12:34] silly-rabbit, if I right click on last panel can't click on "remove this panel"...i knew I gotta modify something in gcconf-editor for removing last panel but i dont remember what to modify [12:34] scan works as well\ [12:35] insmod: should i still run ifconfig up wlan0? [12:35] ziroday: You using Gnome? [12:35] try it but i thnk you are missing a pacage [12:36] stratovarius: What are you using to replace the Gnome Panels? [12:36] what does cat /etc/network/interfaces say [12:36] silly-rabbit: yes? [12:36] silly-rabbit, cairo-dock [12:36] insmod: it said wlan0: unknown host [12:37] ziroday: Does Ubuntu prevent the last gnome-panel from being removed? [12:37] what does cat /etc/network/interfaces say [12:37] silly-rabbit: yes, you need to stop the gnome-panel procoess [12:37] I'm installing ubuntu from the alternate cd in order to get everything encrypted with LVM. When I make a swap partition, should I configure it so that it's used as a swap area or as a physical volume for encryption? I want everything (except for /boot) encrypted. [12:37] stratovarius: Apparently you're right. I see something in the site. [12:37] auto lo [12:37] iface lo inet loopback [12:37] stratovarius: See what ziroday say. killall gnome-panel ? [12:37] what does ifconfig wlan0 up say [12:38] voyagi: AFAIK you can't have swap encrypted, there is feature for that yet [12:38] i know the answer [12:38] ziroday: Really? [12:38] silly-rabbit, =) ... i already removed last panel...I got to help a friend of mine to remove it but im not able to find the "how to" i followed =( [12:38] you never edited the /etc/network/interfaces [12:38] how do I swap gcc for gcc-4.1? [12:38] some weird name then PERMISSION DENIED [12:38] voyagi: really really :), I do believe its being looked at for karmic. If you're really worried about it you don't have to have a swap partition [12:38] stratovarius: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=ubuntu%2C+remove+the+last+panel [12:39] insmod: some weird name then PERMISSION DENIED [12:39] <|ntegra|> I'm halfway through installing a set of icons/theme(gnome) ,, where are the icons? [12:39] silly-rabbit, tnx a lot...i gonna read =) [12:39] *im [12:39] <|ntegra|> sorry ,, where are the icons going to go? [12:39] some gui do it i never use gui so i can only say edit /etc/network/interfaces [12:39] ziroday: If I have 2 gb RAM, it wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have a swap? [12:40] |ntegra|: ~/.icons or /usr/share/icons [12:40] insmod: so what do i gotta do? [12:40] <|ntegra|> oh ok, I'll just hava look [12:40] voyagi: that depends on your computing needs :), you can create a swap partition and have it turned off by default [12:40] you have to tell it the intefaces [12:40] ziroday: Jaunty's alternative disc (encryption feature) doesn't encrypt swap? I thought it does... All but boot ? [12:40] <|ntegra|> ziroday: nice name [12:40] ziroday: So how do I turn it off later? [12:40] what do you like as an editor [12:40] |ntegra|: thanks :) [12:40] insmod: i have no clue how to do it, would you mind running me through that? [12:40] i like mcedit [12:40] ziroday: I mean turn it on later? [12:40] silly-rabbit, thanx a lot ... it seems the "how to" i followed =) [12:40] silly-rabbit: AFAIK it can't encrypt swap [12:41] insmod: im completely new to linux [12:41] stratovarius: Welcome! :) === wet is now known as wet-chan [12:41] insmod: ive had it for about 2 weeks, and this is my first time on irc =p haha [12:41] <|ntegra|> ziroday: gotit man thanx [12:41] this is my 13th yr [12:41] voyagi: well you will create a swap partition now, and then after you've installed you'll comment out the swap partition in /etc/fstab or use the swapoff command. When you need it again you can use swapon command [12:42] ziroday: Thanks === leachim6 is now known as Guest72340 === Guest72340 is now known as leachim6 [12:42] beuhar [12:42] voyagi: have fun! [12:42] insmod: haha well i only hope to be as good as you in my 13th year, so what do i have to do to edit the network interfaceds? [12:43] what editor do you like [12:43] insmod: Give him the gksudo gedit? The GUI one? :o [12:43] insmod: any editor will do really because i have no preference. [12:43] Now the alternate installation complains because I don't have any root-partition and I can't define the partitions that are going to be encrypted as root [12:43] what gui do you use _ i like fluxbox [12:44] Sorry, I found the "Configure encypted volumes"-thing now [12:44] voyagi: There is a guided encryption partitioning ? [12:44] silly-rabbit: Yes, now I see ;) [12:44] insmod: i dont understand the question [12:44] ziroday: The partition program tells that you can encrypt a swap space [12:44] anyway sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [12:45] silly-rabbit: Guided programs are for lamers :P [12:45] <_L3o0_> I receive a msg "There is no support for this operation" when i try to connect a FTP server.. any1 know why?

[12:58] insmod: re-read it, no wireless networks. haha none. maybe we should run the config commands again to see if i entered the code right [12:58] I downloaded an md5 file [12:58] nope it means there is non there [12:58] silly-rabbit: Well than it just should be like this : sudo mount -o loop rld-sim3.iso desktop but it aint, it aint workin, what im doing wrong ?

[12:59] it seemed alright [12:59] !minimal | wwwalker [12:59] wwwalker: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:59] silly-rabbit: thats the whole problem those guys started messing with my files , i have no clue whats going on so isnt there a way ? [12:59] wwwalker: isn't there an ubuntu version specially for eee [12:59] !eee [12:59] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [12:59] kamikaze: You need to create a mount folder. [13:00] that would be nice [13:00] Rods_Tiger: no such thing. Its either right or wrong [13:00] insmod: iwlist: unknown command [13:00] kamikaze: We'll use desktop for temp. Okay? === nicolas_ is now known as Guest69208 [13:00] kamikaze: mkdir ~/Desktop/Oven [13:00] thanks for the help guys [13:00] it worked :) [13:01] kamikaze: There are a 'Oven' folder on your Desktop now, right? [13:01] err [13:01] i'd have one more question tho, how can i make OpenGL work, if this ati thingy made it only worse? [13:01] insmod: i think when you had me edit that network thing, i may have done it wrong somehow. [13:01] voodo: you need the correct driver [13:01] this is the only driver i could find :( [13:01] silly-rabbit: yes there is :) [13:02] kamikaze: Right. Now we need a place to put the ISO in. In this case, we're going to put ISO in Oven. --> sudo mount -o loop rld-sum3.iso ~/Desktop/Oven [13:02] no you don't have pakage [13:02] insmod: how do i get package? [13:03] kamikaze: Generally, we'll put it in /media/ --> or /mnt/ but I can't check it myself because I'm on friend's Vista laptop. Curse me. :( [13:03] voodo: can you give the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [13:03] silly-rabbit: hehe okay :D ... well it came up with this.. kamikaze@kamikaze-desktop:~$ sudo mount -o loop rld-sim3.iso [13:03] mount: can't find rld-sim3.iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [13:03] 1 sec [13:03] ok, last question, honestly, im using ubuntu 9.04, 64 bit version with AMD64 processor [13:03] insmod: ok [13:04] the linux x86_64 driver, is good for me or not :) [13:04] voodo: yes thats the one you want, if you are using 64bit Linux [13:04] since last night everytime i switch on transmission the laptop is hanging after 10 -15 secs of use [13:04] kamikaze: Where is the ISO at? [13:04] hi folks. anyone any good with video playback issues? [13:04] voodo: you can check with uname -a [13:04] programs stop responding slowly and eventually i have to hard reboot [13:05] voodo: if you see x86_64 its 64bit, if you see i686 its 32bit [13:05] ye it is, i was just confused of the 86 part :) [13:05] marquis-boy: what version ubuntu do you have? [13:05] that's it [13:05] and whats with 386 [13:05] insmod: whatcha got for me? [13:05] voodo: its because 64bit chips can run 32bit apps [13:05] oh ok i see [13:05] Randy1 - 8.04 [13:05] voodo: 386 is very basic but will work on any cpu [13:05] thanks and sorry for the stupid questions :) [13:05] i got a hp scanner here with a document tray, so this can do batch jobs but sane doesn't seem to can do this, anyone know a solution? [13:05] silly-rabbit: it was in my home folder but i have just moved it to my desktop :) [13:05] Randy1 - 8.04 AMD64 [13:05] voodo: no worries man, they are all intelligent questions [13:06] marquis-boy: google it, there are plenty of forums discussing it, its usually a simple run through and installation of a few programs. [13:06] nah im just kinda new to linux, but i like it so far, only bad thing in it is the slow flash playing and thats it [13:06] kamikaze: As long as the terminal is in the current path of your ISO or you can specify where the ISO is --> sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/rld-sum3.iso ~/Desktop/Oven [13:06] sudo apt-get install wireless-tools [13:06] marquis-boy: im assuming you meant video playback on the internet? [13:06] insmod: its running it now [13:07] voodo: you may want to tab complete my name at the start of lines so it highlights (like i am doing for you) [13:07] insmod: its already in its latest version [13:07] Randy1 - nope. I installed Diablo 2 under wine, and since then VLC exits on playing back any video. Mplayer plays the audio but stutters and throws up some error. I think installing D2 changed some codec or setting, somethign to do with open GL [13:07] ActionParsnip1: okey [13:07] ? [13:07] marquis-boy: well ask one of the experts in here, god knows they're good enough [13:08] kamikaze: Everything okay? ;o [13:08] voodo: thats the way :) [13:08] insmod: well it says i already have it [13:08] hello [13:08] Is there an alternative to windows movie maker?

