[02:00] @dannyD1: what do i do then sir , to fix this [02:00] oh ok thanks for the advice...I just found what is more likely to be the real copy of xp that came with the computer. Maybe that might work better. I'll try virtualing again. [02:01] oenone1: what type of card? Nvidia? [02:01] J_Litewski: does your camera only let you delete the last picture you took? [02:01] @dannyD1: ati radeon 4870 [02:01] sandy_: let's find out how much RAM you have first, and hopefuly someone else can help us understand the output of the command [02:01] sandy_: My recommendation would be VirtualBox...just my 2c [02:01] oenone1: and you downloaded the driver from their site or from synaptic? === kira is now known as Guest36311 [02:02] sandy_: run free in the terminal and pastebin the output, and hopefuly someone else can tell you how much RAM you have [02:02] from the asti website [02:02] ati [02:02] after that it went sour [02:02] unop: you can help with finding out how much RAM? [02:02] i think i messed up the xorg [02:02] total used free shared buffers cached [02:02] Mem: 636796 598652 38144 0 103584 241456 [02:02] -/+ buffers/cache: 253612 383184 [02:02] Swap: 1646620 4428 1642192 [02:02] sandy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:03] sandy_: well or that then [02:03] how much RAM does sandy have? [02:03] oenone1: I see. Well I know there is a way to do a "default" config for X but frankly I never had to do because Nvidia works so well [02:03] it looks like 640 mb was about right [02:03] sorry for the flood [02:03] sandy_: it gives the output in bytes or something, you understand it yourself? [02:04] oenone1: do a little googling about how to modify your xorg.conf file and maybe your can figure out how to comment out your new video driver. [02:04] anyone know how to get a treadnet gigabit NIC working with server 9.04(64)? [02:04] hey all, I know this isn't strictly an Ubuntu question, but I'm unclear how multiple DNS servers work. As in, if I have a domain with entries in 1 DNS provider's servers, then I go and add a 2nd DNS provider and just plug in the same domain pointing to the same IPs, do I have to make each provider aware of the other provider? If not, how do they figure-out which DNS entries get used? :/ [02:04] can someone please tell me who's the owner of /var/run/mysqld in your system? [02:04] @dannyD1: can i still get the files on my desktop? [02:04] can someone please tell me who's the owner of /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid in your system? [02:04] oenone1: yes. You should be able to . [02:04] but i can get past the boot up screen [02:04] sandy_: ok install Virtualbox, you can sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose the open source version with no USB suppourt, or get the one for Linux hosts with USB suppourt from http://www.virtualbox.org [02:04] X runs on top of linux so there is nothing corrupted with the OS [02:05] sebsebseb: not really...but it looks like most of the RAM is used [02:05] adfter the ubuntu screen everything turns black [02:05] Hilikus: mysql (group mysql) [02:05] sandy_: how old is the computer? [02:05] like 5 years [02:05] What program to I use to figure out my gateway and DNS server? [02:05] oenone1: hold on let me test something because frankly I don't remember [02:05] Sort of like ipconfig? [02:05] lstarnes thanks [02:06] sandy_: run "free -h" - and you can count cached memory as free memory [02:06] sandy_: do free -m and give me the output, I was asking about your RAM in another channel [02:06] ok [02:07] I have an ipod touch and I dont want the camera icon to show up on the desktop every time I plug it in. Is there a way I can disable the auto mounting of my ipod? [02:07] oenone1: try doing a ctrl-alt-f1. That could get you to a linux prompt. Then you should be able to cp your files to a usb flash drive or something [02:07] 351 free with cache [02:08] sandy_: what about free -m ? [02:08] sandy_: that's also what I have on my box (512MB physical) [02:08] 1603 free with swap [02:09] MatthiasM: she has 512MB RAM? [02:09] looks like it [02:09] how do i do than ? [02:09] Hi - i have a question with subversion i am using on ubuntu [02:09] sandy_: run free -m as well [02:09] how do i do that [02:09] oenone1: what the ctrl-alt-f1? [02:09] how do i cp my files [02:09] any comman that i shud know [02:09] Mem: 621 613 8 0 101 241 ...... it seems 241 is whats under cache [02:09] sandy_: what's the output for free -m ? [02:09] cp [02:10] oenone1: cp {original file name and location} {new file name and location} ....what could be simpler [02:10] I am a newb - My question with subversion is that i can connect to a server and checkout files okay, and i can commit files okay; on the server side, the files show up as different versions when i do svn list --verbose; however, when i look at the files themselves on the server, they aren't changed [02:10] sandy_: that looks like 768 MB physical ram [02:10] sandy_: ok this looks good [02:10] sandy_: you should be able to virtual machine XP on there, it might be a little slow though [02:11] Where are the committed svn files? [02:11] comptroller: server / repo [02:11] awesome...i'll have to give that a try....is virtualbox good and efficient? [02:11] yes [02:11] sandy_: yes [02:11] sandy_: yes Virtualbox is very good [02:11] comptroller: they're stored in a special format in the repo itself [02:12] sandy_: I use it to sync my Iphone [02:12] MatthiasM: okay, so if my repo was /home/svn/foo , and i imported /path/myproject into /home/svn/foo/myproject [02:12] sandy_: it's pretty straight forward nice graphical program, but when it comes to making virtual hard disk, make sure it's expanding and you can pretty much put whatever size you want that is available. so 20GB would be sensible, it's just the size the vm thinks it has [02:12] sandy_: that was dynamically expanding which is default [02:13] then shouldn't i be able to see them in /home/svn/foo/myproject? [02:13] comptroller: not directly [02:13] I mean, should the /path/myproject that i imported - should these files be changing? [02:13] yikes [02:14] or rather, do i have to check out the whole project on the server that the code resides? [02:14] is there any other programs similar to mysql gui tools available on ubuntu please? (especially a database management tool) [02:14] so is there anyone running AMD64 who could try to go to a site to see if they can get the site to work. (and no its not pron) [02:14] @dannyD1: dont know whats the exact files name [02:14] AzizLight: The MySQL GUI tools are available [02:14] the only thing i know is that it is found on the desktop [02:14] comptroller: you should read the getting started of svn [02:14] How can i find the uuid of my ipod touch [02:14] sandy_: might have to enable sound in the settings for the vm. Should be quite a bit faster to install in there, than on an actsaul hard disk. Any issues, well loads of people that can help with that on here, and there channel is #vbox [02:15] oenone1: cp is a very powerful command with many wildcards. I am sure that you can figure it out. Google something like "unix command cp examples" and you should ge a lot of info [02:15] Flannel: yeah I know that but I was asking if there was any alternatives..maybe a gui app that is more..minimalistic [02:15] @danny : thanks sir [02:15] you mean options, not wildcards [02:15] kendrick: maybe ls /dev/disk/by-id/ ...but thats just a guess [02:15] MatthiasM: I did read a bunch - I guess i'm just confused what happens when you 'import' a directory; i thought it just basically creates links to this directory, which serves as the main project that gets updated [02:15] sebsebseb: cool...thanx....any suggestion on base memory size? [02:16] oenone1: "cd ~/Desktop" and then "ls" wil list contents of your Desktop [02:16] oenone1: no problem [02:16] sandy_: oh you got it already? leave that as default [02:16] AzizLight: ah, I'm sure there are. Your best bet is to search the repos using synaptic. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [02:16] MatthiasM: shouldn't i be seeing commited changes to the original directory that I imported? [02:16] AzizLight: search/browse [02:16] sandy_: if you want USB as I said before you get from site, if not the one from Ubuntu repo/server is fine [02:16] Flannel: ok thanks, I will try to do that [02:17] comptroller: you have a repo, a working folder, and maybe other things [02:17] sandy_: leave the base memory as is [02:17] only the repo and the working folder gets changed by svn [02:17] dannyD1, thanks but it wasn't there do usb devices have UUIDs its registering as a camera and i'm just trying to figure out what to put in my fstab to set it to not auto mount [02:17] MatthiasM: oh okay, so the original folder i imported doens't matter [02:18] bastidrazor, that doesn't show the files, just a description of the package. thanks for the attention though [02:18] MatthiasM: so could i delete the original folder i imported, and the repo will be fine? [02:18] comptroller: I'm not 100% sure, because I normaly add files which are already in the working folder [02:18] kendrick: oh..I just do the lowtech way and click unmount when the popup screen shows [02:21] FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted. [02:21] sandy_: ah yes [02:21] sandy_: you need to tell it to use the CD [02:21] sandy_: from virtual box ? [02:22] sandy_: if the first time wizard hasn't done it for you, just go to settings on the vm [02:22] sandy_: and change it there [02:22] anybody is having problem connecting yahoo from Pidgin ? [02:22] Hello. I'm working for a nonprofit that refurbishes old computers and looking at how they could use Linux (much more efficient on old hardware). Installing a command-line-only Ubuntu system and then kdebase, firefox, and openoffice creates a perfect setup. My question is, how can I automate this, so that we don't have to type every command for every computer we set up? [02:23] It seems you have a choice between OEM and command-line system [02:23] is there a way to do both? === solid_liqAFK is now known as solid_liq === solid_liq is now known as solid_liqAFK [02:23] superuser2: I think your question is a little advanced for most people in this channel, also it would be good if it wasn't just Ubuntu, but some other distros as well [02:23] sebsebseb: yep. vbox. should I mount it? [02:23] Is there a better way to transfer music to a creative zen mosaic then gnomade? it keeps freezing my player when I try to transfer music at random :/ [02:23] sandy_: yes mount the host drive thingey [02:23] superuser2: you could make your distro [02:23] sandy_: in the settings [02:24] danny: how? [02:24] superuser2: that would be a long conversation. [02:24] try google "ubuntu make your own distro" and that should bring up some hits [02:25] sandy_: you need to tell it to use the CD drive in the VM settings [02:25] superuser2: you might want to look to PuppyLinux. I think they have a super light weight distro that will run on most old computers [02:25] sandy_: which version did you get by the way? [02:25] sandy_: I mean did you get from website or Ubuntu repo? [02:26] just the one that downloads easily off ubuntu 9.04 [02:26] sandy_: ok that's the one that does not have USB suppourt [02:27] sebsebseb: so that wouldn't go over too well with this usb mouse huh [02:27] sandy_: yeah I guess not [02:28] is there a problem with installing crossover to a hidden directory in /home/usr/.cxoffice [02:28] sandy_: get from http://www.virtualbox.org for linux hosts. [02:28] sandy_: remove the one you installed [02:28] im using a 2002 I-Buddie with 9.04 and using USB mouse ok [02:29] sebsebseb: good thing you stopped me just in time....almost started installing xp heh [02:29] sandy_: well I mentioned that like 3 times regarding USB [02:29] heh [02:30] i need accelerator drivers sis 630 anyone know where i can get it?

[02:36] Euro: yes, but you can with Ext3 as well and the driver for Windows [02:36] harpreet_: i tend to 'test' mine in a player befor i burn them [02:36] Euro: Linux file systems are better than Windows [02:36] 's [02:36] <_841|54C> harpreet_: ubuntu does not work with DVDs or any other entertainment.

[03:10] ajinkya: you can make an alias in ~/.bashrc for "sudo apt-get install" if you mean that e.g. [[alias apy='sudo apt-get install']] then you can do apy gmusicbrowser and it will be processed as 'sudo apt-get install gmusicbrowser' [03:10] But the skins aren't my problem.

Then find the file to copy. and do: sudo cp file location --- where location is the location you want to copy it to [03:19] Hilikus: they can rely on any kind of authentication.

[04:01] Yeah, I have no clue what has the file open. tried to open a text file with vi and got a warning that it was already open. [04:02] preceptus, is it a config file or an exec or txt? [04:02] im running an ubuntu cli system and can only get audio when root. am i maybe not in the right group or something ? [04:02] its a conf file [04:03] I have been running around for the past 4 hours on the forums reading flash audio and firefox. Has anyone else solved this issue? [04:03] preceptus, maybe the program its for is having issues? [04:03] perceptus, I could be wrong, but try lsof [04:04] I am running Ubuntu 9.04, and have Samba installed, mounted my external hard drive, and added it as a shared folder in the samba config file. For some reason I still can't write to it. [04:05] randall: I had that issue once, is it ntfs? [04:05] or a fat32 partition? [04:05] fumanchu182, thats a good question... [04:05] are you using knome or kde? [04:05] err gnome [04:05] randall, what are the permissions on the directory? [04:06] randall, just from the command line you might want to check if users can write to it. [04:06] that's also a good point it could be 644 or 440 which means you won't be able to write to it [04:06] can somebody please tell me how to bring up Startup Manager in ubuntu 8.04 [04:06] my pc just crashed so i restarted it and it will not boot up... [04:06] what command do i use to check to see the USB IR dongle im using? [04:06] rwlove_, i tried to set permissions via chmod but it failed [04:06] fumanchu182, no gui [04:06] i get to grub, load linux, it shows the ubuntu spash then loads easybox and says (initramfs) [04:07] hardcore man [04:07] what is wrong and how can i fix it tonight? [04:07] fumanchu182, ubuntu server ftw [04:07] please help [04:07] just do ls -al on the mount point and tell use the permissions [04:08] fumanchu182, when i tried to sudo chmod it said operation not permitted [04:08] we should help brenda_ lol [04:08] TroN-0074, System->Preferences->Startup Applications is what you want, I think [04:08] Anyone help me I have had no luck getting samba too share between this computer and my windows machine [04:08] ihave no idea about initramfs [04:08] brenda_ so what specifically is your problem? [04:09] squeak, i can help [04:09] i am going to assume "init ram filesystem" is what the command is doing [04:09] squeak: i use smb4k to use shares, and it works fine [04:09] squeak, im in the middle of setting up samba too [04:09] randall, ahh coool [04:09] squeak, windows xp or vista? [04:09] randall, is it possible that the root partition of your second disk was mounted read-only? [04:09] hello [04:09] xp [04:09] thanks rwlove that wasnt what I was looking for though [04:09] randall, can you write to any where else on the disk? [04:09] k [04:09] squeak: im not sure what it is listed as in the add/remove, but sudo apt-get install smb4k would work. synaptics might have it listed as such, too [04:09] sry [04:09] when i try to start my computer it loads as if its going to start ubuntu but comes up with error something not found and then busybox and a command prompt with (initramfs) [04:10] randall, xp [04:10] brenda_, we'd need to know what it says it's missing [04:10] im running an ubuntu cli system and can only get audio when root. am i maybe not in the right group or something ? [04:10] anyone know how to ID a processor in linux? [04:10] zopiac, yeah but doesn't that mean I would have too install something kde and that wouldn't really help sharing my linux folder with my xp would it? [04:10] brenda_, a quick option is that when you boot to select an older kernel [04:10] i have, i've tried all 3 [04:10] it worked fine for years until today [04:10] Nate_, cat /proc/cpuinfo might help [04:10] squeak: dunno, but it has worked for me :P [04:10] I need to know whether or not I have a athlon palomino or thoroughbred [04:10] riegersn, you can add yourself to group audio [04:11] riegersn, edit /etc/group and add yourself to the line that says audio [04:11] after the 3rd colon in that line [04:12] shoot [04:12] riegersn, also you can use the command "groups" to see the groups you are in [04:12] Nate_, dmidecode will tell you about the mobo... I don't know about AMD stuff, but maybe the socket on the mobo might be a clue [04:12] im willing to pay anyone who can help me fix this, i can't reinstall the os, i'm cd drive less [04:12] halberd: `id` [04:12] brenda_, did you read what I wrote? [04:12] Yeah I got the processor info now, but I was hoping there was something like CPU-Z for linux [04:13] to many post and i'm shorta new to this [04:13] what did you say? [04:13] yes, id gives you more information YeTr2 , groups works fine though [04:13] just read up in the history [04:13] i've tried that [04:13] but still get the same thing with busybox [04:13] how do you get a cloak on for irc? in konversation [04:13] so that your IP is hidden [04:13] brenda_, we would need to know what it says it's missing before busybox [04:14] brenda_, do you know if you get to the grub menu?

Help?

[04:27] but the audio works everywhere else [04:27] is 64 bit ubuntu required to use more than 3 gig ram? just curious [04:27] no [04:27] but 32 bit will not address that memory [04:27] so therefore a waste [04:27] fumanchu182, why won't it? [04:27] So I just added a 2nd IP as eth0:0 in Ubuntu 9.04, rebooted, and now when I use sudo I get a warning of "sudo: unable to resolve host (none)" :/ [04:28] my 32bit reads Memory: 3024 MB [04:28] there are not enough bits in 32 bits to calculate all the memory spaces [04:28] get ubuntu iso. the newest one. 9.04, whack the cd into your computer and it will ask if you want to install the safe way [04:28] Can someone please tell me why pidgin won't connect to yahoo?

[04:30] brenda_ : found help already ? [04:30] fumanchu182: are you on 64bit? [04:30] no 32 bit [04:30] i had similar problem to you sound on desktop just not on flash [04:30] are there packages on 64 bit that enable audio? [04:30] yeah i get sound everywhere but flash [04:30] zaccour: yes, up to 1.7 or 17 exabytes or something. but, having that much ram will probably not be achieved in the next few decades :P 100gb, if accessable, is potential [04:31] i have tried almost all solutions on the forums [04:31] erm trying to think what i did to fix it [04:31] and nada [04:31] the only thing i haven't done is gnash yet [04:31] always the same i am very new myself :D [04:31] lemme give that whirl real fast [04:31] zopiac, whats exabytes?

[04:52] jon5001: it sounds like you have the lap top from Dell, that was on offer? [04:52] Hey -- can someone tell me what they think of this smartctl output? http:/diffra.com/disk.txt [04:52] fumanchu182: is that ubuntu 9.04 ?? anyway, so neither master nor pcm are muted as it shows to me [04:52] I'm pretty sure the disk is failing, but i'm not positive how to read all of that [04:52] yes 9.04 [04:52] jaunty [04:52] jon5001, ATI is about to release a new driver,,,, will be soon [04:53] SeaPhor, really! one that will work with 9.10? [04:53] SeaPhor: the question is: will it work properly? :P [04:53] SeaPhor, how soon? [04:53] sebsebseb, please stop PM'ing me [04:54] DasEi: if it was a matter of a mute toggle and all this time I invested working on it I would just go jump off a bridge... [04:54] fumanchu182: you played around with the input source, I guess ? [04:54] yes [04:54] fumanchu182, ati radeon x300 [04:54] Hello, does anyone know if there is a way to mount or convert .mir images, in linux? the program Daemon Tools for windows will mount them... but i can't find any others that will... [04:54] sebsebseb, i do not do PM's, please stop [04:54] sebsebseb, i dont understand your quest. [04:55] SeaPhor: no 'Block' option in your client? [04:55] zopiac, that is the question... [04:55] SeaPhor: well it was off topic here, and I hope you read it at least [04:55] zopiac, i prefer to log them and present them to the OPs [04:56] :) [04:56] ok there we go [04:56] sebsebseb, no, i do not bother [04:56] nope that aint it [04:56] anyone using musictracker? [04:56] I guess i jsut have to refomat and set up the video resolution manulay [04:56] jon5001: you do not understand my quest? [04:57] i guess ubuntu tllk all the says stuff away [04:57] jon5001: I said it sounded like you had that Ubuntu lap top from Dell, that's on offer [04:57] AuntieNeo, mounting it as a vfat system didnt solve the problem =( [04:57] mordocai: what's the output of `file filename.mir` ? [04:57] sebsebseb, no i have a 3-4 year old inspiron 9300 that came with xp. i jettisoned that and went ubuntu 6 mos ago [04:57] SeaPhor, nice to see you again [04:58] fumanchu182: which soundcard are you using ? [04:58] zopiac, i work with the ATI devs and june is the release timeframe for linux driver,,, again, hopefully it will work- personally i suggest nvidia [04:58] jon5001: ah ok [04:58] DasEi: ATI HDMI [04:58] randall: when mounting it, use the flag "-o uid=myuser,gid=myuser" [04:58] or however you want it === soreau_ is now known as soreau [04:58] auntieNeo, i dont want to mount it to a specific user if i can avoid it [04:58] SeaPhor: ok looks like we will agree on this one then, Nividia graphics cards are usually better on Linux [04:58] the scroll function on the touchpad was FINE until recently... it mysteriously stopped [04:59] SeaPhor: same, but my case airflow (or lack thereof) isnt allowing my 9800 to work at less than 70C :( so i must use my onboard ATI (which doesnt work for a lot of things) [04:59] you too randall ,,, um remind me... lol [04:59] diffra: Data. It's a cd image though. It is a mini image usually used for getting around copy protection... though in this case it's because i lost my cd for a game i play. I'm trying to see if it works in WINE but i need the image to mount. [04:59] DasEi: I have the IEC895 Switch selected.

[05:01] SeaPhor: desktop, but a microATX with minimal fans [05:01] Can ubuntu/linux look at the contents of a floppy disk without corrupting it? [05:02] Fezzler, off course [05:02] zopiac, can you leave the side-cover off? [05:02] I have an old 100K 3.5 floppy from Tandy and I want to see if there is anyhting on it [05:02] SeaPhor: doesnt help :( its hardly ever on (but i guess it could be now that im not using the card) [05:02] !floppy [05:02] To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone [05:03] But I don't want to put it into my 1.44m 3.5 floppy drive and try to read it and ruin the disk [05:04] fumanchu182: open a terminal ... [05:04] SeaPhor: well, it might help, but not much. im not doing very many graphics-extensive things right now anyways, but i would like to use fullscreen games (like Dwarf Fortress), but it doesnt work [05:04] fumanchu182:sudo apt-get install pastebinit [05:04] auntieNeo, it won't mount with those options.. =( [05:04] Fezzler: 1.44mb drive should be backwards compatible with that disk. [05:04] SeaPhor: fullscreening programs make the image completely garbled [05:04] can u put a external fan on it? zopiac ? [05:05] I need help installing Star Craft Battlechest in Wine (It is a 2 disc install). Can someone point me to the wine channel or private chat me? [05:05] fumanchu182:cat /proc/asound/cards | pastebinit < zopiac, with the side-cover off and fan... [05:05] Does anyone know why the desktop version is always sending network traffic out?

