Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page [00:10] renagadex, network adapter: RTL8201CL [00:10] hello all [00:10] XeNiX, apt-get install -f works? [00:10] Flannel: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [00:10] XeNiX: what the bot said, and there's also a way to add the repo, for KDE3 packages in 9.04 [00:10] XeNiX, we'll remove kde3 later, but first we need to fix the mess. [00:10] usser: no i have some broken packages dont work :s [00:10] Jesus Christ this is hell lol [00:10] sebsebseb: i have ubuntu 8.10 [00:10] Dimitree: Sorry, close the GUI package manager you have open, then try again [00:10] renagadex, something i don't get: how come i have one yet this comp is from ~2005? i thought the 82xx's weren't out yet... [00:10] XeNiX, sudo apt-get remove --purge kde3 [00:10] XeNiX: I know and as I said you can't just have KDE3 there [00:10] Flannel: there is no gui opened and no package manager also only Xchat [00:10] racecar56: haha, I dont know anything about network adapters [00:11] couldnt find package kde3 [00:11] XeNiX: probably worth upgrading to 9.04, for KDE3, and you could do KDE 4.2 whilst your at it as well if you want [00:11] usser: i can upgrade ubuntu 8.10 to 9 ? without losing files ? [00:11] XeNiX: or downgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 that has a fully suppourted KDE3 [00:11] I have 1 ext3 partition for / which includes /home that has just run out of space. I have 1 LVM partition that has plenty of space. Which is an easier task?... expanding root ext3 filesystem to take some of the LVM away (if that's even possible???), or moving /home to the LVM? [00:11] /wi14 [00:11] err [00:11] renagadex, :\ [00:11] renagadex, k [00:11] usser: i can upgrade right ? ! [00:12] Flannel: i'm sorry it seams everything is broken i will reinstall and try to install LAMP first and then phpbb3 :/ o well wish me luck [00:12] racecar56; any way, I need video card drivers [00:12] yet another ubuntu reinstall lol [00:12] renagadex, :| [00:12] Dimitree: When you reinstall, *dont* reinstall phpbb3 [00:12] why does ubuntu (64-bit) only see 3.7 gigs of ram whereas my swap is 6.1 gigs? [00:12] Flannel: ok [00:12] Dimitree: That's whats causing this problem, the package is wonky for some reason. [00:12] racecar56: Because games screw up apperance and make things green when I quit [00:12] renagadex, nuts [00:12] renagadex, your card? [00:12] renagadex, ati rage? jk [00:13] racecar56: And I cant play tremoulus [00:13] Dimitree: File a bug about it, maybe ask the people in #ubuntu-motu about it, and your best course of action is probably to just grab it from upstream [00:13] XeNiX, yes sure [00:13] racecar56: It's ATI [00:13] renagadex, k... [00:13] Flannel: ok thank you for the help so far :) [00:13] need help with a usb phone, pulse sees it correctly but when I try to record with gnome-sound-recorder i only hear clicking [00:13] renagadex, ati rage is old [00:13] renagadex, it was around in 1999 [00:13] renagadex, O.o [00:13] racecar56: AMD Phenom(tm) 9750 Quad-Core Processor [00:13] oops [00:13] can i dist-downgrade? [00:13] renagadex, i have a ati radeon 9200SE in my comp right now.... [00:13] h/o [00:14] !downgrade | adam_ [00:14] adam_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [00:14] renagadex, its from 2003 (the vid card) [00:14] adam_: Why would you like to downgrade? Which version are you currently on? [00:14] some grub guru around who has 5 minutes for me? [00:14] usser : from cd is better coz apt-get not working , always showing the error of the package kde3 but ubunut .. is intalled [00:14] heya :) [00:14] racecar56: ha, Mobilitiy Radeon HD 3600 Series [00:14] renagadex, k.. [00:14] renagadex, im guessing that needs closed source drivers right? [00:14] kmplot won't show functions dialog again, help! [00:15] renagadex, my crumball laptop has a nvidia geforce go 7600 [00:15] sebsebseb: i'm on 9.04 for my server, but the mt-daapd service isn't working properly, i haven't had any issues with 8.04 32-bit but im on 9 64bit [00:15] renagadex, my crumball laptop is -*TERRIBLE*_ [00:15] racecar56, Possibly...? [00:15] adam_: ok clean install and put 8.04 on, in fact the LTS's are recommended for servers [00:15] racecar56, Closed source drivers [00:15] renagadex, a pentium 3 could beat it on moving 30 GB files [00:15] renagadex, :P [00:15] <`brandon`> how do i unzip a file? [00:15] any other msn client that supports webcam besides amsn ? [00:15] XeNiX, you cant upgrade from cd [00:15] sebsebseb: ya i know, i thought 9 was a LTS version, i mis-read so thast why i'm gonna go back to 8 [00:15] brandon right click it [00:16] XeNiX, only through apt-get [00:16] and select extract here [00:16] usser so :s ? [00:16] i just wanted to know if i could use apt, i guess not [00:16] apt-get gimme an error :s [00:16] MidnightDevil: Kmess maybe, and there's the cloused source Mercury Messenger made by one guy, which is a Java program also, which you can install from outside the repos [00:16] XeNiX, can you purge kde3. sudo apt-get remove --purge kde3 [00:16] `brandon` you answered your question [00:16] racecar56: hahaha (cant say lol....SEBSEBSEB) [00:16] <`brandon`> well it's in a terminal [00:16] `brandon` if you use the command line, then use unzip [00:16] <`brandon`> on a Shell. [00:16] ok, cheers :) another little thing [00:16] `brandon` unzip 'file' [00:16] adam_: yep good idea to only do the LTS's for servers [00:16] usser: couldn't find a package kde3 !s [00:16] renagadex: well you can, but you might annoy people a bit by doing so in here [00:17] my emerald theme settings doesnt show emerald themes when i click import, im on the dir where the themes are, but they arent showing up [00:17] Hello :> How can I save iptables rules so that they're automatically loaded upon bootup [00:17] sebsebseb: I'm just kidding [00:17] sebsebseb: yep, thanks for the answer [00:17] is there any way I can ssh into someones computer without them having to set up port forwarding? [00:17] adam_: np [00:17] stealth-: yes if it uses your open port, but I don't know that much about SSH [00:17] stealth-, i dont have to port forward... [00:17] XeNiX, hm i dont know. can you save all the error messages to a file and somehow pastebin it? its really hard to debug the issue like that [00:17] stealth-, i just install ssh and boom [00:18] racecar56: boom?

[00:19] renagadex, chmod +x file && ./file [00:19] renagadex, execute it [00:19] renagadex, replace 'file' with the .run fikle [00:19] renagadex, *file [00:20] what about && ./file? [00:20] renagadex, && means do this too if the previous command completes [00:20] renagadex, btw || is the total opposite of that [00:20] usser: http://pastebin.ca/1458363 [00:21] && means do this too if the previous command returns TRUE [00:21] usser: lol even kwrite is lost :s [00:21] <3 firefox3.5, works amazingly fast on ubuntu [00:21] fivetwentysix: not tried it yet on Linux, but that woudn't suprise me [00:21] XeNiX, sudo apt-get remove --purge konqueror-kde3 [00:22] sebsebseb: http://pastebin.ca/1458363 have a look please [00:22] racecar56: yeah bolean opps [00:22] XeNiX, also do sudo apt-get update [00:22] racecar56: what do I replace it with?

[00:33] sebsebseb: i saw only synaptic :s === Hiei_Jagan is now known as Bad_Yusuke [00:33] gtg [00:33] hilikus: i normally use unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive.. i then boot and do a normal install to the real hard drive.. i dont use unetbootin to install to a hard drive === _Siegfried is now known as Siegfried [00:33] usser: im doing ur method now , [00:34] Dr_Willis: i don't have a usb drive [00:34] XeNiX: yes it's synaptic basically [00:34] XeNiX: the upgrade thing [00:34] Hi everyone [00:34] hey everyone... I need some advice here: I downloaded some favicon.ico files and even though the image viewer can open them, if I use it to save them as png the system detects them and displays the thumbnail, but they must somehow be corrupted cause firefox won't open load them... what might be the problem here? [00:34] sebsebseb: is the way usser told me gonna work ? [00:34] XeNiX: maybe you should just clean install and do optional Ext4 file system as well :) then your 9.04 will be nice and clean and nice and fast [00:35] sebsebseb: ,) i dont want to lose some files :s [00:35] XeNiX: you can back up, and what usser said should work [00:35] I have a USB pendrive that I want to format with gparted to make a usb startup disk, on which format do I have to format the pendrive?

[00:36] Hi people, I had to reinstall ubuntu (I did it with unetbootin), everything went fine, except that it didn't consider my old home partition, and it doesnt want to mount it, even as an "external" partition, so i'd like to be able to mount it, and "make it be" my home partition again ,is it possible? [00:37] I use ext3 for my [00:37] aly: I guess you forgot or whatever, to tell it to use that partition as the /home mount point [00:37] (Sorry for my bad english) [00:37] !home | aly [00:37] aly: 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 [00:37] I use ext3 for my ubuntu pendrive [00:37] sebsebseb, It's exactly that, how can i tell him [00:37] Olá [00:38] XeNiX: np [00:38] Ok, I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed [00:38] If I format in ext3 i can still install ubuntu with ext4, right? sorry for the question, im new to this [00:39] hilikus: you are using unetbootin to basicailly do a live cd type setup on a hard drive then it seems.. you cant resize a partition thats mounted. So you are stuck unless you use some other way to boot/resize the hard drive then install [00:40] really??? [00:40] i didint expect that [00:40] gabriel_: yes [00:40] thanks mneptok [00:40] gabriel_: you a Windows user? [00:40] hilikus: unetbootin is a special tool used to make bootable flash drives.. it can also install to normal hard drives. but its not commonly used that way. [00:40] I use both Ubuntu 9.04 and windows xp [00:41] gabriel_: think of it as "if i install Windows using NTFS, will it still read FAT32?" [00:41] gabriel_: when installing - you can format to ext4 [00:41] how do i find out if i have 64 bit or 32 bit? [00:41] gabriel_: and certainly, yes [00:41] !windows | mneptok [00:41] mneptok: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[00:48] my pc tells me that there is no OS on this drive.. [00:48] tremulous will not start, I have link to pastebin [00:48] <|Ryan> Can someone help me with themes on Ubuntu 9.04? [00:48] pw-toxic: you can install grub from a live ccd to the hd if you know how... [00:48] racecar56: Tremulous still wont start [00:48] !themes > |Ryan [00:48] |Ryan, please see my private message [00:48] |Ryan: what's your actsual issue though? [00:49] Dr_Willis: lol after minutes my grub-install command responded with a "Installing Grub to /dev/sdd as (hd3)... i think i just wait some more ;) [00:50] Dr_Willis: do you know a link where i can read more about the (hdx) and sdx fdx things? i dont know what they mean [00:50] sebsebseb: Tremulous wont start [00:50] pw-toxic: grub homepage/. grub names drives differently then linux does. [00:50] pw-toxic: reading up on the grub-legacy docs. :) a good thing to learn [00:50] pw-toxic: boot back into the live-cd and sudo update-grup [00:50] pw-toxic: grub can do some amazing things. [00:50] how do I find out if Jaunty is 32 or 64 bit? [00:50] <|Ryan> Yeah, well, I go to install a theme and it pops up with an error message saying, "Can't move directory over directory" [00:50] renagadex: what's that? [00:51] sebsebseb: oh, sorry, its a game [00:51] |Ryan: its allready insfalled then . and its not letting you install it a 2nd time. [00:51] <|Ryan> But, it's not on my list? [00:51] sebsebseb: says cant load OpenGL [00:51] |Ryan: not all themes are full themes.. some packages are just parts.. check the customuze button/settings/dialogs [00:51] pw-toxic: " boot back into the live-cd and sudo update-grub " [00:51] |Ryan: the term theme is a bit of a misnomer in many cases [00:52] jimmyjh: it works now.. i was just wondering why the grub install command didnt respond for about 5 minutes [00:52] how do I find out if Jaunty is 32 or 64 bit? [00:52] since your talking about grub, I have Moblin on an SDHC in my card reader slot. would j;date-grub find it and add it to the menu? [00:52] <|unjustice|> Dethroned: it says in the name of the downloadable file [00:52] Dethroned: is it already installed? [00:52] Dethroned: uname -a, and look at the x8x_64 bit [00:52] Dethroned: or in the iso file name :) [00:53] <|Ryan> Thanks Dr_Willis, I got all my theme stuff. [00:53] pw-toxic: good good [00:53] bill-e1: some sd card slots are not bootable. [00:53] Dethroned: uname -a [00:53] I can boot from it if I select it with my bios [00:54] jimmyjh: it says generic [00:54] i forced install an older version of my synaptics driver. how do i keep the package manager from reminding me to upgrade it?

For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [00:56] ubuntu: sudo apt-get install rar [00:56] ubuntu: sudo apt-get install rar [00:56] sam\: Good idea [00:56] i have seen alot of videos showing people playing games on ubuntu ? [00:56] hey Dr Willis i got winff going to try it now, thanks again :) [00:56] jimmyjh: is there an editor for the grub boot options? i mean a graphical one.. something like startupmanager [00:57] sam\: depends on the game, but can get a lot of stuff working, also Linux has good native games [00:57] pw-toxic: it pays to learn how to edit menu.lst by hand [00:57] sam\: if you're switching to ubuntu to play games, stick to windows [00:57] could i create the partition with partition magic then install that way? [00:57] sam\: or go get a Wii [00:57] :D [00:57] Dr_Willis: ok.. maybe you also know a good tutorial for me? :D [00:57] sam\: could do I suppouse, but it would be better to use gparted, the Linux partition program [00:57] pw-toxic: yes,,, sudo apt-get install startupmanager [00:57] Dr_Willis ok, so if i want to do it with a usb drive, will it format it? [00:57] think i will just use ubuntu on my laptop.. [00:57] jimmyjh: i cant add new entries with this program [00:58] games is what i use the desktop pc for but alot of people are saying you can game? [00:58] can i play advanced games in ubuntu [00:58] pw-toxic: read the grub docs/manuals thats how i learned it.. the ubuntu menu.lst is also special in that it has special 'settings' with ONE # at the start of the line.. and other comments with 2 ## at the start of the lines watch out for those. [00:58] jimmyjh: i have reinstalled grub of the cloned HDD:. now when i boot from my new SSD .. the old OS is booted [00:58] sam\: you can but not as well [00:58] multiplayer to ? [00:58] sam\ and Ubuntu if you want to play Windows games, it's best to keep Windows around really, but you can get a lot of them working [00:58] with games with punkbuster? [00:58] sam\: Linux isn't Windows [00:58] ie, cod4 [00:58] !appdb [00:58] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [00:58] fivetwentysix: well that depends on the game, if it works as well, or worse, or sometimes better than Windows itself [00:59] i know that :) its a damm good os tho [00:59] will unetbootin format a usb drive if i use it as installer? [00:59] pw-toxic: no, you will have to edit the grub file for that try gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:59] jimmyjh: i've already opened it ;) now i have to figure out what hdx my SSD is ;) [01:00] pw-toxic: beware you can mess up grub if your not careful,, usually sudo grub-update will work [01:00] Hilikus: unetbootin nomally makes a bootable live cd setup on a usb drive using the fat16 or fat32 filesysteem. you can then install from that to other drives.. [01:00] how can i run c programming in ubuntu [01:00] jimmyjh: what do you mean with "mess up" [01:01] ubuntu: if you mean 'compile' c source code. install the compiler/developer tools [01:01] sam\: you can game [01:01] ah cool i can use the ubuntu UUIDs from my HDD [01:01] pw-toxic: sudo grub-update rather ,,, i had a long day [01:01] this is very easy [01:01] yes, sebsebseb so ppl tell me :/ [01:01] sam\: just Windows games some will just work, others will need configuring [01:01] but all can work? [01:01] sam\: Linux has good native games to, but yes Linux distros indeed are not Windows as someone pointed out [01:02] okay also would it be worth installing 64bit?? [01:02] sam\: as a result you should dual boot with Windows for Windows gaming [01:02] Dr_Willis but will it format it? cause i want to use my mp3 player, but i dont want to lose what i have there [01:02] pw-toxic: well be careful is all editing the list [01:02] i only use desktop for games anyways [01:02] sam\: since Windows virtual machines won't quite cut it yet for gaming [01:02] laptop is for general stuff [01:02] ubuntu: install the 'build-essential' package for the basic C developer system. [01:02] sam\: well then you want it on the lap top really [01:03] If I need to have both python 2.5 and 2.6 installed, how can I accomplish that? [01:03] i cant fault it on my laptop :D [01:03] sam\: and you can dual boot the desktop, and experiment with getting stuff working in Wine and such [01:03] sam\: can't put on lap top why? [01:03] Mike_lifeguard: i installed the python 2.5 stuff the other day alongside 2.6 to get some gdesklets things going. i just cloicked the 2.5 packages in synaptic and insgtgalled them [01:03] games would be too laggy [01:03] gpu is not soo good === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] i have only been using linux few weeks but already im finding it great :D [01:04] Dr_Willis: ok, so then how do you specify which python to use from shell? [01:04] sam\: hopefully more games will be made for linux as it gets more and more popular [01:04] sam\: using it how? [01:05] Dr_Willis - I've installed ssh, I'm using a non-standard port, and I've disabled anonymous logins. The firewall is on and only allows the one port through, and I'm about to punch a hole in the router. Anything else I should do before the throngs of deviants haxor me? [01:05] Mike_lifeguard: python2.6 :) vs pyton2.5 commands [01:05] few ways just surfing new music movies and stuff [01:05] k, thx [01:05] its a fairly new laptop tho everything work straight out the box [01:05] jimmyjh: can you tell me how i can find out on what HDD my ubuntu is currently running? ;) [01:05] worked* [01:06] CSSnub: check out the logwatch command also. :) it can show/summarize service access over a period of time. [01:06] pw-toxic, lshw [01:06] sam\: no I meant how did you install it? [01:06] Alright thanks :) [01:06] !info logwatch [01:06] logwatch (source: logwatch): log analyser with nice output written in Perl. In component main, is optional. Version 7.3.6.cvs20080702-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 318 kB, installed size 2312 kB [01:06] sam\: 64 bit is just fine its got its benefits [01:06] what thing i find hard, is unzipping files torrent i downloaded. [01:06] sam\: how much RAM do you have? and are you sure your computer is really 64bit? [01:06] sam\: unzip foo.zip is hard? :) [01:07] 2gig [01:07] i keep getting Can't connect SCO audio channel!: Connection timed out [01:07] unop: uff.. how can i put the output of this command into a file? the output is too long ;) [01:07] sam\ help with that sudo apt-get install p7zip rar [01:08] can i extract x amount [01:08] movies rar files? [01:08] pw-toxic, you can page the output like this. lshw | less or pipe to a file with lshw > filename # the former is better off course [01:08] i have tried to extract the first zip but it says the files are missing [01:08] sam\ Yeah the program you want is called 7 Zip [01:08] i need to be able to add the whole lot? [01:08] i install opensuse...but i'm curiuos if it's possible to install ubuntu too? appear some conflict between two bootloader? [01:09] unop: thanks [01:09] torrent movies come in 15rar u open the first one on windows [01:09] rasturm: dont share the same /home directorues.. and watch out for fighting GRUB setups and it canbe done [01:09] rasturm: or just use virtualbox to toy with the other disrtos [01:09] sam\: and its the same way on linux// You just unrar the first file [01:10] sam\: and movies that come like that are normally the ones i avoide. :) [01:10] im not sure why i was having problems with that then [01:10] can someone help me with my wireless internet? [01:10] sam\ more than likely extract the first and it will assemble the rest "like in windows" [01:10] So quick hack question, how can I when ubuntu alternative installer says "Cannot find suitable kernel" force it to install from a apt mirror? [01:10] well its just faster that way :P [01:10] could be a bad archive/torrent. [01:10] faster? Hmm never noticed. [01:11] from the ubuntu site it gives me 64bit > ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64 [01:11] is that for both amd and intel or not? [01:11] 64bit is for any 64bit cpu [01:11] okay :> just making sure [01:11] Hi, I am trying to compile a kernel with high memory support, however when I open xconfig, and select all options, the high memory support option is greyed out and I am unable to activate it, is there a way to fix this? [01:11] amd was the first common 64bit cpu out to the masses :) [01:11] sam\ it the amd64 is for intel or amd that supports 64bit [01:11] can someone help me my wireless internet uses wep and i dont know if its passphrase or the other but ive tried both and it wont work [01:11] :P [01:12] amd64 is just 64bit in general [01:12] well... for the ubuntu images [01:12] are you guys familiar with aircrack? [01:12] sam\, yes [01:12] Name rings a bell [01:12] what would be a good card to work with? [01:13] any atheros === jws141_ is now known as dashua[A90] [01:13] there is a new 1000mw atheros card out that is just amazing [01:13] sam\, i've tried two so far, my intel iwl3945 and atheros with ath5k driver [01:13] sam\, both worked great [01:13] i have wusb linksys usbspeed booster, [01:13] sam\, one was sniffing the other injecting packets [01:14] and a tp-link tl-wn620g usb card [01:14] usser: atheros.. is this an ethernet card? [01:14] and onboard on my laptop broadcom i think? [01:14] pw-toxic, no wifi [01:14] usser: I remember that i have read that there are some problems with atheros with ubuntu.. is that right? [01:14] very nice usser do you use it alot? [01:14] I guess nobody has an answer to my kernel problem then [01:14] usser: that the reason why i didnt buy a certain mainboard [01:15] pw-toxic, yes theres some quirks still, but ath5k is getting stabler by the minute [01:15] sam\, used it once to show my students how crappy wep is [01:15] usser: ah ok then this was a good decision ;) [01:15] :D [01:16] sam\: its good to tap off of ppl lol [01:17] huh(: [01:17] can someone tell me how i can downgrade bluez-utils?

[01:34] mibbsy, I think NTFS on the SATA, one of the other IDEs had Windows installed on it, so whichever filesystem an older Windows machine would use. FAT (?), FAT32 (?), or NTFS. The third IDE was taken out of an old DVR, and I'm trying to see what was written onto it. (I'm not sure if it should be able to mount or not, but I'm trying my luck.) Unknown what filesystem type is utilized. [01:34] Sam\, get gparted live cd [01:34] do i need to make 1 partition or two ext2 ext3 [01:35] Hello. What must I include in fstab to always have my "data" partition mounted across restarts (It's ntfs /dev/sda3 and I'd like it to mount even when "dirty" and the "shortcut" visible for all users) [01:35] sam\ recommend using gparted or ubuntu's live cd install to edit partitions because it has to be a linux fs [01:35] i make mine ext3 i believe, then i make a 2gig partition for swap [01:35] jimmyjh, is ext3 correct? [01:35] so i boot this gparted cd? [01:35] and edit my drive that way [01:35] yea, download, burn boot [01:36] sam\ if you are wanting to install ubuntu, you need to create an ext3 or ext4 mount as / and 1 swap partition [01:36] 10gb should be okay for partition right? [01:36] its a partition from windows ntfs drive [01:36] hm.. i'd like to make an archive of a 40GB direcotry tree. is there anything faster than tar? which is running veeery sloooow [01:36] resize current disk to what you want, then work with your freed space and make the partitions as you like [01:36] mibbsy, oh. Partitions... The SATA has two partitions, a recovery and the main Windows partition. The one IDE (which has Windows installed) has only one partition, I'm fairly sure. When booting it up before, it gave no options for a recovery partition of any kind, and Windows listed no other partitions. I'm guessing that the third IDE has only one partition, but that's uneducated. [01:37] i have 5 hard drives i have to be carefull not to mess it up :> [01:37] sam\: you can always install ubuntu with live cd, and manually edit the partitions yourself [01:37] sam\ are you planning on just testing or using for a long time? also are you going to be doing any heavy downloading? [01:37] well testing my games for now [01:37] Jason2gs: have you looked at those hdds with a partition editor?

[01:39] my system has 1.2GBytes but is lagging just running compiz/firefox [01:39] so can u guys help me then :> [01:39] Is there a way I can enable VNC server remotely from commmand line? I need to get into my work box... but only have shell access. (would be nice if I could start it at boot so I could log in to X [GDM] remotely) [01:39] sam\: i have 320 and i have multiple os on mine and its not close to filled up yet lol [01:39] u guys use cairo-dock 2 beta isit? [01:39] thats some nice dock.. [01:39] i would use at least 40 for my ubuntu, but that me and what you want is all up to you buddy [01:39] sagredo: it may not be the ram but your video card [01:39] well i rip alot of dvds to my hard it just mounts up after time [01:39] delete them? [01:39] and i like my games xD [01:40] mibbsy, last time I tried viewing one of the IDEs with GParted, it (GParted, or possibly the whole computer, forget) froze, and my computer crashed when I unplugged the HDD. [01:40] i do when i need space [01:40] sam\: believe you need an external very badly [01:40] my last one blew up, but yeh im gonna buy one soon [01:40] overclockers have some nice cheap ones :D [01:41] sam\: cheap way buy an external enclosure get a sata hd, and slap em together you have a external hd [01:42] yep but for 70pounds for 1.5tb i think thats okay [01:42] sam\: not bad [01:42] Whenever i resume from suspend, i get a read-only filesystem. Hibernate ceases to function, and i think it may be related... [01:42] Anyone have any idea how to get the mic working in 9.04? [01:42] How can I find my screen resolution? [01:42] sam\: i just build my own externals i have one and its only 500gigs.... lol [01:43] g [01:43] this pc im on now has decent specs it wont waste anyway on linux? :D [01:43] sam\: na should be fine [01:43] lol, jimmyjh one of my m8s put 500gb i think in his ps3 its crazy [01:43] Sound is fine.. But no record. The switches seem proper [01:43] when i boot this gparted, i will use xchat on buntu [01:44] is xchat the best irc ? [01:44] sam\ you can create the partitions in the actual live cd installer [01:44] what would u recomend? [01:44] sam\: i dont know about best, i use irc in pidgin [01:44] sam\: gparted is on the live cd. you can resize/move etc your windows (I missed your first chat) partitions to make room for your install (again assuming you're duel booting, I missed the start) If I'm barking up the right tree and not in a completely different forest, use the live CD to resize/move partitions then (my personal preference) google ntldr linux and install grub to the / partition then grab the boot stuff with dd and add it to boot.ini. [01:44] i have my R: drive 10gb i can use that? [01:45] ok, figured that out, but at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution there is no option for 1280x800 [01:45] Jason2gs: sounds fun. those hdds are a /little/ aged i guess? also, did that happen with the windows hdd or the DVR one? [01:45] sam\: sure, but if your installing games and such you may need more but 10 isnt bad to test with [01:45] Can I boot the live_cd, then install ubuntu to a USB drive, then move that drive inside the machine and boot it? Is it more tricky than that? [01:45] is there a planned date for the next release of Ubuntu ? Jaunty is not compatible with my laptop and I miss all the compiz effects (present all, etc) [01:45] ns identify irc [01:45] mibbsy, when I run fdisk -l with one of the IDEs plugged in, fdisk freezes after giving me the output of my main 250Gig SATA. === diego is now known as Guest2149 [01:46] well it will only be one game at a time [01:46] mibbsy, Mmh, yes. They're pretty old :p [01:46] maybe i can push it to 25 or something :p [01:46] <3 compiz ;) [01:46] mibbsy, happened with the Windows HDD. [01:46] but i dont want to mess with my other drives really [01:46] gonna boot now lol o.o [01:46] who jonathaN [01:46] When I click on the network manager then my VPN, often I don't see errors show up. Any idea why? [01:47] Sometimes it says "connection failed" other times, I don't see it. So, I think it worked, only it didn't. [01:48] anybody bought an nvidia-based mobo recently?? [01:48] * grndslm wonders if an nvidia mobo could be better than an intel-based mobo... [01:48] Jason2gs: sounds a lot like hardware trouble. did you try the usual suspects (correct s/m jumpering, positions on cable, swapping cables), and connecting just one at a time? [01:48] same [01:49] Hi please i need some help, i've moved an external partition ,made it my home after reinstalling / partition, but now, i have no permissions on the home partition === sam\laptop is now known as sam\ [01:49] but the intel ones give you the processer gnrdslm [01:49] give me the processor? [01:49] sebsebseb, are you here? [01:49] aly: yeah [01:49] intel mini-itx come with processer, nvidia does not [01:50] err... [01:50] i have no mini-itx... but i have a micro-atx [01:50] ALL mini-itx intel boards come with a processor?!? [01:50] that seems odd [01:50] *shrugs* little falls/2 ? [01:50] grndslm: most are soldered onto the boards [01:50] ahh [01:50] sebsebseb, sorry to bother you again, you know, earlier, you told me how to make old home my actual home (i dont know if i made myself clear =x), but now that i made it, i have no permission on it [01:51] grndslm: some even have th ram that way also [01:51] well, i guess that's like laptops [01:51] ver irc.rizon.net [01:51] aly, possibly you have a different username now? chown -R username:groupname /home/username [01:51] not all laptops, you can change processers in some, but its annoying [01:51] soo... i'm in need of a new micro-atx board.... should i get a nvidia-based mobo or an intel-based one?? [01:51] sebsebseb, it tells me that user 1002 (probably my old session, before reinstalling) is the owner of the files, and even as root, chmod doesn't do anything =x [01:51] what ever is easier and suits your needs grn [01:52] Dream-Ubu: what suits my needs is whether nvidia or intel chipsets are more compatible with recent versions of ubuntu [01:52] aly: you tried to make sepereate home after install? [01:52] mibbsy, yup :( By Hardware problem you mean the drives are dead? [01:52] intel released drivers, but they don't open the firmware... so i've had problems with intel [01:52] * grndslm wonders if the nvidia boards might be better nowadays... [01:52] mibbsy, THANk YOU ! ='D [01:52] sebsebseb, yeah, i followed your link [01:53] sebsebseb, mibbsy THANK YOU ='D this thing made me crazy [01:53] aly: well not really my link it's the bot link, and luckily mibbsy seems to know what to do here, because I haven't even made a seperate home after all, I think I tried once, and didn't get that far [01:53] grndslm: well, im buying a little falls 2 and just having ubuntu for a media centre and storage slave [01:53] sebsebseb, mibbsy , an other problem solved, thank you again ! [01:53] does anybody knows if the next release of ubuntu will be compatible with mobilty radeon series because jaunty wasn't [01:53] hi guys, how can i see the desktop of another ubuntu desktop machine over the internet? [01:54] aly: after install above, I haven't made one after install [01:54] not the ssh way but like a desktop sharing program [01:54] krishmish: search vlc in the repos [01:54] sebsebseb, mibbsy it doesn't matter, i'm grateful, just for you to pay attention to my issues (even if there is more to come =p) [01:54] vnc? u man? [01:54] u mean? [01:54] Jason2gs: if it's neither of the above, that just leaves your controller. tried the drives in a different machine, or usb-ide bridge? [01:54] vnc* : p [01:54] Xristos: VNC u mean? [01:54] !vnc | krishmish [01:54] krishmish: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [01:55] Xristos: can u help me make it work? [01:55] I'll be back, see you later people =D and thanks gain [01:55] again* [01:55] Intel board: G45 + ICH10 + GMA X4500HD ---OR--- Nvidia board: GeForce 9300 + nForce 730i + GeForce 9300 [01:55] how can I restart the ssh server? [01:55] Xristos: im able to use it on a local network [01:55] Xristos: between windows and another ubuntu machine [01:56] krishmish: Sure [01:56] grndslm: processer on the nvidia, and the graphic power? [01:56] mibbsy, haven't and haven't. I'll try and get a computer working to try them on. [01:56] krishmish: on the same subnet? [01:56] yeah [01:56] Dream-Ubu: processor is irrelevant [01:56] mobo is all that matters for linux compatibility [01:56] i'm surprised nobody here can tell me whether nvidia- or intel-based boards would be better... [01:57] sudo apt-get install vnc will do???to install the necessary packages?? [01:57] grndslm: GPU... and, what should it matter about the board anything in my thinking will run ubuntu if the graphics can handle it, ive had a 533 run ubuntu [01:57] Dream-Ubu: no... [01:57] and that had no additional help [01:57] Flannel, thanks :) installing worked just fine now, can i PM you ? [01:58] i've had intel boards that have "open drivers" yet they cannot do video right [01:58] krishmish: tightvncserver [01:58] Dream-Ubu: everything comes down to the North bridge, South bridge, & onboard graphics [01:58] mostly the first 2 [01:58] what do you mean by cannot do it right [01:58] sudo apt-get install tightvncserver???? [01:58] actually, mostly by first one [01:58] krishmish: uhmmm not quite [01:58] stealth-: something along the lines of /etc/init.d/sshd restart [01:58] krishmish: or for a local (fast network) vnc4server [01:58] hi. somehow whenever i click on .deb files they open up like a zip file instead of going into the installation process. any thoughts how to fix this? [01:59] krishmish: you might find that xvnc4viewer works better [01:59] Xristos: or can i see this?? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [01:59] krishmish: and if using VNC on the Internet, you should tunnel it over SSH, the link the bot gave [01:59] Xristos: okay [02:00] Intel board: G45 + ICH10 + GMA X4500HD ---OR--- Nvidia board: GeForce 9300 + nForce 730i + GeForce 9300.... which one?? [02:00] Xristos: but im not too gud at ubuntu...im a nube [02:00] Intel board: G45 + ICH10 + GMA X4500HD ---OR--- Nvidia board: GeForce 9300 + nForce 730i + GeForce 9300.... which one?? [02:00] hi guys [02:00] can u suggest me something simpler? [02:00] if you had problems with the intel, try the nvidia :/ [02:00] how do i extract the font files from android-font package on ubuntu? [02:00] Xristos: can u suggest me something simpler? [02:00] how do i activate the 5.1 sound system in ubuntu i have sound blaster audigy 2 ZS ??? [02:00] I only want those fonts available to a certain user [02:00] Dream-Ubu: i'm not playing guessing games here [02:00] marcobed: right click > properties > open with choose gdebi package installer [02:00] so i want to copy to ~/.fonts [02:00] I keep getting unable to mount location failed to retrieve share list from server when i try to connect to get files from a windows share [02:01] marcobed, right click on the deb then properties and then open [02:01] grndslm: you said you had tried the intel so its process of elimination and now, i shut up :) back to finding wifi drivers [02:01] Xristos: xvnc4viewer u said... [02:01] basically, what's a program to 'extract' deb contents? [02:01] Hi, May you have any suggestion where I should find an alternative to CruiseControl ? [02:01] Dream-Ubu: i tried A intel board... the North bridge is much older on this board that i have than the newer ones that i'd expect to work even less so [02:01] krishmish: search "vnc" in synaptic and install any vnc server you like. I prefer tightvnc (bandwidth wise) [02:02] ...but you never know with linux [02:02] krishmish: server the computer being remote connected to, viewer the computer connecting to the server and viewing the computer [02:02] Xristos: ok [02:02] How do I uninstall America's Army? I know the file location [02:02] grndslm: so, go with the nvidia? [02:02] krishmish: need a viewer to see the other computer, which is the server [02:03] Dream-Ubu: that's still a guess [02:03] that i'm not willing to risk on a $100+ mobo [02:03] another machine over the internet [02:03] i NEED compatibility [02:03] how can I put myself in the admin group? [02:04] grndslm: returns policy? i dont know i had ubuntu working on the intel little falls 2, it was fine untill user error came in [02:04] how do i activate the 5.1 sound system in ubuntu i have sound blaster audigy 2 ZS ??? anyone? [02:04] Xristos: im doing that [02:04] !sudo | stealth- [02:04] stealth-: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [02:04] I keep getting unable to mount location failed to retrieve share list from server when i try to connect to get files from a windows share [02:05] hi [02:05] can i use squid with only one ethernet and using transparent proxy?