Your driver isn't loaded. [13:41] areels1: many players support plugins for stereo expansion, compression, 3d reverb and such.. I have no idea what windows media player does with the sound but I doubt it's just "correcting" it.. [13:41] hi guys ! I lost my System->Preferences->Session menu ( or i did not even got it :O ) how can i restore it ??? [13:41] is there any way to check if ubuntu supports a certain printer? Ho Colour laserjet CP2025n :s [13:41] tiyowan: how do you know? i already installed the driver. what do you mean it isnt 'loaded'? [13:42] AdvoWork: look at linuxprinting.org [13:42] Randy1: The results of lsmod shows that no wireless driver is being used. [13:42] Randy1: How did you install the driver? [13:43] tiyowan: i ran through some online tutorials. [13:43] how do you open gconf-editor [13:43] so, I have an interesting issue... X is hardlocking my machine after an upgrade to 9.04 [13:43] Myrtti: did you get that ? [13:43] subutux: i'm now trying vlc and audacious they're clearly different [13:43] vlc seems better hmm [13:44] Randy1: Hmmm...could you put up a link to what you did? [13:44] can anyone tell me how to open gconf-editor [13:44] LoneWlf: what card?? [13:44] tiyowan: it was a while ago, i have no memory. [13:44] Mow: start a terminal.. type gconf-editor Tadaaa! =) [13:44] Mow: yes, type gconf-editor in a terminal [13:44] * shadeslayer hopes its not an intel [13:44] Also I wish to know if you can get all docs, images, music etc you have on Vista and transfer to Ubuntu if I was to use this full stop??? [13:44] Slart: disabling dpms with `xset -dpms` solved the problem, in a way, but now the gnome power manager won't shut it off after its configured time either [13:44] tiyowan: it was a forum or something, and it had boxes to copy the code and such [13:45] comparing with eq off, that gives plain sound i gues [13:45] areels1: ok vlc is a special one, it uses its on libs [13:45] oh ok I thought it was supose to be in the aplicatoins menu or something thanks [13:45] subutux: then i'm looking for different libs [13:45] tiyowan: an irc user insmod just did some work with me, maybe what work he did with me made my driver unload? [13:45] hi all im trying to install the java jre from terminal but i keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/187357/ - i have no idea why this is occuring?

Hang on a moment - I'm checking the forums to find out the proper way to get that card working. [13:46] sjokkis: hmm... that's not really a good solution then.. I'm still googling around.. haven't found anything useful so far [13:46] vlc has skins? oh [13:46] leestables: I will not answer to your pm. Ask your questions here. I'm also having my long overdue lunch in between a lull in my workday, so I'm not available to your all questions. [13:46] Slart: is it correct that the power manager changes the dpms settings based on whether you're on ac or battery power? [13:46] Slart: wouldn't that indicate that it isn't doing that? [13:47] Randy1: Do you ever remember typing: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter? [13:47] Myrtti: sorry [13:47] nobody ? [13:47] sjokkis: I don't know enough about what is happening behind the scenes to answer that.. sorry [13:47] k [13:47] apart from myrtti anyone else wanna help me on my issues... ??? === ghjfg is now known as cew_sexy [13:47] tiyowan: the b43 is very familiar, i may have with the last guy, should i try installing it anyways?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:48] and any idea how can i play .dvr files ? .dvr is an extension of survelliance recorder software [13:49] leestables: if I tell you to get an output of few commands and put them in a pastebin, could you do that? [13:49] areels1: amarok has a sweet UI [13:49] tiyowan: yeah i have it [13:49] areels1: run "file blabla.dvr" on one of the files.. see what it says [13:49] I need help with a video game.

[14:27] Randy1: Everything seems to be all right. 9.04 uses the newer b43 package, and that supports your card. Have you tried rebooting? [14:27] Pici: ntpd is not very big problem, but I want to know how to manage such things (I know I have to be careful coz many things are kind of advanced settings) [14:27] alguem pode me ajudar com uma rede que não segura a configuração no Ubuntu [14:27] vga=771 switch doesnt work [14:28] tiyowan: just to make everything clear, rebooting means to just restart the computer correct? [14:28] Randy1: Yeah. [14:28] tiyowan: i havent tried rebooting since you gave me the new commands, shall i try it? [14:28] augustowebd: I don't know.

Tried gparted [14:31] it's normal [14:31] mmm4m5m: Its not running here for me, but this is a server, and I've modified my services in the past. [14:31] vendors count 1GB as 8000000000 bytes [14:32] jawa: Some space gets used for the partition tables and other inside fs stuff [14:32] I see [14:32] Ubuntu is awesome.

I remember, some program told "ntp required"... now if I mark for uninstall, it does not ask to remove other programs. Anyway, will leave it as is. So "Services settings" is the correct place where I have to manage such things? [14:32] hi [14:32] @jawa count: 2*1024^3 - 8000000000 [14:33] jawa: 8GB sounds better in marketing.

[15:07] JediMaster: ok? [15:07] hi, is anyone here from menlo college? [15:07] dani__: empathy uses pretty much the same stuff for connecting to msn network as pidgin does, so it wouldn't support webcam for msn - perhaps for google talk, but not msn [15:07] SirStan: would do if the server wasn't 150 miles away [15:07] SirStan and no remote KVM === sammy is now known as Guest36488 [15:08] JediMaster: then I suggest you buy a new dedicated server and jettison the old.

