[00:32] TannerS, mupen64plus from svn is doing incredibly well. else you could go for project64 in wine [00:32] coleys, thanks [00:32] eh i still prefer safari, but 3.5 improved on 3.0 a lot [00:32] it's a good step for firefox [00:32] jschiff, is it stable? [00:32] jrib, ah [00:32] by far the best browser for linux so far [00:32] Comrade-Badger: unibody is version 5,1 of the macbook is it not?

[00:33] Comrade-Badger: there's also 5,2 if you have that one [00:33] jrib, yea i gotit thanks [00:33] anyone using minicom in 8.04.2? [00:33] it's slow, and feature defficient compared to safari [00:33] jrib, i wasnt paying attention 5.2 is the 13" i believe [00:33] i have the 25 [00:33] im getting the same error as bug 244958 except using onboard serial port [00:33] there are some little things you just can't add to firefox that are in safari, that i just love [00:33] ohh well not comparing it to other browsers but to 3.0 itself how do you like it [00:33] 15 [00:33] Comrade-Badger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-1_5-2/Jaunty#Sound [00:33] oh i love it [00:34] name those things [00:34] Comrade-Badger: Follow all those steps [00:34] Comrade-Badger: 25 :) [00:34] flash, plugins, etc... all work? [00:34] yep [00:34] sweet [00:34] TannerS, Read what I said. you can try the version of mupen64plus, which is a native nintendo64 emulator (and if you do, use the version from svn), or if it's too much trouble for you to compile it, install wine and run project64 inside that [00:34] jirg: u talking to me? [00:34] when I try to 'sudo ifdown eth0', I get the error: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured. However, I'm definetely using eth0 (confirmed with ifconfig eth0). Anyone know what else might cause this problem? [00:34] sure [00:34] jrib, yea a 25" MBP sweet! [00:34] ok now i understand [00:34] safari is integrated with the OS, when i download a .tar.gz file in it, it untars it and deletes the tar [00:34] is one little thing i love [00:35] also if i drag a tab out of the bar, it turns into a mini window, which i can detach from the main window anywhere [00:35] nice [00:35] and just a lot of other many small nice things [00:35] jschiff: also in 3.5 [00:35] nope not as streamlined [00:35] i like the safari main page with the portal look [00:35] you can drag a tab out of the bar [00:35] but it will just pop up on top of the firefox main window [00:35] you can't place it or see a mini preview [00:35] which is annoying on dual monitors [00:35] jschiff: The latter thing was just added, and you can make a shell script for the former [00:35] nogaplz so i isntall wine and it has it already built in man? [00:36] is there a safari yet for ubuntu? [00:36] jschiff: got you, but you're all for the visuals [00:36] no [00:36] and don't expect one. [00:36] don't need it [00:36] Safari is crap... TO BE HONEST. [00:36] freedumMan: NO, but Midori uses the same engine [00:36] coleys: I second that [00:36] nope it's the integration with the OS that is the best part of safari [00:36] and not with windows, safari on windows is terrible [00:37] jschiff: That's what KDE is for. [00:37] kde 4.3 is gonna be da bomb [00:37] kde ftw =D [00:37] ThePulgarcito, ohh [00:37] (kdemod actually =) [00:37] i enjoyed the great integrated desktop environment kde 4.3 beta had to offer [00:38] the customizability is endless, and the integration is getting pretty nice [00:38] jschiff: Woooo integration =) [00:38] still not AS integrated as osx but it's gettin there [00:38] is FF 3.5 in the repo's on ubuntu [00:38] !ff35 [00:38] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [00:39] So I just dist upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04 and I have some connection problems. Could someone familiar with network manager and manual interface configuration send me a PM to trouble shoot? [00:39] ibeekman: Wired or Wireless? [00:39] coleys: wired [00:39] ibeekman: Name of your ethernet card? [00:39] In screen, my backspace key doesn't work. It works in terminal, it works in other gui programs. Only screen (AFAICT) does the key not do anything. Is this a silly configuration quirk like the license whinging, or something more strange? [00:40] Mike_lifeguard: Go into settings, and change backspace key to control + H [00:40] coleys: settings where? [00:40] coleys: it was a manual i.e. through the gui selecting manual configuaration in 8.04 because I have two ethernet cards one to a secure local network and one to the broader LAN [00:40] Mike_lifeguard: Of gnome-terminal [00:40] k [00:40] thanks [00:40] !ff35 =~ s/install/install it/ [00:40] I'll remember that jrib [00:40] coleys: don't know the name I can check maybe with ifconfig [00:41] ibeekman have you tried a simple: sudo dhclient [00:41] ibeekman: Nah, do lspci | grep -i ethernet [00:42] coleys 2 broadcom NetXteme [00:42] its not a hardware problem though definitely software [00:43] I can't get openoffice to open a ppsx file from power point 2007 properly. I can see the pictures but none of the words are showing up in both the editor and the actual slide show. [00:43] coleys: it is def software... there was a manual config option in the gui with 8.04 now it's gone but there is no way to update the settings with network manager, the old ones are stuck [00:43] has anyone got dropbox to work flawlessly in Ubuntu? [00:43] *by ones I mean settings [00:43] ibeekman: sudo apt-get install wicd [00:43] Use wicd instead :< [00:43] coleys: what's that? [00:44] wicd [00:44] wicd > network manager [00:44] Both handle networks. =) [00:44] Wicd is wayyy better though. [00:44] coleys does wicd > network manager mean you think it's better? [00:45] Yeah. =o [00:45] straight upppp. [00:45] hmmm I have been impressed with network manager so if that's true I will be doubly impressed [00:45] k [00:45] ibeekman: You will like wicd better, for sure. [00:45] coleys: installed now how do I get to it? [00:45] Wicd is pretty good. with network manager you can't configure an static IP in wireless networks [00:46] I'm setting up a new storage hard disk, and it's asking for a partition table. ----- I see the msdos is the default partition table, but is there a better (opensource) parition table I should use? [00:46] ibeekman: uhh... you'll want to kill the network... so... do ... sudo /etc/init.d/network stop [00:47] Current running Ubuntu 9.04 [00:47] ademos: will you use it in other OS? or just linux? [00:47] and you can start wicd the same way... sudo /etc/init.d/wicd start [00:47] hmm that will end our conversation no? [00:47] I added a line in /etc/rc.local that reads "hdparm -M 128 /dev/sda" but when I boot my system, the value remains at 254 (by checking with "sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda") [00:47] ibeekman: Yes, but start wicd from gnome menu... Or Alt +f2 --> wicd-client [00:47] I'm having a problem with my laptop lid in Ubuntu 9.04. The lidbtn event is never triggered when the lid is closed. /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state reports the proper states (open or closed), but the lid.sh script is never executed. [00:47] and you should reconnect [00:47] How come the line in /etc/rc.local is being ignored? [00:48] jirg, well it's an internal hard disk so I'm fine with a linux-only parition table ---- Also, I'm formating it with ext4, so that in itself will make it Linux-only without extra software on Windows [00:48] flanders: do the file has the x bit set ? [00:48] command not found [00:48] er... [00:48] try... sudo /etc/rc.d/network stop [00:48] (Im use to other distros now -P [00:48] ) [00:48] rgavril: Yes, it does have the x bit set. [00:48] still no dice [00:48] I am 9.04 [00:49] ademos: what software are you using to format it? [00:49] jirg, I'm using gparted [00:49] ibeekman: Allright... Just sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add network and networkmanager (Two seperate lines then save and exit [00:49] coleys: rc.d is for other distros, init.d was right [00:49] flanders: you aded the line before 'exit 0' ? [00:49] jrib: My bad=P [00:49] coleys: gksudo, not sudo [00:49] yeah! [00:49] gksudo =) [00:49] I can't get openoffice to open a ppsx file from power point 2007 properly. I can see the pictures but none of the words are showing up in both the editor and the actual slide show. [00:50] ademos: so you've decided to go with ext4 as the Filesystem [00:50] should it be empty to start? cause it is [00:50] DarkMage26: 3.1 supports 2007 office better. [00:50] DarkMage26: Your probably using 3.0.1 [00:50] jirg, well yes. I'm already using it for my system hard disk, and it's been very reliable, and definitely faster [00:50] rgavril: Yes, I did. [00:50] ibeekman: Yeah. [00:50] coleys, so use 3.1? Is it stable? [00:50] DarkMage26: Yeah.. Ubuntu repos are slow(no offence) [00:51] flanders: then it's not ignored :) [00:51] coleys: each on its own line? [00:51] ibeekman: Yeah. [00:51] rgavril: Nevermind. I am an idiot. [00:51] k [00:51] coleys, any special instructions for upgrading? [00:51] ademos: good. but what was your problem again? partition table type? I don't remember being prompted by gparted about partition tables [00:51] Hello people. [00:51] rgavril: I meant to add the line "hdparm -M 128 /dev/sda" but accidentally put "hdparm -M /dev/sda 128" [00:52] how can i open an image file as iso [00:52] DarkMage26: what are you upgrading to/from [00:52] Oops, hehe. [00:52] hello [00:52] flanders: good that you find it [00:52] coleys: edits made .... [00:52] 3.0 I think [00:52] aytekin: wanna convert it to ISO or what? [00:52] My brain doesn't think in proper syntax. [00:52] Can I get some help with something? >.> [00:52] ibeekman: ibeekman now restart, and... once your logged in... Alt +f2 --> wicd-client (Or type that from terminal, or just plain wicd) [00:53] no just to open like an dvd or cd [00:53] jirg, my problem is the following; I just bought this hard disk (2 TB Western Digital) and so far I've plugged it in and run gparted. The first message I got when choosing "new" from the menu, was a message asking me which parition table I wanted. It tells me msdos is default, but that sounds strange, but opensource-wise and best-software-wise [00:53] But here is another problem I am trying to solve: Whenever it tries to connect to my wireless router, it always asks me to "Connect", but with the password already filled in. How come it will not connect automatically? What is the purpose of this redundant extra step? [00:53] aytekin: you mean mount an image file? [00:53] *both [00:53] ademos: ext 3 =o [00:54] yea [00:54] flanders, you have to tell it that you want it started auto [00:54] I have that box checked. [00:54] coleys, I used to use ext3 for my system parition, but once I tried ext4, and expirenced the speed...well that was it for ext3 :P [00:54] is there any a kind of gui in ubuntu [00:54] aytekin: for? [00:54] It automatically begins to connect, as soon as I log in, but then it pops up a dialog box asking me to "Connect" with the password field already filled in... [00:54] ademos: ehh... welll ext 3 is alot more stable and polished... Ext4 isn't really necessary for desktop user, and not really stable enough at this point, up to you though. ;) [00:55] Once I click "Connect" it finishes connecting. [00:55] Anyone? Help? [00:55] as if there is cd driver [00:55] !question [00:55] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:55] coleys, :P Well over the past couple months, I haven't noticed one issue. So considering the faster speed, I'm staying ext4 :P [00:56] ademos: Like I said, up to you =) [00:56] for an iso image file [00:56] coleys, well thanks for the advice ;) [00:56] do I need to uninstall openoffice 3.0 before installing 3.1?? [00:56] DarkMage26: I would for good measure =) [00:56] So, hypothetically, what happens if my SSH connection dies during do-release-upgrade? [00:56] aytekin: try right clic on the iso file and Open with... [00:56] aytekin: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [00:56] coleys, how do I uninstall it? [00:57] DarkMage26: sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org* [00:57] threepointonefou, you'll have better luck asking your question. So far you've only asked permission... [00:57] coleys, thanks :-D. [00:57] !question | threepointonefou [00:57] threepointonefou: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:57] seems I get an I/O error from 'cat /dev/ttyS0' after updating to 8.04.2, I see it initialised in dmesg, any ideas? [00:57] Okay...well, I just got my new Del Inspiron Mini 10v with preinstalled "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Mini Standard Edition"...I can't seem to connect to wireless...I turned on the driver (which wasn't on before) but that didn't seem to help anything. Umm...yeah, and I know the networks work because I am currently on my other laptop. [00:57] !anyone | threepointonefou [00:57] threepointonefou: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:57] is there any a kind of software like isobuster in win [00:58] aytekin: K3b, Brasero [00:58] I'm having a problem with my laptop lid in Ubuntu 9.04. The lidbtn event is never triggered when the lid is closed. /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state reports the proper states (open or closed), but the lid.sh script is never executed. [00:58] aytekin: right click, open with file mounter works [00:58] coleys: so what was the name and location of the module blacklist file? I did what you said but I have an issue with wicd: it only lets me configure one ethernet card, AND there's no easy pptp vpn config gui and the settings still seem to be locked... I can access the internet and the local network whether or not wicd is started [00:59] there is some other remnant from 8.04 which is hijacking my connection settings [00:59] ibeekman: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:59] to mount an image file i think there is no software to run the file [00:59] so jirg, I'm still wondering which parition table is best. I'm told that msdos is default, but if possible I want to avoid microsoft software.... [00:59] ibeekman: Uhh.. I recommend you just fresh install... Upgrades are scewy =) [00:59] screwy* [00:59] and we need to find this and disable/remove it so I can use network manager which I like and use on my other machine [00:59] Will firefox 3.5 be available for jaunty not shiretoko [00:59] !ff35 [00:59] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [01:00] thank you [01:00] hmmm well good thing I took a disk image before upgrading... maybe I can go back and turn off that stuff in 8.04 which is causing the problem then upgrade [01:00] ok thx jirg, coleys and rgavril [01:00] *sigh* [01:01] I take that as a no one knows... [01:01] ibeekman: Nah, I would just backup on to some form of media, i.e Dvd,etc... And then fresh install 9.04... =) Definitly alot less problems ahead that way. [01:01] threepointonefou, what is your problem? [01:01] Heyo. Is there any way to say overwrite a current installation of ubuntu with the default files? (Keeping all files not installed with ubuntu) [01:01] yeah but this is my workstation at work and I went through hell to get everything setup like it is now [01:01] My login screen doesnt show up after it loads, it artifacts. I tried all of the recovery options [01:01] threepointonefou: Have you restarted? And what is your wireless card? Broadcom, intel...? [01:02] I just got my new Dell Inspiron Mini 10v with preinstalled "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Mini Standard Edition"...I can't seem to connect to wireless...I turned on the driver (which wasn't on before) but that didn't seem to help anything. Umm...yeah, and I know the networks work because I am currently on my other laptop. [01:02] ademos: hard to say, because i've never ran into that situation before. [01:02] I have restarted 3 times [01:02] threepointonefou: Try 8.10, it has increased networking capabilities [01:02] threepointonefou: We are not at your command, we are volunteers sighing just pisses us off =) === andrew__ is now known as AndrewGearhart [01:03] jirg, alright well since msdos is default I guess I'll stick with that. Better safe than sorry I suppose. [01:03] Internal WLAN (half-sized Mini-Card) with WiFi bgn [01:03] jrib, coleys i did what that article said and i have sound now but its very low and wont go through to my speakers [01:03] wow ff3.5 gave me a 90/100 [01:03] ok people i ve foun it [01:03] Any way to install ubuntu while in windows? [01:03] ademos: did you read this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1051692.html [01:03] alright time to restore to 8.04 and try upgrading again [01:03] it s named gmount-iso [01:03] Comrade-Badger: Open your mixer, and adjust channels? Or open terminal and use alsamixer (adjust channels too_ === AndrewGearhart is now known as m1ckeyknox [01:04] threepointonefou: what does ifconfig and iwconfig say? [01:04] threepointonefou: Do you know if its ... broadcom or Intel? or... Atheros... etc? [01:04] thanks for your efforts coley, I think this is probably the sanest thing to do. [01:04] coleys, i did theyre all the way up === m1ckeyknox is now known as AndrewGearhart [01:04] !ff3.5 | pisecx [01:04] pisecx, please see my private message [01:04] Comrade-Badger: What are you using to test the sound? Youtube, or music or something? [01:05] jirg, interesting discussion but the result was sadly... [01:05] isnt there a more modern partition table that works better with ext3 and huge external HD than msdos partition table, given that i will never need any fat or ntfs on this drive? [01:05] Good question! (I'd like to know the answer as well.) [01:05] ademos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:05] sorry FloodBot1 [01:05] coleys, movie player and a mp3 [01:05] * aytekin you are a kind of geek === Outro_cara_qualq is now known as Um_cara_qualquer [01:05] i don't know what ifconfig and iwconfig are [01:05] jirg, so I guess I'll stick with the default to make sure everything runs [01:05] anyone experience with ubuntu on a macbook? [01:05] threepointonefou: Alt + f2 --> gnome-terminal [01:06] pw-toxic: I have ubuntu on a G4 iMac (PPC) [01:06] how do I find out if it's broadcom or intel or things? [01:06] ademos: yeah. msdos seems the way to go here. i don't think you want to try with the other alternatives mentioned: aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc98, sun, loop [01:06] threepointonefou: Type iwconfig first, then paste outcome at http://pastebin.ca and ifconfig second and paste at http://pastebin.ca [01:06] Alt +F2 doesn't do anything [01:07] threepointonefou: check your PM. [01:07] jirg, haha yeah, those aren't really any better I suppose, just different; thanks for the help [01:07] threepointonefou: sudo lspci | grep -i network [01:07] evening folks. I was wondering if anybody could help me out with figuring out how to dual boot. I'm on ubuntu-64-jaunty and I'd like to also boot ubuntu-x86-jaunty [01:07] ademos: you're welcome. I learned something today [01:07] jirg, haha me too [01:07] hi, the gcompris app freezes at the start with the message "No module named numeric in garbage collection", what shoud I do? [01:08] coleys, any other ideas? [01:08] is there any command to ask ubottu to join a channel? =) [01:08] Comrade-Badger: hum, restart? [01:08] later all [01:08] coleys, just did [01:09] Comrade-Badger: try different modes of audio, i.e pulse, oss, esd etc see if they give better sound? [01:09] AndrewGearhart: Umm.. Just wondering why you would want to do that? [01:10] coleys: dual boot? or go back to x86? [01:10] 64bit works very well for me here. [01:11] AndrewGearhart: Whyy dual boot the same system, and not use the x64 if you can? [01:11] is there a 64 bit flash firefox plugin? [01:11] Comrade-Badger: Yeah. [01:11] hey so is there anyone here who can point me to some information on getting nvidia drivers to work in jaunty? [01:11] when i watcg a movie, after a while the movie stops although i disables screensaver and set power management never to turn black [01:11] !flash | Comrade-Badger [01:11] im having interesting problems with it [01:11] Comrade-Badger: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:11] dutch: i can [01:11] coleys: long story short is that I've been working with 64 for a year now... and I've had plenty of trouble. I have enough "odd" things going on that adding 64 to the mix makes things complicated. [01:11] Hey folks, I installed empathy in ArchLinux version 2.26.2, I also installed libjingle, telepathy-haze, telepathy-mission-control, telepathy-stream-engine, and telepathy-gabble. I was hoping to do a voice conversation with a contact who uses google talk, from gmail.com. But "Call" is greyed out. [01:11] Comrade-Badger: there's a link there I think. [01:12] AndrewGearhart: Whats your problems, perhaps we could help with those. [01:12] !flash64 | Comrade-Badger [01:12] Comrade-Badger: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [01:12] AndrewGearhart: And may I ask your ram? === mike is now known as Guest90758 [01:12] Comrade-Badger: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [01:12] coleys: 4mb ram [01:12] anomymous: i have two 7900s in my comp, but the last couple times i tried installing the drivers (months ago), x refused to start [01:12] AndrewGearhart: With 32 bit you can only use ~3.2 gigs of it. [01:13] coleys: for example, I'm using dual monitors with an intel gma card... which made that difficult... [01:13] can anyone think of a wm that lets you bind shortcuts to running processes? [01:13] anomymous: so ive been living with nv drivers until now [01:13] coleys: I'm now having problems with all of my video applications... none of them seem to work. [01:13] coleys: I can't play .wmv, .mov etc [01:13] hello fellas, i have 2 system on my computer xp and ubuntu but i forgat i had ubuntu and i restored my xp so.. after restore it s doesn't ask when i boot my computer like "ubuntu or xp". what can i do. [01:13] dutch: SLi ? [01:13] anomymous: yes, they are connected via SLI [01:13] AndrewGearhart: May I suggest a fresh reinstall? I Mean... you might aswell run one Jaunty... or give another distro a try. =o [01:14] whoops i mean mobi-sheep yes they are connected via SLI [01:14] coleys: my fear is the lack of a system.... that's the reason i wanted to dual boot.. [01:14] i think it s grub problem but don' know how to configre it [01:14] if a cpu is running at 100% what are the chances of overheating? [01:14] thee_, you want to reinstall grub. Backup your mbr using the dd command (google mbr backup dd?), and use grub to point to that .img file [01:14] AndrewGearhart: Lack of a system meaning? [01:14] mobi-sheep: you have any information on that? [01:15] dutch: go to 'beheer' (administration), then hardware [01:15] dutch: http://www.darraghverschoyle.com/2009/03/enabling-sli-on-ubuntu-810/ [01:15] can anyone help with a ext4 fstab question? I recently reformatted a secondary internal drive to ext4 and now it will only allow me to mount it as root. Help? [01:15] thee_: you could also try with the Live CD [01:15] , how? [01:15] irad: i would say low. CPUS run at 100% for long periods of time..if its overheating.. get better fan/heatsink [01:15] too many people here [01:15] coleys: I have a vista machine that is my wife's to fall back on... but even after a year of ubuntu and installing things and working on configuring things manually to try to understand things... I'm not confident in my ability to wipe things out [01:15] thee_, nevermind, actually. [01:15] ... well... and recover [01:15] Dr_Willis, ah..ok, just wondering..whew! i'm safe [01:15] can we make call using gtalk in ubuntu [01:15] coleys: I'm sure I'd do just fine wiping things out.. ;-) [01:16] ? why [01:16] AndrewGearhart: Ah... That's why I would suggest an easy replacement for such sort of things. [01:16] irad: when implaying 6+ hrs of FPS games.. or encoding videos.. 100% for 12+ hrs - not uncommon. [01:16] dutch: Run "man nvidia-xconfig" and you'll find out what this does. :) [01:16] mobi-sheep: see the problem is that when i install the nvidia restricted drivers, on a reboot, X refuses to start [01:16] thee_, because I haven't done that in a long, long, long time [01:16] you think it s easier with LiveCD [01:16] do the cpus have to be at 100% to overheat? [01:17] dutch: Oh then you need to learn how to use TTY. CTRL + ALT + F7 is your Graphic. CTRL + ALT + [F1-F6] is your virtual terminal consoles. [01:17] thee_, yes and no.... [01:17] !tty | dutch [01:17] coleys: when I first installed ubuntu it took me a day because I had two drives... an IDE and a SATA... and the build of grub caused it to try to boot to the IDE drive... where an old install of windows lives partially crippled [01:17] dutch: 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. [01:17] irad: if your Heatshink gets full of crud.. or fan Stops... No :) [01:17] can anybody help with a Xorg memory problem? I am using gnome/openbox, and after starting X, openbox seems to loop (keeps trying to open) and eventually uses up all memory [01:17] lol [01:17] thee_, hold on, actually, i might have an easier, more sure way to do things [01:17] how can I tell xdg-open what to use to open urls? [01:17] thee_: read this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 [01:17] can anyone help with a ext4 fstab question? I recently reformatted a secondary internal drive to ext4 and now it will only allow me to mount it as root. Help? [01:18] mobi-sheep: i appreciate the help, but i know about that. im just wondering, if i install the drivers, then turn on SLI, do you think X will start? [01:18] dutch: You might want to install irssi -- It's a terminal CLI IRC so you can connect back to here after you install it. :) [01:18] mobi-sheep: thats what i use ;-) [01:18] olivia: add the user option to fstab? [01:18] =) thank bro i was just reading that site. [01:18] dutch: I can't guarantee you that -- It's hit or miss approach. :) [01:18] mobi-sheep: cause i would think that installing the drivers without enabling SLI wouldnt cause X to break, would it? [01:18] mobi-sheep: okay then [01:18] mobi-sheep: ill try it out [01:18] Mike_lifeguard no I did defaults. [01:18] dutch: Also, you might want to try... (hold). [01:19] hm === caleb is now known as Guest18356 [01:19] dunno then, sorry [01:19] thee_: This link should help too, doesn't look so easy so be careful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [01:19] thee_, you can use ntldr (windows boot loader) to boot grub (linux's boot loader), or vice versa. Here's option B http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_setup_boot_loaders#Using_the_NT_Boot_Loader_to_boot_Linux [01:19] dutch: sudo nvidia-xconfig --a [01:19] mobi-sheep: if i get borked, though, will "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" fully restore me to working config? [01:19] dutch: -a, --enable-all-gpus Configure an X screen on every GPU in the system. [01:20] thee_, although alot of people recommend doing it the other way around. And I think the ubuntu scripts can do this for you nowadays, using the grub to ntldr method--- which is probably the best route [01:20] Mike_lifeguard what is the user option? I can't find mention of it in fstab man page [01:20] dutch: No. Meh. You would need to reconfigure your Xorg to include some kind of SLI / GPU supports and such. :) [01:20] n [01:20] dutch: Also, more information can be asked at #nvidia [01:20] coleys, well i got it so crank up, but it still wont come out the head phone jack [01:20] thee_, I bet the liveCD probably has a tool for you == either way I got class, pz. [01:20] dutch: But I'd suggest you try that after you test the commands first. ;) [01:20] mobi-sheep: okay thanks [01:20] mobi-sheep: ill give that a try [01:21] Comrade-Badger: Hmm.. Completely read that ubuntu wiki? [01:21] Dr_Willis, which one would bun out faster - Video Cards or CPUs? [01:21] olivia: lets any user mount it [01:21] dutch: Do you knwo how to use TTY now? [01:21] Does anyone know anything about over clocking, and or undervolting? [01:21] coleys, i think i did it all rightl [01:21] mobi-sheep: oh yes lol trust me, ive been using GNU/Linux for 15 years now ;-) [01:21] dutch: Go ahead and test it. F7 bring you back to X. [01:21] MontelEdwards, overclocked forums [01:21] uniquebob: have you ever recovered GRUB with the method you suggested? [01:21] dutch: Lol. Alright. Good. :) [01:21] MIke_lifeguard yes that what I am looking for. HOw do I use it whats the syntax or where can I find more info? [01:21] uniquebob, huh? [01:21] mobi-sheep: thanks for the help, ill try out those nvidia things [01:21] jirg, the latter? No, not recovered. [01:22] MontelEdwards, just google it. Vast swath of information [01:22] , i think i ll try the LiveCD couse other ways not seems easy as i can do. [01:22] uniquebob: the NT Boot loader one [01:22] olivia: man fstab -- but just add ,user after whatever you have for that line already [01:22] uniquebob, OK< dont you think that i have already done that? [01:23] thee_: good luck [01:23] can i remove a package without remove your dependents? with apt-get... [01:23] MontelEdwards, I oc'd once and it failed and i held down the reset cmos jumper too long, fried it. ($15 mobo =) ). Anyways, on a related note, rpgs give you more xp if you don't fail... ? [01:23] uniquebob, off-topic [01:23] jirg, yeah. [01:24] anyway thanks for your kindness helps. [01:24] crashanddie, I blew up hardware overclocking once, and that's how I did it... surely I feel obligated to try save a newb from same fate? [01:24] uniquebob, PM [01:24] MIke_lifeguard can I use defaults and user? ie "/dev/sda2 /media/disk ext4 defaults,user 0 2" ? [01:24] uniquebob: either way, it's not easy to solve [01:24] olivia: I think so, yes [01:24] anyone know about vsftpd [01:25] MIke_lifeguard Thank you. [01:25] np [01:25] jirg, well the same script that exists on livecd for install... that same action ought to repair. [01:25] How can I set what xdg-open uses for opening URLs? [01:25] aacosta_, loads of people, you won't know until you ask the question you want to ask [01:26] i am having difficulty uploadding and downloadin files [01:26] anyone have any idea what .u1/2/3/4 audio files are? sox can make them, but nothing plays them... [01:26] i can log in fine with filezilla but when i try to do any transfers i guess it says i have no permission [01:26] buut i already edited the .conf file to enable writes [01:26] and local logins [01:27] !enter | aacosta_ [01:27] aacosta_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:27] yeah i know i jsut forgot to include local logins to the list [01:28] jirg, in a nutshell, you copy the mbr to an image. you copy grub to mbr. you point grub to the old mbr (windows) and to ubuntu in the conf. dd scares me, and I don't want to rtfm atm. [01:28] aacosta_, just write your question on one line, not 4 [01:28] Randomly, my icons in sys tray keeps moving around, and the "Window List" needs to be added again and again to the Panel.. Bug? Or something else? [01:28] aacosta_, you don't jump from one to 4 with only one addition [01:28] anyone knows live station like ustream.com? [01:29] im sorry wont do i t again [01:29] anyone know? [01:29] do you know by any chance if maybe i need to configure it more? [01:30] aacosta_, I suppose your ftpd runs in a specific user/group? [01:30] uniquebob: sooner or later, you'll have to use dd for something [01:30] Randomly, when I reboot Ubuntu 9.04, my icons in sys tray keeps moving around, and the "Window List" needs to be added again and again to the Panel.. Bug? Or something else? [01:31] maybe? but i didnt set it up like that i can send you my .conf file thru pastbin [01:32] PowerTop suggests to me (Ubuntu NBR 9.04) to disable hald-addon-storage, with a "K" shortcut key to kill the process. I do not have any CD drives on my netbook, and /dev/cdrom does not exist. So why is "hald-addon-stor" even running? Is there a way to disable it from running at every bootup? [01:33] is there anything in ubuntu repos for good wiki software? [01:33] I cannot find any option to disable it in "Services" or "Startup Programs". [01:33] deadmau5 [01:34] hi, can you tell me how can i disable "system sounds" in KDE? on gnome it was in system/sounds settings, can't find it on kde..

[01:39] Im installing ubuntu with wubi [01:39] YOUR_MUM, change your nickname please [01:39] YOUR_MUM: Wubi is bad, just like your name is [01:39] sebsebseb, now it is not working :( === YOUR_MUM is now known as Caleb_the_person [01:40] Caleb_the_person, thanks [01:40] Is there any risks with using wubio? [01:40] wolf23: you can add the vm agian [01:40] wubi* [01:40] wolf23: that might solve the problem [01:40] mistalo: are you using metacity? [01:40] Is there any risks? [01:40] Caleb_the_person: yeah if WIndows gets a nasty virus that deletes it, all bye bye Ubuntu as well [01:40] I dont get viruses XD [01:41] Ever [01:41] ubottu, and all else thank [01:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:41] Caleb_the_person: also it won't work as well as a proper Linux install, espesailly if it has Ext4, but that's not fully ready for Ubuntu just yet, but Ubuntu 9.10 the next one will use by default :) [01:41] jirg, how can i find out if i use metacity? [01:41] sebsebseb, wait i have the error detalis [01:41] I was searching for libg2c0-dev package, but it's not maintained anymore. Anyone knows the reason? [01:41] Apart from viruses is there ANY other risks with using wubi for installing ubuntu alongside windowse? [01:41] If I want to mount my Windows partition on-demand, what options should I use in fstab? [01:41] windows* [01:42] Touch type lol [01:42] just installed a bunch of packages in 9.04. Rebooted and eth0 is gone. [01:42] Now my two follow up questions. Can I easily upgrade my 8.04.2 to Jaunty? Or is that necessary as I've been updating all my packages, etc [01:42] Helloooo??? [01:42] Caleb_the_person: If Windows is all fragmented Ubuntu can get slow, weird things can happen with Wubi, so Ubuntu can't just boot up, and then you can't get hold of your data normalley with a Live CD and mounting the partition, because you used Wubi, and so on [01:42] Ive got the window open pls tell me [01:43] jirg: yes i am using it [01:43] What weird things happen with wubi?