Neither the installer nor gparted are able to edit the existing partitions. Is there a workaround for OEM machines such as this? [05:07] JonyBlaze, Thank y ou [05:07] shunobies: or check netstat and see what you're connecting to. that may be enough to give you your answer. [05:07] Did not work in Natilus. Any terminal command to read this floppy or see if there is data on it even in a raw form? [05:07] Awesome Diffra thank you. I'm surprised how helpful everyone is not like this in windows :) thank you [05:07] hello [05:08] how to use a VM? [05:08] heh [05:08] apparently xchat autoconnects to this channel [05:08] even though I'm already here [05:08] yes, C4colo [05:08] what is the Terminal command to read a floppy diskette? [05:08] !virtual | anachronik_ [05:08] XCHAT autoconnects here [05:08] anachronik_: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:09] Fezzler: you could raw read using dd. dd if=/dev/floppy of=~/floppy.img [05:10] then examine the .img file however you like. for a 100kb disk, you might start with just less and go from there. maybe a hex editor from there. [05:10] fumanchu182:paste of : asoundconf list ? [05:10] diffra>> "No such file or directory" [05:10] Argh this is frustrating. NetworkManager supports multiple active connections, wicd does not. NetworkManager doesn't get my wireless connected, and wicd does. Both have the exact same iwconfig and ifconfig settings... [05:10] coming right up [05:10] Fezzler: i guessed a bit -- look around /dev/ for your floppy drive. it's been years since i used a floppy with linux. [05:11] maybe /dev/fd0 [05:11] diffra>> Specifically, "dd: opening '/dev/floppy': No such file or directory" [05:11] DasEi: http://pastebay.com/23392 [05:11] how come regular user can change root's password [05:11] diffra>> and then? [05:11] ubuntu is weird [05:11] hotspeedBOPM: that is only possible with sudo [05:11] or sudo su to get as root [05:12] fuman only root should be able to change root's pass [05:12] Fezzler: apt-got mtools and issue mdir [05:12] Fezzler: did it seem to have worked? [05:12] well that's what sudo is [05:12] whats the difference between logcheck and logwatch and which one is recommended for ubuntu? [05:12] (poor verb tense, sorry.) [05:12] fumanchu182: asoundconf set-default-card intel [05:12] sudo abstracts the root account away [05:12] interesting [05:13] a regular user should not be able to change root's password [05:13] i am going to try that but i proabably wont hear anything [05:13] sudo or not [05:13] there's also log-analysis [05:13] diffra>> no [05:13] bucky>> ? [05:13] fumanchu182: are you using two physically sound cards ? [05:13] bucky>> you mean apt-get mtools? [05:13] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a HP laptop. Neither the installer nor gparted are able to edit the existing partitions. Is there a workaround for OEM machines that have locked partitions? [05:13] well there are two cards, the intel on board one and then the ati video card hdmi driver [05:14] any ideas on how to install Firefox 3.5rc2? is there a package? [05:14] DasEi: I did that command [05:14] i still get audio in rythymbox [05:14] mtools uses the old dos commands preceded with 'm' [05:14] how do i make ubuntu so that only root is powerful user [05:14] mdir mcopy etc [05:14] hotspeedBOPM, sudo elevates privileges to that of the superuser (root) -- therefore any process running as root can affect root's environment, including change root's password [05:14] fumanchu182: I see, I'm overasked there, as you say other sound is working by hdmi, is it a 64 bit os ? [05:15] 32 bit os [05:15] hotspeedBOPM, root is the only superuser on ubuntu by default [05:15] fumanchu182: if you restart alsamixer, does it show the intel now ? [05:15] unop i can change root's password as regular user [05:15] the new alsa has no alsaconf and it couldn't find my sound chip on an old NF7 board... so I just used OSS instead [05:15] alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [05:16] interesting [05:16] fumanchu182: asoundconf set-default-card HDMI [05:16] What I need to do is issue some type of a non-destructive Terminal command that will see if there is data on this floppy diskette (100k, 3.5i) [05:16] MHz128: if you are on a 32-bit install of ubuntu you can just extract the tar.gz from mozilla.com to your home folder and run ./firefox [05:17] restart alsamixer and i get iec985 only [05:17] do you think alsa may be at fault here? [05:17] fumanchu182: looks like your missing a pluging for hdmi, but I have no certain idea on it, sorry [05:17] cool thanks [05:17] okay [05:17] how do i make ubuntu so that only root is powerful user [05:17] i will try a few things [05:17] hotspeedBOPM, you shouldn't be able to do that - what exactly are you doing? [05:18] unop a non-root user can change root's passworde [05:18] how do i make ubuntu so that only root is powerful user [05:18] hotspeedBOPM, how do you get your non-root user to change root's password? [05:18] unop just by sudo [05:18] hi, can someone help me get my creative xfi notebook card installed properly so i can use it instead of my default laptop speakers? [05:19] hotspeedBOPM, sudo what? [05:19] (my laptop's headphone jack is broken) [05:19] unop settings/userandgroups [05:19] hotspeedBOPM, then that is normal, because that is what sudo does .. it runs another process as another user (root by default) [05:20] hotspeedBOPM: in short, you remove your user from /etc/sudoers. use the command 'visudo' to do this [05:20] doppelganger_: x-fi are a problem in general, there is a slight chance to get to work with pulseaudio [05:20] unop a regular user shouldn't be able to change root's password; unless they know root's password and do su root [05:20] help i cant access yahoo messenger in pidgin [05:20] diffra, err .. he then locks himself out of his own computer forever :) [05:20] this disallows your user from executing commands via sudo, and you'll have to login as root to do root things. however, does ubuntu allow graphical logins as root? [05:21] unop: i'm assuming he sets root's password first. [05:21] hotspeedBOPM, it's only the first user that is able to use sudo .. ever other user must explicitly be added to the admin group [05:21] oenone1: try #pidgin but i'm pretty sure it's an issue on yahoo's side. they're not allowing 3rd party apps to login. [05:21] DasEi: I have noticed! lol. I'm willing to give it a shot, i just need some help figuring out a few things (or making some things make sense, i guess) [05:21] hotspeedBOPM, so, the weakest link is the first user - not any random user [05:21] !root | diffra [05:21] diffra: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [05:21] how come there is no prompt to set root's password during ubuntu installation? [05:22] SeaPhor: I'm fully aware of ubuntu's security model. hotspeedBOPM is trying to work around it, not me. [05:22] !intel [05:22] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [05:22] like say.... why (and i'm a noob here) that lspci shows my card listed, although it's not listed anywhere else to choose from to set it as default [05:22] hotspeedBOPM, ubuntu has chosen not to activate the root account for login - it's by design [05:23] unop and regular has superpower access; what a dumb idea [05:23] you can opt for root logins during an expert install [05:23] regular user [05:23] hotspeedBOPM: Only users that are in the admin group have that access. [05:23] hotspeedBOPM, it's not a dumb idea .. lots of other distros do this, other unixes too , mac included [05:24] wait, so ubuntu finally has a default group that has sudo access, e.g. 'wheel'? [05:24] gawddamnit....used bleeding edge config but sound/audio still stutters grrrr [05:24] diffra: Its had one for a long time. [05:24] is it possible to remove user root in admingroup [05:24] diffra, the group's called 'admin' [05:24] Ubuntu can't mount my floppy drive [05:24] hotspeedBOPM, yes - but that's not recommended [05:24] i haven't run ubuntu on the desktop since 7.10, excuse my ignorance there. [05:24] is it possible to make root as regular user and have no superpowers [05:24] doppelganger_: first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device >>Pulse (Pulse..Mixer) [05:24] has anybody else have a problem logging in to yahoo meseenger using pidgin? [05:25] unop why not? a regular user has superpowers [05:25] oenone1: see above. i already replied to you [05:25] yes all yahoo on pidgin is down [05:25] DasEi: check [05:25] oenone1, go to #pidgin [05:25] hotspeedBOPM: Can you please read this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo I think it will clarify many of your questions, I feel like we're going in circles in here. [05:26] oenone1, and see the topic there [05:26] hotspeedBOPM: you can have different pw's for standard user and root [05:26] hotspeedBOPM, yes, the first created user - is the only user that is part of the admin group - and only members of the admin group have sudo access [05:26] hotspeedBOPM, think of the first user as the windows equivalent of the administrator/owner [05:26] ok, sudo mount /media/floppy0 has the diskette spinning [05:27] need some (hopefully) quick help, just put together a new machine with an nvidia GTS 250 and would like to get desktop effects working, but the driver isn't showing up under restricted drivers and envyng doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Any advice? [05:28] Fezzler:correct syntax : sudo mount /dev/floppy0 /path/mountdir [05:29] how do i install vlc on jaunty ? [05:29] unop so basically anybody who irc using "first created user" is same as ircing as root [05:29] and also install media codec for jaunty [05:29] Pici, he just doesnt get it or he's trying to antagonize [05:29] hello [05:30] DasEi>> Thanks. It's mounted. Is there a Terminal command that can tell me if there is any data on the floppy with being distructive? [05:30] whoops, srry bout that [05:30] Fezzler: ls? [05:30] what type of library can I use for drawing basic pixels, lines and shapes on screen? like mode 13h in DOS... hehe [05:30] hotspeedBOPM, no, because the process being run for irc is run as the user and _not_ root .. you have to compromise the user's account first [05:30] How can I execute a file with a '(' in it? A file like "foo (bar).bin" [05:30] ooenone1: System--Administration---Synaptic [05:30] DasEi>> I don't even need file names, just data [05:30] linuxguymarshall: preface the special character with a backslash, '\' [05:31] linuxguymarshall, escape the ( with \( i.e. foo\ \(bar\).bin [05:31] unop what are you talking about? you even said firstcreatesuser has superpower access [05:31] diffra: I shall try that now [05:31] hotspeedBOPM, you are trolling now -- did you read the link pici gave you? [05:31] ooenone1: System--Administration---Synaptic [05:31] crap, disregard [05:31] i did read it [05:31] Fezzler:destructive ?? eerm, non-dis.. > ls -a /path/mountdir [05:31] retarded keyboard [05:32] sorry for the logout, after installing driver via envyng it shows up in the restricted drivers list, and activating it doesn't seem to do anything [05:32] diffra: I still get the error. I ran ' wine /media/scraft/Installer\ \(Windows).exe ' [05:32] Fezzler: ls /media/floppy [05:32] you'll have to escape the ) as well :) [05:32] Fezzler: umount /media/floppy [05:32] Can you setup Aim & Aim QQ Games on here? [05:32] linuxguymarshall, try enclosing the filename in double quotes - it's easier that way. wine "/media/scraft/Installer (Windows).exe" [05:33] eject floppy [05:34] unop, that made it not recognise the file [05:34] HMMM diskette is spinning and Ctrl-Break, Ctrl-D or Ctrl-c doesn't seem to stop command [05:34] doppelganger_: X-fi really is a @!**, but check also : http://www.ubuntu-forum.de/index.php?page=ExternalLink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.creative.com%2FProducts%2FProducts.aspx%3Fcatid%3D1 and http://www.4front-tech.com/ [05:35] DasEi: will do! thanks buddy [05:35] Hi, Can you setup Aim Messenger (AOL) and Aim QQ Games on here? [05:35] linuxguymarshall, well, it's likely that the filename wasn't typed out properly. you can use tab complete to complete the filename properly. e.g. wine /media/scraft/Inst [05:35] here's the pastbin output of gnome-appearance-properties: http://paste.ubuntu.com/199769/ [05:36] oh nvm, that's the dreaded creative site [05:36] =x [05:36] oh well, nvm then, lol === soreau_ is now known as soreau [05:36] 's what i get [05:36] "ls -a /media/floppy0" returns ". .."

Sure. I would say no to AIM QQ Games. Unless you run AIM in XP in VirtualBox but that's hassle just to talk to somebody.

[05:43] does anyone know how to make a via vt6102 rhine 2 work in jaunty? [05:43] cprxmm: np, so hd shows up in gparted ? [05:44] hello all [05:44] DasEi: yeah, but editing the partitions is forbidden [05:44] geremy_c1: Go to Appearances and toggle under Visual Effects. [05:44] cprxmm: open a terminal .... [05:44] cprxmm: At OS install for Linux, did you overwrite all partitions? [05:44] mobi-sheep: did that, says that desktop effects can't be enabled [05:44] BePhantom: sound ? [05:45] DasEi, ethernet [05:45] leguille: it's for a dual boot situation...can't overwrite the existing Vista and recovery partition === kevin__ is now known as canadaeh [05:45] geremy_c1: Did you install Ubuntu Jaunty recently? [05:45] mobi-sheep: yes, about two hours ago [05:45] cprxmm: I can't remember how to do that. I dual boot a 32-bit version of XP SP3, and I removed the partition. [05:46] geremy_c1: System --> Administrative --> Hardware Drivers? You enabled that? [05:46] BePhantom: worked out the box here, both jaunty and intrepid, does lspci find it ? [05:46] How do I know what Atheros family card I have in Jaunty 9.04? [05:46] DasEi>> Not sure where to go next. Gparted didn't show floppy0, just hard drives [05:46] cprxmm: (terminal) mount [05:46] DasEi, yes, it does find it in pan0 [05:46] mobi-sheep: yes, it wasnt there at first, then i used envyng and it showed up [05:46] DasEi>> How do I cd to root [05:47] Fezzler: just : cd [05:47] cd / [05:47] DasEi, do you have a rhine 2? [05:47] BePhantom: yo [05:47] DasEi>> cd just brings me to my Home [05:48] BePhantom: should show up as ethX [05:48] geremy_c1: Mmm. Good hardwares? Also, I assume you did upgrade everything? [05:48] Fezzler: which is the root [05:48] DasEi: mounting them works fine [05:48] DasEi>> not top of system so I can cd to /media/floppy0 [05:48] mobi-sheep: well, the hardware *runs*... [05:48] Question: For Jaunty 9.04, is there a small program, KDE or otherwise, that can do an "Shutdown all programs" with one click? [05:48] DasEi, it doesnt work here, already tried jaunty and mandriva. There are two interfaces: lo and pan0 [05:48] DasEi>> got it [05:48] DasEi: i believe it's intentional by HP's design that these partitions cannot be changed [05:49] cprxmm: (terminal) mount > they mussn't be mounted for partioning [05:49] for some reason, seemingly connected to when I installed ssh, when I try to open synaptic a box pops up saying "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.", forcing me to sudo open it from the terminal. In the past it would prompt for my password...does anyone know what may of triggered this? [05:49] DasEi, i even installed WICD (from deb) and no luck [05:49] geremy_c1: Simply put, if your graphic card isn't decent enough, it may be not decent enough to run visual effects. For that, you need a decent graphic card. [05:49] How do I know what Atheros family card I have in Jaunty 9.04? [05:49] geremy_c1: In a way, you're saying the hardware *runs* -- implies that you're running somewhat old hardware? [05:50] mobi-sheep: it's a gts 250. would have been best-of-the-best a year ago [05:50] BePhantom: lo is the needed (virtaul) hostinterface, needed, but not physically [05:50] liferea is broken on my hardy unr box [05:50] how can i fix that? [05:50] hello everyone. I had a quick question [05:50] cprxmm: (terminal) sudo umount -a [05:51] geremy_c1: You also might want to try #compiz [05:51] Hello~~ [05:51] dirname: extra operand `/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1pre/libsqlite3.so.0'Try `dirname --help' for more information.Aborted [05:51] !wifi | BePhantom [05:51] BePhantom: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:51] this is my problem [05:51] DasEi, it's not wifi [05:51] mobi-sheep: im on there now [05:51] DasEi>> Ok, in /media/floppy0 in Terminal. Gparted still shows no floppy0, just hard drives, ls -a returns ". .." [05:51] geremy_c1: Generally, one can toggle on and be on your way, but perhaps you need a workaround or it's not possible. :< [05:51] 00:17 [ DigitalKiwi ] [ josh ] [ rjek ] [ yacc__ ] [05:51] 00:17 [ dionoea ] [ joshua_ ] [ rphillips ] [ ynezz ] [05:51] 00:17 [ doobar ] [ jpjacobs ] [ s_parlane ] [ Zap2__ ] [05:51] i saw a package that allows you to run multiple instances of the command prompt in the same window without x. does anyone happen to know the name of the project or the package that i am talking about? [05:52] Fezzler: changed / choosed correct drive in gparted ? [05:52] DasEi, my ethernet is not wireless, it's wired [05:52] mobi-sheep: I'm somewhat surprised by that. Been using nvidia on linux for years and haven't had any issues- guess there's always a first time [05:52] ito: Screen? Terminator (for X). [05:52] DasEi>> But if I right click on floppy0 on desktop and choose Properties, it shows 1.3m of disk is used [05:52] no, im talking about for a session without x [05:53] DasEi>> Tried that in gparted, floppy0 not an option [05:53] you can do tabs with the included terminal in x [05:53] for some reason, seemingly connected to when I installed ssh, when I try to open synaptic a box pops up saying "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.", forcing me to sudo open it from the terminal.

[06:07] It is spinning [06:07] WXP Service Pack 3 [06:07] Fezzler: let it go [06:07] Fezzler, i would let that complete - unmounting the volume shouldn't be necessary as you have nothing accessing the disk (except dd) [06:07] Fezzler: bad sounds ? ctrl-c [06:08] unop: hopefully [06:08] wizzo50: Do you truly need AIM QQ Games? :o [06:08] wizzo, probably at least 512 then, you have to keep in mind that it will be running a bit slower than if it had the computer to itself [06:08] DasEi, do you need to read syslog? [06:08] wizzo50: How much memory RAM do you have?

[07:37] sinisterfox: i've been here a while, and no one acknowledges that i have a question; it's a little annoying. I'm trying not to be a jerk about it, but still [07:37] DanaG: bitstream vera sans [07:37] sagaci: that's scary [07:38] DanaG: all /dev/snd are root:root [07:38] sagaci: you unset /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop [07:38] ircnickiuse: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712006 [07:38] sagaci: once you re-enable that, you may need to manually open a file manager window to make nautilus realize it should be drawing the desktop again [07:38] crdlb: it sounds like he deleted the whole gtkrc [07:39] KDewhirst: gtkrc? [07:39] argh, pidgin doesn't reset font sizes unless you close and reopen the conversation. [07:39] ah, dejavu sans mono. [07:39] crdlb: it's the text file where all those settings are saved. i had him check for it, but it wasn't to be found [07:39] KDewhirst: other than themes, that's not really used in gnome [07:39] KDewhirst: gconf keys are not stored in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 [07:40] crdlb: ah, that would explain it. most of my experience with gtk stuff has been through kde, and kde talks to gtk apps through a file called gtkrc-2.0-kde === Mohero_ is now known as Mohero [07:40] crdlb: i'd assumed the same was true in the real gnome world [07:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712006 [07:40] hmm, that's one thing about permissions. === zer0 is now known as Guest91610 [07:41] hello all! is there anybody familiar with pygst?

[07:43] DanaG: I just tried that... got nothing [07:43] worked under nx [07:43] hmm, does polkit-gnome-manager show anything about audio? [07:43] ubuntu: you're gonna have to do stuff in the terminal, i think. are you okay with that? [07:43] Might have to install a package for it. [07:44] Kde, I can handle terminal commands, I just can't find or mount the drive---that's why I think it might just be totally dead [07:44] ubuntu: run this: ls /dev/ | grep sd* and then tell me what it says [07:45] DanaG: !nickhighlighting ;-) I'll check now [07:45] I only have polkit-gnome-authorizations - not manager === Guest91610 is now known as zer0 [07:45] zer0 === zer0 is now known as Guest71358 [07:46] How do i find out what my GPU temp is?

But the program I want to use full screen only blacks out the rest of the screen when i maximise it, not actually expands to full size. . .

So I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 to my desktop. I already had a Vista installation and chose to have them side by side. When GRUB starts up and I select Vista though, it boots back into GRUB. Anybody heard of this problem before? [08:30] Pytlask, is GRUB set up to load the Vista partition? [08:31] Kane: I believe so. Vista appears on the menu [08:31] It may appear on the menu, but if it's pointing to the wrong location (or none at all) I'd assume it'll load back into GRUB [08:31] The installer handled the partitioning and setup for me, so I don't know exactly what is set up [08:31] Alright, do you happen to know how I'd check that? [08:32] Or what to search for to find the solution? My searches so far have revealed nothing :( [08:32] how does ubuntu have gdmsetup? upstream does not have it, and fedora does not have it! where did ubuntu get it from? [08:32] Pytlask, just a heads up, my Linux knowledge is very limited. So hopefully someone else can point out if I do something wrong here :P [08:32] /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:32] Check that [08:32] And see if your Vista menu addition is pointing to your Vista partition [08:32] * DigitalKiwi has gdmsetup on arch, rohan [08:33] DigitalKiwi: oh, ok [08:33] fireball_-> i just install atomix and you are right it does open full screen...again the only suggestion i got is to ask in #vbox or try another mixing program [08:36] i am use ubuntu 9.04. i got problem with my kopete ..cant connect to my ym .how can i make it able to connetc to my ym?

[09:00] mobi-sheep, but when i right click on it and select the battery icon, it says 8hours 2 mins [09:01] hello [09:01] maybe hovering over the battery icon uses up juice like a mofo [09:01] good morning [09:01] glick: Laptop?