[15:09] but it's my very last option [15:09] SirStan: not actually sure what brand it is [15:10] markku: have you tried asking your question in #ubuntu-fi? [15:10] markku, System > Preferences > Preferred Applications [15:10] JediMaster: well if it isnt responsive to any commands.. im not sure what else you think we can suggest. [15:10] v3ctor: I think the problem is that there's also video encoding going on at the same time (mencoder) but the trouble is I can't kill any processes as it just takes too long [15:10] Myrtti: okay... Lack of webcam isn't the worst problem, but that it constantly keeps disconnecting, and many of my messages are sent in return with a delivery failure notice. That is the number uno reason I can't stand using aMSN anymore. [15:10] Myrtti: pidgin also disconnects more than it should btw. === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [15:11] dani__: have you considered that the error might be with the network, not the client? [15:11] dani__: I never get msn disconnects in pidgin/amsn [15:12] Has anyone used the AWUS036H drivers using ndiswrapper with 9.04? [15:13] Myrtti: not impossible. I'm wireless connected, but it doesn't happen when I switch to Windows on the same comp. [15:13] Hello, I came on here wondering if anyone could understand my problem. Whenever gdm loads at the login screen, the login screen constantly restarts (Maybe all of gdm?). I don't get chance to login or anything. I tried to load kdm instead (I changed the default display manager). Kdm doesn't load. [15:13] dani__: i use pidgin for msn, never had an issue [15:13] I used gparted to convert my fat32 disk to ntfs. the conversion took about 3 seconds and was successful, but now my whole disk is empty. is there a way to restore the filetable? [15:14] RomD: .. why on earth did you use gparted to do that [15:14] RomD: and .. why on earth were you playing with partition tools without a full backup [15:14] SirStan: because I considered it a good tool [15:14] RomD: what made you think that *converting* would be anything else than reformatting it - thus erasing the partition? [15:14] guyman, SirStan: its probably the wireles connection here in ubuntu then. It must be related to ubuntu, because it works fine in Windows on this same computer [15:14] SirStan: my life doesn't depend on the files, but it would be nice to have them back [15:15] dani__: Does your wireless connection disconnect or Pidgin? [15:15] Myrtti: because I converted countless fat32 disks to ntfs on windows without problems [15:15] RomD: Converted? [15:16] tiyowan: well change the file system [15:16] Change the file system != converted [15:16] * tiyowan sighs. [15:16] Pranka, pidgin disconnects and reconnects several times/hour. Probably it's because of the wireless connection which probably keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. [15:16] dani__: so the problem is in the wireless, not the clients - what wifi adapter do you have? [15:16] dani__: I had the same problem, but that's because of the Wireless connection, not Pidgin. [15:16] does networking come up before drives are mounted (e.g. disk checks)? [15:17] as I can ping the machine after a hard reset, but no ssh yet [15:17] JediMaster: traditionally yes [15:17] nm, it's come up now, 4 minutes instead of the normal 45 sec reboot [15:17] RomD: gparted only has menu options for "format to".. but that's a bit besides the point.. you can try.. testdisk.. to see if you can recover the parttiion.. or photorec to recover files [15:18] maybe can someone explain to my why pulseaudio sucks so much? alsa ftw. [15:18] Myrtti, 01:06.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g [15:18] tehboriz: this is support channel, not general "this sux, tell me why"-channel [15:18] Pranka, how did you make your wireless connection stable ? [15:18] tehboriz: pulseaudio and alsa isn't alternatives to each other [15:18] dani__: By sitting next to it. [15:18] RaLink? Thats a good quality adapter. [15:18] all: I have a problem with atp-get, because can't connect to security.ubuntu.com, the server it's gutsy (7.10). Any idea [15:18] Myrtti: maybe i'm doing it wrong... because nothing works with pulseaudio [15:19] !7.10 [15:19] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [15:19] diamadiaz: see that "end of life" date? that means the repos will close and so on [15:19] Slart_: how come every linux installation i have to change all the config files to alsa to make flash sound work? [15:20] Slart_: yeah right, guess I didn't quite pay attention to what it actually said and just assumed that it did the right thing. I tried those tools, but I hoped for an easier solution. I'll check if testdisk manages to restore the partition. [15:20] seriously it can't be that hard, i see some quality programming in my kubuntu, but flash just kills the mood [15:20] Pranka, by moving your comp close to the router? [15:20] tehboriz: Thats not an alsa/pulse thing.. thats a flash on linux sux thing === jonathaN- is now known as jonathaN [15:20] dani__: I'm using a laptop, so in order to keep a stable connection, I had to move closer to the wireless router. [15:20] Hi all. Question: I'd like to run a script whenever I plug my TV into my computer. How do I go about this?

I had issues installing it via Eclipse software update and was wondering if others have too. [15:20] graelin: imho should be preconfigured :) but good answer [15:21] em...the italian chan? :) [15:21] Is that an event that's published somewhere (dbus?), or do I poll, or... what? [15:21] is there a boot flag to suppress IPv6? [15:21] tehboriz: I don't know.. was I supposed to? [15:21] Pranka, alrigt, I use a desktop. And it shouldnt be neccessary to move it either, because the connection is stable in Windows on this comp. [15:21] [15:21] Pranka, unless Windows has better networking than ubuntu. [15:21] diamadiaz: yes? [15:21] dani__: it does. we are sorry. [15:21] : Where i see this? [15:21] Quick (I hope) question. I have a live server (that I did not set up) that I have only remote (SSH) access to. I want to make an image of this server that I can install to a local dev system so that everything is matched up. How can I accomplish this? [15:21] dani__: I doubt that's the case. [15:21] !7.10 | diamadiaz [15:21] diamadiaz: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [15:22] S33PlusPlus: suppress ipv6 where? If "everywhere", I'd guess not... [15:22] here4thegear: We use clonezilla live at my workplace. I've been pretty satisfied with it. [15:22] S33PlusPlus, not yet, I believe it is coming in 2.6.29 [15:22] nvm Slart_ i guess i should give arch a try later [15:22] not "everywhere". Just on a single interface. [15:23] here4thegear: Oh but you are talking about without unbooting the server [15:23] Since, I doubt anyone will ever be able to fix my problem, how can I load into a display manager from a console, properly. Maybe I don't understand how to do it with kdm. [15:23] : ok, this mean that i need update the release?? [15:23] diamadiaz: if you want updates, yes [15:23] OEP: Correct. There is no traffic to the server at this point, either. [15:23] diamadiaz, just upgrade to 8.04 === sammy is now known as Guest18726 [15:24] here4thegear: perhaps you could disk dump (command is 'dd') an image [15:24] OEP: thanks, I will check that out. [15:25] here4thegear, you would have to dump to another hard drive on the syste [15:25] system* [15:25] so, i've been trying to install ubuntu through FAI, but i have come across numerous rather troubling errors [15:25] whar is aircrack? [15:25] you can dump over network [15:25] does anyone here happen to have ubuntu installing with FAI? Jaunty is the only kernel i know of that will boot [15:25] : ok, how can change the release with out reinstall Ubuntu? [15:25] I really don't want to have to use debian again because my users get quite confused with 'iceweasel' [15:26] OEP, true, though it would be significantly slower [15:26] i have already compiled a package from source, can i apply a patch to it still? [15:26] dsdeiz: no [15:26] dsdeiz, no, patch and recompile [15:26] diamadiaz: you need to replace your upgrade servers in /etc/apt/sources.lst with old-releases.ubuntu.com .. then follow the howto you get by typing !upgrade === IRConan_ is now known as IRConan [15:26] oh, how can i recompile? [15:27] are there specific instructions? [15:27] cabrey: OEP: Great I will keep that in mind. Also, I know my server is an ubuntu server, which I'm new to (comming off of using centos). Since I didn't install it, is there an easy way to find the version and build of ubuntu that I have? [15:27] or do i simply just compile it again? [15:27] Slart_: ok, thanks a lot!!! Bye bye [15:27] here4thegear, cat /etc/lsb-release [15:27] how do i determine the filesystem of a partition? [15:27] without checking /etc/fstab [15:27] cabrey: oerfect [15:27] er perfect [15:27] lol [15:28] jonathanrwallace: what are you trying to accomplish? [15:28] Winkie: channel #fai on irc.oftc.net [15:28] jonathanrwallace: fdisk -l... gparted.. lots of tools to do it [15:28] hi, i have a problem with vlans. on 8.10 they work and are displayed with ifconfig on 9.04 they didn't show up. any ideas? [15:28] Winkie: i'm writing an init.d script to setup a swap file on an amazone EC2 AMI [15:28] thanks everyone... snuck some dayjob time to come in, so, I have to get going, but thanks so much for the help, it is much appreciated. [15:29] i don't want the swap file to be in the AMI as it makes the AMI too large [15:29] Slart_: thx [15:29] v3ctor: i'll pop along, i'm expecting this not to work at all though :( [15:29] Hi, I compiled Alsa on my own. So if I need to get back the old Alsa, do I just reinstall it from Synaptic? [15:29] if i configure a ip address they show but i didn't need any ip configurations as i just use them for vmware-server [15:30] Aryaan: I think you would have to remove your own alsa too [15:30] And how do I do that? Please tell me [15:30] Aryaan: well.. that's something you need to check the documentation for..sometimes sudo make uninstall works.. [15:31] Aryaan, sudo make uninstall in your directory but i think if you install from synaptic it will overwrite anny current files [15:31] !checkinstall | Aryaan [15:31] Aryaan: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [15:31] Okay, thanks guys. And do anyone know a fix for the sound problem with Ati Sb400 cards? [15:31] .