[01:43] Caleb_the_person, you're trolling.. you've been in here two days straight claiming the same things.. please don't waste these peoples time. [01:43] mistalo: try running #metacity --replace [01:43] Kk? [01:43] bastidrazor: report him to the ops? #ubuntu-ops ? [01:43] Nah im fine. [01:44] Google for me [01:44] there is a bot command that calls ops too [01:44] sebsebseb, nah.. he'll be okay. he shuts up after a bit. [01:44] XD [01:44] Titan8990_: yes, but this is not a channel emergency [01:44] jirg: i tried this already and just now again. close button still gone but i have a error message of metacity one sec [01:44] does wubi always install the AMD version of ubuntu? [01:44] Idk [01:44] and what is the minimun space needed for wubi in windows? [01:45] Umm [01:45] Depends [01:45] JPSman: Wubi sucks, just install to harddrive now =) [01:45] I gave it 17 gigs, can It run on say 7 [01:45] No one knows how I can completely disable hald-addon-stor on Ubuntu 9.04? It is pointless to me, and it is not good for my battery. [01:45] cant, moms computer [01:45] mistalo: it's weird it's only happening with some windows [01:45] If you only want a little bit of programs, 15gb [01:45] JPSman: What mom doesn't know doesn't hurt her. [01:45] Lol [01:45] All my installs have been clean, but now that I've been using Ubuntu for a while I would like to update to the current stable release. Does Ubuntu have an upgrade option when loading? [01:46] how do I check to see if I'm running 32 bit or 64 bit os? [01:46] coleys, if I could somehow make the grub not show up unless I want to..... [01:46] JPSman: Thats simple =P [01:46] omfg, I've been troubleshooting around wubi this whole time [01:46] poor mr mental... [01:46] JPSman: And its also simple to make windows boot by default. [01:46] =) [01:46] JPSman: The same size as regular Ubuntu, 2G or so. [01:46] "The only downside I could find was that I was unable to access files stored on my Windows drive from Ubuntu; it appeared not to be mounted under Wubi. Running fdisk -l didn't show me the host drive either. The ability to view files stored on the Windows drive would have been nice, and it would've been nicer if Wubi integrated my home folder in Ubuntu with the My Documents folder in Windows." [01:46] Thats what the random said from google [01:47] mobi-sheep: so yeah my Xserver is hosed now. i installed the driver, and restarted my machine, and it wont even start anymore. any ideas? [01:47] Ohk wish me luck [01:47] Another question, I trying to attach an external monitor to my laptop. Any pointers, suggestions as I cannot get it work at the moment? Thanks [01:47] Caleb_the_person: Wubi is for new Ubuntu users that don't know better, I as well as other experienced Linux users, highly recommend you dont' use it, and instead you do a proper partitioned install [01:47] JPSman: Its reallly easy to hide grub, and change default boot. (You will press escape, and grub will appear, then you can choose it) [01:47] by "it wont start" i mean xorg wont start [01:48] JPSman, I'm using just under 7 megs with lots of software but not much media [01:48] But partition=EPIC windows fail [01:48] wubi is crapppppppp =P And a waste of time. No offence to developers. [01:49] uniquebob, well, the media I can access from with windows partition anyway .... [01:49] thank you uniquebob [01:49] JPSman, i mean 7 gigs. Anyways, if space is an absolute issue, take a look at DSL [01:49] my last question is, does wubi always have to use the AMD64 version? [01:49] o.o [01:49] Caleb_the_person: and if your trolling as someone said you were, please feel free to leave the channel [01:49] its not [01:49] Well cya [01:50] lol [01:50] yo whazzup [01:50] JPSman, now that I think about it, I can probably cut that size down significantly by getting rid of old source files for packages.

Alt+F2 -- gconf-editor [01:52] sebastien, In similar fashion, I don't have an xbox, but I'll look at xbox distros to see whats going on. =) [01:52] uniquebob: it's usaully always better to do a proper partitioned install :) [01:52] !install | uniquebob [01:52] uniquebob: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[01:54] later dudes [01:54] coleys, I play it by the book with backups through usb before anything rough [01:54] uniquebob: well Ubuntu in a virtual machine inside Windows, is better than Wubi, and that was coming from someone who thinks Windows is a bad host OS for virtual machines [01:54] Play with Ubuntu/Linux in virtualbox.. is a handy thing to do. [01:54] jirg: after typing the gconf command, where should i cliuck? apps, desktop, scheemes or system? [01:54] Yeah... Virtual box > WUBI. [01:54] so i just installed the nvidia restricted drivers, and now xorg is hosed, it wont even start. can anyone tell me how to revert to a working xconfig? [01:54] uniquebob: Wubi puts Ubuntu in a section of the Windows partition [01:54] sebastien, lol I survived three months of gentoo and you sent ubottu after me for install guidelines? ... =) [01:54] mistalo1: apps - metacity [01:54] dutch: Are you at command line?

[01:56] coleys: there is no Nvidia device, because i ran a dpkg-reconfigure on xserver-xorg to try to fix it [01:56] uniquebob: do a partitioned install :) I would have thought as a Gentoo user, you would know that it's usaully better :) [01:56] I can't see my battery health when i click on my battery information, how do i access this information?

Likewise, it uses the windows loader (via boot.ini) to get to GRUB [02:02] !ff35 [02:02] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty.

[02:03] Flannel, what are the major drawbacks of using ntldr=> grub sequence instead of vice versa? [02:03] mistalo1: yes, I was going but saw you come back [02:04] Mike_lifeguard: The hardware apparently worked just fine in Hardy, but Ubuntu blacklisted it in Jaunty for "performance" issues. [02:04] dutch: Sure. They regulate with graphic cards. ;3 [02:04] uniquebob: grub is better in just about every way possible, ntldr messes with weird loading sequences [02:04] Flannel: Im not here to argue with people, I have been helping for quite a while =p I wouldn't tell anyone something that caused them problems, and... I wasn't argueing with everyone. =) [02:04] uniquebob: Just the obvious: if something does wonky things to your boot sequence, you're stuck without. Other drawbacks: a very *small* performance hit do to the extra layer of abstraction. [02:04] mistalo: i'm still here, man! [02:05] uniquebob: The biggest benefit is that you can use Linux without repartitioning, whether you're unable to, or just too unsure to. [02:05] dutch: Have you removed it? If so I'd try a reboot, xorg might be recreated. === jonnyro_ is now known as Delobox [02:05] uniquebob: what Flannel said, but being able to run two or more OS's at once is :) so virtual machines rather than Wubi [02:05] coleys: alrighty ill try that, and i might brb ;-) === andrew__ is now known as AndrewGearhart [02:05] dutch, Flannel, thanks. but I just don't know the importance of this wonky weirdness. Is it software or hardware that most typically finds wonk to be unbearable? [02:06] dutch: If not, we'll try some more troubleshooting =) [02:06] uniquebob: of course no good if on 256MB RAM for VM's since it won't work [02:06] uniquebob: and partitining isn't that difficult [02:06] uniquebob: Are you on vista? [02:06] Flannel, yeah, repartitioning data in situ was always off-limits to me. Same as writing to ntfs in linux, guess things change? [02:07] uniquebob: I write to NTFS from Linux all the times [02:07] coleys, No. [02:07] jirg, yeah, they made the warnings alot less scary now [02:08] good night every one :) [02:08] uniquebob: Try acronis disk suite, make free space and it will make an easy install =) And you will get best performance from a harddrive install as other OS's will not be competeing with eachother. =) So unlike Flannel I would not recommend it. [02:09] coleys, yeah, or partition magic. XP and it's drivers are the only proprietaryness I get stuck with [02:09] morning from finland [02:09] What options should I have in fstab for my Windows partition? [02:09] see you all [02:09] uniquebob: If you need a hand definitly give this channel a poke. installs are pretty easy/streamlined =) [02:10] heya is there something called : non ssh ip ?

[02:28] !ff35 | fiver22 [02:28] fiver22: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty.

See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [02:29] ty [02:29] np [02:29] hello [02:30] I look like Firefox 3.5 is in queue to being built on https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa [02:30] it look* [02:32] should I mark "pre-released(jaunty-proposed) and unsupproted(backports)" updates in update manager in a normal system ? [02:33] cyberghoser1: i found decorations [02:33] x-kent you could but if you are happy with the current versions of software i'd say don't. [02:34] I thought we were going to be able to update to firefox 3.5 just by updating inside the browser? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:35] Do you actually need to work with the Tar? === TD--Linux is now known as TD-Linux [02:35] holo, I just want to keep my system updated... does "pre-released updates" mean "beta" version updates ? [02:35] Hello. I am currently dual booting ubuntu (latest version+patched) and windows xp professional (all latest security patches, firewall etc...) If my windows install gets compromised will that mean that my ubuntu install is also compromised? [02:36] hellonickname: no...the linux partition should be safe enough [02:36] technically it could be, but in all probability it wont be [02:36] they are release candidates x-kent. [02:36] x-kent: up to you... I have both, but you don't need to do that [02:37] holo: will they get to normal update once they are confirmed stable or they will go to next release of ubuntu ? [02:37] So assuming that my windows machine is trojaned, it wouldn't be easy for the attacker to also comprimise the linux partition (which is ntfs and accessible through windows) [02:37] through the trojaned windows machine [02:37] x-kent: yes, jaunty-proposed is pre-release updates (ie for testing before being made available to everyone on that version) [02:37] hellonickname: if your ubuntu install resides on an ntfs partition it won't be safe [02:37] thanks, I got it now [02:38] but chances are unless the trojan also targets linux, you have nothing to really worry about [02:38] I have NVIDIA raid on my system and it shows up as two drives on Ubuntu, is there a way I can get it to show up as one and work properly? [02:38] thats the main reason I'm against wubi [02:38] yeah thats what i used [02:38] sorry mistalo1 i was afk, so is it ok now? [02:38] hellonickname: part of the protection in linux is that windows can't write to the ext partition. [02:38] windows can though. [02:38] th0r: well it can with a driver [02:38] and i immediately thought that it gets compromised through the windows install [02:39] X-kent next releases of don't auto update, it will warn you and ask before installing the new version of ubuntu first. [02:39] ... next releases of ubuntu don't ... [02:39] cyberghoser1: np! i found decorations, what do i haver to change there now? [02:39] even if you don't have the driver installed there's nothing stopping someone incoprorating the driver into a virus/worm/trojan of some sort [02:39] so if i redid my partitions and made an ntfs partition for windows and an ext partition for linux with wubi i would be safe? [02:40] because that wubi makes me paranoid [02:40] mistalo1, is it checked? [02:40] another question, I am planning to get an external usb hard drive, what file-system options I have if I use Linux but I want my external drive to be accessible by windows on other machines ? [02:40] when installing 9.04 -does it easily guide you through setting up a linux- swap? -and do you need to set up an extended partition? I ask because a friend recently dl-ed the ISO and I'm telling him (a Windows user) how easy it is to set up Ubuntu. I've had Ubuntu running for a while so I haven't needed to mess around with partitions for some time. [02:40] Yes fiver22, it's extremely easy [02:40] holo, ok, I think I will not mark them, I will wait until it gets stable than it will install anyway === andrewGearhart_1 is now known as AndrewGearhart_9 [02:41] @ dunks -my friend would be GUIDED through the process, then? [02:41] if you use both windows and linux i don't recommend using NTFS, fat should do the trick unless you plan on storing large files on there, ext3 is what i use, you can use a windows driver + tool to read / write / browse the ext partition on your external drive from windows if you like. [02:41] Yes fiver22, it guides you all the way [02:41] cyberghoser1: i don't know what you mean. i went to decorations and all i see that can be checked or unckecked is "mipmap" [02:41] or you can specify manual setup of the partitions [02:41] which isn't very complicated as well === AndrewGearhart_9 is now known as AndrewGearhart === oldude67 is now known as help === randabis1 is now known as randabis [02:42] just make sure you read what it tells you, don't want to make any silly mistakes [02:42] mistalo1, i mean go in compiz -> effects and check the box near window decoration === help is now known as Guest99971 [02:42] hellonickname, i would not have anything more to do with wubi, but thats just me, there is a strain out there that gets in thru the windows and formats the hdd, NOT just the partitions, but the whole hdd to a raw format, its not pretty [02:43] @ dunks -thanks very much. [02:43] hi [02:43] even if you didnt use wubi and dual booted SeaPhor that would still be a problem === lubosz1 is now known as lubosz [02:43] is there a ppa repo for firefox 3.5 stable? [02:44] how do I check if I have freeimage/ image science is installed on my server? [02:44] dunks, true- but... it is a progressive attack, and there are evidences [02:44] and is it possible to REPLACE firefox 3.0, and taking my firefox 3.0 profiles? [02:44] are unetbootin installs persistant? [02:44] dhfs: no [02:45] dhfs: only thing is to do REAL installs, unetbootin kinda copies the livecd [02:45] dunks, and its only active while windows is running' [02:45] if i do a install from the livecd will it mess up my main mbr? === Guest99971 is now known as oldude67 [02:45] dhfs: dont write the mbr to your hdd, but to the pen drive [02:46] dhfs: regular ubuntu setup will do it, just target the pen drive [02:46] cyberghoser1: i went to gconf-editor. there is a list with all programs. when i click on compiz there is genral, allscreens and screen0 - options. i cannot see "effects" at all [02:47] when i hookup my laptop to an external output and try to switch workplaces, my computer slows to a crawl, it takes like 3 minutes for it to just finish transitions to the next workplace [02:47] mistalo1, do you use compiz-setting manager?

[02:58] anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? [02:59] mistalo1, you don't have the buttons only in firefox or on all windows? [02:59] how well supported are is the ati mobility radion ? Im thinking about buying a new dell laptop and want to know if ati has good linux support. Ive always used nvidia (good) or intel (kinda sucks for compiz). [03:00] cyberghoser1: i installed the fusion icon. no buttons yet. it is only the firefox. [03:00] osmosis: you might find ati a bit problematic right now [03:01] osmosis: it is getting fixed, but it might take a year or so [03:01] DO NOT GET ATI ANYTHING! === AndrewGearhart_9 is now known as AndrewGearhart [03:01] mistalo1, lol that's something else then, launch fusion icon on the applications -> system tools then an icon will open on the top panel right click it and select reload window manager [03:01] they are a real pain to deal with [03:01] osmosis.. what do you want to do with your card though? [03:01] mistalo1, i had one time this issue with firefox after double click on the title bar [03:01] if you want to use compiz, intel and nvidia are better [03:02] ATI works with a bit of fiddling ... [03:02] nvidia requires a little nudge to get off the ground though [03:02] osmosis, i have an OLD mobility radeon card (9100), works perfectly.. all the compiz stuff works except a few (raindrops i think? and a few others..) [03:03] for me only blur don't work on intel 915gm === root is now known as Guest69869 [03:03] have any of you gotten the new firefox 3.5? It didn't seem to come in the updates [03:03] yup [03:03] armenian: wait a little while, they're gonna test it a bit and then put it in the repos [03:03] i have it [03:03] seaphor, im not worried about that im worried about being trojaned and looked at. some kid tried selling me drugs on aim and without a doubt THROUGH MY WINDOWS MACHINE (trust me) the police went and had drug dogs circle my house. I'm not kidding, with riot gear on and shit. And I know for a fact that i was spyed on through my windows machine because thats the only place i've been in like 2 weeks === [o_O] is now known as danopia [03:04] i need a program or any stuff to fill 250Gb hard drive 100% [03:04] i'm trying to use ping as I do in windows to easily determine when my connection is lost... but it seems when I do "ping " it will only show me successful pings. How can I get "request timed out" and similar [03:04] How do I fix this? mount: unknown filesystem type 'nvidia_raid_member' [03:04] they have a cyber unit in the military/police [03:04] cyberghoser1: i did the icon right click restart thing but still no close button. also thanks you for taking so much time for me [03:04] be aware [03:04] I got a software / hardware raid [03:04] armenian: wait 4-5 days for it to get to repos, or install it on your own, or [03:04] i wouldnt be geting ati gpu for linux [03:05] mistalo1, well i don't exactly remember how to brin it back, do a "replace --emerald" in terminal [03:05] how do i check my battery health? for some reason it doesn't display this information for me :( [03:05] armenian: add pre-released updates (proposed) to sources, you'll get the latest software updates, but they aren't fully tested.. [03:05] nellmathew, well should I order my dell laptop with the intel or the ati card internal ? === AndrewGearhart_9 is now known as AndrewGearhart [03:05] whats the best torrent app for ubuntu ? [03:06] mistalo1, "emerald --replace" kinda tired :P [03:06] pkt: whats the problem? how it it getting fixed? [03:06] osmosis: personally i wouldnt want ati gpu, [03:06] vvpalin i like ktorrent [03:06] Is there any way to play encrypted .wmv files? [03:06] osmosis, intel cards have issues in jaunty that are supposedly getting fixed in karmic koala (by october), i don't know which "problems" right now.. but intel doesn't have a good rep with linux users right now. either will be fine, if you want support now, then ati, if you can wait - then either. [03:07] !DRM [03:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about DRM [03:07] How do I fix this? mount: unknown filesystem type 'nvidia_raid_member', how do I setup raid ? [03:07] stupid bot [03:07] koshari, is it comparable to utorrent ? [03:07] cyberghoser1: when i type "replace --emerald" it says that it cannot find it.(replace --emerald -no such file or directory) [03:07] mistalo1: no, it should be 'emerald --replace' O.o [03:07] mistalo1, emerald --replace [03:07] ok [03:07] vvpalin feature wise it pretty much offers the same as utorrent, [03:07] jaunty support for intel cards is better than intrepid, imo [03:08] yup [03:08] nixiepixel: then you don't know what you're talking about [03:08] hehehe [03:08] nellmathew: ohh, ok, :) any idea around how long it'll take? [03:08] only now are we getting acceptable levels of stability [03:08] is there a consensus on what gfx card is better for Ubuntu? -nvidia or ati? -it seems ati is getting slammed [03:08] nellmathew, so intel has problems and ati has problems..and those are the only options dell has. Obviously I would prefer a nvidia. Is there a better laptop manufacturer then Dell ? [03:08] hey guys [03:08] koshari, ok thanks ill grab that then, just need a few random things, i ushly use newsgroups heh [03:08] i need help [03:08] Mike_lifeguard, the blur window on compiz does not work on intel or is it only me ? [03:08] Mike_lifeguard - that is likely [03:08] armenian: give it 4-5 days tops [03:08] osmosis: zareason? :) [03:09] I'm havinng all sorts of problem [03:09] nellmathew: ok :) thanks [03:09] cyberghoser1: apparently it's totally broken now and doesn't do anything - there's an open bug [03:09] guys i want to knwo how to get project64 for ubuntu, i bleive i alreayd have wine installed [03:09] Mike_lifeguard, maybe we can try the new driver thats gonna be released with karmic [03:09] anyone know about battery health? [03:09] ok. I give - anyone know: mount.cifs is installed setuid root, and still as a user I get "only root can do that" when I attempt a mount.cifs command [03:09] fiver22: ati drivers have been pretty crappy, all though thay have stated they intend to open source the restricted drivers [03:09] @ patrickeeee -specify. [03:09] cyberghoser1, mike_lifeguard: emerald --replace ->no such file or directory [03:09] TannerS, mario nostalgic ? [03:09] mistalo1: then you need to install emerald [03:10] cyberghoser1 huh? [03:10] mistalo1, install emerald through synaptic if not already, check it [03:10] fiver I am using backtrack 4 and i have trouble connecting to the internet since there is no network manager on here [03:10] TannerS, project64 is a nintendo 64 emulator no ? [03:10] Mike_lifeguard: why would he need to install emerald.. is he looking for emerald? [03:10] Mike_lifeguard, I was thinking about one of those msi x-slim x600's maybe.

Does Ubuntu erase automatically all older module directories if there are > 3 and Update Manager installs a new kernel? May I delete all older module directories in /lib/modules if I just would like just 1 kernel (the newest)? [03:10] correct [03:10] cyberghoser1: you can get stability and performance with jaunty-proposed + a .30 kernel [03:10] osmosis: well, which cards are you looking at exactly (models)? for both ati and intel? and i don't prefer any manufacturer but dell is a great one, it depends on the hardware that's inside each model.. [03:10] if i want to connect to the net i have to commands line ifconfig wlan up [03:10] Paddy_EIRE: apparently yes [03:10] Mike_lifeguard, will it enable blur? [03:11] !effects | cyberghoser1 [03:11] nellmathew, mobility radeon HD 3650, or intel 4500mhd [03:11] cyberghoser1: Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu [03:11] cyberghoser1: no, that's a compiz bug. that whole plugin is totally broken and doesn't do anything any more [03:11] I have to type commands like iwconfig wlan0 essid ETC [03:11] patrickeee, used ndiswrapper for the driver? [03:11] /lib/modules/ shows on 3 different Ubuntu computers 3 (but different) module directories.

[03:12] Mike_lifeguard, too bad :( [03:12] patrickeee a package for using windows drivers with some hardware thats not supported directly bu linux [03:13] !ndiswrapper | patrickeee [03:13] patrickeee: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:13] cyberghoser1 but idk how i never used wine [03:13] cyberghoser1: dunno 'bout that... from the description i think it sounds annoying as all getout :D [03:13] oh ok so u sugjest in stall this?

[03:14] cyberghoser1: that sounds bad :) [03:14] ARMENIAN: It is advisable to firstly install Windows followed by installing Linux. [03:14] Mike_lifeguard: what version? why you would want to is a mistery to me however [03:14] ubunnttuuuu [03:14] TannerS, ok then launch the exe of project64 by right click and choose open with wine [03:14] ooo ok let me try thanks [03:14] bullgard4: ok, I might just do that, thanks :) [03:14] bullgard4 why, you can easily replace grub [03:14] Mike_lifeguard, yeap tested on two laptops with same chipset [03:14] koshari: any semi-recent version... I want to see if it'll play DRM-encrypted video so I don't have to boot into windows [03:14] osmosis: from searching around a bit, intel seems more compatible out of the box - 3650 has some issues but you can fix them easily: http://blog.sbw.be/2009/06/18/ubuntu-ati-hd-3650-elitebook/ === richard is now known as stickboy [03:15] could someone message me about kildclient fonts for Medievia -I'm lost.

The error says that the offending key is in /home//.ssh/known_hosts:3 .. does that mean it's the 3rd key reference in the file? and if I delete that reference will it try to reconnect? [04:41] joining [04:41] :p [04:41] exit's gnome 3 for ubuntu? [04:42] izinucs, you might try deleting your known_hosts file [04:42] mbeierl: You should have a look at the "autofs" package. Mount points can be configured so they mount whenever the path to them is accessed. [04:42] sup doods [04:42] you can back it up first if you are scared [04:42] Interphase: the whole thing or just the key reference for the third listing? [04:42] probably just the third listing [04:43] Interphase: ok.. I'll give that a shot.. I alway create a backup anyway.. no worries. thanks. [04:43] what service controls usb devices [04:43] does aire work in linux? [04:43] i accidentally hid the menu bar of my xchat client [04:43] flex? [04:43] how do i turn it on again [04:43] whats the app that visually configures the kernel ? [04:43] izinucs: That means that the offending system entry is in the 3rd line. The identity of the systems is hidden in recent versions of ssh for security. If you delete the third line then ssh will complain that it doesn't know the key and ask you if that is OK.

[04:44] make menuconfig or make xconfig [04:44] in term or in xchat? [04:45] Severity1: Perhaps F9 It kind of depends on which client you are using. [04:45] it takes the whole screen [04:45] Interphase: thanks that worked.. stroyan thanks that's exactly what happened... [04:45] =D [04:45] that is so weird [04:46] anybody knows about it ? [04:46] does ubuntu-server automatically detect usb devices? [04:47] P_Kable: if this is on boot then it's normal and you have a large drive.. 30 minutes is a long time but is drive size dependant.. [04:47] stroyan, okay thanks that worked, i noticed there was actually a prompt that tells thatsame command to toggle the menubar [04:47] stroyan, andi didnt even bother looking at it xp [04:47] Scunizi=> thanks this is comforting :) [04:47] any way for ubuntu to be forced to use xorg.conf settings rather than "Display Preferences"? [04:48] I did ctrl+d to skip it and my /home/users were all gone, so I reboot and let it do it Scunizi [04:48] Severity1: You can also use the right mouse button in the text area to get to a menu, including the menu bar option. [04:48] P_Kable: altough.. I've had drives do that that ended up having issues..

[04:55] edbian: hmm, maybe i'm doing something wrong. that command returned "last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 40755" Yes, it's usb, but I could dig out my 4 to 6 pin firewire cable and try it also. It is likely hfs, as I also use it with my mac. I'm afraid i can't remember if HFS is compatible/writable as a rule? [04:56] elfinch: hfs? I have never heard of this and neither has google. [04:57] is that a filesystem? [04:57] i think its a heirarchical file system [04:57] i need help [04:57] please [04:58] hfs+ = mac os x file system [04:58] elfinch: do you mean the default file sys used by mac's? it might be readable but not write-able [04:58] edbian: sorry, can't remember what it's called then, Mac os journaled [04:58] im trying to load a java chat room but it shows a bunch of littlw scribble [04:58] or, what vraa said [04:58] leaving [04:58] i cant even see the text [04:58] how do i fix it [04:58] elfinch: I doubt that it is read-only by default. What folder is it mounted in? [04:58] scunizi: that might be it [04:58] COOLKID972: see if the room is accessable from a normal irc client [04:58] probably have to pass some options using mount to make it writable [04:59] no this room is a custom made room [04:59] edbian: maybe it's what Scunizi suggested? it's mounted in /media [04:59] I have a support question - kubuntu 8.04 | KDE 3.5 | Firefox 3.0.11 [04:59] elfinch: I don't know much about mac's but I believe you can get them to read/write ext3.. windows can too.. you might consider reformatting it. [04:59] i just wanna make it bigger [04:59] elfinch: sudo chown elfinch /media ?? [05:00] Hi there. How can I make a persistant live usb? [05:00] elfinch: Also do you have the hfsplus package installed? [05:01] Scunizi: you're right, you can read/ write to ext3 i think.. but i was just trying to use this 2/3 full drive i already have. maybe i'll just abandon this plan and use another external drive i have with extra space.. [05:01] elfinch: or the hfsutils package? [05:01] sudo mount -w -t hfsplus /dev/hda[partition number] /media/[volume name] [05:01] edbian: not sure.. can i use locate to check [05:01] voidmage: amd64 is building [05:01] :D [05:01] is anyone using backtrack? [05:01] :D [05:01] elfinch: just try to install it and see if you have already. (if not you'll need it) [05:02] edbian: ok, yeah - i didn't have it.. i'll add it, thanks [05:02] elfinch: NP. I bet that is the reason you couldn't access it [05:03] Can someone save me from a reinstall?? [05:03] DesignsEdge: I bet we can!! [05:03] What's the problem?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:04] whoops, a little late there [05:04] DesignsEdge: What does dmesg have to say? [05:04] does anyone here know wordpress ? [05:04] DesignsEdge: "locking"? [05:04] good morning,everyone!! [05:04] its greying out - waiting for a call to CPU from what we can tell [05:05] I did everything on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125400 and after initiating the driver and rebooting X I get the same error "Ubuntu is running in low graphics" [05:05] no memory or CPU usage in Top [05:05] I'd like to get somone's opinion (feel of) wordpress, any tips on installation or use of it [05:05] good evening kbfz! [05:05] hello all :D [05:05] i'm trying to dualboot Win7/Ubuntu 9.09 here, but after installing Win7, i can't get GRUB to work. Can anyone help me? [05:05] DesignsEdge: Interesting. How long have you been more than one person? [05:05] MrPiracy: (there is no such thing as ubuntu 9.09) [05:05] edbian? [05:05] newbuntu: depends on what you're after.. if you want to create a site for many things then also look at joomla.org [05:05] did you creat a partition [05:05] lost me there -- [05:06] install windows first [05:06] windows overwrote the mbr, MrPiracy [05:06] Interphase, so strange [05:06] DesignsEdge: :"call to CPU from what WE can tell" It was a joke... nevermind [05:06] edbian: 9.04, sorry [05:06] kbfz, you are in China, of course it is morning [05:06] Scunizi: I just want a website, that it easy for users to manage, there are many users but 1 site [05:06] DesignsEdge: Does this only happen with firefox? [05:06] Ah, no its funny - just didnt see it -- a friend has looked as well - and yes only firefox [05:07] dethray: i know, but how can i access the GRUB in my HD from the live cd? [05:07] Scunizi: my users are working together to maintain a single site [05:07] Interphase, yes where are you? [05:07] Southern California [05:07] dethray: so i can setup it again to occupy the mbr [05:07] I did everything on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125400 and after initiating the driver and rebooting X I get the same error "Ubuntu is running in low graphics" [05:07] you need to mount it [05:07] Scunizi: custom wysiwyg is getting to complex for me to manage so wordpress was suggested [05:07] well, let me qualify - to a less extent thunderbird (so mozilla based) - console launch shows no crash, nor is there anything in /var/log [05:07] newbuntu: wordpress may not be the right one.. joomla I find one of the easier/better cms sites that's flexable and with a backend that is fairly intuitave [05:07] hola [05:07] quien habla español [05:08] edbian: hmm, alas ! still when i try sudo chown "me" /media/"the volume" it's returning that it's a read-only file system :/ [05:08] !es [05:08] dethray, i have a script here that used to work on previous version of ubuntu, but now i set it to Ext4 and made a /boot partition separate [05:08] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:08] quien habla español [05:08] DesignsEdge: I am willing to bet it is simply a bug in firefox 3 (amd64). I have no experience with x64. If you do reinstall I suggest x86 [05:08] Scunizi: thanks, I think I'll setup two (or more) and let them see it. [05:08] voidmage: Successfully built [05:08] hey, does jaunty not allow Ctrl+Alt+Backspace X restarting? [05:08] elfinch: can you umount it? [05:08] I am leaning the same way - I was thinking of trying 3.5 first, just for kicks n giggles -- see if its an architecture hang -- [05:09] elfinch: umount it and mount it manually with the rw option [05:09] newbuntu: if it's on a personal server that's easy to do and probably best.. if you're paying for server space you might check to see how many databases you get before being charged more $$'s [05:09] well that was fast [05:09] !dontzap | dutch [05:09] dutch: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. === Guest75584 is now known as thankyou [05:09] hey guys [05:09] i keep getting tis message [05:09] probably going to take a few minutes to hit the PPA, i suppose [05:09] Interphase, how do you know I'm in China [05:09] legend2440: thanks [05:09] MrPiracy, chroot into the other install via the terminal [05:10] voidmage: yes I think too [05:10] kbfz, your IP address [05:10] Thanks edbian -- I am betting you are right -- thanks for the help [05:10] DesignsEdge: I am surprised. Try a different browser. There are others. In particular try one that uses the webkit engine instead of gecko [05:10] edbian: oh.. ok. well - here's what i did. i unmounted it, then unplugged it, then plugged it in again. can you spell out a bit more what you're suggesting? unmount it, and then .. er.. can you tell me more about how to mount with -rw option ? [05:10] it is right next to your nick when you join [05:10] you can do the same thing to mine [05:10] dethray: into to what partition? i made the huge mistake to map /boot in a different partition this time [05:11] Interphase, you're so smart [05:11] voidmage: I see amd64 at http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-3.5/ [05:11] elfinch: You can unmount manually (without unplugging) using the umount command (sudo umount /dev/volume) [05:11] kbfz, not really, I am a dumbass American [05:11] there we go [05:11] We are stupid people by and large [05:11] mount your main / first then the /boot into that [05:11] it's going to install 3.5 final now [05:11] we believe almost anything we are told [05:11] (going to do it when i'm not working) [05:12] dethray: would u like to have a look at the script i have here? where's that site i can paste things to it?

[05:12] elfinch: Then you can mount manually using "mount -o rw /dev/X /media/volume" [05:12] kbfz, dumbass: an untintelligent person [05:12] lol Scunizi [05:12] Scunizi: understood.. just giving it back to him [05:12] but it is rude [05:12] don't say that to people you don't want to offend [05:13] Interphase: thought you'd like that kentucky hill country drawl :) [05:13] Scunizi, can you provide me with any help with this? [05:13] =D [05:13] then to figure out how to make 'firefox' default to 3.5 (if the ppa thing doesn't do this already) [05:13] people from CA really appreciate southern accents [05:13] schwul: ok.. still working on the video driver? [05:13] linuxguy2009, yes ;) [05:13] or . . . border states [05:13] huh? [05:13] elfinch: that's umount (no typo) and rw is for "read/write" [05:13] Scunizi: yeah I did everything, from the topic and after initiating the video card, it told me to reboot X, I did it and still got the same error [05:13] edbian: ok, i unmounted it , but i'm confused by /dev and /media [05:14] Interphase: so cal people learn to speak with all kinds of accents.. [05:14] edbian: i only see it mounted in /media - do you include both b/c it could be in either place depending on release version? [05:14] schwul: try typing nvidia-xconfig at terminal [05:14] Scunizi, I am moving to New Jersey, so hopefully I can get that down [05:14] dethray: here, have a look http://pastebin.com/m6935044f [05:14] elfinch: When you plug something into your system (and when the system is booted) a file is create in /dev (device). You mount the filesystem of that device (if it is possible to do so) in /media [05:15] elfinch: hence mount /dev/sda2 /media/HDD2 for example [05:15] Interphase: ouch.. enjoy the humidity and attitude over there.. seafood is good though [05:15] Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".