I want to remove update-notifier and it requires ubuntu-desktop to be removed. [09:04] mobi-sheep sorry man , ididnt knew its meaning , i just saw it on wiki , sorry for that [09:04] Why remove update-notifier? [09:04] archman: Yeah, it's a metapackage and can be safely removed [09:04] glick: Seems like normal. You have a battery capable of 9.5 hours. [09:04] Flannel, and it won't pull any new dependencies if i try to reinstall it? Is it even required for updates and stuff? [09:05] mobi-sheep, so which is it when i hover over the battery icon, or click on it [09:05] is it the charge time or the discharge time [09:05] glick: Sure, the measurements can be a little off sometimes in a while. [09:05] archman: What do you mean new depends if you try and reinstall it? [09:05] glick: Can you send the Ss? [09:05] glick: Screenshot* [09:05] Flannel, eg, I want to install ubuntu-desktop back, because it is recommended. It won't ask me to put update-shit back? [09:06] archman: It will. That's what dependencies do [09:06] aaah crap! [09:06] mobi-sheep, im about to pass-out, ill be back tomorrow [09:06] Flannel you are my idol, are you familiar with quagga - an internet routing daemon - this will turn my pc into a router no? i have 3 NICs [09:06] archman: But, it's perfectly fine to leave u-d uninstalled [09:06] What do I need ubuntu-desktop for? [09:07] nite all [09:07] thanks [09:07] glick: I don't see two difference readings on my laptop. Only one battery reading. [09:07] mobi-sheep, if i click on the battery icon [09:07] archman: Nothing at all except upgrading to the next Ubuntu version (but, you really should let update-manager take care of that anyway) [09:07] mobi-sheep, a menu appears and if i click on the battery icon on the menu, it opens a dialog box [09:07] ??? how do i download any software on ubuntu , it just doesnt allow me , and wattodo with medibuntu ? [09:07] when i try to run a safe upgrade aptitude also tries to install a couple of new programs that i dont actually want it to install, who do i change that? [09:08] safag what do you want to download? [09:08] brip vlc , and other plugins [09:08] Flannel, ok, so I guess that update-notifier won't be required for an upgrade. Thanks! I will try it now. [09:08] coz i cant play all videos in vlc [09:09] so ter must b someplugins needed ? [09:09] glick: I see what you mean. You want the one that display when you hover the icon. Remember -- batteries can wear out over a period of time. [09:09] hey before i go, how can preserve my battery life? do i discharge it, and then take it out of the laptop and keep my laptop pluged in, or do i charge the battery, then take it out of the laptop and keep the laptop plugged in [09:09] and i cant play utube videos [09:09] i can just listen [09:09] safag just a sec [09:09] Flannel, I was wandering, why it forces to start on every boot if it's turned off in sessions? Is there any hack I can do? [09:10] mobi-sheep, but the hover time is not at all near what i should be getting with this battery a new battery [09:10] archman: I'm sure you can disable it. But I don't know specifics. [09:10] running ubuntu 9.04, looking for a itunes replacement. is there a general consensus on the best app for this? [09:10] safag, have you tried installing w32codecs and libdvdcss2? [09:10] the one in the dialog box is more near what i should be getting [09:10] banshee, amarok etc? [09:10] Amarok ROCKS! [09:11] glick: Not everything are accurate. When you buy a 2GB stick from store, you're getting something close to 2GB. The readings are not always accurate but it's accurate enough to know that you're getting about 9.5 hours. [09:11] Anyone knows how to disable update-notifier from being started on every boot? (no, it's not in "sessions"...)

[09:33] hello [09:33] safag, I need to make the USB stick bootable so I can install Windows on a new netbook with only a USB port (no optical). I was able to partition the drive using the bootable Ubuntu utility, but now I need to convert the bootable XP CD to be a bootable XP USB stick so I can get that partof the install over [09:33] hey is there any image viewer in KDE that would use some nice compiz effects? - something like picasa preview in windows u just click image in file browser and it smoothly fills up your desktop with just 2 arrows to see next images [09:34] I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and ubuntu hangs everytime I copy/move a large number of files. for example, I was checking out iphone-dev on svn and it hung in the middle of the checkout [09:34] why is this? [09:34] hung as in becomes completely unresponsive. mouse, keyboard doesn't work. [09:35] rohan, did you get that one? I need to convert the XP CD into a XP USB [09:35] I need a little bit of assistance before I hurt someone...see, I hate ipv6 with a passion, as it renders Opera useless, but I found a thing on Ubuntu Blog telling me that I could get this newer kernel and it guided me on installing it. It for some reason refused to detect my network card even though it was listed under lspci. So, I boot back to my previous kernel, and now amarok doesn't want to launch properly, complaining about the dcop [09:35] update-nitifier start no matter that I already turned it off in "sessions" and gconf. Help?? [09:36] xp usb boot? [09:36] jeeves: um this is not the channel for this question [09:37] rohan, I'm asking here because I'm running Ubuntu as the main OS on this laptop [09:38] Anyone who can point me to a file or a config gui where i can get ubuntu to automaticly mount my secondary NTFS harddisk on startup? [09:38] /etc/fstab [09:39] i had try xp usb boot but only bule screen! [09:39] google: automount ntfs fstab [09:39] jeeves: Do you have another machine? [09:39] buch: put it in the /etc/fstab file.. just one line [09:39] !ntfs [09:39] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [09:40] buch: check that link from ubottu above.. it has all the gory details [09:40] jeeves: http://tinyurl.com/mnvue2 [09:41] mobi-sheep: lol ;D [09:41] mobi-sheep, yes, I'm on a laptop with Ubuntu running on it. I have my XP CD though, and I need to install it on the netbook that will only boot from USB. How can I convert this XP CD to a bootable DVD? [09:42] mobi-sheep, thanks. reallllllllyyyyyyy funny [09:43] jeeves: Just read the guides. The walkthrough may be similar by doing it on XP or Ubuntu. Figure out what you need to do. [09:43] hi, what's the status of CUDA and OpenCL in Ubuntu and Debian? is it possible to supply debs of software that are designed using these APIs? [09:44] mobi-sheep, nm, I figured it out. I've had a few drinks, and couldn't think latterly. [09:45] well, first step is going to be to purge this useless kernel... [09:45] Is it normal to have the CPU running at 100% even though i've got no programs open except system monitor? [09:45] no [09:45] Dougal: no [09:45] My computer's running *much* slower lately [09:46] odd thing is, the processes list only has one or two things in it using CPU, and they only add up to about 10% - 25% or so. So I don't know what's going on. [09:46] <|Ryan> Can anyone help me? I can't get Amarok to play my MP3, how can I enable it to? [09:46] <|Ryan> Can anyone help me? I can't get Amarok to play my MP3, how can I enable it to? [09:46] Dougal: what frequency is your CPU currently running at? (the speeds can scale up and down to adjust to the worload) [09:47] My first thought was botnet, but when i looked for anti-malware for linux, the internet basically told me 'that doesn't happen on Linux' [09:47] magnetron: hold on... [09:47] |Ryan: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:47] or kubuntu-restricted-extras if you're running that [09:47] <|Ryan> Surlent 777:Thanks. [09:48] np [09:48] Dougal: what do you mean "running at 100%"? you said the processes add up to 25% [09:48] jeeves , you want make xp cd/dvd like ubuntu runing you laptop in usb mode? [09:48] Dougal: For a good malware remover program thing, try BitDefender. Great looking and free for personal use [09:48] couldn't hurt to at least try running it [09:48] make sure you run it as sudo though so you can get the whole filesystem in on the scan [09:49] 1 [09:49] unlike avast it keeps the settings and virus database consistant between users, so no worries there [09:49] Surlent777: I'll look it up. Is it in the main repositories? can i just grab it with synaptic? [09:49] no [09:49] just google it though; real easy to find [09:49] magnetron: okay, i'm embaressed. I have to admit I don't know where to look [09:49] I think I may have heard of it through Tombuntu, but I don't quite recall [09:50] magnetron: (for the frequency) [09:50] did anyone get yahoo working on pidgin yet? [09:50] Dougal: the easiest way is to add the CPU monitor applet to your panel [09:50] gdbdzgd, I'm goingto rip the cd to an ISO, then to use the mounting program [09:51] BigMike`: it has been working for about a decade, are you saying it recently broke?

[10:05] ubuntistas: i386 is the way to say that you dl the 32 bit version as oposed to amd64 [10:07] ubuntistas: it's only labeled as i386, it's in fact a combined i386/i686 [10:08] where can I see apache log === joschi__ is now known as joschi === joschi is now known as Joschi [10:18] I have an nfs server setup, and in my exports file i set the anongid to 501 [10:18] I chowned some of my files to group 501, and group has right permissions, but I still can't write to it as user 501 [10:18] anyone know why this may be happening?

[10:21] Pirate_Hunter, that's the one.. you mean minor projects? [10:22] Pirate_Hunter: GIMP. Inkscape. VirtualBox (Run Photoshop under Windows XP). [10:22] jrib, because i can't make tails of it and lesshaste no not minor projects, was thinking there would be more than just gimp for the open source community [10:22] !doom3 [10:22] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:23] Pirate_Hunter: read help.gimp.org. It's different than photoshop, but it's not something difficult [10:23] Pirate_Hunter: I suspect Photoshop is one of those programs difficult to emulate or redevelop [10:23] lesshaste: here is what I do on my macbook: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Jaunty#Microphone [10:24] Pirate_Hunter: that was exactly the same way i felt when i first used gimp , but give it a few days and you will see a lot of similarities.. [10:24] why is ubuntu 9.04 using gnome-power-manager 2.24 and not 2.26? [10:26] thanx people well will give it a go still and read those documentation not in the mood to run cs4 especially through vm, sticking to gimp [10:26] revert useless, sound over [10:26] stable update FAIL [10:27] * ethana2 goes to ubuntu-1 install [10:32] does anyone have trouble install a flashplayer for mozilla? [10:32] nope [10:32] its been giving me trouble for some time now [10:33] I started using Opera [10:33] oh wait, not a flash player, java actually [10:33] I think I started out with the one in Synaptic, and then I believe I went to the official Flash site and installed their .deb [10:33] oh [10:33] i just got a flash to work, that took longer then it should have [10:33] I'd start by going into synaptic and looking at all the java packages [10:34] hmm alright, i did that but ill give it another try. [10:34] there's one in particular I know you may need, I can see the install screen in my head, but can't recall the name... [10:34] in my opinion jaunty is not as fault-tolerant as intrepid - does anyone aggree? [10:34] jaunty is a bloody pain in the ass, if that's what you mean [10:35] ghostlines: so? [10:36] another thing bothers me, after trying to open any type of media file,video or audio, it freezes completely [10:36] this is what i really need to correct first [10:36] =D I fixed Amarok [10:36] i tried amarok [10:36] it worked nicely [10:36] for audio though [10:36] I went back to amarok14 [10:36] but I did some experimenting tonight and it somehow messed it up [10:36] but i need a video player as well [10:37] got stuff about "CANNOT TALK TO KLAUNCHER" and I finally figured out how to correct that [10:37] Surlent777 i mean jaunty now has much more errors in my case than intrepid had about half a year of use [10:37] I'd normally recommend Xine wholeheartedly, but it seems to be going insane all of a sudden on mine [10:37] Guest98093: exactly my point [10:37] ie lagging insanely on startup [10:37] xine huh.. [10:37] fbxine works fine [10:37] ill look that up [10:38] and this works insanely awesomely usually [10:38] great keyboard shortcuts [10:38] im going to try amarok again first [10:38] that seems to be my best bet for audio since it worked before [10:38] I prefer the "old" amarok, as opposed to the Amarok 2 beta [10:38] just google and you can get it back on 9.04 [10:38] I prefer Winamp ^_^ [10:39] grawity winamp is the best! [10:39] hello, i am lloking for VOIP Solution Over LAN using ubuntu 9.04. Please help me [10:39] Amarok is just about the god of the linux media players [10:39] Hi, does anyone know if apt maintains a history log and if I can view it and revert recent updates and how? [10:39] grawity, if u got over 200,000 sonmgs MediaMonkey is then best to manage them all [10:39] though Audacious does have Midi support out of the box and that nifty Crystalizer plugin [10:39] JayX: I was joking, actually ... I have found Foobar2000 a week ago. [10:40] JayX: Before that, I only had Winamp for fixing iTunes-borked ID3 tags. [10:40] ah, a friend of mine loves Foobar [10:40] (Before iTunes, Winamp _was_ my primary music player) [10:40] never tried it myself [10:40] same [10:40] I mostly use Amarok and Music On Console Player (mocp) [10:41] this is my 3rd day running ubuntu, like it alot better then vista64..that was horrible trying to get things to work my way on it [10:41] ...wish I knew how to fix Xine =( [10:41] how to configure gwget? [10:41] surlent777 did you try uninstalling and reintalling it? [10:41] grawity oh well foobar is best on linux :P [10:41] how can I make it run [10:41] paulcdancer: no...no I did not. [10:41] That is a smart idea [10:42] JayX: it runs on Linux? *nukes Banshee* [10:42] how do I configure gwget? [10:42] haha, thank you..ive been constantly doing that myself with programs that ive ruined haha [10:42] mhm === paulcdancer is now known as Nanaki [10:42] grawity, my bad VM on linux ** [10:42] better.. [10:43] JayX: Ah. *installs Wine and opens /media/Windoze/Program Files* [10:43] morning [10:43] haha, I'm highly contemplating a total reinstall (been using it since 6.06) and upgrading to 64bit in the process [10:43] alright [10:43] if all goes well i should still be here..if i log out then you know my fate with the media player [10:43] Hi, guys...I'm trying to get used to apt-get. Can anybody please tell me how can i list only installed packages that their name contain the string "linux-headers" ??? I've tried: "apt-cache search linux-headers" -n but of course that returns a list of both installed and not installed without stating in every line the status of every package! [10:44] ubuntu 9.04 - does anyone know how to stop a .deb package installation that froze? (I wanted to install atunes but the thing halted on me while installing the java package) [10:44] thats a pretty specific question there.. [10:44] sup fags [10:44] I meant ==> "apt-cache search linux-headers -n" [10:44] Can anybody help? [10:45] hmm...i to am having problems installing java [10:45] naftilos what version of ubuntu are you running? [10:45] 9.04 [10:45] see im running an earlier version [10:45] im wondering if i should update [10:46] Anyone know if they've fixed 3d acceleration on the aspire one yet? [10:46] ubunutu needs to keep the repositories up for longer [10:46] that may fix alot of my problems [10:46] 8.04 and 8.10 are still up [10:46] gutsy repository is down :( [10:46] yes go ahead...i had 8.10 and upgraded to 9.04 [10:46] im using 8.10 [10:46] !gusty | HMAmemefan [10:46] HMAmemefan: It is spelt !guTSy :) [10:46] HMAmemefan: then use an actual ubuntu [10:46] it's all right - troublefree [10:46] huh [10:46] is it?

[10:47] naftilos76: dpkg -l 'linux-headers*' [10:47] i thought it was gutsy [10:47] !guTSy | HMAmemefan [10:47] HMAmemefan: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [10:47] yes of course [10:47] yeah [10:47] then that might be my next course of action tomorow [10:47] dammit, I uninstalled xine-ui and xineconsole...hey, better idea, let's nuke the config files directly [10:47] thanks pajamian [10:47] yw [10:47] had to set the repo things to 8 so i can download shit === nielsslot_ is now known as nielsslot [10:47] cant be fucked fixing driver issues everytime a new version of ubuntu comes out [10:47] HMAmemefan: use lts if you want a long support [10:48] huh [10:48] oh [10:48] shit [10:48] !wtf | HMAmemefan [10:48] HMAmemefan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:48] HMAmemefan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:48] fair enough [10:48] what's Its?

[10:50] most have frozen everything [10:50] HMAmemefan: lts deskop has 3 years support, yes [10:50] HMAmemefan: Yes. The next LTS release is in 2010. [10:50] HMAmemefan: that's the idea, yes [10:50] I'll go and reboot my system, the packet installer is doing squat [10:50] well ill reinstall in 2010 then [10:50] seeya later [10:50] does the new ubuntu version look nicer?

[10:51] oh nice [10:51] im using 8.10 [10:51] compare to that [10:51] HMAmemefan: 8.04 has support until 2011 [10:51] just worried something is going to beak horribly since im not using the right repos atm [10:52] how do I copy a bootable CD to make a bootable USB stick? [10:52] HMAmemefan: also, the hardware-support is much better with newer version [10:53] what are we at now? 9?

[10:54] how to configure wget [10:54] why has yahoo stopped workin with pigin? [10:54] now I realize I have no sound [10:54] at all [10:54] main problem is just the wireless on eeepc 701, im just being a lazy bastard who wont spend the afternoon to fix it :) [10:54] anywhere [10:54] oenone1: configure? [10:54] scorpy: check their site.. I think it's a FAQ there [10:54] refix it for the new version anyway [10:54] HMAmemefan: i am using eeepc with 9.04 and ALL is working out of the box [10:54] brb [10:54] @iceroot: yes sir I can't seem to get rapidshre working [10:54] how do I copy a bootable CD to make a bootable USB stick? [10:54] !!