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:51] what's a PPA?

See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [15:51] heh. I love seeing that. [15:51] hello!

I'm using an i7 but .deb files say wrong architecture [15:57] !chroot | tehboriz [15:57] tehboriz: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [15:57] hi, i have a problem with vlans. on 8.10 they work and are displayed with ifconfig on 9.04 they didn't show up. any ideas?

[16:28] jj_, are you writing a script? [16:28] cabrey: it's not ubuntu-server it's ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty [16:29] jj_: you can try this in bash: $PATH=$PATH:/your folder [16:29] joining [16:29] yes i compiled a program which it needs another program which installed but i guess not in the normal path [16:29] ah [16:29] jj_, do you know where the program is supposed to be?

[16:35] cabrey, and i installed that and trying to compile the source it could not locate the openscenegraph it stated may be in a different path [16:36] jj_, do you know where openscenegraph needs to be?

Set up port forward on your router that will lead port 2222 to your IP machine. and when you want a certain device, you just do ssh -p 2222 felix@ [16:38] felix_: And you want to ssh into another machine, ssh -p 2241 felix@ [16:38] Guys: Bash is ignoring a .bin file I'm trying to run. It says no such file or directory. What's the deal? [16:38] felix_: The router will know which devices to pass the port to... based on port number.

[16:40] cabrey, thanks for taking the time [16:40] jj_, ah well just create a symlink to openscenegraph where your sim program is expecting it to be [16:40] felix_: Just set up port forward. It'll listen on a certain port number. It does not mean you're opening the ports. [16:40] do i set these flags after ./configure ? [16:40] the link ... [16:41] cabrey never used flags before ha [16:41] jj_, only do ./configure --prefix=/opt [16:41] felix_: Were you able to test your ssh from external yet? [16:41] cabrey then it will prompt me?

Otherwise, it falls back to wlan0 (wireless). I think nm-applet allows you to toggle both on -- only that you'll see eth0 (wired icon) displaying on your panel?

[16:54] te_: ah.. ok i think it's ok now, thanks ~ [16:55] te_: thanks a lot :) [16:56] mobi-sheep: network manager doesn't detect it when it's plugged in.I usually have to disable network manager, and then ifconfic eth0 192.168.0.1, and then ifconfig eth0 up [16:56] i need a multi-protocol client alternative to pidgin [16:57] (The laptop is a mac, and once I set it up it automatically detects it now when the ubuntu computer is set up) [16:57] cridit88, first.. it didnt work with thinkpad r51e. then i had to set up alsa in all the configs, mute the headphone "sense" and surround - then it used to intermittently break and emit a high pitched sound (especially in flashplayer) [16:57] Does anyone know how to change your mouse cursor? I googled it and someone said "The 2D graphics tuturial shows you how to change the cursor. Basically you make it invisible then grab its position and put an image there." but where's the 2d graphics tutorial? [16:57] semitones: Err. I wouldn't know if using a mac would affect Ubuntu.

[17:02] luke_c: no [17:02] luke_c: no, just install ubuntu [17:02] >_>; [17:02] luke_c: grub is in ubuntu [17:02] luke_c: when you install Ubuntu from the CD, at the end of that proccess you put on Grub [17:02] Ah [17:02] Hello, one of my servers crashed after kswapd was fired up. Cold reboot and everything seems okay. Now i get "file not recognized: File format not recognized collect2: ld returned 1 exit status" errors everywhere.

