helmethedd8.04 to 8.1000:00
naiand wich one should i install if i want a basic gnome but with nice fonts? (no gdm, no evolution, no ekiga...)00:00
kev2121deany, why #kubuntu?00:00
deanykev2121, hmm, well I thought it was00:00
deanykev2121, maybe not then.  kernel and basic hardware support is the same, the rest are kde apps....00:01
VCoolionai: check in synaptic or by "aptitude show packagename"; you'll need at least gnome and gnome-core I think but probably they depend on each other; gdm is the login window, are you sure you don't want that?00:01
bishopHh why not upgrade to 9?00:01
cabreybishop, depends on your hardware really00:02
usr13helmethedd: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-8.04-to-ubuntu-8.10-desktop-and-server00:02
bishopcabrey yep00:02
usr13helmethedd: But the easiest way is to get the Alternate CD and just upgrade from it.00:02
shunobiesCould someone tell me how to find your ip address in the terminal setting?00:02
psychhi, whats the best command to copy an entire partition to another disk ?00:03
deanykev2121, there are some good kde apps tho, put some of the ubuntu ones to shame..   lets not mention brasero compared to k3b..00:03
usr13shunobies: ifconfig00:03
cabreyshunobies, ifconfig00:03
psychi planned to do it using a live cd00:03
deanykev2121, brasero is a joke.00:03

psychonce clonezilla dont work good with logical partitions00:03
cabreydeany, brasero is fine, it works what else do you want?00:03
kev2121deany, I see..00:03
LewisSharpSmall question. How safe is it to upgrade a linux version (example to 8.0.4 LTS). I am wondering because if it's not safe, I'd need to do a ghost of my main partition or something close to that in case of a major problem.00:03
deanycabrey, for you maybe00:03
VCoolionai: gnome-desktop-environment contains all the extra apps , including web browsing, email, CD burning and ripping, encryption tools, audio and video playback, network and communication tools,  document viewers, remote desktop utilities, and much more.00:04
deanycabrey, I and at least 5 other people I know it dont00:04
naiouch00:04
naii don't want anything of that00:04
kev2121deany, so, apps do not have the same name?00:04
nai(that's why i installed the minimal version so i can only install what i need now)00:04
usr13LewisSharp: You're in a good place actually, 8.04 is LTS and, well, that's  a pretty good place to stay.00:04
LewisSharpno, I mean to that version. I'm a few version down actually00:05
LewisSharpI'm not 100% sure which version I am at right now00:05
usr13LewisSharp: Oh, upgrading TO 8.04  sorry... I didn't read carefully.00:05
LewisSharp:)00:05
cabreydeany, whatever, i'm not getting into a debate over burning software of all things00:05
deanycabrey, and brasero has less features..  It might work for you, thats great.00:05
cabrey;)00:05
hipitihopcan someone please help me put grub on an usb attached drive, I have copied the boot (ext3) extended and swap from another drive already00:05
deanycabrey, even shell tools work better00:05
VCoolionai: you need gnome-core then00:05
usr13LewisSharp: lsb_release -a00:06
VCoolionai: run "aptitude show gnome-core" to see what it contains00:06
nztalmy dvd burner, doesn't have burnproof technology, it has some other similar technology so that option is greyed out when i right click "write iso"  to disc.  any chance its being utilized ?00:06

laegis there a way to make sudo apt-get show me everything libgtk*?00:09
shunobiesI can't view my routers admin page in browser because it will only work on Internet Explorer not FF what should i do?00:10
VCoolionai: I think you'll need (one of) the libgnome packages if you only want gnome itself; anyway uninstall gnome-core and run "sudo apt-get autoremove" and you're back where you started00:10

papnaterr_, You'd be able to store nontrivial amounts of data and extra software on it.01:02
Arkhalisterr_: depends on the size of the live cd01:02
rwwScottG: if the CD tray is open, -T and -t will do the same thing01:02
ScottGrww: Wait i lied01:02
ScottGrww: Yea01:02
papnaScottG, If you don't know, -t is for you--then you know it will end up closed.01:02

