[00:06] AssociateX: you can install kubuntu-desktop, then you can choose from login-screen to login in gnome or kde, but kubuntu-desktop will come will a lot of extra apps [00:06] AssociateX, but that will download like 1g of data :) [00:07] AssociateX: not 1g but a lot [00:07] Thank you all who answered. [00:07] ty [00:07] AssociateX: i do suggest using kubuntu and doing a clean install [00:07] otherwise, you'll waste a lot of space and have some weird stuff going on.

[01:29] Polarina, i'm trying to tell you that you're going to remove quite a bit of functionality [01:29] Polarina, and you might break stuff [01:29] It makes accessibility difficult for me. [01:30] what is the official site of TRUECOMBAT:ELITE? [01:30] can you be specific? its hard when you make vague statements [01:30] cabrey: That's why I asked here, so I don't break stuff.

IMs are quite important for me to see quickly, but e-mail can wait if I'm working on something else.

[01:34] Chiggins: It will bring down a list of networks in reach. [01:35] Polarina, when i did that, the only thing that was there was something like "Edit wireless networks" [01:35] Chiggins: Are there any nearby access points at all? [01:35] btw, right now, im on vista, since i cant get online on ubuntu yet [01:35] Polarina: to change popups in pidgin: tools > plugins > libnotify popups; select it and click configure, or disable completely by unchecking; for evolution popups in evolution go to edit > preferences > mail preferences > general and see at bottom of the tab [01:36] am kinda worried Now, I used the commands by sudo -i o set up the bootloader, but got error [01:36] CANNOT cannot BOOT [01:36] Boot Boot issue, GRUB corrupted and not reinstallable [01:36] ya, im on one right, with vista [01:37] VCoolio: I also don't like these two grouped together there. [01:38] Polarina, so you want pidgin notifications, but not evolution? [01:38] I got the ext4 system hang problem , any help [01:39] When I click the close button (X) on the Pidgin Buddy List Interface, it completely shuts down. It's not supposed to do that. :( [01:39] Polarina, that has nothing to do with notifications. but look in the top right hand corner after clicking X [01:40] there should be a sort of green circle [01:40] cabrey: Pidgin just shuts, everything. It closes connections to servers, logs out, and so on. [01:40] Chiggins: pastebin results of ifconfig in command line [01:40] cabrey: And there was no green circle. [01:41] Polarina: start it from a terminal then and see if theres any errors [01:41] Hi, I'm trying to burn a video dvd with Brasero, and when i click "burn" it says "it is not possoble to write with the current set of plugins" What plugins do i need to burn this?

[01:41] Polarina, thats interesting, but tbh i dont use pidgin anymore, i use empathy now [01:41] why is there no linux framebuffer device? [01:41] (/dev/fb0) [01:42] ttyType, why do you need that? [01:42] ttyType: you didnt load a driver for it? [01:42] ttyType: you likely don't have the modules for it loaded or the modules were blacklisted [01:42] ttyType: i think they are blacklisted by default [01:42] cabrey: i dont 'need' it, but i wanna understand some stuff [01:43] mgolisch: i thought the framebuffer device wasn't [01:43] modularizable [01:43] whats the nam eof ubuntu remix's user interface (I want that UI on a "normal" xubuntu install) [01:43] ttyType, check out /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf [01:43] cabrey: so what [01:43] would ubuntu use if it didnt have DRI? [01:43] Joker_-_: its a gnome-panel applet, and some gtk prog [01:44] ttyType, ok then... [01:44] mgolisch: and there is no "pseudo-package" that installs everything, taking care of dependancies and config? [01:44] ah hah, i see. there is framebuffer blacklist...hmm...... [01:45] Joker_-_: they should have packages, no idea if they realy depend on everything needed [01:45] mgolisch: I wanted that UI on a normal laptop (thats for a kid and I find that UI easyer, simpler.) [01:45] easiest way is probably installing ubuntu-desktop and ontop of that whatever packages netbook remix consists of [01:46] maybe gnome-panel is enough, just check the dependencies of the netbook remix packages [01:46] mgolisch : I read tha remix is optimised for atom so I tought I shouldnt install it (tought it might have some modules or something) [01:47] mgolisch: all I wanted isthe UI... I tought it was as simple as installing xfce alon with gnome and / or KDE [01:47] Joker_-_, have you used it before? [01:47] Hey everyone, I have a BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n wireless card, and 9.04, and I can't get wireless to work. [01:47] cabrey: yup, I had a netbook before... you can seemlessly switch between gnome and the new UI [01:47] JosephWHolme1: try this: [01:47] cabrey: it's pretty cooll [01:48] Joker_-_, yea I know, im on a netbook :) === jforte is now known as Jena === RHorse_ is now known as RHorse [01:48] wut? [01:48] Can someone help me to downgrade some packages? apt-get doesn't want to do it - can I force it to do so somehow? [01:48] Open up a terminal. [01:48] Joker_-_, the netbook UI, however, is horrible IMHO, but there was a page on help.ubuntu.com to install it on normal ubuntu [01:48] Whats that. [01:48] Mike_lifeguard: sudo apt-get install packagename=versionnumber [01:48] Mike_lifeguard: I don't think that's supported [01:48] JosephWHolme1: Have you done anything to setup the card yet? [01:48] cabrey: cool, imma look at it [01:48] JosephWHolme1: Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal [01:49] Hi, I'm trying to burn a video dvd with Brasero, and when i click "burn" it says "it is not possoble to write with the current set of plugins" What plugins do i need to burn this? [01:49] mdg: no it don't work. [01:49] bslbryan: okay. [01:49] and type exactly this: [01:49] sudo rmmod ssb [01:49] sudo modprobe wl [01:49] LjL: where would I find possible values for the version number for xserver-xorg-video-intel for example? [01:49] when you do the first command, [01:49] it will ask you for a password. [01:50] It will not look like anything is being typed in. [01:50] Mike_lifeguard, aptitude search [01:50] BslBryan: What driver does that card use? [01:50] hi! [01:50] * Mike_lifeguard tries... [01:50] Mike_lifeguard, aptitude show package_name * [01:50] Mike_lifeguard: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel (will tell you the ones that you have available - if you don't have them available, then tough luck ;) [01:50] my wireless light is on now [01:50] hi slevin [01:50] but i don't see no networks.

I see them now thank you so much [01:52] hi all. im on 9.04 and brasero cant see my dvd drive. all other progs can see it. [01:52] I'm glad JosephWHolme1. :-) [01:52] anyone familliar with this screen? http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9765/kernel.jpg i think it happens when i use the nic alot, since it also shows rlt8169 in there [01:53] BslBryan: what's ssb? [01:53] Guest62362, I have found that brasero is not one of the better burning applications... if on gnome I prefer gnomebaker to brasero [01:53] mdg: wireless module. [01:53] coz: i try that. thnx [01:54] hi everyone... when am trying to update my system, it says that an error occurred during signature verification!! what shall i do? [01:54] BslBryan: was trying to figure out which one :) [01:54] i prefer cdrecord.. [01:54] :) [01:54] mdg: Ah, sorry. :-) I don't actually know terribly much about it. I know about that solution from experience, not textbook knowledge. [01:54] I can look it up, though. [01:55] evening, people... anyone know if using the ubuntu livecd to partition and install ubuntu on an existing xp install will leave the data intact or not? [01:55] BslBryan: I gathered you had dealt with it before :) [01:55] Lucifer_Cat: your data will be ok [01:56] good. [01:56] not that i particularly care, but i would like to keep the xp install for times when something does not support linux [01:57] that reminds me.. any straightforward way to have netflix streaming on ubuntu? [01:57] Lucifer_Cat: i know what you mean, i've done the dual boot before [01:57] mdg: Apparently a lot of wireless cards on Jaunty don't know how to deal with ssb (still no word on what it actually does. It doesn't exist on Hardy) and, so terminating the module allows the wireless card to be activated. [01:57] Lucifer_Cat: never did the netflix thing [01:57] what is the default window manager/desktop enviro that is installed with ubuntu? [01:57] Sarago: GNOME. [01:57] !gnome [01:57] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [01:57] i'm installing on an old 1g celeron with only 256mb of ram so I want a fast one [01:58] BslBryan: Good to know! Thanks!

[01:59] mdg: Ah. Yeah, I tinkered with Jaunty, but after solving my problems and realizing that I can get around with any Ubuntu distro, I went back to Hardy, and am staying here until the next LTS. [01:59] anyone know if Ubuntu supports a BluRay drive? [02:00] SeaPhor: yes. [02:00] You can even burn a blank Blu-Ray disc. [02:00] mdg: Isn't the netbook remix optimized to minimize problems?

Do you see it with the lspci or lshw command? [02:01] it's fast and lightweight [02:01] Sarago: i've used a lot of different window managers before [02:01] mdg: Oh, all right. :-) What are you thinking about getting?

[02:07] mdg: If you try to install with an SD card, though, it might take some troubleshooting before it will be a success. [02:07] mdg, i'm running on an Eee right now [02:07] cabrey: maybe [02:07] BslBryan: whats a good flash drive to use for that? [02:08] mdg, there are some fixes that you would immediately need to implement [02:08] hows the ubuntu support for Acer Aspire One? [02:08] Lucifer_Cat, so so, I've heard there are some problems for people [02:08] cabrey: are they posted at ubuntuforums website? [02:08] what kind, any details? [02:08] mdg: I'd listen to cabrey, as it looks like he knows a lot more than I do about it. But as far as flash drives, I use a 16GB SanDisk, but you only need a 4GB. [02:09] mdg, not that i know of, i had to find this out myself, but i think it was submitted as a bug report [02:09] mdg, and I have the 900HA [02:09] cabrey: what kinds of things? [02:09] mdg, well out of the box everything works, except the trackpad misbehaves [02:10] mdg, its really jumpy and makes you want to throw it out of the window [02:10] mdg, but you just add an option to the module psmouse and it works fantastically [02:10] cabrey: LOL - that'd be me all right LOL [02:10] mdg, the quality of the trackpad is amazing [02:10] mdg, i can use 1, 2, or 3 fingers [02:10] cabrey: which os do you use on it?

I managed to find a Dell notebook for $299 with Ubuntu preinstalled. [02:12] Which is a lot better than a netbook [02:12] And apparently cheaper. [02:12] cabrey: what array.org?

[02:16] <[Crussd2]> GFXboot on Jaunty is not work :( [02:17] mdg, it is a preview version, but it is extremely stable and the only missing functionality is plugins not working yet [02:17] thiebaude: i'll sell you my dell [02:17] Cloudef: what is your problem again?

So I decide to downgrade to xorg 1.5.2. Do any people here have some good doc I can follow to downgrade ?? [02:18] RHorse - got to town with this, haha ..... http://pastebin.com/m4f6f16a3 [02:19] Cloudef: Uncheck enable mouse clicks with touchpad. [02:19] BslBryan: I dont have touchpad tab or section there [02:19] BslBryan: Also this is desktop :P [02:19] Cloudef: We're probably on different versions. [02:19] Cloudef: What are the options? [02:20] Or tabs? [02:20] BslBryan: General and Easy Access(something) [02:20] patapouf, what ati card? [02:20] BslBryan: The interface is in finnish [02:20] Cloudef: Ah. That complicates things! :-) What version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:20] cabrey: It's a Radeon Mobility X300 (M22) -> R300 [02:21] BslBryan: Like i said i updated from Hardy to Jaunty so Jaunty 9.04 =) [02:21] patapouf, ah so official ati drivers don't work [02:21] BslBryan: Thats when the problem started aswell [02:21] Chiggins: you trying to set up wireless? [02:21] BslBryan: I think the proplem is related to HAL and needs to fiddle around with FDI files [02:21] Cloudef: I will be back in a couple of minutes. I'm going to try to figure out how to give you the equivalent instructions. [02:21] patapouf, im not sure if there is a doc on downgrading X, but i vaguely recall one. have you searched help.ubuntu.com? [02:22] BslBryan: When i do lshal > lshal.txt [02:22] cabrey: Officialy the fglrx driver doesn't work and sine xorg 1.6 the ati radeon driver doesn't realy perform well .. [02:22] BslBryan: I get weird line about Macihntosh mouse emulation [02:22] hey [02:22] BslBryan: I suggest this is the proplem as Mac has only one button [02:23] how can i fix a VLC frame drag problem, all file's have framedrag/bleeding on scene change and on fast forwarde/rewind, totem movie player does not have the problem. [02:23] Cloudef: Hm. [02:23] I don't think that my original solution will work, then. [02:23] patapouf, BslBryan , as of now , ATI does not support ANY compiz enabled, and External vga, but is comming soon [02:23] up and running on my ubuntu install [02:24] BslBryan: About the mouse itself, its Labtec Optical [02:24] how come my terminal window keeps showing up on my second screen? [02:24] Cloudef: Let me do a little research. [02:24] BslBryan: Sure =) [02:24] hi cypha ! [02:24] also how can i get xmms2 removed with all the other stuff it installed with it? like xmms2-core [02:24] ? [02:24] hey mdg [02:24] Definintely going to switch to fluxbox though... gnome is just a little slow for me [02:25] how can I find out what the filesystem is on my USB Seagate external hard disk? [02:25] Have Ubuntu 8.04 and can't connect to the internet with a Dell Dimension 2400. (not wireless) Can someone troubleshoot for me, please? [02:25] it mounts read only but the filesystem is unknown [02:25] SeaPhor: hum?! Well it doesn't match my info. I'm running the radeon driver with compiz enable. In fact, I get better performance with Compiz than metaticy+compositing .. :S Also, I'm running it on dual screen :S [02:25] I need it to mount rw of course... [02:25] BslBryan: Oh yes, I forgot to mentioin that when i used Windows some years ago the proplem existed there too, But in ubuntu it gone away until Jaunty [02:25] Laura4656545: You are using a wired connection? [02:25] SeaPhor: I guess we are not talking avbout the same driver, I hope [02:25] yes [02:26] Chiggins: this is a wireless built in to the mb? [02:26] Laura4656545: You seen the little icon that looks like two windows on the menu bar - right side? [02:26] RHorse - no, pci card [02:26] hey all [02:26] patapouf, BslBryan , all- i work at HP on the Linux dev team, i have daily meetings with issues from ATI (and others) [02:27] Once you install something from a .deb, do you need the file at all? [02:27] i keep getting "boot error" on the thinkpad trying to boot Ubuntu Netbook Remix dd'd to a flash drive. i'm on a thinkpad r40e. any ideas? [02:27] I am trying to mount a HD that is in a laptop through the live CD, and I am getting this error: mount: Special device /dev/hda does not exist. [02:27] Laura4656545: Right click it and look at connection information [02:27] yet /dev/hda shows up when I do a fdisk === mint is now known as WB2Colorado [02:27] what gives? [02:27] Mike_lifeguard, no [02:27] patapouf, have you tried the open source driver for your r300 card [02:27] Laura4656545: Also, is "enable networking" checkmarked? [02:27] cabrey: not even to uninstall? [02:27] Chiggins: ah. it's not being seena at all. Try removing and reseating it. Then turn off puter and let sit a minute. Then turn on. See if this works. [02:27] SeaPhor: That's awesome. I know that ATI cards are great, so I'm actually surprised compositors don't work. [02:27] Mike_lifeguard, thats right [02:28] sweet [02:28] thanks [02:28] how can i remove xmms2 and the other packages synaptic installed with it?? [02:28] does anyone know what I can do to mount this device? [02:28] patapouf, BslBryan , ATI's "official stance" at this time, is- unsupported til late june [02:28] Cloudef: Try this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/mouse-unwanted-double-click-241123/ [02:28] Chiggins: use wlconfig again [02:29] BslBryan: Thanks, ill check it out and report how it is [02:29] Chiggins: use iwconfig again [02:29] Cloudef: awesome. [02:29] anyone??? [02:29] BslBryan, i have 6 test machines side-by-side, 5 have ati, 1 has nvidia, the nvidia blows them al away [02:29] RHorse - will do when i get in ubuntu [02:29] SeaPhor, then I guess we gonna have some improvement in next Ubuntu release ... [02:29] cypha, use synaptic [02:29] how can i remove all the packages synatpic installed with xmms2 [02:29] i did use synaptic [02:29] *all [02:29] SeaPhor: Yeah, I love nVIDIA cards, while sometimes they are hard to configure with Linux. [02:29] it installed xmms2-core and some other stuff too though [02:29] I have an NVIDIA Geforce card. [02:30] cypha: did they show up for autoremoval? [02:30] no [02:30] and i chose to "completely remove" [02:30] SeaPhor, how is it ati is allowed to drop support for their cards that fast? [02:30] BslBryan: I dont use XF86, i use Xorg xD [02:30] SeaPhor, it makes consumers purchase new ones [02:30] but when i opened synaptic back up, xmms2-core was still installed [02:30] I have multiple NIC's in the pc . one is a pci tulip based linksys 10./100 nc100 it does not show up in lspci... how do I get it to show up and get a dhcp address? [02:30] Cloudef: Back to the googling board. :-) [02:30] hey guys [02:31] how can i fix a VLC frame drag problem, all file's have framedrag/bleeding on scene change and on fast forwarde/rewind, totem movie player does not have the problem. [02:31] cypha: try apt-get autoremove xmms2-core [02:31] cypha: in a terminal [02:31] cabrey, its only the "Linux" that they do, [02:31] i reinstalled xmms2 to see what can be done [02:31] so autoremove xmms2? [02:31] cabrey, and then only with compiz enabled [02:31] SeaPhor, I know thats my point. some people who have relatively new ati cards were pissed when they found out [02:31] cypha: yeah, see what happens.. [02:32] how do I find the driver for my NIC ? [02:32] hanasaki: it's probably already installed [02:32] m0biu5: worked! [02:32] thanks [02:32] now i'll try audacious [02:32] xmms2 sucked [02:32] ok...second question [02:33] cypha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:33] when i adjust the volume from my keyboard...i see the volume adjusting thing on the top right [02:33] Cloudef: Run this in a terminal and see if a single click acts as a double click. This command will test to see if your touchpad is just failing. [02:33] but the volume doesn'ta ctually change [02:33] xev [02:33] cabrey, BslBryan , to make it even worse, HP is going with SLED.... [02:33] fryguy: doesn't show up in lspci and ifconfig doesn't show the eth... what can I do? [02:33] even though the bar deminishes [02:33] how/where can i change the 'input methods' under gnome? im-switch says my default is SCIM but most programs seem to use System (X input Method) by default [02:34] hanasaki: is it onboard? is it enabled in the bios? If it doesn't show up in lspci then there is nothing linux can do about it. [02:34] BslBryan: What am i supposed to do when running the command? [02:34] SeaPhor: At least HP is getting away from its Windows bias. [02:34] Cloudef: Click. [02:34] fryguy: the onboard works fine it's a SIS... this is a pci I bought for a 2nd NIC [02:34] anyone like xfce? [02:34] fryguy: the link lights are on [02:34] SCIM is EVIL and shoud just DIE! and develop a different app... [02:34] any idea where I can get some nice almost plain colour wallpapers, four different colours? [02:34] cypha: hmm, well there are multiple levels usually.. right click on the volume and watch all of the bars to see what changes with keyboard input [02:34] SeaPhor, i still think its a lawsuit waiting to happen [02:34] hanasaki: pastebin lspci -vvv then [02:35] When moving mouse and clicking [02:35] catellar: I will make you a transparent background, and you can change your background to any color you want whenever you want. [02:35] BslBryan: I get double click event [02:35] !pastebin [02:35] 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 | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [02:35] catellar: start a chat with me, and give me your email address. [02:35] Cloudef: Even though you've only clicked once? [02:36] BslBryan: Yes [02:36] fryguy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/193126/ [02:36] Cloudef: This is a sign of a failing mouse. You might want to try another driver, because that may be the problem, as I really don't think your mouse is failing.... Highly unlikely. [02:37] BslBryan: Yes, it worked fine before HAL implentation [02:37] BslBryan: How can i try other drivers for my mouse? [02:37] Cloudef: Actually, wait, I may have found a problem. [02:37] hanasaki: are you sure te card is seated correctly? if it doesn't show up in lspci then it's a hardware issue [02:37] Or, solution, rather. :-) [02:37] Ok lets see =) [02:37] fryguy: the sis190 works .. that is on the motherboard.... the other is a nc100 [02:38] anyone know of any html5 based browsers? [02:38] m0biu5: nothing changes [02:38] it was working yesterday [02:38] so taht's weird [02:38] fry.. I am sure. it is an old card I had in another box ages ago. it worked [02:38] if anyone use cups-pdf here? [02:38] hey [02:38] what? [02:38] fryguy: [02:39] hanasaki: if it's not listed in lspci then it's a hardware problem [02:39] fryguy: could it be a conflict between the onboard and the nic pci? although I tried deactivating the onboard in bios and got the same bad results [02:39] hanasaki: no [02:39] Cloudef: I'm afraid I can't find anything. This is getting annoying, and I'm not even the one with the problem. [02:40] hanasaki: just take the card out and put it back in (maybe in a different slot) [02:40] anyone here can help me? [02:40] what? [02:40] fryguy: I tried both slots :( how many notches in a pci card connector? [02:40] anyone know of any html5 based/capable browsers? [02:40] gartral: the html5 spec isn't done yet, so good luck finding anything usable [02:40] hanasaki: one [02:40] BslBryan: Yeah it is not your fault, i wonder if i could revert back to Xorg Mouse settings === SmithK is now known as SmithKuoraski === SmithKuoraski is now known as SmithKuroaski [02:41] BslBryan: The problem is afterall that HAL misconfigures my mouse [02:41] Cloudef: What do you mean? [02:41] fryguy: im looking for *any* rendering capability [02:41] gartral: and fryguy the motherboard has one notch... the cards each have two [02:41] if anyone use cups-pdf here? [02:41] Whats that [02:41] 0_o [02:41] ^ that shit sucks [02:41] how can i create and configure users for vsftp: [02:41] hanasaki: are the cards longer or shorter than the slot? [02:41] oops [02:42] BslBryan: My mouse settings in Xorg.conf are commented and there is text that we are using HAL for detecting settings nowon [02:42] !ohmy [02:42] !ohmy > cabrey [02:42] cabrey, please see my private message [02:42] 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. [02:42] VSFTP? [02:42] gartral: they are both the exact length .. just the extra notch [02:42] Cloudef: Yeah, try uncommenting them. [02:42] BslBryan: I've tried but no change :( [02:42] anyone know how I can get the volume control on my keyboard to actually control the volume? it worked yesterday [02:42] do any of you know how to insatall yuor computer drivers on linux? [02:42] not sure why it stopped [02:42] i'm trying to configure sensord to decrease the logging frequency since it is flooding my syslog. in the docs it says there's a config file, sensors.conf but it seems that is just to configure the chips being observed, who do i configure the frequency? there's a command line switch for that but i don't want to have to change the startup command since this is something probably done better with a config file [02:42] Cloudef: X needs to be restarted before the change will be implemented. [02:42] BslBryan: I know :P [02:42] ignascio: what driver are you trying to do [02:43] how ? [02:43] Cloudef: Sorry. :-) [02:43] all of them [02:43] RHorse - there was no such command as wlconfig, and taking the card out and ploping it back in did nothing [02:43] if its posible [02:43] hi everybody can someone please help me learn how to tie this php script together with mysql http://pastebin.com/m4e2bb294 [02:43] BslBryan: Well i guess i have to wait until Dev team fixes this, there is launchpad bug about this issue with cordless logitech mouse [02:43] gartral: here is the pic https://www.superclearance.com/shop/product_image.php?imageid=696 [02:43] BslBryan: They said they gonna fix this with information provided [02:43] i cant figure how to connect to mysql and insert the output info :( [02:43] Chiggins: the command is iwconfig. [02:43] mysoogal: ##php [02:43] thx [02:43] BslBryan: Until that i have to buy new mouse or just bear with it [02:44] Cloudef: Well, at least it's a bug report! That means it will soon be fixed. [02:44] so how do insatll them [02:44] BslBryan: Yeah :P Ubuntu tends to get updates fast [02:44] RHorse - you typed wlconfig... i copied and pasted what you said :p [02:44] Cloudef: I've enjoyed speaking with you, do you have a Launchpad account or wiki page? [02:44] Chiggins: I know, but then I corrected myself. Check it out when you have a chance. [02:45] hanasaki: that looks like a reversable card... why they would make a reversable nic card is beyond me.. [02:45] Cloudef: Nope i dont have [02:45] RHorse - Alright, going back to linux now [02:45] hi, my mouse won't work anymore in ubuntu 8.04 . ??? [02:45] Cloudef: Ah. Oh well. :-) [02:45] gartral: what is reversable? [02:45] BslBryan: I have blog tho [02:45] :) [02:45] anyone using sensord? [02:45] Cloudef: Link? [02:45] BslBryan: www.headerfile.net [02:46] remember once, it happened, and since i had a back up of a conf file, just replaced it, and everything was fine [02:46] ?? [02:46] but don't remember..xorg.conf or ?? [02:46] what is a reversable pci card for? [02:46] Can someone help me install my wlan card? [02:47] does anyone know the difference between the 8.04 regular releaseand the mini standard edition? [02:47] BslBryan: The blog is mainly about my Project and learnings of C++ [02:47] Cloudef: That project is awesome. :-) [02:48] who said knows how drivers are insatleed [02:48] I would actually suggest becoming active on Launchpad, and starting a project. I'd like to be involved. [02:48] BslBryan: I'm reverse-engineering MapleStory so when the media is extracted and converted trough my "Compiler" you will have Client with Maplestory media [02:48] can smoeone help me with keyboard volume control???????????? [02:48] qcjn, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:48] BslBryan: I do also the server [02:48] hanasaki: if that's what that card is, it's a special PCI hardware that can be "turned around" to make internal plugs through pci [02:49] ctmjr, so it has to do with the mouse ?? [02:49] ctmjr, well it can [02:49] Anyway, getting late. Bye, everyone. :-) [02:49] BslBryan: Bye [02:49] any knows how to install drivers on ubuntu linux? [02:49] hola [02:50] !es [02:50] 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. [02:50] #ubuntu-br [02:50] alguien con ganas de hablar de tecnologia [02:50] ? [02:50] gartral: hmm interesting... seems I am out of luck? [02:50] g === defaultuser is now known as Gnaritas [02:50] hi, someone could help me with a problem in the sound of system? [02:51] no one? [02:51] could some one help me to install my drivers? please [02:51] ctmjr, i have a xorg back up of the feb 14 2009 [02:51] !sound [02:51] 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).