[17:03] if I'm setting up a manual connection, what should I use for the netmask? 255.255.0.0? [17:03] * mephx is desperate [17:03] luke_c: if you go to advanced options you can choose where to put it, but by default it will go on the MBR of your Vista hard disk [17:03] luke_c: really Grub should be in the MBR of the first/primary hard disk [17:03] semitones: it depends on ur network [17:03] semitones: what IP range your network uses [17:03] I want Vista to be the primary hdd [17:03] semitones: I believe "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" is sufficient. You might want to test it. [17:04] luke_c: only thing with that though, is if you ever re install Vista, it will go over Grub, but it's not that hard to restore Grub [17:04] SandGorgon, i don't think alsa mixer is working correctly, it's not showing my sound card [17:04] hi! can someone confirm that a default install of ubuntu 8.04 sets the clock using ntp if the network is available at boot time? [17:04] djdavis75: one computer is 192.168.0.1, and the other computer is 192.168.0.2.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [17:04] semitones: probably 255.255.255.0 then [17:05] mobi-sheep: but if I do it that way I have to disable wifi, or else network manager will reset the ethernet network [17:05] !grub [17:05] nonono, better ask this question in #kernel or #linux [17:05] djdavis75: thanks [17:05] O_o [17:05] my ip address is 255.255.255.0 ;-) [17:05] semitones: Generally your eth0 and wlan0 each have their own IP to work with. [17:06] Right, i'll go do it now, i'll tell you the results later ;P [17:06] luke_c: install vista first [17:06] Vista is installe [17:06] !dualboot | luke_c [17:06] luke_c: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [17:06] mobi-sheep: yeah, my wifi ip is 192.168.1.something and wired is 192.168.0.1 [17:06] luke_c: then install ubuntu, put grub on hd0 [17:06] luke_c: if your resizing the partition, you need to let Vista resize itself really, or dataloss might happen [17:07] Is a USB-to-PS/2 adapter with a mouse symbol on it with a keyboard instead? I can't try it, but I've ordered a USB keyboard. [17:07] djdavis75, How would i put grub on hd0? [17:07] <``y7> how can i choose whether i want to use eth0 or eth1 when i ping something? [17:07] mobi-sheep: but unless I disable nm, "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" doesn't work. I think you can't mix the manual and automatic configs [17:07] semitones: If you have a router, then your router's IP is 192.168.0.1 too. [17:07] luke_c: oh yeah you said a second hard disk, nevermind [17:07] Hello guys, can someone give me some help with OpenGL apps on Jaunty with a radeon x700 (more specifically Google Earth)? [17:07] yeah, seperate internal [17:07] Uh, grammar failure. Let's try again: Can I a USB-to-PS/2 adapter with a mouse symbol on it with a keyboard instead? [17:07] mobi-sheep: I don't have a router for the eth network -- the mac acts as router somehow, but it works [17:08] Can I USE a... crud, what's wrong with me today [17:08] luke_c: check out the links above, somewhere during the install there is an advanced button or something, it asks where to install grub, it should be hd0, i think it will default to that anyway, but might check it [17:08] Hi guys, If I want to install windows AFTER a Ubuntu 8.10 install. Do I have to backup grub or can I just use grub install? [17:08] Right. [17:08] nowth: no, not the little one that comes with some USB mice [17:08] redalert: why do you want to put Windows on? [17:08] Sword of the stars [17:08] semitones: As long as you know the commands, you can put them in a script and add it to Startup Applicaitons so you wouldn't have to do this manually every time. That help? [17:08] nowth: they do make usb to ps/2 adapters for both keyboards and mice however [17:08] redalert: when you put Windows on, it will go over Grub [17:08] ok [17:09] I know that [17:09] redalert: Unless I'm mistaken, Windows needs to be the first installed OS [17:09] jtaji: Ok, then I guess I'll have to go shopping today after all. [17:09] but do I need to backup my existing grub [17:09] Install Inside Windows, should i choose this install method or demo and Full Installation [17:09] or can I just use a new install [17:09] redalert: Windows does not play nice with other OS's, once Grub has been overwrittne well the part in the MBR, you can restore Grub [17:09] !grub | redalert [17:09] redalert: 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 [17:09] mobi-sheep: yeah that's a good idea, but the scripts don't work as long as nm is on for some reason [17:09] redalert: there are many ways to reinstall grub afterwards, as long as you can boot into some kind of linux. Backing up your current grub and restoring it works, and so does reinstalling, see also ubottu's !grub factoid [17:09] <``y7> how can i choose whether i want to use eth0 or eth1 when i ping something? [17:09] YAY :D [17:09] thanks [17:10] ``y7: depends on how routes are configured, I'm pretty sure [17:10] redalert: so the only reason you want Windows on there, is because of some 3D game? [17:10] One last question will the grub that comes with the 9.04 cd work with 8.10? [17:10] redalert: the next option would to be put windows on another HD and use your bios to select [17:10] sebseb yah [17:10] semitones: You can add the "killall nm-applet" too. [17:10] several 3d games [17:10] <``y7> mzz: configured however ubuntu configures them from the installation :) [17:10] ``y7: you ping an ip address, and the rules printed by the "route" command determine which network card the packets use to get to that address [17:10] and utilities that I can only use with windos [17:10] ``y7: You don't choose, it will just ping where it can. [17:10] redalert: well some Windows 3D games can get working with Wine, but configuring and such [17:10] <``y7> so if i'm connected to the internet and i cannot ping google.com, does that have something to do with my ICMP filters? [17:11] ``y7: Very well could... [17:11] <``y7> i can access google.com but i cannot ping it... [17:11] redalert: the Grub on the 9.04 should would probably work yeah [17:11] ``y7: iptables output? [17:11] Installation drive i set as my seperate internal what about the installation size? [17:11] redalert: 9.04 CD [17:11] seb, I play most of my games through Wine but this one just refuses to, I spent the last 10 days on itXD [17:11] mobi-sheep: but then I don't have wifi. I thought there might be a way to use nm to configure the wired connection instead of doing it manually, would that be possible? [17:11] <``y7> brooksgarrett, i don't know what you're asking [17:11] ``y7: If you have port 113 blocked, you are correct, you will not be able to ping. [17:11] <``y7> 113 incoming or outgoing? [17:12] luke_c: if you are going to use the entire second HD for Ubuntu I would make a / /home and swap partition [17:12] allrighty guys thanks for the help :D [17:12] ``y7: out [17:12] ``y7: If ICMP is filtered, that will not allow pinging. [17:12] redalert: ok np [17:12] djdavis75, im not gonna use the whole hdd [17:12] <``y7> te_: isn't it best to have ICMP filtered? [17:12] ``y7: depends on your goals. [17:12] ``y7: That is debatable. [17:13] semitones: Mmm. I'm not the one to ask as I don't have Mac myself and I do not know to install Ubuntu on Mac so do you use parallel or directly install. That sort of stuffs. Generally, Ubuntu will use wired connection first, wifi second. [17:13] hey guys.. gots a question... virus wise... [17:13] mobi-sheep: I'm not using ubuntu on a mac at all [17:13] ``y7: Are you getting domain name resolution? (Do you get IP's when you issue command: host google.com ?) [17:13] luke_c: my / is only using 13 gig [17:13] !virus | GeekSquadSF [17:13] GeekSquadSF: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [17:13] anyone know if that Agent.btz virus affected linux machines? [17:13] mobi-sheep: I have a mac laptop that's connecting to a ubuntu computer [17:13] luke_c: but I have it sized to 150 gig [17:14] <``y7> te_: no i do not [17:14] GeekSquadSF: is that a Windows virus? if so nope Windows viruses won't effect Linux distros [17:14] Guys, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Laptop with an Ati mobility x700, using open source drivers. However, when I run google earth, the map window gets drawn in the foreground, in front of ALL existing windows. The same thing happens with glxgears. Any ideas? [17:14] GeekSquadSF: Agent.btz is a windows virus? [17:14] <``y7> te_: nevermind, i do, sorry. [17:14] Both HDD's are 250GB what size would you reccomend for the installation? [17:14] mobi-sheep: the problem is I never set up the eth network with nm manager so it never connects automatically [17:15] semitones: Why not? [17:15] using ath5k, how can i enable powersaving on my wireless adapter? [17:15] Orestis_G: they still do not play well together (3d apps and 3d desktop) [17:15] semitones: If it's set up automatically, then surely, the eth0 will connect automatically. [17:15] mobi-sheep: because there's no router to do dhcp -- it's a manual connection [17:15] Hello everyone how are you doing today [17:15] salmon, sometimes sound cards act funky - for my thinkpad I had to make sure that I muted headphone sense ,mic sense and surround [17:15] Installing [17:15] luke_c: I have my /home on a 160 gig drive, and I filled it up, but that depends a lot on what kind of data u have, I had lots of videos on there from my Tivo [17:16] semitones: If you have your NIC set to dhcp and there is a dhcp server on your lan, it should connect automatically. [17:16] SandGorgon, i'll fiddle around with it. thank you [17:16] salmon, if nothing works, consider getting rid of pulse - pm me and i'll send u a pointer [17:16] So after it's finished installing, reboot and i'll be able to choose which os? [17:16] luke_c: yes [17:16] luke_c: yes [17:16] Huzzah [17:17] semitones: the service won't start unless you either add it to the startup... or easier way is to specify it within /etc/networking/interfaces ABOVE your manual config [17:17] any suggestions? [17:17] tyler_d: will it work with nm then? and alongside the wifi network? [17:17] luke_c: yeah and then you get a pretty ugly looking Grub, shame Ubuntu dosan't theme it like other distros. there is a way to make it look a bit more nicer by changing something in the config file though [17:17] semitones: The choices is that you can create script (or two scripts -- to disable / enable). Or do it manually. Or you might want to find out more choices in #ubuntu-server as they heavily regulate with networking. I don't quite understand everything. [17:18] ok [17:18] semitones: it should, I had the same problem with dhcp [17:18] Meh [17:18] how do I change the default locale on a hardy server? Especially: where are the environment variables? If I set it in /etc/environment it gets overwritten somewhere else. the locales themselves are all installed correctly.. [17:18] semitones: Generally, buying a router would solve a problem. [17:18] it can't be /THAT/ bad can it xD [17:18] luke_c: well it works and all, but black and white [17:18] craigslist baby.. pop a router on that [17:19] I don't really want colour [17:19] Right, installation completed, reboot required [17:19] !locale | dakira [17:19] dakira: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [17:19] I'll be back in a tick :P [17:19] luke_c: there is a program called startup manager that lets u easily change grub colors and such, you can install it from in ubuntu, it's in the repos [17:19] luke_c: ok well there's an easy way to make it look more blue :) ,but whatever [17:19] ...ok, part two of the question, then...when I install google earth from the repositories, it doesn't draw all the objects, for example the map shows as black with the prefecture borderlines and the zoom in-out controls shows as a white box. If I install the latest version from google, it exits on startup, with a drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22 message [17:19] dakira: example, for US English I do... sudo apt-get install language-pack-en && sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [17:19] can i use my bluetooth headset to listen to music or as mic? it has paired successfully [17:19] btw, thanks for the help [17:19] djdavis75: is there?

Did you try cheese? [17:21] yes cheese doesnt detect it, nor does skype [17:22] it just doesnt show up [17:22] but i see it under lsusb [17:22] hello [17:22] how can i use bluetooth headset to listen to music or as mic? it has paired successfully [17:22] djdavis75: it's been quite a few releases now where I haven't liked Ubuntu's booting up screen, because they removed all the booting up details, apparnatly there's something that can be changed in Grub config for this, but I never had any luck with that [17:22] can someone plese help me detect my wifi network ipv6 on my ubuntu ?

[19:39] apparently, my webcam is supported with the linux uvc driver, but my system is not picking it up :( my kernel is 2.6.28, so UVC should be available [19:39] oo lol nvm [19:39] any ideas of what else to try? [19:40] ekiga and skype both don't see a webcam device [19:40] LogicFan try cheese and see if it does any better [19:40] cabrey: Darn. [19:40] cabrey: How can I disable this interface then?

[19:43] JenniferB2: Ext3 by default [19:44] nod62, now to enable compiz System > Preferences > Appearance > Desktop Effects [19:44] JenniferB2: and NTFS is Windows, not good idea to run that for Linux stuff really === xstaticelectrici is now known as xstatik === [1]eflynn is now known as eflynn [19:44] JenniferB2: ,but Linux distros can read and write to NTFS nicely, as long as Windows shut it down properly === xstatik is now known as xstatikz [19:45] ook.. I have a backup disk on this server.. I was thinking on moving everything to that disk and then install ubuntu over.. I believe ubuintu can read ntfs disks so I can move that information back on the ext3 disks ? [19:45] JenniferB2: yeah I guess you can [19:45] JenniferB2 careful with permissions when you do that. [19:45] ooh.. I hate permissions..