[02:05] How do I uninstall America's Army? I know the file location [02:05] Dethroned: It's in /opt right? [02:05] i only get sound and no video [02:05] flannel: it saved in usr/local/games/armyops [02:05] hi [02:06] kditty: have you got the codecs installed? [02:06] stealth-: you should be able to do so with the user you made during install [02:06] kditty: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras should take care of that and other propritary stuff [02:06] kditty: and which player were you trying to play them in? [02:07] mibbsy: yes, but I want to add another user to the admin group through the command line...... [02:07] mibbsy: Im pretty sure my question is pretty straight forward [02:07] grndslm: i geussed, it worked and it was fast at loading also the only thing i got wrong was the ram card, read speed was too fast but i fixed it [02:09] Flannel: It saved in usr/local/games/armyops [02:09] Dethroned: How was it installed? (not a deb, right? but a bin file?) [02:10] sebsebseb, ill try that line in terminal but i believe i have it. maybe a reboot after install? [02:10] Hi. If I want to convert my existing NTFS partitions to ext3/4 is there any other solution apart from copying all the data in my NTFS, deleting the partition, and remounting it? [02:10] hello. how do i get mprime? could i do sudo apt-get install mprime? [02:10] kditty: no this is Linux not Windows, you only need to reboot for major stuff, such as say a new kernel [02:10] sebsebseb, also i am trying vlc, xine, gxine. mplayer pretty much all of them [02:10] kunal: try it? :) When I search for mprime via aptitude I don't get a result, so not sure [02:10] kditty: if mplayer can't do it hum [02:10] how do I configure Xnest / Xephyr so that it allows connections from other hosts? xhost +ipaddress didn't work [02:10] flannel: I believe it was a deb [02:11] bartek: same here. so i guess manually? [02:11] kditty: Banshee is another, I guess it's better as a music player really though [02:11] stealth-: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers [02:11] kunal: well, depends [02:11] sebsebseb, it came to this when i ran that line: E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extra [02:11] kditty: s at the end [02:11] kditty: extras [02:11] Dethroned: well, the fact its in /local/ makes me think it wasn't, but we'll go ahead and check to make sure. Fire up synaptic, and search for an americas army package. [02:12] kunal: quickly googling looks like you just download it. I don't see it in any general repos [02:12] ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version [02:12] kditty: humm [02:12] this is strange [02:12] Is there any way through software to make my notebook speakers sound better? They're obviously inherently tinny, so is there a way to equalize the sound systemwide so that it's not so obvious that they suck? I know I won't get more bass, but it sounds bad since there should be bass and there isn't [02:12] kditty: maybe midibuntu is of some use in your case, but I thought could just play divx and xvid without needing midibuntu [02:13] !midibuntu | kditty [02:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about midibuntu [02:13] spelling humm [02:13] bartek: ok. [02:13] bartek: thanks [02:13] Dethroned: Ah, AA apparently includes an uninstall script. So, poke around the AA folders in /usr/local/* (probably lib?) and look for 'uninstall' [02:13] ah, mibbit hates me tonight - anyway stealth- , i figured you're not trying to set up a multiuser system. so why the second sudoer? [02:14] !medibuntu | kditty [02:14] kditty, please see my private message [02:14] !medibuntu | kditty [02:14] kditty: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:14] stealth-: Trying to add yourself to admin on my server? lol [02:14] mikepark: Ill sshing into a friends computer to fix stuff, but I dont want to reset the root password, he wants to still be in control of the system and able to kick me out if he wants.

[02:14] Dethroned: Assuming you're in the same folder as it: sudo ./uninstall [02:14] jumbers: lol [02:14] stealth-: ;) [02:14] thans sebsebseb ill check this out brb [02:15] thanks* [02:15] kditty: if that's no good, your issue is something else entirely it seems [02:15] flannel: It said command not found [02:15] Dethroned: What's it called in the current directory? [02:15] jaunty jackalope is taking up 100% of my cpu but I can't find the culprit in system monitor, any ideas? [02:16] flannel: but then again i have the file up in the browser...not the terminal [02:16] Dethroned: Ah. Ok. What folder is it in, and what's the file called? [02:16] flannel: the file itself is called uninstall and it's in usr/local/games/armyops [02:16] mibbsy: Ill sshing into a friends computer to fix stuff, but I dont want to reset the root password, he wants to still be in control of the system and able to kick me out if he wants. [02:18] Did anybody have any idea about the equalizer? [02:18] Dethroned: alright, in a terminal: sudo /usr/local/games/armyops/uninstall [02:19] flannel: could not find suitable uninstall program ABORTING! AHH! [02:19] hi, does anyone have any experience installing lirc on jaunty? [02:21] stealth-: can your friend add you to the admin group? System > Administration > Users and Groups [02:21] How do I restart pulse audio? [02:22] cantfind the info im after :( [02:22] Dethroned: hmm, alright, apparently it might work if we open a root terminal (but I'm not holding my breath), so lets try this: sudo -i, then cd /usr/local/games/armyops, then ./uninstall [02:22] scowering the forums and nothing [02:22] i want to know the reason that the load of my pc always go high when i open a web browser,i tried firefox,opera and epiphany....my processor is 2.4 cahse 128,512 ram,128 ati card...so what is the problem? why the system is too heavy.... [02:22] netgear w511v2 drivers [02:23] mikepark: well he added me to it, but yeah I got him to do it graphically. I just wanted to avoid that cause I hate having to talk people through GUI stuff over the phone :S [02:23] I backed up some files in windows to a USB drive, installed ubuntu, but now I can't view/copy/move any saved files from the USB drive (permission denied) even with root. Any ideas? [02:23] Flannel: Wow...Thanks so much for your help! I think I'm beginning to understand linux...sort of [02:23] Dethroned: Did that actually work? [02:23] mikepark: he was adding me, so I could troubleshoot his machine. Like I said though, we got it all figured out :) thanks, though [02:23] i've specifed another directory as my home dir and now at each boot ubuntu warns me that directory doesn't exists and I have to mount it manually. where should I specify that /dev/sda2 is mounted to /media/disk? [02:24] Flannel: yeah...went off without a hitch...and really fast [02:24] Dethroned: Alright. That just means the uninstaller is *creative*. Alright, once its done, type 'exit' to get back to a regular (your user) terminal (or just close the whole thing, if you already did) [02:25] Flannel: I did that. Thanks again for your help. [02:25] Dethroned: No problem [02:25] Flannel: Do you recommend any method for teaching myself that kind of stuff? I pretty much only know windows commands [02:25] !terminal | Dethroned [02:26] Dethroned: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:27] Dethroned: It's just all about familiarity. Don't worry if it doesn't stick.

Help? [02:27] I just installed ubuntu 9.04 and it's running pretty slow with cpu usage at 100% most of the time, any ideas? [02:27] pfui, did you install graphics drivers? [02:28] pfui: run the command 'top' to get a general idea of whats taking so much CPU [02:28] I'm running an old radeon 7500, I don't need the new binary drivers afaik [02:28] stealth-, that's the problem, there's no obvious culprit [02:28] I'm running nothing beside xchat & firefox [02:29] and cpu usage appears to be high all the time, irrespective of what apps I'm running [02:29] pfui: well it might not be a GUI program. Something might have messed up, or maybe updatedb is running all the time. Your cpu throttling might also not be working properly [02:29] what's normal usage btw? on windows I get ~20% [02:30] either way top is going to show whats consuming the cpu, so what is it? xorg? [02:30] pfui: I average about 5% [02:30] xorg [02:30] pfui: Im at 10% with a music player and firefox on a pentium 4 [02:30] pfui: xorg would be a gui application, then [02:30] can ati make sure of the "Events" option? [02:30] sure=use... [02:30] stealth-, can I tell which one? [02:31] Hi. I'm trying to chainload into F11 from my ubuntu grub install. Fedora 11 is on sdb, or (hd1). I have the commands "rootnoverify (hd1,0)" "makeactive" and "chainloader +1" and I'm getting error 13. Any ideas? [02:31] pfui: afaik, xorg is the general handler of GUI programs, I dont think there is a way to get specific [02:31] anyone running jaunty jackalope on a older thinkpad t41? [02:31] i lessened xorg cpu usuage, but this is on nvidia, putting Option "UseEvents" "on" in the device section of xorg.conf [02:31] so I'm stuck? [02:31] pfui: are you using compiz?

[02:32] lstarnes, nope [02:32] pfui: Im out of ideas, im sure there are other ways to find out, though. [02:32] Joeseph: what video card does your thinkpad use? [02:32] Joeseph: chainland hummm I thought that was more of a when booting with Windows thing, than when booting with other distros [02:32] Hey everyone [02:32] stealth-, ok, thanks for your time [02:33] pfui: np [02:33] yo! [02:33] :) [02:33] sebsebseb: I want each of their grubs to be independent. So I don't have to manually edit them each time a new kernel update and stuff. [02:33] !hi | stamat and gsr1986 [02:33] stamat and gsr1986: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:33] Joeseph: sounds like a good idea, but I don't know about that [02:33] pfui, what vid driver are you using again? [02:33] thy! [02:33] nk: Radeon Mobility M6 LY [02:33] how are you people [02:33] :D [02:33] &/jo\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [02:33] venger, open source ati [02:33] !ot | stamat [02:33] stamat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:33] hmm, i have a radeon 9000 [02:34] ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 02) [02:34] Xbox 360 and Intrepid? [02:34] are you guys using the xorg driver or fglrx? [02:34] PWilder: what about it? [02:35] I'm using the ubuntu livecd to resize some of my partitions using gparted. However, 2 of them are locked. sda1-sda3 are regular partitions, and sda4 is extended to sda5 (fat32) and sda6 (linux-swap). sda4 and sda6 are showing locked, but they don't seem to be mounted. What else could cause this? [02:35] sebsebseb: Fedora 11 boots fine if I just plug it in as master... Chainloading should just open up another bootloader, right? [02:35] Well, with windows I was able to use My lappy to connect it to XBOX live [02:35] Is that possible with Intrepid? [02:35] stealth-: bit late, but usermod -G admin -a username [02:35] yippih, i finally got my ubuntu running on my SSD... but now my SWAP partitions isnt used anymore.. how can i set my swap partition manually? [02:35] Joeseph: as I said I don't really know that much about Grub, also probably a better solution than dual booting two or more distros, would be to virtual machine the others, with enough RAM [02:35] nk: I'm using the default drivers (whichever ones those are).... I don't have effects on, cause I can't watch DVDs with effects on. [02:35] mibbsy: lol. No, not late at all, it was driving me crazy. thanks [02:36] Joeseph: you can install as many distros as you want, you dont even need to chainload the bootloaders [02:36] pfui, why don't you give the binary driver a whirl as a basis for comparison? [02:36] sebsebseb: I've got about a gig. I guess that's enough. 512 megs for each should be enough. [02:36] Joeseph: dual boot, triple boot < virtual machines [02:36] why is my volume control backwards [02:36] mousewheel up turns the volume down... [02:37] Joeseph: in the last distro you put the bootloader in MBR , and most distros anyway now pickup the other OS you have installed and add the correct entries on the main grub ;) [02:37] venger, I'm have an old radeon 7000 that's not supported by the new drivers [02:37] Joeseph: 512MB RAM and the VM might be a bit slow, 1GB it will be fien [02:37] cadu: It's my understanding that I will have to update the grub manually whenever I get kernel updates, etc. Is this true? [02:37] Joeseph: yeah === pepito_ is now known as metal1369 [02:37] Joeseph: mine is automatically updated [02:37] sebsebseb: I have 1 gig total. that leaves 512 for each os. [02:37] Joeseph: upgrading menu.lst manually, because of new kernels isn't that bad, been there done that, a few times [02:37] http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=15764107 help me pick. amd or intel? [02:38] lstarnes: Which two oses do you have? [02:38] is there a command that tells me what is filling my HDD? Disk usage analyzer is not working right [02:38] Joeseph: not quite, ,because of the way for example Virtualbox does the virtual RAM [02:38] Joeseph: the thing is [02:38] sebsebseb: okay. === aaditya is now known as dragon_ [02:38] Joeseph: never mind, I've misread the whole situation [02:38] No ones knows if this is possible? [02:38] !botabuse > ubottu [02:38] dragon_, please see my private message [02:38] Joeseph: by default it puts 300 something for a VM, you'll see or know what I mean if you try [02:38] Joeseph: I thought you were talking about something else [02:38] lstarnes: oh. [02:38] saxofoner, how much money are you willing to blow? [02:39] help please! i install virtualbox-2.2_2.2.4-47978_Ubuntu_jaunty_amd64.deb and then i cant found it on applications .....! how can i open it thanx [02:39] wolf23: what about under applications > system tools? [02:39] sebsebseb: Well, I'm trying to do this on the machine I try to leave up-to-date and productive. I wouldn't have a problem doing that on my spare machine, but I always like to have my productive machine working. [02:39] cabrey: if you take out either the AMD or Intel CPU/mobo combination, it's about 650 total. so they're close. [02:40] Joeseph: each linux distro's /boot/grub/menu.lst won't know of each other [02:40] Joeseph: well dual triple or whatever, bootting, more than one distro, seems pointless to me, if the computer has enough RAM to VM the others [02:40] wolf23, give gnome a chance, it will update the menus. and when it does, Applications > System Tools > Sun VirtualBox [02:40] wolf23, in the mean time, VirtualBox in a terminal will do [02:40] sebsebseb: maybe he's choosing the best distro for him [02:40] pfui, you want my old 9800xt or x1900xtx? [02:40] cadu: well you put the one you think is best for your usage, as host or whatever, and vm others :) [02:40] saxofoner, you'll get a better value with the AMD system, quad cores > dual cores [02:40] true but if I put in the Q8400 they'd cost the same [02:41] Chaorain: open a terminal and run 'du -x | sort -rn > du.out' then postbin the du.out [02:41] venger, how nice of you, do ship internationally? [02:41] lstarnes, i cant see system tools :( [02:41] cabrey, Error stating file '/home/hendaus/virtualbox': No such file or directory [02:41] saxofoner, DON'T BUY ATI!! [02:41] pfui: from what i remember, there's an era of "unlucky, because noone has it" era of ati cards. for the really old ones that have been in onboard chips a lot, there are still people hacking away on drivers from scratch. yours might be one of the not-so-well-supported ones. check out the wiki at x.org [02:41] cabrey: why? [02:41] wolf23, linux is case sensitive [02:41] saxofoner, because of the recent stunt ATI pulled [02:41] cabrey: what stunt? [02:41] cabrey: what exactly? [02:42] FUCK YOU ALL! [02:42] sebsebseb, cadu: Well... Do either of you know of a good way to keep both my machines up to date and productive? (eg., I don't have to edit menu.lst a lot?) [02:42] mibbsy, it used to work pretty fine on LTS [02:42] saxofoner, they dropped support for 2/3 year old cards, rendering them useless in jaunty [02:42] saxofoner, besides the open source driver [02:42] so I should get the more expensive Gtx 275? [02:42] cabrey: I'm using nvidia for graphics with AMD processors [02:42] Joeseph: well [02:42] I might just run windows on this desktop and linux on my laptop [02:43] cadu and Joeseph I might get rid of Ubuntu 9.04 and put Fedora 11 on as host :) not sure yet, should vm Fedora 11 first really inside Ubuntu. and if I do this i'll probably end up putting Ubuntu 9.10 on as host, and then VM Fedora [02:43] saxofoner, depends on what you're doing, but the 98xx series is good [02:43] nobody knows how i can activate a swap partition for my ubuntu? [02:43] does the ubiquity installer partitioner ever cause porblems when resizing vista c: [02:43] Joeseph: once you have your setup working, with that i mean all your hardware supported on the current kernel, little reason to ever touch that ;) [02:43] pw-toxic, sudo swapon [02:43] cabrey, so what can i do to fix it? [02:43] Joeseph: if more than one distro on the same computer, well you can share the home between them [02:43] Joeseph: it's a thing you'll have to do like, once in 6 months, if you feel like upgrading a kernel [02:43] wolf23, linux is case sensitive, run VirtualBox [02:43] pfui: looks like cabrey might know something more [02:44] so cabrey, the 4890 doesn't work with jaunty? I read it will work with karmic [02:44] sebsebseb: I was warned against home sharing of the distro... Something about uids and permissions and differences in them. [02:44] i converted my wife from win to ubuntu, and now i have to un-DRM her itunes-purchased files. can someone give me the quick lowdown on QTFairUse6 or similar on Ubuntu (like is there a deb for it, etc.) [02:44] sebsebseb: I'd like to know what advantage there is to running fedora 11 over Ubuntu? [02:44] losher, sert: writ failed: standard output: No space left on drive [02:44] pfui, your card (radeon 7000, correct?) was dropped a LONG time ago [02:44] cabrey, yup [02:44] hello all [02:45] losher: oh loads of stuff it seems, according to there feature list, but this is off topic here [02:45] I have a quick question [02:45] cabrey, dropped? as in, no longer supported? [02:45] cabrey, yes it opens now thanx :) [02:45] losher: also apparnatly quite a few of those fatures will be in Ubuntu 9.10 anyway [02:45] jamiejackson: I believe apple recommends burning them to CDs, then ripping them off CDs [02:45] losher: you can't ask that question here. it makes no sense. [02:45] you'd get a different answer on the fedora channel [02:45] Hmm. I seem to have two partitions with Jaunty installed, but that doesn't make much sense to me. Both on the same driver, one has the `boot` flag and is mounted to / .. the other is mounted on /media/disk-1 .. something tells me this one isn't used, is there any way to verify before I kill the partition? [02:46] sebsebseb: Ha! I got it! Find the line from the current menu.lst of the Fedora partition, add it at the bottom of the ubuntu one, so my ubuntu one is still always up to date, and it still updates my menu.lst of my fedora partition, so I only have to copy and paste when it upgrades. [02:46] cabrey, but why it cant creat system tools??? [02:46] sebsebseb: Ah. I remember now. Fedora seems to pride itself at new features. You pay a price for that, of course... [02:46] * bartek thinks its his super old debian install but not sure [02:46] losher: a price what? and yes Fedora is more cutting edge than Ubuntu, also a little remember about off topic [02:46] my laptop mini pci-e card (broadcom 43xx) wireless b/g card is failing. It randomly picks works an cuts out on all three of my OSs on my laptops tripple boot. [02:46] Chaorain: that's because there's no space left. Do you have any space on any other filesystems handy? [02:46] I plan on getting a different card what would be a better replacement as the broadcom support was a joke [02:47] http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=15764107 updated with quad core intel. So any non fanboys have input? [02:47] pfui, yes, it's quite old. ati dropped support for relatively new cards with the release of fglrx 9.4 & 9.5 [02:47] losher, yes. lots [02:47] Joeseph: anyway [02:47] cabrey, yes, but it's still supported by the open-source drivers, no? [02:47] i have opened gparted and i can see two seperated "unallocated" spaces.. how can i combine them so i can create one partition out of both unallocated spaces? [02:47] onethekjrekjfads: atheros chipsets are generally good [02:47] <|Ryan> Need help - My 'Add/remove' option has gone from the Application menu, how can I get it back? [02:47] sebsebseb: ok, we're off-topic. But in general, new features & stability are inversely proportional. [02:47] Joeseph: if you install UBUNTU later, it'll most surely detect it and add it in the first time automagically to its grub ;) [02:47] Joeseph: in the first time ;P [02:47] pfui, it should be [02:48] mibbsy thanks [02:48] losher: some want stability big time, others want the latest stuff big time [02:48] cadu: Did you see the solution I said to sebsebseb earlier? I think it'll work great. [02:48] cabrey, could that be the cause of my high cpu usage? [02:48] Joeseph: OR, you can chainload all distros bootloaders and install the last one in the MBR [02:48] Chaorain: open a terminal and run 'du -x | sort -rn > /other/filesystem/with/lots/of/space/du.out' then postbin the du.out [02:48] pfui, what? fill me in [02:48] <|Ryan> Need help - My 'Add/remove' option has gone from the Application menu, how can I get it back? [02:48] Anyone know which Repo I need to get Fuppes? [02:48] !Fuppes [02:48] hello, does anyone know if theres software that can read (text to speech) scanned pages? [02:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about Fuppes [02:49] !info fuppes [02:49] Package fuppes does not exist in jaunty [02:49] Flannel: yeah, apple's recommendation kinda blows tho, as far as efficiency. are there any bulk options for un-DRM-ing itunes? [02:49] sebsebseb: ok, just wondered if I was missing something more profound. I'm a stability fan myself... [02:49] !FUPPES [02:49] Joeseph: add the line of the fedora in the ubuntu menu.lst? it'll work fine [02:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about FUPPES [02:49] cabrey, my cpu usage is pretty, high most of the time it's close to 100% with Xorg responsible for most of it [02:49] losher: Ubuntu 9.04 is missing loads of stuff compared to Fedora 11, find their feature list and see for yourself, but as I already said apparnatly Ubuntu 9.10 will have quite a few of those features [02:49] Joeseph: but if you update the fedora kernel and select "dont update grub" (assuming it ALLOWS you to do that) the kernel will be different from the version in ubuntu's menu.lt [02:49] Joeseph: it won't boot the next time you update it [02:50] is there an atheros in particular are the atheros n cards anygood because my linksys n card has really weak range (weaker than my broadcom wireless g) [02:50] jamiejackson: Not in Linux (although maybe in wine). Just because all of those de-DRM tools basically use itunes to do the decoding (or a library, or something like that). And there is no itunes for Linux. You'll just have to remove it before the switch. [02:50] FUPPES! [02:50] jamiejackson: Or at least, that was accurate a year ago. Things may have changed, I haven't kept up. [02:50] There has to be someone who knows about it [02:50] sebsebseb: I don't even run 9.04. I'm on 8.04.2. I guess Fedora isn't for me... [02:50] cadu: When it updates, it'll probably update it's own menu.lst, allowing me to copy and paste the new line at the bottom of my menu.lst [02:50] pfui, did you see this by chance? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HighCPU [02:51] Joeseph: yeah, but you'll have to do it manually ;) [02:51] losher: well it dosan't sound like it, since your running 8.04.2 [02:51] Is the Desktop User Guide http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/ available as a .pdf file, so that I can grep it as a whole? [02:51] Joeseph: do you wanna know the automatic way? [02:51] ugh, nope [02:51] Joeseph: no menu.lst editing whatsoever [02:51] cabrey, I'll check it out, ty [02:51] Chaorain: did my new command make sense? [02:51] cadu: Sure. I'll take a listen. [02:51] RobotCow: festival does text-to-speech [02:51] Flannel: i've got a windows VM i can monkey with. do the tools still work with itunes these days? it's hard to find direct current info [02:51] sebsebseb: that's fine. It's not like you said 'oh, it's another world over there. Got to be seen to be believed' :-) [02:51] onethekjrekjfads: generally yes. you might need to install a 3rd antenna for MIMO though if you get a N card [02:51] jamiejackson: That's my understanding. [02:51] pfui, and no, the radeon driver should not be causing 100% usage, it should be doing the opposite [02:52] Joeseph: install linux-distro1, bootloader on the PARTITION, install linux-distro2, bootloader on the PARTITION, install last-distro, BOOT on MBR [02:52] Joeseph: then [02:52] is this a good replacement for my 43xx http://tinyurl.com/atherosgcard [02:52] losher, paste-it.net/public/zb235ff/ [02:52] okay, i guess torrents are the way to go for that stuff, Flannel. i'll give it a go [02:52] Joeseph: you add the 2 linuxdistros entries in the last-distro menu.lst as "chainloader +1" [02:52] mikepark, but when something is scanned in a scanner, its not in text format [02:52] Joeseph: and do that outside of the "==automagic kernel list==" so it wont get erased [02:53] Joeseph: result: you update your kernels using the normal distro way in any distro, they update their own grubs [02:53] onethekjrekjfads: What 43xx card do you have? [02:53] Joeseph: if you update your last-distro kernel, it'll update but the OTHER DISTROS entries wont vanish... [02:53] Joeseph: no menu.lst editing [02:53] i belive 4311 [02:53] its b/g [02:54] saxofoner, just in case you are interested: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_r500_legacy&num=1 [02:54] Anyone know of another UNpN server that will handle Xbox 360? [02:54] Joeseph: and, as a final touch, edit the menu.lst in the "innermost" (chainloaded) grubs and put a delay of like 1sec so you wont't even know it's there [02:54] anyone else have the problem where the mousewheel volume control is backwards? [02:54] Joeseph: if you need someday to alter boot parameters on those just keep tapping ESC and you're set, boot is halted. [02:54] cabrey: thanks [02:54] Joeseph: what do you think? [02:54] losher: Ubuntu is good for new users, and good enough to stay with for many people. Fedora is generally for people who are resasonably experienced with Linux. ArchLinux, Slackware, and Gentoo are for people who are rather experienced with Linux. Find out more about distros at http://www.distrowatch.com This is also a good thing to end the off topic with. [02:54] it randomly stops working in all three systems in my triple boot. (win 7, xp and ubuntu) [02:54] sebsebseb: forgot Debian in the experienced crowd! ;D [02:54] PWilder: When I last looked, fuppes was the only one that had decent transcoding support and xbox 360 support [02:55] sebsebseb: anyway debian is as easy as pie! apt-get rules it all! [02:55] onethekjrekjfads: What kind of notebook is it? (I'm assuming it's a notebook...) [02:55] then just works on reboot without reinstalling or changing any drivers at all. this just began happening recently. [02:55] cadu: Hm.... Well... That would require me to either reinstall grub, or to reinstall the distros... which I don't want to do right now.... My way will work for now. If I ever do it again though, I'll remember that. [02:55] nick125: which repos do I need to get fuppes? [02:55] I cannot find it in Synaptic [02:55] hp tx1417cl [02:55] anyone know an iPod sync plugin for rhythmbox? I'm fed up with banshee [02:55] cadu: Debian is a bit more complex than Ubuntu I suppouse yeah. [02:55] pavilion but it is a tablet [02:55] cadu: still not tried it out properly myself [02:56] i pulled the card it is mini pci-e [02:56] sebsebseb: yes but apt-get makes package installing and problem solving so easy, i don't know what other distros are doing with their crappy package management tools but...apt-get got it right [02:56] onethekjrekjfads: I know that some BIOSes will lock out cards that aren't "approved" [02:56] well boys im a super noob and since playing arund with ubuntu I loved it and installed it but now I tried to install my grf driver and it says I need super user privliges what do I do here? [02:56] sebsebseb: F11 supports my webcam... It's easier to boot it up every once in a while than to install the drivers, install the patch, and then edit some config files of my webcam.... [02:56] Chaorain: ok, from top to bottom in that listing are the biggest things on your disk in K, i.e. ./Flash drive/FEDORA is about 6.4G, next is Desktop at around 4G, then Azureus Downloads at 2.5G and so on. Does this help? [02:56] sebsebseb: the "problem solving" part of apt-get is what makes it strong and not prone to breaking your system, if it's gonna leave strange stuff it aborts before doing anything ;P [02:56] cadu: that KDE 4 something vm I think was running on Debian, the one I ran when trying a development version. Well apparantly ArchLinux has something that is better than apt-get. [02:56] sebsebseb, ;) [02:57] PWilder: All the tutorials for Ubuntu say to compile it...interestingly enough. [02:57] sebsebseb: thanks... [02:57] sebsebseb: what added features? [02:57] cabrey: ah yes it was you who told me that wasn't it? [02:57] losher, yes but my hdd is 60gb and its full [02:57] right, but I don't know where to get it from nick125 [02:57] cadu: you mean with Fedora? [02:57] sebsebseb: pacman or something, right? [02:57] I had no idea. so maybe a direct replacement is best? I do know wireless N plus bluetooth was an option [02:57] sebsebseb, yup, arch installed on my netbook under 2 minutes (mind you, i then had to configure it) [02:57] so i might look for that card should work [02:57] losher, and I can't figure out why [02:57] sebsebseb: nope, the Archlinux package manager, you said it has some features that are better than apt-get and deb [02:57] Joeseph: yes that's what I meant [02:57] !offtopic [02:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:57] RobotCow: i guess you would need to use an OCR tool first to convert to text? [02:58] onethekjrekjfads: If you can find the same card, that'd work. If not, look for a card that was offered OE for that notebook. [02:58] sorry Pici [02:58] Pici: indeed at that, I kill the off topic with one guy, only to have others doing new off topic hum [02:58] i just joined ubuntu-offtopic [02:58] PWilder: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuppes [02:58] Pici: hey sorry but i'm a heavy offtopic'er ;( forgive me ;P [02:58] yeah that's a good idea, guys we can continue the off topic in #ubuntu-offtopic or something [02:58] is there a way to check if my bios will lock out atheros ? [02:58] anyone? [02:59] n8 [02:59] killerX: what was your ? I did not see it [02:59] KillerX, use sudo [02:59] cadu: I don't know about that, ask cabrey in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:59] mikepark, what is an ocr tool? [03:00] caddar, /var/log/gdm/* has "error settings MTRR", could that be it? [03:00] I have a quick question, should be easy to answer [03:00] mikepark, ive got plenty of software that does text to speech. i just need to get the text from it. [03:00] cabrey, /var/log/gdm/* has "error settings MTRR", could that be it? [03:00] onethekjrekjfads: looks like a good deal. i'd do some web research on compatibility (auction says "won't work with HP") [03:00] venger thanks buddy so where do I put this in? I wish there was a crash course on ubentu [03:00] RobotCow: optical character recognition - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR [03:00] onethekjrekjfads: Googling would probably be the best way to find whether it does or not [03:01] Chaorain: well, the listing shows everything using space on that partition. Also do 'df -h' and paste [03:01] I'm trying to play a radio stream from Rhythm Box... I get an error msg... [03:02] pfui, found this post: http://hydtechblog.com/2009/02/26/gnome-display-manager-problems-error-setting-mtrr-in-ubuntu-intrepid-810/ [03:02] is the auto-update from 8 to 9 pretty solid? Won't mess me up? [03:02] mibbsy: I should probably read the auction thanks for your help. [03:03] onethekjrekjfads: might be just because of dimensions of the card though-- yeah and he's gone [03:04] Nautilus: no guarantees. Back up your 8 system before you start.... [03:04] ah, ok, tx [03:04] losher, copy paste just broke [03:04] miniCruzer- did you install ubuntu-extras? [03:04] No. What are those?

Any ideas? [04:22] lstarnes It didn't work [04:22] JusticeZero: you installed the nvidia restricted drivers? [04:23] No, I can't see to. [04:23] lstarnes, http://paste.ubuntu.com/194786/ [04:23] JusticeZero, you should boot into rescue mode get rid of any ati drivers then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [04:23] how do I get rid of the ati drivers, not knowing what they are called and not being able to boot into Gnome? [04:24] JusticeZero, that should at least get you to a gui to install the nvidia drivers [04:24] chaorain_: you may need to make sure that samba isn't trying to share a printer from the machine that's running samba [04:24] Istarnes, how? [04:24] Chaorain: I'm not sure [04:25] I boot into rescue mode, I hve a choice of a shell (and I do not know how to remove the ati drivers without being able to search the list)N or boot as nmal into utter blackness.