[02:54] !BCM4381 [02:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about BCM4381 [02:54] none are working, although i can hear with no problems mp3 and videos [02:54] suika-san: what(dont) you hear? [02:55] !BCM4318 [02:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about BCM4318 [02:55] gartral, i hear everything fine in ubuntu, but the sound that makes when a window is closing or the login sound dont come up [02:55] suika-san: go to system>Preferences>Sounds and make sure all the audio devices ar set to the same thing [02:56] mdg, have you got ALL updates and enabled the restricted drivers? [02:56] gartral, they are already set to use alsa [02:56] suika-san: make sure there set too the same device, trust me, that window isnt a mixer [02:56] Got a bit of an issue here. Can't boot into Ubuntu on a dualboot machine.. update the kernel some time ago, and now it won't boot.. tells me uuid xxx not found, drops to busybox. [02:56] iirc, there is a system sounds toggle somewhere. anyone? [02:57] gartral, all to alsa and using realtek alc 883 (my soundcard [02:57] I've tried the grub command line and setup (hd0,2) -> no go. Tried supergrubdisk. -> same. [02:57] suika-san: ok, one sec [02:57] gartral, np [02:58] does anyone know the difference between the 8.04 regular releaseand the mini standard edition? [02:58] I'm at a bit of a loss.. no live cd to boot into.. anyone got an suggestions? === rachel is now known as Guest16171 [02:58] suika-san, in the sound preferences you should have 2 taps one for sound and one for pref click the sound one and make sure the boxes are checked [02:59] download a livecd? [02:59] ctmjr, those are all checked... [02:59] suika-san: same window, go into your sounds tab and make sure you have sounds set for actions (Ubuntu 9.04 ships with most of these turned off) [02:59] carpii: I'm talking about fixing grub.. no cdr's here.. shouldn't _need_ to boot off livecd.. [03:00] gartral, all boxes are checked. i'm trying to use alternative sounds to each action [03:00] ok, well i hadnt been following your full conversation :) [03:00] RHorse - i ran the command, i got no wireless extensions for eth0, eth1, and lo [03:00] suika-san: ohh... are the wavs or oggs? [03:00] gartral, sry, i forgot to say that i'm using intrepid [03:00] not got a 4G usb stick you can use ? [03:00] gartral, .wav, theres a difference in using ogg or wav:?? [03:00] mintyfresh: not sure about your problem, but make sure the UUID that grub is asking about exists. I'd boot it with the Live CD, then run blkid to look for the UUID. [03:00] i agree, you shouldnt need to, but hey, thats life [03:01] suika-san: same question... are they Wav.. or Ogg Vorbis sound bytes? [03:01] gartral, wav [03:01] mintyfresh: any live CD will work, btw [03:01] gartral: theres some problem with wav?? [03:01] suika-san: they need too be Ogg Vorbis in Gnome for some reason [03:01] suika-san,ok go to system precedences/sessions and start up programs make sure the gnome login sound is enabled [03:01] bc: Can't boot off livedcd. No media available. And system doesn't boot off usb. tried supergrubdisk, no go. [03:01] Chiggins: rephrase your question to reflect that your wireless card is not detected and use the lspci and ifconfig pastebin results. I don't know how to fix this. [03:02] gartral: serious? oh man... i'm trying to use the mac osx theme for ubuntu and they come with wav only [03:02] mintyfresh: how far does grub get? [03:02] *preferences [03:02] ctmjr, they are already enabled =D i did some research before coming here [03:02] RHorse well the drivers are showing up as restricted, could that be something? [03:02] suika-san: technically.. no, not at all... but gnome is 'tarded when it come's to wav... but its easy enough to encode with wav2ogg [03:02] bc: Bombs at busy box, can't find partition. [03:03] ctmjr, i would be a lazy if didnt any research [03:03] gartral, that is the name of the package? [03:03] When doing things process intensive such as joining movies that are 500+ meg using cat, I get other applications that I'm trying to use to become gray and unusable for periods of approximately 10 seconds or so. I've only noticed with Ubuntu 9.04, and no previous versions. Any ideas? [03:03] suika-san: sorry, oggenc [03:03] how can I get a newer version of libexo than is in synaptic? apparently there exists a 0.3.4, but synaptic only has 0.3.1 [03:03] bc: However, from grub commandline setup (hd0) does seem to work, at least it reports back positively. [03:03] Chiggins: restircted means they are not open source. You can try reverting to open source drivers, but I don't know the procedure. Sorry! [03:04] mintyfresh: see if blkid is available in busybox prompt. maybe do a df from there, make sure the disks are there, then perhaps see if you can edit the menu.list manually [03:04] hey. all of the intrcutions i've seen point to 'system > administration > hardware drivers' but i don't have the hardware drivers in my menu. how can i fix that? [03:04] gartral, aptitude didnt find nothing with this name [03:04] mintyfresh: Can edit menu.1st from Windows, not a problem. [03:04] suika-san: oggenc is installed by default... type oggenc --help into a console [03:04] gartral, but if the problem is only with wav 90% of my questions are answered [03:04] Hey folks quick question. Been searching around online, seeing a lot of folks having performance issues w/ Ubuntu 9.04 OOTB. I had the same, went to 8.10 w/ the latest Kernel, worked flawless. Came back to 9.04, 2.6.28-11-generic , noticing the same again (this time w/ Ext4 FS). Anyone noticing anything similar? [03:05] gartral, =p sry, im still newbie to linux... [03:05] gartral, let me try that [03:05] * altf2o running under a minimal workload also. (Ex: Firefox3, Chat, MP3 playing, etc...) [03:05] Chiggins: or you can try the winduhs drivers with ndiswrapper [03:05] !ndiswrapper [03:05] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:05] gartral, command not found [03:05] gartral, may i install vorbis-tools? [03:05] bc, sorry. Can edit menu.1st from windows. [03:06] after updating to a new kernel such as 2.6.30 do I have to run any commands to update drivers (such as modprobe -a)? [03:06] suika-san: yea, I forgot, your on 8.10 [03:06] mintyfresh: you can maybe get around the uuid problem temporarily by addressing the /dev/*d* directly instead of using the UUID [03:06] gartral is worhty upgrading to jacky? [03:06] mintyfresh: so long as you know the boot device and partition [03:07] bc: Yeah, tried that also.. syntax is root=/dev/hdaX, no? [03:07] RHorse - where do i go from there [03:07] suika-san: it's Jaunty.. and no.. if anything, I can recommend a Downgrade to 8.04.2 [03:07] folks, i just got an asus eee 901. I am running the eebuntu 3.0 live (not installed just off the usb). What do i need to do to get wireless working. I have lots of experiance with wired networking but NONE with wireless. I see that the module rt2860sta is loaded, but what am i looking for in /dev? [03:08] mintyfresh: mine -> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=4d3f5d35-6278-4538-a998-fd21590972e0 ro quiet splash [03:08] Has anyone tried upgrading 8.04 from 9.04 using apt? is it usable? Or should I stick with 8.04.2? I'm completely new to linux but a "windows power user" [03:08] suika-san: Jaunty is... a fun OS to configure... and I'm using Fun as a geek term [03:08] hey. all of the intrcutions i've seen point to 'system > administration > hardware drivers' but i don't have the hardware drivers in my menu. how can i fix that? [03:08] gartral, oops... sry for the mistake. 8.04.2 is more stable than intrepid? [03:08] mintyfresh: assign the drive to root instead of the UUID [03:08] Chiggins: it's unusual to have a complete failure to detect hw, but it does occur with some systems. Ask here or do a search on google. Sorry can't be of more help. [03:08] After a kernel update do I need to run a command to update drivers (such as modprobe -a)? [03:08] mintyfresh: if there is a uuid live above it, comment it out [03:08] gartral, XD i do like to have fun on a geek term also, but i still dont know much about it to be sooooo fun [03:08] suika-san: yes, much... much more than intrepid, and So is Jaunty, but I won't recommend a newbie pick up Jaunty [03:08] mintyfresh: s/live/line/ [03:08] bc: Sure, do I'd do a root=/dev/hda2 for example? [03:09] *so [03:09] When doing things process intensive such as joining movies that are 500+ meg using cat, I get other applications that I'm trying to use to become gray and unusable for periods of approximately 10 seconds or so. I've only noticed with Ubuntu 9.04, and no previous versions. Any ideas? [03:09] ahh, according to ifconfig -a ra0 is loaded. I have my wirless security turnned off on my router to make this easier. I have the "editing wireless connectoin" dialog up, i'm just not sure what to do with it [03:09] Chiggins: also if you have usenet, try alt.os.linux.ubuntu [03:09] mintyfresh: looks right if that is the partition /boot is on [03:09] any help would be appreciated [03:09] JM: from what i've seen after running your 'dpkg -i ....' commands to install the image *.deb and headers *.deb, a reboot will suffice. [03:09] gartral, good to know... maybe i stick with intrepid since i'm afraid about everything going down again downgrading [03:10] mind you i've always copied over the default .config into my new kernel and built from there. If you tweaked a lot something more may be needed. [03:10] altf2o: thanks, is that only for ubuntu or do other distros require you to do something else? [03:10] mintyfresh: you can edit boot stanzas in the grub boot menu, too, by the why. the e key over a line will let you edit and experiment until you get it to boot [03:10] http://boostmyworld.wordpress.com/2009/05/30/how-to-fix-that-skype-on-ubuntu-9-04-got-no-sound/ [03:10] is that recommended? [03:10] please hilight me [03:10] bc: Third partition on the drive, so that _should_ be hda2.. however, I've tried via guesswork hda2, sda2.. no go.. anyway I can grab the actual partition name somewhere? [03:10] i mean i don't knwo what an ssid or a bsid is. I've looked aroudn the web for pointers. [03:10] hey. all of the intrcutions i've seen point to 'system > administration > hardware drivers' but i don't have the hardware drivers in my menu. how can i fix that? Or where can i find the hardware drivers gui thingy [03:11] mintyfresh: IIRC 'e' will not save it though, so maybe remember what you type (if boot then works) [03:11] cypha: I would not recommend that [03:11] bc: And, yes, I've been experimenting for the last couple of hours :/ [03:11] k [03:11] but i can't get sound working in skype [03:11] JM: other distro may vary. If you've built something as a module and haven't set it to auto load, you'd likely have to modprob it. From what i've seen however, that's usually only required if you're adding modules to a running kernel. [03:11] i have sound out as DEfault Device, but it doesn't work [03:11] I installed ubuntu on a second hard drive in my computer, with vista on the other, and now when I boot I get grub error 21. the vista drive is set to boot first because my bios won't let me change the boot order [03:11] i also tried every other device that was listed [03:11] thanks again :) [03:11] i only use Ubuntu now adays, so i'm honestly not to up to date on what others use. [03:11] cypha: try Gizmo! [03:11] mintyfresh: ah. well can you mount the disk from busybox and poke around? (I don't know) [03:11] what's that? [03:12] cypha: a more open VOiP client, compatable with Skype nets [03:12] ? [03:12] mintyfresh: No, don't think so. I can poke around from windows with ext2/3 driver. [03:12] so i can make calls to phones with my skype account through gizmo? [03:12] gartral, thanks for all, i will try your suggestion [03:12] because i've already paid skype [03:12] rainwalker1: if the goal is to get back into Vista, booting w/ your Vista CD (IIRC) will allow you to restore the boot sector. As far as the Grub error 21, you may be able to repair that w/ a live Ubuntu CD, perhaps someone can chime on on that. [03:12] plus my buddy list on there [03:13] gartral, and sry to bother [03:13] bc: Anywhere I can look for an actual drive name? /etc/fstab or somewhere else? [03:13] cypha: correct, and Gizmo has it's own side network [03:13] mintyfresh: is /boot on a seperate partition? if not then it's what ever partition / is [03:13] suika-san: no bother.. its more bothersome when your computer doesnt work [03:13] altf2o: I want to be able to choose which OS to boot at at startup, even though they're on separate drives. I'll try using the vista disc, but I know nothing about repairing error 21 with the live cd (which I'm on now) [03:14] can i use all of skype's features? [03:14] like setting my profile [03:14] bc: One main partition, 1 swap. (And 2 preceding win partitions) [03:14] and my profile message [03:14] mintyfresh: grub passes off to the kernel, so grub uses different syntax hd(0,0) etc [03:14] Chiggins: you still there? [03:14] rainwalker1: this may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 [03:14] bc: Sure. I defo know the partition's on (hd0,2) [03:14] mintyfresh: also make sure you don't have a bunch of drives connected [03:15] gartral, good to know! it was a silly thing to fix but it was bugging me [03:15] i'd save the vista restoration for a last resort, as it will most likely result in you having to reinstall Ubuntu. [03:15] cypha: did you try http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#Skype ? [03:15] mintyfresh: UUID is supposed to solve the 'many confusing drives' issue.. which is sort of a problem in this case :P [03:15] bc: Nope, just the single partitioned drive here. [03:16] suika-san: that's ok... try putting a second sound card in your coputer! real fun starts then! [03:16] bc: Odd thing is, all was working fine until a kernel update some time ago. Then it all went bad. [03:16] Hey, what's a nice, lightwieght DE? I'm using gnome right now, but I think I would like to try a lighter one. I really like the little black box in the corner, though. Is that part of gnome? [03:16] mintyfresh: cat /etc/fstab (or however you would do that from Windows) and see if it mentions the UUID, and see if it's the same UUID grub is complaining about [03:16] where's the config file for logrotate that takes care of syslog or user.log? i dont see any directive in /etc/logrotate.conf or anywhere in /etc/logrotate.d/ [03:16] * gartral needs new paws [03:16] bc: Think I did that already.. let me check again. [03:16] mintyfresh: if not the same, then take the UUID from fstab and edit menu.list [03:16] lakotajames: I love fluxbox. But there's also jwm, blackbox, xfce, and others [03:17] hi, i can't load make jsp sites in firefox ubuntu work properly :( [03:17] gartral, not enough money to spend on my pc lately... the only soundcard offline i could buy is those usb ones [03:17] gartral, =( [03:17] !jsp [03:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about jsp [03:17] RHorse: does that little notification thing in the corner work with flux box? [03:17] suika-san: that would make life easier... [03:18] RHorse - yeah sorry. i had to run somewhere.... ill try on a forum i go to and see if anyone there knows [03:18] dsdeiz:http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp ? [03:18] looking at it now lstarnes [03:18] lakotajames: fluxbox will run most dock apps. See here: dockapps.org. [03:18] lxde is a light de i think [03:18] gartral, those aren't crappy:?? [03:18] isn't fluxbox a wm? [03:19] I've just logged into my friends live cd to help recover his grub boot info, he accidentally said yes to a question about lilo while upgrading to jaunty yesterday... now he gets a blank screen after the grub boot menu [03:19] anyone know how gedit decides what file types to display in file browser pane? (not hidden files toggle) [03:19] Hi, can anyone assist me in setting up wireless on my other computer? [03:19] RHorse: I don't mean the dock like in osx. I can go without that. I mean the notification applet. [03:19] hi...when I try to install something, NOT using the Synaptic Manager...I get no where...what would I be doing wrong? [03:19] if someone is good at boot recovery, I've downloaded and run athe boot_info_script032.sh off sourceforge.net so i have pages of good info [03:20] I am looking for somebody that could help me to see if my dial up server is working [03:20] Im just trying to remember how to write the boot part to the root drive [03:20] Chiggins: just for heck of it try sudo iwconfig eth0 and sudo iwconfig eth1. It looks like you have 2 ethernet connections, which is weird. [03:20] TimReichhart: dialup? are you making an ISP? [03:21] RHorse - will do, but i gotta head out. is there any way i can message you tomorrow, or will you still be here [03:21] im not making a isp its just a dial up server so when I leave home I can use free dial up there gartral [03:22] bc: uuid seems correct, according to fstab. [03:22] hi all [03:23] so do i have any takers to test this thing out [03:23] Chiggins: tomorrow and Fri I can't be on, except for an hour or so from 0530 UTC [03:23] TimReichhart: is your home connection dial up, or a "High speed"? [03:23] Anyone able to get tethering workig with G1 [03:23] my home connection is high speed [03:23] should I type "gksudo nautilus" or "sudo nautilus" to copy a file from one user to another? [03:23] there gartral [03:23] RHorse - alright ill try to stop by... thanks mucho! peace [03:24] TimReichhart: ok, just doing a sanity check... but I'm afraid actuial modems are a dying breed, noneof my systems have one [03:24] Cry__Baby: nautilus is graphical, so use gksudo [03:25] mintyfresh: is vol_id available in busybox? [03:25] lstarnes: what does gksudo do that sudo wont? [03:25] !gksudo [03:25] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:25] cry_bnot break your configs [03:25] Cry__Baby: it handles the environment differently for the correct operation of graphical programs [03:25] Cry__Baby: not break your configs [03:25] lstarnes: yes thanks :) [03:26] bc: Couldn't tell you offhand, I'd need to reboot this box. [03:26] gartral: ok [03:26] gksudo when using nautilus, got it :) [03:26] what is the xorg graphical config tool? For some reason X is not giving me the max resolution i can have. It's only letting me have 1024x768 when it should let me have up to 1920x1080 [03:26] Slade: grandr or xrandr [03:26] Slade: what GFX card do you use? [03:27] whats the command for running a command from the terminal window? [03:27] gardar, intel 3500 series card. it's onboard [03:27] mintyfresh: check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=891378 [03:28] hi [03:28] can i ask u something? [03:28] mintyfresh: looks like he didn't solve it, but it lists some things to check. [03:28] bc: Thanks,. looking. [03:28] i have ubuntu server here [03:28] and i have 2 wireless driver.madwifi and ath5k [03:29] I have a question about IT, hoping someone could help me [03:29] how to select ath5k driver whenever my ubuntu box reboot? [03:29] using modprobe? [03:29] what is you lspci wanna_learn_more = [03:29] I'm a programmer, just don't know the details of server software [03:29] Anis1201: #ubuntu-offtopic may be a better place to ask if its not Ubuntu support related. [03:29] it is ubuntu related cause I'm running it on a Ubuntu VPS [03:29] Borre-go:both of them already working well [03:29] Hi all, I have a problem with my wireless access. I have tried the on-board adapter and also a card adapter and both will only connect at 1mbs. From my home network, to work and public wireless. Any ideas ? [03:30] Borre-go:but i want to know how to choose ath5k? [03:30] Borre-go:usually after boot i choose modprobe ath5k or modprobe ath_pci(madwifi) [03:30] mmmm just put the wrong card in the black list wanna_learn_more! [03:31] Borre-go:i already do that [03:31] Borre-go:the driver on linux is ath5k.ko? [03:31] anyone have any ideas how i can configure X to use that high resolution? xrandr is only going up to 1280x768. In windows it can do 1980x1080 @ 60 Hz [03:31] mmmmm [03:31] I own a Ubuntu VPS and a domain name, and I need to provide each subdomain of my domain with a webmin control panel [03:31] is that possible? [03:31] kinardo, just type the command [03:31] wanna_learn_more usualy is wl.ko [03:31] Borre-go:i want to load ar5212.ko (wireless from mikrotik) to my ubuntu.i just want to try it [03:32] i tried depmod ar5212.ko it works well..after that what should i do? [03:32] mmmm [03:32] <``y7> i'm installing security cams at my house and most of the cams come with compatible software for windows. is there any ubuntu application that exists that will allow me to run 9 cams and do all the additional security stuff too? [03:32] bc: Thanks for your help, going to try a reboot shortly after I've read some more forums., [03:32] would BSSID be the LAN/WLAN mac address of my router? [03:32] what's linux mint? [03:32] distro? [03:32] mintyfresh: wish I had a straighforward solution :( [03:32] Sarago: yes [03:32] !mint [03:32] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) [03:32] Borre-go:or should i use gcc ? [03:33] hi. i have my my own recompiled version of libgphoto2. how do I instruct synaptic/apt-get to never try to update it? I tried "Force version", but still when I click mark for upgrade, it wants to upgrade it. [03:33] Borre-go:its kinda confusing my friend :) [03:33] !mintsupport [03:33] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [03:34] Also, I tried "Lock version" with same result [03:34] lets me see the onli want you need to do is turn off a wl card and activate the other one isnt? [03:34] merther: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSSID#Basic_service_set_identifier [03:35] Borre-go:its already turned off.as u said i do blacklist ath-pci and ath5k at /etc/modprobe.conf and my i tried lsmod and my wireless isnt loaded yet [03:35] * Slade frowns [03:35] Borre-go:i just wanna to load ar5212.ko that i get from mikrotik... [03:35] I'll read that. My computer refuses to connect to the router. [03:36] merther: the answer would be 'yes' [03:36] ls [03:37] can anyone point me to a package manager howto for php and nginx? [03:37] in hardy "| [03:37] anyone know how gedit decides what file types to display in file browser pane? (not hidden files toggle) [03:38] I keep trying to install ubuntu onto my laptop and no matter what I do it never installs a wireless interface. It detects the correct hardware, installs, and activates the driver but there is never an interface that's created. [03:38] I can copy to the clipboard with 'xclip -selection clipboard << http://sunoano.name/ws/public_xhtml/debian_notes_cheat_sheets.html <-- nice site [03:39] when I manually put all the information into the network connections area it then sees the wireless network but refuses to connect even with no authentication. [03:39] borre-go:still there? [03:39] it's Debian but well :) [03:42] ahh, found it, thank god thats been bugging me [03:42] FYI, the windows root directions work in virtualbox running on ubuntu 9.04 [03:42] don't know if anyone else has tested or not, but I just did it [03:43] hi people! any skype video recorders under linux?? [03:43] hey anyone know of an alternative to evolution & thunderbird (feature rich) ?.. if not i'm satisfied, just curious. === PuKa is now known as LaZyFo0L [03:45] hey does anyone know how to get a controller applet for rhythmbox? [03:46] !backup [03:46] There are many ways to back your system up.

[03:48] wpa_supplicant is installed but doesn't seem to be enabled, how would I do that? [03:48] you wouldnt [03:49] dublued, 2.6.30 was released two days ago, i doubt you'll find a deb package for it, the only way to install it is to compile it yourself which i'll advise against if you need a howto for that, you'll most likely mess it up === chaky_ is now known as chaky [03:50] then it's failing to authenticate me to the router [03:50] does anyone know how to get an applet for rhythmbox to control it from the panel? [03:50] what exactly is /var/log/messages?

[03:53] I could hide the panel and the kid would be left with the given icons... [03:53] hi guys. what's the best way to share the printer attached via usb to an ubuntu machine on a mixed network (windows & linuces) ? [03:53] TroN-0074, Perhaps this will help: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 (assuming your error is a grub error) [03:54] hoo-hah: cups + samba [03:54] thanks I will give it a look [03:54] Joker_-_: both wouldn't be installed by default, would they? [03:54] hoo-hah: in fact, i belive both are [03:55] Joker_-_: have you implemented this in the past? [03:55] hoo-hah: mostly everytime I re-installed a system needing mixed shares [03:55] Is anyone able to reach us.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com or eu.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com? [03:56] Could someone help Laura4656545 with her Dynex wifi card? [03:56] Joker_-_, samba server is not installed by default [03:56] hoo-hah: lots and lots of howto tutorials are available with walk-trough... try to google "ubuntu jaunty cups samba" [03:56] And does anyone know of a URL that would allow one to check the status of the various Ubuntu servers? [03:56] I'm looking through a few, though there appears to be no easy gui-config option [03:56] I'm fine with manually tinkering with samba shares, but I wouldn't mind the convenience [03:57] Hello all. I have a quick question. I'm transitioning this machine over to Ubuntu, and I copied my personal files over from the Windows partition. Somehow it managed to bork up my permissions, giving everything "execute" permission. I need to clear that without messing with the execute status of the directories. How would I go about that? [03:57] Laura4656545: ?? are you here? [03:57] hoo-hah: sometimes a gui is more trouble, imo. Cups has a web based setup, very straight forward and easy to follow [03:57] im trying to uninstall a copy of vmware workstation 6.5 on jaunty. any suggestions on how to do since there is no uninstaller? [03:57] I am, was getting card type. It's a Dynex Enhanced Wireless G Desktop CardDX-EBDTC - card is working but can't connect. [03:58] hoo-hah: for samba, I'd suggest the web based interface aswell. it's called swat [03:58] Muffinator just reminded me: During Ubuntu install, it appears that it detects and migrates user profiles from Windows. Where are these exactly stored, and how would I deploy them? [03:58] Joker_-_: again, already installed with Ubuntu? [03:58] hoo-hah: s.w.a.t = Samba web Administration Tool [03:58] hoo-hah: installed alon with samba [03:58] * Xeon3D is off [03:58] *along [03:58] Laura4656545 is using Xubuntu 8.04 [03:58] Haven't used swat in a while since I last used Slackware [03:58] ogre_, there was an uninstaller last i checked, try vmware-uninstall === Xeon3D is now known as Xeon[Off] [03:59] hoo-hah: you might be talking about swaret.... [03:59] nope. swat [03:59] hoo-hah: swaret != swat [03:59] humk [03:59] yep. i know [03:59] Laura4656545 needs help troubleshooting her wifi connection in Xubuntu 8.04 [03:59] Does anyone know how long it takes for the latest release of a kernel to come through the autmatic updates? [03:59] well, not much changed. [03:59] hoo-hah: it worked, and it still works [04:00] dublued: as in 2.6.30? [04:00] hey all, i've lost my desktop (only, still have the panel) since last upgrade, please advise. . . [04:00] dublued, once released no major kernel updates are pushed into the repos [04:00] yes [04:00] dublued: you usually won't get a major updaye like that [04:00] *update [04:00] hoo-hah: A bit more tricky than cups but still very usable without much trouble [04:00] Joker_-_: I don't doubt it. I've come to realise that Ubuntu provides easier alternatives to past solutions to problems [04:00] Laura4656545: you may have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file [04:00] dublued: but patches are often released for the version of the linux kernel that you are using [04:00] I'm not good at that [04:00] hoo-hah: just remember to set the "deactivated" flag to "no"... or something like that [04:00] I guess I was looking for an Ubuntu-innovation, really [04:00] dublued, even ubuntu 9.10 uses 2.6.29 i believe, so you wont see 2.6.30 up until 10.04 [04:00] oh ok, so that means that the new kernel will be part of 9.10? [04:01] dublued: probably [04:01] got it... thanks for all the info [04:01] usser_: no luck with that. any other ideas? [04:01] hoo-hah: well, installation is simpler, most of the basic config is done... all you have to do is tailor it to your needs === miguel is now known as Guest48225 [04:01] ogre_, no luck as in it doesnt exist? === Guest48225 is now known as mIgUeLaNgEl [04:02] will there be a patch for the intel graphics 945 chipset or should i learn how to install the latest kernel === mIgUeLaNgEl is now known as mIgUeLaNgEl24 [04:02] ogre_, try find / -name *vmware* see what shows up, there's gotta be an uninstaller [04:02] can someone help me figure out how to fix this??? http://pastebin.ca/1456134 [04:02] hey all, i've lost my desktop (only, still have the panel) since last upgrade, please advise. . .

[04:02] Laura4656545: I need to head out [04:03] fireball: delete .gnome, .gnome2 and ?? directories in /home/user [04:03] Laura4656545: you many need to google /etc/network/interfaces setup [04:03] hoo-hah: most of the time, you can find everything just by doing "apt-cache search something" then "apt-get install found-thing" and voila [04:03] Flannel, are you in here right now?

Searched for about a week to find out that the problem came from that little 15$ unit... [04:12] ged^^, Do, "lsb_release -a" at the command prompt. [04:12] I can't seem to find the defrag program either [04:13] soulwarp, there is no need for defrag, viruses are very few and far between on linux [04:13] soulwarp: defrag and virus are virtually useless on linux [04:13] Oh cool! less work for me [04:13] nice!! thanks rob_p and fccf-sg [04:13] soulwarp, thats the idea [04:13] erm, virus are always useless... anyway...

It had vista on it :) [04:17] any good solution for watching hulu without the nonfree? [04:17] Joker_-_, That's fine. My 5yo does just fine with standard Ubuntu Desktop. [04:18] I enjoy the windows vista [04:18] Artemis3 rob_p fccf-sb: my choice of distro is pretty much made. I'd be more looking into a UI [04:18] I have a question about one of my Ubuntu boxes. I've had random problems with it. This is probably more hardware - but I'm not sure why this is happening. I have a system with two 500GB SATA hard drives. /home and /root are both on the same hard drive (but I believe I put them on separate partitions). [04:18] Anyone have any experience duel booting ubuntu and windows XP [04:18] soulwarp, then you are retarded [04:18] or an arrangement of icons... some applet, simple to use [04:19] Joker_-_, edubuntu is ubuntu with a couple of ui changes and packages [04:19] Joker_-_, I am talking about using a Virtual Machine on top of ubuntu - for the kid [04:19] dispatch, what's the problem? :) [04:19] gobbley: and you are mean [04:19] I uploaded a 500MB file through SFTP without a problem to /home/. When I ran the "mv" command to send it to /root, the system COMPLETELY locked up. Console, SSH, network, even the CAPS LOCK LIGHT stopped responding. I've had tons of problems with random lockups on this machine. Running FSCK on the hard drive shows that one is completely fine, the other, each partition says "recovering journal" but claims to have no bad sectors. Running fsck on bot [04:20] fccf-sb: yeah I read about that this afternoon... tey ship a .vdi... dunno. I don't think it's a good idea since there wont be anyone around to support the kid/laptop [04:20] fccf-sb: I want something very very straight forward and rock solid [04:20] hey all, deleted .gnome and .gnome2, no difference. pc still broke, please help [04:21] Hello all! How would I change the executable persons of all the files in a directory recursively unless it *is* a directory? [04:21] fccf-sb: I tought of xfce/ubuntu. now looking for some Icon manager [04:21] nautilus still dead, dolphin ok [04:21] fccf-sb: something simple. I might just end up using a panel [04:21] no desktop!!! [04:21] computer13137: have you tried running memtest86 to test for bad memory? and try running the drive manufacturers drive tests if you can [04:21] fccf-sb: A panel with a few icons on it.

I'd say for that age group - the kid should be using a full fleged os... perhaps you should look @themes .. they have some nice themes E17 would be another option - simple clean and intelligently designed [04:23] rob_p: oh sorry xsend [04:23] eipark: so you do the command as a super user: God, in a linux/geek/system rights view [04:23] ah so how do i do that? [04:23] computer13137: failing that you could try replacing IDE/SATA/SCSI cables (whichever applies) just to rule that out perhaps and running smart extended tests on the drives [04:23] command line? [04:24] fccf-sb: you've tried that on ubuntu 8.04?? or on other version of ubuntu? [04:24] fccf-sb: last time I tryed Enlightenment, it wasnt very stable [04:24] computer13137: sometimes with memtest you have to leave it running a good long time (sometimes 12+ hours) [04:24] fccf-sb: it's been about a year tho [04:24] ged^^, I run vmware server in Ubuntu 8.04LTS with 4 virtual machines on it.

[04:59] *requires [04:59] I thought the new one could work like partitoin magic [05:00] linux_trojan, yes ubuntu can partition your disk without erasing data [05:00] dublued, thanks. so all programs, printers, etc tayed intact then? === nicolas_ is now known as Guest7068 [05:00] jon5001: yeap everything worked just fine with all the new improvements [05:00] so how does the app run,in a virtual environment? [05:01] I'm having severe problems with logging in to 9.04 64 bit. [05:01] how would linux run inside the windows kernel?what about the bootstrap loader? [05:01] so if I have WIndows on a full disk, Ubuntu can push Windows over and make a partitions for / and /home ? [05:01] ok, even the desktop came back without prompting. [05:01] linux_trojan: yes [05:01] linux_trojan: you can use the ubuntu install disc on a hard drive that only has one partition (with windows installed). The ubuntu installer will partition the drive for you and install ubuntu on a new partition for you [05:01] Whenever I log in, it tells me there's something already running on the x server, and asks me to try then ext. [05:01] Any ideas as to what was causing the conflict? [05:01] if I hit yes, it just says the same thing [05:01] if I hit no, it goes back to login. [05:02] I installed Wubi, BUT, it appears that I have to reboot windows to access it? [05:02] linux_trojan: yes [05:02] dublued, thanks! zactly what i needed 2 know [05:02] essentially, I've got an error so bad, my system is essentially bricked. anyone got any advice? [05:02] linux_trojan, remember that it wont be as fast as a native install [05:02] sort of like LILO and only run either windows or ubuntu at one time, its not a Virtual Machine [05:02] linux_trojan, yes it uses the windows file system [05:03] Alien_FX_Fiend: wubi does not run inside windows, it just alters something in the windows boot proccess to add the option of booting itself instead from the same partition [05:03] linux_trojan: it's still somewhat within windows since ubuntu in wubi sees partitions as a file on the windows system's file system [05:03] oh i see well thanks for the info [05:04] Windows is too full of holes, FBI is harrassing me with internet attacks, bombarding me with packets, so I gotta get more bullet proof [05:04] dublued, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series thats the model [05:04] linux_trojan: I don't think the fbi would be dong that [05:04] haha [05:04] has anyone heard of tor.hu?can i use it to bypass a yahoo ipbanned account? [05:04] my father was in the FBI, you dont know these guys [05:04] linux_trojan: it's more likely some kid trying to scare you [05:04] linux_trojan: try unpluging your ethernet cord [05:04] I have an error that tells me the X server is already running on display :0. If I say yes, it tells me it's already running on display :1, and so on. If I say no, it goes back to logon. [05:05] also, linux_trojan, that honestly sounds a little paranoid. [05:05] they are all Freemasons, J Edgar Hoover was like 33 degree freemason [05:05] and homosexual [05:05] ooops shit this room is probably 90 percent that [05:05] well g2g [05:05] bye [05:06] i can't log into yahoo messenger,or pidgin for that matter i get a network reconnected error [05:06] well that was... odd [05:06] i tried many different clients still no luck i can only connect through yahoo webmessenger [05:06] ignore it, it was likely a troll [05:06] well, now that the conspiracy theory paranoia is out of the room, anyone got any solutions to my problem? [05:06] ryoushi19, what was it again? haha [05:06] ryoushi19: try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorf [05:07] oh, tried that [05:07] ryoushi19: er, -xorg, not -xorf [05:07] nvm i see it [05:07] yeah, tried the xserver-xorg thing [05:07] ryoushi19: what video card are you using? [05:07] that was the first thing I tried. didn't do anything. [05:07] i can't find a client that'll connect to yahoo [05:07] Nvidia 9500 PCIe [05:07] xorf the next generation of xorg [05:07] ryoushi19: do you have the proper drivers loaded? [05:07] yeah [05:07] it had been working for ages [05:08] it was since the last update that it went wrong. [05:08] i din't know how the conflict occured, but thanks for the help guys [05:08] ryoushi19: which version of ubuntu? [05:08] 9.04 64 bit edition [05:08] ryoushi19: check dmesg [05:08] problem with that === Kipas_Angin is now known as myphnix [05:08] mIgUeLaNgEl24: try installing compiz desktop manager and enable some effects to see if it works [05:08] I can't log in to TTY sessions either for some reason. [05:08] fireball, What ended up being the thing that allowed it to load? [05:09] I tried doing Ctrl+Alt+F1 [05:09] ryoushi19: what about recovery mode? [05:09] that works, but then I don't encounter the error. [05:09] My neighbor just gave me his old Pentium II 233Mgh with 32Mb RAM. I would like to do a Linux install. How can I find out what type of RAM I need to upgrade and how much would you recommend. I have 3 available slots. [05:09] fireball, I had stepped away from the computer for a few minutes... [05:09] ryoushi19: you might be able to fix it from there? [05:09] lol damn thats old [05:09] what command can i add to the ubuntu live cd kernel line in grub to temporarily turn off bluetooth [05:09] not sure, removing nautilus scripts by itself was not it. I've put all the extensions back and all seems ok now? [05:09] StevensUbuntuTr1, thats not a lot to work with, you can't use normal ubuntu on that, try damn small linux or puppy [05:09] I actually got a 100mhz pent 1 I found in a junk pile, haha [05:10] maybe. I tried an update, a dpkg reconfigure of gdm and xorg, etc, but none of that worked [05:10] StevensUbuntuTr1: It would depend on the motherboard. Find out what type of mobo you have, do a google search for it, and see what type of ram it takes and how much it can support [05:10] so I don't really know -how- I would fix it from there. [05:10] that's the problem. [05:10] Psychoholoic, got a 486 somewhere around here [05:10] ryoushi19: you could also check some of the logs in /var/log [05:10] mkay, I'll see where that goes and come back. [05:10] cabrey: damn small will work (barely) on a 486 [05:10] fireball, Strange. Oh well, glad your back up and running though. [05:10] lol there was a tandy out there too! [05:11] i think nautilus gksu was conflicting with nautilus scripts, but not sure. The problem appears to be gone, and the desktop back! Thanks for the help [05:11] they are all re-installed and everything seems ok [05:11] fireball, welcome [05:11] TheYeti: I opened the tower. How can I find out what type of mother board? Is there a serial number or something? [05:11] :) [05:11] this is what syslog.conf says about the action in a pair [05:11] A comma separated list of users. Selected messages are written to [05:11] those users if they are logged in. [05:11] anyone [05:11] HOW are they written?? [05:12] Hilikus: how are what written? [05:12] StevensUbuntuTr1: Yes, generally there is going to be a brand an type somewhere on the board. Usually located near either the cpu socket or the ram. Barring that there will be at least a serial number on it. If that fails you can at least check what type of ram is already in there. [05:12] huh, the problem is kinda back, no nautilus, but desktop is there [05:12] lstarnes those messages that are written say to me, how do i get those messages? how do i read them? [05:13] cause i thought it would jsut appear in my ssh console but it doesnt [05:13] so where do they go [05:13] Can anyone say if there is any significant benefit or downside to migrating from ext3 system installation to a ext4 installation for the average user? [05:13] linuxguy2009, there are noticable performance gains [05:13] Hilikus: I'm not exactly sure which messages you're talking about [05:13] linuxguy2009, for the average user ... don't do it [05:13] linuxguy2009, but if you already have ext3 don't bother going to ext4 until 9.10 [05:14] Hilikus: oh, wait [05:14] linuxguy2009: From what I have read of ext4 for the average user the only real benefit will be performance. otherwise I doubt you really will be running a system with a large enough volumne to need the increase to maximum file or disk size [05:14] gksu extension i think is the problem [05:14] syslog messages [05:14] from terminal yields this: (nautilus:7004): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported [05:14] say i configured daemon.alert to go to my user [05:14] Hilikus: thet would probably be sent to the first active real terminal that you're logged into [05:14] Hilikus: or possibly by the local mail [05:14] fireball, Did you add that extension or is it part of the normal package? [05:15] Hmm cool.Thanks guys. [05:15] lstarnes i tried mail, nothing. and the first thing you mentioned, would they just appear in the console? without any command to get them? just show up there? [05:15] Hilikus: yes [05:15] HELLO,EVERY GUYS. [05:15] Hilikus: I believe so [05:15] no, added. It's supposed to (used to) alow root access to a directory from the nautilus context menu [05:15] lstarnes would it have to be a local console or what? cause i'm ssh'd now and it doesnt appear [05:15] Hilikus: local [05:16] !caps > luyi [05:16] luyi, please see my private message [05:16] Hilikus: possibly one of the ones accessed with ctrl+alt+f[1-6] [05:16] fireball, Remove it then. Maybe an updated (less buggy) one will be available soon. [05:17] fireball, You may even find that the writer of that extension has an updated one available to address that issue.