[19:50] sweetchildofmine: something about Ubuntu's Firefox and how it goes bad for some of us, makes our computers go slown, maybe even barely useable, this will tend to happen with many tabs open, and Flash can cause it [19:50] yes, it's buggy. [19:50] JenniferB2: ok well Linux/Unix do that stuff properly [19:51] I'm really annoyed I can't use the color picker thingy. [19:51] єсть хто рускамовний? [19:51] it's so much better than personas.

[19:53] JenniferB2: no OS is perfect, but Linux distros tend to do the technical OS stuff better than Windows [19:53] cabrey: may I ask what is simple ccsm? [19:54] JenniferB2 yes, I would tar everything into a backup before storing it on ntfs [19:54] any OS is better than windows [19:54] settings manager to compiz [19:54] Mow__, instead of getting ccsm, a moster of an app, try simple ccsm which is much easier to understand and use [19:54] All microshit employees should be stoned to death [19:54] is it normal for" Jun 3 13:40:23 Raven NetworkManager: (eth1): supplicant connection state: associated -> completed" to appear every eh, two minutes?

[19:55] cabrey: what is it some kind of app that allows you to set up cube? is it in the add/remove or synt package [19:55] ...as i want. on ubuntu tested with konquror, ff and opera. any solutions?

[19:56] ravn1: however certain hardware for certain companies are more likely to work with Ubuntu and other distros, better than others [19:57] what a bot you have here :) , here is my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/187584/ [19:57] I tried opensuse once.. it took me many many hours to install things and drivers.. is there any good link on getting started with linux.. how things are built up etc.. I have noticed that allot of users know how the system is built up, and what files contain what... like what the usr/ folder contains.. good, easy but yet valuable information [19:57] ravn1, look into dell, and system76 [19:57] maybe gnochm? [19:57] ravn1: for example Intel tend to have good support, Nivida has it's propritary graphics card drivers, and if you were buying a printer you woudn't buy Lexmark or Kodek, because they don't support Linux [19:57] AhmadSherif Please post a brief description of the problem when you post a link [19:57] !filesystem [19:57] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [19:57] hey, one other thing..

[19:58] is upgrading from interpid to jaunty recommened ? [19:58] allright [19:58] progre55: - yes there are, - at least i found a few of em ... - you might just want to try google for chm and that will show you most of em.. [19:58] is upgrading from interpid to jaunty recommened and safe ? [19:58] sebsebseb: actually I have a Lexmark printer that works excellent with linux... [19:58] ka, do you know what your hardware? [19:58] cabrey, yes [19:59] cabrey, its intel gpu [19:59] ravn1: If your from USA or Canada System76 is an option, and they have some nice pre installed Ubuntu's. http://www.system76.com there's also http://www.zareason.com and http://www.dell.com/ubuntu [19:59] how much of a security risk is it to store a password in clear text, presuming that only the system user that needs the password has access to read the file? [19:59] !chm [19:59] ka, what graphics card do you have? that's the biggest issue. [19:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about chm [19:59] cabrey, Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML [19:59] !intel [19:59] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [19:59] ravn1: ok, but it probably isn't a Lexmark driver, that gets it working, insted it's something that the Linux community reverse engingered or whatever [20:00] briefly, i want google to search for the site name if i entered it plainly (just 'ubuntu'). it was working on ubunutu 7.10 but not on 9.04 and 8.10 [20:00] ichat, thanks :) I've tried "apt-cache search chm | grep chm", and got a list :) but thanks anyways. Just wanted to know if there was the most recommended one.. [20:00] XCHM for example is quite ok [20:01] Jack_sparrow: system...pref..advanced desktop effects... there is no advanced dekstop effects [20:01] exit [20:01] can brasero b used to make a dvd that will play in a dvd player or does it just burn data ? [20:01] sebsebseb: regarding printing: yes, probably, but it works really nice! [20:01] Mow then you did not follow my instructions [20:01] ravn1: ok [20:01] sjokkis, a very big one [20:01] AhmadSherif: it's a setting in firefox.. about:config might help [20:01] Where do I go to get help testing and developing a Ubuntu package? [20:01] !packaging [20:01] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [20:01] chuck_: that's what i thought, too. why are some programs made that way? [20:02] razerblk: I think brasero will do it if you've got the right material.. take a look at devede too.. [20:02] Slart: don't think so, i tested with konqueror, FF, Opera [20:02] xenocampanoli: #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-devel, depending on where the package is for or what the issue is. [20:02] Is this going to work? 8gig drive with 1 partition root, and a swap. 6gig drive freshly formatted, not mounted, but 8gig is mounted and running ubuntu. dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb , replace 8gig with 6gig and boot? (updating the fstab of course) ? [20:02] Jack_Sparrow:I downloaded that and went to preffs.. [20:02] chuck_: like, to let mpd update my last.fm account, it needs my last.fm password stores in clear text. isn't this really, really stupid? [20:02] Solaris: Missing Dependencies ... Sorry I got called away [20:02] ichat, oh, that the answer I was looking for :) thanks man, appreciate! [20:02] pici: thank you [20:03] sjokkis: last.fm hasn't implemented an OAuth or any other sensible way of doing the authentication apart from user/pass method. Complain to them [20:03] Mow I cant help much. I dont work with any wubi installs [20:03] AhmadSherif: eh.. let's start over.. just so I get everything right here.. you want to type "blablabla" in the address bar of your browser and it should go to google and search for "blablabla", correct? [20:03] how do i know if its ok to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 [20:03] Slart: yes [20:03] jedi06 get a live cd and see how it works [20:03] deany - i usaly use about 3 to 5gigs for ubuntu - about 1:1 (ram : swap) and and all left over space for /home [20:03] Slart: and if there is a site like www.blahblahblah.com it should take me to it [20:04] Myrtti: yeah, that's probably what i should do === sPace is now known as battle [20:04] and use a user/pass combo i don't use anywhere else in the meantime [20:04] Jack_Sparrow, is there any issue of losing data or apps? [20:04] sjokkis, I have no idea why they want it that way but it is off topic anyway [20:04] AhmadSherif: that is configured in your browser.. it's not a system wide setting [20:04] ichat, thx, but that wasnt my question. just wanna know if i can dd a larger drive to smaller drive, source mounted, destination not [20:04] chuck_: yeah, sure. i guess [20:04] Anybody familiar with busybox ? [20:05] jedi06 Not running a livecd. if you have not created a sep /home I would strongly suggest that you do [20:05] Slart: i tested it on two different machines, and it works just fine in kubuntu [20:05] i installed mysql and this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/187583/plain/ [20:05] Jack_Sparrow, I have a spe /home [20:05] deany - i did that once, - but remeber to NOT coppy empty bytes - if you try [20:05] Question. I just tried to upgrade from 7.10->8.04 LTS. At the end, it choked on gcc-3.4-doc. I see that this is a documented bug and that I can fix it by copying another gcc info file to where it expects 3.4 to be, but uh, i don't have another info file in there. Any suggestions on how to fix this damn bug? [20:05] moin [20:05] does anyone here know how to upgrade ubuntu to ubuntu studio [20:05] where can I get a general overview (from an end-user perspective) about how sound works in Jaunty. The mixer, the default sound card, sound system, what apps use what, is there a systemwide default etc... I've tried google briefly but seems a little too technical to me. [20:05] inbtwnrthedoors: you can just install ubuntu studio [20:05] was is das den [20:05] inbtwnrthedoors: I think [20:06] !studio [20:06] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [20:06] whats wubu have to do with it...everything else runs fine.. [20:06] AhmadSherif: eh.. so? [20:06] deany: Are you copying from your mounted root partition? [20:06] Jack_sparrow: do you mean go into my compiz and go to advanced? [20:06] Mow I avoid getting involved with anyone running a wubi based install [20:06] inbtwnrthedoors: sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop [20:06] ichat, whats the switch for that then. [20:07] Slart: so there should be something to configure to solve it [20:07] inbtwnrthedoors: then you will have standard Ubuntu as well as the studio [20:07] ferret_, yes. mounted and running [20:07] 9.04 is only 697MB? [20:07] AhmadSherif: yes.. in firefox's about:config thingy [20:07] inbtwnrthedoors: and choose which one to log in to from the log in screen [20:07] Solaris: Sorry I have been away from my desk... you have missing dependencies ... open synaptic .. goto edit >fix broken packages [20:07] there is more space on the destination than is used on source. [20:07] der manni spielt country :) [20:07] sebsebseb oh nice thanks [20:07] deany: That's not a particularly good idea. It'd be better to boot from an optical disc and do the copy then. [20:07] Slart: suppose there is, what about Opera and Konqueror [20:07] ? [20:07] !de > Sugar_Daddy [20:07] Sugar_Daddy, please see my private message [20:07] ok brb [20:08] inbtwnrthedoors: you can do this as well same command, but xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop if you want those as well, and np [20:08] AhmadSherif: I have no idea.. they might have settings for these things too. I haven't used them though === MadMax is now known as Guest64790 [20:08] ichat, cant do it from a recovery console or someth> [20:08] anyone here use screen? [20:08] sebsebseb does that give me the studio programs as well [20:09] Slart: just one last thing, is this proplem has anything to do with DNS? [20:09] ectospasm, yep [20:09] inbtwnrthedoors: should do [20:09] deany: If not, the safest way to copy a partition is to do something like: mkdir /mnt/root; mount -o bind / /mnt/root; cp -av /mnt/root/* /mnt/dest/ [20:09] hey people. How can the uuid's of disks get messed up in an Ubuntu Xen guest? [20:09] Hey guys, I want to remove ia32-libknotificationitem1 from my system, dpkg says it need to be reinstalled and it can't find the deb'file. [20:09] vol_id /dev/sdb1 returns "unkown volume type" [20:09] AhmadSherif: I don't think so, no.... although you might use dns in some clever way to achieve it [20:09] but /dev/sdb1 is present (according to fdisk -l) [20:09] deany: And if possible, close down things that might write to the disk... otherwise you may end up with inconsistencies in those programs' data [20:09] ferret_, a simple cp -av will duplicate it? [20:09] I want to remove it from my system but apt/aptitude just won't ( stopping at the error saying it needs to be reinstalled ) [20:09] ks3: do you know how to change the screen profile? When I installed Jaunty over Intrepid, the first time I ran screen it prompted for a profile, I chose Ubuntu, but I can't figure out how to change it to another profile [20:09] there is also a symlink from /dev/disk/by-uuid/ to ../../sdb1 [20:10] deany - how about a cdboot - like the normal ubuntu cdrom - ??? [20:10] Slart: all right, thanks anyway [20:10] inbtwnrthedoors: yes it will since it's all in the repo [20:10] :) [20:10] is there an easy way to try to grab a graphics driver from koala and install it on jaunty? [20:10] deany: coreutils 7+'s cp -a correctly duplicates all kind of files (and does a jolly good job with sparse files) [20:10] but that uuid is the one reported by "vol_id /dev/sdb" [20:10] ks3: the Ubuntu one is cool, but I just want to know how to change it === mosgra` is now known as mosgra [20:10] inbtwnrthedoors: those programs you can also use in a standard Ubuntu install [20:10] The man page gives no hints [20:10] where can I get a general overview (from an end-user perspective) about how sound works in Jaunty. The mixer, the default sound card, sound system, what apps use what, is there a systemwide default etc... I've tried google briefly but seems a little too technical to me. [20:10] deany: Before version 7 it would always expand sparse files [20:11] deany: But you probably don't have any sparse files, in any case [20:11] sebsebseb yea I know that, just wanted to check out studio [20:11] sebsebseb and its less work than getting them one by one :) [20:11] inbtwnrthedoors: indeed [20:12] Jack_Sparrow, i ended up using GetDataBack to rebuild the partition table. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though ^_^ [20:12] keres_ glad it all worked out [20:12] ectospasm, it's just a symlink under ~/.screen-profiles. probably an easy way to change it, but worst case would be a) remove .screen-profiles and .screenrc and get reprompted b) manually change the .screen-profiles/profile symlink [20:12] keres_ and thaks for understanding why that was offtopic [20:12] keres... awesome [20:12] ks3: Ah, OK, thanks! [20:12] * gvandeweyer wonders how to get a decent TV experience (with sound etc) under linux with his saa7134 card... :-) [20:12] Jack_Sparrow, yes indeed. Thanks a bunch man.