[04:27] lstarnes any suggestions? [04:27] JusticeZero, what ati driver did you install if any [04:27] Chaorain: you'll likely need to edit it manually [04:27] I see no choice of say"Boot into Gnome with minimal drivers' or the like, which is what I actually want to do to fix it. [04:27] andrewcool: it may be because of hulu [04:28] I don't recall; the one that came up in 9.04's restricted drivers panel. [04:28] Istarnes, yeah I know. Do you know of any examples? how about yours? [04:28] lstarnes ?..

[05:24] laser28383, yes [05:24] usser: I have tons of unused memory dumped in unallocated and linux-swap [05:24] ok, thanks for the help [05:24] is there a way i can get ventrilo on ubuntu? [05:24] usser: but no actual free space on the HDD, unless unallocated counts. [05:25] Neconide, what do you mean by unallocated? no partitions defined on that space? [05:25] usser: yeah [05:25] usser: but not that much. [05:25] Neconide, you should be able to do it with gparted without needing a livecd. Just add a new partition to the unused space [05:25] usser: when I went to add a new partition gparted said it needed to recreate /dev/sda. [05:25] Polarina: I would search first, then just as you described. Then in the details provide as much info as you can. [05:25] Neconide, cmdline: sudo gparted [05:25] NeoBlaster, or gksudo gparted [05:26] Jeruvy: I don't see a bug about what I mentioned. [05:26] Neconide, hm. can you post a screenshot or something? [05:26] Polarina: you may want to ask in answers first [05:26] Neconide, try doing it with fdisk [05:26] usser: yeah hold on [05:26] Neconide, hard to tell what it wants to do, might for a number of reasons, like number of partitions in primary is exceeded etc [05:27] hi [05:27] could some one tell me if there is support for running svideo cable to the tv [05:27] usser: errrr... that's to create a new partition _table_. there's no option to just create a partition [05:27] running 8.04 I cant connect to samba [05:27] Neconide, post the screenshot [05:27] richj: and how would I do that?

[05:28] NeoBlaster, man fdisk [05:28] usser: Not much to see, just device->create new partition table [05:28] Does anyone know how to enable SQLite3 with PHP5 in Ubuntu when you are using Apache? === ghw is now known as haha [05:28] usser: and under Partition, everything is greyed out because it just has to do with the current selected partition [05:28] NeoBlaster, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html [05:28] fd [05:28] samba is running on my ubuntu but i cant connect with W7 [05:29] Neconide, hm i dont see why it would let you create a partition table if the partitions are already defined [05:29] and when i go to network connections>windows network nothing shows up [05:29] usser: it's for the use of completely recreating the table [05:29] zombie-robot_: win7 doesn't use the same methods...I would not expect it to work [05:30] it worked perfect before [05:30] zombie-robot_: before what? [05:30] Neconide, yea, still can you post the screenshot, i'd like to see where free space is, number of partitions etc [05:30] this happed after i just got a ubuntu update for apache i think [05:30] usser: too lazy [05:30] hehe [05:31] zombie-robot_: I don't see what apache would have to do with samba... [05:31] Neconide, if you partition with fdisk you will find out the problem [05:31] usser: I'm sitting in an unventilated room of cigar smoke, and the lack of oxygen to my brain and lack of sleep is making me too lazy :P [05:31] thats what i was thinking anyway i think the update did something [05:31] Neconide, yea i know the feeling [05:31] im just trying to get my samba network up [05:32] brb [05:32] zombie-robot_: did you look at the samba log? [05:32] does amsn work differently than pidgin ? [05:32] Q: Anyone else using ubuntu 9.04 with ati 9600 or similar? I am upgrading from 8.10 and it just warned me that my current restricted driver will not work in 9.04 [05:32] i tried rebooting and sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [05:32] erty, it will not [05:33] where is the samba log? [05:33] erty, ati dropped support for your card in the newest driver, unfortunately older drivers do not work with jaunty's xorg [05:33] erty: I installed debian lenny on my computer that lost support [05:33] ah crap, what do i do then usser [05:33] will it run at all? [05:34] erty, it will, but it'll use opensource driver which has very limited 3d support, that said compiz should work [05:34] aptitude install python wants to remove 16 packages, but install nothing, should I let it do its thing? [05:34] erty, you can install debian, it still supports it with the older ati driver i bet [05:34] I don't know how to use debian, I know ubuntu better, i know its based on debian... but..... [05:35] :/ [05:35] Thanks for the info user01 and usser [05:36] would you consider ubuntu the best linux distro? [05:36] ys [05:36] yes* I have had tons of trouble with others...

Other than that haven't changed much. Error I get is that SFTP could not be initialised - not very specific. [05:43] will come back to post results [05:43] paulo, what type of computer is this?

[05:54] hi! how come ubuntu doesn't read me ~/.xsession file? :( [05:55] dsdeiz: my guess would be they do not use the startx-session but gnome-session. Yell if I am wrong :) [05:55] Q: How can I get usb headsets to be compatible in linux, almost every one I try does not work... [05:56] dsdeiz: use custom startup [05:56] so if i need to add commands in startup i'll edit /etc/gdm/Xsession ? [05:56] can anyone tell me what I need to do to play video using swfdec?

[05:57] erty: Usb headset do not have a sound processor in them it is done at the driver level [05:57] hey can anyone help me with how to get audio to work on netbook remix 9.04?? [05:57] Sweet thanks [05:57] what laptop you running it on? [05:58] laser28383: me?? [05:58] yes [05:58] well I just installed ubuntu for my first time and I downloaded my video driver and it says I need tobe a super user so I have to use sudo but how do I and where? [05:58] laser28383: asus eeepc 1000h [05:58] i'm running 0'04 netbook on a dell mini 9 and have audio [05:58] *9.04 [05:58] Local desktop install of ubuntu-9.04-server [05:59] I cant seem to sftp in from my windows machine [05:59] the different computers used to show up in the network:/// [05:59] now i have to look in smb:/// [05:59] putty wont connect either [05:59] I do have "It works!" when i visit my local ip [05:59] laser28383: isee. well any advice. oddly enough it works on boot, boot noise, but afterwards, nothing. however, headphone jack works [06:01] well if you go to volume control try enabling all the options and make sure nothing is muted, then check to see if you are using a hardware mixer or not, and see if that is supported [06:01] So, why is windows able to support a usb headset but not linux, I understand that they have no sound processor, but in windows even if you don't have a sound card you can use a headset to get sound. How can I get them to work in ubuntu. [06:01] volume control > preferences > select everything === linux is now known as myself [06:02] anyone? I know its probably a silly question but I just wanted to get my screen set so I could set up the net and read how to use this thing instead of going back and forth [06:04] read how to use this thing instead of going back and forth ? [06:05] is there *any* way in totem to place the subtitles below the video, in the black strip? [06:05] rohan if the subtitles are a separate file then no [06:06] just use vlc, its better and supports basically everything [06:06] ha ha well heres the thing, I cant set u my dsl becuase the screen size is too big, I cant install my video drivers because t says I need to be a super user [06:06] sudo apt-get install vlc [06:06] erty: but even vlc places subtitles overlapping with the video [06:06] are you installing drivers from terminal? [06:06] ahhh i see [06:06] im a noob a big one [06:06] KillerX same here to an extent [06:07] How areyou trying to install them [06:07] Hey everyone, is there a way to burn netbook remix to an dvd? [06:07] lol I just wanted to get in there so I could read up on how to use this OS instead of going into windows reading then going back [06:07] netbooks don't have dvd drives 99% of the time [06:07] erty: and yes, the subtitles are a separate srt file [06:07] hello [06:07] if the netbook remix downloads as an iso you can probably burn it, but the netbook remix will ONLY work on intel atom processors [06:08] erty by double clicking which is probably totally wrong, I forget but I should use a prgogram to open it or sudo command [06:08] I've got ubuntu 9.04 with the nvidia-glx-173 driver and I'm getting really bad horizontal clipping on an external HDTV. Are there some specific settings required to get it to play smoothly, this happens with any media player and movies [06:08] it downloads as an img, and it seems to only work on memory sticks [06:08] KillerX: go to system, administration, hardware drivers [06:08] click one that is recommended and then click activate === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [06:09] skierkyles your going to only be able to use it on intel atomsanyway, and they are mainly in netbooks [06:09] hello [06:09] erty wicked im gonna go try it out right now!

[06:31] lstarnes I leterally just installed it and said wooow I just double clicked it and it said I have to be a super user [06:31] lightbricko: ubottu doesn't have factiods for everything, but it can !find and provide !info on nearly all the packages [06:31] KillerX: is it on your desktop? [06:31] yes [06:31] KillerX: open a terminal. You should be able to find it under applications > accessories > terminal [06:32] lstarnes ok [06:32] Jeruvy: oh, so !info looks for packages, but plain !NameOfSomething is a factoid that has been manually written? [06:32] bitsbam_: vlc will stream...but that isn't quite what you were asking. Something to consider tho [06:32] mkquist: http://pastebin.com/d45d4bc61 [06:32] KillerX: now type this (with the correct case): cd ~/Desktop [06:32] SandGorgon: push 64bit linux where it's the better option, but there are plenty of places where 64 is not necessary/preferable [06:32] KillerX: after that, type this: sudo ./installer.run [06:33] when i change over to ubuntu will my files still be there that were there on vista like my music, document, videos [06:33] lightbricko: essentially. !bot will give you a link to the factiods. [06:33] KillerX: however, if this is for the ATI driver, you should most likely be using the restricted drivers provided by ubuntu [06:33] Jeruvy: ok, thanks [06:33] mkquist: and here is my fdisk -lu http://pastebin.com/d6c458b [06:33] plz someone tell me [06:33] askvictor, i was talking in the context of desktop OS - i dont see why 64-bit is not preferable. [06:33] someone help me find the LPIA 8.04 LPIA [06:33] lightbricko: anytime. [06:33] webbcm1: no [06:34] SandGorgon: why is 64bit preferable? [06:34] webbcm1, backup, backup, backup [06:34] lstarnes hmm what do you mean restricted drivers because I had to install using basic safemode video [06:34] in a desktop context? [06:34] fuck i have like 300 gb of stuff [06:34] hey all [06:34] askvictor: more ram :D [06:34] askvictor, because that is the native word size of a 64-bit processor - like core2duo [06:34] bluejeans: I know, google returns a lot of results, like the link you posted, but i didn't find the solution [06:34] webbcm1: as long as you don't overwrite the vista partition, you can still browse all your files [06:34] KillerX: for me it's in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [06:34] !language > webbcm1 [06:34] webbcm1, please see my private message [06:34] aand how does unbuntu run on laptops and 64 bit systems [06:34] brb, my son just woke up [06:34] mykola: if you need more than 4Gig, sure. if not... [06:35] lstarnes ya when I went to system drivers it didnt have anything [06:35] webbcm1: if you want to run 64bit then you install the AMD64 version of ubuntu [06:35] but i run on intel quad core processor on my hp [06:35] marcvangend: have you tried to reinstall grub? [06:35] askvictor: hey, you asked ^_^ i use 32 bit myself. I tried 64 bit 6 months ago, but some programs wouldn't work so i switched on the 9.04 release [06:36] webbcm1: please address, and yes that means you have the option to run 32bit or 64bit [06:36] webbcm1, i have dell xps laptop and 64bit jaunty works great [06:36] !popey [06:36] popey is the UK alternative to elvis. [06:36] mykola, that's interesting.. which programs [06:36] marcvangend: very simple and i think it might help [06:36] webbcm1: nothing uses quads at this stage [06:36] SandGorgon: the biggest one i had problems with was boxee [06:36] lstarnes: ok im gonna repeat this back, go into terminal type in cd ~/desktop then sudo ./installer.run now does the installer.run have to be the file name i have on my desktop? [06:36] so what ubuntu version would be best for an hp dv5 intel duo core 64 bit 4 gb of ram type latop [06:37] SandGorgon: and wine ran slightly differently, some windows emulation stuff was broken where it wasn't before. [06:37] yeah typo [06:37] KillerX: yes [06:37] KillerX: also, Desktop is capitalized in there [06:37] SandGorgon: don't get me wrong, I used it a solid 6 months. It is possible to get a really nice desktop, but it wasn't for me [06:37] webbcm1: you want AMD64 build if you want to use all 4GB of RAM [06:37] KillerX: it may be sudo sh ./installer.run [06:37] ok [06:37] do you actually need a copy of Windows to run Wine? [06:37] No [06:37] BeatlesFan: no [06:38] SandGorgon: x86-64 has two modes: 64 and 32. in 64bit mode, the native size is 64bits. in 32bit, it's 32bits.. If your using 64 bit words when you don't need them you are wasting RAM. [06:38] so Wine is not like a virtual machine, correct? [06:38] no [06:38] BeatlesFan: ccorrect [06:38] so i shouldnt use ubuntu 9.04 [06:38] then [06:38] if anything it is a "compatibilty layer" [06:38] BeatlesFan: no, it provides a binary interface for windows programs [06:38] webbcm1: why not? [06:38] mkquist: no, I didn't try reinstalling grub, how can I do that? [06:38] marcvangend: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [06:38] lstarnes: ok wicked im gonna go try it out thanks for all your help [06:38] oh that will work [06:39] KillerX: be warned that this method of installing the drivers is not officially supported [06:39] does anyone know if Blackberry Desktop will run correctly in Wine? [06:39] errm... using wine to install drivers is a bad idea >.< [06:39] BeatlesFan: probably not, ask in #winehq and check the appdb [06:39] right [06:39] !appdb > BeatlesFan [06:39] BeatlesFan: look in appdb on winehq [06:39] BeatlesFan, please see my private message [06:39] lstarnes: so what does this mean? [06:39] I had problems with youtube, now I want to install flash player again but in a way that works well [06:39] KillerX: it means that it is not officially supported [06:39] Um something happened to my Ubuntu 9.04 machine. Everything is messed up. So I was thinking that if I backup /home/ that should save whats left right? [06:40] errm... You need more info than that Chaorain [06:40] KillerX: envyng might be a better alternative [06:40] if you back up /home, then you will save all of your personal stuff... right. [06:40] so ubuntu 9.04 is the right build for my laptop [06:40] lstarnes: I think what I need is a good turteol on this he he I just wanted to get my screen size good so I could go on the net and read up [06:40] Chaorain: that would save all your files and most of your settings, yes. Just make sure you also backup the hidden folders in ~ [06:40] askvictor, if u see several benchmarks, 64bit linux actually works better for lots of stuff - especially video (http://www.tuxradar.com/content/ubuntu-904-32-bit-vs-64-bit-benchmarks) [06:40] lstarnes: instead of going back in forth from windows to ubuntu [06:41] Unless what's wrong is a custom file in home, like ~/.fluxbox or ~/.xinitrc or something... need moar info to be sure [06:41] mykola, hmm.. i need to try running wine on 64bit and see [06:41] lstarnes: how Do I envying? I got this file straight from ati website I donno why its not reading [06:41] hello, has anyone seen this error and possibly know how to correct it? [06:41] Failed to run gdebi-btk '--non=interactive' '/media/disk/mirage_0.9-1_arm.deb' as user root. Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. [06:42] SandGorgon: there weren't MANY differences... some problems with steam and a few other apps. It wasn't enough to make me quit 64 bit straight up, but i did swap back on the next release [06:42] how do i open mplayer in 16:9 format from the CLI? [06:42] I need to install flash player in ubuntu 9.04. but in the page it has only for 8.04 [06:42] KillerX: the drivers on the ATI site aren't designed specifically for ubuntu [06:43] mykola, i'm off it for a while.. but i guess i would want WoW to run on wine - but as i have googled , didnt find any issues with 64-bit. did Steam work well on 32 bit ? [06:43] lstarnes: ohhhh I see what you mean now.. Hmm so how would I find the correct drivers? [06:43] <^Phantom^> I need help with Driftnet. It installed without problems, but it won't load when I try to launch it. [06:43] is ubuntu 9.04 a good build for an hp dv 5 [06:44] webbcm1: yes [06:44] mkquist: I reinstalled grub, going to try and reboot now, thanks so far [06:44] SandGorgon: the last time I tried I actually couldn't do much with steam. but i've had problems with it in 32 bit as well... i think it's just my hardware setup [06:44] kool [06:44] SandGorgon: yes, will be faster for some things (video, intense graphics...). But will use more memory for everything. and some things don't work quite right yet. [06:44] marcvangend: g/l [06:44] will it carry over my basic programs like media player office [06:44] stuff like that [06:44] SandGorgon: the main problem i had was with Team Fortress 2 in Wine :) worked in 32 bit and not 64 [06:44] or does that all have to be rebooted [06:44] but tha's about it [06:44] KillerX: I'm not exactly sure what to do then. It's been a while since I've messed with the drivers, and that was with nvidia === desti_T2 is now known as desti [06:44] if you have the space and time [06:44] just try it out [06:45] if you like it.... keep it [06:45] lstarnes: hmmm I see ok so whats the worst that will happen? right now I can do anything anyways because the screen is ginormous lol [06:45] i'm wondering. Can you use a virtual machine to install a 64 bit os guest inside a 32 bit host? just wondering [06:45] hmmmm [06:45] i use steam, the games i installed via dvd didnt work, but, the ones i downloaded and installed via steam itself run perfect. i use a 32bit buntu on a 64 processor, i must admit, it gets along better with wine, in my opinion. [06:46] KillerX: the dricers might not work or you will have problems upgrading to later versions of ubuntu [06:46] *drivers [06:46] it might cause crashes, but that's less likely [06:46] Ambidextrous: do you own Team fortress 2? :) [06:46] mykola: doubt it [06:46] lstarnes: well a quick google search says that 64bit of ubuntu has problems with my video card and they recommend to switch to 32 bit version [06:46] askvictor: yeah... i figured [06:46] Um something happened to my Ubuntu 9.04 machine. Everything is messed up. So I was thinking that if I backup /home/ that should save whats left right? So I can then rebuild from scratch, right? [06:46] why lyx has lots of dependencies .? :D [06:46] how come my samba network doesnt show up in places>networkservers? [06:47] <^Phantom^> I'd like to get this Driftnet application to work. Am I missing some kind of components that are needed to make it work. When I click the program icon on the applications menu, it doesn't do anything. [06:47] Chaorain: basically yes. [06:47] mykola: nah, i only use steam with left for dead, HL2 and Counter strike source, cs:s being the only one of the three i struggle to run well. [06:47] mykola, there arn't any weird places for storage are there? [06:47] hello [06:47] lstarnes: The guy said he used Envy to download the latest drivers, but the thing is is my screen is soo big I cant fill out or see the forms to go on the net [06:47] i have an problem with video playback on jaunty and cannot find any solution via google [06:48] install vlc [06:48] Ambidextrous: hmm... whenever I run TF2, i get horrible framerates... and I have a nice graphics card and plenty of ram... no clue what's going on [06:48] how come my samba network doesnt show up in places>networkservers? [06:48] redorange, this aboute vlc is to me ? [06:48] Chaorain: depends... what do you have? have you installed any other window managers? etc... [06:48] What's the name of the apt stuff that I need to install if I want to do C development/compiling [06:48] <^Phantom^> actually, i've gotta take my friend home real quick, so i'll ask for help when i return. === ^Phantom^ is now known as ^P|Not_Here [06:48] Fragsworth: build-essential [06:48] build-essential? [06:48] m5d-sp3, it might solve [06:49] Fragsworth: individual libraries will have -dev packages [06:49] Ambidextrous: it's an nVidia 9800 gt video card and I've got 4 gigs of ram. processor is an intel core 2 quad [06:49] mykola, mainly I use Firefox, and mythtv (/var/lib/mythtv/ is a seperate partition). [06:49] redorange, but its slow down in ev ery player and in flash also i got gf9300 build in in my htpc mobo asus p5n7a and e8400 p[roc [06:49] askvictor, 4 gb ram is peanuts to buy... the minor increase in RAM usage is hugely offset by the ability to jack up your laptop's performance by throwing 4 gb of RAM at it. for a lot of people getting in the mood to buy a spanking new Win7 or Mac notebook, 60 $ worth of memory and a 64bit ubuntu can turn the tide [06:50] Istarnes: thanks, build-essential is what I needed [06:50] redorange, vlc have an subtitles support ? [06:50] Chaorain: you should be fine. whenever i start over I just save my music, pictures, videos and documents and do a fresh install... backing up all of /home will save your configuration files as well though [06:50] m5d-sp3, yeap [06:50] Chaorain: if you're sure the problem isn't with any programs that are configured from a file in ~/ then you should be fine [06:51] SandGorgon: do you really reckon many people will change to ubuntu purely because they are aware it is 64 bit? [06:51] !vlc [06:51] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [06:51] !vlc | m5d-sp3 [06:51] m5d-sp3: please see above [06:51] redorange, but is any solution to my problem exept resing from smplayer ? i have my home partition from intrepid and i use it with my gent also can this be a problem ? i have no video problems on intrepid and on gentoo also [06:51] mykola, I don't know what happened. everything got all messed up at the same time [06:51] SandGorgon: heh... to be honest, unless you're running ALOT of stuff, you won't notice the difference between 2 gigs and 4 gigs on ubuntu... i know i didn't -_- [06:52] Chaorain: like what? [06:52] askvictor, i threw 4 gb of RAM at my parents 3 year old laptop and my dad gave up the idea of buying a new laptop [06:52] how can I install flash player in ubuntu 9.04 if in the page is only for 8.04? [06:52] m5d-sp3, wait for our other experts :) [06:53] mykola, MythTV is completly dead. all xchat settings poofed same with compiz. And those are just the ones I know about. [06:53] songer: just go to the flash website [06:53] it's 8.04+ [06:53] SandGorgon: my question stands: do you think that a major promotion of ubuntu's (or linux's) 64 bit capabilities will convince many people to change across? [06:53] redorange, the problem is that im expert .. sort of and i check almost everything posible and nothing seems to solve this problem i dont even know what is a problem lol [06:53] is that? [06:53] songer: I'd go to like 'youtube' for example, when it asks for flash, follow the request and install. [06:53] Chaorain: you should be fine backing up /home [06:53] Mykola: one of the things i love steam for is the fact you can add commands to a game startup via steam itself, youll find tweaks all over the place, i only use a 8600gt and it runs anything in the orange box just fine, sometimes with some tweaking, sometimes not, HL2 took some messing around with, but its just great right now. [06:54] yes [06:54] mykola, k thanks [06:54] Ambidextrous: hehe... i like that too. used it on my old box to get it working by forcing a lower directx [06:54] SandGorgon: I have no doubt that 64bit is better in modern computers. But your original thought was about pushing it as a major reason to change. I think it's a minor issue compared to other reasons to change. [06:54] !xserver [06:54] askvictor, yes... already you see engadget and gizmodo awash in orgasmic fervor for snow leopard's 64 bit kernel and how Jobs was the messiah in getting the world to move to 64-bit. How do you answer that? with a push for 64 bit linux that is every bit as good as OSX [06:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver [06:55] osx is based on linux? [06:55] redorange: no [06:55] OSX uses apples darwin [06:55] which is bsd based iirc [06:55] not linux [06:55] askvictor: it's minor if you think so, but not everyone thinks so :) [06:55] !ot ! mykola [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ot ! mykola [06:56] !ot mykola [06:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about ot mykola [06:56] redorange: it's unix-based, but not linux-based [06:56] !ot | mykola [06:56] mykola: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:56] mykola: in that case, im unsure why TF aint running so well for you, one of the commands i used on HL2 was -heapsize 'amount of ram'. im no pro, but from what i understand, it forces an higher amount of ram usage, it did give me a good increase, some messing around with those commands, im sure youll find someting TF gets along with. [06:56] !osx [06:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about osx [06:57] Ambidextrous: hmm... i'll try that [06:57] isnt osx more BSD orientated? [06:57] how to know my sound card is installed or not ???? [06:57] suppose its all unix, tho [06:57] Ambidextrous: aye... but apparently we ain't supposed to talk about it here ;) [06:57] !ot | Ambidextrous [06:57] Ambidextrous: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:58] SandGorgon: mac fanbois aren't going to listen to anything that isn't about mac. Most windows users don't even know what an OS is, let alone that there are 64bit and 32bit OSes. There's a very small portion of users that might know enough about computers but not enough about linux that such a push might sway, but I think there are better avenues to promote ubuntu (64bit or otherwise) [06:58] Jeruvy, knock it off :P [06:58] what's the last version of osx? [06:58] ok... now you can ot him [06:58] ciao [06:58] mykola: I'll knock you off :P [06:58] dang spanish [06:58] Jeruvy: heh. srry, didn't mean to come across as rude ;) [06:58] how can i know if i have AIGLX? [06:59] mykola: get on topic [06:59] are you using a ati card? [06:59] yes i am [06:59] SandGorgon: anyways, we'll have to agree to disagree :) [06:59] Jeruvy: I've been on topic with like 3 people! was just mentioning stuff i know about osx in passing heh. :) [07:00] askvictor, correct :) [07:00] lol, you are standing on mines [07:00] SandGorgon: either that or fistycuffs [07:00] mykola: I'm not asking twice. [07:00] ATI Technologies Inc RV516 XT Radeon X1600 Series [07:00] askvictor, :) [07:00] what's the relationship between ubuntu and osx? [07:00] computer janitor is a nice thing ? or removes needed packages [07:01] natchow: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 XT Radeon X1600 Series, ubuntu version hardy 8.4 [07:01] natchow: it's an abusive one ;) [07:01] natchow, about the only thing in common between them is gnu utilities [07:01] natchow, a lot of the same programs that u use on linux shell/comandline - works on mac [07:01] natchow. there is not really a relationship... the alot of the gnu stuff is the same [07:02] * natchow smelt apple's salesmen [07:02] !janitor [07:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about janitor [07:02] although i dont think osx uses gnu stuff, more likely bsd versions [07:02] !cj [07:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about cj [07:02] !aiglx [07:02] AIGLX is a project that aims to enable GL-accelerated effects on a standard desktop.

For older Nvidia or newer ATI cards see !xgl [07:02] whe the hell is still buy and use a mac except morons? [07:02] !bot | redorange [07:02] redorange: 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 [07:02] hmm... dunno if it's actually gnu or not. but they come pre installed with bash and vi and the like. [07:03] Okay so this one has me stumped. I have firefox 3.0 and the firefox 3.5 beta both installed. Flash works perfectly fine in the 3.5 beta but 3.0 doesn't recognize that I have the plugin installed. Anyone have any idea why? [07:03] tbh, ubuntu's is more useful i think [07:03] erhyl [07:03] plus ubuntus package manager kicks rocks... while mac is non existent [07:03] sinjai [07:03] theyeti, are you on a 64 bit system? [07:03] yea [07:03] erhylanwar@yahoo.co.id [07:03] what application can i use for compile c++ in ubuntu? [07:04] jezi22_: g++ [07:04] gcc :D [07:04] for compiling* [07:04] theyeti, well there's your answer, 3.5 is 32 bit while your 3.0 is 64, how did you install flash plugin? [07:04] the name of application is g++? it is in the repo? [07:04] jezi22_: there are several graphical IDEs that can interface with g++ [07:04] usser: through synaptic. Installed the flashplugin-installer package. [07:04] jezi22_, just install build-essential, sudo apt-get install build-essential [07:05] theyeti, and it works in your 3.5 but not in 3.0? [07:05] jezi22_: build-essential will also install g++, gcc, and some development files needed for basic compiling [07:05] yeah... build essential will give you a compiler and allow you to compile source packages with ./configure make make install [07:05] usser: Yea [07:05] ./configure?? [07:05] theyeti, i suggest you download flash player 10 linux 64 bit, copy it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and make sure u use 64 bit firefox (3.0 or 3.5) [07:05] jezi22: don't worry about that for now ;) [07:05] theyeti have the default plugin folders changed? [07:06] i have already gcc and g++.. [07:06] no they haven't changed [07:06] !compile | jezi22_ [07:06] jezi22_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [07:06] theyeti, hm, i cant think of a way to share the plugin between different version of firefox ie 64 and 32 bit [07:06] so to compile your code, type g++ -(options) the name of your code [07:06] where can i find the source for earliest version of linux, 0.01? [07:06] i already installed build essential [07:06] XD [07:06] a good one is -o so you can give an output file instead of standard ./a.out [07:06] usser: the profile is the same, so its redundant [07:07] theyeti also make sure the plugins are in /home/.mozilla/plugins as well [07:07] usser: I would have thought that the synaptic package would have installed the 64 bit flash plugin and if anything the 3.5 firefox wouldn't recognize that it was installed [07:07] Anyone needs a Demonoid invite ? [07:07] theyeti, the 64 bit plugin is not released yet [07:07] makes sense [07:07] theyeti, they use nspluginwrapper to make 32 bit one work [07:07] usser: yes it it [07:07] SunnyD are you from demonoid?? [07:07] SunnyD: this place is for talking about ubuntu [07:07] Jeruvy: but it's a beta [07:07] usser: is* [07:07] Jeruvy, its a prerelese last time i checked [07:07] lstarnes: it works [07:08] SunnyD, yeah, I'd like one invite [07:08] jezi22_: mykola: i have an invite lingering, i just want to give it, that's all [07:08] Gargorh: given [07:08] may I PM you? [07:08] theyeti, personally i just switched to 64 bit opera 10 with a 64 bit plugin, works fine so far [07:08] Gargorh: yes [07:08] usser: I feelthat way about all adobe crap :) but like I said it is available, and it does work. [07:08] SunnyD: heh... i haven't used demonoid in a while. I'm just telling you because there's another grumpy person here who shouts at you for being off topic :P [07:09] mykola: cool [07:09] a question. a "cut off version" of a radeon card is like a "bullshit version"? [07:09] Jeruvy, hehe, man talk about crap, i dont know if i like the fact that they now commited to releasing security patches regularly, im getting tired of installing 200mb updates to cs4 every other week [07:10] SunnyD: btw. I've been seeding for a while and demonoid has not yet updated my ratio... do you think it doesn't like transmission? [07:10] what does it mean "cut off version"?

I'm trying to set up a sorcerer box right now and im having a helluva time with xorg.conf. can i just install ubuntu, use that generated file, back it up, and give it to sorcerer? [07:12] usser: it could be "like AIGLX not supported"? [07:12] does the ubuntu live cd copy the contents of casper/filesystem.squashfs (contents) to the new install base directly? or does it mount the filesystem in loopback and copies specific files? [07:12] mykola: it's mote dependent on the version of Xorg and what modules/drivers are available [07:12] hello, quite new to ubuntu. Where can I find science applications? [07:13] lstarnes: yeah... i suppose ubuntu preloads a bunch of different modules [07:13] meh, not that big of a deal to just switch to the firefox beta when I want to play a flash game or something. was just confusing me why it didn't work. thanks for the help guys [07:13] hehe [07:13] sudo apt-cahce search science [07:13] cache* [07:13] ok [07:13] actually [07:13] you might want [07:13] Ab3L, it refers to hardware. aiglx has nothing to do with hardware. i dunno what the state is of ati's proprietary driver and if it supports aiglx but opensource drivers support aiglx [07:13] sudo apt-cache search science | less [07:13] it's large :P === tritium_ is now known as tritium [07:14] hi [07:14] how can i get pygame in ubuntu?

I'm about to install 9.04 desktop i386 on my quadcore. Is SMP equiavalent to multicore support? i.e., do I need to compile a kernel to take advantage of my quadcore, or will it work out of the box? [07:23] adrian, put the path in explicitly [07:23] noric: quad works out of the box, im running one :D [07:23] noric: yes SMP is what you want [07:23] mykola: yes, I looked into a hardware switch, but it seems that the switch is just a suggestion that could be ignored [07:24] adrian, good thing you didnt do chmod -rx `which chmod` [07:24] newbie002: i can't help you :( [07:24] adrian, dont type that last command i gave you please [07:24] mykola: yea it's 64 gigs [07:24] adrian, :) [07:24] mykola: Boobah said the opposite of you [07:24] Boohbah: mykola said the opposite of you ?? [07:24] mykola: it's a strange question [07:24] ok [07:24] mykola: fdisk doesn't have a CD format [07:24] noric: i dunno. I have an intel core 2 quad and it's running just fine [07:24] well, i'm going to try rebooting and see if it works [07:25] mykola: does top show two cores, or how do you monitor that?

[07:25] bigfish: it may be the only issue in the file, and then it may work. [07:25] <^Phantom^> When I try to launch Driftnet, it doesn't launch. What am I doing wrong here? [07:25] noric: gnome system monitor shows all 4 cores... for instance, 1 is a 8% 2 is at 2.8% 3 is a 2 % and 4 is at 7% for me right now [07:26] Ab3L, can you try opengl output in mplayer, x11 is really not the way to go [07:26] mykola: any idea why Boohbah says I need SMP? [07:26] Ab3L, for video [07:26] noric: you have to ask him about that [07:26] umm wat??