[05:19] luyi, /join #ubuntu-cn [05:19] that's the Chinese help channel, yes [05:20] Hi, I have a HP g60 laptop (running kubuntu 9.04), it has an nvidia geforce 8200. The geforce has a max resolution of like 2500 something. But the highest resolution i can select is 1366x768. Is there anyway i can force a larger resolution? [05:20] RukusX: There is a free version gnash, but not sure about it's capability [05:20] RukusX: The same thing happens to me, but it takes more than one time to screw up [05:20] RukusX, what he is saying is that there is nothing we can do about flash [05:20] soreau, i dont think its a problem with flash itseld, the videos work. maybe its a problem with Pulse Audio? [05:20] max_789: that is the max panel resolution probably [05:20] max_789: How are you trying to change the resolution. Through the gnome display configurator or through the nvidia settings config? [05:20] i'm on ubuntu 8.10 and i can't find lirc in the repo where should i look??? [05:20] max_789: You can use the nvidia control panel thing to adjust resolutions for external displays [05:21] max_789: you should use the proprietary nvidia driver [05:21] I saw a way to convert v4l2 streams to v4l so that v4l2 devices would work with choosy programs. Anyone know what this is or a way to go about doing this? [05:21] !nvidia max_789 [05:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia max_789 [05:21] RukusX: No idea [05:21] oops [05:21] !nvidia | max_789 [05:21] max_789: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:21] TheYeti: Ive tried both ways, it always maxs out at 1366x786, [05:21] Cpudan80: i am using the nvidia driver [05:21] max_789, nvidia has their own tool [05:21] max_789, nvidia-settings [05:21] gotgnu: aptitude search lirc [05:21] lstarnes it didn't work, i tried tty6 and i didnt get anything [05:21] max_789: right right, and the nvidia settings thing wont let you change the res? [05:22] Hilikus: it's probably the lowest onw [05:22] max_789: you're not going to be able to change the panel res using any "normal" method [05:22] *one [05:22] how can i view bugs as firefox runs? [05:22] Cpudan80: It lets me change it, only from 300x600 up to 1366x768. [05:22] how can i view logs as firefox runs? [05:22] Hilikus: most messages probably go straight to the log files [05:22] RukusX, run FF from terminal [05:22] wahts the right question [05:22] ok [05:22] RukusX, & view logs [05:22] ok [05:22] max_789: right, the maximum resolution for the laptop's internal display is probably 1366x768 [05:22] max_789: Going higher than that could fry the panel, no fun [05:22] How can i find out if that is the max or not? [05:22] max_789, google your model [05:23] ok thanks [05:23] max_789, or look on your hp box [05:23] max_789: Have you ever ran another operating system on that machine? [05:23] 1366x768 is a very common widescreen laptop resolution [05:23] max_789, that actually sounds about right [05:23] soreau: noi havent [05:23] lstarnes: thanks I got it via aptiude...its weird that synaptic didn't show it [05:23] I'd put money on that being the max resolution [05:23] I know that the stock 8200 has a max resolution of 1900x1200 If this is a laptop it might be slightly lower though [05:23] max_789: Then it is very possible that's the max for the physical screen [05:24] anyone know how to loop a v4l2 to a v4l device so that pcky programs work with v4l2 devices? [05:24] max_789: Also, you can look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to view what resolutions X tried and denied [05:24] cabrey and soreau , update. sound start working again on open and close of firefox [05:24] intermittant problem arrrggghhhh\! [05:24] Oh, my flash slows down everything, when i use it in youtube for example. It lags, familiar problem to anyone? [05:24] close and open.. rather [05:24] max_789, that is the max res [05:24] http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01533413&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en [05:25] deleted all extensions again, problem nautilus still non-functioning, desktop ok [05:25] potsataja: latest version 10 of Adobe Flash installed in correct dir's? [05:25] lstarnes they do, but that's what i'm changing, i am changing the action to instead of dump it in a file, send it to me, but i dont get it anywere, i can't read those messages [05:25] RukusX, 32 or 64 bit? [05:26] cabrey, 32 bit [05:26] K, I got nothing [05:26] Hilikus: I'm not sure what to do then [05:26] RukusX, install epiphany-browser and see if that does the same thing [05:26] cabrey its very random [05:26] Well darn. [05:26] Thanks anyway guys [05:27] deleted nautilyus actions, things working again, but i thing something else completely is breaking it [05:27] Still the same error -Server already running on display :0, no helpful info from /var/log. [05:27] I may very well have the wrong channel but am hoping someone can tell me where I can get some help [05:28] oh, my firefox uses swfdec 0.8.2 instead, so i should probably uninstall it and install the newest adobe flash? [05:28] cabrey i will need to test over tonight and tomorrow. i cant replicate the problem as its random. [05:28] hey can someone help me out here. i am trying to unstall linux on my aspire one but when i restart with usb disk the boot menu never can find the usb disk [05:29] brianWeb: enter BIOS, and change it to boot from USB [05:29] i dont know how [05:29] brianWeb, change the boot order in your BIOS. Generally you start the BIOS by pressing a key indicated at the statup of the computer. Usually an F key. [05:29] i.e F1, F2, etc. [05:30] folks, i'm running eebuntu 2.0 and attempting to set up my wireless network. I have never set one up before but i've worked with wired networks *a lot*. When i booted this eepc in to windows this afternoon i was able to get a connection so i know that the module and my router works. [05:30] i just don't know what these parameters are. [05:30] what in the world is epihpany-browser? i lightened version of firefox?!?! [05:30] Bearcat, it isn't working? [05:30] RukusX: no, it's a different browser entirely [05:30] RukusX, a pure gtk browser [05:30] I made an edit to my /ect/apt/sources.list file and somehow the file is now empty I have no repositories in it does anyone know how I can fix it? [05:31] i like it [05:31] RukusX, use that for a while and see if it duplicates the problem [05:31] nope i don't. it does flash very poorly [05:31] Grm`Rpr: google is your friend [05:31] RukusX, worse than FF? [05:32] no wait its working now [05:32] just really butchered the eye candy for the website [05:32] RukusX, make a decision :P [05:32] maybe thats not flash [05:32] haha [05:32] thats where I started my edit I was trying remove # in the file so that all repositories were available [05:33] cabrey: it seems to be trying to make a connection. I have security turned off, to minimise complications. I have the same thing in SSID in both the router and the set up window on the eee. The BSSID is blank as is the MAC address in the setup on the eee. === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [05:33] Grm`Rpr: just google sources.list 'distro' [05:33] Bearcat, what Eee? [05:33] cabrey: hoever it seems to be timing out or something. I never get any error messages. [05:33] cabrey: 901 === Troggy_ is now known as Nicekiwi9 [05:33] on a 900ha here [05:33] hold on === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [05:33] cabrey: thank you so much. [05:33] and those go into that file RHorse ??? [05:34] how do i change the size of my urxvt terminal using keyboard shortcuts? [05:34] hurro, I need some help with setting up the displays in 9.04 [05:34] cabrey no it really did some slow performance on the eye candy flash for the website, but the video and sound is playing well === tj__ is now known as tj83 [05:34] The_Warlock: hit alt and go to terminal then select one of the 4 sizes [05:35] Hey I am trying to do a dual boot do I have to remove the Linux swap for me to be able to partition the drive to open up some space for the OS [05:35] Bearcat, the normal ubuntu release supports your model natively but maybe a proprietary driver is available [05:35] Grm`Rpr: correct, into /etc/apt/sources.list. You have to edit and save file as superuser [05:35] Grm`Rpr: then sudo apt-get update to update cache [05:35] histo: I think i didnt get you...is this for gnome terminal or urxvt? [05:35] cabrey: well i have a module loaded [05:35] Bearcat, what is it? [05:35] it asks me to rename the file when I try to save [05:36] I think that is where I made my mistake and erased the file in the first place [05:36] Grm`Rpr: just type in /etc/apt/sources.list. Are you editing as superuser? [05:36] Bearcat, also is this a new install? [05:37] I'm not sure what to do at that point I tried several ways and when it finally saved it saves an empty file [05:37] and yes superuser on nano [05:37] cabrey: rt2860sta and yes a brand new install. Just an hour ago === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:37] Bearcat, and did you manually compile/load that module? [05:38] Grm`Rpr: do you have gedit or another X editor? Use that with gksudo. [05:38] I have gedit [05:38] hi [05:38] cabrey: in /var/log/messages i'm seeing rt_ioctl_giwscan. 2(2) BSS returned, data_>length = 175 [05:38] Grm`Rpr: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [05:38] ? [05:39] then I have to find the distro on google [05:39] so far not having any luck [05:39] cabrey: i have no idea what that means. This is a fresh install straght off the iso. I have not compiled or installed anything. [05:39] Grm`Rpr: it shouldn't be *too* hard! [05:39] Bearcat, run dmesg | tail --lines=40 and put it into pastebin [05:39] !pastebin [05:39] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[05:40] just haven't found the actually list [05:40] cabrey: i'll do that though. Thanks. [05:40] Bearcat, ohhh dear forget that [05:40] Bearcat, can you plug in ethernet? [05:40] ok, "nautilus actions" is the problem, not sure exasctly what though, thanks for the pointers, gotta go, ciao [05:41] cabrey: no probs. That's what usb keys are for [05:41] anyone have any idea what the dif is between ubuntu for dell mini and a regular distribution [05:42] djrto [05:42] calmbola: it's mostly aesthetic [05:42] the netbook version is optimized for use on netbooks [05:42] calmbola, from ddell? [05:45] cabrey, yes [05:45] calmbola, dell's custom interface, and some proprietary drivers are integrated in [05:45] cabrey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/193201/ <-- dmsg output. Thank you for the help so far. [05:46] cabrey, can i install a standard ubuntu edition? [05:46] i disabled the custom interface - i wanted my real ubuntu [05:46] calmbola, yea it should work [05:47] ok [05:47] cabrey: for what it's worth, when i do a ifconfig -a i see both a pan0 and an ra0 (as well as eth0 and lo [05:47] [05:47] i hate the way it seems like dell INTENTIONALLY made the comp slower [05:47] cabrey, any ideas how i can overclock on my dell mini 10 with ubuntu? [05:47] Bearcat, run uname -r [05:47] calmbola, no idea have an eee here [05:47] cabrey, did you have to overclock yours? [05:47] cabrey: 2.6.28-11-generic [05:48] could somebody tell me why my integrated bluetooth and wireless card on my HP Pavilion stopped working, and bluetooth even crashed my laptop when i was using windows xp, and now that i'm using ubuntu, they all work perfectly. Could this be somekinda clever software scheme from microsoft to make people buy new laptops, my laptop is 2 years old now. [05:48] Bearcat, we can try installing an eee specific kernel, maybe the driver in there will be of higher quality? at least it was for me [05:48] calmbola, no, well, besides the FSB [05:48] potsataja: to you fortune windows and linux have very little in common. That behaviour isn't surprising or new. [05:50] cabrey: given that this is eeebuntu, it *is* a eee specific kernel i thought. [05:50] Bearcat, nope thats why i told you to run uname -r [05:50] it came out as -generic [05:50] what the heck... [05:50] I mean, i when i did a format c and reinstalled my windows, they still didn't function. Is windows checking the release dates of my hardware and upon that decides whether to work or screw with me? [05:50] Bearcat, but here: http://array.org/ubuntu/setup-jaunty.html [05:51] Bearcat, you have to use ethernet to setup the repo [05:51] potsataja: whatever it is, it's not related to ubuntu, and hence to this channel [05:51] cabrey: i wonder if i have an extra network cable.. [05:51] ok, i just have to say, my laptop is like brand new again, when i'm using ubuntu, cause everything works again like new. [05:51] Bearcat, as an added bonus, this kernel is faster [05:52] potsataja: brilliant. [05:52] ^ haha [05:52] hehe [05:52] cabrey: sweet [05:52] cabrey, yeah the fsb is for windows tho [05:52] t [05:52] calmbola, i installed eee-applet which allows me to control it in conjunction with the eeepc kernel [05:53] lucky [05:53] do you think the ee is better than the dell mini, cabrey? [05:54] calmbola, idk tbh anyways were going !ot. but i will say this: i am disappointed in asus [05:54] <[Crussd2]> how do i installing huawei e220 modem on jaunty? [05:54] cabrey: thanks ! [05:54] what does tbh mean and why, cabrey? [05:55] <[Crussd2]> how do i installing huawei e220 on jaunty? [05:55] calmbola, to be honest. asus is now in MS' back pocket [05:55] what is the command for increasing the size of a urxvt session window [05:55] ugh [05:55] that rots [05:55] <[Crussd2]> how do i installing huawei e220 on jaunty? [05:57] anyone know how I can save a file from gedit to /ect/apt/sources.list ? [05:57] Grm`Rpr, use gksu [05:57] I need to replace the sources list [05:57] in a terminal window? [05:57] alt-f2 gksu gedit [05:58] im looking for a new desktop for my ubuntu, ive tried kde and gnome, neither of them convince me, where can i look for a new one? [06:00] does anyone here use a Dell laptop with NVidia graphics card? [06:00] Grm`Rpr: no, anywere [06:00] alt-f2 is the application launcher [06:00] Hi took apache source and did ./configure --enable-so and then make make install.How to build package for that with the modifications [06:01] !checkinstall [06:01] 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! [06:01] k I just did a gedit /ect/apt/sources.list [06:01] gksu launches gedit in root mode, so you can save stuff on top of /etc/apt/sources.list, which is root-owned and not writable by normal users [06:01] it opened and I put in all the info [06:01] but it won't save says the file doesn't exist [06:01] Grm`Rpr, you didnt launch it with gksu [06:01] Grm`Rpr: that wont do because sources.list is not writable by the world [06:01] what would be causing my laptop to randomly blank my display like it's going into power save? [06:02] Grm`Rpr: also it-s /etc/ not /etc/ [06:02] i am trying to view a webpage that says at the bottom created on a mac. I cannot view the album for the photos that I am wanting to see. They will not appear on my browser and I was wondering a way in which i could view them using Ubuntu. Any Help???

[06:02] hi guys, I just update my system to jaunty, but it shows "IO APIC cannot be allocated", anybody has an idea how to fix that? [06:03] oh geez [06:03] Grm`Rpr: read what you typed, /ect does not exist [06:03] gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [06:03] as in et cetera [06:03] cabrey, don't you mean ec tetera?

These descriptions are closely the same... :S [06:56] so with synergy now, i d have to use the command line to work it [06:56] but qsynergy will just give me a gui to run it [06:56] eipark: right you still need to install the synergy package [06:56] texasjack, the linux-generic depends on linux-image [06:57] konza:yes a sec let me look for you [06:57] eipark: but if you install it it will find it since it will end up in your path, so you really don't need to worry about it after that [06:57] how can I get apt-mirror to mirror two arch's ?

I can't remember it and can't find anything on Google or with man -k [07:02] and march setting depends on your glibc version [07:02] it may support the shortcut pentium4 or not depending on the version === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [07:03] hold on I'll be back - switching to a better desktop [07:03] konza:you must install mysql-dfsg [07:04] oh that is so much nicer === mneptok is now known as mnepton [07:04] fccf-os, "No Problemo."

[07:28] the 1.4 backport, ActionParsnip [07:28] Guest65777: you will need to save in the .doc format [07:28] opop: its a dependancy thing [07:28] ActionParsnip, dang it. [07:29] opop: the repo is available, you can install amarok14-common, just not amarok14 as it moans the dep isnt there when it is [07:29] ActionParsnip, i so wish they wouldn't move forward with "upgrades" that provide less functionality than the original. sigh. [07:29] would I be able to do that through the file [07:29] opop: but that was some 6 hours ago so may be worth a try [07:29] Anyone know the command line application used to manage versions of configuration files that get updated during package updates? [07:29] ActionParsnip, can you point me to the ppa [07:29] opop: i use 1.4 for UL remote :) [07:30] UL?

[07:31] opop: then sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install amarok14 [07:32] opop: I am just following the pattern with others. Basically, you start here: https://launchpad.net/~bogdanb/+archive/ppa [07:32] ActionParsnip, i've added the repo, can't seem to find it in synaptic [07:32] opop: refresh [07:32] fccf-vir1, tried, but doesn't like it cuz the key [07:32] opop: did you run: sudo apt-get update [07:33] ActionParsnip, yes, of course. [07:33] opop: doesn't need the key -- you will still get warnings but it will let you install [07:33] opop: try: apt-cache search amarok [07:33] how do I get one package from an old Ubuntu (gutsy) - I'm using Intrepid... it doesn't have debootstrap [07:33] opop: if you give the key error I can give you the command to sort it [07:33] same ones as before. [07:33] opop: then you click the in "This repository is signed with OpenPGP key", then you click through to obtain the page with a key signature at the top reading "Public Key Server -- Get ``0xb9f1c432ae74ae63 '' That's where I got the number from. [07:33] k [07:34] oops rpmstrap I meant [07:34] I'm trying to make a xen guest for an rpm distro (prolly mandriva or fedora) [07:34] opop: the key error is just a failure to authenticate the repository.

[07:42] hmm, seems like it isn't working to me, i'll go try again [07:42] dsdeiz: what squeak said, then: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [07:42] that removes the dependencies then right? [07:42] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/193250/ [07:43] dsdeiz: yes, and the configs of the deps too [07:43] hmm, isn't richard stallman the emacs guy?

[07:44] true [07:44] opop: the last line in your pastebin doesnt have a line number which may indicate an issue [07:44] opop: as far as i can tell, yes [07:44] dsdeiz: you can download it on a different server - making sure you have all dependencies - and install the debs locally === Vincent is now known as Guest23085 [07:45] ActionParsnip, nah, i have an extra line [07:45] fccf-vir1: what about a cd? [07:45] Anyone else here have an Atheros 928x bgn wireless card? Mine won't see any networks. [07:45] dsdeiz if the packages are on a cd - then yes you can install them - just make sure you have the required virsions [07:45] opop: ok well the repo is in there [07:46] ActionParsnip, to be fair, i'm rollin it up. [07:46] opop: ? [07:46] any guides how i might put the packages on a cd? [07:46] dsdeiz, yeah. ;) But Emacs for me is just a Godzilla-editor... Or I'm too stupid... What can I do? [07:46] any guides online that is [07:46] ActionParsnip, giving it another shot. my guess is he pulled it due to the dep issues you stated [07:46] download from packages.ubuntu.com and burn like any other file [07:46] ActionParsnip, hardy's in there, but nut jaunty or intrepid. [07:46] so the people that did the text file thought we all had another conection [07:46] hello [07:47] opop: gotcha [07:47] how much CPU/RAM should an instance of sshd use?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:47] damn [07:47] ahh, thanks fccf-vir1 [07:48] ActionParsnip, nah. i'd rawther compile from source and just static-link the libs [07:48] need randabis to log itself out [07:48] ActionParsnip, if i can, that is. [07:48] opop: compiling isnt as hard as people think [07:48] ActionParsnip, seems not so worth it right now. time for bed. [07:48] fccf-vir1: what about if i need to upgrade? [07:48] ActionParsnip, i know, i'm a 3-yr gentoo user [07:48] opop: yeah i'm waiting patiently myself [07:49] ActionParsnip, thanks again for your help, also squidge [07:49] opop: my fileserver is gentoo based [07:49] ap whats the first thing to learn with compiling [07:49] ActionParsnip, requires more patience and time than i have. [07:49] cheaba, ./configure [07:49] how to cature in kino? [07:49] dsdeiz: good question .. I'll pass that one off though .. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing [07:49] night all. [07:50] songer: from camcorder ... ie firewire? [07:50] cheaba: you learn to get the dev dependancys and reading README files [07:50] i,m starting [07:50] fccf-vir1: oh okay.. what's your suggestion though? [07:50] good read me,s [07:50] cheaba: although you can compile, ubuntu isnt really aimed at folks who compile their own apps [07:51] going towards more gui [07:51] i Want to make a video of pictures [07:51] Mekkis: that's pretty much like asking how many clouds are in the sky on a typical day? :) it can vary a little or a lot. [07:51] how do I get install rpmstrap for Ubuntu? (gutsy apparently had it) - trying to create a xen guest for an rpm distro using ubuntu as a host [07:51] deb [07:51] bc, so using 160MB of RAM, and 30% of a 2.4Ghz Q6600 is not unreasonable? [07:51] (currently using intrepid) [07:52] one last thing how to install rpm files? [07:52] i heard wine is used alot [07:52] ap [07:52] hello, what is this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/380082 why sudo: ddcprobe: command not found [07:52] dsdeiz: you dont, try finding a deb [07:52] Mekkis: on a typical system it should be fairly low. are you scping or something? [07:52] dsdeiz: you can use alien but it is very very very not advised [07:52] i've heard about alien [07:53] dsdeiz: you might want to read about aptoncd [07:53] oh i see [07:53] !alien > dsdeiz [07:53] ok got it thanks [07:53] dsdeiz, please see my private message [07:53] Mekkis: do you have 'compression' on? [07:53] bc, I'm using it as a SOCKS proxy, and various other tunnels or email [07:53] with compression on [07:53] dsdeiz theres a few ways I don't recommend using .rpm in ubuntu but you can convert it to a .deb using the tool called alien which I also don't recommend [07:53] Mekkis: afaik, compress adds overhead [07:53] another better option is to install a virtual machine guest that is rpm-based [07:53] fccf-vir1: ok thanks.. i'll go google it [07:53] Mekkis: sorry, 'compression' [07:53] (like what I'm trying to do) [07:54] what alien [07:54] cheabo its a program called alien [07:54] it converts packages between formats such as .rpm .deb .tgz, etc.. [07:54] ActionParsnip: why this command does not work sudo: ddcprobe: command not found [07:54] yeah [07:55] thats what i mean [07:55] oh I would also like alien [07:55] its not something I recommend doing [07:55] are there a channel where members of différent LOCOs can share experiences or ask for advices? [07:55] what does it do [07:55] ValentineX: try typing ddc then press tab [07:55] I told you what it does check the man page for more info [07:56] cheaba: converts rpm to deb as well as it can (badly) [07:56] ty [07:56] damn [07:56] are there a channel where members of different LOCOs can share experiences or ask for advices?

[08:11] and is there text in the window? [08:12] yes sir [08:12] hi ! [08:12] miguel: good ... now look through it and look for the section that talks about windows ... should be toward the bottom [08:12] Is the inability to set encryption key values via `sudo iwconfig key ` indicative of a driver problem? I can see networks, but I cannot send my credentials, it would seem. Using proprietary drivers recommended by Jaunty. [08:12] i am using ubuntu 8.10.. i was getting good sound befor.. but i happend to reinstall it yesterday.. after that i am not getting enough sound... is ther any problem with the sound sercer [08:13] (hadn't identified...hope I didn't double-post) [08:13] konaq_tea [08:13] ok im kinda new its my first day with linux so ummm where is that section [08:13] i see a windows vista loader thing === issyl0_ is now known as issy1O [08:14] miguel: yes, you will need to move that whole section to before the first ubuntu section === issy1O is now known as issyl0- === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [08:14] ok please be specific because i need to know what section exactly and to where [08:15] quick question: I want my /dev/sda1 to be mount at /boot and my /dev/sda2 to be mounted at / . Which of those partition must be marked as bootable? === Ranaka933 is now known as Ranakah [08:15] Anyone here had success getting an Atheros 928X wireless card to work under Jaunty? [08:15] v3s4 the /boot obviously [08:15] miguel: go down until you see # #end default options## [08:15] i think it's at the very bottom which has a comment like 'This entry automatically....' [08:16] oh im remebering this stuff so the ### dont matter and everything else does [08:16] ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST??? [08:16] FeasibilityStudy, obviously? grub will be on /dev/sda's MBR. Why should it matter? [08:17] miguel: yes you are getting it .. now you will need to put the windows lines before the first ubuntu line that doesn't have ### === issyl0- is now known as issyl0 [08:17] v3s4 the MBR has nothing to do with where you mount partitions [08:17] so where do i start (sorry for the noobyness) [08:17] miguel no worries ... ok there are 5 or 6 lines for windows right [08:18] yess starting on tittle [08:18] tittle windows vista loader [08:18] vs34 the /dev/sda1 must be bootable since thats where the boot partition is. [08:18] ok so i cut that [08:19] how do you get rythmnbox to resync a folder that have already been imported so it will automatically update the library if new music has been downloaded to the imported folder? [08:19] right ... all of those lines are for windows ... if you cut them from the bottom and place them above the first title ubuntu [08:19] FeasibilityStudy, but GRUB does. BIOS reads and load MBR, where GRUB lives. Grub kicks in and loads whatever stated in menu.cfg. So why should the partition "boot" flag matter? [08:19] v3s4 what exactlty is your question? [08:19] right under ## ## End default Options ## [08:20] ?? [08:20] miguel yes [08:20] put a blank line before and after [08:21] FeasibilityStudy, why should the partition mounted as /boot be flagged as "boot" and not the partition mounted at / considering that GRUB is installed properly [08:21] ? [08:21] miguel: you got it? [08:21] ok it looks like this [08:21] v3s4 because the /boot partition is where the kernel image is stored..Without it, you cant boot [08:21] stop don't paste here [08:21] oh why [08:21] use pastebin [08:21] !paste [08:21] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[08:24] thanks [08:24] FeasibilityStudy, if that is the case then the partition "boot" flash should not matter. [08:24] FeasibilityStudy, if that is the case then the partition "boot" flag should not matter. [08:24] ok so what next [08:24] would you use the pastebin - so I can check your work to make sure it will work [08:25] ok sorry .. how do i do that again [08:25] v3s4 Ubuntu should take care of boot flags and all of that for you.

But I am not sure why in the world you want a whole drive dedicated to the tiny /boot partition [08:26] FeasibilityStudy: probably a redhat hangover :) [08:27] indus ? [08:27] indus: that must be it [08:27] FeasibilityStudy: ya /boot on a separate part......... u learn that in redhat install [08:27] indus no he is wanting to put /boot on a separate DRIVE!

[08:45] daurnimator__: Oh... ow, that some kind of mechanical malfunctions if that is track ball, but it could be optical sensor or IRED beamer malfunction if that is optical mouse... [08:45] heru, its a software issue [08:46] heru, only way to fix I've come up with is to restart x [08:46] One more question, does anyone know what can cause this problem when recording Compiz 3D effects? http://nixiepixel.com/misc/ffmpegtest.jpg [08:46] is there a way to reload inetd on ubuntu server 8.04.2 ? [08:46] daurnimator__: I hope that is not like that because mouse controlled by X and HAL [08:46] i've deleted my /etc/pulse folder... how do i get the defaults back? [08:46] the prblem is something to do with clicks not going to the correct "thing" when, maybe xev? or a window manager thing? [08:47] nixiepixel: I do remember an issue a while back, #compiz will probably know more [08:47] but I place it mostly on X [08:47] un|matrix why did you do that?

[08:48] but yeah, just remove it and reinstall it. [08:48] fccf-virl: i can't remove pulseaudio because it wants to remove gnome-desktop along with it [08:48] gnome-desktop can be removed [08:48] kaushal: how can you restart a service if you haven't installed it? [08:49] correct... [08:49] oh ok [08:49] gnome-desktop is a meta package, it really does nothing [08:49] un|matrix: FeasibilityStudy is right [08:49] kaushal:there is no inetd [08:49] Only issue is that it is needed fror upgrades [08:49] kaushal: what inetd service have you installed? [08:49] but if you remove PA and reinstall it, it should bring in ubuntu-desktop anyway [08:50] kaushal:do you mean /usr/sbin/update-inetd [08:50] also [08:50] I get the error when I try and use the package manager; "Could not grab your mouse" [08:50] 99% sure its related [08:50] fccf-virl: well, i've reinstalled it and the config files aren't back [08:50] hmmm [08:50] you might have to purge it [08:51] ok let's try that [08:51] what's with this mouse scrollover thing which stops all internet traffic? === bdusauso is now known as thx1138 [08:51] daurnimator__: If a program cannot grab that's likely related to HAL [08:51] !details |nomin [08:51] nomin: Please give us full details.

Note there is the possibility of dataloss [09:01] ziroday: ok thank you. how high is the possibility of data loss? [09:01] feasibility : well ive just installed pysdm using sudo apt-get install psydm yet when i look for it i cant find it [09:01] Oprtz: did cups autodetect? [09:01] uh, my compiz and gnome aren't working together right, I have binds to change desktop Alt+F1-4, if I change my desktop from 1 to 2 with that keybinding the compiz viewport changed but the workspace applet shows me still in desktop one [09:01] revilodraw: low, but enough to make sure you should backup beforehand :) [09:01] ShockF what is psydm exactly [09:02] and if I send a window to another workspace it sends it to the gnome desktop and not compiz viewport [09:02] ShockF likely it just didnt get added to menu..Try typing into terminal: psydam [09:02] ziroday; backup completed, ill expand partition now. is there any likelihood i could damage my ubuntu partition? [09:02] ok [09:02] fccf-vir1: i dont know, but i can print with the same printer (when physical attach t with ubuntu) and when i was updating ubuntu, i saw cups notifications, so i hope it is installed already [09:02] revilodraw: are you taking space away from it it?

[09:04] so, i'm a bit confused about virtualization. i have an intel processor with the vmx flag. will vmware/virtualbox use the virtualization features of my processor? [09:04] ziroday: looks so [09:04] though I think I did it in keyboard shortcut configuration [09:05] but the viewport bindings are in there too [09:05] raylu probably, but I have no idea how VB is compiled..It's closed source I believe [09:05] hifi: right the issue is compiz works in just one of gnome workspaces's spaces, and has its own implementation of workspaces called viewports. I recommend you ask in #compiz on how you can make them play nice [09:05] fccf-vir1: yes i tried a test page (HP laserjet 1320 test page was successful) but on Deskjet no success [09:05] Oprtz: are you configured windows XP firewall?

[09:29] ShockF: strange . and checkdsk ran complete [09:29] fccf sorry I wasn't trying to use up extra lines or anything [09:29] i assume so [09:30] (I think Grub2 can even boot OSX itself nowerdays - so you may even be able to bypass OSX's boot loader) [09:31] ShockF: don't assume .. the blue screen that runs during bootup of windows .. you have to run chkdsk /f and say run at next boot ... then reboot and let it run it's scan ... then reboot again into windows and do a proper shutdown ... or ubuntu won't read the drive -- is that a little more detail [09:31] fccf: I'm just glad that the Master Plan to wipe out most of humanity didn't come to fruition ;) [09:31] hi im recieving this error every time i try to install ubuntu 9.04 [[ Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 [09:31] -- Device or resource busy.

[09:57] fubaz: shrink xp [09:57] Hi, I'm having a problem. Before I upgraded to 9.04 from 8.04 when ever i plugged my mp3 player into its dock and turned it on it would show up on my desktop as a removable drive(like a thumb drive) But now that ive upgraded, when ever i plug it into its dock it never gets recognized. Does anyone know how to fix this? [09:57] scizzo i can see but when i mounted the system and recovery partitions they mounted fine [09:57] n0mic: here is the list of supported radeon cards against the new radeonhd driver, that works great http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/plain/README [09:57] fubaz: delete it then from live cd and create new partitions etc [09:57] better propriatary driver support -- the linux ones are ok the manufac.. ones are better and nvidia has full support [09:57] for dual head ziroday? [09:57] n0mic: yes they support dualhead, just make sure the card does [09:57] ok ty dudes [09:58] thats a divx and an analogue port on it ziroday?

[09:58] ShockF: you could try the tool ntfs-config [09:58] myself: #freenode, we aren't a channel list [09:59] ShockF: and see if that can help you with mounting the partition [09:59] theres one on this network!! [09:59] ShockF: its a gui for the mounting [09:59] digital and analog ziroday i don'#t know what the portws are called currently on my ati card (agp) i have digital and analog port off it [09:59] tryed it [09:59] ShockF - did you post your fdisk output above? [09:59] nope want me to [09:59] n0mic: okay, all you need to get is two ports. Usually the cards come with two DVI ports, or a DVI and HDMI port [10:00] how's the ffmpeg in the jaunty pacjage manager? [10:00] ShockF - it couldn't hurt to see what fdisk sees (I guess you would use paste.ubuntu.com ?) [10:01] should one still compile ffmpeg from source to be able to have any hope of it working? [10:01] skyl: the ffmpeg from the package manager is fine [10:02] okay, I'll give it a shot then [10:02] nixie http://paste.ubuntu.com/193325/plain/ === Alexandra is now known as Guest91179 [10:03] ShockF - thanks, is /dev/sda3 the drive you are trying to mount?

Just for my info. And I think you'll want to do something like sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs then sudo chmod 775 /mnt/ntfs [10:14] before you try to mount to it [10:15] kk [10:15] <[nrx]> XCP, yeah I should have hit google first. I'm just puzzled why it should only suddenly start happening when I haven't been having a problem beforehand. [10:15] and yh im runnin ubuntu [10:16] [nrx]: a computer and all its components are VERY complex. and although you may not actively change something, a lot of things happen in the background. this can be the hardware's fault, Ubuntu's fault, any other component's fault. === sejo is now known as icetea [10:17] <[nrx]> XCP, indeed. [10:17] ShockF - FYI I think many laptop distributors will create a small recovery partition along with your main partition, but I'm not sure what your third one is...perhaps Vista is on the second (boot) partition, then a data partition is /dev/sda3? === icetea is now known as cutekitten [10:19] ok sda1 is the recovery partition sda2 is the sytem partiton where i assume all the major settings are kept and sda3 is my vista partition [10:20] Sure, let us know how the mount command went (you'll need to add sudo to it as well, unless you're running the terminal session as root) [10:20] also i think it could be setup as a raid bewteen sad 1,2,3 because theyre all linked for example if something goes wrong the recovery menu pops up [10:20] how do i crete the folder /mnt/ntfs [10:20] ShockF - I don't think that would be the case, but I could be wrong, like I said I'm a newbie! [10:20] ShockF - sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs [10:21] then sudo chmod 755 /mnt/ntfs === cutekitten is now known as SeJo [10:22] ok done that now what === SeJo is now known as cutekitten === bigpresh is now known as evilkitten [10:24] ShockF sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfs === jdb is now known as joeri [10:24] k === evilkitten is now known as bigpresh [10:24] Oops, extra space in there, it will probably mess up the command [10:24] nixiepixel: nope the space won't hurt [10:25] ok i think its done it where would i go now to find it [10:25] hi, I have Gutsy Gibbon, my sources.list no longer works - http://dpaste.com/54044/ - where can I find a new one? [10:25] hi guys. I'm looaking into using pinning (unstable on testing.) There appears to be quite a few guides on how to do so, but each vary on the contents of /etc/apt/preferences [10:25] I've settled on http://pastebin.com/f255b58fa [10:25] hi. I created an application launcher and entered as the command "command parameter" ... now, is there a way to change the current working directory to a specific directory before invoking command? I know it's possible with a script, but is it also possible with a desktop app launcher? [10:25] which gives me a bit of safety in that I have to explicitly install packages/unstable [10:25] #ubuntu.pl [10:26] nope didnt work [10:26] My question is, will safe-upgrade or dist-upgrade still operate on unstable packages? [10:26] oops. wrong channel ;) [10:26] ShockF - you would cd /mnt/ntfs [10:26] disregard that [10:27] Did you get an error message? [10:27] genelisp: http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/sourceslist-for-gutsy-gibbon/ [10:28] how do I make the gksu window "windowed" and not gray out the background? :) I remember setting that option before [10:28] nixie so i type cd /mnt/ntfs in terminal [10:29] genelisp: but your sources.list looks like it should work [10:29] in my infinite stupidity i deleted all the rc to, and /etc/init.d/ntp itself [10:29] does anyone do sed or awk coding?

[10:32] hey guys how is everyone [10:32] yeh all the partitons are listed and all mounted except vista which it says i dont have privaledge to do so [10:32] Ahh [10:32] but yh ill be back in around 20 mins gotta do some thingw [10:32] that good huh [10:33] ShockF - yeah, sorry, I'm sure people here can help then, I seem to remember the problem when you don't have priviliges to mount a partition in Nautilis, and I know there have to be folks to help you with that [10:34] i compiled a library from sources and installed it system-wide into /usr/local. now when i try to run a program which depends on that library i get "cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" how do i add this path to the path of libraries to load from? [10:35] well i have a question what is the diff between ubuntu and mac os x === Vincent is now known as Guest99028 [10:35] does the ubuntu live disk include gpart?