[20:13] same with you fccf [20:13] gvandeweyer: there's a Windows Media Centre alternatieve [20:13] keres_ NO website.. but thanks [20:13] ok [20:13] :> [20:13] keres_: www.fullertonfirstchristian.org [20:13] !ot [20:13] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:14] fccf, Praise The Lord :) [20:14] ferret_, id have to install grub on it too? [20:14] hi this is slightly off topic but my dad has a vigor network firewall thing and he's blocked all msn,yahoo,aim Im clients for working and i was wondering if some one could help me find away around it ? === tschaka^ is now known as tschaka [20:14] o_O [20:15] deany: This would just copy your root partition. If you want to copy your boot partition also, do it in a separate step [20:15] keres_: indeed ... and do it with stream ... I am in charge of the stream [20:15] what is the best way to grab a graphics driver from karmic? [20:15] !karmic [20:15] Welshy-Rob: Generally when daddy blocks certain protocols, it's because Daddy doesn't want anyone using them [20:15] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:15] fccf, stream?

[20:20] gvandeweyer: said not should above [20:20] deany: OK, the important thing to understand is that when you install grub, you need to tell it two things; where to write the bootloader stage1 right now, and where to tell that stage1 to look for more files when it's actually booting [20:20] Middid: and that doesn't work in wine?

The first thing (where to write the bootloader stage1) is the ''setup'' command in the grub shell, and in the example I am giving you would say: setup (hd1) [20:22] is there a way to view what bluetooth devices are connected to a computer?

So I created another user on my local machine. From the console, I do "su - wad2" then "firefox &", but it gives me "Error: no display specified". Is there a better way to do this, or a way to make it work? [21:09] Floops your box starts by running bios, that loads the first sector off whatever boot media you have (in the case of a CD it emulates a bootable disk). That loads the boot loader (default is grub). Grub then loads in the initrd (initial ram disk) which loads the kernel. This process is known as bootstrapping and is how your box starts up. The fact it stopped at init rd tells me it could not continue. Most common reason it can not [21:09] continue as the kernel loader has no module for the media the kernel is on. Grub did, initrd did not. [21:10] wad, use Firefox profiles [21:10] cabrey: I'll check into those. Thanks.

For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [22:47] Nationiant, yes [22:47] oh, an extra partition for it, I see [22:47] hmm [22:47] I dunno, but how can i [22:47] codeFiend that keeps your files sep from os so os can more easlily be updated [22:47] links rocks, but I once navigated to a website and they banned my IP [22:48] Jack_Sparrow: makes sense. [22:48] My EEE PC 900 was updated to 9.04. On boot, it boots a 8.10 kernel. Why? [22:48] Well [22:48] How can I add Ubuntu to Vista bootloader, OR recover Grub?

[22:49] cabrey answer to uname -r = 2.6.27-14-generic [22:49] codeFiend FYI, I keep a stable and a testing linux on every box [22:49] on this desktop [22:49] sburwood, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:49] sburwood, also post your sources.list to pastebin [22:49] No sound after standby / sleeping-mode , how i can fix this issue! thx [22:50] wrektjet: I was getting there but first I wanted to see by the output of the du if the pain I was going to inflict upon you us worth the time. [22:50] mdm i think im back where started :( [22:50] cabrey, I have two problems. This desktop is allergic to 2.6.28. I have to hit escape during boot to get to 2.6.27 [22:50] the grub files are now in the file "main" with 400+ free gigs [22:50] hey guys my source list is missing can you give me a link to the list with keys that ship with jaunty? [22:50] helper, try switching to ALSA [22:51] Jack_sparrow: If I wanted could I run teamviewer / xfire with wine? [22:51] I want to eliminate the choice of 2.6.28 on this desktop [22:51] !sound | helper [22:51] helper: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

Of course you can not do that while it is in use so most of it has to be done in single user mode to be safe [22:51] sburwood, i thought it was an Eee [22:51] mdm i can use the livecd [22:51] Mow No idea, I dont use wine.. see the /msg ubottu !appdb [22:51] cabrey, there are two computers at the house. One, a EEE, one a P4 at 2.4G [22:51] it just disapeered on me [22:51] wrektjet: true [22:52] sburwood gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:52] sburwood, does the Eee work?