[08:06] mrbob009: hmm... i dunno then :( [08:07] <^Phantom^> dude, what the flip [08:07] hmm [08:07] mykola: rare problem huh, i should check xorg. logs in /var/log i think [08:07] what happens [08:07] if you have the black screen [08:07] <^Phantom^> i can't create my soft ap <_< [08:08] and type alt + k + sysRq? [08:08] hey gem check what Juha Siltala has to say here https://issues.foresightlinux.org/browse/FL-678 [08:08] gem: its seems deleting the index and starting with a clean slate fixes it [08:08] progesterone is an aussie [08:09] Ubuntu with 256MB RAM is quite slow. Would it be ok in Xubuntu? [08:09] bigfish Sorry? [08:09] progesterone: probably a little better.. although that is a really low amount if ram [08:09] *of [08:10] progesterone: xubuntu would be quicker... using an even lighter window manager would be even quicker [08:10] progesterone: try using fluxbox [08:10] mykola lighter window manager? ... what do you mean by that? [08:10] progesterone: if you choose fluxbox, be prepared for a learning curve :D it's good tho, i love fluxbox [08:10] progesterone: something like fluxbox [08:10] progesterone: Xubuntu (with Xfce) works fine on my 256 MB laptop. (In fact, GNOME works fine too) [08:11] progesterone: window managers control the way your desktop looks and feels. some use heavy graphics effects and some are lighter [08:11] enlightenment 17 is quite nice too :) [08:11] when JTR is running in incremental mode, what does the "guesses: 1" statement mean? [08:12] progesterone: for instance, fluxbox uses quite fewer system resources than gnome does, but you won't have your shiny desktop effects and you will have to learn to edit some config files [08:12] progesterone: still... fluxbox can look quite nice [08:13] icewm is also a popular choice [08:13] tho to be honest, with 256 ram, i think xfce (xubuntu) would be your easiest choice [08:14] hey does anyone remember if Ktorrent is the torrent client that makes a bunch of new folders with archive information in them about the torrents [08:14] mykola Although I'm IT guy, I am newbie in linux. So what would you recommend for my 256MB RAM PC? [08:14] go for xfce :D [08:14] progrestone : xubuntu [08:14] xubuntu [08:14] progesterone: Xfce (Xubuntu). [08:15] xfce = xubuntu ??? [08:15] yes [08:15] well [08:15] <^Phantom^> how can i create a soft ap? [08:15] xfce is used by xubuntu, get it? [08:15] Phantom, go for mono-develop [08:15] progesterone: Not really - but Xubuntu uses Xfce, just as Ubuntu uses GNOME and Kubuntu uses KDE. [08:15] progesterone: xubuntu is a linux distrobution that has xfce as its main target of development [08:16] was fluxbuntu ever updated past 7.10? [08:16] <^Phantom^> what on earth is that? === chuvmor_ is now known as chuvmor [08:16] ^Phantom^: What's a "soft ap"? [08:16] mykola: I belive they have started work on it again, but im not sure if its been updated [08:16] mykola Actually the main thing that make me abandon Ubuntu is slow internet connection. [08:17] <^Phantom^> soft access point [08:18] hi all I can't find my ethenet under my ubuntu,I type the sudo sopppetho(maybe the command is a little wrong,I input it according to the book such like introduce to ubuntu...so it is exactly),it responds to the erro.what can I check my ethenet in another way [08:18] progesterone: yeah... having a slow internet connection using ubuntu kind of kills you? [08:18] are you on dial up? [08:18] mykola There're some hints I found on internet. But as you know, the machine is slow and internet connection is slow as well. I couldn't keep going to diagnose. [08:18] does wine use cpu to emulate? [08:18] and what is the real problem?? [08:18] <^Phantom^> what is mono-develop? [08:18] mykola No .... not dial up. I'm on ADSL. [08:19] progesterone: hmm... there are better distros out there for people with slow internet... i know that SuSE gives you something like 6 dvds full of software packages [08:19] progesterone: ah... ok then. what's your average download rate? [08:19] <^Phantom^> i tried sudo installing it but it said it couldn't find package information for it [08:19] progesterone: once you get the system set up, you shouldn't have to worry too much about downloading alot of stuff at adsl speeds [08:19] mykola 512MB [08:19] ^Phantom^: mono-develop is probably totally not what you want. [08:19] errm... kb? [08:20] if you're at 512 kb/s that's actually a pretty modest speed... why are you complaining about slow internet [08:20] <^Phantom^> i was tinkering around [08:20] mykola It takes about 1 minute to load google page on Ubuntu. [08:20] progesterone: well that's odd. [08:20] Hi people. Does anyone know an app that can convert wma to ogg apart from soundconverter please ? [08:21] progesterone: and suggests a much slower speed. is 512 kb/s your full bandwith or your average download speed? [08:21] guys, can anyone tell me a link for source code of Linux 0.01? [08:21] <^Phantom^> now i somehow have (apparently) two connections to our router >:( [08:21] SiDi: lame [08:21] rosenth: lame doesnt support wma unfortunately [08:21] SiDi, ffmpeg? [08:21] SiDi: ffmpeg [08:21] mykola 512kb/s is average download speed. [08:21] mykola: 512 kb/s is about 64 kB/s, not that fast [08:21] any one? [08:21] SiDi: i did it before [08:22] SiDi: but lowest bitrate is 30kb i think [08:22] grawity: ah. i always get mixed up on b and B :P [08:22] yeah [08:22] mykola Sorry ... 512Mb/s ... not kilo [08:22] 64 is not that fast at all [08:22] hmm [08:22] keshav: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/linux-0.01.tar.gz [08:22] rosenth: actually i fear my wma is DRM'd :/ === abchirk_ is now known as abchirk [08:23] err [08:23] SiDi: whats DRM? [08:23] now i'm getting quite confused [08:23] mykola: When people use 'mb', I always think of milibits :) === chaky_ is now known as chaky [08:23] now i'm getting quite confused. i know my bandwith is 2MB/s which is plenty fast [08:23] rosenth: Digital "Rights" Management, or more accurately Digital Restrictions Management === pepito_ is now known as metal1369 [08:23] 512Mb/s is slower than that? [08:24] is there any one could help me? [08:24] mykola: 1 B = approx. 8 B [08:24] mykola: er. 1 B = 8 b [08:24] is there a way to have something like ms live sync hosted in ubuntu? that is, a service that creates a drive ond windows or a mount point in linux where everything is stored in a server. i want to have my files in a minicloud hosted in my server [08:24] yeah... 1 B = 8b 1kb = 1024 b [08:24] <^Phantom^> if mono-develop isn't what I want, then what *do* I want? [08:24] mykola As I said it's ok on Window. [08:24] so.. [08:24] rosenth: "Digital Rights Management" - it encrypts the file to make sure you couldn't send it to a friend or so. [08:24] 512 Mb/s = 64 MB/s [08:24] which is huge [08:24] like... stupidly large [08:25] mykola The problem is on Ubuntu. On some forums, some say IPv6 issue, but some also say DNS issue. [08:25] That's faster than I would think you could write to the hdd [08:25] as in... downloads a gig in 16 seconds [08:25] SiDi: you can byptass it. [08:25] mykola: And didn't he say 512 kb/s? [08:25] grawity: he changed it to Mb/s [08:25] Ah [08:26] hi all [08:26] anyway... i've always found my internet to be faster on any linux than it is in windows [08:26] don't know how i can help progesterone [08:27] <^Phantom^> what the flip [08:28] <^Phantom^> it won't create "PhantomNet" [08:28] anybody got 3dsmax 2008 running on ubuntu? [08:29] join debian [08:29] <^Phantom^> instead, it tries to connect to it. i don't want to connect to it, i want to CREATE it >_> [08:29] bigfish: wine says no :( [08:29] mykola Sorry. I was just expressing my disappointment. Thanks for your suggestion for Xubuntu. [08:29] yer, i saw that :( [08:29] progesterone: sorry i couldn't help you :( try xubuntu, maybe your browser is slow because the wm is taking too many resources? [08:29] !xubuntu [08:29] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [08:30] progesterone, What seems to be the issue? [08:30] <^Phantom^> can't find phantomnet, starting to get mad here <_< [08:30] rob_p Internet connection is terriblly slow in Ubuntu. [08:31] progesterone: are you in ubuntu right now? [08:31] how do i change my screen resolution in 8.10 from 800 to 1200 [08:31] mykola Now, I'm chatting on XP. [08:31] progesterone, hmm... next time you try to install software in ubuntu, look at the download speed [08:32] progesterone, if that is high, then you have system resource problems... if it is slow then you have connection problems i think [08:32] progesterone: for the former, switching to xfce might fix it [08:32] progesterone: dunno about the latter [08:32] progesterone, Slow as in slow data transfers throughout, or slow as in slow to respond but once it responds, it's fast? [08:33] ubuntu.de [08:33] <^Phantom^> so, what do i do now? [08:33] daaamn [08:33] hi all I can't find my ethenet under my ubuntu,I used the command "sudo opppioex" sth like that who knows what's up === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [08:34] rob_p Other applications are a little bit slow. But internet connection gets much slower down. [08:34] this channel has heck of alot of people [08:34] <^Phantom^> yeah not too helpful though [08:35] progesterone, How long does it take for the box to resolve and IP? [08:35] <^Phantom^> grr now i reset myself >:( [08:35] lol [08:35] ubuntu.de [08:35] progesterone, *an* IP [08:35] good lord it's 3:30 am [08:35] gnight folks [08:35] damn insomnia [08:36] rob_p I don't understand ... resolving an IP??? [08:36] mykola Good Night. [08:36] it's 3.35pm here [08:36] #ubuntu.de [08:36] <^Phantom^> so i guess creating a soft ap can't be done then [08:36] exactly the other side of the globe i guess lol [08:37] progesterone, In order for the computer to communicate, it has to lookup IPs from names (DNS). Like if you ping google.com, first it looks up google.com's IP address. Does that lookup take a long time? [08:38] <^Phantom^> i'll ask again: what the fuck do i need to create a Soft AP so that I can connect a device to the internet through it? [08:38] rob_p: remember google.com is likely cached by the local resolver [08:38] rob_p What should I try/do to answer your question? [08:39] progesterone, Use a utility like dig to lookup random names and see how long it takes to resolve them. [08:39] <^Phantom^> google ain't doing me any good [08:39] Boohbah, Yeah. That was just an example. But good to keep in mind. [08:39] where can i find help for eggdrop bot :o [08:39] * thomast so psyched that Jaunty recognizes my wifi card! Finally surfing with Linux! [08:39] is there anything like dropbox that i can run in ubuntu? [08:39] anyone could help me? [08:39] rob_p When I 'ping google.com' on terminal, it gets respond in about 600ms. [08:40] Anyone know of software that would allow me to send someone a 8GB dvd which when booted from would offer the recipient a *choice* of wiping their hdd and installing a new hdd image from the DVD? i.e. the only user intervention should be to say yes or no to "do you want your hdd wiped and hdd image Acme installed?" ? [08:40] progesterone, That's not what I'm asking. [08:40] <^phantom^>why u have to creat a soft AP [08:40] progesterone, Use the dig command. [08:40] chachin: #eggdrop on Undernet [08:40] kk thanks [08:41] rob_p Could you tell me the full command? === carl_ is now known as c4rl [08:41] rob_p dig ... ??? [08:41] Hilikus - dropbox has a Linux client - does it not work for you? [08:41] progesterone, ...and also, try resolving other domains. [08:41] no, i don't mean i client to use dropbox, i want to host a dropbox-like server in my own ubuntu server [08:41] progesterone, At the command prompt, type, "dig cnn.com" and see how long it takes to get the answer back. [08:42] <^Phantom^> so i can connect my nintendo dsi to it and capture images i view in the webbrowser on it [08:42] so - now that I can get Ubuntu running and on the Internet, how do I get my screen resolution better than 800x600? [08:42] Hello, I have a slight problem: laptop speakers stay on after I plug in my headphones. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit (but I had the same problem on 32-bit). Any help on that please? [08:42] is there something like that? to store and keep a file in sync from different platforms and storing the actual data in ubuntu [08:42] ah - Hilikus -sorry, didn't understand [08:42] progesterone, After you have done that for several random domains, you will have a feel for how long it's taking your resolver to resolve names. [08:43] rob_p 30ms ..

[08:44] <^phanto^>u could set up in the OS to be on internet directly [08:44] <^Phantom^> ^is that the right thing i need to do this? [08:45] how can I tell my video card model? I need to know it so I get the right priority driver [08:45] lspci says: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) [08:46] rob_p So, how can I keep diagnosing?

[08:46] progesterone, I'd try a data transfer and see if that is slow as well. [08:46] if something is liscensed as GPL that means you can't sell it but you can sell the installation and setup of the software correct? [08:47] I have a full linux harddrive. I need to partition it and add windows for work. Should I just plugin in the live cd and partition from there with what tools === tommy is now known as Guest37077 [08:47] navetz, you can sell the software itself, provided you give people the source code [08:47] blbrown: is a Virtual Machine an option for you?? [08:47] WIGGMPk, no [08:47] rob_p And then [08:47] progesterone, For instance, use FTP and get some large file from a well-connected server. Something like a 20MB file will give you an idea of how fast your connection is. [08:47] navetz: you can sell it, but you have to provide the source code, so yes you can [08:47] <^phanto^>do u mean u need look at the pic from the NDSL on ur pc directly? [08:48] blbrown: that sucks... the LiveCD has gparted on it and it will be able to resize the current partitions [08:48] rob_p If FTP download is still fine, what's next? [08:48] <^Phantom^> no [08:48] helo i need some help with the syntax sudo apt-get install skype === kb is now known as Guest17490 [08:49] aaronvarghese: install ubuntu-tweak (google search for the URL) and it has tools to install popular items.. for example Skype [08:49] progesterone, Well then it almost has to work for everything else! If browsing the 'Net is still slow, perhaps your ISP is transparently routing you through a proxy that is screwing up somehow...

[08:57] hi Free World [08:57] rob_p Broadband 512kb/s [08:59] progesterone, I don't run FTP services but you can test an http transfer with wget. It will list the running average download speed while you are getting a file. I've made a 20MB file on my server if you want to give it a try. [09:00] i wish i could make my own eggbot :P [09:00] chachin: stay on topic please [09:01] rob_p I've tested with download speed test website for my download speed, and it says about 512Mb/s. [09:02] progesterone, Open a terminal session and type the following at the command prompt: wget http://206.212.249.67/testfile_20mb.bin [09:02] progesterone, You don't have to download the whole thing. But as it's downloading, look at the transfer rate...

[09:10] myself: but you can use 32bit software with a 64bit system [09:10] i see [09:10] jahid you might need xine installed [09:10] mohan_: "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/foo" will mount the first partition (1) of the second drive (b) to the folder called /media/foo provided it exists [09:10] i have a 64 bit system but i have 32 bit ubuntu installed [09:10] FeasibilityStudy: i think xine is already installed, but how can i check that? [09:10] myself: but I found that a lot can [09:10] is there an easy way to upgrade 32 bit ubuntu to 64 bit? [09:10] rob_p It says about 20K/s. I'm downloading Xubuntu from Ubuntu in parallel. [09:10] myself: only reinstall [09:10] jahid from within amark it should say what the backend is [09:10] why [09:10] mohan_: if the media you wanna mount is a ntfs disk, add "-t ntfs-3g" in the command. if its an .iso file, add "-t iso9660 -o loop" [09:11] myself: because you can not update a system to 64bit [09:11] i see [09:11] <^Phantom^> why do i keep ending up with two connections to our router? [09:11] someone told me that i should run 32 bit cause it was more stable and stuff [09:11] myself they are wrong. Use 64 bit [09:11] myself: how much ram? [09:11] idd they are wrong [09:11] 2 gigs [09:11] ^Phantom^: oh. i'd disable that. the method for setting your card in infrastructure mode (AP) varies alot between different drivers. you'll have to use commands that are specific for your wifi card and driver. [09:11] myself: then use 32bit [09:11] myself: 32 and 64 bits are kind of the same on ubuntu. and 32bits apps work on 64bit arch [09:12] progesterone, Well, you have to do it with no other downloads in progress to get accurate results... [09:12] myself: I ran a 64 bit computer on a 32 bit ubuntu without too many problem that I recall [09:12] myself: 64bit makes only sense with 4gb ram and more [09:12] here's a question--if i download ubuntu 64 bit and install it, will i be able to install it over my current ubuntu install with no problems? or what exactly do i do [09:12] hi all. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 w/ Gnome. I also use some KDE apps like okular and kontact. Some time ago all the menus form the kde apps disappeared. I tried to reconfigure the apps /wo success. Which packages are responsible for the creation of the kde-app menus? What could I try to fix the problem? [09:12] myself: as is told you, reinstall [09:12] myself yes it will be no problem. Just use your current partition layout [09:13] but my question feasbilitystudy, is what will happen to my old ubuntu install [09:13] myself: you can not update 32bit to 64bit system [09:13] do i have to delete it? [09:13] myself it will be gone [09:13] ^Phantom^: for instance, i have an Atheros card. most Atheros cards uses the madwifi driver, so i'd use madwifi-tools to create a virtual network card in Infrastructure mode [09:13] so i have to format my drive? [09:13] FeasibilityStudy: it does not say anything about the xine. but I have installed systemtools, and there it shows xine as preferred selection [09:13] myself no you dont have to delete it. Just let the new Ubuntu install over it [09:13] oh so basically installing over it is like an upgrade anyway [09:13] but wait, will my programs be gone, or what? [09:13] but your deleting your old ubuntu first [09:13] myself no it will be a new install. [09:13] myself: no! [09:14] so its not myself :p [09:14] myself: you have to reinstall! [09:14] myself just like installing Ubuntu over Windows === tommy is now known as Guest28419 [09:14] myself: reinstall = overwriting old system [09:14] wait so what will happen to my old programs [09:14] progesterone, But if your Xubuntu download is 40 or 50Kb/sec while the testfile download was at 20Kb/sec., then I'd say you are achieving your allocated download speed from your ISP. [09:14] myself: just use 32bit system with your 2gb ram [09:14] yeah but im just curious maybe ill get more ram [09:15] progesterone, ...assuming a 512kbps connection from them... [09:15] jahid what kind of file are you trying to play in amarok? [09:15] anyone have any suggestion about amarok is not playing any sound, while my xine is installed. and other audio devices play sounds nice? [09:15] will there be a bunch of broken packages and stuff if i reinstall 64 bit over 32 bit [09:15] FeasibilityStudy: its their online collection [09:15] jahid, ah. OK [09:15] FeasibilityStudy: it shows that its playing, but no sound coming out [09:15] myself: there are some problems with 64bit, drivers, flash [09:15] i dont understand how everything will still work i mean, you say i cant upgrade, but installing it over is basically an upgrade if everything still works [09:15] hmm [09:15] i see [09:16] myself: .... reinstall = deleting old system and installing a new one.... [09:16] what does "deleting" mean [09:16] myself: so its no update [09:16] what would be deleted [09:16] myself: deleting, losing all data, format and so on [09:16] myself: the 32-bit install would be deleted [09:16] okay so it is a format [09:16] yes [09:16] jahid see here: http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php?topic=17003.0 [09:16] myself: / will be lost [09:16] <^Phantom^> i am NOT disabling that thing!!!!! It took me FOREVER to get it set up on our network >_> [09:16] okay [09:16] !who | myself [09:16] myself: 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 :) [09:17] ^Phantom^: ok, good luck. [09:17] no hints for me ? [09:17] are there any keyloggers in the repositories? I gave my friend ssh access and admin for a short time on my new machine because he was making a fuss... he's a dick so i wouldn't put it past him... [09:17] Ademan: not in the ubuntu-repos [09:17] what exactly are the driver problems with 64 bit? [09:18] myself: some drivers are missing, usb-wlan e.g. [09:18] ah, thanks iceroot [09:18] meaning usb doesn't work? [09:18] FeasibilityStudy: I already watched that thread, but didnt help me [09:18] myself: usb is working [09:18] myself: no, just wlan over usb sticks [09:18] myself: just donwload 64bit system and test the live-system if everything is working [09:18] Ademan, Have you searched the repos? [09:19] what is live-system === Alexandra is now known as Guest76132 [09:19] !live | myself [09:19] myself: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [09:19] i see [09:19] <^Phantom^> magnetron: it shows the driver is rt2500usb [09:20] what does 64 bit system mean? does it mean it utilizes your processor more if you have a 64 bit one? [09:20] myself: it just can adress more then 4gb ram for one process [09:20] jahid sudo apt-get install phonon lib-xine1 [09:20] that's it? [09:20] myself: yes [09:21] myself: also, what you said is correct. [09:21] can ubuntu read 4 gigs of ram with 32 bit? [09:21] rob_p: not recently [09:21] myself yes if you have a PAE kernel [09:21] ah, there is one... [09:21] would a 32 bit ubuntu and a 64 bit ubuntu like i have with just 2 gigs of ram be the same speed then? [09:21] Ademan, For future reference, you can do, "apt-cache search " at the command prompt for a list of packages in the repos that contain . [09:21] FeasibilityStudy: , it says phonon already installed, and didnt find "lib-xine1" [09:21] myself: yes same speed [09:21] i see [09:21] cool [09:21] Ademan, quick and easy! [09:21] rob_p: indeed, that's what i just did [09:21] jahid, im sorry. Try libxine1 [09:21] just got lazy this time :-p [09:21] myself: so just stay with 32bit [09:22] FeasibilityStudy: , that is already installed too [09:22] yeah i will, but i guess if i get a bunch more ram i'll get 64 [09:22] jahid how about libxine1-gnome [09:23] myself: just test your system with a 64bit live-system [09:23] hi all [09:23] Ademan, Did you know it takes more effort to ask the question in here than to just apt-cache search? Sucks to work so hard to be lazy! :-) === root is now known as Guest90979 [09:24] i want to know more about wubi installer [09:24] !wubi | koolhead17 [09:24] koolhead17: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[09:25] koolhead17: what? [09:26] iceroot: looking forward to move my company into linux [09:26] e0n`: only the alternate-cd imo [09:26] but all used windows [09:26] this is so boring, it was working with ubuntu's earlier version :s [09:26] iceroot: figured as much [09:26] so kindaa looking for simple easy method to get it done with ease [09:26] jahid sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-gstreamer [09:26] :P [09:27] koolhead17: maybe you should look befire if for all windows-appications you need, if there is a program for linux [09:27] koolhead17: i was never using wubi so i dont know if it is a good one [09:27] jahid once thats done, then do this: sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-xine [09:28] jahid then close and restart amarok. If that doesnt do it, I am at a loss. [09:28] FeasibilityStudy: I only have phonon-backend-xine installed, i dont have phonon-backend-gstreamer [09:28] iceroot: i want them to feel linux so that they finally leave windows [09:28] hehe [09:29] FeasibilityStudy: I did not have that gsstreamer installed, so i belive backend-xine was already thr and running [09:29] koolhead17: good idea :) [09:30] i've lost my /boot partition. please help me re-generate it [09:30] iceroot: so what i will do tommorow is will install wudi in one of the box and ask them to feel it for few days in a mean while will test about there drivers and all issues as they will have windows too.once they say i only need linux [09:30] is there *any* video player which can display anti-aliased beautiful subtitles *below* the video? i am on ubuntu 9.04 [09:30] will do reformatting [09:30] :P [09:31] my Kodak camera is not being recognized when by jaunty.

[09:36] <^Phantom^> what the flip am i even doing? [09:36] FeasibilityStudy: that is not showing ALSA though, only showing pulseaudio and my intel analog and digital drivers [09:36] Paddy_EIRE, which brings us to the original point - there is no reason why i should not be doing it, unless there is some ToS that you can show me [09:37] SandGorgon: this is a support channel. blog about it or something instead of spamming the channel with links. [09:37] <^Phantom^> where do i get these drivers for the rt2500usb wlan device? [09:37] FeasibilityStudy: i think intel's analog and digitals are alsa, but when i start amarok after selecting alsa, it says cant use intel analog, falling back to ESound [09:38] Paddy_EIRE, oh and i dont see why everyone should consider it spam - if u do, please feel free to ignore me [09:38] !coc > SandGorgon [09:38] SandGorgon, please see my private message [09:38] <^Phantom^> sudo won't get the drivers [09:38] <^Phantom^> what the fuck?

[10:05] oh my mistake [10:05] I want to make edubuntu available for a kindergarten I work for, but since the people who ask there are very computer illiterate, I figured I'd install it on an usb and not on the computer. can i do this?

Why are you removing/reinstalling? [10:52] i had an error on beryl [10:52] so i had to remove it [10:52] my title bar disapeard === Pak is now known as Guest55388 [10:53] excuse my english [10:53] What error do you get when you try and reinstall it? [10:53] lucian_: 9.04 doesn't have beryl, it has compiz-fusion. Unless you've installed beryl yourself. [10:53] can't read /usr/bin/beryl-settings: No such file or directory [10:54] i've installit myself [10:54] lucian_: How did you install it? [10:54] i've used an sh [10:55] weit so i can find the link [10:56] lucian_: Beryl hasn't been developed in a while, the modern version of it is compiz-fusion, which was already installed on your machine. What were you trying to use beryl for? [10:57] :-?? [10:57] and compiz has the same visual efects? [10:57] hello [10:57] the cube and all ather things? [10:57] .

You might have to remove its components by hand, it depends on whether someone included a removal option with your sh, or whatever. [11:03] ok, there is "general" [11:03] Check for an uninstall.sh. You might have one. [11:04] if i privide you the sourcecode of the sh you could help me? [11:04] hi to every one!! [11:04] Hi all how are we doing this morning?

That Xorg is right [12:42] To do directory mounting.. [12:42] how do i make it permanent.. [12:42] lambengolmor, hmmm okay I dont get it then - where do I paste the new settings then? [12:42] I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 with two monitors and an nvidia card. I've got my desktop spanning both monitors, but I can't open any windows, or move any windows to, the second monitor.

Anyway: the problem is that you need a complete device section for you graphic card [12:48] media: search online.. the deb file.. [12:48] Daniel_online: I think the faster way to build it is to run Ati catalyst [12:48] instead it installs this version libx264-dev (1:0.svn20080408-0.0ubuntu1 [12:48] *.* also [12:48] lambengolmor, Do I need to download a package? [12:48] mohan_ I'll try that [12:49] Daniel_online: I think you just need to install the ati drivers from gnome interface and catalyst would be installed by defalut [12:49] lambengolmor, lsmod |grep radeon dosent show much so perhaps the driver isnt installed in the first place [12:49] sudo apt-get -f install (packege name) [12:49] mohan_ can you provide a link? [12:49] Daniel_online: yeah, you can have the opensource driver [12:49] please [12:50] Daniel_online: you have to choose which one you want to use [12:50] lambengolmor, Is this the one? X.Org X server -- ATI display driver wrapper [12:50] lambengolmor, just did a search for ati [12:51] Daniel_online well... sincerly I never had an ati, so I'm not sure... [12:51] lambengolmor, Ill give it a try -) [12:51] lambengolmor, thank you so much for your time - a pleasure :-) === sbasuita_ is now known as sbasuita [12:52] Daniel_online: you're welcome... I hope you can solve... [12:52] Pirate_Hunter_ what about Wubi is it a Virtual Machine? or it dual boots your machine? [12:53] media: try here : http://www.debian-multimedia.org [12:53] OK - according to deluser 'bob' doesn't exist (I just deleted him in the GUI). But if I try to make a new 'bob' it tells me that name is taken. What's going on? [12:54] ThorB, wubi will install ubuntu also not too sure of how it does it but it aint a vm your best best is to use gparted on usb and load from it otherwise just install ubuntu the install process does give an option to partition disk it is quite easy fi you wish to cancel do so and it wont affect your system [12:54] <``Cube> anybody know how to chaing icons used in the netbook-remix by eeebuntu?!?!? [12:54] Impossible.. [12:54] media: it contains some old ones too [12:54] i have a question [12:54] Daniel_online: another way can be looking on the internet for a complete xorg section for your card... But in that case you should be careful that the driver is the same you have installed... [12:54] pls,. anybody help me through my problem.. [12:55] Please when asking for help declare what your problem is [12:55] !ask [12:55] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:56] if I build a kernel myself, how do I make this fancy bootsplash again?

[12:56] lambengolmor: i did Directory mounting using --bind command.. now how do i make it permanent? can it be added to fstab? [12:56] i have a question [12:56] lukilla: so ask already [12:56] lukilla - just ask [12:56] hey i ask 1 more time does compiz have a emerald theme manager incorporated? [12:56] hey guys. i have a canon scanner (CanoScan LiDE 500F) I would like to get working with ubuntu. On windows i used a program/driver called CanoScan toolbox to scan, but here on ubuntu it doesnt respond. Anyone have a clue how to get it work? [12:56] and if it has how i open it? [12:56] thanks [12:57] Hi does anyone know how I can render ncurses into ascii like id get over ssh or telnet? === mitch is now known as Guest46292 [12:57] mohan_: sorry, don't know... :( [12:57] when i download a game from the packages sometimes they show up kinda blury or shows more than one screen how can i fix this [12:57] lucian_: no, compiz doesn't have emerald theme manager [12:57] and how do i get 1 [12:57] !emerald | lucian_ [12:57] lucian_: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [12:58] can you tell me the name of a package? [12:58] Pirate_Hunter_ Hmm k i think i will try Wubi, and see how that works, and if it fails screws my system, I'll learn from experiance :D [12:58] ok thx [12:58] coherent, cramfs, devpts, efs, ext2, ext3, hfs, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, ntfs, proc, qnx4, reiserfs, romfs, smbfs, sysv, [12:58] tmpfs, udf, ufs, umsdos, vfat, xenix, xfs, and possibly others. For more details, see mount(8). For the filesystems currently supported by the [12:58] running kernel, see /proc/filesystems. An entry swap denotes a file or partition to be used for swapping, cf. swapon(8). An entry ignore causes [12:58] the line to be ignored. This is useful to show disk partitions which are currently unused. An entry none is useful for bind or move mounts. [12:58] Hecate: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:58] Promille, so do i cannon scanners (most) are proprietary and are dead weight on ubuntu (mine is) you could print from a vm machine it did works for me even if it is a hassle, you could check online for your specific printer and see what others have done [12:59] oops, sorry fellas, that was supposed to end up in a query [12:59] lucian_: I advice you to install fusion-icon... [12:59] mohan_, i just took a look in the fstab manpage (man fstab), if you leave the 3rd field empty, it should do exactely what you want [12:59] lucian_: it gives you a tray icon and if you have installed emerald (package emerald if i'm not wrong) [12:59] when i download some games from the packages they show up screen with lines through it is there any way to fix this? [13:00] mohan_, (see: An entry none is useful for bind or move mounts.) [13:00] lucian_: provides a nice emerald settings manager [13:00] Pirate_Hunter_: Ok, that didnt sound to promising. I found a thread on my specific printer from google, and they talked about a thing called sane-project? Does that ring any bells? [13:00] hi [13:00] ThorB, i wouldnt advice on that you might lose all your data, why dont you just use the livecd for ubuntu it allows you to check it out without damaging your system and even install it if your happu with the settings. Wubi takes too long and gets everything online not my cup of tea [13:00] my ubuntu no sound at all [13:00] who can help me ?thanks [13:00] Hecate: wow.. confused.. [13:00] Hecate: let me see man page.. [13:01] Hecate: as u did... [13:01] Pirate_Hunter_ I have no data as yet, its still anew system, im. Ghosting my drive right now just in case [13:01] going to lunch...

The more info you give the easier it would be for others to help you === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [13:28] The what happened is that I downloaded torrents and suddenly I saw this problem.

[13:37] 有说中文的吗？ [13:37] racecar56, sorry just checked window maker errh ddint know it was a wm thought it was a slit dock my fault if you log into it the menu can be accessed through right click, if you read the man wmaker in terminal it might help the quickest way is to log into a gnome session and purge wmaker from your system than install it again (if thats what you want) [13:37] 我的英文不好 [13:37] hey i have initiate some vpn connexion [13:37] and i would ssh some computer through this vpn [13:37] but no way :( [13:38] Justcop's issue: Okay so I am a Windows refugee and fairly recent at that, but could a hard drive issue cause that sort of thing?

[13:44] Pirate_Hunter_, anyway apt-get purge dosen't work for me... i have to do apt-get remove --purge [13:44] Pirate_Hunter_, i purged it and then i installed it and the menu is still nuts [13:45] I just noticed you were very involved, ziroday, and troubleshooting multiple things at once. Figured it was a good thing to watch. :-) [13:45] ziroday: I've tried again, i think it's the 12th time i restart those both on server and on client and i also did 2 reboot... the result is the same [13:45] ziroday: thanks anyway [13:45] lambengolmor: have you done sudo exportfs -a ?

If you use the latest version of ubuntu (9.04) that card should just work [13:48] Pirate_Hunter_, :| i give up for now [13:48] xtmnx: if you haven't even installed the 180, you should be cool to install the 185.. just follow the nvidia instructions and send me a pm so i know if it fixes the suspend and hdmi sound issues :) [13:49] FiremanEd: heh ok (i don't have anything connected to hdmi here though) [13:49] * Pirate_Hunter_ wishes people would be more patient especially after making go online to check for problems :( [13:49] woops wrong [13:49] lambengolmor: also I would try 192.168.0.0/25(ro,async,subtree_check) [13:49] FiReSTaRT: heh ok (i don't have anything connected to hdmi here though) [13:49] can anyone tell me why I get no output on this: echo "abbbcdefg" | grep "[b]+" === tsm_ is now known as thomson_ [13:49] ok let's try this..