Arkhalisthere is even an app out there to take the live cd file (even windows xp) and make it bootable on a thumb drive01:07
redsoxkinghello everyone01:07
rwwlaeg: when you type in "pidgin", bash looks in your $PATH variable and looks in every directory in there, from left to right, until it finds one. You can see what's in $PATH with "echo $PATH".01:08
Arkhalisdoes it all for you01:08
cabreyArkhalis, why do you need >1 GB drive?01:08
terr_Arkhalis: you will need to 1) install the driver in the mkinitrd helper file - means you need to man mkinitrd01:08
terr_Arkhalis: or modprobe blah01:08
Arkhaliscabrey: never said he did... i was saying mine was 2gb but it was extra space01:08
cabreyahh mk :)01:08

terr_then your make sequence01:48
cabreypastebin it!01:48
terr_damn - I forget the make sequence01:48
Arkhalisok i will one sec01:48
donnyshould i uninstall wine and reinstal it ?01:48
laegcabrey: you there mate? i sudo aptitude remove pidgin, sudo apt-get autocleanand then tried sudo aptitude install pidgin but it says bash: /usr/local/bin/pidgin: No such file or directory01:48
terr_Arkhalis: do this for me:  cd /var/log; dmesg and tell me the bogomips01:48
thinkle79fattybutterpance: Thanks -- I think that's a different graphics driver though. I found this -- http://mok0.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/ubuntu-on-the-dell-mini-10-2/ -- which has a comment that refers to exactly what I'm experiencing. Unfortunately, the solution (install psb-kernel-source) isn't working as I'm getting error building the module.01:48
cabreylaeg, have you tried logging out and back in again?01:49
geirhadonny: Sure you got the right directory?01:49
donnywich directory ? were the wow files are ?01:49
geirhadonny: Try this. In the terminal type wine followed by  a space, then drag the file installer.exe onto the terminal window, then run the command01:50
donnyi think it workes01:51
laegcabrey: before or after install?01:51
Arkhalisterr_: where do i find the bogomips in dmesg?01:51
cabreylaeg, after01:51
terr_Arkhalis: at the top01:51
geirhadonny: Then you had probably "cd"-ed to the wrong directory earlier01:51
donnythank you geirha01:51
laegcabrey: when i install pidgin it also doesn't put any shortcuts in the apps menu like it used to in case that's relevant..01:51

terr_Arkhalis: damn - I can't find my goat book!01:54

nellmathewumm.. how the heck do i get outta zoom desktop in compiz? =X01:54
usr13BrianV: Well, yes, but why not just let the install program repartion and re-format the space for you?01:54
VCoolioDarck1: did you also unplug on the monitor side? That was crucial to the guy I remembered; should have mentioned before; http://cafelinux.org/forum/index.php?topic=25.0;msg=159 ; otherwise I'm out of ideas01:54
BrianVusr13: because I have an existing fedora 11 partition there I want to overwrite01:54
usr13BrianV: Is it empty?  (no files on it?)01:54
BrianVusr13: the problem is, the installer isn't picking up on my ext4 partitions01:55
darck1How could that matter? If it's unplugged at one side then... well... the computer won't know that it's unplugged at the other01:55
usr13BrianV: Delete the partiton.01:55
terr_Arkhalis: make sequence:  configure; make; make install\01:55
terr_Arkhalis: make sequence:  configure; make; make install01:55
nellmathewnvm, just needed to click desktop and super+r, figures..01:55
BrianVusr13: I can't. I have 2 ext4 partitions. The installer just sees it as one big unrecognized lump of disk01:56
VCooliodarck1: [quote] how does that make effing sense [/quote] read the link01:56
Arkhalissorry, got the fiance yaking in my ear what does that mean and that01:56
darck1lol01:56
Arkhaliscan't think lol01:56
BrianVthat is, it doesn't recognize the individual partitions01:56
darck1I just did01:56
darck1okay - trying again01:56
cabreylaeg, gnome sometimes takes a little to update its menu system01:56
sebsebsebBrianV: which version of Ubuntu?01:56
Arkhalisthe dmesg scrolls too far and the top is too far up to read the bogomips01:56
=== kompulsa_dot_com is now known as Tetracomm
BrianVsebsebseb: 9.0401:56
sebsebsebBrianV: and the Live CD won't detect the Fedora Ext4 hum01:57
terr_Arkhalis: NEVER but NEVER say "yacking".  tyr dmesg | less01:57
Arkhalisalso...01:57
terr_Arkhalis: treat em nice!  they can make your life miserable01:57
sebsebsebBrianV: Ext4 is a bit bad in 9.04 anyway,  since  no 2.6.30  kernel from the repo  as an update and so on01:57
Arkhalisfor some reason when i save my make sequence into a text doc01:57
BrianVsebsebseb: yes. Although now that I think about it... I used LVM, and if I recall, Ubuntu needs extra packages to use LVM01:57
Arkhalistext file that is01:57
sebsebsebBrianV: Ubuntu only do security updates you see, so 2.6.30 does not count01:57
Arkhalistransfer to this pc it comes up gibberish so i can't pastebin it this time01:57
Arkhalisit's odd01:57
terr_Arkhalis: dmesg | grep bogo01:58
BrianVsebsebseb: hmm... that's a problem then. The Fedora install is troublesome, and I was hoping to upgrade easily. It locks up every time I try to backup my disk01:58
terr_Arkhalis: what country are you in?01:58
sebsebsebBrianV: well with the default kernel in 9.04 people can get a lockup when deleting data, it's in the release notes01:58
darck1okay - unplugged and re-plugged, restarting x01:58