[10:55] iwhere do I get it [10:55] ? [10:55] pulseaudio is there...my headphones are on and plugged in...everything in alsamixer set up properly... [10:55] Wow. First time using Xubunto.. [10:55] where do I go ? [10:55] now I *really* have a problem [10:55] * Cedara sighs [10:55] do I got to preference? [10:56] <<; >>; Alright.. Troubleshooting, I believe? [10:56] Surlent777: installed pavucontrol? [10:56] long time ago [10:56] hi where is the room for svn discussions? [10:56] is there anyone that can backport a patch to jaunty? seems to be fixed for karmic [10:56] .. Pardon me, but would you happen to know how to install Flash Player 10 onto Xubuntu? [10:57] Question: I tried to install itunes but the installation crapped out on me so I rebooted the system. Now I know it's been a bad idea because synaptic fails to open with an error. [10:57] !svn [10:57] svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [10:57] ok what in the expletive is this expletive...?!?! I run pavucontrol and it works again? [10:57] I am using Xubuntu from a 8GB Flash Drive, so yeah. I'm not sure if I can install Flash Player 10 on it? [10:57] Cedara: I'm told to run sudo dpkg -- configure -a [10:57] if /var rmed by mistkae, any way to fix? [10:57] or was it checking and then unchecking the Audigy Analog Digital Output Jack? [10:57] but that doesn't seem to produce a useful result [10:57] Surlent777: done all the general troubleshooting stuff check all the volume control stuff you can find.. tried "aplay /dev/urandom".. power to speakers.. rebooting.. cat /proc/asound/cards etc? [10:57] my system becomes super-slow and not responsive when i'm copying a large file in the background, i'm using lvm2 and my gnome panel system monitor shows my cpu at 100% usage for IOWait, is this type of behavior expected? [10:58] Slart: It works for no reason now but WHATEVER it's working [10:58] how do I donwload rapidshre files in wget ? [10:58] Surlent777: yay! =) [10:58] Hello? [10:58] oenone1: not sure you can.. don't they require javascript and such? [10:58] hello ubuntu [10:58] I'm going to blame it on the plothole ninjas, arch-rivals of the mighty Lord Sanity, and leave it at that [10:58] ok [10:58] I have Javascript installed on this. [10:59] I should be able to use Flash Player 10.. I just need to find a proper installer. [10:59] so is there any program to downlaod rapidshre files in jaunty? [10:59] And.. Sorry about my name not being different. Still trying to figure that out. I literally just started using a version of Linux. [10:59] oenone1: firefox? or you're on a command line? [10:59] ...I suspect XFCE is simply messing with me for rejecting it all these years in favor of GNOME and KDE [10:59] Firefox. [11:00] at least Xine works...I missed it <3 [11:00] either [11:00] any program will do [11:00] ubuntu: /nick newNickName [11:00] I'm using Meebo for IM, and everytime I send or recieve a message, a sound is playing, I went to System -> Peferences -> Sound -> Sounds and unchecked everything, but it's still playing... where do I shut it off? [11:00] oh wow...it's 3am here...thanks for the help/listening to my insane ramblings...g'night [11:00] in windows I use internet downlaod manager to downlaod rapishare files [11:00] oenone1: then firefox would be the easiest I guess [11:00] what's the counterpart of intenrnet downlaod manager on ubuntu?? === paulcdancer is now known as Nanaki [11:01] oenone1: not sure there is one.. not with the same functionality [11:01] so that failed [11:01] Platypus-Man: See the volume control on top/bottom panel? [11:01] yeah [11:01] that I can cue up files for downloading ? [11:01] the video player is freezing my system [11:01] Platypus-Man: Mute it? [11:01] I'd like to be able to listen to music, and still not hearing those annoying alert sounds [11:01] oenone1: there is gwget.. but search in synaptic for download manager.. see what you find [11:02] and I presume there's an easier way than replacing the soundfiles with some silent ones [11:02] for yoU what is the best kde distribution ? [11:02] im currently using gwget now [11:02] !best | xavbzh [11:02] xavbzh: 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. [11:02] but I don't know how to configure it [11:02] Platypus-Man: Use Pidgin for IM? :> [11:02] xavbzh: kubuntu is the one we support and discuss here.. or in #kubuntu [11:03] mobi-sheep: I would guess I'll get the sounds there too, but I'll give it a shot [11:03] can anyone offer help with gettin full screen on you tube? [11:04] Platypus-Man: Ya. Using Firefox + Meebo for your AIM can be silly especially when you're using your main system. [11:04] http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#Is_there_an_easy_way_to_set_up_Evolution.27s_configuration_information_on_many_computers.3F requires me to "make sure you that I am not running gconf". What do they mean? '~$ which gconf' does not produce any output. [11:04] yeah, it's just old habits I guess [11:04] sudo nautilus [11:05] =D srr [11:05] used Pidgin for a little while, used it for IRC to, but now I am using irssi for IRC, I'm sure I had a valid reason to ditch Pidgin [11:07] bullgard4, gconf is usually run as a daemon (gconfd) usually located at /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 or similar [11:07] Platypus-Man: Pidgin is awesome, but using it for IRC can lead to insanity. [11:08] bullgard4, you can shut it down with this command. gconftool-2 --shutdown === xavbzh is now known as xavier [11:08] okay, I solved one of my probs. now I have to repair the packages that are defective... synaptic says I should use a filter... I've never done that before...eep. [11:09] hi, I'm trying to use ddclient to update more than 1 domain's ip address [11:09] is this possible? [11:09] I cannot how to find this on the documentation so far :( [11:11] so my audio player works fine..but when i try to use a video player of any sort it crashes [11:11] bullgard4: ps ax | grep gconf [11:11] I think my pulse is on 180 [11:12] I have never had to use this [11:12] LOL [11:12] lol, running the filter? [11:12] yes [11:12] and I'm repairing [11:12] and installing java [11:12] nice, [11:12] dont worry [11:12] hey, while I'm not using this for a long time [11:12] most of what ive done in the past 3 days ive NEVER done before [11:12] I'm willing to learn [11:12] I have a weir problem with mahjongg; anyone willing to help? [11:12] but it ended up fine [11:12] unop: I have done 'gconftool-2 --shutown'. Ubuntu accepted. But /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 still exists. [11:13] could anybody help me with open office?? [11:13] I think the advice should be to install java first [11:13] then atunes [11:13] java and flashplayers are really iffy to install on here.. [11:13] i dont even have a java yet [11:13] you could go for the extras [11:13] iv ran the apt-get install [11:13] I did that at first [11:14] but i dont think that worked [11:14] I'm now wondering if I should try to install atunes again [11:14] i need to check it [11:14] erUSUL: This obtains: " 7127 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 12" [11:14] do you know the command to check the status of your java? [11:14] no [11:14] or version [11:14] sorry [11:14] i have to prepare a thesis for an exam and i have to understand how to modify the layout on open office??? please help me out! [11:14] logic: I would, but I don't know enough about it [11:14] same [11:14] logic: sorry, can't help [11:15] !java | Nanaki [11:15] Nanaki: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [11:15] bullgard4: "make sure you that I am not running gconf" --> i guess that you have to kill that process [11:15] plese tell me how to use Ekiga On LAn [11:15] Cedara: i'd just have to change the text from vertical layout to the horizontal one.. [11:15] erUSUL: So far I was not able to kill it. I rejuvenates with a higher PID. [11:16] s/I/It/ [11:16] logic: page layout maybe? [11:16] bullgard4: something restarts; but i dunno what may be doing it [11:17] logic: or do you only want to change the direction of the text while sticking with the usual page layout? [11:17] bullgard4: do a google search "stop gconfd" or similar [11:17] any body help me to use Ekiga soft phone [11:17] cedara: yes exactly [11:18] logic: the first or the latter? [11:18] cedara: page layout [11:18] cedara: anyway everytthing's solved now [11:18] thanks ;) [11:19] ok [11:19] erUSUL: What does it mean "to leave GNOME" in http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#Is_there_an_easy_way_to_set_up_Evolution.27s_configuration_information_on_many_computers.3F? [11:19] bullgard4: 'gconftool-2 --shutdown' <<< maybe this ? from http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/desktop-discuss/2007-September/004458.html [11:20] ok, HOW do I configure my sound, from scratch, to use snd_dummy? !?!?! ?! ? [11:20] bullgard4: Log out? [11:20] erUSUL: I have thried this command. It did not efect anything. May be I need to "leave GNOME" first. But I do not know what that means. [11:20] I am googling, and finding nothing that works. that said, it worked once, but then either didn't survive a reboot, or because my nx / vnc stuff screwed it up [11:20] !tty | bullgard4 [11:20] bullgard4: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [11:21] another annoying thing with Ubuntu... it messes up a bit on Norwegian characters, Å and Æ is between A and B, and Ø is between O and P, while it should be Æ, Ø and Å at the end of the alphabet [11:21] bullgard4: That might be your solution. [11:21] bullgard4: you are backing up all evolution settings ? what version of ubuntu do you have ? [11:22] erUSUL: Ubuntu 8.04.2. [11:22] heya im on a Aspire 4520, and whenever i try to get to a tty, the screen goes all funny. this also happens when i try to shutdown the computer, the screen goes all funny and i have to push a key to get it to shutdown [11:23] I've decided to live dangerously [11:23] I am not backing up all Evolution settings. Rather, I am trying to copy them to another computer. [11:23] ok [11:23] java is done..i think [11:23] I'm gonna try installing atunes [11:23] once more [11:23] but now that leaves me with my video player [11:23] lol [11:23] that worked [11:24] bullgard4: becouse recent versions of evolution do that automatically just go to File>Backup Settings [11:24] heya im on a Aspire 4520, and whenever i try to get to a tty, the screen goes all funny. this also happens when i try to shutdown the computer, the screen goes all funny and i have to push a key to get it to shutdown... any ideas on how to fix this? [11:24] hallo, kann mir bitte jemand helfen? ich bekomme den fritz wlan usb stick 125 nicht zum laufen [11:24] how do i install different fonts? [11:24] bullgard4: it creates a tar.gz with all your stuff that you can import back to a clean installed evolution [11:24] bullgard4: File>Restore Settings [11:24] finesch, #ubuntu-de for German [11:24] ok...so..ALL video players crash my system [11:24] !fonts [11:24] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [11:24] this is getting annoying [11:25] so, now I learned from this: if you want to install atunes [11:25] get java first [11:25] cheers [11:25] then install atunes [11:25] Nanaki: something wrong with the graphic driver i suspect.. [11:25] probably [11:25] im runing compiz fine though [11:26] bullgard4: "Rather, I am trying to copy them to another computer." just move the created tar.gz to that other computer [11:26] erusul do you know where i can change my graphic settings? [11:26] ciao a tutti [11:26] Nanaki: can you try with « mplayer -vo x11 video_file » [11:26] no [11:26] i mean [11:27] when i try to start up any video player [11:27] it crashes [11:27] so i cant even start up a video player [11:27] hi guys, pls can you help - advise me. I need flash player (ubuntu 9.04). My problem is that youtubu, is working fine, but for example netacad.cisco.com => here i can't launch this type of flash. have anyone idea, why..what i can do? pls [11:27] amarok works fine..so i know its not that [11:28] qualcuno può aiutarmi?? ho problemi con l'audio di ubuntu9.04 e non riesco a trovare un manuale che mi aiuti [11:28] Nanaki: i suspect that they crash when trying to use the xv xserver extension. « mplayer -vo x11 video_file » forces mplayer to use plain xserver [11:28] hmm [11:28] !it | filippo [11:28] ill give that a try [11:28] filippo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [11:28] ah ok nessun probl [11:28] :) [11:29] Nanaki: ati fglrx + compiz + xv used to be (and maybe still is) a no no [11:29] heya im on a Aspire 4520, and whenever i try to get to a tty, the screen goes all funny. this also happens when i try to shutdown the computer, the screen goes all funny and i have to push a key to get it to shutdown... any ideas on how to fix ?? [11:30] ok [11:30] im giving that option a try now [11:30] hopefully your right [11:30] erUSUL: I started the procedure which you suggested. [11:31] so your saying i cant use compiz if i wanna use a video player? [11:31] bullgard4: worked? [11:31] erUSUL: The procedure is not yet finished. [11:31] anyone who can help me with FLASH player issue? pls whisp me [11:32] bullgard4: you have a lot of mail ? it should be pretty fast... [11:32] erUSUL: Yes, I do. [11:33] bullgard4: ok; my backup is a 220 MB tar.gz [11:33] is jaunty expected to upgradt o the 2.6.30 kernel anytime soon? or does this type of change usually occur in major 6-month releases? [11:33] Nanaki: we have to find out if what i say its happening is actually happening ... [11:33] eshaase: the later [11:34] eshaase: but there are debs of the vanilla kernel (from kernel.org without ubuntu patches) on a ppa === andi is now known as Guest53017 [11:34] eshaase: for testing purposes [11:36] salut [11:37] erUSUL: It has worked! I have not yet tested everything, but the most recent emails have been copied onto the new computer. [11:37] erUSUL: can't i use karmic's kernel instead? [11:38] eshaase: you could try that too ... === paulcdancer is now known as Nanaki [11:39] so uh [11:39] stoping compiz let me open the video player [11:39] but as soon as i played a video it blackscreened [11:39] erUSUL: I have made another 3 small tests. They performed all right. -- Thank you very much for your help. === andi is now known as Guest29623 [11:39] erUSUL: ok, thanks [11:39] Nanaki: so its a driver bug related to compiz + xv.... [11:40] i believe so [11:40] Nanaki: is it working if you pause and then play the video again? [11:40] i cant play the videp [11:40] video* [11:40] it just blackscreened when i chose the file [11:41] had to power down [11:41] Nanaki: hm ok [11:41] so its more than likely a driver bug [11:41] maybe if i update to 9.04 it'll fix it? [11:41] Nanaki: its a pci-e card? [11:42] dont know [11:42] my graphics card? [11:42] Nanaki: is it a desktop pc? [11:42] its an integrated [11:42] im on a laptop [11:42] dell studio 17 [11:42] does anyone know what might trigger a kernel panic once every 2-4 days on a dell latitude d630 with nvidia graphics and intel wireless? [11:42] Nanaki: hm ok, had something like that because i fogort to plugin the powercable to the vga-card [11:42] ahh i see [11:42] im using a power cord now [11:43] oh well [11:44] i still have windows vista64 on a different partition here [11:44] so if i wanna watch a vid ill just boot that up [11:44] as much as i hate vista64 im glad i didnt erase it..still has some uses [11:46] bkraptor: report it [11:46] !bugs | bkraptor [11:46] bkraptor: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [11:46] hmm [11:46] erUSUL: there are too many bugreports about seemingly random kernel panics that one more wouldn't add anything new [11:46] bkraptor: ok; check the logs for any clue... [11:47] how to updaste firefox [11:47] erUSUL: I've just about read everything. it's not the nvidia card because the binary driver is not used [11:48] hello I need help. I'm plannig to turn my laptop to a home server (to save some electricity). Is it possible to setup RAID 1 on Xubuntu using 1 internal drive and 1 external drive (usb)? [11:48] bkraptor: checked memory with memetest? flaky hardware elsewhere ? it could be a lot of things.... [11:48] erUSUL: the laptop is stable, tried it with memtest for memory and mprime/prime95 for the cpu [11:48] kbp: yes porbably [11:48] HEY yall HOWDY!

[11:49] oenone1 i guess its "sudo apt-get update" in terminaal [11:49] JayX: fat32 or ntfs .. ntfs is usually better [11:50] grawity -3g??

It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [12:52] Rohaq: intel p4 3ghz ht. 1gb ram. nvidia 8800 GTS 320 mb, [12:52] overlord, not likely a common hardware component then :) [12:53] Rohaq: Turn off and turn on ?

[12:54] Rohaq: And it doesn't seem to be a hardware fault to me. I got XP on one of the partition. And I tested the sound there, it worked fine. [12:55] Hi... does anyone know how to disable /dev/input/mice - using the touchscreen results in two mouse taps being registered? [12:55] IGITIHI: Ask the real question. [12:55] overlord, it's an Acer Aspire One, 1.6GHz Atom, 1.5GB RAM, Intel 945GSE Express graphics [12:55] hmm [12:55] not sure about the sound hardware [12:55] [Nikola_93]: compiler. for the COOl language.

If I install jaunty from a cd, will I lose my data and programs? [12:56] does seem odd though [12:56] how to istall healo custom edition??

[12:56] yes [12:56] no [12:57] mobi-sheep, a seperate /home is a good idea [12:57] maybe [12:57] <[Nikola_93]> lianimator, wait a second, I saw it somewhere... [12:57] I wonder if the org.hsqldb.server.Server is the same as org.hsqldb.Servert (because I hav'nt this) [12:57] IGITIHI: You're quite sure about that? [12:57] Promille : i used the command 'tar xvfz truecrypt blah blah blah.tar.gz' [12:57] mobi-sheep: Yes. my system is dual boot [12:57] anyone here know how to roll back particular packages? [12:57] any one know anything about GIMP? [12:57] see if we can't test this stuff out? [12:58] where do external commands usually located [12:58] mobi-sheep: one partition is xp, the other ubuntu [12:58] Rohaq : you can force apt-get to install a specific version of a package [12:58] The-IT, /j #gimp === atlas` is now known as Atlas === Atlas is now known as atlas` [12:58] Rigongia: strange.. [12:58] IGITIHI: That's not what I'm looking for. [12:58] Promille : what's strange ? [12:58] can any1 help me wit GIMP?????

[13:00] mobi-sheep: ig I just install jaunty over the previous hardy installation? [13:00] gksudo gimp? [13:00] [Nikola_93]: thanks so much. I can't find it anywhere.

[13:01] pdgin not working wont connect [13:01] john_: if you dont know, then you shouldn't be givign out advice [13:01] IGITIHI: I'm afraid that you could install over your previous hardy installation (along with your personal + config files) and possibly XP / Vista. You're using separate partition. Yes... for Ubuntu and Vista, but I'm asking if there are more than that. [13:01] pidgin should use the same login that your AIM would use, oscar login IIRC. [13:01] sylvanus_: pidgin connects to AIM fine [13:02] well i always use gksudo to run gui apps via terminal so i know [13:02] john_: words cant express how stupid that is [13:02] mobi-sheep: yes, besides xp & ubntu, i have 2 more partitions [13:02] and why is it stupid? tell me? [13:03] give me facts [13:03] john_: i'm not gonna make you try to see the forrest when you can't see the trees.. if you're that foolish, you should just continue using windows [13:03] excuse me? im lpi certified mind you [13:03] O.o [13:03] john_: some of the biggest fools i know have some sort of certification after their name, so that means nothing,.

[13:05] okay [13:05] fine [13:05] mobi-sheep: the problem is that i can't boot into ubuntu anymore because i deleted the kernels and grubs give error 15-file not found.

Make a backup of everything and move it to somewhere. [13:07] JayX: in 9.04, its installed by default, so you should have no trouble accessing your ntfs partition "out of the box" [13:07] JayX: ntfs-3g is the latest FUSE based read-write ntfs drive [13:07] JayX: driver [13:07] !ntfs | JayX [13:07] JayX: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:07] JayX: not sure if it is installed by default, [13:08] IGITIHI: or under xp u can use explore2fs and access to ur home directory to back up it [13:08] Zxcvb: JayX it is... its installed by default and works "out of the box".. i've actually not had to install ntfs-3g, since probably 7.10 [13:08] many people access a specific computer this specific user installed an app [13:08] mobi-sheep: just home directory? [13:08] IndyGunFreak: Zxcvb oh well i parttioned my drive into 4 (win XP & Win 7 NTFS - Ubuntu-ext3, and my final data section i would like to view/read/write when in ay partition NTFS) [13:08] then a buddy of him who used the same computer was like a fan of that app [13:09] <[Nikola_93]> lianimator, kk [13:09] JayX: i have all my systems set up in a similar manner, it works fine. [13:09] IGITIHI: Home directory should be sufficient enough. [13:09] so the guy told his buddy to use the app that he downloaded [13:09] !ot > john_ [13:09] john_, please see my private message [13:10] IndyGunFreak: jus one thin i need to figure out, my boot screen (grub) [13:10] john_: you'll only get answers like "make sure that doesn't happen" or "install it in a shared space" .. you can make up lots of weird situations where you *have* to be root.. that still doesn't make it any better [13:10] JayX: whats wrong w/ it? [13:10] cool [13:11] yeah and not users are educated [13:11] not all users* [13:11] john_: basically.. don't give people or apps more power than they need to do their job.. that way they won't damage stuff if they do something bad, out of malice or by accident [13:11] john_: lol, thats the pot calling the kettle black given your other comments [13:11] mobi-sheep: ok, I run explore2fs and exported my home directory to a new folder on the xp destop [13:11] void pot() { kettle->black(); } [13:11] you dont get what im saying [13:12] john_: who are you talking to now? [13:12] mobi sheep: what next? [13:12] im saying is the other guy wants to use the app that his buddy installed [13:12] but he cant [13:12] !grub [13:12] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [13:12] IGITIHI: I'm unaware of explore2fs but if you can read the filesystem, that's fine. Make your backup. [13:12] JayX: what is the problem w/ grub? [13:12] so one way and the fastest way of troubleshooting is issuing a sudo [13:12] yeah it is a security issue [13:12] IndyGunFreak: well im not sure if it has a probelem but i would like my b oot screen to look a bit more neat [13:13] How would I get the Dev ID of my Ethernet card? I used sudo lshw to get my system specs but I see nothing of a dev ID for it. [13:13] but are you dumb enough to commit it? [13:13] JayX: if you won't define the issue, its fairly difficult to help [13:13] Amorstus: dev id? [13:13] IndyGunFreak: at the momment i have 4 options for ubuntu :S and Win Xp & Win 7 are grouped together [13:13] you are the administrator so issuing a sudo aint odd [13:13] Amorstus: you mean.. the mac address? [13:14] JayX: right, windows OS's get grouped together, Linux OS's get grouped together [13:14] Slart: No, its an ID that comes with the different versions of the card. But nvm, I just got help in another channel :P [13:14] I am connected to aim just fine through pidgin but it won't give me a drop list of rooms how do I join a chat in aim through pidgin?

I'm used to sudo pico. [13:16] i did that but I don't know what any of the rooms are [13:17] Batty5: doesn't encourage it... but a lot of new users don't know vi or pico, so its easier to tell them to use gedit or kate [13:17] IndyGunFreak I see. Thanks. :) [13:17] sylvanus_ just manually type in, I don't think I've ever seen an active Room List button there. [13:18] but if I don't know the name of any of the rooms then will it work? [13:18] anyone can help me with vinagre? [13:18] IndyGunFreak: is it noraml that ubuntu has 4 boot options? I have two Generic and two (recovery mode) and i think a Memtest. [13:18] i get a room list ok w/ yahoo, bu tnot AIM.. wierd [13:18] Anyone have experience with FTP server troubleshooting here? I'm not really familiar about how to troubleshoot my ftp server installations. While I can connect locally any remote command given to my FTP server times out after login. [13:19] JayX: its not normal, but its not abnormal, you just got an updated kernel, you can comment out the old entries in your grub list [13:19] IndyGunFreak: ah ok well im going to boot up ubuntu now, and try solve these issues [13:20] Batty5: did you get that last post? [13:21] sylvanus_ My response above yours answers that. Yes, it will work, you just have to type in the room name. [13:21] xavier: ok, I run explore2fs and exported my home directory to a new folder on the xp desktop. that all? [13:21] thats the thing how do I find the room name I want to go to? [13:21] i get grub error 15 - file not found after accidentaly deleting the kernel. can you please help me? [13:21] IndyGunFreak strange when you mentioned seeing yahoo roomlist, I clicked and it crashed Pidgin. :( I liked GAIM more. Seems to crash a lot here. [13:22] Batty5: it works fine for me... go figure [13:22] IGITIHI, apt-get install --reinstall the kernel [13:22] Batty5: If you're having problem with Yahoo protocol. Please join #pidgin and read the topic. [13:22] sylvanus_ Try contacting pidgin support. [13:22] mobi-sheep: its not the yaoo protocol [13:23] mobi-sheep I'm not complaining about it. Just mentioning something to IndyGunFreak. I do have an issue with timeouts that I'm trying to get assistance with. :( [13:23] cga: i tried but failed. this is the full story: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1191690 [13:23] http://tinyurl.com/mdws83 Batty5 [13:23] anyone can help me with vinagre?

[13:23] Batty5: the yahoo and pidgin issue is pretty easy to work around [13:23] paolo88: What's the issue? [13:24] Can someone help me enable wireless on a HP G60 with a Atheros AR5007EG(AR242x) card. I've tried everything but can't get it to work. [13:24] the kernel line on your grub config file cant find your kernel [13:24] IndyGunFreak: i got kernnel 2.6.28-11 and 2.6.28-13 (two generic & two recovery mode) which one should i boot from so I can remove these options from my boot loader? bazhang [13:24] -13 generic is current, so boot that one... [13:24] JayX: but you dont need to remove it, just comment them out [13:25] I'm actually at work, so software upgrades, LOL. :( Won't work so well with me trying to update chat client. [13:25] for some reason when I connect to yahoo through pidgin it keeps saying connecting and won't give me the room list!

I configure vinagre (server) and vino (client). I can controll the remote pc, but i see always the first frame.

[13:28] IndyGunFreak: to comment out i just place a hash " # " infromt of it [13:29] JayX: yup [13:29] JayX: towards th bottom, you'll see your actual menu list...(what shows in grub), just put a # sign in front of what you dont want [13:29] JayX: but unless you want errors, you'll need 1 generic, and 1 recovery entry [13:30] anyone know how to get gnome-do with docky working on jaunty I've tried all the guides... [13:30] mobi-sheep: ssh is only a terminal, or not? i want see all the the screen [13:30] paolo88: What are you trying to accomplish though? By using ssh, you can connect to your computer and use the commands to retrieve files, or just about anything you can do in the terminal. You can also toggle ssh -X to enable forward which would bring apps (ie firefox) to your window from your computer. [13:30] IndyGunFreak: so i should keep the -13 gneric and generic recovery mode available [13:30] JayX: thats what i would do.. [13:30] mobi-sheep: you know another vnc for ubuntu? [13:31] any help with grub error 15? [13:32] paolo88: apt-cache search vnc [13:32] IndyGunFreak: should i back up these grub settings? (the ones that i will apply now) just incase? [13:32] paolo88: apt-cache search vnc | grep client [13:32] paolo88: You might want to look up sites to find a confirmation for most popular vnc client. [13:32] JayX: i guess you could save a copy elsewhere, like menu.lst_backup or something.. [13:32] but i would save one you've not made changes to.

[13:34] What would happen if I ran the command "sudo apt-get remove python-gtk2"? [13:34] Novaesky: dont you have two control keys? [13:35] Novaesky: Give me an example. You're likely to be able to set up shortcut or bind a different key. [13:35] !shortcut | Novaesky [13:35] Novaesky: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [13:35] JayX: No, just one on the left side [13:35] hallo [13:35] IndyGunFreak: ok will reboot now n see what changes i have made [13:35] Hi plz I need a quick help [13:35] ok [13:35] hi [13:35] Novaesky: must be a very old laptop === maii is now known as Guest79353 [13:36] I installed UBUNTU and WIN and I had a problem [13:36] EmanSaad: we all need help, thats why were here [13:36] mobi-sheep: but i'm not sure that will let him assign an alternate CTRL key [13:36] What would happen if I ran the command "sudo apt-get remove python-gtk2"?

[14:23] JayX: I think so if you install it yourself, but that won't be that easy [14:23] JayX: have you checked the adobe site? my guess is that it isn't.. but I'm not sure [14:23] JayX: Yes. ;o [14:23] hi i cant see videos on firefox ,via ubuntu ,any soln ? [14:23] if i reinstall gnome i loose all the configuration? [14:23] JayX: oh.. a quick trip to google later and I've changed my mind.. it seems to be available for linux [14:24] safag: install Flash? [14:24] hello, I have a micro sd card, but when I plug it in to my ubuntu computer it doesn't do anything, I have data on it which I rather don't want to delete, what can I do about it?? [14:24] paolo88: not if you do a plain gnome-reinstall [14:24] slart: ??? [14:24] paolo88: the configuration files will still be there when you reinstall it.. there is a --purge option if you want to remove the settings too [14:24] please help: i want to remove and reinstall my whole apache2/php5/mysql installation. what do i have to remove exactly? which packages? [14:24] Slart: sebsebseb yea its a " .bin " file, [14:24] how do i install a .Bim file ? ? [14:25] ok...tanks [14:25] JayX: ./blablafile.bin should do it... possible a sudo in front of it [14:25] alberto2000: sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 php5 mysql [14:25] Slart: no I think it's a bit more difficult to do bins [14:25] JayX: chmod +x Adobe-Air.bin [14:25] Slart: got to make them exectuable first or whatever I think [14:26] alberto2000: if you run: dpkg -l | grep sql | less you will see the exact package names [14:26] JayX: sudo ./Adobe-Air.bin [14:26] hello [14:26] hi guys notice anything wrong with this: iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state NEW -i eth2 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT [14:26] why Ubimti fails so hard about sound?