Im trying to set up a postgres database, and have installed all needed files via the package manager.. But Im getting an errormessage when I try to run postgres.. su postgres -c create-database.sh is the command I run, and su: Authentication failure is the errormessage... [10:39] hi. I created an application launcher and entered as the command "command parameter" ... now, is there a way to change the current working directory to a specific directory before invoking command? I know it's possible with a script, but is it also possible with a desktop app launcher? [10:41] can i quick format using gparted? [10:41] hey quick question - how is the tablet support in ubuntu? i have a hp tx1020 :) [10:43] emergency: I have /dev/sdc2 mounted and working OK ... but I accidently deleted partitions while the disk was mounted .. how can I recover the partitions .. ? [10:43] hmm.. not much answers here.. just questions.. maybe there are other ubuntu channels? [10:44] . /dev/sdc2 is still mounted and working properly .. [10:44] halfie: what is dev sdc 2 , a hard drive? [10:44] how do i log other people off the system from the command line [10:44] Why Ubuntu server 9.04 has no x windows? [10:44] sydneyguy, its best not to run a server with X [10:44] sydneyguy: cos its a server OS, and most people work on the command line in it, its faster [10:45] indus_: yes [10:45] sydneyguy: because server dont need a gui, but you can install gnome, kde and so on [10:45] sydneyguy: because X uses resources that would be better used for serving services... [10:45] indus_: kernel is still using old partition table .. can i get the table back from kernel copy somehow [10:45] ?> [10:45] sydneyguy: and also as stevecam mentions, its a security issue and also Boohbah is right, X is a resource hog [10:46] Edubuntu, Qimo or something else, whats better for old gear? P3 600Mhz, 512Mb ram kinda stuff [10:46] halfie: sorry i dont know this [10:46] okay np [10:46] halfie: how did you delete the partitions btw [10:46] ! [10:46] no iam still here [10:46] installing X on a server just slows it down, linux programs are usualy command line based, with GUI's for people who are still getting used to things, where windows has a big disadvantage of being completely reliant on some sort of GUI [10:47] connection reset by beer haahahha hoohoho [10:47] you can install X, but you want to follow the KISS principle, keep it short and simple [10:47] stil the same problem: can't get german keyboard on macbook work correctly. tried all kinds of settings in the Settings->Keyboard->Layout menu with no succes. Also tried to use my xorg.conf from a working debian system but it didn't really work. Dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server will give me a generic conf file... [10:47] I want to learn to use the server .. so I will install gnome to be able to learn faster and easier [10:48] intok: they are probably similar in terms of resource use [10:48] where does ubuntu store keyboard settings? [10:48] sydneyguy, what exactly do you want to serve? [10:48] possible to manually edit those files? [10:48] sydneyguy: you dont need a gui for a server [10:48] sydneyguy: also i find gui to be buggy sometims and doesnt work as intended [10:49] sydneyguy it's not really wise to use X on server, because it's so slow [10:49] I want to learn and play around with it.. and also to be able to use firefox and browsethe web and read docs [10:49] its virtually impossible to include all functions of a server in a GUI [10:49] sydneyguy learning the ins and outs of linux server stuff is MUCH faster if you just isntall the server stuff, setup ssh, and then ssh from another computer into it [10:49] and when I am ok with it .. I will re-install it without gui [10:49] I am installing gnome at this moment [10:49] that's what i do, and it works out very well -- it keeps the server itself trim and free of extra crap, and it allows me to keep using firefox and stuff for reading tutorials [10:50] sydneyguy: but if you really want to learn a server OS , you should without the GUI [10:50] i really would appreciate any help with this, been looking for a solution for two day, also posted in the forum. Can't really work (code) without a working keyboard :-( [10:50] sydneyguy: then you dont need ubuntu server, you need ubuntu [10:50] sydneyguy: use a normal desktop-system [10:50] wait [10:50] hi [10:50] If I install ubuntu 9.04 server.. [10:50] sydneyguy, use a normal desktop until you are ready [10:50] ringo999: can u state ur issue again [10:51] What do i need to do to be able to ssh and configure everything remotely [10:51] sydneyguy: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [10:51] sydneyguy, check off ssh during the install [10:51] Anyone know how to use gdb with apache without getting "apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}" [10:52] sydneyguy,how long have you been using *nixes for? [10:52] sydneyguy: and if you are new to linux, please learn with a local system, not a real root-server in the net [10:53] sydneyguy: spam-relay, hacked warez system and so on are not very nice [10:53] yeah, running everything in root is a big no-no [10:53] sydneyguy: all you need is to install openssh-server and make sure any firewall isnt blocking the ssh port [10:53] stevecam: i was meanin a root-server you can rent [10:53] no no .. I am installing it and using it locallyand learn it then when I am ok .. I will use it .. [10:53] hi. I created an application launcher and entered as the command "command parameter" ... now, is there a way to change the current working directory to a specific directory before invoking command? I know it's possible with a script, but is it also possible with a desktop app launcher? [10:54] iceroot, oh, lol [10:54] sydneyguy: for learning use ubuntu 9.04 (not server edition) [10:54] Which command tells me the ip address of the server? [10:54] Bittarman: you might want to ask in #httpd [10:54] sydneyguy: try learning how to start and stop services, how to work with vi, learn why there is sudo, how to install programs and so on [10:54] sydneyguy: ifconfig [10:54] sydneyguy try "ifconfig" [10:54] indus_: trying to get german keyboard on macbook to work. tried all model/layout combinations from settings->keyboard->layout menu. also tried manually editing xorg.conf. Dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver will give me a generic xorg.cong though. I don't no what to do anymore. I'm running xubuntu jauntry. [10:54] depends on what you want to learn really, if you want to learn server management starting up with desktop edition is kinda futile [10:55] sydneyguy, when i started using linux, i messed around with some mini distro's, you get your hands dirty real fast and there quick to reinstall, and you can even emulate them in a ram disk [10:55] harahauk: learning linux first is a good idea :) [10:55] iceroot: yea, but do you learn linux faster by using desktop edition? isnt that just learning gnome/kde/flux/whatever [10:55] sydneyguy, everyone has there uses for linux, you might find it easy just having a server that you can fuck around with [10:56] indus_: just to make it clear: the keyboard works except some "special" keys like F11, or the SUPER key for getting email at symbol etc. [10:56] harahauk: no :) [10:56] !ohmy | stevecam [10:56] stevecam: 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. [10:56] harahauk: a gui is a good start to learn linux [10:56] oh whoops, i forgot [10:56] stevecam: :) [10:56] well, mess around with [10:56] :-) [10:56] iceroot: to repeat myself for spite, depends on what you want to learn ;) [10:57] harahauk: the first think you want to learn is that linux is not windows :) [10:57] indus_: SUPER translates into ALT-GR (the "apple" key) [10:57] indus_: any idea? [10:57] I am re-installing it again in text mode .. and i will use ssh to configure it .. as you said .. I know how move around and do things in linux.. not expert .. but i can manage === marius is now known as Guest25439 [10:57] iceroot: that should be painfully obvious ;) [10:57] harahauk: :) [10:58] Ill try posting my question again... Im trying to set up a postgres database, and have installed all needed files via the package manager.. But Im getting an errormessage when I try to run postgres.. su postgres -c create-database.sh is the command I run, and su: Authentication failure is the errormessage... [10:58] gui is handy but won't really help you learn the guts of linux [10:58] i agree [10:58] sydneyguy, have you read any bash tutorials, they might be worth reading, since bash is a lot more advanced then MSDOS [10:58] spiff74: su postgres and then createdb [10:59] web browsing in console isn't a great experience though [10:59] :) [10:59] why does dpkg-reconfgiure xorg-xserver give a generic "empty" xorg.conf? Where is all the configuratio regarding X11 (keyboard!) handled? [10:59] Chiliblue_: also vi [10:59] Chiliblue_, depends what website your visiting [10:59] iceroot: ok, so I need to remove the -c argument? [10:59] * Chiliblue_ shudders [10:59] spiff74: one aspect comes to my mind: "su postgres..." is rather unusual in ubuntu, did you install postgresql from the repos? [11:00] hi, I get 'invalid key' when I try to update with apt-get how can I solve this? [11:00] guntbert: yes I did.. [11:00] I used Linux the 1st time 1993 === marius is now known as mar [11:00] hmm, did i miss something? sydneyguy you are trying to set up a server right? not a home computer? [11:00] anybody? [11:00] true spiff74 but get less so as the years go by [11:00] if its your home computer the desktop edition is a natural choice [11:01] but if you want to learn how to manage a server, skip the gui all together and start googling everything you want to do :P [11:01] or read man pagges for stuff you know the commands for [11:01] soon youll be working effective as hell :) [11:01] sydneyguy, you arnt gonna loose any brownie points for failing, just mess around with it, have a look at things, one good thing to do is try to reproduce the same result, once you can do what you want to do more then once, you should be set [11:02] am i making sense? [11:02] It was very differnet than now .. was very hard .. and Slackwarewas the best .. Redhat was at the beginning [11:02] guntbert: should I not use su postgres then? [11:02] spiff74: ah, I see now (think so): that command assumes, you are root, but of course you are not, you might try sudo -i first, though I'm not certain if that is the recommended way ... maybe someone else sees the flaw? [11:02] my approach for learning server management was virtualization. virtualize a testbox and wreck it like crazy. then try to learn from the faults you made :) [11:03] so also don't need to reinstall in text mode, just install then choose not to start x [11:03] guntbert: ok, Ill try that :) [11:03] sydneyguy, if you know your way around the bash system, then LFS may be able to teach you a thing or two [11:03] I think Ubuntu and linux in general is well documented now .. especially the server stuff because .. it is the most used servers [11:03] I don't think installing in text mode makes you more manly [11:03] who suggested GIZMO for SKYPE? [11:03] I have the last version .. and I will try it soon [11:03] Chiliblue_, it makes me more manly [11:03] Hi [11:04] I stopped using linux for a long time [11:04] spiff74: you see: su ... assumes the identity of that user, so you should have the password or be root [11:04] I used Mac OS X [11:04] sydneyguy: you should be fine then [11:04] guntbert: ok, that clarifies it.. Im an OS X guy, same as sydneyguy, so my knowledge about linux and ubuntu is minimal.. [11:05] WHen I install Ubuntu server .. what shall i choose for the mail config .. no Configuration or Internet Site [11:05] now.. i'm just burning an ubuntu live disc for gparted.. because fdisk gave me this http://kthx.de/~unicum/fdisk.txt on an external drive [11:05] hi, I get 'invalid key' when I try to update with apt-get how can I solve this? [11:05] any ideas what i'll do with this, once the disk is ready and booted? [11:05] I use osx for my day to day desktop and linux on servers [11:05] Hhhmmm... Edubuntu says it needs a 1Ghz cpu, Qimo says a 400Mhz but neds much more install space, interesting [11:05] spiff74: :) [11:05] In my case I used linux before Mac OS X ... [11:05] Chiliblue_, imo, mac are just as bad as MS [11:05] But when I started using Mac OS X .. I hated windows and I stopped using it ..

[11:07] its great for a terminal client [11:07] um, i left osx [11:07] it was great, but it sucked because i couldn't really run any games, or use any fancy smancy linux stuff [11:07] I have iMac 24" 3.06 GHz Allumin .. and MacBookPro 17" Unibody 2.93 GHz [11:08] i lost my faith in apple after the iPhone was released [11:08] and planning in buying MacPro 8-core soon [11:08] sydneyguy, PPC or x86?

[11:08] sydneyguy, if it was an x86, you could install ubuntu on it :-) [11:09] I've spent some time reading about building my own linux distro, and many articles say it's best to start with another distro as a core, such as ubuntu, it's having strong safe security, does anyone know of an article which i can have ubuntu as my core and build upon it, thank you :) [11:09] Do u mean iPhone? [11:09] stevecam you can still install an older version of ubuntu on the ppc, and theres always yellow dog [11:09] Yes ...

[11:42] Data_storm: you mean pc brand? [11:42] no I mean what desktop, KDE, gnome? [11:42] some body knows [11:42] Sorry, that was to shashwapns - the shortcut for desktop cube (once you have enabled it) to begin rotation is CTRL-ALT-MOUSE1 [11:42] gnome [11:42] I have a bitmapped font, how do I install it so that I can use it with gnome terminal? [11:42] jjibn, what about sudo apt-get install bash [11:43] @mib its usually in the preferances under desktop settings right click [11:43] desktop?right click? [11:43] multiple desktops.. [11:44] the point is that I can't dail on net under ubuntu,so the command maybe doesn't work [11:44] jjibn, no internet connection? [11:45] on PLaces->Desktop ? [11:45] :yeah [11:45] anyone? [11:45] I have a bitmapped font, how do I install it so that I can use it with gnome terminal? [11:45] jjibn, how are you connecting here [11:45] not sure @ mib everyones desktop is differant === PolyC is now known as Polyculture [11:46] but the option to enable more than one is in the preferences somewhere.. [11:46] * skapning facepalms [11:46] after I erase the file of bin,it couldn't on internet again.I checked but it doesn't work. [11:46] I used another OS [11:46] i couldnt figure it out [11:46] Data_Storm, mib - in compizconfig-settings-manager the option to add multiple desktops is under General Options [11:47] but that is another problem [11:47] :) [11:47] bazhang: want to install a *.fon bitmapped font, where does it go, and do I just fc-cache -fv? [11:48] jjibn, you erased everything in /usr/bin ? [11:48] nixie i still get the same chkdsk error === SpinacZ is now known as SpinacZ_ [11:48] not really,just the file of bash,I said that before [11:49] ShockF - you are getting a chkdsk error when trying to mount at the command line? [11:49] yup [11:49] Ok, one last thing, try this: [11:49] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -f /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfs [11:49] how do you see a cube in ubuntu [11:50] ShockF - but be careful, you're forcing it to mount [11:50] kk [11:50] so if you haven't backed up your data, do so before you try that [11:50] mm my UI (Gnome) is responding quite slow. I have desktop effects disabled. Any tweaks? I'm using default drivers for my ATi Mobility 9000 [11:50] tbh i dont think ill do that [11:50] shashwatpns, install ccsm, then enable in settings, activate [11:50] have they worked out 3D accel. issues with VIA/S3 integrated chipsets yet? [11:50] as tht whole partition is an os and it has loads of important things on [11:50] jjibn, why not hook ethernet to that computer and try to install it [11:51] i have a hard disk drive image "hdd.img". i think it also contains the mbr so it's a full image... I don't know how to mount it. in "fdisk hdd.img" i can see that there is a fat16 partition on it (the file is 80mb). but I don't know how to mount it (bypass mbr, does ubuntu handle fat16?) [11:51] its activated bazhang i dont know how to see it [11:51] I have this gateway MX3215 here and it's chugging with 9.04 [11:51] Anyone know what tehe deal is with keyserver.ubuntu.com ? [11:51] shashwatpns, is compiz enabled? [11:51] yes bazhang [11:52] shashwatpns, also did you set to 4 sides instead of only two? in general settings (ccsm) [11:52] yes [11:52] ShockF - I understand, you should not do anything like that unless you have a full backup. For anything else you'll need help from somebody else, sorry, you're at the limit of my knowledge here. [11:52] shashwatpns, just a second let me enable mine [11:52] ok thanks any way [11:53] bazhang i just want the key === SpinacZ_ is now known as SpinacZ [11:53] u know the apt-get install update and then apt-get ntfs thing and then the gksudo thing do you know that way of mounting ? [11:54] ShockF: what? [11:54] jrib : gartral showed me a way yesterday tht was using that method [11:55] ShockF: what you said is incredibly difficult to parse === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [11:55] jrib oh [11:56] u mean setup the ethernet again? [11:56] jrib - ShockF is looking to mount an NTFS drive, and someone told him to update first, then install an ntfs package (not sure which one), then use gksudo to do something, maybe to load Nautilus. [11:57] shashwatpns, set 3d cube checked, active rotate cube checked then control alt left mouse drag [11:58] shashwatpns, also control alt left arrow will work [11:58] jjibn, yes [11:59] hi all [11:59] yesterday my wireless lan stopped working...i don't know why [11:59] i still get an IP from dhcp [11:59] but i can't ping my wireless router [11:59] nor something outside [12:00] the interface is up, ip address assigned, routes are configured [12:00] Schnitz: so what did you do yesterday? [12:00] Myrtti: came home...changed nothing (of course) [12:00] somebody else can use my wireless network without trouble [12:00] Schnitz: have you tried a networking restart [12:00] C-S-B_: i restarted the whole notebook [12:01] hi I'm try to put up a svn server... [12:01] Schnitz: the service on the pc? [12:01] Schnitz: can you resolve? [12:01] C-S-B_: dns is also dead [12:01] 1. question: is there any other repositori program better than svn ? [12:01] network connection just feels like "not connected" [12:02] Schnitz: can you ping localhost? [12:02] but ip gets assigned by the router [12:02] C-S-B_: yes [12:02] because mine is working super slow [12:02] ajitam: bzr, darcs, git, mercurial, ... [12:02] C-S-B_: i can also ping my own ip address (which got assigned by dhcp) [12:02] shashwatpns, you did do alt f2 compiz --replace as well? [12:02] Schnitz: can you assign a static address and test? [12:03] jrib: do you recommend anyone [12:03] C-S-B_: i'll try [12:03] C-S-B_: right now i'm online with the same notebook using the wired interface [12:03] that one is working fine [12:03] ajitam: i like all of them. Try them out and see if you prefer one over the other. bzr is used in launchpad if that's important to you [12:03] what chipset/driver are you using?

[12:06] so i stick in my vista cd and click repair [12:06] if i change to another address than the one assigned by dhcp....it's working [12:07] ShockF: no you will have to boot with a windws cd into recvery console and run « fixmbr » [12:07] shashwatpns, try alt f2 compiz --replace [12:07] should have bought a wireless router for more than 20 bucks maybe hehe [12:07] bazhang, one big screen, I had before debian etch, everything has worked ok [12:07] C-S-B_: thanks for the hint....do you have any idea why this could be?

[12:45] trident523: Just want to run it, as it'll launch zenity (A gui applet) [12:45] FrozenFire: You can create a custom application launcher which runs that command.

Keep up the good work :) [12:46] I don't understand what is so bad about this sig 40976EAF437D05B5 .... [12:46] audacious crossfade in 9.04, anyone? [12:46] I don't believe application launchers run the command through bash [12:46] matrixblue - thanks! [12:47] if I install Ubuntu off the CD, it will make GRUB the bootloader so I can choose which OS to boot? [12:47] afternoon all [12:47] FrozenFire: Er, I'd just use the external file which would then launch through the terminal, as I personally don't know much about the launcher. [12:47] Joshua_Mayer: yep. [12:47] FrozenFire: some of them give you the option to open a term window as they launch the app [12:47] Joshua_Mayer: as long as you keep a windows partition, and a linux one, it will setup grub. [12:48] blip-: That's not the issue. I just want the command to be run through bash. [12:48] FrozenFire: ` and | are bash things, so your command should start like "bash -c ..." [12:48] hey i have a big problem [12:48] Cool. Do I need to make a partion for Ubuntu to install to, or can ubuntu make one during the install? [12:48] how do i fix the mbr from the windows cd [12:48] Joshua_Mayer - yes, grub will find your existing operating system and when it boots will give you the option to boot to it, though it defaults to Ubuntu === Alexandra is now known as Guest94258 [12:48] nixie howd do i fix the mbr from the cd [12:48] Joshua_Mayr ubuntu does it during install [12:49] So do I need to manually make a new partion, or can the ubuntu install give me the option to do it? [12:49] ShockF: Well, two ways. You can re-install linux (easy,) or try to rescue it with another kind of boot disk. [12:49] Ok Cool. [12:49] joshua_mayer just install ubuntu on d: everything will be fine.. but your datas in d: will be lost.. so backup them === Guest94258 is now known as Alexandra [12:49] Joshua_Mayer - You can let Ubuntu do it, though if you have Vista you should do the partition shrinking in Vista, or there can be occasional problems [12:49] I have Windows XP. [12:49] Then you are safe to do the repartitioning in Ubuntu [12:49] Does that matter? [12:49] trident what do you mean === Alexandra is now known as Guest10694 [12:49] Awesome! Ubuntu looks awesome! [12:49] Yes, Vista can have problems with partition alignment when a linux partition manager is used. [12:50] I suggest making three partitions - / , /home and swap [12:50] Can anyone help me in upgrading the Jaunty kernel to 2.6.30? === Guest10694 is now known as Alexandra_ [12:50] Joshua_Mayer yes it is really cool [12:50] chathuraw: Is it in the repos? [12:50] @Joshua_Mayer : the hardest job when installing jaunty is seeing the slider on the right to indicate how much drive space to give ubuntu! [12:50] ShockF - I'm not sure, someone gave you the command above, assuming you are trying to repair your Vista master boot record? [12:50] cankoy: Ah, I had tried that, but some quotes mixed up. That works, thanks. [12:51] trident523: i dont think so [12:51] Joshua_Mayer - if you follow my video tutorial you'll have those three partitions, which makes it really easy to reinstall Ubuntu should you have to do it [12:51] yeh im trying to repair vista mbr so i can remove linux off the system for now [12:51] @Joshua_Mayer If you need some help, let me know [12:51] chathuraw: I give you this warning. "Building and using a custom kernel will make it very difficult to get support for your system. While it is a learning experience to compile your own kernel, you will not be allowed to file bugs on the custom-built kernel (if you do, they will be Rejected without further explanation)." [12:51] Thanks Alexandra! You'll be here if I need help? [12:52] chathuraw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (you'd have to compile the newest one.) [12:52] I am using ubutnu server - for remote connections I need to install the whole gnome desktop?\ [12:52] how do i log off another user thats not in use [12:52] trident523: I know. But I'm sick of this suspend/resume problem on the Jaunty kernel. I can't suspend my laptop :( [12:52] remote desktop connections that is - what is the best way of installing gnome to I can use it as a session in tightvnc? [12:52] ShockF: If you want to just repair vista MBR... boot into the vista restore partition -> go to the cmd line -> type fixmbr. [12:53] ShockF: This abandons the linux partition though. [12:53] ircnickiuse, i havnt done it, but i have read that it is possible [12:53] Is there a way to allow a user to install software via synaptic, but not allow sudo access? [12:54] kevin_: not really [12:54] kevin_: Generally no, but they can generate a script that an admin can then use to install software. [12:54] trident523: thanks. Will try :) [12:54] how long does compiling a kernel take ?? [12:55] kevin_: maybe in the future when synaptic will use PolicyKit, but not know I think [12:55] *now [12:55] it may depend on process but average ??? [12:55] Is there a way, from the terminal, to copy text into the clipboard? [12:55] @Joshua_Mayer try and you will see [12:55] kevin_: When you open synaptic without setting a password, they can still select software, and go to file -> generate package script. [12:55] How much diskspace does ubuntu need? [12:55] FrozenFire: shift-control-v/c [12:55] Joshua_Mayer: I'd suggest >8GB for reasonable use. [12:55] trident523, alright thanks... perhaps that what I will direct them todo [12:56] trident523: Nah, I mean like: echo -n text|gnome-clipboard-set or something [12:56] depens on what you install [12:56] anyone get a umts-gprs-hpsda connection working with ubuntu on either a usb stick (with tmobile) or nokia phone (tmobile or vodafone) ?

[12:56] @synthetiq: I use 3G for internet now [12:56] I have just cleared out about 4gb from my hardrive so now I have 14gb or free space, so I think I have enough. [12:57] synthetiq: I have . [12:57] artti: Amarok always has. [12:57] Joshua_Mayer - how much RAM do you have? [12:57] trident523, not amarok2 [12:57] oo... i was thinkint to giveit a try but.. if it takes hours ////// [12:57] Is there any way of extracting meta data out of open office files? Do they even store meta data? [12:57] artti: you can always downgrade. :P [12:57] Hmm. I think I have 512. [12:57] Bacta, unzip them and read the xml files [12:58] trident523, but anyother? [12:58] when i used my nokia phones, i get complaints with ppp0 that the serial line is looped back, i then removed that check, but still no connection [12:58] pvandewyngaerde: Will gzip suffice? [12:58] artti: campcaster does a really good job of it .. but right now you'd have to compile form svn [12:58] hi, my fbpanel-menu lists the categories in english, but the program entries in german ... I want both in german ... so how can I get that? (the fbpanel menu creates the entries out of the .desktop files and in these desktop files the categories must have certain (english) names ...) [12:58] Joshua_Mayer - if it turns out you don't have enough space, you may want to try one of the lighter Ubuntu versions, like Xubuntu, or Eeebuntu [12:58] Bacta: dont know, if not try unzip [12:58] hi [12:58] when i usehs0 connect using a umts umta stick, it connects, but only with tmmobiles propetiery stick, but all my packs are reported as filtered [12:58] is there anyways to circumvent the packet filetering [12:59] unzip and gzip are two tottally different things [12:59] or somehow get my nokia phones to work? [12:59] synthetiq: you'll have to search online to find your answers. Its not always straight forward. I had to do a little voodoo but its up and running now, but it does drop of frequently [12:59] I think I'll have enough space since I am not installing anything new on Windows, and I'm getting another computer soon anyway. === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [12:59] zemy: what exactly are you using [12:59] I have a wierd question.

Unfortunately without more info there are just to many things it could be. Hopefully you can narrow it down though and see if any logs are being spewed forth or if a certain process is just going wonky [13:52] Gilgha: what do u mean install it?

[14:28] Kingsy101, You said GDM was bailing out and dropping to a command prompt... at least that's what I thought you said. Nonetheless, you can CTRL-ALT-F1 from a graphical environment to get a shell. Or you can boot in single user mode. [14:28] Katarn, i dont think its possible if you uninstall nautilus it will pull most of the gnome with it [14:29] artti, amarok uses Qmake [14:29] beli: put the file where?

I have tried to backup these files and replace them [14:33] cowgarden: you have file1 file2 file4 and you want to print out that file3 is missing? [14:33] but that doesn't seem to work. My only workaround is to remove the [14:33] files in /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/misc and then reinstall [14:33] beli, I generated many numerized files, but 2 times I got an error and no file was created, now I have to find those 2 gaps in my series [14:33] vmware server 2.0 and then it works fine.

[14:40] sky_1, ftp loginname@hostname [14:40] tehboriz: yes, they thinks that your OS is WIN32...

[14:41] tehboriz: Warning!!! Your computer contains various types of adware and viruses -- that what they said? [14:41] Kingsy101, For now, let's just make sure your password is what you expect it to be so at the root prompt, type in, "passwd username" where username is your username on the box.

[16:14] X11: If I can bother you one more time.. I took out the PCI graphics card and put the monitor back to the VGA output that's built into the motherboard. The problem why I changed it in the first place was because I can't get a resolution higher than 800 x 600. [16:14] MK13: good luck my friend...

[16:14] drivers [16:15] sky_1: you need ntfstools (I think that's what the package is called, I could be wrong) [16:15] Authority, what do you mean by verify? [16:15] Authority, check the signature? [16:15] sky_1: Gparted is a graphical frontend to parted, a commandline tool. Parted uses a bunch of other tools to actually do it's work. [16:15] anyone german here? [16:15] X11: I tried to install the Nvidia 180 driver, but I was getting the out of range signal with that installed [16:16] AceKing: what is your PC architecture? [16:16] cabrey: I think some files may have been changed or corrupted, I would like to verify they are still as they should be [16:16] aygeX: try #ubuntu-de [16:16] AceKing, use nvidia-settings [16:16] !de [16:16] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [16:16] !de > aygeX [16:16] aygeX, please see my private message [16:16] sky_1: To my best understanding, there is no open source driver capable of creating a ntfs partition. Ntfs is proprietary, and much of the specifications are unknown; just enough to read/edit existing ones. [16:16] ok ty lifeguard [16:16] X11: AMD [16:16] does floodbot ever tell ubottu off? [16:17] sky_1: oh, roobly_roo may be right -- I only had to /change/ an ntfs partition, not create one [16:17] do you guys know a database modeller for linux? [16:17] hey guys that fixed my pc.. the sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade ... [16:18] how come those two commands one after another fixed my pc and I couldnt do that through the GUI? [16:18] wihtout getting errors [16:18] sky_1: For most cases it's best to format to fat32 if you want to share between Windows and Linux. Or, if its max-filesize limit is too low for your needs, use ext* and install the ext2 driver for Windows. [16:18] Kingsy101, See how powerful the command line is! :-) [16:18] yup [16:18] Kingsy101, and how much easier? :) [16:19] but I don't really understand why it worked on the command line and not through the gui [16:19] what exactly does sudo apt-get update do ? [16:19] AceKing: ok, that's no matter with current architecture. If current resolution is limited in only 800x600, then try to fix X server with the way like I show before... [16:20] reads your packages from the repositories you have listed in /etc/apt/sources.list [16:20] does anyone know how to format a hard drive so i can put XP on it? i think i want an ext3 to NTFS cnoversion [16:20] Impossible.. [16:20] Authority, i can't find a function that does exactly that. dpkg doesn't care what you do with the files after you install the package [16:20] then upgrade installs the never version [16:20] eipark, that must be impossible [16:20] rohit: what do you mean [16:20] rich____ - and what about upgrade ? [16:20] Authority, maybe there is, try going on #debian, they are well versed in these tools [16:20] eipark, i think you're only hope is to backup all your data and format - install xp and then restore you're data [16:20] cabrey: apparently there is another package called debsums to do this [16:20] Can someone help me? My Ubuntu server is having some rather annoying issues... [16:20] X11: Ok, I'll give it a try. I'm still fairly new to Ubuntu, but it's a fresh system so I'm not afraid of screwing up [16:21] Kingsy101, check out the manual [16:21] Authority, that sounds like it is just an md5 check [16:21] Kingsy101, man apt-get [16:21] right [16:21] i inserted an XP disk [16:21] alrighty [16:21] :) thanks [16:21] Kingsy101, its the q button to quit :) [16:21] and got the xp prompt, partitioned it from the installer , but it said the partition is not xp compatible [16:21] rich____ - how long have you been using ubuntu ? [16:21] cabrey: which is exactly what I want. I want to make sure the file is as it was when it was installed [16:21] 2 1/2 years [16:21] irc / about 10mins lol [16:21] My NIC isn't being recognized. (It's one of those RealTek integrated Gigabit Ethernet adapters.) [16:21] Authority, you mean the deb itself? [16:21] rich____ - have you read the manuals ? [16:21] all of em? [16:22] cabrey: no, the installed files [16:22] eipark: if you currently use ubuntu with gnome desktop, try to install gparted (partition manager with GUI). you can manage partition within and safely [16:22] Hi is it possible to login via SSH and 'catch' the output of a running console program? [16:22] Kingsy101, no, i read them when i need to [16:22] like man file [16:22] is helpfull [16:22] eipark, exactly. xp needs FAT32 or NTFS so you will have to format the partition - but if you have data on it you will need to back it up and then format [16:22] i dont need the data so its ok [16:22] Authority, it would have to do an md5 on each installed file because they are not in one file anymore [16:23] eipark, then what you need to do is format the partition - I second X11 suggestion - use gparted [16:23] thanks [16:23] lemme give it a try [16:23] cabrey: correct [16:24] chaosphere, no :( look into screen as it will allow you to 'detach' sessions [16:24] rich____ - just cos I am really interested in learning ubuntu properly, not really sure what steps to take.. I mean there is always day to day learning but I just wonder if I should be reading a book or the manuals or something [16:24] eipark, check and double check - you don't want to format the wrong partition :) [16:24] cabrey: at least with RPM, this is standard. RPM can tell you if any file it installed has changed [16:24] rohit: thank you my friend... [16:24] ok thanks cabrey. I'll have a look [16:24] Kingsy101, it depends what you want to get out of it [16:25] rich____ - I just wanna be able to use it competently .. i.e know whats going on.. heh [16:25] kinda like I do with windows.. [16:25] but i hate windows [16:25] I have a question, can i just install 64 bit ubuntu over my current 32 bit ubuntu without losing all my data? I installed 32 from wubi if it makes a difference. [16:25] :) [16:25] rohit: i have gparted running nwo and have the disk i want to use, what exactly do i do now to format it? [16:25] Kids with guns [16:26] eipark, I am on windows right now - and I don't know gparted well - wait for some else to respond :D [16:26] k thanks, [16:26] Hajuu: Do you have anything Ubuntu related to say? If not, you can join us in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:26] anyone know how to use gparted to format a drive for XP? [16:26] Impossible.. [16:26] Kingsy101, there are some free books, just trying to find one [16:26] Kingsy101: If you really want to learn Ubuntu, I'd suggest trying to learn more about Linux and GNU. The best way to do that, would be to learn through setting up most of it yourself (via CRUX or the minimalist GENTOO network installer.) [16:26] rich____ - aw man that would be cool if you could find one for me.. [16:27] Kingsy101, Ubuntu Pocket Guide [16:27] What version of ubuntu is best for looking up porn? [16:27] Hajuu: it might be best to ask in #troll [16:27] UPorntu [16:27] joining [16:27] all of them [16:27] get ready for a ban... [16:27] Please don't encourage him. [16:27] eipark, what exactly do you mean by "format a drive for xp"? [16:28] create a single ntfs primary partition? [16:29] create some partitions so you could install xp alongside ubuntu? [16:29] Is there no way in ubuntu to change the default soundcard without writing up an .asoundrc file? [16:30] !sound [16:30] 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 [16:30] eipark: click on the partition map that displayed by gparted, hold mouse, click right (if your mouse set for right handy), then choose Format to > ntfs. [16:30] x11: thanks [16:30] my rc.local is not being read at boot time... i think.. coz.. no change is hapening... when i manually execute it then its alright.. at boottime it is not automatically working ;( [16:31] x11: it wont let me format to ntfs [16:31] #ubuntu-it [16:31] truthordare, what is this script? [16:31] but fat16 and 32 are available, are those compatible [16:31] ubuntiana, /join #ubuntu-it [16:31] fat 32 is [16:31] bk13: thanks [16:32] fat 32 is universally recognised by all OS's [16:32] bebak [16:32] eipark, after installing windows - windows will over write the boot record [16:32] truthordare: is it +x? [16:32] to configure ifconfig with m y custom ip addresses.. for eth0.. [16:32] like eth0:1, eth0:2..etc [16:32] truthordare: you know about /etc/network/interfaces don't you? [16:32] eipark, so to boot into ubuntu you will have to re install grub - you can search on google to get guides on this [16:32] eipark: did you you see 'ntfs' menu while you pointing such pop-up menu? How many partition now on current hdd? [16:32] Kingsy101, this one seems good http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/6527 [16:33] Would "cp -Rv -t DESTINATION source1 source2 source3" copy source{1,2,3} into the DESTINATION folder? [16:33] sure.. i can manually directly execute it with sudo /etc/rc.local and it works fine [16:33] I understand that only a certain number of partitions can be set in one physical drive but is there anything stopping me from having a 2-3 page GRUB list if I have a hard drive for each OS? [16:33] x11: theres only one partition on this hard drive, NTFS was in the menu but i couldn't click it [16:33] i have a ded box, how can i check if gnome is running? [16:33] truthordare, use /etc/network/interfaces for static ip's [16:33] truthordare: even ignoring that, rc.local isn't the best place. you should place that kind of thing in /etc/rc.S/SNN or /etc/network/if-up.d/ [16:33] interfaces file is not allowing me to configure eth0.. it says eth0=eth0 not recognised.. i have no clue..so trying this rc.local way [16:33] rich____ - thanks I will read it :) [16:34] wheres the pah for thekazahakase plugins directory [16:34] wheres the pah for the kazahakase plugins directory )(typo fix) [16:34] jim____, it should execute it just like any run level script === bosco is now known as {bosco} [16:34] jim____, but perhaps it is too late in the boot process [16:34] Kingsy101; http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html did you look here? [16:34] cabrey: I know it "should" work, I'm only saying it's not really proper to do it in rc.local. [16:34] can i just install 64 bit ubuntu easily over my current 32 bit ubuntu without losing all my data? I installed 32 ages ago from wubi and am dual booting xp if it makes a difference. [16:35] cabrey: truthordare: it's an interface-config process and IMO should be placed as such, that's all [16:35] <{bosco}> ok anyone know how to take a avi file and convert it to mp4 ? [16:35] {bosco}: ffmpeg / mencoder [16:35] can i just rename the rc.local to Sxx and place it in /etc/rc.S/ ? [16:35] eipark: what is current partition FS (Ext2 ? Ext3 or else..?), is that partition used as root partition of your Ubuntu... it should a least two partition, one /dev/sda1 and another such swap partition... [16:35] jim____, it wasnt working for him ealier, so i suggested rc.local [16:35] gnubie - no, does that read like a book? i.e can I read that guide from start to finish? [16:35] cabrey: ah I see [16:35] gtg laters people - happy ubuntu'ing [16:35] now tell me a good value for S?? whats the ubunutu's default runlevel? [16:35] bk13, no, that needs a reinstall [16:36] why do i need grub? does it matter if my ubuntu and xp will be on separate hard drives [16:36] So if i put freenx on my ubuntu server, i should be able to get a remote GUI view on my Vista pc? [16:36] truthordare: sure. the scripts in that directory are run in numerical order. check the README found in there. [16:36] ????????????

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:36] eipark: You can do that with some work, but you'll need to choose the secondary operating system from the BIOS menu. [16:36] u can use nomachine's nx.. from www.nomachine.org [16:37] I understand that only a certain number of partitions can be set in one physical drive but is there anything stopping me from having a 2-3 page GRUB list if I have a hard drive for each OS? [16:37] wheres the pah for the kazahakase plugins directory )(typo fix) [16:37] {bosco}: er, what [16:37] i am currently using it.. and its pretty fast.. much faster than xdcmp... [16:37] eipark: And the Microsoft Installer will take the primary device when you install Windows, which may break the Ubuntu installation. [16:37] hi all, I added myself to a group with gpasswd, but that group doesn't show up with I do a groups.. do I need to restart a daemon or something? [16:37] dajhorn: so i have to install grub first [16:37] jim____: can i know ubunu's deafult runlevel ? [16:37] eipark: Yes, but it can live on the Ubuntu disk. [16:38] eipark: So that Windows and Linux don't overlap at all. [16:38] eipark: ubottu 100% right, perhaps you should resize current partition use gparted... [16:38] rich____ - if I read that book you gave about debain does that have anything to do with ubuntu? [16:38] x11: i already use gparted, its formatting my hard drive so i can put xp on it [16:39] i have 2 hard drives in this machine, one for xp, one for ubuntu [16:39] X11: ubottu is a bot, credit goes to whoever put that !factoid in [16:39] hi guys [16:39] hi [16:39] how do i check my ubuntu version from terminal [16:39] how many GB does a swap partition need? [16:39] truthordare, You should probably create your custom startup script and put it in /etc/init.d/ and then use update-rc.d to create the sym-links to it from the wanted runlevel(s). [16:39] how do i check my ubuntu version from terminal [16:39] ? [16:39] how do you add dns servers to use to /etc/network/interfaces ? [16:40] gartral: that's why I said 100% right... [16:40] my network works but their is nothing written in /etc/network/interfaces is that normal ? [16:40] how many GB does a swap partition need? [16:40] 1 gb aygeX [16:40] should be enough [16:40] ok :D gave it 10 GB [16:40] marctw: $ cat /etc/lsb-release [16:40] rocko, You don't. They go in /etc/resolv.conf [16:41] I'm preparing to install on a friends Compaq Evo N600c laptop. Would I be better off doing the install with the pcmcia wireless card installed, or wait to configure it after the install? [16:41] do I need swap for standby mode? [16:41] aygeX how much ram do you have ? [16:41] not cat /etc/debian_version ? [16:41] 2GB [16:41] back in the day they would do it based on twice your ram aygeX [16:41] so, 4GB for swap? [16:41] but not any more since it is really not needed [16:41] marctw: try just lsb release -a [16:42] marctw: Why ask? Just look at the file. They're different. [16:42] that was how it was done back then [16:42] ok gonna try this, I need swap for standby mode right?