terr_oh - working the late shift then01:58
gmaphow do i apt-get install a list of packages from a text file?01:59
sebsebsebBrianV:   Fedora 11 uses Ext4 by default, and it's meant to be pretty good there :)  also  Ubuntu 9.10 released at the end of October will be using by default01:59
BrianVsebsebseb: ok. Well, I guess my strategy then is to try to get the disk to read with the liveCD so I can back it up.01:59
Arkhalisyeah work at a bar01:59
terr_gmap put #/bin/bash as the 1st line and execute it.  chmod +c blah  ./blah01:59
BrianVsebsebseb: then I will reformat to ext3, and start from scratch02:00
terr_chmod +x blah02:00
Ahadielgmap, for pkg in `cat /path/to/file`; do apt-get install $pkg; done02:00
Darck1Well it was a lovely little ride - but it didn't help02:00
Ahadielgmap, but that's assuming each package is on it's own line02:00
sebsebsebBrianV: how about  starting from scratch with  at least / in Ext4, at least then Ubuntu is faster to boot.02:00
Ddordawill Intel Core2Duo E2180 run ubuntu fine?02:00
terr_Arkhalis: I'd like a beer02:00
sebsebsebBrianV: keep data on Ext3 for now02:00
gmapok thx Ahadiel02:00
BrianVsebsebseb: because /home is already on EXT4 from the Fedora 11 install02:01
willI hope this is the channel for people that just did stupid things. I just ran gzip on a directory without using tar first. Is there anyway to unzip all of the .gz files in all of the subdirectories at once?02:01
sebsebsebBrianV: right, but you made it sound like you were going to start over from scratch with all Ext302:01
terr_Arkhalis: what is the cheapest eeepc you have come across?02:01
Ahadielgmap, np02:01
BrianVsebsebseb: I may have to. If EXT4 support isn't ready in Ubuntu, no sense keeping it02:01
gogetaterr_ 900a ebay 150$02:02
SeekingNothingI've got an error when I try to uninstall things that reads "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.02:02
SeekingNothingE: _cache->open() failed, please report." when I enter that into the terminal I get the following error, "dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0004' near line 14 package 'labyrinth': EOF during value field 'Description' (missing final newline)". What do I do?02:02
Mike_lifeguardwill: probably look for an -r option in man gzip?02:02
sebsebsebBrianV: when doing another distro, it's probably  usaully better to start over from scratch well for stuff such as /02:02
gogetanew02:02
samoraihi! gye02:02
BrianVsebsebseb: well, / I would have. But /home I was trying to save02:02
sebsebsebBrianV: delete the Fedora / and start over with an Ubuntu /02:02
Mike_lifeguardwill: or use find and tell it to unzip them02:02
gmapAhadiel: would this work? "$apt-get install | cat pkg.list"02:02
terr_gogeta: a 701 is fine too02:02
samoraiwher's I can get Ubuntu.fr02:02
BrianVsebsebseb: that's the problem. The disk has a / and a /home partition, both EXT4. The installer doesn't see them02:02
Darck1so - something is setting my rez to 800x600 when I log in... but we don't know what...02:02
gogetaterr 900a has a atom but the celroms are not bad02:03
BrianVsebsebseb: it just sees one big unrecognized partition02:03
Ahadielgmap, that doesn't make sense. You would pipe the output of cat pkg.list to apt-get if anything.02:03
Mike_lifeguardwill: confirmed, -r exists for gzip02:03
sebsebsebBrianV: the installer right, but manual install is pretty limited anyway02:03
samoraiUbuntu fr Please I want Link02:03
Ahadielgmap, I'm not sure if apt-get reads from stdin02:03

sumancan i add the sources to my hardy heron and do the install?02:06

sebsebsebBrianV: maybe Ubuntu don't have LVM  yet or something,  Ubuntu is  behind Fedora here and there always, it seems02:06
samoraithanks It's good02:07
sebsebsebBrianV: yeah Fedora is more cutting edge, later stuff  before Ubuntu02:07
infinity217it's too fast to ask anything!02:07
BrianVsebsebseb: LVM has been around for 10 years. I imagine it has it, it's just not in the installer for some reason02:07