[14:28] Bram_P: mount it. in geek mode, try in console: mount /dev/sdb1 or mount /dev/mmcm something [14:29] Bram_P: does it show up in: sudo fdisk -l [14:29] yeah I was wondering when ubuntu will be usable by normal people apart from software developers [14:29] sebsebseb: Slart cant get the bin to install :S [14:30] bobsto: its usable by many many normal users [14:30] bobsto: it already is, with a little help from someone with know how [14:30] bobsto: hmm.. so you're saying we're not normal? [14:30] sebsebseb: Slart cant i just right click the .bin file and install ? ? [14:30] JayX: sadly it's not as simple as that [14:30] bobsto: its just different to windows which they ave sed for many years and they find it hard to make the change [14:30] "WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!" how can i get that fixed ? :/ [14:30] bobsto: but these questions are really not on topic here.. try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic instead [14:30] JayX: ,because it's the stupid propritary stuff on Linux format [14:30] Slart: yes. normall people do not care about "sudo fdisk -l" or other mumbo-jumbo, they just want to use the SD card, for example [14:30] debian-archive-keyring [14:31] i got that one installed allready [14:31] ActionParsnip: I think it does, since there is one line which says something about a 4gb medium (which it is) and it only shows it when I've got it in [14:31] bobsto: average not so technical computer users, can get on absoutly great with Ubuntu, if someone helps them get set up a bit first [14:31] JayX: what does "can't get the bin to install" mean? what did you try? what happened? [14:31] sebsebseb: yeah 80% of things will work, what about the rest?

[14:41] ...files or get the partition mounted? [14:42] Amorstus: the partition gets mounted [14:42] Ace2017_-: you would have to upgrade through 7.10, 8.04, and 8.10, so clean install would be easier, and maybe you should do 8.10 instead of 9.04 for now untill 9.10, because it is better than 9.04 in certain ways, rather nice release to [14:42] myself: Meh.

[16:02] i want to upgrade my ubuntu but i get an error that /boot/ has not enough free space. how to solve it? [16:02] Dr_Willis: E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager [16:02] how do i go about cold booting a power mac g4 to select media (cd, usb) to boot, I would like to install linux on it? [16:02] Padhu_1: oh :( that suc ks.... anyways then i guess i''ll just hash # out the stuff i dont want to see, thankx! [16:03] del_diablo : Yes, I have those installed already. [16:03] wizzo50: that's a general irc support question.. you can either send an individual message with /msg nickname or open a sepearate chat window/tab/session with /query nickname [16:03] anyone with gparted experience here ? [16:03] MrStein: What's the problem? [16:03] MrStein: i used it twice [16:03] oconnore, so no sound in any music players? [16:03] how do i redirect output to /dev/null from WITHIN a script? That is, I call the script and inside that script takes care of redirection [16:03] How long should a ntfs resoze take ? [16:03] nope [16:03] MrStein, how big [16:03] it estimates 1 hour [16:04] 150 GB [16:04] oconnore, install pulse audio [16:04] I have problem with BT on HPnx6310. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and BT is not working. I can not set anything. I can set only visibility of BT icon. Do you have any idea? [16:04] FireStart I just happen to see it on mibbit and didn't know what it meant [16:04] MrStein: i find it takes a very long time.. resizing with the vista os/tools tool MUCH MUCH less time for my systems. [16:04] wizzo50: if you're using a gui irc client you can also open a context menu either on the channel list or in the chat window with a right click and usually find something like "open dialogue window" or something of that nature [16:04] MrStein: thats a Big HDD [16:04] oconnore i got no idea if it will work, but it could work [16:04] Euro: Now you can delete the lines started with # for permanent removal. Use 30 as timeout for reasonable [16:04] MrStein, hard to say with exactitude, could be a while though [16:04] MrStein: Linux took Hr+ - vista 10min perhaps... [16:04] wizzo50: another tip.. if you type the first couple of letters of a person's nick and press tab, most irc clients have autocompletion [16:04] wizzo50: nick autocompletion :) [16:04] Euro: it is a mostly empty partition. It should (and does, using command line tools) resize in less than a minute. [16:04] del_diablo I have that installed as well. [16:05] You don't- I tried it with the TAB [16:05] oconnore remove pulse audio then [16:05] Padhu_1: no i will keep them there, jusst hidden :P dont want to delet them, never know when i mihgt need them [16:05] wizzo50: which irc client are you using? [16:05] how do i redirect output to /dev/null from WITHIN a script? That is, I call the script and inside that script takes care of redirection [16:05] ewsubach: the shell is holding the file descriptors and should close them, other processes are not able to do that, afaik. maybe the used shell supports it? [16:05] #ubuntu [16:05] ltcabral: Are you findout the keyboard [16:05] ok [16:05] MrStein: well your formating the drivve also right/. not jsut resizing are you? [16:05] Last chance :-) ... I have problem with BT on HPnx6310. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and BT is not working. I can not set anything. I can set only visibility of BT icon. Do you have any idea? [16:05] on here [16:05] wizzo50: i'm talking about the program you use to get on the irc, not the channel :) [16:05] wizzo50, xchat? pidgin? [16:05] Euro: ? I resize. Just that. Resize. (rediced size) [16:05] Euro: ok. carry on [16:06] Padhu_1: no... there is NO keyboard in this new ubuntu that can fix my problem [16:06] drastys: i'm assuming you have a bt adapter? :P [16:06] Hi all !

[16:06] Fire ... no ... I have integrated BT [16:06] wizzo50, but which irc app [16:06] oskar-: looks like i'm out of luck, then. but thanks for replying [16:06] wizzo50: that's the server.. but which program/application are you using?

I tried it ... but it found nothing [16:08] wizzo50: in that case autocompletion should work :) [16:08] del_diablo: ok, pulse audio is gone.

[16:09] FiReSTaRT: It did now, I just didn't type enough letters on your name [16:09] Euro: XP and Vista are grouped in 'boot.ini' inside other OS and not in ubuntu. Windows booting uses chain loader technique which searches EXE file in all primary partitions invariably [16:09] oconnore, reboot and se if you can get sound now. [16:09] karzoff: switch to a tty (ctrl+alt+F1) and try startx as a command [16:09] wizzo50: good.. and right clicking on a nick and left-clicking on Open Dialog Window opens a separate chat tab with a person :) [16:09] oconnore, for the note [16:09] FireStart: everything waht I can do whit Bt is that I have set visibility of BT icon [16:10] Euro: You may increase the timing in WIndows VIsta to select XP/Vista on boot screen [16:10] del_diablo : ok, I will be back then :) I'll let you know how it goes. [16:10] oconnore: one of them must have caused a conflict thus no sound [16:10] oconnore, if you figur out which is that is the peoblem [16:10] oconnore, its solved [16:10] Fire: I can not set another options [16:10] del_diablo: no, i installed pulse audio audio after there was already a problem [16:10] drastys: that's weird.. like for my comp i have to use a separate adapter ($3 off fleabay lol) but it connects without any issues [16:10] so i don't think it was a conflict [16:11] but i will restart anyways if you think it will help [16:11] oconnore, ok [16:11] drastys: when you rightclick on the icon you have the set up new device option and then you just use the device and the setup wizard to connect [16:11] Euro: Using ubuntu with windows will disappoint linux usage [16:11] oconnore, then either oss or alsa is the problem [16:11] I get an error message on start-up of ubuntu, that leads to a distorted/no log-in screen.

[16:17] Predictable, you always have to have the headers or kernel sources [16:18] gumbotron: when you test the ports are you doing it from inside the lan or outside? [16:18] Predictable, its a requirement for building all kernel modules [16:18] gumbotron: the upnp feature of most routers make it not an issue these days. you have to enable upno on the torrent client and router i recall.

[16:45] Halitech: bim monkey? is that Media monkey [16:45] tripoa: I am not 100% sure we can do this on WUBI but we'll give it a shot. Do you have the partition manager installed?