[05:16] gbear14275: why? generally, you can run "which vlc" to find the executable location [05:16] hmm [05:16] excuse me, i dont know where else to ask this but can anyone recommend good blogging software ? [05:16] im trying to set up a blog [05:17] Scunizi: http://pastebin.ca/1480362 [05:17] glick: wordpress is a pretty widely-used one... [05:17] glick: wordpress? [05:17] btw... input for a huge improvement in usability, instead of having to navigate the filesystem to find the target of "open with" if it would be possible to populate a list of applications installed... that would be huge :) [05:17] thanks for the help guys! [05:17] is backtrack a distro? [05:17] gbear14275: that list would be very large, since there are literally thousands of little utilities in /usr/bin. [05:17] im having all sorts of problem at the moment [05:18] gbear14275: so it wouldn't be an improvement in usability, really. :) [05:18] gbear14275: Most executables are listed in either /bin and /usr/bin already... [05:18] schwul: when you installed the driver did it ask you if it could run nvidia-xconfig?

[05:19] schwul: were there any other errors on install? [05:19] * c_nick changed IRC password [05:20] Interphase, l'm a university student ,so I can .there're a lot chinese people can speak English [05:20] Scunizi: umm there was something about the kernel, it asked if it should try to find a kernel from the ftp on the nvidia website, and said there was none [05:20] to install VIA graphics driver a guide says copy the driver into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ and change xorg.conf's driver to via. but my xorg.conf is like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/207299/ how do i change it? [05:20] dethray, no help? [05:20] so... ff3.5 is pretty fast, eh? :) [05:20] kbfz, I think more Chinese poeple speak English than there are Americans [05:20] edbian: oh, perhaps i didn't really unmount it succesfully then, b/c it is still there in /media [05:20] nanotube: not to compare as I know its different, but windows is able to populate a list... and its helpful to have. I know linux is different but if we (linux community) wanted to maybe even do it better... make a list of programs that are able to actually use the file type. A flaw in the windows list is you can still select programs to which the file is not compatible or usable. We could theoretically do better... but I don't even kno [05:20] Interphase, so it is [05:20] schwul: ok.. from terminal type.. sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms .. this will install stuff the nvidia installer will make use of on install. [05:21] elfinch: /media should have folders inside it. Those folders should have mounted filesystems in them [05:21] elfinch: "sudo umount /media/" should unmount it [05:21] Interphase, time for lunch ,goodbye [05:21] has ubuntu changed something? Why I can't get my virtual consoles? [05:21] gbear14275: the "open with" list is already prepopulated with a subset of applications, just not all of them... you're right that it would be nice to filter things by filetype... [05:21] Scunizi: that's already installed [05:21] schwul: then reinstall the driver.. when you need to restart the gui type .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start .. [05:21] lol, later [05:22] gbear14275: but this is not the best place for suggestions - try brainstorm.ubuntu.com and submit your idea there. (first see if there already is a suggestion for your idea) [05:22] schwul: basically say yes to all the questions it asks on install. [05:22] elfinch: If the folders from your device are still accessible in your system then it is mounted. [05:22] oh alright [05:22] Interphase, a last question "lol" means? [05:22] hi [05:22] Laugh Out Loud: to express your amusement with something [05:22] nanotube: I'm sorry I didn't realize that. I was trying to open a .pls file and while mediaplayer was listed (win) vlc wasn't and had to find it... that was a bad assumption on my part that we didn't already populate the list... (which wasn't true) [05:23] not very serious [05:23] people just said it [05:23] *say it [05:23] hehe [05:23] gbear14275: filtering by filetype (which would involve maintaining a list of app-filetype matches somewhere) is still a pretty decent idea (i think). so if you do have a minute, i would suggest sticking it up on brainstorm.ubuntu.com. :) [05:23] what's the server address for this, I want to connect on my laptop [05:23] nanotube: thanks! I appreciate the help [05:24] nanotube: and will do [05:24] edbian - FYI - added repos for 3.5 - installed - same problem -- guess I am off to reinstall land [05:24] schwul: for this irc server? irc.freenode.net #ubuntu [05:24] Scunizi: ok thank you [05:24] gbear14275: cool, good luck :) [05:24] DesignsEdge: I'm sorry to hear that.

Or ask her to install pastebinit with sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then do lspci | pastebinit and give us back the URL that is returned [05:28] JanC: haha you're my evil twin. [05:28] Can someone help me to get a script run at boot? [05:28] I thought I was looking into a mirror [05:28] EsotericGuy: that's, because of hardware manufactures not suppourting Linux properly or at all, why people get wireless issues, usually by teh way [05:28] Scunizi: ok should I do everything from the topic again? or do I have to unistall? [05:29] elfinch: well the mount command is intended to basically undo what you (we) just did :). do you know what file the device is in /dev ?? [05:29] schwul1: I think you should be able to just reinstall with no uninstall [05:30] edbian: err.. not really :/ [05:30] Scunizi: ok [05:30] EsotericGuy: did that all make sense? [05:30] elfinch: That's fine :) run "sudo fdisk -l" again see what's listed. Figure out which one is the HDD in question. [05:30] hi room.. any one hear use ubuntu studio? [05:30] tcp [05:30] ziroday: yes, i'm just walking her through everything right now. [05:30] ip [05:30] ip! [05:31] !ip [05:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about ip [05:31] COOLKID972: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:31] EsotericGuy: great [05:31] Esoteric tru installing the linux-backports-modules-(yourkernelversion-1) then do a restart [05:32] im trying to get my usb audio card (M-audio Quattro) to work with jack connection kit..... [05:32] can any one help me with that? [05:32] edbian: oh ok .. /sda , but having a hard time figuring out which # it is.. [05:33] edbian: there is sda1 - sda4 [05:33] elfinch: The partitions are numbered. This HDD must have 4 partitions [05:33] /lib/modules/ shows on 3 different Ubuntu computers 3 (but different) module directories. Does Ubuntu erase automatically all older module directories if there are > 3 and Update Manager installs a new kernel? May I delete all older module directories in /lib/modules if I just would like to use just 1 kernel (the newest)? [05:33] Severity1: there is no point in doing that until we know his card, and it could be dangerous [05:33] elfinch: Each partition has it's own number and filesystem. [05:33] elfinch: and format [05:34] ziroday, you are right but if all else fails you shud try that [05:34] edbian: oh.. mkay. well, i'm a dope - i probably did partition it back in the day, but i can't remember how many [05:34] Severity1: not until you have diagnosed the issue [05:35] elfinch: Do you have gparted installed? [05:35] elfinch: You can get a graphical look at the disk using gparted. (sudo apt-get install gparted if not) [05:35] edbian: would have thought only into two partitions though. no , don't think so. i could install it. [05:35] if it is a driver issue then its possible the backports can fix it [05:35] edbian: right ok i'll do that now [05:36] elfinch: Only if you want. It's not necessary. Anyway which partition is the hfs one we're trying to mount> [05:36] ?? [05:36] especially if that driver is realtek type [05:36] hey, men [05:36] do you know if there's a way to mount skydrive as a common drive in ubuntu 9.04? [05:36] may be some sort of plugin for nautilus? [05:36] edbian: i have no idea. [05:37] elfinch: It should also list the formats. Are they all hfs ?? [05:37] ziroday: pastebin.com/4edd8a3 [05:37] hey, how do u get a pic on grub interface? [05:37] sorry to disturb [05:38] edbian: oy. not sure. i can use gparted to analyze it ? if you have other stuff to besides this i can give up ;) [05:38] edbian: feel like i'm taking up a lot of time [05:39] EsotericGuy: hmm I can't seem to get that to display, can you try opening the link and pastebining the text somewhere else (like paste.ubuntu.com) [05:39] .... [05:39] elfinch: Yeah check out gparted. I do need to go (don't know how you knew). Good luck! [05:39] helpers, is there any good torrent program than ktorrent and fast? [05:39] im trying to get my usb audio card (M-audio Quattro) to work with jack connection kit..... [05:39] can any one help me?

[05:40] any one use ubuntu to compose/produce music? [05:40] EsotericGuy: okay should she need to know again her network card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) [05:41] ziroday: i'm sorry, what? [05:41] EsotericGuy: can she go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and enable the applicable driver for that card [05:41] Scunizi: when I type "sudo killall Xorg" it says "Xorg: no process killed" [05:42] EsotericGuy: the BCM4311 is the model number of her wireless card, if she needs help with it again her helper will need to know that [05:42] alright, one second. thanks btw [05:42] is her wifi being detected? [05:42] schwul1: you can't kill x that way.. it's sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:42] what is the real problem with her wifi [05:42] any one have backtrack 4 [05:43] yes [05:43] I did that but in the topic it says "In some rare instances, stopping gdm won't stop Xorg, due to the Xsession being busy with whatever error has occurred " [05:43] edbian: okey doke, thanks so much for your help/patience [05:43] helo [05:43] schwul1: where did you read that?

[06:08] I plan on actually sharing it over the internet as well, but I'm guessing that means even more reason to make it an optimal filesystem [06:08] by optimal filesystem I assume you mean one that works ideally for ubuntu === nabeel is now known as Guest40129 [06:08] sebsebseb: oh ok lolol [06:08] !ot | COOLKID972 [06:08] duckwars: less, really, considering that local network traffic is more intensive.

Huh? [06:09] im sooo hungry [06:09] Who's getting their botnet jacked tonight? [06:10] duckwars: set it to ext3, then, that should work well.

See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [06:11] nanotube: okay thanks, do you think it would be a good idea to use my EXTREMELY old ubuntu machine to format the drive, or is there someway I can do it through my much faster mac? [06:11] stroyan: this may be stupid, but wher eis the sbin folder? [06:11] duckwars: don't worry about it, and just let it format. :) [06:12] not yet === cactusfrog is now known as someguy [06:12] ill be on for a bit [06:12] ohhh i see [06:12] duckwars: it's in root... but since /sbin is in the default path, you can just run "ifconfig" from the terminal, and it will run.

[06:13] fsufitch: you can also just grab the tar.gz from mozilla. or use the ubuntuzilla script that does that for you automatically. [06:13] i cant enter my password in the terminal to install google earth. help please! [06:13] Taruz: getting a driver that someone else already wrote? what device we talking about here? [06:13] Taruz use a supported one? [06:13] KrYoGeNiC: you type you password and hit enter. don't worry if it doesn't appear on screen. [06:13] nanotube, i have the firefox-3.5 package installed (i couldn't wait) but all the links i click in pidgin and such open in 3.0, since that's still the default firefox. i was wondering when 3.5 would become default [06:13] Hello [06:14] its a driver for a trident master tm5600 tv tuner, also known as a sabrent tv tuner [06:14] anyone? [06:14] nothing urgent :) [06:14] nanotube: ubuntuzilla didn't know there was such a thing, and usually it's better to get stuff from the repo === david__ is now known as noisymouse [06:14] Hello? [06:14] KrYoGeNiC: the terminal automatically suppresses stdout when typing a password. just keep typing and press enter [06:14] well somebodys ddosing my site and its got traced to this irc ... [06:14] KrYoGeNiC, you need to be able to use root to install google earth. do you have sudo access? [06:14] the tv tuner works fine in XP but ubuntu doesnt seem to recognize it [06:14] umm im not sure im a noob [06:14] Hi, how can I check what programs are using a certain device in Ubuntu? [06:15] ziroday: better explanation of the problem: I have an installation script which needs the super user privelages , if I run it via sudo then it works fine, but if this script run by some normal users it complains for the permission, But I want all the users to be able to run this script with out any problem. how can I handle this? [06:15] fsufitch: you can change your default url handler to 3.5 in System->Preferences->Preferred Applications [06:15] KrYoGeNiC, in that case, try to type your password despite it not showing in the terminal [06:15] how can I make my ubuntu machine stop its gui and just come up with terminal? [06:15] Hello [06:15] helpers, is there any good torrent program than ktorrent and fast?! [06:15] my computer has to think REALLY hard for the gui [06:15] will do [06:15] Dulak, awesome! thanks! [06:15] sebsebseb: i just tried it, ubuntuzilla knows about ff 3.5. you must have tried it before the rc went to release. [06:15] fsufitch: now if he had only listened to me in the first place :P [06:15] I need get the timezone hour for an application made in Java [06:15] any thoughts ? [06:15] would be gladly appreciated ! [06:15] jabagawee, if he's a noob, he doesnt know what stdout is methinks ;) [06:15] duckwars: well the server edition doesn't come with a gui [06:15] nanotube: no I said I didn't even know about it [06:15] fsufitch: says sorry try agian [06:16] sebsebseb: aaah, ic :) [06:16] i don't have the server edition though.... [06:16] what's the command for getting a human readable date/time from a unix timestamp? [06:16] anyone? [06:16] give it a shot? [06:16] fsufitch: gah, silly me [06:16] sebsebseb: well, it's there, and it works well. :) if i do say so myself. ;) [06:16] dragon_: man date [06:16] whats the name of the program in jaunty which does all the effects? compiz fusion? [06:16] fsufitch: says "[sudo] password for me [06:17] nanotube: normalley better to use offical things for Ubuntu [06:17] cellofellow: tried that [06:17] dragon_: ehrm... "date" ? [06:17] koshari, jabagawee: any clues on the tv tuner thingie? i searched in the forums and all i found is a link to create my own driver [06:17] and im like 50% noob [06:17] KrYoGeNiC, then (assuming you typed your password right) you probably don't have administrator permissions. you'll need to get the administrator on the system to install google earth for you [06:17] lol [06:17] heh, i'm trying to figure out what arguments to give to `date` [06:17] Taruz linuxtv may be the place to look, you will need to know the chipset to see if its supported, i assume its a dvb-t device [06:17] fsufitch: and where do i give myself admin rights [06:17] Taruz: honestly no clue. tv tuners aren't my forte/expertise [06:18] sebsebseb: oh yes, for sure. but just try and get anything besides ff 1.5 on dapper. :) [06:18] nanotube: your on Dapper? [06:18] surely there must be a way to have ubuntu running without the gui going, right? [06:18] dragon_: what exactly do you want your date string output to look like? [06:18] Taruz: search the forums for Incorrectly Recognized saa7134 TV Tuner Cards [06:18] KrYoGeNiC, is this your own computer? or, are you the only user? [06:18] nanotube: any human readable form works [06:18] sebsebseb: no, but there are people who are, and they appreciate an update :) [06:19] !dapper | nanotube [06:19] nanotube: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [06:19] KrYoGeNiC, i'm trying to figure out if you have admin privileges and sudo's just confusing you, or whether you don't have admin privileges [06:19] fsufitch: on ubuntu yes on winows i have admin [06:19] dragon_: the default output from date is this: "Wed Jul 1 01:20:48 EDT 2009" [06:19] dragon_: that's pretty human readable, isn't it? [06:19] How can I tell what program is using a particular device in /dev/? [06:19] many thanks dudebuntu, ill try that [06:19] nanotube: yes, but that's the current date. i have a timestamp and would like to convert that to a human readable form... [06:19] KrYoGeNiC, but on ubuntu you can install other programs using your normal password, right? [06:19] aaaah [06:19] thanks koshiri, jabagawee [06:19] fsufitch, yes [06:19] dragon_: ah ic [06:20] nanotube: for example, 1246416750 [06:20] I'm running a home server running Jaunty. It has Samba, a LAMP server, DNS, DHCP, Squid, Webmin, SSH, VNC, the works. I was wondering how I would go about setting up a custom dns error page that my network users would get redirected to when they search for an invalid domain. Something similar to http://guide.opendns.com/?url=drfsdgg.com. Thanks in advance. [06:20] KrYoGeNiC, try running the command: sudo whoami [06:21] KrYoGeNiC, actually, no, do: gksu whoami [06:21] it will prompt you for the password graphically that way === ubuntu is now known as ba [06:21] nanotube: well I'll find out about that script anyway, so thanks in a way [06:22] KrYoGeNiC, when it does, just give it your regular password that you use to log in [06:22] dragon_: date can't do that. you might want to use python for that [06:22] fsufitch, asked for password to do admin tasks and i entered correctly and it mark@ubuntu:~$ [06:22] sebsebseb: np :) tell me if you have any suggestions :) [06:22] if that works, and "root" is printed out on the terminal, then try running: gksu sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin [06:22] KrYoGeNiC, did it say "root" though? [06:22] nanotube: actually, I've seen date do that but I forget how. Google will help, that's where I found it. === ba is now known as ubuntu [06:22] dragon_: ^^^^ [06:22] i hate to ask this, but what is GNOME? [06:23] fsufitch, yes it did [06:23] KrYoGeNiC, awesome [06:23] nanotube: yes i had that feeling. i am able to do it in PHP but i love bash more than i love PHP ;) [06:23] KrYoGeNiC, then just type: gksu sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin [06:23] duckwars: it's a suite of programs that provide things like the desktop, the menu, the taskbar, the file manager, and such as that. [06:23] fsufitch, said it cant open [06:23] Scunizi: my resolution is really low, what happened? [06:24] what is the default in ubunutu, because I had to specifically startup in GNOME as opposed to whatever else it is [06:24] nanotube: oh it's on sourceforge :) [06:24] duckwars: and the window manager that lets you place windows on the screen, click buttons to control them. there's two options in window managers: metacity and compiz. [06:24] KrYoGeNiC, could you copy the error? [06:24] cellofellow: i'll google it again [06:24] mark@ubuntu:~$ gksu whoami [06:24] root [06:24] mark@ubuntu:~$ gksu sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin [06:24] sh: Can't open GoogleEarthLinux.bin [06:24] mark@ubuntu:~$ [06:24] KrYoGeNiC: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:24] does any one know about ipmsg used in ubuntu [06:24] duckwars_: there's KDE, but that's Kubuntu, and XFCE for Xubuntu. [06:24] Ahorner: tell your users to go to about:config, keyword.url , and change that to http://www.google.com/search?q= because putting up one of those search results stealing pages like opendns does is plain evil. [06:24] sebsebseb: yea, sf ftw. :) [06:24] KrYoGeNiC why donty you use the medibuntu repo version [06:24] !pastebin > KrYoGeNiC [06:24] KrYoGeNiC, please see my private message [06:24] duckwars_: they do the same thing (provide a full-featured desktop) but in different ways. [06:25] nanotube: well the wiki for it is, didn't know sf had wikis [06:25] ahhhh, ok [06:25] KrYoGeNiC, actually, using the medibuntu version would probably be smarter, since it's specially made to run better on ubuntu [06:25] KrYoGeNiC, koshari is right [06:25] Hi everybody [06:25] can any one help [06:25] srry all im kinda of a noob === ubuntu is now known as norbert [06:25] nanotube: anyway time to end the off topic, and I am going soon, so bye [06:25] sebsebseb: they've actually added a lot of cool stuff on sf, since they migrated to a new datacenter. they now allow a bunch of hosted apps on the project space. if you do any foss development, you should check them out. :) [06:26] KrYoGeNiC, it's all good :) it's why you get help [06:26] sebsebseb: i should get some sleep myself... :) ttyl. [06:26] duckwars_: like GNOME, XFCE is built on the GTK+ graphical widget toolkit (a system for writing graphical programs). KDE, on the other hand, uses Nokia/TrollTech's Qt. [06:26] nanotube: I have known about sf and freshmeat for a few years now or something [06:26] fsufitch, thanx but where or how do i medibuntu [06:26] KrYoGeNiC, do you need help enabling the medibuntu repositories? i can guide you through it [06:26] fsufitch, yes [06:26] is there any easy vnc server program I can get? [06:27] cellofellow: thanks for the info [06:27] KrYoGeNiC, actually, this explains it better than i could ever explain it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [06:27] hi === jp is now known as Guest72298 [06:27] duckwars_: open up synaptic and search for "vnc" by name, you'll find a few. [06:27] KrYoGeNiC, just copypaste the horrendously long command for "Any Ubuntu Release and keyring" into your terminal and hit enter [06:27] why arnt i banned? [06:27] fsufitch, will read and i will get back to let u kno if it went through. thanx for the help [06:27] duckwars_: dunno what "easy" means, but there are xvncserver, tightvnc, and a few others. Also FreeNX is a good alternative to VNC. [06:27] KrYoGeNiC http://www.medibuntu.org/ [06:28] what is synaptic? [06:28] KrYoGeNiC, that will enable medibuntu [06:28] sup [06:28] hello, anyone out there to help? [06:28] why didnt i remove this from auto join? [06:28] why am i here?? [06:28] KrYoGeNiC, once it's enabled, run the command: sudo apt-get install googleearth [06:28] nanotube: one day I might do some FOSS Dev [06:28] ask your question pheonix, if anyone can help you they will answer [06:28] can i get re banned?

[06:34] it's not the error i'm getting, it's just that desktop effects not working when i hook up my external monitor [06:34] theres wireshark [06:34] dual monitors works fine for me when I use nvidia-settings. My chip (geforce go 6100) doesn't support xrandr I'm afraid. [06:34] i have a problem with xd-picture card and Ubuntu 8.10/kernel2.6.27.i can not get it mounted nor seen.

[06:41] KrYoGeNiC, :) [06:41] Thnx everyone [06:41] hey [06:41] bullgard4: of course some dkms modules like nvidia or virtualbox might not be cleaned with that. [06:42] Sava: hmm, well, i'm not sure if what i was thinking can be the case. for me, my vid card with 64m of ram just doesn't have enough ram to support the resolution of two monitors, i was thinking maybe it's a similar case for you... but it appears that the x3100 can address a decent chunk of ram... [06:42] yeha [06:42] so, you should look in your system log in xorg.log, and see if you see anything there, as far as errors, and then google for those specifically. [06:42] fsufitch: once again thanx for the patience i like the comradeship of the community:-D [06:42] Sava: KSirc sort of looks like mIRC [06:42] jaypro: well, X.org has so much auto-conf stuff it will run without the xorg.conf at all, which is what reconfiguring xserver-xorg messes with. So, it's unnecessary. [06:43] KrYoGeNiC, no problem! seriously! [06:43] * cellofellow likes xchat [06:43] when trying to install googleearth it freezes and turns black anyone know what could be the problem? [06:43] fsufitch: have a good rest of ur day [06:43] Sava: If coloring is the issue...you can just theme XChat. [06:43] also, you know if u wanna magnify any viewing, you can Ctrl + or Ctrl - n stuffs? It doesn't work when i'm dual-monotiring as well [06:43] would it have to do with this desktop effect thing as well? [06:43] yesitisjustme: could you run it from the terminal to see any error messages? [06:43] when dualmotnitoring, i don't see few options in Keyboard Shortcuts [06:44] Sava: so, what is it? Compiz crashing when you add the second monitor? [06:44] thanks dudebuntu, KGodwin [06:44] cellofellow: I have deleted all old kernels using Synaptic and deinstalling the image DEB (for example linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic). Still with me there are two unnecessary module directories below /lib/modules/. Why? [06:44] ok will try form terminal [06:44] cellofellow: no, it just won't let me enable desktop effet [06:44] What is ubuntu application for accessing cellphone file system. [06:44] Sava: so Compiz won't start. In a terminal, type `compiz --replace` and see what it says. [06:45] is there anything i need to backup before running that? [06:45] bullgard4: um, it'll be linux-modules-2.6.20-16-generic you want to remove for the /lib/modules. [06:45] s/DEB/DEBs/ [06:45] cellofellow? [06:45] where is the shutdown button [06:45] Sava: from here: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6871 it seems that total resolution has to be less than 2048x2048 for compiz to work [06:45] Sava: no, it just tries to enable the desktop effects. [06:45] (same limitation that i had on my card) [06:45] Sava: so... try reducing resolution [06:45] just so you guys know, im downloading mythtv, apparently it will work if my card is connected, its a 138mb download so it will be a while for me, thanks for all your help [06:45] please help connecting from ubuntu (8.10) to windows xp, I've read the guides and generaly failed, I'm afraid I need a little hand holding, already installed samba samba-client smbclient and smbfs in nautilus smb://windows-ip does not work, help [06:46] COOLKID972: behind the keyboard? [06:46] is there anyway to get a mac to format a harddrive to ext3? [06:46] bullgard4: well, what's in those dirs? and have you tried purging the packages instead of just removing? [06:46] * cellofellow h8s smb [06:46] cellofellow: here's what i get: Comparing resolution (2560x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Failed. [06:46] aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [06:46] cellofellow: I do not know what your interjection "um" means. -- Yes, I purged instead of just removing. [06:46] duckwars_: use a bootable Ubuntu CD? [06:47] nanotube: ... i was hoping for a better solution [06:47] PyChild: did you look at the samba guides? [06:47] !samba | PyChild [06:47] PyChild: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [06:47] well I have a 400mhz P2 computer with ubuntu, I'm just afraid it formating a TB usb drive will take an infinite amount of time [06:47] Sava: heh, well... it's what i've got. maybe someone will find something better, but... hardware limitations are difficult to overcome :) [06:47] bullgard4: well, look in those directories, and use `dpkg -S /lib/modules/path` to find out which (if any) package provides that file. [06:47] bullgard4: if no package does, just rm them. [06:48] cellofellow hrmm... well my issue is that i was running 8.04 and the graphics was working just fine. i recently installed 9.04, and now the graphics appears to be a bit choppy [06:48] duckwars_: it doesn't take that long... the biggest bottleneck is usually disk speed, rather than cpu speed... [06:48] dragon_: did so, doing so again to confirm and not waste your time [06:48] either way, you coul dalways just leave it running and go to sleep. :) [06:48] nanotube: no of course :) thanks alot for the help, i really appreciate it [06:48] thank you nanotube [06:48] jaypro: I've heard of performance issues with some Intel and ATI chips, but as I have an nvidia I don't know what to say. [06:48] duckwars_: or... try booting mac off an ubuntu livecd, like dragon_ suggested, then format the drive from there. [06:49] Sava: sorry :| [06:49] I can't make my wireless connection on with jaunty. I have a ASUS laptop with Atheros card [06:49] :p [06:49] my os x is very particularly, when I keep an ubuntu cd on there and try holding down alt when I restart, the ubuntu cd only shows up like 1 out of 10 times [06:49] bullgard4: how's it coming? [06:49] my disk drive is goofy or sumfin [06:50] cellofellow ahh okay. just kind of irritating. almost makes me want to go back to 8.04 [06:50] duckwars: and no, you can't format ext3 or xfs or any of that in OS X, but you could just boot the mac with a linux livedisk and format it then [06:50] !wifi | MaKsaw [06:50] MaKsaw: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:50] jaypro: there's been a ton of changes to X11 that some of the drivers haven't quite caught up with yet, or so I'm led to believe. [06:51] duckwars: well, "can't" more easily than boot disk method [06:51] please help me to setup wireless on jaunty [06:51] okay [06:52] cellofellow okay coo... thanks for the info [06:52] also, are usb 2.0 compatible with usb 1 computer? [06:52] will it just go slower? [06:52] anyone else using backtrack [06:52] ubottu: thanx. I'll try it [06:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:52] duckwars_: most of the time, yes. [06:52] hrm........ [06:52] dragon_: no help, first guide assumes I can access the server, second one only talks about setting up a share, I want to access one === mauricio is now known as Guest78476 [06:53] duckwars: honestly the power this p2 will take to run will cost more than acquiring a low-wattage server computer that does have things such as usb 2 [06:53] hello [06:53] hi, does any one here use the JACK AUDIO CONNECTION KIT prog? [06:53] PyChild: do you have a firewall? [06:53] PyChild: i find the most trouble-free way to connect two computers is ssh [06:53] jeffs: used it once or twice. what's up? [06:53] dudebuntu: you're probably right, but before I put down $$$ I wanna play with this free computer [06:53] hey bob3 [06:53] also my parents pay for electricity [06:54] duckwars_: haha [06:54] I cant get it to act right with my usb audio hardware [06:54] quick question, has anyone tried network sharing through network nanager in iprv4 settings [06:54] cellofellow: no firewall also my 2wire modem doesn't use a firewall as AFAIK [06:54] I really wanna get a fitPC2 [06:54] PyChild: since you're connecting from ubuntu to XP, server is already there. [06:54] nanotube: agreed, though ftp isn't bad either. Either one can be set up to broadcast with dns-sd and then they just appear in network://. [06:55] PyChild: for client side, try "Places > Connect to server.." [06:55] cellofellow: "if no package does, just rm them." <- I have done so. Hopefully I will not regret what I have done. [06:55] PyChild: I used to never be able to connect to SMB networks cause I had ufw enabled and it blocked NETBIOS traffic. [06:55] dragon_: smb://windows-ip does not work [06:55] my (m-audio quattro) usb sound card works with ubuntu, but the sound pops and cracks when using jack audio connection kit [06:55] bullgard4: as long as linux-modules-`uname -r` is installed you'll be good. [06:55] cellofellow: ufw? longer googleable string please? [06:56] !ufw | PyChild [06:56] PyChild: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [06:56] PyChild: first link there [06:56] PyChild: the uncomplicated firewall. If you don't know what it is then you're ok, as it's not enabled by default and is mostly a server tool. [06:56] cellofellow: Thank you for your help. [06:56] bullgard4: you're welcome. [06:56] what terminal command can I use to see all the computers on my network and their IP's? [06:57] third google result for ufw is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall for me [06:57] cellofellow: I'd remember setting that up [06:57] PyChild: that's your problem. [06:57] duckwars_: nmap [06:57] im new to linux. I wanted to set it up for my home studio, but cant get jack audio connection kit to work with my m-audio usb sound card properly [06:57] leaving...goodnight all [06:57] I heard that jaunty wireless works perfect out of the box [06:57] nanotube: doesn't seem to work in OS X terminal [06:57] cellofellow: I meant I didn't [06:57] PyChild: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806000 [06:57] oh, ok [06:58] duckwars_: probably not installed by default [06:58] nvm then [06:58] Has anyone successfully gotten Ekiga to work with Pulse Audio? How? [06:58] cellofellow, thx will do [06:58] hi every body [06:58] uhm, hi [06:58] how can I install it? [06:58] duckwars_: it's not even installed by default in ubuntu :) [06:58] ohhhhhh [06:58] duckwars_: sudo apt-get install nmap? [06:58] i can't sudo, os x doesn't allow it [06:58] * cellofellow <3 nmap [06:58] duckwars_: well, i don't know the first thing about osx :) [06:58] osx? you are in the wrong channel [06:58] Question: Has anyone successfully gotten Ekiga to work with Pulse Audio? How? [06:58] but if you google for "nmap" youll find their website, and i bet they have installers for mac [06:58] lol, I know [06:59] PyChild: hey, maybe nmap can help. Install it and run `nmap -T Aggressive windows-ip` [06:59] ufw status is not loaded [06:59] will do [06:59] cellofellow: nmap can always help. :) [07:00] :D [07:00] cellofellow: or at worst, can't hurt ;) [07:00] Flannel, are you in here tonight? [07:00] My wireless driver is ok. But It seems like not switching on the device . LED just gets on and gets off with a flash. My wireless card works well with Hardy. Any help? [07:00] well, if you've got someone snooping the network and they see your scan they can get a bit TOd. [07:00] I need some help with upgrading my distro I run 8.04.2 but for some raison when I try to do sudo apt-get upgrade & apt-get dist-upgrade it tells me that all is good and that I do not have to upgrade I do not know why? [07:00] well thanks everyone [07:00] i'm gonna keep playing with this [07:01] Wzcocoon_: did you fix edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file? [07:01] Hey all [07:01] I've been having a problem with my wireless being slow..need a tip on fixing it [07:01] no [07:01] Wzcocoon_: as i recall, you may have to go to synaptic preferences and turn on update notifications for non-lts releases. by default hardy is set to only suggest updates to other lts releases. [07:02] Wzcocoon_: at least that's what i remember about hardy... don't actually run it now, so can't check. [07:02] nvidia > me [07:02] anyone knows away to switch on the wireless card through command prompt? [07:02] !nvidia > me [07:02] legend2440, please see my private message [07:02] and how do you do that? [07:02] nanotube: you are correct about the update suggestions [07:02] MaKsaw: not using NetworkManager. [07:03] PyChild: any luck? Ports 139 and maybe 445 should be open. [07:03] cellofellow: what did u mean? [07:03] cellofellow: nmap says: Host seems down. try -PN. But I can access it from another windows pc! trying with -PN returns Failed to resolve given hostname/IP, confirming IP and networkaccess from second xwindows machine [07:03] dudebuntu: cool, thanks for the confirmation :) feels nice to be correct about something once in a while :P [07:03] PyChild: weird [07:03] Wzcocoon_: open synaptic package manager. it's somewhere under system > administration [07:04] which file do i need to modify in order to blacklist a module? [07:04] nanotube: usually when I guess, I remembering how things were in redhat 4 [07:04] done [07:04] nanotube: what's it mean when Windows can ping a box but Linux can't? [07:04] PyChild: only thing I can think of is some kind of firewall or misconfigured router maybe between the boxes. [07:05] [Ubuntu 9.04] I am running a sound application all right. How can I determine if it is using PulseAudio or not? [07:05] cellofellow> What can be done about a slow wireless connection? It only happens on linux... [07:05] cellofellow: My network manager is OK [07:05] what was that sudo command to get nmap? [07:06] xiven: First you will have to observe more carefully what exactly is slow and report that precisely here. [07:06] bullgard4: open the pulseaudio volume controller (pavucontroller). [07:06] cellofellow: hmm, a firewall on the linux comp would be my guess. PyChild: try running "sudo iptables --list -v" and see if there are any firewall rules in there. pastebin them if there are... [07:06] duckwars: sudo apt-get install nmap [07:07] dudebuntu: haha my first rh was 6. but my first freebsd was 2.2.8 ;) [07:07] thanks again [07:07] My first *nix anything was Kubuntu Dapper. [07:07] duckwars: np :) [07:08] Wow. Only 1284 users on this channel. [07:08] cellofellow: a good one to start with. my first *buntu was breezy. ;) [07:08] Looks like ff 3.5 was built.. :D [07:08] I wish I had started with something as sophisticated as ubuntu dapper [07:09] cellofellow: confirmed access by name AND ip from second windows machine (laptop), nmap at problematic windows machine (desktop) still fails to resolve [07:09] hi [07:09] cellofellow: windows hates linux I know [07:09] PyChild: can you ping and/or scan this second windows box from linux? [07:09] cellofello: will try... [07:11] PyChild: better idea. What's your IP address and subnet mask? [07:11] PyChild: also try the iptables list. [07:11] hey everyone [07:11] PyChild: are you able to ping? [07:11] how do I use nmap to see the computers on my network? [07:12] i want to install firefox 3.5, how can i update my current firefox with it? [07:12] duckwars: "man nmap" for usage details ;) [07:12] do u have a serial terminal emulator? [07:12] duckwars: there's a lot of ways [07:12] antler: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624 [07:12] !ff3.5 | alkasmolik [07:12] alkasmolik: Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty.