Aacroni just dont understand it :( ubuntu sees the drive, can even mount and peruse my windows drive04:02
Aacronoh is there a way to turn off the enter/leave message on pidgin?  killin me04:03
scuniziDishtroyer: not all modems are created equil.. the vast majority and almost all pci cards are software modems. Your chances of getting it to work are I hate to say.. slim. I had the same problem.  I needed outbound fax capability.. (new post hang on)04:03
Guest90862dil: "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 3. Check your installation"04:03
DILfireball: i installed on the new drive not over the existing04:03
Guest90862hmmm. What's my best option?04:04
scuniziDishtroyer: so after trying 2 external serial modems and 5 different pci modems from various era's, I brokedown and spent $49 for a usb modem that said it supported linux.. If you'd like a link to what I got I'll give it to you.04:04
DILfireball: i then copied files from home folder to new install - the tutorial did not work forme04:04
Aacronscunizi: wow external *serial* modems were software modems?  din't think is possible :(04:05

KDeskOr can I copy the one from Karmic?04:05
Dishtroyerscunizi: before you do that, have you seen http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux ?04:05
Guest90862so make sure i've got this right please, because somehow my write permissions are wrong, my only option is to recreate the user from scratch? Seems a bit excessive]\04:06

deagleGnea: I guess my real question is: where does ubuntu store info to launch apps from @ startup?05:47
Gneadeagle: iirc, it should go like this:  line1: #!/bin/sh  line2: Xsetroot -s /path/to/the/pic.jpg  line3: openbox05:47
deagleziroday: there's such a thing? o_O05:47
Gneadeagle: that's dependent on the desktop manager05:47
Dr_Willisdeagle:  depends on the desktop. :) kde and gmome both support session management, and the autostart directory05:48
Dr_Willis!autostart05:48
ubottuTo add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot05:48
deaglebut i don't have a desktop manager :P05:48
Gneadeagle: so gnome/metacity carries that in ~/.gconf and ~/.gnome05:48
Dr_Willisdeagle:   teres always making your own .xinitrc or some other methods like we used years ago05:48
Gneawell then, you have to make them launch in the background in .xinitrc before launching your wm :)05:48

WIGGMPkusingartistxlive: are you comfortable with the command line? show me what "sudo fdisk -l" tells you on pastebin06:18
usingartistxliveWIGGMPk, okay, will check, back in a bit I hope....06:19
unitheoryscales11, all of them? theres what like 7-10 desktop environments?06:19
loofusingartistxlive, : you could try ALT+PRINTSCREEN+RSEIUOR06:19
ibmmanwhat do you use to extrat .rar files in ubuntu06:19

WIGGMPkibmman: archive manager... just double click on it06:19

jeeves_mossok, sound with my 82801G audio controller, I can't get it to work.  how do I fix it?06:19
losheribmman: use 'unrar'06:19
scales11unitheory: i just cant settle on one though06:19
WIGGMPkibmman: losher oops thats right..06:19
drmrhorse_for unrar you need ubuntu-restricted-extras, no?06:20
Dr_Willis!rar06:20
ubotturar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free06:20
scales11unitheory: ubuntu has its options and settings a little spread out, harder to find in a whim06:20
Dr_Willisdrmrhorse_:  not that i am aware of.06:20
drmrhorse_hmm06:20
ktnehello06:20
Dr_Willisdrmrhorse_:  it might be included in that (the restricted-extras is a meta-packages)06:20
ktnei'm trying to install firefox 3.5beta on ubuntu06:20

SyphonSilenthey guys06:22
SyphonSilenthow do I open an rpm file?06:22
ArkhalisWIGGMPk: Talking to yourself can be good sometimes06:22
WIGGMPkDr_Willis: as in, its an awesome meta-package... yea just nvm06:22
Dr_WillisWIGGMPk:  meta-packages are veyr common in the Ubuntu packages. :) like 'ubuntu-desktop' and 'kubuntu-desktop'06:22
loofusingartistxlive, : actually, that should be ALT+PRINTSCREEN+R (takes back keyboard control if X is holding keyboard/mouse. you can then ctrl-alt-f1 to a terminal, login, enable the root account, and fix your install06:22
scales11unitheory: arch is nice but lots of setup,  and then when i think i am all set, more setup! pacman is decent though, but autocomplete is slower than ubuntu, much slower,06:22
dsdeiz_!alien06:22
ubottuRPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported)06:22