[16:59] the9a3eedi, strange indeed, tab completion works for me for file names starting with a dot :| [16:59] Halitech: yes . i've been told by someone in this room that it can be installed and someone saying it can't be... what' the final ?? [17:00] Slart: thanks! I'm going to try ;) Bye, bye, Ubuntu Dell :) [17:00] rameshwor, packages from 9.04 I would say probably yes, from the live cd, definate no [17:00] serengeti, hmm.. meh, no big deal I guess [17:00] I'm still getting the hang of apt... how do I get it to list all the files belonging to a specific package? [17:01] the9a3eedi, maybe go to Places - Home folder, click View- Show hidden files, it should show up in the file list. [17:01] Halitech: ok.. i understood you. i told that same to some one (***** or ... ) in the room but they insisted that how can't there be packages int the cd .. there must be.. === Zathara is now known as Zathara_OFF [17:02] is there a package to do voice chat in ubuntu???with yahoo messenger account and google talk??? [17:02] rameshwor, I'm trying to find the link on the forum to a conversation I was involved in a few days ago, the live cd uses the squashfs to run from the cd so its not actual packages (if I remember the convo right) [17:02] Halitech: ok....then can i upgrade 8.10 ubuntu to xubuntu 9.04 from the iso ??without writing to cd ? [17:03] I found the file I needed without apt. never mind [17:03] krishmish: ekiga [17:03] hi people! the 2.6.28-13 kernel.. does it have the intel graphix fixed?? [17:03] oskar-: okay [17:03] rameshwor, no, it can't be used to upgrade, only the alt install cd can upgrade [17:03] Hi, how to enable cube gears in compizconfig. I have already check it on in compizconfig settings manager. But what is the heat key when I implement is\t? [17:03] krishmish: oh, not with yahoo or google, it is a sip client, afaik [17:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-795817.html ajax4 check this [17:04] oskar-: how do i voice chat gtalk and yahoo in ubuntu? [17:04] is there something wrong with pidgin and yahoo? mine will no longer connect. [17:04] progre55 : fixed in what sense ? I could perfectly use my intel integrated graphic card even with the 2.6.28-11 [17:04] Halitech: then i should overwrite 8.10 to xubutu 9.04 .. so i can't install just the x-desktop in 8.10 ?? [17:04] oskar-: i heard about kopete [17:04] krishmish: i don't know... [17:04] oskar-: hows that? [17:04] I am new to Ubuntu. What is the best way to learn ubuntu? [17:04] I'm using 8.10. Why is my /dev so full? There are what seems like a hundred each of tty's and pty's and tens of vcs's . Where could I find an explanation to what these are? [17:04] funny question but how can you tell if you have just hibernated or suspended? [17:05] vaughn: the best way is to try the live cd and follow the tutorials [17:05] vaughn: [17:05] Rigongia, well, the intel driver support.. for instance my video really sucked after upgrading to Jaunty, so I had to manually fix it by upgrading to 2.6.30-rc4 [17:05] vaughn: and if u are using windows,u can installl ubuntu within windows [17:05] lesshaste : my guess is by the time it takes to start up, because (if i'm not wrong) suspension recovers from RAM, so is faster than hibernation [17:05] rameshwor, you could see if there is a PPA with the files you are looking for, otherwise, you're looking at updating to 9.04 [17:06] Although if you install it into a key drive (flash drive) it's useful too, since you can take it with you. [17:06] Rigongia, ok but no log will tell you? [17:06] vaughn: and more interestingly, u can use sun xVM virtual box to set up a virtual machine and try it [17:06] Rigongia, the UXA support I mean [17:06] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html vaughn [17:06] progre55 : i'll have to study a bit more :P i don't know what UXA is :) [17:06] Would anybody else know about the error message, "modprobe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/modules.dep no such file or directory"? [17:07] Halitech: the thing i want is the X-desktop . for fast performance...so i think i should install xubuntu over ubuntu8.10 .... fine or any other way ? [17:07] Rigongia, =) never mind then [17:07] !compiz [17:07] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [17:07] brb [17:07] lesshaste : honestly i have no idea [17:07] vaughn: Well, I just used xubuntu's pendrivelinux programs to install Xubuntu onto a Flash Drive. Took... 20 minutes at the most, since my internet is slightly slower than others. [17:07] is there an operating system just aimed at enthusiast that is written in assembly? [17:07] rameshwor, do you have a seperate /home partition? [17:07] rameshwor just install ubuntu and in synaptic install xfce then you can select the session at the log in screen [17:07] for xfce [17:07] vaughn: They also have some good information about Ubuntu there. If not, I can try to find you a link to a good tutorial about xubuntu. [17:08] Halitech: don't worry .. i will copy my important files to windows partition.. [17:08] frozenskies, not exactly [17:08] frozenskies, do you really mean a whole OS or just maybe a kernel? [17:08] Halitech: i have downloaded audio codecs and 2-3 apps.. can i save that too ?? [17:09] rameshwor, just wondering cause directions will be different depending .... other option, upgrade to 9.04 then install xubuntu-desktop and remove ubuntu-desktop [17:09] just some small kernel and maybe some small utilities, not designed for any purpose but just to much around with [17:09] i wouldn't remove ubuntu-desktop [17:09] Not unless you really know what you're doing.l === Guest94713 is now known as Ivoz [17:10] ubuntu-desktop is safe to remove [17:10] Halitech: upgrade through what ??by burning iso ? [17:10] frozenskies, not Ubuntu? [17:10] bazhang: Thanks for the link. It's a ton of stuff to do but I'll try it out. [17:10] riley, why not? [17:10] I tried using Pidgin to get on this channel and ended up having to go to Chatzilla. How do I get on using Pidgin eventhough I do not have a Username nor password for freenode and IRC [17:10] I simply unpacked the ISO using the installer. o.o; [17:10] rameshwor, update manager [17:10] Didn't have to burn it at any point. [17:10] vaughn: You don't need a password - and the "username" you need is actually the nickname. [17:10] are there any programs that change you i.p. without reinstalling the OS? [17:11] zaccour: You don't need to reinstall to change the IP. [17:11] vaughn, what about using a real irc client such as xchat or irssi [17:11] grawity, how do i do it? [17:11] Halitech:ok.. [17:11] vaughn: Configure it like this: Protocol ICQ, username "vaughn", server "chat.freenode.net", no password. [17:11] vaughn: er, protocol IRC. [17:11] got my googlefu on and solved this PARTLY hey all, one of the 3 drives in my computer crashed, i replaced it but when i log in a message appears user's $home/.dmrc is being ignored..................... after which a blank screen appears any suggestions to remedy this [17:11] zaccour: Why do you want to do it? [17:11] hello [17:12] mow i have a blanck desktop any help will be appreciated [17:12] zaccour: You have to unplug your computer from your net along with your router (This is if you areu sing DSL) directly, and from that leave it offline for about a day. It'll change your IP when you reconnect them. [17:12] was looking at needing some help regarding TightVNC and remote access [17:12] grawity, personal reasons, i reinstall my OS to do it when i do and i wanna do it without doing that [17:12] i have installed the latest madwifi-drivers which should ahve support for my wireless card (i have had it working in a previous version of ubuntu) but i cant seem to get it to work now. Does anyone have a clue on how to search for errors preventing it from working? [17:12] I can't seem to get it to login after I've opened the right ports [17:12] Zerachiel, reinstalling ubuntu takes about 12 minutes, is this the fastest way? [17:12] Halitech: can i update from the iso live cd ? i guess you told no.. [17:13] I don't think it changes your IP. It would change your local IP, but not your actual IP I don't think? [17:13] i know windows has some program that does it everytime you restart, is there something like that for linux? [17:13] Could someone give me some help on this one? [17:13] rameshwor, no you can't update from the live cd [17:13] I am not sure if reinstalling the OS will actually change your IP from the router, since it would only change the IP assigned by the router, right? [17:13] rameshwor: use alternate cd to upgrade from cd [17:14] zaccour, for that you just need to change your mac address [17:14] Zerachiel, depends on if the IP is mapped to a MAC address or not [17:14] Is these any Text-To-Speech software avaiable for Japanese, except the M$ SAPI? [17:14] Yeah, that makes sense there. [17:14] I"m using TightVNC from a Windows box, and trying to access my linux box remotely. I keep getting a connection refused from TightVNC, and I have all the ports open correctly. What can I do to make this work? [17:14] Zerachiel: why are you trying to change your IP? like you need a new external IP? [17:15] zhan_zr, festival does text to speech [17:15] I'm not trying to change mine, someone else was asking. [17:15] yagga: http://www.ubuntuproductivity.com/journal/ubuntu/08/2008/fix-ubuntu-dmrc-permissions-error-on-login/ [17:15] Halitech: Thanks, I will have a try. [17:15] I'm trying to eject a flash drive, but it is busy, lsof show four processes using the device, all related to a backup that just finished. Is there a way to kill all four processes at one time? [17:15] Zerachiel, read my message please [17:15] Goioo: enable remote connection in ubuntu (System > Preferences) [17:15] zaccour, depends on if you have things set up for a static or dynamic IP [17:15] hi there I am new Ubuntu users and I installed ubuntu server 9.04 64 bit on virtual box and also I would lik to install dns and dhcp on this server how should I do ? [17:15] I have enabled remote connection [17:15] can anyone explain me [17:16] thank you [17:16] too much [17:16] boraklavun: apt-get install dhcp3-server bind9 [17:16] Like, from within my own home network underneath my router I can access it just fine [17:16] i know when i reinstall Ubuntu i'm unbanned from chats i was banned at before, just wanna know if there is a faster way, like an application of some sort [17:16] zaccour: there are about 3 ways [17:16] thank you sh3r1ff [17:16] It comes up desktop and all, but when I try to access it through the IP address with port forwarding it gives me a connection refused [17:16] zaccour, depends on how you were banned and what site you are talking about [17:16] I am trying right now [17:16] zaccour: the first is if you are on a router then you login to the router and release your IP and renew it. that'll probably change it. [17:17] zaccour, http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/changemac [17:17] zaccour: the second is to ifdown wlan0 or whatever your adapter name is and ifup it after that. [17:17] any php sqlite generator in ubuntu [17:17] hey guys, can someone tell me who's running syslogd in your system [17:17] keith-: 99,99% change you get the same ip ;) [17:17] zaccour: the last is not to be a dumbass and get banned. [17:17] Yeah, lol. [17:17] hello [17:17] +1 on that keith [17:17] That makes the most sense. Don't. Get. Banned. [17:17] zaccour: they are just going to ban you again when they realize it is you. [17:18] keith-, i don't know what you mean. do those commands change it? [17:18] how can i update my gcc library ?? [17:18] Which is when you get blacklisted on sites, and sometimes banned from sites even though you were never no them. [17:18] I'm thinking it might be something with my router, but I used the VNC test page and it seemed to work okay [17:18] #mirc [17:18] not to mention a lot of irc bans are based on user and/or your IP... === yacc__ is now known as yacc [17:18] i was banned on a xat chat [17:18] And some IRC bans can be spread to other IRCs depending on how they are. [17:18] when i reinstall Ubuntu i'm unbanned [17:19] I went to www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/nettest.cgi, and it connects to the port, and the last message says unknown server [17:19] zaccour, do you know what your IP address was before you reinstalled and what it is now? [17:19] [17:19] zaccour: just stop getting yourself banned. are you wired straight to your modem or are you on a router/ [17:19] keith-, wired router [17:19] same thing as modem [17:20] i have to use a wired router because my modem has just one port and i play ps3 online [17:20] how can i update my gcc library ?? [17:20] Anyone else having problems connecting via yahoo in kopete? [17:20] zaccour: those aren't the same thing. is it a modem/router combo like the one at&t has now? [17:20] Bsims:yahoo is having problem in pidgin also.... [17:20] keith-, no but the same i.p. [17:20] Bsims: There is a fix for that [17:21] zaccour: unplug your damned modem for about 10 minutes... someone else will probably pull your IP from you after ten minutes. plug your modem back in. [17:21] Goioo: what is the fix? [17:21] zaccour, looks like a web based chat site, possible when you are booted they place a cookie on your computer in the temp files, just try clearing them [17:21] zaccour: there is no reason reinstalling ubuntu would change that. so either they are unbanning you in the 15 minutes it takes to reinstall ubuntu or there is something else you are doing tooo [17:22] BSims: You have to change the login server. use the address cs127.msg.mud.yahoo.com [17:22] Is their a process list type thing where i can see what is taking all my CPU? my fan i going nuts trying too cool it down from 50C [17:22] hi, i'm getting no sound since i woke up my computer from hibernation [17:22] DVA5912: top ;) [17:22] how do i clear cookies in firefox? [17:22] is there some command i can use to restart sound?? [17:22] zaccour: these days you can pick up a 2wire modem+wireless router combo for $30ish off fleabay... the downer is that you're stuck with wep unless you pick up a separate router [17:22] like killing something [17:22] Sh3r1ff: ? [17:22] wolter: just be happy it woke up :P [17:22] Bsims: http://www.celticwolf.com/useful-information/faqs/26-pidgin-yahoo [17:22] zaccour, tools - clear private data [17:22] zaccour: might i suggest one more time that you not be an idiot and get yourself banned. perhaps if they keep banning you and you feel it is wrong then this isn't the best chatroom to hang out in [17:23] DVA5912: type in a terminal "top" ;) [17:23] FiReSTaRT, hah, does your computer not wake up? [17:23] Thanks [17:23] I have an ATI card. Compiz is installed and enabled but wont work, and when i try to enable visual effects it says that it could not be enabled. Anyone know why? [17:23] Halitech, thankis [17:23] i wanna watch the matrix but my damned dvd is one state away [17:23] webAccess? [17:23] WTF at 100% [17:23] keith-, just asking a question, no reason to be a smartass [17:23] hi guys...is there any way to change the font size and font of the clock...but not the font of anything else? [17:23] but no really, is there some way i can restart sound without rebooting? I am compiling wine and it is not going to finish soon [17:23] zaccour: i was just being honest. not a smartass. [17:23] wolter: i haven't tried suspend to disc on jaunty.. worked on intrepid but it was slower than a reboot.. doesn't wake up from suspend to ram at all (just blank screen).. I <3 nvidia :D [17:24] keith-: Download it? [17:24] how do i kill PID 6441? [17:24] I am new to Ubuntu, having gone through Vista H*ll. How is the Ubuntu community different from other Communities? [17:24] keith-, oh ok [17:24] can someone tell me who's running syslogd in your system [17:24] DVA5912: kill 6441 ;) [17:24] wolter, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart ?? [17:24] I have an ATI card. Compiz is installed and enabled but wont work, and when i try to enable visual effects it says that it could not be enabled. Anyone know why? [17:24] FiReSTaRT, that happened to me, but my problem was solved by just using the laptop lid as the trigger to wake it up [17:24] IrishAndy: yeah that's one of those things i try not to do too much. i am poor enough as it is [17:24] i don't know if it should be root or syslog [17:24] Halitech, let me try, thank you! [17:24] IrishAndy: because you habe an ati ;) [17:25] clear cookies didn't work [17:25] vaughn: we dont tell you to go buy $20 shrareware crud - inorder to fix basic problems/supply needed features. :) [17:25] keith-: ah ok [17:25] holly crap that thing overclocked my cpu before it left. [17:25] Sh3rff can we talk private room [17:25] 145% CPU [17:25] wolter, I could be off on the alsa part [17:25] wolter: didn't work in my case.. and i've also tried all fo the workarounds out there.. still waiting for a fix [17:25] didn't work [17:25] about that do you have any time ? [17:25] i don't know how reinstalling my OS does it, but i wanna do it without having to do that [17:25] boraklavun: sure [17:25] how to compile rpm in ubuntu ? [17:25] Sh3r1ff: Can i not use visual effects with an ATI card? [17:25] FiReSTaRT, which laptop do you have? [17:25] hi all ... first time here after 2 years on Ubuntu only ... what was the name of the other popular OS ... windows something (I forgot I also use a little hackintosh ... I want to look at my photos on a calibrated monitor) [17:25] wolter: try pulseaudio -k [17:25] Dr. Willis, in other words running Ubuntu is not about profit. What would you say the whole Ubuntu movement is about? [17:26] wolter: dv9000-series hp pavilion [17:26] IrishAndy: ati isn't the greatest when it comes to linux [17:26] come on! just paste the line of "ps aux | grep syslog" !! [17:26] Sh3r1ff: =[ [17:26] ahh, didn't work either.. [17:26] wolter: it doubles as a laptop/blunt clubbing instrument of destruction... can also be used to weigh a pickup trucks rear wheels down :P [17:26] how does reinstalling the OS unban people from xat chats? maybe i can find out that way [17:26] Sh3r1ff: My old laptop had an ATI card and i had no trouble running compiz? Surely this new laptop with better card should be able to handle it? [17:26] lol [17:27] should i need to convert rpm to deb before installing or what ? how to install .rpm ?? [17:27] vaughn: thats documented at the ubuntu homepage what ubuntu is 'about' :) [17:27] zaccour: it doesnt [17:27] IrishAndy: it should as long as you have the right drivers :D [17:27] FiReSTaRT, i've heard of some other dude with the dv8000 and it had problems too :( [17:27] vaughn: use the key to auto-complete nicknames.. other wise messages may get lost. [17:27] !ubuntu [17:27] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [17:27] Hilikus, it does for me [17:27] Maybe I can have someone test my Remote Desktop connection to see if they can access it [17:27] zaccour: correlation doesn't imply causation [17:27] Hi I'm on ubuntu 9.04. How can I eliminate the keyring prompt for a WPA Wifi at each boot? My keyring password and root password are the same. [17:28] hay [17:28] FiReSTaRT: Ah, do you know where i can get the right drivers for ubuntu? [17:28] Do I have to be a geek or a Techy to use Ubuntu or is it easy to learn? [17:28] wolter, just checked my /etc/init.d folder and no alsa stuff there at all, I know there is a command I just can't think of it [17:28] zaccour: you're probably just changing ip when you reboot and the ban is an ip ban [17:28] wolter: still better than the default (vista).. i was willing to sacrifice suspend, hdmi sound and built-in mic :P [17:28] lorenzosu: ive seen that asked befor.. but never seen a good answer. :() [17:28] hello [17:28] Halitech, i ran alsa-utils restart [17:28] vaughn: define easy [17:28] wow [17:28] Hilikus, its not an ip ban, reboot doesn't unban [17:28] IrishAndy: you have a fresh install of ubuntu right now? [17:28] l.m engles later [17:28] FiReSTaRT: Yeah [17:28] zaccour: you said reboot DID unban [17:29] wolter: when streaming to the tv i just plug in pc speakers.. the quality isn't nearly as good but at least its functional.. a cheapass mike fixes issue #3 [17:29] lorenzosu, the password is only asked when on security-enabled wifi connections [17:29] IrishAndy: done all of the updates? [17:29] sadly i don't know how to fix it yet suffer from the same flaw [17:29] vaughn, depends on your defanition of easy, can you click on icons? [17:29] Hilikus, reinstalling Ubuntu unbans [17:29] lorenzosu: a fix is mentioned at --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1101618 [17:29] vaughn: i mean it is relatively easy... but just like in windows... when things aren't working right it can be trouble to fix. [17:29] wolter: you may even luck out.. i've tried all of the fixes and no go [17:30] FiReSTaRT, tough [17:30] For Instance, I tried to go to Pidgin to use IRC and get to this channel and could not find out how. The instructions to get on the channel did not show exactly how to get on this channel. When I went to Chatzilla however, all i needed to do was install chatzilla az an addon and choose this channel and I was hooked!!!! [17:30] zaccour: just reinstall ubuntu. stop asking us how to get unbanned from a chatroom. or learn to use tor if it means that much to you [17:30] that is easy!!!! [17:30] if you go and have 3 beers and come back that will also unban you [17:31] wolter: well at least 2 out of 3 have workarounds and now that i'm not taking c.e. courses, the unsolvable one doesn't seem so critical [17:31] vaughn: may not be that easy as windows.. but little increase in difficulty but a huge increase in power.. tha't linux.. [17:31] its probably a timed ban [17:31] anyway, irrelevant [17:31] vaughn: pidgin isn't linux. in fact it runs on windows too. and this is irc. learning irc can be tricky too. it is more command line and less point and click than your average porn webcam chatroom [17:31] for me Ubuntu is easier than windows [17:31] FiReSTaRT: No had not thought of that. Running the updater now [17:31] rameshwor, I like your explanation. In other words, I should simply endure to be more empowered!!!! [17:31] vaughn, its all a matter of prespective, if you think its hard it will be, if you think its a windows replacement, you'll be in for a hard time with it [17:32] no security software needed, no having to open applications and update them one at a time, etc [17:32] vaughn: you must sacrifice your little time for learning and you get a lot power... [17:32] IrishAndy: once you're done with all of the updates, reboot your machine and click on System, Administration, Hardware Drivers and when the applet opens, check which ones are available.. there should be one for your display adapter [17:32] i have a small 2mb memory photo frame.. http://pastebin.ca/1467730 thats having dmesg | tail and lsusb.. any idea how to make it working? [17:32] keith-, and we know how many people can get on porn websites and use the cams ~L~ [17:32] what user is supposed to run syslogd? [17:32] IrishAndy: speaking of which, which video card do you have? [17:32] root or syslog? [17:32] zaccour, thanks for the explanation. I am hooked!!!!!!!! [17:33] i have installed the latest madwifi-drivers which should ahve support for my wireless card (i have had it working in a previous version of ubuntu) but i cant seem to get it to work now. Does anyone have a clue on how to search for errors preventing it from working? [17:33] vaughn, yw [17:33] Hilikus: syslog ;) [17:33] slm [17:33] updates are much like bsd, which is what mac is [17:33] Strange, it runs as root here [17:33] kimse var mı [17:33] !nvidia > me === WelshDragon is now known as YDdraigGoch [17:33] legend2440, please see my private message [17:33] Is Ubuntu the best Linux distribution and why? [17:34] vaughn: shut up. no more talky from you [17:34] any recommendations for a gnome dvb-s viewer? xine is ... pita, me-tv refuses to recognize my dvb-device :( [17:34] vaughn, best depends on the user and what they are doing [17:34] hey. Im having some weird messages coming in on postfix, and getting denied. this shows up in syslog. http://p.linode.com/2577 . What scares me is that there is "teampronto.com" on the server, but i dont know where a preston@teampronto.com would come from [17:34] vaughn: you will get banned for questions like that. then where will you go to ask how to get unbanned? [17:34] vaughn: there is no best linux distribution.. i like ubuntu because it's easy to install/use, comes with great software support and most hardware works out of the box === lens is now known as dejawuuu [17:34] Ktorrent. and other k.... will they work on xubuntu .. ? do i need to install any other things to make it work ? [17:34] Sh3r1ff: what version? i'm on 7.1 livze cd right now and its root [17:34] !wireless | zicho [17:34] zicho: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:34] firestart, thank you for answering the question. I appreaciate your answer. [17:35] there is one reason and one reason only why i installed ubuntu over fedora or suse [17:35] thx [17:35] it comes on a cd instead of a dvd [17:35] rameshwor: it should work on ubuntu.. your package manager should install all of the dependencies [17:35] rameshwor, they will install and work and should pull in any dependencies it needs to work [17:35] Hilikus: ubuntu 8.04 [17:35] anyone: do you recomment installing apache2, mysql, php5 etc by lamp-stack or separately? [17:35] Sh3r1ff: you checked this or you just assumed? [17:35] Halitech: ok...but what if i downloaded the app. from third party sites... [17:35] i need to shower. i´ll be back in a bit [17:36] rameshwor, then you would need to get them seperately [17:36] Hilikus: checked ;) [17:36] Sh3r1ff: thanks! [17:36] Halitech: what things to get... any gtk+ like...... [17:36] sorry.. wrong channel. thought this was #ubuntu-server [17:37] rameshwor, not sure off the top of my head, did you get a .deb file or source? [17:37] Halitech: not yet.. but trying to get one.. maybe it says kde. configuration files not found or so.....i had tried before some days.. [17:38] hi, ... i have problem with my cam on campaq CQ40 [17:38] hallo [17:38] keep getting connection refused from VNC [17:38] any ideas? [17:38] rameshwor, I would suggest using synaptic to install it so it keeps updated automatically instead of chancing breaking something [17:39] Halitech: yes but if download stops( internet stops) then the synaptic will again start from beginnign isn't it ? [17:40] rameshwor, not sure how that works but it shouldn't be that big [17:40] rameshwor: already downloaded packages with synaptic remain on disk [17:40] why doesn't my cd-rom drive appear in /etc/fstab? [17:40] Sh3r1ff; location ???? [17:41] how do i change my flash settings? [17:41] rameshwor: not sure, but not revelant, when you install something with synaptic if it is not present, it will download it, if it is already downloaded, no need to download it again [17:43] How has everyone's experience with Chrome been for Ubuntu? [17:43] Sh3r1ff: if i want to install rpm packags... then ? i need to convert to .deb .. ? i'm learning to handle source codes and packages from CLI .... [17:43] vaughn: i dont like it... at all. [17:45] does anyone know what /var/run/utmp is? [17:45] What is the best browser for Ubuntu? I tried Opera and it was not good either. [17:45] vaughn: Firefox IMHO [17:45] how do i change my flash settings? [17:45] I can only begin programming with eclipse? [17:45] right click on a flash page does not work, just a frozen dialog box of tabs i can't click [17:45] IndyGunFreak: is google chrome for Linux out? the google site says Google Chrome for Linux is in development and a team of engineers is working hard to bring it to you as soon as possible. [17:46] Can anyone tell me how I can download mp3 audifiles from the net to my desktop on Ubuntu? [17:46] right click on a flash page does not work, just a frozen dialog box of tabs i can't click. is this a bug? [17:46] vaughn: download? use a browser if its on a web site.. .or ask a more clear question. [17:46] vaughn are you paying for the .mp3 files or stealing them? [17:47] Ok im back, I installed 8.10 and that stupid geforce card 5500fx still had nothing but 2 low resos. I put this radeon 7000 back in it, does anyone know how to update the drivers for it? [17:47] Predictable, 9.04 is much faster than 8.10 [17:47] !ot | Caligula [17:47] Caligula: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:47] they are free files that are online. My aim is to save the files to my desktop so that I can use them in a program that requires sound. [17:47] zaccour: I reinstalled 9.04 when I put this radeon 7000 card back in [17:48] Predictable: i recall that for my 5500 card i had touse the nvidia-legacy driver.. not the nvidia one. (but ive not toyed with that box in months.. so th package name i am rembering may be wrong) [17:48] Dr_Willis: if i want to install rpm packags... then ? i need to convert to .deb .. ? i'm learning to handle source codes and packages from CLI .... [17:48] vaughn, right click - save file as doesn't work? [17:48] how do i change flash settings? there is a bug with the right click on a flash site [17:48] any idea, how to make my compaq CQ40 cam works ? [17:48] I will try it now. [17:48] dr_willis: yeah it may of worked, but the 5500 isn't listed under the legacy drivers. But im done fulling with it for awhile. [17:49] anyone know how to change flash settings? or is this just a bug from adobe [17:49] dr_willis: any chance u know how to update radeon 7000 drivers. Hardware finds nothing. [17:49] hello people [17:49] hello World [17:49] you bot? [17:50] ^-) [17:50] it is my first connection here [17:50] Does mono slow down my system as people say ? [17:50] anyone know how to change flash settings? or is this just a bug from adobe [17:50] right click DOES NOT WORK [17:50] sy64: i think you want welcome... ok. so welcome welcome... [17:50] Predictable: Im pretty sure its the legacy ones.. in the past i accidently insalled the newer nvidia ones for both my machines.. took me an hr+ to realize i was using the wrong one for the 5500 box. [17:50] flash player for linux sucks hard right now [17:50] how do i see which modules are loaded? [17:50] i right click, click settings, and get a frozen dialog box [17:50] yeah true [17:51] and i hope obtain informations later about ubuntu [17:51] will flash improve? is there a way to change settings other than right click? [17:51] Predictable: ati has been removing support for many cards from their fglrx drivers.. many cards now use the GPL drivers. [17:51] dr_willis: I was going to try that but Im hot and got tired of it.. I may tonight or so. [17:51] Predictable: and thats all i know on ATI. :) [17:51] dr_willis: gpl drivers so any chance u know where to find em? [17:52] Predictable: yes.. :) they are allready there built in... [17:52] Predictable: no need to look. [17:52] dr_willis: ahh ok so im all set then. so theres no other driver newer or better besides what ubuntu has right? [17:53] Predictable: ATI has removed support for many of their cards from th4e fglrx drivers.. there will only be updated gpl drivers for those cards from now on. (and yes some features ARE missing in the gpl drivers) (one reason i stick with nvidia) [17:53] does the catalyst 9.6 driver support Radeon Mobility HD 3670? In the release notes i don't see that exact line, but i do see radeon 3670, hd 3600 series, etc [17:53] I cannot log onto yahoo messenger in Pidgeon, anyone else having problems? [17:54] Yea - I figured out how to disalbe Network-Manager from wanting my password. at login.... [17:54] Tamnakz: It's "Pidgin", and yes, many people are having problems with Yahoo. [17:54] for those that want to know --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7470795 [17:54] dr_willis: I noticed when I first installed ubuntu with radeon b4 I remembered about that old 5500fx compiz when I got it working didn't do everything such as rain/water effects. ect. Maybe it was the way I set it up but I dunno im new lol . [17:54] Tamnakz: /join #pidgin [17:54] Predictable: i disable 90% of all compiz stuff.. i rarely enable it at all on most machines [17:54] lvlefisto, can you explain? [17:55] ahh, a channel here for pidgin? I've never used this chat save for this [17:55] dr_willis: im sure id do the same thing, but coming from windows its pretty cool at first lol [17:55] Tamnakz: yahoo is changing server software, so pidgin has to adapt to it and it wouldn't be soon [17:55] I have a macbook pro 15" and ubuntu hasn't detected my wireless card. Any help? [17:55] òóò ðóñ åñòü [17:55] so is there any alternative for the time being? [17:56] hello world [17:56] I can only begin programming in JAVA with eclipse?

I try to get my new iPod Shuffle 4th generation (4 GB) running on Ubuntu 9.04. I can access it with e.g. Songbird and copy music, but when I turn the iPod on it tells me to use iTunes to sync music. Can anyone help? [17:58] the horribly flawed flash player port Linux has is un freakin acceptable. i'm gonna email them about this right now [17:59] kev2121: all you need is jdk and an editor, eclipse is just a handy toolto program in java [17:59] is there any way to change flash settings other than right click? tabs in settings are frozen === tiago is now known as Guest47722 [18:00] Sh3r1ff: thanks... which editor? [18:00] zaccour: maybe this works: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html [18:00] kev2121: vi, vim, gedit, ... [18:01] mds1, as far as i know, iphones, ipod touch and well, I don't know about nano's or shuffles, but anything newer that the ipod video is under new driver based interface, so I don't know of any apps that will work. === zz_Dink is now known as Dink [18:01] Thanks. Any idea where to ask/how to find out? [18:01] kev2121: although i suggest to use eclipse, it is really handy to control your classes and to test your code [18:02] Ubuntu 9.04 I have to run the command "sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start" every time I boot one pc otherwise NetworkManager doesn't start and their is no way to start it from the icon. Any idea what file I have to edit to fix this? [18:02] After 8.04.1>8.10 dist upgrade on my laptop computer some special keys of the keyboard do not function properly in GNOME any more. E. g. AltGr+X echos in the 'Keyboard settings' dialog as 'x', in a GNOME terminal AltGr produces a line feed. Keyboard model=Generic 105-key (Intl)PC. In a virtual console the keyboard layout is okay. How to troubleshoot? [18:02] mds1, also, most apps use the same library, libipod, to connect to it. most older ipod devices will also enter mass storage mode, so they are accessible by standard usb drive methods. But newer devices have limited this functionality. [18:02] sh3r1ff: thank you very much, I am a beginner [18:02] mds1, songbird i have heard some one mention as the only app that works on certain ipods, but i don't know the details of that. [18:03] !list [18:03] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:03] mds1, i actually keep a vista image in virtualbox, with itunes just to sync my iphone. which i hate having to do. [18:03] NET||abuse, it actually is accessible as mass storage and I can put files (music) on it. It just does not play the music when disconnected from usb. It tells me to use iTunes to set it up... [18:03] hi all [18:04] NET||abuse, yeah, that might be my solution as well- except using kvm ;-) [18:04] can someone help me with crossover? after i install it and try to create a bottle it just says please wait while its being created and never finishes [18:04] mds1, yeh, you need to use gtkpodder or another app like this to put music on it, libipod understands the ipod database format which allows you to put music in and have the ipod os pick it up. [18:04] netabuse try programs like banshee [18:05] Tigerboy, yeh, rythmbox and banshee, amarok etc... they all use libipod [18:05] hey everyone... Does anyone know when Easy Peasy 2.0 will be out? === NavadeHo is now known as NvdH [18:05] NET||abuse, yes I know, it just seams that all the apps don't wirte the db in prober way. [18:05] mds1, gpodder is great for podcasts, i have used that on older ipods. [18:05] itune syncing now also works in wine [18:05] Tigerboy, WHAT?????? [18:05] wine is a windows emulator [18:06] NET||abuse, he meant me ;-) [18:06] Tigerboy, gimme link,, please: ) AWSOME!! [18:06] Tigerboy, yeh, and the usb drivers in linux never supported the mode that ipods needed to connect [18:06] ok will try to find it give me a second [18:06] Tigerboy: WINE is not a windows emulator [18:06] !wine [18:06] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [18:06] Tigerboy, so all efforts required a patch to the kernel, not just wine, [18:06] Hi I've great ubuntu [18:06] WINE is a compatibility layer [18:06] ^^ [18:06] Dr_Willis, yes, we know, we're not confused about htis. [18:06] hey everyone... Does anyone know when Easy Peasy 2.0 will be out? [18:07] pumpkinseed: ask the developpers of easy peasy? ;) [18:07] here's one to start: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/03/04/itunes-syncing-now-works-in-linux-with-wine/ [18:07] can someone help me with crossover? after i install it and try to create a bottle it just says please wait while its being created and never finishes [18:07] bottle? [18:07] Tigerboy, but because virtualisation allowed the windows installation to use the usb devices by raw access, the windows drivers could run the way itunes needed to allow syncing with the newer ipods [18:07] Tigerboy, thanks 4 the link. I'll try it right now! [18:08] i just emailed adobe about the poor Linux support being unacceptable [18:08] yes, a winxp bottle [18:08] Can someone help me get my windows drivers to work on ubuntu please. im completly new to linux and know basically nothing [18:08] Tigerboy, so this must mean that they patched the kernel with the improvements that allow syncing. [18:08] how do I start vim with a plugin (vtreeexplorer) already started? [18:08] oh ok I like virtualbox [18:08] yes they did [18:08] Tigerboy, though i should probably put the "improvements" in inv comas [18:08] :) [18:09] Tigerboy, nice one, was about 8 months ago i was researching the state of ipod syncing in wine, so my info is out of date. [18:09] Sh3r1ff: how do i update my gcc libraries .. i get error while ./configure. .. i think it is due to lack of some libraries.. right ?? [18:10] rameshwor: sounds like you just dont have some of the required libraries [18:10] rameshwor: it mostly says why it fails [18:10] boss_mc: how to update ?? [18:10] rameshwor: is what you are trying to install not available in the repo's? [18:10] itunes versions 7xx are now browze functionality level in wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347 [18:11] After 8.04.1>8.10 dist upgrade on my laptop computer some special keys of the keyboard do not function properly in GNOME any more. E. g. AltGr+X echos in the 'Keyboard settings' dialog as 'x', in a GNOME terminal AltGr produces a line feed. Keyboard model=Generic 105-key (Intl)PC. In a virtual console the keyboard layout is okay. update-manager commented out the /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf sections "InputDevice". How to troubleshoot? [18:11] Bronze [18:11] Sh3r1ff: no. but i want to learn compiling from source .....i thought it was a good thing to learn... [18:11] rameshwor: in the output will be an explanation of the missing library, if you pastebin it to us we can have a look [18:11] okay, well here is a better question for you guys. I just bought an Asus eee 1000HE and am wondering if you guys recommend Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix (available on the Ubuntu website) and why... [18:12] boss_mc: ok. i'm currently on win.. i'll check the output later.. ok. [18:13] pumpkinseed: I advise it for ease of use and small (ish) memory footprint, ask in #eeepc for more details (it runs brilliantly on my eeepc 901) [18:13] I'm having troubles with mouse themes using compiz... Any help? (ubuntu 9.04) [18:13] Tigerboy, what does the rating mean. 8.2 is silver?? [18:13] Can someone help me get my windows drivers to work on ubuntu please. === Martineo_ is now known as Martineo [18:14] i the bronze silver gold is a medal scheme similar to olympics I think referring to the level of functionality [18:14] makes sense.

[18:15] I want to learn to learn OpenGL ES. To do that I want to write and run openGL programs on my ubuntu machine, but I don't know which packages I need to install [18:15] Dave___: I'd rather do it here, if it's convenient for you. [18:15] ok its just im on the freenode client thing and its harder to follow [18:15] but sure [18:16] Dave___: Are you connected to the internet with the machine that you are trying to install the drivers on?