The "Ubuntu drop out" story in WI aggrevated me, and the update to it further aggrevated me. The whole "Linux users are mean to clueless pretty girls" angle is completely unfair.

[13:59] user01, huh, well i'll be damn first user asking that, hmmm could be your options like ssl enabled [14:00] also amsn wont work for messenger but pidgin will [14:00] [Ekiga] What does 'GM' stand for in the identifiers 'GMSIPEndpoint', 'GMManager', and 'GMPCSSEndpoint'? [14:00] user01: do you have to go through some sort of proxy, or do you have some proxy defined that you shouldn't have? [14:00] ziroday: hmm how would i check? [14:01] user01, amsn is a lost cause in my eyes too buggy by default and needs a lot of patience to get it to work, you might be lucky asking others to guide you, still xchat should work from install [14:01] user01: System > Preferences > Network Proxy [14:02] Pirate_Hunter_: well normally there is a list of server in xchat but they are all gone, i did a complete reinstall of xchat and they are all still gone [14:03] I have problem with mount flashdrives: error "cannot get volume.fstype.alternative". (Ubuntu 9.04) anybody can help me? [14:03] user01: its happened to me before too [14:03] I never resolved it [14:03] ziroday: no proxy but the advanced configuration looks weird [14:03] I dont think its'repairable' [14:03] <_Claus> DnS is it just one flashdrive or all flashdrives? [14:04] user01, hmmm that is a new have you checked online and before you reinstalled did you purge everything first, might want to try removing using purge command than installing it again, but i aint promising that will fix the problem [14:04] ziroday: hostlist has localhost, 127.0.0.0/8, *.local [14:05] ziroday: shouldnt that be like 127.0.0.1 or something? [14:05] hey guys [14:05] is there a way to have a regular expression match nothing if a particular character is present? even if you've found partially what you're looking for, if it finds that character, it matches nothing. [14:05] A rogue mv command screwed muy [14:05] my user profile [14:06] i made a new account, but it says I can't sudo su [14:06] what group should I add myself to? [14:06] Spacelion: probably adm [14:06] ewsubach: Ah, thanks. Any others? [14:06] Hi guys im having alot of troubles getting telnet to connect.. I am trying to connect telnet to localhost and it keeps saying unable to connect.. Any ideas? [14:07] Hajuu: Is SSH running? [14:07] Spacelion: not sure. i use ubuntu and adm lets you do administration stuff. [14:07] ewsubach: Ah. I'm used to playing root, yaknow xD [14:08] Hajuu: to which port did you want to connect? is a server running accepting connections on that port? === Spacelion is now known as SpaceLion [14:08] Spacelion: i can tell by that mv command :D [14:08] good evening I am trying to get lirc and irw working 9.04 worked on 8.10 any ideas ? [14:09] ewsubach: LOL, yeah [14:09] i thought every computer needed 127.0.0.1 [14:09] ewsubach: I was moving all MP3's into a folder [14:09] ewsubach: Left a find command to find / * or something [14:09] ewsubach: Moved everything into /home/tarthen/mp3 [14:09] xDDD [14:10] ah no 127.0.0.0/8 is ok [14:10] well, not system files. just all /home/tarthen files [14:10] SpaceLion: ouch, yeah I always double/triple check anytime I use * to avoid overmatching [14:11] ewsubach: No biggie, it was 30 minutes after a clean install === Unikum is now known as Iderik [14:11] ewsubach: :D was actually on a friend's pc [14:11] i think there might be something wrong the host list . . . [14:11] lol [14:11] how can recomand me a god DOCK aplication? [14:11] or something [14:11] ewsubach: She got me to do it. She laughed when I failed like that :D [14:11] since im not using a proxy [14:12] lucian_: AWN or GnomeDo [14:12] lucian_: avant window manager [14:12] AWM [14:12] Hi, I recently just installed the recommended updates from Ubutu and they were all mostly firefox ones,once installed my firefox now doesnt work,it comes up with the window but dose nothing,it wont load my homepage or let me see my preferences or do anything please help [14:12] lucian_, there is no such thing as a good dock application in my opinion, however, you could try avn, cairo-dock,gnome-doc etc [14:12] if you could pls tell me the package name [14:12] lucian_: avant window *navigator [14:12] so i could installit directly from terminal [14:12] lucian_: you can search in synaptic [14:13] gnomedo or awm [14:13] lirc does not seem to work on 9.04 ? are there any known problems [14:13] lucian_: yes you can install from terminal [14:13] ok then wich is easier to configure :D [14:14] lucian_: GnomeDo. AWM is cool but will a little bit more time to configure and suit your needs [14:14] mmm i think 127.0.0.1 might be the issue === \FUH is now known as \fuh [14:15] Welshy-Rob: can you restart your system and see if Firefox misbehaves? [14:15] im going to try to change that and see what happens [14:15] lucian_: chocobanana is right. in fact, I like to have both installed. [14:15] ahhh i havent restarted yet thanks that might be why lol :P [14:15] i dont have the sources.list for thoes aps [14:15] cand find them x( [14:15] Welshy-Rob: normally you dodn't need to restart but it may be useful for you [14:16] lucian_: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [14:16] i'm trying to write a shell script in which there is a counter; i need this counter for the creation of filenames; however, i don't know how to format this counter in three digits... im doing 'let "a += 1"' -- how can i format this to three digits? [14:16] Impossible.. [14:16] iii col [14:16] i've just misspeled the name of the ap [14:16] thx [14:17] lucian_: sudo apt-get install gnome-do [14:17] is there an example of how a hosts file should look in ubuntu? [14:18] furenku: a=$((a+1)) [14:18] and if i mess to much with my desktop interface elements is there a way to restore the position of each element? [14:19] furenku: Doh, didn't read the last part. You can use printf to format it. printf "%03d" $a [14:19] lucian_: i don't know what you mean by that. [14:19] like moveing the bottom bar or deleateing it [14:20] chocobanana, Thanks it works now = ) [14:20] and replace some of the panels [14:20] Welshy-Rob: fantastic :) [14:20] lucian_: yes, you can always get those back another time [14:20] geirha, thanks a lot; i'm trying it out... but can't seem to understand the syntax for printf [14:20] user01: there are tutorials online of how to do it. if you view the hosts.deny file for example, the comments give some explanation of syntax [14:21] :)) not like that i mean like some command and pwf all back [14:21] :D [14:21] I'm really quite miffed about the fglrx support termination. Sucks man. [14:21] tag: I second that :( [14:21] maybe 'a = $ printf "%03d" ((a+1)) ' ?? [14:21] lucian_: i still don't know what you mean. [14:21] !html > Pirate_Hunter_ [14:21] Pirate_Hunter_, please see my private message [14:22] My chipset is just three years old, I purchased it about two years ago. And I swear it was only with the last major update that it even started working reasonably well. [14:22] Hi, I've got a ubuntu server running (with gnome desktop on it) and I'd like to use it remotely (fullscreen) on my mac, how do I do that? [14:22] i can't use fglrx (from the repos) in jaunty ( i get wrong monitor frequencies and when changing frequencies with xrandr nothing happen but a black screen [14:22] geirha, maybe 'a = $ printf "%03d" ((a+1)) ' ?? [14:22] I have a HD3200 [14:22] !vnc | afilatun2 [14:22] afilatun2: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [14:22] furenku: filename=$( printf "basename%03d" $((a++)) ) [14:22] erUSUL : thanks [14:22] afilatun2: or use Xwindows directly [14:23] tag: yea my tv out stopped working with jaunty on my radeon 9600 so i ordered an nvidia card from Amazon [14:23] geirha, where 'filename' is 'a' or any other filename, correct? [14:23] :)) NVM thx anyway you're the best man in the world :X [14:23] lucian_- sudo debconf gnome-panel [14:23] xcell thx [14:23] k [14:23] lucian_: i guess xcell solved the problem. glad i could help have fun, AWN is awsome [14:23] tag: I have an x600 and I'm stuck because It's on a laptop... :( :( [14:23] erUSUL, what is the difference between using ssh with x and actually using vnc wouldnt it be the same? [14:23] chocobanana: Mine's on a laptop as well (Radeon Mobility X1400) [14:24] tag: awful [14:24] yes i saw i fell like a little child in a toystore :D=)) [14:24] Pirate_Hunter_: well different protocols to do the same one VNC the other Xwindows [14:24] lol :D [14:24] a laptop that really isn't very old by any means....:-/ [14:24] this looks ok? 127.0.1.1 computername.lan computename.domain computername [14:24] tag: well, I intend to replace this laptop anyway in a year [14:24] hi, firefox doesn't start, neighter from terminal [14:24] furenku: in the case above, filename will equal "basename001", "basename002" etc. changing the number each time the line is run [14:25] lusy [14:25] tag: mine's 4 yrs. old. I could live without fglrx if it wasn't for Blender 3D... [14:26] i type firefox in terminal, there is no output and there is no change in top... anybody help? [14:26] erUSUL, so just the difference in protocol to dot he same job nothing more or less [14:26] See...if mine was, I'd be a bit more understanding. Mine is just hardly over two years old (and its a thinkpad, I shelled out quite a bit for it). [14:27] Pirate_Hunter_: as far as i can see; yes [14:27] erUSUL, ok [14:27] geirha, thanks a lot! it worked perfectly! [14:27] geirha, since i wanted just the numers for the filenames (no basename) i did the following: a=$( printf "%03d" $((a+=1)) ) [14:27] thanks a lot, really [14:28] dhalsimm, i dont really know how to help you but what does apt-cache policy firefox output [14:28] tag: but do you play games or do 3D? [14:28] Impossible.. [14:28] chocobanana: Just hacking on compiz :-/ [14:28] tag: mine has a quite good performance with compiz... [14:29] Pirate_Hunter_: I can't paste it to a site because firefox doesn't start so I paste it here [14:30] firefox: [14:30] Installed: 3.0.11+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 [14:30] Candidate: 3.0.11+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 [14:30] Version table: [14:30] *** 3.0.11+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 0 [14:30] dhalsimm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:30] 500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages [14:30] lol.. [14:30] thanks :) [14:30] furenku: You should use a separate var for that. When the number begins with 0, it is treated as an octal number, so it will stop to work when a=008 [14:31] geirha, yes, you're right, i just realized that... [14:31] dhalsimm: in terminal try firefox -safe-mode [14:31] When he picked you in the play [14:31] Hey guys. Does any of you know you know of any good video diagnostic tool for ubuntu?

Increment it after setting filename. filename=$( printf "%03d" $a ); a=$((a+1)) [14:35] Hajuu u ever heard about Wubi? [14:35] Never heh [14:35] what is it [14:35] dhalsimm, try killall -9 firefox-bin just in case [14:35] dhalsimm, only thing i can do is check online or you could wait for someone that might be able to help you [14:36] Pirate_Hunter_ jst need to get my Wifi to work now :P to the Forumns / Google.. and when i give up i'll holla at you n the people in the chatroom [14:36] Halitech: firefox-bin: no process killed [14:36] dhalsimm, whats the problem? [14:36] I want to send an AT command through hyperterminal for my USB modem to stop acting like a CD - but in none of the guides does it say HOW to connect using hyperterminal [14:36] dhalsimm, bummer, was hoping it had one hidden somewhere ... can you try running it as sudo? [14:36] richj: firefox doesn't start and I can't find it why [14:37] Hajuu is an program that installs Ubuntu for you while in Windows! I was doing some photoshop stuff while Ubuntu was installing [14:37] Hajuu http://wubi-installer.org/ [14:37] Halitech: no change [14:37] richj, help please! if i try to copy paste from virtualbox to linux it shows: cannot copy the file coz the disk is write-protected [14:37] I click connect, it gives me COM or TCP/IP [14:37] dhalsimm, is it the version from the repo or did you install it yourself from a download? [14:37] dhalsimm, what version of firefox is it? [14:38] ThorsonB: Thats nothin', did you know you can install ubuntus filesystem as a single file UNDER your XP partition? [14:38] :) [14:38] wolf23, not sure I know what you mean [14:38] Promille: there is a program called idvid that is part of tovid that gives info about video files [14:38] no repartitioning required [14:38] semarang [14:38] Hajuu well i now you tell me this! lol [14:38] dhalsimm, what is the output from this, cmdline: cd /usr/bin/; ls | grep firefox [14:39] :P [14:39] richj: first it was 3.0.8 or something and it didn't start, so I upgraded it, not it's 3.0.11 and it is from repo [14:39] so we both learned something [14:39] XD [14:39] anyway ill be back [14:39] thanks everyone [14:39] geirha, cool, you were right [14:39] Hajuu you an advance Ubunto user [14:39] it is firefox and firefox-3.0 [14:39] yo [14:39] geirha, i really need to learn this stuff, do you know a good reference? [14:40] dhalsimm, builds of 2.5 are available via launchpad ppa [14:40] which debian version is intrepid? [14:40] dhalsimm, can you use synaptic to mark it for reinstall and then reboot and see if it works? (if you haven';t already) [14:40] dhalsimm, I recommend installing 2.5 as a quick 'solution' [14:40] dhalsimm, sorry 3.5 [14:40] furenku: the Advanced bash scripting guide at tldp.org/guides.html === ohir_ is now known as ohir [14:40] richj, i have vbox guest windows xp and if i try to copy a file from vbox to ubuntu it cant work it shows a message: the file cannot be copy coz the disk is write-protected,remove the write protection or use another disk [14:41] Halitech: ok first I will try reinstall then 3.5 [14:41] geirha, thanks a lot, you saved me from a day frustration :) [14:41] nm, debootstrap is working with intrepid [14:41] Halitech: it won't affect my extensions right? [14:41] вот это мясо :D [14:41] dhalsimm, as long as you don't remove anything from your home folder you should be fine [14:42] wolf23, what version of guest additions do you have installed [14:42] fun [14:42] richj, xp serverpack 2 [14:43] Halitech: reinstall doesn't work [14:43] richj, sorry i mean [14:43] hi from Ukraine! =) [14:43] richj, 2.2.4 [14:43] dhalsimm, try 3.5 then and hopefully it will work [14:44] dhalsimm, are you using jaunty? [14:44] Halitech, agreed [14:44] richj: yes [14:44] Danny, Hi from Uranus :P [14:44] Danny just joking, hi from the Netherlands [14:44] hiii [14:44] dhalsimm, sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [14:45] richj what MUST have programs do you think is needd for linux users? [14:47] wolf23, open up virtualbox, right click your xp machine, goto settings, goto shared folders, does it show Access:full? [14:47] ThorsonB, GNU tools :) [14:47] ThorsonB, that depends entirely on what the user will be doing, what I consider a must have program others may not [14:48] richj let me rephrase that, lol for Beginer's! [14:48] Halitech well im new to it only been on it for about 3 weeks, ( 1 hour a day) [14:48] Hello, where can I talk to someone who knows something about the inner workings of Add/Remove Programs? [14:48] mac9416, yep [14:49] ThorsonB, for what purpose? I like hellanzb and lottanzb for usenet, a good game like open arena etc [14:49] richj, you? I need to know how A/R P determines what software packages to list, and what categories they are in. Thanks. [14:50] richj: when I type firefox-3.5, the output is "*NOTICE* No previous firefox profile found, starting with a fresh one" and "Segmentation fault" [14:50] richj, no it shows read-only === ghjfg is now known as COW_MAU_NGISEP_C [14:50] richj well i dunno first of all i need to learn how to install a "tar" file [14:50] woff23, set it to full access [14:50] ThorsonB, for a newbie it will still depend somewhat on what they will be doing, I usually do a base install and add what I want but typically its deluge, devede, vlc, icedove, amsn, f-spot and audacity [14:50] wolf23, set it to full access [14:50] dhalsimm, seg fault? it didnt run? [14:51] Halitech whats F-Spot? [14:51] ThorsonB, why install tar files? [14:51] richj: unfortunately [14:51] ThorsonB, its a graphic viewing app similiar to acdsee [14:51] mac9416, the programs available to install are downloaded from a list of repositories in the file, /etc/apt/sources.list [14:51] mac9416, look at cmdline: man apt-get [14:52] Halitech ahh! ok, well tar files becus i got a program i DL'ed and its a Tar file [14:52] ThorsonB, what program and did you check in synaptic to see if it was there first? [14:52] dhalsimm, did this behaviour start suddenly? [14:52] richj, i took the unmark from read-only and i keep the mark from make permanent and it it shows the same problem [14:53] Halitech, nope didnt check Syaptic.. im still a newbie! it took me a while just to get my wifi to work with it [14:53] richj: I was working in vista for about 3 weeks, then I started ubuntu, firefox doesn't start, I upgraded kernel and firefox, restarted, and firefox still doesn'r start [14:54] ThorsonB, safest and best bet is to use programs from synaptic first [14:54] richj, well I know how Synaptic parses the index files, etc. I just don't know how Add/Remove Programs determines what software to display and which category the package belongs to. None of that info is contained in the index files. [14:54] richj, Failed to create a shared folder myuser (pointing to /home/myuser) for the virtual machine WindowsXp,Could not remove the shared folder 'myuser' (VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED) [14:54] Halitech isnt synaptic like a repository, and I need to add further resources if i want to get a program? [14:55] ThorsonB, yes, thats exactly what it is, far as adding, it depends on what you want to get [14:55] richj, A/R P only displays top-level apps too. How does it know which ones those are? [14:55] good morning! I fixed this once, and can't find the solution right now. . .Jaunty, and no headphone sound. There was some command line "alsa *" something command I ran, and changed some volume settings, but can't find it now. . ..any ideas? [14:55] wisnut: alsamixer ? [14:55] dhalsimm, do you have a relatively new install? it sounds like a reinstall would be the best way to fix the underlying problem. [14:55] Wiseguy, alsamixer most likely === ghjfg is now known as cow_knalan_cow [14:56] mac9416, if you have some time, i will try and find the source code and look over it [14:56] richj: do you mean ubuntu? II have upgraded from hardy [14:56] erUSUL: yup - thanks a bunch! [14:56] dhalsimm, upgrading from hardy might have been the problem. It is usually recomended to upgrade from one release to the next [14:57] How do I set the boot default to Windows? My family members also use this computer and complain about having to select it at every startup. [14:57] i just change my ubuntu to kubuntu and i dont understand how to reconfigure my connect screen [14:57] Halitech hh ok, well im on it now ( on my other pc, playing arround with it [14:57] I cant access NetworkManager from my wife user...but if I boot with my user and change to my wife user, its work.... how can I fix it? [14:57] my english is not very good but in french nobody are there [14:57] richj, well I thought of that. It'll take a lot of time though. If you want to save some time, I can just try and find someone who knows off the top of their head. Or if you want to look at the source for me, that's OK too :-) [14:57] hi, I'm running Kubuntu and I have a fr_CA keyboard, and I wish to map n tilde to AltGr+n. I'm having another problem in which my "Prev" key (media previous track) increase the volume, and I'd like to fix that; what file should I edit to modify all these? [14:57] richj: oh I mean intrepid sorry [14:57] richj, is it in C? [14:58] Halitech how do i Update flash player from command line? [14:58] someone can answer my question? [14:58] mac9416, i don't know, probably in python at a guess, but I dont know [14:58] ThorsonB, update or install? [14:58] gynergie oui! Je no parle francias [14:58] richj, if it's in Python, I'll try and get a hold of it and read it. [14:58] richj: I will do a fresh install, with ext4, thanks for your help and Halitech too ;) [14:58] Halitech hmm well my youtube doesnt work.... [14:58] wolf23, try making a new shared folder from scratch [14:58] i can talk english [14:58] dhalsimm, no worries [14:59] ThorsonB, have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? [14:59] gynergie, I speak french... but what's your problem? [14:59] ThorsonB, that sounded more spanish than french :P [14:59] ah ok [14:59] gynergie, reconfigure your connect screen? Could you rephrase that? [15:00] je viens d'installer le paquet kubuntu avant j'étais sous ubuntu mais la je ne comprend pas la ligne de reconfiguration de l'écran de connection [15:00] gynergie, I'll speak to you in private if you want to talk french [15:00] Halitech Good question... (you might get fustrated from me after a while, to lazy to read manuals and forums today, so forgive me ) how do i "install the restricted packages or even check if they are installed [15:00] ok yanick [15:00] open it for me ok [15:01] Yanick_ Si, yo hablar espanol , y tu? :P [15:01] How do I set the boot default to Windows?

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:06] yinlong: ^ [16:07] - craftomaniac after i run that command where do i find the program? [16:07] craftomaniac it just says seg fault [16:07] craftomaniac, yes, I've seen several post about that, but nothing really clear [16:07] theuser1,fristly,you can typed "grub" [16:07] ThorsonB, go download the source from the airsnort site? [16:07] yinlong: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:08] ThorsonB, then extract and compile [16:08] yinlong: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [16:08] theuser1,what? [16:08] does anybody know where to find the ubuntu option for enabling external speakers? i'm desperate [16:08] than i must switch to windows [16:08] is komposer an actual kde app or is it the name that is misleading? [16:08] - craftomaniac is there an installed that aids with the extract & compiling? [16:09] ThorsonB, hmm i just found a deb on the internet http://www.getdeb.net/app/AirSnort [16:09] just dl and install [16:10] what other tools are thier avalable for WarDriving????????? [16:10] stickboy, then I really don't know, sorry [16:10] ThorsonB, qgis navigator? something like that [16:10] ThorsonB, there are lots! aircrack-ng and the full suite, kismet, wireshark [16:11] ThorsonB, my experience with gps technology was more in the area of mapping [16:11] please anyone? i'm googling but can't find the answer. i suspect is something in gconf but where? [16:11] Pirate_Hunter, kompozer is not a kde app, it's just an app with a name that starts with K [16:11] ooops [16:12] ThorsonB, oops brain fart lol [16:12] cga, what do you mean? [16:12] - craftomaniac getdeb is ??? [16:12] craftomaniac, i want to be able to change permanently the position of mnounted device on the desktop. default it to right instead of left. [16:12] firestart huh? u got to fart? [16:13] craftomaniac, thanks that is helpful to know so misleading, i still wonder why it is not in the repo for 9.04 [16:13] ThorsonB, getdeb is this site which tries to save lots of debs of software. deb's are install files for ubuntu and other debian-based distros [16:13] Pirate_Hunter, it is! apt-get install kompozer [16:13] ThorsonB, i confused wardriving with something else :) [16:13] cga, hmm hangon let me search it up [16:13] craftomaniac, thanks =) [16:14] firestart ohh ok thats why :P [16:15] - craftomaniac your a bit helpful mind if i harass you somemore! Whats a "deb" is that like an ".exe" in windows (an simple easy install method without using commant line) === gustavo is now known as gubuntero [16:15] craftomaniac, no its not i just searched the cache and nothing comes up, guessing i need to add it to the sourcelist (the link) [16:15] ThorsonB, yes... .deb installers are like .exe/.msi installers but for linux [16:16] !deb | ThorsonB [16:16] ThorsonB: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [16:16] Pirate_Hunter, check your software sources? i think you need to enable some repository (i forgot which) [16:16] ThorsonB, it's not really an executable like in windows (linux has executables too) but its like a file with the contents of a program and ubuntu knows how to install it [16:17] firestart kk. so what the extention of a Deb file? | @ firestart Paddy_eire & ubottu [16:17] cga, hangon, still searching [16:17] craftomaniac, doing the same =) [16:17] cga, uh oh... https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/48705 [16:17] ThorsonB, .deb [16:17] accidentaly deleted the panel utility that showed my wireless network status. im on jaunty [16:17] The package manager does not find mysql, but from cmd I do find it what is wrong? [16:17] how can i recover such thinggy? [16:18] craftomaniac, darn , thanks a lot again. [16:18] - craftomaniac so than whats a tar.gz ? A Zipped /. rar file ?? [16:18] cga, no problem. [16:18] kdag: right click the panel and select add to panel.. then locate the notification area [16:18] ThorsonB, tar.gz is yet another archive format [16:18] compression thingy [16:18] it's used a lot to zip the source code of a program [16:18] Paddy_EIRE: thanks, let me look for notification area [16:19] because the compression it does squeezes source code a lot [16:19] and when you have a tar.gz [16:19] - craftomaniac Ohh! that explains why i cant do anything with it in Windows! [16:19] which WYSIWYG is most prefered by the community here, im looking for clean code (as clean as possible)? [16:19] racecar56: You there, I screwed up graphics [16:19] Paddy_EIRE: i know now what happened, i tried to get rid of the Bluetooth logo [16:19] you can! just use another extracter like um, 7zip? [16:20] hey, im having some wierd random crashes on my 9.04 server, ssh & apache crashes, but server still responds to pings, checked kern.log syslog and messages in /var/log but cant see anything thats wrong.. any tips?=) [16:20] but it's kinda hard to compile stuff on windows [16:20] kdag: you can configure it so it only shows when you have an active bt connection [16:20] - craftomaniac So to install a tar.gz file you need to user the command line? or is there another easier alternative [16:20] kdag, well when there's an adapter present.. the other options are always and never [16:20] yeah use the command line (at least that's the only way i know of) [16:21] The package manager does not find mysql, but from cmd I do find it what is wrong? I have all repositories enabled on jauntly. [16:21] I need help uninstalling an ATI graphics driver from terminal [16:21] usually the most common way to compile the source is this way: [16:21] extract, [16:21] I'm on a jaunty USB pen livesession... today I had to restart it, and unlike the previous days the res is too low and bad... can-t make it recognize my screen and alter it to one as high as in previous sessions. what to do? [16:21] (tar zxvf archive.tar.gz) [16:21] then [16:21] ./configure [16:21] then make [16:21] then sudo make install [16:21] craftomaniac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:21] it was placed in the middle of the panel, i cant move it [16:21] !enter | craftomaniac [16:21] craftomaniac: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[16:22] - craftomaniac thats a little to advances for me :P i only got linux for about a week, but i will get to that stage of installing a tar.gz soon [16:22] oops sorry. anyway, so extract (tar zxvf archive.tar.gz), tell make how to install (./configure), build (make), install (sudo make install) [16:24] hey, im having some wierd random crashes on my 9.04 server, ssh & apache crashes, but server still responds to pings, also done a 3 hour memtest86 .. 0 errors, checked kern.log syslog and messages in /var/log but cant see anything thats wrong.. any tips? =) === Uwe__ is now known as Alexandra === Alexandra is now known as Alexandra_ [16:27] I'm on a jaunty USB pen livesession... today I had to restart it, and unlike the previous days the res is too low and bad... can-t make it recognize my screen and alter it to one as high as in previous sessions. what to do?

[16:27] Ok so now I have installed a .deb file with GEdit, where the hell did it install? I dont se an Icon anywhere | @ firestart craftomaniac [16:28] ThorsonB, hmm try accessories > text editor [16:28] ThorsonB, there will be no icon check the menu [16:28] ThorsonB, you wouldn't install a .deb with gedit [16:28] Hi all! I have a grub question. Here is the scenario, I had Ubuntu on Hd0 and installed a new drive to Hd0 and now Ubuntu is on Hd1. Installed Fc 10 to the new Hd0 and their grub did not search for other OS's to boot. So I have added the Ubuntu configuration to the Fc 10 grub.conf, and it errors with a error 23 "Must load Linux kernel before initrd". My kernel line IS before the initrd exactly as it is in the Ubuntu's menu.lst [16:28] file. Can anyone shed a lil light on how to configure grub correctly? [16:28] craftomaniac, i believe ThorsonB meant with gdeb lol [16:28] ThorsonB, you can just call the app through terminal or alt+f2 [16:28] ThorsonB, or do you mean you install gedit as a .deb file? [16:28] ThorsonB, Pirate_Hunter gave you the answer :) [16:29] ThorsonB, I think you meant installed a deb with gedit in it, but anyway usually in linux you can find these apps in the repositories already. no need to download the deb [16:29] sysdoc, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:29] I can't find mysql in the package manager. [16:29] is there a way I can just install grub too /boot without installing ubntu? [16:29] ubuntu [16:30] craftomaniac, he installed aircrack with gdeb and confused gdeb with gedit [16:30] oh . [16:30] I just want like a grub stage or somthing [16:30] Ohhhhh I learn something nice today!! "Alt+F2" ROCKS! ( @craftomaniac pirate_hunter_ halitech firestart ) Sorry guys BIG TIME newbie here :P [16:30] hi, does anyone who uses laptop-mode-tools know why, when i set BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=250, hdparm -I says "advanced power management level:128" ? [16:31] sabgenton_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:31] ThorsonB, no worries this is the help community [16:31] ThorsonB, no worries... remember my earlier brain fart? :) [16:31] Pirate_Hunter, That is nice however as stated in my last post I'm using the Fc 10 grub. It appears at least at this point Ubuntu and Fc 10 use grub in differently. === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder [16:32] ThorsonB, don't worry you'll eventually get used to linux and find out it's really very fun. By the way, check out Gnome-do [16:32] sysdoc, oh didn't know, sorry, you coud read the man pages that would be a start and check online also ask/check the forum [16:32] craftomaniac whats a Gnome-do ? a website? [16:32] sysdoc , in your /boot partiton (or if it's under /) just edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file [16:32] how can recommand me a site for AWN dock skins [16:33] you can have that on one hdd and boot to any other hdd in your system [16:33] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Do [16:33] ThorsonB, check out the wikipedia link [16:33] ThorsonB, it's this app launcher thing but it does waaay more than just launching apps. it can search your files and make programs do stuff, etc. yeah go to that website [16:33] firestart lol, whats sup wth you and that brain fart! :P do you need some toilet paper with that [16:34] lucian_, you would be better off with gnome-do still if you type themes awn in google you'll get some sites [16:34] ThorsonB, brain fart is the north american (well at least canadian, not sure about south of the border) slang for a brain glitch.. usually refers to when you can't remember something or confuse 2 different things [16:35] I feel like an expert already :P now i show off to my friends, and they will have no idea what the hell I am doing ( @craftomaniac pirate_hunter_ halitech firestart ) [16:35] firestart ohh lol Sorry Im European :P [16:35] lucian_, art.gnome.org is a nice site for customizing linux [16:35] Europe uber alles [16:35] ThorsonB, haha =) have fun [16:36] ThorsonB, so am i, but i've been living in north america for about 15 years... you from denmark? btw if you wanna show off to your friends, look into various compiz settings.. some kickass desktop effects [16:36] :'( danmark [16:36] !offtopic | ThorsonB, FiReSTaRT, dont' forget ;-) [16:36] ThorsonB, FiReSTaRT, dont' forget ;-): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:36] xcerca, I realize this however the error I'm receiving is a 23 error for grub, "Must load Linux kernel before initrd". My kernel line IS before the initrd.. So, I think I may be beyond simple additions to the menu.lst file cause Fc 10 uses the Grub.conf file- at least as far as I have been able to decipher at this point [16:36] Myrtti, that's why included the tidbit about compiz ;) [16:36] (don't mind dudes, I have a thing for Nordic countries) [16:36] just noticed that karmic will have ext4 as default. I guess this means that the bugs from the kernel shipped with 9.04 are fixed? Converted ext3->ext4 when upgrading to 9.04, but had to downgrade due to filesystem corruption and frequent crashes. Symptom "CPU # stuck for 60 seconds" [16:37] lucian_, ubuntu comes with some default themes, in my opinion it is better for you to do a minimalist theming of your box using default themes and take more importance in getting to know how to use your box and its function (will come very in handy) [16:37] I did a fresh install with ext4 and no trouble at all [16:37] (on Jaunty) [16:37] sorry ubottu & Myrtti [16:37] does anyone here use Virtualbox that can give me some tips with it? specifically how to make an actual drive apear as a drive as you can in vmware. Virtualbox only seems to be able to make virtual disks. [16:38] thx for the advice === ubuntu is now known as trubuntuh [16:38] it was usually my nightly compile cronjobs that caused problems. "svn up" and recompile on two 3GB large repositories [16:38] but i use my station for programing and listen music watching mivies [16:38] ThorsonB: ubottu is a bot, its a machine. As such you can not hurt its feelings, nor do you need to apologize to it [16:38] Pirate_Hunter: thanks [16:38] i'm bored playing games [16:39] he is not aware of BOTs really exist :D [16:39] mdm well its nice to be polite :D it got me this far in life [16:39] hi [16:39] does tetris support ubuntu [16:39] mdm, it is possible but extremelly hard for new users, even i haven't tried you may want to go to the virtualbox channel found here [16:40] {flame} it's rare for an European being to show a polite behaviour [16:40] ? [16:40] amy__: huh? [16:40] Thanks Pirate_Hunter it looks to be a dummed down verison of actual vmware [16:40] .ns help [16:40] tetris is already shipped with ubuntu, it's called Gnome Tetris [16:40] densou: keep it elsewhere [16:40] btw, anyone know any fun games (not neccessarily FPS) that run reasonably well on my X3100 integrated graphics? [16:40] densou, what is wrong with joo? [16:40] where can I find it? do i need to download it? [16:40] i m getting problem guys... [16:41] how to login... [16:41] I am having trouble burning a cd. I have tried 3 different applications Gnome baker, Basero and xf burn. all three wont work [16:41] i forgot my host name [16:41] amy_ application-> games->gnome tetris [16:41] is there a repo I need to install [16:41] ThorsonB, check your private msgs for a link to some screenshots of a personalized working ubuntu system :) a lot of it came from www.gnome-look.org [16:41] jackstraw, that's weird.. never had issues with nautilus.. what exactly happens? [16:41] mdm, i think the approach to VB is different from vw they do the samething are inclined to different approaches and VB is meant to be user friendly sometimes too user friendly if your not relying on the frontend [16:41] jackstraw, i meant never had issues with brasero [16:41] pardon, my misanthropical nihilist side has gone wild again :| [16:42] Actually I need to download the tetris game? where can I download it from? [16:42] Hi. I am now on Jaunty 64-bit. When I was on 32-bit, Counter-Strike 1.6 was running fine. Now I launch it (through wine) and.. nothing happens! Fresh install (just like previous setup). Any idea why? [16:42] amy__: applications->add/remove [16:42] ok [16:43] well in basero it says normalizing tracks and It just sits there I have a gig of ram and I have never had a problom with it in 8.10 [16:43] I have waited for 2 hours and it is still normalizing tracks [16:43] anyone know anything about windows in here or the evolution mail client as i cant seem to set it up on windows [16:44] jackstraw, have you tried it with only 1 cd or multiples? [16:44] thanks [16:44] np [16:46] anyone? [16:46] ok great i got the program i needed installed, now dont know how to use it :S [16:46] ThorsonB, what program? [16:47] Airsnort .. i ont think it see's my wifi card.. when i click scan nothing comes up :S [16:47] hmm.. hangon i've never used airsnort before. let me install it [16:48] hi ppl [16:48] craftomaniac my neighbour has WEP on his wifi ( i know the password) but i want to test my new 1337 skilz [16:49] does anyone use DC++ and can tell me is there is a productu that accepts all protocols [16:49] hahaha... [16:49] i hate the TTH [16:49] hi [16:49] or some like this diference betwen hubs [16:49] how are you? [16:49] helpme for ntfs by windows [16:50] Hi. I am now on Jaunty 64-bit. When I was on 32-bit, Counter-Strike 1.6 was running fine. Now I launch it (through wine) and.. nothing happens! Fresh install (just like previous setup). Any idea why? [16:51] ThorsonB, hmm that's weird mine isn't working either [16:51] carl_ what does display when you start the game [16:51] or it doesnt even start the install [16:51] lucian_: nothing, as if it didn't even launch [16:51] hangon let me dig up a link i had to a site which explained some 1337 WEP cracking =) [16:51] lucian_: it installed just fine, when I launch it the taskbar indicates "starting Counter Strike..." [16:51] then it disappears [16:51] depends on the cs aplication [16:51] craftomaniac i think there is a lot of stuff i still neeed to learn before i start wardriving, Aha! so then its airsnort that has issues [16:51] Anyone here who has some experience with the SD slot on a Dell Mini 9? [16:51] you use nonsteam or steam? [16:52] lucian_: nonsteam [16:52] Hi, I am trying to compile a kernel with high memory usage enabled, however when I start up xconfig, the option to enable high memory is greyed out, is there something I need to do to enable it? [16:52] trhen try to install ather cs full client [16:52] the nonsteam vers it's a little buggy [16:52] lucian_: how do I go about procuring that? [16:52] yeah i think that was the reason it was discontinued. anyway I think the aircrack suite of tools can do better than airsnort. here's their wiki http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=tutorial [16:52] hey, how can i find out the current spindown timeout for a harddrive? [16:53] you could use world wide web [16:53] :) [16:53] it's an imens source of info [16:53] lucian_: hehe ok :) I thought that would be some package. Right, so back to tpb... [16:53] thanks [16:53] cs it's a windows aplication [16:54] you couldn't get a package [16:54] sjlkg, i think you can find it in smartmontools [16:54] I've got the latest version of Ubuntu netbook remix on my dell mini 9, and I can't get it to recognize an SD card [16:54] which wireless adapter works best with 9.04? [16:54] PCI [16:54] sjlkg, try hdparm [16:55] craftomaniac, ya [16:55] craftomaniac: where should i look in the output of hdparm -I ? [16:55] craftomaniac i guess i should try that Aircrack then, let me see if i can install it myself n get it to work [16:56] whats a good program to record a stream [16:56] a voice only stream [16:56] like a radio show [16:56] i know hdparm -S sets the timeout, but i can't find the current value. my problem is that i think laptop-mode doesn't set it properly [16:56] hello everybody [16:56] !rss [16:56] streamripper ? [16:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about rss [16:56] sjlkg, wait hangon [16:57] Quick question, is the 64 bit ubuntu as compatable with programs as the 32 bit? If that makes sense?