sam____um, it could be, i guess, but it's my own home network and everything else works fine without having to do any setup of that kind06:44
Ownermutew, it does not say the dll name all its says, "some dlls are needed for loading the kernel"06:45
Arkhalistry the joystick calibrator to see if it's really there... if not perhaps try finding drivers for it06:45
mutewkaratekickz, or if your fs has updatedb then try and do a "locate xstartup"06:45
OphelixAlright Ill give it a try one minuto06:45
losherkaratekickz: you need 'ls -a' to see files starting with a dot06:45
ArkhalisOphelix: try the joystick calibrator to see if it's really there... if not perhaps try finding drivers for it06:45
mutewOwner, in that case you could try booting from the WinXP cd and running the repair option.06:45
jerroome`do you use that network for the moment with another machine, if yes have a look at your dhcp-server config06:45
zortecWhere can I find a troubleshooting guide for the network manager on 9.04?06:46

JayXloof i did, but i dont have the bash commands to create an ad-hov06:48
jerroome`JimBiggs can you access a terminal ?06:48
mutewkaratekickz, any luck yet?06:48
Apollo2366rameshworr, that's three for three then, I think it's a problem with Pidgin06:48
karatekickzwhat would the exact comand be for the grep request?06:48
Apollo2366rameshworr, my friend has the same problem06:48
karatekickzany parameters?06:48
JimBiggsjerroome`, yes, i'm in it just right now, but all i can see in dmesg is "[drm: i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 0"06:48
mutewgrep "vncserver" /etc -r06:48
losherJayX: what's an ad-hoc?06:48
jerroome`if yes, backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file06:49
ramasvoss: sorry the lap is at her home I canbt find the burner model and I dont recall what it was, all I can tell u is a Gateway mx 6009m with celeron 2.1Ghz processor06:49
mutewkaratekickz, grep "vncserver" /etc -r06:49
jerroome`and then execute sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg06:49
JimBiggsjerroome`, backup done, and then?06:49
JayXlosher, good question... it something to do with shareing a network connections06:49
JayX!info ad-hoc06:49
ubottuPackage ad-hoc does not exist in jaunty06:49
JimBiggsjerroome`, ok, i'll try that straight away and keep you updated ;)06:49
OphelixArkhalis: Alright sweetness all i needed to do was install the configurator thanks!06:49
usingartistxliveloof ,WIGGMPk, how do I get the terminal from a live-cd to administer changes to the installed OS, or, if easier, how do I get the root password enabled on the installed OS from the live-cd terminal? I got lost in the shell there for awhile.06:49
ramasmy father has the exact same model and the burner worked without issues to burn 2 dvd¡'s and a cd-r last week06:49
jerroome`don't need to reboot06:49
zortecWhere can I get help for network manager?06:49
vossramas, the best strategy try the other brand cds tommorow, if they dont work , replace the drive06:49
JayXlosher,  wifi connection*06:49
jerroome`execute telinit S06:49
ArkhalisOphelix: Glad to help, and remember if the app you run needs the controller location it's /dev/input/js06:49
jerroome`and then launch X manually again06:49
JimBiggsjerroome`, telinit S ?06:49
unitheoryJayX, losher, ad-hoc is a network with a mobile device such as a laptop acting as the access point06:50
JimBiggswith startx?06:50
jerroome`with gdm if you use gnome06:50
JimBiggsoh ok gdm06:50
karatekickzlots of permission denied when run from /~06:50
mutewlosher, an ad-hoc connection is a type of network connection built without the aid of any external networking infrastructure..06:50
karatekickzno hits06:50
JimBiggsok i'll try that straight away ;)06:50
jerroome`ok06:50
OphelixArkhalis: Got it Alright thanks again06:50
loshermakes sense, thanks all...06:50
mutewlosher, so for eg. the connection between a couple of laptops, mobiles or PDA's without the use of a router is an ad-goc connection.06:50
ramaswell, we'll see wuth the other cd's Ill have more info tomorrow and then Ill ask again if necessary, if its worth it, in windows vista she burned a dvd prior to wiping it, the lap is brand new06:50
JayXunitheory,  so then how doe tethering work? is the lapot is the access point?06:50
JimBiggsjerroome`, telinit S shows me a recovery menu, what should i choose?06:51
unitheoryJayX, not sure about that one ;]06:51
JayXunitheory,  ok :P06:51
sam____also, when i go into attached devices it only shows my windows desktop and my macbook, not the ubuntu desktop06:51
jerroome`normal resume or similar06:51
sam____on my router that is06:51
ramasthx for the help, I hope I dont have to downgrade it to hardy, as it works pretty well and she has all her apps and look and feel already set in jaunty06:51
vossramas, you can also try creating an ubuntu live cd on another computer and if it wont boot the disc then you know.06:52
karatekickzI gotta run mute thanks for the help so far...I guess I will google more06:52
losherkaratekickz: which parameter do you want to add?06:52
JimBiggsjerroome`, i think i screwed something up with telinit S, i'll just reboot06:52
karatekickzwhatever teh screen res para is I have to google again06:52
jerroome`ok, reboot06:53
jerroome`but don't worry, nothing can be broken06:53
mutewkaratekickz, try searching for vncserver -geometry 640x48006:53
mutewkaratekickz, that should be the command line invocation06:53
ramasvoss: k, but she says data and music cd's are mounted fine, the only proib is with blank cds06:53
karatekickz-geometry06:53
losherkaratekickz: as I understand it, mythbubtu runs the gnome desktop, and gnome has a VINO server built in, which serves vnc'06:53
JimBiggsjerroome`, could this issue be because i added the "latest video drivers source" in apt lately? (like a week ago06:54
karatekickz nah it defaults cause I am running headless06:54
mutewlosher, but he's talking of a headless vnc system.06:54
ramasproblem is she doesnt live with me yet so I wont be sure until friday when I see her and the laptop06:54
karatekickzI cant even find a reference for freaking vnc06:54
karatekickzits simple06:54
karatekickzI just gotta add that paramte06:54
vossramas, a ubuntu live cd is an iso . If the system will boot the live cd, then its not a drive reading problem06:54
karatekickzI acannot belive this is that difficult06:54
karatekickzvery frustrating06:54
losherkaratekickz: so when you run 'ps ax' is there a vncserver running?06:55
ramasanyway, thx Ill be back probably if the other cd's dont work, she has xp in another partition Ill try to see if she can burn from there...06:55
JimBiggsjerroome`, no luck still the black empty screen (but there's sound ;)06:55
jerroome`JimBiggs, could be, but I didn't heard anything about it06:55