[16:45] Kingsy101: The pocket guide is good. [16:45] rocko, I hate that though. I always remove it and properly utilize /etc/network/interfaces.

Anybody know how to fix it? [16:46] I see you mean you remove the config file for network-manager rob_p ? [16:46] does it take a longt ime for it to conver tthe partitions to FAT32? gparted has said 2 operations pending for almost 20 mins [16:46] Kingsy101: In that case, the pocket guide will be suitable imo. [16:46] rocko, No. I remove network-manager altogether. [16:46] "lsb-release" and "lsb" are unknown commands... I must be retarded. [16:46] I see [16:46] eipark: Completely depends on the size of the partitions. [16:46] tiyowan - what I mean is do they just teach you how to use the interface? cos that wouldnt help.. I want a pretty advanced walkthtrough.. [16:47] marctw: one sec [16:47] 80gigs? [16:47] rocko, ...but I'm not recommending that you do it. I just prefer it the old way, that's all.

[17:26] krishna, oh filesize, 16TB [17:26] * 1024 [17:26] frostburn, and as soon as i leave the N area (they only updated one part of campus) i can connect to the G network perfectly [17:26] almost: that means www-data has permissions to Read+Write+eXecute and everybody else has none, is that what you want? [17:26] how can I open each video file view on only one vlc player not open this program for each file ? [17:26] frostburn, 16 * 1024 gb ? [17:26] Hilikus: you are welcome :) [17:26] frostburn, or 16 * 1000 gb ? [17:26] frostburn, and like I said before, if I boot into windows, and get an IP, i can save that config, and go to linux and statically assign it and it works [17:27] where in ubuntu 9.04 can i find the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH [17:27] frostburn, is it 1000 or 1024 ? [17:27] krishna, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terabyte [17:27] frostburn, my question was different [17:27] space_cadet, yeah, it's a pita though =( [17:27] Can anyone help me with a NFS mounting problem? [17:27] lol [17:27] jaws, what are you trying to mount and how? [17:27] Anyone Ubuntu certified? [17:27] Hi, how can I wipe my hard disk ready for the installation of a new operating system? [17:27] ?? [17:28] frostburn, i dunno... IT said maybe try renaming the linux box to the same thing the windows one is named... might make a difference, because the DHCP server looks at machine names and MAC addresses [17:28] so [17:28] Aar0n: Ubuntu will format if you want during the install. [17:28] lucax, search is available in ubuntu & nautilus gives small previews of files. if you want similar functionality to Quick Look, submit it to Ubuntu Brainstorm [17:28] linuxninja: Um, well, we're all volunteers here. [17:28] a directory on another Ubuntu client. I'm getting a mount error though. [17:28] frostburn, is it Tib or tb ? :(( [17:28] How do you rename your machine in ubuntu 9.04? [17:28] !hostname | space_cadet [17:28] linuxninja, there is no certification for people AFAIK [17:28] space_cadet: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [17:28] cool.. THX pici [17:28] cabrey: i dont have an account... [17:28] Pici, I am already on Ubuntu and want to wipe it for the installation of a totally new operating system. How can I do this? [17:28] guntbert: yes just as a further point if permissions were set as so : drwx------ 1 www-data root 0 2009-06-11 14:28 nontmp does this indicate root has access? [17:28] tiyowan: I want to take the Ubuntu certification [17:28] linuxninja, i take that back :) [17:28] I'm using vino + vncviewer, if i don't disable compiz on the server, the screen on the client doesn't refresh until i reconnect to the server, why? [17:29] lucax, create one :) [17:29] pici so if i use sys > admin > networking will it take care of both? [17:29] * linuxninja Want'ts to take the Ubuntu 199 certification [17:29] Aar0n: The new OS doesn't have a way to format the disk? Alternatively, you can use gparted from a live-cd to reformat. [17:29] krishna, Ext4 — Max File Size: 1 EiB (for 4k block filesystem) [17:29] space_cadet: yes. [17:29] pici cool thanx a million [17:29] is it a bug for vlc ? [17:29] lucax, and yes quick look is very useful, however, it is not apart of the Finder, it is a different system entirely ;) [17:29] linuxninja: Well, this is the ubuntu support channel; if you have any questions related to the certification, I think you need to look on their website for that. [17:29] space_cadet, well the weird thing is, i'll run packet capture and it won't pick up any traffic whatsoever when trying to associate [17:30] almost: you *really* should read the pages in the link from ubottu above, but no, d indicates a directory, you cannot set that yourself [17:30] frostburn, are you there? [17:30] cabrey: hehe im lazzy, it would be cool to have a all-in-one media player like windows media or mac os x equeavalent [17:30] jaws, yes [17:30] Pici, I stuck in the disk and I just got 'error running autorun program.' [17:30] tiyowan: Ya, I sent out an email and I'm watching #ubuntu-training === yofel_ is now known as yofel === Mohsin_ is now known as MohsinJimmy [17:30] mintux, what? [17:30] tiyowan: Will see what they say [17:30] * fileserver slaps jaws around with a used condom. [17:30] fileserver: Please don't do that here. [17:30] oh, bye [17:31] cabrey for each file I clicked a new vlc open. I want only one vlc open [17:31] * tiyowan sighs. [17:31] cabrey: yeah i know what u mean... but im just a regular user [17:31] Aar0n: You tried booting from the disk you mean? [17:31] mintux, do you want them playing one at a time or all at once? [17:31] evening all [17:31] Ah no I haven't, I did try that from another disk but not with this one, I'll try with this one now [17:32] I'm getting mount.nfs: system call failed (error) [17:32] tiyowan, build your own distro, setup a nice website and create a nice "certification" for your distro and certify yourself :D [17:32] cabrey I want when I click on new file .. doesn't open new vlc and show on that opened [17:32] where can I add to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [17:32] mintux, do you want them to play one after the other or all at once? [17:33] mintux it is an option in config [17:33] capiira2: Thanks, but no thanks. :) [17:33] liamo1, .bashrc [17:33] there is a bug that prevents the config from working === max_ is now known as MaxJasoner [17:33] thanks frostburn! [17:33] https://edge.launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc fixes the bug [17:33] Hi! Has someone here installed Ubuntu on PS3? [17:33] jaws, i dont see your messages come through, type out my name so my client will highlight it. if you're seeing a system call failed, are you mounting as root? or sudo? [17:34] How would I go about making all the files in a particular directory writeable for a particular user? [17:34] JasonMoss, chown [17:34] . [17:34] [17:34] frostburn, sorry it has been many years since I used IRC. I was executing it as root. [17:34] JasonMoss, then chmod [17:34] [17:34] n2diy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:34] [17:35] JasonMoss: type $ sudo chmod -R 0777 [your point dir] -v [17:35] What if the directory is owned by say www-data, but I want a different user to be able to remotely write to files over ssh??? [17:35] Pici, I tried rebooting with the disk however I just ended up booting ubuntu as normal... [17:36] I'm writing a shell script where I have to move a file to a directory with a name that is not known (it's a firefox profile directory, so the directory name is randomstring.default). How can I do this? [17:36] n2diy: please, don't flood ;) [17:36] !permissions | JasonMoss [17:36] JasonMoss: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [17:36] JasonMoss, give the folder group permissions and add user to said group [17:36] JasonMoss, then you have to use groups [17:36] frostburn, I have also tried executing with sudo and it returns a RPC error. [17:36] jaws, heh i saw your post https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+question/73865 first hit on google [17:36] Ah. Thanks people! [17:36] Aar0n: Your computer needs to be able to boot from a CD first, you may need to setup your bios, or you may be prompted to press a key when you boot. [17:36] jaws, do you have nfs-common installed? [17:36] frostburn, Yes! [17:37] lol sorry Pici, I'll try again >_< [17:37] Also, is there a way to give a user other than root, full root privileges at all times? [17:38] frostburn, I have configured one machine with nfs-kernel-server but I saw that is not necessary just to mount a remote directory. [17:38] JasonMoss: Why would you want to do that? [17:38] JasonMoss: that's a bad idea, from a security standpoint [17:39] frostburn, now I'm back to just nfs-common on both Ubuntu 9.04 machines. [17:39] firecrotch: Yea, i know it is bad from a security standpoint, but can it be done? [17:39] jaws, what's the exact error you're seeing as sudo? i didn't see it in launchpad [17:40] frostburn, let me run it again. [17:40] Hi everyone [17:40] hi [17:40] hi [17:40] i'm looking for an OS with futuristic graphics,what would be my best bet [17:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/193579/ ; is my rc.local script correct? is it betterto be used in /etc/rcS.c/ ? [17:41] Alien_FX_Fiend, try Sabayon ... not sure [17:41] Alien_FX_Fiend: If you're expecting an answer other than Ubuntu, then you've come to the wrong place. [17:41] i am trying to compile x264, but it says "NO working C compiler found" [17:41] sorry for the off topic [17:41] i installed gcc,, build-essentials [17:41] Alien_FX_Fiend: "futuristic graphics"? [17:41] Hey, my work is going to get me a new video card for my box - does anyone know if nvidea or ati has better support right now? [17:41] !offtopic | Alien_FX_Fiend [17:41] Alien_FX_Fiend: Install Ubuntu, and customize it. [17:41] Alien_FX_Fiend: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:41] JasonMoss: again: why do want to do that? [17:41] Alien_FX_Fiend, something "alien" regarding themes lol [17:42] Alien_FX_Fiend: Kubuntu 9.04 [17:42] bbeecher, usually nvidia [17:42] ruben [17:42] can someone please have a look at my script? i adapted it from hostname.sh [17:42] is there a seperate site for kubuntu?and what's sabayon i've never heard of it [17:42] jaws, can you pastebin your /etc/exports on your ntfs server? you can obfuscate any of the folders if you want [17:42] X11: Does Kubuntu come with the new kde 4.1 or whatever its at now? [17:42] guntbert: To have a super user other than root that can modify any files remotely via an IDE programming application [17:42] frostburn, I'm getting (failed RPC, Program not registered). I did a "sudo mount IP_Address: /directory /directory [17:42] JasonMoss: yes, it can probably be done, but a better way to do things would be to give the user sudo privileges [17:43] Pici, I don't seem to have a great deal of options when I boot :/ [17:43] Alien_FX_Fiend: aren't all graphics by definition not futuristic? As one sees them in the here and now? [17:43] truthordare, are you ever going to listen to anyone? [17:43] hey geeks, i am using Simple Backup installed from Add/Remove software to back up my system. my questions are: 1. will there be any prompt after the backup is complete? 2. can i shut down the computer and don't care the progress? 3. will the backup go on after I power on the computer later? [17:43] Alien_FX_Fiend: Google is your friend. [17:43] cabrey : ? this is a new script.. i made... please have a look at it [17:43] strange sitiuation ... running hardy ... trying to install build-essential and it keeps saying that there are missing dependincies... I have a Ubuntu 8.04 server install and it is saying that the necessary version isn't available for g++ --- see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/193576/ [17:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/193579/ [17:43] Pici, I have a windows XP installer disk in my CD Drive at the moment, any advice on what my next step should be? [17:43] firecrotch: my IDE can't do sudo commands when it tries to remotely save a file. [17:43] JasonMoss: he can start that IDE via sudo [17:43] linuxninja: Did KDE is futuristic? [17:44] can anyone tell me how to get all c compilers [17:44] guntbert: The IDE is running on a windows machine and it uses SSH to open remote files [17:44] Aar0n, burn it up [17:44] how do i mark a thread as resolved in the ubuntu forum? [17:44] Aar0n: XP can wipe the drive during install. If you need help installing it, you should join ##windows [17:44] Alien_FX_Fiend, install emerald and install the fayal-white-glass theme (google it!), install compiz-settings-manager and activate the effects [17:44] Aar0n: Carefully, using gloves, extract it and package it using a "hazardous materials" sticker and send it immediately to a waste management facility. [17:44] frostburn, I'm not sure what you are asking. Please explain what you mean by "pastebin". [17:44] truthordare, you really should be using /etc/network/interfaces or network manager for that matter [17:44] X11: I would say Kde is different. I don't use it but I have seen early versions of the new kde... [17:44] !pastebin | jaws [17:44] jaws: 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 | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [17:45] jaws, do a rpcinfo -p ipaddresshere [17:45] JasonMoss: I would just have the IDE login as root if you need that level of access [17:45] JasonMoss: listen to firecrotch [17:45] The new version of KDE is pretty slick and is way more stable then when it came out [17:45] Hey everyone! [17:45] LOL TwoToneSpirit, I preferred Ubuntu I really do, It's just that I don't have the time to mess around with it at the moment with trying to get windows stuff working on it >_< [17:45] can anyone point me to a resource showing the proper syntax for mounting shares with spaces in the file name in fstab? [17:45] thanks though Pici. [17:46] biagidp, man fstab [17:46] so simple question. why does this not work http://www.progressivetalk1150.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st ? [17:46] Ok, in that case how would I go about setting roots password? I can't even login as root right now. Never prompted me for a root pass during install [17:46] linuxninja: I use Kubuntu 8.10 too nearby my Ubuntu installation and my friend said "oh, this is fantastic and futuristic"... [17:46] sudo passwd [17:46] !root | JasonMoss [17:46] JasonMoss: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:46] JasonMoss: though you *could* make the files writeable by another user too [17:46] ubottu, I'll do. I'm new to IRC. Like first time! [17:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:46] i am trying to compile x264, it says i have no working c compiler [17:46] I'm using matlab here, it starts up and stuff, but the toolbar and buttons are just...blank. You can hover over them and their description will pop up, and you can click on them and they work, but they're not there...same with the editor. What could this be? [17:46] JasonMoss: sudo passwd [17:47] bryng: please inform people about sudo before suggesting that [17:47] Can anyone tell me how to fix my laptop sound, when i plug in headphones it works, when i unplug them it does, the speakers worked fine with windows [17:47] !audio [17:47] 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 [17:47] JasonMoss: sudo passwd is completely unecessary and not recommended, please read the information ubottu has sent you about using sudo [17:47] X11: LOL! I can see why someone would say that. [17:47] cabrey : easy for u to say... its not working for me.. interfaces gives eror of eth0 not recognised and network manager aka nm-configuration-editor says some policy-kit error.. [17:47] Thanks again [17:47] thanks a lot,is emerald and fayal both specific to Ubuntu?that would make searching a whole lot easier [17:48] JasonMoss: sorry, I was not thinking clearly when I spoke about login as root, still the "other" approach seem good to me [17:48] jaws, i apologize, i need to head to a client site. I'd doublecheck to see if your cleint can reach the server, ping, and see if the port is open, nmap, there might be a firewall issue or a share configuration issue in /etc/export i should be back in a few hours though [17:48] linuxninja: ha... ha... ha... I am so sorry... [17:48] i am trying to compile x264, it says i have no working c compiler [17:48] Alien_FX_Fiend, emerald is deprecated [17:48] jj_, sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` [17:48] cabrey, i've instaled both yet it still says that [17:48] !noroot | bryng [17:48] bryng: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [17:49] http://paste.debian.net/38780/ [17:49] frostburn, I will look for you later. [17:49] sorry cross posting.. wrongly here [17:49] guntbert, it is debatable whether no root password is actually more secure [17:49] Anyone? [17:50] yes [17:50] I'm using matlab here, it starts up and stuff, but the toolbar and buttons are just...blank. You can hover over them and their description will pop up, and you can click on them and they work, but they're not there...same with the editor. What could this be? [17:50] total novice at this 1st time I have been in this sort of chat room so forgive if I get it wrong but I need info on how to remove deleted users home files. They have been entered in error as users and deleted but I would like to re-use the name [17:50] what IDE should I use for programming?is EMACS good enough? [17:50] cabrey: yes, but it is definitely not supported *here*, and thats the essential point in a support channel [17:50] Alien_FX_Fiend, take a look at Eclipse [17:50] Alien_FX_Fiend: vi [17:50] declan2: see if disabling effects affects it [17:50] vim [17:50] jrib: ok [17:50] Allien_FX_Fiend: What do you want develop? [17:50] Alien_FX_Fiend: emacs is not an IDE, it's an operating system :P (Joking.) [17:51] X11: I'm a gnome user... [17:51] !ide | Alien_FX_Fiend [17:51] Alien_FX_Fiend: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans [17:51] uh oh, here's we go :P [17:51] cabrey, i've installed both but still says i have no c compiler, is there more compilers it may need? [17:51] Alien_FX_Fiend: KWRITE, GEDIT, for PHP use GPHPEDIT... [17:51] * grawity hopes there are not going to be any emacs vs vi wars here. [17:51] jj_, what are you trying to compile? [17:51] cabrey, x264 [17:51] cabrey, i need the newest one for new encodes... [17:51] linuxninja: I like gnome too, regarding its high speed and efficient... [17:52] oh and how do i enable dual booting? [17:52] cabrey: an IDE is not a compiler in itself, thats why you need build-essentials [17:52] Anyone know how to manually install a panel applet? I can't figure out what --prefix to use for configure such that it will show up in the "Add applet..." dialog. [17:52] Hi there, I'm trying to ./configure a QT app (v4l2ucp) and it's complaining it cannot find QT, what's the prb ? libqt4-dev and libqt4-dev-tool are installed [17:52] hulya, Mabye it's a qt3 app? [17:52] guntbert, I didn't recommend a IDE to him [17:52] jj_, look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 [17:53] so simple question. why does this not work http://www.progressivetalk1150.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st ? [17:53] hulya If the program is in the repos and you're just trying to build it from scratch anyway, you can use apt-get builddep [17:53] cabrey, thanks very much [17:53] are the Ubuntu programmers actually in here or is this a betatester forum [17:53] cabrey: sorry, I didn't mean to addrss you with that, my fingers seem to have their own life ;-) [17:53] hi [17:53] Alien_FX_Fiend, support channel [17:53] guntbert, np ;) [17:53] Alien_FX_Fiend, Maybe some ubuntu contributors, but not for beta testers. Problems here should be only about release versions. [17:54] is there a tool to clone my ubuntu installation to another drive? [17:54] !irc | Alien_FX_Fiend [17:54] Alien_FX_Fiend: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [17:54] Alien_FX_Fiend, #ubuntu+1 for beta testers [17:54] Alien_FX_Fiend, there's #ubuntu-testing for that [17:54] i see well thank you [17:54] jrib: thanks!!! It works! But why? [17:54] Alien_FX_Fiend: support channel and inter-user....

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [17:57] let me reboot.. maybe sense updating after install has a issue with it [17:58] geoff1: you should repeat about every 10-15 minutes so new eyes can see your question. There are also other support options [17:58] !support > geoff1 [17:58] geoff1, please see my private message [17:58] cabrey, i will reboot to see if it clears up, thanks for the time [17:58] jj_, ok hopefully itll work :/ [17:58] geoff1: how did you delete the user?

[17:58] cabrey, yep, if not i'll let you know...

X11 [18:22] LargePrime, gksu nautilus [18:22] dear ubuntuites : is there a way, using a copy of a popular partitioning distro's live cd image, to boot from /sd2/superduperimage.iso, so I can resize my root(sd6) partition without a cd? [18:23] LargePrime, or "gksudo nautilus" [18:23] sweetchildofmine: You need an external device, but unetbootin sounds like it'd work. [18:23] On my hotkey-not-working issue, it seems that the keymapping is fine, as xev says XF86AudioMute when I press the mute key, and the shortcut is assigned in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, yet nothing happens when I press it. I can manually mute the channel just fine. [18:23] LargePrime: do not use sudo just $ gksu nautilus [18:23] no, no external disks. [18:23] i see. thanks X11 space_cadet [18:23] sweetchildofmine: ... you'd have to format the entire thing then, as far as I know. [18:23] no, it already has grub. [18:24] I want to add a custom entry to grub that loads an iso. [18:24] LargePrime: your welcome... [18:24] booting from a compressed iso? [18:24] sweetchildofmine: I know, I'm pretty sure that's impossible. What's so wrong with using an external usb thing? [18:25] space_cadet, no, i'm not interested in muying new hardware, i want to optimize my existing hardware [18:25] s/muying/buying/ [18:25] look at it like this, I partitioned my drive as "/swap(2gbsda1),/home(4gbsda2),/root(60gbsda6)". I want to shrink my /root. I can't boot from usb images, I already tried. And putting in a cd requires me to buy and burn said cd. [18:26] Can someone very kind please tell me a command that I can write in the commandline that takes a screenshot/photo from my webcam video0? I have tried searching manuals and google, but no luck at all... :( I'm getting kindra frustrated. I just want a simple photo. =( [18:26] sweetchildofmine, how old is your machine? [18:26] sweetchildofmine, because unless it's older than a 2004 machine, i can bet you CAN boot from USB [18:26] sweetchildofmine: If your bios supports usb booting, and you used a utility to extract the ISO onto the USB, then it should work. [18:26] it's an ibm t40. [18:27] and my flash drive is weird, I've iso and sys linux flashed it. [18:27] isolinux/syslinux [18:27] zagabar1: press printscreen [18:27] !patient > zagabar1 [18:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about patient [18:27] how to i use "find" command?

[18:28] * trident523 suggests unetbootin for extracting isos and making bootable USB sticks, it's never failed me. [18:28] sweetchildofmine, you ever try going into bios > go to the bios and under advance setting make the usb bootable. [18:28] * 1 year ago [18:28] jrib: just to make sure. virtualbox runs on x64 too right? [18:28] zagabar1: you should be able to pass the actual keystroke through using bash or ash [18:28] I really want to do this... the way I wanted to do this. [18:28] Alinn1: type man find in your console. [18:28] Is there any freaking way to make grub load a fake parition as a partition? [18:28] hello? [18:29] tyler_d, how? And how do I specify where the pics will go and what format? [18:29] tyler_d, I know nothing on this subject, and I found nothing nice on google. [18:29] !hi | guo [18:29] trident523: find [path...] [expression] [18:29] guo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:29] zagabar1: sounds to me like this is more a scripting question; your luck would be better in #bash or such... [18:29] hi all [18:29] tyler_d, what is #bash? [18:29] I added myself to a group with gpasswd, but that group doesn't show up with I do a groups.. do I need to restart a daemon or something? [18:30] Oh, a channel [18:30] hi. is it possible to "upgrade" from regular ubuntu to ubuntu studio without reinstalling? [18:30] sweetchildofmine, you CANNOT boot from a compressed ISO file, you have to have a filesystem [18:30] err, show up when i do a groups [18:30] sweetchildofmine: what the compressed iso you meant? is it a squashfs file? [18:30] sweetchildofmine, and your rig is capable of booting from usb [18:30] zagabar1: the terminal code is called bash scripting... #bash is a channel for questions relative to this. [18:30] hblount: install ubuntustudio-desktop [18:30] zagabar1: bash = bourne again shell [18:30] hi [18:31] it doesn't matter as long as I have some way to boot from my disk, without mounting my root partition. [18:31] tyler_d, okay, thanks. [18:31] hey all :) [18:31] sweetchildofmine: You could just boot from an ubuntu install CD, and run gparted. It'll be able to unmount it all. [18:32] or, I guess a better question would be, how do I add myself to a group? [18:32] trident523: that's it? [18:32] Various manufacturers such as ibm have predesktop options to recover the system in the event of a crash.. I should be able to set up ubuntu to do the same thing. Some people might lose their disk or not have a flash drive, and to recover their machine would mean a lot to them. [18:32] i'm having trouble mixing sound here... i have no "mix" switch/level in my volume control (using ALSA, ubuntu 9.04 [18:32] hblount: Yep. [18:32] awesome [18:33] I'm using vino + vncviewer, if i don't disable compiz on the server, the screen on the client doesn't refresh until i reconnect to the server, why? [18:33] anyone have any ideas how to enable my "mix" switch, or a workaround for the problem? [18:33] "If you are running linux/MacOS you will have to pad the rom to 2MB (0x200000 bytes).e [18:33] argh sorry [18:33] "If you are running linux/MacOS you will have to pad the rom to 2MB (0x200000 bytes)." <- how to I do that? i.e. pad a file to 2MB? [18:33] trident523: do you have an idea of how big the upgrade is? [18:33] sweetchildofmine: Yeah, because they have an entire partition dedicated to the restore utilities, which is set as bootable, and added to the MBR. In this case, grub will not take just an .iso on an partition and boot from it. You currently need an external device. [18:33] sweetchildofmine: what you wanted is not too easy handled. I ever run live install from harddisk but I use the compressed iso as it is a squashfs. [18:33] hblount: I could check for you... [18:33] tyler_d: they said I needed a way to get a pic from the cam, and that dude didn't know. Do you know a good program for it? [18:33] jrib I installed mplayer plugin using the package manager. site still does not work. I prolly should go bug the #firefox guys? [18:34] trident523: How to copy the result of "find" to a directory? [18:34] trident523: its ok. thanks dood [18:34] hblount: download of 23.8mb, install of 132mb. [18:35] Alinn1: Well, I'm not excellent around the terminal, but there should be some way to send the results to "cp." [18:35] sweetchildofmine, your talking about bartPE [18:35] trident523: awesome! [18:35] sweetchildofmine, or WINPE [18:35] or unetbootin's frugal install option. [18:35] anyone have any experience in sound recording/mixing? i'm trying to record from the line in, but i have no "mix" slider [18:35] i think i was crying in your face [18:35] Unislash: like, record the sound output back to input? [18:36] Alinn1: find -name something -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t /destination/dir [18:36] trident523: yup [18:36] Unislash: nah, but audacity is for stuff like that I think [18:36] trident523: thanks:) [18:36] sebsebseb: yup, i know, that's what i'm trying to record with :) [18:36] what must I do (if it's possible) to have /dev/sda3 (ntfs) mounted to /media/Data everytime I reboot Jaunty? [18:36] Unislash: ah ok [18:36] i've got it to the point where i can record a whisper of my output... [18:36] kinda weird [18:36] hi. what alternatives do i have in jaunty besides ekiga [18:36] Unislash: Well... some modern soundcards have stereo mix disabled, but if you're not seeing it, and you know it's there, go to volume control -> prefs -> and make sure everything is checked. [18:37] i need to configure an sip account [18:37] any idea thanks [18:37] geirha: what is "-name something" and "-print0"? [18:37] i've opened all my channels in volume control and put them all up, unmuted them, checked every switch... [18:37] Hi, my computer keeps freezing randomly. It also freezes when I try to plug a monitor into my video card or even a fan.

[18:37] Link23: Do you have an ATI video card? [18:37] GreaterCore: Format->Page [18:37] ah, and i can playback sound in audacity...

[18:39] heq: please what? you want ubuntu server with a gui like gnome? [18:39] Alinn1: -print0 will delimit all matches of find with zeroes. That ensures that filenames with spaces are handled properly.

[19:07] Sorry I am learning about setting PATHs in ubuntu. I have installed cuda. I want to copy nvcc from one directory to another. nvcc is reported as an executable. However when i cp the file as administrator it reports that no such file or directory exists! the command i used was sudo cp /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc DEST [19:07] geirha: woah, that was weird [19:07] ia32-apt-get looks nice package but no documenttation, edbian:yeah they don't have man package [19:07] problem with wireless on Jaunty, fresh install: installed ndiswrapper and drivers for my card while blacklisting b43; card is now not detected by system (was previously wlan0). The problem initially arose from an inability to connect to WEP networks because iwconfig could not set the key [19:07] liamo1: shouldn't that be /usr/local/bin/cuda/nvcc? [19:08] what software can i use to make a bootable windows usb drive? [19:08] there is unetbootin but only for linux [19:08] OK thanks for that i'm learning slowly [19:08] jontec: why were you using iwconfig to set the key? [19:08] !tab | liamo1 [19:08] liamo1: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:08] darnell: why would you want one of those? this is Ubuntu support channel, try ##windows [19:08] I am thinking ia32-apt-get looks very promising project, but they are not famous for some reason [19:09] raylu: I tried using NetworkManager, wifi-radar, and kwlan; when I launched wifi-radar from the terminal I noticed that it was using iwconfig (I noticed the same error output) so I am assuming all of the programs use this method to set the key? [19:09] i know what it is. im asking anyone here if they have any ideas [19:09] liamo1: I have never used "PATHS" but I can tell you that if you are trying to type a local file name you can use the tab key to eliminate small errors. For example if I was trying to get to "/usr/local/bin/script.sh" I could type cd /u *tab and it would fill the in the rest of usr or list all the possible folders. This is particularly handy with long file names. === mdm__ is now known as mdm [19:10] jontec: strange. what was the error that you got when trying to set the key manually? [19:10] liamo1: Then you would have "cd /usr" and you could add "/lo" so you have /usr/lo *press tab twice* and get the rest of "local" Do you understand?? [19:10] edbian thanks for the info [19:10] darnell: you want to make a windows boot drive you would probably need to use a windows tool.. I don't think mkfs does these kinds of things.. you probably need windows files [19:10] liamo1: NP I suspect that you simply have a typo in your cp command [19:10] raylu: it was error SET ENCODE... using syntax like `sudo iwconfig key ` [19:11] jontec: ok. do you have the ndiswrapper module loaded? [19:11] raylu: I can't exactly reproduce it now... the card is no longer detected [19:11] raylu: I think so... it was appended to /etc/modules [19:11] jontec: lsmod | grep ndis [19:11] raylu: ok i tired one that i know works on the ipod --> http://pastebin.com/d5dcd0416 [19:11] jontec: also, ndiswrapper -l [19:11] jontec: To load a module run : sudo modprobe [19:12] hello how to put what im listenin on ubuntu 9.04 on Amsn help i need [19:12] raylu: yeah, I can see an entry for it [19:12] raylu: :( still not playing video from mplayer [19:12] phase_shift314: and that didn't play either?