See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [07:12] duckwars: on my network, nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24 will ping my entire LAN. [07:12] okay so dont bother til its ready [07:12] and its not [07:12] do u have a serial terminal emulator?

[07:13] cellofellow: This works great! Thank you for your advice. [07:13] bullgard4: :D glad you like it. [07:14] is there someway to get through this manual faster than a line at a time? [07:14] !repeat > louie_ [07:14] louie_, please see my private message [07:14] duckwars: page down key? [07:14] bullgard4: you can also use padevchooser (a system tray applet) to launch various PulseAudio GUI tools and choose soundcards (I have a USB headset so that comes in handy). [07:14] legend2440: oh, ok: a directory with a file for every blacklisted mod [07:14] duckwars: or press / and then enter the word you are looking for [07:15] now i've gotten to the end and it just beeps at me [07:15] duckwars: also I think PgUp/PgDn work as expected. [07:15] i tried ctrl-c [07:15] to no avail [07:15] duckwars: q [07:15] duckwars: space pages down. q [07:15] quits [07:15] legend2440: thank you :) [07:15] duckwars: try "man man" :) [07:15] duckwars: it's just the `less` pager that displays the manpages.

[07:16] yesitisjustme: are you using compiz? [07:17] yesitisjustme: use ctrl+alt+prntscn+k instead [07:17] legend2440: any module i don't want loaded, e.g., pcspkr [07:17] <|Zippo|> is there any repo for eclipse 3.5? [07:17] ok [07:17] cellofellow: subnet mask 255.255.255.255 [07:17] 255.255.255.255? that can't be right [07:17] 255.255.255.0 maybe.

[07:19] !dontzap | intangir [07:19] intangir: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [07:19] !dontzap [07:19] helpers, is there any good torrent program than ktorrent and fast?!!

[07:21] cellofellow: not sure [07:21] what does one have to do to use a mass storage device with 9.04? [07:22] plug it in? [07:22] yossarian: Have you looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution ? [07:22] Looks like you're got yourself a Class B subnet. [07:22] yossarian: did you try setting it in nvidia-settings [07:22] yes i tried [07:22] PyChild: to ping your whole subnet you can do `nmap -sP 189.160.111.160/30' [07:22] the desired refresh rate does not appear even after editing xconf [07:22] I've tried on two different machines to just "plug it in" and on each occasion it was not recognised -- however, earlier versions of ubuntu on the same machines recognise it just fine [07:22] hi, to everybody I'm developing a web site with vim [07:23] assuming that i edited it right [07:23] jmp_: cool. [07:23] and I wonder if it the right editor [07:23] cellofellow: Nmap done: 4 IP addresses (1 host up) scanned in 0.280 seconds [07:23] jmp_: I do everything with vim.. [07:23] PyChild: what's the infamous "windows-ip" address? [07:23] ok [07:23] yossarian: how did you determine what refresh rate is set at now? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [07:24] i looked in the monitor menu [07:24] cellofello: 192.168.1.67 [07:24] and nvidia-settings shows too [07:24] PyChild: ding! here's the problem. [07:24] jmp_: install vim-full [07:24] cellofellow: laptop is 192.168.1.71 [07:24] PyChild: your Linux box is on a completely different network than your Windows box. No wonder you can't access it. [07:24] but it's very hard when you got the habit of wyiswyg [07:24] ok I'll [07:25] PyChild: your Linux box should have an IP of 192.168.1.* and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. [07:25] and turn on syntax highlighting [07:25] jmp_: &^^ [07:25] yossarian: what does it say its set to? [07:25] 75 [07:25] cellofellow: *cries* thanks so I was't having delusions, I do have a problem [07:25] what difference between vim and the full one [07:25] how can I fix this? [07:26] vim-tiny is just that jmp_ tiny. [07:26] I don't really know. How is your linux box connected to the network? [07:26] lool [07:26] jmp_: You want "vim" for the regular CLI one, "vim-full" includes gvim, etc. [07:26] ok got it [07:26] cellofellow:via home router [07:27] PyChild: wired, wireless? [07:27] but sometimes I wonder why vim and not bluefish or others soft [07:27] cellofellow: desktops wired, laptop wireless [07:27] more easy [07:27] PyChild: linux desktop, is it using DHCP for IP address assignment or a manual IP? [07:28] hey [07:28] cellofellow: DHCP [07:28] I'm impressed with Ubuntu, nice [07:28] PyChild: 0_o [07:28] is there a way the `at` command can be used to launch X based applications? [07:28] i'm trying to launch totem with a playlist ... but it never starts ... [07:28] any ideas? [07:28] PyChild: the same DHCP that the Windows boxen are using? [07:29] cellofellow: can't know, if the winboxen are using the router's dhcp then yes [07:29] cellofellow: My guesss is they are [07:29] lepine, sometimes it can't open the playlist so it won't play anything [07:29] chello all [07:29] Gone_smoke : are u sure you do all with vim [07:29] lepine, try doubleclicking the first [07:29] hey folks, i'm using smplayer and i get slightly visible horizontal tears when there's a lot of action on the video, can anyone help? I really love ubuntu but not if i can't play video right... :( [07:30] techlobyte1: ah, hadnt thought of the path to the playlist ... perhaps at executes from / as cwd [07:30] painted: i get the same thing as well [07:30] painted: what care are you running/ [07:30] what do you mean by care? [07:30] painted: card [07:30] gtx 280 [07:30] techlobyte1: actually ... i tried redirecting output in the at command ... [07:31] PyChild: well, maybe disconnecting and reconnecting will straighten the IP address out. If the DHCP doesn't work out, right click the NetworkManager applet, go to Edit Connections, choose your network interface and set it to a manual IP in the 192.168.1.0/24 range with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the DNS server your routers IP. [07:31] and i'm getting 'cannot open display' ... so it's really a display/X issue ... === still is now known as Guest2604 [07:31] hmmm [07:31] cellofellow: I'm going... [07:31] I get that when it wants to play DVDs [07:31] PyChild: you select the interface, click Edit, and set the IPv4 settings. [07:31] so, i guess at is executing from somewhere higher up than the x process, so it has no clue about the whole window management thing [07:32] painted: i've had this problem for a long time, finally gave up on fixing it, but it seems to get better as the drivers improve [07:32] how do I reduce used up disk space [07:32] hey guys where can i get the apache2-ssl-certificate file from?

[08:53] Dulak: 64bit nvidia package is in the repos [08:54] hblount, it should ask whether you want to install grub or use another boot loader most people are very happy with grub [08:54] if i want the latest and best version of ubuntu, will installing with an older version (8.10) and updating be the same as downloading the full new version and using that? sorry if thats a dumb question [08:55] hblount: in theory, yes. In practice, not quite [08:55] well I'm just all kinds of ignorant today I guess. [08:55] hblount, it would possibly be just as quick to download-burn an install the latest one [08:55] hblount: for a fresh install, pretty much.

[10:47] lol [10:47] indus loads of updates [10:47] I don't really know, it could be the overall jaunty speed too. [10:48] aytekin, is your torrent program open? [10:48] ok [10:48] hi *.

[11:20] can we have a factoid to say "firefox is on the way. calm your boots. you aren't going to die without it" [11:20] ActionParsnip1: /home/zeth/.local/share/Trash [11:20] ActionParsnip1, that would e fun [11:20] zetheroo1: thats your trash, not roots [11:20] mickster04: its being laboured todeath and its really boring [11:21] ActionParsnip1: Yes, I know that :) ... but I am looking for the root trash ... [11:21] ActionParsnip1: you seem to be knowledgeable about stuff - you wouldn't happen to know? [11:21] Myrtti: keep going ? [11:21] ActionParsnip1: very frustrating to find its just gone!!! [11:21] luckysquid: have you checked in /var/log [11:21] ActionParsnip1: yeah.. but no luck :/ [11:21] indus: drop it and move to support questions/answers. [11:21] zetheroo1: did you try the search? [11:22] ActionParsnip1: checked the openssl.cnf for a reference to where it could be, but there is none. [11:22] ActionParsnip1: the search you just had me do? .. yes [11:22] Myrtti: where are the questions [11:22] mickster04: whats even funnier its when its out we'll have to deal with users crying "addon x doesn't work" [11:22] Myrtti: not many i see [11:22] indus: doesn't mean the channel can be used for offtopic [11:22] ActionParsnip1, oh wow, yeah....that'll suck... [11:22] zetheroo1: thats all i can suggest. I don't use root (and neither should you) so I have no idea [11:22] Myrtti: ok understood === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [11:23] anyone not being attended to? [11:23] mickster04: its the price to pay for the latest and "greatest" [11:23] ActionParsnip1: why shouldn't I? hehe ... I mean sometimes you have to ... [11:23] is there a special way to edit the %gconf.xml files? [11:23] ActionParsnip1: what is this acid test thing [11:23] zetheroo1: ive never used root since i started with ubuntu [11:23] !offtopic | reminder for everyone [11:23] ff still lags behind i hear [11:23] reminder for everyone: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:23] everytime i edit the %gconf.xml for gnome-terminal it returns back to what it was before [11:23] ActionParsnip1: ok [11:23] ActionParsnip1, yeah always, they aren't bad for updating stuff tho [11:24] indus: its a test of your browser against an agreed standard of web browser capabilitys, basically browsers using webkits will adhere to this standard and get 100%, firefox does not get 100% but its getting better [11:24] severity are you sudo editing it? [11:24] yes [11:24] ActionParsnip1: opera scores 100 % i hear [11:24] zetheroo1: just use sudo and gksudo and you are fine, sudo -i will start an interactive sudo with is similar to sudo su but the settings will be your users [11:24] Severity1, hmm, what else have you tried [11:24] im using konsole right now since my gnome-terminal wont open because i accidentally put some garbage on my default profile [11:25] indus: i believe so yes, opera rocks hard imho :) [11:25] i tried deleting the xml file but it returns again [11:25] Severity1: editing the config file by hand isn't such a good idea. Have you tried gconf-editor? [11:25] ActionParsnip1: i installed it but i cant get it to look like my system theme, it has this ugly grey blue theme [11:25] cheers Myrtti [11:25] ActionParsnip1, it isn't really "rocking hard" when you just implement the stuff required for passing acid3 ;P [11:25] I have /tmp mounted as tmpfs on my long-running LAN server. df says that 115MB are taken, while find, du, baobab and just about every other tool can only find 14MB of that http://paste.debian.net/40730/ Where are the remaining 100MB? I need to make a bit of room. [11:25] indus: get it skinned then :) [11:26] indus: Sorry mate, its working, just had to scroll one line down! :) [11:26] ActionParsnip1: i heard that with some new gtk qt curve, a qt app will look like gtk [11:26] DASPRiD: ive used it for ages, never had an issue. I dont use it because it passes acid test. i use it because i find it works better than firefox [11:26] bluepencil: heh ok lols [11:26] ActionParsnip1, personal preferations ;) [11:26] indus: its fully skinnable, find one you like [11:27] zetheroo1: if you deleted it with a root nautilus window it will appear in ~/.local/share/Trash [11:27] DASPRiD: indeed. I think people rate firefox as great but can't really qualify it except cool addons [11:27] zetheroo1: err /root/.local/share/Trash [11:27] ActionParsnip1: the problem is, i have tweaked my human theme and changed the colours to a nice dull cream , so hmm wonderng if thats possible [11:27] ActionParsnip1, hm?

[12:59] indus, nah we just go off-topic far too easy [12:59] Mickster: A wireless internet card [12:59] smash, have you checked that it needs it? jaunty is pretty supportive [12:59] indus: the problem is this is support channel and that particular topic isn't related to ubuntu support with anything but a loose thin thread. [12:59] mickster04, nothing happened [12:59] smashbox, , have you checked that it needs it? jaunty is pretty supportive [12:59] Myrtti: ok understood. sorry [13:00] yossarian, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf have a look in there too [13:00] Mick, Yeah it does, the jaunty drivers didn't work for it. It's a pretty old card === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam [13:00] gksu is enough no? [13:00] indus ya [13:00] what exactly am i looking for here? [13:00] indus i copy pasted [13:00] Does anyway know howto fix RAID1 on asus p5q pro with ubuntu ? it doesnt see RAID 1 but apart drives [13:01] yossarian, look for section monitor, see if there is a frequency in there [13:01] whilst i look for the right tags [13:01] mickster04, nodda [13:02] Mick; Anyway you know of to get rid of ndiswrapper without being root? === wapko_ is now known as wapko [13:02] ModelName "SUN GDM-5410" [13:02] HorizSync 30.0 - 121.0 [13:02] VertRefresh 48.0 - 160.0 [13:02] nothing else [13:02] yossarian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:02] smashbox, no idea, sudo apt-get remove? [13:02] yossarian, give me a sec [13:02] mick: sudo=root =no responce frm terminal === Volt is now known as Solitary_Scar [13:03] i hope i dont get banned from here [13:04] lol [13:04] could someone please tell me about the new xorg.conf file and all that automatically generated stuff since hardy [13:04] indus: if you don't troll and be quiet or helpful, then you will be fine [13:04] xorg.conf being auto generated on startup [13:04] indus: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:05] indus, no its not, it actually doesn't use rely on xorg.conf anymore [13:05] indus: say no to framebuffer and restart x [13:05] smashbox, press tab after the start of a nick it will autofill if using xchat? [13:05] indus, since the release of xorg 1.5 that is all handled by the HAL daemon on the fly [13:05] hello ,how to install super grub? [13:05] Titan8990_: it can and will if you populate it [13:05] how do i modify gnome screensavers? [13:05] ActionParsnip1, yes but it doesn't rely on it, with xorg 1.5+ you can run xserver without a xorg.conf completely [13:05] anyone know how to set a refresh rate in xorg.conf [13:05] ActionParsnip1: Titan8990_:that command gave a lot of options before,but now seems really useless [13:05] ActionParsnip1, that does more on configuring the keyboard and mouse then anyting else except the framebuffer [13:06] !en [13:06] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [13:06] indus, what ActionParsnip1 gave was simply a TUI for generating a xorg.conf [13:06] Titan8990_: true but if its populated it will override th settings picked up bay any app / service [13:06] how can i install super grub? [13:06] indus, hald configuration is terrible, stick to xorg.conf that you are used to but just keep in mind that thats no longer required [13:07] Halitech: it doesnt have the graphics settings like it did pre-gutsy but will set the video to failsafes [13:07] Titan8990_: i remember the command used to configure monitors , etc refresh rates but now seems to end at select keyboard and mouse [13:07] gggg: i dont think u need to install it ... just burn the .iso to CD [13:07] ActionParsnip1, yes but many of us come from a time/distro that did not include HAL support in xserver so if it wasn't in your xorg.conf, it didn't work [13:07] indus, you really shouldn't need to edit resolutions or refresh rates anymore but feel free [13:08] abu xD [13:08] n0gear, where would i get it ,? [13:08] Titan8990_: well i never did but just curious how things have changed [13:08] n0gear, what's the size of that super grub.iso? [13:08] ActionParsnip1, but most people are in failsafe which sucks due to something not communicating back info and makes it hard to manually configure xorg to get it to work [13:08] Titan8990_: true [13:08] Titan8990_: but i also remember a screens and graphics option in hardy which seems to have been removed again from jaunty [13:08] yossarian, im out of idea's sorry [13:08] Halitech: then read you xorg log in /var/log and see whats going on [13:09] oh damn :( [13:09] yossarian, just a question, why do u need it that high anyway? [13:09] hi, is there i way i can get directory listing of a website [13:09] it's a huge monitor and i got used to it on 85 [13:09] Halitech: run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [13:09] on command line [13:09] mickster04, do you know how to add modes manually to xconf? [13:09] like the ls command , except for a webpage [13:09] yossarian, http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html [13:10] hello everyone [13:10] gggg: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_0.9797.iso [13:11] http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Audio_setup: "Choppy sound with Ekiga; From ALSA version 1.0.9, DMIX is enabled by default for soundcards that do not support several channels at the same time. The default configuration of DMIX in ALSA does not necessarily provide good results by default for VoIP applications." Can you point me to a sound file in the Internet with a typical "choppy" sound? [13:11] hi [13:11] uhm ok [13:11] ActionParsnip1, mine is working fine [13:12] i am interested in modding a screensaver for a custom distro. how can I mod xflame? [13:12] mickster04, i have several sections with monitor and screen [13:12] Halitech: then advise whomever === jay is now known as Guest70392 [13:12] n0gear, man it's only 4.4 mb,why would i waste space for 4.4 mb in a blank cd? [13:12] yossarian, the site will help you with all aspects of xorg.conf, thats all i can suggest, as i dont know any further [13:12] n0gear, any option to save space? [13:12] zombie-robot__: you can chnage the settings in the screensaver settings, if you want to change the code you will need the source deb of the package that provides that [13:12] mickster: Is it possible that because it is ver 1.53 rather than 1.55 that this could be happening? Ndiskwrapper that is [13:13] ok thanks :) [13:13] ActionParsnip1: could you give me that script for gpg keys and instructions on how to run it [13:13] thanks [13:13] gggg: cost of 1 CD? .001 pennies [13:13] indus: sure [13:13] ill save it for other users and add a note of credit to you [13:13] indus: http://pastebin.com/f39b20cec [13:14] smashbox, you should try to use the most up to date version of most things, once theyre a realesed, i have eard of ndis* problems being solved with an update [13:14] indus: simply scriptname EFAC330A for example [13:14] smashbox, try to use my full nick else it doesnt highlight for me :D [13:14] indus: just throw the last 8 characters of the output at the script, job doe [13:14] n0gear, ok,but the size of wastage =750-4.4 =745.6 MB [13:14] mickster04: You got it, thank you for your help [13:14] I wonder where to get nvidia drivers for 2.6.30? [13:15] indus: the top lump just makes sure you didnt just run the script without giving it any input [13:15] ActionParsnip1: aah i remember now thanks [13:15] !nvidia > yacc [13:15] yacc, please see my private message [13:15] let me try it :) [13:15] indus: handy script :) [13:15] smashbox, excellent:D === tyler is now known as tdawg1 [13:16] jrib, well, the driver works well in 2.6.27-14, but DKMS or whatever comes up empty when booting 2.6.30, ... [13:16] yacc: is 2.6.30 from the repositories? [13:16] ActionParsnip1: i saved it to desktop as a text file, so how do i run it [13:16] jrib, ppa [13:16] :/ [13:16] gggg: there was a option to make USB version as well if u dont want to waste CDs [13:16] jrib, 2.6.28 is defective for my laptop. [13:16] indus: chmod +x the file [13:16] hay...i have oss as my sound and when im listening to music...another program sound stops the music and then i cant hear the music again till i restart the computer...in sound settings it says the device is busy...is there a simple command to restart oss without restarting computer? === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [13:17] jrib, 2.6.30 seems not to kill my laptop, but without graphics and wlan, it's a low fun proposition. [13:17] ActionParsnip1: just works! [13:17] ActionParsnip1: please supply key [13:17] indus: then when you get one of those pesky GPG errors simply go to the directory containing the script and type: [13:17] hi how do i reset the ubuntu repositiries? [13:17] ActionParsnip1: scriptname and those keys yes i got it thanks [13:17] n0gear, yea that's the key,unetbootin?? [13:17] indus: ive not got one to add, you will get a need for it if you add a new repo to your system [13:18] i cannot install anything [13:18] papul: system -> administration -> software sources [13:18] ActionParsnip1: can we integrate this script into synaptic itself i wonder [13:18] jrib: then? === Polarina1 is now known as Polarina [13:18] papul: then remove your custom ones === bloupotlood is now known as mcfarlane [13:19] indus: if you rename it so it doesn't have a file extension and sudo cp it to /usr/bin then it will be globally available, make sure it doesnt conflict with the name of an file already in there [13:19] jrib, beside the wiki page you directed me is slightly out of date, Intrepid and Jaunty seem to default to nvidia (OTOH, I've been fed up with the nvidia driver often enough that I more than once switched to nv). [13:19] indus: if you can integrate it, be my guest [13:19] yacc: what do you mean "default to nvidia"? [13:19] any know issues with the I386 8.04 iso at the moment? Downloaded it 3 times in the last 24hrs from 3 different mirror, and all 3 I get an error on a restricted linux package... [13:19] ActionParsnip1: but saving it to home anyway makes it globally available no? [13:20] jrib, I don't remember to have needed to manually enable nvidia on Jaunty, .. [13:20] ActionParsnip1: i mean i just type scriptname and tab and it auto completes [13:20] indus: no as that is not in your $PATH [13:20] yacc: it let's you do that automatically but it isn't the default [13:20] jrib, but as I said, perhaps my memories are imperfect ;) [13:20] Crash_99, did use the check disk util [13:20] jrib, well, it does not for the new kernel, ... [13:20] !kernel > yacc [13:20] yacc, please see my private message [13:20] Crash_99: try the alternate install download [13:20] yacc: i'd read about custom kernels. I have no idea what kernel you are using [13:21] indus: no, you must type the name of the script as you named it. Mine is called 'getkey' yours can be called 'submarine_toaster' it doesnt matter [13:21] yup, on all 3 disks and it gives me the same error. [13:21] jrib, the Ubuntu one, and I want to upgrade to the Ubuntu PPA provided one. [13:21] indus: provided you run the script with the key it will work [13:21] ActionParsnip1: lol [13:21] ActionParsnip1: can you explain a bit about globaly available [13:21] indus: if you called it 'scriptname' i would suggest naming it something more appropriate [13:21] mickster04 - Yup, on all 3 disks with the same error poping up. [13:21] jrib, as the current Jaunty kernel (2.6.28) is incapable of running much longer than 60 seconds on my laptop ;) [13:21] yacc: I thought you said you were already using one from a ppa? What ppa is this? [13:21] so what is the error [13:21] ActionParsnip1: no dont worry i called it gpgscript [13:21] indus: if you type firefox in a terminal, it runs doesnt it? [13:21] Crash_99, so what is the error [13:22] jrib, I'm using 2.6.27-14-generic, and wlan + nvidia work. [13:22] indus, I think what you want is to make a dir: ~/scripts and then add it your $PATH [13:22] indus: thats because the binary file named firefox is in your $PATH [13:22] mickster04 - gonna try to get it again... [13:22] ActionParsnip1: aargh i got it [13:22] indus: if you type echo $PATH [13:22] Crash_99, ok, i presume you've googled it [13:22] yes /usr/bin /usr/sbin etc [13:22] indus: you will see a whole load of other folders that are universally available [13:22] jrib, I'd like to install the 2.6.30 from the ppa, skipping 2.6.28 (which is bad for my hardware), but while 2.6.30 seems to be stable thermically, it is missing nvidia/wlan. [13:22] yacc: what ppa [13:23] ActionParsnip1: and we can also add ~home to this path [13:23] indus: yes, so you can either add the location of the file to $PATH, or you can move the script into one of those foilders [13:23] jrib, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/ [13:23] I have installed ubuntu 9.04, by default it has only 2 workplaces, how to add more workplaces like fedora? [13:23] indus: you can add ANY folder to $PATH [13:23] hackoo, right-cick? [13:23] hackoo, right-cick?>prefernces [13:23] hackoo: right click on it and select 4 [13:24] hackoo, right-click?>preferences* [13:24] #ubuntu-it [13:24] hackoo: you can also rename the workspace name to whatever u like [13:24] indus: if the script you made is in the paths then you can call your script without having to specify the absolute path to it, just like you dont have to type /usr/bin/firefox to launch firefox [13:24] jrib, no "custom" kernel at all. [13:24] ok doing that [13:24] ActionParsnip1: yes i got it [13:25] is it safe to run jaunty with ext4? [13:26] christophsturm, long debated [13:26] as long as its not a production server [13:26] christophsturm: its a vague question but ext4 is not official in jaunty and will only be in ubuntu 10.04 [13:26] christophsturm, i am using it :D fine so far [13:26] I have a question; I am currently connected to my irssi on my server; screen is showing 5 available updates, but sudo apt-get upgrade is not grabbing them?

[13:29] lincid, sudo aptitude full-upgrade OR sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:29] lincid: the command is sudo apt-get update [13:30] indus, no its not [13:30] !vpn | bring-back-mibbi [13:30] bring-back-mibbi: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [13:30] I'm setting up a server for my home office, and i have 4 tb disks in it with a mdadm raid. and I want to use ext4 for performance reasons [13:30] Titan8990_: I'm using 9.04, I'm just talking 5 packages showing for updates. [13:30] Titan8990_: well ok [13:30] indus: That just updates the sources.list, not what I'm needing. ;) [13:30] christophsturm, i think it might be safer to wait [13:30] lincid, I know what you are talking about, I gave the commands to use [13:30] lst* [13:30] I get this error when running make: make[1]: Entering directory `/download/kazehakase-0.5.6/po' [13:30] file=`echo cs | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \ [13:30] && rm -f $file && -o $file cs.po [13:30] /bin/sh: -o: not found [13:30] lincid, apt-get upgrade IMPLIES safe-upgrade [13:30] kbp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I would like to transfur some files over. what are the commands? [13:31] lincid: ok. I'll bite.. screen doesn't show updates perse. you have to sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:31] yacc: if I were in your shoes I would just build the kernel myself including -restricted using the information ubottu provided. But if you wish you can just build -restricted and use that ppa for the kernel [13:31] Crash_99, have you tried locating the .deb file on the internet? [13:31] n0gear:also try kmoney in kde , [13:31] I'm running my workstation with karmic and ext4 for some time without problems now [13:31] but for the server I'd rather use jaunty [13:31] !sshfs | JoshuaP0x [13:31] JoshuaP0x: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [13:32] mickster04 - nope, never tought of that. [13:32] JoshuaP0x: you need winscp [13:32] christophsturm, with 4tb of data play it safe? [13:32] ActionParsnip1: thanks. [13:32] Titan8990_: why do a dist-upgrade [13:32] Hi all, I upgraded jaunty and I think the intel driver was updated, on restart I get something about invalid LVDS modes and can only run in safe graphics modes [13:33] scunizi: dist-upgrade implies upgrade [13:33] mickster04: but i still would like to use ext4, because the other option is to convert 4 tb to ext4 later without backuping them [13:33] scunizi: Alright, that seems to be all and well. My question now, is on screen what is the "5!" in the red block? ;) [13:33] scunizi: I was under the impression that was available updates? [13:33] ActionParsnip1: really, i need a ftp server even if i'm SSH'ed into the box already from the box i want to Tx to? [13:33] ActionParsnip1: but not to the next version release of ubuntu [13:33] christophsturm: youdont really get the benefits of ext4 if its convrted from ext3 [13:33] JoshuaP0x: should be fine [13:34] indus, dist-upgrade doesn't mean that it upgrades to a new version, however it is used as such in debian [13:34] ActionParsnip1: good to know [13:34] scunizi: no you need the update-manager for that [13:34] christophsturm, why doesnt that happen now? i dont iunderstand? [13:34] Titan8990_: ok now thats something new i hear, are you sure of this [13:34] lincid: my version of screen doesn't have a theme and is fairly "invisible". do you mean on irssi? [13:34] mickster04: I'm setting up the raid right now, and i still have the data on other disks [13:34] indus, man apt-get [13:35] scunizi: I'm pretty sure it is screen, because I don't see this information via just plain irssi. It has the load info as well, etc. [13:35] christophsturm, oh, cant you keep the ol disks anyway> [13:35] scunizi: To be honest, the last time I was on linux, screen didn't have these "tabs", so I'm still getting used to it. [13:35] indus: dist-upgrade also pulls in new kernels and other such stuff that isnt always needed [13:35] org [13:36] lincid: can you do a screen shot and pastebin it someplace? [13:36] indus: if you stick to upgrade you'll be fine [13:36] scunizi: Indeed. Just a sec please ;) [13:36] lincid: tabs? now you've really mystified me [13:36] is there a way to connect to network-manager networks without logging in to X? === hello is now known as Guest45917 [13:36] scunizi: The ss will explain a bit. ;) [13:36] mickster04: i want to put the disks into the raid too and grow the raid onto them :) [13:36] mickster04: has the ff 3.5 update arrived yet [13:36] christophsturm, o i c [13:37] indus iunno :P [13:37] Le-Chuck_ITA: network manager is an x app so I'd say no, you can use /etc/network/interfaces if you wish to use non-x. it will override anything network manager trys to setup [13:37] mickster04: do that !ff3.5 redirect to me now :P [13:37] !ff3.5 > indus [13:37] !ff-3.5 [13:37] indus, please see my private message [13:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about ff-3.5 [13:37] lol [13:37] ActionParsnip1: wifi can't be turned on from command line, iwconfig just does nothing [13:37] !ff3.5 > indus [13:37] !ff35 [13:37] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [13:38] ActionParsnip1: but as n-m can connect there should be a way [13:38] Le-Chuck_ITA: set it up in the interfaces file and then run /etc/init.d/networking restart [13:38] ActionParsnip1: mickster04:also, are you guys using it already from some PPA and what are the noticeable improvements [13:38] Le-Chuck_ITA, there is nothing wrong with iwconfig, you are likely not using it properly, but that not what action told you to do [13:38] indus: i dont use firefox [13:38] damn [13:38] indus: i think its overrated [13:38] opera ftw [13:38] indus im using it on windows an its faster, a bit shineyer [13:38] ActionParsnip1: which one you use [13:38] Titan8990_: HI5! [13:39] indus: opera [13:39] indus i dunno what else, not really played much [13:39] yeah opera is getting overrated these days :P [13:39] its all personal choice [13:39] Titan8990_: I used iwconfig when I was younger, I do "iwconfig wlan0 essid v2" where v2 is a non-protected network, and it does not associate. I do "iwconfig ap ADDRESS_OF_AP" and it does not associate again [13:39] ActionParsnip1: can I set the wireless ESSID in interfaces? [13:39] ActionParsnip1: but i find the way it loads pages a liitle strange/ not used to [13:39] Le-Chuck_ITA: indeed [13:40] Le-Chuck_ITA: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12045 [13:40] indus: who cares how they are loaded as long as they view fine? [13:40] Le-Chuck_ITA, iwlist wlan0 scan; iwconfig essid 'ESSID'; dhclient wlan0 [13:40] ActionParsnip1: man interfaces, man wireless [13:40] Le-Chuck_ITA: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces [13:41] Titan8990_: yes, after the second step the status reported by iwconfig is "unassociated" [13:41] scunizi: http://i40.tinypic.com/1z1fbj9.jpg [13:41] ActionParsnip1: I know the rest, thanks a lot [13:41] Le-Chuck_ITA: np bro [13:41] oh Jesus Christ on a rubber crutch i did it!