jerroome`lsmod06:55
karatekickzlol thats how this one is06:55
jerroome`and also your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file06:55
losherkaratekickz: but you didn't start the vncserver explicitly?06:55
ramasyep I just installed jaunty from cd a week ago06:55
vossuni, but a drive that cannot read a live is a definite hardware failure06:55
karatekickzmyth gave me the option to install it06:56
JayXloof how do i make a bash comand to create a Ad-hoc network?06:56
karatekickzso I assume its set to load on boot06:56
ramasas I tell u guys the oinly issue on thw whole hw in the laptop is with these blank cd's06:56
JimBiggsjerroome`, how could i pastebin anything? it's on my laptop and i only have access to the term :(06:56

vossramas, the whole might be those crappy office depot cds in which case youre golden :)06:56
jerroome`give me a sec, I don't have an issue directly06:56
losherkaratekickz: back to what mutew said then. Grep for vnc in /etc/init.d/*06:56

JimBiggsbazhang, that's clever ;)06:57
bazhangcat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (for example)06:57
JimBiggsjerroome`, ok, will do ;)06:57
JimBiggsbazhang, very clever ;)06:57
losherkaratekickz: mutew: sorry I'm behind you guys06:57
JimBiggsi'll do that06:57
ramasok that sounds good will see the manufacturer and see if theres a fw upgrade if the other cds dont work tomorrow06:57
karatekickzits not in xconf06:57
JimBiggsjerroome`, so lsmod, lspci and xorg.conf right?06:57
Arkhalisramas: only problem with firmware is06:57
ramasshe says theyŕe sony, but I doubt it as she says they dont have any labels or anything06:58
jerroome`yes06:58
losherkaratekickz: if it's forked from mythbackend, you'll never find it...06:58
ramasif u screw u blow the hw?06:58
Arkhalisramas: a lot of the time there are only windows installers for updating firmware so you may run into problems there06:58
karatekickzk im in that directory06:58
karatekickzso just grep "vncserver"?06:58