I'm trying to install restricted drivers(my ati graphics card). From System-Administration-Hardware Drivers..But it doesnt do anything [18:19] i installed samba, and shared a folder with the menu option in gnome, and i see it on the network from both linux and windows boxes, but when i double click, it asks me for a username and password, and entering a valid username and password doesn't work, any help? is there a way to not require a username/password? [18:19] Help, Im trying to install abobe air and when terminal requests my password it wont allow me to type [18:20] MGWperk: It allows you to type, it just doesn't show that.

[18:20] Dave___: Sorry, type 'sudo ndiswrapper -r *name of driver*' [18:20] oh hold on [18:20] its a security feature, if people can't see what you type or how many characters you are typing its harder to guess a password [18:20] I need to install Kernel Header Package... do you know what they call it? like, apt-get install kernelh ? :P [18:20] Tigerboy, ahhhh, right, i have the latest itunes.

[18:31] tetraedr: amd64 is the old name for x64 [18:31] n3gIv i have checked the bios, for boot up it has Maxtor Basics USB as first boot, if i disconnect the hard drive it is not in the bios, i am currently using the livecd. what else should i look for on the bios?

[18:34] n3glv yes they are there, want me to paste the response on pastebin? [18:34] that is the letter L in lower case [18:34] not an i [18:34] as in fdisk -list [18:34] boss_mc: im using lts in command line, does that prog have a cli interface?

[18:35] n3glv: http://pastebin.com/m68fa8439 [18:35] <`Dave`> well im on my desktop (the one i put linux on) [18:35] <`Dave`> could you tell me how to do it [18:35] <`Dave`> then ill go onto ubuntu and try [18:35] <`Dave`> please [18:35] n0de: ok, it can be done, i can't remember the syntax though, I'm sure man aptitude will tell you [18:35] none of your partitions are active na [18:35] NET||abuse, what do you mean with not being sure how? If you have trouble with the current version 8.2 try the last release from the 7.x branch- it installed smoother here. Testing now... [18:35] `Dave`: What drivers are you trying to install? [18:35] boss_mc: thx ill check it out - im new to ubuntu from gentoo, so thx for help [18:36] n0de: sudo apt-get packagename=versionnumber [18:36] <`Dave`> for my wireless card, gfx card and motherboard [18:36] how can i make it active? sorry for the dumb questions but im a noob on linux heh [18:36] mds1, cool. will it sync my iphone,, i went ahead with os 3.0 [18:36] n0de: sudo apt-get install packagename=versionnumber [18:36] thx ^^ [18:36] `Dave`: I can help you with your wireless card. Do you know where you drivers are already? [18:36] os 3.0?? [18:36] <`Dave`> i have them on a disk [18:36] uptime reports 5 users; I'm the only one logged in. Why's that? [18:37] fdisk /dev/sda , then you hit "a" and "1" OR whichever your boot partition might be, then hit "w" to quit with writing changes, reboot [18:37] thomc: perhaps they suspended? [18:37] `Dave`: Or what card you are using? [18:37] kitty_ will try it out, thanks [18:37] xtalmath: I'm the only user of this system. [18:37] before you reboot, do the fdisk -l [18:37] how to have numlock turn on with boot? [18:37] <`Dave`> Joeseph: newlink wireless 11g 54 mbps wireless networking PCI adaptor [18:37] and see if it has a * under the "boot" columb [18:38] kitty_: are u sure that sda is his hd, and not the virtual ramdisk? (he's on a live cd) [18:38] would anyone know if its beneficial to have a separate /boot partition.. ? thx [18:38] 160gb ? [18:38] I'm trying to install something..but it says " libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory " .. But its in there /usr/lib... can anyone help [18:38] `Dave`: And do you have the drivers for that card already? [18:38] <`Dave`> i have them installed on my windows [18:38] looked weird to me too, but most likly it's his INTERNAL sata drive [18:38] kitty_ how do i figure out my boot partition number? [18:38] dunno _why_ there is nothing on it [18:38] unless he borked an install [18:38] which drive did you shove your /boot/ directory on? [18:39] <`Dave`> Joeseph: i have the driver disk next to me too [18:39] i set it on /dev/sdb [18:39] does anyone have a recommendation for a good backup program in ubuntu? ideally I would like to just clone my whole drive [18:39] sdb is your external na? are both 160's? [18:39] anyone know how to search apt-get for packages and their versions? thx [18:39] pumpkinseed: dd [18:39] n0de: google does [18:40] thomc: root, messagebus, avahi,... all users of system [18:40] n3glv yeah both the same, the internal hard drive is busted, reason why im using the external hd for now. like i said it all worked fine till today [18:40] n0de: I don't know about doing it from the command line, but if you use the synaptic gui, it has a search option. [18:40] `Dave`: Okay. Pop in the driver disk. Search around the driver cd until you can find the .inf file. (you can use nautilus, the file manager, to look through the cd.) Then, with the terminal, navigate to that folder. (using 'cd /path/to/cd/with/.inf') Tell me when you are there. [18:40] onexused; thx just im using the lts in command [18:40] anyone knows komodo edit? [18:41] anyone know about this $HOME/.dmrc error? [18:41] I just installed 8.04, and upgraded to 9.04 on a desktop, and there is no quit or logout options in my system menu, and a non-privledgeid user is logged in. How do I get those options on the menu? [18:41] n0de: ah [18:41] something a little more specific would help. Do you have a website for this 'dd' ? [18:41] <`Dave`> Joeseph - i can't, i'm dual booting linux on the same pc as my windows. My dads laptop wont connect to the internet so i cant go back to using that. [18:41] n3glv, if you run some programs as root, it'll change the priviledges on the folders and you'll end up having to chown them back to your user [18:42] or just delete them and they'll *fix* themselves :P [18:42] `Dave`: So you're on windows right now? [18:42] <`Dave`> yes, hold on ill go find the other laptop and try that [18:42] ok kitty_ it talks about perms 644 and that does not help [18:43] actually... a backup program that isn't a command line based execution would be preferable... [18:43] pumpkinseed: if you want to back up a system that is in use, you'll have fun [18:44] !backup [18:44] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [18:44] !sbackup > pumpkinseed [18:44] pumpkinseed, please see my private message [18:44] `Dave`: Alright. Well, basically, all you *should* need to do is to navigate to you CD's folder containing the .inf file in the terminal. When you are there, type 'sudo ndiswrapper -i *Name_Of_.inf_file*' then you'll need to run 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' to load it again. Check to see if it's installed with 'ndiswrapper -l' [18:44] i don't want to back it up while in use.... duh... especially since I was asking about cloning the entire drive... *sigh* [18:44] dd can clone a drive [18:44] thanks ubottu!

[18:49] `Dave`: Logging in as root is generally considered... not very safe. When you need 'root' or 'super-user' access, it's recommended that you use 'sudo' followed by a command. [18:49] <`Dave`> ok [18:49] `Dave`: So you can view the cd in the file browser, correct?

[19:41] I have amd processor, flash not working anymore [19:41] how can I re-install flash? [19:42] hello [19:43] Hi, people. As I understand it, Linux is written in a way that requires permissions for installs, right? [19:43] re there any tip for tuning cinelerra when editing video? I use 2.1 cv in ubuntu jaunty [19:43] AndorinKato: Depends on how you install it - one could just compile the source code. [19:43] AndorinKato: for system stuff, yes [19:43] And this is one reason why Linux OS's are so secure? [19:44] Well, not really [19:44] AndorinKato: you can still install stuff in your own home directory.. that doesn't require any special permissions [19:44] AndorinKato: nope [19:44] >>>>Hello, im having a problem with compiz at the moment. when I login, it doesnt start and neither does nautilus [19:44] AndorinKato: Windows requires admin rights too. BUT it only recently stopped giving them to every user. [19:44] Rly? I was under the impression that nothing could be installed on your system without your consent. [19:45] AndorinKato: System-wide no. But an user can install something just for himself. [19:45] AndorinKato: there are several reasons.. the thing windows is catching up to now.. (the whole don't run stuff as admin/root) has been standard in linux for a long time.. ie if someone compromises my browser they can't only do what I can do myself.. so no trashing the system.. [19:45] Right, okay... [19:46] Unix was secure from the beginning. [19:46] grawity, hahaha [19:46] grawity, o rly? [19:46] usser: Compared to Windows. [19:46] One of my friends is telling me about how if Linux becomes 'mainstream' and replaces Windows, malware will flcok to it. [19:46] Windows wasn't, so it must change slowly, to not break stuff. [19:46] AndorinKato: True [19:46] flock* [19:46] AndorinKato: probably true [19:46] grawity, all those buffer overflow attacks originated on unix long before windows was even created [19:46] I told him that since Linux is open-source, vulnerabilities get patched very quickly. [19:47] where is the vim plugin directory? [19:47] how do you get malware, if you only install stuff from the repos [19:47] AndorinKato: and more secure from the initial 'ground floor' - so i dont see it as being much of an issue [19:47] deany: there are still bad people out there.. doing bad things to computers.. no matter what os you're using [19:47] Because of the permissions architecture and such? [19:47] >>>>Hello, im having a problem with compiz at the moment. when I login, it doesnt start and neither does nautilus [19:47] usser: That's a little different; Unix had multiuser support and permissions from the beginning, Windows didn't.

[19:51] Goioo: ok, good, then it should only be a problem with correct port forwarding [19:52] Goioo: what did you do to port forward [19:52] ?

[19:53] I'm on ubuntu 8.04, trying to upgrade to 9.04, but there isn't the option in upgrade manager, any help? [19:53] tetraedr: follow ubottu's advice [19:53] Goioo: and you are testing this access from the outside of your network, not inside? [19:53] michalski-bj: its possible you need to do a 'metacity --replace' in a terminal to make it replace compiz. (or install/run fusion-icon) [19:53] Saouka: how old is the install? [19:53] Saouka: go into the "software sources" settings thingy..

[19:58] And BromaxSux: I started it through the Red Arrow link, I didn't use bash.

[20:33] when installing it can i choose something that uses little resourses like xubuntu has [20:33] how can i fix a bad sector on my linux side [20:33] hi! can you help me on reversing updates done today? I think one of them has broken somthing that makes X to freeze during startup. [20:33] hanasaki, what options are you in need of? [20:33] Arceye: install xfce (xubuntu-desktop) [20:34] does anyone know how ubuntu auto detects usb devices and places them on the "Places" menu? [20:34] deagle, gnome handles that [20:34] oic [20:34] the 7z defualt compression is better than zip but SLOW [20:34] does anyone know how gnome auto detects usb devices and places them on the "Places" menu? [20:34] :P [20:34] ok thanks is there a recommended server version I would want ? [20:34] i wanna write a script to have the same deal but on openbox's menu [20:34] hanasaki: you will find that the better the compression, the slower it will be (mostly) [20:35] true that :( [20:35] how can i fix a bad sector on my linux side [20:35] deagle: When you connect the drive a udev rule is callled (a generic one for any usb drive) and this rule performs certain actions such as mounting the device and creating a shortcut in the places menu. What is your question more specifically? [20:35] hanasaki, p7zip supports ZIP, 7z, BZIP2, TAR, CAB, ARJ.. ect.. [20:35] edbian: i wanna have the same menu on openbox's root menu [20:35] edbian: so when i plug devices in, they'll show up in openbox's menu [20:36] Arceye: the server edition and desktop editions of ubuntu are not too different, just different installed packages, and different kernel modules... so you still install what ever you want with apt. e.g. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [20:36] deagle: Well I don't know how to control openbox's menu but I know how to make scripts and I am ok with udev rules. First you need to make your udev rule. I have found though that this is somewhat difficult. [20:37] krammer__: not sure you can actually fix it.. you can try to recover the information stored there.. and tell your system not to use that sector again [20:37] musikgoat|main: so could use the xubuntu desktop disc but manually choose what to install and run it as a server ? [20:37] deagle, You could probably just use gnome-volume-manager to automount the usb devices to /media, then make a pipemenu script that lists the folders in /media [20:38] Arceye: yes [20:38] Slart, how do i tell my system to use that sector again, could this be an error in the smart program as well? [20:38] deagle: If you go to /etc/udev/rules.d you can see the rule configuration files. I believe you're going to want to create a whole new file. called 10-local.rules [20:38] Ahadiel: He's not using gnome. [20:38] Where are you richie? [20:38] musikgoat|main: thanks I am off to download and install now, I will be back for more assistance :) [20:38] edbian, You can still use most gnome utilities [20:38] krammer__: have a look at the app called "badblocks" [20:38] krammer__: read the man page.. I think it's described there [20:39] Ahadiel: Without gnome installed? Are you sure? [20:39] can someone explain to me why in firefox in ubuntu some webpages have very small fonts if you don't override them? *i know how to fix this* by overriding the page's fonts, i'm just trying to understand *why* it shows up different in ubuntu vs windows [20:39] edbian, He didn't mention not having gnome installed. [20:39] hi! can you help me on reversing updates done today? I think one of them has broken somthing that makes X to freeze during startup. [20:39] Ahadiel: OH ha ha ha :) [20:39] edbian, So was I to have known? [20:39] -_- [20:39] so how was i* [20:40] deagle: Well, do you have gnome installed? Ahadiel is right it is much easier to use gnome utilities to do what you're trying to do. [20:40] yeah i do have gnome installed [20:40] slart, do i need to install badblocks? [20:40] so far, the only thing i use it for, however, is gnome-panel :P [20:40] daishadar: try this: install the package msttcorefonts [20:40] Ahadiel: I assumed wrongly :( (not sure if that's a word... "wrongly") [20:40] Quarth: where are your X updates coming from? The normal repositories, or have you added xorg-edgers or x-updates/x-swat to your sources.list? [20:40] krammer__: I don't think so.. it should be installed by default [20:40] jaunty or hardy heron which would be best option ? [20:41] does anyone know if acronis works with ext4? (i've been using it for a while on my personal laptop and it hasn't caused me any problems i can't handle, i'm thinking about switching my whole network over - but i need backup support) [20:41] Good afternoon everyone (well, afternoon here, but feel free to replace that with whatever is applicable in your area ;)); I'm having an issue with iwl3945 [20:41] deagle: Well maybe Ahadiel wants to help you I've never done anything like this with gnome-utilities. [20:41] :D [20:41] thanks guy! [20:41] *thanks guys! [20:41] Arceye: jaunty [20:41] musikgoat|main: thanks [20:41] deagle: NP [20:41] daishadar: mostly it's caused by the fonts not being installed on your system. some people assume that if the font is included on windows xp then everyone has it. that's why you should install the msttcorefonts package [20:41] nick125, are you running 9.04? [20:41] Ahadiel: would I *HAVE* to automount everything that's plugged in? [20:41] magnetron: i've installed it already [20:42] !info e2fsprogs | krammer__ [20:42] krammer__: e2fsprogs (source: e2fsprogs): ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utilities. In component main, is required. Version 1.41.4-1ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 751 kB, installed size 2068 kB [20:42] When I first associate to my AP, I get a solid 3-5mbit of speed...sufficient enough for NFS. However, after a few hours, the speed decreases down to where I begin getting huge latency at 700kbit of transfer. [20:42] usser: Yes. Kernel 2.6.28-13-generic [20:42] daishadar: can you give an example of an url where the fonts are to small? [20:42] I've also tried using the latest firmware/ucode from Intel's site and that didn't seem to help, either. [20:42] nick125, yea i have that problem too, never found a solution [20:42] nick125: wireless interference could be causing your ap to drop your connection rate down to 1-2mb [20:42] Slart: http://www.waitingfornextyear.com [20:43] musikgoat|main, its not interference, problem is with intel drivers [20:43] oh [20:43] musikgoat|main: There's only one other AP in the area, and I made sure that I set my AP to a different channel. [20:43] Slart: and, if you set a minimum font size by overriding in firefox, here's a site that gets messed up: http://sports.yahoo.com [20:43] musikgoat|main, i have ath5k working just fine in the same apartment [20:43] Mike_lifeguard: sorry, not well explained. I've installed 9.10 last image, all running ok till I updates the system, after that login screen freezes at startup or after few seconds. Probably due to package update. [20:43] nick125, You are aware that you must be six channels away to avoid interference? [20:43] nick125: cordless telephones, microwaves, ufo's can do it too :-) [20:44] Quarth: yes, so now you want to get the previous .deb and install it -- to do that, you need to know where your updates are coming from [20:44] My old broadcra^Wbroadcom card didn't have this issue....although it did have random disconnections and other fun things associated with ndiswrapper [20:44] edbian: oh yeah, and i use it for the screensaver as well :P [20:44] dsnyders: The other AP is on channel 3 and mine is on channel 10. [20:44] Mike_lifeguard: normal repositories [20:44] deagle: You should check out xscreensaver. It is much more configurable and doesn't have gnome dependencies.

[20:46] anybody had success in scripting gconftool with cron? [20:46] I fixed my mic problem! :) [20:46] lesshaste: what did you do? [20:47] i gave up trying to get my mic to work [20:47] rofl [20:47] I installed swfdec plugin and firefox is borked now. (crashes on Tools/Add-ons, can not log in to websites, like launchpad.net) [20:47] :S [20:47] CITguy-Artemis: do you have a question? [20:47] jrib, I found an amazing script that upgrades alsa for you to the latest version [20:47] lesshaste: i see... [20:47] jrib, then I ran alsamixer and increased capture and mic and front mic and then switch the first input source to front mic [20:47] doh, not even synaptic works [20:47] I'm trying to get a script I wrote to change the background color of my desktop. It works when I run it via command line, but nothing changes when cron triggers. [20:47] jrib, the last step was crucial [20:48] Slart: I am officially an idiot. msttcorefonts *wasn't* installed, i must have used apt-get -s :( :( [20:48] jrib, the script is great [20:48] Slart: sorry for wasting your time [20:48] daishadar: =) [20:48] daishadar: no worries [20:48] lesshaste: i actually mentioned that yesterday in #alsa. [20:48] lesshaste: well are you sure just the last step was not enough? [20:48] CITguy-Artemis: are you using full paths in cron? [20:48] jrib, turns out the built in mic is front mic [20:48] yup === SteveH is now known as SteveHill [20:48] CITguy-Artemis: I bet you cron runs things as root and that it is working just that it's working on root's desktop. [20:48] ok, i cant connect to certain networks with xchat, says the name or service is not known [20:48] Mike_lifeguard: too many updates done to know which one may have caused that :/ Any way to reverse all or just one-by-one? [20:48] yet i can connect to them with other clients [20:48] jrib, yes I tried that before [20:48] dtchen, then thanks [20:48] CITguy-Artemis: and instructing which user to run as? [20:48] i'm also using the --user=myname in the script [20:48] dtchen, did you mention the magic script ? [20:49] lesshaste: where/what is the script? [20:49] Quarth: uh, there's a log of updates somewhere (don't remember where) :\ [20:49] or whatever the switch is [20:49] Ahadiel: :D so... how do i tell gnome to put the "Places" menu in openbox's menu [20:49] ? [20:49] lesshaste: no, because the script does the wrong thing [20:49] dtchen, as in it's not very ubuntu friendly? [20:49] SteveHill, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810 [20:49] deagle, just add it manually [20:49] sup? [20:49] usser: o_O how do i do that? [20:49] CITguy-Artemis: ooo, idk then. Are you sure the script is running at all? Have it print to a file or something to make sure it is being called. [20:50] CITguy-Artemis: whats your crontab entry look like? [20:50] deagle, /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml [20:50] lesshaste: no, it gives you a completely different base audio stack [20:50] confidential [20:50] lesshaste: that makes troubleshooting more difficult [20:50] hi all, I have nvidia driver on my ubuntu 9.04 computer. However, upon reboot it always goes back to 800x 600. Anyway to get the 1440 x900 to "stick" permanently. I have to manually reset nvidia properties each time. [20:50] dtchen, what would be preferable? [20:50] hello [20:50] Im back [20:50] dtchen, other than jaunty shipping a later version [20:50] Mike_lifeguard: I have it, but probably about 150+ updates. I0ll try to find the ones related to xorg [20:50] deagle, add an entry places where each command is something like nautilus --no-desktop --browser /home/user [20:50] I need a bit more help [20:50] usser: but what entry do I add to have the gnome-panel's "Places" menu? [20:50] I have tried editing xorg.conf and still it always does the same thing [20:50] dtchen, I should have looked in backports of course as well [20:50] yes, the script is running. the log is showing this. I think it has to do with the user for which it's running for [20:50] deagle, you cant have places in openbox [20:50] -.- [20:50] lesshaste: in reality, you needed to do only two things: use a newer alsa-driver version (1.0.20), and adjust the mic selector and level elements [20:50] deagle, ie its a gnome thing [20:51] usser: that's what I'm trying to figure out how to do [20:51] I have a new USB headset, and my sound is only coming from my speakers, not the headset. [20:51] dtchen [20:51] CITguy-Artemis: show your crontab or cron.d entry [20:51] deagle, do you really need 'places'? [20:51] im using the following: gconftool --owner=me -s /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color "#color" -t string [20:51] will the newer alsamixer fix my mic problem? [20:51] Noobuntu: install pavucontrol, and migrate the application stream to the usb devec [20:51] deagle: I believe that gnome uses a script and a config file to create the places menu. Just create your own places! (i.e. what do you want in there /home etc etc) [20:51] #bluep [20:51] Deodorant: what is your mic problem? [20:51] because that'd be great [20:51] CITguy-Artemis: where? [20:52] */1 * * * * ryan /home/ryan/BIN/naturalBackground.plx [20:52] deagle, what are you using it for. once you go openbox, or fluxbox etc, you gotta make sacrifices [20:52] dtchen, right.. so the script I ran does more than that I am picking up [20:52] usser: no, I just want a list of devices that are plugged in, so when i click on 'em, they mount and show up [20:52] Where can you get "pavucontrol"? [20:52] dtchen: it wont work? [20:52] hi all, I have nvidia driver on my ubuntu 9.04 computer. However, upon reboot it always goes back to 800x 600. Anyway to get the 1440 x900 to "stick" permanently. I have to manually reset nvidia properties each time. I have tried editing xorg.conf and still it always does the same thing. [20:52] i looked for help on google [20:52] dtchen, is 1.0.20 in karmic backports? [20:52] and tried forums etc [20:52] nothing seems to work [20:52] dtchen: Where do you get pavucontrol? [20:52] edbian: :D that script is what I'm trying to find out where it is [20:52] !enter | Deodorant [20:52] Deodorant: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:52] Noobuntu: from the ubuntu repository. it's in universe. [20:52] usser: this is linux... there's GOT to be a way :D [20:52] lesshaste: err, do you mean jaunty-backports? and no, not yet. [20:52] deagle, use pcmanfm as your file manager, it has a nice little panel that shows you all connected devices [20:52] dtchen, I do.. tjhanks [20:52] right now, i've got the script running every minute [20:52] does anyone know how I can find out what's new if I enable the proposed repos for hardy? [20:52] it's being called [20:52] usser: i <3 rox-filer [20:53] backports from karmic [20:53] to jaunty [20:53] the gconf entry isn't being changed [20:53] Deodorant: i need more info than what you're giving [20:53] deagle, oh [20:53] dtchen: Could you give me a link pehaps? I dont want to break anything... [20:53] lesshaste: right, so jaunty-backports [20:53] deagle: I was just speculating. I have no idea really ha ha ha. [20:53] Noobuntu: sudo aptitude install pavucontrol [20:53] edbian: lol, i figured the same [20:53] dtchen: Thanks! [20:53] dtchen, so what does the script do other than upgrade alsa? [20:53] edbian: i'm trying to find what sub programs does gnome-panel execute on launch [20:53] WOOPS, I mean Hardy backports. I already have Propsed enabled. I am asking because I can't afford to have my mythtv get screwed up! [20:54] deagle, well actually there might be a way, openbox has something called pipe menus, dynamically generated menus, if you find a config file for gnome's places you can write a script that generates the menu on the fly [20:54] in any case.. it works# [20:54] now my mystery is something else [20:54] how do I run this command at startup: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype [20:54] edbian: is there a tool for that? like in windows? to see the processes of a program [20:54] dtchen: i'm using the mic on my cam, alsamixer seems to know that my logiutech cam is one of the input devices, upon selecting it as the input device and changing volume to the max level, it still does not want to work [20:54] deagle: Take a look at your /home/.gtk-booksmarks file [20:54] when I "shutdown" from gnome using the menu from the little power icon on the top right [20:54] and then restart the computer it skips grub completely [20:54] lesshaste: it upgrades _all_ of alsa, which is problematic. [20:54] and just logs me in [20:54] is that normal? [20:54] dtchen, thanks [20:54] lesshaste: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:54] I just type fast :) [20:54] dtchen: Its done, now where is it located? [20:55] and press enter too much [20:55] Noobuntu: Applications> Sound & Video [20:55] Thanks [20:55] aka dont use enter as punctuation lesshaste [20:55] edbian: that's a start I guess... now I just need to find out the list for the plugged in -yet not mounted- devices :P [20:55] deagle: I think the "Script" we're looking for is probably buried somewhere in the gnome libraries or gnome-panel code :( [20:55] colblood, understood, now to my problem :) [20:55] dtchen: What should it be called? [20:55] edbian: that's my fear :S [20:55] I am running Jaunty on an HP DV6000 laptop. About 2 revs back, the volume/mute buttons stopped working. When I use the buttons, I get a little pop-up, but no changes in sound. I CAN adjust with Volume Applet 2.26.1 but I'd like to have the physical control. Any idea how I can effect it? [20:55] dtchen: I dont see pavu anywhere [20:56] Deodorant: if you're running jaunty or newer, please use "ubuntu-bug alsa-base", and tell me the bug # [20:56] deagle, yep .gtk-bookmarks is the one, now all you need to do is read those entries using bash or python or somesuch wrap in an xml that openbox menu understands and create a menu with something like [20:56] Noobuntu: it's called PulseAudio Volume Control [20:56] dtchen: i'm on 8.10 [20:56] dtchen: What should I do once its open? [20:56] Deodorant: then please use http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh [20:56] deagle, where obweather is the script that dynamically generates a menu [20:56] Noobuntu: look at the Playback tab [20:56] Noobuntu: look for your application [20:57] dtchen: i'll give it a go [20:57] im currently running ubuntu 9.04 with WINE.. im thinking of using it at work where we got a domain we log onto, how can i do that? [20:57] I have reported it as a bug not now I wonder it's a feature I don't know about [20:57] Deodorant: please note that is a bash script. you must use bash. [20:57] usser: thanks! as soon as I find the gnome script that calls on udev, i'll use that :D [20:57] dtchen: que? [20:57] deagle, http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Openbox:Pipemenus [20:57] dtchen: I think that did the trick, I will rickroll myself to check :P [20:57] not sure how that works, dtchen [20:57] usser: :o thanks!