[14:08] Krishna, you can't resize a mounted partition so you will need to use the live cd [14:09] Krishna: well opensuse will need some space, so you will have to free up some room for it. [14:09] PastaMan: sure. Sorry about the troll thing.

See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [14:35] gangil: I sometimes write really really crappy programs to perform a task because it is faster for me to code the task than do it by hand. Sometimes when running VirtualBox I need to give it a good chunk of the RAM. Etc. [14:35] member:identifier:destieee Yes, but I ****** up adobe flash dependencies .. [14:35] I think even 2 GB is enough for me! [14:36] i'm stuck @ configure with configure: error: Your compiler does not follow the C++ specification for temporary object destruction order. [14:36] Hi, I have a problem with twinview (1440x900 on my main screen and 1900x1200 on the secondary screen), It seems to work but I can't move my cursor out of the 1440x900 box :/ [14:36] gangil: thee_ http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2008/07/21/3092070.aspx [14:36] anyone know the keybind to close a window in awesome? [14:36] gangil, try to open a 300mb excel file (yes they exist) on 2gb RAM ! [14:37] anyone know how to check the version of a package from repository without apt-get install it? [14:37] hi [14:37] SandGorgon, what is this "excel" you talk about? [14:37] Attempting to boot LiveCD hangs on the splash screen so i installed using the alternate CD. It seems to hang at the same spot, with the following output [14:37] How do I completely purge any and all avahi packages/dependencies, without ripping out 1/3 of my installed system? [14:37] Juppp: MS excel!! [14:37] SandGorgon ... or a 500-1000mb Gimp-file.. ;) [14:38] gangil, i know :) j/k [14:38] "unable to execute '/sbin/getty/' for tty1 no such file or directory" [14:38] who has, ar5b91 atheros driver ? or ath9k driver? [14:38] Deathstar87, madwifi does [14:38] Guys whats best proxy scanner? [14:38] ubuntu doesnt detects my iCH10 intel RAID 1 [14:38] so baddddddd [14:39] for Linux or Ubuntu [14:39] SandGorgon: What happens if I do that , it wont open , or take long? [14:39] for ubuntu [14:39] on opensuse freebsd pcbsd works perfectly === iqkyu5566 is now known as kambvna_delgado [14:39] just noob q: will be firefox in hardy repos or not? [14:39] i mean firefox 3.5 of course [14:39] starenka: yes i think [14:39] !ff35 [14:39] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [14:39] hey all [14:40] I am lovin it!:) [14:40] gangil, ur disk starts swapping badly since ur other programs (including firefox) take up a lot of memory as well [14:40] "For example, the 32-bit version of Windows Server 2008 Standard supports only 4GB, while the 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Datacenter supports 64GB." [14:40] hey is it possible to install a distro directly from the desktop instead of burning it into a cd or a usb stick??? [14:40] gangil: if i had £1 for everytime !ff35 got typed in an average day at the moment.... [14:40] I installed firefox-3.5, but i cannot run it from the applications menu. I have to run it from terminal. then when I run it, it says that the name of the program is Shiretoko. Does anyone know what this is? [14:41] gangil: asking for hardy, [14:41] logic: wubi installer does what you require. [14:41] gangil: NOT hardy++ whatever [14:41] tel0s: isn't wubi installer the program for win? does it work in ubuntu too?? [14:41] unr3a1: the version of firefox-3.5 in the repositories currently is the *beta*, its codename is Shiretoko [14:41] oh ok [14:41] logic: im unsure. there may be a buntu equivalent. [14:42] Pici... any idea when it will be non-beta in the repositories, and I will be able to replace my firefox 3.0.11 install with 3.5? [14:42] tel0s: could you help me to look for it or for some alternative? [14:42] logic:what do you want to do exactly [14:42] logic: one moment. [14:42] SandGorgon: what do you do ? just like that [14:43] unr3a1: When testing is completed, and no. You will need to use the firefox-3.5 package, we arent replacing the ff-3.0 package with 3.5 [14:43] Halitech, maybe you can help me. I'm just trying to sync files once in awhile. But it's a lot. And when I tried Grsync it kept getting stuck on .lost+found [14:43] by the way firefox is deadly slow on ubuntu. i hope they will solve.. [14:43] indus: i'd like to install Fluxbuntu in my pc, and now i am running the normal ubuntu.. i would love to use a light WM.. so i prefer installing a pre-installed distro:) [14:43] Pici: what do you mean 'we' [14:43] Pici: from what i know, firefox 3.0.11 will become ff 3.5 [14:44] gangil, I have had to look on some financial data, which comes bundled in large excel files... I do open them on OO tho [14:44] Pici: in jaunty at least [14:44] logic: Fluxbuntu is just ubuntu with flux installed, just sudo apt-get install fluxbox and change your session at the login screen [14:44] whats the best game for ubuntu which doesnt concentrate on 3d......its just i cant get my graphics card to work [14:44] anyone have any idea on my boot issue? [14:44] indus: Where did you get that information? [14:44] Pici: well all day inside this channel [14:44] Pici: where are you getting your information? [14:44] SandGorgon: :) nice [14:44] !ff3.5 [14:44] hi all I have a lot op .psd (windows / photoshop) files I am wondering if there is a image viewer / file browser for Linux / Ubuntu which can view these files. [14:44] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [14:45] tel0s: what i'm looking for is not exactly fluxbox.... i'm looking for ubuntu with the fluxbox wm... and i'm not so good at geeky things.. so i prefer to be cautious and just install the preinstalled distro.. [14:45] Pici.. so FF 3.5 is going to remain a different package from FF 3.0.11? [14:45] indus: The ubuntu mozillateam [14:45] Pici: hmm thats funny, why do we need 2 diff firefox in jaunty? are we crazy ? [14:45] uhok, never really done anything with syncing files so no idea [14:46] indus: There are two different versions in Jaunty already [14:46] logic: im unsure what you're saying: you say you don't want fluxbox, you're looking for ubuntu with teh fluxbox wm, which is exactly what you'll get if you install it from the repos. [14:46] Pici: why are they doing it that way? Why not replace 3.0.11 with 3.5? [14:46] jaapvisser, GIMP should open psd files [14:46] tel0s: hang on a sec.. could we talk in pvt? [14:47] Pici: the packagers are crazy are they? all day in this channel, i was told it will become the official package in jaunty [14:47] baah nvm now [14:47] logic: user's on this channel aren't supposed to pvt.... [14:47] @Halitech I know but I only want to browse quickly through them. [14:47] jaapvisser, default image viewer or gthumb should be enough [14:47] jaapvisser, This isn't twitter [14:47] I am confused, why are they keeping 3.0.11 separate from 3.5? [14:47] is there anyone here who knows how to configure openswan? [14:47] unr3a1, different codebases [14:47] so , what only karmic users get the new ff as official release? [14:48] i dont have a write access on /dev/sda7. how to give a permission? [14:48] indus, No, just grab it from mozilla.org and install it in /opt/ [14:48] Does Rhythmbox support album-art for ipods? I backported to Amarok 1.4 but I'm fed up. [14:48] okey deany will look at gthumb. [14:48] ptrm, be root [14:48] jaapvisser, other then GIMP I haven;t heard any but deany thinks the default or gthumb will work [14:48] setuid: The firefox-3.5 package will be updated to be the final version in Jaunty [14:48] unr3a1: Not everybody will want to upgrade, some people may have a reason to stay on an older and in theory, more stable version [14:48] tnx.. [14:48] ptrm, you have to mount it [14:48] this is disappointing indeed [14:48] rudeboy_xix: it is mounted. [14:48] thats wierd [14:48] ptrm, what are you trying to do to /dev/sda7? [14:48] when 3.0 was released it replaced the old 2.x version [14:49] DJones: firefox is not stable at all with 3.0.... and 3.5 aims to fix most of those issues [14:49] then you have to be root [14:49] ptrm: You need to access the place to where it is mounted, not the device node [14:49] Juppp: i'm trying to change /boot/grub/menu.lst on /dev/sda7 [14:49] Pici: i was under the impression FF 3.1 is renamed to 3.5 (read taht from mozilla devs) [14:49] Gun_Smoke: where can I get that info for ubuntu , the blog you directed me to explains the *windows* way [14:50] yah, soreau is right [14:50] gtg bye [14:50] ptrm, try editing the file as root [14:50] i can see the files on file manager but cant write on it. [14:50] indus: From Ubuntu or from Mozilla? [14:50] Juppp: cant i do it as user? [14:51] my systems hard drive is failing... anyon know where i can get a newish IDE drive? [14:51] ptrm, try "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" from the terminal [14:51] ptrm, no you won't be able to do it as user. [14:51] !gksudo | Juppp [14:51] Juppp: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [14:51] Juppp: but it is on /dev/sda7. i'm on /dev/sda5 right now. [14:51] hi guys. When starting up the LiveCD for ubuntu 9.x, i select to try ubuntu, but then the screen freezes on "Loading, please wait.." while my keyboard lights flash. Is there a way to see any logs/startup messages to see whats going wrong? [14:51] ptrm, use terminal [14:51] gardar: newegg or tiger direct might be a good start. google.com is your friend [14:52] ptrm: Use the terminal and open the file with your favorite text editor with sudo. You will need to know to where /dev/sda7 is mounted though [14:52] wok: ctrl + alt + f1 [14:52] deany and halitech tested gthumb which is a nice file browser sad enhough my CS4 .psd files are not displayed >:( [14:52] Pici: This is probably what indus was referring to re the firefox name change https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2009/03/06/shiretoko-to-be-named-firefox-35/ [14:52] wok: should show you the messages [14:52] Why would both Ubuntu and Xubuntu drop me to a text prompt without any error message when I try to boot from the Desktop CD? I'm using a disc I just burned, the checksum was good on the ISO, the disc is verified. I'm trying to get Ubuntu or at least Xubuntu installed on an older generic PC for a friend. It's got 512 Mb RAM and a 1GHz AMD processor. [14:52] where can i get firefox 3.5 for ubuntu hardy [14:53] twig11: Which gpu? [14:53] where do i find my boot logs ? (ubuntu 810 64bit) [14:53] iceroot, trying now. im presuming that will work before the loader even starts? [14:53] twig11: what gfx card do oyu have? [14:53] soreau: I'm not sure. how do I find out? [14:53] wok: dont know [14:53] twig11: it seems your graphics settings weren't detected properly. [14:53] twig11: lspci|grep VGA [14:53] twig11: lspci [14:53] wok: try remove splash and quiet from the kernel boot line [14:53] soreau: if you use grep -i it makes it case insensitive ;) [14:54] ActionParsnip: And? [14:54] wok: that way you can see where its failing [14:54] ActionParsnip: grepping for VGA is completely sufficient for this application [14:54] Ok, will try that now [14:54] wok: also when booting try turning acpi off, that seems to be a boot stopper for me sometimes [14:55] soreau: is that command formatted exactly the way I should type it? [14:55] soreau: just letting you know as if you get users who type instead of copy / pasting then it wont find it [14:55] twig11: yes [14:55] how do i play mp3 in ubuntu [14:55] hi, i have a modem/faxmodem in a pci slot [14:55] ActionParsnip: Ahh.. shame for them :) [14:55] soreau: just a friendly point, tahts all [14:55] i have a problem with 64bit ubuntu 810, when i start my machine it starts to boot, displays boot logo, but unless i push random keys on the kb ubuntu hangs [14:55] how would i figure out what name it would be in /dev/? [14:55] soreau: indeed shame for them ;) [14:55] jaapvisser, weird, I thought they would of.. Try gwenview, its a kde app so will need extra packages installed [14:55] hey when i play any soundtrack the volume is very low [14:55] i need help [14:55] im trying to setup hylafax [14:56] ActionParsnip: I don't usually think in noob mode, so thanks for that reasoning [14:56] kabboo: launch your volume mixer and crank the sliders [14:56] booting my system with a fresh install is hanging [14:56] hmm, i dont see any errors when it freezes [14:56] h [14:56] Hello, can someone please tell me how to slow down my DVD-burner when watching movies. I have tried 'hdparm -E 2 /dev/sr0 and it says it sets the speed but nothing happens. === dren_ is now known as dren [14:56] soreau: its hard to noob mode sometimes, real frustrating but its needed :( [14:56] deany will see if gwenview will work >;0 [14:57] soreau: I just get "not found" [14:57] last message is Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input4, then freezes with keyboard lights flashing [14:57] any ideas? [14:57] twig11: When typing 'lspci' without quotes? [14:57] how do i install mp3 codec in ubuntu? [14:57] papul, you don't, don't use mp3s [14:58] gangil: have a look at google.. like bigmem 32bit etc... you'll find something.. better yet search google.com/linux [14:58] wok: try booting with another keyboard? [14:58] papna: Install ubuntu-restricted-modules iirc [14:58] !restricted | papul [14:58] papul: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [14:58] C-S-B, this is just a standard keyboard though :/ will see if i have a spare though.. [14:58] hi all [14:59] soreau: "ell-es-pee-see-eye?" [14:59] it wouldnt be the BIOS setting to set num-lock upon boot will it? [14:59] twig11: correct [14:59] jaapvisser, hangon [14:59] sure [14:59] jaapvisser, im trying something called libgdk-pixbuf2 [14:59] mickster04: supergrub didthe job :) [14:59] how do I properly uninstall deb packages downloaded from web or other sources ? [14:59] can someone help? [15:00] !ask | Dekko [15:00] Dekko: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:00] soreau: that's how I typed it. (It's on a different computer and I can't cut and paste) [15:00] !ask [15:00] h4f, use synaptic and search for the package [15:00] twig11: And it says command not found? If it's xubuntu you have to install it.. lemme see which package it's found in [15:00] how to activate ubuntu recovery screen /blue box/ [15:00] ? [15:01] twig11: apt-get install pciutils [15:01] h4f; they normally appear in synaptic (status - installed local or obsolete) [15:01] Juppp: ok thanks . how do I properly uninstall compiled from source package ? [15:01] soreau: I haven't installed anything yet. I'm trying to do the initial boot. [15:01] Has anyone upgraded to Firefox 3.5 on 8.10 yet? What's the best way to go about doing it? [15:01] h4f, "make uninstall" in the directory were you built the source [15:01] thanks Gun_Smoke I didnt know that part of google :) [15:02] Juppp, rudeboy_xix, soreau: Can't i edit it on filemanager as root? === carlos is now known as Guest54807 [15:02] ptrm: Yes, though I wouldn't recommend it [15:02] Juppp: ok. where should I install my packages. usually I drop everything on desktop [15:02] how to save ubuntu log when it`s starts? [15:03] h4f, deb packages? [15:03] okay semi-emergency here, i have to leave to base in less than 3 days, and i have a media storage drive hooked up to my ubuntu 9.04 system, being served through various means. the drive type is FAT32, but the file system keeps jumping to read only!!!!! re-formatting isnt an option as there are hundreds of gigs worth of stuff on there. if it helps, this only started after i installed gtkpod. please help me! its not often i come in here and [15:03] beg! [15:03] ubuntuUSR, /var/log/dmesg? [15:03] i want a good download manager for ubuntu [15:03] soreau: Please just tell me how ? [15:03] gh0stp, You can't have "hundreds of gigs" on FAT32 [15:03] Juppp: deb are installing automaticly. I am talking about compiled from source one [15:03] gh0stp, Just check the fs with fsck.vfat [15:03] MultiGet, seems the best file downloader in ubuntu at present [15:04] twig11: Well, you can install in text mode, but it's likely when you boot it you'll still have the same problem.. which is your graphics chipset driver is not working properly. So, I'd recommend using the vesa video driver which is the 'justworks' driver. You have to put Driver "vesa" in the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:04] Juppp: where is the standart place for them [15:04] ptrm: You still haven't revealed to where /dev/sda7 is mounted [15:04] setuid: what is fsck.vfat and how do i run it? [15:04] gh0stp, man fsck.vfat [15:04] h4f, "make install" will put them in the right place [15:04] setuid: is it current? i mean it can`t be old one? [15:04] soreau: is that something a novice can do with the right coaching? [15:05] : ) [15:05] Juppp: and then I can delete the folder from where I do make install ? [15:05] twig11: I guess.. yea [15:05] but I have to go to work here after while [15:05] soreau: that's me. [15:05] gh0stp: i'd run it from a live cd environment [15:05] gh0stp: its needed if you are checking your root fs [15:05] ActionParsnip, his rootfs can't be FAT32, so that's not the case [15:05] twig11: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf <-- run that after it's loaded to the live command prompt [15:05] gh0stp: if its a removable storage its fine in the booted system [15:05] h4f, yes but if you do then you won't be able to uninstall (I think) [15:06] setuid: given [15:06] hello. how do i add the logout session to the Alt+Ctrl+Del window? [15:06] Juppp: hm. looks a bit weird for me. [15:06] gh0stp: you'll need sudo fsck.vfat /dev/ gh0stp: sudo fdisk -l will show you the disk names [15:06] twig11: If you're using Jaunty, it will likely have a Device section, but no Driver line so you would add: Driver "vesa" [15:06] i think i saw it once on ubuntu site, but can't find it now... [15:06] jaapvisser, ok didnt work.. i`m trying krita. Cant you just convert them? [15:06] <_talon> hello, does somebody here know about sshfs? [15:07] soreau: sorry, can you put the whole command in quotes? [15:07] twig11: No, it's not that simple [15:07] <``Cube> when is ubuntu 8.10 going to adapt firefox 3.5?

BusyBox is where I get dropped when I'm trying to boot from the Desktop CD. I get the language menu, then the boot and install options, then the Xubuntu splash screen for about a minute, then the BusyBox command prompt. What should I be doing different? [15:16] twig11: Not using xubuntu? :P [15:16] * Dekko got eject -t -x 2 for slowing down DVD playback, but is there a way to make it "permanent"?

[15:17] soreau: it sticks on "unable to execute '/sbin/getty' for tty1 no such file or directory" [15:17] twig11: I don't understand why they don't have pciutils and sudo installed by default at the very least :/ [15:17] soreau: There's no linux installed on the system now, if that's what you're asking. [15:17] gangil: no problem..

[15:19] twig11: Well I don't know what's going on then, you might try #xubuntu to see why it doesn't have sudo installed by default. Otherwise, use ubuntu (which has pciutils and sudo installed by default) [15:19] Pici: :( . ok other question. Did you use new feature. It is related to update the kernel without reboot [15:19] SirFunk: shiretoko is the beta codename of Firefox. Please see the message from ubottu regarding the details. [15:19] SirFunk, it should not be firefox-3.5 .. it should be plain ole "firefox" .. that happens when the overlords decide [15:19] anomymous, might be able to keep your home folder (ifts on its own partition) tho to save setting the apps up [15:19] soreau: you understand I'm still at the BusyBox command prompt? [15:19] jpbaao_: What about the cpu? [15:19] twig11: I do now [15:19] h4f: I'm not sure I understand your question. [15:19] or maybe i`m wrong. ive never had 64bit in my life [15:20] soreau: I'll put the Ubuntu CD in now and we can start over if you want.

[15:24] I wouldn't be using a generic kernel that installs a million modules (eg ath5k) as well as loading proprietary ath5000 [15:24] LogicalGhost: kill it [15:24] How?

[15:25] soreau, how? [15:25] could someone help me install a vpn-service called Relakks on ubuntu?

[15:26] Halitech, not yet.. :P [15:26] lol [15:26] LogicalGhost: Try 'ps ax|grep ndis' to see it, then kill the process using the PID (process id) 'kill ' or 'killall ' [15:26] subzero2000: It was really really slow for me yesterday. I ended up trying a few times and eventually got it to respond :/ [15:27] unr3a1, I know its usually a windows fix but sometimes we still have to [15:27] soreau: So I should open up a terminal?

[15:27] can someone tell me how to figure out why "sudo chmod 777 -R /media/disk/" wouldnt work? [15:27] jpbaao_: Not sure what's going on then. Try a different OS for testing maybe? not really sure what's going on. Maybe ask in #linux [15:27] Pici: Yeah, slow is an understatement. Having the connection timeout is usually more a sign of down rather than slow, but it's nice to know I'm not alone here ... :) [15:27] soreau: thanks! i'll give it a shot.

I'm trying to install ubuntu for a friend on an old generic machine with 512 Mb RAM and a 1GHz processor with two hard drives, each with an illegal copy of XP Professional which has gotten pretty unstable. [15:29] Guest6060: do i just add the /dev/sdax to it? or like /dev/sdax /media/disk? [15:29] Pici: Thanks. Didn't know if there was a more appropriate room for Ubuntu issues like that or not. [15:29] can someone tell me how to figure out why "sudo chmod 777 -R /media/disk/" wouldnt work?

"sorry for my english" [15:31] gh0stp, sounds like an external usb drive, is it? if so, is it actually mounted there and not made another folder called media/disk1? === DoN is now known as Guest24052 [15:32] deany: checking now [15:32] <``Cube> joaopinto [15:32] this machine had a bit newer gtk maybe that's why...

[15:32] ``Cube, I am away [15:32] Morning all [15:32] deany: double checked mount point, have re-mounted it several times [15:32] <``Cube> joaopinto: so who just answered?

Possibly [15:33] gh0stp, should be able to read/write it automatically [15:33] gh0stp: i reckon the linux style file permissions are not applicable to fat32 systems [15:33] soreau: "Modem: Intel Corporation", but it's a really old comp so it might actually be a modem and not the wireless [15:33] gh0stp: but when automounted as usbdevice you have all write & read permissions, right? [15:33] deany that's funny eog does work with the gdk-pixbuf-psd .... that's great! [15:34] LogicalGhost: Is it a PCI card or what? [15:34] i can but many other utilities and programs cannot, IE: apache,the chmod command xD also intermitantly it will cahnge to a "read only file system" === darek is now known as Guest63656 [15:34] gh0stp, is it possible to format it again? sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/whatever and try remounting it.. if not, format to ext [15:35] jaapvisser, does with gthumb too [15:35] soreau: There's a PCI bridge . . . two entries like that, would that be it? ISA? IDE? SMBus? [15:35] Hey guys how do I configuer Grub to stop giving me an grub error 22 message? Or remove it completely please? I want to install windows 7 on a drive that previously had ubuntu. [15:35] hehe [15:35] I have win 7 BETA on the other drive. [15:35] jaapvisser, gthumb is more of a acdsee type viewer. [15:35] well not with my gthumb yet but it solved the problem.... [15:35] <``Cube> Starbucks: lol [15:35] LogicalGhost: In the lspci output it should be apparent which one it is [15:35] Starbucks, you'll need to repair the MBR with windows [15:35] How could I do that please? [15:35] formatting is out of the Question outright, it needs to be fat32 due to my PS3, and it has 500GB of 700mb movies on it [15:36] ``Cube: Why 'lol'? [15:36] <``Cube> Starbucks: why not? [15:36] any help with vpn? [15:36] gh0stp, ok. well there is no need to do chmod on it, because fat32 does not support linux permissions. you shouldnt need to do anything really. just plug it in and go [15:36] ive ran checks on it and repaired any errors, for now its just straight up permissions [15:36] Starbucks, boot from the windows cd and go into the recovery option and run fixmbr [15:36] soreau: You're assuming I have some idea about what I'm doing . . . [15:37] LogicalGhost: Yes, I do now [15:37] hmmmm. any idea why apache wouldnt be able to access it through a symlink then? [15:37] LogicalGhost: Sorry, misread. [15:37] it could access a symlink to my /home fine [15:37] Where do I find the recovery option? [15:37] LogicalGhost: No, I don't assume you know what you're doing, but installing a driver first requires you know which device you're trying to get working [15:37] It says command prompt but I've tried fixmbr and nothing worked. [15:37] I believe there is an error in ubuntu 9. I have a fresh install and realize that when I MOVE TO TRASH it is actually deleted and the trash bin shows nothing inside. Any ideas? [15:38] gh0stp: i don't think symlinks work on fat32 [15:38] <``Cube> Starbucks: tell me, why not? [15:38] Starbucks, when you boot the install it should give the option to recover [15:38] ``Cube: can you move on? [15:38] :( are you kidding me?! [15:38] Nope doesn't seem to...but I will try again. [15:38] <``Cube> Myrtti: yeah, im sorry. please answer that. [15:38] I just looked on the documentation site and it said if you need to install a driver to install ndisgtk, so I clicked on it, and it seemed pretty straightforward [15:38] gh0stp: you're better of doing apache on a native linux filesystem like ext3 [15:38] cube your fine to say lol obviously I just wondered what you were lolling about xD. [15:38] hi [15:38] Nice easy graphical interface [15:38] Starbucks, might also be repair [15:38] gh0stp: you'll run into file permissions troubles & symlink troubles like you're doing now [15:38] unable to mount [15:39] unclean shutdown [15:39] what if i symlink to a symlink created on my home FS? my local FS is EXT4, the storage drive is FAT32(it can't be anything else due to compat. issues) [15:39] I've just been googling also...I found something called super grub. Could this be useful? [15:39] Mint IRC channel? [15:40] !mintsupport | seevee [15:40] seevee: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [15:40] gh0stp: no idea, google for "symlink fat32" and "chmod fat32". [15:40] Starbucks, that will work as well (from what I've read) [15:40] !mount [15:40] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [15:40] I just don't know which version I should download. [15:40] LogicalGhost: ndiswrapper is a way to use wifi drivers designed for windows, in linux. It is possible that there is already a linux native driver for your hardware, and lspci should tell you what your hardware chipset is. If it's not listed there in lspci, it is likely not plugged in or some other physical hardware issue [15:40] oldude67: This does not help. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [15:41] soreau: Damn, okay. So with ndisgtk, should I just try to force a restart? [15:41] LogicalGhost: No, you should stop and decipher the output of 'lspci', and identifying your hardware then telling us what it is exactly [15:42] djiezes: interesting link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/how-do-i-chmod-fat32-635778/ sorry for the trouble, but could you "dumb this down" for me? lol [15:42] hey i have done an UML diagram in Umbrello, and i want to paste the diagram into openoffice for the purpose of documentation, which i am unable to do using copy paste...does anyone have any idea how i can get it..

[15:43] Much love for the netbook ReMix [15:43] soreau: if it's the ones that start with PCI I've got "PCI Bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller (rev 03)" and "PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82810 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 83)" [15:44] LogicalGhost: It will most likely start with 'Ethernet Controller' [15:44] gh0stp: that link says how to mount a fat32 partition at boot with all read/write/execute permissions. symlink still won't work. [15:45] djiezes: thanks for clarifying, ill look into a back-up reformat solution [15:45] soreau: "Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705 Gigabit Ethernet"?

See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [15:45] soreau: No [15:46] gh0stp: only solution i can think of with having to back up is resizing your fat32 partition and adding an ext3/ext4 partition for whatever it is you want to do with apache on there. [15:46] LogicalGhost: Ok, then that's probably it. sec [15:46] user1__: don't install outside of ubuntu official repositories, install chkrootkit [15:46] gh0stp: but resizing without backing up is a bad idea ... [15:46] and some security framework to make programs, users, more isolated? [15:47] LogicalGhost: Can you show the link where it's telling to use ndisgtk?

Do you have the windows .inf file? [15:49] xman, the computer is NEW, and it has dual boot with windows Vista... any idea on how to fix this problem? And WHY iis it SOMETIMES? [15:49] javb: New or not, doesn't matter.

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [15:57] gh0stp, well, remove the 2nd ext partition and resize 1st to full space.

[15:57] sometimes when i run more heavy applications, my computer becomes really slow for a biref period of time before resuming to normal. I think its the cpu getting overloaded or something like that. Between these moments the apps workds just fine, so my wuestion is if there is any way to control the frequency of the cpu? [15:57] ban that troll [15:57] hi.. how can i change the way when linux changes my cpu frequency? because on "ondemand", the load is up to 60% and it still doesn't rise the frequency [15:57] derenrich: the situation is being handled, thank you [15:57] Polarina, what is driving me crazy is that the error is SOMETIMES, if there is something broken. IT IS broken. but it acts like it want to get broken, but doesn't finally break! [15:57] gh0stp, nothing in life is certain (death taxes and morons excluded) [15:58] soreau: I killed one but it keeps saying "Operation not permitted" when I try to kill the others [15:58] lol [15:58] LogicalGhost: Use sudo [15:58] gh0stp, ive resized an ext partition a couple times fine [15:58] javb, might be a wire connecting the hard drive to the motherboard has a slightly broken connection and flexing a certain way might make or break the connection [15:58] deany, I agree with you on the morons ~L~ [15:59] deany: lol [15:59] deany: should the new ext part. be primary or extended?

[16:00] supersasho, might need to change a setting in the BIOS to have it kick in sooner [16:00] crossing fingers!!!!!!!!!!!!! [16:00] Halitech: ok, we'll see.. [16:00] there are netbook packages in the jaunty repos [16:00] javb, there is no wire to hdd in laptop usually. connector goes right to board [16:00] sometimes when i run more heavy applications, my computer becomes really slow for a biref period of time before resuming to normal.

[16:00] djiezes: thanks :) surely it is one of these! [16:00] djiezes, i'll do that. Booting with a live cd? and then doing the fsck? [16:00] gh0stp, i know its a pain but defrag the fat32 first [16:00] is it safe to install? [16:00] soreau: Okay I think I killed it [16:00] soreau: I have to go, thanks for your help [16:00] javb, if its new, be careful as you could void your warranty [16:00] deany: allready did :) [16:00] gh0stp, it will make resizing less painful [16:00] gh0stp, cool [16:00] gh0stp, since you all that space free it shouldnt be a problem [16:01] i want to upgrade firefox on ubuntu 9.04. when i go to synaptics package manager i see the latest version is only 3.0.10 but the latest one is 3.50 [16:01] how do i update to 3.50 [16:01] javb: yeah, i'm not sure about which arguments or so to use, read the man page or look for a howto online before rebooting with livecd [16:01] deany: just lighting up a smoke and hoping nervously! 7 seasons of mythbusters, all seasons of house etc [16:01] !ff35 > s27 [16:01] s27, please see my private message [16:01] !ff3.5 > s27 [16:01] elfinch: glad to help :) [16:01] gh0stp, ah. well they will all be on usenet for like, ever and ever if you lose em all :) === NiX9318Watertige is now known as shesek [16:02] i have another question, possible naive.. i'm trying to make a bootable back up of my machine using clonezilla. i'm going to put on an external hd , which is formatted to fat32.. is fat32 an ok choice? or should i reformat to ext3 or some such?

[16:02] elfinch, change it to ext if you really dont need fat tho [16:02] what does that mean [16:03] elfinch: I'd use ext3 or some other native file system [16:03] elfinch, fat32 has a 4gig file size limit [16:03] s27: did you read the message ubottu sent you? [16:03] i cant upgrade to firefox 3.50 on ubuntu 9.0.4 now [16:03] yes [16:03] s27: yes.

[16:03] s27: it will eventually be upgradeable [16:04] okay, ill wait [16:04] thank you guys [16:04] elfinch, something I forget about once ;) [16:04] elfinch, clonezilla doesnt need permissions fixing up and it defaults to 2gig file splits.. so you dont HAVE to format [16:04] one more question. is there a way to unselect all the packages in package manager?

[16:15] ubuntuUSR, sudo apt-get -f ?? [16:15] jml, you mean vs python 2.4/2.5? [16:15] elfinch, is it mounted? [16:15] Halitech: as i said apt-get can`t help me [16:15] Pici, only ksplice can cover all the upgrades? or i should be using both of them? [16:15] Halitech: think so, i can see it, and all 3 of it's partitions [16:16] ubuntuUSR, the -f should fix anything broken [16:16] lol i applied the unr gui to my jaunty install [16:16] elfinch, if its mounted you can't make changes [16:16] TD-Linux, I guess. I need python2.3 to test my changes to Twisted, which still supports python2.3 [16:16] looks fun but you hafya disable the effectsof jaunty [16:16] blackfate: Can you rephrase that?