To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [22:52] yes, but its battery time is very limited [22:52] maximum resolution is incorrect [22:52] sburwood, how did you upgrade both system? also, for the Eee i would suggest array.org kernel [22:52] mdm sigh. the whole idea i was trying to get at wa to seperate the grub files from my data. it doesnt look like ive done that [22:53] Rabbit1, read the whole factoid, please... [22:53] Is there a program like teamviewer for ubuntu? [22:53] who is from peterborough? [22:53] anyone? [22:53] okay will do again. [22:53] wrektjet: no all you did was make a new partiotn for space, in a directory that really isnt standard for anything [22:53] jake what was your question? [22:53] my software sources disapeered === kb is now known as Guest71534 [22:53] they are just gone [22:54] I need a link to them and the keys [22:54] jake check for typo in path [22:54] hey is it okay to install xubuntu on like a 10gb parititon ON A LAPTOP if your hard drive is like 80gb with 23gb free? or what? this person has to be able to access windows partition and stuff [22:54] to be able to access ntfs, but have linux [22:54] cabrey, two problems. The EEE was updated. It says that it is 9.04. When I hit "esc" during boot, I only see a 2.6.27 kernel from 8.10 [22:54] So if I was going to dual boot an OS-X machine with ubuntu, what would be the benefit of using bootcamp instead of grub, or vise versa? [22:54] they are the ones that came with jaunty [22:54] !info bluez-utils > mu99ins [22:54] they are not there at all now [22:54] jake, go into System->Software sources and check the boxes [22:54] The desktop which I'm using refuses to use 9.04 [22:54] all gone [22:54] sburwood, how did you upgrade the system? [22:54] wrektjet: what I was guesing, without knowing what you really use your system for is that the majority of the space you used is in fact your home directory. But that sort of depends on how long you have used your system [22:54] on the website [22:55] oh i see [22:55] seems like you could just google that, or look it up on the website, however... [22:55] sburwood, you didnt use update-manager? [22:55] myself: it is possible... if it is ok or not is up to you (or the person you are talking about ) [22:55] mdm ive been using the systen for a few months [22:55] what happen to my third party ? thats what is gone [22:55] jake gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ctrl-shift-V to paste into terminal [22:55] hey guys does anyone know how to install songbird on ubuntu?????????? [22:55] yes, I was mistaken, I used the update manager with the EEE [22:55] ErUSUL i am just asking for advice, whats the best size dude [22:55] I'm sorry for my ignorance there [22:55] wrektjet: did that du ever finish? [22:55] mdm but i only have like 15 gigs of data [22:55] no problem [22:55] jake, can you re-enable them? [22:56] sburwood, and the desktop, a fresh install or upgrade? [22:56] mdm nope i told u i am getting that error [22:56] myself: given that you have only 23 GiB free 10 giB is ok i guess [22:56] jake: Did they dissapear when you upgraded to jaunty, or just "out of the blue"? [22:56] 10gb is okay? okay. cool [22:56] thank you [22:56] wrektjet, um... Trash? [22:56] phil__, the last time i used songbird it still had a memory leak [22:56] jake: deb (src) http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner [22:56] phil__, check out Banshee [22:56] kalmi what do u mean trash [22:56] jake: is the 3rd party source the ubuntu comes with [22:56] wrektjet: let it get that error, let it finish too. Some commands, especially those that walk a file system, take a long time [22:56] is there any easy way to install the latest songbird on ubuntu ? [22:57] phil: installed sonbird but id didnt run well [22:57] I had done a upgrade on the desktop, but during boot, I get a sort of error message that prevents me from getting past the POST [22:57] so I had to revert back to 8.10 [22:57] sburwood, that doesn't make sense, POST is part of the BIOS [22:57] mdm but the /home$ pops back up on the next line [22:57] phil__, you'll have to download the .tar.gz and install it that way. i don't think their is a deb for it [22:57] sburwood: sounds like a hardware problem [22:58] Kalmi_, i did as site alsa force-reload , the sound driver remove from the kernal ! how i can reload this again ! thx [22:58] wrektjet: it doesnt give you any more lines, like maybe something with hour username and a number? [22:58] bastidrazor I sent him a link already [22:58] thiebaude, but he is using 8.10 right now [22:58] hey, do all ubuntu programs work with xubuntu? [22:58] is banshee just the same like songbird???? [22:58] well, I mean it just posts stuff on the screen like the hard drive etc. and it stuffs a dump of sorts on the screen [22:58] sburwood: check the mobo POST codes (beeps/flashing lights) in the mobo manual [22:58] phil: if Iám not mistaken you can download the pacage in deb and install it from there [22:58] phil__, even better IMHO [22:58] but the desktop worked with 8.10 [22:58] sburwood: that'll tell you if it's HW [22:58] where do I find mobo manual? [22:58] mdm for clarity sake : http://paste.ubuntu.com/187698/ [22:58] hey, do all ubuntu programs work with xubuntu? [22:58] myself generally, yes [22:59] Jack_Sparrow, may i have the link also, i don't see it in the scroll back [22:59] I'm a newbie, though not completely [22:59] http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=songbird [22:59] sburwood: maybe from your vendor's website/support site or the mobo manufacturer's site? [22:59] thank you Jack_Sparrow [22:59] np [22:59] When I do apt-get upgrade it says that "The following packages have been held back" and lists a bunch of packages. Why does it do this? [22:59] and the mobo ... what's that? ... web site = ? [22:59] Jack_sparrow what would not work? [22:59] guys i installed the latest ubuntu in a 10 gig partition next to windows 7 rc1 [22:59] sburwood: mobo = motherboard [22:59] sburwood, motherboard [23:00] helper, is it working now? [23:00] I've a P4S533E [23:00] boss_mc they were working then dissapeared out of the blue [23:00] helper, force-reload actually reloads it... [23:00] jake: they disappeared again? [23:00] sburwood, are you sure it is a POST problem? [23:00] ok wrektjet you have 10 240 404K of "stuff" in your home directory, or about 10G that you can free up [23:00] sburwood, can you give the exact error? [23:00] I don't know exactly [23:00] jake: or just the once? [23:00] myself There are exceptions to every rule so I held back, but anything specifically for tweaking gnome or kde etc I would not expect to work 100% [23:00] to do that, I'd need to reboot [23:00] no they I tried to add them but it wont connect to the server [23:00] if i want someone to be able to run a certain type of cellphone dialup program for their cellphone, lemme see this http://www.bluesoleil.com/ should they install xubuntu? [23:00] Kalmi_, i though it reload too, it remove it , i do now lsmod didn't find it [23:00] if they want to run that program [23:00] myself: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:00] wrektjet: if that space is worth your time, Ill tell you how to move your home directory into it [23:00] it says connection 111 refused [23:01] sburwood, can you use your Eee to stay on here? [23:01] can i enlarge the partition space for ubuntu ?

[23:52] felix_ its in spanish [23:52] I want to install an older version of gnome-keyring [23:52] downgrading is not allowed [23:52] i agree about fccf !!!!!!!! [23:52] eh?

[23:57] I've never actually done a downgrade before [23:57] qbrix: yes and you can use LVM too [23:57] mdm here is ls /media/disk-1/boot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/187732/ [23:57] qbrix, should be run... u should use alternate-cd [23:58] ok and /media/disk-1/boot/grub/menu.lst? and /media/disk/grub/menu.lst please [23:58] there u can define alternate partitions like crypting, LVM and RAID [23:58] i installed Xvnc but when i try to connect with vncviewer localhost:1 i get: "connection reset by peer :(" [23:58] qbrix: looks like this /dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lvm0 18942416 2738692 15249064 16% / [23:59] Hello.