[21:01] Intel 965 graphics, Ubuntu 9.04, Dell Inspiron laptop: There seem to be driver issues when I use wine and blender. I've updated to the latest things shown in update-manager. What else can I check? [21:01] buttons840: check your locale [21:01] MrNaz_x40, hm thats weird, its usually something like root:video in which case all you have to do is add your user to video group to allow them access [21:01] where do i use the parameter --no-upload, dtchen? in the wget CMD? if so, where [21:01] and buttons840: ctrl-a plus another key is required, I think [21:01] forceflow, what does that mean? [21:02] buttons840: try ctrl-a-" [21:02] it should bring up the screen channel list [21:02] Dutchy_, thats a long standing bug with network manager [21:02] Dutchy_, are you on a desktop computer? [21:02] ctrl-a-c creates a new screen window, ctrl-a-d detaches a window, ... [21:02] forceflow, i can't do ctrl a [21:02] Anyone? [21:02] usser: yes [21:02] forceflow, it wont register in the terminal [21:02] usser: but i havent used network manager to add the samba mount [21:02] buttons840: ctrl-a does nothing ... you've go tto hit another key :) [21:02] Noobuntu: best to just ask the channel your question [21:03] Dutchy_, may i suggest ditching network manager, since it gives you no benefit on a desktop machine [21:03] i guess that would be possible [21:03] what does network manager have to do with my mounts? [21:03] usser: do you have a link to the bug? [21:03] jrib: I have already asked, but I will ask again [21:03] Dutchy_, network manager is responsible for handling network connections, what happens is when computer shuts down network is brought down first then it tries to unmount samba share and fails because theres no network anymore at this point [21:03] Hey all. How do I give someone SSH access, but no access to a shell? ie: I want someone to be able to use SSH tunneling, but don't want to grant them shell access. [21:04] where do i use the parameter --no-upload, dtchen? in the wget CMD? if so, where [21:04] optical, make their shell true [21:04] true ? [21:04] Ok, so I got ubuntu using the wubu installer, and gave it a tiny space to run off of in case i didnt like it. Now I know I do like it and would like to allocate it more space. How do I do this? [21:04] Noobuntu: yeah that's best. If you ask, then I see your question. If you say "anyone", then I see "anyone" and have no idea if I can help you [21:04] sorry, what do you mean by true? i am novice user sorry :) === Vobine is now known as Psychoholic [21:05] Noobuntu: you want to keep using wubi or go for a real install? [21:05] optical, yes it will log them out immediately when they try to log into a shell [21:05] forceflow, so i should use something besides ctrl? so try +a? [21:05] im currently running ubuntu 9.04 with WINE.. im thinking of using it at work where we got a domain we log onto, how can i do that? [21:05] Noobuntu: you're best bet is to uninstall wubi, and reinstall it with the appropriate sized disk [21:05] buttons840: no no [21:05] kindofblue89: WORKS!! Thanks!!! I've been asking this question for a couple of weeks. [21:05] usser: understood. Thanks for the help, i'll see if it solves anything [21:05] thank you cabrey i will Try :) [21:05] +ctrl+a [21:05] I am scared of hurting my computer, as it is shared and my roomates would kill me if i messed it up [21:05] stevehill: no prob dude [21:06] buttons840: sorry, I mean the keyboard combo ctrl-a is not supposed to do anything in screen. It's the start of a combination, like ctrl-a-" or ctrl-a-c [21:06] optical, or you could use nologin, more proper but doesnt make a difference [21:06] stevehill: lemme guess... you had mic problems earlier/ [21:06] can i pm you force? [21:07] Jeruvy, I am scared of hurting my computer, as it is shared and my roomates would kill me if i messed it up [21:07] buttons840: bit busy at the moment. Another option is to disable keyboard shortcuts in your terminal. are you using gnome terminal ? [21:07] jrib: I am scared of hurting my computer, as it is shared and my roomates would kill me if i messed it up [21:07] yes, gnome terminal [21:07] Dutchy_, i cant find the bug for it. but i remember there was one, what i did on my desktop is i removed network manager and set the connection manually in /etc/network/interfaces and it doesnt hang any more [21:07] buttons840: edit -> keyboard shortcuts, and disable all of them [21:07] Anyone use full drive encryption had a problem with latest kernel update ? now when I boot into new kernel it does not ask me for a passphrase and fails to boot [21:07] Noobuntu: ok, but what do you want to do? Keep wubi or use a real install? [21:07] kindofblue89: No. I just upgraded to Jaunty, and it broke the buttons. [21:07] Noobuntu: then you shouldn't be messing around with installers without your roomates permission. What that has to do with your question is not really relevent. [21:07] hey guys [21:08] hey anyone here have experience with setting up x11vnc? I want to set it up for just one user account, I am trying with the following command but it doesn't seem to be working. x11vnc -auth /home/accountname/.Xauthority -display :0 [21:08] I cant get Gnutella to come up with any results when I search for anything [21:08] Jeruvy: They have given me permission as long as I dont break it they dont care what happens [21:08] jrib: I would like to stick with wubi [21:08] Hi. So I've set up a system that works really well on very little memory/cpu by installing a command line only system from the alternate CD and then adding xorg, kdebase, firefox, and openoffice.

[21:39] well I'm trying to set it up with x11vnc and it isn't working out too well. I guess I need to have X11 startup first? [21:40] Haraken: yes, you do [21:40] shipitkthx: maybe try #bash [21:40] Slart, so I start it up with startx and this is what I get... [21:40] man fuck this. go windows. i'm clearing this useless garbage. [21:40] Haraken: x11vnc is different from all the other vnc servers in that it uses the currently running x session.

[21:42] Haraken: run a more normal vncserver like vnc4server then. not x11vnc [21:42] Haraken: ok.. let me check something real quick [21:42] !yahoo [21:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about yahoo [21:42] that's ok ubottu, i don't either [21:42] bah.. I added a factoid to !yahoo about his fix.. it hasn't been approved yet [21:42] ;) [21:43] well I'd like to try x11vnc just to see how it is. here is my xorg.conf which is very basic it seems. http://pastebin.com/d633f882a [21:43] I've got a harddrive which cannot read it's SA.

[21:43] Haraken: to get x11vnc going.. it runs with a currently running X session.. thats going to be a little hard to do 'headless' [21:43] * guntbert is slower than Slart again :-) [21:44] Dr_Willis, I see. so you think vnc4server is the best solution in this situation? [21:44] Haraken: have a look at my headless xorg.conf.. this is what I use for my small mini-itx server http://pastebin.com/f41997032 [21:44] Haraken: i dont know hyoru whole situatio.. but i have ran 'headless servers' who run vnc4server in the past. [21:44] x11vnc is pretty need.. [21:44] Slart: go for it (your factoid) [21:44] Haraken: or you could just ssh -X to the server and run stuff [21:44] !yahoo [21:44] At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps.

[22:28] !itunes [22:28] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [22:28] I dont think itunes works with wine.

[22:30] yo [22:30] thanks mate- dont want to mess things up [22:30] guntbert: surely there must be a fixed location for php config [22:30] Slart: good guess. so what do we use in ubuntu normally?

[22:32] jamesas, try downloading and installing the nvidia linux drivers. you'll need to install build-essential package (sudo apt-get install build-essential) and you can probably find a guide from there onwards. [22:32] i've had this problem before, but then i just restarted apache, but it doesnt seem to work this time [22:32] hello, I have two interfaces (ppp0 and eth0), ppp0 is the one connected to the internet. I am connecting another PC to eth0, and would like it to share the internet connectivity from ppp0, how do I do that ? [22:32] i can't get into ubuntu period [22:32] nsahoo: I'm not really sure.. but it might be worth looking into [22:32] Slart: ok. thanks [22:33] also wondering how i can get my mobile broadband to work with kde, gnome picks it up automatically [22:33] nsahoo: you might want to look at these text files in a hex editor.. just to see what they really are [22:33] Jamesas, does it boot up? but not go into graphics mode? [22:33] it started loading then went to a black page with system check [22:33] alright, press ctrl + alt + f1 [22:33] Slart: it's a large file so, it's a little hard to spot the unprintable character. However, it'll make the program break later, I guess I can backtrack from there [22:34] michigans_own[TK, attempting itunes install now [22:34] ben_, install firestarter, or use iptables rules [22:35] thanks James [22:35] alright, I'll try firestarter [22:35] does anyone know why RUN commands in udev rules are called twice?

[22:56] tetraedr: I just did an upgrade to kernel etc, and now I have no souns [22:56] tetraedr, did you manually change the model of your sound card ? [22:56] I just did an upgrade to kernel etc, and now I have no sound. What can I do? [22:56] michigans_own[TK, i have no idea, sorry. [22:56] I have Jaunty and I'd like to use 2.6.30, is it recommended that I install karmic's kernel package or should i use kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa's? [22:57] tetraedr, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto this may help you to make sure your card is well setup. Also, a good list of models is available in the french doc here : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/audio_intel_hda (bottom of the page) [22:57] is there a ubuntu d evelopers channel? [22:58] SiDi: just finished building alsa 1.0.20 [22:58] trying [22:58] Cry__Baby, yes but its _not_ for support [22:58] tetraedr, (kill pulseaudio too, its evil :p) [22:58] t.net [22:59] ? [22:59] oops [22:59] :) [22:59] SiDi: it works! :) after alsaconf everything is up and running :) === mike is now known as Guest24916 [22:59] Hello world!!!.. [22:59] SiDi: now I'm thinking how to make it 5.1 [22:59] Are there people from Belgium? I live in Liege [22:59] tetraedr, probably something wrong with your model in the alsa conf file ^.^ [22:59] RobertF, there may be in #ubuntu-fr or #ubuntu-nl ;) [23:00] Quick question: does Rythmbox have an IRC channel? [23:00] SiDi: I known.. i often use the official channel. [23:00] does anyone know how to scan to see if your sound card is being accepted? [23:00] SiDi: maybe it was so, but now it sounds ok, all that is left is to make it work as 5.1 [23:00] I use ubuntu server 9.04 [23:00] PiriForm, do you mean check if the kernel recognises it ? you can use lshw for that i guess [23:00] tetraedr, there are some tutorials online, it's quite simple [23:01] HELP! the trackpad doesn't work on my mac pro! [23:01] PiriForm, or lshw-gtk [23:01] how do i get/use that? [23:01] i just installed ubuntu 9.04! [23:01] tetraedr, i really dont know about 5.1, sorry ;) [23:01] excuse me its a macbook not a mac pro [23:01] 'cause I kind of need to transfer files from my ZEN to my computer, unfortunately, no Windows app recognizes them and rhythmbox isnt available for windows [23:02] ?HECOMES!! [23:02] HALP [23:02] Has anyone ever tried legacy drivers for nvidia geforce 5500 fx consinder none of the others work? [23:02] SiDi: thank you for help, now it at least works :) 5.1 is not really necessary, because mostly I'm using headphones [23:02] sorry, bad question, thanks SiDi [23:02] ?HECOMES!!! OH MY GOD!!!! [23:02] GodfatherofEire, try to get their website, and then see if there is an irc channel listed there [23:02] GodfatherofEire, if they're not in freenode they shall be in gimp.net [23:03] predictable, the 96 should work [23:03] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [23:03] what does that mean ? [23:03] irc.gnome.org [23:03] When I had another user "enable automatic login", but then removed that user.. And then chose "enable automatic login" for main user, Ubuntu won't load and stops at a black screen. The only way I can then get into Ubuntu is press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart". Anyone know of a fix and how I can now get "enable automatic login" to work? [23:03] that'd do it [23:03] tetraedr, http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-linux/. number 6 [23:03] sidi: ehh I dunno everyone ive tried gives me 2 options of low resolution 640x480 and some 320 one and thats it [23:04] James_P: thank you, went reading [23:04] Problem: The ekiga softphone that comes with ubuntu will not play a ringing sound. I go into preferences and try to play the sound manually, and it wont play any sound for incoming callse? [23:04] lol [23:04] very funny [23:04] when I close my browser [23:04] the sound works again [23:04] ^^ [23:04] when I play sound on my browser [23:04] predictable, people in #nvidia might know. Otherwise check the version number for your card in nvidia.com, and then file a bug for this version of nvidia drivers in launchpad.net [23:04] xhunter, that's a flash thing probably [23:04] xhunter, xubuntu harder ? [23:04] no [23:04] xhunter, ubuntu hardy * ? [23:04] Ubuntu [23:04] yes [23:04] SiDi [23:04] sidi: thx [23:04] xhunter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:05] I can't get any sound. Is this a solvable problem, i get sound on xp [23:05] xhunter, try to write in one line [23:05] Okay. [23:05] PiriForm, yes [23:05] xhunter, let me look for a tutorial for you. it's a known issue because flash 9 (on hardy) doesnt support pulseaudio [23:05] SiDi: alright. [23:05] James_P how can I solve it, links? [23:06] hello, Im facing a real problem right now many programs ran by root are connected to internet and are "doing something" [23:06] http://pastebin.com/m7ad40058 [23:06] xhunter, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#Known%20Issues try this in a first time [23:06] SiDi: Thank you. [23:06] does linux need anti virus? [23:07] Dave__ : Not really. [23:07] Dave__, no, we're just carriers. viruses very rarely affect linux [23:07] James_P, what bout rk's? [23:07] Dave__, i'd say it doesnt as long as you exclusively use the repositories for your software ;) [23:08] Dave__ : Don't run anything unless you are sure of it,also, don't run it as a root ^^ [23:08] Because I did that one. [23:08] ok [23:08] once * [23:08] hey guys i have a problem, i am using ubuntu 8.04 and i want to use the nvidia proprietary driver so i enable it but when i come back into my system the lcd screen stays black. [23:09] GodfatherofEire, i'm sure most rootkits would be detectable by running md5's on the basic binaries used by ubuntu and comparing them to know good values [23:09] but [23:09] buttons840: there are other softphones besides Ekiga [23:09] i could be really wong. [23:09] try Twinkle or Zoiper [23:09] twisted, what card do you have ? [23:09] orgthingy, are you running bittorent? or the electricsheep screensaver? [23:09] If I'm putting an ISO on a USB thumb drive with unetbootin, should the drive have just one partition or does it need a special boot partition or something? [23:09] i need help, i'm having troubles playing some DVD's on movie player and VLC [23:09] twisted: how do I use the nvidia proprietary driver? [23:10] James_P, what about rks that dont attatch to the .deb files, but wind up piggybacking on a packet/file sent to your comp over the net? [23:10] not sure how do i check it out [23:10] ethan_, did you install libdvdcss2 ? :) [23:10] ethan_, some dvds with copy protection need this to be installed (and others wont work at all, wether be it in linux or windows) [23:10] crybaby just goto system admin and click on hardware [23:10] Cry__Baby, true, but if ekiga is packaged with ubuntu by default and it isn't working properly, I would like to inform someone of it [23:10] buttons840: so is Twinkle [23:10] crybaby sorry system admin hardware drivers [23:11] Cry__Baby on my distro it's nvidia-settings [23:11] SiDi: thanks a lot i'm not sure if i have it or not but i'll check now [23:11] GodfatherofEire, that would require manually executing, as root, a file that you downloaded from an untrusted source on the internet. [23:11] Also is it normal for firefox to crash on linux >_> [23:11] buttons840, it works fine here, but you should file a bug if the default install/settings cause trouble for you (even if apparently ekiga wont be default anymore in karmic) [23:11] RHorse: what you mean? How I load nvidia-settings? [23:11] SiDi how do i check what card i have? [23:11] SiDi: can i find it in synaptic [23:11] twisted why are u still using 8.04? [23:11] Dave__: for some of us [23:11] twisted, well, usually you know what you buy :D [23:11] ethan_, yes [23:11] SiDi it uses the nvidia 180 driver [23:11] twisted, lspci | grep VGA [23:11] Dave__: yes well in Ubuntu, other distros I wonder [23:12] Cry__Baby it comes when you install the restricted driver [23:12] twisted, was it the driver marked as recommanded in the hardware drivers window ? Were the 173 and 177 available ? [23:12] nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0845 (rev a2) [23:12] twisted, wow... i didnt know this model :D [23:12] when I choose system admin hardware drivers, it doesnt show anything about my Nvidia 8400M GS. How come? Is that becaise I have a HP Laptop? [23:12] SiDi: when i type in libdvdscc2 the ubuntu restricted drivers packages show up is this correct [23:13] SiDi just says new driver im using 8.04 how do i upgrade i know the jaunty jackalope works better [23:13] twisted, do you have any bill that came with the computer ? the model should be written down on it [23:13] presario cq60-202us [23:13] ethan_, its a restricted package due to legal issues in some countries [23:13] RHorse: Cry__Baby it comes when you install the restricted driver <-- so I need to install the restricted driver before it will show up under system admin hardware drivers? [23:13] ok so thats correct then [23:13] ethan_, this lib cracks the copy protection to let you run the dvd in linux. It's not legal everywhere [23:13] SiDi i would like to upgrade my system to Jaunty [23:14] but maybe he should start upgrading ubuntu first... [23:14] twisted, if the card is recent it might fix the issue [23:14] Cry__Baby when you install the restricted drivers, nvidia-settings is installed, also [23:14] anyone know anything about udev rules? [23:14] SiDi sounds good im going to look at the web site see how to upgrade [23:14] SiDi: i'm not really worried about legality here [23:14] need help with a bug in mine [23:15] RHorse: how do I install the restricted drivers?

[23:59] is there a xterm command i can run to just upgrade [23:59] SiDi: but ive done it that way befor for the faimly [23:59] alright, i need help with unetbootin. i downloaded the iso for ubuntu, used it to copy files to ti, and booted it up. but it gets to a screen with "press tab to edit options" and its blank, theres a menu but its empty [23:59] because its not showing me the update or anything [23:59] myself I am sure xsetbg will work, if you can install it. [23:59] twisted: go to the software sources thingy, and enable the upgrades [23:59] usser, its a session which settings are not saved, just like the livecd's. but its a session you can boot in from the DM... [23:59] any other IRC chatrooms i should have on my list other than Ubuntu and TwitLive (leo laporte)