[16:17] jml, hmm... what I would do is download the python 2.3 source package and configure it to install in its own directory with special suffix [16:17] or possibly just not install it at all... dunno if python can run without being installed [16:17] I don't believe repos have python 2.3 [16:17] Anyone here use Comix?

[16:27] * TwoToneSpirit has never seen so much attention on one topic in this channel as FF3.5 has received today. [16:28] coleys: it's not my machine, I am helping a friend, and I don't know what else depends on this user. but thanks [16:28] well, people expect their updates to be up to date i guess :) [16:29] Halitech because as i said before, the computer runs fine but sometimes the cpu just gores crazy for a while and then resumes to normal [16:29] Halitech: it`s not good idea, i`ve got backuped files already. i`ve installed and updated new-installed ubuntu.then i used old files to replace new /new files now are overwritten by old ones/ [16:29] Yeah, I still don't feel like I have a solid understanding of when (and under what circumstances) FF3.5 will replace 3011 in the repos. [16:29] kandinski: ahh, welll the easiest way to create a user with home directory and allowance for bash.. is this command: useradd -m -s /bin/bash username [16:29] what is the simplest way to send e-mail from terminal [16:29] mirzabaig: sendmail [16:30] TwoToneSpirit: as far as i understand it, it won't, it'll replace the firefox-3.5 beta4 package ... [16:30] mirzabaig: i.e. postfix [16:30] Is there a problem if a wireless card (BCM4315) shows up as eth1 instead of a wlan? [16:30] zicho, not sure what you mean by it goes crazy [16:30] djiezes: So people using 3011 will never be alerted to change to 3.5? [16:30] Hi [16:31] Halitech: now i`ve some problems with some kernel modules. i think is a bit hard to fix it but it should be possible to do that [16:31] TwoToneSpirit: that's what I figured, yes. 3.5 is a major update & wont replace 3.0.x afaik [16:31] bruenig: i dont want a mail server :( [16:31] djiezes: and for that matter, when will 3.5(final) replace the beta in the repo [16:31] Hi! Anyone here ever used "motion" with their webcams? [16:31] ubuntuUSR, should be able to but beyond my abilities [16:31] TwoToneSpirit: no idea at all.

[16:36] mirzabaig, use another mail server [16:36] only english? [16:36] zicho: there might be some options on your BIOS motherboard to change to a "smart cpu fan" mode or "cool 'n quiet" , depending on the mobo & cpu. [16:36] djiezes okay, i'll look [16:37] ubuntuUSR: and the best way around it is probably going to be to load up a live CD or something and check with that. You shouldn't fsck on mounted filesystems anyway. You're not trying to do that, right? Fastest solution would probably be to get a Puppy Linux disc, pop that in, and run fsck from there. [16:37] zicho: the sensors package (in ubuntu) should give you an idea about temperatures & rpm. [16:37] Quick q - when my net connection dies, firefox, and any other programs the use the net, stop responding. Which, in turn, leads to ubuntu crashing.

[17:06] A game called Planeshift. I installed it as root, then when I click on the icon in my applications menu it tells me Permission Denied [17:06] LinKDeaD: how exactly did you install it as root? [17:06] So I tried installing as a user and I dont have permission to create directories [17:06] LinKDeaD, try gksudo [17:06] The install file is in my home directory, so I did "sudo su" [17:06] Gave my password and got root [17:06] o.o [17:07] then used chmod +x PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [17:07] yeah and if you wanna run it, use sudo and.the.command.. [17:07] Then just did ./PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [17:07] LinKDeaD: unless the installer did it wrong, you sould be able to run the program as a non-root user [17:07] And the installer ran fine === Kurisuchan__ is now known as Kurisuchan [17:07] LinKDeaD: try sudo ./PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [17:07] Promille, if its a grapical app he should use gksudo, not sudo [17:07] Halitech: thats right [17:07] Its a graphical app [17:07] LinKDeaD: try to run it without sudo [17:08] is the installer graphical [17:08] please, how can I format a usb stick in linux? [17:08] synta10: he said something about non-root not being able to make folders. it probably writes to /opt [17:08] the installer - place it somewhere into your directory [17:08] it show only with lsusb [17:08] Yeah, it writes to /opt [17:08] Operations: tried gparted?

[17:09] paste has the full error output and such [17:09] the thing is that this usb had u3 capabilty but in ubuntu i've deleted the sys files [17:09] Promille: grep "whatnot" file.nfo [17:09] now in win it shows u3 partition but it doewsnt start [17:09] Thanks for the help, deany. I hope this fixes the problem [17:09] find is for finding files === TamCore is now known as TamCore[oFF] [17:10] Neo-Vortex: i wanna search in all nfo files in that folder [17:10] Promille: grep "whatnot" *.nfo [17:10] Hello volunteers. I was wondering if there are drivers out yet to support the older ATI cards, so I might upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04. Specifically I was wondering where on the web I would track such an event. Thanks for your time [17:10] Neo-Vortex: ah ok, i tried that only with 'spam' instead of "spam".. thanks [17:10] LargePrime, there isnt. I`m gutted im one of those left behind. [17:11] heeelp [17:11] Hey, so if I have the b4 version of firefox 3.5 do I just have to wait for the package maintainers to package up the final and get it in the repositories, or is it worth my time to go add other sources and get it from there? [17:11] Neo-Vortex: but whats the difference between find | grep and just grep then? [17:11] LargePrime, unless you can find someone that has it you won't find it on a site [17:11] deany: But you hold hopw there will be? [17:11] it is not appearing in gparted [17:11] Promille: grep will tell you what file it found it in effectively ;) [17:11] and is simpler ;) [17:11] LargePrime, no, they said, they are unsupported now. its the opensource "radeon" driver or nothing now [17:11] Imperfect: depends if you want run on the edge ;-) [17:11] Neo-Vortex: ah ok, thanks buddy [17:12] LargePrime, which might be ok for some, but unacceptable for anything other than compiz, for me. [17:12] hey all, i keep getting this error when updating: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/main/source/Sources.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch any ideas? [17:12] although if you want to say do it for every nfo file in the system, you have to use grep, although you could use find to only get the filenames then pass those as params to grep ;) [17:12] LargePrime, deany would version 8.42 do you any good? [17:12] grep "spam" `find ...` or the like ;) [17:12] how do i run ghex? [17:12] Ddorda: ghex2 iirc [17:12] thanks! [17:12] catalyst 9.3 is the last driver you can use for the "unsupported" cards, and that doesnt support the newer xorg in jaunty [17:12] Neo-Vortex: i see, thanks [17:12] Halitech: It was my information that these cards are now "open" and there is open source work being done to get one developed. deany [17:12] synta10: I can afford to wait, so long as eventually it'll happen eventually. [17:13] how do i uninstall flash player 10 that i got off the flashplayer website [17:13] LargePrime, I can play 3d games with the OSS driver, but not really fast enough [17:13] Neo-Vortex: but does that command search inside the nfo or just in the names that have i.e. "spam" ? [17:13] deany: that is my info too. I understood that now ATI had released the docs, so the open source community can develope drivers for these. Halitech [17:13] Imperfect: there is this repo: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa [17:14] !radeon | LargePrime [17:14] LargePrime: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:14] LargePrime, could be right, just happened to remember I still have a copy of 8.42 but haven't tried to use it [17:14] hey all, i keep getting this error when updating: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/main/source/Sources.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch any ideas? [17:14] Promille: `find ...` should in theory end up returning a list of filenames, then grep will search for "spam" in those files ;) [17:15] that page in the bots link needs updating :) 9600 indeed [17:15] LargePrime, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [17:15] its equiv of doing grep "spam" a.nfo b.nfo c.nfo etc [17:15] Halitech: How could I get that from you [17:15] deany: Its a wiki, feel free to update it. [17:15] any help on hoe to remove flashplayer 10 [17:15] deany: Reading now [17:15] I have installed ubuntu from an old 8.04 live cd, is there an easy way of getting it up to date to 9.whatever? [17:15] how* [17:15] Neo-Vortex: kk:) [17:15] i need help w/debian [17:15] commander_: Then ask in #debian [17:15] !upgrade | Kurisuchan [17:15] Kurisuchan: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [17:15] when a tested/patched version of firefox3.5 is available for jaunty, how can i upgrade my existing ff installation? will it update automatically? [17:16] Neo-Vortex: reason im asking im searching inside nfo files, and searching for a specific label, if you understand. but grep "spam" *.nfo didnt return anything so it must be something wrong [17:16] LargePrime, give me a second and I'll toss it on a server for you [17:16] lfk i thik its a seperate package [17:16] Promille: are the nfo files in the current directory? [17:16] Kurisuchan: Do "From 8.04 LTS to 8.10" then "From 8.10 to 9.04" [17:16] b3rz3rk3r: Have you tried a different server [17:16] good morning, anyone here has installed chillispot + freeradius? [17:17] Promille, there is a command to search inside text files, but i cant for the life of me remember it [17:17] no theres alot of subdir's in that directory [17:17] Halitech: Great. [17:17] mobi-sheep: thank you [17:17] is it possible to set different resolution for 2 monitors? [17:17] Promille: find -name "*.nfo" -exec grep "spam" {} + [17:17] u can upgrade 8.04lts to 9.04 with the altrnative cd [17:17] Neo-Vortex: no theres alot of subdirs in that directory [17:17] geirha: thanks :) [17:17] Thingymebob, i think that might be the problem actually, i move around a lot, many different countries, and to maintain decent download speeds wherever i am i change my server location too [17:17] then what geri said ;P - grep is easier to remember, but only works for current directory as i said ;P [17:18] LargePrime, just sent you the link in another window [17:18] C-S-B: ic.. so i guess ill have to install the firefox3.5 beta package and wait for an update then? [17:18] Promille, grep -i -n ‘filename’ * [17:18] Neo-Vortex: ah kk. thanks alot anyways :) [17:18] actualy [17:18] might work [17:18] Promille: If you're using bash, you can also do: grep "spam" **/*.nfo [17:18] lfk: yes if you cant wait, but I'd wait [17:18] deany: wait, isnt -n just line numbers? [17:18] I need to upgrade ubuntu but I really don't feel like waiting six weeks for the disc to arrive >< [17:18] C-S-B: wait until karmic? [17:18] damned dialup.. [17:18] geirha: lol, which one is easiest.. theres so many now:P [17:19] sorry missed out function [17:19] lfk: you can download from mozilla and run from a folder if you want [17:19] bsigil, if you get the live cd you can't upgrade from it, only do a fresh install [17:19] hey.. does anyone know how to install C/C++ features in NetBeans? [17:19] lfk: they are jaunty testing 3.5 [17:19] Halitech, well, that's what I'd do anyway. [17:19] lfk: theyll be a jaunty release of 3.5, eventually [17:19] C-S-B: oh.. nice. then i may as well just wait it out. [17:19] geirha: thanks that worked great :) but is there anyway that result come as it search? because its a big directory and it will take some time [17:19] Probably can't upgrade since I'm still running feisty. [17:19] Mikau: through plugins? [17:19] bsigil, ok, just wanted to point that out so you were aware [17:20] can be.. [17:20] C-S-B: thanks for the info :) [17:20] lfk: download the tarball from mozilla [17:20] i installed the java pack only.. [17:20] Halitech, yeah, I'd have to get the 'alternate installation' cd. I've looked into upgrading before. :) === mheath_ is now known as mheath [17:20] bsigil, no one around with highspeed that could grab you a copy? [17:20] C-S-B: yeah, i think i might do that just to play with it [17:20] and synaptic doesn't have the C/C++ features.. [17:20] Promille: You can add the -l option to grep, which will make it only output the filenames that have a match. Might be slightly faster [17:20] geirha: allright, thanks for all help [17:20] Mikau: so you've got version from Synaptic, right? [17:21] lfk: if you apt-get firefox-3.5 youll get a beta atm [17:21] nope.. [17:21] i typed sudo apt-get install netbeans [17:21] I dunno.

[17:30] I'm stuck trying to reolve some deps [17:30] synta10: but it leaves an installation folder in home [17:30] Mnemonic^: It might be aproblem with your hardware, so ask questions on ubuntu forums. Might be just an easy fix. [17:30] and i didn't want that.. [17:30] Okay, Thank You Very Much... [17:31] Titan8990_: But I have it both on 8.10, 9.04 and also on both build when trying with the LiveCD [17:31] Mnemonic^, possible incorrect xorg configuration [17:31] Mnemonic^: FYI, xserver-xorg-driver-ati is not the fglrx driver. xorg-driver-fglrx is. [17:31] Mnemonic^: I subscribed to the bug report [17:31] Am just testing whether my nick really shown as what i see [17:31] Mnemonic^: i dont know, but i see you allready got your answer [17:32] Panoramix: what irc-client your using? [17:32] Titan8990_: If Ubuntu configures my X wrong when using the build in Hardware Driver Activation .. That is a bug! [17:32] Jmirc [17:32] Titan8990_: Mnemonic^ is correct [17:32] I am using jmirc from mobile phone [17:33] * Flare183 is on the Bug Squad Team [17:33] Panoramix: allright. try irssi :) absolutely wonderfull [17:33] Mnemonic^: Bugs are not questions. =P You clearly asked a question, specific for yourself. [17:33] Panoramix: ok [17:33] synta10: hey... i'm leaving now, thanks for your help [17:33] Promille: is it for mobile or pc? [17:33] anyone use pptp vpn? [17:34] yep [17:34] coleys: I will try the ubuntuforums [17:34] Panoramix: Linux/Pc (Although pc irssi is crap) =p [17:34] Panoramix: i didnt see you were on cell.. nevermind :) your nicks says Panoramix [17:34] roffee: that was to you [17:34] Okay, thanks :) [17:34] coleys: yeah it is i'd rather just putty into a linux box if I am using another machine [17:34] coleys: irssi is crap :O ? [17:34] MoltenBobcat: ok, I can't get it to work.. it just says "there are no valid vpn secrets" [17:35] irssi rules! [17:35] Promille: Re-read what I said =p [17:35] yo?ing irssi is crap under windows [17:35] is there a better way to save all your tunnels and connect to them easily than using putty on linux? [17:35] pc != windows :P [17:35] hi all [17:35] roffe: i'm pretty sure that's a a bug [17:35] coleys: haha i didnt know you ment pc = windows [17:35] hello, i have problems with my xserver: i think he doesn't detect the monitor in the right way. so it is a hp d 2842a (i have only the choice to choose hp d2842); so i can only run the xserver with a resolution of 600x800 ... who can help me? [17:36] MoltenBobcat: Ok, you're not aware of a work-around? [17:36] C-S-B: You can just create bash aliases and use terhminal ssh to do it [17:36] whatever. =) [17:36] roffe: I haven't looked too much into it I mostly use ssh tunnels [17:36] MoltenBobcat: would you recommend that over putty? [17:37] rofl [17:37] i quite new to the whole ubuntu thing, i wonder if someone could help me with me partition plan [17:37] t36: whats the problem ? [17:37] t36: How much space are you giving ubuntu? [17:37] it's not really a problem, i have 100 gig of free space and i was wondering how to best partition it === denny_ is now known as denny [17:38] from what i understand i need a / partition and a /swap partition [17:38] t36: 15 gigs for /, 1gig for swap, rest /home [17:38] t36: well, the livecd from ubuntu has a great 'walkthrough' when installing [17:38] hey fellas - is there any program i can use to figure out what all the buttons on my shiny new logitech VX revolution mouse are called? [17:39] root is where all my programs are installed right [17:39] t36: Yeah. [17:39] t36: you dont have to patition / and /home seperately though, but it's useful when changing os [17:39] s1gmab3ta, typically mouse button 1-7 [17:39] because i'm trying to set these two buttons on it labeled "zoom" to control the compiz enhanced zoom plugin [17:39] and if i upgrade ubuntu, i won't lose anything on home right? [17:39] t36: correct. [17:39] Titan8990_: compiz lists 9 buttons [17:39] hi [17:39] great, that's what i needed to know [17:39] sebsebseb, hey.. wb [17:39] thanks guys for helping a newbie! [17:39] C-S-B: Yeah I would I didn't even know there was a linux putty command [17:39] hi, i have just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop.. i opened a terminal and typed "ping google.de" and it works.. now i do "apt-get install gnome-do" and he tells me "E: Couldn't find package gnome-do" .. the same with any other package [17:39] s1gmab3ta: Open a termina, run xev. press the mouse buttons in the little window that comes up and see what the output is in the terminal window. [17:39] what is going wrong? [17:40] csb: let me look for the line you need to use [17:40] b3rz3rk3r: ty I guess, but it was hours ago when I was here last [17:40] MoltenBobcat: yeah, its a great program. :) [17:40] bye all! [17:40] t36, I have my / as 28gig, 2gig for swap and the rest for /home [17:40] Pici: thanks that's just what i was looking for [17:40] pw-toxic: Did you apt-get update yet? [17:40] it was button 13 :) [17:40] sebsebseb, i know, i just see you on here all the time, so thought id say hi :p [17:40] pw-toxic "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install gnome-do" [17:40] Halitech: too late [17:41] hatter243, thanks [17:41] Hi, anyone here _really_ familiar with ALSA? trying to setup an Intel HDA (VT1708S) [17:41] picca, thanks [17:41] b3rz3rk3r: ok ty [17:41] after i preform chroot and type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx i can`t connect to the internet [17:41] Halitech: 2gigs is probably not needed for swap. =) [17:42] warren_: please register your own nickname [17:42] !ot [17:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:42] C-S-B: you can get something setup like this ssh -L localport:host:hostport user@ssh_server -N to do an individual port and I just create a bash alias [17:42] there is also a flag that lets you setup a proxy [17:42] warren: /msg nickserv ghost warren_ (will boot him) =P [17:42] ubuntuUSR, did you put all the proper networking files in the chroot environment? [17:42] coleys: I did, he came back === ScottG is now known as ScottG489 [17:43] warren: enable enforce on your account, if you need help, ask in #freenode [17:43] join #debian === ScottG489 is now known as ScottG [17:44] hatter243: don`t know. how to check it [17:44] MoltenBobcat: i understand that, and as a geek, i feel wrong saying it...but through the gui, its easier with no need to remember the cmd. [17:44] warren_: Please register your current nickname now. [17:44] ubuntuUSR, compare /etc/network with your chroot environment. e.g. /chroot/etc/network [17:44] mobi-sheep: please stop [17:45] hatter243, he shouldn't need that for chroot, just resolv.conf === warren is now known as warren_ [17:46] C-S-B: Yeah I create aliases for different locations and I use the program guake to pull up a little command prompt when I tap a hot key then I just type my one word alias and I watch it startup tehconnection [17:46] when I dont' need it anymore [17:46] coleys: If I should file a bug report in launchpad, what package should I commit it to? [17:46] i hit my hotkey again and ctrl-c it and it closes the tunnel [17:46] Titan8990_, Ah! That's what I was thinking of. ubuntuUSR: Just check /etc/resolv.conf vs /chroot/etc/resolv.conf [17:46] hatter243: compare all files are withi it or compare it`s content? [17:47] You can even run it inside a screen session to make it so that if you logout of your machine it will still keep the tunnel active === warren_ is now known as warren [17:47] ubuntuUSR, just the chroot's resolv.conf vs the normal resolv.conf [17:47] Mnemonic^: Your situation isn't a bug, otherwise a bunch of people would have same problem. [17:47] MoltenBobcat: nice setup [17:47] but in windows putty lets you save sessions doesn' tit [17:48] any idea when Firefox 3.5 will make it to the official repositories? The ones in unofficial repositories lack the plugin to apply the gnome font settings.. the font renders differently.. [17:48] I woudl think you could do the same thi9ng on the linux port [17:48] coleys: Lets ASSUME it is a bug.. What package would it be? [17:48] !ff35 [17:48] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty. If you *need* to install it, the firefox-3.5 *beta* package from the repositories will be updated when testing is complete. See also http://is.gd/1jkNY [17:48] hatter243: and resolve.conf location? [17:48] MoltenBobcat: i feel like an idiot, im travelling and have temp moved to oz, forgot to leave my wrt54g plugged in at home, which i was going to use as a shell for piping bbc programs to me... [17:48] how to customize notification area? [17:48] Mnemonic^: You tell me, you know what packages you have installed =P [17:48] ubuntuUSR, /etc/resolv.conf [17:48] stz184, have you tried right-click>preferences [17:49] yeah [17:49] what did u want to do stz184 ] [17:49] does anyone know of a way I can prioritise network traffic on a server running ubuntu-server? [17:49] on chroot account is empty [17:49] !server [17:49] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [17:49] ubuntuUSR, make chroot resolv.conf the same as the working resolv.conf [17:50] IRConan: /join #ubuntu-server [17:50] I can't boot into windows or ubuntu after I changed the partitions [17:50] IRConan: I dont' specifically know how to do taht but the correct terminology is QoS [17:50] coleys: already done [17:50] firewall03: what did you change? [17:50] !grub [17:50] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [17:50] IRConan, http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.fullnat.intro.html [17:51] IRConan, MUCH easier to control QOS at your networking device and not the server though [17:51] what does < do in the terminal? [17:51] C-S-B: I did a wubi install and I wanted to make it a permanent install [17:51] Titan8990_: problem is I don't have any access except my server... it's in a public datacentre === kb is now known as Guest98400 [17:51] IRConan, then you will have implement QoS similar to the link I posted [17:52] !redirect | tsrk_ [17:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about redirect [17:52] how can I remove a package only, and not the packages that depend on it? [17:52] tsrk_, ask #bash that question [17:52] michaelb, apt-get remove [17:52] hatter243, ok [17:52] firewall03: ok, i would use a cd and reinstall, just make sure not to install over your ntfs win partition [17:52] is testdisk/photorec supposed to freeze after the "select media" screen? [17:52] Titan8990_: that removes packages that depend on it [17:52] michaelb, only aptitude remove will remove depends [17:52] i don't have a gui [17:52] firewall03: grub should pick up your win install and place an entry for it [17:52] hi [17:52] michaelb, oh [17:53] michaelb, why would you want to do that? [17:53] coleys: Well it looks like I was right.. It is a bug.. And I am not the only one.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/254583 [17:53] michaelb, that would break all those package you would want to keep [17:53] hatter243: nothing happens [17:53] Titan8990_, didi2002: I installed the latest version of the package from source... it won't break anything [17:53] i cant get rid of u3 from my usb flash drive... [17:53] firewall03: what are you getting at the moment? do you get a grub menu? [17:54] Mnemonic^: Read that bug report, and learn their format =) [17:54] Operations: dd the fist 512 bytes of the disc [17:54] how? [17:54] C-S-B: I would rather not reinstall over linux and lose everything [17:54] Is Ram dynamic in Ubuntu 9.04 [17:54] Operations, dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdb count=1 bs=512 [17:55] hatter243: is working! exit command was needed! [17:55] firewall03: backup your home directory [17:55] i have a 4 gig machine, but when I look at the System Monitor, it tells me that there is only 2.7 GiB there [17:55] firewall03: whats the current state you have? [17:55] That seems like a strange number [17:55] lwells: 32bit Ubuntu? [17:56] can i install debian 5.0 in ubuntu? [17:56] Yes it is mobi-sheep [17:56] commander_: in a virtual machine you can [17:56] commander_: with enough RAM also [17:56] how do i get that seb? [17:56] C-S-B: do you mean what am I running? [17:56] lwells: Ah-ha! Your CPU got 64bit processor though? [17:56] C-S-B: Jaunty [17:56] Yes [17:56] commander_: How much RAM do you have? [17:56] i got 3GB Ram [17:56] Amd processer [17:57] commander_: ok that's more than you need to virtual machine [17:57] hey [17:57] i put in mozilla-firefox-builds (or something like that) into my repository yesterday. how come i still don't have firefox 3.5? [17:57] what an I do if ALSA says "Default PCM: rates [0x0]: bits [0x0]: formats [0x0]" or is this the right setup (all 0x0) [17:57] firewall03: as in how broken is your setup [17:57] run a Intel Centrino dual core processor 1.83gHz [17:57] sebsebseb, its me from yesturda [17:57] mobi-sheep: I am cheating my machine with 32 bit Ubuntu? [17:57] i`d like to check dependency for all files using apt-get. how do taht? [17:57] ok Seb how do i get virtual machine? [17:57] sebsebseb, with the back track 4 [17:58] commander_: there's Virtualbox open source edition in the repo, but that lacks USB suppourt, so if you want that feature get it for linux hosts and for Ubuntu from http://www.virtualboxorg [17:58] commander_: http://www.virtualbox.org [17:58] PATPAT: oh [17:58] ubuntuUSR: apt-cache showpkg [17:58] C-S-B: I don't think its too bad, something went wrong after I resized the partitions but the partition manager said that it completed without problems [17:59] lwells: The solution would be to install 64-bit Ubuntu or install a different kernel that supports this. [17:59] so is it possible from the command line to remove packages without removing the packages that depend the on to be removed? [17:59] whats todays date [17:59] lwells: Well, if you got amd64 processor on your machine, you might as well go with Ubuntu 64. :) [17:59] !ot | PATPAT [17:59] PATPAT: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[18:01] maris, well at least i know hot to fix it D [18:01] usr13: nothing in there about removing a package without removing the packages that rely on it... i've read backwards and forwards [18:01] good afternoon, someone already used the ebuntu? [18:01] mobi-sheep: 9.04 [18:01] need help! just did an aptitude upgrade (karmic), rebooted, now I have no video (nv), and I'm not sure how to connect the wifi to even try to fix it w/o nm-applet. :/ [18:01] usr13: but i`m sure i have moved out core files like kernel modules. how fix it?

Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [18:03] majnoon, what was ot? [18:03] !lts | lwells [18:03] !lts | lwells [18:03] lwells: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04) [18:03] ubuntuUSR: not sure what your question is. [18:03] Yikes what did I say [18:04] lwells: It's far more stable because of LTS -- Primarily recommended for business and such. [18:04] C-S-B: may I msg you? [18:04] offtopic chat basically talk about ALMOST anything :) [18:04] the screen resolution keeps getting back at 1024x768, after every reboot, any ideas? Someone? [18:04] lwells: But if you're home user, you might as well enjoy the fruits of the latest 9.04. [18:04] majnoon, yeah but what was ot that you pulled that? [18:04] mobi-sheep: I like bleeding edge stuff [18:04] dAnon: what video card are you using/ [18:04] ? [18:04] I just noticed in synaptic that flashplugin-installer is installed, but neither adobe-flashplugin nor flashplugin-nonfree. Firefox seems to deliver flash okay. Should I leave well enough alone or install something more? [18:04] GF 7800GT [18:04] lwells: well you don't get that with Ubuntu [18:05] mobi-sheep: huh? [18:05] Can someone tell me how I might add a request to have MSSQL compiled, by default in PHP5 for both the desktop and server versions going forward? [18:05] lwells: try Fedora 11 if you want more cutting edge, but also something that isn't pretty complex [18:05] lwells: Then stick with 9.04 if you want to be on bleeding edge. [18:05] anyone need a hand? [18:05] usr13: i have removed some files .so [18:05] lwells: Also, you didn't know this, you can run 32bit in 64bit. [18:05] !chroot | lwells [18:05] lwells: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [18:05] webereinc: Have you filed a bug against the php5 package? [18:05] * scunizi clap clap clap... got 2 of my own [18:06] mobi-sheep: I thought it was backward compatible [18:06] dAnon u have to save the xorg config - its read-only - so you need to save it then sudo copy it to /etc/X11 [18:06] Pici - I didn't know if this would be considered a 'bug' as opposed to just a request [18:06] lwells: Anyway, you could solve your issue by using server kernel. Let me find you a link. [18:06] mobi-sheep: just lot of software was saying it could not be install, due to incompatible architeture [18:07] mobi-sheep: thanks [18:07] webereinc: Its still appropriate to log it on Launchpad against that package. It may be classified as 'wishlist' though. [18:07] lwells: To learn more about 32 or 64 bit, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit Look under Memory. You'll find the limit in 4GB. [18:07] it gives you the name of the offtopic channel [18:07] dAnon theres an option to save it on the nvidia config gui [18:07] OK, thanks! === lifi is now known as bdl [18:07] joebodo why do I have to everything manually? [18:07] if I do the install option via the live cd will that totally reformat my computer? [18:07] majnoon, yeah but normaly people go off topic before you moan about it [18:07] was gettig for ME [18:07] firewall03: do you have a windows install you want to keep? [18:07] hi [18:08] scunizi: roger [18:08] how do i setup an intel hda soundcard? [18:08] !hi | vonor [18:08] vonor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:08] lwells: You see this on the page? :What should I choose - 32 or 64 bit? [18:08] Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit. [18:08] dAnon did u want me to come over and do it for youu ? [18:08] majnoon ah ok [18:08] 2nd question - how can you change ownership of a file using nautilus? File is set to my own account and I want to change its ownership to www-data [18:08] ok, how can I tell apt that I already have something installed manually which satisfy dependencies for other packages? [18:08] scunizi: yes I do [18:08] joebodo no just, when I click save x configuration it says it can't [18:08] firewall03: then part of the process, the install cd will ask how much space you want to allocate to ubuntu and it will repartition your drive.. to be safer you can always do that yourself manually === will___ is now known as throughnothing [18:09] mobi-sheep: yes I will read that [18:09] joebodo where's the common logic in this? [18:09] does the alternative cd also has ltsp support, or only the desktop cd? the server cd surely doesn't have it on the install cd as option :( [18:09] webereinc: right click, choose properties and edit. [18:09] joebodo I see none [18:09] scunizi: will it give me the option to use my own partitions that I have already made? [18:09] (When) will ubuntu 9.04 get the firefox 3.5 version? === root is now known as Guest82278 [18:09] dAnon save to ur desktop - then sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/ [18:09] usr13: no - properties shows my ownership but doesn't give a drop down or anyway to change the owner [18:09] shled: when it is done being tested. [18:09] mickster04: why from external hard drive => HD to copy file speed is 10kb but from the DH=> external is 20mb? [18:09] mickster04, i'd appreciate that if you want to greet me to do it yourself instead of through a bot :P [18:10] michaeldb : dpkg offers such possib's, man dpkg > force options;; apt won't remove packages needed for other apps usually [18:10] lwells: Read few links from this --> http://tinyurl.com/kqa66a [18:10] Pici, thanks [18:10] mobi-sheep: ahh , so there is a work around for 32 bit applications on Ubuntu 64 [18:10] lwells: That should solve your issue. However, I suggest you to use 64bit Ubuntu in the future. :) [18:10] firewall03: If you make them yourself then when the installer gets to the partitioning portion choose manual.. from there you can tell it what is what.. if you make the partitions yourself then 8-12 gigs for / (root)... 1-2gigs for /swap and the remainder /home [18:10] maris? 10kb? [18:11] sry mb [18:11] maris? i have no idea.... [18:11] firewall03: /home is where all your personal data lives. mostely [18:11] mobi-sheep: Well there is some more work to get some of the same software on 64 bit Ubuntu === michaelb is now known as brailsmt [18:11] quit [18:11] lwells: Yes, by using chroot, your application will believe you're at root (/) when in reality, you're using /home/lwells/ or something else. :) [18:11] maris? oh write speeds might be different to read? [18:11] scunizi: I knew that, is there a way I can restore my wubi install at all? [18:11] Anyone? How to change ownership of a file or folder using nautilus - -- properties shows me as owner and I want to change ownership to www-data [18:11] webereinc: Oh, I see. Well, I guess that's just something you can't do in Nautilus. Sorry. [18:11] firewall03: that I don't know.. I've never played with wubi [18:11] DasEi: dpkg can tell apt that I've already got a dep installed and don't need it to be installed? [18:11] just now removing 34GB data deadly slow :/ [18:12] !wubi | firewall03 [18:12] firewall03: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [18:12] mobi-sheep: got wish I new that before reinstalling under 32bit [18:12] lwells: You could always ask here for assistances and such. ;) [18:12] webereinc: do it from terminal better, or you'd have to run nautilus as root (dangerous) [18:12] webereinc: I suppose you'll have to do it from CLI using command chown [18:12] scunizi: its no big deal ill just have to reinstall everything, thanks for you help [18:12] ok Seb i'M dl virtualbox now wha?t i do after that [18:13] mobi-sheep: guess i figured it to be a simple process to go to 64 bit [18:13] firewall03: np :) [18:13] howdy all [18:13] heh I broke ubuntu! 8.10 I have a command prompt on boot and I can login. No GUI. I am now on win looking for help. I was removing the ATI driver and trying to get the Open driver installed to get ready to go to 9.04. upon reboot no GUI. I do not know what ubuntu help guide I was following, as now I am on win. I do not know the command to launch the GUI even. Please help. I thank you [18:13] joebodo so basically I need to copy this file to /etc/X11 [18:13] joebodo If so, I'm done right? [18:13] mickster04: interesting then to move to external much faster than other way :) [18:13] scunizi: 1 more thing, my windows should still remain intact after the install? [18:13] brailsmt: nope, the queston was how to keep apt from removing additional packets, needed by remaing deb's [18:13] dAnon yes that should do it [18:13] I have a dummy question. How do I do a search in the terminal (to find previously typed commands)? === jared__ is now known as Jaret [18:13] vibra: use the up or down arrows [18:13] lwells: I suppose things would run faster (and natively). Using 32bit ubuntu on 64bit, that's just robbing your processing time since the other 32 aren't going to be used in threads. [18:14] vibra: history [18:14] my nvidia-settings app doesn't save to file what it sets on the fly, what should i do? [18:14] mobi-sheep: one more question , is there anyway not to lose all the work I have done , setting up machine, or would I need to start all over [18:14] LargePrime1: you got a cmd-prompt ? [18:14] joebodo thanks then, but it shouldn't be that way, and I can't find a reasonable excuse for such fail [18:14] firewall03: should .. I've never had an issue.. occationally grub will not be referenced correctly but that's a realatively easy fix.. [18:14] usr13 & DasEi: Is that what everyone else does when promoting websites from local accounts into production? Mannually change ownership with CLI. Why invest in the GUI of nautilus if you can't accomplish this needed file maintenance? [18:14] DasEi: i went ahead and just blew away everything, so now I need to tell apt that I don't need a package installed... [18:14] scunizi: alright Ill give it a whirl and harass you about it when I get it done thanks again [18:14] DasEi: Yep. also sorry this pidgin is not configgured for IRC === _ejb is now known as ejb [18:14] webereinc: Maybe you should tell us what you are trying to do. [18:15] mobi-sheep: I have no data yet, but I installed and set up the machine the way I liked it, hate to do that work again [18:15] LargePrime1: learn irssi for irc access from the command line.. ctrl+alt+F1-6 will give you different TTY's that you can 'fix' things from [18:15] LargePrime1: you're next to the cmd-line one ? [18:15] my nvidia-settings app doesn't save to file what it sets on the fly, what should i do? [18:15] anyone have a couple of min to help with a problem where one box will respond to a ping from one computer but not the other when they are all on the same hub [18:15] DasEi: scunizi I am in win now [18:15] rblst: Run it under sudo [18:15] Jodosh: Are you sure the hub is functional? [18:16] yes [18:16] DasEi: scunizi I am in win now. I can boot ubuntu but have no GUI [18:16] Jodosh: Also, are ytou sure it's a hub? Most hub saren't hubs, these days, but switches. [18:16] PCa can ping PCb and PCc [18:16] webereinc: as said you could, but you can accidently destroy a lot [18:16] LargePrime1: get a paper & pen .. [18:16] PCb will only ping PCa [18:16] I know that exist a shortcut to find commands previously typed in terminal, but i don't remember, and i couldn't find it. [18:16] I have a USB keyboard plugged into my laptop. Unfortuantely, the USB keyboard has a poorly-placed power button. How can I either prevent ubuntu from powering down when it's hit, or force it to always use suspend instead of shutdown or restart? [18:16] and PCc will only ping PCa [18:16] My employees are using webmin to file-xfer from their local machines (development) up to the test (and eventually production) web servers. After the file transfer, the files and folders are set with the developer's account from the webmin transfer and they need to be given to www-data ownership. Most of the developers are not CLI experts so I wanted them to be able to change the ownership using nautilus... but this looks like it doesn't work. [18:17] puff, system>preference>power options? [18:17] usr13: it saves the file, but those settings are not the same as the ones it sets when i click apply [18:17] scunizi: are you saying I can log into Ubuntu and type Irssi and have an IRC client? [18:17] puff power management sorry [18:17] webereinc: Using CLI to change ownership is not that difficult: chown user-name file-name [18:18] An IRC question if that is okay. How do I get a channel list? [18:18] mickster04: Bah humbug, no optoin for "do nothing". [18:18] rblst: Are you using gnome? [18:18] vibra if your still in the same window, press up-key [18:18] really? [18:18] DasEi: Got it [18:18] mickster04: But I guess defaulting to suspend is better than nothing. Thanksl. [18:18] LargePrime1: boot into command line, login as user with PW, then : http://paste.ubuntu.com/207629/ [18:18] puff hmm....i set mine to "ask" [18:18] which package contains libncursesw.so ? [18:18] usr13: yes [18:19] usr13: Yep, that looks like the way I'll have to go [18:19] Thanks [18:19] brailsmt:apt-get remove [18:19] lwells: Sorry, I'm back. [18:19] webereinc why not add them to the proper group / [18:19] mickster04: Yea, that's what I had it set to, but the problem is, if I'm typing a mile a minute and accidentally hit the on-keyboard power button.... [18:19] mobi-sheep: you see my other question? [18:19] lwells: I went in kitchen to get myself a drink. You can back up your home directory. [18:19] mickster04: The ask dialog comes up and by default it's on shutdown and my fingers are flying... [18:19] !home | lwells [18:19] lwells: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [18:19] puff yeah.... [18:19] webereinc: Are they using webmin on a ubuntu server? [18:19] joebodo: They are in the group www-data, but when the files transfer, the retain the local owner's account... [18:19] brailsmt:use --purge option if you want to delete config, too [18:19] We are required to use corporate specific fonts.. I installed the microsoft-corefonts and that works. How to I install fonts from the .PFB and .PFM extensions? [18:20] usr13: yes [18:20] lwells: All configuration files too, not just your personal files. :) [18:20] webereinc: What does "file-xfer" mean? [18:20] usr13: but i'd be content with any command line solution too [18:20] usr13: file transfer [18:20] mobi-sheep: so I could just copy that over to the new install? [18:20] there is a panel on my desktop which can't be deleted, is there another way to delete it? [18:21] webereinc sounds like a config issue with ur ftp or whatever ur using [18:21] webereinc: I would suggest that you have them file transfer via an SCP GUI client to a local direcotry in their user account, then have a shell script that synchronizes (and sets permissions properly) to the web account for deployment. [18:21] lwells: Yes. Or you can create a separate home partition (easier). [18:21] Pirate_Hunter:which app ? [18:21] when i type a command in terminal, i can use a shortcut to find similar commands previously typed. anyone remember which it is? [18:21] Pirate_Hunter: is there any error message? perhaps try to remove it as root [18:21] lwells: Also, if you want to keep a list of newly installed packages that you added. [18:21] webereinc: Ok, well, I've never used webmin to do that. But, if you want to change ownership of a whole directory full of files, just cd to that dir and do; chown user-name * [18:21] !clone | lwells [18:21] lwells: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [18:21] DasEi: away I go . wish me luck! [18:21] mickster04: by the way I have creative VF-0050 web cam and I cant get to work that on UBUNTU [18:21] joebodo: Not really, the web development world is still quite kludgy when it comes to permissions. [18:21] do so XD, LargePrime1 [18:22] puff bah [18:22] mobi-sheep: do you have a link for that? [18:22] lwells: That'll give you a list. I personally like to keep my home partition on different hard drive and find a smallest HDD I could... 20GB or so and use that for my core system. ;) [18:22] maris yeah i have my webcam built in a n it just worked....sorry [18:22] DasEi: Can I save thoes commands to a file and run them from the command prompt? [18:22] lwells: Link for what? [18:22] usr13: Yep - I could do that, but having non-experienced developers running amok with a CLI sounds a little scary to me...... [18:22] joebodo: That's about how I feel about it :-) [18:22] gzojw, how would i go removing it as root, doesnt root access only work on nautilus and cli? Well i right click it and the delete option is greyed out which aint supposed to happen [18:22] webereinc: I told you what you should do. [18:23] webereinc: but if they ftp the files, the ownership would become what it should be. The file transfer method is the problem. [18:23] puff: that suggestion might be the way I have to go [18:23] mobi-sheep: for doing a seperate partition for the old home directory and having it work with the new install/ [18:23] my nvidia-settings app saves a different config to file from what it sets on the fly, what should i do? [18:23] ppuff ftp can do what he needs - just needs to be configured - [18:23] The file xfer is a java applet running within webmin [18:23] !home | lwells [18:23] lwells: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [18:23] LargePrime1: you could sum in a script an call it as root, but for three lines and usage once .. lern basic cmds ;-) [18:23] maris, i suppose you've googled your webcam + linux? [18:23] lwells: See the link ^^ [18:23] webereinc: I've been doing web stuff since 1994, trust me. [18:23] afternoon all =D [18:23] joebodo: Depends on how he has group perms and sudo and etc set up. [18:23] Pirate_Hunter: what is the name of that folder? in console try doing stat Desktop/name_of_that_folder to see its permissions status [18:24] webereinc: Yes, I understand that you dont want un-experienced users on CLI for sure... but there are other solutions. AND you already have them using webmin and that is scary to me. [18:24] puff: most of my developers are developing on Windows boxes............ [18:24] joebodo: MAybe you don't *want* your users to have sufficient access to do that. [18:24] DasEi: Yes sir... [18:24] * LargePrime1 sulks [18:24] puff exactly [18:24] heh [18:24] lwells: Do you have several files / large-sized files in your home directory? [18:24] webereinc: webmin is for lerning purposes only, just a learning tool - IMO [18:24] mysk system on ubuntu 9.04 is hogging all the cpu. running only task manager too freezes the system. what should i do? [18:24] I have no data yet mobi-sheep [18:25] anyone know any good apache stats analytics packages that let you keep up to date through the day in "real time" or within the last 10 minutes or something? [18:25] webereinc: The way to use webmin is to use it, see what it does, learn from it, and then uninstall it. [18:25] Jodosh: Okay, so you have three boxes plugged into the same hub. [18:25] puff id rather not have them log in ... just to change perms [18:25] angad: see top or htop to see which proc causes this [18:25] watching movie running firefox everythi [18:25] mobi-sheep: I just set up all this yesterday [18:25] I'm having some trouble setting up postfix for my server. I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and it works through "testing", but if i try to send an email (say, via telneting to port 25 and manually issuing commands) locally or remotely, it doesn't work. any ideas where i should/could start? the test email i sent o my address @gmail.com is still in the outgoing queue and it says the connection to gmai. [18:25] my nvidia-settings app saves a different config to file from what it sets on the fly, what should i do? [18:25] lwells: You could just tar up your home directory and put it on your USB or something, since you don't have data at all. [18:25] joebodo: I didn't say they sh ould, I said he should have a script that does it for them. [18:25] we have goog analytics, but we're looking to do analytics of our own to cross reference/ match up against 3rd party analytics. [18:25] puff & usr13: my developers develop in local apache/mysql/php environments on Windows... when they get it right, they need to push it up to an Ubuntu server.... I don't want them in the CLI but I don't want to have to go behind them ... [18:26] and also to get a more realtime feel for our site activity. [18:26] webereinc: You might want to look into a CMS solution. [18:26] puff yeah thats easiest route [18:26] they are all on the same subnet (10.0.1.X/24) [18:26] rblst, what nvidia are you useing [18:26] Is anyone familiar with kernel commandline stuff? [18:26] mobi-sheep: but I would in affect have two home directories with the new install? [18:26] webereinc: What's the development platform? [18:26] I have found by myself the answer to my previous question! [18:26] In terminal do: [18:26] webereinc: Apache, php, perl, java? [18:26] A can ping both B and C, but B and C can't ping eachother [18:26] ctr+r → It searches for commands you've already typed. [18:26] Anyway. Thanks for the guys that tried help me :) [18:26] vibra: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:26] Jodosh: Can B or C ping A? [18:26] DasEi, processes change. terminal took 10 secs to start [18:26] lwells: No. When you finished installing, you would not log in. You would overwrite your ~/home with a backup ~/home. [18:27] they both can [18:27] puff: apache (and/or IIS) php5 mysql (and/or MSSQL) [18:27] anyone knows how to remove the last panel from desktop? [18:27] Jodosh: Can B or C ping the outside world? [18:27] short__error: geforce4 mx 440 [18:27] Pirate_Hunter: Can't hide the last panel. Invisible it? [18:27] this is one a network that isn't connected to the outside [18:27] well, device_nomsi=0x0AD410DE dosen't do much. [18:27] angad: if you use htop, can press f6 and sort for mem or cpu load [18:27] Pirate_Hunter: can you right click on it and delete it? [18:27] Pirate_Hunter: Err, Can't delete the last panel. Hide it. [18:27] usr13: Which CMS solution might you suggest? Don't many of them also generate unwanted code as a by-product? [18:27] webereinc: I've recently started using joomla and like it quit a bit. Maybe you could make some sort of shift in that direction somehow? [18:28] FloodBot3. I didn't understand... [18:28] usr13: I'm not familiar with joomla - please describe briefly [18:28] mobi-sheep: thanks for all your help [18:28] webereinc: I could show you an example if you like. (Can I PM you?) [18:28] what is intresting is that of i hook a second NIC from B to the hub then they can ping eachother [18:28] DasEi, top process is gnome-system-moniter itself [18:28] mobi-sheep, hmmm weird considering there is a command to bring panel back encase something goes wrong. [18:28] lwells: Read whatever I gave you. It should help you understand it better. Don't do this when you're logged in. You need to do this in TTY and such. [18:29] usr13: New to this chat forum (first time on Pidgin) Please advise [18:29] angad: which amount/percentage ? [18:29] mobi-sheep: yes that makes sense [18:29] my nvidia-settings app saves a different config to file from what it sets on the fly, what should i do? [18:29] webereinc: Yeah, just set up a script that syncronizes from, say, /home/foo/development to /var/www/htdocs/foo and then chowns as appropriate. [18:29] webereinc: never mind. See: saint-annes.org [18:29] hello [18:29] Pirate_Hunter: Well, I know that you can't hide the last panel. That's all there is. Meh. [18:29] webereinc: However, i'm not sure you really need to chown to www-data. Why do you think you need to? [18:29] DasEi, 55-60 [18:30] rblst, are you using ubuntu 9.04 [18:30] mobi-sheep: you know what was funny, when had the 64 bit installed, the Ram was at 3.6 [18:30] webereinc: http://www.joomla.org/ [18:30] angad: pretty much for that, disable it then, and check your logs [18:30] Still not the full 4 gig [18:30] puff: because www-data is the account that apache is using [18:30] short__error: just installed it from cd [18:30] mobi-sheep, yeah just tried hiding it and nothing is happening :p starting to annoy me now [18:30] usr13, webereinc maybe we should take this discussion over to #web or #php? [18:30] angad: your machine specs ? [18:30] gah! can I download an application source tarball from the apps site, and use that source tarball to build the package and have apt know that the dependency is fulfilled? [18:31] webereinc: Drupal is supposed to be good, See drupal.org [18:31] webereinc: That is only really releveant if you need to give a script write-access to afile. [18:31] how do i show a logout option on quit dialog? [18:31] usr13: I kinda disagree with both of those comments :-). [18:31] usr13: But not virulently.; [18:31] puff: webereinc Probably should, and could get more experienced input from there too [18:31] usr13, webereinc maybe we should take this discussion over to #web or #php? [18:31] I suggest #php to start. [18:31] DasEi, nothing is right. mp3 avi no matter what i do cpu reaches 90. [18:32] Though they explicitly don't do app support. [18:32] puff: I'll go either way. How about you webereinc ? [18:32] angad : try to start the app from cmd-line, to see error messages [18:32] puff: Yes, that is what's going on - updating some statistic files, uploading images, etc. [18:32] Hi, can anybody check is my 22 port open on 95.52.88.149? [18:32] puff: There is also #joomla .... [18:33] moving to #php [18:33] webereinc: ok very good, c u there. [18:33] How [18:33] ? [18:33] rblst, do you have the correct drivers installed [18:33] brailsmt: that would work, but if you got no repo for sources.list, system might get unstable next update you do, see also : [18:33] !compile [18:33] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [18:34] DasEi, i dont think its related to the packages. firefox also froze [18:34] how do i show a logout option on quit dialog? === TamCore[oFF] is now known as TamCore [18:34] angad: so check /var/log/syslog ,...kernel.log [18:34] Synegami: it does not show any open ports for that IP [18:35] short__error: i have enabled the closed source driver; when i click to change monitor settings in gnome, it pops up the nvidia proprietary config app [18:35] Jodosh: mysterious, dude... have you ytried swapping the plugs around to see if it's something about that particular port? [18:35] how can i create a casper-rw file of a specific size? [18:35] redsoxking, u took my ID LoL [18:35] DasEi: my case is unixodbc, i'm trying to install the latest, the package in apt is not working (i'm on 9.04), so I compiled the thing from the unixodbc website, but now I need to tell apt that I *already* have the unixodbc dependency installed and don't need the package version installed when I install anything that depends on unixodbc, like jdbc... [18:36] yea, I have tried 4 different hubs with new cords, looks like I'll have to treat it like windows and see if a restart fixes anything [18:36] Ddorda there are several panel applets that show log out - u may need to select a different one [18:36] jefinc: thx, that sux :( [18:36] rblst, is this what is tells you "It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?" [18:36] DasEi: this should be simple... [18:36] joebodo: can you recommend me some? [18:36] short__error: that's right, and i click yes [18:37] does device_nomsi= work on ubuntu kernels?

I'm searching for a shell command which will list files in a repo package. Do you know of one? [18:38] Ddorda i use the fast user switcher applet [18:38] rblst, click not and it will bring you to the gnome display settings and you will be able to change what you need i do believe [18:38] angad: use search function > error [18:38] RedSoxKing_, is the ps3 running ubuntu?

[18:41] MK13: to format it [18:41] geirha, thnx [18:41] well okay, thank you for the answers, I will check out medibuntu [18:41] brailsmt: so you compiled it, and now a app want to install the deb from repo ?* [18:42] Kurisuchan i have skype running fine on 9.04 [18:42] geirha, what does the /dev/zero do? [18:42] well that leaves me confused [18:42] MK13: When you read from it, it will continuosly output zero bytes, infinately [18:42] MK13: /dev/zero is like a virtual harddrive with only 0's [18:42] geirha, ahh, gotcha [18:43] MK13: dd just copies "data" from it to a file [18:43] Kurisuchan it works better on 9 due to the sound improvements [18:43] DasEi: yes [18:43] Can anyone help me? I've compiled the 2.6.30 kernel, and, when i log in to kde, i have no mouse, but, when X crashes (nvidia stuff ¬¬ solved), i DO have a mouse [18:43] joebodo: so where did you get your skype, medibuntu repositories or skypes homepage? [18:43] servus [18:44] Kurisuchan medibuntu [18:44] Drknezz: first off kubuntu is halfass implmenation of KDE, second... Is hal going? [18:44] ? [18:44] geirha, could you explain most of that command so I can learn the components used? [18:44] coleys: HAL? [18:44] coleys: the Hw abstraction layer? [18:44] Drknezz: Hardware Abstraction Layer. [18:44] joebodo: ok, thanks, I will use that then :) [18:44] coleys: why wouldn't it ever be running anyways, isn't it essential? [18:45] Drknezz: It could be erroring or something. And No its not essential if you know what your doing. [18:45] DasEi: apt-get install sun-java6-jdk tomcat5.5 -> The following extra packages will be installed: ... unixodbc [18:45] MK13: from the input file (if=), read 100 (count=100) blocks of size 1M (bs=1M), and write them to outfile (of=) [18:45] coleys: how can i check for it? [18:45] am I correct in thinking its not possible for a script on a mounted volume to unmount the volume that its written on and remount it again? [18:45] DasEi, hey now all of a sudden everything is normal. i didn't do anything at all. it froze yesterday like this for a long time too. my syslog errors o/p > http://pastebin.com/m3a7d1c60 [18:45] geirha, kk thnx alot [18:46] hello, my screen gets garbled after i boot into the login screen. I set my drivers to intel 2.4 and defaultdepth to 24 which doesnt work with any resolutions i set in the "display" subsection. For some reason I can use depth 24 if i change into this with xorg.conf and then reboot instead of shutting down and turning my comp back on. If i use 16bit depth everyting works fine with the intel driver and vesa. [18:46] MK13: Don't set the blocksize too high. With bs=1M, it will use at least 1M memory, if you set bs=1G, it will use at least 1G memory [18:46] Drknezz: sudo /etc/init.d/hald restart [18:46] coleys: when the X-error ggtk dialog popped up, the mouse worked correctly, but when i finally could log in to kde, the mosue was still all time, no matter what i did, but when i boot back into Ubuntu's stock kernel, it works [18:47] does device_nomsi= work on ubuntu kernels? [18:47] geirha, very good to know [18:47] geirha, 1M shouldn't impact 2 gigs much :D [18:47] does anyone use rtorretn 0.8.4? [18:48] Drknezz: How did you install kde? Via kubuntu liveCD or... apt-get? [18:48] MK13: Yeah, 1M should be fairly effcient [18:48] coleys: kubuntu liveCD [18:48] Drknezz: and your mouse isn't a touchpad right? [18:48] coleys: this is pure kubuntu, not ubuntu conversion, i came here because #kubuntu is a ghost town [18:48] geirha, the count wont matter will it... it will just cause it to run longer while using 1M right? [18:48] coleys: it's a desktop [18:48] ;) [18:49] Drknezz: Okay. And Yeah..Kubuntu is a ghosttown =P hmm.. [18:49] lol [18:49] short__error: i tried that as well, but then the frequency is too low, whereas the nvidia app sets it well [18:49] i need help. I have a external hard drive that i just formatted to ext2 and it mounts but i cannot write to it [18:49] rblst: just click on write to X config file ;) [18:50] !fstab | BellinXFelon [18:50] BellinXFelon: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:50] Drknezz: it writes to xorg.conf, but those settings are bad [18:50] MK13: With the one I showed you, it will read 1M into memory, then write it, read another 1M, and write it. Reapeated 100 times when count=100 [18:50] does somebody know how to install rtorrent 0.8.4 to ubuntu 8.04 server? [18:50] rblst, yes do as Drknezz said..... [18:50] rblst: :S [18:50] Drknezz: Im not really sure... Honestly it should be working. [18:50] geirha, thnx alot [18:50] rblst: it always works for me, X detects freq's wrong, and nvidia-config fix them [18:50] does any1 have a prob with jave intergrating properly with browsers in jaunty? [18:50] jave = java [18:51] hello folks, I was wondering if anyone here has a highly optimized kernel (single cpu) and would share the size of that kernel with me 2.6 version please. [18:51] brailsmt: I feel don't feel too lucky with that advice, but man dpkg tells you how to update the package information, from tarball to deb : http://abz89.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/building-debian-deb-package-from-tarball-source-targz/ >>OWN risk !! [18:51] I've been trimming for a day and still have some trimming to do. [18:51] coleys: i'd say i didnt compile a certain module, but i had a functional mouse on gtk dialog :S [18:51] Drknezz: Yeah thats what doesn't make sense. =p [18:51] rblst: you got to run the tool as sudo [18:51] I keep getting: WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed! python-moovida python-pgm moovida-plugins-ugly moovida moovida-plugins-good moovida-plugins-bad, even though I've added the key and updated. Any idea why? [18:52] hey all... if I know the name of a package that I want, how do I figure out what repository it's in, so aptitude can add it to my source list? [18:52] DasEi: thank you for your time, I'm an advanced user and I know what I'm doing, I just need to workaround this limitation in apt, thanks for your help... I found the equivs package and will try that out... [18:52] coleys: kde depends on hal for mouse stuff? [18:52] Cainus: First check if its available with current repos. apt-cache search packagename [18:52] so if i install something and it asks for another 35 packages and then uninstall it, will aptsget autoremove remove the extra 35 packages?? [18:52] coleys: it's not [18:52] Drknezz : how do i use fstab im fairly new to this [18:52] brailsmt: may your sys last long.. [18:52] Cainus: Search google for ubuntu repo for it, what application if I may ask? [18:52] lwells: I have 3GB ram and it displayed 2.9GB for me. :) How did you find out your RAM size? [18:53] BellinXFelon: you dont *use* fstab, it just signals the kernel how to do stuff [18:53] Drknezz: Everything depends on HAL =P [18:53] coleys: python-pypoker-eval ... I've installed it on another system, so I know it's the correct name [18:53] BellinXFelon: modify it according to those guides ;) [18:53] coleys: so, how did gtk took control of mouse? [18:53] Drknezz : ok well i have done this same thing before, i just forgot how to do it, i remember using sudo chown [18:53] I have a terminal application launcher but i need to designate a specific working directory. Which env variable should i set? [18:54] Drknezz: I don't have a clue, I don't trust kubuntu myself =P [18:54] ciao a tutti inchatt [18:54] BellinXFelon: Huh? changing the owner of fstab should make a kernel panic [18:54] coleys: lol [18:54] Drknezz : I am just trying to write to the disk, It is already mounted [18:54] on a desktop system single cpu kernel 2.6.x what should the approximate size be? [18:55] BellinXFelon: i think it is being mounted as R [18:55] BellinXFelon: not RW [18:55] Drknezz: i do it so, i run it as root, makes no difference [18:55] Hello beautiful people! Can someone help me troubleshoot my dvd burner? [18:55] Drknezz : and I edit fstab [18:55] BellinXFelon: yeah, you have to edit it, stick to the guides ;) You can do it [18:56] rblst: weird [18:56] Drknezz : ok thanks [18:56] coleys: this one: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/python-pypoker-eval . What repo do I add to my source list? [18:56] Drknezz: indeed [18:56] BellinXFelon: np [18:56] sera gente!

My dvd burner stopped working, I believe since my upgrade to jaunty. It is a Samsung sata model. All I get are corrupted discs. I've tried Brasero, k3b, dvdrecord, and growisofs. This is all in an attempt to burn an official Xubuntu Jaunty iso, which passes the md5sum with the provided hash from the server. Also the discs either don't boot at all, or when I get to the boot menu and select the option to t [19:02] its a java application [19:02] Zaqq: traffic scramblers... :/ [19:02] no downloads .. the traffic is very very thin [19:02] zaqq ssh will encrypt [19:02] rohtie: It's a backup made by mysqldump, right?

[19:02] geirha: the other guy has to have ssh too [19:03] geirha: but for some reason it can't be restored [19:03] Thingymebob: he assured me he ran it with sudo [19:03] Drknezz & DasEi : is there a friendlier guide than the ones you mentioned?

[19:03] !iptables | Zaqq [19:03] Zaqq: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[19:43] mobi-sheep, it sees that dag on thing [19:43] got my kernel down to 2m [19:43] CompizConfig Settings Manager [19:43] LargePrime: look under system > hardwaredrivers if your cardis listed there [19:44] ok only thing was I did not know one needed to "right arrow" to get to the next screen. but other than that was cake. DasEi [19:44] pw-toxic yes - changed it like 2 days ago [19:44] jedi06: Try "sudo aptitude install bluez-compat && sudo hidd --search" I have same mouse you have. [19:44] tw3ak: LZMA? [19:44] I need a console program that can convert videos to swf. [19:44] it's just gzip [19:44] joebodo, found it ! [19:44] I've got alot of work yet to do though [19:44] I am using a macbook and am trying to configure the speed since mouse movement is very slow. I looked in xorg.conf but it is rather small compared to other xorg I have seen before. There is also no entry about the mouse device. Maybe it is in another file. Does anyone know where I can configure the touchpad sensitivity ? [19:44] i searched for "switch" and there is the ViewPort Switcher plugin [19:44] pw-toxic nice [19:44] mobi-sheep, how do you like it [19:44] tw3ak: OMG, Gzip'ed :S [19:44] that's just the kernel not init or sysmap [19:45] joebodo, thanks anyway for searching <3 [19:45] mobi-sheep, seems a little on the cheap side like flimsy but may just need to get used to it [19:45] <<<< Drknezz I've only been using Linux for 2months [19:45] jedi06: Uh? I like the mouse. It's small. It's white. It's cute. Just like a mouse.

[19:48] This works: openssl s_client -connect example.com:21 -dtls1. Is there anyway to specify dtls1 in stunnel.conf so I can create a client mode tunnel? [19:48] r4ban: no idea. i *always* use the text mode installer. i like the additional options it provides. but i know it is possible, i'm just not the best person to ask. [19:48] r4ban: It's easy to do on the desktop too. Just do manual partitioning, and it asks the same questions as the alternate (and anything else) [19:48] ecolitan: I see. BTW, arpwatch is on the same machine where flip flops happen. [19:48] Pici: You see that? I helped jedi06 out. :) [19:48] LargePrime: ah I see, yes, do the upgrade first, then http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-9.04 [19:48] mmerlone: did you read how VillpnD said about being able to do the change with ifconfig?

Any suggestions? [19:54] joebodo: what do you mean? right-clicking just selects text [19:54] the same as left-clicking [19:54] ecolitan, I run that for both nics, but it feels like it did nothing, does not seem it would fix the point... [19:54] my laptop gateway will not run ubuntu any version:(, why? [19:54] morgan: error? [19:54] what doesn't work? [19:55] morgan will not run or will not boot?

[19:59] but did edit the interfaces file and will test on next reboot. [19:59] does ksplice uptrack include canonical kernel fixes? [20:00] what is the meaning, in synaptic, of packages held back and not upgraded? [20:00] mmerlone: could also apt-get macchanger and see what that util can do for ya [20:00] Is it normal in jaunty that root applications use the same theme as user applications if they have the right files? how do I bypass this? I want it to be clear when an application is running as root.. [20:01] xiong: probably means there are updates available. Install them. [20:01] have a dell optiplex sx270 running ubuntu 8.10 but will not run 9.04, it has 1 gig ram, p4 3.0, i want to upgrade but wont run live [20:01] linuxguy2009, my difficulty here is that i rely on synaptic to do that sort of stuff... [20:02] douwe: apps dont run as root unless you start them with sudo. [20:02] is there a good gnome alternative to soundconverter? [20:02] i guess my question would be, how can you change the "terminal" used by code::blocks? [20:03] linuxguy2009 I know, but even typing sudo synaptic doesn't work [20:03] mattchewie: What does soundconverter not doing for you? What do you need it to do? [20:03] douwe:no need to run synaptic as root. [20:03] douwe: synaptic is automatically run as root. [20:03] douwe: Using gksu [20:04] douwe: synaptic does not require sudo [20:04] okay, so why does it have the same theme I have set for my own profile then? [20:04] crazybe u can set the EDITOR env var - that may work [20:04] linuxguy2009, sorry if that's a dweebish statement -- it's true [20:04] douwe: Roots theme is the same? Which is probably default. [20:04] douwe: Its gonna use whatever theme your account is set to use. [20:04] =) [20:05] i have trouble getting scim-pinyin to work [20:05] has anyone been having problems with loosing sound after installing nvidia drivers? [20:05] douwe: running something as root doesnt effect themes. it effects permissions. [20:05] ecolitan, I dont think that would be a soution, even less an explanation.... [20:05] linuxguy2009: I'm converting wma's and mp3s to flac. After using soundconverter I noticed that the files were pretty big (even for flac). [20:06] I tried the ubuntu-kernel channel but no one seems to be there. [20:06] redpill_: no polling please, ask your question.. [20:06] redpill_ > 180 ver ? [20:06] mattchewie: flac is lossless.There gonna be big. Usually slightly smaller than there WAV sources. [20:06] linuxguy2009: ahh.. used to be that it did affect themes.. kinda liked that, because it allowed me to make clear I was running an app as root [20:06] is there a ubuntu nvidia channel? [20:07] mattchewie: Why would you convert a lossy format like mp3 to lossless? Thats pointless. [20:07] ecolitan, it has just flip flopped... [20:07] mattchewie: The file zise will increase dramatically and you gain no sound quality improvment at all. [20:07] OMG, why? why? WHY?!?!? :) [20:08] mmerlone: if you havnt restarted networking it wont have taken effect [20:08] but I did the ifconfig thing [20:08] lol ^ [20:08] mattchewie: Make sense ?

It's very annoying [20:51] have you tried turning it off and on again ? :P [20:51] Pirate_Hunter: alt+f2 is part of the gnome-panel process. So, if gnome-panel isn't running it won't work.