[19:13] jontec: you have to set DISPLAY [19:13] mdm: what? [19:14] mdm: where would I set it and what does it do? [19:14] jontec: it can not open your display it is either not set, or you do not have xvideo [19:14] jontec: try export DISPLAY=:0 and then try adding -vo x11 to it [19:14] mdm: I'm not the guy with the video problem... I have the wireless problem [19:14] sorru jontec I thought that was your pastebin :) [19:14] can anyone tell me how to fix the window placement issue without ccsm? [19:15] so guys, I guess no one has used ia32 or need to install 32 bits packages on his 64 bits ubuntu [19:15] Patrick9: I wasn't even aware there was a "window placement issue".. can you explain? [19:15] phase_shift314: well... i have no idea then. there's something wrong with playback on your system and there's something wrong with avidemux or the way you used it. i also have no experience with ipods, so i'm out of useful ideas [19:16] MiddleLinuxAdmin: installed 32bit packages, yes... used ia32-apt-get to do it, no [19:16] Slart: all of my windows open in the top left corner. seems this simple problem hasnt been solved yet. [19:16] phase_shift314: i think mdm was trying to help you, though [19:16] Slart: how did u do it, chroot? [19:16] Patrick9: do any of your windows have any boarders or controlls? [19:16] MiddleLinuxAdmin: I used dpkg most of the time [19:16] Patrick9: it's the same if you use a live cd? [19:17] raylu: well thanks anyway i'll keep diggin around [19:17] Slart: I cant remember [19:17] Slart: does the same thing happen for you? [19:17] any idea how to give permission to the wireless network manager (or something like that) to access the keyring without asking me permission? [19:17] slart:so you locate the package by yourself [19:17] jontec: and ndsiwrapper -l? [19:17] Patrick9: nope [19:17] Patrick9: The default window manager (when compiz isn't running) is called metacity. There is a gui tool all over the internet if you search "how to configure metacity" or you can use gconf-tool [19:17] LargePrime: are you actually using mplayer plugin? It is not enough to install the package [19:17] MiddleLinuxAdmin: I manually downloaded the package === ohir_ is now known as ohir [19:18] Patrick9: haven't heard of anyone else with that problem either.. is it reported on launchpad? [19:18] Patrick9: what you are discribing sounds like a display without a window manager. if the windows have no boarders and no controls and you can not move them arround the desktop then you need to run a window manager [19:18] jrib. How would I know? [19:18] LargePrime: about:plugins [19:18] raylu: first it provides me a warning about /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper not having the .conf file extension, then it says bcmwl5: driver installed, device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: ssb) [19:18] Patrick9: What happens if in a terminal you run metacity --replace [19:18] ?? [19:18] Slart mdm: I got metacity thats it [19:19] Patrick9: can you move then windows? [19:19] anyone know what actually does jaunty jackalope mean ? [19:19] mdm: yes [19:19] rameshwo, it is a code name [19:19] Patrick9: then what is the issue? [19:19] rameshwo, traditional [19:19] edbian: I did that and my shadows turned off [19:19] rameshwo: all versions of Ubuntu have been named after an animal [19:19] rameshwo: you meant to ask why google doesn't work for you? [19:19] jrib I have the plugin. should I disable vlc and the windows one? [19:20] rameshwo: a jackalope is a mix between a rabbit and an antilope. Mainly a rabbit with woods. [19:20] mdm: anytime I open new window they all open in the top left corner of the my screen, not where I last closed them. [19:20] Patrick9: Your shadows?? [19:20] LargePrime: sure [19:20] Joker_-_: and jaunty? [19:20] raylu: the warning says that the configuration file will not be found in future versions without the extension... I don't know if it applies to this one or not [19:20] Patrick9: unless the app you use is aware of your window manager and can save its settings that is normal behavior [19:20] thanks guys [19:20] the MIT keyserver both refuses to revoke my key and refuses to accept a new one [19:20] take care [19:21] Patrick9: some will even open no matter what you set according to the focus or the mouse position. Its pretty much up to each app to adhear to the window manager [19:21] kabdotinfo: well, means "kind". It's a derivate from french's "Gentil". [19:21] kabdotinfo: one could say it's "friendly rabbit with woods" [19:21] geirha, what wrong with this "find /home/lewion -iname "*.sh" -exec tar zcvfr bestand.shellscripts.tar.gz {} \;" [19:21] it needs to search all files ending on .sh and tarring them together [19:21] :) [19:22] jrib ok disabled all media plugins. still broke [19:22] whats wrong with it... [19:22] Joker_-_: with woods? [19:22] LargePrime: when you right click on the media, do you have a menu? [19:22] i have a usb guitar cable (made by first act, got it at target) that i cant seem to get to work. ubuntu seems to recognize it, but i can't get a signal or record with it. it didnt come with any software or cds, just the cable. it works on my vista comp. any ideas how to fix? [19:22] lewion: That will tar each file, overwriting the previous one [19:22] kabdotinfo: woods... check a picture of a male antilope [19:22] yep jrib [19:22] geirha, so how do i do it correctly? [19:22] LargePrime: mplayer plugin menu? [19:22] -A hasn't worked either [19:23] kabdotinfo: http://www.lawnjockeymusic.net/_wizardimages/Jackalope.jpg [19:23] lewion: find /home/lewion -iname "*.sh" -print0 | xargs -0 tar zcvrf bestand.shellscripts.tar.gz [19:23] I only have a grey square where I would have the pic above the player and where the player would be [19:23] lewion, -f needs to be the last option. try find /home/lewion -iname "*.sh" -exec tar zcvrf bestand.shellscripts.tar.gz {} \; [19:24] and the grey square is smaller than it should be [19:24] jrib [19:24] Joker_-_: horns? [19:24] both of them give the same fault [19:24] LargePrime: does your menu have the option for "play"? [19:24] I'll copy it [19:24] kk...I just got my laptop today and I have 238 gigs of free space on my HD. If I want to dual boot Ubuntu, how much hd space should I give it? [19:24] find /home/lewion -iname "*.sh" -exec tar zcvrf bestand.shellscripts.tar.gz {} \; [19:24] ow [19:24] no, it is the standard right click menu [19:24] tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' option [19:24] Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. [19:24] hblount: USB is a connection bus, nothing less, nothing more. If you plug something into it you still need a module for it (what windows calls a driver). Even then you have to have a program to use whatever device that module made. [19:24] lewion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:24] that's the fault [19:24] sorry floodbot :p [19:24] Dethroned: depends what you are going to do with it.. a base install needs about 10 GB or so.. [19:24] Dethroned: ubuntu needs minimum 2GB just for the OS Usually you give it at least 5GB and then however much room you need for your own files. [19:25] lewion: Right, lose the -r :) [19:25] lewion, that's because you are using both 'r' and 'c' -- i think you should drop 'c' [19:25] really? :D [19:25] kabdotinfo: I usually speak french and it's called "bois" in french, wich is "woods" in english, but thats a lousy textual translation. It might be called horns... altho in french, horns are more related to cars/motorcycles, as a speaker or kinf of trumpet (horn?!) that makes a loud sound :P [19:25] c = create right :s [19:25] you can't drop the basic operation :s [19:25] Dethroned: you need about 10G for the OS, the same ammount of physical memory for swap and the rest is a matter of how you use the system [19:25] I'm going to use the Windows portion for games but I might use the ubuntu part for word processing etc with OpenOffice [19:25] lewion, and 'r' is append - which conflicts with 'c' [19:26] true [19:26] mediaplayerconnectivity shows no media links jrib [19:26] lewion: -r will create if the archive doesn't exist, but you can't append to a gziped archive [19:26] Dethroned: Make sure you install windows first and ubuntu second. Windows is too stupid to understand dual booting. [19:26] zo how do I get all those files together [19:26] LargePrime: umm, what does mediaplayerconnectivity have to do with anything? [19:26] my search result [19:26] in the tar [19:26] :p [19:26] Joker_-_: So in short, a friendly rabbit with a trumpet ;P [19:26] I already have Windows on here [19:26] lewion: find /home/lewion -iname "*.sh" -print0 | xargs -0 tar zcvf bestand.shellscripts.tar.gz [19:26] Dethroned: Than you're good to go! [19:26] Wundebar! [19:26] .undernet.org [19:27] I just thought it would show the page I am seeing has NO media links in it [19:27] Hi, I have a problem with ubuntu 9.04, i have an amd 64 processor, computer freeze very often [19:27] ok and do you care to tell me why that works? :D [19:27] I've heard something about a swap partition with dual booting. What is this? [19:27] i have both version 32 bits and 64 bits [19:27] !swap | Dethroned [19:27] Dethroned: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [19:27] both freeze [19:27] kabdotinfo: nah, with woods, things on it's head made looking like a branch. Look at the picture :P http://www.lawnjockeymusic.net/_wizardimages/Jackalope.jpg [19:27] I just thought it would show the page I am seeing has NO media links in it jrib [19:27] whick is strange? [19:27] oriol: usual suspects are cooling problems.. unless you've got some other details about the problem [19:27] find prints the filelist to stdout, which is piped to stdin of xargs. xargs turns each element of stdin into a command line argument to the following command [19:27] lewion: ^ [19:28] Dethroned: swap is used as a sort of extension of ram. You should have a swap partition of about 1 - 2GB [19:28] so you can't do that with a -exec ? [19:28] Dethroned: Windows does the same thing but they call it the "page file" [19:28] Joker_-_: The joker can't spot jokes? ;) [19:28] oriol: when you say freeze do you mean its unresponisve to the keyboard? does it display anything? does it respond to a ping from the network? [19:28] mdm: so if ubuntu recognizes the device but theres no signal from guitar and the usb cable didnt come with anything am i out of luck? [19:28] kabdotinfo: Gues i'm not *that* good in english yet :) [19:28] lewion: You can, if you use -r instead of -c, and not gzip it untill afterwards [19:28] LargePrime: http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/791/prime.png do you see that or not? [19:29] kabdotinfo: I miss a lot of subtile / semi-subtile jokes, indeed :P [19:29] hmm :) [19:29] yes it is unresponsive to keyboard, well when i press alt + bloqsys + b it restart [19:29] thanks for the info yet again :) [19:29] Does the 9.04 make it easier to make a swap partition? [19:29] hblount: Add the volume applet to your gnome panel and open it up. [19:29] hblount: if lsusb sees it, then its registerd to the bus, you need to look up its ID that lsusb gave you and see what module it has. If you are lucky its just a matter of a modprobe, if not you better learn to code a module in C [19:29] Hello. [19:29] lewion: find /home/lewion -iname "*.sh" -exec tar rvf bestand.shellscripts.tar {} \; ; gzip bestand.shellscripts.tar [19:29] Dethroned: The installer makes it for you if you choose "guided" [19:29] jontec: that warning can be safely ignored [19:29] I need some help with driver installation [19:29] jontec: does ifconfig -a show your device? [19:30] hblount: type lsusb and pastebin the output [19:30] mdm, [19:30] edbian: Will that still allow me to choose my partition sizes for Windows and Ubuntu? [19:30] Joker_-_: Woods is similar to forest for me, never heard woods as something else, though I'm from Sweden.. so what do I know? :P [19:30] I'm having trouble getting my ethernet to work. [19:30] raylu: no, it doesn't. T_T [19:31] raylu: I'm guessing that that's because I blacklisted b43 and this driver is not working? [19:31] Greetings. I have a folder I created under /var/www. I tried to set the permissions with chown -R www-data /var/www/dir. I put a file called m.html and chown'd that to www-data as well which contained the text hello world. trying to go to http://localhost/dir/m.html results in a file not found, which i assume is a permissions problem. I'm not sure exactly what I should be doing. [19:31] kabdotinfo: guess it's called woods :P [19:31] mdm, it responses to alt + bloqsys + b [19:31] bye [19:31] only [19:31] Dethroned: yes it does, if you dont go with full automagic (i.e. choose guided partitioning) [19:31] salut [19:31] Dethroned: Yes. In my opinion the easiest was to do it is to open the LIVE CD and create an area on your harddrive that as "unallocated" (meaning it is unformatted) and then in the installer choose "guided - use available empty space" [19:32] oriol: if it responds to the keyboard input its not frozen [19:32] mdm: sorry i'm noob. what exactly does that mean to do? [19:32] lewion, you could use -exec like this. find /home/lewion -iname "*.sh" -exec tar czvf bestand.shellscripts.tar.gz {} + [19:32] hello [19:32] mpearlst: hmm.. wouldn't that give you a permission error? [19:32] lewion, note the + instead of \; there [19:32] mpearlst: does it work if you place it in /var/www? [19:32] I have a usb drive that is constantly getting disconnected on its own [19:32] how i can get data from ubuntu to XP on virtual box ? [19:33] and that does? [19:33] how can i solve this problem [19:33] jrib: Correct. There are other directories under /var/www which work also. [19:33] jrib Not since noon. That is that I usually see. Now I see http://bayimg.com/CAAiJaaco [19:33] how can i restore the system without restarting when i have this problem ? [19:33] sky_1: you can setup a "shared folder" that you can access using some kind of network thing in the vm [19:33] hblount: a linux system has various tools to inveistate its hardware, lsusb lists all devices it sees on the USB bus, gives its ID (which is unique, or should be to the hardware) and possibly a string it provides as to what the thing is [19:33] mpearlst: pastebin ls -l /var/www /var/www/dir [19:33] One second please [19:33] cool 3 different ways I'm gonna ROCK at skool xD [19:33] lewion, + causes all the files found by find to be passed to the command in -exec together .. while with \; each file is passed in separately, one at a time [19:34] Slart: but dont see this folder in virtual XPO !

[19:36] LargePrime: can you disable media player connectivity? [19:36] jrib yep, done [19:36] i found a website with a possible solution : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 [19:36] they say it is dangerous [19:36] LargePrime: same? [19:37] darkham: one possible option is a addon for Pidgin that lets you use skype through pidgin, and then pidgin can store all your conversation logs [19:37] oriol: what is lsusb or pastebin? because neither is. [19:37] jrib yes [19:37] Slart: One can say that I need support as to understand what it means ;) [19:37] hello guys [19:37] LargePrime: create a new firefox profile [19:37] what channel talks about computer hardwares? [19:37] Hi all, why does firefox show a gnome filemanger, when uploading files, although I am on KDE 4.2.4 ??? [19:38] mib_e7gek0m8: #hardware [19:38] thanks jrib [19:38] jrib, i'll google how to do that [19:38] kabdotinfo: =) I hear they have an antlers-expert in #ubuntu-offtopic.. really good with those things [19:38] uh, yeah i read the topic and have been searching about this issue....didnt see anything about lsusb [19:38] darkham: http://eion.robbmob.com/ [19:38] hblount: no it tells you about pastebin [19:38] eshat, do you have ubuntu-desktop & kubuntu-desktop installed? [19:38] Slart: haha :) [19:38] i don't know :) [19:38] mpearlst: weird. I don't see how it can be a permissions issue though. Try clearing your browser's cache [19:38] eshat, firefox uses Gtk rather than Qt [19:39] jrib: Ok. Please hold. [19:39] kazagistar: ok, i know, but peeple on pidgin channel said me about the instability of the plugin and they haven't no interest to fix/job on it... [19:39] [Question] I'm trying to compile a package. Then there's an error "/bin/bash: dist: command not found". So I install dist and nmh, but the same error displays yet. How can I fix? [19:39] jrib: i'm still getting a 404 on a different machine. Any thoughts? [19:40] jrib: Other directories (such as the wiki dir) are working fine. [19:40] see this, http://dust.u1i.info/screenshots/Mr.Dust-desktop-20090612-03m40m17s.png [19:40] darkham: I used it for quite a while about a year ago (until I stopped using Skype), and found it rather stable, but things might have changed [19:40] mpearlst: restart apache, but you shouldn't have to. If it persists, I would try #apache [19:41] Understood. Thank you again for your help. I'm going to restart and see if that helps [19:41] How can i retrieve a list of folders i share? [19:41] Hey, does anyone know how to reconfigure jaunty to use python2.5 by default? [19:42] I tried dpkg-reconfigure [19:42] bbeecher: you don't want to do that, just call it explicitly if your script needs it [19:42] can someone help my install some kind of decent drivers for my graphics card ATI Xpress 200m, I've tried two times to install ATI binary x.org driver and both times my laptop crashes and won't shoe the login screen. My ubuntu version is 9.04. Glxgears shows that my fps is 250. [19:42] jrib: unfortunately I have to use 2.5 for work, and that needs to be the default version called by twisted and some other tools [19:43] bbeecher: you may break some scripts that expect it to not be 2.5 though [19:44] Mr_Dust, you miss a command named dist [19:44] jrib: I know - pip isn't working already. I ended up just switching the version of python under /usr/bin, but I'd like to use apt to grab some packages [19:44] interesting problem that [19:44] geirha, how do I count the number of sh scripts that I archived into the tar.gz (reads it out of the tar) and show that in echo? [19:45] jrib: if I have to just compile them then I could do that, but I'd rather automate it if I can [19:45] leagris: I know. so I install dist and nmh. but the same message apprears. [19:45] hi. my network card (RTL8168B) does not work when booting the new 2.6.28-13 kernel, but has worked with all previous. is this a known problem? [19:45] wenas [19:45] jrib: I was able to resolve the problem. FYI: I had an alias specified in my apache config file. Go figure. Thank you again for your help! [19:45] bbeecher: if you install 2.5 from the repositories, then the libraries will be available for 2.5 === Orest is now known as Orest^bnc [19:46] Mr_Dust, the command dist may belong to some any package name. You can install apt-file that enable you to search file names within uninstalled packages === Orest^bnc is now known as Orest [19:46] So [19:46] how stable is unstable? [19:46] jrib: reinstall it? ok, I'll try that. Thanks! [19:47] I install nautilus, and it changes my autostart.sh to run a bunch of gnome stuff [19:47] Mr_Dust, after installing apt-fil do a sudo apt-file update [19:47] that previously did not run [19:47] also, instead of bmpanel it now uses gnome-panel [19:47] and i have the stupid gnome menu at the top, even though i'm not running gnomme [19:47] what the hell happened/ [19:47] why can't i just use nautilus without changing everything about my system? [19:47] ubuntu spanish [19:47] leagris: humm.. I'm doing. [19:48] ALL HAIL jrib. SO GOOD THAT CAN FIX OTHER STUFF, like firefox [19:48] hola ubuntu en español [19:48] and the firefox guys couldnot [19:48] !es | damian_ [19:48] damian_: 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. [19:48] leagris: Then.. how can I find the package that includes dist? [19:48] !es [19:48] jrib: no, apt thinks I already have 2.5 installed - it's auto upgrading the pkg I'm requesting to be the 2.6 version. You want me to try removing it and then reinstalling? [19:49] Mr_Dust, you may do a apt-file search bin/dist or juste apt-file search dist [19:49] amee2k: it comes from debians unstable and it means things that are currently under development. it is filled with lots of beta code. And the fact you are asking what it is probbly means you should not run it [19:49] how can i kill my vpn connection from the command line? [19:49] zapas28: if you have any questions, please state them in channel instead of OMing random people. thank you. [19:49] apt-file [19:49] leagris: thank you. but there're too many packages. wow.. [19:49] ? [19:49] I have a computer repair and small-shop. I would like to offer to citizens of my small city a free internet use, especially for students, not rich people and Linux interested. I have already installed the computer and Linux but now I need to shapping the bandwidth into the Linux client.. In more I need to permit to see the gateway Ip address only. Do you think it is possible? [19:50] How might I go about making a program run as a daemon? I execute the program I want in rc.local, but it doesn't seem to work correctly. [19:50] FabParma: quite, and its rather easy too [19:50] mdm: i'd like to have awesome3, but for that i'd either need to switch to unstable or compile it from scratch. i'm running 9.04. are there reasons to prefer either of the two ways? [19:50] how do I count the number of sh scripts that I archived into the tar.gz (reads it out of the tar) and show that in echo? anyone? :p [19:50] ok amee2k, what is Oming? [19:50] a typoed version of "PMing" [19:51] Mr_Dust, my quick search did not found any dist commands pertaining to any ubuntu packages [19:51] mdm: ok i see what pastebin is. but is it ok if i just type the single line that represents the usb guitar cable that i'm having trouble with? [19:51] lewion, give me a few mins :) [19:52] amee2k: if you want cutting edge software, along with all its headaches go to unstable. If you want mostly a working system then use stable and compile your own prepackages keeping in mind those packages can destablise your system. Then of course you have to know how to compile code and create pacakges [19:52] yes hblount, if you can identify it [19:52] mdm: what sorry? [19:52] lewion: tar has an option to list the files it contains, then use grep on the output? [19:52] Mr_Dust, the dist thing may belong to an unsupported environment, you appear to compile some java application. Did you web search the error and application name? [19:52] why does installing nautilus install gnome, too? [19:52] leagris: really? my search found these. http://paste.ubuntu.com/193669/ [19:53] FabParma: what you are asking is can you setup a captive portal and bandwidth shaping in linux. I told you it was quite posible and even easy to do so. There are countless howtos on that subject alone. [19:53] I will rich :D [19:53] mdm: hm... i see [19:53] mdm: i think i'll make some time to compile it then. thanks :) [19:53] bbeecher: no, that's not what I meant. I believe that if you have 2.5 and 2.6 both installed, then apt will install modules for both version when you install a module with apt [19:53] amee2k, maybe .... [19:54] Bus 004 device 003: ID 0d8c:0008 c-media electronics, inc. [19:54] JohnWittle: becouse both are tightly integrated [19:54] leagris: I tried to compile cubrid that is a DBMS. but I don't know it uses java or not. [19:54] mdm: remember that i need to do it in the local client, not on a router [19:54] mmm maybe? [19:54] lewion: something like: tar tvf | egrep -i '\.sh\b' | wc -l [19:55] oh, right. i forgot the wc at the end [19:55] FabParma: I would do it on the firewall [19:55] erUSUL: After I have installed nautilus, how do I remove all of the packages that came with it? [19:55] thanks losher :) [19:55] uhm :D [19:55] losher: why extract the tar ? [19:55] raylu: I'll be back... I just moved the drivers in the DRIVERS_US folder to the main folder to see if ndiswrapper needed more files that weren't available in that folder... I doubt it, but it's worth a try [19:55] leagris: my error message is http://paste.ubuntu.com/193671/ [19:55] Hello, Is anyone here good with configuring conky? [19:55] erUSUL: wouldn't that just list the contents? [19:55] iirc extract is -x [19:55] mdm: Bus 004 device 003: ID 0d8c:0008 c-media electronics, inc. [19:56] BBS? Anybody have any experience setting one up in ubuntu? [19:56] erUSUL: it doesn't actually do the extract. It just lists the contents, one file per line "t" does the list "x" would do an extract [19:56] jrib: ahhh, I misunderstood... well I should be good then, but something isn't working right. I'll see if I can figure out why this package (mysqldb) is installing right in 2.6 and not 2.5 [19:56] amee2k: oops you are right... [19:56] explain please cuz it works :D [19:56] FabParma: are you sure that isn't a usb headset? [19:56] sorru hblount [19:56] Sorry, off topic, but how can I join another channel in XChat-Gnome. I tried the Network-Channels thing and it does not allow me to connect. I'm try to join #mysql [19:56] lewion: are you asking me to explain how it works? [19:56] indeed [19:56] :D [19:56] bbeecher: it may depend on the package too. Maybe it says it only works on 2.6. Check the control file in the source package [19:57] !source > bbeecher [19:57] bbeecher, please see my private message [19:57] Hey guys, thanks for all the help. My computer is not recognizing my sound card. I upgraded Alsa, then ran 'alsaconf', which supposedly detected and configured my sound card, it ran with only one error: no alsa mixer.

[19:58] oh i see the other dude got it first :) [19:58] rich____, you probably could explain too? :p [19:58] indeed =) [19:58] yes indeed [19:58] lewion: tar tvf outputs one line of text for each file in the archive. Try it... [19:58] rich____: that would count this.is.not.a.shell.script too :) [19:58] the tar part before the pipe lists the files in the archive [19:59] try it on its own [19:59] Anybody using wireless ATH9k with Jaunty successfully? I cannot see any wireless networks. [19:59] mdm: yeah thats what i saw when i searched for the problem. but i think it also applies to this device because in vista it says same thing and it works [19:59] the pipe passes each oline to grp, which matches against the pattern .sh [19:59] then wc -l counts the number of lines [19:59] losher, ok I see the output [19:59] hblount: I would assume this is some sort of analog to midi input, the device you gave me is a USB OUTPUT device, it is a headset [20:00] hey all, i am currently using Hardy Server 32bit, is it not a good idea to upgrade to the 64bit without reinstalling the OS? or can i just do dist-upgrade? [20:00] amee2k, yes it would :) [20:00] I'm at the partition stage of installing Ubuntu. The first option shows that Ubuntu will only have the recommended size for installation. If I go with this will I be able to make it larger? [20:00] kristau: no, that is a bad idea from what I hear [20:00] lewion: then 'grep --i '\.sh\b' filters out and pass through only those lines which have a dot followed by sh followed by 'end of word' i.e. all filenames ending in .sh [20:00] Dethroned: you can resize partitions later on with gparted if you need to [20:00] kazagistar: was that for me? [20:00] i.e better than my attempt ;) [20:01] JuJuBee: Is that easy to use? [20:01] losher, the end of word thingy that's the \b? [20:01] Kirsch: yes :P === soeiro is now known as errors-FoFo [20:01] Yes, very === yacc_ is now known as yacc [20:01] kk...Thanks man [20:01] np [20:01] rich____, you guys all rock :D [20:01] lewion: if you leave off the \b it will still work, but it will also allow .shoe .shine .shooby-dop as well as .sh [20:01] mdm: i see. i guess it thinks its an output device....is there a way to change to input? it is not midi, its just a mic essentially [20:01] hi [20:01] kazagistar: so it is recommended to completey ditch my system drive and reinstall? [20:01] Kirsch: reinstall your system entirely if you switch architectures, yes [20:01] losher, aha i see so it gives you only the .sh bits [20:01] kazagistar: got it, thanks! [20:02] lewion: so now you have a line for each file ending in .sh, and you just count the lines, with wc -l [20:02] losher, and ash rich has already pointed out the wc -l counts the lines and gives the nuber? [20:02] losher, :D [20:02] hblount: if its a mic input see if alsa sees it, its quite posible you only need to unmute it [20:02] losher, where did you learn all this :P [20:03] kazagistar: is there any reason why you wouldn't recommend to go to 64bit at this point? i know my hardware can handle it [20:03] lewion: years of command line usage. the \b etc. are called 'regular expressions' & they crop up over & over again. There are books on them.... [20:03] kazagistar: and obviously, i'm talking about Server 9.04 [20:03] mdm: alsa sees it, and i've checked its not muted. it calls it "audio device" [20:03] losher, the \b is backspace in echo though right? :D [20:03] hblount: as a input, not an output? [20:04] i find regex particularly difficult to remember [20:04] lewion: yeah. it looks the same, but with echo it's not a regular expression matching end of word, it's just a backspace. Confusing, isn't it? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [20:05] mdm: it doesnt specifically say input or output, just "audio device" [20:05] losher, well to be honest it is :D [20:05] frostburn, I put /etc/exports ../host.allow & .deny in the pastebin. I configured everything using the Ubuntu Community Documentation. At this point I have not configured fstab or any auto mount options. Let me know when you get back on... [20:05] hblount: what does alsa reports its inputs and outputs as? [20:05] Hello can anyone help me with this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/192964/plain/ [20:05] alongside the different keyboard shortcuts, language semantic, you need a computer for a brain :o [20:05] losher, but as I have to know all this stuff by tommorow, I'm guessing I'm gonna ask you guys a lot of questions today :D [20:06] lewion - university? [20:06] rich____, jup [20:06] lewion: egrep (and family) uses regular expressions. Almost anything where you are searching for a string supports some kind of regular expressions because they are so useful [20:06] losher, I used grep though any big difference? [20:06] jaws, i just got back, but i wont have time to do much other troubleshooting, would you put that output into launchpad? [20:06] losher, because I'm bundeling it now in a shell that does all those things :P [20:06] mdm: well nothing specifically says input. but it lists line-in (mic jack), and microphone (built in mic on my laptop) [20:07] hey, kann mir jemand erklaeren, warum der update-manager bei einigen paketen "Ermitteln der Distribution ist gescheitert." anzeigt? [20:07] Can anyone recommend BBS software? [20:07] losher: from memory e = extended? [20:07] !de [20:07] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [20:07] lewion: egrep (extended grep) has extensions to do tricks that grep can't do. and fgrep (fixed grep) explicitly doesn't support regexps... [20:07] cool [20:08] frostburn, Okay, I'll do. I'll keep working on this but is seems like I have tried everything. I'm about to break out my old Solaris Network Admin Books. [20:08] hblount: I would think you have another sound card in that system make sure you are looking at the USB device and not whatever other card you have [20:08] losher, so I have to use egrep on this one? [20:08] what is the default setting for sources.list? mine only contains kernel.org and debian repos... and no multiverse [20:08] lewion: most editors will have regexp support of some kind built in. So will most programming languages [20:08] frostburn, Ping between both machines is good. [20:08] and hblount if its unmuted, working simply play something on the guitar and see if it comes out the pc speakers [20:09] raylu: still no dice :( [20:09] lewion: for the simple regexp we used, grep or egrep would have sufficed. It turns out that egrep is faster, so I almost always use egrep [20:09] losher: grep .sh$ would work also? [20:09] frostburn, rpcinfo -p for both machines looks good, I think. [20:10] sorry, i was in the wrong channel [20:10] raylu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/230047 lists the problem I was initially having [20:10] rich____: yes. but don't forget to escape the period, and keep it all in quotes, so the shell doesn't expand them before grep sees them [20:10] lewion: i did this in unix system processing this year at university also :) [20:10] ok something is wierd. both gkrellm and ghnome-system-monitor are reporting 50-60% load on my processor which shouldnt be because i have almost nothing running but i cant see whats using all that power in tops nor my system monitor [20:11] rich____, hehe :D Second year? [20:11] losher - just finished 2nd yes :) [20:11] losher, thanks for the already wonderfull advice :p [20:11] rich____, that was for me right? [20:11] what i see in my monitor adds up to less then 30% [20:11] * losher says check out http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html for a quick tutorial [20:11] lewion - yes [20:11] salut [20:12] two l's [20:12] ha [20:12] mdm: it shows a few different "devices" that i can control volume from. nothing gets a signal [20:12] rich____, I'm at the end of my 2nd year :) Have linux and OS/400 examinations tommorow [20:12] rich____: just finished 2nd childhood :-) [20:12] yowshi: you are running gkrellm under X and with a display and window manager, are you SURE you are not running anything? [20:12] #unbutu-fr [20:12] losher - makes you 36 or 42? [20:12] :) [20:12] losher, ? :D [20:13] rich____, why those 2? :P [20:13] rich____: older, I'm afraid.... [20:13] im thinkin of setting up a hotmail/msn account to use alongside my yahoo account in pdgin, now does the inbuilt msn protocol work or do I have to install that other thing called "pecan"? [20:13] emeraude: /join #ubuntu-fr ;) [20:13] hblount: then you may have to setup a config for it in alsa, but if it sees it as an audio device you have everything to make it work [20:13] losher - childhood = 18 or 21??? [20:13] mdm: i said almost nothing. other then gkrellms and a few other programmes IE pidgin evolution and the system basics i have nothing running. i ahve an e6600 here that nshouldnt be taking up 50% of my processor [20:13] can someone pastebin the ubuntu 9.04 32bit default sources.list ?!?!?!? thanks [20:13] rich____: oops. guess I'm on my 3rd. then.... [20:14] mdm: abnd nthat doesnt account for the fact that gnome-system-monitor doesnt show anything or cvombinmation of programmes eating up that processor power [20:14] losher - did you mean you are a grandparent? [20:14] can anyone direct me to instructions on getting my tablet pc working? [20:14] mdm: whats that involve? [20:14] losher, I'm honored that you're helping me then :) [20:14] Whenever I try to upgrade from 8.04 -> 8.10 I only get 30kB/s from the repos, and after a while it fails altogether... I've tried the main and UK ones with the same result... is it me, or something I'm doing wrong? [20:14] Hi, could I ask somebody willing to help me, where should I place a .fw (firmware) file? [20:14] yowshi: use top and see what it reports. Keep in mind top is VERY minimal. [20:14] rich____: no, just meant I'm old... [20:14] lol fair enough [20:14] :p [20:14] hblount: using aplay and seeing what others have already setup for it [20:14] kunago: /lib/firmware [20:14] yowshi: use htop instead [20:15] kunago: /lib/firmware/ or /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) [20:15] lewion: This is a support channel. It exists for people to help each other. Isn't that the neatest thing? [20:15] ircnickiuse: system > adminsitration > software sources, select as you like, no need to edit sources.list directly [20:15] dajhorn: erUSUL: Thanks a lot, will try that out. [20:15] losher, It is :D [20:15] have to install htop one moment [20:15] kunago: Install the linux-firmware package if you don't already have it. [20:16] tablet pc? [20:16] dajhorn: Well I do but this one seems to be missing. It's a DVB-T device and in the log I found a note it is missing. [20:16] cankoy, I only have shell access to my desktop install [20:17] Brb people gonna take a 5 min study break :) === dYna is now known as basti [20:17] Hi. Upgrade to hardy, deleted all pidgin log files. Anyone notice something like that? [20:17] mdm VSpike htop reports something similiar. the numbers show higher in htop but nowhere near the 50-70% grellm and gnome-system-monitor is reporting [20:18] mdm VSpike hell even htop at the top of that there reports a 50-70% load but the numbers in cpu% dont add up to that [20:18] nobody knows anything about tablet pc functionality under kubuntu? [20:18] yowshi: that usually means the time is kernel time [20:18] mdm: see what others have setup for it? [20:18] yowshi: you can tweak the htop settings to show more details [20:19] VSpike: what is kernel time and tweak to show more detail how? [20:19] yowshi: neither top not htop really can tell you what is going on, if you actualy want to see the cpu stats install sar [20:19] can anyone help me troubleshoot mounting iPod nano under jaunty please? [20:19] resnet - i dont, but i will do some googling if you can repeat the question [20:19] and yowshi it is quite likly gkrellm is reporting bad numbers [20:19] ircnickiuse: what's your 2 letter country code? [20:19] wisnut - check output of lsusb, if the ipod listed? [20:20] mdm: whats a sar and where do i get one? [20:20] ^is [20:20] rich____ - i have a tablet pc but the touch screen part doesnt work with the pen. is there a driver i need? i googled and couldnt find much [20:20] resnet - whats the model number / info? [20:20] hblount: to use a sound card in linux requires setting up a config for it. Luckly alsa already does this for most of teh cards. But if you have a card with multiple dspsm differnt outputs, etc you may have to make alsa use these devices as well. Its all done with a alsa,conf file [20:20] I have checked my ALSA configuration and I apprently have no modules loaded. How do I load ALSA modules? Thanks for whatever help. [20:20] cankoy, US [20:20] yowshi: look up atsar [20:21] rich____: yes, it's listed under lsusb: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05ac:1262 Apple, Inc. [20:21] yowshi: it means something like accessing a disk or a network adapter is using the CPU. The CPU is being used by the kernel, not a program running. [20:21] how to get wireless automagically connect without having to type a password (it asks for keyring or something when the computer boots) [20:21] wisnut - you can manually mount the device using the mount command [20:21] wisnut - first create a directory to mount it in [20:21] wussies [20:21] wisnut mkdir /media/ipod [20:21] usp pardon [20:21] yowshi: htop ... F2 > Display options > Split system time .... [20:21] rich___ - gateway e155c [20:21] sorry wrong channel [20:22] mdm: ok, but how do i see what others have setup for it? and im pretty ignorant about how to use linux command line stuff [20:23] help me setup cpu freq scaling, running ubuntu 8.10 and a intel core2duo cpu [20:23] ircnickiuse: http://paste.ubuntu.com/193684/ [20:23] rich____: getting there. . . . . [20:23] cankoy, beautiful, thanks [20:23] hblount: look arrund google for that deivce and its use in linux, try looking at aplay -l and see if its listed, if it is see if its setup, if it is simply record from its /dev/audio or /dev/dsp [20:23] anyone know how to cause xscreensaver to span multiple monitors on a dual-head twinview setup, instead of running separate processes on each head? [20:23] jrib: I didnt have any luck using apt - after removing it and testing I had the module for 2.6 but not 2.5. I ended up building from source. Thanks for helping me, and I'll let you know if I ever figure out what was going on [20:24] wisnet - one sec ill make sure the instructions work [20:24] VSpike: i assume you mean detailed CPU time [20:24] and hblount given that you have more then one sound card you will probbly have more then one /dev/dsp and in which case it will be listed as /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2 etc [20:24] yowshi: yes it gives a bit more detail [20:24] wisnet - sudo mkdir /media/ipod [20:25] wisnet - lsusb [20:25] wisnet - make a note of the bus and device numbers for the ipod [20:25] rich____: yes, yes, got it so far. . . . [20:25] mdm: sar is of no real use to me since i cant figure out how to use it [20:25] wisnet - sudo mount /proc/bus/usb/bus/device /media/ipod [20:26] wisnet - replace bus and device with the numbers from lsusb [20:26] Hi, is it possible to record the audio that's coming out of my speakers? [20:26] wisnet - i.e sudo mount /proc/bus/usb/001/003 /media/ipod [20:26] katoda: with a microphone? [20:27] katoda: sure.. use audacity and change the input on it to the one that matches your sound card. [20:27] Joker_-_: huge quality loss? [20:27] katoda: yup. otherwise you need a good soundblaster card and put your "record" at "what you ear" [20:28] katoda: check what scunizi said, never tryed that tho [20:28] Joker_-_: installing audacity [20:28] What part of Ubuntu forces the userspace cpufreq governor? [20:28] resnet - there are vouches for this solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=870640 [20:28] Compiz advanced tools is taking forever to download...is this normal? [20:28] yowshi: its not too difficult to learn but if you really want to know what that cpu is doing you need something like sar to report it. And you need to understand how a cpu accesses its devices. Things like top will give a brief look into what is going on currently (ignore the load averages up top there just about useless). And you need to know more about that cpu and what its spending its time doing. It is totally posible to make a cpu 100% busy and not have [20:28] it running any program at all [20:28] mdm: thx for trying to help [20:28] rich____: mount: special device /proc/bus/usb/002/002 does not exist [20:28] mdm: VSpike well i cant figure out what is cauing the load but it is interfering with my ability to use dosbox [20:29] wisnut - can you paste the line from lsusb ? [20:29] hblount: type aplay -l and paste that for me please [20:29] rich____: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05ac:1262 Apple, Inc. === alex_ is now known as aleX-xx [20:29] server is up :) [20:29] hello [20:30] mdm: well then it is useless to me anyway since i have no clue about my cpu and how it spoends it time nor do i know how to find out how it uses it's time or how it accesses it's devices [20:30] hi guys i have problem with setting up wireless on my notebook [20:30] hello all i am dealing with ati video cards. is there anyone willing to suffer through this with me? [20:30] Just tell us the problem [20:30] 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [20:30] if someone knows the answer they will respond [20:30] ifconfig -a doesn't show anything [20:30] why does the freq scaling applet only have "preformace" before i had like 1GHz, 1,33GHz, 1,55GHz, 2GHz and the On-demand, power-save and preformance. [20:30] yowshi: then you will spend allot of time chasing ghosts and trying to figure out the problem. [20:30] bostko_, did you enable the hardware driver ? [20:31] wisnut - is the device listed in cmdline: df [20:31] mdm: card 1: default [C-Media USB Audio Device ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] [20:31] Subdevices: 1/1 [20:31] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [20:31] wanting to run jaunty starting totally from pxe get vmlinuz, but not initrd, any one know where it is?

I would like to check to see what driver is controlling the card and make the second one work [20:31] mdm: that wasnt entirely useful [20:31] mdm: i already know my problems i need to know where to find the resources to help me fix them [20:32] rich____: no, it just looks like normal stuff there. . .no "apple" or sda2, etc. . . . [20:32] yowshi: you are asking what makes my cpu so busy. It was not readaily apparent from a list of running processes. So your CPU is doing something. Learning that somethign is a matter of knowing performance tuning and how your system operates. For all I know it could be servicing memory [20:32] I installed gparted. Where is is saved to? [20:32] is it possible to be turned off from the power buttons on the front panel [20:32] bostko_, didnt it work without that driver enabled? [20:33] no it doesn't [20:33] Hello! I need help a bit.