karatekickzgroan thanks for the help im giving up for the night07:04

Tohuwloof: any ideas on why when I use the fglrx driver I get "no screens found" even though I'm using a standard and simple xorg.conf?07:13
JimBiggsjerroome`, so you confirm there's nothing i could do to "revert to standard video drivers" as i should already be using them, right?07:13
JimBiggsjerroome`, how to repair broken packages?07:13
losherusingartistxlive: ok, now lets generate a root password. Type: sudo passwd root . It will prompt you to enter & repeat a root password07:13
jerroome`you can either reboot and launch in rescue mode, or launch telinit S and choose repair broken packages07:13
JimBiggsjerroome`, ok07:14
ganymede_Tophu: you can tar and gzip your entire home directory, or maybe just the dot-folders07:14
loofhmmm, what drivers are you using?07:14
JimBiggsjerroome`, is that normal that i can't use the arrows to change the menu in telinit S?07:14
loofTohuw, : what ati drivers, i mean07:14
jerroome`if you boot in recue mode, you first have to drop to a root shell in order to set your network connection and after that laucnh repair broken packages07:14

losherusingartistxlive: ok. now look at the file /etc/shadow: the first line should say root: followed by a bunch of weird characters07:16
JimBiggsjerroome`, when i type any key it writes over the menus, and the arrows arent reponsive07:16
linuxguy2009Yes I have used alacarte many times its great.It just wont do it for some odd reason.07:16
jerroome`after you have launched the xorg reconfigure command, you aren't using any third party drivers for graphics anymore07:16
Amaranthlinuxguy2009: Don't use the "Delete" option in alacarte07:16
unitheorylinuxguy2009, uncheck the boxes next to the entries you don't want to show ?07:16

wickingagain: i’ve added a file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi to my HAL config. how can i tell HAL to immediately use these new settings without a restart of the computer?07:21
jerroome`yes it is07:21
linuxguy2009Man i love this wallpaper-tray app from the repos.Its cool.07:21
Stanley_I'm new to linux and all I've used so far is CentOS on my servers, I tried to use Fedora but it seems a little clunky07:21
Aacronwell now that my GRUB issues are solved, i now need help getting my not-so-supported SiiG sil0680 Medley card to play nice in Ubuntu07:21
losherusingartistxlive: ok, we need to copy the password to the server file /media/disk/etc/passwd. Do you have a favorite text editor?07:21
JimBiggsjerroome`, i rebooted in rescue mode, selected the xfix menu entry, but still no luck :/07:21
Stanley_So I'll have to get used to doing things "differently" in ubuntu07:21
Tophu@linuxguy2009: is that the one that auto rotates wallpapers?07:22
linuxguy2009Stanley deb distros like Ubuntu and Debian are great to start with.Good luck to you!07:22
Aacronfrom what I have read, I need to use dmraid07:22
jerroome`then I'm out of ideas07:22
looftohuw: with that card i think you should be using mesa07:22
xooowhere do i manage how ubuntu does updates? mines not doing it automatically. i tried update manager and its not in there.07:22
usingartistxlivelosher, I have gedit open07:22
jerroome`maybe you should go to a xorg chat07:22
Aacronthing is last time I tried to use it, it gave me some funky erorr about dos: something size exceeded partition07:22
linuxguy2009Tophu yeah its cool I love it. I accidentally left the timer at 0 and set it to rotate and it was swapping papers like crazy till i reset it in gconf.hehe07:22
jerroome`those people might be able to help you better07:22
JimBiggsjerroome`, i switch to #xorg, let's hope there's some people as helping as you ;)07:22
losherusingartistxlive: ok, open /media/disk/etc/shadow in the editor07:23
JimBiggsthanks a lot !07:23
unitheoryxooo, system > administration > software sources07:23
jerroome`you welcome07:23
jerroome`sorry I couldn't fix your problem07:23
JimBiggsjerroome`, at least it ruled out the obvious i believe :D07:23
JimBiggswell, it's not your fault is it? at least you tried!07:23
jerroome`good luck07:24
losherusingartistxlive: you might encounter permission problems. You may need to run sudo gedit /media/disk/etc/shadow to get it to work07:24
Aacronanyone use pidgin in here?  I'd like to turn off the enter/leave messages but I dunno how to?  Course I could just install and use a real IRC client... :|07:24
linuxguy2009I learned a cool tweak the otehr day for the gnome panels, you can go to gconf and apps/panel/toplevel and set them to 0 delay for show and hide, and also 0 for how much of the panel shows when hiding and disable the animation.There totally hidden until you need em and there fast.Love it!07:24
Aacronyeah think I'll do that be back in a minute07:25
usingartistxlivelosher, I closed it and reopened it with sudo07:25
JimBiggsjerroome`, thanks ;)07:25
losherusingartistxlive: ok, open a second terminal and do the same with /etc/shadow i.e. sudo gedit /etc/shadow07:25