[21:45] s1gmab3ta: the reason that Nautilus doesn't show the size of the folders is that the folders need to be scanned to determine that.

[22:02] nottaken: yeah... ive seen the #!/bin/bash in other files, what does it do? [22:02] glipper seems to do the trick [22:02] bobo: that doesn't really make sense since developers would obviously make ubuntu as fast as possible by default.

[22:03] nottaken: thanks!

[22:04] tsrk: and can i do that without reformating all of the SSD? [22:05] jrib: thanks for the tips, looks like i'm going to install 8.04, just to try it [22:05] ikonia: well, it was originally planned to be a service update but ended up getting features such as private browsing mode, significant performance enhancements, etc [22:05] !ff35 [22:05] Firefox 3.5 Final is currently being built and tested for Jaunty.

'run' runs it. [22:17] NorthByNorthWest: but i believe you can right click the desktop and select create launcher, then type in the filename (may need to be absolute file name eg /home/north/sync.sh) [22:17] doh wrong nick. :) [22:18] NorthByNorthWest: : i make a 'script' on the desktop. 2 lines. #!/bin/bash then, command_to_run , make it executable.. i click on it.. it asks to view/runin terminal, or run..

[22:19] NorthByNorthWest: for 3 programs.. it would be #!/bin/bash command1 & command2 & cmmand 3 & [22:19] would someone walk me through setting up routing between 2 network interfaces [22:20] NorthByNorthWest: 4 lines total) [22:20] Dr_Willis: at the moment its: http://pastebin.com/mf26a7ea [22:21] bucky: Is that a question? [22:21] NorthByNorthWest: do it on 3 seperate lines.. and try with a simpiler test case perhaps [22:21] usr13: that's a path [22:21] NorthByNorthWest: pastebinit test.sh [22:21] http://pastebin.com/f4eee81d3 [22:22] .cl [22:22] bucky: You can create a bin directory your /home/user/ place your new executible in there and add that your path. [22:23] Dr_Willis: and xterm in in the $PATH like /usr/bin right? where is synce-sync-engine ? [22:23] if you make a 'bin' directory in /home/username - the default bash scripts AUTOMATICALLY add the ~/bin to your default path.

[22:25] i'm using amarok but it doesn't play mp3s; oggs play fine. rythmbox and banshee play mp3s and oggs fine. any ideas what could be the problem? [22:25] hey [22:25] has someone Urban terror? [22:25] i need the ioUrbanTerror.exe [22:25] file, since i deleted it [22:26] but i have to boot on windows to play it on my laptop since my ATI isnt HD (so there is no proprietary drvers) [22:27] I have a problem. I develop sw and control versions by subversion. Problem, I am doing the back up of your repository by command line. Do you know if there is a backup method possibly through ftp which automatically will solve the problem === mark__ is now known as markskilbeck [22:28] can I configure gnome panel to act like a dock? I am not satisfied with avant window manager [22:29] ok, this is really getting annoying, my /etc/resolv.conf file keeps getting overwritten, why is that? [22:29] that is I want icons for open applications in gnome panel (just the icons) that can be clicked on to go to them [22:29] when it is overwritten it erases everything in there? [22:29] halberd, possibly give cairo-dock a try? [22:29] and I can't connect to the internet [22:29] halberd: look at gnome-do (and docky) [22:29] I tried cairo-dock, bastidrazor , but it has problems on my system... many problems [22:29] shane2peru: the network manager does it. [22:29] I think it may have caused a freeze last night [22:29] so I removed it [22:29] usr13: then where is my nameservers supposed to be specified? [22:29] shane2peru: You must have a dhcp server that is handing out bogus info. [22:30] usr13: ok, how do I fix that? [22:30] shane2peru: /etc/resolv.conf [22:30] usr13: lol, I know add, nameserver 208.67.222.222 [22:30] Rev_: There is a pointer to a torrent at http://www.urbanterror.net/page.php?6 [22:30] shane2peru: Find the offending dhcp server and turh it off or reconfigure it so that it gives proper IP info. [22:30] usr13: I have to do that regularly, and am getting annoyed [22:31] usr13: what do you mean? [22:31] Anyone here familar with Xubuntu 9.04? [22:31] my router? [22:31] stroyan thans [22:31] well [22:31] thanks [22:31] I'm on 8.10 [22:31] I have a problem. I develop sw and control versions by subversion. Problem, I am doing the back up of my repository by command line. Do you know if there is a backup method, possibly by ftp, which automatically will solve the problem [22:31] so perhaps I should back my stuff up and do a dist-upgrade [22:31] usr13: the thing is this all started happening all the sudden, I have 3 or 4 computers connected to the router and it seems mine is the only one with this issue [22:31] when i run dumb.sh in Desktop/ it returns 'command not found' but when i run ./dumb it runs the script [22:31] !ask > jacatone [22:32] jacatone, please see my private message [22:32] usr13: leaving me to believe there is a config, or software issue on my box. [22:32] shane2peru: You can do one of two things: 1) Find the offending dhcp server and turh it off or reconfigure it so that it gives proper IP info. or 2) set your PCs NIC to static and enter proper IP info for it to connec to your network. [22:32] How do I view your private message? === AakashPatel is now known as AakashPatel|Away [22:32] halberd, with 9.04 and ATI drivers i have zero issues with cairo-dock .. 8.04 and nVidia no issues [22:32] lonejack: Do you know where the datafiles are stored on your svn server? [22:32] got it. [22:32] usr13: I don't understand what a dhcp server is, software or hardware? [22:32] bastidrazor, are you denying that I have issues? [22:32] with cairo-dock [22:33] bast how did u get cairo dock and how do i get the themes? [22:33] halberd, no, i'm hoping 9.04 for you will give better results [22:33] for example transparency doesn't always work [22:33] it does sometimes but not always [22:33] halberd: have you tried compiling cairo-dock 2.0 beta from source? [22:33] MoltenBobcat: yes on my pc [22:33] and it sometimes locks up and I had to kill it [22:33] usr13: the issue seems to be on this box, and not the others leaving me to believe the dhcp server must be software on my box??? [22:33] Hilariousity, why would I want a beta? [22:33] commander_, i actually grabbed the deb of the latest.. one sec and i'll give you the link [22:33] I'm going to update to ubuntu 9.04 [22:33] MoltenBobcat: I would like to save my data on a remote server by ftp [22:34] halberd: because it actually works better then the version that comes with ubuntu [22:34] ok cuz every time i get it it gives me the default theme [22:34] shane2peru: A DHCP server allows hosts on a TCP/IP network to request and be assigned IP addresses [22:34] hi people [22:34] i need help [22:34] hy [22:35] does anybody know how to set up kde3? [22:35] Q: I haven't thought this through too much, but is there an easy way for me to start lengthy commands, and have the terminal tell me (via tweet, txt, email, etc.) when they're done? [22:35] lonejack: your client is a linux box and your remote server is a linux box as well and you have ssh access to the server? [22:35] why can't see buddies in my pidgin list? [22:35] usr13: being the router that I'm plugged into then? [22:35] shane2peru: i just uncomment prepend domain-name-servers in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and put my favorite name server ip in there and dhclient eth0 [22:35] MoltenBobcat: yes [22:35] !kde3 [22:35] Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page [22:35] bucky: thank you I will look at that [22:36] howdy folks [22:36] bucky: the other fellow seems to be over my head [22:36] MoltenBobcat: but... on my remote server I can't install subversion [22:36] which channel is the best to discuss video formats? [22:36] * bucky loves dhclient [22:36] shane2peru: A work-around would be to just set it to static. Set the IP address to one that is outside the range of the DHCP server's pool, but yet inside the subnet of your LAN. Add the line for nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and set the default gateway as it should be. [22:36] commander_, http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724 you'll need to grab both the dock.deb and the plugins.deb [22:36] ubottu, i know, my question is how to install Russian language in KDE3 and some other minor issues [22:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:37] lonejack: so you just want to manually push the files up there [22:37] I would just use scp you could do something like this asssuming you have ssh enable on the rmote box. [22:37] Certh: you're using kde3? [22:37] !kde4 [22:37] KDE 4.2 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

[22:37] shane2peru: Other that, we cannot say, not knowing more about your network. (In other words, you would need to describe in detail all about your network for us to give you any specific instructions.) [22:38] dragon_, yes [22:38] usr13: I'm sorry you are really over my head on this. [22:38] MoltenBobcat: yes [22:38] scp /path/to/local/source/* user@server.com:/destination/dir [22:38] lonejack: rsync is very efficient at mirroring a directory that may have changed only partially. It can use ssh as a secure transport. But you may want to keep multiple versions to recover from making a backup of already corrupted files. [22:38] dragon_, but i wonder how to make the interface to appear in Russian [22:38] usr13: I think bucky gave me a solution, with editing my /etc/dhcp3/dhcpclient.conf file [22:39] hello i need some help installing ubuntu on my friends computer [22:39] shane2peru: Very well, if his solution works, by all means, use it. [22:39] selamlar [22:39] darrikm: What's your address, I'll be right over. ") [22:40] Rev_ according to apt-cache show epiphany-browser... epiphany-webkit is a dependancy, so yes [22:40] stroyan: rsync, I'll have a look, I'll rsync the entire svn repository. Should I? [22:40] bucky: I think I remember editing that file before, and something I removed must have reset that file or something [22:40] i cant see my buddies in pidgin list!!!!!1 [22:40] darrikm: make sure you delete all his personal files [22:40] I'm having trouble reading and editing proprietary AVCHD video format. Point me to some resources, por favor. [22:41] t [22:41] ok thanks bucky [22:41] i boot to the disk and select the install ubuntu option it works for a few minutes then crashes with a error [22:41] usr13: hopefully it will work, I had my dns set to opendns servers and it worked for a very long time, I think something overwrote that file, perhaps an update or something. [22:41] can anyone give some partion advice for a file server i am setting up? [22:41] usr13: thanks though. [22:41] bucky: thanks. [22:41] yup [22:41] chaotic: when in doubt.. keep it simple? :) [22:41] Certh: did you try installing "language-pack-kde-ru"? [22:42] I'm failing at configuring my wireless network. Router is set at WPA-TKIP, I have edited the /etc/network/interfaces file according to some howtos, but I always get that message (After what lloks like a few trys to get an IP from the router): No DHCPOFFERS received. The network card is "working" (recognized by ifconfig) and I can see the networks with a scan so I suppose the card is working fine. Any Ideas? [22:42] lonejack: Yes. rsync -a will archive all the files. It will also recognize and take advantages of unchanged parts of files. [22:42] darrikm: What is the error that it crashes with? [22:42] well i have 2 drives and i do not know how to do the second [22:42] pokerface: Buddies > Show > Offline Buddies [22:42] not work [22:43] darrikm: what error do you see? [22:43] nor in kopete [22:43] i have asus eeepc [22:43] with eeebuntu2.0 [22:43] chaotic: how many operating systems are you going to have? are you planning to use both of the drives? what are their sizes? [22:44] joining [22:44] B it's a no go [22:44] hey [22:44] any help on what to do with that: No DHCPOFFERS received. ? (I'm not a total moron who hasnt searched on google before asking here btw) :P [22:45] Sup #ubuntu [22:45] stroyan: good advice, thank you!! [22:45] joker_: the DHCP server is not working. what are you trying to connect to? [22:45] chaotic: you can make a partition on the other drive and copy your files over and then have it mounted in fstab... google it [22:45] pokerface: you got no friends then [22:45] I'm trying to backup a whole bunch of files to a portable harddrive and I'm getting "illegal file name" errors [22:45] only one OS main install drive is a 500gig and the drive i want to store the files on is a 80 solidstate [22:45] default main process (3060) scsi error 127 "i think" then all this stuff goes past it all fast [22:45] dragon_: the dhcp server IS working, I have several computers connected to it. === carlos is now known as Guest52951 [22:45] is there some way I can automatically rename files eliminate prohibited characters [22:45] joker_: out of IPs? [22:45] dragon_: it's a wireless connection, and the problem seems to be "in the air" :) [22:46] dragon_: it's got 100 IP free for wireless :) [22:46] dragon_: any other input? [22:46] joker_: which wireless encryption are you using? [22:46] what backport package do u need to install to get ubuntu's wifi working on an eeepc900 [22:47] 9.04 i believe [22:47] phrontist: you some how made files with prohibited characters in the file names? [22:47] wpa-tkip (I was using wpa2 but switched to wpa to see if it would be simpler or at least work - but it's not) [22:47] dragon_: so yeah, it's wpa-tkip [22:47] Dr_Willis: No, they are totally legit on *nix, but I think this HDD I'm transferring them to is FAT or NTF [22:47] *NTFS [22:48] Hey im a first time ubuntu user. I made a new partition to install ububtu to but when i click forward it says no root file system is defined, can anyone help plz? [22:48] phrontist: when you mount a ntfs filesystem. the ntfs-3g tools have some 'options' that can somehow change/fix filenames i recall. check the ntfs-3g docs/homepage perhaps [22:48] filesystem type is shown as "msdos" by the graphical dialog brought up by right clicking the drive's desktop icon [22:48] BornRebel: you will need to specify where that partition is mounted [22:49] BornRebel: specify the mount point as / [22:49] dragon_: want me to post my /etc/network/interfaces file? [22:49] ok, so just specify it as / ? [22:49] BornRebel: right [22:49] ok perfect ty [22:49] joker_: feel free to [22:50] BornRebel: you may need a swap partition too. [22:50] BornRebel: no problem [22:50] I can use the gparted Live CD to shrink my ext /home partition down and make an ntfs partition to install windows 7? [22:50] dammit, I have an external hard disk formatted as hfsplus, with no journaling. It mounts fine on my other laptop which is also ubuntu [22:50] but it only mounts read-only on this laptop [22:50] what might be the problem?

[22:51] thanks guys will go try that [22:51] BornRebel: my W7 doesnt expire till July 2010 [22:51] phrontist: check 'fdisk -l' output and verify what it can be.. the MS filesystems have options when mounting to tweak name conversion and so forth.

[22:52] thx guys ill go install [22:52] joker_: were you able to connect from this machine before? [22:52] BornRebel: and get the alternative CD [22:53] Cry__Baby: try a new user. see if the problem happems with them also.. for the icon issues... sounds like a messed up gnome setting.

[22:55] it says it can't change the root directory [22:55] all of a sudden my shift key has stopped working entirely. everything else works. ideas/ [22:56] xstatic, place it in a folder with the name starting with a dot, like ".folder" [22:56] hmm also my ctrl and alt keys, but not my super key [22:56] Dr_Willis: will that affect anything else? [22:56] Cry__Baby: Cry__Baby: make a new user.. see if it affects them... or just delete/rename the main users .gnome* dirs and .gtk* <-------------------------- I allready said. :) [22:56] Dr_Willis: So i should make a new 512mb partition and then assign it as swap space? [22:56] dragon_: I used wpa_passphrase for the passphrase encryption, then simply fired the /etc/init.d/networking restart command [22:56] italomaia_: ok [22:56] Dr_Willis: or just delete/rename the main users .gnome* dirs and .gtk* dirs <-- How I do that? [22:56] dragon_: as told on the stiky howto on ubuntu forum [22:56] xstatic: put a period in front of the filename; not necessarily the folder [22:56] BornRebel: i always put a 512mb swap at the end of every drive i have in any system. :) i find it handy because live cd's look for them [22:56] Cry__Baby: use the file manager or shell. [22:57] Dr_Willis: live CD will still run without it :) [22:57] !eclipse [22:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about eclipse [22:57] Cry__Baby: i use a lot of different live cd's and most all of them use swap if seen.. which comes in very handy. [22:57] dragon_: I'm wondering what the networking is at... the lights are flashing like mad... [22:57] Dr_Willis: or just delete/rename the main users .gnome* dirs and .gtk* dirs <-- How I do that? [22:58] Dr_Willis: what cant I do on a livecd without a swap partition, that a person can do that has a swap partition? [22:58] I'm 100% unfamiliar about swap space, so should i do it when all i want to do is install ubuntu? i wont be using live discs [22:58] hi guys, do you know when ubuntu will release firefox 3.5 in apt? [22:58] my ctrl, alt, shift, and caps locks keys have stopped working. anyone have any ideas [22:58] BornRebel: the alternative install will do all that for you [22:58] I've got one partition with both my current OS (Ubuntu Hardy) and all my data on it (mistake, I know). I want to have a clean slate and install Xubuntu - is there a way to do that without nuking all my data? [22:58] leaving [22:58] Does anyone know where to install eclipse for jaunty? [22:58] BornRebel: just install ubuntu and let it create everthing it needs on its own [22:58] Cry__Baby: go try to run a live cd on a machine with 256mb ram - with and without swap.. and you will see.

[23:00] :) [23:00] err [23:00] thank you for the info [23:00] Cry__Baby:I dont want to download and burn another iso so ill just make a half gb swap partition [23:00] joker_: so it is discovering. where do you see that list? [23:00] dragon_: what you are saying is that it's configured correctly, but the problem is somewhere else... In other words: it SHOULD work [23:00] bastidrazor: I meant 3.5 [23:00] dragon_: wlan scan or something like that [23:01] Dr_Willis: so I just delete .gnome* dirs and .gtk* dirs in my home? and reboot? [23:01] Cry__Baby: and 'sudo nautilus' is dangerous and IF you ahve done that command in the past.. that MAY be the 'core' of your whole problem.. its very possivble that some 'user' config files are incorrectly owned by root. due to you using that filemanager as root. === Raven__ is now known as rvn_ [23:01] bastidrazor: 3.2 is 3 years old version [23:01] joker_: is NetworkManager an option to handle the connection, rather than manual config? [23:01] dragon_: I installed wireless-tools or something like that [23:01] Cry__Baby: thats a thing to try.. or since youmentioned the sudo nautilus.. a 'possible' fix for that is to check/change the ownership of all the files in the users home dir, to the original owner. [23:01] dragon_: yes, but I'd have to fire it with the command line [23:01] dragon_: as I don'T see my taskbar [23:01] Dr_Willis: i needed to use gksudo nautilus to mount and copy files between Windows and Ubuntu through Virtualbox [23:02] Dr_Willis: how do I change every file in my home to my username? [23:02] Cry__Baby: Hmm.. I imagine you dident need to do that. :) but thats not the issue here. [23:02] joker_: i'm not sure if the config it correct. it looks ok. [23:02] What should my swap area partition be mounted as? [23:02] dragon_: I fired it trough a console but it doesnt do anything [23:02] nvm [23:02] Cry__Baby: sudo chown -R username.username /home/username (i think) [23:03] is firefox 3.5 available for ubuntu ? [23:03] Cry__Baby, you want to change ownership of these files? or rename them? [23:03] Dr_Willis: so you mean every single file in "Home Folder" should be owned by me, not root? [23:03] dragon_: I typed: sudo NetworkManager - and it did nothing (other than asking for password) === manio_ is now known as manio [23:03] unop: no idea.. Dr_Willis said I should [23:03] Cry__Baby: its /home/username is the path to check. [23:03] unop: Randomly, my icons in sys tray keeps moving around whenever I boot Ubuntu, and the "Window List" needs to be added again and again to the Panel.. One day they appear on the left side of the Panel, the next day they appear in the middle etc. Bug? Or something else? [23:03] Cry__Baby: so fire up the terminal, to to /home/user name and look with 'ls -al' and see if root owns anything. [23:03] joker_: yeah, NetworkManager is a GUI based tool [23:03] Hello! [23:03] dragon_: I have a gui [23:03] unop: Dr_Willis thinks it may be caused by some files ownered by root [23:04] is firefox 3.5 available for ubuntu ?

[23:26] PATPAT: extract it then read the included README or INSTALL [23:26] @ScottG http://tinyurl.com/2twktz [23:26] PATPAT: you normally 'compile' source code. that normally comes in tar.gz archives [23:26] halberd: Ah. I think that just a change of prompt color would be fine [23:26] PATPAT: what is it you are trying to install exactly. [23:27] ScottG: The setting of PS1 determines the prompt.

[23:27] PATPAT: so you'd need to use the tar command: tar -xzvf file.tar.gz [23:27] its a tar.gz [23:27] DarkMage26: he said .tar.gz [23:27] joker_: which is? [23:27] Gnea: thanks [23:27] ScottG: theres a 'bash prompt howto' that gives more info on settting bash prompts then you would ever imagine possible. [23:27] oh ok thank u [23:27] let me try [23:27] dragon_: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21 [23:27] !enter | PATPAT [23:27] PATPAT: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:27] eventually it fails [23:28] @patpat, if you downloaded it you uncompress it to you desktop, on the uncompress folder and double click the "install" file, run in terminal and follow the prompts [23:28] ScottG, export PS1="\[\e[34;40m\]\h\[\e[0m\]:\w \u\$ " [23:28] that's what I have for my prompt [23:28] Im trying to recall what 'mac4lin' even is. [23:28] dragon_: No DHCPOFFERS received [23:28] oh ok [23:28] I seem to recall win4lin [23:28] @Dr_Willis it's a mac osx skin for gnome [23:28] mac4lin makes ur computer look like a mac [23:28] and girls will like you [23:28] and what your digits [23:28] lol [23:28] nathaniel_: wow.. such critical files! [23:28] I have shut down issue. http://paste.ubuntu.com/207771/ [23:28] ScottG: I also use the full terminal background as a reminder of different systems. Create gnome-terminal profiles with slightly different background colors and ssh commands to specific systems as the custom command for each profile. [23:29] PATPAT: that's what Enlightenment is for ;) [23:29] mac4lin is a theme that utilizes other things like AWN's dock to completely look like Mac [23:29] Dr_Willis: Yea someone I know has a 2 line prompt which I wouldn't mind getting. This is my prompt now: "PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '" [23:29] LoL [23:29] actually i found/followed some make gnome look like a mac site.. and i dont recall needing to compile anything. [23:29] except you have to do some extra tweaking to get the full mac look [23:29] Bluetooth Experts. I have experiencing some issues with my mouse. If I go away for X minutes, the mouse eventually get disconnected and does not respond. I don't know if that's Bluetooth mouse or the protocol itself. However, I was able to get it back by deleting known device, add a new device, reconnect, use hidd --search, etc. Suggestion? :( [23:29] joker_: can you try setting the IP manually? (hint: ifconfig wlan0 ...) [23:29] I also refalling it being a wast of time also. [23:29] dragon_: sure, lets try that [23:29] @dr_willis ... yup i always thought, if you wanted your computer to look like a mac, why not get one?? leave ubuntu as it is :| [23:29] ScottG: Just put a new line just before \$ [23:29] dragon_: done [23:29] Anyone know how to get drag and drop to work with an eGalax touchscreen? [23:29] unop: busy? [23:30] I find mac OS-X interface worse then the normal gnome interface.. everythings in the wrong place. :) [23:30] Right now, holding my finger on the screen simply issues a right click event [23:30] stroyan: Thats a good idea. I think it might be better to just change the settings on the server though so it works on w/e computer [23:30] ThJ, you probably have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I don't know the details [23:31] hi [23:31] halberd: I have some settings there already. [23:31] can i test initramfs without rebooting?:) [23:31] PATPAT: there is a README file in your 'mac4lin' package. Did you refer to that file? [23:31] @ThJ can you apply delay's to the "commands" that are tagged to certain movements on the screen? [23:31] im looking thr [23:31] halberd: I have googled quite extensively, hard to find info on it. [23:31] through [23:31] Rawplayer: use qemu? [23:31] !qemu [23:31] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [23:32] PATPAT: if you are refering to the 'metacity theme tar.gz package' you DONT uncompress it.. You just tell the theme manager to load it. [23:32] nathaniel_: well, there is a delay setting for right clicks, it's set pretty low right now [23:32] How do I find out what the color codes are for the bash prompt? [23:32] lscolors? [23:32] umm its this theme im not sure which it is [23:32] file:///root/Mac4Lin_v1.0.tar.gz [23:32] PATPAT: read and follow directions perhaps --> http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac [23:33] !root | PATPAT [23:33] PATPAT: 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 [23:33] ScottG: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansi_escape_codes [23:33] test? [23:33] dsgas [23:33] let me see [23:33] PATPAT: and theres No need for you do be doing this stuff as the 'root' user. [23:33] sudo su [23:33] dragon_: somehow, when I'm forcinbg the IP, I loose all connections (apparently) [23:33] no need to ever do 'sudo su' either. :) [23:33] lol [23:33] yes i was just at the website u sent me but the thing is i ahve a tar.gz file [23:33] I have a shut down issue. http://paste.ubuntu.com/207771/ [23:34] dragon_: I had to take wlan0 down to get back here [23:34] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [23:34] how do I find out what the color codes are for the terminal? [23:34] PATPAT: that url i gave says 'install the theme .tar.gz file in th theme tool' basically [23:34] ScottG: See the wikipedia link I posted earlier [23:34] joker_: i have a gut feeling that there's something about the key. Remove it from that network config file, and try to get to the NetworkManager [23:34] oh ok [23:34] oh sorry didnt see [23:34] so just go to the them and load it/ [23:34] dragon_: The card is sending lots of packets (according to ifconfig) but receiving only a few - over a tousand versus 70) [23:35] PATPAT: upen up the theme/config tool.. drag/drop the tar.gz to it.. may work [23:35] dragon_: aight [23:35] joker_: besides that, there's no security block on the router, right? [23:36] it doesnt locate it [23:36] dragon_: no mac adress filters nope... [23:36] i think i tneed to do the xzvf thing but i dont know the full command [23:36] PATPAT: tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz [23:36] PATPAT: the gui also can handle archives... double click.. drag the folder from the archive to the desktop [23:37] is there an equivalent of that little accessibility keyboard in windows visa for ubuntu? [23:37] oh ok [23:37] !info unp [23:37] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (jaunty), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB [23:37] PATPAT: or install the 'unp' command. and use 'unp whatever.tar.gz' :) [23:37] dragon_: I commented out everything in the file interfaces [23:37] PATPAT: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [23:37] scroll down [23:38] 1 sec [23:38] that archive is not a 'theme' archive.. it has scripts and lots of extras in it. [23:38] I'm trying to help a friend importing a-mails from pst-outlook to thunderbird in ubuntu - no windows, just the pst - anyone? [23:38] dragon_: Wife calls for dinner... be back later. Thanks so far! [23:38] joker_: you're welcome [23:38] i wonder, is there a free alternative to ubuntu landscape? [23:39] Vonor: Spacewalk, but AFAIK it still has a hard dependency on Oracle. [23:39] Vonor: this IRC channel? [23:39] mneptok, spacewalk is for redhat based systems only? [23:39] A|i, did you sort out the -ati trouble we discussed yesterday [23:39] hello can someone please help me setup my fstab to load all my drives automatically when mint start please. Here's a list of my drives http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m35943bca [23:39] Vonor: not if you write the necessary changes. ;) [23:39] PATPAT: that archivbe also has a 'mac4lin' installer .sh script.. extract the archive.. cd to the archive directory and run that script.. GOOD LUCK. :) [23:40] hi. Please can anyone tell me how to change my open office into french? [23:40] evon, see the wiki [23:40] evon: this channel is not for help with Mint. [23:40] the xcvf.tar.gz command worked [23:40] and said its installed [23:40] but i dont see changes [23:40] tormod, yep, no more freezing so far [23:40] PATPAT: its not INSTALLED if you just extracted it. [23:40] thunderbird channel? [23:40] do i need to go in the apearnce them and install [23:40] touch wood [23:40] ok so how to i installed it now [23:40] A|i, what did you do? [23:41] PATPAT: you extract the archive somewhere. it made a directory called Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0 [23:41] evon Well some are probably already there. We'd need to see your existing fstab file. And output of mount. [23:41] tormod, in bios i found out that AGP was set to 8, so i set it to 8 in ubuntu [23:41] PATPAT: you go TO that directory and fromthe terminal, run that installer script [23:41] yeas it ddid [23:41] !enter | patpat [23:41] patpat: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:41] ok and what is the installer script? [23:41] apt-install? [23:41] PATPAT: apt-get is only used with packages in the repos [23:41] I have a shut down issue. Can ne1 help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/207771/ [23:41] oh ok [23:41] does anyone know when/if there will be 64 bit support for pptpconfig? [23:42] soo............what is it [23:42] mneptok: mint and ubuntu are foundationally the same so I think that whatever advice i get here will be fine === cthulhu is now known as Guest20551 [23:42] A|i, that "a" in the agp mode means 8x, "9" would be 4x [23:42] usr13: how do i get the output of mount?

This the line for it: UUID=af23b608-6d0a-4662-aa6f-525b4ce6a2e5 /media/storage ext4 relatime,rw,user 0 0 [23:42] PATPAT: extract the archive.. go to the directory the archive made. run the install script. its that simple it seems.. [23:42] evon: Type mount [23:42] tormod, yes, and i think it was set to 4 in xorg [23:42] OHHHH you didnt explain it right [23:42] i thoughtu wanted me to run a terminal [23:43] PATPAT: you MUST run the insdtall command from a terminal.. correct [23:43] PATPAT: its a terminal command. :) [23:43] usr13: where is the fstab file [23:43] A|i, but you said you had "a" in the log? [23:43] ? [23:43] PATPAT: or perhaps click on it and tell it to 'run in terminal' [23:43] evon, /etc/fstab [23:43] oh ok [23:43] evon: as bastidrazor said /etc/fstab [23:43] PATPAT: i nowhave a ugly OS-X looking desktop after running that script. [23:43] so what is the command to install [23:44] i dont mind [23:44] PATPAT: LOOK in the Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0 directory [23:44] PATPAT: make install [23:44] i just dont like this [23:44] milo_: what language setting do you have? That is, what does 'print $LANG' in a terminal say? [23:44] tormod, this is my log from yesterday: tormod> and the mode is 4 IIRC. try setting 8 [23:44] PATPAT: read the README [23:44] its a shell script in that directory.. look/read its rather straight forward [23:44] i see the install file it i click then nothing i right click and i cant run it [23:44] tormod, (II) RADEON(0): [agp] Mode 0x1f000a0a [AGP 0x1106/0x0282; Card 0x1002/0x4152 0x174b/0x7c19] [23:44] A|i, IIRC mean if I remember correctly.

It is supposed to work without fiddling with xorg.conf, so we can add a quirk to the driver if needed. [23:46] Ubuntu 9.04 ---- Fstab trouble granting user permissions to a hard disk.

[23:50] VCoolio: tried it, not working [23:50] tormod: thanks, trying it out [23:51] evon, you should read the wiki docs that people have written for you [23:51] evon: Ok, everythings mounting already accept for sda2 and sda3 so you can create entries for them, but first you have to create mount points. You can name them something similar to NTFS1 and NTFS2 or MS1 and MS2, etc. it is up to you, but you have to create the mount points like this: mkdir /MS1 /MS2 and then add lines to your fstab file like this: /dev/sda2 /MS1 ntfs noauto,user,rw 0 0 #and /dev/sda3 /MS2 ntfs noauto,user,rw 0 0 [23:51] tormod: where do i find those?

[23:55] tormod: what was that command to check your xorg.conf file? Thanks for the resend [23:55] but the other day [23:55] cube: It's probably there. Except that "hamster" isn't what you're looking for. [23:55] PATPAT: did you ever tar xvzf Mac4Lin_v1.0.tar.gz [23:55] hi [23:55] channel for wine?

[23:55] cube: hamster-applet is time tracking applet for gnome. So you need to find something related to time tracking.

[23:56] Or lists all those sound cards and modems etc, anyhow [23:56] LogicalGhost: lsmod, perhaps? [23:56] chaotic: what do you mean by it won't boot [23:56] explain further [23:56] pnema, it should work without any xorg.conf. otherwise file a bug using: ubuntu-bug xorg [23:56] rhino: all i get is a blinking _ [23:56] pnema: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:56] no text then? [23:57] rhino: nope [23:57] PATPAT: http://drop.io/dr_willis has the 'exact' commands i used to download/insttall the mac4lin thing. [23:57] chaotic, do not repeat yourself, there is enough noise here [23:57] lcabrini: No, it gave me a list that had like "PCI" and "Ethernet" and lots of other fun acronyms [23:57] pnema tormod is correct, you do not need xorg.conf file.

Any reason why my multimedia keys suddenly stopped working? [23:59] usr13: so mv xorg.conf and restart X? [23:59] The bizarre part is that the computer doesn't seem to recognize that there's a wireless card at all - it says it's "disabled" - but as far as I know the thing doesn't have an on/off switch