[20:42] how can I overwrite a symbolic link with a new one? I tried "ln -nsf newsrc linkname" but it doesn't seem to be working [20:42] naoko: I understood that, only the idea was not of "to weak" hardware but of faulty hardware. So I wanted to know how it is, when you are running from the live CD [20:42] wisnut so sudo mount /dev/sdb/x /media/ipod [20:42] Travis-42: unlink [20:42] rich____: worked! [20:42] ok [20:42] Daniel_online: Is there no way to overwrite it with ln? [20:42] wisnut - my appologies for the run arround [20:42] rich____: thanks a million - have a great day! [20:43] wisnut - no worries, you too [20:43] GParted is unable to read my Windows Partition. How do I fix this? [20:43] Travis-42: Just unlink the working one first then create the new one [20:43] rich____: no, it's my noobieness. . . .still trying to grasp fundamentals, you helped a ton, thanks. [20:43] well im just wondering cuz i run windows fin and i can run that mac thing they made for amd comps fine but not linux [20:43] Dethroned: was Windows shut down properly? if not Ubuntu can't just read it [20:43] mdm: i just noticed something. when i look at alsa mixer for the usb device, it has playback level and recording level as well as mute. when i unmute the recording one and close it and reopen it, its muted again [20:43] any one know how to check what video driver is currently in use?

Can I do this within the fstab, or do I have to modify sshfs somehow? [20:44] Daniel_online: you need to make emerald your window decorator; easiest way is install fusion-icon, run that. An icon will appear in your notification area; right click and select emerald as window decorator. [20:44] ok thanks Daniel_online [20:44] I imported a few themes into emerald theme manager but how the he.. do I activate them (running 9.04) how ppl how :D [20:44] Guys, please, what part of Ubuntu decides to slowdown my CPU? [20:44] ford - i think you can still look at xorg.conf [20:44] !who | naoko [20:44] naoko: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:44] VCoolio: thanks :D [20:44] !top | yacc [20:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about top [20:44] hblount: do you have snd_usb_audio in your modules. I belive you do if it shows up in alsa [20:44] yac, check your task manager [20:44] yacc: You can run top in your terminal and it will show you a list of programs with CPU % [20:44] hblount: other then that it should simply be unmuting that input and recording from it [20:44] just says configured device... [20:45] thanks tho.. thats what i thot but... [20:45] yacc, -> system -> administration -> System Monitor, or like Joeseph said top [20:45] mdm: how do i know if i have snd_usb_audio in my modules? [20:45] ford no driver listed?

I'd like to replicate the NTFS "inherit permissions from parent folder" if possible. [20:58] naoko: Are you fans all spinning up?? Particularly the CPU fan? [20:58] yacc, i do have a HP laptop too and it gets very hot. i had to download a bios update to lower the heat but still its pretty hot. [20:58] lewion - the cmd awk '{print $1}' prints the first 'column of output from the previous command [20:58] mdm: its listed here. dont know if that means theres a definition for it [20:59] lewion - uniq only counts unique results [20:59] GParted won't let me resize my windows partition [20:59] how can i get youtube working on my xubuntu? [20:59] Spike1506, where did you find the BIOS update? [20:59] yacc, at the hp website? [20:59] And can I even apply it without the other OS? [20:59] Dethroned - dont try to manipulate ntfs partitions from linux [20:59] layer: Are these folders created on the fly? Supposed i gave you a command that changed the permissions of all the folders at once. Would that work? [20:59] Dethroned: Run disk defrag in windows first [20:59] Dethroned, ntfs is proprietry technology [21:00] Dethroned, use microsoft tools for that job [21:00] edbian,no it all seems fine nothing changes fans the same speed its just a lod nosie then frez when move mouse [21:00] layer: I am not sure about ldap but I know in linux when you create a folder it is owned by you and the group owner is your group (group with your username) [21:00] rich___: then how do I resize the hd? [21:00] Dethroned: boot into windows, and make sure it is shut down correctly [21:00] rich____, users only give me lewion [21:00] rich____, while who gives me both [21:00] kazagistar: I just did that [21:00] yacc, what is your laptop type? [21:00] rich____, thanks man ;) [21:00] how do I disable X from loading?

[21:01] lewion - slightly confused - are you saying your problem is fixed? [21:01] Dethroned: Install the ntfsprogs package to resize ntfs partitions with gparted. [21:01] naoko: What about dmesg? So the system won't freeze until it has been both 5-10 minutes AND the mouse has been moved? [21:01] Hey guys, I have an ASUS Eee top that I just got and was trying to put ubuntu on it and ran into some resolution issues and the touchscreen doesnt work, I found a fix online however I am way too much of a noob to know how to do what its asking me to do, here is the google translated page for the instructions http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://www.eeepc.it/guida-installare-ubuntu-su-asus-eee-top-1602/&ei=XgkoSty [21:01] edbian: sort of.... the parent folder is changeable only by members of the Layer group (LDAP). when a user creates a file or folder, it uses the Umask, but the group listed is "Domain Users". I can change it manually, but I'd really like the directory tree to maintain the group all the way through [21:01] hblount: do you have audacity installed?

I mean the icon that Evolution displays while its running. [21:03] edbian: thanks. i don't really think it's an LDAP issues...more like linux/UNIX was designed with simple permissions and a 1:1 user to group arrangement. I like NTFS permissions alot better [21:03] yacc, nope [21:03] super_hoops: What version of xubuntu are you running? [21:03] scarface: Simply go to Applications -> Internet -> Evolution and drag that launcher from the menu to the panel (or desktop) [21:03] edbian,no i formated it off cuz i had the problem i can run windows fine and that mac os they mad for amd but when it comes to linux [21:03] Pici: All I can find is the NTFS configuration tool [21:03] i am in a text editing program on the commend-line, what do i press to change the text?

[21:04] how do i find that out rico? [21:04] Spike1506, OTOH, there are WinXP live cds when I remember right. [21:04] layer: Do some research on google about ldap / user permissions on linux.

Right now, having a blank envelope which changes to an envelope with a star just doesn't stand out to me very well. I'd rather have no icon at all, and then display an envelope when a message arrives.

[21:22] I edited it to my desired settings [21:22] Ricochet:case-sensitive not x but X [21:22] but where exactly should I place it [21:23] DasEi: Ohhh [21:23] anybody know what wvdial is? [21:23] i put it in my home dir [21:23] and it isnt being seen [21:23] Dragon-Reborn: Its a modem dialer [21:23] T0aster, in your home dir as: .rtorrent.rc [21:23] Ricochet: inserted and saved ? [21:23] the . makes it hidden [21:23] yep [21:23] how do I uses it?

[21:23] oh [21:23] so hide it [21:23] it is hidden yh [21:23] DasEi: Yes, saved and exited [21:23] press ctrl+h in nautilus and you can see the hidden files [21:24] Dragon-Reborn: Via terminal [21:24] yh [21:24] T0aster, yes [21:24] I know all that [21:24] lemme pm you plz? [21:24] do I need it to get my 3g usb dongle working? [21:24] T0aster, then what is the problem? :) [21:24] kk I'm defragging Windows. Will this allow me to resize the Windows partition with gparted? [21:24] Ricochet: your using 32 bit ? [21:24] can I pm? [21:24] Dethroned: which version of Windows? [21:24] greg, are you using ext4 at any filesystem? [21:24] DasEi: I have no idea, im sorry.. im a bit of a noob [21:24] sebsebseb: Vista 64bit [21:24] ext3 texasjack [21:24] !pm | T0aster [21:24] T0aster: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:24] Dethroned, if you're lucky enough [21:25] Dethroned: really you need to let Vista resize itself [21:25] sebsebseb: How the heck do I do that? [21:25] Dethroned: ,because it has a later version of NTFS than XP, and so dataloss might happen if gparted does it [21:25] greg, hummm... I kinda feels the same... But I'm using ext4. Just curious. [21:25] Ricochet: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [21:25] Dethroned: right click computer in the menu, and go to disk management or something [21:25] lsusb does not show my usb modem, what now? [21:25] sebsebseb: i just got this computer today. I barely have anything on Vista and i have made my recovery disks [21:26] Dethroned: I see [21:26] Ricochet: uname -a | pastebinit ,give resulting url here [21:26] Dethroned: well still best to let Vista resize it [21:26] dethroned: then now is time to abandon Vista altogether, and stick with ubunutu :) [21:26] Dethroned, there are good sites with the exact instructions on resizing Vista partitions [21:26] Welcome MacGyverNL! You have achieved a new peak of 1556 users for #Ubuntu! [21:26] Dethroned: well or do what layer said [21:26] Dragon-Reborn: What version of ubuntu are you using? [21:26] layer - a few of my friends are defaulting to windows 7 and ubuntu [21:26] T0aster, No PM please. [21:26] i updated the x drivers (using eeebox b202) - not sure if that's maybe done something? can't remember it ever clicking as much as this [21:26] sebsebseb: did they add resizing in vista? [21:26] sebsebseb: I want to play some games and not all of them are supported by WINE [21:26] layer - seems to be the trend [21:26] edbian. nop i got to the termanal and it froz i tryed it 2 time exept this time there was no noise but the fast speed up then froz and fans went back to normal [21:26] kazagistar: yes it can resize itself, when it's running [21:27] T0aster, tell those stuff in the main channel ty === ilona is now known as Guest31319 [21:27] using the machine as a mythtvfrontend - no data is even being read from the disk all over the network. even clicks when idle [21:27] Dethroned: games the usual story, are they all 3D? === Guest31319 is now known as Ilona__ [21:27] Dethroned, http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm [21:27] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f113abbc7 [21:27] Dethroned: also Linux has some pretty good native games, you just got to know about them :d [21:27] dethroned: i understand. but just you wait. the longer you live in the OSS world, the more you'll hate Microsoft [21:27] Ricochet: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list ,url ...

It's important to do Windows first. If you vista isn't installed the way you want it partitioned, blow it away and redo it first [21:30] lewion - if you pm me your email address i will email a bash script i wrote to analyse server log files [21:30] mrwes: Will this work if I have installed Linux already and then I resize windows?

[21:32] Dethroned: resizer above. then that newly unalloacted space can be used for Ubuntu [21:32] Dethroned, then reclaim the space in Ubuntu with gparted [21:32] kk kk [21:32] barbarella - hard drive keeps on clicking. even when idle - no data being written/read. === MadMax is now known as Guest59041 [21:33] I agree with sebsebseb [21:33] greg:old drive?

[21:34] what do i need to activate them? [21:34] is 80 gigs enough for ubuntu? [21:34] quit [21:34] Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:69: Could not find '='. [21:34] oops [21:34] Dethroned: more than enough [21:34] Dethroned, more then enough [21:34] edmont: What Wifi card do you have? [21:34] kk...then what is enough exactly? [21:34] Dethroned: what you should do is do like 12GB or so / swap space I guess, and a big seperate home [21:34] no it's deffo not a bad hard drive - i installed fedora on it previously and was fine. only when i put jaunty on it and upgraded the x intel drivers did it start with this clicking malarkey [21:34] T0aster, it means you have a error on line 69 [21:34] DasEi: it says that a leter version is already installed [21:34] sebsebseb: What do you mean by seperate home? [21:34] Cloudef: i use a privative driver, broadcom [21:35] T0aster, put a # on line 69 [21:35] so I need to add a = [21:35] Dethroned: and when you manually install you can choose the optional Ext4 filesystem which is faster than the default Ext3, also better with bigger files [21:35] oh [21:35] !home | Dethroned [21:35] Dethroned: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [21:35] a # as first character on that line [21:35] sebsebseb: I've already installed Ubuntu [21:35] !swap | Dethroned [21:35] Dethroned: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough.

[21:36] ewerytime i edit a text and try to save with ctrl+S it freezez, but the underscore still flashes, is there something i can do to get further or is the os not working as i should be? [21:36] gr8 [21:36] thx alot guys [21:36] Dethroned: hummm you made it sound like before, that you were going to resize Vista, for space for Ubuntu [21:36] DasEi: I did the other command you told me to do [21:36] edmont: It seems to be used with old version of ubuntu tho. [21:36] greg:is it a writting click, or more if it is stuck [21:36] just sounds like data being written / read [21:36] sebsebseb: That's what I'm trying to do. I installed Ubuntu using the first option which basically installed it with the recommended size partition for installation [21:36] rtorrent is very fast [21:37] Cloudef: i had it working before [21:37] Ricochet: good sign, gimme a second for your sources.list [21:37] sebsebseb: But I want more space than that [21:37] Anyone here with some hints about nvidia extra options in xorg.conf? (The #nvidia channel is dead...) [21:37] Dethroned: resize Vista then [21:37] the thing is that i dont have the option to activate wireless networking [21:37] DasEi: Thanks for your help, i appreciate it. [21:37] hi.. where do i get a binary package for generic kernel (2.6.30) for jaunty? [21:37] sebsebseb: That's what I'm doing...lol [21:37] Squidy: a ppa [21:37] Toaster: good documentation on this site: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ [21:37] ty [21:37] np [21:37] barbarella - i have smb shares mounted in fstab? would that be anything to do with it? [21:37] edmont: It does not regonise your Wifi anymore? [21:38] Have the repos gone down specifically the universe/mulitverse? [21:38] sebastian_: can you give me a link for there? [21:38] Toaster: take a look at the rtorrent.rc example [21:38] sebastian_: sry [21:38] Squidy: no, but you can Google for one, also you have to do something before you can even use a ppa [21:38] !ppa > Squidy [21:38] Squidy, please see my private message [21:38] I need help. It appears I don't have inetd setup on my ubuntu machine. I'm running Jaunty and was wondering how I could fully implement TCP/IP protocols? (For use with FTP) [21:38] Ricochet: (terminal) gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [21:38] sebsebseb: I'll just shrink Vista and hope everything works out [21:38] Squidy, try 'kernelcheck'... Google for it. When installed it will make the brand new 2.6.30 to you, _almost_ alone. If you don't wanna configurate it, so, it'll make it the job alone. [21:38] Squidy: a ppa should be on luanchpad or something, Google should bring it up [21:38] greg:shouldn't be, but it is reading/writing something === dony is now known as mencucu [21:39] Ricochet: easiest delete whole content and insert : http://paste.ubuntu.com/193718/ [21:39] barbarella - yeah exactly. where would i find out?! [21:39] If anyone is interested in joining anyu private trackers plz check out Neonscene.net [21:39] ok guys.. thanks.. let me see here [21:39] texasjack: that sounds like some unoffical program? [21:39] DasEi, shouldn't mix gksu with a terminal -- non GUI, gksu is better used with ALT + F2 [21:39] greg:can you see with top what it is doing? [21:39] Cloudef: it seems like that [21:39] T0aster, no spam please. [21:39] Squidy: I don't know about this kernelcheck thing, but ppa's are offical [21:39] !spam | T0aster [21:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about spam [21:39] Cloudef: it works in windows [21:39] barbarella: how you mean? [21:40] edmont: I see, so its not broken. Did it work before in ubuntu? [21:40] Toaster: d00d? what does a tracker have to do with Ubuntu? [21:40] Not meant as spam sorry [21:40] sebsebseb, not unofficial. It just isn't in the repositories. But works perfectly. It was make for Ubuntu. [21:40] mrwes : gksudo for graphical commands ?! [21:40] greg:top is a task manager [21:40] Cloudef: yep, with the same config, but i think it doesnt work after i disabled it with the laptop button [21:40] texasjack: yeah exacty if it's made for Ubuntu, but not in the repo and not a ppa, then unoffical [21:40] DasEi: done [21:40] well I just got helped [21:40] barbarella: just typed top into terminal - learn somehing new everyday! u want to see my output? [21:41] Ricochet: save and close [21:41] edmont: Oh, usually holding the laptop wifi button or removing battery and putting back helps [21:41] texasjack: even ppa's some would say are unoffical to confuse things [21:41] DasEi: Done. [21:41] i'm having an issue with kernel 2.6.28 of jaunty... ( unexpected IRQ trap at vector 9b ).. i'm going to try installing another kernel version here... [21:41] texasjack: ,but ppa is a proper thing for getting later programs [21:41] edmont: If you reset battery i suggest shutdowning first :-) [21:41] sebsebseb, ok, then; but it works!!! And by the way, what is "ppa's"? [21:41] so if anybody is having trouble getting into the high level trackers I would help them [21:41] Cloudef: ok, i'll try [21:41] Ricochet: next command will log you off, so be beware and close any apps that might loose data [21:41] :) [21:41] http://pastebin.com/m78046467 is the output [21:41] edmont: Tell me how it goes [21:41] !ppa | texasjack [21:41] texasjack: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad.

[21:42] Ricochet: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [21:42] sebsebseb, thanks! [21:42] texasjack: np [21:42] not that i can see [21:42] ok i've got the videos playing on youtube (woooopiiiii) but there's no sound :( [21:43] turn it up [21:43] ha ha it's on full. [21:43] super_hoops: alsamixer installed ? [21:43] greg: if you umount the smb mounting points, does it still click after? [21:43] what programs do folks use to run other linux systems on top of ubuntu? [21:43] DasEi: Ok its restarting right now (im on my mac) [21:43] will go try 2 secs [21:44] I dont understand why people have trouble with flash. Ive installed it on several machines and always plays nice. [21:44] zenlunatic: vmware or virtualbox [21:44] zenlunatic, there's something about it in the kernel... Dunno remember the name... [21:44] deany: It's usually GPU related problem [21:44] !virtual | zenlunatic [21:44] DasEi: Virtualbox [21:44] zenlunatic: 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 [21:44] sound wise i mean.. [21:45] texasjack: xen? [21:45] zenlunatic, maybe 'kvm'? Yeah, I think so.... [21:45] barbarella - still clicking [21:45] Ricochet: done ? [21:45] zenlunatic: Virtualbox is pretty much the best one :) [21:45] DasEi, thanks [21:45] spot on :D alsamixer was muted for some reason. job done. peace out :D [21:45] greg: at your top output: a load average of 1.5 is pretty high for an idle system (I got 0.07 at the moment) [21:45] deany: Oh i see.. Sometimes pulseaudio jerks for somepeople' [21:45] DasEi: Is it doing something? because its just sitting at a blinking line? [21:45] Virtualbox is much better than vmware these days [21:45] ahh... just moved to 64-bit ubuntu... sweet - now i dont have to feel inferior to snow-leopard [21:45] greg:did you reboot [21:45] anyone know how to get extensions or userscripts working in chrome? [21:45] deany: yep except for maybe the paid for versions [21:45] i'm acessing this over a nx session - not got a keyboard hoked [21:45] iceroot, I think is kvm, don't? But you have to have a cpu with virtualization instructions... I don't know EXACTLY... =| [21:45] Ricochet: bad sign, isn't coming up ? is it a command line ? [21:46] it's only a wee intel atom processor [21:46] is there a way to set twinvieuw with 3 screens? [21:46] barbarella - do you want me to reboot after umounting? [21:46] i basically followed the directions given on adsweep.org, but it doesn't seem to work... [21:46] DasEi: No its just sitting there.. i can type and press enter but nothing happens [21:46] sebsebseb, I tried workstation. It still lacks support for newer versions of ubuntu until like a year later. [21:46] greg: ah, therfore the nx... :-) [21:46] texasjack: hm, i though xen was build in the kernel, but i am only using VirtualBox (non-free) [21:46] deany: really? [21:46] sebsebseb, even then, it aint all that grand [21:46] deany: ah ok [21:46] join #ubuntu.fr [21:46] greg:it would be nice if you could run in single mode [21:47] vmware have always been way behind supporting any newer kernel [21:47] #ubuntu.fr [21:47] is there a way to set twinvieuw with 3 screens? [21:47] deany: oh [21:47] sebsebseb, thats why I switched. I was sick of waiting for vmware tools to catch up [21:47] betinho: /j #ubuntu-fr [21:47] clicks regardless - system is doing something [21:47] iceroot, yeah, xen is in the kernel. But it have three more options, that I remember... [21:47] deany: Virtualbox also has an added advantage of being able to use VMware VMDK files without a stupid .vmx file [21:47] i'll go reboot though, commented out the smbfs options in fstab 2 secs [21:47] Thks [21:47] Ricochet: try Ctrl&Alt&F1 [21:48] greg:ok [21:48] betinho: rien :) [21:48] iceroot, 2 days without sleep, only in anphetamines.... My memory is almost dumping... [21:48] DasEi: it says Desktop Login [21:48] vmware dont acknowledge anything at all regarding vmware tools compiling and working in newer linux kernels. They totally ignore it on the forum [21:48] Ricochet: login then [21:48] !ot > deany [21:48] deany, please see my private message [21:48] ok. [21:48] sebsebseb, the only problem with Vbox is that it doesnt save ALL its files (including config files) inside a single directory - that was very convenient with Vmware [21:49] DasEi: now its at a terminal prompt [21:49] texasjack: then you should think about sleeping :) [21:49] SandGorgon: the VM's and that, will go in the hidden .virtualbox folder in Home [21:49] SandGorgon, big deal [21:49] the vm`s go onto my usb hd, as do the logs and configs [21:49] SandGorgon: as for where the program puts files, dosan't really matter, since can just remove it and instal it again and things [21:50] Ricochet: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.firsttry [21:50] deany, from a work perspective where u have to share VM's for some testing - Vmware is mighty convenient and Vbox is not [21:50] iceroot, if you see my state... Sleeping is the last thing that I'll do... It's about 5:30 p.m. here...

Do I need help forwarding ports, or is it vmware config?

[22:19] Ricochet: k, that'll become little tricky now, maybe, as we have to check where the graphics config hangs (located in Xorg.conf) [22:19] ok [22:19] !liveusb [22:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb [22:20] anyone know the name of the music name editing program that edits a group a songs and can change their names by name, number, album etc..?????

To remote login over the internet you should use SSH (which is a little more sophisticated but still pretty easy) and do something called x-forwarding [22:23] hello [22:24] im running ubuntu 9.04 and need to edit my xorg.conf but when i open the file it;s empty. which file should i edit? [22:24] glandon: SSH stands for secure Shell [22:24] Does anyone know how to have two videos put into one video like half and half, 1st vid | second vid?

Is this correct? As far as I know you should VNC without using the terminal at all. [22:28] Divinity: if it's a deb, just double-click it [22:28] !list [22:28] This is not a file sharing channel (or network).

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [22:28] I do not think 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a' is the command I am looking for DasEi, It did not take this long on one of my other ubuntu computers, and it surely didnt ask so many yes/no questions. [22:29] nullm0dem, strange... i have this issue after installing from the alternate cd... i just get a black screen tho so i am sure your issue is different.... what you can do is restart, in grub choose recovery, then choose fix X and it will build a generic one. [22:29] DasEi: I am back to a command prompt [22:29] DasEi: The screen went black and i am not sitting at a command prompt [22:29] edbian ok that might work, when i was originally reading up on the posts it was saying that i would always have to start it through terminal let me try this reall quick [22:29] nullm0dem, also cd to the directory and see if there are any re-names like backups you can revert to [22:29] tj83, would u know what it's called in the documentation? [22:29] Divinity: isnt a deb available from your rpm's provider? [22:29] DasEi: I am Now sitting at a command prompt.. i didnt mean to say "Not" [22:29] Divinity: if not,, use... [22:29] Trentor_: hmm, in harder cases of an update crash this is common, hard for me to just guess [22:29] !alien | Divinity [22:29] Divinity: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [22:29] glandon: You can start it in the terminal but you do not have to. I am not sure though that your tutorial was talking about the same software we're using here. [22:30] hi [22:30] tj83: yes! i have a latitude XT so the alternate cd is my only choice.

[22:32] edbian: walkthrough just said to type vncviewer into terminal to get it started, ok and updated tried using remote desktop veiwer so far no luck [22:32] Ricochet: sudo apt-get installwindows :P [22:32] Drknezz,http://stason.org/TULARC/os/linux.virus.html [22:32] ok I'm there [22:33] drknezz/divinity: also it'll add w32codecs and firefox flash plugin [22:33] mmmm restricted goodness [22:33] tj83: i know what i need to edit just cant find it anywhere :P [22:33] glandon: Did you try the graphical one in Apps -> Internet ?? [22:33] nice thanks [22:33] Ricochet: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [22:33] it cant infect my /home as its full of jpgs and txt files [22:33] Drknezz, http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2008/11/26/linux-virus-a-false-sense-of-security/ [22:33] both the windows and ubuntu imagewriter keep leaving me with a blank thumb drive when trying to make a bootable unr stick [22:33] I like ubuntu thinking of reformatting and getting rid of windows [22:33] Cry__Baby: Bliss is all the way down the garbage can, it's then one and only linux virus, and it disinfects itself [22:33] tj83, how do i export the project? sorry i've never edited before xD [22:34] Drknezz, you are ignorant when you said "linux has no viruses", because that is not true at all! [22:34] Divinity: I did it! [22:34] The only viruses linux has are proof of concept [22:34] Drknezz, so now you admit Linux has had a virus? [22:34] DasEi, no, just wondering what it is, trying to make a shortcut to the command for my friend who is not tech savvy [22:34] DasEi: It says there is no such file for the backup one [22:34] Cry__Baby, none in the wild [22:34] Cry__Baby: You know what "practical approach" is, right? [22:34] edbian is ext4 stable, recommended over ext3? [22:34] Drknezz, read this: http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2008/11/26/linux-virus-a-false-sense-of-security/ [22:34] edbian: got that up now, at first i was using the ip addy, now just did a search found the name of the computer im trying to access and trying it that way so far not seeing it connect though [22:35] Hilikus: I have no opinion on the matter but I hear mostly people recommending ext3 for reliablility over ext4 [22:35] Drknezz, The number of malicious programs specifically written for GNU/Linux has been on the increase in recent years and in the year of 2005 alone has more than doubled: from 422 to 863. [22:35] Ricochet: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.working /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:35] glandon: But it found the computer? [22:35] Ricochet: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [22:35] Cry__Baby: you're not stupid enough to type: sudo ./virus right? [22:35] Drknezz, there are more than 1000 malicious programs specifically written for GNU/Linux, and you claim there is NONE? LOL [22:35] it doesn't take ./exec [22:35] vulnerabilities are everywhere [22:35] wow, I thought the OPs were better than this [22:36] * Drknezz ignores the flameboy [22:36] Drknezz, notice how you get abusive now, because you were proven to be a liar and ignorant lol [22:36] Cry__Baby, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [22:36] Cry__Baby, since we get our programs from the repos, no they are not a threat [22:36] Cry__Baby: that was over 10 years ago and linux is still the most secure os [22:36] DasEi: Ok the login screen is back [22:36] Cry__Baby, since we get our programs from the repos, no they are not a threat <--- thats why I only use repos, yes [22:36] Though there ARE viruses, nearly no virus can succeed on a large scale [22:36] jimmyjh: that's just stupid [22:36] both the windows and ubuntu imagewriter keep leaving me with an empty thumb drive when trying to make a bootable unr stick, even though the write process seems to complete successfully [22:36] why would you say linux is -the most secure os- [22:36] are there any resources for reading up on casper? i'd like to know more about how it works, how to compile it in to initrd, etc.. [22:36] Ricochet: terminal .. [22:36] Cry__Baby, we aint all windows users looking for cracks and hacks to programs [22:36] Thanks to updates [22:36] jimmyjh: well one of them depending on distro and so on, but OpenBSD is apparnatly the most secure [22:36] why not openbsd, with even smaller userbase and less people attempting to break in? [22:36] DasEi: done. [22:37] DasEi, can you, _please_ take a look here, http://pastebin.com/f3ef0d872 at the lines#: 37-39, 49 (at the end), and 216-241 about my mouse? Now I have some doubts... The scroll is with a strange behaviour, it's 'cause those lines? My xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f8a65846 [22:37] Though there ARE viruses <-- You just contradicted yourself.. before you said there are NO virus, now you admit there are :) Case closed. [22:37] ok I think it's done now in terminal I am back at david@ubuntu:~$ that mean's it is done right? [22:37] edbian when i click on find it says eglandon's remote desktop on (computer name), eglandon being my account on the computer, but when i tell it ok it just sits there im going to try it from my desktop to my laptop and see how long it will take it to access it [22:37] linux traditionally is NOT the most secure due to its fast development pace and eagerness to grab up new technology and package new tools [22:37] tj83, how do i export the project? sorry i've never edited before :o [22:37] thank you for that.. [22:37] please take chat about viruses to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [22:38] 9.04, enable PAE, get [22:38] texasjack: paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:38] anyone in here using remastersys.. if so, should you disable compiz/effects and uninstall proprietary vid drivers before making the remaster [22:38] glandon: It might take a while especially if you are on wireless. Give it some time. If there are no errors assume it is working. Unfortunately I have to go now. Sorry I couldn't help more! [22:38] DasEi: ready. [22:38] or just set up everything you want, then just use remastersys as is [22:38] DasEi, my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f8a65846 [22:38] Hello, what would cause this error message: Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault Aborting. [22:38] Cry__Baby: you can worry but it isnt happening , and hasnt, its possible to make a virus for any os but linux is evolving and 10 years ago the kernel today is very far from it 10 years ago [22:38] jimmyjh, stop, here isn't here any more [22:38] hrm.. my mouse behaves like I'm beeing hacked [22:38] jimmyjh, he/she is gone [22:39] my favorite thing is how ubuntu configuredmy wireless acess I didnt have to do anything [22:39] i had to type in my wep key [22:39] it was reaaaaaaaaaally easy === Jampiter_ is now known as Jampiter [22:39] is there a way I can check if there might someone control my mouse? [22:39] I had to type my passphrase but that's it [22:39] Divinity: that's great considering that wireless dosn't work just like that for everyone in Ubuntu at this time [22:40] cabrey: ok, hey again you helped me solve a problem not long ago [22:40] All: I am very new to Linux, and our company is moving over to Open source because of obvious financial implications and our industry resolves around Linux (actually PHP, were a web development company) [22:40] all: we were advised to use debian for our server and ubuntu for our desktop machines because it is the most user friendly version for windows users [22:40] all: keeping this in mind and knowing we're a web developmetn company, is there any other solution you would rather recommend? [22:40] Ricochet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/193786/ [22:40] kel the jave plugin I need was for pogo and now I can play [22:40] nVEe: well Ubuntu can be used as a server as well, but Debian and such are more likely to be used [22:40] kewl* [22:41] jimmyjh, i did? jeez there really are too many people in here... most irc channels are slow and quiet [22:41] hiro, i have a problem with the clock, i changed a line in menu.lst to set clocksource to hpet, but when i restart it continues to charge the tsc which is unstable [22:41] i'm a fan of FreeBSD, which i feel is userfriendly enough if you know how to use a commandline, but it doesn't support as wide a variety of hardware as linux [22:41] cabrey: yea for over 1k ppl not many really active [22:41] ubuntu though obviously blows it away as far as easy-to-figure-out gui tools without needing to configure stuff with vi or install stuff via commandline [22:41] nVEe: user friendly is one of those words, what does user friendly really mean. Is Windows user friendly? not quite, it's just what people know. saying that there are quite a few other distros that would fit in to your definition of user friendly, but Ubuntu is a good first distro for many people. [22:41] cabrey: yea you did help me yesterday i believe lol [22:41] DasEi, I have to delete the keyboard and mouse sections? [22:42] help - I had some problems running a game in wine, so I tried uninstalling the game, uninstalling wine [22:42] ok if i was to buy a new laptop to install ubuntu should i get intell or amd what better with ubuntu [22:42] oriol@oriol-escriptori:~$ dmesg | grep -i clocksource [22:42] [ 82.000024] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -291051455 ns) [22:42] sebsebseb: exactly! like i feel 2 commandlines is more userfriendly than a dozen and a half points and clicks through a half a dozen windows [22:42] then I deleted the game from the gnome menu [22:42] DasEi: Is that for my xorg.conf? [22:42] naoko: the processor is ultimately up to you [22:42] wallshot: indeed, when know how to use [22:42] texasjack: I think so, gimme few minutes [22:42] wallshot: a lot of time will be saved on commandline [22:42] now even after reinstalling wine, it doesn't put anything on the menu :( [22:42] DasEi, sorry... =S [22:42] DasEi: do i do the gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf thing?