[16:58] ok sry [16:58] lucian_ I do ! [16:58] sjlkg, hmm I think you can't figure out the spin down time, but you can SET the spin down time (hdparm -S time harddisk) and figure if the hard disk has spun down or not (hdparm -C harddisk) [16:58] :D [16:58] it would be possible now to boot ubuntu from a usb stick editing grub configuration? [16:58] so streamtuner, not streamripper? [16:59] grkblood13: streamripper is also handy [16:59] I get the message "No space left on device." on my Ubuntu machine. Does anybody know how to solve the problem? [16:59] erhard: by deleting stuff to make space\ === caglar is now known as Guest56884 [17:00] Can I increase the space with gparted?

[17:00] =( [17:00] Once during an installation ubuntu overwrite my windows boot partition... despite it being on another hardrive [17:01] sjlkg, by the way, hdparm -S time harddisk : the TIME is in intervals of 5 seconds. e.g. -S 10 means 50 seconds [17:01] hello, can anybody recommend a free program I can use to successfully burn ubuntu onto a cd? [17:01] erhard, no i wouldnt advise it some extensions like jfs dont allow you to increase the partition size afterwards if i am not mistaken, however, you should check with someone else and online also be aware that you might delete data from the other partition if not system files [17:02] hi there [17:02] luilver you should try on tghe manufacturer site [17:02] boomerisgod: ubuntu itself ;-) from the live cd [17:02] maibe you have some luck [17:02] i had for my web cam:D [17:02] I need to find a solution to fix my excel files [17:02] boomerisgod, im assuming youre not using ubuntu poweriso will do if it is just for burning [17:02] lucian_ are you sure ? [17:02] erhard: There are a few scripts that can do that. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Rules and http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ [17:02] what can i do it [17:02] how to fix invalid encoding of filenames with special characters like äöå? they show up correctly on my usb-drive but incorrectly on my ext3-partition where I copy them? [17:02] ok. thanks [17:03] 100% moust of the manufacturers try to keepup with linux [17:03] boomerisgod: or use http://infrarecorder.org [17:03] maybe you have some luck === Guest56884 is now known as karl_alexander [17:03] oh thx ! [17:03] Hello :> Not a Ubuntu-specific question but someone might know...is there any way of hiding/turning off the "toolbox" in GIMP without closing it entirely? [17:03] erhard: as always, make a backup before making any system or package changes. [17:03] craftomaniac: do you use laptop-mode-tools? what does hdparm -I | grep 'timer' say on your pc? [17:03] Hello. Is it possible to put the Ubuntu live cd on a HDD, then plug the HDD in another PC and then install Ubuntu to that same HDD? [17:04] hi people, Is there any solution to fix my xls files in ubuntu [17:04] sjlkg, it says "Standby timer values: spec'd by Vendor, no device specific minimum" [17:04] Via UNetBootIn maybe? [17:04] ShishKabab: yes. that would be similar to the bootbale USB stick you can make from the system-asadmin menu [17:04] so... somebody in here installed ubuntu on a macbook pro? [17:04] and no I don't use that. my laptop is usually stuck to the wall plug except when I want to bring it about. [17:04] i'll try both. I tried image burn before, but I still can't get it to work. I'm trying to run the OS off the cd... only a blank screen comes up after I click on the run ubuntu without making changes option [17:05] i need some help with puredata in debian [17:05] craftomaniac: hm okay, same here.. i set LM_BATT_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=120 in laptop-mode.config and i'm still getting ~40 spindowns in 10 minutes =/ [17:05] i can't use it properly [17:05] boomerisgod: have you checked the md5 of the downloaded iso? [17:05] sjlkg, or try using the hdparm -S time method? [17:05] if i try to load pd with Gem it is okay, but if i load any .pd patch that uses any gem object, SEGFAULTS [17:05] How do i view a taskmanager in Ubuntu - Like CTRL+ALT+DEL in windoes? [17:05] i have not... [17:05] zsquareplusc: Ok. So just via UNetBootIn? (using Debian here) [17:06] maybe that could be the problem... [17:06] craftomaniac: yes, i'll try that.. [17:06] ThorsonB: system>admin>system monitor [17:06] anyone haveing problems with the nvidea 180 drivers? [17:06] also [17:06] earthen, what kind of problems? [17:06] how do I check the md5? [17:06] under windows? [17:06] ThorsonB, you could try setting Alt-F6 or something to run gnome-system-monitor. I do that and it works perfect =) [17:06] shishkabab zsquareplusc i used Wubi to install ubuntu on my windoes machine and now it Dual boots with no problems (windows XP, on a netbook) [17:07] im on a netbook using the widely used Atom+Intel945gme combo [17:07] ShishKabab: yes, that could work too. or you can do it manually, copy the contents to a partition and use syslinux or extlinux to make it bootable. and you may need to rename the isolinux config file in that case [17:07] coz_, makes ubuntu crash aftar about 15 min [17:07] Xorg sometimes says stuff about missing MTRRs on c00000 and stuff like that [17:07] wtf is that? never had this message [17:07] ThorsonB: You could make a keyboard shortcut to any command, System>Prefs> Main Menu,,or something like that. [17:07] earthen, mm is this driver the one from the repo ? [17:07] earthen, glxinfo | grep version [17:07] Does Kubuntu ship with gtk+ libs installed? [17:07] coz_, yeah It's te recommended driver [17:08] why on xchat doesn't work the pm function ? [17:08] lucian_ have no idea ! [17:08] coz_, was wondering if anyone installed the verson 173 and if it was working better [17:08] ... and acer does not support ubuntu drivers :( [17:08] vigo, ThorsonB, um it's system > prefs > keyboard shortcuts > add [17:08] lucian_, it does [17:09] zsquareplusc: Ok. ThorsonB: I have a very special case: Windows won't boot (corrupted file system) and the PC doesn't boot from CD and has no floppy drive :) [17:09] earthen, I am not having issues right now on this system however the ONLY drivers so far in the 180.xx series that are worth anything are the 180.17 beta and the 180.29 release neither of which are available in the repo unfortunately [17:09] Hi! Sorry for writing not so Ubuntu-specific thing, but it's not a popular program I ask, and a big channel. :) New tint2 has a WM menu capability (it seems so). Did you manage it to work, anyone? [17:09] Thank you crtaftomaniac. [17:09] no problem [17:09] whoops [17:09] mispelled that bad [17:09] !install > Pirate_Hunter [17:09] Pirate_Hunter, please see my private message [17:09] Pirate did you recived my replay? [17:09] hey [17:09] lol =) doesn't matter [17:09] coz_, then why is it showing up as the recommended one to install ? [17:10] do you guys think my computer is too slow to fun flightgear? [17:10] vigo craftomaniac thansk [17:10] Pirate_Hunter did you recived my replay? [17:10] earthen, yeah that is a problem... it is the one that the ubuntu team decided on apparenlty [17:10] is there a wireless adapter that works well with Ubuntu 9.04 64bit? [17:10] coz_, I don't have the driver installed right now I took it off because of the lockup's [17:10] run i meant [17:10] ThorsonB, no problemo =) [17:10] earthen, however I am using the driver you have on this system with no issues so far [17:10] amy__: Yeah, it looks sukky. But give it a try. [17:10] Its too slow [17:10] shishkabab oh well then..... does it have valuable data on its HDD? [17:10] amy__: You just answered your question :| [17:11] coz_, the 180 you mean? or the 173 [17:11] oh [17:11] ShishKabab: well copying the cd contents including hidden files to a separate partition and then use the bootloader of your choice to load the kernel and initrd from there should also work [17:11] basically right, the flightgear seems to slow, i mean the movement [17:11] earthen, i have the 180.44 installed [17:11] coz_, ok what video card do you have? [17:12] earthen, just a 6600LE on this system [17:12] ThorsonB: No. I backupped the data and then did a hard power-off which corrupted the file system. After that I discovered it won't boot from CD :S [17:12] ShishKabab, no cd / floppy? try UNetBootIn to make a bootable USB, [17:12] Is there like a Certification you can get with Linux systems? [17:12] coz_, ok I have the 8600m a little newer maybe it has something to do with that [17:12] ThorsonB, no idea [17:13] shishkabab checked the BIOS properly? [17:13] great app benchmarking Linux = http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ [17:13] earthen, that is a probablility also depending on the manufacturer.. however again 180.44 is not the best driver available for nvidia cards overall [17:13] ThorsonB: Yes, there are many, choice is still free. [17:14] what's the command line thingy that prints the n most recent lines of a log file? (if only I could ask google that) [17:14] hi [17:14] Eloff, tail [17:14] earthen, so far the 180.xx series has not been a good group of drivers [17:14] ah, thanks [17:14] vigo what do you mean choice is still free? [17:14] Eloff, tail -n # file [17:14] coz_, oh no! what would you recommend then? [17:14] ThorsonB: Yes. It says the first boot device is the CD-rom but none of my live CDs boot. And I can't disable the other boot devices like the HDD. It's a very old PC. === Sex-C-Drive is now known as DREMUCK [17:14] Hi, new to Linux. Email through mweb was working fine. now send/receive box no longer highlighted so unable to send or receive messages. Help! [17:14] Eloff, or you can pipe it input like: cat /var/log/auth.log | tail -n 5 [17:14] coz_, you think the 173 would work better [17:15] earthen, well if you are having serious issues,, as apparenlty you are and you are sure it has nothing to do with any other applicatoin or the system itself ... you could always install another driver after uninstalling that one completely [17:15] ShishKabab, does your bios support booting USB? [17:15] vanessa: I assume your having an issue with an email program, but which one? [17:15] earthen, but you would have to download the drivers from nvidia to do that and there are some system settings that need editied [17:15] interesting, thanks sbasuita [17:15] craftomaniac: Nope. Old PC :) [17:15] coz_, I've uninstalled the 180 driver and my laptop has been running fine ever since [17:15] ouch! hmm...... [17:15] sebsebseb: evolution mail [17:16] why my screen dims when some apps are launched (Ex: virtualbox -comment foo -startvm $id) ? [17:16] earthen, just on the nv driver? [17:16] hey how knows if ie4linux is recognized by Javascript browser detection or ather scripting language like real IE? [17:16] (Sorry,I repeat my question second, and last, time ;)) New tint2 has a WM menu capability (it seems so). Did you manage it to work, anyone? [17:16] vanessa: I don't use Evolution, and if I am going to use an email client, I will use Mozilla Thunderbird [17:16] hello how do i enable record extension for xorg? [17:16] craftomaniac: Ah well. I'll just have to plug over the HDD. [17:16] earthen, if you are not interested in compiz or games on the system,, then you most likely dont need anything more than the default driver [17:16] ThorsonB: I mean that some corporations will charge a bahoodle of coins, some groups do not. LPCI is a recognized one, but heck, so is any good hacker. [17:17] lucian_, ie4linux is just a script to install ie [17:17] put some alerts in your java script code ! [17:17] ok thanks [17:17] ShishKabab, none of your live cd's boot? tried those made specifically for this situation like Systemrescuecd or something? ultra (or was it super) grub disk? === raven is now known as Guest45059 [17:17] thx [17:17] earthen, there is also this http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ [17:17] coz_, i had compitz install that why i wanted it. but i uninstall that before i removed the nvidea driver and my system still crashed [17:17] shishkabab oh well then, I dont know not that advanced.. [17:18] why my screen dims when some apps are launched (Ex: virtualbox -comment foo -startvm $id) ? [17:18] craftomaniac: No. Just Ubuntu and Knoppix. [17:18] if not I can't think of any other solution other than plucking out your harddisk [17:18] coz_, I do have the option of atp installing the 173 driver [17:18] vanessa: Evolution can't connect to your email account, is that the issue? [17:18] earthen, ooo no need to uninstall compiz it just wont work withouth 3d accelerated driver [17:18] vigo are thier any other Linux certifications? [17:18] under what name i can find it in source? === Guest45059 is now known as _raven [17:18] earthen, that 173 is just as bad but you can try it [17:18] who would I talk to about Mobile Broadband via NetworkManager? [17:18] oh you've tried Knoppix .... then i think there is no need to try those two unless you just want one last try =) [17:18] vigo well known so i can walk into a firm and be like I gor a LPCI cert. [17:18] earthen, the problem with the nouveau driver is that there is no 3d acceleration at this point [17:19] seems to be - was working, but send/receive box not highlighted now [17:19] coz_, yeah I know but i want to try my system with the nvidea driver installed and with out compitz just to see if in fact it was the driver not conpitz that was the problem [17:19] earthen, it was not compiz if this was a clean install of ubuntu 9.04 [17:19] coz_, ok even with the 173 driver? [17:19] ThorsonB: There are many, as I stated, RHEL, LPI,LPCI, Canonical has a course, or use to, Debian has one or two. [17:19] earthen, well you can try it [17:20] coz_, yes it was a clean install [17:20] earthen, then compiz was not the problem [17:20] earthen, if the x server crashes it generally a driver issue [17:20] I'm betting I am having a COMMON issue. Synaptic touch pad crashes after suspend-resume [17:21] craftomaniac: Mmm... I'm not going to waste antother CD. I'm pretty comfortable with the command-line with which I can rescue everything I want. [17:21] coz_, yeah, so does the 173 driver had 3d support [17:21] vanessa: I am not exactly where where evolution will store the user program data. For most programs in a Linux distro, program user data gets put in hidden .folders in home. For example .mozilla will be the Firefox profile. Evolution will have something in there, with your account details and such. If you were to remove it your emails would be lost, unless on the server still. However by removing or moving it [17:21] you start over, just as if you had never used Evolution before. [17:21] earthen, yes that driver indeed has it 3d acceleration [17:21] ThorsonB: here are some free study guides for LPI: http://www.certification-crazy.net/lpi_study.htm [17:21] vanessa: that was meant to start with I am not exacty suer where evolution [17:21] why my screen dims when some apps are launched (Ex: virtualbox -comment foo -startvm $id) ? [17:21] ShishKabab, Okay I see. Then just go ahead and pluck out that hard drive. Good luck =) [17:22] craftomaniac: Thanks! [17:22] luilver, laptop? [17:22] coz_, well I'll try that then cause I worked fine in the last version in ubuntu no problems at all [17:22] OK, no problem, thanks for the input [17:22] any great Twitter programs for Ubuntu besides TwitterFox (for firefox) [17:22] earthen, ok let me know then [17:22] aspire 5720z [17:22] ACER [17:22] will do [17:22] ShishKabab, Hope you manage to revive your old laptop =D [17:22] coz_, acer aspire 5720z [17:22] ThorsonB, gwibber [17:22] coz_, thanks for the help [17:23] luilver, which video card on that ?

[17:26] bo7amny: is this just at add / remove, or using command line also? [17:26] ThorsonB, pidgin has facebook.... not sure about twitter [17:26] both [17:26] twitter isn't instant message, is it? [17:26] I have install motion for my video capture card in ubuntu 9.04... it's working great [17:27] anyone wnat to test my video on my website ? [17:27] ThorsonB: There is a plugin for Pidgin which will give you rudimentary twitter support. [17:27] Hi all, I have installed a fresh version of ubuntu-server 9.04 and mounted some cifs shares. They work and I can make new files, however, I can't write any new content to them. This works when connecting to the shares from other machines. Any ideas? [17:27] luilver, you can do this via terminal also [17:27] luilver, lspci | grep -i vga [17:27] it give these error "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/bandwidthd_2.0.1+cvs20071208-3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2" [17:27] ThorsonB, O yeah there's a plugin called pidgin-twitter and lots of other plugins to support it like pidgin-twitterstatus.

I'll do [17:49] craftomaniac, oooooh thank you very much will check them [17:50] sebsebseb, amy has an Intel 865G [17:50] i have to search in my home directory?? [17:50] i am not sure if it wil help . mine looks rather empty that file. :( [17:50] coz_, nope, but i guess ubuntu 9.04 driver has to be the cause of the dim [17:50] jeffreyf: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/360399 [17:50] densou: how do you know? [17:50] Pirate_Hunter, no problem. That site's new but i think it will get very useful in the future [17:50] sorry to ask again, but why can i not kill a running 'wodim' command, even with "kill -KILL ****"? [17:50] luilver, yeah because if there is no setting in the bios right now for increasing shared memory only a bios update is going to give that option [17:50] I asked via query a while ago :P [17:50] sebsebseb: what next [17:50] craftomaniac, definitely [17:50] coz_, because using 7.10 doesn't dims [17:50] densou: do you know how much RAM she has as well?

[18:29] cabrey: that before [18:29] billybigrigger, i was throwing errors with ffmpeg as well [18:29] amy__, did you extract all of those files? [18:29] indus: well when i install linux it install own bootloader so it will be working...then i can install windows and then from Live cd i can point grub to load windows [18:30] hey why i can't run ie4linux [18:30] grkblood13::: well then you dont have aac codec installed [18:30] i've got an nvidia card, but i've mucked with drivers, and now want to go back to the vanilla nv driver. maybe i'm already running it, i dunno. how do i check that? [18:30] when i run it it returns rm: remove write-protected regular empty file `/home/lucian/.ies4linux/ie7/.firstrun'? [18:30] but i wanna say that in mandriva with kernel 2.6.28 my sound card worked [18:30] im pretty sure i do [18:30] i did this [18:30] do you mean open up the tar.gz file and then open another file from inside?

[18:30] grkblood13::: i convert all my HD videocamera vids from AAC to mp3 to play on my xbox [18:30] sebsebseb: but i wanna say that in mandriva with kernel 2.6.28 my sound card worked [18:30] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1117283 [18:30] grkblood13::: ffmpeg works great [18:30] erdem-uubuntu: well distros do hardware suppourt differently as well [18:30] webpigeon_laptop: do you mean open up the tar.gz file and then open another file from inside? [18:30] Magicman1264: when i had flash problems, swfdec was the problem ,so i removed it [18:30] real_nick: when you install windows over linux, it over writes the mbr with its own data and its difficult to recover [18:30] billybigrigger, can i pm you? [18:31] amy__, no, don't worry, looks like it's something thats needed by the install process, i'll see if i can find a package [18:31] k [18:31] hello. where can I see "partner" repositories for 9.04? [18:31] real_nick: Difficult, but not impossible. [18:31] erdem-uubuntu: sound and wireless are to common problem areas with Ubuntu, but I know that wireless's that don't just work in Ubuntu, may just work in Mandriva [18:31] Thiebaude: I will try that thank you [18:31] amy__, sorry, just double checking, it said dripkg and not dkpg? [18:31] Magicman1264: np [18:31] anybody have opinions on ECS motherboards? these reviews say this one is great [18:32] The streaming media is in /tmp directory in Ubuntu 8.10.

[18:32] When I'm visiting sites like YouTube, I'm able to see it in /tmp directory too ... [18:32] But, for Ubuntu 9.04, I can't find it .. [18:33] sebsebseb, no, thats not what i meant, just checking it wasn't a typo or something, looks like some kinda funky intel installer [18:33] sebsebseb: u are right i solved my wireless card problem with ndiswrapper but soundcard :( [18:33] erdem-uubuntu: solved with Ndiswrapper hum, well you should do native if you can really :) [18:33] I had "parther" repositories for 8.10. This morning I have upgraded my 8.10 to 9.04 and now Im trying to tune it. [18:33] erdem-uubuntu: did sound work on Mandriva? [18:33] yes [18:34] erdem-uubuntu: yep distros do hardware suppourt differently as I said [18:34] webpigeon_laptop: what do I do now? I have typed in dripkg as a file name but still got error message [18:34] erdem-uubuntu: Do you like Mandriva as well? [18:34] amy__, yeah, i'm looking for an exicutable of dripkg [18:34] sebsebseb: no =) [18:34] webpigeon_laptop: ok [18:35] Could someone please help me to find out streaming media for 9.04? ... [18:35] erdem-uubuntu: well if you have a distro where sound and wireless just works, and you put on another distro where it dosn't in a virtual machine, it should work in the vm [18:35] since I've installed jaunty I've had erratic behavior from my wired connection - every so often it doesn't connect nor have any options where it normally says Auto eth0. A restart usually does the trick, sometimes even I have to use an older kernel. Any one got any idea what might be causing this? [18:35] erdem-uubuntu: ,because it can use the host for probelm hardware [18:36] anyone know what the dripkg program is and where it can be obtained [18:36] someone have a Ubuntu 9.04 serial or crack? [18:36] sebsebseb: i cannot understand, so what do you suggest me to do? use mandriva? [18:36] i tried converting aac to mp3 using ffmpeg and i got errors: http://pastebin.com/m421e059a [18:36] juninhu: your joking right? [18:36] did it have the evil drm?

[19:21] Flannel: http://paste2.org/p/264555 [19:21] ewsubach, okay, just a thought, might be worth installing it just incase the DVD is not inecripted [19:21] DavidePalm: you have to install libdvdcss2 [19:21] ewsubach encripted dvds = most regular dvds? [19:21] imperfect-, while we're at it, let me ask - afterall, what's the difference between the 'normal' image, i.e. ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso, and the alternate one? === \fuh is now known as \FUH [19:21] ah ok [19:21] Hello [19:21] DavidePalm: the simple solution is "sudo apt-get install vlc" [19:21] What is the command to reinstall grub on sdc1? [19:21] DavidePalm, sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [19:22] Desktop is a Live CD. Boot it up and you'll log into a Gnome desktop. You can give everything a test drive. If you want to install, there's an install icon with a GUI install. [19:22] Alternate is the old way of installing. No live CD.

I *think* I've found the package thats causing the removals: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libavcodec-unstripped-52 that has some odd depends (it depends on the same package twice, with different versions) [19:34] DavidePalm: i know you're pain. they make it so hard to do...i remember that what I did was search for the package online and did manual install. it is a bit of trouble but the .deb install is automated [19:34] hey ppl, if anyone got time I could use a little help [19:35] !ask | Neji123 [19:35] Neji123: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[19:36] Flannel: What do I do? [19:36] mmm4m5m: the logic is pretty simple: it checks for KDE_FULL_SESSION and GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID in the environment [19:36] mmm4m5m: make sure the former is not set and the latter is [19:36] DavidePalm: here it is, dude: http://packages.medibuntu.org/jaunty/libdvdcss2.html download and install :) [19:37] crdlb: ah, it is script... them let me check. thanks a lot [19:37] DavidePalm: assuming you're using jaunty [19:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/195149/ [19:37] bunson man rmmod [19:37] UbuntuBoy, that looks fine, [19:37] PlasmaSheep: You might go to #ubuntu-motu and ask them to take a look at it. If nothing else, they may have more luck than I do figuring out why its trying to remove that stuff. [19:38] .. the ehci_opi mod form dmesg? [19:38] does anyone have openvpn working with an existing bridge setup? [19:38] Flannel: will do, thanks [19:38] yes it's working now but when im start a firefox session it's freez [19:38] ewsubach, I followed the instructions on www.medibuntu.org, and I installed libdvdcss2. I"m restarting right now let's see if it works [19:38] DavidePalm: cool. good luck! [19:39] bunson: lsmod | grep webcam might point you in the right direction [19:39] gartral is there a specific mod i should use the rmmod on?

Anyone know what may be causing this, and possible fix? [19:39] ewsubach man this is really tough... why not just include all the libs necessary with a video player that you download? [19:39] DavidePalm: legal reasons. [19:39] DavidePalm: any software that breaks the encryption on DVDs is technically illegal [19:40] well then how do you download a dvd playing software for windows so easily? is that illegal as well? [19:40] UbuntuBoy, well try that and see what is says [19:40] gartral .. would rmmod on the pwc work? [19:41] DavidePalm: Well, some of the software can be "licensed". [19:41] DavidePalm: that's a good question and the answer is I don't know. i don't think it's the software, it's the libraries that decode it. [19:41] DavidePalm: The moral of the story is that the DMCA is bullshit. [19:41] i have an application which is pulling 100% cpu [19:41] DavidePalm: And in other news, DRM doesn't hurt pirates one bit but it does turn paying customers into pirates. [19:42] Hodapp LOL I see [19:42] i noticed about 75% is spent in kernel, so i ran it with 'strace' [19:42] I tried to install bugzilla3, now my package manager doesn't work.

[19:50] Paradigm_Shift, i thought that restricted extras did that but give it a go [19:51] any chance of having firefox 3.5 release candidate in the repository once it's up for download @mozilla? [19:51] alright thanks, gonna try that [19:51] pigeon_laptop: well, that can be verified by trying to install - sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [19:51] What kind of software are there for Ubuntu, for remote acess?