losherusingartistxlive: we on;y need to change the first line. I hope it's clear what I mean...07:29
usingartistxlivelosher, does it matter that the rest of the numbers in the terminal are different from the numbers in gedit? That is, not counting "root".07:29
Arkhalislinuxguy2009: I love linux except for gaming, I play too new of games for wine to handle so I spend most of my time on windows... everything else is linux07:29
losherlinuxguy2009: linux wasn't as cool as it is now, 'back in the day'....07:29
unitheorylosher, yes it was :P07:30
linuxguy2009hehe true I bought a box of Mandrake 8.0 back when i was younger and had no clue how to do anything on it but install it. Its changed a lot.07:30
losherusingartistxlive: the rest of the numbers are ok to leave as is, we only want to cut & paste the actual password07:30
unitheoryi guess it depends on how you define "cool" and "back in the day"07:30
usingartistxlivelosher, okay, root line only, copied and pasted.07:30

usingartistxliveokay07:33
Arkhaliszortec: have you tried this?07:33
Arkhalis!alsa | zortec07:33
ubottuzortec: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP307:33

losherk2000: there is an ntfsfix program, but it's no substitute for chkdsk, You really need to get a windows system to check/repair the fs07:48

zortecalkamid: What does 'minimal' mean, is that what you want to know?08:22
vigoalkamid: Make a good backup now, you cannot go wrong with that.08:22
loofStanley: do zortec confirmed, you can hit esc during bootup to get the boot options screen, from there boot to console with networking, and install the driver there as root08:23

zortecStanley_: For your particular video card, you might have to install the drivers from the official nvidia site10:07
Stanley_zortec: Could it be an issue with me running two monitors on my gtx-260 and one monitor on my 9500GT?10:08
laclasseBigMike, type 'about:plugins' in your firefox url bar10:08
BigMikeok10:08

halldor89hi, I'm running hardy heron and I need newer version of pygobject than is in the repository, what options do I have (other than upgrade my ubuntu installation)?10:37
Stanley_So  I went back to the 173 restricted driver and my video card wasn't supported so X wouldnt' start. so while I had no X i installed the 185 drivers which wouldnt' work either so I loaded into "low graphics mode" and re-enabled the 180 drier sfrom the restricted menu and i'm back and running again10:38
zortechalldor89: You would have to search the net for the latest package10:38
iceroothalldor89: backports or installing a new version by hand10:38
zortechalldor89: You could try enabling more repositories if you haven't done so10:38
iceroot!backport | halldor8910:38
ubottuhalldor89: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging10:38
halldor89iceroot: thanks a lot, that's probably what I'm looking for10:39
Stanley_zortec: thanks :) see above!10:39
ashlessburnwell thats easy10:40
zortecStanley_: I'm not sure what you want me to see above10:40
Stanley_ So  I went back to the 173 restricted driver and my video card wasn't supported so X wouldnt' start. so while I had no X i installed the 185 drivers which wouldnt' work either so I loaded into "low graphics mode" and re-enabled the 180 drier sfrom the restricted menu and i'm back and running ag10:40
iceroothalldor89: also have a look at apt-pinning  because if you enable backports ALL packages are upgraded10:40
ashlessburne-frame, thats easy unetbootin10:40

markitI just want to change to it_IT-UTF810:41
Stanley_zortec: just to my explanation of what happened10:41
zortecStanley_: Ok I see it now, let me read10:41
halldor89iceroot: which problems can that cause (everything being upgraded)?10:41
zortecStanley_: Great, so you have compiz working with dual monitors?10:42
e-frameashlessburn: yea, i've tried unetbootin. thx10:42
Stanley_Well, no, I'm back to the 180 drivers I had originally10:42
Stanley_zortec: so nothings really changed10:42
iceroothalldor89: for e.g. if firefox 3.1 is in backports you will get it if you have installed firefox 3.010:42
iceroothalldor89: so apt-pinning can hold back the other packages10:43
halldor89iceroot: thx, I'll look into it10:43
Jimi_Neutrali have a file that im trying to get off a hdd and i keep getting an I/O error so someone told me to try and snapshot the image and put it on another drive and then pull it off the new drive that works....he told me to install linux and do something with lvm but then after that i had to go home after work, i really need to get this file off this hdd, can anyone help?10:43
zortecStanley_: so you still have no compiz?10:43
iceroothalldor89: also you can just upgrade one package, enable backports then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install pprogam-you-want-upgrade10:43
Stanley_zortec: correct, also still on the driver version that has the bug10:43