Activate it there... [22:45] Ricochet: delte whole content and insertthe paste [22:45] 8gb on 32bit system - can I compile in PAE support? [22:45] ii've allready give it permission to write but it wont work [22:45] i dont know why [22:45] can someone help me pls? [22:45] it's not on that list (prefs->Main menu) [22:46] ++ why isn't it already compiled in? (since it is 2009) [22:46] it's not there [22:46] soulfreshner, hummm... [22:46] texasjack: do you use a 5 button mouse ? [22:46] soulfreshner, try the command line... =) [22:46] DasEi: Should it end in EndSectio? or EndSection? because right now there is no "n" [22:46] soulfreshner: how did you reinstall it? [22:46] DasEi, 3 buttons. 4+5 are for scroll wheel. [22:47] apt-get remove to remove it [22:47] Ricochet: add the n [22:47] then i deleted from the menu using prefs->main menu [22:47] my clock keeps cycling through the same 5 seconds over and over again [22:47] and many apps are unreliable or won't start at all [22:47] then deleted ~/.wine [22:47] then apt-get install wine [22:47] texasjack: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup [22:48] DasEi, it's already backed up.... =) [22:48] DasEi: Saved and exited [22:48] thank's for the help [22:49] soulfreshner, you deleted it from "Preferences -> Main Menu"? [22:49] Ricochet: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [22:49] with PAE I can see 8gb of ram right? (not just 4) on a 32 bit system [22:49] yes, texasjack [22:49] wallshot: freebsd is good too, when i meant linux i should had said most i should had said one of the most [22:49] ircnickiuse, yes [22:50] soulfreshner, why?! [22:50] only after uninstalling [22:50] ircnickiuse, you should but why not use 64 bit? [22:50] texasjack: which version do you run ? intrepid ? [22:50] DasEi, Jaunty... 9.04 [22:50] !version [22:50] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [22:50] DasEi: Ok, back to the DOS prompt [22:50] hello guys, when boot under jaunty, it showed 'IO APIC cannot be allocated', anybody has an idea how to fix that? [22:50] Mekkis, that is awesome. Now I need a time machine to travel into the future when ubuntu enables this by default. When do you think that will be? perhap in 2020 when people are installing 500gb systems by default [22:50] ircnickiuse, you mean it doesn't? [22:50] cabrey: i only got 1 issue with 64 bit,,, the flash 64 bit is still funky :P [22:50] haha [22:51] * Mekkis uses SuSE on his machine with 6GB of RAM === quizz_ is now known as Armageddon [22:51] jimmyjh, i assume you have the 64 bit alpha? [22:51] Mekkis, ew [22:51] :P [22:51] is there a nice graphical client for git ? [22:52] texasjack:give it a try : http://paste.ubuntu.com/193798/ [22:52] ok screw getting remote desktop to work on my laptop anyone able to find a way to get 3d graphics out of a black listed ATI Radeon mobility 5700 [22:52] remove it from the blacklist... [22:52] ircnickiuse, in that case, PAE wouldn't be useful: it only gives you a 36-bit address bus, good for 64GB of addressable RAM [22:52] DasEi: so now i am back to the DOS prompt.. [22:52] Mekkis, well, it looks like ubuntu had better enable it before 2020 then [22:52] cabrey: i used 64 bit alot but the issue is when for example open up firefox, "firefox" and then open another firefox window and open up another flash video half the time the video blacks out and reloading firefox does the trick [22:52] ircnickiuse, there might be a precompiled ubuntu pae kernel [22:52] like. in 2009. when people are putting in 4gb as a baseline now [22:53] Ricochet: sudo apt-get install hwinfo [22:53] carpii: i don't think there is one that implements more than a small fraction of the command line functionality [22:53] Anyone know what Signal: "SIGSEGV [segmentation fault] Aborting." means? [22:53] can some one help me pls? [22:53] cabrey, if so, can you walk around to my hosting company and shoot them in the face? thanks [22:53] carpii: if you want to really use git, you should learn the console tools [22:53] kerebrus, it means the application accessed memory it isn't allowed to [22:53] DasEi, OK. You just commented all the mouse references? I'll try this... THANK YOU. [22:53] why doesn't wine add itself to the menu when I install it again? [22:53] Means the app you were using got a segfault... [22:53] Ricochet: sudhwinfo | pastebinti [22:53] ircnickiuse, haha why? [22:53] yeah i know the tools, but a gfx client is always nicer :( [22:53] cabrey, because they are twats [22:53] Ricochet: sudhwinfo | pastebint * [22:53] elli222: its black listed because ATI doesnt support linux drivers for the R100 chip [22:53] cabrey: i didnt mean to quote ff haha i hit paste [22:53] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server << that is supposed to install PAE? [22:53] Ricochet: sudo hwinfo | pastebint ** [22:53] Mekkis: is there a way to fix it? [22:54] ircnickiuse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7159405&postcount=3 [22:54] kerebrus, did you write it? [22:54] cabrey, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [22:54] hi. is there a way to upgrade from regular ubuntu to ubuntu studio without reinstalling? [22:54] bambu: you can install Ubuntu studio into a normal Ubuntu install [22:54] sebsebseb, have you read my question ? [22:54] Mekkis: no its a game under linux [22:54] !studio | bambu [22:55] bambu: 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 [22:55] cabrey: sometimes i leave youtube tab or dropped window and watch a video at hulu or visit a website with flash, and poof it goes black [22:55] DasEi: While installing hwinfo it says that it could not resolve "us.archive.ubuntu.com" [22:55] bambu, install ubuntustudio-desktop [22:55] kerebrus, it's a result of a programming error. You can file a bug report if you want to... [22:55] I have a problem with the clocksource, i tried to change a line in menu.lst to change the clocksource from tsc to hpet, but it continues to charge the tsc unstable when i reboot [22:55] > No, it's not enabled in the normal kernel. Use the server kernel if you want PAE without compiling the kernel yourself. SOMEBODY please tell me there is a really really good reason, like PAE really really sucks, as to why the desktop version isn't PAE by default [22:55] jimmyjh, thats annoying, have you tried another browseR? [22:55] kerebrus, is it freedroid by any chance? [22:55] DasEi: and unable to fetch some archives [22:55] uriol: yeah and what about it? [22:55] Ricochet: sudo ping google.com [22:55] how can i charge the hpet clocksource ? [22:56] Ricochet: network up ? [22:56] bambu: sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop that will do it [22:56] cabrey: i wanted to try opera to see if it does the same but i have not,, and currently i put back on 32bit and i have 4gigs so im missing 1 so wish i could use 64 [22:56] ircnickiuse, no idea: I've been using a PAE kernel for the last year with no trouble... [22:56] DasEi: Unknown host [22:56] the link I saw says "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" will enable PAE.... doesn't seem right [22:56] elli222: no its ut2004 [22:56] jimmyjh, it is the server kenel [22:56] kernel* [22:56] Mekkis, can you give ANY conceivable excuse for ubuntu not shipping with PAE? [22:56] kerebus, install the libstdc5 package! [22:56] Ricochet: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:56] ircnickiuse, oops see above [22:56] DasEi: Yeah my network is up, i am on wireless though.. does that make a difference? [22:57] cabrey, oh yeah, lol [22:57] ircnickiuse, no, I can't [22:57] jimmyjh, this link also applies to you then: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7159405&postcount=3 for PAE [22:57] ok does anyone know any open source drivers that will utillize the 3d rendering capabilities of the ATI radeon mobility 5700 (its the R100 chip) [22:57] Ricochet: sudo apt-get install hwinfo [22:57] glandon: lol, there are none [22:57] can someone help me install bitchx .. i can't seem to find the package anywhere [22:57] DasEi: it said the same thing [22:57] i've uncommented all the repo's in sources.list and updated already [22:57] so, ubuntu, man the fusk up and differentiate between that fail of a system windows with no activation, clean install and language support, PAE support etc. [22:57] glandon, i doubt such drivers exist... [22:58] glandon, I believe the open-source radeon does [22:58] rla_: That's because it's not in the repositories. It's unsupported upstream and has a few major exploits that are unpatched. [22:58] oh bleah [22:58] DasEi: Failure to fetch, and can not resolve [22:58] weak.. whats the client people are using now a days? [22:58] DasEi, and what about this: "(--) PCI:*(0@1:0:0) nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] rev 161, Mem @ 0xfd000000/16777216, 0xe0000000/134217728, BIOS @ 0x????????/131072" My GeForce BIOS is messed up? [22:58] rla: sudo apt-get install pork should work i think [22:58] rla_: irssi :D [22:58] raylu: but ive heard of people getting compiz fusion to work on this graphics card [22:58] hey gang, user here has lost his gnome panel...how do we get it back? [22:58] cabrey: so basically i have to reinstall server and get gnome desktop and such? [22:58] glandon, according to radeon's man page, it supports the R100 (listed as Radeon 7200) [22:58] glandon: right. they didn't use the open-source drivers [22:59] jimmyjh, no, just install the server kernel [22:59] texasjack: is your mouse working now ? [22:59] ok brb.. epic4 is ick [22:59] jimmyjh, it has PAE support built in [22:59] !panel | david__ [22:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about panel [22:59] I have to log out... Just a minute.... [22:59] o.0 [22:59] cabrey: wonder if it has any more advantages as well? [22:59] Okay so sometimes flashplugin-nonfree wont work... flash content (.swf) in firefox won't load, or says I need to install flash. This randomly happens randomly when I have more than one tab opened with flash content on the page. I'm running ubuntu 8.10 and I have an amd processor [22:59] cabrey: ok [22:59] jimmyjh: it has the disadvantage of being tuned for thoroughput instead of latency, i believe [22:59] mekkis: hmm thanks i will have to try installing that one from ATIs website [23:00] the only solution i have is sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [23:00] DasEi: I restored the network and it still didnt fetch them.. [23:00] Neconide: 64-bit? [23:00] ircnickiuse: iirc, nvidia drivers don't play nice with pae. Why not use 64 bit if you need to use 4+gb of ram on a desktop? [23:00] raylu: yep [23:00] How do I find out the /dev/ location of a volume? [23:00] much better.. lack of ansi is ick [23:00] I'm using 9.04 and there is a leak somewhere that is driving me crazy. [23:00] When I try to download SERVER LTS it by default selects the AMD64 version to download, but I want to download the i386 version, is there an alternative link? [23:00] Neconide: same issue here. first, instead of remove/install, there is reinstall [23:00] jrib, wondering the same thing [23:00] !ati [23:00] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:00] Neconide: and second, i find that restarting firefox fixes the issue [23:00] jrib, I didn't know there was a work around for the fail of an app skype (32bit) [23:00] install ubuntustudio-desktop didnt work [23:00] raylu: sometimes it doesn't for me [23:00] Ricochet: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.working /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:00] It uses up all my ram, and it isn't the caching feature. My computer starts to swap applications, and other stuff crashes. [23:00] ircnickiuse, 32 bit apps can still run in 64 bit environments [23:01] raylu: Sometimes that will work, but sometimes it completely craps out and i need to reinstall [23:01] ircnickiuse: huh? Are you a bot? [23:01] Ricochet: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:01] anyone else know how to restore the gnome panel? [23:01] david__, what do you mean? [23:01] !panel | david__ [23:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about panel [23:01] lol [23:01] !panels | david__ [23:01] david__: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:01] !lol | raylu [23:01] raylu: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [23:01] jrib, why would you think that? (no really, what did I say / do) [23:01] hold on [23:01] ircnickiuse: I don't see how your response is related at all to what I said [23:01] sebsebseb: it was funny because i tried the exact same thing [23:02] it says "missing destination file operand after 'ubuntustudio-desktop' " [23:02] raylu: I didn't see you [23:02] Ricochet: can you browse from within the desktop? [23:02] jrib: Why not use 64 bit if you need to use 4+gb of ram on a desktop? ircnickiuse: because skype sucks [23:02] DasEi: back to login screen [23:02] raylu: So there's no solution? :( [23:02] can I install the amd64 on a i386 machine, ? [23:02] Ricochet: can you browse from within the desktop? [23:02] server edition [23:02] seems like I pass the turing test [23:02] ircnickiuse: right, skype sucks so use something else [23:02] Neconide: not that i know of. you can try installing the plugin manually [23:02] when I try to download it, it by defaults download the amd64 [23:02] DasEi: Yes [23:02] raylu: it's stupid that one, really I think both !panel and !panels should trigger it [23:02] im running a xeon CPU [23:02] nVEe: use us.releases.ubuntu.com [23:02] sebsebseb: agreed [23:02] Ricochet: sudo apt-get install hwinfo === rla_ is now known as rla === rla is now known as rla_ [23:03] ircnickiuse, I can think of one reason why you'd want PAE on a 32-bit system, rather than using a 64-bit system [23:03] jrib: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VoIP_apps_that_support_Skype_credits [23:03] refer to that page [23:03] raylu: Also, whenever i pull firefox up from the taskbar its in a fullscreen mode, but not f11. i need to press f11 to put it into fullscreen and press f11 again to take it out of fullscreen for the top & bottom taskbars to be displayed. [23:03] ircnickiuse, are you trying to compile wine from source and stuff like that? [23:03] Mekkis, ? what? [23:03] !skype > ircnickiuse [23:03] ircnickiuse, please see my private message [23:03] Ricochet: sudo hwinfo | pastebinit [23:03] ircnickiuse: that page suggests you can get skype to work on amd64 [23:03] DasEi: ok it worked this time [23:03] Neconide: that's strange. i don't have the option of minimizing in my window manager, though, so i can't help you with that. are you using compiz by any chance? [23:03] it says "missing destination file operand after 'ubuntustudio-desktop' " [23:04] jrib, skype works, thanks. PAE doesn't. you aren't making sense [23:04] when i try to install [23:04] raylu: Yes [23:04] nVEe, try looking in one of the ftp directories for ubuntu [23:04] jrib, did you check that wikipedia page? [23:04] Neconide: i'd try it with metacity/effects off [23:04] ircnickiuse: you brought up skype, not me. [23:04] jrib: Which is the best version to download for the server? The LTS or the latest version? [23:04] DasEi, yep. Now it's much better. The scroll wheel don't stay 'repeating'... It was like up = up*2... Now its up = up. Thank you for your patience and attention... [23:04] Ricochet: it's possible cause the wifi gets loaded after xorg [23:04] jrib, I know, I saw that after I went back to 32bit [23:04] ircnickiuse, a guide for installing skype on 64 bit: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295 [23:04] its possible [23:04] nVee, depends what kind of suport you want [23:04] !best | nVEe [23:04] nVEe: 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. [23:04] jrib, yes, I know I did... skype is the reason I am not using 64bit... [23:04] nVEe: I use LTS on the server unless you don't mind updating every 6 months [23:04] raylu: and sometimes, the titlebar with the exit, minimize, and maximize bar will dissapear until i hover over one of the buttons a few times. [23:04] hey does anyone know a simple command line tool to test basic network connectivity based on a specific port? [23:04] cabrey, thanks, I saw that... after I reimaged [23:04] like ping, but with a port connection [23:04] raylu: All these bugs are beginning to piss me off -_- [23:05] texasjack: np, if you got no issues in graphics, can ignore xorg.0.log often [23:05] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f1b2ca03 [23:05] ircnickiuse: yes. So now I have just linked you to a page that tells you you can use skype on amd64... [23:05] Trentor_, DasEi: dpkg --configure -a is correct [23:05] ircnickiuse: what is your current question? [23:06] jrib, which I already told you I knew about after switching back to 32bit, and then realising I need a PAE kernel, which you then said, why don't you use 64bit, and I said skype, and you said, you can install it on 64bit, and I said, I know, but I didn't knwo before I went back to 32bit, and you said, why are you talking abotu skype, adn I said, because I want to use it, and you said, why not use 64bit, and I said, I did, and you said ... you see, [23:06] we could be here all day [23:06] Thank you!!!! [23:06] you're welcome [23:06] ircnickiuse: reread the first thing I told you [23:07] jrib, ditto, I've installed PAE now, all is good [23:07] ircnickiuse: k [23:07] ircnickiuse: not you, lol [23:07] raylu: Oh now I have myself in quite a situation... [23:07] ircnickiuse, you have rebooted already? [23:07] raylu: Whenever I exit compiz from the terminal (cntrl+c) my screen gets all fucked up and i cant switch windows or anything until I restart compiz (by typing compiz) [23:07] hi. how do i upgrade from regular ubuntu to ubuntu studio? just download from website? [23:07] No issues... I just loose some fps when testing with 'glxgears'. Initial Ubuntu plus some sethings that I inserted in xorg.conf, give me 1160 FPS... Now it's about 850~900... But i think it's 'cause the resolution: before I was testing in 1152x864x24, now I'm at 1280x960x24. [23:08] bambu, sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop [23:08] yes [23:08] DasEi.... [23:08] raylu: I was expecting it to fork... [23:08] cabrey - yes, total 8068 on free -m [23:08] Neconide: metacity --replace [23:08] cabrey and bambu well aptitude may be better for the bigger stuff [23:08] * ircnickiuse sets topic for #ubuntu to "PAE FTW, LOL SKYPE SUCKS" [23:08] DasEi: did you get that last link? [23:09] ircnickiuse, make sure all your hardware works. there is no reason it shouldn't, but just in case [23:09] joining [23:10] cabrey, same machine has run 64bit server kernel before...just a few hours ago [23:10] After noticing a memleak on my old box I reinstalled with a fresh 8.04.1 Server x64 to get rid of it, only to find it reappear now... Any suggestions on how to track it down / eliminate it? [23:11] raylu: That crashed the kernal somehow o_o [23:11] Ricochet: yes, I'm searching, though it's a 1602, either the tut is wrong or it's cause you own et1602, gotta search a little [23:11] Neconide: *kernel? how? [23:11] Neconide: *how do you know it was a kernel panic? [23:12] raylu: well the last time the kernel was being an ass all cli+gui died then ubuntu went into full cli and rebooted my pc lol [23:12] raylu: same thing happened [23:12] Neconide: er, that's not a kernel panic [23:12] Neconide: that sounds like X crashing [23:12] HOw I know if a file is a hard link? [23:12] where is a good place to get ubuntu themed dual monitor wallpapers? [23:12] DasEi: By the way.. just FYI when I touch the screen it acts like I am clicking the mouse.. it wont move to where my finger is pressed but wherever the mouse is at the time that I press the screen, it will click there [23:12] raylu: I guess I don't know the difference then. [23:13] nsahoo: don't think there is anywhere as such [23:13] !themes > nsahoo [23:13] nsahoo, please see my private message [23:13] velo dipinto [23:13] raylu: what would kernal panic look like [23:13] DasEi: It shouldnt be because of the eee top, because others have gotten the resolution working.. i did send you that link right? well just take your time and let me know.. thanks for your help btw [23:13] raylu: or would it look like anything at all lol [23:13] alessio [23:13] Neconide: *kernel [23:13] sebsebseb [23:13] Neconide: usually, capslock and numlock flash [23:13] send velo dipinto [23:14] !it | alessio [23:14] alessio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:14] raylu: I don't have any caps lock/numlock light indicators on this keyboard [23:14] * TheJohn is back (gone 00:00:44) [23:14] is ubottu a bot? [23:14] Neconide: also, generally, your system freezes. it doesn't kill X or anything and you're forced to hard reset [23:14] nsahoo: obviously [23:14] * TheJohn is away: BBL AGAIN. Time for a break off my computer. [23:14] !away > TheJohn [23:14] TheJohn, please see my private message [23:14] raylu: Ah [23:14] raylu: how obvious? [23:15] !bot | nsahoo [23:15] nsahoo: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:15] hello [23:15] Ricochet: yes, I followed that link, but obviously it's not working, found a tag from march18th this year saying you have to compile the video driver, searching.. [23:15] raylu: thanks for the info, gonna play around with compiz a bit and see if I can fix any of the issues. [23:15] sebsebseb: thank you very much for your help; it worked and the panel's back [23:15] ubttou is creepy [23:15] Hm, what are the chances of a person losing Windows that's never installed Ubuntu? [23:15] david__: good :) [23:15] Neconide: i still think you should just turn effects off [23:15] nsahoo, he is very helpful [23:15] ttyl [23:15] cabrey: is it a he or she [23:15] !thanks | nsahoo [23:15] nsahoo: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [23:15] raylu: is there a way to do that from cli, i dont feel like looking through the settings manager lol [23:15] !m/f [23:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about m/f [23:16] send [23:16] nsahoo, his name sounds masculine, so male it is [for me at least] [23:16] Neconide: it's simple. system > prefs > visual effects > none [23:16] !love > nsahoo [23:16] nsahoo, please see my private message [23:16] Neconide: though the way to do it in the cli would have been metacity --replace [23:16] DasEi: I have no idea what that means.. but it sounds scary. [23:16] raylu: but that opens up a required (possibly child) process constant in the terminal [23:17] gee .. i am out a here .. and thanks for all the creep .. [23:17] Neconide: put & at the end [23:17] umm [23:17] whoever told me to turn off my away message thing [23:17] piss off [23:17] raylu: Okay [23:17] IT WAS ONE LINE [23:17] :p [23:17] TheJohn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:17] Neconide: or, if you forget the &, ctrl+z, then type bg [23:17] TheJohn: hi [23:17] hi [23:17] TheJohn: if everyone were to spam lines like that, it'd be annoying [23:17] and bye [23:17] :P [23:17] does anyone here have expericne with shoutcast [23:17] bbl [23:17] TheJohn: it was more than one line [23:17] TheJohn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:17] raylu: it happened again... still... lol [23:17] TheJohn: also, they're useless, so they're still spam [23:17] raylu: metacity --replace & [23:17] TheJohn: and I thought I would get the bot to tell you since the ops weren't here [23:18] Neconide: so, like i said, do it from the menu [23:18] raylu: but now I either need to leave this terminal open until I log out/reboot -- and I dont feel like reconnecting to 10 irc servers again lol [23:18] Neconide: why? [23:19] raylu: If I close it, X crashes [23:19] Neconide: ctrl+z, then bg [23:19] raylu: It's not forked. [23:19] raylu: bg? [23:19] Neconide: it tells a backgrounded process to run [23:19] hm [23:19] give focus to the terminal running metacity before using ctrl+z [23:20] I unloaded pulseaudio to use alsa, and modprobe snd_dummy - everything worked fine - problem now is, after restart it doesn't load snd_dummy :-/ [23:20] it shows in sound prefs, but mixer says couldn't load anything - any ideas? [23:21] after creating a link with "sudo ln -T ./libIl.so.1.1.0 ./libIl.so -s" nautilus always crashes when I try to go to /usr/lib [23:23] out beback [23:24] asd [23:26] How do you shut down a non-responsive application? [23:26] On 64-bit, ubuntu-restricted-extras installs the Sun JRE but the IcedTea plugin. A 64-bit Sun plugin exists; why isn't it used? [23:26] liamo1: Hit Alt-F2, type xkill , press enter. Click on the unresponsive program. [23:27] thanks veritos [23:27] how to roll back to hardy heron? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [23:27] sara-: I don't believe that that's supported, you'd probably have to reinstall [23:27] !downgrade | sara- [23:27] sara-: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [23:28] sara-: which version are you currently on? why do you want to go back to hardy? [23:29] good night, and run a disk check by ubuntu ntfs? [23:29] sebsebseb, im on 9.4 ? the latest and i dont have enoug ram [23:29] Hello! I'm wondering if anyone can tell me where the module 'sky2' comes from... is there someplace online with the latest src code, or is it something that's included with the kernel? [23:29] 150mb [23:29] sara-: oh RAM [23:29] I'm trying to install to an old unused hard drive, but the installation program doesn't seem to acknowledge it. Any advice? [23:29] sara-: you only have 150MB RAM? [23:29] hey all [23:29] sara-: what's the problem exactly? [23:29] sebsebseb, 150 mb RAM [23:29] Ricochet: yeah, hurdes, you need intels ddx driver ver 2.7, which you have to compile from source, further : http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Asus_EeeTop [23:30] its slow [23:30] sara-: there's a swap trick [23:30] guest2: Is there a /dev/sdb or whatever? [23:30] sara-: computers with 128MB RAM probably won't even boot up the later Live CD's, unless a 512MB or so SWAP partition is already on there [23:30] good night, and run a disk check by ubuntu ntfs? ( excluse my inglish ) [23:30] anyone no how i might be able to fix my wifi problem [23:30] sara-: have you got a SWAP? How big is it? [23:30] sebsebseb, kk [23:31] !fsck | mtllc22 [23:31] mtllc22: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [23:31] Ricochet: still around? [23:31] sara-: there are also distros such as Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux which are specifically made for old hardware [23:31] sebastian_, i'll check [23:31] I am using Jaunty on my main PC, has anyone else had a problem with the workspace switcher only showing you open apps in the "desk 1" panel even if you rotate the cube to the other desktops? [23:32] DasEi: fsck supports ntfs? i don't see a fsck.ntfs [23:32] no this can go to 4gb [23:32] DasEi: Yes i am [23:32] i've always booted up windows to do fsck on the ntfs system :/ [23:32] sara-: what can go to 4GB? [23:32] hi im using gparted to create a new partitio but it ownt let me make it NTFS [23:32] sebsebseb, this machine can have 4gb ram but when i got it they only had 150mb RAM [23:32] whats up all [23:32] wallshot: no, itdoesnt, but ntfsprogs do [23:32] sara-: well that's weird [23:33] sara-: are you sure it's 150MB? it dosan't even sound like a standard RAM size to me [23:33] sebsebseb, that is manufacturers being cheap scates [23:33] bypass: hello and welcome. ask your question and someone might be able to help you. [23:33] sara-: heh [23:33] DasEi: I am still here and ready [23:34] Ricochet: I suggest for now a last try with another xorg.conf, else you should save the links and come back another time (or if still busy find sb els) to help you compiling [23:34] sara-: when was that computer bought? [23:34] sebsebseb, 1.43GiB [23:34] swap* [23:34] raylu: Thank you for your help, but I'm giving up. Just had to reboot lol [23:34] sara-: and 150MB RAM you say, even though the computer could do 4GB hum [23:34] can anyone help me figure out how to make a partition NTFS on gaprted, right now the selection is gray [23:35] Ricochet:gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:35] eipark: make a NTFS why? [23:35] a year ago from a shop that rents stuff like sofa's ect sebsebseb [23:35] raylu: Well I needed to boot into windows then into ubuntu, not going to tell you why, its a looong story about how I installed ubuntu [23:35] sebsebseb: i need to get XP [23:35] I am using Jaunty on my main PC, has anyone else had a problem with the workspace switcher only showing you open apps in the "desk 1" panel even if you rotate the cube to the other desktops? [23:35] Im using Ubuntu 9.04.. whats it called? Hardy? [23:35] sara-: ok it dosn't sound like a very good shop to buy a computer from [23:35] eipark: why? [23:35] Cry__Baby: Hardy is like 8.04 [23:35] 150mb ram means 14 is used for video [23:35] Neconide, is 9.04 Jaunty then? [23:35] cause i want to run some things on a windwos machine [23:36] yes, 9.04 == jaunty [23:36] neodragon, bad compiz configuration? [23:36] ok [23:36] thanks [23:36] deany: yeah I was thinking it was weird, at least you seem to know what he/she is on about [23:36] deany: she/he in this case I think [23:36] well, some is used for ram [23:36] neodragon, try to click on the pager and set more workspaces.... [23:36] 150 is an odd amount. [23:36] ram i mean video [23:36] neodragon, or, go to ccsm, at General Options, and see what's in there.... [23:37] sara-: Sara is Sarah yeah? easier to know the gender than to say he/she or she/he when refering to someone [23:37] god im tired. [23:37] raylu: Is there any way to disable metacity from the settings manager? It's obviously not under 'effects' because the only thing I have on is window decorations, for exit minimize etc [23:37] Im off like a jewish foreskin [23:37] eipark: if i recall correctly, you don't need an NTFS partition to install XP. just leave the free space and the XP installer will recognize it. [23:37] Hey guys, I am new to linux and ubuntu (first time user) and I just installed ubuntu jaunty 2 days ago. I was wondering do I need to install any drivers for my video card? [23:37] texajack: under ccsm it is set to 4 desktops and on my pager it is also set to 4 [23:37] deany: uhmmm some people might find your comment just now offensive, not me, but others [23:38] anyone using Zoiper on Jaunty ? [23:38] Ricochet:http://paste.ubuntu.com/193826/ [23:38] deany: you know the commands or whatever to check how much RAM sara has? [23:38] neodragon, 4 'desktops'.... That's wrong.... [23:38] sebsebseb, everyone but jewish people? [23:38] DasEi: Ok I pasted it in and saved and exited [23:38] deany, sebsebseb: Tell her to run 'free' and give us the output [23:38] sebsebseb, i just checked my genitalia and surprisingly i am actually a girl [23:38] DasEi: Oh wait.. thats a new one [23:38] Whats the best way to install OpenOffice 3.1 on Hardy Heron? Anybody know if there is a repo I can add for updates to OpenOffice to be included with regular updates? [23:38] chrones: Usually you can keep the default, but it's better to install the proprietary drivers. that can be install using the Restricted Driver Manager [23:38] veritos: yes I was thinking free or free -m [23:39] neodragon, it's about the 'Horizontal Virtual Size', set it to 4. and Vertical to 1... And your pager to 4... [23:39] carbm1: manually, repo's won't do it. [23:39] carbm1, yes there is [23:39] sara-: my point was not to assume it's a guy all the time in here, and really it should have been obvious enough to me with your name [23:39] patapouf, how do i get to the restricted driver manager? [23:39] For installing 9.04 on an spare hard-drive, any tricks to get it to acknowledge sdc1? [23:39] chrones: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [23:39] hi [23:40] DasEi: Ok saved and exited === sara- is now known as sara-agirl [23:40] I've googled a bit about it but several have said it has a few problems with menu items and such. Was wondering if there was a supported way or not. [23:40] neodragon, worked? [23:40] texasjack: that worked, I don't know why I had desktops set to 4. [23:40] v [23:40] guest2: Temporarily disconnect your primary HDD? [23:40] sebsebseb, that better? [23:40] guest2: does it not see the drive currently? [23:40] sara-agirl: hum you don't need to do that [23:40] chrones: than you need to activate the drivers (if disable). What is your Card ? [23:40] texasjack: now my pager is working like it should thanks [23:40] neodragon, I don't know either what's the function of the "Desktop" option.... [23:40] sara-agirl: anyway as someone suggested run free and give us the output [23:40] neodragon, no problemo. You're welcome here. [23:41] sebsebseb, i do cus ****apparently some people dont know what gender i am [23:41] texasjack: so that option is for if I have multiple moniters set up right? [23:41] patapouf, I was already snooping around in there but there doesnt seem to be anything to install (see screenshot): http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8937/screenshothardwaredrive.png [23:41] Ricochet:sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:41] I know I keep buggin people about this problem, but I'm about to do a heartbreak. Is there any decent solution for people having ATI card not supported by fglrx ? [23:42] carbm1, Jeruvy https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa [23:42] chrones: What is your card ?? [23:42] sara-agirl: it's not even that important on IRC really, just computer rooms mainly have guys in them or so it seems. [23:42] How do I merge unallocated hd space with Ubuntu? [23:42] neodragon, but if you wanna something cool. Set the Horiz to 4, or even 8; and Vert to 2, or even 4... It's awesome see all those "desktops" in the Expo plug-in... =) [23:42] ATi Radeon 9800 pro [23:42] On 64-bit, ubuntu-restricted-extras installs the Sun JRE but the IcedTea plugin. A 64-bit Sun plugin exists; why isn't it used? [23:42] agp [23:42] neodragon, I have no idea, man.... [23:42] Artemis3: ah gtk, but I hardly consider ppa's for support purposes :) [23:42] Ricochet: effect ? [23:42] sara-agirl: Can we get back on topic now :) please run free and pastebin the output [23:43] Jeruvy, easier than manual ;) [23:43] texasjack: thanks again [23:43] DasEi: Well its at a blank screen with a blinking underscore [23:43] neodragon, I never gat something to work with that with more than 1 desktop.... [23:43] Artemis3: again noted :) [23:43] How do I merge unallocated hd space with Ubuntu? [23:43] neodragon, *get.... [23:43] DasEi: This time i cant type or anything [23:43] chrones: Ok, ADM/ATI doesn't support this card any more with there propreitery drivers. The solution is to stay with your current setup : keep the open source driver. [23:43] chrones: Is ther performance is decent ? [23:43] veritos: ok, that might help. When I tried manual partitioning, it only reads 1 partition even after I used cfdisk to make 2... [23:43] Ricochet: Ctrl&Alt&F1 [23:44] DasEi: DOS again [23:44] use gparted [23:44] Ricochet: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.working /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:44] Dethroned: you mean expand your ubuntu partition to fill unused space? boot onto the livecd, then go to System->Administration->Partition Editor. that will let you expand partitions [23:44] sebsebseb, how ? -f? [23:44] veritos: Will it work without the Live cd? I've already installed ubuntu [23:44] patapouf: Desktop performance is fine but I am trying to play Counter Strike Source (I wanna see if i can get i running on my linux machine) and I keep crashing and I think it is because of the video drivers. I didnt install any drivers at all though, they come pre-installed [23:44] guest2: try using gparted, it's an awesome partition manager [23:44] Dethroned: no, it won't [23:44] Ricochet: so I give up for now, you may look further : http://paste.ubuntu.com/193830/ [23:44] anyone using Zoiper on Jaunty ? [23:44] Dethroned: you can't resize a partition that you're using. [23:45] veritos: kk...thanks [23:45] sara-agirl: and I would rather call someone he or she, rather than say, it or them. type free in the terminal and hit etner [23:45] DasEi: Thanks for your time man! I appreciate it [23:45] veritos: Do I have to go into a certain mode? [23:45] sebsebseb, has a way with the ladies [23:46] patapouf: Like the game crashes when i try to join a server I cant even join. And when i load the game via Steam on Wine it says somethign about out of date drivers [23:46] Thank you Artemis3. [23:46] deany: lol [23:46] chrones: At this time, with Jaunty you can forget it. Since the only driver for ATI card is the open source one, the performance in 3D is really bad .. [23:46] Ricochet: the second link of the pastebin is the one I think, find someone (fresh, hi) to walk you through [23:46] Cry__Baby, how is that virus coming along [23:46] DasEi: Ok, thanks man! [23:46] Dethroned: no. just the regular boot. it's in System->Administration->Partition Editor. you use that software to do what you want, then you need to reinstall grub. i have to leave now, but i'm sure that someone else can help with the grub reinstallation. [23:46] deany, i think I got rid off it :-) [23:47] chrones: We are a bunch of people in the same situation (Including me) [23:47] patapouf: Do you think going to an earlier version of ubuntu say 8.0ish would help? [23:47] Cry__Baby, did you even have one. Ok, well good job. [23:47] hi @all [23:47] Ricochet: hope to see you back on ee soon, night [23:47] deany, :) [23:47] sara-agirl: by the way I remember some guy had a 3GB RAM and slow/laggy Ubuntu 8.10 issue [23:47] sebsebseb, http://pastebin.com/d90d9a89 [23:48] chrones: wep, cause the propreitery driver gonna work. And I suggest you to install 8.04 as it's a LongTermSupport release (it's more stable) [23:48] how does every body feel about the gOS? === carlos is now known as Guest53072 [23:49] deany: ah yeah geekout put for those kind of commands, get some number, instead of it saying like 4GB or something. can you help me us understand the geekoutput that she just pasted? [23:49] hellow [23:49] cmb_kronios, I bet that its from Google... Its the scratch of their new OS. [23:49] chrones:If you plan is to do some gaming I guess it's a good choice to try Hardy 8.04 until we get a decent open source driver for 3D [23:49] anybody here [23:49] deany: how much RAM does she have? [23:49] I see this one in my syslog quite often: /USR/SBIN/CRON[1314]: (root) CMD ([ -x /usr/sbin/update-motd ] && /usr/sbin/update-motd 2>/dev/null) ... why is my motd updated? what's the reason behind this? [23:49] patapouf: Cool, thanks for the help [23:49] chrones: it's pleasure, and have fun trying Hardy ! :) [23:50] can anybody help me on how to make my a4tech headset work on ubuntu 9.04 [23:50] XCP: just another way to nickle and dime your cpu? :) [23:50] please [23:50] how come 9.04 is so fast to load, compared to other versions? [23:50] Anyone using the Jaunty Pre-Released packages (Karma)? === Max_ is now known as chuy_max [23:50] texasjack: no way! [23:50] man update-motd prolly says why [23:50] chrones, I have a mobility radeon 9800, no there is no hardware AMD/ATI driver [23:51] !karmic | texasjack [23:51] texasjack: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:51] Cry__Baby, wow..... [23:51] wallshot: indeed, it's been done 60+ times in the last 24 hours [23:51] Cry__Baby, thats scared me. I was thinking in installing it. o.O [23:51] texasjack, its a copy of ubuntu 8.04 [23:51] texasjack: im too scared [23:51] Jeruvy, thank you, too. [23:51] XCP: i thought "because ubuntu is the windows of linux" was too snarky an answer ;) [23:52] texasjack: backup ubuntu before you do, e.g Acronis Trueimage [23:52] Jeruvy, any discussion or progress anywhere of the new LaF for karmic? [23:52] texasjack: anytime [23:52] texasjack: Karmic WILL break, so you know [23:52] ircnickiuse: I am not aware sorry [23:52] cmb_kronios, but it's totally "patched" to Google.

[23:53] sebsebseb, please join #ubuntu-ops [23:53] texasjack: no problem brother tex :) [23:53] elky: fair enough [23:53] cmb_kronios, already try "Mint"?

[23:55] hello people [23:56] I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04, and all my file associations are screwed up [23:56] ie, Ubuntu doesn't know to open a zip with file-roller anymore [23:56] what can regenerate these associations? [23:56] sara-agirl: why you want swap? [23:56] Hilikus: 2.6.28 [23:56] Teltariat: in nautilusu rightclick > preferences or options or whatever [23:56] hmm [23:56] so 9.04 is latest [23:56] texasjack,what u mean?...i am a newbie reall y when it comes to linux but i came from windows and im loving the change ! [23:56] Vcoolio, yea, but for every file? [23:57] sara-agirl, if you have less than 1 GB of RAM, set it up to AT LEAST twice the size of your RAM. If you have 4 GB, make one with about 512 MB, or maybe 1 GB... If you're server... You're on your own. ;) [23:57] Teltariat: properties; no [23:57] how much does ubuntu take up on my harddrive when I want to run it on the live CD and save settings? [23:57] AgentBlair: according to the ubuntu site :) [23:57] :p [23:57] texasjack: she has left [23:57] well im from puppylinux [23:57] shouldn't be too much diff [23:57] AgentBlair: good question, test and let us know :) [23:57] but im running this on a more powerful comp [23:57] :p [23:58] Teltariat: eg. .avi then properties > open with choose vlc; in future all avis open in vlc [23:58] Evening [23:58] sebsebseb, ohhh.