[19:53] DavidePalm: fastest and easiest is to enter the following at a command prompt: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [19:53] how can I be denied openeing a socket as root? [19:53] or changing socket options [19:53] DavidePalm, the ms fonts? sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [19:53] ? [19:54] Froogle, are you root? and is the port open? [19:54] yeah, it works from all hosts outside my little vm [19:55] I can telnet out [19:55] Froogle, are you sure there is not something blocking the connection to the port? [19:55] locally i mean [19:55] but just not to my own box [19:55] are you running a telnet deamon? [19:55] webpigeon_laptop: no.... [19:56] Froogle then what are you trying to telnet into? [19:56] I was telneting to IMAP [19:56] using telnet too troubleshoot [19:56] I can telnet to other hosts [19:56] and I have flushed iptables a few times now [19:56] you have an imap server running on your mashin? [19:56] Well this is fun, I fixed the error 5 on my system, but now I'm getting an error 17 on grub. Any ideas on a fix? [19:56] webpigeon_laptop: indeed [19:56] webpigeon_laptop: it answers to everything else [19:56] and so does lighttpd [19:56] just nothing works from the actual box [19:57] due to this socketopt permission denied thing === milos is now known as milos__ [19:57] okay, strange, it looks like outgoing/incoming connections to localhost are being denied by the mashine, not the user [19:57] Froogle, check your hosts.deny make sure that localhost isn't on your deny list [19:57] tonyf12: it seems you have mysql-5.1 installed. It's conflicting with bugzilla's mysql-5.0 requirement. [19:58] webpigeon_laptop: it's blank [19:58] webpigeon_laptop: doesn't SO_DEBUG look like a glibc issue? [19:58] hi all [19:58] anyone here from africa ? [19:58] Hi all, I have installed a fresh version of ubuntu-server 9.04 and mounted some cifs shares. They work and I can make new files, however, I can't write any new content to them. This works when connecting to the shares from other machines. Any ideas? [19:58] yes i am from kenya === me is now known as Guest41774 [19:58] Froogle, no, still might be that the port is refusing a connection [19:59] Froogle, any kind of firewall running on the mashine? [19:59] Or maybe SELinux [19:59] webpigeon_laptop: iptables with rules from fail2ban [19:59] no apparmor or selinux [20:00] Froogle and your sure localhost is not blacklisted in someway? [20:00] webpigeon_laptop: like where? [20:00] cankoy: How do I fix it? [20:00] I have checked everywhere it would be [20:00] iptables/hosts.deny [20:00] Froogle the imap deamon it's self? [20:00] tonyf12: will it be a prob. if you downgrade mysql to 5.0? [20:01] webpigeon_laptop: well it's not just imap, it's http and https too [20:01] http://pastebin.ca/1459087 [20:01] crdlb: I login as userA but run lazarus (xdg-open) as userB. So, no gnome session for userB. Still wondering 'xdg-open http://' works (x-www-browser), but 'xdg-open file://' does not work (www-browser). Both are URL, why they are different types? [20:01] that is iptables and the route table [20:01] cankoy: Nope, other than I don't know how to downgrade a package. [20:01] Froogle, can you open the http connection in your browser? http://localhost ? [20:02] webpigeon_laptop: lol I don't have a browser on there, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work [20:02] Ok, lemme just refresh your memories, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 onto my computer, so I went in, created a new ext3 partition, set it up as / on install, had an error 5 upon reboot. So I tried it again, and now I'm getting error 17 on reboot. Is there any way to fix an error 17 message when grub is giving me that error? [20:02] let me try with lynx === I is now known as Guest89503 [20:02] mmm4m5m: why would you run a GUI app as a different user? [20:02] yeah that fails [20:02] tonyf12: you just remove mysql-5.1, then 'apt-get -f install' should do the rest. But, first do 'apt-get clean', then apt-get update, then remove mysql-5.1 [20:02] IT ITCHES SO BAD [20:03] Froogle, then it seems like it's refusing connections from localhost, don't ask me why though [20:03] lol [20:03] I am pretty sure it's an issue with opening connections [20:03] but I don't really know [20:03] pinning [20:03] !pinning [20:03] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [20:03] Froogle, can you access the http deamon from another mashine? [20:03] webpigeon_laptop: yes [20:03] everything works from outside this box [20:03] crdlb: it is convinient (using 'xhost +si:localuser:userB) [20:04] is there a gmail drive for linux that actually works and not the firefox extension? [20:04] email/http/fail2ban [20:04] Froogle, try using the boxes internal IP address from the mashine eg. lynx 192.168.0.1 [20:04] doesn't matter [20:04] mmm4m5m: but why it use useful? [20:04] Froogle, so that doesn't work either? [20:04] [Ekiga] What does 'GM' stand for in the identifiers 'GMSIPEndpoint', 'GMManager', and 'GMPCSSEndpoint'? [20:04] I can go to the IP/hostname, I can bind to the external IP, nothing works :/ [20:05] err I tried thoose [20:05] I formatted an old NTFS partition to ext4 but I can't seem to mount it. Any idea where I can start to troubleshoot this? [20:05] I'm trying to install wolfenstein ET but it says I don't have write permission to save it [20:05] does anyone have openvpn working with an existing bridge setup? [20:05] Froogle, can it connect to other mashines? [20:05] hi [20:06] [/var/run/network][18:02:19][09-06-13]#>telnet -d -b 67.222.XX.XX localhost 143 [20:06] Trying 127.0.0.1... [20:06] setsockopt (SO_DEBUG): Permission denied [20:06] ok i got a jaunty install that is massivly slow [20:06] how do I revert a version of a program? [in my case, wine] [20:06] ghostlines, if no one here try #linux channel [20:06] tonyf12: package name's mysql-server-5.1 [20:06] yeah it connects to other machines fine [20:06] and recently all the permissions got messed up [20:06] where can i get the src package that was used for building some binary ubuntu package? ive looked at http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu/dists/hardy/ but the files name Sources.gz, Packages.gz contain no data? [20:06] so I had to redo them for /dev/null and a bunch of /var [20:06] that is why I think it's permissions somewhere [20:06] crdlb: I have few restricted users, separate home dirs.. instead of login or switch user, this is how I do it. I do not know is it wrong, but I like it. [20:06] not sure why root can't do it though :( [20:07] I've got an external hard drive which is plugged in all of the time, how can I make it mount at boot, rather than have to yank usb out to force a mount? [20:07] nperry: fstab? [20:07] yay I got it :-) === ArQuiO is now known as arquio [20:07] cankoy: Thanks [20:07] !fstab [20:07] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:08] julius: add the deb-src repositorie and do apt-get source packagename [20:08] Froogle, its strange, i wouldn't expect a permissions issue to effect it like this, it'd be more likly to not connect to anything or not allow anything to connect to it === milos__ is now known as mandara [20:08] mmm4m5m: well, xdg-open's open_generic function seems to do odd things with file:/// uris, but I guess you could artificially export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID [20:08] Froogle, Will the uuid always stay the same? [20:08] I'm trying to install wolfenstein ET but it says I don't have write permission to save it [20:08] erUSUL, im looking for a package that was made for hardy in the "ubuntu mobile ppa", but im currently running jaunty...is that a problem? === silver is now known as Guest74797 [20:08] erUSUL, is there no web interface? [20:08] nperry: mount it with user permissions [20:09] I forgot how to do that exactly though [20:09] julius: packages.ubuntu.com ? [20:09] I think just chmod it when it's mounted [20:09] Froogle, any chance of an example? [20:09] is there any other native gnome feed reader apart from liferea? liferea hangs too much while trying to update feeds, and it's slow. [20:09] erUSUL, does not search the ubuntu mobile ppa [20:09] crdlb: another option - for userB, change PATH and put there different odg-open? [20:09] also, i want to switch my tabs in gnome-terminal using ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab, but the "Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts" menu doesn't allow me to do that. any idea why? [20:09] webpigeon_laptop: I think it might have something to the host machine, since this is a openvz guest [20:09] crdlb: I mean, xdg-open (sorry) [20:09] nperry: http://google.com :? [20:09] :/ [20:09] mmm4m5m: that would work, I guess ... [20:10] mmm4m5m: assuming it doesn't run /usr/bin/xdg-open [20:10] Froogle, so the host mashine might be preventing the connections... take it there is nothing banned in the host mashine? [20:10] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 onto my computer, so I went in, created a new ext3 partition, set it up as / on install, had an error 5 upon reboot. So I tried it again, and now I'm getting error 17 on reboot. Is there any way to fix an error 17 message when grub is giving me that error? [20:10] crdlb: right !! :) Ok, thanks a lot. [20:11] webpigeon_laptop: I don't know that is the problem, it's a purcahsed vps [20:11] I don't have host axx [20:11] erUSUL, ah...just read the copying file in some binary package...looks like theres no source code from intel [20:11] Froogle, okay [20:11] hey, who is using grub2? [20:12] Froogle, might be something strange they are doing? [20:12] Schuenemann, the very fact my computer boots with ext4 surgests i am :P [20:12] webpigeon_laptop: yeah that is what I suspect, but I want to rule everything out before I hit them up with a ticket. [20:13] hey just need someone to explain the meaing of: [Testing] [PCI] Card delivered to developers. Completely new architecture. Creative have supplied a data sheet to developers. Development work has started.Preliminary support need testers.The patch is now merged into sound-unstable GIT tree topic/ctxfi branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-unstable-2.6.git.The corresponding alsa-driver snapshot tarball is: ftp:// [20:13] Froogle, i'm out of ideas, seems strange though [20:13] webpigeon_laptop: well thanks :) [20:13] I'll keep looking [20:14] Neji123, means they are testing whatever driver your looking at and they've put it in an unstable banch for testing [20:14] so I can download it and try to see if it works? [20:14] Neji123, if your insane, you could compile the driver :P [20:14] no im not ;p [20:14] Froogle, this should be alright - UUID=55D123D9E79ABF54 /media/OneTouch 4 ntfs user 0 0? [20:15] uuuuh [20:15] hi there channel :) [20:15] not sure what is up with the UUID [20:15] is that the dev? [20:15] im just so confused that my sound works when I logout but not in anything else [20:15] Anyone know anything about PHP Open Chat? [20:15] nperry: usually the line is /dev/harddrive /media/mountpoint ntfs user 0 0 [20:15] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 onto my computer, so I went in, created a new ext3 partition, set it up as / on install, had an error 5 upon reboot. So I tried it again, and now I'm getting error 17 on reboot. Is there any way to fix an error 17 message when grub is giving me that error? [20:15] No dev is /dev/sdb1 but ubuntuwiki suggests using uuid [20:16] nperry: yeah that was just an example [20:16] but if the wiki says to use UUID, go for it [20:16] UUID is a lot nicer to use. [20:16] see, I am just behind the times [20:16] to see the distro it's lsb_release -a but there is another way with cat /etc/...... what I miss [20:16] Ok, thanks! [20:17] Froogle, Thanks for the heads up anyway :) [20:17] dury: cat /etc/issue [20:17] can somene tell me another good browser for Ubuntu, besides firefox ? I have a project to run, and I have to login from same machine, on the site using diffrent users [20:17] nperry: no problem :) [20:17] Sorinello: Opera [20:17] simultaneousley [20:17] apt-get install opera ? [20:17] Neji123, did you install ubuntu restricted extras? [20:17] not sure [20:17] think you have to get it from the website [20:17] yes I did [20:17] okay [20:17] Froogle: that's right, really appreciate it :D [20:17] Sorinello, oprea is not in the repo, it's closed sourse [20:17] dury: no problem :) [20:17] also rebooted my computer but was no difference [20:18] Neji123, do you get an error message or anything? [20:18] not that I noticed [20:18] !pastebin your dmesg [20:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:18] !pastebin | Neji123 [20:18] Neji123: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[20:19] alright, what do you want me to do with that? heh [20:19] Froogle: what about uname -a what are the differences? [20:20] dury: uname -a will show the kernel [20:20] and machine arch [20:20] and some other info [20:20] Any idea on how to debug abobe air installer, im on 64bit, need to see the error message to know which libs i need :s [20:20] can anyone here answer and window and gparted question for me [20:20] Is there an app that puts the number of new email messages inside the app's icon on the toolbar? (Like on OS X) [20:20] webpigeon_laptop: what info do you need? [20:20] !info gnubiff [20:20] gnubiff (source: gnubiff): A mail notification program for GNOME (and others). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.10-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 482 kB, installed size 1612 kB [20:21] Froogle: is there another command that show other info [20:21] !ask | Shaba1 [20:21] Shaba1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:21] dury: what info are you looking for? [20:21] Neji123, run dmesg in terminal, it'll display anything important [20:21] cat /proc/cpuinfo will show you cpu info [20:21] Froogle: about the OS [20:21] how do I enable sound in Wolfenstein ET in 9.04? [20:22] test [20:22] dury: like? [20:22] dury, lsb_release -a ? [20:22] durt, you could also install hardinfo and a few other apps that give more detaled info if you dont want to use terminal [20:22] Froogle: you already tell me cat /proc/cpuinfo [20:23] Froogle: sorry [20:23] lol [20:23] well whatever info you're looking for it's probably somewhere on your system [20:23] does anyone know how i can change my firefox settings so that it doesn't automatically put me in offline mode if it "thinks" i'm not connected to a network? [20:23] how disable splash in grub2? [20:24] Where can i format my HDDs in Linux? To EXT3? [20:24] Eslu: hello :) [20:24] Eslu: not much point now [20:24] webpigeon_laptop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/195173/ [20:24] ubuntu* [20:24] Eslu: use gparted [20:24] gparted === Petalon is now known as Kolonai [20:24] how do I enable sound in Wolfenstein ET in 9.04? [20:24] Eslu: Ext4 is pretty much stable now [20:24] ah well EXT4 then [20:24] Froogle: you right....., but you have to know the command [20:24] okay ill check gparted btw [20:24] Eslu: Yes you want to use gparted. A couple of things to remember: you cannot later partitions that you are mounted on. EXT4 is stable :) [20:24] I have a windows xp machine with a 200gb HD. I want to install ubuntu server on 25 gb of that free space. But I have to have windwos for work. If I install ubuntu and I then use gparted livecd to get that space back to windows if I need to.? [20:25] i installed samba,and cant find it under Applications tab [20:25] where do i find it :p? [20:25] cannot alter paritions* [20:25] anybody know how to enable external speakers in ubuntu? [20:25] I uninstalled mysql-server-5.1 and bugzilla3 is still complaing about downgrading from 5.1 -> 5.0 . [20:25] Shaba1, do you have another hard driver you could attach ? [20:25] Shaba1: Yes but bare minimum ubuntu will need 2GB plus your files (and the new programs you install) [20:26] Neji123, there isn't anything in there that would make me think the sound isn't working :/ [20:26] You won't find it in application's eslu. [20:26] #math [20:26] NO [20:26] I believe it's just a protocol that operates in the background. [20:26] maybe its something simple that I have forgot to do? Im new to linux and may have missed something [20:26] another HD is not a solution [20:26] Shaba1, ok [20:26] had to be on this HD [20:26] neither is and external HD [20:26] doh, so i cant chooser my workgroup anywhere m4vman? [20:26] choose* [20:27] Eslu: Not all apps have GUI (like samba) that doesn't mean you can't run it / configure it / use it [20:27] You should be able to, there's just not a way to open it directly from applications. [20:27] anybody know how to enable external speakers in ubuntu? [20:27] can someone point me to a forum topic that can help deal with wireless problems? [20:27] Shaba1, the only problem I can forsee is when you remove the ubuntu server partition you will have to reinstall the mbr for windows I believe [20:27] se puede hablar en español? [20:27] !es | sweet [20:27] sweet: 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. [20:27] Oh hell [20:28] coz_: Shaba1 That is correct. If you remove ubuntu completely grub will not be usable anymore and you need to use a windows XP system disk to restore the Master Boot Record. [20:28] ok, thx [20:28] you mean using grub right coz_ [20:28] Stronze, now that is a very very borad term :P, [20:28] guys all ym text in firefox in ubuntu is lighe blue which makes it almsot imposssible for me to see, how can i fix this> [20:28] ok I have the xp dvd [20:28] well wait [20:28] Shaba1: ... waiting... [20:28] I also have a grub live cd [20:28] hmmm [20:28] well the current problem is i enter the wap password and ubuntu changes it to something else when i try to reconnec [20:29] that would make it easier would it not? [20:29] tannersummers: Edit > Preferences > Content > Colours [20:29] Something is wrong with my sound, I can hear sound when I logout from Ubuntu, but I cant hear anything when im logged in (like play mp3/avi files or youtube) anyone know what I may have done wrong? [20:29] * Stronze is a noob linux user and trying ubuntu for the first time [20:29] Shaba1: Having a grub CD would not help you in any way if you were trying to remove an ubuntu install and reinstall the windows boot loader into the MBR [20:29] Stronze: cool [20:29] its great Stronze trust me [20:30] what another expert linux user told me [20:30] Stronze: wireless is usually a pain to set up though [20:30] Well edbian I have gparted on live cd [20:30] and grub on live cd [20:30] I uninstalled mysql-server-5.1 and bugzilla3 is still complaing about downgrading from 5.1 -> 5.0 . [20:30] anyone? [20:30] !anyone | tannersummers [20:30] tannersummers: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:30] anybody know how to enable external speakers in ubuntu? [20:31] sebse- i figured but it detects the connection but wont connect when i try the password [20:31] how do I revert a version of a program? [in my case, wine] [20:31] I could use gparted to recover/resize the ubuntu partition. but then as coz said the mbr would be wrong and grub would no longer be installed. I coudl then use the grub livecd to restore the MBR could I not? [20:31] orinoco what do you mean "enable external speakers"? [20:31] Shaba1: But if you are reinstalling the windows bootloader. Which is probably not on your live CD's correct? I understand what you are saying. You can edit the harddrive / MBR with those tools. What you are missing is the actual windows boot loader software. You're XP DVD should have it though. [20:31] Stronze: maybe useful and maybe not [20:31] tannersummers: Edit > Preferences > Content > Colours [20:31] !wireless | Stronze [20:31] Stronze: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:31] orinoco, ah open a terminal alsamixer see if the volumes are up [20:31] ah I seee [20:31] the volumes are up [20:31] edbian I am not going to do that now. [20:32] Shaba1: If you are simply resizing you won't have a problem. It's when you install grub (and ubuntu) and then try to remove them that you have a problem with the MBR [20:32] webpigeon_laptop: I got it to work, I changed it from (ALSA) to (OSS) [20:32] the integrated speakers are working [20:32] I have to clear out some space on this ntfs hd. but I will put you on notify. [20:32] Neji123, er, oss is kinda old... [20:32] Shaba1: Ok thanks :) I'll be happy to help with whatever you need :) [20:32] yes well it doesnt work with alsa, I get an error, wait i'll write it for you [20:33] when i connect the external ones to the laptop, nothing happens [20:33] sebse - the cable is to short to is for laptop since its plugged into xbox 360 and vista is running on wireless [20:33] this is the error i get with alsa: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Kunde inte öppna ljudenheten för uppspelning. [20:33] ok now tell me this and I know its a general question after I restore the windows mbr will xp see that former ubuntu partition as free space or as a seperate drive? [20:33] Neji123, tried using pulseaudio? (which sits ontop of alsa :P) [20:33] ah...does anyone know how to chancge my firefox text? I installed a ubuntu theme and on some sites that dont use there own font color, i guess it uses the system font color which is a light blue making it impossible for me to see it [20:33] Stronze: I don't know, wireless isn't my area [20:33] tannersummers: Edit > Preferences > Content > Colours. [20:33] Within Firefox [20:33] yes i tried them all.. OSS is the only thing that works [20:34] away from chat reading on forum [20:34] tonyf12, no those colors are all right and the text color is white but on some sites ik why but coems out light blue [20:34] Stronze: keep using it it's the only way to know the OS :d [20:34] hi, does someone know how to configure the update behavior in jaunty by console? [20:34] i just checked [20:34] :D [20:34] anyone know if ubuntu natively supports internet connection sharing from a wired connection to wireless?(in other words, connecting another computer to mine and allowing it to access my wifi internet connection) [20:34] just curious [20:35] Shaba1: I think we're getting confused here. In the shortest answer possible no. Windows XP does not recogniz ext2,3, or 4 partitions. It won't be a problem though because when you reinstalled the XP bootloader it would see the XP partitions and work properly. Why would you be installing the windows bootloader though with your ubuntu install still on the disk?? [20:35] donovan, there are help pages on it [20:35] webpigeon_laptop: the error I get with alsa is: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Kunde inte öppna ljudenheten för uppspelning.

Anyone know how to fix? [20:35] Neji123, its a generic error which means it can't open the audio device [20:36] I MIGHT need to get the disk space that ubuntu is on BACK to windows [20:36] Shaba1: Probably :) Explain to me again in a different way [20:36] see what I eman [20:36] mean [20:36] any idea how to fix it?

[20:39] Neji123 so we have to locate the main problem [20:39] type gparted in terminal [20:40] Neji123, try changing the setting to pulseaudio though, if it works thats the best possible option to use [20:40] type sudo gparted [20:40] okay [20:40] webpigeon_laptop: cant hear anything with pulseaudio, tried everything on the list OSS is the only thing that works :s [20:40] shadow420: any tips on how to locate it? heh [20:40] what [20:40] on [20:40] earth [20:40] Neji123, okay [20:41] now phpMyAdmin doesn't work :( [20:41] Froogle, o.o [20:41] everything just stopped working [20:41] yofel: i had ubuntu installed in a different partition. its sda2 [20:41] rarw [20:41] Froogle, it sounds like something really doesn't like your setup?

If I sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1, it goes back to the bugzilla3 installation and stops because of 5.1 -> 5.0.

[20:42] Neji123, i had some fun with pulse audio the other day. maybe i can help. [20:42] #the_conquerors [20:42] delmar: would be great, because I take it the playback on OSS isnt of the highest quality hehe [20:42] If I then go back and try install bugzilla3, it complains about the 5.1 -> 5.0 again. [20:42] mimcpher, I dont know for sure but if you are planning something like more than two monitors then you will go up against some issues [20:43] Neji123, ok. so what audio hardware do you have? [20:43] delmar: X-Fi Fatality, I downloaded the drivers from creatives website and they seem to work [20:43] coz_, I know this isn't trivial to do. But I can't hack the proprietary drivers, so I'd have to give up now.

I ended up going back to the on-board audio but also have a c-media chipset USB headset that works nice. [20:47] to* [20:47] mimcpher, for sure and that would require you using xgl I believe and that is no longe developed or supported [20:48] Neji123, sorry. didnt realise you had a creative X-Fi. im over creative. they pissed me off. [20:48] how do i uninstall wolfenstein ET?! i know the location of the folder but i don't know how to delete it. It does not have an uninstall executable [20:48] delmar: oh alright, well it works good in windows, and I can hear sound in Linux as well but only with OSS. that was what I ment with 'work'. [20:48] Froogle: it gives you option to type user and pwd [20:48] Neji123, so u have the pulseaudio icon on the bar at the top etc?

[21:09] Neji123, see if the mixing is ok [21:09] |Ryan: the first account you create on an Ubuntu machine has admin privileges [21:09] alguem do brasil ai [21:09] |Ryan: You have another account, right? One you created during installation [21:09] rennio: /join #ubuntu-br [21:09] valew [21:09] <|Ryan> Both: The account I'm using IS the first account. [21:10] is there difference in age of those disks ? [21:10] furythor: both brand new drives [21:10] strange [21:10] |Ryan: How did you install this? (what was the name of the CD, etc)? [21:10] delmar: Yeah it works like a charm now, VLC and YouTube works as well. [21:11] <|Ryan> Flannel: I downloaded and ran the raw ISO using winRAR. [21:11] one is an external firewire samsung 1TB, other internal ata samsung 160GB [21:11] Neji123, sweet. [21:11] <|Ryan> Flannel: On windows. [21:11] |Ryan: You ran the ISO? You didn't boot to it? [21:11] Neji123, so you had to manually install a creative driver that wasn't part of 9.04 right? [21:11] delmar: yes, I found it on Creatives website under their normal drivers [21:12] how do I revert a version of a program? [in my case, wine] [21:12] <|Ryan> Flannel: It wouldn't let me boot, so I ran the installer, within the ISO which copied the installation files, THEN I rebooted into Ubuntu and it installed it. [21:12] Neji123, I wonder if it's newer than the one I couldnt get to work a few months back. [21:13] |Ryan: Alright. Oh, did you do any partitioning when you did this? or is this a wubi thing? [21:13] what kind files are on those hard disks ? [21:13] delmar: It was released the 6'th november 2008 [21:13] Hey guys! I am looking for an automatic wallpaper switcher. every 5 minutes or so. [21:13] Neji123, must be the same driver then. [21:13] is there a 'proper'/recommended way to change RWIN on ubuntu (and have it persist)? [21:14] Neji123, ah I remember. the card wasnt supported by that driver. [21:14] i want to optimize my connection [21:14] How I can disable the compiz if I am not able to see more than white screen after logging in ? [21:14] <|Ryan> Flannel: Yeah! I used wubi. However, I created 2 separate partitions in Windows. [21:14] SunnyD: gbackground [21:14] sebsebseb: il fonctionne bien ? [21:14] <|Ryan> Flannel, one sec, Apparently I'm not an administrator. [21:14] @SunnyD It's included in vanilla KDE, or else use drapes. There's also some bash scripts on Google, if drapes doesn't work out [21:14] <|Ryan> Flannel: I'm gonna log. [21:14] SunnyD: what? [21:14] timmy: thanks\ [21:15] |Ryan: Alright, well, if you're not in the admin group, we can fix that. But it'll take a reboot. [21:15] Neji123, yeah im sure that was it. the card was the X-Fi Xtreme Audio and it wasn't supported by the beta driver. [21:15] furythor: the external drive is one big XFS partition, the files are images of 2 ext3 partitions, and 1 reiserfs [21:15] sebsebseb: with your name, i thought you were from quebec [21:15] SunnyD: nope [21:15] Neji123, thats why I had to give up. [21:15] delmar: oh but it isnt a beta driver now, its 1.00 [21:15] SunnyD: also this channel is meant to be English only by the way [21:15] sebsebseb: thx [21:16] I'm in gparted running off a Live CD right now, trying to resize my partitions, and there's a little line between my Windows partition and swap, and no amount of resizing or moving will let a partition cross it. What gives? [21:16] !fr > SunnyD [21:16] SunnyD, please see my private message [21:16] Shodan45_ then it can be due different file systems used, since they are different in capablities. [21:17] <|Ryan_> Flannel: I can;t login as root from the login screen [21:17] but if you move from disk to another, process is always as fast as slowest disk is reading ... [21:17] SunnyD: your name seems to be after a drink [21:17] Neji123, yep. think I had a go with that one. was just looking on my system for the download but... i musta got rid of it. [21:17] sebsebseb: hey brother, where does gbackground install to ? [21:17] How does x-chat put an icon in the top right toolbar? [21:17] tonyf12: did you manage a successful apt-get update? try it after removing bugzilla (and mysql-server) [21:17] |Ryan_: No, Ubuntu doesn't use the root account. If you're not in the admin group (which is weird), we can fix that, but it'll require a reboot [21:17] SunnyD, i'm pretty sure compiz has the ability built in [21:18] tanath: i cant use compiz [21:18] SunnyD: don't know, but should be able to open from menu, or via terminal with gbackground [21:18] SunnyD, why not? [21:18] evolution trouble! i edited some filters, then selected all items in my 'sent' folder, then attempted to apply filters via ctrl-Y -- *every* message disappeared! [21:18] tanath: old pc ? [21:18] <|Ryan> Flannel: 'reboot', as in restart or reinstall Ubuntu? [21:18] SunnyD, how old? [21:18] @xiong for undo? [21:18] SunnyD, mine's 5 years old, and runs it great [21:18] 5-6 [21:18] cankoy: No. I can't remove mysql-server. It says it is gone, and then iot says it isn't gone after I try install bugzilla3 again [21:19] <|Ryan> Wow. [21:19] <|Ryan> I loged in twice? [21:19] SunnyD, if you had gnome-do you wouldn't need to worry about where it installed to :P [21:19] tanath: do you wnat to see my lspci ? [21:19] SunnyD: Re: Compiz http://blog.tsmacdonald.com/archives/153 [21:19] SunnyD, why not [21:19] how can i open a folder as root? [21:19] Okay, so I just downloaded and installed the upgrades for the past few days, I'm not sure how far back it goes. Anyways, I was told I had to restart firefox, so I did and now nothing works right. I keep getting an "Assertion Failed" message. I attempted to open up my add-ons and disable everything, but nothing comes up. [21:19] |Ryan, it was a ghost nickname [21:19] tanath: i cannot get transaparency in terminal :9 [21:19] |Ryan: Reboot the computer (restart it), and then after the windows bootloader screen, you'll choose Ubuntu (which actually boots you to GRUB) and the grub menu is hidden by default, so you'll have to push escape at this point, and then choose "recovery console" Do you have a second computer you can be online with while doing this? or should I give you all the instructions now [21:19] Neji123, did u have much trouble finding the driver? I couldnt even find it through their site. I found it via a link in e forum pointing at the location on a creative mirror. [21:19] timmy, not enabled [21:19] tonyf12: remove bugzilla, then apt-get update. Does it succeed? [21:20] apt-get update suceeds [21:20] SunnyD, which vid drivers you using? proprietary/restricted, or os? [21:20] delmar: None at all, just went to Creative.com / Support / X-fi Fatal1ty, scrolled down to the bottom of the page selected OS Linux and there it was [21:20] <|Ryan> Flannel: Yes please, but could you in a private chat so I don't keep having to scroll? [21:20] <|Ryan> Flannel: And No, sorry. [21:20] tanath: nothing proprietary that's for sure [21:20] tonyf12: then apt-get -f install [21:20] tanath: http://pastebin.ca/1459249 [21:20] |Ryan: Alright, well, you'll want to write this down anyway. I'll pastebin it. [21:21] Then it tells me mysql-server-5.1 _is_ installed, after telling me up until that point it wasn't. [21:21] <|Ryan> Flannel: Pastebin? [21:21] SunnyD, might need to in order to get full use out of your comp [21:21] getting weirder --- found sent messages in trash and now cannot drag them out!

Linux option not available, hence why I found the card wasn't supported by the driver I found.

I can't believe I overlooked simply deleting stuff. I was so surprised by the 0 bytes I thought it must have been a virus or something! Anyway, thanks a lot! [21:57] Why aren't ubuntu's repos updated, so many programs are older versions such as specto for one [21:57] sofiankrt: what was the problem?

[21:57] which is best: qemu or virtualbox for running xp on ubuntu? [21:57] ARMENIAN, last i checked there were around 25,000 packages and each package needs a maintainer [21:57] cabrey: ohh, hmm, well I'm no programmer or anything but how could i help? [21:57] sebsebseb: free space? Right now, some 300 mb, but a couple of minutes ago 0 bytes. [21:57] jdu: virtualbox [21:58] sofiankrt: yeah how big is your partition? [21:58] ARMENIAN, you don't need to be a programmer, but you 'adopt' a program, if you will [21:58] picca: any particular reason? [21:58] Slart:but it can be done if you have a eariler package sepreatly [21:58] jdu: seems to run faster for me, and very easy to setup [21:58] sebsebseb: I'm on a Wubi system. I guess it's like 5 GB [21:58] cabrey: ohh, ok, like keep tabs on updates or w.e. [21:58] ARMENIAN, also you have to learn how to package debs, but it is actually pretty easy once you get good at it [21:58] I posted this question in the forums 5 days ago ... but no responses. I'm using Jaunty on a laptop, dual monitor to the LEFT. When I go to System/Display and configure screens as such, it makes the monitor on my LEFT the main screen. [21:58] sofiankrt: what's your set up? I mean does not sound that good, when you run out of space after a few downloads. [21:58] cabrey: is there a page you can direct me to with some info? [21:58] sofiankrt: oh Wubi hum [21:59] how do i get to the administrative tools if the taskbar is not visible? [21:59] ARMENIAN, to contributing or packaging debs? [21:59] pcgenius: true.. it might work if the previous package is in the cache too..not sure though.. but you can install an earlier package using dpkg too, if you just download the deb [21:59] cabrey: both, if possible [21:59] sebsebseb: but I had a normal installation, had the same problem (hence started using Wubi). I had like, 50 GB on that one! But yeah, it's true, I had tons of movies [21:59] picca: thanks [21:59] sebsebseb: but it could really take you by surprise at times! [21:59] !contribute | ARMENIAN [21:59] ARMENIAN: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [21:59] ARMENIAN, alright, i have to look around for documentation on packaging debs, but in the meantime, see above [21:59] Slart:yes we can do this using dpkg -i [21:59] sofiankrt: well I am glad Wubi has worked out for you without experiencing any weird can't boot it issues and such, but stuff like that can happen, which is one of the few or so reasons, why a lot of more experienced Ubuntu users, woudn't recommended Wubi [22:00] cabrey: ok, thanks [22:00] jdu: np === osiris__ is now known as osiris [22:00] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide ARMENIAN https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages [22:00] sebsebseb: I've been using a normal installation for like, 2 years, Wubi for 3 or 4 months, I've noticed absolutely no difference (except it messes up my hostname, but I haven't bothered to fix that) [22:01] what is this network called [22:01] Text is missing from Openoffice's buttons and dialog boxes. Sometimes when I mouse over buttons the text comes back. Sometimes when I mouse over buttons where there is no text, the text reappears. Sometimes when I minimize a window and then restore it, some of the missing text is displayed, and sometimes not. [22:01] Suggestions? [22:01] !freenode > myself [22:01] myself, please see my private message [22:02] bazhang: thanks :) [22:02] ARMENIAN, here we go: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete [22:02] sofiankrt: well it will run slower than a real proper install when Windows is not fragmented properly, espesailly if that real Ubuntu install is using Ext4. If something really bad happens to Windows, then it will probably happen to Wubi, as well. However in my eyes Ubuntu with Wubi is better than no Ubuntu at all. [22:02] ARMENIAN, you can also use checkinstall to make it even easier [22:02] sofiankrt: above when Windows is fragmented it might make Wubi run slower [22:03] I perfer to run Ubuntu in 'virtualbox' instead of in wubi. [22:03] how can I find something in some teext files ? [22:03] cabrey: ok ill take a look :) [22:03] i mean not file names, text in text files [22:03] Sorinello: the grep command is designed for that task. [22:03] thanks [22:03] erpo: you've been told in #openoffice.org waht you should do [22:03] sofiankrt: also if something happens to Wubi where it won't just boot, you can't just put in a Live CD, and access your files, which is something you can do, with a proper partitioned install [22:03] guntbert: I left that channel. Is there a channel log? [22:04] sebsebseb: ext4? Hmm... haven't tried it. So it's fast, eh? To be honest, I haven't noticed much difference. But now that I know what the problem is, I'll happily go back to my normal installation! [22:04] erpo: rejoin, I'll repeat for you [22:04] sofiankrt: Ext4 will be the default file system in Ubuntu 9.10, but people can have it now as well. [22:04] sofiankrt: it's rather stable now [22:04] how do I remove apt sources? [22:04] guntbert: I will. Thank you. :) [22:04] Dr_Willis: can you give me a example ? i want to scan throught multiple files [22:04] sebsebseb: hey, can't you use a Live CD with Wubi? I mean, you like, cd into C: and go into ubuntu or something, and your files should be there, right? [22:05] Sorinello: grep is documented in its man pages and in 10000000000's of web sites [22:05] grep pattern filename [22:05] tuxFan, comment them out using # in /etc/apt/sources.list [22:05] sofiankrt: well yeah, but a Live CD can't just access the wubi file, that it puts into Windows [22:05] sofiankrt: it can only access real proper partitions [22:05] Sorinello: theres books written about grep and its companion tools awk and sed. :) [22:05] To NumLock initiate active on shell (bash), just using 'numlockx'? [22:06] sofiankrt: Ubuntu 9.04 with Ext4, boots much quicker than with Ext3 [22:06] sebsebseb: Oh. I've actually been putting symlinks in my Wubi partition to my actual files in the normal partition! So yeah, not much of a problem there. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help! I'll try to delete a couple of files now [22:06] I have a trailer in 720p in .wmv format - How can I convert it to as close quality in .avi with ffmpeg? [22:06] <_rowena_> reenode.net [22:06] sofiankrt: when you do your next partitioned install, a seperate home is probably a good idea [22:06] sebsebseb: I don't suppose you could *change* the filesystem on an installation, could you? [22:07] sofiankrt: 12GB or so for / and big seperate home, and sure a swap [22:07] yo [22:07] Jimmey, #ffmpeg is well versed in video formats and encoding options, try that channel for an optimal conversation [22:07] conversion* [22:07] sebsebseb: yeah, I do have a separate /home, but it got clogged up! Was torrenting something [22:07] cabrey, will do. Thanks [22:07] sofiankrt: well wubi I think is bsically a Ext2 partition, can't change wubi's filesystem or whatever it is, to something else. [22:08] sofiankrt: Ext3 can be converted to Ext4, but it won't be quite the real thing [22:08] sebsebseb: What exactly do you lose by converting? [22:08] Hi [22:08] sebsebseb: no, I'm not gonna use Wubi anymore, I'm just using it as a temporary system. Now I know what the problem is, I can go back to my original installation. But how do I convert my Ext3 to Ext4? [22:08] Hi, I'm having some trouble install 8.04 from a USB stick. I drops me of at the initramfs and says: "EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option..." any ideas? [22:08] y [22:08] sebsebseb: is it risky? [22:08] how do i stall a tar.gz theme? [22:09] sofiankrt, not risky, you just won't reap the full benefits of the ext4 filesystem [22:09] sofiankrt: not sure how up to date the release notes are for 9.04, but it explains there, how to convert and such. [22:09] jasonX do you have gnome looks enabled [22:09] In a script I want to store fortune output to a variable. What does that line look like? [22:09] magician0617 good question :S [22:10] cabrey, sebsebseb: ok, thanks a lot! [22:10] JasonX sorry i meant ubuntu looks [22:10] fortuneoutput=fortune [22:10] sofiankrt: I said stable sure, but probably more stable with the proper 2.6.30 kernel which will be in 9.10 [22:10] magician0617 good question again [22:10] Is there a way to control the CPU fan and tell it to keep cooling instead of reading the temperature of the system? [22:10] sebsebseb: so I might as well wait for that? [22:10] magician0617 how do i tuirn that on [22:10] sofiankrt: 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 have some patches or whatever. [22:10] sebsebseb: it's not worth it to convert now? [22:10] sofiankrt, IMHO you should wait for 9.10 and do a clean format [22:11] sofiankrt: well the Fedora 11 people think Ext4 is really stable now, hence why there distro will use it by default, but when it comes to the more cutting edge stuff, Ubuntu is basically always a bit behind distros such as Fedora [22:11] JasonX go to add remove and search for it if it is not there go to your package manager and search for it. Enable it and I will explain the rest once it is done [22:11] sofiankrt: You won't get ext4 until you either convert your ext3 or reinstall the os on an ext4 partition. Waiting for ubuntu 9.10 and upgrading will not make it ext4 [22:11] I try to add a link in software sources -" deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ubuntu main" but its broken and I cant remove it , even worst its not listed in there any ideas? [22:11] Hi. My Jaunty install just completely crapped out on me. I can't even boot into recovery mode - I'm in a Live CD now, can anyone help me check my disk for errors or direct me to error logs where I could troubleshoot this futher? [22:11] Anyone here that could help me with Samba? I have problems sharing folders without getting the login propmt? [22:11] prompt* [22:11] tuxFan, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list place # in front of sources you wish not to be read; save and close, then sudo apt-get update [22:12] sofiankrt: I am currently running 9.04 with / as Ext4, my former home partition as Ext3, and another data partition as Ext3 [22:12] sebsebseb: What do you miss by converting ext3 to ext4? I hear all the time that it is not the same as a fresh ext4 partitioning but why?? [22:12] sofiankrt: I think the main thing is to have / in Ext4 :) [22:12] edbian, ext2 -> ext3 was a minor change, but ext3 -> ext4 was a large rewrite [22:12] edbian, hence you [22:12] cabrey: yeah, I've always had this question. So okay, I've got my files, Music, Documents, etc, which I can easily back up. But what about the other things? My firefox bookmarks? Pidgin logs? Compiz settings? Is there an easy way to move all this stuff into another system without copying the whole /home? [22:12] tuxFan, please keep it in channel (ie not PM) [22:12] Hi. My Jaunty install just completely crapped out on me. I can't even boot into recovery mode - I'm in a Live CD now, can anyone help me check my disk for errors or direct me to error logs where I could troubleshoot this futher? [22:13] magician0617 i am searching for "gnome looks right" [22:13] edbian, hence you're trying to convert an entirely different filesystem to a new one without losing data, so they're have to be some features disabled [22:13] sebsebseb: so basically, the good thing about Ext4 is booting speed, right? No other noticeable advantage? [22:13] sofiankrt: ~/.program name for the most part [22:13] sofiankrt: Pidgin the .purple folder can just be copied and used on a new install no problem [22:13] edbian, FS's can become quite complex, and its a bit offtopic [22:13] sofiankrt: for example firefox info at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information [22:13] JasonX Search for Ubuntu Looks (my bad I told you the wrong thing) [22:13] sofiankrt: Firefox and Thunderbird and such well, it's not quite as simple as just copying the profile, and having the new install picking up on it no problem. Ext4 is better with bigger files as well [22:13] sebsebseb: is there no program which compiles all this stuff for you? There should be some sort of "important info backup" program out there [22:13] sofiankrt: : i notice it use a few less system resources for me [22:14] sofiankrt: there are backup programs [22:14] !backup > sofiankrt [22:14] sofiankrt, please see my private message [22:14] magician0617 no "ubuntu looks" found in ad/remove [22:14] Anyone here that could help me with Samba? I have problems sharing folders without getting the login prompt? [22:14] thiebaude: when installed on /? So there are no advantages to using it on /home? [22:15] sofiankrt: All of those settings and stuff are in /home They + your personal files are "the entire home" [22:15] JasonX go to system>administration>synaptic package manager and look there [22:15] bazhang find it , but how do I open it as superuser? [22:15] sofiankrt: i only installed it on / then formatted / [22:15] cabrey: so basically, I would package a file and submit it, right? [22:15] edbian: but there are a few things on my /home that it'd just be wasteful to backup, right? Isn't there a program that filters these out? [22:15] tuxFan, gksudo gedit (gksudo for graphical apps) [22:15] a program* [22:15] hi can i use ubuntu on linux.nds [22:15] !sudo | tuxfan [22:15] tuxfan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [22:16] edbian and I guess you as well sofiankrt no I am not saying go and put on the 9.10 alpha2 ,but yes go to the ext4 as default section on this page. http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha2 [22:16] thiebaude: ok, I'll try Ext4ing / when 9.10 comes out [22:16] sofiankrt: you can do / now [22:16] ARMENIAN, yes, you would become a maintainer of that package and it would be on you to update it so people don't come in here asking why packages are out of date ;) [22:16] hello i would like to use the ext atime option [22:16] sofiankrt: yea, on 9.10 its default [22:16] what's the de facto guide to follow [22:16] sebsebseb: and it's not risky? [22:16] i dont want to screw anything up :) [22:16] sofiankrt: as for /home in Ext3 well that's ok for now [22:17] can i use ubuntu on Linux.nds ? [22:17] sofiankrt: i use it on the whole drive [22:17] Anyone here that could help me with Samba? I have problems sharing folders without getting the login prompt? But i dont have any problems with login prompts when i enter the computer at Network in Windows? [22:17] DsBoy: what's that [22:17] bazhang , killer [22:17] DsBoy: what's that? [22:17] thax man [22:17] a linux homebrew [22:17] I have two nic, both works. But while I use them together, it is not working [22:17] cabrey: ok, makes sense, but in theory, couldn't a person who wanted, put malicious code in the program then compile it and submit it? [22:17] whats a linux homebrew [22:17] ifconfig displays only one nic, but not other [22:17] sounds like a beer [22:17] For ds [22:17] mmm beer [22:17] sofiankrt: I think Ext4 is fine in 9.04, just if a later kernel gets installed maybe need Grub 2 installed really [22:17] how to enable both nic??? [22:18] !beer > rski [22:18] rski, please see my private message [22:18] sebsebseb: what are you talking about ? [22:18] ARMENIAN, there are always testers and plus, we would hope that those people wouldn't do that and if they did, there would probably be legal consequences [22:18] sebsebseb: ok, there's another problem. Just before I got the 0 bytes thing, I was apt-getting a flight simulator. So I tried doing sudo apt-get remove and autoremove, but it didn't change anything. How do I know it's been completely removed? [22:18] I want to store the entire output of fortune to a variable in a script. Something like $fortvar=$( fortune ) only one that works. :) Any help? [22:18] DsBoy: I've never heard of such [22:18] sofiankrt: just stay with Ext3 for now probably easier [22:18] try uhm a=`fortune` ? [22:18] cabrey: ok, that's good, especially since there are testers [22:19] how do I mount my laptop's harddrive from the Live CD so I can backup the data before a fresh install? [22:19] K, I've been having the same problem for about a week now, and not one update, post, or message has helped. It's completely crippled my computer to the point that I can't even log in. Every time I log in, it tells me the X server is already running on display 0:. It asks me if I want to start it on a different display number. If I say yes, it goes back to gdm and tells me when I log in the same error, except with :1 an [22:19] d so on. If i say no, it just gives me the same error. This should never happen in a mainstream OS, ever, and I'm completely disgusted by the fact that it's stayed a problem this long. Any solutions? Anyone? [22:19] fortune is the operation that returns the string I want to store [22:19] sofiankrt: then when you upgrade to 9.10 later this year ext4 will be default [22:19] ARMENIAN, you can practice packaging with your own PPA [22:19] CSSnub, yeah that works [22:19] oh ok [22:19] a=`fortune` echo $a [22:19] ty :) [22:19] backticks though, not single quotes [22:19] thiebaude: when I upgrade the system, it'll automatically convert my filesystem? Or do I have to do a fresh install? [22:19] ah ok [22:19] cabrey: yeah I'm going to give it a try now with specto :D [22:20] sofiankrt: you need to do a clean install for proper Ext4 support. so if your clean install is Ubuntu 9.10 well it does Ext4 by default [22:20] someone can i use ubuntu on Linux.nds ? [22:20] sofiankrt: yep as sebsebseb is saying [22:20] sebsebseb: but does an upgrade attempt to change the file system? [22:20] sofiankrt: no [22:20] sofiankrt: nope. [22:21] Darael: could you expand on your question please ? [22:21] cabrey: but, wait, if theres a .deb package on their site, doesn't that mean there's a compiled package ready to go already?

[22:23] thanks all :) [22:23] DsBoy, no not possible with the amount of ram involved [22:23] Hi [22:23] ikonia: ah - I se - no worie. [22:23] A wine program is saying I have only 4gb of disk space left and wont allow me to install a program since it requires 5 gb. I have, in reality, over 100 gigs of extra space. Why is this happening? [22:23] ARMENIAN, i'm not exactly sure in those situations, but you might be able to [22:23] stealth-: wine uses a virtual file system to act as a virtual "C" drive for your applications, depends how you setup wine [22:24] ikonia: well I looked at the winecfg program, and there didnt seem to be any limitations set. [22:24] Could anyone please help me setup Samba for Windows Sharing? I'm trying to make insecure samba sharing for my home, which doesn't require any username or passwords at all to create&read files on it? Currently i have no sucess, im stuck with login prompts with my shared folders.

[22:27] edbian: linux port for the DS [22:28] ikonia.. :P [22:28] is anyone here that can help me with aircrack-ng [22:28] DsBoy: Ubuntu are DSLinux are both variations on Linux. You cannot run one on the other. [22:28] last night it had 1337 [22:28] I have a quick scripting question. [22:28] mlissner, bash script? [22:28] thanks [22:28] I'm trying to do message=$(cat /dev/stdin) [22:29] Unfortunately though, when I do that, it removes the newline characters. [22:29] cabrey: yep [22:29] mlissner: $ goes in front message to make it a variable right? [22:29] how change my usr password? [22:29] DsBoy: use the useradmin gui [22:29] mlissner, #bash is fantastic for scripting help :) if you don't get any help here [22:29] edbian, I don't think so, when assigning variables, right? [22:29] Where [22:30] mlissner: you're right [22:30] cabrey: good to know. Hadn't tries that yet. [22:30] DsBoy: from the terminal: passwd or use the users and groups program in System>administration>Users and groups [22:30] mlissner: I'm not sure that was 1/2 guess :) try #bash [22:30] DsBoy: what version of ubuntu are you using ?

[22:37] rski: The man pages says to use relatime intstead of noatime. I do not see that writeback option anywhere though. [22:37] Chaorain, you might want to try an xfs specific channel [22:37] Chaorain, i've sent people to #xfs before and they've gotten their issues resolved === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [22:39] You just dont hear a lot about xfs lately [22:39] Dr_Willis, yea i think ext4 & btrfs are going to dominate [22:39] hi, win7 comes without the InternetExploder in Europe, because they may not include it. Is Ubuntu allowed to include Firefox because it's not their prosuct or because Ubuntu is free? [22:40] cowgarden: I believe it is because ubuntu is not a monopoly :) [22:40] cowgarden: Ubuntu can include Firefox no problem, because it's not Debian :d [22:40] cowgarden: because theres no law saying it cant include it. :) [22:40] <_dr> hi, is there someling like a changelog for beta and daily snapshots? [22:40] cowgarden: and ubuntu doesn't own firefox [22:40] Have a blank screen after installing Nvidia driver 96.43.11 and reboot. Using Recovery boot to repair. Suspect setting issue. Please advise. [22:40] cowgarden: Ubuntu includes several different browsers, you can use any of them [22:40] cabrey, thanks have you tried http://www.ufsexplorer.com/ before? [22:40] Walex, no, just Firefox is preinstalled [22:41] cowgarden: it's also really easy to install other browsers like Epiphay. Windows doesn't natively let you install other browsers directly. they have to have their own installation utilities to install. [22:41] Chaorain, nope, only stick to the ext{x} series [22:41] PhotoJim, thats right [22:41] btw, whats a good lightweight browser? (a bit more advanced than link2) [22:41] cowgarden, graphical? [22:42] cowgarden: Windows 7 without IE8 I am not sure about that [22:42] cowgarden: for console? lynx. [22:42] cabrey, yes [22:42] orrie, grafical :) [22:42] i saw that ;) [22:42] cowgarden, well the chrome preview is fantastic and blows FF away [22:42] I'm having issues with my default keyring, I dont ever remember setting a password for it but It doesnt accept any password I enter when it prompts to be unlocked. [22:42] cowgarden, but there is also epiphany [22:42] strangely enough, all my keys work fine without unlocking it [22:42] cabrey: still better to promote Firefox, beause of browser market share reasons [22:42] cabrey, I fear chrome :) [22:43] cowgarden, why? [22:43] thank you for the help, Cya peace [22:43] sebsebseb, no as long as IE doesn't have it, i dont care who does [22:43] I'm sorry to bother you with such a trivial question, but the first time I installed 9.04, my wireless was working, when I reinstalled the system it now has it listed as an unknown device. There is traffic coming, but it doesn't recognize it as a wireless device [22:43] cowgarden: google is going to eat your brain ;-) [22:43] cabrey, I don't know. I shouldn't since its open-source but google .... [22:43] calc, yea, I is my brain by now /me is using gmail [22:43] google is open source [22:44] thiebaude, chrome, not google :) [22:44] cowgarden, erm well chromium is the open source version of chrome if you prefer that [22:44] Google's stuff is closed source most of it [22:44] !ot [22:44] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:44] sebsebseb, ot-ing yourself? [22:44] cowgarden: no ot'ing the whole group [22:45] cowgarden: ,but without the names hum [22:45] !ot | edbian [22:45] edbian, please see my private message [22:45] sebsebseb: It's kinda fun [22:45] my office is such a mess its hard to even know where to start cleaning, heh /me wanders off to clean it... somehow [22:45] I posted this question in the forums 5 days ago ... but no responses. I'm using Jaunty on a laptop, dual monitor to the LEFT. When I go to System/Display and configure screens as such, it makes the monitor on my LEFT the main screen. [22:45] sebsebseb: haha [22:46] hey how do I get this Compiz thing to work ? ? ? [22:46] hou5ton: Just flip it? Make the dual monitor to the right? [22:46] I want the cube display [22:47] JasonX: Are you getting that fun little "cannot be enabled" message? [22:47] how can we make the dual monitor to the right?????/ [22:47] edbian: I've tried that ... and it does indeed then make the MAIN monitor the laptop one, which it is supposed to be, but then to go from the laptop monitor to the dual, you actually take the mouse the opposite direction. [22:48] edbian good question, i havent attemped anything as yet [22:48] can I make evince dual view show both the first and second pages first up? [22:48] JasonX: Alrighty then. Before we start what kind of video card do you have? [22:48] edbian but i do know that my screen doesnt rotate and flip like my brothres [22:48] JasonX: Well we'll see about that... [22:48] edbian , on a netbook (acer aspireone) [22:48] Stringz: If you have an Nvidia, then write nvidia-settings in the terminal [22:48] i have 2 ubuntu machines on the same network. how can I ping them by hostname instead of by ip address? [22:49] JasonX: I have the very same netbook! [22:49] JasonX: And yes compiz works :) [22:49] gmap: hostname.local [22:49] JasonX: Are you running ubuntu 9.04?? [22:49] edbian ok well is there a keyboard combination i need to press to rotate the screens ? ? [22:49] does anyone have any tips on getting my wireless recognized? When I look at it as an unknown connection, I see traffic. Yet it doesn't recognize it as a wireless device in the connection manager...which is strange, because on the last install it did :/ [22:50] Stringz: Or you could fix this in System > Usersomethingoptions > Display [22:50] has anyone noticed any freezing issues with Jaunty? I find that my system is freezing randomly... I think it might be related to evince. [22:50] JasonX: you need to change some compiz settings to get a cube instead of a wall [22:50] JasonX: Yeah but we have to turn compiz on first. Go to System -> Preferences -> Apperance -> Desktop Effects Tab [22:50] it's weird... the system freezes then reboots itself [22:50] help: i have the newest version of ubuntu netbook remix and i want to make a custom folder to add to the right side of the panel... i made a folder and dragged it over and so far it displays the folder, but when i click it, it doesnt open... any suggestions? the folder i dragged over is working properly because the files in there are readable, but to access them i have to go through [home] then click on the folder manually... i ju [22:50] st want to be able to click on the folder and for it to automatically open for a quicker way to access it... [22:50] mweichert_, mine is hella laggy :p [22:51] I'm having problems with Nvidia driver install of 96.43.11. After install it only shows a blank screen on reboot. Can use grub recovery to fix back to default driver. Fresh install. Thoughts? [22:51] hmmmm.. I get that.. thanks [22:51] calc do i have configure /etc/hosts on each machine to bind the ip to the hostname? [22:51] edbian ok, and it needs to be "extra" selected right/.? [22:51] roxie: make a script that launches nautilus with the folder name as an argument to open it. perhaps... [22:52] gmap: think so [22:52] worked. Thank you [22:52] JasonX: yeah. Does it work or does it error out? (It should work) [22:52] orrie, so that means i need static IP's? I cannot use a DHCP router to assign ips? [22:52] Dr_Willis: how do you do that??? i am new to ubuntu... [22:52] edbian, JasonX: in some cases even "extra only gives the wall rather than the cube [22:53] edbian i have it selected, ok my screen (when i drag it now woobles) [22:53] JasonX: They're right but we'll get to that part [22:53] hola [22:53] gmap: You can use DHCP since it binds the host to localhost [22:53] or something like that [22:53] roxie: time to learn some shell basics.. make a text file with 2 lines, first one #!/bin/bash, 2nd line nautilus path/to/dir/to/open & [22:53] JasonX: Yeah which is badass right? Right. Ok now you need to install the compiz config settings manager from the repos. Do you know how to install software from the repos? [22:53] roxie: or just use the bookmarks feature of nautilus.... thats even easier [22:53] roxie, you could create a Desktop Launcher [22:53] edbian i have it selected, ok my screen (when i drag it now woobles) [22:54] for the netbook remix - i disabled that annoyhint netbook interfacce [22:54] Dr_Willis: how do i use the bookmarks feature of nautilus??? i am using ubuntu netbook remix [22:54] edbian repo as in synaptic ? [22:54] it's ok orrie. I am using dell... [22:54] I am pretty sure, I don't have nivedia [22:54] gmap: some routers wcan be configured to always assign a given MAC address the same IP. It wouldn't bind to hostname, but to network adapter, but that's probably enough [22:54] JasonX: Yeah, the repos are accessed through synaptic [22:54] roxie: you are using nautilus as your file manager.. run a file manager.. explore it.. you can add shortcits to the left side panel, or the the bookmarks menus... [22:54] JasonX: There are other ways too but synaptic will work fine [22:55] JasonX: search: "compiz config settings manager" or something like that [22:55] roxie, to add bookmarks, press "Ctrl+D", or go "Bookmarks->Add Bookmark" [22:55] edbian, JasonX: the package is "compizconfig-settings-manager" IIRC [22:55] Linux the 'expore and learn OS!' [22:55] roxie: you are using nautilus as your file manager.. run a file manager.. explore it.. you can add shortcits to the left side panel, or the the bookmarks menus... [22:56] JasonX: Ok now get ready cause the compiz config settings manager (CCSM) is a massive complex GUI for configuring compiz. Each plugin is listed in there and it can be overwhelming at first. [22:56] roxie: yes... add a bookmark... [22:56] edbian ok have the selected repo. and then [22:56] hola...alguien que hable castellano [22:56] Dr_Willis: yes i have done that... now the folder shows but when i click on it, the folder doesnt open [22:56] JasonX: You installed it? [22:56] edbian installin Phythin-compiz [22:56] roxie: it opens here for me.. well it goes to the location i guess you can say... [22:56] edbian: I realise I'm butting in a lot here, but the "simple-ccsm" might be better if we're just looking for the cube without the enormous levels of control in ccsm [22:57] alguien que hable español [22:57] roxie: i open a file manager, click on the location in the left panel.. it goes there... [22:57] JasonX: get simple-ccsm [22:57] Darael: Thank you I have never heard of that! [22:57] estoy en un aprieto...me puede dar alguien una ayudita [22:57] edbian: it adds a "custom" section to the desktop effects setting, with a simplified ccsm [22:58] edbian installing it now [22:58] Darael: Awesome thank you! That is perfect! [22:58] edbian: and because it depends on the full ccsm, people can get used to it and move on easily if they want more control [22:58] i have done the bookmark thing.. but still doesnt work! [22:59] Darael: Maybe you want to help JasonX from here on out? I am not running ubuntu (I'm on debian) and I have never seen simple-ccsm before. [22:59] roxie: then you need to clarify what is is doing.. I click on the bookmark and it goes to the location.. You mean to say it dosent go to the location or what exactly? [22:59] has anyone recovered data from an XFS partition before? [22:59] darael :D hi, so im in synaptic [23:00] how can I get ahold of this fix: "This bug was fixed in the package python-support - 0.8.7ubuntu4" ? [23:00] edbian: right then, sure - i'm in Ubuntu at the moment, so it might indeed be helpful [23:00] Darael: Thanks :) [23:00] is there anyway to unmount a drive from terminal.. [23:00] JasonX: OK, in the small search box at the top, type "simple"ccsm (no quotes) [23:00] Stringz: Yes! the umount command! [23:00] Dr_Willis: ok i bookmarked a folder [the one i want to add to the 'quicklaunch panel' or whatever its called] and it placed it on the panel... but now when i click it, it doesnt open, it just says 'loading folder' [23:00] tried man mount, but not working [23:00] Stringz: umount [23:00] Dr_Willis: yes i guess you could say it doesnt go to the location [23:00] what should be the format... [23:01] Stringz: umount /dev/hdd [23:01] thanks edbain [23:01] Stringz: or sudo umound /path /to/mountpoint [23:01] darael ok simple ccsm and install [23:01] Stringz: With the partition number that is [23:01] JasonX: aye [23:02] darael ok installed [23:02] Dr_Willis: ok i figured it out... thanks!!! i had to change the name bc it had a ['] in it [23:02] If i want to remove files from FOO.r(0-10) eg. *.01 to *.10 what would the command be [23:02] thanks everyone!!! [23:02] frankS2: mv FOO.r* ? [23:02] people, I've read dozens of posts about grub / dual boot / winXP but I still can't get it working. Grub does point at the right windows disk/partition but I get "NTLDR is missing" when win tries to boot... what can i do? [23:02] how do i install audacious [23:03] JasonX: OK. so if you go back to system->preferences->appearence->visual effects, there should now be a "custom" section [23:03] Steffan_: no that will delete all .r* files i just want from 0-10 [23:03] marcvangenda Use Wubi :P [23:03] tannersummers, sudo apt-get install audacious ? [23:03] tannersummers: sudo apt-get install audacious [23:03] marcvangend: Are you able to boot ubuntu? [23:03] in terminal [23:03] if my drive's mounted under... /media/ should I type it like unmount /media/[HDD DriveName] [23:03] frankS2: you can't afaik.

[23:03] ofcourse you can with some regexp [23:03] ty [23:03] Steffan_: why dont stop answering [23:03] Stringz: No, I am pretty sure you umount the device name. So like for me I would sudo umount /dev/sda1 [23:03] darael ok yes there is, [23:03] frankS2: learn yourself :) [23:04] frankS2: man mv [23:04] JasonX: the "preferences" button under "custom" will get you a config box [23:04] Stringz: man umount [23:04] Steffan_: haha man mv wont tell me regexps you silly fuck [23:04] frankS2: FOO.r0{0..9} FOO.r10 [23:04] !language | frankS2: [23:04] frankS2: Please don't swear / insult other [23:04] frankS2:: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

So, both work, but once I start on the ubuntu disk, I can't get to the windows disk [23:04] JasonX: and under the "desktop" tab, you have a drop-down menu to choose "desktop wall" or "desktop cube", or something to that effect [23:04] thanks geirha [23:05] tried that... the terminal said...No manual entry for unmount [23:05] Stringz: its umount (not unmount) [23:05] Stringz, umount [23:05] marcvangend: What does your menu.lst look like?

[23:06] edbian: http://pastebin.com/m3c06174e [23:06] tritium: appreciated :) [23:06] JasonX: other than that, have a play. If you're feeling adventurous, try compizconfig settings manager under system->preferences for some real fine control [23:07] the terminal say now.. /media/MyMDD is not in the fstab (and you are not root)..

You map it one way and then another? [23:08] JasonX, if you decide that meet me in #compiz [23:09] when I redirect tcpdump's stdout to a file, I can't open it in wireshark, but when I -w it to a file, I can....is there some option you can use with tcpdump to make it dump raw packets to stdout instead of parsing them?

And thanks again [23:10] edbian: source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How_to_dual-boot_Ubuntu_and_XP_after_installing_them_separately_on_two_HDs [23:11] I don't know how open jdk got installed [23:11] why can't I find openJdk in package manager? [23:12] O_O [23:12] marcvangend: The only thing I see wrong is that that tutorial specifically says to make the map lines "the last two lines" Try that. Other than that I don't know. It all looks right to me.

[23:13] Irssi isent really a IM client. :) its an IRC client [23:14] Dr_Willis: true. [23:14] Sarge_TJ: check out centerim [23:14] edbian: yes, it's there. You know, the funny thing is that the error "NTLDR is missing" is generated by... NTLDR! [23:14] So that's why Im sure im in the right partition [23:14] im only on 3MB/1MB :( [23:14] marcvangend: Not gonna lie I don't even know what the stupid NTLDR is? NT-Loader? Windows boot loader? === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [23:15] Dr_Willis: I keep forgetting because there's a Jabber plugin, an of course, through that... [23:15] NTLDR is the boot loader thing for windows. [23:15] edbian: you guessed right [23:15] mmm [23:15] Hi! What's the default username/password for the live CD? I'm trying to back up my harddrive [23:15] hey, uh, blender.org is still down [23:15] should just be able to sudo w/ no password on live cd sagredo [23:16] sagredo: username on the live cd is "ubuntu" - no idea about the password though [23:16] Pilela_Iralem I'm logging in over the network [23:16] Pilela_Iralem to back up the contents of the harddrive to another PC [23:16] use passwd and set a password then [23:16] marcvangend: I do see some confusion. When you install ubuntu and windows xp on 1 harddrive. you replace the NTLDR with GRUB. AFAIK you don't point a bootloader at another bootloader. [23:16] Pilela_Iralem what's the default username [23:16] ubuntu [23:17] edbian: the only thing I can think of now, is that it might be a problem that ubuntu is on an IDE disk, while Windows is on SATA [23:17] when logged in as ubuntu, just type passwd and you can set a password [23:17] Pilela_Iralem Thanks this is a really exotic error I'm just wiping the whole system [23:17] edbian: no, they're on separate disks [23:17] np sagredo [23:18] marcvangend: That really shouldn't matter. Yeah I know they're on separate disks. But you only need 1 boot loader in your entire system. I know that with an all linux system with 2 harddrives you would install GRUB into the MBR of 1 drive and then it is capable of booting system on the other disk [23:18] okay, I'm running Interpid Ibex, Do I have to do a fresh install, or can I update from II? [23:18] I mean [23:18] For [23:18] 9.04 [23:18] shadiko: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:18] edbian: GRUB can't load Windows directly, so with the chainloader+1 command, you tell it to chain another bootloader [23:19] marcvangend: Ok. I don't know enough to help anymore. :( Sorry [23:19] edbian: that's okay, thanks for your time and effords [23:19] marcvangend: NP [23:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7451841 Anyone that can help me on this one? :-) [23:20] shadiko: you _can_ do an upgrade (should appear in the update manager) but many people recommend a fresh install, especially if you have a separate /home [23:20] orrie: Sometimes the bottleneck is the read/write of the harddrive or some other component. [23:21] My connection keeps getting refused to use scp to log into the LiveCD [23:21] orly [23:21] shadiko: many people have painless upgrades, but YMMV, which is why a fresh install preserving /home is often safer [23:21] yarly [23:21] actually im writing an answer on it now [23:21] orrie: There are many many many possible bottlenecks in a system. Google is your friend :) [23:21] try apt-get install -y openssh-server [23:21] orrie: You're writing an answer?

[23:37] my family already blames Ubuntu for everything that goes wrong with computers it runs on.... my dad even thought it was the reason a CD ROM drive couldn't read DVDs [23:37] Myrtti: Intel... some crappy one with crappy drivers though [23:37] !intel > meoblast001 [23:37] meoblast001, please see my private message [23:37] Myrtti: it's a 3D accelerator but the resolution is all messed up (driver bug) and the 3d accel doesn't even work (driver bug) [23:37] so i'm assuming there are even more (driver bug)s [23:37] !intel > bernz [23:37] bernz, please see my private message [23:37] meoblast001: sometimes tho, i think it is ubuntu.... like sometimes my usb ports will stop working on one motherboard, but it doesn't do this with windows [23:38] ... or not ubuntu, but some kinda driver (proprietary?)

I was too lazy to do it any other way [23:41] screw it i can't figure it out [23:41] i'll tell her we have to reinstall [23:41] Darael: no i am asking a special question, i have some problems on my sound card and i cant remember alsa update code in terminal [23:41] geirha: i don't personally know every ubuntu user so i wouldn't know [23:42] what do you mean darael === Flo_Rida is now known as TheFloridaKid [23:42] meoblast001: I mean on that particular system.

Immediately after logging in, open a terminal and run "tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/.xsession-errors" Then see what messages pops up when the mouse stops working [23:44] hi everybody [23:44] hi [23:44] geirha: i can't figure out how to scroll up in a terminal an i was slapping the keyboard when i was in aptitude to figure out how to get it to work [23:44] in a real term [23:44] I have a laptop HP dv6000 and I've installed Ubuntu 9 [23:44] noti n x? [23:44] meoblast001: Shift+Page up/down [23:44] FloridaVoter: read terminal [23:45] is that in the synaptic package manager [23:45] fedel what do you have a problem that needs assistance [23:45] meoblast001: im not sure i understand, you need to read something in the term you need to scroll to see? [23:45] I've noticed that when it's using the battery It don't boot autocamatically. [23:45] HMMM [23:45] interesting [23:45] FloridaVoter: aptitude search xorg [23:46] Where is java 1.6jdk home? [23:46] heyheyhey, is there a way to get my vlc integrated? i get seperate windows, the video itself and then the controlls [23:46] Is there a settings ive missed? [23:46] meoblast001: shift + pgup /down work? [23:46] i want controls in fullscreen also, when mouse is moved etc [23:46] I type locate java but it lists all kind of lines but not the home [23:46] found it . but another thing im doing is using multiple sound cards to record different instruments [23:46] FloridaVoter: shut the system down.. let me go turn it back on [23:47] I must press and hold a key on keyboard to load ubunto [23:47] Alsa automatically installed , and i tried using Andour to record but jack isnt working properlly [23:47] Does someone Know why it happens? [23:47] ouch... hit my knee off a desk [23:48] toenail: well, I did it in a terminal with "sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop", but you can do the same thing in Synaptic. Note that using aptitude would later let you "sudo aptitude remove ubuntustudio-desktop" to get rid of it all if you wanted, but synaptic probably wouldn't. Also note that getting studio this way leaves you with some other stuff not normally in Ubuntu studio from the plain Ubuntu install, like gnome-games [23:48] is there a way to not have my two windows seperated in VLC? the video itself and the controls [23:48] meoblast001: We only do ubuntu support here. Can't help you mend your knee [23:48] ok [23:48] hello... i have a strange problem.. I'm running dual screens on an nvidia card (everything works just fine!) and i just got flash to work in fullscreen (disabled GPU verification to force hardware acceleration) but now when i go fullscreen the video only occupies part of the screen (although the rest is black)... has anyone encountered this? it seems to only happen with youtube [23:48] fede2, no I am not familiar with that issue sorry however someone may be here if not... try #linux although this may be specific to ubuntu [23:48] norpan111: there used to be, but it was disabled because of a bug. it'll be re-enabled later, sround when VLC reaches version 1.0 [23:49] meoblast001: Creating a new user (for testing) and logging in with that user to see if the same problem arises would be helpful too [23:49] Darael, ah thanks, i was thinking i was an idiot. Thank you very much for the information =) good bye! [23:49] ok . do you think doing that will install everything properly so i can shoot for what im doing [23:50] i can scroll... but my blood pressure is slowly rising and i definitely don't feel like dealing with this BS so i'm going to do a reinstall [23:50] if my mom doesn't like it and wants to switch to windows she can install it herself (i'd love to see her get passed the 3rd installation screen) [23:51] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:51] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[23:54] ty [23:54] What would you guys say is the best irc client for linux? [23:55] !best | SyphonSilent [23:55] SyphonSilent: 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. [23:55] SyphonSilent, Sorry, i don't know about best. [23:55] SyphonSilent: If you're looking for a replacement, check out irssi.

[23:56] I dont think my copy of ubuntu has a default irc app [23:56] SyphonSilent: i use the built in irc client in pidgin. good enough for me [23:56] oh pidgin?
